He is the first two-time winner of this award, which he also won in 1999.\r\n\r\nChief Kline has served as president of the association and has been an executive committee member for nearly 20 years. He is a South Carolina Firefighter Hall of Famer and has been awarded the Medal of Valor for an act of bravery.  He has spent his career training firefighters and educating the public on fire safety.  He has led the charge in South Carolina teaching people the importance of residential sprinklers and continues to be committed to the state’s fire service.\r\n\r\nChief Kline was raised in Ogdensburg, N.Y., and came to Beaufort in 1980 by way of the United States Marine Corps.  He began his career at Beaufort City Fire Department in 1984.  He became the fire chief of Fripp Island 1991, and in 2005 he became the chief of the Lady’s Island – St. Helena Fire District, where he continues to serve and lead.\r\n\r\nAlso at the conference, Chief Will Vaignuer was sworn in as president of the association at the Transfer of Command Ceremony.\r\n\r\nChief Vaignuer was born in Beaufort, and grew up in Port Royal with parents Benny and Linda and sister Angel. He graduated from Beaufort High School, and is married to Monica and has two kids — a son Ben, 18, and a daughter Chase, 10.\r\n\r\nHe joined the fire service in 1999. Chief Vaignuer said, “I have spent my entire career serving the citizens of Lady’s Island-St. Helena Fire District.  Worked my way up through the ranks and was promoted to lieutenant over the training division in 2005.  Earned the rank of captain in 2008. In 2011, I returned to shift work as a battalion chief.”\r\n\r\nHis first involvement with the South Carolina State Firefighter’s Association came in 2007 when he assisted with the planning for the funerals for the Charleston 9. “Fire Chief Bruce Kline invited me in to build the command structure for these funerals,” he described. “Here, I was able to get an inside look at the great things that the association does for the firefighters of this state. From that moment, I knew that I wanted to be an active member of our association and do all that I could do for the firefighters in this state.  My involvement in honoring these nine firefighters continues to be one of my proudest moments.”\r\n\r\nBecause of his work in Charleston, he was appointed to the Member’s Benefits Chair in 2008. He was then elected to the office of 4th Vice President in 2010.\r\n\r\nThe South Carolina State Firefighter’s Association is made up of 17,500 firefighters from all around the state.  The firefighters represent 500 different fire departments.\r\n\r\nChief Vaignuer says, “I entered the fire service to make a difference in the community.  By being in the right place at the right time doing the right thing, I have been able to make a difference in the South Carolina Fire Service.”\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div></div>', 'Fighting fires, earning honors', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'fighting-fires-earning-honors', '', '', '2014-06-25 21:58:26', '2014-06-26 01:58:26', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=17351', 0, 'post', '', 0),

(17427, 4, '2014-07-03 20:04:59', '2014-07-04 00:04:59', '<b>By Tracie Korol</b>\r\n\r\nWhen I came to the Lowcountry seven years ago, the word “organic” had not yet arrived. It is fairly common now though used in a fairly cavalier manner as is “natural” (a word that means nothing) and now, “holistic”, a word that has been adopted to placate a growing demand for “wellness”, and you know how I feel about <i>that</i> word. So, what does holistic mean now that we see it attached to local veterinary practices?  What <i>should</i> it mean?\r\n\r\nTraditional veterinary practice (conventional) is much like what Western medicine is for humans. The focus is aimed at determining what the problem is and then trying to solve it. It is based primarily in pharmacological medicine. A traditional veterinarian may very well have your pet’s best interest at heart, but he or she is sometimes at a loss as to how best solve a chronic or undetermined condition. Western veterinary medicine offers all the diagnostic doo-dads — ultrasound, X-ray, MRI, chemotherapy, blood transfusions, all the way up to organ transplants and, as many of us know, tend to run up the bill. They will vaccinate pets every year and sell you all kinds of pesticides to put in or on your animal.\r\n\r\nHolistic veterinarians practice a more Eastern thought in that the body is treated as an individual, and as a whole. While two different patients may present similar symptoms, their respective treatments may be quite dissimilar. In addition, holistic veterinarian practice is centered on keeping the pet healthy overall to prevent issues from starting. When a chronic issue surfaces, holistic veterinarians are likely to look first to whole food diets, herbal supplements,  nutraceuticals and complementary and alternative therapies such as chiropractic, homeopathy, acupuncture, essential oils and energy healing (Reiki).  They do not over-vaccinate nor do they recommend poisons oral or topical.\r\n\r\nDiseases are seen as a natural course of life and not necessarily something to ‘solve.’ Moreover, health and disease are viewed as a natural rhythm of life and fully inter-related. Holistic medicine is about finding the root cause of a problem and treating from there, not simply treating the symptom. Often, it’s not the “quick fix” Americans have come to expect. For instance, steroids will stop your dog from itching in a few hours but why is your dog itching in the first place? For sure, you’ll be back in three weeks for another shot when Doodle begins to dig at her belly. A holistic vet works with the animals than rather than do battle against their disease symptoms. He’ll ask about food, lifestyle, reaction to stimuli (heat and cold, sound, dampness, etc.). He’ll ask about your dog’s <i>spirit</i>.\r\n\r\nAn integrative approach is one that combines conventional practice with holistic practice. These vets have a firm ground in traditional medicine, but recognize that holistic medicine is a valuable addition and, in some cases, be the best course of action. This type of veterinarian realizes that conventional and holistic medicine can complement one another. This is the kind of doc I look for.\r\n\r\nI worked with and trained under many fine (and now famous) integrative vets in New England and was disheartened to learn that like “organic”, holistic hadn’t yet made it to this area. However, I recently found Charlie Timmerman, DVM, member of the AHVMA (American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association) at the Aiken Veterinary Clinic.\r\n\r\nSeven of my dog friends are now friends of Dr. Charlie. Four of those friends were sent home to die, one had chronic itches, one has heart disease and one a rare auto-immune disorder. The dogs sent home to die from various cancers have all had a drastic reduction in tumor size, they’re healthier than they have ever been (most likely), some have had ancillary ailments vanish along the way and all are doing well.  My itchy friend is in a one-year program to forever eradicate the cause of her “allergy”, a process that involves homeopathy, auto-sanguis treatment and a recently added clinical trial. None of the treatments involve synthetic pharmaceuticals and all included a drastic change of diet — healthy fresh foods and raw proteins. The owners of the death sentence dogs are delighted they have a few more years with their Best Friends. And, it’s all pretty easy and infinitely cheaper.  It takes a little more time, but I’m willing to give time to the creatures I love.\r\n\r\nAs for Dr. Charlie, he’s in the office Mondays and Thursdays.\r\n<div></div>', 'What is a holistic vet?', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'what-is-a-holistic-vet', '', '', '2014-07-03 20:04:59', '2014-07-04 00:04:59', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=17427', 0, 'post', '', 0),
(17429, 4, '2014-07-03 20:05:42', '2014-07-04 00:05:42', '<b>By Celia Strong</b>\r\n\r\nI do realize that all is not always happy on the homefront, but for most of us, a glass of wine helps. And this week we can learn about a new wine that not only tastes great but also benefits service members and their families — that’s enough to make any American happy during this Fourth of July weekend.\r\n\r\nWe travel to California, the source for about 90 percent of the wine made in the United States. Wine production in California dates back to the 18th century when Spanish missionaries planted vineyards in order to make wines for Mass. Today there are more than 1,200 wineries, all different sizes and production levels and all making the best wines they can.\r\n\r\nOver the years, as the wine industry in California has grown, wine makers have developed a fruit-forward style for their wines; many of them ready to drink when they are purchased, or close to that. Other countries have chosen to make wines in this style, and it has become known as New World style.\r\n\r\nMore than 100 red and white grape varieties are grown in California. The diversity of soil types and climates spread throughout the state has enabled wineries to make a huge range of styles of wine, all with great success.\r\n\r\nThis week we are going to look to Sonoma County for our wine. Sonoma, the town, was the most northern of the Spanish missions established in California and it was the capital city of the California Republic — a short-lived entity resulting from the ousting of the Mexican colony. Still, today, it is the center of the wine business in the county. A visit to the town Sonoma lets you get a sense of its Spanish and Mexican beginnings — it was laid out like a traditional Spanish town where the streets run off from a large central plaza. Sonoma’s city hall, built early in the 20th century, is located in the center of the plaza. There are also about 30 restaurants around the plaza, so you can see what’s important there.\r\n\r\nSonoma is known as birthplace of American California. The Bear Flag was first raised in the plaza on June 14, 1986. After the Mexican-American War that followed the revolt in Sonoma, the Spanish leader General Vallejo was imprisoned and the United States flag was raised.\r\n\r\nCalifornia’s oldest wine festival is at Valley of the Moon winery every September in Sonoma. The climate in Sonoma County is Mediterranean with hot, dry summers and cool, wet winters. Rainfall averages about 30 inches every year, and snow is rare.\r\n\r\nOur winery this week, Murphy-Goode, was founded in 1985 by three friends: Tim Murphy, Dale Goode and Dave Ready. Their first wines were a Fumé Blanc and a Chardonnay, made from grapes grown on the Murphy Ranch. Today, Dave Ready, Jr. is the winemaker. He grew up in Minnesota but wanted to be a rock star. So, he moved to California, ended up at the winery where his dad worked and became the assistant winemaker in 1997. In 2001, he became the head winemaker. Dave still likes to play and write some songs, but his passion for wine is just as strong — the artistic urge is satisfied with both. And, he’s loyal to the Minnesota Vikings too. The football team’s purple color is on all of Dave’s wine labels.\r\n\r\nOur wine, the Murphy-Goode Homefront Red, is another passion for everyone at the winery. For each bottle sold of this wine, the winery gives $.50 cents to Operation Homefront. This is a nonprofit organization that provides financial help and other assistance to families of service members and wounded warriors. (This charity is rated four stars by watchdog Charity Navigator. Ninety-four percent of their revenue goes to Operation Homefront.)  And, while $.50 cents from each bottle might not sound like a lot, there is no cap on how much the winery will give. (The donation amount from the 2011 production will be close to $300,000 from 54,000 cases.) And the are possible plans for another vintage that will raise more. That means if we keep buying this wine, they will keep giving. Also, Murphy-Goode makes no profit for themselves on this wine. Helping service members and their families was a choice Dave, Jr. made because his father served in Vietnam, both grandfathers were in World War II, and his great-grandfather was in World War I.\r\n\r\nSo, what is this wine? It is a red blend that, according to the winery, was a pretty easy blend to develop: Dave sat down, tasted a few bits of a few wines, and voilà. The predominant grape is Syrah, giving great texture to the wine. There is also some Merlot for fruitiness and smoothness, some Zinfandel added for spicy flavors, and a bit of Petit Sirah gives structure. All grapes are aged in American and French oak barrels.\r\n\r\nThe finished wine has very pleasant aromas — vanilla and oaky notes with plenty of dark berry fruits. Black cherry and blackberry lead the flavors, followed with more vanilla, some cocoa powder, some black pepper spice and baking spices like cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. The tannins are soft so the textures are smooth and inviting.\r\n\r\nI know we only have the one vintage of this wine, because they’ve only made one so far, but it is worth trying while we can. The suggested retail price is $15 dollars. But you can find it at Bill’s Liquors on Lady’s Island for only $11.99. And, for you real fans? There are three big bottles, three liter bottles, available at $39.99 — that’s the equivalent amount of wine from four bottles, for $10 a bottle. For sure, you might need a few friends to share it with, but drinking together is why we taste and learn about the wine in the first place. And, with this wine, we are helping our service members and their families. Seems like a lot of good reasons why all is happy on the homefront.

The ultimate goal of The Learning Center Fund is to make resources available to children who learn differently, so that they can embrace education with enthusiasm and confidence both in and beyond the classroom. It is available to every child in Beaufort County.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_17435\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/2014-05-16-00.05.03.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-17435\" alt=\"Malcolm Goodridge (back left) and students from John Paul II Catholic School congratulate Learning Center Coach Carol Martos (front left), Vice Principal Heather Rembold and Principal Sister Pamela Smith (right) for the grant received from the Learning Center Fund.

