The new members will be showing their work as part of the second annual FAB Collective Works show in November.\r\n\r\nLaurie Lovell is a graphic designer who found her creative home in fibers when she received her MFA from the Savannah College of Art and Design.  “My intension is to combine both a creative and meditative approach to the art\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_13626\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/IMG_1542.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-13626\" alt=\"New members of the Fiber Artists of Beaufort, from left: Eileen Berchem, Laurie Lovell, Jada Gray and Cindy Male.\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/IMG_1542-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" /></a> New members of the Fiber Artists of Beaufort, from left: Eileen Berchem, Laurie Lovell, Jada Gray and Cindy Male.[/caption]\r\n\r\nexperience. “ In her work she uses a proprietary process that she developed to create a paper-like material from flax fiber. “Non-Lin” is non woven, non-spun long line flax fiber that is worked with water and an adhesive to form a fabric that can be molded and presented two or three dimensionally. Her “Enso” series of wall art depict the most common subject in Zen calligraphy, the circular form and will be on display at the show.\r\n\r\nCindy Male shares studio space at Art Works with Laurie and also shares her interest for the spiritual aspects of fiber art.  Male explains, “My art work is about the mind and how it connects with spirit. As an artist and yoga practitioner, I find that both disciplines are meditative and develop creativity and intuitive abilities. ” Male offers a series of six workshops entitled ‘Art and Consciousness’ that engage the participant in self-awareness through art history, art making, yoga and guided meditation.  Cindy will exhibit works of art painted and embellished with wax and embroidery on her original Computer Aided Design images printed digitally using a sublimation dye process.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nIn her 20’s Eileen Berchem started developing her own knitting patterns, adding personal embellishments and dyeing yarn to make each knitted garment her own.  “My knitting has been an exploration process in finding the fibers that best convey the mood and character of the garment I am designing.  My favorite fiber is alpaca.  You can make a garment that is strong or soft and cuddly.  It holds its shape, can be structured or can drape beautifully.”  Eileen sometimes experiments with other fibers.  An acrylic shawl she has made for the FAB Show is made with 2500 yards of gorgeous fuchsia sequined yarn.  She added a ruffled edge to make it a fabulous one of a kind work of fiber art.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nJada Gray is a basket maker.  Her emphasis is on organic shapes and natural materials.  She uses rattan and local area grapevine in her work.  With the abundance of local materials she has been encouraged to make larger and larger pieces.  Jada has been exploring shapes and tactile material for the past two years while studying with fellow FAB member and master basket maker, Kim Keats.  Gray comments, “I am inspired by the people I am surrounded by to include artists, art students, family and friends.  In exploring basketry I’ve been motivated by the words ‘Can I…How do I…and What if I…..”\r\n\r\nThe Second Annual Collective Works of the Contemporary Fiber Artists Show will take place at Tabby Fabric and Studio, 910 Port Republic Street in Beaufort on November 8, 9 and 10, 2013.  A reception, open to the public, will be held on Friday, November 8 from 5:30 to 8:00PM.  Saturday hours are from 10:00 to 5:O0 and on Sunday from 12:00 to 4:00.

After everything in her life falls to pieces, including her marriage to wealthy businessman Hal (Alec Baldwin), elegant New York socialite Jasmine (Cate Blanchett) moves into her sister Ginger’s (Sally Hawkins) modest apartment in San Francisco to try to pull herself back together again. While still able to project her aristocratic bearing, Jasmine is emotionally precarious and lacks any practical ability to support herself. She disapproves of Ginger’s boyfriend Chili (Bobby Cannavale), who she considers another “loser” like Ginger’s ex-husband Augie (Andrew Dice Clay). But as Jasmine derives her worth from the way she’s perceived by others, she herself is blind to what is going around her, and becomes the unwitting instrument of her own downfall.

(13669, 4, '2013-10-31 02:02:46', '2013-10-31 06:02:46', '<b>By Kymarie McEwan</b>\r\n\r\nA funny thing happened to me when I became a photographer. Everything about life became a photographic metaphor. When I look through my lens, I don’t see people as they are, but who they were meant to be — uniquely gifted and confident.\r\n\r\nWhen my friend Martha Cooper- Hudson asked me to visit South Carolina to cover her event, I didn’t think twice. It was a sacrifice, but I understood her vision, and wanted to do my part by capturing the special moments. In my line of work, it is very rare for women to come together in a casual setting, allowing themselves to be transparent. Imagine, being in a room filled to capacity with women from all walks of life, with varying beliefs and life experiences, women who are mothers, daughters, sisters, entrepreneurs and friends. Most of these women have never met, and in all likelihood most of them would never have exchange words if it were not for this event. I saw firsthand, mingling with the guest the <a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/IMG0179-64.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-13670\" alt=\"_IMG0179-64\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/IMG0179-64-300x214.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"214\" /></a>birthing of a sisterhood, right here in Beaufort County. But what I saw when I started editing the pictures was life changing.\r\n\r\nAs women, some of us have a tendency to compare ourselves with others. Some of us are unable to become who we were meant to be because somewhere along the line we stopped trusting in ourselves and began conforming to the opinion of others. Many of us are wearing nicely decorated masks that hide the greatness within us. Many of us have missed the essence of our life’s purpose by being competitive, unwilling to celebrate the success of others. But even worse, many of us are allowing our insecurities to prevent us from learning who we are, so we can become the individuals we are meant to be.\r\n\r\nLooking at the pictures from the Tasty Tuesday networking event, I saw women connected by a cause bigger than themselves. Many of the ladies took pictures to support cancer research. Purchased products from the local vendors there. They even shared things about themselves that they never intended to. They were listening to each other, hugging, laughing, dancing with strangers and just having a great time. Through the lens of my camera, this lesson became <a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/IMG0298-129.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-13671\" alt=\"_IMG0298-129\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/IMG0298-129-214x300.jpg\" width=\"214\" height=\"300\" /></a>apparent. When you know who you are, and what you have to offer, the ego has no place to work. Real women stand united. Only the insecure create strife.\r\n\r\nI am a stranger to Beaufort, and maybe things are perfect here. Maybe everyone <a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/IMG0254-106.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-13672\" alt=\"_IMG0254-106\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/IMG0254-106-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" /></a>gets along with everyone and there is no unhealthy competitiveness here. Maybe what I learned by looking at the pictures from the Women of Greatness Tasty Tuesday event was a lesson only I needed to learn. But imagine with me for a minute that things are not perfect here, and people are willing to let go of what is, in order to see what is possible.\r\n\r\nThrough my lens, I saw individuals uniquely gifted with untapped potential that the world is waiting to experience. I saw the women of Beaufort supporting each other and being committed to each other’s success. I saw women who are confident, even though they themselves haven’t yet recognized it. Through my lens, I saw women treating each other the way they want to be treated, irrespective of class or social background. Women who were not afraid to show their vulnerability. Women who are willing to see the good in others because they see the good in themselves.\r\n\r\n<b>Classy &amp; Sassy Women Night Out with a Purpose</b>\r\n\r\n<b>What an amazing evening that took place at the first Classy &amp; Sassy Women Night Out Event at the Holiday Inn &amp; Suites on October 15.

Approximately 500,000 of these individuals (40% annually) will develop oral complications from the therapy used to treat their cancer. These complications have the potential to adversely affect treatment outcomes, cancer prognosis, and quality of life for millions of men, women, children and the families that love them.\r\n\r\nBecause time is a major concern after a diagnosis of cancer, the dental team should see the patient within 24 hours of referral from the oncologist. The main reason oncologists may not refer their patients for a pretreatment dental evaluation is to avoid any delay in starting treatment.\r\n\r\nMany cancer patients are unaware that cancer treatments can affect the oral tissues. Dental professionals need to be a part of the cancer treatment team; diligent oral care prior to, during, and following cancer treatment can prevent or reduce the severity of oral complications. This can enhance both the patient’s survival and quality of life. Your dentist holds a critical position on the healthcare team for cancer treatment. A thorough oral evaluation by a knowledgeable dental professional at least two weeks before cancer treatment begins is important to the success of the regimen. Recognizing oral problems that already exist, such as periodontitis, caries, failing restorative work, and dentures may decrease the risk of infection. Areas where the gums or tissues are irritated can lead to ulceration in the mouth. Many of the medications used cause dry mouth. Pain and discomfort resulting from teeth and gums make it difficult for a patient to receive all of his or her treatment and sometimes treatment must be stopped completely. What would typically be routine work becomes urgent.\r\n\r\nBy starting preventive measures before and during early cancer therapy, it is possible for dentists to reduce the occurrence and the problems associated with their patients’ cancer treatment and significantly improve physiologic and social functioning. Timely oral care can also improve post treatment social adaptation and life quality, as well as prevent teeth having to be extracted in the interests of expediency with the patient having little choice in the matter.\r\n\r\nCommon oral complications of cancer treatment include:\r\n\r\n• Inflammation and ulceration of the mucous membranes inside the mouth (causing pain, oral and systemic infection).\r\n\r\n• Infection: viral, bacterial, and fungal (thrush/pain and burning of the tongue)\r\n\r\n• Xerostomia: dryness of the mouth because of thickened, reduced, or absent salivary flow (increases risk of infection and comprises speaking, opening mouth).\r\n\r\n• Extensive dental decay.\r\n\r\n<i>Dr. Wallace is with Palmetto Smiles of Beaufort, 40 Kemmerlin Lane, Beaufort, SC 29902.

We know that everything in all of creation is energy, there are no exceptions. When we take that one step further we can say that everything is actually a vibration or a frequency, and that means everything, including our own body and responses to life.\r\n\r\nWe’ll go back to our car for a moment.  When we turn our dial on a particular radio station, we only tune into what is coming through because we have set it vibrate at the same frequency due to the signal being released from the various radio towers.  Now, as we get further away from that tower, we may hear another station begin to overlap into our dialed in station. This is known as the Universal Law of Resonance stating that when two frequencies are present, the stronger of the two will override. That happens with each of us every minute of every day. OK, so what does that mean?\r\n\r\nWhen I heard the statement that no one can make me angry but that they can activate anger in me, it didn’t make much sense. Now, with the law of resonance, I am beginning to get it. In a room with several guitars, if someone were to pluck the G string, the other guitars would begin to vibrate on the same frequency since it was the strongest vibration in the room. Since we are each a symphony of vibrations within our bodies and memory fields based on all of our life experiences, when someone in our field says or does something, a like or stronger vibration will become activated. This can explain why misunderstandings occur. Someone says something seemingly benign but, based on the frequency of the recipient’s personal radio station, a stronger vibration will get plucked and without warning, frustration or anger shows up, activating upset in the other person with “oh my gosh, all I said was ...” or “all I meant was ...” I think we’ve all experienced the song that gets sung from there, or is it just me?\r\n\r\nSo, we’ve heard from the Law of Attraction that we create what we think about. Well, actually what shows up is what we vibrate. If we set our intentions for a life of peace and joy, but are vibrating in worry and fear by watching the news or constantly sharing our doubts, frustrations and worries about the economy, our family, etc.  then we will attract more experiences to activate worry and fear. Our first step is to turn off the news, stop sharing our victim stories and gossip, and surround ourselves with positive people, enjoyable music, nature and things that just feel good to us. When we feel an activation of upset, rather than growling back with our automatic reaction, check in to the area of your body where you feel the upset and take a deep “chubby belly” breath with a heavy sigh out.  The old standby of counting to 10 works too. Just take a moment to tune into your personal radio station and the familiar song it wants to sing, then just visualize changing the dial to choose a different song with a different frequency. This moment to shift allows you to choose your response responsibly rather than your auto reaction, just because it is the familiar. This may be a challenge for some at first but with repetition it becomes easier then becomes a whole new radio station all together.\r\n\r\nSo, as the Beach Boys would say, here’s to “Picking up good vibrations!”\r\n\r\nLive Well ... Have Fun!\r\n\r\n<i>For more information or comments, please visit www.theravista.net, call 843-812-1328 or email theravista@gmail.com. </i>', 'What radio station are you dialed into?', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'what-radio-station-are-you-dialed-into', '', '', '2013-11-07 07:51:00', '2013-11-07 12:51:00', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=13699', 0, 'post', '', 0);

Siegel, MD, FAAO</b>\r\n\r\nMore than a decade after the first age-related eye disease study (AREDS) showed that taking daily high doses of vitamins C and E, beta-carotene, zinc and copper can slow down the progress of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) a second study (AREDS 2) has revealed that adding certain antioxidants to the original formula does not provide any extra benefit to patients.\r\n\r\nAdvanced AMD can lead to significant vision loss, and in the United States it is the leading cause of blindness. About 2 million Americans have advanced AMD; another 8 million are at risk.\r\n\r\nThe first AREDS study was conducted by the National Eye Institute and concluded in 2001. It showed that the original AREDS formula could reduce patients’ risk of the advanced form of AMD by about 25 percent. The formula helps protect people’s central vision, which is needed for reading, driving, recognizing faces and other daily activities.\r\n\r\nAREDS2, which concluded in 2011, tested several antioxidant nutrients that earlier research had suggested might protect the eyes: lutein, zeaxanthin, and omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids are produced by plants and are present in oily fish such as salmon. Lutein and zeaxanthin are carotenoids, a class of plant-derived vitamins that also includes beta-carotene, and are present in leafy green vegetables. The body uses these nutrients to maintain the health of the retina, the part of the eye that can be damaged by AMD. Participants in AREDS2 were assigned to take one of four different AREDS formulas daily for five years.\r\n\r\nThe AREDS2 research team did find that two patient subgroups benefited from taking variants of the original AREDS formula. The risk of developing advanced AMD was reduced by about 18 percent in study participants who took the variant that included lutein and zeaxanthin but no beta-carotene, compared with participants who took the variant that had beta-carotene but no lutein or zeaxanthin. And those participants whose diets were low in lutein and zeaxanthin at the start of the study, but who took a variant with lutein and zeaxanthin during the study, were about 25 percent less likely to develop advanced AMD, compared with similar participants who did not take lutein and zeaxanthin.\r\n\r\nThe researchers say that removing beta-carotene from the AREDS formula and adding lutein and zeaxanthin will result in a single formula that is safe and effective for all AMD patients. Until now, people who were current or former smokers could only use a formula that excluded beta-carotene, because it had been linked to risk of lung cancer for these patients. About half of AREDS2 participants were former smokers.\r\n\r\nAnother recent AREDS report showed that the benefits of taking the AREDS formula appear to be long-lasting. Participants in the first AREDS study who took the original formula daily for five years continue to enjoy a 25 percent lower risk of developing advanced AMD. Most report that they are still taking the supplement.\r\n\r\nIt is recommended that you discuss these research results with your ophthalmologist and primary care physician before changing or adding a supplement to your regimen.\r\n<div></div>', 'Vitamins reduce risk of age-related macular degeneration', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'vitamins-reduce-risk-of-age-related-macular-degeneration', '', '', '2013-11-07 07:51:44', '2013-11-07 12:51:44', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=13701', 0, 'post', '', 0),

