Desperately seeking her own Mr. Darcy, Jane sinks her life savings into a trip to England to stay at an Austen-themed manor ruled by Mrs. Wattlesbrook (Jane Seymour) where everything is Austen, including the actors who court the lady visitors with decorous dalliance. Unfortunately, Jane could only afford the cut price package, so she finds herself drably costumed as a poor relation and relegated to flirting with the servants, notably the cute and approachable groom Martin (Bret McKenzie, “Flight of the Conchords”). Russell, earnest in Austen awe and game for the send-up, brings sparkle to the comedy as the woman who gets more than she bargained for when she tries to live her fantasy.\r\n\r\nUSCB Center for the Arts is located at 801 Carteret Street Beaufort SC.

Racism vs. Freedom.\r\n\r\n“One for the Road” is about an actor contemplating his own fate. “I am terrified,” he says, “by the knowledge that one day I will lose the ability to choose.” In the course of trying to be sure he has filled the “vessel of his humanity” sufficiently, he summons his own departed spirit, and together they consider the conflicts of his life in order to determine whether the demons and dragons have been conquered to the extent that he feels free to walk through the dark door into the light.

In contemplating his death, he glides right over the night he sipped bourbon with the late, great Tennessee Williams, but spares no detail in revisiting the skeletons in his closet. Patton’s humility throughout is infectious and he enthralls the audience with his charismatic confessions and incredibly diverse history.\r\n\r\n“Patton’s candor and humor create a compelling intimacy with his audience as he spins out a highlight reel of Billy’s checkered existence. This lengthy confession becomes another way of saying that life is much too important to take all that seriously,” wrote the Charleston City Paper.\r\n\r\nAs a former football player for the Charleston High School Bantams, Bill Patton is rooted in the Lowcountry. He is the author of four plays and for the past decade, Patton has been a director and acting instructor in theater programs in Charleston, and in Alexandria and Richmond, Va.\r\n\r\nBill Patton performs “One for the Road” in the black box theater at ARTworks, at 7:30 p.m. October 25 and 26, and at 3 p.m. October 27.

Instead of seeing how many presents they could get, these extraordinary children decided to help out other people instead.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_13320\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"248\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/DSCF2107.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-13320\" alt=\"Jack McDougall and Abigail Henry at HELP of Beaufort.

By Captured Moments Photography[/caption]\r\n\r\nOn Abigail’s 6th birthday in 2011, she decided to ask all her guests to bring food for the needy instead of presents for herself.  She collected a huge amount of food and donated it to HELP of Beaufort. Since that day, she has come to HELP to assist in sorting clothes and food, and to help out in any way she can.\r\n\r\nJack McDougall also celebrated his birthday recently and he decided to do the same thing. These two children did not know each other, but had the same plan — to help the less fortunate. In addition, Jack took the extra money he received for his birthday and went with his mother, Shawn McDougall, to purchase more food. She decided to match Jack’s funds and doubled his amount to purchase even more food. Jack is also looking forward to coming to HELP to assist in any way he can.\r\n\r\nSteve Curless, president of HELP of Beaufort, said these two children are an example for all of us. “It takes so little to touch a life.  We want to not only thank Abigail and Jack for their kindness and generosity, but to also commend their parents, Amy and Brian Henry, and Shawn and Lin McDougall. They are exceptional parents who strive to teach their children that there is so much more to life than just birthday parties and gifts,” Curless said.\r\n\r\nFor more information about the local nonprofit food bank, call 843-252-2710 or email helpofbft@centurylink.net.\r\n<div></div>', 'Generous kids forgo gifts for chance to give back', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'generous-kids-forgo-gifts-for-chance-to-give-back', '', '', '2013-10-10 08:31:17', '2013-10-10 12:31:17', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=13319', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Clark’s co-defendants, two 15-year-old males and a 14-year-old male, were also arrested and have been transported to the Department of Juvenile Justice in Columbia. They will face the same charges as Clark, however, will be tried as juveniles through Family Court.\r\n\r\nAll four teens were identified as the suspects who attacked a 57-year-old male as he was walking home at Seabrook Mobile Home Park on the night of September 27.\r\n\r\nThe victim reported that he was walking to his home on Martin Lane when the suspects, one of whom was armed with a handgun, approached him. The suspects demanded money, but when the victim told them he did not have any, they punched him in the face, knocking him to the ground. The suspects continued to punch and kick the victim several times before taking his EBT card and cigarette lighters.

Since this time, county officials sought to improve the efficiency of the appeal process and solicited new members to serve on the Tax Equalization Board to increase the total number of board members. The new board consists of 15 members from across the county whereas the prior board was made up of 7 members. The new board will also be able to split into multiple conference panels to maximize the number of cases that can be heard in any given month.\r\n\r\n“The restructuring of the board is going to significantly expedite the process of conducting these conferences,” said County Attorney Josh Gruber.\r\n\r\nThe conferences will take place in Beaufort Council Chambers and at the Hilton Head Beaufort Government Center South on October 30 to accommodate taxpayers who live both North and South of the Broad River.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<b>Historic District earns national recognition</b>\r\n\r\nBeaufort’s well-preserved and well-protected National Landmark Historic District earned another distinction: The American Planning Association named it one of “10 Great Neighborhoods.”\r\n\r\nThe planning organization’s Great Places exemplify exceptional character and highlight the role planning and planners play in adding value to communities, including fostering economic growth and jobs, according to APA Chief Executive Officer Paul Farmer, FAICP.\r\n\r\nBeaufort’s 304-acre historic district was recognized for its well-preserved architecture, sustainable design, natural features and focus on planning. The neighborhood’s beauty and history engender a strong sense of place — and even stronger sense of community.\r\n\r\n“For more than 300 years, Beaufort has maintained a remarkable and renowned ‘hometown’ feeling and character that have always been anchored in the Historic District,” Beaufort Mayor Billy Keyserling said. “For a lot of those years I think many who live here have taken it for granted. It wasn’t until the 1970s that a small group of determined people took a stand to protect Beaufort’s history.\r\n\r\n“Today, their hard work, and the hard work of hundreds of others since then, is paying off. Not only is the Beaufort Historic District a ‘Top 10 Great Neighborhood,’ but it’s also an essential part of what keeps Beaufort living and growing. It’s not a museum, it’s a living neighborhood and functioning community,” he said.\r\n\r\nDefining the Beaufort Historic District neighborhood are not only scenic vistas and outstanding architecture, some of which dates to Colonial times, but also important planning principles. These principals include precedents that defined the district upon its inception in 1711, and contemporary practices such as form-based zoning, the APA noted.', 'News briefs', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'news-briefs-59', '', '', '2013-10-10 08:32:27', '2013-10-10 12:32:27', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=13322', 0, 'post', '', 0),

The victim confronted Gilliland, who fled the scene. Deputies were able to locate Gilliland a short distance away. Gilliland was positively identified and placed under arrest on four counts of Breaking into a Motor Vehicle. He was released from jail on Monday morning, Oct. 7.\r\n\r\nAs multiple reports of vehicle break-ins had been fielded throughout the neighborhoods of Spanish Moss, Southern Magnolia, and Marsh Hawk Plantation, investigators worked to connect the incidents. A search warrant conducted on Gilliland’s 2001 Chevy S-10 yielded evidence placing Gilliland in vehicles in each of these communities. In each of these incidents, Gilliland made entry to unlocked vehicles, stealing various items of opportunity such as cash and small electronics. Investigators were able to secure 13 additional warrants for Gilliland leading to his re-arrest.\r\n\r\nTo date, Gilliland has been charged in 17 vehicle break-ins, however, the investigation into his possible involvement in other recently reported Lady’s Island vehicle break-ins remains active. Additional charges may be sought pending the results of forensic evidence analysis.

This place where we show up every day to learn how to navigate life with its day to day ups and downs and “ooops, human moments” — all without a 15 pound textbook to reference whenever a new life experience shows up that lacks a previous orientation. Instead of a textbook, every experience still gets stored in the “brain book” with its various chapters, resources, vocabulary words and table of contents for easy retrieval for purposes of our growth and survival.  Then, there are our personal report cards which reveal how we’ve done up to now; full of stars, smiley faces, letter grades, some “goods” and “excellents,” along with the frowney faces, red marks, “needs improvements” or “unsatisfactory.”\r\n\r\nAnd, what about all the great teachers — each person in our life who shows up right on schedule to either bushwhack us, gently guide us with great advice or an encouraging word, or allow us to try on different personalities or reactions just for size. Our teachers are children, adults, friends, enemies, relatives, folks through school, church, jobs or the grocery store, and even our pets. Each one in service to our growth and evolution — even the ones who taught in ways we wish they hadn’t.  As a matter of fact, those are often our greatest teachers — the ones who made us dig even deeper to find our courage or strength or to learn how to feel compassion or empathy.  Take a moment to close your eyes and allow your mind to recall as many of those teachers and life experiences as you can, letting them just zip through like a movie, going back as far as you can, and without judgment or labeling.\r\n\r\nNotice how you feel in your body, not what your emotions are, but what your physical body is revealing in this moment.  Is there an area that just got tighter? Did you experience a new or increased area of pain? If so, take another moment to sit up straight, take in a big “chubby belly” breath, then slowly exhale it towards the area of tension or pain, allowing the air to completely empty, and repeat several times. There is no need to figure out which memory activated the tension but if a particular one reveals itself, take another moment to consider what that experience taught you or perhaps seeing your teacher through a new lens as you remember that they were in Earth School too, learning as they grew also without the handbook.  When we can be in non-judgmental observation of those folks, recognizing that they are doing the best they know to do based on their personal experiences and teachers, it can reduce our own angers or hurts exponentially.  Try that idea on for size and see how it feels.\r\n\r\nWe all came into this life exactly the same, yet each with our own curriculum, navigating our way through the bumper car experience, figuring out what works and what doesn’t, who has our back and who needs to use us for their own power, or how to love and be loved, all the while seeking the path on our intended life journey with grace and ease. Moving forward, hopefully we can take the wisdom gained so far and find ways to apply it for good, both for self and others, filling up the blank boxes and lines in our life report card with higher marks and more “job well dones” than when we were just starting out. The good news is that we have never failed or will fail any aspect of Earth School as long as we learn the lesson of the experience. And, if we are still learning, then we are still growing.

What I write comes from my passion and my purpose on this planet, and as I continue to aspire to inspire millions of people on this planet, why not start in the city I have called home for 15 years, Beaufort, South Carolina. Which leads me to this week’s article simply titled “I got the power.”\r\n\r\nAre you living the life you really want to live? Do you know exactly what the kind of life you would want to live is? Do you realize that you have the power to create your own life?\r\n\r\nMore likely than not, your answer to the first question is “no” and to the second question your answer is “yes.” I would challenge you, however, and say that it is more probable that you are not living the life you want and that, in fact, you have only a vague idea what kind of life you really want.\r\n\r\nIn 97 percent of cases, I would be right because it has been shown time and again that only 3 percent of any given population will excel in any given circumstances. Part of the reason for this is that only a handful of people actually take the time to plan and create their ideal life.\r\n\r\nIt often strikes me as strange how many of us are so organized and diligent when it comes to studying at school or performing well at work, yet we are so terrible at excelling at the most important thing of all — our lives!\r\n\r\nLet me give you an example. Most of us know the value of planning at our work places. In fact, we are probably very good at it and maybe even take the lead in planning at work. We make plans as to what we want to achieve during a certain period; we analyze our strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats; we make strategic plans and implementation plans and budgets and a lot of other things. It’s tedious work at times, but we do it anyway because we know that without these plans our companies or organizations would fail to achieve good results.\r\n\r\nThen we knock off and go home and, unfortunately, leave our brains at work. Somehow, what we do at work doesn’t seem to apply any more. We just lay back and hope for a better life to magically appear. No plans. No time frames. No budgets. No targets. No written goals.\r\n\r\nIt is no wonder so many people are brilliant at their careers and yet miserable failures when it comes to their personal lives. We do not apply our knowledge and expertise to our own lives.\r\n\r\nYou must plan your life with much more care and attention than you would plan your business and your work. Stop living by waiting on chance and luck to make you happy, rich or healthy. If most of us put just half the effort we put into our jobs into planning our lives we would be amazed at the difference that would make.\r\n\r\nYou can take that first step of creating the life you want right now. How? You must create it in your mind. Mohandas K. Ghandi said very truthfully that “a man is but a product of his thoughts; what he thinks, that he becomes.”\r\n\r\nImagine for a moment that you have lost your memory. You have forgotten who you are and everything you have or don’t have. You know nothing about yourself. You now have a great opportunity to recreate yourself!\r\n\r\nMoney is no object. You have all the resources you need at your disposal. There are no restrictions. You can make your new life whatever you want it to be.\r\n\r\nWho are you? What do you do? Where do you live? What car do you drive? What clothes do you wear? Who are your friends? How do you spend your time? What is your purpose in life? In whose life are you making a difference?\r\n\r\nCreate a detailed picture in your mind of what you want to be. Let your imagination go wild. Don’t hold back anything. Don’t regard anything as impossible. Just fill your mind with all the possibilities. Don’t be vague about it, be specific.\r\n\r\nIf you did this simple exercise, you should be feeling very excited right now. As lunatic as it may sound, the truth is you are free to create the life you want at any time you choose. The power to create has been yours all along. Here is one little secret though: write it down.\r\n\r\nWriting this mental picture of who you want to be is important because writing things down gives power and permanence to your thoughts. You can refer to what you’ve written and modify it until you have perfected the vision.\r\n\r\nWriting it down will also help you when it comes to remembering the vision for your life. As you read it every day it will become imprinted on your mind until you will be able to think and say it without referring to the written version.\r\n\r\nThen and only then will it become a part of you. This vision will completely take over your mind. Once that happens, you’ll find ways to achieve what you’ve thought and your environment will be forced to align itself with this new found vision.\r\n\r\nOne thing is for sure: The past is dead and gone. We can’t go back there. The future is the only thing we have control over. Right here and right now is the only time we have that control.\r\n\r\nDon’t put it off until tomorrow. Start right now to create the life you want in your mind and don’t forget to write it down. Think about it every day and every waking hour until it becomes a part of you.\r\n\r\nWhy should you bother? Because, as Earl Nightingale put it, “every day we put in place actions and ideas that will determine the shape and substance of our lives.”\r\n\r\nSomeone sent me this quote the other day: “We build our lives, a day at a time, often putting less than our best into the building. Then with a shock we realize we have to live in the house we have built.” How true. How sad.\r\n\r\nBuild your life with the care and effort it deserves. Don’t live your life with no direction and no hope. You can create that perfect life. You can dream big, and your dreams can come true.\r\n\r\nYou are all you can be. Go on and be it!\r\n\r\n<i>Join other awesome and phenomenal women from the Beaufort and surrounding areas this Tuesday, October 15, at the Holiday Inn &amp; Suites from 5:30 to 9 p.m. at Beaufort’s First Classy &amp; Sassy Tasty Tuesday Women Night Out with a Purpose.