The program will begin at the school in August.[/caption]\r\n\r\nThe Learning Center Fund, established through the Coastal Community Foundation (CCF), held its annual meeting on May 22 to receive progress reports from the various institutions to which the fund grants awards. The organizations served this calendar year include The Boys &amp; Girls Club of the Lowcountry, Bridges Preparatory School, Penn Center, St. Peter’s Catholic School and Beaufort County School District’s Child Find Expansion Grant. The fund has also granted awards to John Paul II Catholic School and AMIkids, who will begin Learning Centers at each respective location this August. And, Holy Trinity Christian School has submitted a grant application for next year as well.\r\n\r\nBoard Members of The Learning Center Fund present at the meeting were Malcolm Goodridge, David House and Charles Kresch. Also in attendance were Edna Davis, regional vice president for CCF, and D. C. Gilley, CCF board member.\r\n\r\nCollectively, all of the institutions showed great progress with an increase in students’ test scores, more focused behavior and greater confidence in reading and math. Students served in this program this year ranged from 2 years old to those in twelfth grade.\r\n\r\nThe youngest of children served in Beaufort County were assisted by a team of three early childhood professionals within the County’s School District Child Find Expansion Grant. An extensive media campaign was launched to target public and private schools, child care centers, pediatricians, medical facilities and community agencies serving children and families, and monthly screening sites were set up. Child Find purchased assessment materials and readiness packets, and the school district developed an extensive data collection system for the grant, capable of monitoring and tracking results.\r\n\r\nTo date, 166 children have been screened, and 102 were identified and referred to preschool programs. Through vision, hearing, speech and development data collected for each child, the team identified 20 children in need of further formal evaluation. Twelve of these children became enrolled in Early Childhood Special Education Intervention programs last year thanks to the grant from The Learning Center Fund.\r\n\r\nKay Newsome, Child Find’s director, explains, “We feel the grant has already surpassed our expectations for the current year, and screening opportunities are still under way.”\r\n\r\nLaura McAlhaney, The Learning Center Coach at Bridges Preparatory School, agrees. “The best thing about this generously funded program is that coaching has touched the lives of 34 learners here at Bridges,” she says.\r\n\r\nMcAlhaney developed a Qualifying Rubric at the beginning of the year to identify students who could potentially use the services of the center. The rubric indicated that 100 percent of students receiving services showed improvement in one of more areas of classroom behavior, academic skills, cognitive/processing/memory skills and classroom performance skills.\r\n\r\n“Using MAP testing scores as a measurement tool, 60 percent of students enrolled with TLC made gains of one or more years, and 100 percent showed these same gains using the Fountas &amp; Pinnell Benchmarking Instructional System,” explained McAlhaney.\r\n\r\nSt. Peter’s Catholic School also used the Fountas &amp; Pinnell Benchmarking Instructional System. Of the 16 students given reading services, 100 percent made gains. Some made as many as seven or eight levels, and one student tested out of the program in January.\r\n\r\nNancy Kessel and Pam Pesavento are the Learning Center reading coaches at St. Peter’s, and Joe Benning, the school’s principal, is the math coach who served seven students.\r\n\r\nTwo organizations that benefitted from The Learning Center Fund were after-school programs at Penn Center and The Boys &amp; Girls Club of the Lowcountry.\r\n\r\nPenn Center’s coach, Ruby Jackson, identified 15 students with learning differences by obtaining BCSD reports from parents. Tutors were assigned based on age, and 100% of the students served improved academically and exhibited better social interaction by the school year’s end. As opposed to other programs, Penn Center’s teachers had the ability to discuss student’s progress with parents each afternoon at pick up, which gave the teachers a communication advantage and the opportunity to have one-on-one conferences.\r\n\r\nOne of the proudest accomplishments Jackson witnessed this year was watching a student climb from a 17 percent grade point average for his age to a 75 percent.\r\n\r\nShe adds, “I can see differences, not only academically, but in their attitudes as well. The extra attention is helping their self-esteem, which is necessary for future success.”\r\n\r\nThe other after school program was located at The Boys &amp; Girls Club and was administered by Erin Ruth. She serviced nine children directly, but over 100 received academic support.\r\n\r\n“The direct support to these nine students allowed them to maintain their skill levels and graduate to the next grade level. Without this program, these students would have fallen through the cracks,” explains Ruth.\r\n\r\nThe Boys &amp; Girls Club will be moving this summer due to modification of classrooms at Bridges Preparatory School, which is located at the Boundary Street facility. The Learning Center will be offered this summer at its temporary location at Shanklin School for an eight-week program. It started on June 9th and will focus on eliminating the summer learning loss using funds from this grant.\r\n\r\nImplementation of The Learning Center at John Paul II Catholic School begins in August. The school has hired its Learning Center coach, Carol Martos, and a math tutor, Marie Nicksa. Enrollment for the upcoming school year has more than doubled, and the school district has tested three of the school’s students with another two pending as having learning differences. This is in addition to six who have already been identified as having dyslexia, Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).\r\n\r\nSister Pamela Smith, SS.C.M., Ph.D. is the school’s principal.\r\n\r\n“The school is committed to offering as much as possible to its students. In addition to having staff of The Learning Center, we also hired two teachers who are certified in the education of gifted and talented students to assure that we truly meet the needs of students with a full spectrum of abilities,” she says.\r\n\r\nEach organization was given a grant between $5,000 and $50,000 from The Learning Center Fund and was required to match funds. All organizations will continue their respective Learning Center programs for the 2014/2015 academic year.\r\n\r\nTo understand students who learn differently is to understand educational research and the practice of knowing the whole child as a learner. Research and understanding dictates the need to individualize student learning, wherein educators recognize and build upon a student’s strengths while simultaneously providing remediation and support for areas of weakness. Based on this knowledge and best practice, The Learning Center Fund recognizes that basically all children can be identified as learning differently — that is what makes each student an individual.\r\n\r\nFor more information about The Learning Center Fund, to donate to its endowment or to inquire about a grant application, please contact the Coastal Community Foundation’s Beaufort office at 843-379-3400 or its Charleston office at 843-723-3635.\r\n<div></div>', 'The Learning Center Fund receives progress reports', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'the-learning-center-fund-receives-progress-reports', '', '', '2014-07-03 20:11:14', '2014-07-04 00:11:14', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=17434', 0, 'post', '', 0),

In 2013, Parris Island opted not to hold any Fourth of July events in order to minimize the fiscal impact on vital programs affected by sequestration. This year’s decision was made not only to save money, but also as a fitting way for Parris Island to share the holiday with its neighbors.\r\n\r\n“Having the Parris Island band is the highlight of our annual Fourth celebration. The fireworks are good and the food and drink good, but folks now anticipate bringing their chairs and enjoying the patriotic songs that are the prelude to the fireworks,” said Joe Lee, Port Royal town council member. “The Town of Port Royal is honored to have the presence of our Marines at this special event.”\r\n\r\nThe Parris Island Marine Band’s primary mission is to provide musical support for recruit graduations and other military ceremonies and events. In addition to playing at approximately 40 recruit graduations each year, the band also performs in community events across the United States and locally.\r\n\r\nParris Island’s band was formed on Oct. 28, 1915, around the same time enlisted recruit training was permanently established here. Musicians originally doubled as marksmanship instructors, close combat instructors and provided support for various units on the depot.\r\n\r\nFor more information on the band, visit http://www.mcrdpi.marines.mil/Units/ParrisIslandMarineBand.aspx.', 'Celebrate with Fourth of July fun in Port Royal', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'celebrate-with-fourth-of-july-fun-in-port-royal', '', '', '2014-07-03 20:22:27', '2014-07-04 00:22:27', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=17444', 0, 'post', '', 0),

For adults, dental myths that may lead to a wiser you and a healthier mouth.\r\n\r\n<b>“I haven’t seen the dentist in years so I don’t have any cavities.” </b>NOT TRUE. Many dental issues do not cause pain until they have progressed very far, for example, a root canal. Gum disease, on the other hand, may not cause any pain at all. Seeing your dentist regularly is the only way to ensure you don’t have any of these issues. Your visit to the dentist should be based on your individual needs. Many studies have shown that plaque can build up in as little as 90 days, which leads to inflammation and infection that can affect your entire body. So if you want a really healthy smile, and body, having your teeth cleaned four times a year is the way to go.\r\n\r\n<b>“I don’t eat sweets, so I don’t need to brush as often.” </b>NOT TRUE. Removing the bacteria from your mouth is important no matter what you eat, because many foods are broken down into sugars. What are the worst offenders for your grill? Foods that stick to the teeth like raisins and fruit rollups, along with foods that have a high acid content, such as citrus fruits.\r\n\r\n<b>“Flossing is as important as brushing.” </b>TRUE. Flossing removes almost half of the bacteria and food particles that are found in your mouth after you eat; not flossing means you’re doing half the job.\r\n\r\n<b>“Hard bristled toothbrushes clean better.”</b> NOT TRUE (unless you are cleaning the grout on the bathroom tile floor instead of your teeth!) The softer the better for bristles — hard or medium bristles can damage teeth and worsen gum recession due to a traumatic occlusion. Also, studies show that high-quality electric toothbrushes with soft bristles are a great investment because they clean better than manual tooth brushes.\r\n\r\n<b>“Mouthwash is the best way to freshen your breath.”</b> NOT TRUE. Most mouthwashes cover bad breath but they do not treat the underlying cause. Bad breath can be caused by bacteria in your mouth, cavities, gum disease, or it may be a sign of other medical issues. Your dentist can help rule out dental issues as the cause. If you like using mouthwash, go with an alcohol-free brand, because the alcohol in mouthwash will dry out your mouth. And while we are talking about fresh breath, sugar free gum with Xylitol is an effective way to get a clean mouth feeling if you can’t brush.\r\n\r\n<b>“Avoiding dark liquids and coffees or drinking through a straw will keep your teeth from getting dark.” </b>MOSTLY TRUE. It’s more than coffee, tea and soda that stain our teeth. Teeth that have wear and enamel loss tend to be darker because those teeth have less of a protective layer against those staining liquids. Foods such as berry pies, soy sauces, red sauces and mustards/ketchups can cause teeth to darken over time. The best way to whiten your teeth and keep them white is to visit your dentist and have him do an in office whitening or make you custom trays. There are some over the counter whitening products like whitening toothpastes, but they typically do very little to whiten teeth. Use regular toothpaste with fluoride to keep your teeth looking great and cavity-free.\r\n\r\n<i>Dr. Wallace practices at Palmetto Smiles of Beaufort and can be contacted at 843-524-7645 or www.palmettosmilesofbeaufort.com.</i>\r\n<div><i> </i></div>', 'Debunking common dental myths among adults', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'debunking-common-dental-myths-among-adults', '', '', '2014-07-03 20:28:03', '2014-07-04 00:28:03', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=17454', 0, 'post', '', 0),
(17456, 4, '2014-07-03 20:28:39', '2014-07-04 00:28:39', '<b>By Susan Stone</b>\r\n\r\nDo you have a happy life? Do you look forward to the mystery of what each day will hold? If so, there is nothing you need to change. Keep up the good work!\r\n\r\nIf not, what is the point? When do you plan to begin your extraordinary life?\r\n\r\nBeing over 50 has come with so many gifts. Many of life’s struggles are behind me now. But, in looking around, age doesn’t seem to be a happiness indicator. For many people, the older they get, the more things they find to complain about.\r\n\r\nYou are getting from life <i>exactly</i> what you are giving to it. It is the law — Universal Law. I don’t remember hearing about this in school. In fact, I did not know about universal laws until I was almost 40. What a relief to know why my life was not working.\r\n\r\nEven though God has a sense of humor, the universe does not. Its laws are cold and treat each one of us exactly the same. The universal laws level out the playing field, so to speak.\r\n\r\nI used to think that life was unfair. It appeared that some people were just luckier than I was. It seemed very unjust that anyone was hungry, homeless or sick. It felt terrible to experience the untimely death of a young person. Until, I was introduced to the laws.\r\n\r\nIt doesn’t appear to matter whether we believe in them or not, we are bound to them. Like physical laws, they do not require our understanding. You do not have to understand the mechanics or the dynamics of gravity to be bound to it. When you drop a hammer, be sure your toes are somewhere else.\r\n\r\nWe heard a lot about the Law of Attraction when the book and movie “The Secret” became popular. For some, it was the first time they had ever heard of universal law. And so, I thank all of the authors for introducing the concept of “creating your own reality.” But today I would like to introduce you to one of the lesser known laws: The Law of Reciprocity. Without it, we may find creating our own reality a little challenging.\r\n\r\nThe Law of Reciprocity is all about giving and receiving. It sounds rather elementary, but many of us are not even able to receive a compliment without dodging it; we look down or away. We diminish it with “Oh, this old thing?”\r\n\r\nEnergetically, reciprocity is all about control, or the lack thereof. If you are giving, you are in control of who you give to, what you give, when you give and how much you give. When you are on the receiving end, you control nothing except your response. You cannot control the amount given, the time it is given, the who or the why. You are vulnerable at this point and, generally, humility is the last thing we think of as a tool. Why does a humble “thank you” not seem enough? We want to run out and do something for that person, or buy something to pay them back.\r\n\r\nWhen you receive a kindness from anyone, remember that you are getting from this world exactly what you have put in to it. It is simply your kindness coming back around. Isn’t that cool?\r\n\r\nRecently, Martha O’Regan wrote, “Pre-sent from the past and in to the future,” introducing the idea that the present moment was <b>pre-sent</b> by you. So, enjoy the rewards of being a kind person. Receive gladly the generosity you have shown others. When something seems unfair, go back and look where you sent that from. The answers will amaze you!\r\n<div></div>', 'What you give is what you get', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'what-you-give-is-what-you-get', '', '', '2014-07-03 20:28:39', '2014-07-04 00:28:39', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=17456', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Siegel</b>\r\n\r\nI recall a few extraordinary patients during my ophthalmology residency who have left an indelible memory. One such patient was a 13 year old who was playing with an M-80 explosive device that he placed in a soup can. The subsequent explosion sent shards of metal that were absorbed by his face and one of his eyes. The metal perforated his cornea and lens and lodged in the back wall of his eye in his retina. After multiple surgeries, he can see a hand waved in front of his face.\r\n\r\nI really hate to be a buzz kill before this Fourth of July holiday — what should be a time when wonderful memories are made with family and loved ones.\r\n\r\nUnfortunately, more than 9,000 fireworks injuries happen each year on average in the United States, with roughly 1 in 8 fireworks injuries harming the eyes, according to the most recent fireworks injury report from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. Common fireworks eye injuries include burns, lacerations, abrasions, retinal detachment, optic nerve damage and ruptured eyeballs.\r\n\r\nThose injured are not necessarily handling the explosives themselves. In fact, nearly half of people injured by fireworks are bystanders, according to an international study. Children are frequent victims: 30 percent who sustained a fireworks injury near the Fourth of July holiday are ages 15 and under, according to the commission report.\r\n\r\nEven sparklers can burn more than 1,000 degrees hotter than the boiling point of water. So, fireworks should not be thought of as toys, but devices that can cause third-degree burns. This is why people must be vigilant and take precautions to avoid the risk of serious eye injury.\r\n\r\n<b>Fireworks Safety Tips</b>\r\n\r\nThe best way to avoid a potentially blinding fireworks injury is by attending a professional public fireworks show rather than purchasing fireworks for home use.\r\n\r\nFor those who attend professional fireworks displays and/or live in communities surrounding the shows:\r\n\r\n• Respect safety barriers at fireworks shows and view fireworks from at least 500 feet away.\r\n\r\n• Do not touch unexploded fireworks; instead, immediately contact local fire or police departments to help.\r\n\r\nFor those who decide to purchase consumer fireworks because they live in states where they are legal, such as South Carolina, follow the following safety tips to prevent eye injuries:\r\n\r\n• Never let children play with fireworks of any type, even sparklers.\r\n\r\n• Adults handling fireworks should always wear protective eyewear that meets the parameters set by the American National Standards Institute and ensure that all bystanders are also wearing eye protection.\r\n\r\n• Leave the lighting of professional-grade fireworks to trained pyro technicians.\r\n\r\nRemember, if an eye injury from fireworks occurs, seek medical attention immediately.\r\n<div></div>', 'Leave fireworks to professionals this Fourth of July', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'leave-fireworks-to-professionals-this-fourth-of-july', '', '', '2014-07-03 20:29:16', '2014-07-04 00:29:16', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=17458', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Says Corey, “It was a fantastic experience and a great ride but it was time to get off the roller coaster. I wanted less travel, more family time and to pursue a business that my wife and I could do together.”\r\n\r\nAnn, whose degree was in fashion merchandising, was the one who got Beaufort on their radar. She said, “Our first visit to Beaufort was 15 years ago.  Corey had an eight-week sabbatical from work and we decided to take the time to travel the U.S. I had recently read the book ‘Beach Music’ and wanted to see if Beaufort was as romantic and beautiful as Pat Conroy describes. It most certainly is! We spent a lovely day strolling the Point and soaking in the beauty and elegance of Beaufort. We were fortunate to see a lot of towns and cities on that trip, but the one place that stuck in our minds the most was that little gem of a town tucked away in the Sea Islands. Over the past 15 years we continued to visit and eventually decided to make the move.”\r\n\r\nOne year ago, the Higgins family moved to a house on the Point from San Francisco, and Beaufort turned out to be everything they hoped it would.\r\n\r\nThey have two wonderful children — Emma, 13, and Rowan, 10, who both attend Beaufort Academy.\r\n\r\nSays Corey, “I love how welcoming and supportive everyone has been. We come from a place where everyone is glued to their smart phones, pre-occupied and over-scheduled. I love that in Beaufort a simple hello can, and often does, turn into a pleasant and genuine conversation.”\r\n\r\nAnn adds, “We also love that we have a wide variety of friends — all from different places, different careers and different ages. Southern culture inspires me. It’s a region unlike others. Southerners are proud of their traditions and style. I think those who have traveled to the South, or relocated to the South, want a piece of it in their lives.”\r\n\r\nThat thinking is what led Ann and Corey to open Scout Southern Market on Bay Street in downtown Beaufort. Says Ann, “Our mission with the store is to capture the Southern lifestyle. Corey describes me as a ‘Southern enthusiast.’ I love to discover new things and searching for products and people that inspire me. I get to work directly with amazing and talented people, from local furniture makers to specialty food aficionados.”\r\n\r\nAdds Corey, “You have to be passionate about what you do. It sounds cliché but it’s true. I’ve never worked with someone more passionate about her job than my wife, Ann. It’s been a thrill to support her after she has supported my career for so many years.”\r\n\r\nAnd Ann appreciates the support — from Corey, her children and the town. She said, “Truly, the sincere support from Beaufortonians is amazing. First welcoming us to the area and now dropping by the store giving me well wishes every day.”\r\n\r\nSays Corey, “I’d like to give a shout out to the delivery men and women who service downtown Beaufort. It can be a tricky and stressful job. I never really realized it until I started helping unload commercial refrigerators and dining room tables. Thank you! You know who you are!”\r\n\r\nAnn has loved the whole store experience, especially talking with customers. She says, :As a small store owner, it changes every day.  I’m thrilled with how well received the store has been and now my focus is greeting customers and sharing the interesting stories about the Southern-sourced items in our store, which is a thrill and very rewarding.”\r\n\r\nCorey describes his job at Scout Southern Market with a smile: “I’m in charge of back office logistics, the marketing guy, and errand boy. Whatever I can take off of Ann’s plate so she can focus on our customers and the store experience.”\r\n\r\nWhile volunteering to help rebuild New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, Corey and Ann first heard the word “lagniappe.” Says Corey, “When we were working through the store concept, we wanted to deliver some ‘lagniappe’ to Beaufort. It’s a Creole word we learned in New Orleans that means ‘a little somethin’ extra.’ Our ‘lagniappe’ is the Sweet Tea Bar in the rear of the store. We wanted to offer our guests some delicious Southern snacks and the chance to ‘sip and shop’ their way through the store.”\r\n\r\nTheir specialty is the Scout Southern Market Iced Tea Float. The tall glass of iced tea topped with lemon or peach sorbet has been a hit with customers.\r\n\r\nAs for the future, Ann says, “I am determined to volunteer at Hunting Island when my schedule settles down a bit.  I have made it a life goal to help the sea turtle hatchlings and plan to host events and raise awareness through Scout Southern Market.”\r\n\r\nThe Higgins also joined Historic Beaufort Foundation and Open Land Trust before they moved to Beaufort, and say they have enjoyed learning more about the area through these organizations.\r\n\r\nCorey says there are plans for an online store in the future, but for now he said, “It’s important for us to get the store experience right before focusing on other things.”\r\n\r\nBe sure to drop by Scout Southern Market and welcome Ann and Corey to the neighborhood.\r\n\r\n<b>Scout Southern Market is located at 709 Bay Street, Beaufort.