The Circle Unbroken,” on Saturday, Nov. 9 at 6 p.m. at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Beaufort, 178 Sams Point Road, Lady’s Island.\r\n\r\nReservations are required and may be made by calling toll free: 1-866-726-9346. Seating is limited. There is no admission charge, but a love offering will be welcome at the door.\r\n\r\nAunt Pearlie Sue is the creation of award-winning storyteller and singer, Anita Singleton-Prather, a retired teacher and ordained minister. The character is based on Singleton-Prather’s grandmother and has entertained audiences with Gullah-flavored folktales for more than 20 years.\r\n\r\nSingleton-Prather has performed at the Beaufort Gullah Festival, Penn Heritage Days Festival, the Woodlands Festival and at Spoleto USA. Her original movie, “My Man Done Wrong,” has been a part of the film festival circuit to include the Jamerican Film Festival in Kingston, Jamaica and the Black Hollywood and San Francisco Film Festivals in California. She also appeared in the film “Forrest Gump.”\r\n\r\nThe Gullah Kinfolk is composed of singers, musicians and storytellers who perform educational programs in the Gullah tradition. The group appeared at the Children’s Museum of Houston last December and has performed many times for schoolchildren and adults in Beaufort and elsewhere.\r\n\r\nSingleton-Prather hopes the concert will raise money to support her group’s goals of raising awareness of the history and traditions of the Gullah people and for educational and enrichment programs for youth in Beaufort.\r\n\r\n“GOD is faithful even in the midst of our worry and doubt. We celebrate Him through our performances. Our music and story-telling reflect the strength and spirit of the Gullah people who endured through times that test the soul,” she said.\r\n\r\nA portion of concert proceeds will benefit the social justice projects of the UUFB. Reverend Nan White said her church is delighted to sponsor the concert. “Unitarian Universalism has a legacy of support for worthwhile organizations such as The Gullah Kinfolk.

In fact, when Puccini began composing it, he decided that while his first masterpiece “La\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_13708\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"278\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Arts-Opera-Tosca.jpg\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-13708\" alt=\"Patricia Racette, who sings the role of Tosca.\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Arts-Opera-Tosca.jpg\" width=\"278\" height=\"267\" /></a> Patricia Racette, who sings the role of Tosca.[/caption]\r\n\r\nBoheme” was all poetry and no action, “Tosca” would be all action and no poetry.  And so it is.\r\n\r\n<b>Act I:</b> The Church of Sant’Andrea, Rome, 1800. Artist Mario Cavaradossi is working on a painting of the Madonna when Angelotti, an escaped political prisoner, enters. Mario, his friend, agrees to help him seek asylum. Floria Tosca, a famous opera singer and Mario’s lover, arrives and soon becomes suspicious when she recognizes the face of the  Marchesa Attavanti (Angelotti’s sister) in the painting. He gently soothes her jealousy, and they agree to meet later that evening. After she leaves, Mario rushes away with Angelotti. A cannon is heard, signaling Angelotti’s escape, and the arrival of Rome’s ruthless chief of police, Baron Scarpia. He discovers the Marchesa’s fan, and  believes that Angelotti has fled with the artist. When Tosca returns, Scarpia taunts her with the fan, rousing her suspicions once again. Now convinced that she has been betrayed, she departs to confront Mario. As Scarpia orders his agent, Spoletta, to follow her, a huge crowd gathers for the choral singing of a Te Deum. Scarpia kneels to pray, but his thoughts are only on the capture of Cavaradossi and winning Tosca’s love, both of them at any cost.\r\n\r\n<b>Highlights:</b> Mario: <b>“Recondita armonia” </b>(The strange harmony of contrasts...). A fine lyrical passage in which he envisions Tosca as the model of his portrait. Tosca: <b>“Mario... Mario....”</b> Her voice precedes her entry, leading to several passionate exchanges between them. When she becomes suspicious about the painting, Mario responds with the beginning of one of Puccini’s finest extended duets, <b>“Qual occhio...”</b> (What eyes...).  Then, in a brilliantly-created final scene, Scarpia stands alone observing the processional. As the orchestra and chorus swell to full force, Scarpia calls out a terrifying: “Tosca! For you I will renounce my hopes for heaven.”\r\n\r\n<b>Act II:</b>  Scarpia’s room at the Farnese Palace. Tosca is ending a concert nearby as Scarpia dines. Spoletta brings in the captured Cavaradossi who denies helping Angelotti. In response to a note from Scarpia, Tosca arrives, but before Mario can warn her to keep silent, he’s taken away to be tortured. When his screams become unbearable, Tosca reveals where Angelotti is hiding. This betrayal angers Mario, but when news arrives about Napolean’s victory, his anger turns to a defiant cry for freedom. Scarpia orders him taken away for his execution. Alone with Scarpia, Tosca tells him that she will pay any price to spare Mario’s life. Scarpia chillingly demands that she become his mistress – and she despondently agrees.  He signs safe conducts for them, adding that he will order a mock execution at dawn in order to cover their departure.  Moving to embrace her, Tosca grabs a dinner knife and stabs him to death.\r\n\r\n<b>Highlights:</b> Few, if any, operas come close to sustaining as much dramatic intensity as seen and heard in this act. From the moment Tosca arrives until she leaves with Scarpia’s corpse on the floor, the pressure builds relentlessly.  And yet in the midst of so much turmoil, Puccini masterfully insinuates the most famous of all his great soprano arias, her “Vissi d’arte” (I live for art), a heartbreaking outburst of despair.\r\n\r\n<b>Act III:</b> The Palace roof. Mario is escorted from his cell to write a letter. His thoughts are about Tosca who arrives to tell him that she has secured safe passages for their escape, but only after he takes part in the mock execution. The firing squad arrives; shots ring out; Mario falls, and Tosca approaches, only to find him dead. Soldiers  rush in to arrest her. She runs to the parapet and leaps to her death.\r\n\r\n<b>Highlights:</b> A tranquil beginning provides a stark contrast to the tragic ending awaiting the two lovers in this brief final act.  In the distance, the magical sound of sheep bells and the voice of a shepherd suggest the stillness of dawn, followed by Mario’s letter to Tosca in an aria of great beauty,<b> “E lucevan le stelle”</b> (The stars were shining...). Soon Tosca enters with the documents, leading to a tender love duet between them, <b>“O dolci mani...”</b> (Oh gentle hands...). And then in one of operas most vivid finales, Puccini punctuates the mock execution and Tosca’s death leap with electrifying orchestration.\r\n\r\nPatricia Racette, whose career as a singer/actor continues to grow admirably, is in the title role. She’s joined by the fine tenor Roberto Alagna as Mario and the imposing basso George Gagnidze, a villain that audiences will love to hate. Rating: Definitely PG.\r\n\r\nTickets: Adults $22; OLLI members $18; Students under 18, $15.

(13714, 4, '2013-11-07 07:58:41', '2013-11-07 12:58:41', '<b>By Tracie Korol</b>\r\n\r\nNow that the hot, humid weather is behind us we may not be quite as conscientious when it comes to making sure our pets are supplied with fresh, clean water. Even in winter, in a dry heated house, a dog can become dehydrated if deprived of fresh water. I emphasize the word “fresh” for a reason.\r\n\r\nTry this experiment. Drink a glass of cold clean tap water, right from the tap. Observe. At the same time, fill another glass and leave it on the counter. Come back to it three or four days later. Most likely it has a faint film on the surface — dust, grease, pollen — and if you choose to drink it down, fuzz and all, you’ll notice it tastes musty and flat.  Observe. This is probably the water your dog drinks every day.\r\n\r\nWater is the most important of all the <i>nutrients</i>. It plays a complex and critical role in the health of all mammals, constituting 55%-75% of the body mass of all warm-blooded creatures, 84% of a newborn puppy and 60% of an adult dog. Water bathes and fills every one of a dog’s billion cells. In fact, a dog can lose all of its fat and half of its muscle mass and survive, but just a 10% loss of body water can cause breakdown. Water lubricates a dog’s joints and muscles and cushions the spaces between individual cells. As the principle element of blood, it transports oxygen to all body tissues and helps fight infections by distributing white blood cells produced by a dog’s immune system. Water provides an environment in which enzymes can digest food and convert it to energy for a dog’s survival.\r\n\r\nDogs crave <i>fresh</i> water; and they like a clean bowl, too. It’s easy to simply refill the bowl, day after day, dumping more in when the level gets low. But really, when was the last time you ran the water bowl through the dishwasher? All kinds of stuff can grow in there especially if you have one of those dogs that dips his beard and rinses his mouth when he drinks leaving dirt, twigs and crumbs to float around the bowl. It’s a good idea to get multiple water bowls, bottom-heavy stainless steel or ceramic, so you can switch them out when the dog water begins to look like bilge.\r\n\r\nA properly sized bowl is a good idea, too. An oversized bowl means your dog may only be able to drink water part way down. While it looks full, it’s not because he can’t get to it. Tall, narrow bowls are good for dogs with long ears like Bassets, spaniels and beagles, reducing collateral wetness from drippy ears.\r\n\r\nOur Best Friends are messy, hit-and-miss slurpers, so it can sometimes be hard to know just how much water they get in a day. Most dogs need about an ounce of fluids per pound of body weight daily, so a 10-pound dog needs a bit over a cup of clean fresh water daily. Hard playing, working or lactating dogs usually need more and puppies generally drink more than adult dogs. Dogs that eat only a dry kibble diet, with less than 5% moisture content, will naturally drink more, too. Plus, a dog will drink more when it is hot and conversely, more when it is cold and dry.\r\n\r\nResist the temptation to add things to his water to make it more “drinkable”. There are all kinds of toppings and additives on the market these days designed to activate your guilt or your compensation tendencies. Your dog doesn’t need “flavored” water any more than you do. If you just can’t stand the pressure of not indulging your dog, add a few ice cubes and yodel “cocktails!” just for fun.\r\n\r\nYour dog is drinking enough if you observe him lapping several times a day from his water bowl and if the water level goes down in the bowl over the day. If you’re aware of a sudden decrease or increase in water consumption, your dog may be ill. Excessive thirst and urinating large amounts may indicate diabetes, kidney failure or other endocrinological diseases. Time to call the vet if you notice drastic changes. Although all dogs are different, your dog is drinking enough if he urinates several times a day when you take him out.', 'Drink to good health', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'drink-to-good-health-2', '', '', '2013-11-07 07:58:41', '2013-11-07 12:58:41', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=13714', 0, 'post', '', 0),

