(12093, 4, '2013-07-17 20:00:02', '2013-07-18 00:00:02', 'By Celia Strong\r\n\r\nSometimes it’s good to go back to basics. Sometimes, old friends are the best. Sometimes old is new. Sometimes you have to re-visit something you’ve forgotten.  Sometimes a lot of things. And today, we are at “sometimes.”  And, as we will see, sometimes are good times.\r\n\r\nWe travel to Sonoma, California this week. Sonoma is a city, in Sonoma Valley, in Sonoma County. And a source for wines. It can get a bit confusing when you say “Sonoma,” especially when a specific “Sonoma” can make a difference. Despite the reputations of wines from Napa Valley, and many other parts of this state, Sonoma is also considered to be central to California’s wine industry.\r\n\r\nThe city of Sonoma began as a mission of the Franciscan order in 1823. It is still based around the original town square. This mission, the Mission of San Francisco Solano, founded by Father José Altimira of the Franciscan Order in Mexico, was the furthest north of all the 21 California missions. It was also the last to be established and the only one to be founded after Mexico’s independence from Spain. Soon after it was established, the Mexican government started secularizing all the missions and Sonoma came under the supervision of General Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo. (And, yes, some of us have been drinking for long enough to remember the “M G Vallejo” brand!) Vallejo built barracks next to the mission for his soldiers and struggled to control the native tribes in the area. He also had to keep an eye on the Russian settlers who played a part in Sonoma’s early history and development. The General himself owned over 7 million acres which made him one of the largest landowners, one of Sonoma’s most illustrious residents and instrumental in Sonoma becoming the political center of early northern California. General Vallejo encouraged all Americans to come to Sonoma, as long as they did not get too powerful. In 1836, Vallejo was named “Comandante General” of the California territory. But, his partiality toward family and other Mexican citizens finally landed him in jail, in 1846, after the Bear Flag Revolt, by American immigrants, when Sonoma was declared the capital of the new Republic of California. Still, though, Vallejo was instrumental in the new town’s development because of his huge landholdings.\r\n\r\nAs far as wine goes, and let’s face it, that’s what we really care about, Sonoma is considered to be the birthplace of winemaking in California. The original Mission San Francisco Solano had vineyards that were maintained throughout the history of the area. The father of California viticulture, “Count” Agoston Haraszthy, who founded Buena Vista Winery in 1857, was responsible for many improvements in the young industry. Of importance to Sonoma, he is credited with introducing Zinfandel grapes (Primitivo grapes from Italy) into the vineyards here. The state’s oldest wine festival, the Valley of the Moon Vintage Festival, still takes place late in September every year. Please note, that “sonoma” is the Native American name that means “valley of the moon.”  And, yes, we have looked at wines in the past from both Buena Vista Winery and Valley of the Moon Winery. Sometimes, old is new; sometimes looking back again is good; sometimes everything we do (or in our case everything we drink) is sort of connected. Sometimes all is good. For sure.\r\n\r\nMoving on to more wine info, “Sonoma Valley” is the AVA for wines the we call just “Sonoma.”  The AVA is mostly in the southern part of the county, between the Mayacamus Mountains on the east and the Sonoma Mountains on the west.  The first vineyards here were planted in 1823, by the Mission. By 1920, there were 256 wineries in Sonoma. Prohibition was as hard on these wineries as any where else in the country, and many of them were not able to continue operating. And, after the repeal of Prohibition, in 1933, recovery was very slow. By 1969, there were only 58 wineries in Sonoma Valley. Then, in the 1970’s and 1980’s, the wine industry finally started to expand here. Official boundaries for the  Sonoma Valley AVA were established in 1981, and it became the eighth designated AVA. By 2005, Sonoma was back up to over 250 wineries, and the industry now brings over $8 billion (yep, billion) dollars into the local economy every year.