The badge expires after one year.\r\n\r\nFor screening purposes, a volunteer is described as having direct contact with students under limited supervision or spending short periods of time with students outside of staff view. In order to become a volunteer, applicants must complete an online form, obtain approval from BIB and the district, and participate in orientation and training.\r\n\r\n“This new process will enhance our screening efforts, it will make procedures consistent in all schools, and it will improve communication between the schools and the district office,” said Alice Walton, Chief Administrative and Human Resources Officer. “When we all work together — teachers, staff and volunteers — our students reap the benefits.”\r\n\r\nThe district is encouraging both current and prospective volunteers to fill out the application on the district website.', 'District introduces improved volunteer screening process', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'district-introduces-improved-volunteer-screening-process', '', '', '2018-07-12 11:00:43', '2018-07-12 15:00:43', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=17480', 0, 'post', '', 0);

(17510, 4, '2014-07-10 06:17:22', '2014-07-10 10:17:22', '<b>By Tracie Korol</b>\r\n\r\nWhen my son turned 13, I bemoaned to a friend that a hulking stranger who ate enormous amounts of cereal at a sitting and smelled vaguely of monkeys had replaced my charming little boy.  She replied, “It’s normal. It makes it a joy when they leave.” Her son was 18 and off to college. She had survived and I settled in for the tumultuous teen years.\r\n\r\nOf course, there are parallels in the dog world. The sweet and cuddly baby morphs into a teenage hoodlum in a New York minute. Your sweet, fuzzy puppy that stubbornly refused to walk to the end of the driveway a few days ago now adventures alone to the wonders of the neighbor’s compost pile.  The sound of the doorbell that was once ignored now elicits shrieks, mad scrambling and the inevitable crash as he bounces off the front window.  Depending on your dog’s individual personality and breed, starting at around five months, teenagerhood lasts anywhere from one year to three years. This is their experimental age. Oh, dear.\r\n\r\nEach change you see tells you that puddles on the floor and high-pitched yaps in the pre-dawn hours are almost behind you. The future promises an adult dog, wise and compliant. Yet the present reality can be jarring.  As your pup continues to mature, you find yourself in the company of an animal you no longer understand, and one that is filled with boundless energy and the desire for all things doggy.\r\n\r\nWhile many pups sail though adolescence with an angelic, cooperative attitude, most dogs frazzle their families with confusing, fluctuating behaviors.  That’s because major internal and external metamorphoses are going on, fueled by physiological changes.\r\n\r\nBreed-specific characteristics such as a desire to herd, or adult traits such as scent marking, “turn on” or intensify.  Owners discover they are now being taken for walks, gasping for breath and hanging on for dear life. Squirrels take on a fascination as never before and new people and dogs are greeted with full body force or unfortunately sometimes, suspicion.  Responses to simple requests, such as going to crate or sitting on command, may result in a doggie version of “nuh-uh!” ranging from playful avoidance to downright refusal. A teen-beagle friend of mine expresses his willfulness for command by grabbing up the nearest fabric item — pillows, socks, his blanket — and running full-out through three levels of house. By the time he’s concluded his run, his owners have forgotten his command. Clever beagle, isn’t he?\r\n\r\nThe teen dog’s rapid changes, physically and mentally, qualify this period as a “critical” one. The socialization phase — from three to 12 weeks — is also “critical”. (Any fast organizational process in the development of a living creature is considered critical.) When behavior changes rapidly, something important is going on and owners must be just as fast to do what they can to modify pet’s behavior to their advantage.\r\n\r\nIn the first critical phase, your pup should have learned basic skills of good dog behavior — sit, come, leave it, potty outside, this is yours, this is mine and don’t jump on Grandma. Because you’ve taken your pup with you in your daily excursions and introduced him to variants of the human world, he is a congenial easy-going, “hey, what’s that?” kind of companion.  When the teen years hit, your pet will begin to test the parameters you’ve set and may attempt to create a few of his own behaviors through trial and error.\r\n\r\nAn undesirable behavior is most easily altered in the initial learning phase, before it stabilizes. And for sure, it can stabilize in a split second. An example is territorial barking, which can escalate rapidly if not checked.  The very first time sweet puppy lunges at the door, screaming hysterically at the mail carrier is the time to step in. Unchecked, you’ll have a frenzied, territorial adult dog who has taught himself a routine, difficult to modify. The best time for families to work with undesirable behavior is as it emerges otherwise the dog will gladly take on the job.\r\n\r\nFamilies need to understand that teen-dogs want more freedom and will certainly test the limits. It’s up to their humans to use this period to guide development of adult behavior.  Spaying and neutering helps modify emerging territoriality, marking and wandering behaviors. Socialization must be continued to impress on the dog that the world does not end at the front door.  The world is big and wonderful but we all have to be polite about it.\r\n\r\nCanine adolescence can’t be avoided, but the period is much more than just annoying.  It’s the time between puppy hood and adulthood during which good dog temperament stabilizes. Make the most of it.\r\n<div></div>', 'Hoodlum in the house', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'hoodlum-in-the-house', '', '', '2014-07-10 06:17:22', '2014-07-10 10:17:22', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=17510', 0, 'post', '', 0),