(13719, 4, '2013-11-07 08:01:07', '2013-11-07 13:01:07', '<b>By Celia Strong</b>\r\n\r\nOf course, as it happens with numbers, you have to have some degree of accuracy. That’s part of what makes them numbers and not something else, like just ideas. So this week, after we learn what we have to learn, we can get this week’s number. And, yes, that number gets us this week’s wine. So, off we go to France, to the Burgundy region, for some great bubbles.\r\n\r\nHopefully, we all remember the distinction between sparkling wines and Champagne, besides a big price difference! Both of them are wines with bubbles, but Champagne is an AC wine region in northern France where they grow three grape varieties only, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay, and make sparkling wines from them within the boundaries of their region.  There are laws in France, and Europe, that do not allow wines from other grapes or other regions to be called Champagne. That makes Champagne a type of sparkling wine, but sparkling wines can’t be Champagne.  Fortunately, most of the other wine regions of France do produce sparkling wines. From their regions’ grapes. And, usually, in the same second fermentation in-the-bottle method as is used in Champagne.  When you travel in France, it is a great opportunity to try the local sparkling wines. Here, we can find several, the ones from Burgundy always being some of the best.\r\n\r\nThe region of Burgundy is located on the eastern side of France, south and east of Paris, running from north to south,  from the town of Chablis to the top of the Rhône Valley. Their main grape varieties, allowed by the local AC laws, are Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. So, right away, we can guess their sparkling wines might be pretty good. In Burgundy, their AC law lets (makes) them call their sparkling wines Crémant de Bourgogne. Originally, crémant wines had less pressure, carbonation. The name “crémant” means “creamy,” referring to the softer, creamier texture of these wines. They are still made by a using a second fermentation to create the wines’ bubbles. In the bottle. This second fermentation takes a shorter time, though, than what is used in Champagne. Less time means fewer bubbles. (And, helps to keep the cost of the process down, a bit, and the cost to you for the bottle, as well.)\r\n\r\nHistorically, there was a long-lasting competition between Champagne and Burgundy way before they were official appellations. And, before Champagne made almost only sparkling wines. King Louis XIV’s doctors first told him he should drink only wines from Champagne. But, producers in Burgundy conspired with the King’s mistress. And, they got a new diagnosis.  The King was told he should drink only the wines from Burgundy. Even after Louis died, there was a 100 year or so period when each of these regions called the wines from the other region “unhealthy.”\r\n\r\nThe appellation, Crémant de Bourgogne, was created in 1975.  The wines were made, though, as far back as the 19th century. Many of the best ones were made from what are now rated as Grand Cru vineyards.  The appellation covers white and rosé sparkling wines, made with predominantly Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. “Bourgogne Mousseux” is another appellation for red sparkling wines. More than 13 million bottles of Crémant de Bourgone are made every year. Sweetness levels can range from Brut to Demi-Sec. White Crémant de Bourgogne wines can be either Blanc de Blancs (white wine from white grapes) or Blanc de Noirs ( white wine from red grapes), or, of course, a blend of both. Plain Crémant. Rosés are mostly Pinot Noir and maybe some Gamay, the red variety that makes Beaujolais from the southern end of the region. Because the Burgundy region is so long, from its north end to the south end, it runs about one hundred seventy-five miles, the terroir that Crémant wines come from can vary greatly. Wines from close to Chablis, in the north, come from a cooler climate and chalkier soils. They are lighter bodied with more delicacy and finesse.  Those from further south, like near Lyons, are fuller bodied and heavier.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, we can now discuss our winery for this week’s wine. Boisset Family Estates. In 1961, Jean-Claude Boisset founded his negoçiant firm in Burgundy. He was 18 years old. His goal was to make authentic wines with minimal human intervention. And, the winemaker was as involved with the cellar as with the vines.  He used native yeasts, never more than 30 percent new oak, and made wines that were concentrated, well-rounded and expressed their individual “terroir” origins. Today, the son, Jean-Charles Boisset, runs the company. (Not that it matters to us for this week’s wine, but the Boisset company has expanded beyond the world of Burgundy. They own DeLoach Vineyards, Raymond Vineyards, Buena Vista Winery and several more California wineries.  And, absolutely worth mentioning, Jean-Charles is married to Gina Gallo, granddaughter to Ernest and Julio.). In Burgundy, now, the Boisset operation, under several labels, produces about 10 million bottles of crémant. Which means we can fall in love with this one and still be able to get plenty of it.\r\n\r\nAs part of his expansion of his father’s company, Jean-Charles started another line of Burgundian wines. These are called JCB by Jean-Charles Boisset. JCB being his father’s initials, not his own. Each one of these wines, about a dozen or more, are named by a number. Each number having a specific significance. Our wine is “No 69.”  1969 was the year Jean-Charles was born. It was also the year men went to the moon.  That means No 69 is an expression of freedom, unlimited possibilities, creativity, artistry and refinement. Quite a high bar for a wine to measure up to. But, relax. It does, and then some.\r\n\r\n<b>JCB No 69</b> is a Crémant de Bourgogne Rosé. (The other sparkling wines from JCB have other numbers. See, accuracy.) Made completely from Pinot Noir grapes. Its color comes from the “saignée” method. (Related to the word for “blood,” this method gets color from the skins of the grapes. The color is bled into the juice.) The wine has raspberry notes with red currants. It is dry, crisp and clean and, yet, still gentle in your mouth. The whole point of a crémant.  Remember, creamy?\r\n\r\nIt pairs well with quiche, seafood, salmon. And, most importantly for us, turkey and ham dinners. A perfect match for the holidays. And not just with the dinners. This wine will be lovely all day, or all weekend, long. My first taste (bottle) was with a football game, if that gives you any ideas. There should be a lot of opportunities to drink lots of No 69.  For $17.99. Enjoy.\r\n<div></div>', 'What’s behind the number of JCB No 69', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'whats-behind-the-number-of-jcb-no-69', '', '', '2013-11-07 08:01:07', '2013-11-07 13:01:07', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=13719', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Daniel was a reporter and Pamela a copy editor.\r\n\r\nDaniel had grown up outside of Columbus, Ohio, in Westerville, a town known historically as an important stop on the Underground Railroad. He got a Broadcasting degree from Otterbein College. Pamela, from Montville, N.J., got a journalism degree from Penn State.  It was Pamela’s parents’ second home in Hilton Head that first introduced her to the area. Daniel followed his friends from Ohio who had gotten jobs in the area.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_13746\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Profile-Brownsteins.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-13746\" alt=\"The Brownstein Family: Pamela, Selah, Wolfe and Daniel.\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Profile-Brownsteins-300x199.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" /></a> The Brownstein Family: Pamela, Selah, Wolfe and Daniel.[/caption]\r\n\r\nIt was at The Island Packet where Pamela won “Best of the Best” out of all newspapers in the state for her front page designs from the South Carolina Press Association (SCPA). She also won Daniel’s heart.\r\n\r\nPamela said, “I thought Daniel was handsome right away: he’s tall with a great smile and big brown eyes. Then I saw how good he was at his job as a writer and reporter, and that was very attractive too.”\r\n\r\nDaniel said, “I knew Pam was ‘the one’ when she drove me around Beaufort and out to Hunting Island in the middle of winter. I had no idea where I was, but I knew I never wanted to leave. It was a combination of the golden sunlight, her hair blowing in the wind and a magical feeling that I was meant to be there.”\r\n\r\nThey were married on the Bluff along Bay Street in Beaufort four years ago and now live nearby with their two young children, Wolfe (22 months) and Selah (3 months).\r\n\r\nDaniel said, “What I really love about Pamela is her enthusiasm for life and people. She is spunky, funny, fiercely loyal,  and despite her insistence to the contrary, she is also quite selfless, patient and sensitive, particularly when it comes to raising our children.”\r\n\r\nThough having two young children while both maintain fulltime jobs can sometimes be quite challenging, Pamela finds marriage to Daniel has made it all worthwhile. “Daniel’s sense of humor keeps me laughing and his intelligence never ceases to amaze me,” she said. “And now, with two kids, I’ve seen him as such an awesome dad, and I didn’t think it was possible to love him more than I already did, but he is so patient and sweet, it makes me feel so lucky to have him in my life.”\r\n\r\nAnd they both love living in Beaufort. Pamela said, “I like the friendly people and that there are so many interesting characters. Living in a small town is nice because everywhere we go we see people we know. We have great neighbors and the sense of community cultivated here is sincere and reassuring.”\r\n\r\nAdds Daniel, “I like that Beaufortonians are eclectic, welcoming and are unafraid of being different from the rest of South Carolina. This is a special place and I am glad it is filled with such special people.”\r\n\r\nPamela is now editor of The Island News where she has won several SCPA awards for column writing and page design, as well as helping to make it Beaufort’s most popular paper for local coverage. She said, “I truly believe that our free weekly paper is a valuable addition to the community. People tell me all the time how much they enjoy The Island News, and that makes my job so satisfying. I feel very fortunate that I am able to use my design skills and journalism experience to bring readers a quality newspaper that represents the positive aspects of Beaufort.”\r\n\r\nDaniel now works for the District Attorney as Communications Director for the Fourteenth Circuit Solicitor’s Office, where he is involved in many aspects of the operations including public/media relations, strategic budgeting, grant-writing and project management. Says Daniel, “Solicitor Duffie Stone hired me to help modernize a five-county prosecutor’s office. I consider myself very lucky to see the inner workings of a district attorney’s office and to get to shape policies and programs that help people. For example, I developed our office’s Violence Against Women Prosecution Team to address domestic violence and rape in some of South Carolina’s poorest and under served counties. In Beaufort County, I secured federal funding for a special problem-solving court that provides comprehensive treatment to address the underlying reasons kids have turned to crime. I am grateful Solicitor Stone has given me the opportunity to build up such valuable experience as we work to achieve his goal of creating a professional prosecutor’s office filled with committed employees who do good things both inside and out of the courtroom.”\r\n\r\nAnd to that end, both Pamela and Daniel are involved in various charities. Pamela said, “I support the American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life, especially after my mother’s battle with breast cancer. I am also constantly amazed at all the hard work that goes into so many wonderful local charities. From CAPA to CODA to Friends of Caroline Hospice, just to name a few, Beaufort is definitely a caring community that helps those in need and rallies behind worthy causes.”\r\n\r\nDaniel adds, “As part of my job, I get to see a lot of good people who sacrifice a great deal to help people who find themselves in the worst situations you can imagine. I have been honored to help them. I really think the folks at Citizens Opposed to Domestic Abuse, Hope Haven of the Lowcountry and Child Abuse Prevention Association deserve our community’s undying gratitude and support.”\r\n\r\nDaniel is also a board member and active participant in the Lowcountry Coalition Against Human Trafficking because he says “I have never been able to stand people being taken advantage of.”\r\n\r\nAs for the future, Daniel will graduate next month with a Master’s in Business Administration from the University of South Carolina. He said, “I feel like I am in a place where I am open to life’s possibilities with no real concrete career plan for the first time in my life. I would like to manage an organization, because that will allow me to do a lot of different things.” For Pamela, her goals are more immediate. “I just turned 35, so my goal for this year is to get in better shape and try to lose this baby weight!”\r\n\r\nThe beauty of Beaufort is what attracted Pamela and Daniel here and the people and community they found helped them stay and make a life together. In return, they have given a tremendous amount back to building and strengthening that community.', 'Beaufort Brownsteins: Love, work and raising a family in the Lowcountry', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'beaufort-brownsteins-love-work-and-raising-a-family-in-the-lowcountry', '', '', '2013-11-07 08:24:01', '2013-11-07 13:24:01', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=13725', 0, 'post', '', 0),

David says, “We will open online at www.hautediggitydawg.com by December 1, and we opened our retail store in Oakwood Plaza II on Sams Point Road on November 1. Our plan is to stock collars, leads, dog beds, dog sized collegiate sports apparel, travel items, novelties. The business plan is to stay out of the food and live pet business, while concentrating on quality pet accessories and dog fashion statements.”\r\n\r\nDavid and Katherine arrived on Lady’s Island from Naples, Florida, in February with their 10-year-old Wire Hair Fox Terrier, Mercie. Katherine has never met a dog that she didn’t love. The business was her idea — there aren’t enough things for the discriminating dog. “We are staying away from food and supplies. You can get that at PetSmart. We look to service a different market with gifts, art, ruffles, a new line of designer leashes, and fun things. There really is no competition within a hundred miles to appeal to the vacation and retiree market as well as local dog lovers,” said Katherine.\r\n\r\nAs their store backs up to The Grooming Cottage, a professional groomer in the same building, Haute Diggity Dawg will be offering their clients coupons for the store.\r\n\r\nThe grand opening was on November 1. New inventory is arriving daily, but they are fully stocked and operational. Katherine’s son, Charlie Coudriet, is the manager and eager to help. They are open to suggestions as to favorite lines of merchandise to stock. Please contact the store with ideas at HauteDiggityDawg@outlook.com.\r\n\r\nDavid, a lawyer and realtor, states that most of his life was spent in suburban Detroit; Washington, DC; and Naples, Fla., but that he has known about Beaufort since he was a child. He said, “My mother was a Barnwell, and Tuscaroara Jack Barnwell (Beaufort’s founder in 1711) is my seven greats grandfather. My Great-Great-Grandfather moved to Georgia after the Civil War. I love this town. Growing up, I never had many relatives around, now it’s like coming home, only 150 years later!”\r\n\r\nHaute Diggity Dawg is located at 53B Sams Point Road, Lady’s Island, SC, 29907. Open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday; 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday.

On a day that our country proudly recognizes as a national holiday, Beaufort County School District did not observe Veterans Day. Giammatteo thought this was unacceptable, especially in a town that is home to three military installations.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_13755\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"275\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Jake-Giammatteo-_The-Tie-Guy_.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-13755\" alt=\"Jake Giammatteo will lead the Veterans Day Assembly on Friday, November 8 at  1 p.m. at Lady’s Island Middle School.