\r\n\r\nIt was during the big surge in winemaking during the 1980’s that three friends, who matter greatly to us, worked together. Tim Murphy, Dale Goode (pronounced just “good”) and Dave Ready founded Murphy-Goode Winery in 1985. They were all wine lovers and, while playing a game of Liar’s Dice cards, decided to make it all official. Their first wines were sourced just from the Murphy Ranch and the Murphy-Goode Vineyard in Sonoma. Their first wines were a Fumé Blanc and a Chardonnay. Quickly, though, they developed more sources and more wines and developed a great reputation for red Bordeaux varietal wines and Zinfandels. They gave the name “Liar’s Dice” to one of their Zin wines. Their wines became part of the California wine boom that spread across the United States, particularly their Merlot, during the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st. David Ready, Jr. Became the winemaker for Murphy-Goode wines in 2001. He grew up in Minnesota, but wanted to be a rock star so California was the place to be. He was appointed assistant winemaker in 1997. Recently, Murphy-Goode Winery was acquired by Jackson Family Wines (of Kendall Jackson fame), and they plan to continue their growth and standing in the Sonoma County wine business. More money is always good.\r\n\r\nAll of which gets us to our wine for this week — Murphy-Goode Merlot. Like we’ve talked about in previous discussions, Merlot is a cousin to Cabernet, not as heavy a wine, the grape itself often used for blending. At the same time that the Murphy-Goode Winery was starting its business, Merlot wines were being discovered by drinkers in this country as good alternatives to the sometimes too heavy and too harsh California Cabernet Sauvignon wines. Good timing by the three friends. Their use of Bordeaux red varieties at affordable prices was a great decision. The fact that their wines, Merlot in particular, were true to their variety’s flavors and textures made them perfect choices for many wine drinkers.\r\n\r\nSince the 1990’s, Murphy-Goode Merlot has been velvety with soft tannins, and full of plum, cherry, blueberry, boysenberry, smoke, coffee, chocolate flavors. It is medium-bodied, full enough to go well with many foods (more in a second) and to satisfy many drinkers. Revisiting it sometime, soon, is a good idea. Once a good Merlot, always...\r\n\r\nThe current vintage of Murphy-Goode Merlot, 2010, was sourced from vineyards throughout California, many still in Sonoma. The warm weather for this vintage let the Merlot grapes ripen fully for dark fruit character (black cherry, blackberry), while cool nights helped maintain the acidity in the grapes. Barrel aging added notes of thyme and nutmeg on top of the lush fruit flavors.  Those who work at the winery now recommend burgers, lamb burgers especially, grilled poultry or seafood, appetizers in general, and lots more with this wine.\r\n\r\nAnd, what about “Goode and Ready?”  The winery slogan?  (Check out the side of your cork when you open your bottle.) Sometimes, not only do you have to be good and ready, you actually can drink good and ready. Oops, that should be Goode and Ready. And good it is and ready we are. For $12.99. Look out. Sometime is now!  Hope you’re ready  for it. Enjoy.\r\n<div></div>', 'Sometimes you just have to be good and ready', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'sometimes-you-just-have-to-be-good-and-ready', '', '', '2013-07-17 20:00:02', '2013-07-18 00:00:02', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=12093', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Instead of spaghetti sauce, the thick noodles are covered with homemade barbecue sauce and topped with pulled pork. It was certainly a hearty portion, and it was paired with a side of Lowcountry potato salad and a bowl of succotash. Served warm, the succotash was fresh and sweet, and Elizabeth and I deemed it a must-have.\r\n\r\nSmokin’ Planks is located at 914 Paris Ave., Port Royal, SC, and is open from 11 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday, and 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

No further justification should be needed since Verdi had written his own buffa masterpiece, “Falstaff,” five years earlier.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_12105\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Arts-Il-Barbiere-di-Siviglia.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-12105\" alt=\"Tenor John Relyea stars as Figaro, the “Barber of Seville.”\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Arts-Il-Barbiere-di-Siviglia-300x200.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" /></a> Tenor John Relyea stars as Figaro, the “Barber of Seville.”