(17514, 4, '2014-07-10 06:20:51', '2014-07-10 10:20:51', '<b>By Celia Strong</b>\r\n\r\nOff we go on another adventure to a well-known part of southern France: the great region of Provence. This area was the first Roman province outside of Italy and they called it “provincia nostra,” our province. Today, this area is known for its wines, its foods, its easy lifestyle and, yes, lovely, huge fields of lavender. For those not up to date on aromatherapy, lavender is known for its relaxing powers. The scent in the air — from the fields of flowers, buds and soap scented in bathes, oils or candles — is inviting and relaxing. Lavender also influences the aroma of this week’s rosé wine.\r\n\r\nWines have been made in Provence for at least 2,600 years, ever since the Greeks founded the city of Marseilles in 600 B.C. As various cultures came and went in this area, they all influenced the grape growing and winemaking of the region. Over the years, each culture brought different grape varieties — some Greek and Roman in origin, some Spanish, some Italian and even some French. Wines today are red and white and rosé. Rosés are now more than half of the annual production.\r\n\r\nFragments of amphora from the Greek days in Provence indicate that they were making wine here almost as soon as they arrived. Before them, earlier inhabitants may have even made wine from indigenous grapes. In 125 B.C., when the Romans came, Provence wines already had a reputation for high quality around the Mediterranean. Over the centuries the Saracens, the Carolingians, the Holy Roman Empire, the Counts of Toulouse, the Catalans, René I of Naples, the House of Savoy and the Kingdom of Sardinia all played a part in what Provence wines would become.\r\n\r\nThe phylloxera epidemic, at the end of the 19th century, devastated the vineyards of Provence and many of them were slow to replant. Some turned to higher yielding varieties, like Carignan, even though they produced lower quality wines. And, like in other countries where we’ve studied wine, the building of railroads in France opened new markets in the northern part of the country for these wines, including Paris.\r\n\r\nThe 20th century brought tourism to the Riviera. And, the production of rosé wines, as compliments to the local cuisine and flavors, was increased.\r\n\r\nProvence has a Mediterranean climate with mild winters and warm, dry summers. There are more than 3,000 hours of sunshine here each year, twice as much as the grapes need to ripen. The soil across the region is varied and not uniform anywhere.\r\n\r\nThe main grape grown in Provence is Mourvèdre, used in red and rosé wines. Grenache and Cinsault are also grown, as well as Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, and Carignan. Other red varieties include Braquet, Calitor, Folle and Tibouren. White grapes include Bourboulenc, Clairette, Grenache Blanc, Marsanne, Viognier and even Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, Rolle and Ugni Blanc. Just from some of these names we can see the influences of different cultures.\r\n\r\nAromas and flavors of Provence wines are said to reflect the landscape of the region — lavender, thyme, rosemary growing everywhere, olive trees, roses and peaches. Red wines and white wines tend to be full-bodied. And, then the rosés. Visitors to the area usually become rosé fans, or addicts, when they come home. Not only are they new wines, they are the memory we all treasure from our visit to Provence.\r\n\r\nProvence has eight major AC wine regions in it. The largest, and the one we need to know about today, is Côtes de Provence. This AC is located on the eastern side of the region and includes 85 communes. About 75 percent of all Provence wines are made in this AC. And rosés are 80 percent of that. That leaves about 15 percent for reds and 5 percent for whites. Producers limit the amount of Carignan that they use, to make better quality wine, maxing it out at 40 percent in the rosés and reds. Also, winemakers are experimenting with new techniques too. Some use oak barrels for aging, some are trying temperature controlled tanks for cooler fermenting.\r\n\r\nThe traditional bottle for Provence wines is between an amphora and a bowling pin. When you see one, you know it.\r\n\r\nNow, a really quick review of rosé. The name “rosé” comes from the French word for “pink.”  Makes sense. They are made from dark-skinned, red grapes and the juice is allowed to sit with the skins for a short time. All the color does come from the skins.  (There are two other methods to get pink wines. One, the “saignée,” where some pink juice is pulled out of vats of what will be bolder red wine with less liquid to skins and the pink juice is fermented into mild rosé. And blending, where red wine or grape juice is added to white wine.) Usually for rosés, the time for must and skin contact is one to three days. The shades of rosé range from pale, “onion”- skin orange to light purple.\r\n\r\nHere are some foods that pair well with rosés: Anchovies; Asian food; artichokes; avocado; Brie that’s not too runny; carpaccio, beef and salmon; chicken; couscous; crudités, or raw vegetables; fennel; goat cheese, especially feta; Lebanese food; Moroccan food; olives and olive oil; pink peppercorns; pesto; radishes; rabbit; salmon; satays; spices — coriander, cumin, saffron; sushi; tomatoes; and tuna. Yes, I’m hungry now too!  (Foods that don’t work are cream or butter sauces, red meat, hot curries, strong cheese and winter foods.)\r\n\r\nSo, now, with my stomach growling at me, let’s get to our wine for this week. Our winery is Hecht &amp; Bannier, which was founded in 2002 by Gregory Hecht and François Bannier. These two men decided to produce wines from select Languedoc, Rousiilon and Provence vineyards. Most of their wines are blends of grapes from five to ten different sites. While they maintain their appellations, this blending allows them to achieve unique wines that each show the best of its appellation.\r\n\r\nWe are here for their Côtes de Provence Rosé, a blend of 45 percent Cinsault, 30 percent Grenache and 25 percent Syrah. They chose plots of grapes so that this rosé wine would have charm and minerality, with notes of dried herbs and flowers. They harvest these grapes at night, between 3 a.m. and 9 a.m., so oxidation can be avoided and the fresh characteristics of each vineyard and variety get into the finished wine. They avoid excessive maceration and extraction for the same reason, for freshness in the wine.\r\n\r\nFresh and crisp and zesty are the best words to describe this wine. It glows with summer fruit flavors (raspberries, strawberries, cherries, tangerines) and pairs wonderfully with all kinds of Mediterranean flavors. Each of its three grapes play their part and we get a special expression of Provence. It is definitely more complex than many other rosés.\r\n\r\nAnd, yes, close your eyes and you can smell the lavender fields in your glass. Forever. Available for only $19.99 at Bill’s Liquor on Lady’s Island.

At back: Mike Seymour, Compassionate Beaufort Communities member.[/caption]\r\n\r\nIn May, Compassionate Beaufort Communities sponsored a famous peacemaker from Africa, Prosper Ndabishuriye, to address issues still confronting the people of Burundi and Central Africa. Prosper’s visit was generously hosted as he was invited into several venues to share his stories and experiences about the people he is working to help shelter, feed, clothe and  educate. Many of those he is serving are still suffering the effects of the ethnic wars between Hutu and Tutsi which in 1994-95 raged in Burundi, Rwanda and Eastern Congo resulting in the death over 5 million persons.\r\n\r\nThe Beaufort and Hilton Head area showed its hospitality and compassion and donated over $2,700 to his charity, JRMD (www.jrmd.org), short for a name in French that stands for Youth in Reconstruction of the World in Destruction. Funds raised will go to benefit the more than 450 students at a school that is part of Ihuhira Iwacu Village that will also eventually house orphan boys and girls.\r\n\r\nMore than 200 Beaufort County residents had the chance to meet, listen to, and speak with Prosper directly during his visits to the homes of Mike and Maggie Seymour, Pat Keown, Larry Meisner; St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, St. John’s Lutheran Church, the Unity Church of Bluffton, as well as the Beaufort Public Library.\r\n\r\nThought of by some as a Nelson Mandela of Central Africa, Prosper’s most energetic reception came from over 50 fifth grade students at Beaufort Elementary School who literally swarmed around him after his talk. A sincere thanks to teacher Angie Peterson and other Beaufort Elementary teachers for making this visit possible.\r\n\r\nPerhaps the most poignant part of Prosper’s story, according to many, was when he and his team of young Hutu and Tutsi volunteers first formed their peace mission by showing unity to their countrymen in the form of a willingness to die for their brothers if attacked by militia from an opposing ethnic group. “If you’re going to kill him,” the Hutu volunteer would say to a Hutu soldier about a Tutsi team member, “you have to kill me first.” And, of course, this strategy of standing before the weapons of both Hutu and Tutsi killers proved a most profound and courageous act of compassion that baffled enemy attacks, touched the hearts of Hutu and Tutsi communities and become part of the movement toward reconciliation, forgiveness and peace.\r\n\r\nThere may be some who will say that charity begins at home or we have needs to address right here.  They are right and we need to continue that focus, but again, isn’t it wonderful when our compassion can go beyond our immediate local problems and walk in the shoes of others, especially those who may not even own shoes?\r\n\r\nFor more information about Compassionate Beaufort Communities, visit http://cbc-sc.org.', 'Beaufort: A compassionate city,  and more', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'beaufort-a-compassionate-city-and-more', '', '', '2014-07-10 06:22:42', '2014-07-10 10:22:42', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=17518', 0, 'post', '', 0),

During the 3-D portion of the exam, the c-arm of the mammography machine makes a quick arc over the breast, taking a series of images that a computer forms into a three-dimensional picture.\r\n\r\n“After reviewing the technology, we saw the huge potential it has and were excited we may be able to reduce unneeded procedures,” said Daniel Mock, Beaufort Memorial’s senior director of imaging services. “For example, a skin fold that looks suspicious on traditional mammography can easily be seen on the 3-D tomography image, saving a woman from further diagnostic testing.”\r\n\r\nWith 3-D imaging, radiologists are able to examine the breast tissue one layer at a time. Fine details are clearly visible, allowing doctors to more effectively pinpoint the size, shape and location of any abnormalities. Tomosynthesis is especially beneficial for women with dense breast tissue, which can mask cancers or lead to false positives.\r\n\r\nWhile two-dimensional mammograms are still considered the gold standard for early detection, clinical trials are beginning to demonstrate the benefits of tomosynthesis.\r\n\r\nAccording to a study published last spring in Lancet Oncology, 50 percent more cancers are found using 3-D X-rays combined with conventional 2-D mammography than with the traditional test alone.\r\n\r\nItalian and Australian researchers reported that the combination of the 2-D and 3-D mammograms identified 8.1 cancers per 1,000 screenings, compared with 5.3 per 1,000 using just conventional mammograms — an increase in the cancer detection rate of 53 percent.\r\n\r\nAlthough the radiation dose of the 2-D and 3-D combination is about double that of a conventional screening, it is still below the FDA-regulated limit. For some women, the radiation dose may not necessarily increase with a 3-D mammogram because the exam may help them avoid the radiation from additional diagnostic scans.\r\n\r\nAt the Women’s Imaging Center, a dedicated radiologist is on site to examine both 3-D and 2-D mammograms, providing patients with the results before they leave the center.\r\n\r\nA Breast Imaging Center of Excellence, the Woman’s Imaging Center also offers digital diagnostic mammograms, ultrasounds, bone density scans and stereotactic breast biopsy in a spa-like setting designed with the healing arts in mind.

(17556, 4, '2014-07-10 06:44:55', '2014-07-10 10:44:55', '<b>By Ifetayo White</b>\r\n\r\nThere is a huge movement going on in our country and even in the Lowcountry of folk who have a great faith in their own ability to heal and restore their bodies, minds, psyches, spirits and lives. There are those of us who are everyday living in the faith of an all-knowing power guiding and supporting the “wholeness” of our lives. Learning to trust this guidance and support asks us to take a faith walk — to take one step, then another, then another in faith.\r\n\r\nMy own faith walk in healing began when I was 30 years old and diagnosed with asthma. When the emergency room doctor declared that adult-onset asthma is usually stress related, I could only agree with his suggestion. I knew that I had chosen to remain in a marriage for security with a mate who, because of his own emotional immaturity, was emotionally abusive to me. My life was full of stress and pain. I felt stifled and unable to receive love. Thus, asthma showed up physically and metaphorically.  The first step of recovery was for me to find the courage to end this hopeless marriage.\r\n\r\nIt took three more years of going through the fears of not being capable of supporting myself and my daughters before I could ask for a separation.\r\n\r\nFor years my asthmatic condition was stabilized through the use of an atomizer and infrequent trips to the ER for adrenaline shots. In addition, my allergies to animals grew and it was more and more difficult to visit friends who lived with pets.  It became my prayer that I not live the rest of my life having such difficulties breathing.  Then things began to happen.\r\n\r\nA high school friend who had begun practicing meditation in the mid-70s suggested that meditation may help my stress and anxiety.  At this point, I was so anxious raising my daughters and working in a stressful environment at the U.S. House of Representatives in Washington, D.C., that my friend’s suggestion was received wholeheartedly. Committing to a practice of meditating for 20 minutes twice a day seemed daunting at the time, but like someone who makes a last ditch effort for life, I went for it.\r\n\r\nWhen it appeared to me after a short while that I was making no progress, my friend encouraged me to not give up the consistency of the practice.  I continued in faith that something was happening.\r\n\r\nWithin the community of meditators in D.C., I met a woman who proposed to me that perhaps eliminating mucous-forming red meat from my diet might help my breathing. So, feeling I had nothing to lose, I eliminated beef from my diet.  From nowhere I began to feel the urge to stop eating pork and chicken and fish and, my favorite, turkey. Within two years, my asthma and allergies had disappeared from my body.  It has been almost 30 years since I experienced the empowerment of this life-changing healing. Even though I am no longer a vegetarian, meditation is still the foundation of my own wellness practices.\r\n\r\nWhen we are ready, the teacher will appear. When we are ready, we will be led where to go next and what to do next.  During that time of need for healing, and during the many times of need for healing or renewal of my body, mind, emotions, relationships, finances or spirit, my intention or prayer for healing led me to what or who I needed.\r\n\r\nFaith in a higher intelligence as energy flowing through me and my life and all of life has paved the path for me.  Know that this same intelligence is acting in and for you and your well being as well.  Listen to your inner guidance and follow — in faith.\r\n\r\n<i>Ifetayo White has been a holistic healing practitioner since 1989.

Talbert, FACHE, CEO of Coastal.  “We have been preparing for the arrival of a new baby since we announced last summer that we would once again offer maternity services at the hospital.”\r\n\r\nNews of their status caught the Blocks by surprise. “It’s pretty cool,” said Sgt. Joshua Block, a Parris Island drill instructor.\r\n\r\n“We knew this part of the hospital was brand new, but we didn’t think we would be the first ones,” Mrs. Block said. The couple said they decided to go to the hospital where their provider would be delivering.  Mrs. Block, a fulltime mom, and her husband, arrived at the hospital at 3:20 a.m. on July 2 and two hours later had a new addition to their family. The couple also has a 2-year-old son, Aiden.\r\n\r\nThey said the experience at Coastal has been excellent, especially the care provided by the nursing staff. “They have all been really great and willing to help us,” Mrs. Block said.\r\n\r\nAs parents of the first baby to born at the hospital in eight years, hospital administrators presented the couple with gifts donated by area businesses and organizations. Among them were a gift basket from the Auxiliary at Coastal Carolina Hospital, the hospital’s volunteer organization; a gift basket from M.J. Harris Construction, the firm that led the renovation project; a two-night stay at Fairfield Inn &amp; Suites by Marriott in Bluffton; a photo package from Bella Baby Photography; a photo frame from the hospital, as well as a car seat, blanket and bib from New River Auto Mall.\r\n\r\nThe hospital broke ground for the renovation of the 15,600-square-foot unit in February. Renovation work on the unit took nearly five months.