The public is invited to attend.[/caption]\r\n\r\n“Beaufort, SC, is a military town. I didn’t understand why we didn’t recognize our veterans,” explained Giammatteo.\r\n\r\nSo, he decided to do something about it.\r\n\r\nJake wrote a letter to the Beaufort County School District and Board of Education requesting Veterans Day off to give thanks to all those who served honorably in the military, in wartime and peacetime, to acknowledge that their contributions to our national security are appreciated, and to underscore the fact that all those who served — not only those who died — have sacrificed and done their duty for our country.\r\n\r\nAlong with the letter, Giammatteo gathered signatures from students on a formal petition and sent it as an enclosed attachment.\r\n\r\nAnd, as a gesture of respect to our veterans, Giammatteo pledged to wear a tie every day to school to honor our heroes. He earned the nickname, “The Tie Guy.”\r\n\r\n“I wanted to dress nicely at school to honor those men and women who died for our country and those who still serve,” explained Giammatteo.\r\n\r\nAs leadership changed within the school district, the minds of its new leaders did too. This year, thanks to Jake Giammatteo, Beaufort County School District recognizes Veterans Day as an observed holiday.\r\n\r\nThough the school district has not acknowledged Giammatteo as the catalyst behind the amended calendar, another celebrated community figure and many teachers and administrators have.\r\n\r\nMarine Brig. General L.E. Reynolds sent Giammatteo an official letter thanking him for his patriotism and commending him on his professionalism, especially at such a young age.\r\n\r\nGiammatteo’s former principal, Carmen Dillard, also saluted his efforts.\r\n\r\n“He found a way to express his concerns in a very positive manner. He worked very hard to communicate this with students and faculty. I am very proud of him,” says Dillard.\r\n\r\nDillard recognized Giammatteo at Coosa Elementary School’s Leadership Day last May. At the event, Lt. Col. Michael Bowersox and the Chaplain of Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island personally expressed thanks to Giammatteo.\r\n\r\nAnother big fan of Jake Giammatteo’s perseverance was Coosa teacher Jim Olsen, a former Marine. To encourage Jake’s commitment to dressing reverently at school, Olsen contributed ties to his wardrobe.\r\n\r\nThe word spread quickly. Coosa’s PTO arranged a drive and also donated ties. Jody Henson, past commander of the local chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution, not only gave Giammatteo more ties, but also a scholarship in his name.\r\n\r\nNow a fifth grader at Lady’s Island Middle School, Giammatteo continues his tradition of wearing ties, not only on Veterans Day, but every day. He was elected by his peers to serve as the Student Council Secretary. He’s also a member of the cup stacking team and a proud member of the Gentleman’s Club.\r\n\r\nPerhaps the most spirited role Giammatteo plays at Lady’s Island Middle School is that of school mascot. Jake is the LIMS Cougar and rallies students during athletic games and ceremonies at the school.  And on Friday, Nov. 8 at 1 p.m., Jake will lead the opening ceremony for Lady’s Island Middle School’s Veterans Day assembly.\r\n\r\nPrincipal Mona Lise Dickson and Assistant Principal Gregory Hall believe there is no one better suited for this prestigious duty. And, the public is invited to attend to, not only celebrate and show allegiance to our veterans, but also give thanks to Giammatteo.\r\n\r\n“Jake stood up for what he believed in, and he did so positively and productively. He demonstrated persistence and communicated with clarity and precision. We are proud of Jake,” says Mona Lise Dickson.\r\n\r\nJake Giammatteo is a hero and a statesman, even at the age of 10. He followed protocol for change and got it. He deserves thanks from all those represented within the Beaufort County School District.\r\n\r\nJake is the proud grandson of USMC Korean War Veteran, Sgt. Robert F. Pelosi, and two of his cousins are active duty soldiers. USMC Sgt. Ryan Mason is stationed at MCAS Beaufort, and USMC Cpt. Scott Mason is stationed at Parris Island. Both cousins served in Afghanistan.\r\n\r\nJake is the second son of Joan and Guy Giammatteo. His siblings are Tyler, Gage and Emmajay. The family lives on Lady’s Island.\r\n\r\n<strong>OTHER VETERANS DAY EVENTS:</strong>\r\n\r\n<b>• All Beaufort County offices will be closed Monday, November 11, in observance of Veterans Day. </b>\r\n\r\n<b>• The Veterans Day Parade begins at 9:30 a.m. on Monday, Nov. 11, through the streets of downtown Beaufort.

(13766, 4, '2013-11-14 01:05:43', '2013-11-14 06:05:43', '<b>By Celia Strong</b>\r\n\r\nAs we plow into the holidays at full speed, we need to talk about turkey wines. Specifically, wines that go with turkey (not wines that come from Turkey. There is always one person who thinks that’s what “turkey wines” are, and that person is always ready with “I didn’t know there were wines from Turkey!” comments. I have learned to just keep moving on, after I chuckle a bit.)\r\n\r\nWhat I thought would be good this year is to review some good white wine choices this week, and some good red wine choices next week. That way we have time to go over more than a couple of each. And, that way everyone has more options for their own tables. Don’t forget, Thanksgiving is a whole long weekend of eating, shopping, visiting, traveling.  Options and choices are good things — it is a LONG weekend.\r\n\r\nNow, in alphabetical order, (because we had to have some order) we can start our white wine list.\r\n\r\n<b>Bertrand Picpoul de Pinet</b> is a wine from the Languedoc area in southeastern France. Picpoul is the short name for the grape, and you may remember from when we talked about it before, this name comes from the “Old French” word for lip pucker. (Hint, hint, this is a dry, dry wine, with lemon, apple and mineral flavors.) Pucker. The Bertrand Picpoul is slightly fuller bodied than other Picpouls, so it is better suited to go with a plate full of turkey, dressing, and all the rest. It is also dry enough to pair well with ham, and refreshing enough for you to keep sipping on it all weekend. At $9.99, this wine can help many of us get through the LONG. (I like my new nickname for this weekend: LONG.)\r\n\r\n<b>Blindside</b> is a new wine that we haven’t talked about before. It comes from the ever popular Orin Swift group of wines. It is a California blend of 35 percent Chardonnay, 60 percent of Rhône varietals, still grown in California (Viognier, Roussane, Marsanne and Grenache Blanc), and 5 percent aromatic grapes (Semillon and Riesling). As is the Orin Swift style, this white is full-bodied and rich and smooth textured. And juicy in your mouth. Only in the United States can a wine like this break whatever barriers there are in the wine world. Mixing all these varieties with no regard for laws or traditions. (You know in Europe how the laws, based on centuries of traditions, define and control their wines.). For our uniquely American holiday, what is more perfect than a uniquely American wine?  $24.99.\r\n\r\nA white Côtes-du-Rhône wine has always been one of my first choices for a Thanksgiving white wine. This year, I am sorry to tell you, the <b>Jaboulet Parallèle 45</b> is going to see its last Thanksgiving in South Carolina. (Seems the distributor isn’t going to carry it any more.) But, this wine is special enough to grab a few bottles while they last. Made from 50 percent Grenache Blanc, 20 percent Marsanne, 20 percent Viognier and 10 percent Bourboulenc, this wine is full-bodied with no oak aging. It tastes best with just about 30 or 40 minutes of chilling. Too cold and it just closes in on itself. Yes, of course, there are other white Côtes-du-Rhône wines, really good ones. I just have a soft spot for this one. $15.99.\r\n\r\nFor those of us who have ham, we’ve learned pink wine with pink meat. Right?  We have learned that?  Phew!  <b>Santi Rosé, </b>which is actually a rose of Bardolino wine, comes from northeastern Italy. It is made mostly from the Corvina grape. This wine is, first, a lovely shade of pink. But, its flavors of red berries and flowers with crisp acidity have made it very popular for many years. It is light and clean and crisp and refreshing. Just right for balancing the saltiness of the ham and still good with the turkey meat also. Well chilled, it tastes even better.  $10.99.\r\n\r\nAnother good choice, from the same part of Italy, is the <b>Scaia White</b>. Maybe I should call it Bianco, it is Italian after all. Whatever. This wine is fuller bodied, smooth and unctuous. A weight and a texture both to support all the flavors in all your foods. Still dry, just rich too. It is made from Garganega and Chardonnay grapes from the Veneto region. Surprisingly, if you don’t know this is an Italian wine, you can easily mistake it for an American wine. And, for the days after Thanksgiving, this wine will go perfectly with turkey leftovers in cream sauces. Guaranteed to make the leftovers special. For $13.99.\r\n\r\nFrom Washington state, we have our next white wine option. And this one is not only a great tasting wine, but one that is so well priced you can drink much more of it without felling guilty. And serve it to family and friends without feeling guilty. <b>Thorny Rose Pinot Grigio </b>is one of those few wines that comes along every once in a while that is almost too good to believe. But believe it you can. Clean and crisp, medium bodied with peach, pear, citrus flavors and good acidity. Again, dry enough for a ham and flavorful enough for a turkey and dressing. And easy to open screwtop, too. This wine drinks way better than its $5.99 price.\r\n\r\nFrom South Africa comes a great choice for our holiday dinners. The <b>Tormentoso Old Vine Chenin Blanc. </b>This wine comes from 25-year-old vines, and we have talked several times about how old vine grapes have more developed and complex flavors. These are grown on the rocky, wild and windy coast, struggling for their nutrients. Hard work is good for grapes, too.  Fermented in stainless steel tanks, a small bit of this wine is barrel aged and then blended back in with the rest. Vanilla nuances come from the wood. Peach, nectarine, apricots, coconut and flowers are just some of the many flavors. Medium bodied but very sturdy, this wine is such a great example of what Chenin Blanc can be. And, definitely one of my favorite choices. $13.99.\r\n\r\nAnd, last but not least, Scooby Dooby Doo: <b>Uby Colombard-Ugni Blanc</b>. This is a French blend. You, hopefully, remember Ugni Blanc is the grape that is distilled to make Cognac. And the same grape that is called Trebbiano in Italy where it is used also to make balsamic vinegars. Both the Colombard and the Ugni Blanc are fairly neutral grapes, mellow and not too distinctive in their flavors or textures. Makes the blend just right to balance the abundance of flavors and textures on Thanksgiving day dinner plates. And makes this wine easy drinking for most of us. (Easy drinking is important for the LONG.) And $9.99 easy price too.\r\n\r\nSo, there we have some choices. Of course, special menus and special friends or family at your table may need special wines. These are some ideas to start you thinking. In the meantime, try re-tasting some of these. Fortification for the LONG. Enjoy.\r\n<div></div>', 'Thanksgiving round up of whites', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'thanksgiving-round-up-of-whites', '', '', '2013-11-14 01:05:43', '2013-11-14 06:05:43', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=13766', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Considered one of the most beautiful and diverse countries on earth, a South Africa safari can be life changing experience.\r\n\r\nSouth Africa’s Kruger National Park is the perfect locale to immerse you into this land of colorful contrasts, and come face to face with nature at its most magnificent. Located in the northeast corner of South Africa, the park is a short flight from the capital, Johannesburg.  Spanning 7,500 square miles with an abundance of wildlife, the park is home to Africa’s Big Five — lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos and cape buffalo.   Within the park, accommodations range from basic campsites to safari lodges, and safari travel can be made by elephant-back, walking or driving.\r\n\r\nMost travelers prefer to stay at the private bush reserves, located along the borders of Kruger National Park.    These conservation-focused reserves offer exceptional levels of luxury, and unparalleled guided bush treks. Reserve owners are committed to conservation and supporting their communities. Sabi Sands, Singita, Ulusaba, Mala Mala and Londolozi are such reserves. Although private, animals travel freely between the National Park and these reserves.  At a private reserve, you don’t have to sacrifice comfort for authenticity.\r\n\r\nStaying at a private reserve has its advantages.  These include maximum freedom of activity, fewer other tourists, off-road driving in the bush, night drives, and five star accommodations. Spend the morning tracking animals through landscapes far removed from civilization, and in the afternoon, enjoy tea or a spa session.   At sunset, enjoy a South African wine on the verandah, watching game converge on the waterhole. You can dine under a panorama of Southern Hemisphere stars, and later, gather around a fireplace to trade tales with other guests.\r\n\r\nDue to the popularity of private reserves, it is a good rule to plan your adventure at least 10 to 12 months in advance.  A safari is an experience that requires special expertise to design, so consultation with a travel professional is recommended.\r\n\r\n<i>Connie Frenzel is a Travel Advisor with Island Travel in Beaufort.

Now, they can use their smartphone to help keep the City of Beaufort clean, safe and attractive.\r\n\r\nSafeBuilt, the company that handles codes enforcement for Beaufort, is promoting use of a smartphone application called Government Outreach. The app lets people share their concerns or complaints about possible code violations, including photos and GPS coordinates, directly from their phone.\r\n\r\n“This is not spying on your neighbors. It is being a concerned citizen,” said Libby Anderson, director of planning for Beaufort.\r\n\r\nFor years, Beaufort’s residents and visitors have reported their concerns about overgrown lots, abandoned homes and vehicles, and suspicious behavior. Some of these concerns are tackled by the Police Department while others go to Codes Enforcement. In the past, these complaints were shared by telephone, letter or in person at City Hall.\r\n\r\nThe Government Outreach application is available for Android and iPhone smartphones. The app lets people remain anonymous or share their contact information with the city.\r\n\r\nNo action is taken by the city or its Codes Enforcement team based only on the complaint or concern. The information is investigated, just as it would be if a Codes Enforcement officer saw the problem during a routine drive, Anderson said.\r\n\r\nThe city encourages people to provide their contact information for follow-up as needed; however, similar to people calling in anonymous tips about crime, neighbors may prefer to remain confidential in their tips about possible code violations. Again, no action is taken simply on the basis of a complaint or concern being shared with the city either through the smartphone app or by other means. An investigation and review of the problem is conducted prior to any citations or other actions, City Manager Scott Dadson said.\r\n\r\n“We are simply providing one more way for people to tell us if they see a problem we need to know about,” Dadson said. “For years and years people have called us, written letters or talked to the city manager or mayor when they thought there was a problem that needed looking into — now we simply add to that the use of smartphone technology.”', 'App touted as tool to keep city clean, safe', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'app-touted-as-tool-to-keep-city-clean-safe', '', '', '2013-11-14 01:14:33', '2013-11-14 06:14:33', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=13778', 0, 'post', '', 0);

