(15276, 4, '2014-02-27 08:58:33', '2014-02-27 13:58:33', '<b>By Tracie Korol</b>\r\n\r\nContrary to myth and legend, you are not allergic to your dog’s <i>hair</i>. Dog hair itself is not an allergen. Mostly likely you are allergic to what’s under it or on it. Dander or old skin scales (similar to, only much smaller than, dandruff on the human scalp) constantly sluffs off your dog and into your environment clinging to furniture, draperies and wall coverings. It’s enough to totally creep you out if you think about it in too much detail.\r\n\r\nDander occurs naturally as the epidermis, or the outer layer of skin, renews itself. The epidermis of dogs is quite thin; it is made up of many layers of cells that are constantly pushing upward to replace the cells above. As this process takes place about every 21 days, the outer cells die and flake off into the environment as dander. It has been found, incidentally, that the epidermal turnover is more rapid in breeds that are groomed frequently and especially in breeds that are prone to various forms of dry and oily seborrhea (Cocker and Springer Spaniels, West Highland White Terriers, Irish Setters, to name a few). Dander, being somewhat sticky, attracts dust and pollen thus becoming an allergen triple threat.\r\n\r\nPeople with dog allergies, my son included, have supersensitive immune systems that react to harmless proteins (the allergens) in the dog’s dander, saliva or urine. These proteins can cause nasal congestion, sneezing, itchy and watery eyes, skin rashes, headaches, fatigue, coughing, shortness of breath, wheezing, and serious asthma attacks. This can happen within 5-30 minutes or occur much later as a delayed reaction.  My son maintained a dog-free bedroom but once he appeared in a common area of the house would trumpet his arrival with a series of sneezes — 22 in a row was his personal best and reportedly gave him a nice little high. His symptoms appeared in his teens, only after I built my kennel and the dander-density rose to extraordinary levels. Aah, the irony.\r\n\r\nIf you are unsure you (or your child) is allergic to dogs, yet want to have a dog, you can always go to a doctor and be tested. A cheaper method would be to visit the home of a friend who has a breed you’d like to have and hang around as long as you can. Hug and kiss the dog, rub your nose into its fur, and breath the air in the room where he lives. Let the dog lick your bare skin, especially on your neck (if you are not squeamish) and inside your arms where the skin is more sensitive. You want to test your allergic reaction both to the dander and saliva. This will help you to evaluate your current allergic reaction to that particular breed. Reactions may be delayed, sometimes up to two or three years, so don’t plan on making a decision that day.\r\n\r\nThat’s what happened in our family. My son lived happily and sneeze-free for years with Dave. Eighteen months into my new career of kenneling, my here-to-fore amazingly healthy child, developed allergies not only to dogs, but also to field grass and dust mites.  To combat his symptoms we established dog-free zones and installed HEPA filters, pulled up the carpets and tried to remember to bush-hog the 8 acres of field surrounding the house before the pollen got really juicy. Irony, once again.\r\n\r\nI purchased leather furniture and wiped it down daily. We established dog-free reserved seating — he had his chair and the dogs and I had ours.  We vacuumed frequently using a HEPA-filter vacuum, aired the house when the pollen count was low and washed dog bedding and soft toys frequently. My car was the designated dog car.\r\n\r\nAnd there was always Claritin. It worked great when I could convince my son to take it. But he said it made him feel like he was walking under water and, more importantly, he felt that it was a moral indignation to have to take medicine in order to live in his own house.\r\n\r\nUntil recently he lived dog and allergy free, but as an animal lover, he couldn’t not have a dog. Bing, a pit bull/boxer joined the family, and my son has resumed snuffling. It’s inconvenient but one of the smaller things you put up with for love.\r\n<div></div>', 'All about dog hair: Not the cause of allergies', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'all-about-dog-hair-not-the-cause-of-allergies-2', '', '', '2014-02-27 08:58:33', '2014-02-27 13:58:33', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=15276', 0, 'post', '', 0),

(15285, 4, '2014-02-27 09:04:35', '2014-02-27 14:04:35', '<b>By Celia Strong</b>\r\n\r\nThere seems to be a trend of wines with a bull on the label. One day we are going to have to look into what the connection is between bulls and wines, especially wines from Spanish speaking countries. Obviously, Spain is the home of bull fighting. But what connects wine into that? It’s gotten to the point where if we’ve had a wine we like and we want to find it and it had a bull on the bottle, we can’t just go looking for any bottle with a bull on it. There are too many and we could end up with a different wine. But our wine this week is a new bull bottle that stands out and is worth learning more about in order to give it a try.\r\n\r\nOur bull ride takes us to Chile this week. Winemaking in Chile dates back to the 16th century. Spanish conquistadors brought “vitis vinifera” vines when they colonized the country.  There are local legends that conquistador Francisco de Aguirre himself planted the very first vine. Most of these vines were probably from Peru, not Europe, and were most likely related to the País variety. Until the 21st century, País was the most widely planted grape in Chile. (French grape varieties like Cabernet, Merlot, Carmenère and Cabernet Franc all came in the mid-19th century.)  While the Spanish ruled Chile, local vineyard production was limited and taken care of by missionaries. Most of the wine, then, that was drunk in Chile had to come from Spain — one way to make sure Spain had markets. And, consequently, Chilean wines became mostly sweeter style.\r\n\r\nDespite its strong connection with Spain, Chilean wine was more influenced by France. Don Silvestre Errázuruz brought vines from France, hired a French winemaker and started to produce wines in the Bordeaux style. Lack of transportation, to get the wines from the vineyards to consumers, and a series of war scares made the beginning very difficult for these wines. The building of the national railroad in 1902 fixed that, though. Twentieth century instability in Chilean politics as well as high taxes hampered the industry’s growth some more. But, finally, the excellent growing conditions in Chile became known in other wine producing countries and foreign investors showed up. Chile became the third largest wine exporter in the world.\r\n\r\nOne of the best known Chilean wine regions is the Colchagua Valley. It is roughly 2,200 square acres, located in the southern part of the Rapel Valley, running from the Andes Mountains in the east to the Coastal Range in the west. The vineyards lie in the foothills.\r\n\r\nColchagua is best known for its full-bodied Malbecs, Cabernets, Carmenères and Syrahs. These red varieties tend to be planted in the warmer eastern part of the valley. White grapes grow better in the cooler western side. The region has a cool Mediterranean climate, about 23 inches of rain each year, and clay, sand and decomposed granite soils. Wine Enthusiast Magazine named the Colchagua Valley as the wine region if the year in 2005.\r\n\r\nOur wine this week is a Carmenère — a variety that came from Bordeaux, known for its deep colored wines and most often used for blending. It is believed Carmenère is a clone of Cabernet Sauvignon. Its tannins are softer than Cabernet’s, its wines are medium bodied, its aromas are cherry-like with other red fruits, smokiness, spiciness and earth notes. Dark chocolate, tobacco and leather also show in its flavors with a crimson color in your glass. This grape’s name comes from the French word for “crimson,” “carmin.” Although, Carmenère was one of the six grapes originally allowed in Bordeaux red wines, it is no longer grown there. (So, yes, Bordeaux now has just five legally accepted varieties.) Chile is the world’s largest grower of Carmenère, pronounced “car-men-yaihr,” like “fair.”\r\n\r\nCuttings of Carmenère were taken to Chile, from Bordeaux, during the 19th century. It was common for them to be mistaken for Merlot vines. The cuttings of Carmenère that were planted in Chile thrived in the drier vineyards there. And, they were never exposed to the phylloxera infestation that occurred in Bordeaux just after they were transplanted. The Chilean vineyards, surrounded completely by mountains, were safe. As Chile produced larger quantities of wines, and they were exported to other countries, their Merlot wines were described as different. As well they should be: Research at Montpellier’s School of Oenology showed their “Merlot” was really Carmenère. And, in 1998, the Chilean Department of Agriculture officially recognized Carmenère. (For some of us, already studying wines back then, it was like a new grape had been discovered.)\r\n\r\nFor food, Carmenère is a great fit for many “untraditional”  styles of food. It is highly versatile, but goes particularly well with certain flavors and herbs such as oregano, rosemary, thyme plus garlic, fennel, red and black pepper, curry powder, saffron, paprika, anise and cumin. Not one of us has had a “go-to” wine for most of this list. But, add in olives, black and green, mushrooms, tomatoes, green peppers, eggplant, onions, sweet potatoes and corn. And it pairs well with a variety of meat including lamb, stewing beef, pork sausages, chicken, duck, rabbit, wild boar and venison.\r\n\r\nThe winery for our Carmenère is Calcu. “Calcu” is a Mapuche Indian term that means “healing doctor” or “magician.” Calcu is the second label to Viñas Maquis. Not to be a name dropper, but, since 2005, Maquis has worked with Xavier Choné, a viticulturalist, who consults with Chateau Yquem, Léoville Las Cases, Opus One and Dalla Valle. Under his guidance the Maquis vineyards, including Calcu, were planted and farmed with a minimum of irrigation. And, Carmenère is planted in the warmest sites. For their winemaking, Maquis and Calcu are guided by Jacques Boissenot who also heads the winemaking at Chateau Margaux, Chateau Lafite, Chateau Latour and Mouton Rothschild, four of the five first growths in Bordeaux. I guess, if we’re going to name drop, we might as well run with the big dogs.\r\n\r\nSo, finally, the Calcu Carmenère is made with grapes that come from the Maquis Estate, in the heart of the Colchaqua Valley. The alluvial soil is about six and a half feet thick and well drained. The grapes ripen without any greenness, and the late picking of the grapes allows for their spiciness and black fruit aromas to develop. These grapes are all picked by hand, fermented in stainless steel tanks with total maceration lasting for 24 days — five days of that at cold temperatures before fermentation was started. Twenty percent of the wine is aged for nine months in used French oak barrels. This wine is medium bodied with dark cherry aromas and flavors, mild black fruit notes, spiciness (think baking spices, like cinnamon and nutmeg, peppers and curry) and moderate tannins.\r\n\r\nThink $20 and you’ll really appreciate all its flavors and textures. See it for $13.99 on the shelf, and guess what? A new favorite. Yep. Bull and all.

They do exist. Once having accepted this fact as reality, imagine that your sister is a participant on one of those live-action bachelor or bachelorette shows. Let’s revel for a moment in how much you might enjoy cat-calling her decisions as the show progresses.\r\n\r\nThen let’s pretend that it’s your turn on the merry-go-round of love, and its real life. It’s not TV.\r\n\r\nHow would you decide between great, better, and best ever? “Eenie meenie miney mo” has lost fashion, despite its decisive nature. So in response to the loss of this, and many other eminent childhood aids for resolving sticky situations (Bubble gum, Bubble gum in a dish?), you might, just by default, plan an informal comparison study of these three good men, with five of your “bestest” friends.\r\n\r\nDuke University’s Behavior Economist, Dan Ariely, demonstrates through a simple experiment that we are more likely to be influenced by those who are in our perceived in-group, even against our better judgment. He found that college students cheated more, if someone in the group made it obvious that they had cheated on some basic math problems — and the cheater was wearing an alma mater shirt. If someone wearing a shirt from a rival school made it obvious they had cheated, there was even less cheating than normal. No one wanted to be associated with cheating that originated with an “out” group. In other words, people are more easily influenced by those we perceive to be like us, and less so with those we perceive to be different.\r\n\r\nSo, if you decide to “date by committee,” and check with your friends as to whom you might date, this study lays bare the fact that you may be heavily influenced to pick one man over another — no matter the quality of the advice. Not because of long-term ties, but because your friends resemble you.\r\n\r\nAlbert Einstein noted that we “cannot solve a problem with the same mind that created it.”\r\n\r\nTo wit, if you are going to search outside of yourself for answers, you may have to look for those unlike yourself, so that you at least have a chance at infiltrating what has become habitual thinking for yourself, and your own personal in-group.\r\n\r\nIn order to successfully solicit advice on life’s deeper questions from those who live in high contrast to you and your friends, Ash Beckman, Equality Advocate, tells us that we need to do three things.  One, we have to reach a new level of authenticity ourselves. Two, we may have to find within ourselves the ability to be direct with the force of bandage removed. Three, never apologize for your truth.\r\n\r\nBeckman advices, you must “be real, to get real in return.”', 'Decision trees be damned: Part II', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'decision-trees-be-damned-part-ii', '', '', '2014-02-27 09:05:53', '2014-02-27 14:05:53', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=15289', 0, 'post', '', 0),

The mind of a woman is both so powerful and complex that it can focus on ill-advised grammar in a thank you card while zeroing in to the intricacy of an apology that was never meant. It is no wonder wine sales are healthy.\r\n\r\nAt any given moment, my thoughts can be described as a pizza comprised of short moments of chaotic days. Toppings include worrying if baby food taste as bad as it smells, working enough, working too much, cleaning baseboards, wondering if that cupcake is worth the pounds, deciding if the pounds are worth not having cupcakes — and the list goes on to a supremely topped pizza of convulsion. Prioritizing thoughts is an exhausting exercise in mental fortitude all on its own.\r\n\r\nIt is the darkest hours right before dawn in which the pesky overflow of thoughts emerge in even stranger forms than the light of day. It was then I allowed much of the content of my overcrowded mind to dance through my fingertips across my well-worn keyboard.\r\n\r\nWeek after week, I submitted my frivolous follies to the newspaper — observations of the mundane and well written snipits of life with a newborn. With sincere and often humbling honesty, I wrote of exhaustion, confusion and the pure humanity that is the life of a brand-new mom with more than one fulltime job and less than enough hours in a day. Tears flowed, giggles escaped and the once iron clad door to the inner workings that is the woman with the strange name slowly cracked open for the world.\r\n\r\nBut the world went silent. Not one person mentioned my silly articles, not even in Publix. There were no emails explaining to me how irrelevant my chosen subject, no texts volunteering subjects for my next deadline and no call from my Mom reminding me that some things are best left unsaid. My little store wasn’t full of giggles and empathetic glances, and my husband didn’t ask me to omit any sordid new parent moments. No matter how hard I searched, I could not find my articles in the pages of the paper.\r\n\r\nAt 4 a.m., the cause is as clear as pluff mud. My time as a writer of weirdness, advocate of the odd and a voice for all the things you shouldn’t say, had finally come to an end. Maybe childbirth was to blame. Possibly it was my husband’s fault, or could sleep deprivation steal my ability to take random words and create even one article worthy of print? Week after week, the torture of silence chipped away at my hobby like a chisel to clay.\r\n\r\nOne morning, almost accepting of the newly found absence, I sat to read my daily plethora of emails. Skipping over sales ads, ignoring invitations to odd computer games, and avoiding all lottery winnings from Nigeria, something caught my pre-coffee eyes. It was the name of a client from a few years back. She is an OBGYN who purchased a beautiful home from me. Oddly enough, her email was ever-so-similar to my editor’s email address.\r\n\r\nHer email was genuine, kind and brought about one of those “OH MY” moments where a woman raises her shoulders, crinkles her nose, bites her lips and lets out an unedited “Oh #%&amp;$%.” Apparently, all of this torment over the reasons my articles were no longer gracing the pages of the paper was, in fact,  my husband’s fault. He bought me a new MAC for Christmas, and this amazing instrument is slightly different from my antiquated laptop. Just different enough that the extremely similar email address of this poor, unsuspecting OBGYN and the editor of The Island News had gone completely unnoticed.\r\n\r\nAlthough this kind and admittedly amused doctor and mother expressed her delight in receiving longwinded emails from her former Realtor, it finally occurred to her that possibly they were meant for another.\r\n\r\nMystery solved, face red and hope regained in my ability to share the silly parts of life, I explained to my former client that new mommyhood had slightly dulled my once sharp-as-a-tack brain.