The accreditation is good for a term of three years.\r\n\r\nPresented by the American College of Radiology (ACR), the prestigious designation represents the highest level of image quality and patient safety. It is awarded only to facilities meeting the national organization’s practice guidelines and technical standards.\r\n\r\nAs part of the re-accreditation process, a panel of board-certified physicians and physicists conducted a thorough assessment of the BMH Imaging Center and reported the findings to the ACR Committee on Accreditation. The evaluation included image quality, personnel qualifications, adequacy of facility equipment, quality control procedures and quality assurance programs.\r\n\r\n“This accreditation reflects Beaufort Memorial Hospital’s continued commitment to providing the highest quality of care here in the Lowcountry,” BMH Advanced Imaging Supervisor Matthew Hurtt said.\r\n\r\nThe nonprofit hospital offers a wide range of screening and diagnostic services, including MRI and CT scans and advanced 3-D tomosynthesis screening mammography. The Outpatient Imaging Center is located on the first floor of Beaufort Medical Plaza, providing a convenient and comfortable setting for outpatient testing.\r\n\r\nLast year, the ACR designated Beaufort Memorial’s Women’s Imaging Center a Breast Imaging Center of Excellence. To earn the accreditation, you have to go above and beyond the mandated mammography certification and achieve accreditation in stereotactic breast biopsy, breast ultrasound and ultrasound-guided breast biopsy.\r\n\r\nThe hospital went through the rigorous application process voluntarily to ensure patients are receiving the best care from screening to diagnosis.\r\n\r\nFor more information on Beaufort Memorial Hospital’s imaging services or to schedule appointments in Beaufort or Bluffton call 843-522-5144 or visit www.bmhsc.org.\r\n\r\nThe ACR is a national professional organization serving more than 34,000 diagnostic/interventional radiologists, radiation oncologists, nuclear medicine physicians and medical physicists with programs focusing on the practice of medical imaging and radiation oncology and the delivery of comprehensive health care services.\r\n<div></div>', 'BMH Imaging Services Department receives ACR accreditation', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'bmh-imaging-services-department-receives-acr-accreditation', '', '', '2014-07-10 06:47:53', '2014-07-10 10:47:53', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=17563', 0, 'post', '', 0),

The new agriscience certificate program will provide students with fundamental knowledge in this rapidly growing field and prepare students to enter and advance in occupations in farming, landscaping, and golf course and pest management industries.\r\n\r\n“We hope that people who work locally will continue their education in the agriscience program to receive higher positions in their current jobs, form their own businesses or even change their careers,” instructor Dr. Natavia Middleton said.\r\n\r\nThe program requires 29 credit hours and emphasizes three separate occupational areas: diversified agriculture production, landscape occupations and turf occupations. An internship in their chosen pathway will also be required to give students additional hands-on experience.\r\n\r\nArea employers agree that the agriscience certificate is needed. Jerry Ashmore, Director of Workforce Development and Safety at The Greenery, serves on the TCL advisory committee that helped shape the program.\r\n\r\n“I know the value of an education and appreciate this program as it gives students real-life experience as well as a solid foundation and enables them to grow in their careers,” Ashmore said. “We hope to offer folks careers after completion of the program.”\r\n\r\nAgriculture is very strong in the Lowcountry as well as in the state of South Carolina. “The industry provides jobs to thousands of folks locally, from landscape contractors, golf courses to farmers,” he said.\r\n\r\nThe agriscience program also will benefit existing workers who are looking to advance in their careers. “The program will give them the opportunity to strengthen their skills, broaden their knowledge and enhance their professionalism, making them more valuable to their employer and give them the opportunity to grow in their career,” Ashmore said.\r\n\r\nTCL has campuses in Beaufort, Bluffton and Hampton. And with S.C. Lottery Tuition Assistance, South Carolina residents pay about $850 a semester for full-time tuition, regardless of need or income. In addition, TCL offers in-state tuition to military members and their spouses who are stationed in Beaufort and to residents of Chatham and Effingham counties in Georgia.\r\n\r\nRegistration for the fall semester ends August 15, and classes start August 21.

Witzel’s art has been influenced by the eccentric life he has led. He has survived a ship sinking while working as a scuba diver in the Caribbean, and the Georgetown Front Street fire of 2013, where he lost his home, art business, and beloved dog in the flames. Starting over from scratch in 2014, Witzel has come back with a splash continuing to produce rich scenes and art that inspires.\r\n\r\nWitzel uses his passion to create lasting, impressionable images of the beauty he experiences in the natural world. The textures, vibrant colors and flow of the shapes reflected in his whimsical art are inspired from his love of everything nature, keeping in touch with the shabby chic essence of the beach. Witzel is known for his signature wet, glossy finish which diffuses light, allowing the eye to see more color, adding an extra dimension to his art that brings it to life.\r\n\r\nCreative all of his life, Witzel started selling his art to the public in 2010. Since then, his career as an artist has grown rapidly and his art is represented along the coast of South Carolina. In 2012, he won the Florence Art International Competition with his painting, Octopi-Hi, and was also chosen as the featured artist of the 2012 Pawleys Island Festival of Music and Art for his acrylic painting Marsh March.\r\n\r\nWitzel is a strong supporter of the community and helps raise money for charitable organizations, usually holding his own event once a year where he takes a special interest in supporting the development of the youth in arts.\r\n\r\nSupport the arts and stop in to see Witzel Art this month at Thibault Gallery on Bay Street.\r\n<div></div>', 'Thibault Gallery features July artist of the month: John Witzel Walters', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'thibault-gallery-features-july-artist-of-the-month-john-witzel-walters', '', '', '2014-07-10 07:02:43', '2014-07-10 11:02:43', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=17583', 0, 'post', '', 0),

(17586, 4, '2014-07-10 07:03:34', '2014-07-10 11:03:34', '<b>By Julia Stewart Corner</b>\r\n\r\nAs I face retirement, I want to share with you what these last three years at Beaufort Academy (BA) have meant to me.  As you may know, I came on board at BA in August, 2011, when the school had just faced the unexpected and tragic loss of one of the finest educators in Beaufort County, Dr. Randy Wall. Coming from a background in secondary and post-secondary educational management, I had never worked in the independent school field.  But hey, I was a long-time educator, so I jumped in with both feet. And maybe even more importantly, I did not drown.\r\n\r\nWhen asked what it is that I love about this job, this school, and this community, the list is long.  Here are just a few of the many thoughts I would love to share:\r\n\r\n1. First, I love the mission of Beaufort Academy because it matters. There are few causes as noble as preparing children for their future, which in our case involves college as the first step.  We prepare the students well, and it takes a village to make it happen.  Everyone on campus knows the mission, and lives it every day.\r\n\r\n2. Core values cement a child’s ethical make up for all of their life.  The BA core values — pride, leadership, respect, integrity, and intellect — permeate this campus. From the 3-year-olds to the 18-year-olds, we remind our precious students every day how their actions and decisions need to support these values.\r\n\r\n3. Faculty members make a school. Yes, administration supports them, but the rubber meets the road with strong, dedicated faculty. The BA faculty are gifted, devoted, and go the extra mile every day. They know each student’s strengths and challenges, and find ways to reach and challenge every student, every day.  The commitment the faculty makes to the students is visible from early, early morning to late in the day.\r\n\r\n4. A school has four vital components: students, parents, staff (including faculty), and the Board of Trustees. If they are in concert, working towards the same goals, a school flourishes. We have this quad in place and that is one of the reasons our “eagles” soar.\r\n\r\n5. Technology supports education, but there is no substitute for a creative teacher. At BA, there are iPads, mini-Macs, computers, and promethean boards all over the place, and the teachers have the incredible job of making it all come together, and making it fun. The wonders of technology never cease to amaze me, but what teachers do with it makes all the difference.\r\n\r\n6. The greatest gift a parent can give a child is a solid education to build upon throughout their life.  Education is one thing that can never be taken away from you. I admire the diverse group of committed parents who bring their children to Beaufort Academy.  Every family here is contributing to the future of their child.  I am also very pleased that the BA Board of Trustees builds financial assistance dollars into our annual budget, currently contributing the education of one-third of the students at BA. Our hope is that if BA is the right place for a child, than finances should not stand in the way.\r\n\r\n7. The Beaufort area has been served by BA graduates for almost 50 years. I meet people all the time who tell me they went to BA, their parents went here, their neighbors, etc. Upon graduation they went away to college, and many came back to raise their families here in Beaufort. What a wonderful testament to the beauty and safety of this community.  We are all one big family, and in this day and age of the focus on safety, this is a magnificent thing.\r\n\r\n8. Finally, I love the wonderful people I have met throughout these three years at BA — students,  alumni, parents of alumni, administrators, former teachers, potential parents who are waiting until their children are old enough to enter, students from all over the world who want to come to BA, and business leaders who support our endeavors.  Everyone has been so welcoming, so friendly, and so much a part of the fabric of BA.  I have been truly blessed by this opportunity.\r\n\r\nThank you for allowing me to share these parting thoughts with you. It has been a privilege and an honor to be here at BA. Now, the school is on to a new chapter with fabulous leadership and vision under Stephen Schools, who began his tenure July 1. Please stop by and meet him, I know you will be impressed!\r\n\r\n<i>Editor’s Note: This column originally ran in the June newsletter of the Lady’s Island Business Professionals Association.</i>', 'Why I love Beaufort Academy', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'why-i-love-beaufort-academy', '', '', '2014-07-10 07:03:34', '2014-07-10 11:03:34', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=17586', 0, 'post', '', 0),

It’s important that patients understand that only physicians who are on the Beaufort Memorial medical staff are able to deliver at our Birthing Center, which includes physicians who are associated with Beaufort Memorial Obstetrics &amp; Gynecology Specialists and Beaufort Jasper Hampton Comprehensive Health Services.\r\n\r\nIf you find yourself in an emergency situation and need to come to Beaufort Memorial for care, a member of our medical staff will handle your emergency and deliver your baby, if necessary. Please be assured that we will take care of you regardless of who is the attending OB-GYN, and will reach out to your own OB-GYN to coordinate the best care possible for you and your baby.\r\n\r\nEarlier this year, the hospital opened its own OB-GYN practice in order to ensure birthing services will always be available close to home. Our four board-certified, fellowship-trained OB-GYNs are delivering babies exclusively at the BMH Birthing Center.\r\n\r\nThe Birthing Center at Beaufort Memorial remains committed to providing quality obstetrical care and birthing services while continuing the hospital’s 70-year tradition of delivering babies right here in our community.\r\n\r\nTo learn which physicians are members of our medical staff, visit our website at www.beaufortmemorial.org or call the Physician Referral line at 522-5585. If you would like to visit the BMH Birthing Center free tours are held on the first and third Mondays of the month from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Check in at the Birthing Center lobby to begin your tour.\r\n\r\nWe hope this information is helpful to you and your families. On behalf of our entire staff we look forward to being a part of one of the most important moments in any family’s life.\r\n\r\n<i>Richard K.

Chambers Waterfront Park from 6 to 9 p.m.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/F35-B-logo.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-17604\" alt=\"F35-B logo\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/F35-B-logo-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" /></a>The focus of the event is on Marines and families of Marine Fight Attack Training Squadron (VMFAT)-501. The approximately 180 Marines in the squadron have spent the past two years at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida developing the standard operating procedures that will herald the new F-35B Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter into the Marine Corps.\r\n\r\nThe celebration will include jump castles for kids, refreshments, corn hole toss with prizes, Tux the clown, entertainment, music by the Parris Island Marine band, a patriotic ceremony and will be topped off with fireworks. It is sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce in partnership with the Military Enhancement Committee, the Military Affairs Committee and the city of Beaufort.\r\n\r\n“The chamber and the community were instrumental in recruitment of the F-35B beginning back in 2008 and 2009,” noted Blakely Williams, president and CEO of the Beaufort Chamber of Commerce. “So it is appropriate that we include the community in the celebration because it is all their work coming to fruition. The intent is for the community to come out and welcome the Marines and their families to their new home.”\r\n\r\nThe squadron Marines will officially plant their command’s flag earlier in the day during an invitation-only ceremony at Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort.\r\n\r\n“July 11, 2014, marks the homecoming of Marine Fighter Attack Training Squadron 501 to the Lowcountry, after spending a couple years located at Eglin Air Force Base,” said Colonel Peter Buck, Commanding Officer of Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort.\r\n\r\nHe added, “The squadron assumed the lineage of MCAS Beaufort’s VMFA-451 ‘Warlords,’ which saw action during World War II and Operation Desert Storm. The squadron was decommissioned on January 31, 1997 and reactivated as VMFAT-501 in 2010. I am extremely proud of the accomplishments of our team here that enabled us to be ready for operations January 1 of this year. Of those accomplishments — a Pilot Training Center to train Marine Corps aviators, a beautiful hangar for squadron aircraft and personnel, vertical landing pads, a vertical landing deck and numerous security upgrades to support the Joint Strike Fighter. All of these developments will make Beaufort the home of F-35B training in the Marine Corps.”\r\n\r\nCol. Buck also commented on the community support that enabled this homecoming.\r\n\r\n“I am equally proud to be a member of this incredible community. We have a strong relationship with Beaufort and the surrounding communities that has existed for over 71 years. From our roots of training for anti-submarine patrols during World War II to now as we welcome this squadron that’s responsible for flying the nation’s fifth-generation, dominant aircraft, we’re fortunate to have the support of what we consider to be one of the most military-friendly communities in the nation. Friday we have invited community leaders to join us at the air station in celebrating this historic moment. Additionally, all of us here are very happy to see that the community will be continuing that outstanding support by hosting a homecoming event to help us welcome our VMFAT-501 brothers and sisters home the evening of July 11, in downtown Beaufort at the Waterfront Park.”\r\n\r\nIt took many years of hard work, networking and nose-to-the-grindstone influence to bring the F-35B and the Pilot Training Center to Beaufort.\r\n\r\nThe 103,000-square-foot training center is established to conduct all academic and simulator pilot training for F35B STOVL (short take-off and vertical landing) Marines and foreign partners who have bought into the program, which includes Britain and Italy.\r\n\r\n“This will be the center for STOVL training,” asserted the officer in charge of the center, Lieutenant Colonel Luis E. Villalobos.  “It is the only facility like it in the Marine Corps and the only location where we will have the fleet replacement squadron when VMFAT (Marine Fighter Attack Training Squadron)-501 gets here.”\r\n\r\nA fleet replacement squadron is responsible for preparing pilots for service in the operating forces.  Beaufort is slated to eventually receive at least two training squadrons and two operational squadrons.\r\n\r\nThe Marine Corps F-35B variant will eventually replace and perform the roles of three “Legacy” aircraft: the F/A-18 Hornet, AV-8B Harrier II and EA-6B Prowler.  The F-35B is the only Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter variant that features STOVL capabilities.  The “A” variant is for the Air Force and the “C” model for the Navy.\r\n\r\nMarine Corps pilots currently flying these three Legacy aircraft have begun transition training to the F-35 and the only place in the Corps for this training will be Beaufort.\r\n\r\n“Between June and September we are scheduled to have all the VMFAT-501 aircraft and squadron personnel relocating, and in October we’ll start training,” stated Villalobos, who is a Harrier pilot.\r\n\r\nOne of the men who has been closely involved for many years in the effort to bring the F-35 home to Beaufort is local retired businessman Jimmy Boozer, chairman of Beaufort’s Military Affairs Committee and member of the Military Enhancement Committee (MEC).\r\n\r\nThe MEC works at the state and federal level to encourage protection and enhancement of all three military installations in the Beaufort area. The Military Affairs Committee supports the activities that protect and enhance the military installations in Beaufort County and improve the quality of life for military families in the region.\r\n\r\n“We feel that this event is our way of showing appreciation for what Marines and their families do for this community,” Boozer said, adding that businesses in the downtown Beaufort area agreed to extend their business hours for this event and offer “F-35 discounts” to celebrate the occasion.\r\n\r\n“We have had a great response of in-kind donations from local businesses and organizations all wanting to be part of this,” Boozer noted.  “The downtown Art Walk organizers adjusted their schedule so they could be involved, and we even have the Sun City Veterans Group coming to carry the colors.”\r\n\r\nThe night will culminate at dark with fireworks fired from a barge anchored in the Beaufort River near the Waterfront Park.\r\n<div></div>', 'Community welcomes F-35B squadron Marines', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'community-welcomes-f-35b-squadron-marines', '', '', '2014-07-10 07:22:38', '2014-07-10 11:22:38', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=17603', 0, 'post', '', 0),