[/caption]\r\n\r\nAfter accepting the commission from Rome’s Teatro Argentina in 1816, Rossini composed and staged it in less than one month. Of course, it helped that he “borrowed” eight of the 15 set pieces in the opera from some of his earlier works, including the brilliant overture which he had used twice before.\r\n\r\n<b>Cast:</b> Count Almaviva, aka “Lindoro” (tenor); Dr. Bartolo (bass); Rosina (mezzo-soprano); Don Basilio (bass); Figaro (baritone). Setting: 18th century Seville.\r\n\r\n<b>Act I:</b> Count Almaviva is in love with Rosina, the ward of Dr. Bartolo, and comes to serenade her. He pretends to be a poor student (Lindoro) so that she will not be influenced by his rank. Figaro arrives, formerly Almaviva’s servant and now a barber in Seville. The two overhear Bartolo planning to marry Rosina. Figaro suggests that the Count dress himself as a soldier having the right to be quartered in Bartolo’s home, thus gaining access to Rosina.\r\n\r\nRosina has fallen in love with “Lindoro” and uses all of her skill to outwit Bartolo. While the doctor plots with Don Basilio, Rosina’s music teacher, she secures the help of Figaro. When Almaviva arrives in disguise, he discovers that Bartolo is no longer obligated to house the military. The ensuing confusion attracts the police, and the disguised Almaviva avoids arrest only by secretly revealing his identity to an officer.\r\n\r\n<b>Act II:</b> The Count again tries to visit Rosina, this time dressed as a music teacher, claiming that Don Basilio is ill and that he has been sent as his replacement. He begins a music lesson with Rosina, but Basilio himself arrives. This crisis is resolved but Basilio soon recognizes “Lindoro” and chases him out. During a storm, Almaviva and Figaro climb through a window to free Rosina. Bartolo nearly foils their escape, but through Figaro’s quick thinking, Almaviva and Rosina are united and all are reconciled in time to join in a happy finale.\r\n\r\n<b>Highlights:</b> Overture: Never a dull note for six minutes. It’s a style Rossini created and made his very own, notably a steady mounting of excitement known as a crescendo. It’s been said that listening to Rossini is often like watching a puppy dog chase its tail.\r\n\r\nFigaro makes a great first impression, entering the stage with his popular cavatina, <b>“Largo al factotum”</b> — (Make way for the handyman...), in which he sings the praises — of himself. Figaro here, Figaro there, Figaro everywhere!\r\n\r\nThe next scene is a remarkable start-to-finish stretch of Rossini’s distinctive talents. And it lasts about 50 minutes! — beginning with Rosina’s <b>“Una voce poco fa”</b> (I heard a little voice…) — telling of her love for Lindoro. It’s a challenging and beautifully written aria, tempting sopranos to do some embellishments near the end.  Once while sitting in the audience and listening to some flighty improvisations, Rossini turned to a friend and said: “That’s a pretty tune. I wonder who wrote it.”\r\n\r\nBasilio’s buffa aria, <b>“La calunnia” </b>(Calumny, like a sigh...) is a showpiece for comic characters, in which he plots a “whispering campaign” against Almaviva. It starts softly, but soon the pace becomes a run of quickly spoken words (pattering). This was a “first” for Italian opera and caused an immediate sensation. A very nice duet with Figaro and Rosina follows, leading to another fine aria, <b>“A un dottore”</b> for Dr. Bartolo. Like “calunnia,” it’s a gem of wit and patter.  The act’s finale, <b>“Fredda ed immobile” </b>(Awestruck and immovable) is an elaborate and ingenious sextet. Opera historian Charles Osborne defined it as “Rossini at his magnificent best, in which the characters find themselves led by way of a crescendo to a riotous climax.”\r\n\r\nThe highlight of the shorter final act is a quick and catchy trio for Figaro and the elopers, <b>“Ah! Qual colpo inaspettato” </b>(What unexpected bliss...). The delicate phrasing of “zitti, zitti, piano, piano” was an instant hit on the streets of Rome. And very often, Italian audiences demand — and get — an encore for this phenomenal piece.\r\n\r\nMozart and Vincenzo Bellini, composers of several of the greatest Italian operas of all time, both died at the age of 37. Rossini, on the other hand, lived to be 77, and yet wrote his last opera, “William Tell,” also at the age of 37. One can only imagine what gifts these composers could have given to the opera world had they lived as long as Verdi who wrote “Falstaff” when he was 80.\r\n\r\n<b>Performers:</b> Joyce di Donato (Rosina); Juan Diego Flores (Almaviva); Peter Mattei (Figaro); John del Carlo (Dr. Bartolo); and John Relyea (Basilio).\r\n\r\nAll tickets are $15; no reserved seating.