Losing a family member through death or divorce should also prompt a policy review. Remember to change the beneficiary designations on your existing policies as needed.\r\n\r\n<b>• Your children grow up. </b>When you have a new teen driver, adequate auto insurance is a must. Your State Farm® agent can tell you about discounts that may be available. If your student is leaving for college or has recently graduated, it’s a good time to consider personal property, liability and renters insurance for the new living arrangements.\r\n\r\n<b>• You’re planning a move.</b> Whenever your address changes, reassess your homeowners insurance to make sure the new property is adequately protected. An impending move is also a good opportunity to update your home inventory - whether you’re adding items such as new furniture or scaling back for a move to a smaller home. Even if your address doesn’t change, review your coverage when you add rooms to or significantly renovate your current home.\r\n\r\n<b>• You’re starting a business. </b>Whether you’re going to rent office space or open a home-based business, include a thorough insurance review in your start-up plans. Depending on the size of your operation, you may have to consider property and liability, commercial vehicle and workers’ compensation coverage, as well as a health care plan for employees. If you’re a sole proprietor working from home, be sure to review your homeowners plan to see that your business and equipment are fully covered.\r\n\r\n<b>• You need health insurance options. </b>In today’s rapidly changing health care environment, protecting your family’s health can be a challenge. If your current plan is up for renewal or if you’ve been downsized and need brand-new coverage, take the time to compare plan features against your family’s current or anticipated needs.\r\n\r\nWhether you have an impending life event or it’s just been awhile since you reviewed your coverage, contact your State Farm agent for assistance.

This method will allow the public to have access to all of the street-front businesses, said Lamar Taylor, assistant public works director for the City of Beaufort.\r\n\r\nThe first phase of work will begin on Bay Street on the south side beginning from Carteret Street west to Charles Street, then to the north side of Bay Street to reverse the process. This phase should take approximately eight weeks. The work along the interior streets of Port Republic, West, Scott, Craven, Carteret and Charles will take up the remainder of the construction schedule with work anticipated to be done before Memorial Day.\r\n\r\nInformation signs will be posted throughout the work area by Main Street Beaufort USA. Parking and construction work zones will be coordinated by Lanier Parking.\r\n\r\n“As part of this project, we will do a daily inspection by city staff and engineers from Ward Edwards Engineering to ensure the project’s safety and that merchants continue to have access to their businesses,” Taylor said. “We will be very visible as this project unfolds.”', 'Beaufort to install new streetlamps', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'beaufort-to-install-new-streetlamps', '', '', '2014-02-27 09:09:55', '2014-02-27 14:09:55', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=15295', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Beaufort’s award was this year’s only recognition in the education category.\r\n\r\n“The Beaufort County School District has worked tirelessly to advance the arts within its Lowcountry community,” the arts commission said. “Student performances, exhibitions and artist residencies are regular features at all schools, and community performances are frequent field trips for school groups. High-quality, ongoing professional development is a priority for all teachers involved in the arts — not just those at schools with an arts focus.”\r\n\r\nThree schools in the district — Hilton Head Island School for the Creative Arts, Lady’s Island Elementary School and Beaufort Middle School — are Arts in Basic Curriculum (ABC) sites.  A fourth, Lady’s Island Middle School, is working toward an ABC designation.\r\n\r\nABC schools integrate the arts throughout their curricula.  The project is cooperatively directed by the Arts Commission, the South Carolina Department of Education and the College of Visual and Performing Arts at Winthrop University.\r\n\r\n“Beaufort County stretches over 500 square miles, yet everywhere you look the fingerprint of Beaufort County student artists is evident,” the arts commission said.  “Beaufort County is an arts-rich community eager to foster strong collaborations and support arts education in any way possible. Over the years, hundreds of students have been honored for their accomplishments in the arts.”\r\n\r\nArts Commission Chair Sarah Lynn Hayes said that South Carolina’s quality of life, education and economy are enhanced by people and organizations who dedicate their work and lives to the arts.  “The Verner Awards recognize that service of commitment and passion,” Hayes said.\r\n\r\n“The excellence of our arts program is no secret here in Beaufort County, but it’s terrific to see that excellence recognized on a statewide level,” said Beaufort County School District Superintendent Jeff Moss. “The dedicated work of our school leaders and arts teachers is enriching the cultural life of our entire community.”', 'School district earns top arts recognition', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'school-district-earns-top-arts-recognition', '', '', '2014-02-27 09:11:00', '2014-02-27 14:11:00', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=15298', 0, 'post', '', 0),

She has served the Federal Reserve Bank for more than 30 years.\r\n\r\n“It’s been a remarkable two days,” Ms. Lee told the assembled guests.\r\n\r\nThe Hollins family commitment to education originated with her grandfather, affectionately known as “Big Daddy,” who instilled in his children the importance of education.\r\n\r\n“My father was the oldest of 12 children. And all 12 children ... were valedictorian of their high school class ... My daddy had a vision of better things, and to obtain that vision, he needed to seek higher education. He wanted the best for this family at all costs.”\r\n\r\nAmong those paying homage to Mr. Hollins and to the peaceful integration process at USCB was Rep.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_15307\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/RES0036.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-15307\" alt=\"Jackie Hollins Lee ascends the steps of the Beaufort College Building, walking in the footsteps of her late father, James Hollins, who was the first African-American student admitted to USCB.\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/RES0036-300x210.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"210\" /></a> Jackie Hollins Lee ascends the steps of the Beaufort College Building, walking in the footsteps of her late father, James Hollins, who was the first African-American student admitted to USCB.[/caption]\r\n\r\nKenneth F.

I can only imagine his courage as six Marines walked with him and they were determined to watch his back. And that’s what they did. They walked the halls and they watched James Hollins’ back.\r\n\r\n“The unique thing about desegregation, integration in Beaufort, is that it happened so peacefully,” he continued. “I grew up in this area. I grew up on a little, small island called Bennetts Point. And I knew the challenges of that era, in 1963, when it was a different life. I grew up in a community that ... the population was less than 70 individuals. And yet, in that small community, there was a time that there were two separate schools.”\r\n\r\nRep. Hodges presented the Hollins family with a framed copy of the Joint Resolution sponsored by Rep. Hodges in the S.C. House of Representatives, with the concurrence of the state Senate, honoring the memory of James Henry Hollins, “who, on Sept. 12, 1963, acted on his personal commitment to open doors to public higher education institutions to all citizens and to enroll as the first African-American student at the University of South Carolina Beaufort.”\r\n\r\nA framed proclamation was also presented to Lynn McGee, Ph.D., vice chancellor of Advancement at USCB, honoring the university for its commitment to equality in education.\r\n\r\nMs. Devin Mock, president of the Student Government Association at USCB, hailed the impact of James Hollins decision on her education:  “We have been able to have a diverse population now,” she pointed out. “And that may not have been the case without brave people like Mr. Hollins and his commitment to education. So many of the people that were key to my success, both mentors, faculty members, students around me, are all a portion of this diverse population.”\r\n\r\nJames Hollins did not graduate from USCB. When his tour of duty ended at Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, he was assigned to another duty station. He withdrew and went on to obtain a baccalaureate degree at another university. But he always acknowledged that his admission to USCB was a major step in his quest to earn a college degree.\r\n\r\nMr. Hollins devoted 23 years to the U.S. Marine Corps. When he retired, he served as a marketing analyst for the EJ&amp;E Railway in Illinois. When he retired from the railroad, he opened a tax and accounting firm and operated it for 33 years in the Chicago suburb of Joliet. He retired for the last time in 2004 and died on Jan. 5 of this year, with his family by his side.\r\n<div></div>', '‘Days of Reflection’: USCB honors 50th anniversary of its desegregation', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'days-of-reflection-uscb-honors-50th-anniversary-of-its-desegregation', '', '', '2014-02-27 09:29:20', '2014-02-27 14:29:20', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=15305', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Prospective students and the public are invited to tour TCL’s health education labs and observe current students in action as they demonstrate the latest health care techniques using TCL’s onsite, state-of-the-art simulation equipment.\r\n\r\nThe second open house will be held from 4 to 6 p.m., Thursday, March 20 at the TCL New River Campus, 100 Community College Drive in Bluffton.  In addition to providing information about each health sciences program, the massage therapy program — which is fully housed at the New River Campus ‚ will also showcase its lab to prospective students.\r\n\r\nBy combining classroom and clinical education, TCL health sciences programs truly prepare students for their careers. Plus, TCL students perform exceptionally well on licensing exams, Sapp said.\r\n\r\nLicensing exam pass rates for all of TCL’s health sciences programs continue to be higher than the national average. Most recently, the radiologic technology and massage therapy programs achieved a 100 percent pass rate on their licensing exams.\r\n\r\n“TCL’s health sciences programs, all of which are nationally accredited, are vigorous and demanding but produce extremely qualified and successful graduates,” Sapp said. “This is exactly why they are so highly sought after by health care employers here and across the country.”\r\n\r\nTCL has campuses in Beaufort, Bluffton and Hampton.

Coming next will be broccoli, strawberries, tomatoes, cantaloupe and cucumbers.\r\n\r\nThree years in the making, the farm-to school initiative aims to benefit the students by providing them with lower-sodium, less-processed lunches — something that the 17 local farmers in the Gullah Farmer Co-op are able to supply.\r\n\r\nHistorically, school cafeterias across the nation have relied heavily on canned foods because of their long shelf life, which makes planning meals easier.  Although using fresh foods makes logistics more complicated, the benefits to students is undeniable.\r\n\r\n“There are many reasons to create this kind of project, starting with the fact that fresh vegetables are generally healthier than processed foods,” said Superintendent Jeff Moss. “We’re fortunate to live near hundreds of acres of farmland, and there’s no doubt about the  nutritional value of local farmers’ crops to the growing minds and bodies of our students.”\r\n\r\nThe school district’s initial field-testing of the new system will be in schools on Lady’s Island and St. Helena Island.  But as the picking, cleaning and delivering of crops is fine-tuned, the program will expand to other schools.\r\n<div></div>', 'District field-tests new farm-to-school project', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'district-field-tests-new-farm-to-school-project', '', '', '2018-07-12 11:03:20', '2018-07-12 15:03:20', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=15329', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Participating artists are Laurie Lovell and Cindy Male.\r\n\r\nThe exhibit is comprised of textile pieces by two different artists and reflects their distinct sensibilities. The installation Three Journeys is an “eye labyrinth” which was created by Cindy Male in 2000. The floor cushions that are part of the piece invite quiet contemplation. In contrast, Laurie Lovell’s  work, Ashes to Ashes, is a visceral experience that invites the viewer to journey through a series of suspended and draped free-form shapes made of flax, burlap and fabric which the artist describes as “reactive structures.” The juxtaposition provokes visitors to question the sensory and ways in which we interact with art and the different ways artists conceptualize their work.\r\n\r\nOn February 27 and 28, the artists will also present lectures about the place of installations in art history and a video to stimulate further discussion regarding art movements past and present and thoughts on the direction of art in the future. Partial funding for these presentations is provided by a grant from the SC Arts Commission.\r\n\r\nLaurie Lovell is a native of Ohio, who received an MFA in Fibers from the Savannah College of Art &amp; Design. For the past 12 years, Laurie’s work has been exhibited in shows in South Carolina, Georgia and Ohio. Cindy Male splits her time between the Beaufort area and St. Croix, Virgin Islands.