Her humble demeanor, positive attitude and friendly banter would make even the most socially inept individual comfortable to be in her presence.  Her bubbly, expressive tones are reminiscent of two\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_13335\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"200\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Profile-Candice1.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-13335\" alt=\"American Idol winner Candice Glover.\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Profile-Candice1-200x300.jpg\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" /></a> American Idol winner Candice Glover.[/caption]\r\n\r\ngirlfriends’ chitter chatter on any given day, and her laughter is just as welcoming as the soothing, sultry sound of her voice — a voice that was destined to be heard, even and long after she was indirectly told that it should be silenced.\r\n\r\n“During Season 9 of Idol, Simon basically told me that I wasn’t going to be anything,” Candice said.\r\n\r\nThat being three seasons ago and in the not-so distant past, Candice speaks positively of what the potentially negative experience did for her: “I took that into the next year as something that would help me, and I kept it with me as motivation all the way through Season 12.”\r\n\r\nHer offered words of encouragement not only speak mounds to the masses but helped her in her personal journey as she shares with others the ambition to “take negativity as motivation and let it help you instead of hurt you.”\r\n\r\nGrowing up as “a bit of a tomboy,” Candice played kickball and football with the boys. She describes herself as a fun-loving person, and credits her parents for teaching her this real, down-to-earth, relatable side.\r\n\r\nNow a role model to many young girls and women worldwide, Candice states that “it’s an honor that people would ever say that they want to be like me ... I feel that they are connecting with the fun-loving side as well as the humble person my parents have raised me to be.”\r\n\r\nCandice speaks of her three year journey in which she transformed from “literally just a girl who could sing” into a woman who “came into her own.”\r\n\r\n“It didn’t happen overnight, but it happened.”\r\n\r\nIn sharing the less glamorous and judgmental views of the public, online throughout the world and while on television, Candice said that staying true to herself was what she determined and set out to do. Quickly embracing those who embraced her, Candice reveals that she was never under the scrutiny of the producers, judges or those on the show, and was never told to lose weight or look a certain way. Against public pressure and formulated opinions, Candice said, “I stayed true to who I was and didn’t try to fit in.”\r\n\r\nWith a clear message, Candice learned from her earlier mistakes of attempting to appease others by “trying to look like a star. I went over the top and it wasn’t genuine.”\r\n\r\nShe said, “There is no certain way that you have to look to be in the public eye. No matter who you are or what you do, that should touch people’s hearts.”\r\n\r\nFebruary 18, 2014, is the scheduled release date of her much-anticipated album, Music Speaks. Candice speaks passionately about its first released single, “I Am Beautiful,” an inspirational and self-motivating song that lets us know that who we are, individually, is more than enough. Written by songwriter Jaden Michaels, Candice said she is “proud of the song” as she worked with Michaels on Idol during weekly visits to give her personal input, influence and experience about what she wanted her music to do. “All girls go through not feeling good or pretty enough ... every girl at a young age can relate to liking a boy and feeling rejection,” Candice shares of her own personal experiences.\r\n\r\nNow being older and wiser, Candice realizes “people are going to form their opinions” about everything from “how I wore my hair and how I dressed.” She said people feel that their opinion is fact. “The simple fact is that I knew I had a gift to share with the world, I realized I wasn’t perfect, but I was like this is me, take it or leave it!” Overcoming initial discouragement, Candice held strong to “being true to who I am, instead of someone else.”\r\n\r\nWhen asked to leave a final empowering thought on the hearts and minds of not only women worldwide, but specifically and especially to friends, sisters, mothers, daughters, aunts and women of her hometown of St. Helena Island, Candice said, “We shouldn’t be so hard on ourselves regarding beauty and realize that beauty is not what we think it is. I was told that my skin is too dark, my nose is weird, I’m not small enough ... you have to feel beautiful before anyone else thinks you are. Love yourself before anyone else can. Love yourself and be comfortable in who you are. It took me a long time to realize this, but I know it now. Realize that the talents you have and who you are, no one can take that away.”\r\n\r\n<i>Takiya La’Shaune Smith, licensed cosmetologist, mentor and owner of Beautique Lash &amp; Brow, is an author and beauty columnist promoting inner and outer beauty, self-esteem, preservation and awareness.

(13344, 4, '2013-10-16 21:10:02', '2013-10-17 01:10:02', '<b>By Celia Strong</b>\r\n\r\nReally, call me anything you want, but don’t call me late for dinner. (Isn’t that the whole expression?) Truthfully, it’s OK to not even call me for dinner, except when you are planning on having one of my favorite wines. And, considering how late in the year it’s getting to be, all my favorite wines are going to start getting opened way more often. At least with my dinners. And lunches. On days off!  And Sunday afternoons. As the weather turns cooler and the holidays get closer, my head really starts to plan my glass (glasses?) of choice with great regularity. And self-imposed urgency. So, call me anything, anytime, but I guess it’s time to start paying attention to this week’s wine.\r\n\r\nThere is a lot of new stuff to learn this week, starting with where our wine comes from: New Zealand. And, yes, we have discussed New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs multiple times, but this week we look to another variety — Riesling. First, though, let’s review the source.\r\n\r\nNew Zealand is a southern hemisphere wine country, so we get wines that for their vintage year are six months older than wines from the same vintage in a northern hemisphere country. (A tidbit I always enjoy.) Wine in New Zealand dates back to as early as 1836, when James Busby first started trying to grow vinifera grapes there. The oldest existing vineyard there, established by the French Roman Catholic Church, dates from 1851. The modern history of the New Zealand wine industry, meaning the second half of the 20th Century and since then, was the result of several things — legislation that allowed domestic wines to sell and be served locally, young New Zealanders traveling abroad and coming home with a “wine with dinner” lifestyle, and financial interest in the wine business.\r\n\r\nIn the 1990’s a  well-known British wine critic, Oz Clark, wrote that New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs were “arguably the best in the world.” One winery in particular led the pack: Cloudy Bay. And, as they say, the rest is history. Except, that New Zealand does make more than just Sauvignon Blancs. Other whites, reds and sparkling wines.  So, yes, we must broaden our horizons.\r\n\r\nWhich puts us onto our grape for this week. I know we don’t do Riesling very often, partly because of preconceived notions about it, partly because of the really high prices on many of the good ones and partly because of the huge range of styles and qualities of them all. Riesling, a white grape, originated in the Rhine region of Germany. It is an aromatic variety known for its flowery, perfumy aromas and high acidity. (Strange, high acidity, when so many of us think of Riesling wines as sweeter.) Riesling wines can range from very dry, to semi-sweet, to sweet and dessert wines and even sparkling wines.\r\n\r\nIn addition to its floral perfume aromas, Riesling has aromas and flavors that include green apples, grapefruit, peach, honey, rose blossoms, green grass and pine trees. It is grown in almost all wine producing countries, with a range of styles coming from each of them. Traditionally, Riesling grows better in cooler areas. And, with its natural high acidity, some of these wines can age for decades. The sweeter dessert wines can age because their underlying acidity holds them together for great lengths of time. (In Germany, there are records of some Riesling wines still drinking well at over 100 years old. Yikes!) Of course, these wines tend to cost more. Surprise!\r\n\r\nIn New Zealand, Rieslings are grown mostly in the Martinborough area, at the very southern tip of the northern island. (Marlborough, where most of the Sauvignon Blancs are grown, is at the northern tip of the southern island.)\r\n\r\nOne last detail about our wine for this week. We have to learn about “late harvest.”  This is a term that appears on wine labels that means the grapes for that wine were picked later than the majority of grapes for that vintage. By staying on their vines longer, these grapes become riper and riper, develop more sugar and sweeter flavors and, therefore, can make sweeter wines.  Also with late harvested grapes, another process can take place. As they hang on their vines, a fungus, called Botrytis cinerea (noble rot), forms on the bunches due to humidity and warmth. This looks sort of like a mold and encases the grapes and the sugary, syrupy pulp inside them. More sugar, less juice — a combination that results in dessert style wines when the grapes are crushed and fermented. In some wine regions and countries, their wine laws determine which wines can be called late harvest. In others, the term on a label usually signifies a dessert wine. Because there is less juice coming from each grape, less wine is available. So, as you would expect, the price goes up. In addition, because most of us don’t want a lot of these wines, half size bottles, 375 milliliters, are more common.\r\n\r\nAnd, now, let’s bring this all together. Cloudy Bay, the great winery that brought New Zealand into the wine industry in the 20th Century, makes a Late Harvest Riesling. Cloudy Bay Vineyards was established in 1985, in the Marlborough area of the country. Besides vineyards that they own, Cloudy Bay also has contracts with quality growers. Between both sources, they get the grapes for our Riesling — a lovely dessert style wine that we have in time for all our special holiday dinners and parties. It is a pale gold color, with honey, nougat, orange blossom and ripe peach aromas. Its flavors add in more with apricots and a piney honeycomb. The grapes for this wine are hand-picked, the best way to control how much botrytis is on each single one. Picked in May of 2008. Southern Hemisphere. The few grapes that were not botrytised maintained the acidity level in the wine. They were all pressed for a long time, overnight, to extract their richness and full flavors. Batches were fermented, in stainless steel tanks, for two months, achieving a perfect balance between sugars and acidity.  Aging in French oak barrels for about eight months followed. Bottling was February 2009.\r\n\r\nNow, the only issue we have is how to use this delicious wine. Sweeter wines like this, as a general rule, work well with spicy foods, salty foods, very rich foods, and desserts. My thinking is we will be better able to use this one with a salty cheese like a Roquefort or Parmesan, before or after a meal, with some rich foie gras, or with dessert. Pumpkin pie comes to mind. It’s that time of year. But also fruit pies and tarts will all taste better with a really cold, small glass of this. Or a plate of salty cheese and ripe fresh fruits. Or, and this is my new favorite, pumpkin bread pudding. A simple loaf of pumpkin bread made into a bread pudding with some cinnamon and caramel. Really, I tried the wine and the pudding last weekend, and I don’t even like bread pudding — until now. And, I’m sure the wine made that happen.\r\n\r\nSo, call me anything you want, but try the Cloudy Bay Late Harvest Riesling. And call it delicious! For $24.99.

(13346, 4, '2013-10-16 21:10:45', '2013-10-17 01:10:45', '<b>By Tracie Korol</b>\r\n\r\nAs our elected officials continue to bicker and whine about the continued funding of the federal government, Washington temporarily mothballed its “non-essential” programs and services. In a shutdown, “non-essential” federal workers are furloughed, while some “essential” operations continue. How does this government shutdown affects our animals? Short answer: by suspending critical animal welfare functions. Here’s a longer answer and some of the effects that we can expect for our Best Friends:\r\n\r\nUnder the Animal Welfare Act, USDA is charged with ensuring that minimum standards of care and treatment are provided by regulated agencies (approximately 12,000 sites currently), including research facilities, commercial dog breeders and dealers, and exhibitors of exotic animals. Without federal government funding, USDA will not be able to inspect these facilities to ensure humane care or provide enforcement against violators, meaning puppy mills, research labs and roadside zoos. It is entirely possible that all could cut corners and operate recklessly while no one is watching.\r\n\r\nEarlier in this drama, the agency’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service indicated that “facility inspections and complaint investigations related to the Animal Welfare Act” would not continue during a funding lapse. Additionally, USDA’s website is dark due to the shutdown, which means the public no longer has access to the animal care database to review AWA inspection reports and violations.\r\n\r\nFrom The Food and Drug Administration: “FDA will be unable to support the majority of its food safety, nutrition, and cosmetics activities,” reads a Health and Human Services memo detailing a contingency plan for the government funding stoppage. This means a delay on important rules to ensure the safety of pet food, in the wake of a number of recalls. “FDA will also have to cease safety activities such as routine establishment inspections, some compliance and enforcement activities, monitoring of imports, notification programs, and the majority of the laboratory research necessary to inform public health decision-making.”  Keep in mind that primary ingredients for pet foods begin with what’s left over from that for human consumption.\r\n\r\nTo put the implications in context, consider that the FDA typically inspects about 19,000 domestic food facilities every year — or 50 per day. Not only are FDA inspectors no longer out in the field, but laboratory research is also to be put on hold, and the agency will not be publishing any guidance documents. The last point isn’t as innocuous as it sounds; the FDA has issued more 500 warning letters to food and drug providers so far this year. The letters make up a frightening list of violations including drug-tainted veal and infected cattle material used in pet food as well as recall alerts.\r\n\r\nA bigger problem is whether the FDA can adequately respond to an emergency, for instance, a massive Salmonella outbreak in kibble. “Those inspections help to prevent problems with food safety, fix them before contaminated foods get into the market. These agencies are working at very minimal capacity. They say they will retain some capacity for emergencies, but if you don’t have CDC in place and you’re operating on a skeleton crew anyway, I don’t have confidence that they have the capacity to recognize and emergency and respond to it,” says Caroline Smith DeWaal, the food safety director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a nonprofit consumer advocacy group in Washington.\r\n\r\nAnother huge area of concern is food imports which are normally monitored by FDA officials. No imports are being inspected for safety right now. That means all those mysterious Chinese kibble-filler ingredients and chemical treats that historically have wreaked havoc in the US pet community.\r\n\r\nOn a good day, the agency is critically under-funded. The FDA lost $209 million as part of the $85 billion in automatic budget cuts that took place March 1 of this year, forcing 2,100 fewer inspections from 2012. The shutdown, DeWaal says, just exacerbates the problem.\r\n\r\nIf you are a kibble-only household, be aware that in a few months there may well be a rash of recalls due to the various contaminants that are currently being overlooked. Also be aware that the USDA and FDA that list current kibble recalls daily have dark websites. What to do? This might be the time to re-consider what your Best Friend is eating. Source locally and wash/cook it well is a good place to start.\r\n<div></div>', 'Your dog and his government: The shutdown', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'your-dog-and-his-government-the-shutdown', '', '', '2013-10-16 21:10:45', '2013-10-17 01:10:45', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=13346', 0, 'post', '', 0),