This time, though, he is headlining the show, so that he can introduce the talents of “two really great guys that I play with up in Charleston.” Like many of Frank’s friends, those two guys also happen to have long musical careers that include work with some household names.\r\n\r\nEd Hunnicutt has written songs for country luminaries such as Willie Nelson, Brooks &amp; Dunn and The Oak Ridge Boys and he says that his style is influenced by Kris Kristofferson, Hank Williams and James Taylor. Although Ed lives and works in South Carolina, he travels to Nashville frequently. He says, “It wasn’t until I went to Nashville that I understood what separated good songs from great songs. Through several mentors, I learned how to say the same things that have been said over and over in a way that they haven’t been said yet.”\r\n\r\nThe third member of the group, David Owens, hails from Folly Beach, SC. He best sums up his life as a performer in the lyrics from his original song “Live Like This”: “I’ve traveled many a bumpy road and a dusty mile, and it’s a sight for these sore eyes to see that sweet southern smile.”\r\n\r\nDavid’s 30-year music career, playing at festivals and venues has taken him across the U.S. and back, however his creative home and inspiration is the Lowcountry of South Carolina.\r\n\r\nAlthough David’s bread and butter is as a live performer, like Ed he has had a brush with the show business world. As the story goes, David met Mike Rowe, the TV host of “Dirty Jobs” in 2007 when he was in South Carolina filming an episode on shrimping and oystering. One night after filming was over, David says, “they sat on Folly Creek, after a night of oysters and drinking,” jotted down some lyrics and the “official, unofficial Dirty Jobs theme song” was born.\r\n\r\nMore like a back porch get together with friends than a concert, at this event you can likely expect these three performers to “swap stories and songs, tell tall tales, and generally cut up” onstage, according to Big Frank.\r\n\r\nSongwriters in the Round will take place at ARTworks in Beaufort Town Center, 2127 Boundary Street. Tickets are $17 for adults, $12 for students (ages 13+), $7 for children (ages 12 and under), $12 for groups of ten or more. Tickets can be purchased online from artworksinbeaufort.com or by calling 843-379-2787.\r\n<div></div>', 'Southern Songwriter Series returns to Beaufort', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'southern-songwriter-series-returns-to-beaufort', '', '', '2014-07-13 15:22:48', '2014-07-13 19:22:48', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=17615', 0, 'post', '', 1),

This year’s commodore is Brandy Gray, a fifth generation Port Royal native, (daughter of William and Peggy Buquet), who has been a committed Water Festival volunteer since she began as a Pirette in high school in 1989.  She’s the fourth female to become commodore in the 59 year history of the event, which first was held as a sailing regatta and water ski show in 1956.\r\n\r\nToday’s Water Festival stretches over two weekends starting next weekend and includes major musical acts over multiple nights and a myriad of events for all ages and abilities including fireworks, an air show and a parade. (For a full listing of all the great happenings, check out The Island News next week, which will be dedicated to the Water Festival.)\r\n\r\nCommodore Gray credits her family and the volunteers for helping make it all happen.  Says Brandy, “Our amazing group of volunteers are the backbone of our festival. They are the hard-working, passionate crew that we call our Water Festival Family!”\r\n\r\nAnd when it comes to her husband Mickey, she says, “He is the reason I am able to do so many great things in our community. His support is unwavering. Our daughter has also been right there beside us during this journey.”\r\n\r\nBrandy’s been happily married for 16 years to her husband Mickey Gray, who also grew up in Beaufort. Says Brandy, “I met my husband playing coed softball and I never thought in a million years that I would fall so quickly in love.”\r\n\r\nMickey, who retired from the state of South Carolina, now enjoys being a stay-at-home dad for their beloved daughter, Emma La’claire, age 6, who starts first grade at Riverview Charter School this August.\r\n\r\nCommodore Gray is pleased with some of the innovations that the 59th Water Festival brings this year for attendees.\r\n\r\nSays Brandy, “This year we have a new free downloadable app for your iPhone and Android that will allow you to buy tickets online for all events and give you all the venues and event times, plus a Google interactive map for their locations that you can forward to your phone or computer.  You will also be able to buy tickets online at the Beaufort Water Festival website.”\r\n\r\nAlso new this year, in order to ease parking problems, there will be a free shuttle service running every 15 minutes, starting Friday, July 17, from 5 p.m. to midnight, from the parking lot of Beaufort Town Center in front of ARTworks and also the parking lot of the County Government Center on the corner of Ribaut Road and Boundary Street that will take people to the Downtown Marina parking lot next to the Waterfront Park.\r\n\r\nBrandy said she loves the Water Festival parade, which will start at 10 a.m. on Saturday, July 26, and is pleased that noted novelist Pat Conroy will be this year’s Grand Marshall. She is also excited that a full day will be devoted to the Dragon Boat races on that same day, Saturday, July 26, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.\r\n\r\nBesides volunteering with the Water Festival, Brandy’s also been involved with many nonprofits such as United Way, CAPA, Friends of Caroline Hospice, Zonta Club of Beaufort and Beaufort Charities. She is able to do all this while also doing an excellent job as  sales manager for the Holiday Inn Express in Bluffton, where she works with groups, tour operators, wedding planners and corporate clients to provide lodging.\r\n\r\nBrandy said, “Let me take a moment to thank all of our wonderful sponsors and volunteers. We are a unique group as we are all volunteer driven and have no paid staff. We host one of the longest running festivals in the county and state and are extremely proud of our history. This is such a memorable time for me as I am a second generation commodore and the first Pirette ever to become commodore. This truly makes it a family affair and I am proud of our legacy.”\r\n\r\nAs for the future, Brandy hopes Beaufortonians will attend as many of the wonderful events over the 10 day period as they can. Money raised will go to more than 20 charities and provide scholarships for local students to attend USCB.\r\n\r\nFor more information about free events, music nights, activities, and tickets, go online to bftwaterfestival.com.', 'Meet Brandy Gray: 59th Commodore of the Beaufort Water Festival', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'meet-brandy-gray-59th-commodore-of-the-beaufort-water-festival', '', '', '2014-07-13 16:24:14', '2014-07-13 20:24:14', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=17618', 0, 'post', '', 0),

(18222, 4, '2014-08-14 11:19:18', '2014-08-14 15:19:18', '<b>By Tracie Korol</b>\r\n\r\nAs summer settles in and the rains come every afternoon, the biting-sucking insects seem to become more prevalent, fierce and relentless. I have never been a fan of industrial, aerosol neurotoxins for me or for my dog friends. They smell funky, taste terrible if you happen to inhale while spraying, and the warning labels give me the willies.\r\n\r\nInstead, I mix up my own essential oil spray, the main ingredient being Neem.\r\n\r\nNeem is all-natural, nontoxic ammunition that stops molesting mosquitoes and ticks in their tracks. It’s the single most important thing you can keep on hand all summer, for your dog’s well-being and your own.\r\n\r\nNeem, botanical name <i>Azadirachta indica</i>, is a slow-growing evergreen tree in the mahogany family that has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for 5,000 years. Neem is native to southern India and northern Myanmar and is cultivated worldwide. The Sanskrit word for neem is <i>nimba</i>, meaning <i>good health</i>.\r\n\r\nAncient Sanskrit writings mention neem as veterinary treatment to be administered in feed or applied as liniments, oils, powders or liquids, using all parts of the plant.\r\n\r\nWestern medicine and technology ignored neem until 1928, when two Indian scientists published a report of neem used as a pesticide during a locust infestation. That same year, colonial administrators introduced the neem tree to Nigeria from Ghana, where neem was planted beginning in 1917. Neem was planted in Sudan for wood, firewood, shade and oil for lamps in 1916. By the 1960s, neem plantations were thriving in Africa and neem pesticides were studied for Western agriculture. In 1992, W.R. Grace, a chemical corporation based in Florida, was granted a U.S. patent for Neemix, a neem-based pesticide stabilized by a proprietary process.\r\n\r\nSo, it’s legit. You can find neem, in it’s pure form — which is what you want for you and your dog — in those upscale grocery emporiums and locally at Terra Cotta. Through the summer months, I keep a spray bottle of my neem-based concoction on the kitchen windowsill to arm my dog friends and myself against the mosquito menace.  (My current bug juice recipe includes neem, citronella, lemon-eucalyptus and a dash of peppermint in a neutral carrier oil.) Neem is a biopesticide applied topically, it repels mosquitoes (and fleas, too), it also kills them — naturally. It has absolutely no harmful side effects. To protect my dog friends, I dab spots on top of their heads, behind their ears, on their shoulders and flanks, and on their tails. During mosquito season, I do this every two to three days. I also suggest to their owners one capsule of neem “supercritical extract” supplement, mixed with their food twice weekly, to arm them from the inside out. I take the capsules, too and also spray on exposed skin, on each wrist, behind my knees, and on my knee pits (a popular mosquito target) when I go for walks.\r\n\r\nNow, if you are in the company of folks who prefer their dogs to smell like hyacinths or “spring rain” or any other synthetic, artificial smell, then neem’s aroma may be a bit of a challenge. To me, it smells like mild roasted garlic, not at all offensive in light of its efficacy at bug management. It’s aroma can be mitigated with other, lighter, equally insect-repelling essential oils — rose geranium, peppermint, citronella, eucalyptus, palmarosa.  You can mix up your own personal blend.  A good double-whammy mixer, <i>Opopanax myrrh</i>, the myrrh of ancient Egypt (also available at Terra Cotta) has been shown to repel adults of the African brown ear, deer tick, black-footed, lone star and the good old American dog tick.\r\n\r\nIf you have a green thumb, know that neem is also prized by horticulturists for its efficacy at keeping pests away from prized plantings, so there’s no need to use poison in the garden, either!\r\n<div></div>', 'Beating the bugs, naturally', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'beating-the-bugs-naturally', '', '', '2014-08-14 11:19:18', '2014-08-14 15:19:18', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=18222', 0, 'post', '', 0),

(Source: my son, the chef.)\r\n\r\nRecently, the FDA announced new guidelines for feeding our pets: Do not feed raw food because of the risk of <i>Salmonella</i>.  But why just raw food? Why not kibbles that are recalled every week? <i>Salmonella</i> lives just about everywhere and has adapted well to diverse environments, can survive for weeks in water and years in the soil.  It thrives when conditions of humidity, temperature and pH are favorable in areas like sitting water, wet soil shielded from the sun, and unclean fecal contaminated areas.\r\n\r\nIts principal habitat is the intestinal tract of humans and animals. Dogs generally have low stomach pH and shorter GI tracts than humans meaning their stomach acid makes it harder for Salmonella to make it all the way through.  That’s why our people friends complain about having “stomach flu” for a day or so while our dog friends do not.  Most likely a dirty lemon. There has been no known reported incidence of human beings being infected with <i>Salmonella</i> by raw-fed cats and dogs.\r\n\r\n<i>Salmonella</i> can be found in up to 36% of all healthy dogs regardless of the food they consume. Many pets harbor these bacteria as a part of their normal GI flora and naturally shed <i>Salmonella</i> organisms in feces and saliva regardless of what food they eat. If a body’s immune system is sound, bad bacteria are typically kept in check by the good flora of the intestines.\r\n\r\nAs you know, I am a proponent for feeding dogs real food as much as it is financially feasible. And as you know, I think kibble, even the best, is still fast food processed from creamed mysterious body parts, chemicals and unpronounceable additives in factories that may or may not have good cleaning crews that then sits in bags for undisclosed periods of time in un-refrigerated warehouses. Even more unappealing than dirty lemons.\r\n\r\nIf you are a reasonably tidy sort and you personally manage what foods go into your family — and your dog is family, too — then you can be fairly content knowing that <i>Salmonella</i> is probably not going to be an issue. If your food came from a reputable source (hopefully, a local farm), if you handle it properly and prepare it well, whether you choose to feed raw or choose to cook for your Best Friend, you should not be faced with the symptoms. But kibble is currently the prime culprit in pet-related <i>Salmonella</i> outbreaks, not real food. Check out the FDA’s own website (FDA.gov) for a list of processed pet foods currently under recall for <i>Salmonella</i>, among other nasties. New recalls are added every day.\r\n\r\nSo why is the FDA picking on raw foods? Because there’s no lobby for real food. Because there’s a lot of money backing commercially prepared foods. For instance, the Associated Press reported that Schering-Plough Corp. spent half a million dollars in the third quarter of 2008 to lobby on veterinary products, drug pricing and food-based issues. One lobby group spent $500,000 in three months? Just imagine how much money is spent in total by Big Ag and Big Pharm lobbyists alone.  After all, the APPA (American Pet Products Association) projects $58.51 billion will be spent on US pets in 2014.  It’s a huge and growing market.  Everyone wants a bit of that Big Money.\r\n\r\nBut what about your Best Friend?  Feed raw if you think it will make your pet happier and healthier.  Just be smart, that’s all.\r\n\r\n• Store raw food in the freezer and thaw in the refrigerator;\r\n\r\n• Store kibble in a sealed container out of reach of children;\r\n\r\n• Don’t allow children to handle the dog’s food. If they do, make sure they wash their hands afterward;\r\n\r\n• Properly wash hands, all bowls, utensils and contact surfaces after handling the dog’s food (kibble or raw);\r\n\r\n• Limit time raw food is held at room temperature during feeding to less than 2 hours and dispose of food left out for periods longer than this;\r\n\r\n• Pick up your dog’s poop and always wash your hands with soap and warm water afterward.', 'Salmonella: Pathogen of politics', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'salmonella-pathogen-of-politics', '', '', '2014-07-17 09:22:28', '2014-07-17 13:22:28', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=17709', 0, 'post', '', 0),