The famous dance of the Polovtsians everyone loves. And the aria for Prince Igor, this is very important, a wonderful piece. Amazing. But ... it’s a difficult opera because the personage of the prince himself is not easy ... but the role is not difficult — of course I can do it!”\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_15341\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"252\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Arts-Opera-Igor-2-27.jpg\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-15341\" alt=\"A scene in the Met’s staging of “Prince Igor” in Act II.\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Arts-Opera-Igor-2-27.jpg\" width=\"252\" height=\"300\" /></a> A scene in the Met’s staging of “Prince Igor” in Act II.[/caption]\r\n\r\nAnd he definitely will, since he’s the exceptional bass-baritone who will be singing the title role in the Met’s first production of “Prince Igor” in almost 100 years. Opera fans might remember his dramatic and resonant voice as King Henry VIII in the 2013 HD performance of “Anna Bolena” with Anna Netrebko.\r\n\r\nIt was in St. Petersburg in the 1870s that Russian composer Alexander Borodin found both friendship and inspiration from several of his contemporaries, among them Tchiakovsky, Mussorgsky and Rimsky-Korsakov. Together, they not only shared their ideas on nationalism in music but also an eagerness to recycle their music from earlier works and then integrate them into their own operas.\r\n\r\nSadly, Borodin died before completing “Prince Igor,” having not yet synched some of his music with the plot. It became the sincere task of his friend Rimsky to get everything in order, even by conducting its premier three years later in St. Petersburg in 1890.\r\n\r\n<b>Prologue:</b> A square in Putivl, Russia. Prince Igor is preparing to lead an army against the Polovtsians. The people ask for God’s blessing, but when the sky suddenly darkens, they are worried by the bad omen and urge him to abandon his campaign. Igor’s wife Yaroslavna also begs him not to go to war but he reassures her, leaving command of the city to her brother, Prince Galitsky.\r\n\r\n<b>Act I:</b> The Russians have been defeated and Igor and his son, Vladimir, are now prisoners of the Polovtsian leader, Khan Konchak. His daughter, Konchakovna, has fallen in love with Vladimir and awaits their next meeting. Vladimir appears and both declare their love. They are interrupted by Igor, tormented by the Russian defeat and longing for his wife. Ovlur, a Polovtsian friend, approaches Igor and offers to help him escape. At first Igor rejects the idea as dishonorable but agrees to ponder it. Konchak enters and assures Igor that he is to be treated as a guest, not a prisoner. He offers to grant him freedom if Igor promises never to take up arms against the Polovtsians again. Igor explains that he cannot agree to this. Impressed with Igor’s pride, Konchak orders an impressive entertainment for his guest.\r\n\r\n<b>Act II:</b> Yaroslavna, who has been suffering from bad dreams,  is waiting for news of her husband and stepson. Some of her maidens enter and complain about Galitsky, who has abducted one of their number. When Galitsky unexpectedly appears, he tries to dismiss his sister’s accusations but then agrees to give up the girl.\r\n\r\nGalitsky’s men, among them Skula and Yeroshka, sing the Prince’s praises. Galitsky celebrates his hedonistic philosophy and mocks Yaroslavna’s disapproval of his life. A group of maidens rushes in to protest against the abduction, but the men laugh at them and Galitsky sends them away. The crowd resumes their praises of the Prince, demanding that he should lead them, not Igor.\r\n\r\nA party of boyars arrives with news of Igor’s defeat and imprisonment. Galitsky and his men use the confusion to hatch a revolt, urging the boyars to elect a new prince. Alarm bells sound, announcing that the Polovtsians are already attacking the city. The people are resolved to defend their freedom.\r\n\r\n<b>Act III: </b>Putivl has fallen. Yaroslavna, who has given up hope that Igor will return, laments her loss while the peasants mourn for their devastated country. Skula and Yeroshka mock the imprisoned Igor, unaware of his escape from the Polovtsian camp. When they notice him approaching from afar, they decide to save themselves by announcing his arrival and declaring their loyalty to him. When Yaroslavna and Igor are reunited, the prince laments that he didn’t die in battle like his predecessors. The people joyfully greet Igor on his return, according to <i>Opera News</i>.\r\n\r\nMuch of Borodin’s score is on a large scale, designed to impress. And it’s the world famous Polovtsian dances — lasting about 12 minutes — which have become the opera’s piece-de-resistance. The dances vary widely with captivating rhythms, supporting the movements of wild men, young girls and boys, slave girls and prisoners.\r\n\r\nOne haunting melody in particular is worth noting. Borodin took it from his String Quartet in D Major and integrated it into the slave girls section. Then in the 1950s, the composers of “Kismet” made use of it, turning it into a love duet. Finally the string quartet became a popular solo for Tony Bennett — and many others — called “Stranger in Paradise.”\r\n\r\nTickets are Adults $22; OLLI members $18; Students $15. All seats assigned.

Poets do not make much money, so Karen and I are lucky we do have other incomes.”\r\n\r\nKaren is a fine art photographer and Clinton retired after 25 years with his family’s successful restaurant business.  Adds Karen with a laugh, “By the way, we never call it ‘retirement’ — it’s simply the next phase.”\r\n\r\nIn 2008, the distinguished poet Kwame Dawes selected Karen’s collection of family poems as a winner of the SC Poetry Initiative Chapbook contest at USC Columbia. Shortly after, he appointed her poet-in-residence at Magnolia Plantation &amp; Gardens in Charleston. As a result, she has two published chapbooks, “The Mother-Face in the Mirror” and “Magnolia Plantation: A Journey,” both of which are available for sale in local bookstores and at the visitor’s center in the Beaufort Armory building. Clinton’s poems have also won awards and been published in more than 100 publications. His poem “My Veterans Day Prayer” was published in The Congressional Record.\r\n\r\nAbout coming to Beaufort Clinton says, “After becoming tired of shoveling snow and sitting stuck in Newark airport for 12 hours, Karen and I decided to spend our remaining years in the South.”\r\n\r\nThey first considered Florida but after spending time there and not finding what they wanted, a friend invited them to come to Beaufort for a visit. Clinton recalls that after the first day here Karen said, “Clint, if you want to stay married you had better live in Beaufort because I’m not leaving.”\r\n\r\nKaren adds, “One horse-and-buggy tour through Beaufort and I was hooked. The next day, Clint and I walked the Point and other downtown streets so that I could take art photographs. I love (and have sold) those very first images — sunlight backlighting Spanish moss to a glow, grave markers in the Parish Church of St. Helena cemetery, laundry blowing in the breeze between giant live oaks in a downtown yard — oh yeah, I was smitten. And I had read everything Pat Conroy wrote in his gorgeous, seductive prose, and he knows that I credit/blame him for my wanting to experience his Beaufort.”\r\n\r\nThey first rented but ended up building their own house on the bluff.\r\n\r\nSays Clinton with a laugh, “Eight members of our family went to FSU (Florida State University) or UF (University of Florida). Please don’t hold it against us. We are comeya’s and Yankees.”\r\n\r\nSays Karen, “The people are so friendly and welcoming here. I’m sure there are many who wish we Yankees would go home, but as I told Kevin Cuppia many years ago, if you weren’t so darn nice to us, we wouldn’t stay!”\r\n\r\nThey love the landscape and the trees. Karen said, “I cannot NOT take photographs. It’s like breathing. I believe that when we do what we love, we will do our very best work.” You can see her beautiful infrared photos and hand-tinted black and white ones at her website, www.KarenMPelusoPhotography.com\r\n\r\nSays Karen, “I’ve been taking pictures since I was 10, but when I left my job in the medical field (after 18 years of managing a surgeon’s office) to move to Beaufort, I focused all my time and energy on photography and writing poetry. Clint has always been my most fervent cheerleader, so it was easy to forge ahead.”\r\n\r\nOne of their favorite things to do is volunteer for Beaufort Memorial Hospital — Karen in the foundation office and Clinton at the front desk.\r\n\r\nSays Clinton, “Every Tuesday AM you will usually find me at the front desk of BMH. I consider it the highlight of my week. My goal is to make sure the staff have a stress-free day no matter what it takes. Sometimes it is a hug or a friendly word Other times, a chocolate chip cookie is the best gift of all.”\r\n\r\nHe also volunteers to cook meals for the families at the Ronald McDonald House in Savannah. And when asked, he cooks for the migrant workers’ children at the Franciscan Center on Lady’s Island.\r\n\r\nKaren loves her co-workers in the Beaufort Memorial Hospital Foundation office and says, “I believe in their mission to raise money to keep our hospital on the cutting edge of all it offers. I love ‘my ladies’ there who work so hard”\r\n\r\nFor about 10 years Karen has been an exhibiting member of the Beaufort Art Association. Says Karen “I’m a worker bee and help out in a variety of areas, but I especially like to help new members during changeover exhibits. When you’re new and don’t know who or how to ask for help, I try to be available. I’m also a member of the Photography Club of Beaufort, actively for the past several years. It’s comprised of very talented artists who are generous with their time and expertise in sharing with those just starting out.”\r\n\r\nThey got exciting news last Sunday.

(15347, 4, '2014-03-05 19:46:23', '2014-03-06 00:46:23', '<b>By Tracie Korol</b>\r\n\r\nWhen it comes to describing a healthier life — for us and our dogs — we are encouraged to participate in a new vocabulary to remain current with rising trends. Both people and animal doctors are trending toward concierge medicine, a trend that forces us to decode buzz words like <i>natural, human-grade, holistic and organic</i>, and my own personal pet peeve, <i>wellness</i>.\r\n\r\nFor instance, dog owners will maintain they feed their dogs a kibble that is made of <i>human-grade</i> ingredients — because it says so on the label. Here’s the problem with that: <i>human-grade </i>dog food does not exist. Due to the vagaries of the federal government, we just don’t know what that actually means. Once meat, originally intended for humans, leaves a slaughterhouse in a truck bound for a pet food factory, it immediately becomes “inedible” for human consumption. Food material meant for humans is under jurisdiction of the FDA; once it leaves the plant, it belongs to the USDA; it has its own set of rules. The USDA does not inspect pet food manufacturing plants and procedures therefore cannot guarantee that the processing of the food meets human standards. Anything could happen in there, and it does.\r\n\r\nTerms like <i>holistic, premium, organic and natural</i> have also become extremely popular marketing vernacular in the pet food industry of late, as well. There is no legal definition to support the use of those kinds of words, either. From the FDA: “From a food science perspective, it is difficult to define a food product that is ‘natural’ because the food has probably been processed and is no longer the product of the earth. That said, FDA has not developed a definition for use of the term natural or its derivatives.”\r\n\r\nSo, it appears these descriptors were created solely to inflate the value of the pet product for marketing purposes. Natural (and it’s derivatives <i>natura, nutro, natural &gt;insert happy word&lt;</i>) implies a safe, healthy, nutritious food, but there’s no legal definition of the word, so a food containing arsenic and ear wax — both of which are natural — could be sold as “100% natural.”\r\n\r\nA manufacturer gets to use the word <i>organic</i> if it meets the strict requirements of the USDA’s National Organic Program. At least 95 percent of the ingredients must be organically grown or cultivated without the addition of synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. Therefore, all the beef, or chicken, or wheat, rice and whatever that the dog food contains must be organic. If a dog food contains at least 70 percent organic ingredients, the label can say, “Made with Organic Ingredients.” What the other 30 percent is is up for grabs. These foods cannot carry the coveted “USDA Organic” green and white label. Given, too, that most pet food companies are now subsidiaries of multi-national corporations — for instance, Procter and Gamble own Iams and Eukanuba. Mars owns Kal Kan, Mealtime, Pedigree, Walthams, Sheba, and Nutro — how much do you trust that <i>organic</i> on the package means anything?\r\n\r\nAnd then there’s <i>wellness</i>. The word first appeared in the 1600’s as a counter to <i>ill-ness</i>. Now, that makes sense. Unfortunately, it took a turn when Dr. Halbert L. Dunn introduced the concept of <b>wellness</b>, referring to a lifestyle approach that pursued elevated states of physical and psychological well-being, in a series of lectures he gave at the Unitarian Church in Arlington, Virginia in the late 1950s. He described it as a “disciplined commitment to self-mastery.” Hardly what we think of as <i>wellness</i> today.\r\n\r\nOf late, the term has gotten mish-mashed in with holistic health, disease prevention, health education and health promotion, hair care, massage, spa, exercise and fitness, stress management, critical thinking, spirituality, effective relationships and yes, dog food. It’s a marketer’s dream word; it means everything and nothing, but we want it.\r\n\r\nHuman and animal docs are turning toward the “wellness” approach to practice. Does that mean anything more than selling supplements and suggesting you take a walk? Next time you hear a practitioner use that word, or see it appear on his sign or his brochure, or watch him re-make his practice in a <i>wellness</i> model, ask him what he means. I wager he’ll scramble for a definition.\r\n<div></div>', 'What’s in a word?', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'whats-in-a-word', '', '', '2014-03-05 19:46:23', '2014-03-06 00:46:23', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=15347', 0, 'post', '', 0),