The toddler had picked up a candy bar and hadn’t put it back quite quickly enough when ordered to do so. Maybe he’d learn his lesson from being dropped into a shopping cart. This mom had an older son who looked to be about 8. He had picked a candy bar as well and wasn’t putting his back any faster than his little brother. Her response was a punitive yank on his clothes that sent him reeling away from her, startled, but off in the right direction for putting the candy bar back on the shelf. The older child had Down’s syndrome.\r\n\r\nI stood there in disbelief, angry. I didn’t know what in the world to say that might make a difference to this obviously stressed family. I wasn’t alone in this viewing of family drama. It seemed that everyone nearby felt the same cross purposes of adrenalin and social immobility.\r\n\r\nThen, with quiet deliberation, an older woman got out of line behind me with her cart and joined the line where the woman and children were. The older woman smiled and spoke to the family. She was obviously complimenting the young mom on her children. She reached out as she did so, touching each of the boys lightly.\r\n\r\nAfter a few moments, even from an inaudible distance, it was obvious that everyone felt “liked,” and “likable” again, even the mom. Then the older woman got out of line and walked away.\r\n\r\nIt was like watching an angel at work, or someone prompted by oxytocin.\r\n\r\nKelly McGonogal, a professor in both business and medicine at Stanford University, unveils new research that connects stress to empathy. Many people are familiar with the fact that oxytocin is released when you are hugged or hug someone else. Kelly reveals that oxytocin is also a part of the “stress response” your body generates. Under ideal circumstances, oxytocin enhances your ability to be empathetic to others and yourself. Oxytocin, in part, is designed to prompt you to seek support, whether in the form of physical contact, or through telling someone how you feel, instead of bottling up your feelings, or taking out your less-than-stellar feelings on those around you.\r\n\r\nOxytocin does more, however, than connect you socially when you are stressed. It’s an anti-inflammatory (inflammation in the body is the root of many serious ailments), and helps heart cells heal and regenerate from the damage of stress. Overall oxytocin promotes an internal hardiness and a faster recovery from the ill effects of stress.\r\n\r\nSo the next time your heart is pounding and your palms are sweaty with the adrenalin rush of stress, instead of allowing yourself the all too familiar responses of fear, anger, or impatience, try following the prompts of the hormones racing through your body and CONNECT. Give oxytocin a chance to work its “angel-like” miracles in your life.\r\n<div></div>', 'Stress: Internal assassin or mainline to empathy?', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'stress-internal-assassin-or-mainline-to-empathy', '', '', '2013-10-16 21:15:05', '2013-10-17 01:15:05', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=13356', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Lace-trimmed smocked dresses couldn’t hide my two left, and all too often dirty, feet, my fire-driven tongue or odd fascination with anything deemed off limits. My early school years were nothing more than an induction into a world less than wonderful.\r\n\r\nLearning early that some things are meant to be experienced, not necessarily enjoyed, was a valuable lesson, just as learning a smile isn’t necessarily sweet.  Obviously, times change, schools evolve and programs improve. However, two things shall forever remain constant in the halls of formidability — cafeterias will always smell of Comet and last week’s lasagna, just as mean girls will always exist.\r\n\r\nIt is possible I could proclaim bullying of sorts, but relying on current buzzwords to depict epic battles of inner strength seems more fitted for daytime television than real life. Having grown up a bit differently than most, elementary and middle school years taught me that not everyone is walked to the bus stop by a 400-pound pig and being the best isn’t always preferred. Oddly enough, the adored adage of treating people as you want to be treated proved to be somewhat of a fallacy. I suppose I learned long division somewhere along the way, but the real lessons never had correctable answers.\r\n\r\nLiving from bell to bell, my days were focused only on survival of sorts. Physical harm was never an issue. Spending my weekends chasing cows and climbing Mississippi pines, I was far better prepared for physical combat than the mental twister of middle school female feudalism. Fortunately, it didn’t devastate me that I wasn’t often invited to their parties, sleepovers or playground gatherings. For me, that meant wearing something ridiculous, sitting in the corner wishing my feet were muddy. What was heartbreaking, however, was the overwhelming sinking feeling of never quite fitting in, being accepted or being able to share my truly fascinating pig stories.\r\n\r\nFemales begin the unspoken, undisclosed rules of engagement very early in life. Apparently, some are born with the ability to mingle amongst meanness while others spend the better part of their lives and much of their energy on understanding, avoiding or analyzing what causes such woman on woman crime. War is hell, or so I have heard, but if it were founded and strategized around the mean girl concept, hell may just be a welcomed alternative.\r\n\r\nMy heart breaks for the young girls of today, not that their challenges are much different, but often they are much more public. Knowing that my daughter will someday be faced with this epidemic makes it all the more real. Unlike many of the sicknesses lurking in schools, this has no immunization. There is no answer in a book, no theory applied will stop the tears shed or the days ruined.  The best anecdote is a sordid sense of humor mixed with a superior sense of self, no matter how peculiar.\r\n\r\nIf your world is invaded by this green, misguided menace, just know that it does get better. Their words will hold less meaning, their sneers less venom and all too soon their persona of perfection will fade, leaving only an emptiness of envy and a wake of years wasted. I have gone on to do things of which most of those girls will only dream. My awkwardness is even found to be an asset to some and my freckles have faded.\r\n\r\nYou will survive the bouts of mean girl battles with an insurmountable inner strength. It is perfectly OK, even preferred, to be different. Being the best is not a weakness and being walked to the bus stop by a 400-pound pig may one day make for a great story.\r\n<div></div>', 'Cafeterias will always smell like Comet and last week’s lasagna', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'cafeterias-will-always-smell-like-comet-and-last-weeks-lasagna', '', '', '2013-10-16 21:15:40', '2013-10-17 01:15:40', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=13358', 0, 'post', '', 0),
(13360, 4, '2013-10-16 21:16:28', '2013-10-17 01:16:28', '<b>By Martha Cooper-Hudson</b>\r\n\r\nThere is a prison that has an inmate population in the billions. It’s a prison without walls, without barbed wire, without guards and without any physical barrier. But it is the most effective prison in the whole world. Few escape it, but those who do find real and lasting freedom.\r\n\r\nThat prison is in our minds. It is a prison that holds back our initiative, our talent, our ability to express ourselves and, most of all, it holds back the fulfillment of our full potential as human beings.\r\n\r\nThat prison is fear. Our lives today are controlled by fear more than we know. Fear controls the choices we make, our actions, our habits and even our destinies. Fear has become one of the greatest threats to humanity in this day in its many forms. Terrorism has become the pinnacle of fear worldwide. Recent events in the world have shown how fear can drive even those that are powerful to behave desperately and inhumanely. But the effect of fear on our personal lives is more damaging than any terrorist can ever hope to achieve. Fear of life prevents most of us from living.\r\n\r\nFear of life? Yes. “Too many people are thinking of security instead of opportunity. They seem to be more afraid of life than death.” This observation was made by James F. Bymes.\r\n\r\nIn its extremes, fear in our personal lives causes anxiety and phobias. For people with such illnesses, the prison of fear can seem like a death sentence. Their lives may be totally controlled by fear, making life totally unenjoyable and everyday tasks a real struggle.\r\n\r\nFortunately, this is not the most common manifestation of fear. The far more destructive form of fear is one that we have come to accept because it is so common. There are those of you out there with brilliant business ideas. What holds you back is fear. You think about all the statistics of how many businesses fail every year, or what your friends and family will think if you quit your job to pursue your dreams. The fear of not being able to pay your bills, fear of getting fired, fear of starting over and the fear of not having a job title all hold you back. It is fear that keeps most of us in jobs we do not enjoy and, sometimes, that don’t even meet our financial needs.\r\n\r\nThe fear of taking risks is one that few people are able to overcome. Risk is the potential harm that may arise from some present process or from some future event. In every area of life risk-taking is a necessary thing. If you propose marriage to someone, you have to take the risk that they may say no. If you are in a race, you have to take the risk that you may lose miserably. If you want to live life to its fullest, you have to take the risk of failure. As Dorothy Thompson said: “Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live.”\r\n\r\nFear will paralyze you if you do not deal with it. It will absolutely stop you from living a life that you desire. Recognize it. Conquer it. Eleanor Roosevelt’s advice is that “you gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do.”\r\n\r\nI’m sure you have had an experience in the past when you really feared something. After doing it, how did you feel? Silly? Stupid? The feeling is often one of “that wasn’t so hard after all. I don’t know what I was afraid of.”\r\n\r\nTrying to fight fear is like trying to fight the dark. You can’t do it. The way to get rid of darkness is to bring in the light. The way to get rid of your fears is to conquer them. “Do the thing you fear to do and keep on doing it ... that is the quickest and surest way ever yet discovered to conquer fear,” said Dale Carnegie.\r\n\r\nGo ahead and start that business you want to start. Go ahead and study what you really want to study. Go ahead and become a musician, poet, artist, fashion designer or whatever else you want to do. Sure you might fail, but you might succeed too. Take the risk today and conquer your fears. Do you want to look back years from now and think I could have, I might have, and I should have? That is a sad way to live your life.\r\n\r\nRemember that no matter how “safe” you play it, one fate awaits us all. That is death. Whether you take a risk or not you will die. So of what benefit is it to you to be under the yoke of fear and live a life that is way below your potential? Use your life wisely. Free your mind from fear and worry and go for it.\r\n\r\nThere is only thing you should fear and that is God. That should not be a fear of terror, but of reverence. “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” Feed your faith and your fears will starve to death.\r\n\r\nYou are all you can be. Go on and be it. I challenge you to “take the leap, and watch how the net opens.”\r\n\r\nJoin other awesome women for a night of fun, great shopping, networking, inspiration, and empowerment at the Tasty Tuesday Women Night out with a purpose on Tuesday, November 12, from 5:30 to 9 p.m. at the Holiday Inn &amp; Suites in Beaufort.\r\n<div></div>', 'FEAR: False Expectations Appearing Real', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'fear-false-expectations-appearing-real', '', '', '2013-10-16 21:16:28', '2013-10-17 01:16:28', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=13360', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Sometimes when a person goes through something, it means they need to be that voice that can help another, even if it is only one person. A lot of people aren’t as strong as you may be and they need to hear your voice and know that they will be okay.”</i>\r\n\r\nThose were the exact words of my daughter’s 15-year-old friend, Rebecca. Becca, as I affectionately call her, had come along for a weekend trip and as we drove along during the early morning hours on I-95 South, she openly discussed her own personal obstacles regarding low self-esteem, coping with peer pressure and dealing with acceptance, not only of self but by others. I listened intently as Becca slowly, but with a steady momentum, entrusted me with some of her heart’s secrets, and I responded carefully and with the same care and compassion that I would with my own daughter.\r\n\r\nThe way I saw it — and the way I will always feel about it — was just that. Becca was no different to me than if she was my own daughter. Regardless of her race, regardless of her background, regardless of her age, regardless of her family’s tax bracket, regardless of her and my daughter’s typical on-again, off-again teenage friendship, regardless of the fact that she wasn’t my biological daughter — the fact of the matter is that she is a daughter. A young lady growing up in a world focused on image, beauty, body and boys. So much so that a positive influence, or lack thereof, could be enough to make or break, derail or set the course of her lifetime.\r\n\r\nLike so many of our girls, typically middle and high school age, yet shockingly spiraling its way to elementary, low self-esteem and a lack of positive self-image has fast become the norm. Statistics, coupled with the media’s exploitation of scantily clad pop stars, foul mouthed rock stars, overzealous movie stars and brawling, pregnant reality stars, is what we have allowed to set the pace, be a standard and make an example for most of our girls. Turning a cheek and turning up our nose to look down on it should not be what guides our judgment; yet opening our arms and offering our hearts should be what we allow to lead us.\r\n\r\nAs Becca candidly opened up to me, I in turn offered my personal experiences of mistakes made and lessons learned. What I soon and quickly came to realize and see was a young lady gaining hope right before me. Her view of self-image began to shift and her attitude towards others’ acceptance of her expanded. She began to realize that she was more than “just a girl” but that she was a girl with a purpose, a young lady with a voice. Like my own daughter, she was comforted, she was consoled and she realized that she was given a choice. A choice to be who she wanted to be.\r\n\r\nIn the next coming weeks, I will spotlight several teen related articles that discuss what our young girls are facing in hopes that we as a community can open our ears to hear their voices and open our hearts to make a change.\r\n\r\nIn addition, I will be launching “For My Girls,” a unique mentorship program based upon etiquette and positive self-image for all young ladies in fifth through twelfth grades. “For My Girls” was instated by my own life, inspired by my own daughter and implemented for my own Becca. Webster’s dictionary states that the definition of “my” means of or relating to “me” or “myself.” When put in perspective, when it comes to me or myself, I want nothing but the best and I will stop at nothing until I obtain the best. Let’s learn to look at the rest as “me” or “myself.”\r\n\r\nIf you are a mother or a daughter of any age, an educator, a mentor or even a father and would like more information regarding “For My Girls” whether it be participation or education, please feel free to contact me and together let’s make an impact. Our girls deserve it and are certainly worth it.\r\n\r\n<i>Takiya La’Shaune Smith, licensed cosmetologist, mentor and owner of Beautique Lash &amp; Brow, is an author and beauty columnist promoting inner and outer beauty, self-esteem, preservation and awareness.  Follow her blog at www.blb-boutiques.com, find her on Facebook at www.facebook.com/TakiyaLSmith, email her at takiya@takiya-lashaune.com or contact her at (843) 263-0426.</i>\r\n<div><i> </i></div>', 'For my girls', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'for-my-girls', '', '', '2013-10-16 21:17:12', '2013-10-17 01:17:12', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=13362', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Small ship sailing allows you to see the world in new ways. The growing travel trends are eco-tourism and adventure, perfectly suited to small ship cruising. Small ships offer more authentic, off-the-beaten path and customized experiences. On board guest speakers and tour-certified expedition leaders immerse you in visiting destinations. Smaller ships generally stay longer in ports, frequently with overnighting, permitting guests to explore the culture, art, history and the local cuisine.\r\n\r\nSmall ship sailing doesn’t sacrifice luxury. Cruise lines such as Azamara, Compagnie Du Ponant, Crystal, Paul Gauguin, Regent, SeaDream or Seabourn, boast elegant, sophisticated surroundings, stellar luxury amenities and first class staterooms.   On exquisite yachts to beautifully appointed sleek ships accommodating from 30 to 750 passengers, staff and crew are among the best in the cruising industry. Your vacation is virtually all-inclusive.  Examples could be airfare, shore excursions, zodiac expeditions, wines and spirits, cooking classes, exquisite dining choices and gratuities. When your small ship journey ends, you don’t have a large onboard expense bill as you might with mega ships.  Some travelers express, in comparison, that sailing all-inclusive is a cost saver over the “pay-as-you-go amenities” on larger ships.\r\n\r\nSmall ship vacations can be a sense of discovery and a sense of place. Small ship cruising is not limited in destinations.