(17713, 4, '2014-07-17 10:07:18', '2014-07-17 14:07:18', '<b>By Celia Strong</b>\r\n\r\nOur wine this week will take us half way around the world, half way down into the Southern Hemisphere. Made from a husband and wife team, The Better Half is wholly enjoyable, and there is a whole lot to learn about this Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand.\r\n\r\nIn this country that neighbors Australia, the wines of any given vintage are six months older than California wines from the same vintage — so they are six months older than any Northern Hemisphere wine. They harvest in March while we harvest in September and October.\r\n\r\nThe very first vineyard in New Zealand was established by the Catholic Church, in 1851, in Hawkes Bay on the North Island. The growth of the wine industry in New Zealand was slow because they had more emphasis on protein and dairy products for many years. It was not until the 1960’s and 1970’s, with trade regulations changing when Britain entered the European Economic Community, that New Zealanders could opt for more profitable products like wine.\r\n\r\nI know we’ve heard this before, but I for one only remember it occasionally, like when we do another New Zealand wine. The 1960’s also saw the end of the “six o’clock swill.”  Pubs went from being open for only one hour after a work day to more hours. And, restaurants started letting customers bring in their own bottles of wine for dinner. And, young New Zealanders, having traveled outside their own country, learned to like wine and thought it worth making a part of their lives when they returned home. Talk about lifestyle changes.\r\n\r\nWith all of this, the 1970’s saw the first vintage wine produced in New Zealand. The first Sauvignon Blanc, the core of their wine industry, was made in 1977. In the 1980’s, wineries, mostly in Marlborough on the northern end of the South Island of New Zealand, started making Sauvignon Blancs that were highly touted. New Zealand Sauvignon took over as the “best in the world.”\r\n\r\nMost of the vineyards of New Zealand have soil that is alluvial. This is based on local sandstone (sandy soil over slate shingles) — it drains well and is not overly fertile so the vines are forced to “work.” Surrounded by water, the climate is maritime — cooler summers, mild winters (all six months off from ours), and cool nights even in the hottest summers. All this comes together in a long growing season and consistently grows grapes that have high acidity.  On the South Island, no vineyard is more than 80 miles from the coast.\r\n\r\nNow, when it comes to Sauvignon Blanc, wine drinkers either like this grape or they don’t. And, of those who do like it, they either like or don’t like New Zealand style Sauvignon Blanc.  This is the widely planted variety in New Zealand. This grape is known for its refreshing, fruity acidity. Although, if it is picked too late, it loses both its acidity and its leafy pungency.\r\n\r\nMost Sauvignon Blanc is fermented at low temperatures in stainless steel tanks to preserve its youthful fruitiness. And most Sauvignon Blancs are drunk younger, again, because they taste fresher with their acidity at full force.\r\n\r\nThe most classical European Sauvignon Blancs come from France’s Loire Valley, Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé, with less expensive but still good versions coming from other towns in the middle of the valley. These wines have more minerality, a major distinction when compared to New Zealand’s. In Bordeaux, Sauvignon Blanc is often blended with Semillon, and sometimes some Muscadelle. In the United States, meaning mostly California, many vineyards are too warm for Sauvignon Blanc. But necessity is the mother of adapting, and California has developed its own style for this variety that is more full-bodied, slightly sweet-ish, often oaked, and sometimes called Fumé Blanc.\r\n\r\nIn New Zealand, wines from Sauvignon Blanc are extravagantly forceful, with a fruity style. Marlborough is the benchmark; these wines have bold flavors. And, get this, some scientists think the development of these distinctive flavors are encouraged by the holes in the ozone layer in that part of the world. Vigorous Sauvignon Blanc vines do very well in dry, gravelly vineyards. Some growers, to enhance different characteristics in their grapes, harvest them at different intervals. At their most unripe, the grapes are high in malic acid — the biting acid of a Granny Smith apple. A bit more ripe and the grapes tend to red and green bell pepper flavors, and more balanced sugars. In Marlborough vineyards, different tracts of grapes are always ripening at different speeds. Blending all the grapes together gives the wines their distinct flavor profile. Citrus, including grapefruit and lime, guava, black currant, green grass, tart apple are all typical New Zealand flavors.\r\n\r\nMost winemakers in New Zealand prefer to ferment their grapes in stainless steel to maintain the sharp focus and flavor intensity in their wines.\r\n\r\nThis week’s wine is called The Better Half Sauvignon Blanc. Is that a great name or what? There is a good reason for the name that came from winemaker, and instigator, George Elworthy. George worked as a winemaker for many years but he got tired of it and sort of quit. His wife, Jules Taylor, is a well-known winemaker. She is a Marlborough girl who makes superb Sauvignon Blancs on her own. George got talked into making wine again, though, and decided to call his the Better Half — because he believes he is Jules’ better half.\r\n\r\nHis Sauvignon Blanc has aromas of lime, melon and guava along with black currant and gooseberries. The flavors are tropical with citrus notes, guava and melon, all with a backbone of linear acidity — that’s how George describes the wine.\r\n\r\nLike most New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs, the Better Half goes well with shellfish; seafood; goat cheeses, especially Feta; herbs such as thyme, basil, tarragon, parsley; most vegetables whether grilled, baked, sautéed or fried; and salads of all kinds.\r\n\r\nMore than most grapes, Sauvignon Blanc makes a food wine. For some of us, trying it with food is a way to start liking it. Then, pretty soon, you just like it. And, that is the Better Half! A then you can have a whole glass because that’s way better than a half.\r\n\r\nYou can find this wine for only $12.99 at Bill’s Liquors on Lady’s Island.

(17722, 4, '2014-07-17 10:16:22', '2014-07-17 14:16:22', '<b>By Cherimie Crane Weatherford</b>\r\n\r\nI remember quite well the sidewalk, sunburned grass sneaking its way through the child-counted cracks. The building was nothing special, more akin to an oversized stone block rather than an office of award-winning medical care. The waiting room was pleasant enough, thoughtfully dressed in child friendly decor. Tattered coloring books mixed with sanitized toys served as a distraction while parent filled out necessary paperwork. Being an odd child, I found the pamphlets and sparse medical journals more appealing than the Sesame Street figurines or toys of varying size and sound. Maybe that explains why I often hid under the carefully cleaned chairs, behind the plainly painted doors or found it necessary to visit the little girls room every five seconds, just for good measure. No different than now, I simply wasn’t easily distracted when pain was imminent. I knew why I was there.\r\n\r\nRecently, in keeping with my odd ways, while others were basking in joy, intent on celebration and awed by the beauty that is a blushing bride, I couldn’t help but remember trips to the doctor’s office as a child. No matter what my Mom would promise, I was certain there would be a shot. An otherwise fabulous day would be interrupted by a painful prick. In order to keep me from displaying my masterful skills of escape, my mom would gently and desperately try to convince me to look away. “Isn’t that photo of that random, lifeless bird beautiful?” she would say, doing her very best to get me to look in the opposite direction from the pending good day interruption. From making extremely odd faces, to dancing, even attempting to entice me with the promise of ice cream, she would try everything to get me to look away from the needle resting on the nurse’s table. She failed more often than not. I knew what was coming. I knew why I was there. Ice cream was not going to fix this.\r\n\r\nToday, I am preparing to watch my very best friend marry a man who makes her heart sing. Friends and family are traveling from all of the country to join her on this most special day. She has asked me to stand by her side as she takes his hand and begins her new journey. Any normal female would fill her mind with thoughts of fun, fodder and bridal dresses adorned in layers of lavender, instead, I find myself preparing to look away.\r\n\r\nIt isn’t my preference to avoid the spotlight that has my stomach in knots and my heart in shambles — it is the fact that her “I do” will be leading her to Spain. Never feeling deep hatred for a country before, this is a new dilemma. I am sure there are plenty of beautiful people in Spain, there is no reason they should require another. Doing my very best to keep my hands from shaking, my heart from breaking and my bridal party makeup from erupting into mayhem, I will fluff her train, hold her bouquet and hand her the ring to place on the hand she will hold.\r\n\r\nOn the ride to the ceremony, I counted trees, I noticed flowers and took breaths deeper than any river. This is her day, her story, my tears will just have to wait. And wait they did, until she walked down the aisle. I couldn’t tell you what music was playing, who was in the audience or even the colors of the decor. I can tell you the first day we met, the first fight we had, her favorite color, her biggest fears, her favorite song, the pitch of her laugh,  even her favorite way to eat eggs. She is my best friend. Staring at the grass did no good, with each step she took I replayed some portion of my life that simply wouldn’t not have been the same without her beside me. Knowing that kidnapping her was not only a felony but completely inappropriate during a wedding, I did the only thing I knew to do. Momma would be proud, I finally looked away. Not really the portrait of the perfect Maid of Honor, but I knew Lydia would understand. I had too. One of life’s most prickly sticks is heading my way. Of course, we will visit. No doubt we will keep in touch. It just isn’t the same.\r\n\r\nIt is the double-edged sword of friendship. She is happy, she is beautiful and he loves her dearly. Wanting only the very best for her, I smile during photos, bustle her gown, hand over her very favorite lip gloss and light a sparkler as she rides away. My days, and my closet, will not be the same without her nearby. There is something so special, so rare as the bond of a woman and her best friend. We know each others strengths, weaknesses, shoe size and boiling point. Although we both know distance is only a number, I will miss her greatly. I have no doubt that she understands why I might just have to look the other way. I know what is coming, I know why I am here.

She preferred the traditional route — enjoying the concerts, good food and fun themes presented each night.\r\n\r\nWhile I enjoyed those events as well, I was more curious about the river route, which of course includes the sandbar. I had heard multiple stories of “experiences” at the sandbar during Water Fest, and I so wanted to see what all the fuss was about. Finally, a few years later, we were invited out on our friend’s boat.\r\n\r\nI was a little intimidated. I hated myself in a bathing suit, didn’t like my new haircut, and where, oh where, was I to go when I had to use the bathroom?\r\n\r\nDespite my reservations, I simply had to see for myself if all the crazy stories could possibly be true. I sucked in my tummy, did the best I could with my haircut, and even made the mistake of putting on  mascara. Off we went.\r\n\r\nI was completely amazed by how many boats and people were crammed onto that tiny piece of sand!\r\n\r\nWe tied up about 10 boats out and proceeded to set up shop — coolers, grills, sunscreen, jump off the boat and head for the crowd.\r\n\r\nFirst mistake: Know the tides. I walked with little effort to the sandbar. Getting back was a different story. How did the water get this high? That’s when I learned about boat hopping. I jumped from boat to boat until I got back to our mother ship.\r\n\r\nSecond mistake: Leaving the mother ship. When I got back to the boat from the sandbar, the large raft that I was so hoping to rest on was already filled. Fortunately, I spied a cute little purple chair float just two boats down, and no one was on it. Yay!\r\n\r\nI proceeded to carefully step on the chair, but it immediately flipped me over into the river. There I was, stuck upside down under this stupid purple chair, tide coming in strong, friends otherwise “occupied,” and I couldn’t get above water! Panic quickly set in. I just knew I was going to drown. I was probably under water for approximately 10 seconds when I saw a hand come down to pull me to safety. Thank you, whoever you were.\r\n\r\nNeedless to say, my hair was a dripping mess, I had mascara streaming down my face, and I was ready to go home. I stomped back to the boat, all the while my friends were rolling with laughter.  Imagine that, a near death experience and they thought it was funny!\r\n\r\nAt that moment, steaming with anger, I just happened to glance beyond the sandbar and the river and over at Beaufort Memorial Hospital. Voila!  My light bulb went off. Of course it makes sense that they planted a medical care facility right on the river on prime Beaufort real estate. I believe they did it solely because of Water Festival.\r\n\r\nAs the years pass, each time I tell that story, my underwater time increases. I am now up to about 45 minutes under water. (Never ruin a good story with the truth!)\r\n\r\nBut the moral of my story is this: Even though our hospital is conveniently located for you adventurous young rivergoers, I hope all who partake in the sandbar festivities this summer will use caution, be safe, and stay away from floating chairs.