(15353, 4, '2014-03-05 19:48:46', '2014-03-06 00:48:46', '<b>By Celia Strong</b>\r\n\r\nHas anyone noticed how many bottles of Chardonnay we all seem to buy and drink? Although we don’t talk about it too much, our featured wine this week is a Chardonnay from California that is definitely worthy of discussion.\r\n\r\nSo, we go to Mendocino County in California. This is an appellation, designated as such on labels, which is actually a part of the much larger North Coast AVA. Mendocino County has some of the most diverse climate conditions of any wine producing area. There are, in fact, two distinct climate zones, and 10 separate designated AVAs within Mendocino County. Also, with nearly 25 percent of the grape growing land  farmed organically, Mendocino has been called “California’s organic wine Mecca.”  (We must remember, the term “organic” refers to the grape growing process, not actually to the wine.) Most of the vineyards in the county are planted in the eastern side.\r\n\r\nThe most well known AVA of Mendocino County is the Anderson Valley. This is one of the coolest growing regions in the state, with cool Pacific fogs coming off the coast. In the 1980’s, the success of Roederer Estate, the Anderson Valley branch of the French Champagne house Louis Roederer, led to others planting Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in the area for other sparkling wines and still wines also. Success with Riesling and Gewurztraminer followed. The Anderson Valley is about 10 miles long, has over 20 types of alluvial soils, and has steep hills that range in elevation from 800 to 1,300 feet. Most of the vineyards are planted on the slopes of these hills, very few on the valley floor.\r\n\r\nThe early European settlers to the Anderson Valley came after 1850. These settlers practiced subsistence farming and expanded into resource extraction economies based on timber and livestock. (Redwood trees are all over the hills.) In 1880, with 1,000 people living in the valley, there were 75,000 sheep and 20,000 cattle. The first steam powered lumber mill was built in 1877. Before the turn of the century, apples and hops became successful, and the 1940’s and 1950’s were boom years in the valley. By the 1960’s, sheep, timber and apples had all started to decline. But, the first commercial vineyards were planted. It seems, too, as new people moved into the area about this time, that marijuana production flourished. But, the wine boom came in the 1980s, and the industry became the biggest in the area’s economy. Of course, the hospitality industry followed. Today, quality hotels and restaurants, art and craft galleries, musicians, writers all prosper. And wine lovers flock to them all, spending a lot of money.\r\n\r\nNow, on to our grape — Chardonnay. This green-skinned variety, originally from the Burgundy region of France, is grown around the world in every wine producing country. The grape itself is very neutral, many of the flavors usually associated with its wines coming from the soil where it is grown and the oak used in making or aging the wines. Its wines can range from clean, crisp and minerally to oaky with tropical fruit flavors (a brief description of Old World vs New World Chardonnay wines).\r\n\r\nThe popularity of Chardonnay peaked in the late 1980s, thanks in part to its huge success in California. As of 2006, there are 34 clones of Chardonnay.  So growers and winemakers around the world choose the ones best suited for their soil and climate and for the style of wine they want to make. Fortunately, Chardonnay adapts well to different conditions and it is a vigorous vine. It has a lot of large leaves, but aggressive pruning keeps them at bay to avoid too little sun and warmth on the grapes. Chardonnay vines produce their best grapes in chalk, clay and limestone soils, and alluvial soils — you know, like in Anderson Valley.\r\n\r\nThe winery this week, Lede Family Wines, was established in 2002, with 60 acres in the Stags Leap District in Napa. There, they make a Cabernet Sauvignon, a Sauvignon Blanc and their “flagship” wine, Poetry.\r\n\r\nAfter years of success with Cliff Lede wines in Napa, Cliff found himself more and more interested in Pinot Noir, especially Anderson Valley Pinot Noir.\r\n\r\nIn 2009, Lede acquired Breggo Cellars in the Anderson Valley. Two years later, they got the famed Savoy Vineyard in the AVA. For our Chardonnay this week, these wines are still labeled with the Breggo name. As of March 1, 2014 (yep, just this past Saturday), Breggo Cellars was re-branded as FEL Wines. FEL stands for Florence Elsie Lede, the initials of Cliff’s mother, who was responsible for his love of good wine.\r\n\r\nThe Breggo Chardonnay 2011, while it’s still Breggo, is a blend of grapes from their Savoy Vineyard and their Ferrington Vineyard. This was a cool vintage year in northern California. Perfect for the varieties growing in the Anderson Valley. A cold spring was followed by heavy rains in June, but July, August and September — the heart of the grape growing season — were warm with even temperatures. The harvest lasted exceptionally late, into November, due to the coolness earlier in the year. The Savoy Vineyard is 44 acres, is located close to the center of the valley, and is planted with Dijon and Heritage clones. The Ferrington Vineyard is 70 acres with south facing slopes where grapes are ripened in the afternoon sunshine to full rich flavors.\r\n\r\nThe Breggo Anderson Valley Chardonnay is pressed from whole clusters in stainless steel tanks. After settling for 24 hours, the juice is fermented in French oak with limited malolactic fermentation allowed. The wine is aged, “sur lie,” in 60 gallon neutral French oak barrels.\r\n\r\nThe finished wine is full of cool-climate flavors that include flint, crushed rock (both the now popular minerality), and lemon zest. Honey, bergamot and chamomile add complexity. Orange marmalade, toasted bread with crisp acidity sparkle in the flavors, along with grapefruit and white peach. A perfect wine for shellfish and more. Possibly, one of the most excellent Chardonnays we will taste this year.\r\n\r\nAll those layers of flavors and textures and complexities would usually come with a $30 to $35 dollar price tag, but you can get it at Bill’s Liquor for only $21.99. Enjoy.\r\n<div></div>', 'L’eggo my Breggo, a California Chardonnay', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'leggo-my-breggo-a-california-chardonnay', '', '', '2014-03-05 19:48:46', '2014-03-06 00:48:46', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=15353', 0, 'post', '', 0),

But Rossini was no late bloomer, as you will hear in his charming Sonata No. 3 in C Major for string quartet. Writing at the advanced age of 12 while on summer holiday, he composed the piece for the instruments he had at hand — two violins, cello, and bass. The quartet is coated with the sheen of youth but Rossini’s innate feel for drama hints that this is a musical personality destined for the theater.\r\n\r\nHungarian Béla Bartók, one of the 20th century’s greatest composers, was also an avid collector of his country’s folk music and adapted many songs and dances for instrumental performance. His set of six Romanian Folk Dances, for violin and piano, is filled with exotic character and irregular rhythms, while their mood ranges from hauntingly lyrical to exuberant.\r\n\r\nThe concert concludes with one of the most beloved pieces in the repertoire, Schubert’s Quintet in A Major, “Trout”. Written in the afterglow of a delightful summer holiday, the quintet is brimming with good-natured friendship, bathed in sunshine and the spirit of youth, and perfectly suited to the intimate nature of chamber music fellowship.\r\n\r\nThe American violinist Mark O’Connor, through talent, hard work, and good luck, has become a virtual musical industry unto himself. He is a cross-over fiddle player, composer, educator, and winner of awards and prizes. He will be represented by the hauntingly beautiful Appalachia Waltz for Violin, Cello, and Bass. This work gained O’Connor widespread recognition as a leading proponent of a new American idiom. The composer explains the work’s appeal: “If it’s played for folk musicians, they most often think its classical music. When played for classical musicians, they most often think of it as folk music.”\r\n\r\nIn this concert, the instruments as well as the artists and the music are of particular note. The string performers — violinists Erin Keefe and Tessa Lark, bassist Kurt Muroki, and cellist-host Edward Arron — are young artists playing on old instruments. Their violins and bass pre-date every piece on the program and the cello hails from the 19th century.\r\n\r\nFor more information about the artists and program, go to www.uscb.edu/festivalseries.

March is Workplace Eye Wellness Month — a good time to refocus attention on your eye protection program. Get the facts here, plus 10 tips for injury prevention.\r\n\r\nAs the National Safety Council points out, “All it takes is a tiny sliver of metal, particle of dust, or splash of chemical to cause significant and permanent eye damage.”\r\n\r\nOSHA’s eye and face protection standard requires employers to “ensure that each affected employee uses appropriate eye or face protection when exposed to eye or face hazards from flying particles, molten metal, liquid chemicals, acids, or caustic liquids, chemical gases or vapors, or potentially injurious light radiation.”\r\n\r\nShare these injury-prevention tips with managers and supervisors.\r\n\r\n1. Look carefully at plant operations, work areas, access routes, and equipment. Study injury patterns to see where accidents are occurring.\r\n\r\n2. Conduct regular vision testing, as uncorrected vision can cause accidents.\r\n\r\n3. Select protective eyewear based on specific duties or hazards.\r\n\r\n4. Establish a mandatory eye protection program in all operation areas.\r\n\r\n5. Have eyewear fitted by a professional.\r\n\r\n6. Establish first-aid procedures for eye injuries, and make eyewash stations available, especially where chemicals are in use.\r\n\r\n7. Make eye safety part of your employee training and new hire orientation.\r\n\r\n8. Make sure managers and executives set an example by wearing protective eyewear wherever it’s worn by other employees.\r\n\r\n9. Regularly review and revise your policies, and set a goal of zero eye injuries.\r\n\r\n10. Display a copy of your policy where employees can see it.\r\n\r\nIt’s also a good time to remind employees of off-the-job eye hazards like do-it-yourself work on cars and homes, cooking accidents, sports injuries, yard work, and chemical splashes from cleaners and fertilizers.\r\n\r\nSo please protect your eyes — you only get two of them.\r\n<div></div>', 'Prevent injuries with 10 eye safety tips during Workplace Eye Wellness Month', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'prevent-injuries-with-10-eye-safety-tips-during-workplace-eye-wellness-month', '', '', '2014-03-05 19:57:31', '2014-03-06 00:57:31', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=15367', 0, 'post', '', 0),

It’s time to cut back overgrowth and cold damage. As I drive around the county, it seems that our palms have suffered the worst. February is the typical month for cutting roses, crepe myrtles, grasses and palms.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_15380\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"113\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Susan-Stone.jpg\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-15380\" alt=\"Susan Stone\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Susan-Stone.jpg\" width=\"113\" height=\"158\" /></a> Susan Stone[/caption]\r\n\r\nYour roses, no matter the variety, will thank you for a hard pruning. All shrub varieties such as knockouts and grandifloras can be pruned down to 12” above the crown. Climbing roses will benefit from pruning them by half. A monthly dose of organic fertilizer applied from April to September will go a long way to help your roses avoid problems throughout the season. You can help protect your roses from deer by planting society garlic and other smelly and fragrant plants nearby.\r\n\r\nThe pruning of crepe myrtles has been at the center of controversy among gardeners for generations. To prune or not to prune is the question. Many who prune them into arthritic knuckles are accused of crepe murder! The truth is that crepe myrtles bloom on new growth. If you have an older specimen that isn’t blooming, it’s time to cut it back. Hard pruning will help to keep it the “right size” for your landscape.\r\n\r\nAll grasses, including muhly, pampas and cord grass can be sheared to 12 to 24 inches. Liriope and mondo grass can be cut to inches above the ground. Many of the tender grasses such as fountain grass may not come back after such a cold winter. Muhly grass is considered a semi-tender grass. Those beautiful soft pink plumes have become very popular in Southern landscapes, but will only be viable for three to five years before they run out of steam and need to be replaced.\r\n\r\nThose poor palms! Most of them are going to be just fine, but they need to be cut back if they are going to look good this season. Whatever is brown will never turn green again, so cut away. You may need a professional to climb and prune the tall ones. When it comes to prevention, most palms are on their own due to their size, but sago palms can be spared by protecting their hearts with an old towel or wadded up sheet.\r\n\r\nAs for the shrubbery, leave the azaleas alone until they have finished blooming. You will have until the first of July to get to them. After that they will start setting their buds for the following spring. Varieties such as loropetalum, ligustrum, viburnum, pineapple guava, hollies and boxwoods, go ahead and prune away. This is a good time of year to do some shaping and re-sizing. Many of our landscape plants need to be rejuvenated from time to time. Be brave, you really can’t hurt them. If they’re really big and need to be half their size, use a pruning saw. I recommend hand pruning. It takes a little longer, but doesn’t “chew” the plant. Clean cuts will keep your plants healthier. And speaking of clean, make sure your tools are sharp and clean as well. You do not want to spread fungus or disease from plant to plant. If you suspect a problem, spray or wipe down your tools with a weak bleach solution.  The exceptions to hand pruning would be boxwoods, privets, yaupon holly and other tiny leafed shrubs. They thrive on being sheared.\r\n\r\nAs an organic gardener myself, I am concerned about the amount of chemicals we use in our landscapes. We live in a very environmentally sensitive area, not to mention the effects of these chemicals on our own heath. The next time you are tempted to reach a jug of Round-up, try this recipe instead. You will need 1 gallon white vinegar, 1 cup pickling salt and 1 cup cheap dish soap. Mix together in a pump sprayer (make sure you dissolve the salt. Warning: Do not spray this on anything you don’t want to kill!\r\n\r\nHappy Gardening!\r\n\r\n<i>Susan Stone is a Garden Guru and Manager for Outdoor Architecture.