These days, retirement planning is much more complex. The number of corporate pension plans has fallen dramatically over the past two decades — from about 92,000 single-employer defined benefit plans in 1990 to 29,000 in 2009, according to the U.S. Government Accountability Office. With the burden of paying for retirement shifting to individuals, personal savings and investments are becoming the primary source of retirement income. For some, this may mean staying in the job market, but with new hours or a whole new career. A recent survey by the Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI) found that while only 23% of retirees reported working for pay in the previous year, three quarters of workers said they expected to be employed during their retirement. More people want to keep working in some way, and more and more people are going back to work after they retire.\r\n\r\n“In the old days, Grandpa knew how much his pension would pay him for the rest of his life,” says Donna Peterson, Senior Vice President for Retail Retirement at Wells Fargo. “Now the big question is, ‘How much income will your investments generate from month to month during your retirement?’” So what can individuals do to better prepare for today’s retirement landscape? The answer is to plan ahead.\r\n\r\nYou should begin by exploring the answers to questions such as “What’s my ideal retirement scenario?” and “What do I need in terms of financial support? Setting retirement goals is not just about dollars and sense. It’s also about drawing on your values and hopes to create a satisfying life. Beyond security and independence, what will you pursue during the next phase of your life?\r\n\r\nThen, meet with a Financial Advisor to assess your current nest egg and savings rate and estimate how much annual income you’re likely to need during retirement. As you look ahead, be sure to consider that, realistically, you may be retired for a long time, and your finances need to reflect that fact. Consider that those who are currently 65 are projected to live another 18 years, on average. And, if you reach age 85, your life expectancy will extend to age 91.\r\n\r\nWhen working with my clients, I utilize the Wells Fargo Advisors Envision® planning process that allows me to stress-test various retirement scenarios and identify areas of a plan that need adjusting. For instance, you may find that adjusting your investment strategy or boosting your savings rate by a few percentage points a year will get you closer to your long-term financial goals. “The more you save, the better off you’ll be,” Peterson says. “And even a small step-up in savings can make a big difference.”\r\n\r\nFor many years, experts recommended aiming to replace roughly 80% of your annual preretirement income during retirement. The idea was that living expenses typically decreased in retirement. “But that advice assumed that you were going to spend your retirement in a rocking chair on the front porch,” Peterson says. “These days, retirees are likely to be very active.” And that means higher costs to keep up with a more expensive lifestyle. Because each individual’s idea of retirement is different, everybody will have different financial needs.\r\n\r\nIt’s important to look at your planned retirement budget realistically, Peterson says. Work with your Financial Advisor to map out essential costs, such as housing, food and health care expenses, and discretionary expenses, such as travel and entertainment. That exercise can help you set credible long-term savings goals based on your expected income needs during retirement.\r\n\r\nEvaluating your retirement saving goals is essential whether retirement is near or 30 years away. By considering your savings goals, income needs, and investment strategy, you may find that your current plan is likely to leave you short when it comes time to stop working. Your Financial Advisor can help you review and adjust your current retirement savings plan.\r\n\r\n“Develop a plan and stress-test it with your advisor,” Peterson says. “The results can help you understand what’s possible, and also what may need to be adjusted.”\r\n\r\n<i>This article was written by Wells Fargo Advisors and provided courtesy of Katie Cuppia Phifer CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™, Financial Advisor at 843-982-1506.</i>\r\n\r\n<i>Investments in securities and insurance products are: NOT FDIC-INSURED/NOT BANK-GUARANTEED/MAY LOSE VALUE</i>\r\n\r\n<i>Wells Fargo Advisors, LLC, Member SIPC, is a registered broker-dealer and a separate non-bank affiliate of Wells Fargo &amp; Company.</i>\r\n<div><i> </i></div>', 'It’s not your grandfather’s retirement anymore', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'its-not-your-grandfathers-retirement-anymore', '', '', '2013-10-16 21:19:52', '2013-10-17 01:19:52', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=13368', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Tanner and CODA Executive Director Kristin Dubrowski place purple ribbon magnets to raise awareness of the campaign against domestic violence.[/caption]\r\n\r\nTen sheriff’s offices and police departments in Beaufort, Colleton, Hampton and Jasper counties have signed on to place purple ribbon magnets that say “Stop Domestic Violence” on their law enforcement vehicles to demonstrate their commitment to protecting victims and holding offenders accountable. Recognizing the importance of this issue in our community, Palmetto Electric Cooperative generously provided the financial support for this campaign.\r\n\r\n“We take domestic violence very, very seriously and are happy to participate in this awareness effort. We believe the purple ribbon magnets will help educate our citizens about the need to seek help at the first sign of abuse and to contact law enforcement when an incident occurs,” stated Beaufort County Sheriff P.J. Tanner.\r\n\r\n“Domestic violence is a huge issue in our state. South Carolina ranks 1st in the nation for the rate of women murdered by men and there are thousands of domestic violence incidents in the Lowcountry each year. We hope the Purple Ribbon Campaign will raise awareness that it will take all of us working together to stop domestic violence in the Lowcountry,” said Kristin Dubrowski, CODA executive director.\r\n\r\nCODA has been providing an array of services to survivors of intimate partner abuse and their children in Beaufort, Colleton, Hampton and Jasper counties for more than 27 years. In 2012, CODA provided 168 survivors and their children with emergency shelter for a total of 4,861 nights (a 49% increase from 2011). The nonprofit also answered 4,050 calls on the 24-hour hotline and provided outreach services such as counseling, case management, legal assistance and transitional housing to 486 survivors and their children.

Thus ArtiZen,” she explained.\r\n\r\nWhat about the tree logo?  “I’ve always had an affinity for The Tree of Life and what it represents.  A tree remembers its roots and also reaches for the sky.  I want ArtiZen to celebrate life and growth.”\r\n\r\nAsked whether to expect big changes, Vanderpool responded, “At first, no.  We’re trying to make the transition seamless for former Dancing Dogs students. We opened our doors with the same teachers, classes and schedule.  ArtiZen will honor any time or visits left on their passes.”\r\n\r\nArtiZen will hold a formal grand opening event in November.  “Things always take a little longer than you’d hope. Once we’ve finished painting and putting up the new signs, we’ll be ready to celebrate!”\r\n\r\nVanderpool’s message to the Beaufort community?  “I believe in the phrase ‘one truth, many paths.’  My goal is to create an environment that is welcoming, supportive and energizing. No matter where you are in your personal journey, come grow with us!”\r\n\r\n“Remember that we’re not just a yoga studio. We also have a retail boutique and an amazing massage therapist.”\r\n\r\nCall 441-5994 to make an appointment.

He is the president of the Beaufort Symphony Orchestra board.[/caption]\r\n\r\nThe Beaufort Symphony Orchestra made its debut in 1986 with 14 founding members. It has blossomed into a full symphony orchestra consisting of 50 community and professional musicians with broad support in the community from many  generous individuals and businesses.\r\n\r\nSays Ed with a smile about his time as president of the board, “I like to say that I am in the seventh year of my two-year term.”\r\n\r\nIt was his great love of classical music that brought him to this job after retiring to Dataw Island after being the General Agent Manager and owner of The Guardian Life Insurance Co. in Little Neck, N.Y. Ed has always been interested in classical music and played the base fiddle in his Erasmus Hall High School orchestra.\r\n\r\nHe was asked to join the Beaufort Symphony Orchestra board as treasurer nine years ago, and after two years was elected its president.\r\n\r\nEd met the love of his life, Ellen, in New York and they were married in Northport, N.Y., 27 years ago. Ellen was the disability income supervisor in the Little Neck, N.Y., agency for the Guardian Life Insurance Co.\r\n\r\nThey have four children: one in London, one in New York, one in Florida, and one in Oregon. They also have eight grandchildren whom they adore.\r\n\r\nHow did the Likes find Beaufort all the way from New York?\r\n\r\nEd said, “One of our sales agents visited Dataw and gave our names to the real estate people here. After some time we decided to visit and we fell in love with this beautiful community. We were boaters and the marina here was one of the attractions. Ellen and I took up golf and Ellen became very involved with her tennis activities. We built our home 17 years ago and moved in full time at the end of 1998. We were native born New Yorkers and never looked back.”\r\n\r\nAdds Ellen, “This town and surrounding areas are so beautiful and it offers so many interesting activities. The folks are friendly and we never cease to wonder at everyone always waving hello to each other.”\r\n\r\nAs far as their charity involvement, Ellen has worked at CAPA, Special Friends and Meals on Wheels. Ed worked for Second Helpings for several years before becoming president of the orchestra board.\r\n\r\nEd says he has really enjoyed working with the members of the orchestra board and Maestro Devyatkin to bring quality music to the folks in this area.\r\n\r\n“Watching this orchestra grow to become world class has been a wonderful experience for me, as well as our board members, and we hope our audience. It has been a very gratifying experience and I am glad to be a part of it,” he said.\r\n\r\nHave there been any surprises along the way?\r\n\r\nEd says, “I guess I never expected that our orchestra would become so accepted and popular and that we have  many wonderful supporters.”\r\n\r\nAs for the future of the orchestra, Ed says, “I know that change is very desirable and necessary.  We seem to be able to do that with programing.  Events like last year’s ‘Side by Side’ extra concert featuring the 50 members of the youth orchestra on stage with the 50 members of the adult orchestra. I guess as long as my board members want me to stay on, I will be there for them.”\r\n\r\nThe community gives a big thanks to Ed.

His commercial work includes freelance assignment, fine art photography installation and stock photography for national advertising, book and magazine publication. “In the Likeness of Everything” represents Horan’s recent personal work captured while navigating the intracoastal waterways and Carolina coastal region and through all seasons.\r\n\r\nHoran graduated from the Colorado Mountain College in Glenwood Springs with a degree in Commercial Art and Photography. His photography career started at Colorado Fish, Games and Parks Department documenting wildlife behavior.\r\n\r\nIn the early 80’s, Horan expanded his training in New York City where he assisted some of the top photographers in the region.  Then he came south where he established Eric Horan Photography, Inc. on Hilton Head Island.\r\n\r\nAmong the notable books where his images appear include “Carolina Nature, A Photographer’s View of the Natural World of the Carolinas,” “Lowcountry A-Z,” “South Carolina, A Compass American Guidebook” (published by Fodor’s) Clairmont Press &amp; Holt, Rinehart Winston Textbooks, “EXPOSURE” (included among 100 of OUTSIDE magazines finest photographs over 15 years,) and National Geographic Books.\r\n\r\nAmong the magazines where his work has appeared are Business Week, Cruising World, Fortune, McCall’s, The New York Times Sunday Travel, Orion, OUTSIDE, Sail, and on the cover of “Smithsonian.”\r\n\r\nHoran’s nature photography is recognized throughout the Carolinas and Georgia in part by his iconic wildlife portraits, sky, land and water scenes showcased in <i>Lowcountry Calendar</i> published annually from 2001 to 2012 and winning national calendar awards each of the last eight years in print. Since 2004, Horan has extended his photo and natural history training to guiding fellow photographers and nature enthusiasts in his 19’ Carolina Skiff, touring remote destinations along the intracoastal waterways and natural wildlife preserves in the Southeast.\r\n\r\nFor more on Eric Horan, visit www.horanphoto.com.', 'Eric Horan photo exhibition featured at BAA', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'eric-horan-photo-exhibition-featured-at-baa', '', '', '2013-10-16 22:00:20', '2013-10-17 02:00:20', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=13423', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Three of them, “The Boo,” “The Lords of Discipline” and “My Losing Season,” focused on his experience as a cadet at The Citadel in Charleston.\r\n\r\nConroy’s brief tenure as a teacher of underprivileged black children in a one-room schoolhouse on Daufuskie Island formed the basis for The Water is Wide, which was later turned into the film Conrack starring Jon Voight. The book won a humanitarian award from the National Education Association.\r\n\r\nOther Conroy novels were adapted for the screen as well. “The Great Santini,” the precursor to the current memoir, explored conflicts in the author’s childhood, including his ambivalent love for his violent, abusive father. It became the basis for a feature-length motion picture starring Robert Duvall in the title role. “The Prince of Tides,” one of the most beloved novels of modern time, was made into a highly successful feature film directed by and starring Barbra Streisand and actor Nick Nolte. His novel “Beach Music” told the story of a young American who moves to Rome to escape the painful memory of his wife’s suicidal leap from a bridge in South Carolina. South of Broad, his fifth novel and ninth book, was a love letter to the city of Charleston. “The Pat Conroy Cookbook” soon followed, and then “My Reading Life,” a compilation of the books that most influenced him.\r\n\r\nConroy has long been a friend of the University of South Carolina Beaufort. Fifty years after his family first moved to Beaufort, Conroy makes his home today on Fripp Island.\r\n\r\n“Pat’s association with the university goes back decades,” says historian Lawrence S. Rowland, Ph.D., professor emeritus at USCB and the author of “The History of Beaufort County, South Carolina, Volume I 1514-1861.”\r\n\r\nDr. Rowland and Conroy are lifelong friends. The two met in the early 1960s when Conroy moved to Beaufort. “Pat and I sort of grew up together,” he says.\r\n\r\nGeneral admission tickets for the lecture are priced at $100 per person. Sponsorship opportunities and naming opportunities for distinct sections of the center are also available.\r\n\r\nFunds generated by “An Evening with Pat Conroy” will be used to support a wide range of capital improvements at the Center for the Arts: upgrading the lighting system, installing new carpet, replacing 461 seats, painting the interior and putting up new signs.\r\n\r\nFor tickets, contact Bonnie Hargrove, director of the Center for the Arts, at 843-521-4145 or visit www.uscbcenterforthearts.com.', 'Spend ‘An Evening with Pat Conroy’', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'spend-an-evening-with-pat-conroy', '', '', '2013-10-16 22:01:50', '2013-10-17 02:01:50', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=13426', 0, 'post', '', 0),