(12117, 4, '2013-07-17 20:13:17', '2013-07-18 00:13:17', '<b>By Will McCullough</b>\r\n\r\nYep, you heard me, “Uncle John is coming!”\r\n\r\nMaybe for some who have transplanted to the Lowcountry, a visit by “Uncle So-and-So”, “Aunt Who’s-it” or maybe even “Grandma Gettin’-Your-Room-Again” may not be a big deal. Heck, it may even be a hassle. Not so at the SC McCullough household. Truth be told, we don’t get to see a lot of family visitors around our place. It’s not their fault though, my Mom and Dad both died way too early, several decades ago, and both my brothers, John and Mike, now have lives of their own.\r\n\r\nHopping in the car for a 30 hour round trip is just not something that easily fits into their schedule, especially when there are now also grown kiddos randomly scattered up and down the coast. However, a few weeks ago, I received some really exciting news. I understand that, due to my poor title choice, the surprising aspect of this news may now be lost, but (pause for effect) my big brother John recently called and said he was coming to visit. I had not seen John in nearly two years and to know that he and his wife, Leeann, had a rare opportunity to make the trip down to see us made me very happy.\r\n\r\nHere’s the deal: John is a college professor at a respected university near where I grew up in Pennsylvania. He’s also got three awesome sons, all in their twenties and late teens. In short, he’s a busy guy and genuinely so. It therefore should go without saying that an upcoming moment like this would be very much worth its weight in gold to the Beaufort Chapter of Clan McCullough.\r\n\r\nWhile I personally grew up in a Norman Rockwell world of extended family get-togethers and cook-outs every weekend, I have always deeply lamented the fact that my kiddos have not been able to enjoy the same type of family connection/life experience that my childhood contained.  So, in a nutshell, “Uncle John is coming” was pretty darn exciting news around our place.\r\n\r\nIf you’ve been embarrassingly bored enough to read a few of my previous columns, you may already know that before becoming involved in the local real estate market, I was a U.S. Marine Corps Drill Instructor. And, you may further know, if there’s one thing that a DI can do (besides make your life a living hell if need be), it’s “plan and schedule.” So, for many years, I’ve fantasized about what would make the “Perfect Family Visit to Beaufort” for members of my extended clan. Think of it as Chevy Chase in “Christmas Vacation” meets “The Big Chill” with just a dash of Jillian Michaels from “The Biggest Loser.” John’s past visits had been mostly conversation and catching up. But this time, I knew that I wanted John to finally be able to personally experience as many of my favorite aspects of “Beaufort Living” as possible in two short days. Guess what? He did!\r\n\r\nOn Saturday, we browsed the aisles of LuLu Burgess, Fordham Market, Bay Street Jewelers, had lunch at Plums and then strolled along the Waterfront Park. Sunday morning, we put in our boat at the landing beside Lady’s Island Marina, guided our sunscreen-soaked relations up the river, showed them dolphins and ospreys, went tubing, introduced them to the sandbar and topped it all off with dinner at the new Dockside location on Lady’s Island. In short, we had a blast.\r\n\r\nThen they went home.\r\n\r\nWe all wept a bit when they left. All right, maybe more than a bit. Much like Hemingway’s “Old Man of the Sea,” it can really stink to feel alone, even if simultaneously being embraced by nature’s glory. However, there’s an old saying amongst veterans, “Freedom has a flavor the protected will never know.” In a way, a similar concept applies to those looking to move to the Lowcountry. I think that sometimes it may be easiest for one to fully appreciate the Beaufort area if they’ve spent a portion of their lives living elsewhere.\r\n\r\nAs a Realtor, one of the most enjoyable aspects of my job is taking folks unfamiliar with Beaufort on a wide ranging general tour of the Lowcountry, showing them not just homes, but everything life in the area has to offer. Most can’t help but fall in love and I honestly can’t blame them, the same thing happened to me just over 20 years ago. The best part, I think we saw some of the same sparks in John and Leeann’s eyes as they got to fully experience a slice of what life is like in the Lowcountry. I’m hoping that maybe, just maybe, those sparks will eventually become a fire and we’ll have two new folks visiting the area looking for a home. Only time will tell but, if so, I know just the agent for them!\r\n<div></div>', 'Uncle John is coming!', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'uncle-john-is-coming', '', '', '2013-07-17 20:13:17', '2013-07-18 00:13:17', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=12117', 0, 'post', '', 0),