Her daughter was worried because she still hadn’t gotten her mom a Mother’s Day present. Dragana said to her “I don’t need a present sweetheart, you are my gift.” And then she hugged her.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_15392\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"258\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Profile-Dragana-mother-and-daughter.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-15392\" alt=\"Dragana Pavic-Zappia holds her daughter Luciana.\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Profile-Dragana-mother-and-daughter-258x300.jpg\" width=\"258\" height=\"300\" /></a> Dragana Pavic-Zappia holds her daughter Luciana.[/caption]\r\n\r\nAfter that, whenever I would see her — at City Java or elsewhere — she would always give me a big joyous smile, even though she didn’t know me. There was always a feeling of peace around her. Later on, I found out she was a yoga teacher who had taken over Kim Chech’s studio in the Lady’s Island Marina and that she had an unusual name and was from Eastern Europe. I wondered how she ended up here in Beaufort.\r\n\r\nHere is my interview with her:\r\n\r\n<b>What is your name and title?</b>\r\n\r\n“Dragana Pavic-Zappia, body and energy worker, yoga teacher and owner at ONE Yoga Sanctuary.”\r\n\r\n<b>Where were you born and raised?</b>\r\n\r\n“Vrbas, Yugoslavia. I was born in the country once called Yugoslavia; in my heart it still is the Union and Brotherhood of Serbs, Croats and Slovenians. Today, my country is called Serbia.”\r\n\r\n<b>What led to your current occupation?</b>\r\n\r\n“At the age of 21 I moved to Greece to find <b>ME</b>. I met my new family which introduced me to teachings of Osho and I joined Osho Kirtan and meditation Centre in Athens. I enrolled in Athens University of Economics and Businesses simply to be able to stay and live in Greece on a student visa. I graduated in 2001 with a Bachelors degree in Marketing and Public relations.\r\n\r\nWhat guided me to yoga was I discovered in a magazine an article with the title “How to stay young forever.” One page described what is called “Sun Salutations” and  yoga poses to stay young forever. I decided from there on, until I died I would do one backbend a day. This led to a devoted practice of backbends every night before bed.”\r\n\r\n<b>What led to your interest in your area of work?</b>\r\n\r\n“I met my mother-in-law, friend and artist Olga Stamatiou in Greece in 1999; she is a tremendous inspiration. She introduced me to committed practice of yogic arts. Seeing her and the way she practiced yoga opened my eyes and mind to what our bodies are capable of, at any given time, and what dedicated practice can do for our body and mind. Olga introduced me to Kim Cech, the founder of Yoga Chandra Center for the Healing Arts, whom I connected with instantly. Kim was my mentor, teacher and friend for 10 years. Kim’s teachings of yoga as art, and her trust, kindness and belief in me as a young teacher has given me the freedom to express and teach from my heart, and share the teachings of my body’s experience.\r\n\r\nI am fascinated with our bodies as microcosmos. I am fascinated with the way simple, small changes of habits in our bodies can lead to changes in our mind’s habits — and vise versa. Knowing that conscious, committed spiritual practice is a simple and effective way to change our life!”\r\n\r\n<b>How did you meet your husband?</b>\r\n\r\n“I met my beloved husband Matt in Athens, Greece, New Years Eve 1999. We celebrated the entry to 21st Century, we kissed at midnight. We kissed after midnight as well, and loved each other ever since.”\r\n\r\n<b>What is your husband’s occupation?</b>\r\n\r\n“Matthew was an art and sculpture major at Maine College of Art. He has worked at the Beaufort Alarm and Sounds systems for the last eight years. He is also a graphic designer, he designed the logo for One Yoga Sanctuary, amongst many other marvelous creations.”\r\n\r\n<b>Do you have any children?</b>\r\n\r\n“In 2008, Matt and I were blessed with our daughter, Luciana Luna Pavic Zappia. She currently attends Bridges Preparatory School.”\r\n\r\n<b>Do you have any special schooling or training?</b>\r\n\r\n“My first energy work training took place in Athens, Greece, with Deva Svarno as a Reiki Practitioner in 1996. I apprenticed and studied yoga and healing arts with Kim Cech in Beaufort since 2004.\r\n\r\nI learned the Feng Shui Flying Star Method and Form School Method Consultant Training from 2002 to 2005 with Feng Shui Master Jill Hale and many others. I earned Nia Teacher Training in 2009, Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training in 2010, and have hundreds of hours of training and hands-on practice in Thai Yoga Bodywork.”\r\n\r\n<b>How did you find out about Beaufort?</b>\r\n\r\n“My husband’s parents — Rocco Zappia and Olga Stamatiou — lived in Beaufort, and Matthew and I visited them a couple of times in 2003. At the time, Matthew was a vice president of Seewall Child LLC, founded by Olga. We moved to Beaufort in 2004 from Portland, Maine.”\r\n\r\n<b>What do you like most about Beaufort and Beaufortonians?</b>\r\n\r\n“It’s a relatively slow way of living; it reminds me a bit of my life in Greece. I  love the climate, the charm and hospitality of this small town. I have always been fortunate to meet and live with the kindest, remarkable people wherever I moved. Beaufort is home now, people here make it so. I love being “stuck” on the bridge! I love Hunting Island Beach. I love water! I love live oak trees and Spanish moss. Nature is so intense here.”\r\n\r\n<b>Where else have you worked in Beaufort?</b>\r\n\r\n“I worked for Island Residential Construction as an architectural designer from 2005 until last year when I decided that I wanted to become a full time yoga teacher and body worker. In 2004, I worked for then-New Point Corner Store as a store manager, and before that I worked briefly for a store called Nest.”\r\n\r\n<b>What is the philosophy behind your work?</b>\r\n\r\n“Elevate one and all. Every action needs to feel effortless, natural and joyful. If there is no joy, something needs to be changed. Joy, when found, needs to be sustained. Work is my sacred livelihood. I want my mind to be blown away: yoga does that!”\r\n\r\n<b>How would you describe your business?</b>\r\n\r\n“One Yoga Sanctuary is one sacred, conscious, healing arts community. It does not feel like a business; it feels like coming home. I am blessed and grateful  to be part of one family and especially to be in the company of kind, loving, tremendously experienced, talented and creative teachers. Our mantra is ‘Recognize the Other Person is You.’\r\n\r\nOur students seek inner peace, joy, release, exercise, relaxation, increased flexibility, healing and a supportive community. There is something for every body.\r\n\r\nI think of the business as a family with high consciousness and deep respect for each other and those we work with and serve. Our students have chosen us for a reason. We inspire, teach and elevate each other and see each other perfect just the way we are. Every relationship I establish is like the philosophy behind my work — it ought to be effortless and joy filled.”\r\n\r\n<b>Is there anything surprising about the work you do? Something you weren’t expecting?</b>\r\n\r\n“Part of my practice is to have no expectations! I constantly get reminded — whether it is my loving family, my friends, colleagues, yoga class or Thai Yoga Body work — that with a very small amount of effort, big results are possible. Our bodies and our minds have tremendous power to self heal. With a very small amount of effort, we can feel better, elevated and positively influence people and world we live in, with commitment and  simple acts of kindness and service. The practice and teaching of yoga is easy in the studio environment; the true Yoga is living the life as practice, as meditation, as conscious expression every step.”\r\n\r\n<b>What are your plans for the future?</b>\r\n\r\n“Change on the horizon is the one and only inevitable constant. I prepare for change by practicing the Art of Doing Nothing, which in essence is the Art of Being Present. I make minimal plans, I live in the unfolding of now. It is all planned for us, and in divine order!”\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>FIND OUT MORE ABOUT ONE YOGA SANTUARY</strong>\r\n\r\nOne Yoga Sanctuary offers yoga classes, as well as conscious movement and Thai Yoga Bodywork practices for man, woman and children of all ages and physical abilities.

She was wanted on one count of Homicide by Child Abuse for the death of her boyfriend’s daughter, 2-year-old Phylicia Anaya Garry.\r\n\r\nGarry was pronounced dead at noon last Thursday at MUSC, where she had been airlifted for a traumatic head injury sustained while in the care of Chisolm on the night of March 4. Chisolm initially reported that the child had fallen off a bed, but later admitted that she had struck the child in the head with a dumbbell.\r\n\r\nMedical care for Garry was not sought until more than three hours after she was injured, and only after a family member came home and discovered Garry unconscious and unresponsive on the couch.\r\n\r\nChisolm was originally charged with Unlawful Conduct Towards a Child for which she was released on bond last Wednesday night. Following Garry’s death, investigators upgraded Chisolm’s charge to Homicide and sought her for re-arrest.\r\n\r\nChisolm is being held at the Beaufort County Detention Center where she will remain pending a bond hearing.', 'News briefs', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'news-briefs-78', '', '', '2014-03-13 08:33:04', '2014-03-13 12:33:04', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=15428', 0, 'post', '', 0),

We are proud of the Duke students for volunteering their talents to our cancer program and our hospital, so it’s really a win-win.”\r\n\r\nProceeds from the concert support BMH’s Healing Arts Program at the Keyserling Cancer Center and in the main hospital.\r\n\r\nAs a special treat this year, the USCB chorus will join them on two of the pieces.\r\n\r\n“This is a wonderful opportunity for our students,” said Vic Varner, USCB music instructor and choral director. “How often do you get to have a 60-piece orchestra backing you up?”\r\n\r\nSteve and Vicki are no strangers to Beaufort Memorial. In addition to helping make the Duke Symphony Orchestra Concert a success, they have co-chaired the Valentine Ball and been loyal supporters of the BMH Foundation. Vicki has served on the board of the foundation, following in Steve’s mother’s footsteps. Today, Steve works in the hospital’s outpatient rehab program. An avid lepidopterist (butterfly collector), Steve even donated his breath-taking display of South American butterflies to BMH’s Healing Arts Program.\r\n\r\n“We knew the perfect place in the hospital for the butterfly display,” said BMHF Executive Director Alice Moss. “The piece hangs in our Women’s Imaging Center for patients and guests to enjoy while they wait; it is unique, beautiful and soothing.”\r\n\r\nSteve and Vicki are hoping the community will turn out to support this year’s concert at USCB’s Center for the Arts. Conductor Harry Davidson returns with over 60 Duke students to perform works of well-known and emerging classical composers.\r\n\r\n“The conductor really engages the audience,” says Vicki. “It adds a lot when he gives you background on the composer and the history of a piece before it is performed. We know this will be a special evening.”\r\n\r\nGeneral admission tickets are $35. Patron tickets start at $75 and include premium seating and an invitation to the post-concert conductor’s reception.

Freedman, addresses how mainstream medicine (Harvard, Yale, Duke and the Mayo Clinic) has adopted alternative healing practices into their integrative medical-research clinics.  For many years any alternative practice was touted as quackery, slammed as a waste of money, dangerous or scary because it was not approved by the FDA.  Lately, however, the word in those hallowed halls is that It Works.\r\n\r\nPart of that acceptance is because mainstream medicine is failing. Says Elizabeth Blackburn, biologist at the University of California at San Francisco, “Modern medicine was formed around successes in fighting infectious disease ... we could find out what the agent was and attack it medically.” Now, because of these advances, we live longer and the chronic diseases are what do us in — cancers, heart disease, diabetes, and obesity.  Blackburn continues, “We need to prevent and slow the onset of these diseases and we know ways of doing that.”  What are the ways? Healthy diet, more exercise and measures to reduce stress.\r\n\r\nWhile mainstream medicine focuses on the quick fix, alternative therapies focus on lifestyles, feelings and attitudes emphasizing stress reduction, healthier eating, exercise and encouraging a belief in self-healing.\r\n\r\nOkay, what does this have to do with dogs? All animals are born with a tremendous capacity to heal. In fact, most (up to 80 percent) dogs that experience a temporary illness will overcome the illness without costly intervention.  While traditional medicine is extremely valuable in diagnosing and treating acute disease, it’s the alternative approaches that address the treatment of chronic immune disease and cancer via long-term changes in “life-style.” Yes, your dog has a life style.\r\n\r\nLife style for dog means what he eats — does he eat cheap, bagged food from the grocery or does he eat a variety of fresh meats, fruits, grain and vegetables? What kind of exercise does he get — does he run freely on grass or swim in the ocean or does he plod around the block on concrete? Does he sit alone all day, get his bowl of kibble when you return from work and then sit alone all evening while you go out to play? Or, does ride shotgun when you do your errands and go visiting with friends? Does he have something to do, something to think about — does your dog run agility, is he a therapy dog or does he carry the mail back from the mailbox?\r\n\r\nThe alternative approach supports and encourages a brighter, dog-centric avenue to health. It includes hands-on therapies of massage, chiropractic and acupuncture. It includes energetic therapies such as Reiki, a hands-on healing therapy for mind, body and spirit. It includes gentle therapeutic adjustments with herbs, essential oils, vitamins and supplements. And oh, by the way, there is a real holistic, AHVMA certified vet in Aiken, just up the road.\r\n\r\nThe ideal solution is to combine the best of both allopathic and alternative medicine to offer your dog the best chances of returning to health. If your Best Friend breaks his leg, he needs to be taken to an emergency facility to have it diagnosed and “set.” Once done, then the patient needs to heal, by whatever means supports that the best way possible.  Sometimes that’s more than just a pill. Sometimes it’s looking at healing in a whole new way.\r\n<div></div>', 'Integrative therapy for you and your dog', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'integrative-therapy-for-you-and-your-dog', '', '', '2014-03-13 08:40:27', '2014-03-13 12:40:27', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=15435', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Beaufort March for Babies will take place on Saturday, April 12 at 9 a.m. at Naval Heritage Park in Port Royal. March for Babies Family Teams are family members and friends who have had a personal experience with a baby born prematurely.\r\n\r\n“Family teams are the heart and soul of the March for Babies, and they demonstrate first hand why it is so important to raise awareness and funds to support vital research that will help prevent premature birth” said Jimmy Boozer, 2014 Beaufort March for Babies Chairman. “We hope many new families will join us this year, and together we will take steps for healthier babies in our community and across the state.”\r\n\r\nOne in every seven babies born in Beaufort County is premature. Premature birth touches nearly 9,000 babies in South Carolina each year. Babies born too soon are more likely to die or have disabilities. The March of Dimes is committed to reducing this toll by funding research to find the causes and preventions of premature birth and providing comfort and information to families with a baby in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.\r\n\r\nFamilies are encouraged to register their team online by visiting marchforbabies.org or by calling 843-571-1776.\r\n\r\nMarch for Babies is the March of Dimes’ premier fundraising event benefiting all babies — those born healthy, as well as those who need help to survive and thrive. Funds raised by this March for Babies event also support research and grants awarded to programs that improve infant and maternal health in South Carolina.\r\n\r\nThis year’s local sponsors are Beaufort Memorial Hospital, Beaufort Pediatrics, Coastal Carolina Hospital and Hargray Communications.\r\n\r\nFor more than 75 years, moms and babies have benefited from March of Dimes research, education, vaccines, and breakthroughs.