The numbers of this increasing epidemic were astounding and showed that it had almost tripled over a seven-year span. I couldn’t help but tear up as I thought of what it could possibly feel like to be without anything, much less a home to call your own, a dry roof over your head or a safe haven of protection for your children. My tears then turned to cries as I remembered so emphatically exactly what it felt like, as I myself was homeless just five short years ago.\r\n\r\nI can vividly remember the dark dirt road that I traveled to get to a place that I called home. The dusty path ran alongside a now defunct railroad which sat parallel to a small graveyard. Beyond the graveyard was an open field that marked the stopping point of my trip. At the end, near the far right of the field, sat an old green\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_13781\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Takiya-37.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-13781\" alt=\"Takiya Smith and her son and daughter are seen in front of the barn where they lived after she escaped an abusive relationship and the family found themselves homeless.\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Takiya-37-300x199.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" /></a> Takiya Smith and her son and daughter are seen in front of the barn where they lived after she escaped an abusive relationship and the family found themselves homeless.[/caption]\r\n\r\n“barn” as my children and I called it. The barn housed two beautiful horses, two dogs, a pond with an alligator, a snake, and my children and myself. Inside the barn were four horse stables, two feed rooms and a tack room. Prior to this, I had never even known what a tack room was, let alone seen one. Yet, due to my current circumstance, this tack room, along with a silver horse trailer situated across from the barn, was now my only place to call home.\r\n\r\nBy day, the children and I prepared and ate meals at a small outdoor sink at the entrance of the tack room and by night we trekked out into the eerie darkness to crawl into the horse trailer to sleep. Thinking back on it, to be honest, I couldn’t tell you which was scarier: the ants and spiders that continuously crawled in and out of the trailer while we slept; the creeks, howls and cracks of unknown things outside the trailer at night; or the lump of fear that rose up in my chest each time we had to wake as a group and exit the trailer to use the bathroom so that no one was alone. It was high summer and nearly every day the sweltering heat drove a water moccasin in through the pipes that lead to the one toilet in the tack room. It actually became quite usual to find it resting peacefully in the bottom of the commode.\r\n\r\nOf all things, the toughest of times are my memories of rainy days when the roof leaked and forced us out of the tack room and forced ants into the trailer, our only place of retreat. Looking back now, the rain seemed to show up at just the right time, washing my tears away and allowing me to cover up my hidden emotions from my son and daughter.\r\n\r\nWe lost so much that year in 2008 — our house, my cars, our clothes, our shoes and the children’s toys. Yet, through all this, ironically, we found a sense of peace. My homelessness was the forgone option of escaping an abusive relationship. Many days I cried at the place we were but most days I smiled at the rejoicing of freedom that I heard in my children’s voices. To them, that field was a huge playground. To them, that barn was a farm. To them, those horses were our pets. To them, mommy was OK, we were together and they were\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_13782\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Takiya-06.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-13782\" alt=\"At right, Takiya with her daughter and son.\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Takiya-06-300x199.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" /></a> At right, Takiya with her daughter and son.[/caption]\r\n\r\nhappy.\r\n\r\nGod has an uncanny way of testing us with the very things we don’t want to deal with. It was never a secret that I was homeless, yet I never told a soul. I didn’t want my children to be taken from me and I didn’t want anyone to pity me. I had spent all my life struggling and fighting the world and everyone in it. I didn’t want a hand up or a hand out but what I did want was for God to prove that He would get me out. As time went on and friends found out, I kept my faith and focus but never intended to share this part of my story. To date, not only have I written about my story in a book but this past week, my children and I revisited that barn.\r\n\r\nThrough a photographer’s eye, my children and I were captured in the very place that I never wanted to be but have come to never want to forget. Before this, the last time my children and I took family photos was just months before we found ourselves homeless and living at the barn. The minute I was asked about a location to shoot our photos, it was without thought or hesitation that I said “the barn.” There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t remember that place nor is there a minute that I am not humbled at each waking moment of this life I have been given. It’s as if my secret has turned into the very heartbeat of who I am. I write about my life, I talk about my life, I blog about my life — I can’t seem to get enough of telling people about my life. Isaiah 61:3 says that God would “give unto them beauty for ashes.” It seems rightfully fitting to say that He has traded my ashes for beauty in which to share with you.\r\n\r\nI have found it to be so true that a picture can speak a thousand words. It echoes the past, whispers the present and shouts out the future. I have heard, I’m listening and I hear.\r\n\r\nThank you to the phenomenal talent of Kristi James Photography (www.kristijamesphotography.com) for capturing this place that I never want my children to forget but to always remember.\r\n\r\n<i>Takiya La’Shaune Smith, licensed cosmetologist, mentor and owner of Beautique Lash &amp; Brow, is an author and beauty columnist promoting inner and outer beauty, self-esteem, preservation and awareness.  Follow her blog at www.blb¬boutiques.com find her on Facebook at www.facebook.com/TakiyaLSmith, email her at Takiya@Takiya-LaShaune.com or contact her at 843-263-0426.</i>\r\n<div><i> </i></div>', '‘Beauty for ashes’', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'beauty-for-ashes', '', '', '2013-11-14 01:18:30', '2013-11-14 06:18:30', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=13780', 0, 'post', '', 0),

It’s the same story for bees — almost. Their health is being compromised by particularly deadly viruses and parasites and the “fridge is empty” thanks to monocultures, herbicides, and the loss of traditional farming. But here’s where the story diverges from a case of the flu. The food they find is often contaminated with pesticides that are neurotoxins, chemicals that may be responsible for the bee becoming disorientated or dying outright. Europe has decided on a limited two year ban on these chemicals.\r\n\r\nMarla Spivak quoted a Penn State University study in a recent speech. The study found that all pollen tested indicated contamination with at least six types of toxins, insecticides, herbicides, or even inert or unlabeled chemicals, some of which are considered more deadly than the known chemical components. Yet Dennis vanEngelsdorp, Acting State Apiarist (beekeeper) for Pennsylvania Department of Agricultural, points out that “some hives with high levels of pesticide are thriving.”\r\n\r\nThere is no one clear answer to the problem.\r\n\r\nNo matter the cause, we can’t afford to be self-indulgent and self-focused anymore when it comes to our food supply. We know we need bees, but what can any of us do?\r\n\r\n• Dennis vanEngelsdorp advises us all to, “Make meadows not lawns.” He notes that 11% of all pesticide use goes towards keeping our lawns up, and 5% of all greenhouse gases are produced by mowing lawns.\r\n\r\n• Campaign to have flowers planted in public places and along roadways.\r\n\r\n• Buy local honey, and therefore support the beekeepers who are paying the immediate cost for the die-offs (According to the Huffington Post, CCD has wiped out some 10 million hives worth $2 billion dollars over the past six years.)\r\n\r\n• Marla Spivak asks us to think before we buy or use a pesticide: “Do I really need this? What’s in this stuff? Does it kill bees?”\r\n\r\n• Create a landscape the supports bees on your property. Research what plants bees in your area prefer, or just watch a plant for a few seconds at your local nursery before buying it. Are their bees on it? If so, buy it. After, of course, you check if the plant has been pre-treated with any potentially bee-killing pesticide.\r\n\r\n• Get kids involved with bees online through www.classroomhives.org.\r\n\r\n• Involve yourself in the Great Sunflower Project. Simply plant a sunflower (Lemon Queen variety) and once it blooms, watch your sunflower for 30 minutes twice a month and count the number of bees that visit it. Next step? Record the information for use in a nationwide bee population survey. This is a great classroom or community project.\r\n\r\n• Encourage your congress person to include land conservation (and incentives) in the farm bill again, so that marginal land surrounding corn fields, etc., isn’t emptied of the wildflowers and weeds that bees need.\r\n\r\nPick one please and get involved. No matter your age, what will you tell your grandchildren that you did as various crisis arose in your lifetime — nothing or something?\r\n<div></div>', 'Bees in the news: Part II', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'bees-in-the-news-part-ii', '', '', '2013-11-14 01:19:14', '2013-11-14 06:19:14', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=13784', 0, 'post', '', 0),

In the box was a 4-week-old puppy with a wire wound tightly around his front right leg, which, because of the wire, was dead and rotting. Palmetto Animal League removed the leg and saved the pup’s life.  Then found him a loving home. This is just one of their hundreds of successful pet adoption stories.</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Who:</b> Amy Campanini, president of Palmetto Animal League (PAL), Beaufort County’s only no-kill animal adoption center.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_13792\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"193\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Profile-PALS-Amy-Campanini.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-13792\" alt=\"Amy Campanini is the president of the Palmetto Animal League.\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Profile-PALS-Amy-Campanini-193x300.jpg\" width=\"193\" height=\"300\" /></a> Amy Campanini is the president of the Palmetto Animal League.[/caption]\r\n\r\nPAL opened its first adoption center on October 30, 2010, after eight years of managing a network of loving foster families to house and care for Beaufort County’s abandoned and homeless animals. The Adoption Center, which includes living space for approximately 150 adoption ready cats and dogs, serves as headquarters for the league’s operations. They offer animals a friendly, comfortable, low-stress environment which encourages humans to visit, adopt, volunteer and get involved. Their new 7,700-square-foot building is located in Riverwalk Business Park in Okatie.\r\n\r\nAmy Campanini, a native of Lancaster, Pa., started her adult life as a professionally trained chef as a graduate of Johnson and Wales University.\r\n\r\nSays Amy, “I spent eight years on large private motor yachts as a chef.  It was a unique experience and really expanded my mind.”\r\n\r\nBut in 2001 her direction in life began to change when she started as a volunteer with the Palmetto Animal League rescuing and finding homes for abused, neglected and homeless animals.\r\n\r\nAmy says, “I think it is absolutely morally wrong to round up animals and systematically kill them for no fault of their own. I wanted to be part of stopping that killing. In 2001, I felt there was a huge need ... for a second chance for animals and for their families. It wasn’t defined when I began, I just knew we had to do more.”\r\n\r\nShe became their first director and president of PAL seven years ago in 2006 and has been a major part in building the organization into the success it is today.\r\n\r\n“When I started with PAL we were a foster care organization with no bricks and mortar location so I had limited interaction with the human side of animal sheltering,” Amy said. “When we opened the facility three years ago, I really got to see the people.  It is not what we are led to believe.  The people behind most of these animals are heart broken by their loss of having to give up a pet, losing a pet, not having the resources to care for a pet and it goes on. There are dirt bags (you can choose a better word!) but most of the need we see is genuinely lack of education, awareness and old-fashioned irresponsibility. What I hope we will have some day is a world where all of the animals that need true shelter will find it in every facility that calls itself one.”\r\n\r\nShe adds, “I feel I work for the best company in the world.  Nonprofit work is hard and add homeless animals to the mix and it gets harder.  The people I get to work with every day are amazing and they make what could be a depressing and dreary job an adventure. Every member of our staff, caring for these animals every day, is uniquely made for the job. I witness love, kindness and tenderness for these animals daily and it makes me believe in the basic good nature human beings have. It is not limited to the staff — the volunteers, board, donors and supporters are doing anything and everything they can to help animals. I am filled with gratitude and joy daily. And we have fun! Working with animals and the people who love them teaches you so much about yourself. The animals keep it lively and entertaining every day. They all have different personalities. The stories are endless.”\r\n\r\n<b>Why Beaufort?</b> Amy says, “Twenty years ago, I had the dream to live in a Southeastern small town of historical significance. I landed in Savannah first. Drove through Beaufort on a whim and fell in love. I felt I had come home.  I love the feel, the energy of the town and the strange diversity of the people who choose to make Beaufort their home. And it’s just drop dead gorgeous.”\r\n\r\n<b>The future of PAL: </b>Says Amy, “PAL’s future looks very bright as we bring more and more programs on board for the animals in our community.  This year we launched our Animal Welfare Club so we can educate children of all ages effectively and get them really engaged. I am very excited to announce that our Low Cost Wellness and Spay/Neuter Community Clinic will be opening later this year. I am just happy to be a part of it all. This work keeps me very busy but it is a lifestyle for me. I can barely call it a job.  I get to meet the craziest and most fantastic people. At work, I have an office and building full of animals and go home to a house full of animal love. The present and future are extremely satisfying.”\r\n\r\nConcludes Amy, “We can save all the animals. There’s no reason we can’t work together to save them all. Not only we can, we must.”\r\n\r\n<b>To adopt a loving pet:</b>\r\n\r\nVisit the Adoption Center at 56 Riverwalk Boulevard, Okatie, SC, 29936, open Monday through Saturday, 12 to 7 p.m.\r\n\r\n<b>To donate to the cause:</b>\r\n\r\nSend checks to:\r\n\r\nPost Office Box 539\r\n\r\nBluffton, SC 29910\r\n\r\nOr donate online at www.PalmettoAnimalLeague.org.\r\n\r\n<b>To volunteer:</b>\r\n\r\nPalmetto Animal League relies on animal lovers to help with their life-saving programs.  Some of PAL’s volunteer opportunities include:\r\n\r\n• Foster Parent: Make a difference in the life of an animal by opening your heart and home until they are ready for adoption.\r\n\r\n• Dog Enrichment and Socializing: Keep the dogs in the adoption center healthy and happy by walking, playing and bathing them.\r\n\r\n• Feline Enrichment and Socializing: Keep cats happy, active and social by playing and cuddling with them in the spacious adoption center.\r\n\r\n• Special Events/Adoption Events: Assist by being a Kitty or Dog Ambassador at off-site adoption events or be an ambassador at community events.\r\n\r\n• Administrative: Put talents to work in the adoption center by working at the front desk, meeting and greeting visitors, doing computer work or miscellaneous office activities.\r\n\r\n• Thrift Store: Volunteer at Animal House Thrift.