It is a must read, but I’ll give you a couple of excerpts here:\r\n\r\n“That’s because good advice rarely changes, while markets change constantly. The temptation to pander is almost irresistible. And while people need good advice, what they want is advice that sounds good.  The advice that sounds the best in the short run is always the most dangerous in the long run.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_12120\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"150\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Biz-Wells-Fargo-Levin.jpg\"><img class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-12120\" alt=\"Arthur Levin\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Biz-Wells-Fargo-Levin-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" /></a> Arthur Levin[/caption]\r\n\r\n“Everyone wants the secret, the key, the roadmap to the primrose path that leads to El Dorado: the magical low-risk, high-return investment that can double your money in no time. Everyone wants to chase the returns of whatever has been hottest and to shun whatever has gone cold. Most financial journalism, like most of Wall Street itself, is dedicated to a basic principle of marketing: When the ducks quack, feed ‘em. In practice, for most of the media, that requires telling people to buy Internet stocks in 1999 and early 2000; explaining, in 2005 and 2006, how to ‘flip’ houses.\r\n\r\n“It’s no wonder that, as brilliant research by the psychologist Paul Andreassen showed many years ago, people who receive frequent news updates on their investments earn lower returns than those who get no news. It’s also no wonder that the media has ignored those findings. Not many people care to admit that they spend their careers being part of the problem instead of trying to be part of the solution.\r\n\r\nOur job, as I see it, is to learn from other people’s mistakes and our own.

Straight, white teeth make you look younger and feel better about your appearance.  That confidence can energize every aspect of living, from work to family to love life.  A confident, happy appearance inspires confidence from others, too, and it prompts a good reception at work, at home and everywhere you go.\r\n\r\nResearch gives us some surprising insights about the impact of your smile.  One study demonstrated that a smile improves a person’s attractiveness — to both men and women — more than make-up.  Another study revealed that a person’s teeth topped the list of what makes them attractive.  More than hair and clothes, more than hands and nails, more than the car they drive.  Human beings are hard-wired to team up with others who look healthy and capable. A bright, strong smile signals those qualities in a way everybody understands.\r\n\r\nPatients find that it is possible and practical to achieve their own best smile.  We work with them closely to choose the path that suits them best.  Today’s options for lighting up that smile are better than ever, because advances in cosmetic dentistry put the smiles that improve people’s lives well within their reach.\r\n\r\nOne of the quickest improvements can come from ZOOMTM Whitening. In about an hour this technology gives dazzling results. Some patients choose an affordable, professional-strength at-home alternative for whitening.\r\n\r\nThe methods to straighten teeth when they’re crowded, cracked, crooked or misaligned are so much better today than years ago.  Thanks to new “smile makeover” technology and advances in dental materials we can literally change a person’s smile in as few as two visits.\r\n\r\nMany people don’t realize that they no longer have to start young, take years or wear visible braces to get the smooth, even alignment they would like to have.  For instance, the Six Month SmileTM is a fast, almost invisible way to reach that goal without showing braces to the world.\r\n\r\nRecontouring teeth, to sculpt more attractive edges, improves comfort and function too.