The day kicked off with a 5K Obstacle Run, with more than 100 participants running through the woods and conquering obstacles such as scaling a cargo net, crawling through the pluff mud, jumping over wooden walls and climbing out of the marsh on a rope ladder. It was challenging, for sure. After the race, there was a big tomato fight, with more than 10,000 pounds of local tomatoes being hurled, chucked, squashed and smashed for some good, messy fun. The family friendly event also featured live music, bounce houses, face painting, a petting zoo and rides.

The process of strategic allocation does a great job in helping to identify that there is a difference between the “road tripper” and the “skydiver” but does nothing to provide either with the appropriate safety equipment.\r\n\r\nThe “road tripper” is put into a car, told to head South by strategic allocation, and told not to ask why there are no seat belts in the car. After all, the travel agent might say, “Our research tells us that if you just keep driving, you’ll be fine. Just don’t stop to ask directions, or slow down for any obstacles ... just keep going.”\r\n\r\nThe skydiver is similarly given the opportunity to exit a plane at altitude, just as they requested, but is told to jump out whether they are overtop an empty field, open water, or an active volcano. There are no adjustments from strategic allocation for “conditions on the ground.”\r\n\r\nTactical Investing can mean nothing more than taking the investor willing to jump out of an airplane, and adapting for the reality that he is not willing to do so in all conditions. It may mean allowing someone to traverse the country in a car rather than a plane, if that is what makes sense, but giving them GPS, a brake pedal, and a seat belt. The investor hopes to never need any of the listed safety equipment, but anyone with long-term market experience knows that, given enough time, they will.\r\n\r\nBy utilizing a tactical approach to portfolio management, we are able to adjust portfolios as market trends change over time.  This provides the “seat belt” necessary to try to smooth out the ride. So, it doesn’t matter if you are a “road tripper” or a “skydiver”, tactical investing can provide you the safety equipment needed to help you reach your objective.\r\n\r\n<i>This article was written by Dorsey, Wright and Associates, Inc., and provided to you by Wells Fargo Advisors and Arthur Levin, Financial Advisor and Senior Vice President, Investments, Beaufort, SC, 211 Scott Street, (843) 524-1114.  Wells Fargo Advisors did not assist in the preparation of this article, and its accuracy and completeness are not guaranteed.

Riptide went to work: At 1 a.m., they earned a 4-1 victory.\r\n\r\nEight hours later, Riptide was warming up for their next game against the Carolina Prospects from Columbia, SC. Riptide won 4-3.

The Bucks took the lead at the end of the second inning. Riptide came back in the third to tie the Bucks and then took the lead at the end of the fourth by scoring 3 more runs.  Riptide scored an additional run in the top of the fifth to give them a 4-run advantage. The Bucks cut the Riptide lead by two in the bottom of the fifth. The score was now 6-4.\r\n\r\nRiptide did not score in the top of the sixth and held the Bucks from scoring in the bottom of the sixth by striking out the first two batters and catching a fly ball in center field, giving Riptide a 6-4 victory and claiming the championship.\r\n\r\nThe Riptide coaches, players and parents would like to thank the following businesses and sponsors who helped raise the funds necessary to attend the tournament:  Lady’s Island Food Lion, Lady’s Island Walgreens, Shell Point Bi-Lo, Easy Rentals, and the numerous friends, family and community members who donated to the team.

They have served boaters for 39 years and have been an essential “safety net” for the Beaufort Water Festival all those years.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_17751\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/One-of-the-Beaufort-Water-Search-and-Rescue-boats-with-their-horizontal-orange-stripe.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-17751\" alt=\"One of the Beaufort Water Search and Rescue boats with its horizontal orange stripe.\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/One-of-the-Beaufort-Water-Search-and-Rescue-boats-with-their-horizontal-orange-stripe-300x213.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"213\" /></a> One of the Beaufort Water Search and Rescue boats with its horizontal orange stripe.[/caption]\r\n\r\nThe group’s primary mission is to assist and support federal, state and local emergency response agencies such as the U.S. Coast Guard and South Carolina Department of Natural Resources and was formed in response to the realization that those agencies could not render assistance to boaters in distress in the vast water stretches of northern Beaufort County in all circumstances all the time.\r\n\r\nSays 20 year BWSAR volunteer veteran Doyle Clifton, “I think our entire philosophy is to just help people.  Many of the 30 members are local boaters who have a very intimate knowledge of these waters, we use those skills and local knowledge to search and find boats in distress in the huge maze of rivers, creeks, marshes and mud flats that make up this area.”\r\n\r\nHe adds, “For the most part, we have five boats that belong to BWSAR, however, we also use personal boats owned by members, having a number of other sizes and types available.  We handle everything from deep water rescue to rivers, creeks, marsh and mud.  Even one time responded in a kayak and had to crawl through pluff mud and over oyster beds to reach stranded boaters.\r\n\r\n“We also help with safety boat patrols and watch over participants in special events like the Beaufort River Swim, the Paddle Battle, Dragon Boat practices, Dragon Boat Races, Raft Races, etc.  There are large numbers of privately owned boats that participate in Water Festival activities every year, a few not too seaworthy, others have problems with motors and need tows (disabled), fuel issues, persons overboard — lots of alcohol-related issues, too.  After the day’s festivities are over we remain on standby to assist even after dark with festivalgoers who might have problems heading home.”\r\n\r\nOriginally from Allendale, SC, Doyle spent summers here growing up on the creeks with his family, moving here\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_17752\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Doyle-Clifton-of-Beaufort-Water-Search-and-Rescue.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-17752\" alt=\"Doyle Clifton of Beaufort Water Search and Rescue\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Doyle-Clifton-of-Beaufort-Water-Search-and-Rescue-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" /></a> Doyle Clifton of Beaufort Water Search and Rescue[/caption]\r\n\r\npermanently 34 years ago where he became an art teacher at Mossy Oaks Elementary.\r\n\r\nDoyle is proud he met and married “a Beaufort girl.” He says with a smile, “Thirty years next month.” His lovely wife is Doris Barton Clifton, who works as an accountant for Waste Management. They have two grown children and three granddaughters.\r\n\r\nDoyle holds his fellow volunteers  in high regard. “It takes a special kind of person to choose to belong to this kind of group — a special kind of attitude and mentality to leave a warm, safe and comfortable home and go out in probably the worst weather and sea conditions, almost always at night, to help those in need. Guess we ain’t wrapped too tight,” he says with a laugh.\r\n\r\nSince the job is 24/7, Doyle says a lot of volunteers and their wives and families get disturbed, not only in the middle of the night, but also when they have just walked into a restaurant or are in the middle of all kinds of family events — like parties, church or even sitting in the dentist chair.  But Doyle says it’s worth it because of “the satisfaction we get knowing we have made a difference, that we can respond quickly to almost any situation from south end of Hilton Head to Edisto Island and inland all the way to Highway 17. We have a lot of what, at first, look like insignificant calls,  but we take every one seriously. Stranded boaters have no access to medical help, are at the mercy of the elements — lightning storms, rain. Simply aground on a sand bar can become a very dangerous situation.”\r\n\r\nDoyle says that over his 20 years, he’s seen a lot of tragedy and sadness from families regarding losses to drownings and accidents. But he adds, “I’ve seen a lot of good, too, great feeling when you know you’ve made a difference and probably saved a life or two.”\r\n\r\nIn 2004, Doyle was awarded the highest award given to a citizen for services rendered to the State of South Carolina — The Order of the Silver Crescent — by the governor, for his efforts as skipper with BWSAR. Doyle is currently a beach master with the organization, coordinating information with the Coast Guard and other agencies and the rescue operation. He has high praise for current Skipper Dick Jennings and the other dedicated members of the team. He retired two years ago from teaching and now works part time as a tour guide on Parris Island.  As an avid kayaker, with 60 years of experience on the local waters he has a vast database stored in his head to continue to help with rescue operations in the future.\r\n\r\nIn reference to the type of volunteer work they do, Doyle says what has always surprised him are the number of members who join and last for only a short time.  “I’ve had people literally get out of one of our boats after a mission, walk by and say, “You people are crazy ... I quit!’”\r\n\r\nBut for those who might like this kind of volunteer work that makes such a huge difference, they are always looking for new members.\r\n\r\nDoyle credits Beaufort County for support with some funding, and encourages people to participate in the Annual St. Paddy’s Day Sea Rescue Golf Tournament fundraiser in March on Fripp Island. But he adds that the BWSAR is a nonprofit organization that mainly survives on donations.\r\n\r\nSays Doyle “The donations we receive go to a number of needs. Obviously fuel is a huge expense right now with gas prices and these boats are not very fuel efficient.  Also, special equipment, navigation aids, wear and tear — these boats are almost always out in some of the harshest conditions — really takes a toll. If it weren’t for member Gary Bright — a former mechanic retired from Sea Island Marine — who literally keeps our boats running, Bobby Cooler at Sea Island Marine, and the good folks at Beaufort Boat and Dock Supply that help us out, not sure where we would be.”\r\n\r\nTo donate or volunteer, call 843-525-1969 or mail visit their office at: BWSAR, 817 Parris Avenue, Port Royal, SC, 29935.\r\n\r\nSays Doyle, “To our Water Festival guests, have a great time, be patient, cooperate and work with the various Water Festival groups and enjoy yourselves. Make it your best Water Festival yet — just don’t make it the last for yourself or someone else.”\r\n\r\nFor more information, visit www.bwsar.org.\r\n\r\n<b>For those who need assistance at any time day or night from Beaufort Search and Rescue, during the Water Festival or after, contact them by simply dialing 911 or HAIL VHF 16.</b>\r\n<div><b> </b></div>', 'Meet Doyle Clifton of the Beaufort Water Search and Rescue: Beaufort Water Festival’s \'safety net\' for boaters', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'meet-doyle-clifton-of-the-beaufort-water-search-and-rescue-beaufort-water-festivals-safety-net-for-boaters', '', '', '2014-07-23 14:41:46', '2014-07-23 18:41:46', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=17750', 0, 'post', '', 0),

I am thankful for this time with them and the moment to reflect.\r\n\r\nWhile growing up, Disney movies and Nickelodeon were keen influences on my way of life. One of my favorites still rings true today — Disney’s version of “The Jungle Book.” Its catchy song “Bear Necessities” has given me a few “ah-ha!” moments while replaying it in my head.\r\n\r\n<i>“Look for the bare necessities</i>\r\n\r\n<i>The simple bare necessities</i>\r\n\r\n<i>Forget about your worry and your strife</i>\r\n\r\n<i>I mean the bare necessities </i>\r\n\r\n<i>That’s why a bear can rest at ease</i>\r\n\r\n<i>The simple bare necessities of life.”</i>\r\n\r\nYes! The simple bare necessities of life and the ability to live with little and be grateful for what you have now — this is what I often find myself telling my yoga students, and for good reason.\r\n\r\nAfter a devastating house fire in 2011, my husband and I were left with nothing but the clothes on our back. We were graciously sent donations from our fantastic Beaufort community, and I learned quickly what it was like to live with bare necessities.  Food, clothing and a hotel room for shelter were what we had.  This experience quickly shifted our definition of what was necessary and what was important. People, not things, were most important now.\r\n\r\nHow often do you find yourself wanting something, only to feel when you get it a lack of that need? How much time do we spend creating this idea that more is better?\r\n\r\nThis moment in my life — when we were down to our bare necessities — I felt completely free. It was an enormously cleansing experience, not only to begin again in such a new way, but to experience the feeling of community, compassion and love allowed for me to overcome attachment. I had nothing more to be attached to — no more memorabilia, no more old journal stories, no more clothes, and no more materialistic items — simply because it was all gone.\r\n\r\nIt really was almost as if “The Jungle Book,” this simple piece of my childhood, was coming to mean something more than just a movie. After realizing the “bear necessities” in my life, and how incredibly freeing they allowed me to feel, this particular lyric rings true in my life now:\r\n\r\n<i>“And don’t spend your time lookin’ around</i>\r\n\r\n<i>For somethin</i><i>g you want that can’t be found</i>\r\n\r\n<i>When you find out you can live without it</i>\r\n\r\n<i>And go along not thinking about it</i>\r\n\r\n<i>I’ll tell you something true —</i>\r\n\r\n<i>The simple bar</i><i>e necessities of life will come to you!”</i>\r\n\r\nBack in 2011, when we were feeling lost, alone, and confused, the necessities we needed showed up the same day with an outpour of donations from the wonderful people I am still grateful to have in my life.\r\n\r\n<i>“If you let go of worry — let go of strife</i>\r\n\r\n<i>Turn to trust and gratitude and get on with your life </i>\r\n\r\n<i>The most amazing things will come to you.”</i>\r\n\r\nEnjoy, be grateful and appreciate the simple “Bear Necessities” of life.\r\n\r\n<i>Brittney Hiller is known as one of the happiest Yogini’s — she has practiced yoga for over a decade and can be found at every yoga studio in Beaufort.

The story of European rivals struggling for dominance in North America involved French, Spanish, and English explorers and their interactions with nations of Native American peoples. The Santa Elena Foundation is dedicated to sharing the little known history of this “lost century” through archaeological research, a cultural interpretive center, and a living history museum.\r\n\r\nBeall brings to this role extensive executive experience as a global corporate leader. His 30 years in the industrial equipment industry included responsibility for facilities in numerous countries. Living and working internationally, he led teams that established service and manufacturing operations to serve global customers.  Beall received his doctorate in business administration from the School of Advanced Studies at University of Phoenix.  Since settling in the Lowcountry in 2010, he has volunteered his time with a number of community organizations.\r\n\r\nIn accepting this position, Dr. Beall observed, “I am so very pleased with the support the Santa Elena Foundation has received from the community and the immediate interest people show when they hear European settlers first arrived here 450 years ago.  For me this role is an opportunity to work with a remarkable team of people on a historic project significant for our community.”\r\n\r\nThe Santa Elena Foundation is a non-profit organization based in Beaufort County.