The difficulties are the same, however, in all areas of life when it comes to resolving personal dilemmas.\r\n\r\nThe research presented in Parts I and II demonstrated that hard wiring, that we’re not even aware of is shading our decisions — hard wiring that’s helpful when we need to avoid getting bogged down in a maze of emotionalism, or an excess of options. It’s not so helpful when we want to step outside of ourselves and our own habitual thought patterns.\r\n\r\nFascinating stuff, but when we reach the bottom of the intellectual barrel, it seems that while research can tell us what we ARE doing, it can’t necessarily tell us WHAT to do. That is the land of the mystics, or at the opposite end of the spectrum, those that score high on personality tests for dominance — the decision makers at the upper echelon of the world.\r\n\r\nSome people pray when it comes to decisions, depending on God in even the smallest of life’s events, such as the random loss of an item around the house. If you’re a person of little faith, you might want to consider the speakers on the acclaimed video, “What the Bleep do we Know?” who postulate that quantum physics could be the method through which prayers are answered. God and science can hold hands quite nicely in the minds of some.\r\n\r\nOthers look to a quieting of the mind before even considering a critical decision. I once heard that to meditate is to learn, “to wait on nothing.”\r\n\r\nSome look to intuition, or a gut feeling.  “The gut and brain make the same hormones, which are chemical messengers, and they share receptor sites for these chemicals,” according to Larry Dossey, M.D. So why shouldn’t we allow a gut feeling to lead us along?\r\n\r\nWe have all seen the war of the mind and the gut played out in a movie at one time or another--to a character’s detriment. We watch as someone walks into an isolated area with a killer, despite that person feeling an obvious sense of imminent danger. In the few seconds they have to decide, the mind may be advising against the agitation of the gut. After all, you can’t just be rude and take off running, can you? The scream of the gut, quickly becomes a literal scream.\r\n\r\nOther times, our gut is simply churning in response to how the present so reminds us of the past, a time we made a mistake, and as a result we dodge a necessary decision, or fumble it.\r\n\r\nGreat leaders slide back and forth on the continuum noted at the outset. At one end of the spectrum, wherein the sage on the mountain resides, the mystic, you may be strongly advised to a serenity of the spirit before all else: “The heart of the wise man lies quiet like limpid water,” a Cameroonian saying. Without that quiet heart, writer P.L. Travers tells us the “spark of instructive fire” to be found in a half-heard conversation, a dream, a random phrase from a song you can’t get out of your head, can’t really be heard.\r\n\r\nAt the other end of the line, facts, deliberation, and experience are more the rule.\r\n\r\nNo matter which end of the continuum you personally tend to persist in, the trick to making good decisions is being able to distinguish between emotionalism and facts. To use passion, not be used by it.\r\n<div></div>', 'Decision trees be damned: Part III', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'decision-trees-be-damned-part-iii', '', '', '2014-03-13 09:07:33', '2014-03-13 13:07:33', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=15454', 0, 'post', '', 0),

The stories shared here exemplify some of the work United Way of the Lowcountry does.\r\n\r\nTruly destitute people come into the United Way in desperate circumstances. One homeless man came in because his wife made $4 over the public assistance level and he couldn’t provide for their children, so he wanted to know if there was a “drop-off” location he could take his children to so they could be fed. He felt he had to sacrifice the parental bond to give his children a better life.\r\n\r\nIn another instance, a rape victim had no safe place to stay and the CODA (domestic abuse) shelter was full, so United Way (which had been contacted by Hope Haven, the rape crisis center) arranged for her to stay in a low-cost motel for a night and gave her funds for bus transportation to stay with friends and relatives away from the area.\r\n\r\nThese acts of compassion were possible because citizens in this area help fund the United Way and its member agencies. Without the resources supplied by United Way, where would that man have taken his children or what would that young lady have done? Compassion made the difference and it appears in many different forms.\r\n\r\n<i>Contact CompassionateStory@gmail.com if you hear of, see, or are involved in such acts of caring and sharing. We all need to share in the conversation about what makes Beaufort a compassionate city and publicizing such stories is one way to do it.

(15458, 4, '2014-03-13 09:09:23', '2014-03-13 13:09:23', '<b>By Takiya Smith</b>\r\n\r\nAt the beginning of the year, I sat down to re-evaluate my life. I wanted to prioritize what was necessary and categorize what could wait. I took the entire first week of the year off to rest, plan out my next steps in business, refocus my prayer life and spend some time with my kids. During this time, what was planned to only be a week turned into about two months as I allowed God to order my steps and show me exactly what was a priority.\r\n\r\nDuring the first week, because of time off, I was free to pick up both of my kids from their schools so they didn’t have to ride the bus home or be shuffled off to after-care while I worked late nights. With no time constraints to get back to work, it was a leisure to hang out at the waterfront for ice cream or head over to Pigeon Point Park to run around, play and be silly.\r\n\r\nEven after getting home, the ease of sitting down to go over my son’s homework was stress-free without the interruption of my cell phone beeping, chiming and ringing with the sounds of appointment requests or inquiries. At the top of my “priority list” was to hire a personal assistant, and as soon as that was done, phones and schedules were now non-existent in my world.\r\n\r\nAs my week off neared to a swift end, it was during this time that I truly began to realize just how much I desired and longed to be “at home.” I enjoyed getting up to cook and sit down to a hot breakfast with my kids. I looked forward to our morning chats on the drive to school. I loved coming home to a quiet house to sit in silence as I let the peace of God flood my house and heart in prayer and bible study. It felt great to start dinner and have it prepped and ready at a decent hour rather than our “every man for himself” free-for-all of the cabinets and fridge that happened more often than not on regular busy nights. More importantly, it melted my heart to see my 10 year old’s face light up everyday that I was free to pick him up from school. To top it off, my 16 year old and I became closer than close with our daily routine of hitting happy hour at Sonic for cherry and cranberry limeades, and peanut M&amp;M’s from the dollar store.\r\n\r\nA discovery had been made, direction had been given and a change was on the horizon. This entrepreneur was about to embark on a new path to success and it was simply, yet fulfillingly, called motherhood. Somewhere, in the midst of beauty and business, I had not forgotten it nor neglected it but had unintentionally miscategorized it. Next to God, it was my Number 1 priority and He was beautifully reminding me of that. No home or house is perfect but each family possesses a unique aspect of individuality that should be inspected, examined, explored and accessed.\r\n\r\nAs I began to listen to my heart guiding my desires, I heard the call and need of my children wanting their mother. My son was struggling in math and my daughter was coping with having to “grow up” too soon while attempting to take on responsibilities that were mine that she somehow felt were hers — tasks such as assisting her younger brother with homework, cooking dinner and even offering to help me pay bills with her own hard earned money. None the less, while I raise strong, independent and responsible children, this is not exactly what I had in mind nor intended to happen for them.\r\n\r\nSo, here’s the deal: Three months in and this “mompreneur” has prioritized a life of family first, business second and all else one day at a time. Many of you may have noticed my decreased hours at work, a shift in structure of the business and a column here and there. However, my dear friends, I am going nowhere. Balance was of the utmost importance and I have found that I can do it all with relevant respect to each of my assigned tasks and talents. I am still taking and picking up my kiddos daily at school, my son has brought his grades up two levels, every Monday is still happy hour at Sonic with my daughter, and after homework every evening is still a family dinner time together. In the midst of it all, the businesses are still prospering, the release of my second book is on the way, and coming in April I have a splendid, new and exciting surprise just for you all.\r\n\r\nI told you, beauty is my business — but I’m a mom first!\r\n\r\n<i>Takiya La’Shaune Smith, mother, 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.

(15460, 4, '2014-03-13 09:10:05', '2014-03-13 13:10:05', '<b>By Cherimie Crane Weatherford</b>\r\n\r\nIn the harrowing heat of an unforgiving Mississippi summer, swimming holes were not only a respite from soaring temperatures but also an undeniable microcosm of the challenges in life.\r\n\r\nTraveling at impressive speeds on gravel-roughened feet, we ran through thickets, thorns and thousands of heat forsaken blades of grass in pursuit of even one dunk in the magical murky water. As kids we were blissfully ignorant of what lies beneath, caring not what swims across and weighing the consequences of parental wrath against the impending adventure of blindly jumping into the comfort of the unknown.\r\n\r\nThe saga of the forbidden swimming hole continued summer after sweltering summer. We snubbed the safety of chlorine, the whimsy of water parks and no sprinkler system, no matter how impressive, could deter our focus.\r\n\r\nThe swimming hole was nestled at the bottom of a well-traveled foothill in deep south Mississippi, full of bass, brim, most species of snake and, at just the right time, layered with the ever-so-sticky frog eggs. To me, it was the essence of summer, to Momma it was the prelude to many a visit to the ER. It was an impossible task to mask a dunk in the dirty water — the tell tale mud in the ears or twigs in my matted mane made even the most creative of explanation pale in the light of the obvious. The summer battle waged on, worth every solitary stand.\r\n\r\nAs age set in and blissful ignorance turned to sudden acceptance of potential danger, the waters still drew me in, just less often and with bated hesitation. Funny how something so mindless morphs into a parody of life. The mystery of what lies beneath, the mistrust of what swims across and the inevitable effort necessary for an impending Momma interrogation increased as the urge to leap lessened. The thicket grew less disturbed, the frog eggs hatched in place, and as time went on the swimming hole seemed to sit quietly like an awkward soul at a summer social. Organized events in contained chlorine took precedence as the war of muddy water subsided.\r\n\r\nSoon enough, life took me to farther lands, more expansive pastures and all too often much murkier waters. Drawing from the memories of blindly jumping for the simple sake of jumping, I take risk after calculated risk, sinking almost as much as I swim but swimming nonetheless. Dodging frog eggs, respecting predatory encounters and accepting the occasional twig in matted hair, I jump. Maybe it is a soulful attempt at recapturing the magic of that first summer splash or maybe I swallowed too many frog eggs. Regardless, the familiar urge lives uncontested.\r\n\r\nBusiness ownership is much like my days in muddy waters, less soothing on many occasions but the decadent draw and the desire to navigate the unknown keeps my time-matured interest and life-toughened feet at the ready. More intrinsic the appeal and more complicated the consequence, I do the unpopular.\r\n\r\nMy little business is set to expand. Greater risk, admittedly murkier waters and no doubt higher temperatures lay ahead. Plenty of safer waters abound than building a retail business in the dead heat of the wonder of the World Wide Web. Perhaps caution would serve me well, perhaps maintaining only one career would suffice. It is possible I could happily soak in the safer waters, but what fun is seeing the bottom prior to jumping?\r\n<div></div>', 'What fun is seeing the bottom before jumping?', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'what-fun-is-seeing-the-bottom-before-jumping', '', '', '2014-03-13 09:10:05', '2014-03-13 13:10:05', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=15460', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Now that I have been blessed with the senior reaches of adulthood, I am equally known by Angus. Angus and Duncan reflect my Scottish heritage. My mother was a McLeod so I am very pleased with my bloodline and having three tartans to fashion someday in the next millennium.  The Fordham linage heralds from England and I am equally proud of another European heritage.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_15485\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"251\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Profile-Fordham-3-13.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-15485\" alt=\"Angus Fordham and his wife Sally with their two grandchildren, Ada, 5, and Mariah, 7.\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Profile-Fordham-3-13-251x300.jpg\" width=\"251\" height=\"300\" /></a> Angus Fordham and his wife Sally with their two grandchildren, Ada, 5, and Mariah, 7.[/caption]\r\n\r\nMy mother was a McLeod-Chandler, the Chandler clan being from Boston.  The Chandlers were  maritime sailmakers from way back and outfitted many of the sea going vessels of the time.  In a factory in New York City and later Savannah, Ga., canvas products were fabricated not only for the maritime trade but also for the military during the Civil War, and World Wars I and II.  (One great-grandfather was making tents for the Union Army and the sheiks in Saudi Arabia while my other great-grandfather wore the uniform of the Confederate militia.) The first canvas bases in major league baseball were fabricated in this factory.\r\n\r\nMy McLeod grandparents lived on the farm in Seabrook where granddad was a second generation farmer. He was a vegetable farmer and grew many varieties and shipped his fresh crops up and down the entire Eastern seaboard. He was followed by three more generations of family farmers. Today, many of the old barns and buildings still stand in disrepair, but they are a reminder of the glory days of Lowcountry truck farming.  My mother was born in the wonderful home that my cousin still lives in and he and his family completely renovated a few years back.\r\n\r\nMy father, Angus Fordham, Sr., was born in Alamo, Ga., and settled in Beaufort in the 1920’s. Angus was the first in his family to attend college after a friend lured him to Clemson A&amp;M to play football and baseball. As jobs were scarce at the time during The Great Depression, he first worked in North Carolina. Wanting to return to Beaufort, he ran for the Superintendent of Education position and was pretty surprised when he was elected, but now indeed had a job. As an Army reservist, he was called for WWII and left for the Pacific Theater and ended his Army career in 1945.\r\n\r\nHe returned to Beaufort and in 1946 opened Fordhams hardware store  downtown.  He and his brother Mark operated this enterprise for more than 40 years. That same year, dad was talked  into running for the office of mayor of Beaufort, a position he held for 17 years.\r\n\r\nI was raised in Beaufort along with ‘the best sister in the world’, Marjorie Fordham Trask. She still lives in and takes loving care of the family home on Bay Street. Grandfather McLeod purchased this home in 1910 because Grandmother Hope wanted to leave the farm and move to “the city” and live on Bay Street where she could watch the occasional horse carriages pass by.\r\n\r\nThe Beaufort river was our playground where we spent our time bogging, sailing and swimming from the dock in front of the house across Bay Street.\r\n\r\nI attended all 12 years of grammar and high school in this town. I always had a job at the hardware store.  One summer, my main duty was to sit in the front window on Bay Street and operate the big display of Lionel trains.  There were fun occasions when I would work on the Seabrook farm with some of my cousins. (The farm pay was also much better!) A good memory was at lunch time when all of us “hands” assembled in the country store across the railroad tracks and dined straight from the wood box on salted smoke herring along with oversize no taste soda crackers. The fine dining was complete when we reached into the big glass jars and were treated to a Johnny Cake.\r\n\r\nMy first loves were the river and hunting in the plentiful fields and woods.  I was gifted my first 13 ft. bateau powered by a 7 ½ hp Scott-Atwater on my 10th birthday.  I kept this boat down on the river shore on Bay Street.  There were usually about a half dozen small boats tied up here belonging to local crabbers. My boat was the easiest to spot because it was the only painted one in the group.  Back in that time, even as a little guy, when I got home after school, I would load my motor and gear and head down the river, never telling a sole where I was or headed. That is the way it was. The culture then would bring gasps today. I owned my first shotgun and .22 rifle before 10 years of age and a 9 shot .22 cal. handgun probably before 15 years, and my own automobile at 16.\r\n\r\nI graduated from The Citadel in 1962.  My major accomplishments there were, one, survival and graduate with my class; and two, a member of the undefeated Citadel rifle team NRA Intercollegiate, SC and Southern Conference championships.\r\n\r\nSoon after graduation, I had my first real job, a platoon leader in the U.S. Army. I am proud to have served two years in West Germany with the U.S. Army’s Fifth Corps and in the Army’s  Ready Reserve for a total of six years.\r\n\r\nIn the mid-1960s, I joined my family in the hardware business. In 1969 we opened a second location when my brother in law, Paul Trask Sr., built the Beaufort Plaza Shopping Center. We had a good run here for over 20 years, our store located next door to the Winn-Dixie.\r\n\r\nDuring this era, I met a beautiful young lady, a dairy farmer’s daughter from Anderson, SC.  Sally was teaching  third grade in Beaufort and I am still blessed with her presence after 45 years of marriage.  We are further blessed with two wonderful daughters — Amy, who is Curator of Visual Resources in the Fine Arts Department at the University of Louisville, and Amanda, who has our two magnificent little granddaughters Mariah, 7, and Ada, 5. Our son-in-law Liam is a career Naval Officer. They live in Virginia.\r\n\r\nSally and I attend the church I was reared in, Carteret Street United Methodist Church, where Sally sings in the choir.\r\n\r\nWhen I returned to Beaufort as a young man, I was typically “tagged” into a multitude of civic activities. Notably to me, I am a past president and a Rotarian for 49 years, and also was delighted to be a past commodore of the Beaufort Water festival.\r\n\r\nIn 2003 a local realtor brought me an unsolicited sales contract to sell the hardware store property at 701 Bay Street. I was pleased with the offer and the thought of exiting the business world and at least semi-retire was extra pleasing. With mixed emotions,  I closed the doors of the family business after 57 years only to find out later that there was not going to be a sale after all and I had a 16,000-square-foot empty building.\r\n\r\nAt the suggestion of a business friend and with assistance from a business consultant, I reopened the building in 2004 in the name of Fordham Market.  My business plan was to lease space to medium to upscale retail business, local artists and artisans. We have been in operation for 10 years now and our slogan says it all, “A World of Shopping Under one Historic Roof.” We now operate with a fine coterie of tenants and staff.\r\n\r\nDowntown Beaufort is a great place to do business. It has a dynamic pulse of retail business, restaurants, art and professional people.\r\n\r\nThere have been some slow times over the years but nothing like what some writer penned recently,  that Downtown Beaufort was once “almost a ghost town with boarded-up store fronts.”  This is not accurate.  I know because I have been here. One reason we have weathered the likes of recessions is our pristine location. Downtown is completely surrounded on one side by magnificent antebellum homes and on the other side by the Intracoastal Waterway.\r\n\r\nI have retreated to my second story office and hope that our community leaders will continue to make the right decisions for this pearl of a town.\r\n\r\nI will end with this thought: Until the day that this town finally bites the bullet and removes the parking meters downtown, we will never reach our final destination and goal as a totally unique experience in shopping, dining and visiting in a beautiful historic waterfront town. Parking does need to be monitored and that can be done here because it is simple and done all over the world.\r\n\r\nAnd, as for a proposed building (or plural) near the downtown marina, I know council will consider, “why build just because there is a place to build?” This area is part of the “pristine” I just mentioned. In fairness, I look forward to seeing the plans being proposed.  The good reputation of these planners precede them and they could be convincing.\r\n\r\nAs I near my fourth quarter and my joints need more assistance, I have thoroughly enjoyed this experience. I am now ready to pass my keys on to the next generation — or maybe to someone who will have some fresh new ideas for this Queen of the Sea Islands!', 'The Fordham behind Fordham Market', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'the-fordham-behind-fordham-market', '', '', '2014-03-13 09:35:33', '2014-03-13 13:35:33', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=15484', 0, 'post', '', 1),