His doctor put him on oxygen 24/7 and recommended pulmonary rehabilitation to help improve the chronic condition.\r\n\r\n“He wanted me to build up my endurance so it wouldn’t get worse,” Strong said. “I enjoyed going to the Wellness Center so much, I became a member.”\r\n\r\nAt the medically-supervised facility — the only one of its kind in Beaufort — staff members are available to check his oxygen level and blood pressure before and after each workout. They also provide him with a cart equipped with an oxygen tank.\r\n\r\n“I push it around the track when I walk,” Strong said. “When I work out on the machines, I roll it up next to me.”\r\n\r\nThe oldest member of the gym, the near-centenarian serves as an example to others that it’s never to late to start exercising.\r\n\r\n“You look at him and you realize you have no excuses,” said Graham Jones, a clinical exercise physiologist at LifeFit Wellness Center. “Fred can do it all. He may walk a little slower than some of our other members, but he’s very motivated.”\r\n\r\nInspired by Strong’s commitment to exercising, his 70-year-old wife Lois joined the gym and now accompanies him to the Wellness Center every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.\r\n\r\nIn addition to walking and working out on the machines, the couple also participates in Chair Yoga, one of a variety of free classes open to members. Rather than perform the more difficult therapeutic poses of traditional yoga, they focus on deep breathing and meditation.\r\n\r\n“Exercising has helped me maintain my health,” Strong said. “And I enjoy talking with the staff. Everyone is so nice.”\r\n\r\nBut when people ask him the secret to living a long life he tells them: “It’s just three little letters: NSB. Never stop breathing.”\r\n\r\nTo learn more about LifeFit Wellness Center, call 843-522-5635 or visit www.bmhsc.org.\r\n<div></div>', 'LifeFit Wellness Center member turns 99 ', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'lifefit-wellness-center-member-turns-99', '', '', '2013-11-14 01:37:14', '2013-11-14 06:37:14', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=13803', 0, 'post', '', 0),

The new ordinance proposed that portions of Lady’s Island transition to the new form based type of zoning. To ensure the proposed changes were appropriate for the island, the Lady’s Island Community Preservation Committee met, over a period of months, with representatives from the Beaufort County Planning Department and carefully reviewed each proposed change.\r\n\r\nUpon completion it was agreed that the Village Center could benefit from use of the new code and the remainder of the island should retain its present zoning. As the review was being conducted, it became obvious that our present zoning, which was originally developed in 1997 and has served the island well for the last 16 years, needed a close evaluation to ensure it was ready for the challenges of the next decade.  In the process of evaluating Lady’s Island present zoning, some basic questions arose to which there did not appear to be simple answers. Here are a few examples of such questions.\r\n\r\n<b>Why has the amount of traffic on Lady’s Island roads decreased?</b>\r\n\r\nEach year the South Carolina Department of Transportation checks the volume of traffic at key spots on the island and develops an annual average daily traffic number for that portion of road. In the last six years, the daily number of vehicles crossing the Chowan Creek Bridge has dropped by 2,500. With the exception of one spot on Sams Point Road which has seen a small increase, the volume of daily traffic on each of Lady’s Island’s roads is decreasing each year. As to the volume of traffic using the bridges to leave or enter Lady’s Island, the amount of daily bridge traffic peaked in 2006 and has declined each following year.\r\n\r\n<b>Why has the student population in Lady’s Island schools declined?</b>\r\n\r\nIn 2006 the number of children attending Lady’s Island public schools reached a peak of 3,433 students; the island’s public school population has declined each year since.\r\n\r\n<b>How many houses have been approved for construction on Lady’s Island but not built and where are they located?</b>\r\n\r\nThere have been 9,608 residential units authorized for construction on Lady’s Island. To date, construction has been completed on 52% (4,998) of these homes leaving the island faced with a potential growth, without approving another single residential unit, of 4,574 homes.\r\n\r\nSigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis, is attributed with the famous saying: “Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar” — implying that everything does not have deep a meaning. Without attempting to explain the reason or cause, some of the simple facts which must be taken into consideration when planning for the future of Lady’s Island are:\r\n\r\n• Since 2006 the residents of Lady’s Island, St. Helena Island, Fripp Island and Harbor Island are significantly reducing the average number of vehicle trips taken each day and, of those taking to the road, fewer are choosing to leave Lady’s Island.\r\n\r\n• Lady’s Island is approved for the construction of enough homes to almost double its present population and the majority of them will be located in the northern part of the island.\r\n\r\n• The number of children attending public schools on Lady’s Island has declined each year since 2006 and 50% of the island’s public schools, this school year, have an excess of capacity.\r\n\r\nUnder no circumstances is this intended to imply that efforts will not be made to determine the cause for the reduction in traffic and public school students or how to best cope with the number of homes approved for construction, but it is offered that these are facts which must be acknowledged without any illusions.', 'Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'sometimes-a-cigar-is-just-a-cigar', '', '', '2013-11-14 01:39:27', '2013-11-14 06:39:27', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=13808', 0, 'post', '', 0),
(13810, 4, '2013-11-14 01:40:23', '2013-11-14 06:40:23', '<b>By Martha Cooper-Hudson</b>\r\n\r\nAre some people born destined for greatness and others for mediocrity? Is great success and achievement determined by genetics and inborn talent?\r\n\r\nThe simple answer is “no.” Greatness can be attained by everyone. We all have the potential to be great. Any man can be great if he makes up his mind to be the best person he can possibly be and to do what he does, the best way he can possibly do it.\r\n\r\nThe secret to attaining greatness is simply to do every small thing in a great way. It is the nature of all success principles to be overly simplistic and basic. That is what makes them so true and yet so hard to accept and do. Their simplicity means that they often cannot be reduced to any simpler statement. It is like Albert Einstein’s E=MC². It takes a whole lot of thinking and meandering to come up with the principle. But once it is found, it is so obvious and so simple.\r\n\r\nSo what makes for excellence?  Tiger Woods, for instance, seems to have suddenly shot to fame at age 18 when he became the youngest-ever winner of the U.S. Amateur Championship. Few people realize that by that age he had at least 15 years experience and practice playing golf. That’s not something the press will tell you often. In this fast food, fast service, instant communication world we have been fooled into thinking even success and greatness are instant. They are not. Practice and experience take time and effort.\r\n\r\nSo what is greatness and why should you work towards greatness? Greatness, I believe, is the ability to be all that you can possibly be and to bring out the very best in yourself consistently to such an extent that you make a lasting mark in the lives of other people and in the world. “Greatness is not standing above our fellows and ordering them around, it is standing with them and helping them to be all they can be,” said Arthur G. Keough.\r\n\r\nThe potential in every man is such that it cannot be utilized to its full extent without bringing about greatness So as far as why you should work towards greatness is concerned, the simple answer is that you should not work towards greatness as such; instead work towards fulfilling your potential as a human being by performing your simple tasks excellently. Seek to always grow beyond your present barriers and limits and you will inevitably become great.\r\n\r\nMeet the challenges you face head-on and take life on with passion and a quest for excellence. Think outside the box, work harder then everyone else, and be the very best at what you do.  The bottom line is hard work and dedication.\r\n\r\nIt takes no more effort and energy to be great than to be mediocre. It is the application of that effort and energy that matters. You can channel it into more productive pursuits and use of your time or channel it into non-progressive endeavors. If you could buy a Mercedes for the same price as a Toyota, which one would you go for? If you could apply the same amount of energy and effort to greatness as to mediocrity, which would one you go for?\r\n\r\nSimple things like reading, working consistently and practice will make all the difference and help you attain greatness in whatever you choose to do. Nothing happens by chance. Greatness isn’t reserved for a preordained few. It is available to you and to everyone.\r\n\r\nGod desires that you be great. The Psalmist said of Him: “Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.”\r\n\r\nGo ahead, I challenge you to be great!

This day her tail was dragging.  We headed home immediately and I ended up carrying her the last third of the way.\r\n\r\nPain is one of the most enigmatic of all the disease symptoms, especially when dealing with an animal that can’t talk to us, tell us where or when it hurts.  Pain is a language that tells us something is wrong. Ordinary or acute pain is a barometer of tissue health. Much like the Check Engine light on your car’s dashboard, pain is your dog’s way of telling you to pay attention. Most areas of a dog’s body have pain sensors — the joints and areas around the vital organs have more. The pads of the feet, relatively free.\r\n\r\nDogs with pain will likely indicate that they are suffering by giving you clues. Changes in behavior are usually the first indicator. Licking and yawning are signs that a dog is nervous. Dogs who hurt do not want to be picked up, or even touched, so they may lick their lips or yawn when you approach. They’re typically restless; they will pace; be up and down; can’t sleep; and they can’t seem to get comfortable in one position.  Some dogs may hide or act aggressively grouchy. Fear biting is common in dogs that hurt. Others may whine or want to be held. The night before my guest’s tail-dragging moment, she just could not get comfortable. I suspected then that something might not be right, but she remained cheerful, finally settling down.\r\n\r\nPain anywhere in the feet, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments or spinal column may cause the dog to have a noticeable limp. However, some dogs are so adept at compensation (learning to accept pain so they can continue to function), it might be difficult to detect an abnormal gait pattern. Only once we returned home from the walk did I begin to notice that my guest was not putting complete weight on one of her back feet.  She wasn’t exactly limping, letting only her toes touch when she stepped. If I hadn’t been watching carefully, I would not have noticed anything was wrong.\r\n\r\nPained animals stand off center, carry their head or tail off center or sit or lie down only on one side.  Dogs with knee or hip pain will “bunny hop” or they may “puppy sit” — a posture where they’ll sit on their butts with hind legs to the side. Dogs experiencing abdominal pain are reluctant to move. They may reuse to eat or moan or bite at their abdomens.  Their pain may be accompanied by diarrhea or vomiting.  Chest pains may cause shortness of breath and possibly increased heart rate.\r\n\r\nThere is evidence from human medical studies that preventing pain is more productive than trying to stop it, that pain diminishes the body’s ability to heal and that recovery can be encouraged with the addition of pain relievers.  We know from humans that beginning pain prevention early, before pain begins, is more effective than trying to catch up once the pain has started.  With our animals, it is important to be sensitive to minor changes in behavior or small adjustments in their approach to life so we can help them before pain takes control.\r\n\r\nMy guest is feeling better today.  She has been taking an NSAID (more on this next time), some homeopathic remedies (Arnica and Bryonia), some flower remedies (Rescue and Agrimony) for the mental distress, and I’ve tucked some lavender into her bedding.  I have gently massaged her affected hip and when we cuddle she’s allowed me to tuck a warmed rice bag against her leg.  Earlier today while she was helping me do some yard work, I noticed her tail was up again, wagging in response to something dead in the driveway.  She’s feeling better, I can tell.\r\n<div></div>', 'A world of hurt', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'a-world-of-hurt', '', '', '2013-11-14 01:43:34', '2013-11-14 06:43:34', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=13815', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Her Island Seafood Supreme soup — shrimp, crab, clams and fish in a seafood cream stock — was excellent. She also ordered the Asian Tuna salad that was piled high with colorful ingredients such as cucumbers, greens, tomatoes, mandarin oranges, red onions, and topped with thin pieces of tuna. She said it tasted as good as it looked.\r\n\r\nElizabeth ordered the Mahi BLT — blackened Mahi Mahi with crisp lettuce, tomato, bacon with Cajun remoulade on a crusty baguette. The sandwich was so delicious, with perfectly cooked fish and just the right amount of remoulade to give a kick without being overwhelming.\r\n\r\nI also tried a seafood dish in the form of the Mahi Mahi Fish Tacos.

Local Merry Maids owner Bob Cunningham offers the following checklist to help keep you on track.\r\n\r\n<b>The Table</b>\r\n\r\n• Put silver or silver plated pieces that need polishing in an aluminum pan or a pan lined with aluminum foil, and sprinkle liberally with baking soda. Then pour boiling water over everything and let it sit. The tarnish will magically float right off your silver.\r\n\r\n• Good wine glasses should not be washed in the dishwasher, but if you want to give them a spot-free sparkle in a hurry, fill them with steam from your kettle, then buff with a lint-free towel.\r\n\r\n• Roll or hang linens after they’ve been laundered to avoid wrinkles. If  they are already wrinkled and dryer safe, toss them in the dryer with a wet washcloth on the medium setting for about a half hour (it’s still less than five minutes hands-on time). Otherwise, try steaming them in the bathroom.\r\n\r\n• Nothing like putting a glass or a cloth napkin away, only to pull it out a year later and find you missed a lipstick stain. On fabric, try blotting with rubbing alcohol, gentle dishwashing detergent or ammonia (make sure you’re working in a well-ventilated space), then blot with cold water. Spritzing hairspray on the stain can also work. Consider doing a swatch test first, just to be sure. On cups and stemware, rub the smudge with salt to remove the stain.\r\n\r\n<b>The Guestroom</b>\r\n\r\n• Make up the rooms where your guests will sleep in advance of their arrival with clean, fresh bed linens and towels, plenty of hangers and some dedicated space in closets and drawers.\r\n\r\n• During the holidays, make sure the guest room is thoroughly dusted from ceiling to floor and carefully vacuumed. Don’t miss light fixtures, lampshades, bookshelves or under furniture. You never know when you might have drop-in house guests.\r\n\r\n• Stock a basket with a travel toothbrush and toothpaste as well as any other toiletries a guest might need. This serves the dual purpose of making them feel welcome and keeping them from poking around in search of the things they need.\r\n\r\n• Other small, thoughtful touches like fresh flowers on the nightstand might make up for anything you’ve missed.\r\n\r\n<b>Common Areas</b>\r\n\r\n• Your entryway is the first thing your guests will see, so make sure it gives a positive first impression. Update worn or tattered mats, and shine the door knob. Make sure the foyer is as clutter-free as possible and that your guests have ample space and sturdy hangers on which to hang their coats. Dust the light fixtures and replace any missing bulbs.\r\n\r\n• Even if you only have five minutes to do a quick once-over, a little vacuuming is better than no vacuuming at all. If you have 10 minutes, go over the room with a microfiber cloth or magnetic duster, then vacuum.\r\n\r\n• Stash some spray carpet cleaner or club soda, a roll of paper towels, or a microfiber cloth and ready mop somewhere that’s easily accessible to your party area. That way, when stains happen (and they will), you can quickly take care of them and move on with the festivities.\r\n\r\nFor more information, please contact Merry Maids of Beaufort at 843-522-2777 or Like them on Facebook.\r\n<div></div>', 'Prepare for holidays with cleaning checklist', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'prepare-for-holidays-with-cleaning-checklist', '', '', '2013-11-14 01:53:14', '2013-11-14 06:53:14', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=13830', 0, 'post', '', 0),

This is an introductory class on the basics of glass fusing. You will learn how to cut glass and assemble glass into a “Sea Glass” pattern that will be fused into a 10” round bowl that you can take home and use. Glass fusing is the process of using a kiln to join together pieces of glass with heat. Glass will soften at 1000°F and become fluid at 1500°F and fuse together. When the right kind of glass is heated and then cooled properly, the resulting fused glass piece will be solid and unbroken.  All students must wear closed toe shoes! Safety equipment and glass cutting tools will be supplied. This is a one-day, 2 1/2 hour class. Classes are 6:30 to 9 p.m., and tuition includes all materials and kiln time: $75 payable to Gregorie Glass during class. Email greg.rawls@hargray.com to register. Your instructor is Greg Rawls, an accomplished glass artist whose work can be seen in fine art galleries throughout the southeast. He has won awards at the Piccolo Spoleto Festival in Charleston and won the 2012 Cooper River Bridge Run poster competition with an entry made of glass. He showed “SEA GLASS” and “Quilt of Humanity” at ArtWorks in Beaufort and at ArtPrize in Grand Rapids, Michigan, finishing in the Top 100 out of 1,500 worldwide submissions. gregorieglass.com.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<b>Kim Weitkamp &amp; Tellabration at ARTworks</b>: On Friday, November 22, local youth storytelling troupes join a nationally-touring teller for Tellabration.