The Y’s learning loss prevention program focuses on children entering first and second grade at Whale Branch Elementary School who are most at risk of falling behind in their reading skills over the summer months. The program is one of three pilot programs being tested by YMCA of the USA, the resource office for the nation’s Ys, as part of the nonprofit’s efforts to address gaps in academic achievement among the nation’s most disadvantaged youth.\r\n\r\nThe goal of the Y’s pilot program is to help children read at grade level by the third grade — a key educational milestone that is important to children’s ongoing knowledge retention and academic performance.\r\n\r\n“We know that the combination of extended learning and enrichment activities is essential to increasing children’s success in school, and we are dedicated to helping more kids achieve their potential,” said Kaylin Garst, operations director, YMCA of Beaufort County.\r\n\r\nAs a leading nonprofit focused on youth development, the Y nurtures the potential of every child and teen. The YMCA of Beaufort County is one of 43 Ys across the country offering the summer learning loss prevention pilot program this year, which complements the Y’s other educational programming, including traditional camp programs that are located on site at the Wardle Family YMCA in Port Royal, serving approximately 400 children ages 3-15 years old, as well as an additional 200 students within Jasper County.

Upon arrival, deputies met with a 40-year-old male who reported that he had been shot at and had his car stolen by two unknown black males.\r\n\r\nThe victim advised that he was driving to his girlfriend’s home at 952 Kinloch Road when he noticed a large tree branch lying in the driveway.  As he got out of the car to move the branch, he heard a male’s voice from the nearby woods. When he noticed two men coming out of the woods, one armed with a handgun and the other with a shotgun, the victim dropped the branch and ran to his girlfriend’s home, leaving his vehicle running in the driveway.\r\n\r\nAs he was running he heard shots being fired behind him. The victim was able to make it inside the home uninjured. It was then discovered that several rounds had entered his girlfriend’s home and also damaged her vehicle.\r\n\r\nWhen the shooting ceased, the victim went back outside, and he found that his own vehicle was gone. The victim’s vehicle, a blue 2013 Dodge Challenger was recovered later Saturday afternoon when it was reported abandoned off of nearby Stroban Road. The vehicle was undamaged.\r\n\r\nThe suspects were described only as black males dressed in dark clothing, one wearing a hooded sweatshirt, and the other had long hair. The motive for the incident remains undetermined. Anyone with information is asked to contact Investigator Staff Sgt. J.

Upon arrival, contact was made with a 55-year-old male victim suffering from a gunshot wound to the torso. The victim was unable to provide any information due to the extent of his injuries. The victim was transported to Beaufort Memorial and eventually transferred to MUSC where he remains in stable condition. Anyone with information is asked to contact Investigator Staff Sgt. J. Fraser at 843-255-3416 or Crimestoppers.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<b>Lady’s Island shooting suspect arrested</b>\r\n\r\nThe suspect in last night’s shooting incident that left one man injured has been arrested.\r\n\r\nTwenty-nine-year-old Malcolm Maurice Brabham was arrested by Sheriff’s Office investigators Tuesday afternoon. During the course of the ongoing investigation, investigators were able to track Brabham down at a worksite on Palmetto Bluff in Bluffton.\r\n\r\nBrabham was arrested without incident just before 3 p.m. Tuesday, July 16. The investigation into the events leading up to and including the shooting of 33-year-old Chadwick Mitchell continues.\r\n\r\nDeputies had responded to the area of 20 River Drive at approximately 9:30 p.m. Monday night in reference to a reported gunshot victim. Upon arrival, contact was made with Mitchell, who was suffering from a gunshot wound to the torso. Mitchell was able to advise that he’d been shot by his brother-in-law, Malcolm Brabham.\r\n\r\nMitchell advised that he had spent the evening riding around with Brabham having drinks. Eventually the men stopped and picked up a female friend. The three continued driving around, however, the men began to argue when Mitchell accused Brabham of cheating on Mitchell’s sister with the female riding with them. During the course of the argument, the female decided to exit the vehicle and walked away, leaving the two men to continue their argument. The men continued driving to the area of Holly Hall Road and Little Capers Road where Brabham stopped the car. Mitchell exited the vehicle as the dispute continued to escalate. At that time, Brabham retrieved a handgun and shot Mitchell in the torso.\r\n\r\nBrabham then fled the area, leaving Mitchell wounded on the roadside. Mitchell walked to a nearby home on River Drive where he sought help from residents. He was transferred to MUSC, where he remains in stable condition.\r\n\r\nIn addition to charges of Attempted Murder and Possession of a Firearm During the Commission of a Violent Crime for last night’s shooting, Brabham will also be charged on other unrelated outstanding warrants to include Violation of Probation, Criminal Domestic Violence, and multiple Magistrate Court bench warrants.', 'News Briefs', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'news-briefs-50', '', '', '2013-07-17 20:17:08', '2013-07-18 00:17:08', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=12126', 0, 'post', '', 0),