Whale Branch formed an alliance with 21st-ranked Bluffton and the 11th-ranked “Fembots” from Palmetto Scholars Academy in North Charleston, then the three teams fought their way to the championship.\r\n\r\nWhale Branch robotics coach Tammy Vaught said her team’s seventh-ranked alliance with Bluffton and Palmetto Scholars Academy was viewed as a long shot by the VEX crowd because the No. 1 alliance they faced for the championship had dominated their semi-final matchup and scored five times as many points as their opponents.   But the alliance featuring the two Beaufort County teams won the best two-of-three championship round.\r\n\r\n“The kids had a plan, and they executed it perfectly,” Vaught said.  “It took all three teams working together to win this state championship.”\r\n\r\nThe goal of robotics competitions is for students to learn engineering, math, marketing, research and leadership skills that will help prepare them for high-tech jobs and future education.\r\n\r\n“To have two of our district’s high schools win this championship — and to see them win by joining forces with each other and a third school — is more than merely satisfying,” said Superintendent Jeff Moss.  “It demonstrates that our students understand how to work effectively as a team, and those skills will help them in the careers they pursue after they leave school.”\r\n\r\nThe students on the Whale Branch “Robo Warriors” team were: Geordy DelCid; Da’Shawn Smith; Rakeem Pippins; Johnnie Fields; Jerevonte Middleton; Auntarious Butler; Jakob Lambert and Aurora Lopez.\r\n\r\n<b>Cougar Robotics Team</b>\r\n\r\n<b>The Cougar Robotics Team from Lady’s Island Middle School competed last Saturday in the Palmetto State VEX Championships in Chapin.

Stanback Museum and Planetarium at SC State University, has only been seen twice in the 45 years since its creation in 1969, first at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and then in 2007, at the Stanback Museum.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/images.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-15515\" alt=\"images\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/images.jpg\" width=\"225\" height=\"225\" /></a>Long before Harlem became one of the trendiest neighborhoods in the real estate market of Manhattan, it was a metaphor for African American culture at its richest. <i>Harlem on My Mind</i> is the classic record of Harlem life during some of the most exciting and turbulent years of its history, a beautiful and poignant reminder of a powerful moment in American history.\r\n\r\nThe exhibition, created in 1968 for the Metropolitan Museum of Art, records the struggle to establish an urban black culture in 20th century industrialized America. Documenting life in Harlem from 1900 to 1968, it surveys the changing character of Harlem during each decade, the continuing relevance of South-North problems, the major historical events, and the leading figures associated with Harlem, particularly in literature, theater, politics, music, art and commerce.\r\n\r\nBy moving through the exhibition galleries, it is possible to witness history unfold and to sense what people might have thought and felt at those times: from white to black Harlem at the beginning of the century, the jazz age of the twenties, depression and hard times in the thirties, World War II at home and abroad, frustration in the fifties and militancy and identity in the sixties.\r\n\r\nThe exhibition opening at Penn Center contains selections from the collection donated to the Stanback Museum by the New York Public Library’s Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, where it was housed following the closing of the exhibition at the Met. The exhibition features work by some of Harlem’s most treasured photographers, among them James Van Der Zee and Aaron Siskind and includes photographic murals of Harlem’s literary lights, its politicians, its musicians and everyday people who gave life to this legendary community.\r\n\r\n<i>Harlem on My Mind </i>will be on exhibit at the York W. Bailey Museum from March 21 until May 3, 2014.  The photographic exhibit is suitable for all audiences, is historically and educationally significant and provides an enriching glimpse of a proud community and its people whose likeness has been captured in-perpetuity. This is the first exhibition presented through collaboration between Penn Center’s York W. Bailey Museum and South Carolina State’s I. P. Stanback Museum &amp; Planetarium.\r\n\r\nThe exhibit shares its opening reception on Friday, March 21 with a ceremony at the Arnett House on Penn’s historic grounds beginning at 5:30 p.m. and the grand opening of Penn Center’s Welcome Center starting at 6 p.m.\r\n\r\nArnett House, built in 1937 by St. Helena islanders and Penn School students, was used as housing for student teachers from South Carolina State College working in schools within the county.  The Welcome Center grand opening will take place immediately after the Arnett House ceremony.  The Welcome Center is conveniently located in The SHED at Penn Center next to the museum. The center offers the largest selection of books on Gullah Geechee culture and Penn Center’s history, artwork by area artisans — sweetgrass baskets, original paintings, Gullah wood-burnings, pottery — and Penn Center souvenirs.\r\n\r\nThe public is invited to attend all the events on Friday, March 21.

Ten years later, after “Werther” had become the rage throughout most of Europe, the Comique finally laughed it off and added it to their repertoire. In the next 50 years it was performed there more than 1,300 times!\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_15521\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"200\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Arts-Opera-Werther-3-13.jpg\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-15521\" alt=\"Jonas Kaufmann plays the title role in Massenet’s “Werther.”\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Arts-Opera-Werther-3-13.jpg\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" /></a> Jonas Kaufmann plays the title role in Massenet’s “Werther.”[/caption]\r\n\r\nSir Denis Forman, a refreshingly irreverent opera author, considers “Werther” to be one of the simplest stories in all of opera. He short-forms it this way: “It’s the one where a young poet falls in love with a girl who is about to marry someone else. He says that unless she leaves her fiance he will kill himself. She doesn’t. He does.”\r\n\r\n<b>Principal cast:</b> Werther, a young poet; Charlotte, daughter of the Bailiff; Sophie, her younger sister; Bailiff, their father; and Albert, engaged to Charlotte.\r\n\r\n<b>Act I:</b> The widowed Bailiff teaches his younger children a Christmas carol in July. Charlotte dresses for a ball. Since her intended, Albert, is away, she is escorted by the gloomy Werther who arrives and watches as Charlotte prepares her young siblings’ supper. He greets Charlotte and they leave for the ball. Albert returns unexpectedly after a long trip. Disappointed that she went to the ball with Werther,  she is reassured and consoled by Sophie. He leaves after promising to return in the morning. Werther and Charlotte return very late, and he is now enamoured of her. His declaration of love is interrupted when Albert returns. To Werther’s despair, Charlotte recalls how she promised her dying mother she would marry Albert.\r\n\r\n<b>Act II:</b> It is three months later, and Charlotte and Albert are now married. They walk happily to church, followed by the disconsolate Werther. Later, when Charlotte exits the church, he speaks to her of their first meeting. Charlotte begs him not to visit her again until Christmas Day. Werther contemplates suicide as he encounters Sophie, but the tearful girl does not understand his distressing behavior. Albert now realizes that Werther loves Charlotte.\r\n\r\n<b>Act III:</b> Charlotte is at home alone on Christmas Eve. She spends time reading Werther’s letters to herself, wondering how the young poet is and how she had the strength to send him away. Suddenly Werther appears, and while he reads her poetry, he realizes that she returns his love. They embrace for a moment, but she quickly bids him farewell. He leaves, again with thoughts of suicide. Albert returns to find his wife distraught. Werther has sent a message to Albert requesting to borrow his pistols, explaining he is going on an extended trip. A servant is sent to deliver the pistols. Charlotte has a terrible premonition and hurries to find Werther. For the brief final act at Werther’s apartment, Charlotte has arrived too late. Werther is dying. She consoles him by declaring her love. He asks for forgiveness. After he dies, Charlotte faints. Outside children are heard singing a Christmas carol. This synopsis courtesy of<i> Opera News</i>.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<b>Musical highlights</b>\r\n\r\n<b>Act I:</b> Werther: <b>“O Nature, pleine de grace” </b>(O nature, full of grace), expressing delight at the country atmosphere with a beautiful aria. Werther, Charlotte duet: <b>“Il faut nous separer”</b> (Our ways divide us). Werther declares his love for her in a fine example of Massenet’s many qualities as a gifted composer.\r\n\r\n<b>Act II:</b> Werther: <b>“J’aurais sur ma portrine”</b> (I might have held her...) as he now knows that she is married to Albert. It’s fast and tuneful, but ends with his final cry of despair.\r\n\r\n<b>Act III:</b> Charlotte: The letter scene.  <b>“Qui m’auriat dit”</b> (Who could have told me...) finds her reading Werther’s earlier letters, bringing her to the verge of hysteria. This moving scene is almost as powerfully rich as Tatiana’s Letter Scene in “Eugene Onegin.” Charlotte: <b>“Ciel! Werther!”</b> she cries out upon his entry, leading to what is perhaps the best scene in the opera, as they express their mutual love. Werther: <b>“Pourquoi me revellier?</b> (Wake me not...), he asks himself after reading a poem to her about tragic love. Over time, this has become one of Massenet’s most popular arias. The brief final act — continued without an intermission — brings the lovers together before he dies.\r\n\r\nHere are a few extractions from a February review of “Werther” by the <i>Wall Street Journal’s</i> Heidi Waleson, one of opera’s more distinguished critics. She calls Jonas Kaufmann’s third act aria “such a real cry of psychic pain that thunderous applause afterward felt like an intrusion on a private moment.” Sophie Koch as Charlotte is complimented for “her focused, laser-like mezzo, with its fast vibrato and dramatic amplitude.” Together, the Met showcases “riveting performances by a pair of stunning leads.”\r\n\r\nAnd finally, a somewhat lighter take from <i>The Washington Post’s</i> Anne Midgette: “Werther is about one of those annoying people who persists in nursing an unrealistic crush on an unattainable woman to the point of obsession. Do I know Werther? I used to <i>date</i> Werther!”\r\n\r\n“Werther” will be shown live at USCB Center for the Arts, 801 Carteret Street, on Saturday, March 15 at 12:55 p.m. Tickets for adults are $22; OLLI members $18; students $15.