She said despite all the treatments and doctor’s visits and struggles he has faced since then, “he always had a smile on his face.”\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_13437\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"225\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/image_1.jpeg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-13437\" alt=\"The Abrams Family: Jeff, Becki, Emma and Nick.\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/image_1-225x300.jpeg\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" /></a> The Abrams Family: Jeff, Becki, Emma and Nick.[/caption]\r\n\r\nIt was his courage and positive attitude that caused several members from the Abrams’ church to dedicate their local chapter of the Leukemia &amp; Lymphoma Society’s Team In Training in his honor. Thus, Team Nick was born.\r\n\r\nBecki felt inspired by her son and joined the team to have the opportunity to help find cures and more effective treatments for blood cancers. She admits it was a daunting decision at first. “I’ve never been a runner, but I just decided to do it,” she said.\r\n\r\nIn June, Becki started training for the Rock N Roll Half Marathon in Savannah on November 9. Along with the other members of Team Nick — Jaime Dailey-Vergara, LeeAnn Dodge, Heather Sheehan, Melanie Ott, Jane Abrams and Coaches Derek Clements and Kami Bodnar — Becki has been running all over town, often waking up before 5 a.m. for 5:30 a.m. start times. The training started out slow, and gradually built up to longer runs. In September, Becki wrote on her Team Nick fundraising page, “Today I ran/jogged/walked 10 miles in 2hrs 30min. That is pretty good considering that I would have never thought I would be running a half marathon and now I’m almost there and it feels great. It also makes you feel good knowing that you are helping find a cure for Leukemia.”\r\n\r\nOriginally from Wisconsin, Becki moved to Beaufort in 1987 and graduated from Beaufort High School. She met her husband, Jeff, who was a golf pro at the time, while they were both working on Fripp Island. The two were married in 2000 at the Baptist Church of Beaufort. A horse-drawn carriage took them from the church to the Downtown Marina where they caught a boat that brought them to their reception at the Beaufort Yacht and Sailing Club on Lady’s Island.\r\n\r\nTheir daughter Emma was born in November 2003, and Nick was born December 29, 2006. Both children go to Beaufort Montessori at Beaufort Elementary School.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_13438\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/image.jpeg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-13438\" alt=\"Team Nick, from left: Jane Abrams, Coach Derek Clements, Coach Kami Bodnar, Becki Abrams, Heather Sheehan, LeeAnn Dodge and Jaime Dailey-Vergara.

Not pictured: Melanie Ott.[/caption]\r\n\r\nIn early 2012, Nick’s parents became concerned when their usually active kid was tired and his body wasn’t fighting infections. Under the watchful care of the doctors at Beaufort Pediatrics, the Abrams brought Nick to the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) in Charleston for a series of blood tests.\r\n\r\nBecki said she will never forget the day they received the devastating news, February 17, 2012. From that moment, she was on a crash course trying to learn as much accurate information as possible and understand the meaning of his diagnosis.\r\n\r\n“Nobody knows about it until you’re going through it,” Becki said.\r\n\r\nFortunately, Nick’s type of Leukemia is highly curable if caught in time, and he is currently in remission. But that means he still has to go to treatments at MUSC every eight weeks for three years.\r\n\r\nHis parents said he takes it all in stride, and he looks forward to some type of reward after each appointment, usually in the form of Nerf guns, Legos or sporting goods.\r\n\r\nAnother important aspect of keeping Nick well involves an emphasis on cleanliness. They are big on handwashing and there are bottles of GermX in almost every room of their house, and also in the office of Pike Appraisals, the company that Becki’s family owns and where she works. She would also encourage everyone to get a flu shot.\r\n\r\nMaking sure Nick stays safe from germs means he often wears a mask with Mickey Mouse on it to school. “He never complained about it once,” Jeff said.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_13439\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"246\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Team-Nick.jpeg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-13439\" alt=\"Nick Abrams, 6, is ready to play ball.\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Team-Nick-246x300.jpeg\" width=\"246\" height=\"300\" /></a> Nick Abrams, 6, is ready to play ball.[/caption]\r\n\r\nBecki said one of the hardest parts for Nick has been not being able to play all the sports he likes such as golf, baseball and football. But he still enjoys watching his favorite teams, including the USC Gamecocks, which Jeff, a Clemson alum, jokes is a little disappointing.\r\n\r\nThe family also never misses a Beaufort Eagles home game. Jeff volunteers his time with the high school football team to work as a coach for the kickers.\r\n\r\nWhen it comes to sports, Becki played volleyball and basketball in high school, but she never really ran before. That’s why she was excited to finish her first official 5K earlier this month.\r\n\r\nThe couple has been touched by the outpouring of support since Nick got sick. “You don’t now how many people and friends you have until you are in need,” said Jeff gratefully.\r\n\r\nOn Becki’s fundraising page on the Team In Training web site, it’s clear that many people do care because the donations are more than double her original fundraising goal of $2,300.\r\n\r\nBecki said, “I would like to thank my family and friends for their support, and also Team Nick and our great coaches — Derek Clements and Kami Bodnar.”\r\n\r\nAlthough the future still presents challenges — even after his three years in remission, Nick will have checkups every six months for the next 10 years — the Abrams take it day to day and enjoy the time they have together.\r\n\r\nJeff said, “After everything Nick’s endured, he’s destined for great things.”\r\n\r\nBecki agrees, and with only weeks to go before the big race, she is looking forward to crossing the finish line for Team Nick.', 'Team Nick: After her son’s diagnosis with leukemia, beaufort mom  Becki Abrams joined Team In Training to help raise awareness', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'team-nick-after-her-sons-diagnosis-with-leukemia-beaufort-mom-becki-abrams-joined-team-in-training-to-help-raise-awareness', '', '', '2013-10-17 09:44:04', '2013-10-17 13:44:04', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=13436', 0, 'post', '', 0),

The new facility will replace the outdated one beside Beaufort Middle School and across from Mossy Oaks Elementary on Mossy Oaks Road.\r\n\r\n“This is the right piece of property for the new fire station. It meets our needs now and into the future as we continue to improve our service capabilities,” said Beaufort City Manager Scott Dadson.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nBeaufort City Council on May 28 authorized contract negotiations for the 1120 Ribaut Road site.\r\n\r\nAs part of its due diligence in early summer, the city commissioned a geo-technical study of the site to determine soil conditions, drainage and other concerns. The report confirmed the city’s expectation of having to deal with new regulations for earthquake conditions – but also indicated the need to dig up the existing soil to a depth of five feet, truck it away, and replace it with better soil to bring the property level with Ribaut Road.\r\n\r\nSince May 28, the Savannah architectural firm Hussey Gay Bell &amp; DeYoung has been designing the new fire station. The idea was to have designs ready when the city closed on the property, enabling construction to start sooner.\r\n\r\nThe current fire station on Mossy Oaks Road is outdated and has major maintenance issues. That facility will remain operational until the new fire station is complete. City leaders continue to discuss options for that site.\r\n\r\nAfter reviewing several other properties for the fire station project from July through early September, city leaders decided to stick with the best-suited property at 1120 Ribaut Road. The city bought the property in late September for $320,000 from Andrew Sears and Macie Sears Scherick of Jacksonville, Fla.\r\n\r\nThe entire fire station project, including site acquisition, design, construction and fixtures/furnishings, is financed through $2.2 million remaining in city bond sales.\r\n\r\nThe current schedule calls for site and facility design to be complete by December, groundbreaking in February 2014, soil removal and replacement/site work done in early spring and the new station open for use in the Fall of 2014.\r\n\r\n“We are excited about the new fire station and how it will help us in our mission to provide the best possible fire prevention and fire protection services to the people of Beaufort and Port Royal,” Negron said.\r\n<div></div>', 'Beaufort buys land for new fire station', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'beaufort-buys-land-for-new-fire-station', '', '', '2013-10-24 08:42:00', '2013-10-24 12:42:00', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=13459', 0, 'post', '', 0);

Upon arrival, contact was made with 68-year-old Catherine Harmon who was suffering from a head injury.

He then struck her several times in the head with a baseball bat.\r\n\r\nWorkman’s 16-year-old daughter, who was staying at the home, attempted to intervene, pulling Workman away from her grandmother.

Farr, MD</b>\r\n\r\nLASIK has become an excellent option for people to correct their vision, enhance their quality of life — and reduce or eliminate a lifetime of dependence on glasses and contacts. LASIK has become an extremely popular surgery because it allows people to turn their dreams of clear vision into reality in a matter of minutes.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_13470\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"150\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Health-DrFarr.jpg\"><img class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-13470\" alt=\"Dr. Kenneth Farr\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Health-DrFarr-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" /></a> Dr. Kenneth Farr[/caption]\r\n\r\nIn LASIK surgery, the cornea is reshaped by a special laser, changing the eye’s focusing power and correcting specific vision problems.  The surgery is performed as an office procedure. The actual laser treatment takes only a few minutes.\r\n\r\nNew advances in technology have made LASIK extremely safe with the ability to provide a wide range of vision correction. At Palmetto Eye Specialists, we are pleased to offer the exciting option of “All Laser LASIK” — also known as “Bladeless LASIK.” This innovative new technology uses a femtosecond laser to create a precise treatment- offering greater precision and control.\r\n\r\nHow can you decide if LASIK is right for you?  A large percentage of nearsighted, farsighted and astigmatic patients are potential candidates for LASIK.  Patients should be 18 years of age or older, have healthy eyes that are free from retinal problems, corneal scars and any eye disease.  In addition, the best candidates for LASIK are people with a lifestyle or occupation in which they are dissatisfied with their contact lenses or glasses.\r\n\r\nIf you are considering LASIK Eye Surgery, make sure that you consult with an experienced LASIK surgeon — the skill of your LASIK surgeon is crucial to a successful outcome.

At a petite 4 feet, 8 inches, Maria has a svelte frame, creamy mocha latte skin, gorgeous shoulder-gracing curls, length envy eyelashes, china doll eyes and a “just left the gym” figure. Yet, as we sit down to discuss her personal view of self-image, it seems as if she was left out, didn’t get the memo or has been looking at herself in a dirty, cracked mirror. Maria is cute, pretty, beautiful, gorgeous and yet she has been flawlessly flawed when referring to herself as not being pretty enough in comparison to other young women her age.\r\n\r\nMaria is a 19-year-old single mother of a beautiful baby girl, and though 19 and single may not have been her ideal choice of steps ordered, she knows one thing for sure, and it’s change for a secure future. Coping — not only with being a young mother, but raising a child alone — is enough to take even the most mature of us along for an emotional ride. Throw in having to postpone college, forego the peer social scene and struggle to commit to a boyfriend, who, aside from the fact now shares a child with you, continues on with life as usual. The end result, all too often, is the exact place Maria has found herself, which is smothered in low self-esteem, a poor view of self-image and a heart-aching dose of little to no self-respect.\r\n\r\nWhen complimented on her looks, Maria hesitates with an unsure pause, not quite confident in how to respond. In further discussion, she gives me insight on the complex relationship she has and states that she dislikes the place she is at. “I don’t know if I’m enough for my boyfriend because I’m not as pretty.”\r\n\r\nAs my heart melted to hear such a confession, the sting of the truth and the state of our female youth sunk in even deeper. Hidden within that one sentence, that one confession, was a million and one wounds needing to be healed. Being enough. Being independent. Being confident. Being secure. Being assured. Being strong. Being loved. Being respected. Just being should have been more than enough, but for Maria, like so many girls, it wasn’t.\r\n\r\nFor the next couple of hours I listened to what has become a similarity in words, actions and situations amongst not only young ladies but women. Women feeling that what we have, who we are and what we possess are not enough. No doubt, the definition of beauty goes far beyond and even exceeds this world’s explanation of what we have placed in a box and tied with a pretty little bow. Beauty encompasses more than just a look, requires more than just a style and reaches wide outside the lines. Beauty starts within. It’s the voice of love, hope and uplifting. How can a voice be heard if we are not willing to hear it speak?\r\n\r\n<i>Takiya La’Shaune Smith, licensed cosmetologist, mentor and owner of Beautique Lash &amp; Brow, is an author and beauty columnist promoting inner and outer beauty, self-esteem, preservation and awareness.