If your parents passed on to you the idea that you will never be good enough, every time you feel happy, depression may knock at your door and whisper, “How could you possibly be happy here?” The result? You’re stuck in bed and avoiding life for yet another year.\r\n\r\nThe story we tell ourselves about the world and our part in it is pretty much set by our third decade in life. We will believe ourselves and our stories even to the contrary of reality now.\r\n\r\nOur coping methods — sheer drops into depression, or the heights of arrogance — can become our worst enemies if we aren’t willing to re-write the original story that is marching us along.\r\n\r\nIt’s the Johnny Cash song, “A Boy Named Sue,” all over again. The song, “A Boy Named Sue,” tells of a father naming his newborn son “Sue” on his way out the door, hoping to strengthen the boy in his absence. Naturally, it worked. The boy became a fighter. The boy became a man, but he never understood the gift in his name until a blood and guts fight with his Pa, wherein the intent is revealed.\r\n\r\nSo it is with our own darker moments until we see the gift in each one, we can only be defined by their severity.\r\n\r\nAs for the power to be found in commitment and roots, Meg Jay in her book, “The Defining Decade, Why Your Twenties Matter — And How To Make the Most of Them Now,” further fleshes out the old saying, “What doesn’t kill you will make you stronger.” Meg tells us that you need to struggle in order to develop a sense of mastery or accomplishment. She says that, “If you’re in your twenties and don’t feel anxious and incompetent at work, you are probably overconfident and underemployed.”\r\n\r\nIf you exit a difficult situation or call your moma every time things get a little messy, you may fail to develop inner self-assurance, and you may ultimately become disillusioned with yourself and your abilities. You become a character from “Who Moved My Cheese.”\r\n\r\nThere is hope, however, for many of us who start out behind. Turn that “Boy Named Sue” instinct for resistance into poetry, crusades, or advocacy for others who have fallen along life’s path. If you start now there is at least the possibility that because of, rather than despite your struggles in life, you may become more, rather than less, than those who picked up life’s basic lessons early on.\r\n<div></div>', 'Catching up: Part III', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'catching-up-part-iii', '', '', '2013-07-17 20:18:06', '2013-07-18 00:18:06', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=12128', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Christopher and Bethany Hewitt, the husband and wife team that owns and operates Southern Graces Catering, live to create culinary masterpieces that showcase the Lowcountry’s natural cuisines, as well as a variety of other flavors, including French and Southwestern.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_12132\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"150\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/BethanyHewitt.headshot.jpg\"><img class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-12132\" alt=\"Bethany Hewitt\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/BethanyHewitt.headshot-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" /></a> Bethany Hewitt[/caption]\r\n\r\nBethany Hewitt, a Tennessee native, explained that food has always been her passion. “When I was in eighth grade, I would sell tickets to my friends to come to my house for afternoon tea. We actually had to go to two seatings, because so many people wanted to come.”\r\n\r\nEven as a child, Hewitt experimented with new ways of creating food that would excite people. Her afternoon tea events were highlighted by homemade filo dough pastry bowls filled with fruit and cream, served on her grandmother’s china by costumed waiters and waitresses. “My mom and stepfather would dress up for these things,” she said, laughing.\r\n\r\nAs she grew up, Hewitt knew that cooking was definitely the career choice she wanted to pursue. After attending Belmont College and earning a communications degree, she travelled to Europe to broaden her horizons. “I had an opportunity to go to the Netherlands, and studied at a nontraditional cooking school where we lived on and worked for a farm that supplied food for the village we were living in,” she said.