Looking at trend data, the number of schools rated Good or Excellent has increased from seven in 2009 to 19 in 2013 (25 percent to 61 percent).  The district uses 2009 as the base year for longer-term comparisons because South Carolina adopted a new statewide testing system for all students in grades 3-8.\r\n\r\nEach South Carolina school and district receives a rating — Excellent, Good, Average, Below Average or At-Risk — based on student test scores.  Rating formulas are based on student achievement levels set by the Education Oversight Committee, created by the General Assembly to guide implementation of South Carolina’s Education Accountability Act of 1998.\r\n\r\nBeaufort County’s 2013 ratings were boosted by generally higher elementary and middle school scores on Palmetto Assessment of State Standards (PASS) exams and by improved scores on high school exit and end-of-course exams.  In addition, the district’s four-year “on-time” high school graduation rate continued to improve.\r\n\r\nOverall, the district had eight schools rated Excellent, 11 rated Good, and 12 rated Average.\r\n\r\nSchools rated Excellent were Beaufort High, Bluffton High, Hilton Head Island International Baccalaureate Elementary, Hilton Head Island High, Okatie Elementary, Pritchardville Elementary and Riverview Charter School (elementary and middle grades).  Riverview is viewed as two “separate” schools for Report Card rating purposes because it serves both elementary and middle grades.\r\n\r\nSchools rated Good were Battery Creek High, Beaufort Elementary, Beaufort Middle, Bluffton Elementary, Bluffton Middle, Coosa Elementary, Hilton Head Early Childhood Center, Hilton Head Island School for the Creative Arts, Michael C. Riley Elementary, Port Royal Elementary and Red Cedar Elementary.\r\n\r\nSchools rated Average were Broad River Elementary, H.E.

Seminars followed the testing, providing students an opportunity to learn from the assembled karate masters who made up the testing board.\r\n\r\nChun Kuk Do is an American style of karate founded by Chuck Norris. The United Fighting Arts Federation (UFAF) organizes the study of Chun Kuk Do, and leads more than 90 schools nationwide and internationally. UFAF provides technical standards for instruction, and certifies students and instructors in Chun Kuk Do.\r\n\r\nIn order to obtain their black belts in Chun Kuk Do, the Club Karate students demonstrated their formidable skills before a regional board of high ranking UFAF black belts. Club Karate owner and chief instructor Master Chuck Elias was one of five judges who graded the performance of the black belt hopefuls.\r\n\r\nMelinda Cato took the test alongside her 13-year-old son, Lucas, an eighth grader at Lady’s Island Middle School. Noah Pate, 15, said that Chun Kuk Do helped him learn patience, and gave him the ability to work hard for a goal that he knew would be neither easy nor quick to achieve. Jessica Lehnert said that the stress of the demanding test was counter-balanced by the knowledge that she was well prepared by years of instruction and training.\r\n\r\nFor more information, contact Club Karate at 843-252-7283, or visit www.clubkaratellc.com.', 'Club Karate students advance to black belt', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'club-karate-students-advance-to-black-belt', '', '', '2013-11-14 02:15:06', '2013-11-14 07:15:06', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=13866', 0, 'post', '', 0),

I know, right? Not so easy (until it is) to wrap your brain or your life around that one, is it? Everything, including each one of us, is created in perfection by design and function by a power far greater than our own, therefore everything that occurs in nature, our body and our lives must be perfect. But, what about the imperfect world we live in with the politics, crime, economy, illness and tragedies? Yep, perfect! Just not always pleasant.\r\n\r\nMany folks get stuck on the word perfect because as a culture of contradiction we are driven to try to become the perfect kid, student, spouse, teacher, employee, employer, etc., right alongside the age old belief that “no one is perfect.” And thanks to Martha Stewart, we have those overachievers who try to exceed perfectionism in everything they do while looking perfect doing it.\r\n\r\nIn an earlier time, I was a practicing perfectionist, until I heard that perfectionists are actually im-perfectionists in that they judge everything as not being good enough ... ouch! Now my house is perfect with the “lived in” look surrounded by the “natural” growth in my yard.\r\n\r\nWhen it comes to our body and our health, since we are designed in perfection, every sign and symptom is a perfect response to one or more things such as bacteria or virus, an injury, a toxin, a lifestyle choice, or some other interference that interrupts the function of our original design. This is where the “not so pleasant” part comes in because it is hard to grasp the idea that a headache or back pain or an illness is actually perfect.  But when we can come to terms with that concept, it becomes easier to dig in without judgment, and bring it back around to find our strength to grow and heal. We can move out of the “this happened to me” mentality into “this happened for me” to wake up and do things differently than I was doing before the symptom or illness occurred. This is the power of perfection.\r\n\r\nNow, what about life and all that is happening in our world?  Our individual brains can’t begin to comprehend the vastness of the perfection of what is happening globally when we see storms take out tens of thousands and leveling entire towns or countries or an economy that leaves innocent folks homeless while creating wealth for others. But in these microcosms of folks, no doubt there is growth, strength and community healing, like no other that we can comprehend.  And when life hits us personally and locally with a tragic accident, murder, suicide, divorce or loss of a child, have you noticed how people come out of nowhere to offer support with a meal, childcare or a simple hug?  As the days, weeks and months go by we marvel at the courage of those affected the hardest as they begin to heal and find a new way for living under brand new circumstances. This is the power of perfection.\r\n\r\nI invite you to begin to see everything that occurs in your daily life experience through the lens of Divine perfection without judgment of being good or bad, right or wrong, but rather the idea that it is just what happened “for” me not “to” me. Allow yourself a few seconds to take a deep breath to cultivate an empowered response, a creative solution or a conscious decision to simply do nothing at all. Avoiding the victim trap or the over-reaction response actually saves time and energy by not having to dig ourselves out of another pit. But if you do fall in, it’s perfect. How do we know? Because it is exactly what happened! And there will be many more opportunities to try again.\r\n\r\nLive Well ...

Farr, M.D.</b>\r\n\r\nNot everyone will develop diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, macular degeneration, glaucoma or other diseases over the course of their lifetime.  However, most everyone who lives long enough will develop cataracts in their eyes. Cataracts are a natural progression of aging. A cataract is not a separate growth; it is formed as protein within the natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy with time.  Although there can be congenital cataracts and other causes, such as trauma, the majority of cataracts are due to aging.\r\n\r\nThe only way to correct a cataract is to have it surgically removed.  Once cataracts cause decreased vision that starts to interfere with normal day to day activities, most insurances and/or Medicare pay for the surgical removal of the cataracts. A person’s quality of life is greatly enhanced when their cataracts are removed.\r\n\r\nOne of the most important considerations when having cataract surgery is choosing a skilled and highly qualified ophthalmologist to perform the surgery.  When an ophthalmologist removes the cataract, they also remove the eye’s lens; therefore, an artificial lens must be inserted to allow the eye to focus properly. Advanced technology gives the patient life-changing choices to correct vision with a replacement lens:\r\n\r\n<b>• Multifocal Lens:</b> This lens provides freedom from glasses for a majority of normal daily activities. The goal is to allow driving, watching TV, playing tennis, golfing, swimming, working on computer and reading without glasses.\r\n\r\n<b>• Astigmatic or Toric Lens:</b> Designed for patients with astigmatism, this lens provides good distance vision without glasses for active lifestyles such as golfing, playing tennis, swimming, biking, watching TV, etc. Reading glasses or “cheaters” will be needed for near vision. However, there is a Multifocal Toric lens that is in development.\r\n\r\n<b>• Monofocal Lens:</b> Glasses are usually required after surgery for distance, intermediate and near vision.\r\n\r\nThere are few things that are more important than your vision. Do not make a quick decision about your lens based solely on costs. If you are a candidate for an advanced lens replacement, you are in a very fortunate position to be about to choose to see well again without glasses or contacts.  Talk to your doctor about the options that are available to you.\r\n\r\nCataract surgery is an excellent opportunity to have the eyesight you have been missing.  The lens you choose will be with you the rest of your life so select one that fits your lifestyle.\r\n\r\n<i>Dr. Kenneth Farr is the Medical Director of Palmetto Eye Specialists, with offices in Hilton Head Island, Bluffton, Beaufort and Ridgeland.

The suite was an instant success but the ballet took much longer to gain popularity.  It was not performed outside of Russia until 1934, and debuted in this country 10 years later. Today it is one of the season’s most beloved entertainment traditions.\r\n\r\n<b>Four most popular Christmas songs were not written for the holidays</b>\r\n\r\nThe second portion of the concert will celebrate the season with a wonderful mix of traditional compositions going back to the 1800’s.<b> “Jingle Bells”</b> is one of the most internationally recognizable secular holiday songs ever written — but originally it was a Thanksgiving song called “One Horse Open Sleigh” written in 1857 by James Lord Pierpont.  He reprinted it two years later under the “Jingle Bells” title.\r\n\r\n<b>“Sleigh Ride”</b> is another song that was not written for the holiday but has become one of the top 10 most popular pieces of Christmas music worldwide.  Written as an instrumental by Leroy Anderson in 1946, the lyrics were added by Mitchell Parish several years later.  <b>“Carol of the Bells”</b> is based on traditional Ukrainian folk music associated with the coming of the New Year, which in pre-Christian Ukraine took place with the coming of spring.  The original composition was written in 1916. It gained popularity with Western audiences in the 1920’s, and an alternate English version, “Ring Christmas Bells,” with more Nativity-based lyrics was introduced in 1947. <b>“Winter Wonderland”</b> is regarded as a Christmas song although the holiday is never mentioned in the lyrics. Richard Smith was inspired to write the lyrics in the early 1930’s after seeing a park covered in snow.  He showed them to a composer friend, Felix Bernard, who wrote the music in 1934 and the song quickly became a holiday classic.\r\n\r\n<b>Hebrew folk song well known by Jews and non-Jews alike</b>\r\n\r\n<b>“Hava Nagila”</b> is a Jewish traditional folk song that has become as well known by non-Jews as it is in the Jewish community. Translated from Hebrew, it means “Let us rejoice” and was probably composed by Abraham Zevi Idelsohn, known as the father of Jewish musicology, in 1918.\r\n\r\n<b>Mysterious train ride to the North Pole</b>\r\n\r\nA contemporary Christmas favorite for orchestras is <b>“The Concert Suite from The Polar Express,”</b> the title song to an animated movie based on a book written in 1985 by Chris Van Allsburg. Award-winning film and television composer and conductor, Alan Silvestri, composed the music for the film, which debuted in 2004. Since then it has become a traditional favorite.\r\n\r\n<b>Famous medley of Christmas songs</b>\r\n\r\nA famous work against which all other Christmas medleys are judged is<b> “A Christmas Festival.”</b>  Written by Leroy Anderson in 1950, it is an amazing arrangement of many favorite Christmas tunes, including “Joy to the World,” “Deck the Halls,” “Silent Night” and “Adeste Fideles” among many others.\r\n\r\n<b>Finale of Holiday Sing-Alongs</b>\r\n\r\nThe concert will end with an audience sing-along program of several season favorites to send you home filled with the spirit of the holidays.