Maybe it was getting lost in amazement watching a slinky travel down your stairs, skipping around your yard chasing butterflies or climbing a tree so you could spy on all those below; can you remember a time? If you can, thank yourself.  If not, why?\r\n\r\nWhen I was younger, I remember a quote saying “we don’t cease to play because we grow old, we grow old because we cease to play” and vowed to play as much as possible so I wouldn’t grow old. But, as life happens with responsibilities for education, a career, family, bills, etc., that vow became a distant memory.  I think we all forget, or maybe we just don’t allow ourselves because we are the adults now, carrying on the same patterns and beliefs of our parents, who likely also forgot to play. We often can’t even remember what it feels like to play and laugh like we did when we were little people, until we do. And, when we do remember and make a conscious choice to play again, we experience freedom. The added bonus is that our health receives benefits as well.\r\n\r\nRecently, I had the amazing pleasure to be amongst nine grown adults of various ages, as we covered ourselves in mud, head to toe, giggling and remembering what it felt like to have no responsibilities, being full of imagination and curiosity. As we felt, smelt and smeared the mud, we each went back to our childhoods. As we held the space honoring each “child” present, we felt many barriers wash away as we integrated both the adult and the child deciding, I too, am worthy of fun in my life. We all are worthy of fun and joy in our lives, contrary to long held beliefs and patterns from the big people in our lives and the big people in their lives. In a “the sky is falling” culture steeped in fear and judgment, true authentic play doesn’t come with ease ... until it does. It is all about choice.\r\n\r\nSo, where does one begin? Go back to when you were a child. What did you love to do with your friends or alone?  What sort of things did you create before someone told you “you aren’t good enough to become an artist or musician” or “oh, grow up, you are a big kid” or whatever favorite disempowering statement your “big people” expressed. As a reminder, there is no judgment on our “big people’.” They were doing the best they could. As you think back on those days, find a memory that brings up joy. Feel what joy feels like in your body and make a conscious decision to return there over and over again while seeking opportunities to re-create it in your life now by taking an art class, playing in some mud, taking a laughter yoga class, or simply skipping and dancing around.\r\n\r\nAs we begin to wake up to our own power within, the spiritual aspect of who we “be” is seeking a return to when joy was expressed freely and openly.  At first, it feels awkward and difficult, but as the barriers are dissolved, it becomes easier, more fun and playful. So, give yourself permission to play for no reason other than it just feels good.  Live Well ... Have Fun!\r\n\r\n<i>For more information or comments, please visit www.theravista.net, call 843-812-1328 or email theravista@gmail.com. </i>', 'Play for your health', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'play-for-your-health', '', '', '2013-10-24 08:56:08', '2013-10-24 12:56:08', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=13480', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Durham</b>\r\n\r\nThe strongest muscles in the body are not necessarily the biggest.  Your jaw muscles make this one of the most powerful joints in the body, and when it is not aligned it can be the source of a variety of pains, discomforts and distractions.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_13483\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"150\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/DrStephenDurham.jpg\"><img class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-13483\" alt=\"Dr. Stephen Durham\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/DrStephenDurham-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" /></a> Dr. Stephen Durham[/caption]\r\n\r\nIn fact, some studies show more than 92% of recurrent headaches can be traced to TMD — temporomandibular disorder — a strain on jaw muscles caused by faulty alignment of the jaw.  People feel a bad bite in a great many ways, and in places they might not know are connected with the jaw.\r\n\r\n<b>A variety of pains caused by “the great pretender”</b>\r\n\r\nIt is estimated that 25% to 30% of people suffer from TMD.  Possibly two or three times that many people have the disorder and don’t know it yet.\r\n\r\nSo TMD is sometimes called “the great pretender.” It shows up as neck aches, sleep disorders, poor posture, numbness in the shoulders and down the arms, dizziness, a ringing in the ears, clicking or grating in the jaw joints, pain behind the eyes — and headaches, even migraines.\r\n\r\nWhen TMD is relieved, people experience more energy, a sunnier disposition and even a better appearance, because the source of their pain is resolved.  In addition, fixing TMD can restore facial height, relax the features and make smiling something that just comes up more often.  When people feel better, they look better.\r\n\r\n<b>Step One: Relax the jaw.</b>\r\n\r\nEach patient is unique, so the first step is to find the optimal jaw alignment for him or her.  Step one is to relax the jaw muscles.  In many cases this can be accomplished in about an hour using the techniques available today.\r\n\r\nThen we capture that best bite position in a custom-made model.  From this model we craft a kind of mouthpiece that fits over your lower teeth and helps your jaw into a healthy position.\r\n\r\nUsing this device according to an individualized plan for each patient, the jaw learns its way back to the unique position that aligns teeth, jaws and muscles the way they are meant to be.\r\n\r\n<b>Life after pain: Improvement all over</b>\r\n\r\nWhen it is no longer unbalanced or over-closed, the jaw plays its vital role in a good head-neck relationship. The body responds right away.  Muscles come unstrained. Nerve feedback from the head and neck to the brain is calmed. That calms other body systems, too, and the overall effect is less tension and better health.\r\n\r\nTMD goes undiagnosed so often, and the effects are so profound, that the benefit of getting to the bottom of it is very great indeed.  A sense of that impact comes from a Nobel Prize winner in brain research who said that 90% of the brain’s output is devoted to relating the body to gravity.  So misalignment, like TMD, can be a big drain on your outlook, your energy and your brain’s capacity for thinking, operating the body and healing.\r\n\r\nFixing that alignment can be one of the most worthwhile steps toward a patient’s own best health.\r\n\r\n<i>Durham Dental is located at Beaufort Town Center.

Diddy</b>\r\n\r\nThe duo composes all its own music, sometimes starting with a classical piece, like Bach’s “Brandenburg” concerto No. 3, or a contemporary piece from a blues, hip hop or rock artist. They turn it all upside down, mixing and melding until the incongruous musical styles have been fused into their signature stylistic “mash up.”  So you might recognize Bach, Beethoven or Tchaikovsky along with Marvin Gaye, P. Diddy or Aerosmith while you’re clapping to the music and dancing in the aisles.\r\n\r\n<b>Harnessing power of music</b>\r\n\r\nAfter forming their group while in college in Florida, Kevin Sylvester and Wilner Baptiste started adding hip hop to their compositions as a way to change things up and keep it fun.  As their popularity grew, they knew they had found a way to inspire young audiences to listen and respond to each other through music, and to encourage them to always follow their dreams, no matter how offbeat. They will be joined by the Beaufort Youth Choir for one or two songs. The choir of fifth to 12th graders will be directed by Jordon Norris.\r\n\r\n<b>Universal appeal</b>\r\n\r\nBlack Violin has performed in 49 states and 36 countries for audiences ranging from the troops in Iraq to Super Bowl attendees to the President’s Inaugural Balls. “We don’t have a demographic. It’s for anybody and everybody,” explains Wil. “We are blessed to be able to perform in any venue in any category.”\r\n\r\n“And you can bet our audience will see and hear something they have never experienced before,” says CFA Director Bonnie Hargrove. “We are expecting a sold out house for this one-and-only performance, and suggest that you make your reservations early.”\r\n\r\nTickets available at www.uscbcenterforthearts.com or call 843-521-4145.

A world-class contemporary art collection built by a postal clerk and a librarian that outgrew its modest home, has now spread throughout America. “Herb &amp; Dorothy 50X50,” a follow-up to the award-winning documentary “Herb &amp; Dorothy,” tells the story of a new chapter in the life of the legendary art collecting couple, Herb and Dorothy Vogel, through their historical gift project, The Dorothy and Herbert Vogel Collection: 50 Works for 50 States. Sixteen years after Herb and Dorothy transferred their entire collection to the National Gallery of Art, the number of works had doubled to over 4,000. The Gallery, one of the largest art institutions in the country and where the Vogel collection was supposed to find its permanent home, found that the abundance of work was more than they can handle. And so the national gift project, which will distribute 50 works to each of the 50 states, was launched as a creative, and unprecedented solution.\r\n\r\nThe story of the 50X50 gift project, one of the largest and the most significant philanthropic projects in American art history, is not just about the values of art collecting.

(13510, 4, '2013-10-24 11:19:06', '2013-10-24 15:19:06', '<b>By Celia Strong</b>\r\n\r\nNumanthia: what a name. At least it’s pronounced just like it’s spelled (New-man-thee-ah). Historically, Numanthia was a town in ancient Spain where the citizens resisted the Romans. For more than 100 years, the Romans tried to occupy this town. And, for that whole time, the citizens resisted, preferring to die than become slaves to the Romans. So, the Romans burned the town.\r\n\r\nBut, before we go into too much history, the wine of the week is a big, strong red from Spain. We will learn about where the wine is produced, a less known region, called Toro — yes, the same as the name for “bull.”\r\n\r\nSpain is the third largest producer of wine, after France and Italy, and the ninth in consumption. There are over 400 grapes grown in Spain, many of them native varieties, but 80 percent of their wines are made from about only 20 varieties. (The main ones are Tempranillo, Albariño, Garnacha, Palomino, Airen, Macabeo, Parellada, Xarel-lo, Cariñena and Monastrell.) There are almost 3 million acres of vines planted in the country, so they do have more vineyards than anyone else.\r\n\r\nOur Toro area is a Spanish DO, Denominación de Origen, located in the Zamora province in the region of Castile-Léon, in northwestern Spain.  The Toro includes areas known as Tierra del Vino, Valle del Guereña and Tierra de Toro. There are almost 20,000 acres of vineyards here.\r\n\r\nDuring the Middle Ages, wines from the Toro were drunk all over the country. Their trading was encouraged with “royal privilege.” The ancient Greeks brought winemaking to Toro at the end of the 1st Century BC. Later, King Alphonso IX granted land to several religious orders with the stipulation that they plant vineyards. Normal policy around the world, at the time. The wine trade in Toro was successful and many of the 40 plus churches there today were built by the wealthy wine trade. At the end of the 19th Century, Toro wines were exported to France in large quantities. You might remember, this was the time when phylloxera invaded most of France’s vineyards.  The vines in Toro were safe because the soil there was so sandy and it protected the vines from the phylloxera bugs. (Locals like to claim that their ancestors resisted the Romans and their vines resisted phylloxera.)\r\n\r\nLater, the Toro vines were used to replant many of the infected vineyards in Spain. In addition to the sand, the vineyard soil in Toro had clay and lime-bearing puddingstone — a dark topsoil with fine and coarse sands. The Toro climate is continental, long hot summers and cold winters, with light rainfall and above average hours of sunlight every year. Tinto de Toro, a synonym for Tempranillo, and Garnacha are the red varieties allowed in the area, and Verdejo and Malvasia are the whites. The area was officially recognized in 1933, and the Toro DO was established in 1987.\r\n\r\nBodega Numanthia is located in a small village, Valdefinjas, in Zamora. It was founded in 1998 by the Eguren family. From their beginning, Marcos and Miquel Eguren aimed to make the best wine from Toro. The estate owns about 100 acres of vines and roughly half of these are planted with 70 to 100 year old vines. The sandy soil, that was resistant to phylloxera, also allowed vines to grow much older. That means “old vine” here is really, really old. Numanthia actually has about 10 acres where the vines are 120 years old. Yikes!\r\n\r\nThe vineyards at the estate are laid out in a patchwork of tiny plots. Most of them face south and southwest. The soils are basically sandy gravel over a clay sub-soil. Dry surface with some water retention underneath. Perfect for making the grapes work as they grow. Perfect for great flavors in the finished wine. The grape variety is Tinto de Toro, with vines that average over 50 years old. Their bunches are large, but each berry (grape) is small. They produce deep color and strong tannins, especially when low yields are maintained. The vines are head-trained and dry farmed, with about 10 yards between each vine. That means about 500 vines per acres, a very low number. And, the vines’ roots?  They grow down over 20 feet, struggling to the water in the clay soil. Between the struggle to grow and the maintained low yields, these vines make grapes with exceptional concentration and complexity and structure. Of course, since they are such good grapes, they are all hand-picked, usually between the middle and the end of September.\r\n\r\nAfter harvest, the grapes are fermented and macerated for three to four weeks in stainless steel tanks. The cap, the crust of grape skins and pulp that rises to the top of the tanks during these processes, is punched down and pumped over several times. This adds more flavor and texture to the wines. After maceration, the wines go into new, French barrels. They rest a year, in the first year cellar, go through malo-lactic fermentation, and move on to the second year cellar. After about a year and a half, the wines are racked (rolled of their sediment) and blended. They are bottled the second year after their harvest. They are not fined or filtered in order to preserve their fruitiness and structure.\r\n\r\nNumanthia produces three different levels of red wines. Termanthia, the treasure of Toro, is the ultimate version. This wine includes much of the grapes from 120-year-old vines. Numanthia, the bodega’s signature wine, is mid-level.\r\n\r\nAnd, our wine, Termes (tare-mess), is the Toro signature wine. Even this wine has some of the grapes from the 120-year-old vines. Fermentation, with de-stemmed grapes, took eight days, with two punch downs each day, at controlled temperatures. Maceration — time sitting with the skins to pick up more color, flavors and textures — lasted 21 days with light pump-overs. Barrel aging lasted 16 months.\r\n\r\nTermes is intense, vibrant and lively. Its color is dark ruby with some purple edges. Its aromas are intense, with raspberry, red currant and cherries, mixed in with violets, lavender, spices and eucalyptus. In your mouth it is full and silky, with an explosion of fruit and a long, persistent finish. Tobacco, raspberries and blackberries linger with you. This wine is 100 percent Tinto de Toro, which means it’s all Tempranillo, but very different from other Tempranillo wines we’ve tasted and talked about. Termes is much fuller, much hardier and heavier. All the little pieces and parts of this DO and this Bodega come together in this bottle — dry growing conditions; lots of sun; not too fertile soil; older, even ancient, vines; fewer vines per acre; controlled yields; hands-on harvest and winemaking; aging. This is sort of a list of how to make a great tasting wine that is perfect for meats, seafood, and poultry.\r\n\r\nAnd, as you would expect, all this is not available without a price that reflects all its pieces and parts. Numanthia Termes is usually about $25, but for us, it’s $19.99.

Students, as well as parents and grandparents, explored many activities such as racing ducks (using water from a pump and rubber duckies), riding trikes on the “Hay”tona Speedway, grinding corn, roping a steer and milking a pretend cow. These activities provided hands-on learning in Science, Social Studies and Agriculture in addition to focusing on physical education and large motor skills. Families learned about farm animals at the Barnyard Zoo and took a hayride on a covered wagon to The Great Pumpkin Patch where each child chose the “perfect” pumpkin. After a relaxing lunch at a picnic table or under a shady tree, students explored more of the activities and burned the last of their energy on the playground and in the bounce house.  The bus ride back to school was a little quieter than the ride to the farm and parents reported lots of naps at home that afternoon. But the learning did not stop at the farm! The activities from this trip will extend into the classrooms as teachers use pumpkins for lessons in the five senses, writing, math, and even student council\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_13520\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/School-Holy-Trinity-PE-of-Week.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-13520\" alt=\"Several Holy Trinity Classical Christian Grammar and Middle School students displayed an exceptional example for others in Physical Education Class.