Really, though, just tasting, not drinking. And I was trying hard, in the dim lighting, to see the bottles clearly, especially one of them because I kind of really liked that one and I wanted to make sure I remembered which one is which.  After sitting, sipping, squinting to see the bottles, the one I liked seemed to have what looks sort like a weird label. So, I sat, sipped, tasted and squinted some more.\r\n\r\nFinally, one last squint at the label, I got my nerve up to ask, “Is that a picture of a guy, astronaut kind of guy, holding a flag that he’s planting somewhere?” Looks like an astronaut planting a flag on the moon, claiming it for all of us? Our moon?” But, no, I was completely wrong. Thanks a lot dim lights!\r\n\r\nBut, wrong or not about the label, this is our wine for the week from Italy, Tuscany actually.\r\n\r\nTuscany is a region located on the western coast of Italy. If you think of Italy as a boot, because that’s what it is sort shaped like, Tuscany is on the front of the leg, just above the knee. After Piedmont and the Veneto, two more northern regions, Tuscany is the country’s third biggest wine producing region. And, behind Sicily and Apulia, more southern regions, it is the third most heavily planted region. Tuscany is the source for some of Italy’s best known wines: the red wines Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, all based on Sangiovese grapes; Vernaccia di San Gimignano, a white; and Vin Santo, a dessert wine.\r\n\r\nThere are 33 DOC wines made in Tuscany, and nine of the country’s top level DOCG wines. In addition, since the 1970’s, there are “Super Tuscans,” wines of very high quality that do not follow the laws of specific DOCs and DOCGs.\r\n\r\nAlthough we have recently discussed the basic history of wine in Tuscany, let’s repeat a few bits and pieces. Repetition is one way to help us all learn more, but information also makes each wine we taste more interesting.\r\n\r\nWine in the Tuscan region dates back to the 8th century BC with the Etruscans, a lot further back than many other regions. Being located just to the north of Rome played a huge part in the development of wine in Tuscany.\r\n\r\nThe wine trade of Tuscany was based, back in time, in Florence where a wine guild was established in 1282. This guild regulated how Florentine merchants could sell wines, which wines, and more. Remember the law prohibiting the sale of wine within 100 yards of a church?  And no sales to children? Some things have not changed much since the 13th century. And some have.\r\n\r\nThe first recorded mention of Chianti described it as a white wine. Really. In 1685, a Tuscan author wrote a poem, 980 lines long, about the wines of Tuscany. (I have to guess he was doing some serious tasting, as well.)  Just after the Napoleonic Wars, at the beginning of the 19th century, Bettino Ricasoli, a statesman, inherited his family’s estate in Broglio, right in the heart of the Chianti Classico zone. Ricasoli worked to improve the estate and the quality of their wines. He traveled in France and Germany, brought back several new grape varieties and new vineyard and winemaking practices. With all his work, though, he found that the three varieties, already at home in Tuscany, did better there — Sangiovese, Cannaiolo and Malvasia. And, you guessed it, Sangiovese is our main grape for this week.\r\n\r\nSangiovese is the main variety of Tuscany for many reasons. It is the most widely planted grape in Italy and grows easily and has high yields. The hot, dry climate of Tuscany with its limestone soil, good for drainage, on south facing slopes makes an excellent home for this grape. Sangiovese is thin-skinned, ripens late and produces rich, alcoholic wines that last well. Its wines are fruity and naturally acidic, with aromas that are not aggressive (cherries, almonds, soil), and pairs well with Italian foods.  The majority of Tuscany’s vineyards are located at elevations of 500 to 1,600 feet, and get a lot of direct sun.\r\n\r\nEven though Sangiovese is Tuscany’s most planted grape, different clones exist, 14 clones actually. Many towns claim their own clone — a result of the grape adapting to specific soils and micro-climates. Also, Sangiovese is very “oak friendly.” Traditional style Sangiovese wines show herbal and bitter cherry notes. Modern style wines from this grape show more fruit flavors, including plums and mulberries, vanilla notes from the oak barrels, and spice flavors. In the case of non-traditional Tuscan wines, including the “Super Tuscans,” the addition of small amounts of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot or Syrah adds smoothness and body to the finished wine.\r\n\r\nAll of which brings us to our winery for this week’s wine: Banfi. Castello Banfi is a family owned estate and winery located in the Brunello area of Tuscany. Banfi operates on the philosophy of blending tradition with innovation. Their estate’s single vineyards are made up of over three dozen different sub-soils. On top of which, they do ongoing research on different clones. Four times the Castello Banfi estate vineyard in Montalcino has been named “Winery of the Year.” Their operations now include many Tuscan DOCs and DOCGs, other Italian wines, as well as some wines from Chile and Spain.\r\n\r\nAll of which gets us to BelnerO, not a typo. This red wine is spelled “BelnerO.”  (Big “B” and big “O.”)  This is a proprietary blend, yes a Super Tuscan, sort of. The exact blend varies a bit from year to year, but always mostly Sangiovese with small amounts of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. These are all estate grown grapes, from the stony, calcareous soil of Montalcino’s southern hills.\r\n\r\nThe grapes are fermented in Banfi’s patented temperature controlled French oak barrels. Then, the wine is aged for 14 months more.  It is not filtered. (That means we get a bigger textured wine.) The wine is a deep, intense purply red color. It has vanilla, tobacco and coffee aromas with cherry jam and prune fruit scents. The wine is smooth and soft in your mouth, with good tannins and a long, lingering finish.\r\n\r\nEven though this wine comes from a great Chianti producer, it is a completely different style of Sangiovese, which is the whole point of blending, studying clones and everything else this company works to do.\r\n\r\nSo, we have a new, smooth and wonderfully flavorful wine that pairs well with beef, game, heavy seafood dishes, aged cheeses and friends.\r\n\r\nAnd don’t forget the dim lights. You may not be able to see that the label is a knight in armor, planting his flag in a vineyard in Tuscany, but that’s OK. Plant some Banfi BelnerO in your glass, it’s New World style with Old World history. This wine will make your evening. For $24.99.

Today there are options being explored to provide more parking in downtown Beaufort. Verity said redeveloping this location could be key to jumpstarting renewed interest in the downtown Beaufort shopping district and boosting the economy.\r\n\r\nThe property anchors a corner of the core commercial district and serves as a gateway to the Bay Street entertainment row, Carteret Street’s restaurant row, and to The Point’s historic homes.\r\n\r\nThe approximate four-acre site is between Bay Street and the Beaufort River. It is adjacent to the city-owned Downtown Marina, two public parks — Freedom Park and Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park — and the downtown shopping and restaurant district.\r\n\r\nAn analysis of the city’s retail, restaurant and hospitality economics by Seth Harry Associates identified redevelopment of the marina site as the best opportunity for making downtown more relevant to regional and local consumers. It also offers an opportunity to strengthen the business climate by attracting consumers with higher disposable incomes to shop, to work and to live downtown, which should result in better operating results for the city, said City Manager Scott Dadson.\r\n\r\nHistoric Marina Partners, LLC is led by Steve Navarro, president of The Furman Co., and Jim Chaffin with Chaffin/Light.\r\n\r\nThe Furman Co. Inc, established in 1888, is a leading full service real estate firm based in Greenville.\r\n\r\nChaffin is the co-founder with James W. Light of Chaffin/Light Associates. With over 40 years of experience in resort/recreation community development, Chaffin and Light have developed communities in Colorado, California, and Spring Island in Beaufort County. Chaffin, a Beaufort-area resident, is also a past chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Urban Land Institute.', 'First presentation, public meeting set for redevelopment of downtown marina parking lot', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'first-presentation-public-meeting-set-for-redevelopment-of-downtown-marina-parking-lot', '', '', '2014-03-20 09:46:32', '2014-03-20 13:46:32', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=15549', 0, 'post', '', 0),

A variety of aircraft will be on display. There will also be static displays from the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office, Beaufort County EMS and the Lady’s Island/St. Helena Fire Department. In addition, several aeronautical organizations will have table displays allowing the public to learn more about their product or service.\r\n\r\nSaturday, April 26, 2014 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., the second Air Day event will take place at Signature Flight Support across the tarmac from the Hilton Head Island Airport.\r\n\r\nThe event costs $5 for adults and is free for children.\r\n\r\n<b>See grand opening, tour new Coroner’s Office</b><b> </b>\r\n\r\nBeaufort County Coroner Ed Allen, the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office and Port Royal’s Mayor Samuel Murray will be part of the grand opening ceremony for the new Coroner’s Office.\r\n\r\nThe ceremony will take place Monday, April 14, 2014 at 11 a.m. in front of the building located at 1804 Old Shell Road in Port Royal.

The contractor, JoCo Construction, has bored under Scott Street and an additional driveway access as part of the project.\r\n\r\nBy later this month, the entire southern side of Bay Street will have the old streetlights removed and work is scheduled to have started with pouring foundations to install the newer, brighter light fixtures and poles.\r\n\r\nFive of the existing gooseneck lights and their foundations already have been shut down, removed and placed into storage. Conduit, irrigation and a rock foundation have been put in the trench where the 16-inch brick band will improve the look of the sidewalk.\r\n\r\nLast Friday, work crews began removing debris from some parking spots so that they would be usable, though motorists were advised to use caution in those areas.\r\n\r\n“This isn’t as simple as unscrewing a light pole and bolting down the new one,” said Isiah Smalls, director of public works and facilities management for Beaufort. “The streetlights are connected in sections like Christmas tree lights, so we have to disconnect one section, remove the old poles and dig up the electrical connections.\r\n\r\n“That’s where the contractor has run into problems. They’ve found lines for phones, electricity, stormwater, sewer and even a natural gas line. When it comes to Bay Street and other parts of downtown, there’s no document that shows what all is underground — and that makes it slow-going when we do projects like this streetlight upgrade.”\r\n\r\nSidewalks along the river side of Bay Street remain open for pedestrians. Motorists are asked to use caution if parking near construction areas and to be aware of the orange fencing.\r\n\r\nOnce Bay Street’s lamps are installed, work will continue across downtown, including Carteret, Charles, Scott, West and Port Republic streets.\r\n\r\nMain Street Beaufort USA is working with city leaders to keep downtown businesses and visitors informed.', 'Downtown streetlight upgrades slowed  ', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'downtown-streetlight-upgrades-slowed', '', '', '2014-03-20 09:54:43', '2014-03-20 13:54:43', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=15559', 0, 'post', '', 0),

The members share a mutual compassion for the homeless community and are hoping to reach out to individuals in need in the future.\r\n\r\nSince 1969, a priority of the SC Jaycees has been to raise funds for Camp Hope, located in Pendleton, SC. Camp Hope is a statewide residential camp for citizens with disabilities.

Studies have shown that money is a frequent topic of arguments in many marriages. One of the reasons may be that couples don’t spend enough time talking about money before the “big day.”\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_15566\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"150\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/whitneybw.jpg\"><img class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-15566\" alt=\"Whitney McDaniel\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/whitneybw-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" /></a> Whitney McDaniel[/caption]\r\n\r\nMarriage is a many-splendored thing, but when you begin to peel away the layers, one important thing you find is a business arrangement — that’s just one reason why it’s called a marriage “contract.” And as with any business arrangement, in a marriage you have money flowing in and money flowing out. As long as the inflow exceeds the outflow, the arrangement usually works. But a marriage isn’t a typical business — there’s an emotional aspect to everything, including the couple’s finances. To help get the discussion started, here are some issues you should address together before you tie the knot.\r\n\r\n<b>Budgeting.</b> Some say that the key to financial success is to spend what you have after saving, rather than saving what’s left after spending.  Once you sit down and estimate your monthly income and expenses as a couple, it then becomes a matter of budgeting to control expenses and setting money aside to help achieve your goals.\r\n\r\n<b>Combining accounts.</b> As engaged individuals, you probably already have your own savings, checking, and brokerage accounts. But as a couple, do you want to combine everything into joint accounts or keep them separate? Having separate accounts lets each of you feel independent, knowing that you can tap your finances whenever the need arises. On the other hand, joining accounts can help unite your goals and create a more effective investment program.\r\n\r\n<b>Housing. </b>If each of you already own real estate, you will need to face issues with housing, including: Will you live in one spouse’s home, or sell both homes and purchase a new one together? What will be the likely tax consequences of selling – especially if the sale will result in substantial capital gains or losses?\r\n\r\n<b>Financial goals. </b>In today’s economy it’s important to set aside money for emergency expenses in case of sickness or job loss — experts recommend saving three to six months’ living expenses. That’s why it’s important to establish financial goals and determine your priorities as a couple. Do you want to dine out often, or eat in and save? How much do you want to spend on traveling and entertainment? How about for buying and decorating a home, leasing a car, etc.?\r\n\r\n<b>Debt. </b>Some people are raised to never borrow money unless it’s absolutely necessary. Others are taught that it is acceptable to take out a loan — even for a luxury item. Differing attitudes toward debt accumulation is just one reason it’s important to know before the wedding what, if any, debts each of you is bringing to the marriage. If there is debt, decide whether to combine it or to keep separate credit histories and records. Many experts recommend that each individual retain his or her own credit cards and credit history. Doing so helps ensure financial independence and provides greater flexibility if either of you finds yourself alone at some point in the future. Also, if one of you has a poor credit history, it may be advisable not to commingle debt in order to retain the other’s better credit rating.\r\n\r\n<b>Estate planning.</b> Addressing estate planning is vital, regardless of your age. When two people commit to legal responsibility for each other, it’s appropriate to talk about how they want to provide for an orderly transfer of assets. Included in the discussion should be considerations of the financial implications of life insurance and what would happen if a wage earner or work-at-home spouse were lost. Pay particular attention to beneficiary designations on life insurance policies, IRAs and 401(k) plans. These designations will supersede instructions for distributing assets included in a will or trust. Each provider — insurance company, financial institution or plan administrator — needs to be contacted to update the beneficiary designations on these valuable assets. (This step is particularly important in the case of a second marriage.)\r\n\r\nWhen appropriate, include your financial advisor, tax advisor, and attorney in financial discussions before you say, “I do.” Open and honest communication before your wedding day may help you avoid money arguments and financial problems in your marriage.\r\n\r\n<i>This article was written by Wells Fargo Advisors and provided courtesy of Whitney McDaniel, CFP®, Financial Advisor in Beaufort, SC at 843-524-1114</i>\r\n\r\n<i>Wells Fargo Advisors does not render legal or tax advice.