The public/private partnership is envisioned to spur new economic growth in the western end of downtown Beaufort’s retail district and to create new draws for area residents. Jim Chaffin is a former board member at Historic Beaufort Foundation.\r\n\r\n“This is an exciting step forward for the city,” Beaufort Mayor Billy Keyserling said. “There’s a lot of work ahead, and a lot of public input will be needed, but this team is fully capable of helping us reach our goals.\r\n\r\nThe approximate four-acre parking lot site is between Bay Street and the Beaufort River. It is adjacent to the city-owned Downtown Marina, three public parks, and the downtown shopping and entertainment district.\r\n\r\n“I am happy to see this project move forward, especially with such a strong development team working hand in hand with us and the Redevelopment Commission,” said City Councilman Mike McFee.  “This is a vital location for Beaufort for our economic growth and as one of the key entry points to our Historic District.”\r\n\r\nFurman has provided comprehensive solutions in real estate for over 125 years. The partnership includes Chaffin/Light, a company that has developed lifestyle and resort communities in many states, including Spring Island and Chechessee Creek Club in southern Beaufort County.\r\n\r\n“The completed project will represent a comprehensive effort in public-private partnership involving the developer team, City of Beaufort and the community stakeholders, a three-way relationship of success encompassing economic, social and environmental factors. We haven’t begun to sketch out any concepts yet. We want to hear what the local market says first,” said Steve Navarro, president of The Furman Co.\r\n\r\nThe Beaufort Redevelopment Commission last spring sought letters of interest from private developers interested in working on the marina lot project.\r\n\r\n“We’ve done a lot of work in a short amount of time to get to this point,” said Jon Verity, chairman of the Redevelopment Commission. “With the firm selected and the Memorandum of Understanding signed, now it’s time to take the next steps and to build in opportunities for public input at regular intervals.”\r\n\r\nThe text of the MOU can be found online at www.cityofbeaufort.org on the Planning Department’s page.\r\n\r\nBeaufort City Councilwoman Donnie Beer said the city will use this redevelopment to address public parking. “For years parking has been a concern for merchants in our downtown area,” Beer said. “As we begin with the marina development, we are looking at some fresh opportunities to improve parking.

(13915, 4, '2013-11-21 08:27:03', '2013-11-21 13:27:03', '<b>By Martha Cooper-Hudson</b>\r\n\r\nWhen people look at me, they can see a successful, confident, articulate, well put together woman who has it all by society’s standards — the husband, the children, a beautiful home, the success, etc. What they don’t know is the story and the journey I had to travel to get there.\r\n\r\nI was challenged by a very dear friend as she was interviewing me last Thursday for her talk radio show called “Destine to Bloom,” to tell the world about my journey, to open my book and be transparent to let women know that discovering who I AM was a bumpy road that had tons of distractions, bumps, mountains, tears, and failures on it.  But because of Jesus, desire, and determination, I am today who he says I AM.\r\n\r\nAs a little girl who was born and raised in the projects by a single mother who had a sixth grade education, the odds were already stacked against me. I was a girl who was withdrawn and shy because of my speech impediment (severe stutterer).  I was a very smart girl who loved to read but ironically no one knew that because I would never read aloud or talk too much because of my peers and classmates who would laugh and make fun of me.\r\n\r\nI became more isolated and withdrawn over the years until I reached fourth grade and my life changed.  My fourth grade teacher, Mrs. Eula Mason-Berry, would make me read out loud even if it took me all day to accomplish that task. She said to me the words that would forever frame my life: “The race is not won by the swift or the fast, but by those who endure until the end” and “Do not ever allow someone else opinion of you to become your reality.”  From that day forward, an eaglet was born soon to transform into the eagle I am today, but not without distractions, trials, and failures.\r\n\r\nFor the next 11 years, my life was full of emotional abuse that came by way of my stepfather — an alcoholic who would tell me and my brother when he was drunk that we would be nothing, have nothing, or never amount to anything.  My mother would always combat those words by telling us that we were created for greatness and that we would become the person that God created us to be. It was hard for my subconscious and conscience mind to distinguish the difference between the two, and at one point in my life I believed everything my stepfather said to me because nothing in my life was going right.\r\n\r\nBecause of my good grades in high school, I was awarded a full academic scholarship to Florida A&amp;M University.  Well, that did not last long because I was put on academic suspension due to my failing grades at the end of my freshman year. I returned home to the sounds of “I told you so,” “you will never be anything,” “you will only have a mediocre life” at best, if I was lucky.\r\n\r\nI became a rebellious Eagle trapped in a cage that needed to break out.  I needed to find a way to break this cycle and discover the I AM ... in me. That is when I opened up the No. 1 book in my life, The Bible, and started to read about who I was. I started to read words such as, “I know the plan I have for you, plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.”  I became a personal development junkie, reading and speaking only positive things into my life.  Not accepting negative words into my life, I started to guard my heart with all diligence, only speaking, seeing, hearing, and imagining the life that I would one day have. I was inspired by books such as “Live Your Dream” and “It’s Not Over Until You Win” by Les Brown, “Think Big” by Dr. Ben Carson, anything by John C. Maxwell, “Hung by the Tongue” and “Think and Grow Rich,” just to name a few.\r\n\r\nI left my negative life behind in 1994, when I relocated to a place where I knew no one, and that place was Orangeburg, SC. I enrolled in college, completed both my undergraduate and graduate degree from SCSU by 1999 and made a decision that my past will never, ever keep me from the future I was promised.\r\n\r\nFrom that point on, I was destined to bloom. I started to plant my flowers on good soil, I started to water my world with God’s words and positive people. I removed every bad leaf from my life and because of the good seeds that I have sown and watered, the words that God and I have spoken over my life, my plants and trees are bearing good fruits (a great life, daily blessings, supernatural breakthroughs). These have allowed me to realize that I AM a masterpiece, I AM a woman of greatness, I AM beautiful, I AM strong, I AM confident, I AM a child of God, I AM possible, I AM equipped, I AM inspired, I AM motivated, I AM empowered to become the I AM that I was created to be.\r\n\r\nThis is why I am so passionate about helping others across the country to discover the I AM within them, through coaching, workshops, seminars, and Women of Greatness events. I challenge each of you to get rid of the negative things that are holding you back, stop moonwalking over your past, and start focusing on your future as you start to discover your I AM.\r\n\r\nJoin some amazing and awesome women of Beaufort and surrounding areas for our next Classy &amp; Sassy Women Night Out with a Purpose Holiday Extravaganza on December 17 on the Roof Top Loft at the Old Bay Market Place on Bay Street. There will be live jazz music by Greg Whittaker and Kamar, and R&amp;B singer Mahoganee from Atlanta, as well as tons of vendors, great food, networking and empowerment.

(13917, 4, '2013-11-21 08:27:49', '2013-11-21 13:27:49', '<b>By Cherimie Crane Weatherford</b>\r\n\r\nDeadline looms and paralysis invades an otherwise swarming supply of thoughts. Subject matter abounds as life has proven itself quite lively in recent weeks. No lack of irony, comment-worthy occurrences have been beyond common and odd observations of human nature flow as freely the tide. The sudden onset of creative paralysis can only be credited to one new aspect of my life that numbs the very core of being and challenges any and all morsels of normalcy. Stress isn’t the viable nemesis as it has been such a part of my existence that its absence would have more of an effect. First comes love, second comes marriage, then comes sleep deprivation. It is simply the natural order.\r\n\r\nRunners run, Yogis yoga and writers write. It is a physical impossibility for me to write about anything other than what currently occupies my life. Admittedly, diapers of unusual contents, maddening midnight searches for the one and only suitable pacifier, and less than stimulating conversations held in the lobby of the pediatrician’s office might possibly fail to appeal to the masses. However, having had a baby exactly three weeks ago, what occupies my life is complete and utter chaos. It is true that there is no greater gift, I could never deny the love that came with the squeal of a healthy baby girl nor can I deny the effect those squeals have at precisely 3 a.m.\r\n\r\nArguably, my husband and I are of average intelligence — or at least that is what our parents and salesmen say — however, during the 3 a.m. squeals we melt into a sweltering pile of uncertainty topped with insurmountable ignorance.  There is an unexplained difference between daytime diapers and diapers of the night.  In the safety of daylight where the world seems to make a bit more sense, diapers require little effort and, in most cases, no post graduate degree. Yet, as darkness falls, so doth intellect.  Navigating the halls of our home typically poses no physical threat yet one squeal indicating necessary diaper removal morphs our otherwise happy home into a domicile of daunting danger where no man is safe and no woman sane.\r\n\r\nSeemingly innocent tasks shift impressively into arduous undertakings of monumental consequence when slumber fails to fall on tired souls of the parent type. In trying times such as these it is no cliché that you find out who your friends are and our friends come in unsuspecting form. Never have I met the creative being that devised a little lamb that simulates the soothing sea sounds of whales but I am bonded to him or her in a way that can only be expressed after the silencing of the squeals resulting by the sweet performance of said little lamb. Another kindred spirit would be the creators of entertaining infomercials and QVC, for without them 3 a.m. would feel less like home.\r\n\r\nThere are tremendous moments of joy such as stepping into the solace of a nursery that was created and decorated with such hope in anticipation of our new addition while looking down upon the most precious of faces and realizing that it is now my husband’s turn to change what appears to be a most impressive diaper.  It is moments such as this that ease the often tumultuous times of nights with a newborn. There are fleeting moments when sleep sets in just before an alarm sounds as if to remind us that time waits for no one.\r\n\r\nIn moments of panic and disillusionment we find peace in knowing that one day this amazing life change will be able to help with the yard work, run errands, blame us for all her disappointments, drain us financially and blush eternally when Momma and Daddy remind her of incredible talent of filling diapers.\r\n\r\nBe kind if you see us on the streets of this small town. Our hair is unkempt, our eyes sunken, our gait unsure, but our hearts runneth over with a happiness that even sleep deprivation cannot tarnish.', 'First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes sleep deprivation', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'first-comes-love-then-comes-marriage-then-comes-sleep-deprivation', '', '', '2013-11-21 08:27:49', '2013-11-21 13:27:49', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=13917', 0, 'post', '', 0),
(13919, 4, '2013-11-21 08:28:20', '2013-11-21 13:28:20', '<b>By Pamela Brownstein</b>\r\n\r\nI don’t pretend to be an expert on taxes and governmental finances. Millage rates, fiscal year budgets, these sometimes go over my head, but I would like to think I have a basic grasp on spending and the role of the taxpayer.\r\n\r\nMany actions recently taken by the city of Beaufort make me question if funds are being used effectively, especially the project to replace lamp posts downtown. It seems the “candy cane” lamp posts are expensive to fix and maintain. Why wasn’t this addressed when they were first purchased? But now that new ones are being installed, I hope they will find better placements. Have you ever tried to push a stroller down Charles Street? It’s difficult because the lamp posts take up so much of the sidewalk.\r\n\r\nBetween the costs of the Office of Civic Investment and the recent selection of a private developer for the marina parking lot, it feels like there are a lot of unanswered questions when it comes to public involvement and the transparency of public dollars.\r\n\r\nAdd to that the county offering to pay $850,000 for a machine that would attract private businesses, in a deal that may or may not pan out at this point, and it only fuels my skepticism.\r\n\r\nI guess the dollar amount of these projects wouldn’t have bothered me so much if I hadn’t just received a bill in the mail for my property taxes. Under the county’s recent property reassessment, the value of my house has dropped more than $20,000 since I bought it in 2004. (It seems odd anyway that the price of my house has gone down when the safety of the neighborhood and the condition of surrounding homes have only improved, but that’s another story.)\r\n\r\nOK, fine, I understand it’s a difficult real estate market since the recession and many people’s homes were affected during the reassessment. It sucks, but I can accept it. What I’m having a much harder time accepting is the fact that while the value of my house has decreased, my taxes this year have increased by more than $100. What?\r\n\r\nI also understand that my tax bill is not directly linked to city or county projects, but putting them all together creates an interesting dichotomy, one that I find frustrating and frankly makes me lose a little faith.\r\n\r\nLike I said, I’m not an accountant or a financial expert, but when I hear about local governments spending (or some might say wasting, but I won’t go that far) taxpayer’s dollars on projects that deserve more transparency or were not managed properly from the beginning, sometimes it just seems like things don’t add up.', 'When things don’t add up', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'when-things-dont-add-up', '', '', '2013-11-21 08:28:20', '2013-11-21 13:28:20', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=13919', 0, 'post', '', 0),
(13921, 4, '2013-11-21 08:29:10', '2013-11-21 13:29:10', '<b>By Takiya Smith</b>\r\n\r\nHave you ever attempted to try something new, whether it be a look, hairstyle, clothing trend or even a different type of attitude? Well, of course you have. You’re human; a feminine creation of God’s perfect expression of existence in this very Earth! With that being said, in short, we’re women and we love to try new things. We’re driven by the thrill of heels, the excitement of pretty pop colors and enamored by the look of timeless, classic fashion. Or are we all? What about when looking good, dressing a certain way and styling our lives to fit with the “in crowd” isn’t thrilling, dazzling or even gratifying? Could your desire to be “more” cause you to really be “less”?\r\n\r\nWe have all heard the phrase “less is more” and really my question is the same, just reversed to offer you a different perspective. Typically, when being told that less is more, it’s usually in reference to wearing less makeup and highlighting only the features that stand out to accentuate a strong presence. We can even use the phrase in relevance to what one is wearing such as a scent or perfume. Yes, less is definitely more, but how about when looking at our personal character, attitude and image of acceptance?\r\n\r\nI have been tremendously blessed to be the invite, guest and even honoree at many formal events and dinners and one of the key things I notice is that we immediately seek approval from our audience. Everything from the designer name on our gowns down to the color on the bottom of our heels are examined, inspected, scrutinized and weighed in. Our hair, our makeup, our nails and courtesy of it all, even our poor unsuspecting stylists, get tally marks for a job well done or a host of verbal disapprovals and two thumbs down.\r\n\r\nBut who are we doing this all for? Us, them, we, she or he? The answer to that question should be “me”. If you are not going above and beyond for yourself but are over the top for others then it’s quite possible that the more you do for others’ approval, the less you are being true to you. Take time today and even the next outing to wear what YOU want, say what YOU want, be who YOU are and live like YOU want to live. Trying to fit in as a piece of a puzzle will never work when you are already a masterpiece all by yourself.\r\n\r\n<i>Takiya La’Shaune Smith, licensed cosmetologist, mentor and owner of Beautique Lash &amp; Brow, is an author and beauty columnist promoting inner and outer beauty, self-esteem, preservation and awareness.