(13524, 4, '2013-10-24 11:38:06', '2013-10-24 15:38:06', '<b>By Tracie Korol</b>\r\n\r\nWhen my son was tiny, Halloween was a perplexing time when grown-ups decorated with squash, when Mom fussed around making something in the basement and shortly thereafter fussed around dressing him up in bunchy strange clothes. Then, one night, for no reason, Mom stuffed him into the bunchy clothes and took him to the neighboring houses wherein the inhabitants gave him candy. What a great idea! Why aren’t we doing this every day?\r\n\r\nLater, as he grew older, Halloween became a time of shared conspiracy in creating the perfect costume, competing with friends for the weirdest and coolest, testing a mother’s creativity and facility with foam rubber.  Our neighborhood decorated and dressed for Trick or Treat night with costumed parents accompanying their costumed kids. The Halloween frenzy grew to the point where the neighborhood dogs were hobbling around wearing buns, skirts and wings. Our dog, Dave, who had a look of benign misery most of the time anyway, looked more despondent than usual on Halloween night and all we did was gel his topknot to look punk.\r\n\r\nTo costume a dog is to deny his essential dogness. Deep within your dog’s chromosomes is the inherent sense of wolf behavior. In a wolf community, one animal may “stand over” another, placing his body on or close to another as a communication, a scolding.  To a dog, the experience of being bound into a Yoda suit does not elicit festivity, more, the uncomfortable feeling of being “ranked”.  Notice when you dress up a dog they freeze in place as if they are being dominated. Also notice that is only a matter of moments until Best Friend begins to dislodge the garment by pawing, shaking, dragging or rolling in something foul so as to necessitate removal of the bumble bee hat.\r\n\r\nDogs are extremely good sports. They will do just about anything to please their humans. Some maintain that Binky LOVES dressing up. But think about it. Does Binky really enjoy the sensation of a balloon glued to his nether parts, horns strapped around his head and a bell around his neck that clanks with every vibration? Probably not. Even when the costume is not as extreme — say, wedging a daschund into a bun, or a Maltese into fairy wings — is the perceived joy you see in the dog a result of the costume or the result of the liver treats you use to bribe him to hold still for pictures or the high-pitched “you’re-so-cute-oh-yes-you-are!!” that accompanies the reveal.  A dog works on the What’s In It For Me principle. Loads of snacks and attention? Sure, I’ll feel bunchy and uncomfortable — for about a minute.\r\n\r\nHere’s another way of looking at what your costumed dog may feel. What if, one day, when you arrived at work, your boss announced, “Today is Underwear Day! Strip down to your skivvies!”. Um. How awkward is this? But, then your boss hands you a box of Godiva chocolates, tickets for the big game and your co-workers cheer and tell you you look great in your tighty-whities. Well, okay then. Maybe not so bad. I can do this for a day. Tomorrow is back to normal, right?\r\n\r\nIf you insist on dressing up your pet, make sure the costume isn’t annoying or unsafe.  It must not constrict movement or hearing, or impede his ability to breathe or bark.  Make sure his outfit doesn’t have dangly bits that he could trip over or chew off and swallow.  Make sure he can move freely without clunking into furniture or snagging on branches.  Make sure his outfit doesn’t make noise, tinkle, clank or rustle.  A white stripe down the back of a black dog masquerades him as a skunk, black stripes on an orange dog can masquerade him as a tiger or a little hair gel can turn your Bedlington into a camel.  All low-key efforts that will afford him his safety and his dignity.\r\n\r\nNot unlike my son at age 2, your dog does not understand that Halloween is YOUR holiday, not his. Wearing a sweater in the winter keeps him warm; wearing something that makes him look like a banana or an armadillo is humiliating.\r\n<div></div>', 'How Fido feels about Halloween', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'how-fido-feels-about-halloween-3', '', '', '2013-10-24 11:38:06', '2013-10-24 15:38:06', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=13524', 0, 'post', '', 0),

(13530, 4, '2013-10-31 00:03:14', '2013-10-31 04:03:14', '<b>By Danette Vernon</b>\r\n\r\nMy grandmother’s house had a wrap-around porch with a swing. The view was such that you could easily take in what little company the old dirt road at the bottom of the hill provided. Serene, unless a couple of the giant bumble bees that nested in the railing flew out, then it was pandemonium as we all scattered.\r\n\r\nI recently found a small cousin to the giants of my childhood twitching in my kitchen window sill. I watched history as it died, its one life joining with the many that were lost this year.\r\n\r\nThe plight of the honeybee is of current interest, but in reality we have no idea how widespread the die off is in the larger world of bees. There are 20,000 different varieties of bees worldwide; and 4,000 varieties just in the United States.\r\n\r\nIn the U.S., the decline of the honeybee began some 50 years ago, with a more serious trend starting about seven years ago. In 1945, for example, there were on average 4.5 million hives. Today the number stands at 2.4 million. This consistency is due to the nature of bees, in that you can subdivide an active hive and add a newly purchased queen, when you have a die off. In the last two years, beekeepers have withstood the financial loss of 30% of their hives per year, but the possibility of a third year looms as deadly to the industry, and the bees themselves.\r\n\r\nDennis vanEngelsdorp, acting state apiarist (beekeeper) for Pennsylvania Department of Agricultural, made the comparison that if “one in every three cows” died in the United States there would be a total societal uproar. Here we are, however, with a creature that “directly or indirectly helps produce one in every three bites we eat,” notes Dennis, yet the din of the “uproar” over this phenomenon is dim and distant.\r\n\r\nIn fact, last spring it was announced that the EPA had approved an increase of 15-25 times previous allowable levels of the Glyphosate residue (pesticide residue) in some vegetables such as carrots and sweet potatoes, according to “The Washington Post Communities,” July 5, 2013).\r\n\r\nThis decision was made final in May of this year, despite recent research, that is elucidated by Marla Spivak, University of Minnesota professor of entomology, that implicates pesticides, in particular neonicontinoids (such as Glyphosate), as an element in the die off of the honeybees. Neoniconinoids are neurotoxins.\r\n\r\nIt was after World War II that we began replacing the farming tradition of sowing cover crops such as clover and alfalfa, which are planted to enrich the fields by fixing nitrogen in the soil, with synthetic nitrogen. (Cover crops are planted in between the sowing of the “cash crop” such as corn or soy beans). In addition, we began to kill off weeds with herbicides. There was a surplus of post-war chemicals and we found a way to use them. In making these two agricultural changes, bees lost two critical food sources — vast acreages of quick blooming clover and alfalfa and flowering “weeds.” Later, with the rise of large scale single crop farms (monocultures) bees again suffered. There is a surplus when monocultures are in flower, but when great swaths of corn or soybeans or canola grow past their need for pollination, they became immense flowerless landscapes.\r\n\r\nFinally, bees are under attack by an over-sized parasite called varroa destructor, a parasite that compromises their immune system and circulates viruses. Imagine a tick as large as your average lunch plate attaching itself to your body and you’ll get the idea of why this parasite is called varroa “destructor.”\r\n\r\nIt would appear that we have arrived at a point wherein destruction by our own hand (and a bit of bad luck) seems entirely possible when it comes to our food supply. What can we do, besides wringing our collective hands at the latest die off? The simple answer is to plant flowers, but it will take grander gestures than that to save us.  It will take the public becoming genuinely alarmed, and we’re not. Not yet.\r\n<div></div>', 'Bees and bad news: Part I', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'bees-and-bad-news-part-i', '', '', '2013-10-31 00:03:14', '2013-10-31 04:03:14', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=13530', 0, 'post', '', 0),

A neighbor saw the men and asked what they were doing. One of the men drew a pistol and held it to his head. They walked him around to the front door and asked him to get the home’s occupant outside. Moments later, they kicked in the door and a gun battle ensued.\r\n\r\nThe home’s occupant, 27-year-old Ronald Coleman, Jr. was hit four times and died at the scene. During the exchange, one of the suspects was wounded. Investigators discovered bloody footprints leading from the scene to a point on Seabrook Road where they believe the suspects got into a car. They found the murder weapon nearby.\r\n\r\nThe case went cold until 2010 when information about the two suspects was cultivated during a federal drug investigation in Hampton County.\r\n\r\nDNA was collected from Collins, who was incarcerated on unrelated charges in Miami.

This article marks the third and closing in my series dealing with teenage discussion, input and obstacles as faced today by our girls. Though only a small percentage have voiced their concerns and spoken up, it seems rather fitting to say that the community,widespread, has listened and heard. Letters, phone calls, social media and emails have made it evidently clear that we care.\r\n\r\n“For My Girls,” a youth mentorship program focusing on etiquette, self-esteem and awareness, has successfully launched and has been quickly embraced by the community, school districts and surrounding areas, reaching even as far as Hampton County. I, alone, take no credit for reaching out but have chosen to take responsibility and initiate accountability and commend all those who have read, participated and committed to dedicate even a second of their time to ensuring positive input towards the future of all our youth.\r\n\r\nDuring my discussion with a 15-year-old young lady who is very dear and close to me, we talked about what she felt to be one of the biggest issues among her peers: rumors. Having experiencing this myself, as a teen and well into my adulthood, I could relate to how serious such a small word could create such an epidemic in one’s life.\r\n\r\nHere’s what she has to say about rumors and how they affect teens today:\r\n\r\n“First off, not having someone that they can trust to talk to, open up and confide in is one of the biggest things going on. Most times, if they do have someone to discuss a personal issue with, there is really no real sense of trust. Some girls my age want to have friends but don’t know how to be a friend. Knowing when and who to talk to is all about trust. Learning to watch a person’s actions and routine is what can help them make better judgements on who to talk to. For instance, if a person is always talking about someone or telling other people’s secrets, that’s not someone you can trust. A good friend is someone whom you have never heard discuss another friend’s secrets.”\r\n\r\n“A lot of times, rumors are started by the ‘so-called’ friend in which they confided in. Initially, I don’t always see the rumors being started as a means to hurt that person but more for the benefit of the individual who started them. They want to look cool or be a part of the in crowd or be popular so they don’t even think about the trust factor. But for the other person, rumors are very damaging and hurtful. I see a lot of people shut up and shut down because of rumors. It changes a person and can ruin their life. It’s gossip and gossip is bullying.”\r\n\r\n“Rumors are started if you’re not liked, if you are liked, if you’re prettier than the person who doesn’t like you, if you dress good, if you dress bad, what you are wearing and what you’re not wearing. It doesn’t matter, and people will even come to ask you if the rumor is true but will still spread the word whether true or not. Word of mouth, not social media like Facebook, spreads rumors quicker than anything.”\r\n\r\n“At my school the staff and teachers are very involved and do not tolerate any sort of bullying, gossip or rumors. At least three times a day and most times in one period, our principal will come over the PA system and start calling names to report to the office. You can hear the frustration in his voice and you know that some people have gotten into trouble for one thing or another. The teachers will stop a class to address the situation immediately.”\r\n\r\n“For me, I don’t do anything special. I am who I am and I act how I want. I don’t try to attract attention to myself or fit in but I see so many people do that and it could be positive or negative attention. I talk to everyone and I’m careful to choose my words. I know what I can say to whom and when I’m talking to certain people I’m aware of the different characteristics and personalities. I chose what to say and how to be.”\r\n\r\nWhat’s her advice about how to deal with rumors and overcome the negative situations they create?\r\n\r\n“Don’t let people see that it gets to you. Don’t react because that’s what they want and they only do it for their personal joy. The more it affects you, the more they twist it and add to it. It’s a game to them so just don’t play along. People are going to be people but they aren’t the ones who love and care for you. Love yourself and those who love you.”\r\n\r\n<i>Takiya La’Shaune Smith, licensed cosmetologist, mentor and owner of Beautique Lash &amp; Brow, is an author and beauty columnist promoting inner and outer beauty, self-esteem, preservation and awareness.

Hurricanes, elections, family visits and most floods come with some form of notice. Since childhood I have been an odd type of planner, not necessarily the most productive; however, I hear the sirens, see the warning and take notice of particular actions that will lessen shock, pain and any foreseeable discomfort. It isn’t likely that others will gather amass in my abode should zombies attack or doomsday appear, however, I will have batteries and a good flashlight. I am a basics girl.\r\n\r\nAttempting to avoid harping too terribly much on my impending labor, I can’t help but notice some similarities among events needing warning and preparation. According to the good doctors, the standard timetable of gestation and the present size of my once tiny feet, I am under severe baby watch.\r\n\r\nPacing the halls, watching Mother Nature send her foreboding flares and sorting through the inevitable scenarios offers little consolation to facing an event of such magnitude. Cowardly, overly cautious or even armed with common sense were never used to describe me or most of my actions; yet, I am one to avoid bodily harm to the best of my ability. If it is hot, I try not to touch it. If it is sharp, I do my darnedest to keep it away from my eyes. If it bites, sometimes I shoot it. It is this simple philosophy of self-preservation that has led me to retain all limbs and most viable senses.\r\n\r\nThanks to Google and females with freely flowing advice, escaping the reality of delivery or even approaching such an event with optimism is not only unlikely but downright impossible. Ironically, those who have chosen to give birth multiple times are owners of the most horrific tales. Maybe I am a few rockers off the porch, but I find that odd. Either way, this is heading my direction at impressive speed. The hatches are battened, sustenance stored and copious amounts of tiny socks await the arrival of this certain life change.\r\n\r\nOur baby girl is coming. With a 50/50 chance of inheriting her mother’s traits, she will come barreling in with gale force. Emotions are high, expectations abound and anxiety settles in as hormones breech the dam of reason. Let the sirens sound, the winds blow and the forces of nature combine — as much as any new Mom can be, I am ready. I have batteries, my good flashlight and plenty of tiny socks. Wish us luck y’all, Mary Eleanor’s arrival is imminent.\r\n\r\n<i>Editor’s Note: Congratulations to Cherimie and her family on the arrival of their new baby girl!  </i>\r\n<div><i> </i></div>', 'Batteries and a good flashlight and plenty of tiny socks', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'batteries-and-a-good-flashlight-and-plenty-of-tiny-socks', '', '', '2013-10-31 00:20:26', '2013-10-31 04:20:26', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=13549', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Fortunately for us and music lovers around the world, his music has.  On Sunday, November 3 at 5 p.m., the USCB Festival Chamber Music series will welcome three of the world’s finest cellists as guests to play three different Bach compositions: Air from Orchestral Suite #3 in D Major, Aria from the Goldberg Variations and six of Bach’s eighteen Chorale Preludes perfected by the great composer towards the end of his life. Mozart’s lively and complex “Overture to the Marriage of Figaro” will provide a highlight from the Classical Period.  The final piece of the program will be the Finale of Haydn’s Cello Concerto in C Major, a work that was written around 1761, lost for a number of years, and rediscovered in 1961.  Since then, this piece, particularly its spirited finale, has become a staple of the cello repertoire and a favorite with audiences around the world.\r\n\r\nThis opening concert will be the festival’s first ever cello quartet. Coming from concert stages around the world, Julie Albers, Zvi Plesser and David Requiro will join Ed Arron, the festival’s artistic director and resident cellist, to perform works arranged for two, three, and four cellos by Bach, Mozart, Haydn, Arvo Part and others. It should be a fascinating program and a delightful introduction to the 2013-2014 season.\r\n\r\nAmerican cellist Julie Albers was awarded the grand prize at the XIII International Competition for Young Musicians in Douai, France, and toured France as soloist with Orchestre Symphonique de Douai. Making her major orchestral debut with the Cleveland Orchestra in 1998, she has since performed in recital and with orchestras throughout North America, Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand. In 2001, she won Second Prize in Munich’s Internationalen Musikwettbewerbes der ARD and was also awarded the Wilhelm-Weichsler-Musikpreis der Stadt Osnabruch. In 2003, Miss Albers was named the first Gold Medal Laureate of South Korea’s Gyeongnam International Music Competition, winning the $25,000 Grand Prize.\r\n\r\nIsraeli cellist Zvi Plesser has performed with the major orchestras in Europe, Asia, the United States and Israel under conductors Zubin Mehta, Sir Neville Marriner Asher Fisch, David Stern, and others. Recently he has performed in such venues as Paris’ Champs-Elysees and Musee du Louvre, Vienna’s Konzerthouse, Berlin’s Philharmonie, and London’s Wigmore Hall. In 2010 he was invited on a 14-concert tour of Australia with the Jerusalem String Quartet.\r\n\r\nFirst Prize Winner of the 2008 Naumburg International Violoncello Competition, David Requiro has emerged as one of today’s most promising young cellists. After winning First Prize in both the Washington International and Irving M. Klein International String Competitions, he also captured a top prize at the Gaspar Cassadó International Violoncello Competition in Hachioji, Japan.\r\n\r\nMr. Requiro has made concerto appearances with the Tokyo Philharmonic, National Symphony Orchestra, Seattle Symphony, and with several California orchestras.\r\n\r\nSunday, Nov. 3 will be an evening to remember at the USCB Center for the Arts.

Since 2007, 3,600 dogs and 10 cats in the U.S. have fallen ill after eating jerky. Of these pets, 580 died.\r\n\r\nIt’s not an official recall because the FDA remains clueless, after six years, as to the source of the contaminant save that they’re pretty sure it’s of Chinese origin. So now, the FDA is asking pet owners and veterinarians for help in finding the elusive cause. A fact sheet is available for vets to know the exact lab tests needed in order to help as well as how consumers can help report illnesses or deaths.\r\n\r\nAccording to FDA sources, once the offending jerky is consumed it causes illness within hours. The treats have caused symptoms like decreased appetite, decreased activity, vomiting, diarrhea (sometimes with blood or mucus), increased water consumption, and/or increased urination. The fatal cases have come from kidney failure, gastrointestinal bleeding, and a rare kidney disorder.\r\n\r\nWhile a formal recall has not been issued, the FDA said it removed some jerky treats from store shelves in New York in January after a lab found “evidence of up to six drugs in certain jerky pet treats made in China.” Almost a year ago, some companies voluntarily issued recalls for their products, including:\r\n\r\n<b>• Nestle Purina PetCare Co.:</b>\r\n\r\nWaggin’ Train\r\n\r\nCanyon Creek Ranch brand dog treats\r\n\r\n<b>• Del Monte Corp.:</b>\r\n\r\nMilo’s Kitchen Chicken Jerky\r\n\r\nChicken Grillers home-style dog treats\r\n\r\n<b>• Publix Stores:</b>\r\n\r\nChicken Tenders Dog Chew Treats\r\n\r\n<b>• IMS Pet Industries Inc.:</b>\r\n\r\nCadet Brand Chicken Jerky Treats sold in the U.S.\r\n\r\nI’ve never been a fan of processed treats for my pets because they’re crazy expensive plus they’re not made of anything resembling food.  What pet owners need to realize is that our Best Friends don’t need treats to begin with. WE think WE need treats because we like to snack, they’re fun, forbidden foods and as Americans, it’s our right to eat incessantly throughout the day. Our dogs, however, do not. Sure, they’re happy to eat anything we give them, not because we’re we are providing them life-sustaining nutrients, but because they see it makes us happy.  And that’s what they live for — to make us happy.\r\n\r\nHere’s an exercise: gather up all the gaily-colored packets of dog goodies you have in house.  Put them in a pile and then add up how much money you spent in total.  Compare the number of “baco things” per packet to the amount you paid.  This might involve some rudimentary algebra.  Chances are each rubbery wad costs about 70 cents each.  Then, flip the bags over and read what they’re made of.\r\n\r\nYou might see something like: <i>sodium nitrite and BHA, ground wheat, corn gluten meal, yellow corn, water, sugar, glycerin, soybean meal, hydrogenated starch hydrolysis, phosphoric acid, sorbic acid, and artificial smoke flavors. </i>Plus a few mysterious ingredients that could, quite possibly, originated in China. Then, look down to the very bottom of all the type on the back of the packet. Chances are you’ll see the words “Distributed by...” That doesn’t mean made by. Nowhere on that packet are you going to see made by.  If you don’t know who’s making it, or where it came from, why give it to your dog?   Consider, too, that each of these “treats” has calories, not that you’ll see that on the packet, either. Is your Best Friend a bit chubby? Guess why.\r\n\r\nOnce you’re done with that exploration, gather up all the packets and throw them away. Then, cook your dog a sweet potato. Cut it in strips, sprinkle it w/a bit of garlic powder, let the strips dehydrate in a slow oven until you have ... jerky.  Clean, chemical free, good for your pet and made with love for the pet that loves you.\r\n<div></div>', 'The ongoing recall of pet food', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'the-ongoing-recall-of-pet-food', '', '', '2013-10-31 00:23:02', '2013-10-31 04:23:02', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=13553', 0, 'post', '', 0),
(13555, 4, '2013-10-31 00:23:51', '2013-10-31 04:23:51', '<b>By Celia Strong</b>\r\n\r\nThe Margaret River - Cape Mentelle area of Australia is known for tourism, surfing, caves, and, yes, good wine. Which is the whole point of learning about it. So, a lot of interesting tidbits to cover, all of which come together to make our wine for this week what it is.\r\n\r\nFirst, let’s look at Australia — the country where Margaret River and Cape Mentelle are located. The Australian wine industry is the fourth largest in the world. About 40 percent of their total production is consumed in Australia. There are more than 60 designated wine regions, with about 350,000 acres of vineyards. The best known regions are South Australia, New South Wales, Victoria, Western Australia, Tasmania and Queensland. Their main grape varieties are Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot, Semillon, Pinot Noir, Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc. Wines labeled as a grape variety must include a minimum 85 percent of the named grape.  The first grapevines were brought to Australia in 1788, but the plantings failed. The 1820’s saw the first wines produced in Australia. The beginnings of the industry were hindered by a climate and soils that were very different than those the European growers were used to. They learned and adapted, though, and now they are a huge industry.\r\n\r\nThe Margaret River wine area is located in the South West of Western Australia, 172 miles south of Perth. The cost here is well known to world surfers. Before wine became so popular, and a driving force in tourism in the area, hardwood timber and agriculture were the mainstays of the local economy. Locally, the area is known as “Margs.” The town’s name, also Margaret River, is thought to come from Margaret Whicher, a cousin of John Garrett Bussell who founded Bussellton (another town) in 1831.\r\n\r\nThe Margaret River is located six miles inland from the Indian Ocean. Boy, it’s not often we hear about that one in terms of wine regions and climates. Anyhow, the climate here is a humid, Mediterranean one. Annual rainfall is about 44 inches, mostly between May and August. During the growing season, humidity levels, soil content and vineyard practices all come together to make this area’s wines exceed expectations and make them one of the premium wine producing areas in Australia. (We have to remember, harvest in the Southern Hemisphere comes before this rainier season.) The Margaret River wine region is mostly boutique style wineries.\r\n\r\nCape Mentelle is a limestone bulkhead on the Indian Ocean coast of southwestern Western Australia. It is located just north of the mouth of the Margaret River, about 12 miles north of the town of Margaret River. The cape was named on February 4, 1803, by French geographer, historian and cartographer Edme Mentelle. The cape was first charted in 1801, by a French expedition. And the cape gave its name to our winery for this week — Cape Mentelle.\r\n\r\nAustralian wine industry pioneer David Hohnen, and his brothers, established the winery in 1970. They started with just 35 acres of vines, now called the Wallcliffe Vineyard.  They experimented with various grape varieties, including Shiraz, Cabernet, Zinfandel, Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. In the beginning, they were known for their Cabernet wines. In 1983, they won a prestigious award for their 1-year-old dry red wine. Another award, in 1984, cemented their reputation. Their Cabernet was considered as one of Australia’s best wines. Of course, these awards meant that Cape Mentelle concentrated on red wines. In the beginning, at least.\r\n\r\nIn 1985, though, the winery saw a turn toward white wines. That was the year that David Hohnen founded a sister winery in New Zealand called Cloudy Bay. World recognition for Cloudy Bay, and their Sauvignon Blanc wine, helped Cape Mentelle Winery gain recognition also. And, Cape Mentelle went on to develop a special white wine, a Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon blend.\r\n\r\nBacking up for a moment, though, the 1970s and 1980s at Cape Mentelle Winery were years of experimenting. Improvements in quality and consistency, the understanding of what each grape could do in its particular soil and climate, and the development of a winery style — all of these were what the winery worked on. A partnership with Veuve Clicquot, the Champagne house, brought them financial means to move forward. That meant modern equipment, a new cellar and global markets. Pretty much, a ticket to success, with the right basics, of course.\r\n\r\nToday, Cape Mentelle is still part of the Moët-Hennessey portfolio and is still a sister to Cloudy Bay. And still making their special white wine — <b>Cape Mentelle Sauvignon Blanc Semillon</b>, our wine for this week. As we’ve learned lately, Sauvignon Blanc is a white variety that comes from the Loire River Valley and Bordeaux regions of France. It found a niche in the soil and climate of New Zealand that let it become a popular wine around the world. In Australia, this variety found a home in the Margaret River region. As compared to its New Zealand sisters, Sauvignon Blanc wines from Australia tend to be more ripe in fruit flavors, including white peaches and lime notes. And with a bit higher acidity, which is saying a lot.\r\n\r\nSemillon is a much less well-known variety. This grape has a gold colored skin, not green or pinkish green. It is a vigorous variety, which means it grows a large number of bunches per vine and grapes per acre. Its wines tend to be more heavy than Sauvignon Blanc’s, with lower acidity and an oily texture.\r\n\r\nBecause of its vigor in the vineyards, Semillon has been grown in almost every wine region in the world. It was once the most planted grape in the world. By the 1920s, Semillon covered over 90 percent of the vineyards in South Africa. In the 1950’s, it was planted in over 75 percent of Chile’s vineyards. In France, in Bordeaux, it is one of three approved varieties for their white wines, including the great Sauternes. In Sauternes, the high number of grapes per acre, and its ability to stay on the vines and develop botrytis, make it into some of the best and most expensive dessert wines ever.\r\n\r\nFor a long time, in Australia, Semillon was a very popular and widely planted grape. Sometimes, though, in the beginning, it was labelled Riesling. Oops.\r\n\r\nCape Mentelle found that in their Margaret River region, Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon blended together can become a special wine. So, we get the 2011, 51 percent Sauvignon Blanc and 49 percent Semillon. This wine is fermented in stainless steel to augment its fruit flavors. It is a bright quartz color with greenish tints, with intense fruit flavors and complexity. The flavors include citrus, grapefruit in particular, stone fruits, like peaches, nectarines and kumquats, and tropical fruits like star fruit, mango, passion fruit, guava and more. The natural acidity in this wine is readily apparent, but not too aggressive. During aging, only about 15 percent is barrel aged — just enough to add vanilla and toast hints, if you’re paying attention.\r\n\r\nWhile great with seafood, this wine is also perfect with a turkey dinner. We did say we needed to find new wines for holiday dinners. So this Cape Mentelle Sauvignon Blanc Semillon is new, different, delicious. And only $13.99. Nice to meet the sister.

A reception on the plaza will follow the worship service, where the Scottish tartans will be displayed and local bagpiper Bob Stinson will play.\r\n\r\nThe Kirkin’ ceremony celebrates the Scottish roots of the Presbyterian Church, and was begun in America in 1941 by Dr. Peter Marshall, a native Scot, Chaplain of the Senate, and minister at the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church in Washington, DC. His sermon, entitled “the Kirkin’ of the Tartan” encouraged unity of the people of the United States in the face of threats of war in Europe as well as funds for British war relief. Thereafter, the St. Andrews Society then began holding annual “kirking” at Washington Cathedral and the custom spread across the United States. The service at First Presbyterian Church will include traditional Scottish prayers and hymns, kilts and tartan, music, and other aspects of Scottish culture. The service is a churching (kirking), or blessing, of the church family in the church. First Presbyterian Church Beaufort was founded in 1912 and is a member of the Presbyterian Church, U.S.A. It is located at the corner of North and Church streets. http://www.firstpresbeaufort.org.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<b>Safety event offers free inspection of car seats</b>\r\n\r\nCar seat inspection event will be held Saturday, Nov. 2, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Beaufort Town Center.

However, the advent of the E911 system and growth of the county led to the eventual separation of Emergency Management and Communications into a separate entity, under the control of Beaufort County.\r\n\r\nDiscussions began earlier this year between Sheriff PJ Tanner and County Administrator Gary Kubic to once again consolidate these services as well as the Traffic Management Center with the Sheriff’s Office. These services have always remained closely aligned with the Sheriff’s Office, through hurricane preparedness measures and the assignment of deputies to fulfill traffic safety grant requirements.\r\n\r\nSixteen other sheriff’s offices in the state currently operate with a similar structure that includes emergency operations into a single chain of command. In accordance with SC state law, the sheriff is the chief law enforcement officer responsible for the safe evacuation of the county, naturally leading to a consolidated approach to resource management.\r\n\r\nAs the strengths and weaknesses of the separation of entities were examined, it became readily apparent to both County and Sheriff’s Office administrators that the best use of resources was in returning to a combined management structure.\r\n\r\nThe consolidation of services will allow for maximum efficiency as the Sheriff’s Office works to extend the standards of CALEA accreditation to Emergency Management. This will also allow for a more seamless integration of the new state-of-the art computer-aided dispatch system throughout the county’s emergency services, which in turn will facilitate a regional approach to information sharing.\r\n\r\nThe new Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office Emergency Management Division will be overseen by Division Commander Lieutenant Colonel Neil Baxley.

At 17, he joined the U.S. Merchant Marines and served on an oil tanker visiting exotic ports in South America, the Suez Canal and all the way to the Persian Gulf.\r\n\r\nBut for Walls it wasn’t enough. He expected more out of life and was looking for something different. So, in 1954 he enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps and was  later assigned to the aircraft carrier USS Ticonderoga, deploying to the Mediterranean Sea.\r\n\r\nIn 1966, he was a platoon sergeant in South Vietnam with Charlie Company, 1st Battalion, 9th Marines and fought on the legendary Hill 55. Casualties were so high in the 1st Battalion, 9th Marines, it was pulled out of Vietnam, and Walls returned to Parris Island where he served his second tour as a drill instructor.\r\n\r\nIn 1982, Walls served as Depot Sgt. Major at Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island. Walls retired in 1983. He and his wife of 54 years, Lillian, settled down in the quiet Shell Point neighborhood where he is still referred to as the Sgt.