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_12133\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"150\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/4X0J3509.jpg\"><img class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-12133\" alt=\"Christopher Hewitt\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/4X0J3509-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" /></a> Christopher Hewitt[/caption]\r\n\r\nBoth Bethany and Christopher have had incredibly well-rounded culinary backgrounds. Christopher, a New York native, graduated top in his class from the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, and “has had a very formal culinary education,” as Bethany describes it. Thanks to his more formal introduction to the food business, Christopher had the opportunity to work closely with celebrity chef Bobby Flay and compete on the Food Network show “Iron Chef” — twice. For 12 years, he ran Flay’s Mesa Grill in Manhattan, before he and Bethany decided to move Southern Graces from its pre-existing location in Knoxville, Tenn., to Beaufort.\r\n\r\nAfter moving their catering business here, Bethany and Christopher partnered with The Beaufort Inn to create not only an event catering service, but a bistro in which patrons can come eat lunch, tea, dinner and even a special Sunday brunch.  “We’re now in our fifth year of partnering with them,” Hewitt explained, “And it is, without question, a natural fit for us to be a part of The Beaufort Inn.” Southern Graces controls all of the food and beverage that The Beaufort Inn serves, and makes it the only place in Beaufort where 365 days a year, guests can be served gourmet food for almost any meal of the day.\r\n\r\nPartnering with The Beaufort Inn has not only allowed the Hewitts to fine tune their everyday dining menu, but has also given them an opportunity to interact with the <a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/RGW5981-color-copy.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-12134\" alt=\"_RGW5981 color copy\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/RGW5981-color-copy-300x199.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" /></a>community through catered events such as weddings, graduations and birthday parties. “We do this because of the connections that form between people when they sit down to eat together,” Hewitt said with a smile.\r\n\r\nIn the past couple years, the Hewitts opened Southern Graces Soiree downtown at the old firehouse building so they could create an additional venue to host weddings, galas and events. Certainly, Southern Graces does its best to make every experience special and unique for all the people involved. “I want the weddings we do to be more about the bride and groom,” Hewitt explained, “I want people to come in and say, ‘This is exactly what I imagined this couple would have at their wedding.’ ”\r\n\r\nThat philosophy carries over, not only into the company’s wedding celebrations, but into their other catered events as well. For instance, Southern Graces has partnered with Porsche of North America, which has approached Bethany to be their National Event Coordinator, and the company caters many car launches. They will even be putting on events for Gulfstream this summer. For the Southern Graces crew, these events are a chance to really get outside their comfort zone and expose people to combinations that they had never considered.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/IMG_1818-2.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-12135\" alt=\"IMG_1818 2\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/IMG_1818-2-300x199.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" /></a>“We love to do different stations,” Bethany said, “For the Gulfstream event, we’re showcasing our local flair with a tomato carving station. We’ll have red tomatoes, heirloom tomatoes, green tomatoes, yellow tomatoes, Black Cherokee tomatoes — just basically everything tomato, and people will be able to make their own caprese salad, with herbs and fresh mozzarella.”\r\n\r\nThe event will also feature a watermelon station, called Freshly Southern which will highlight watermelon with fresh slices of melon, a watermelon-shrimp ceviche, as well as watermelon shots: a carved melon shot glass filled with a shot of housemade herb vodka.\r\n\r\nWith all these exciting prospects, you’d think that the folks at Southern Graces would have their hands full, but luckily for the Beaufort community, that’s not the case at all.\r\n\r\n“We’re going to be opening up a more casual restaurant in town,” Bethany said, “It’ll be called Burlap, and it should generate lots more creativity, and tons more ideas for us here.”\r\n\r\nWhile the Hewitts solidify plans for the new restaurant, they’ll continue running the bistro,  and the catering company in full force, and plan on introducing more fresh foods to their menus as the local availability changes.\r\n\r\nTo find out more about all that Southern Graces has to offer, visit www.southerngracescatering.com.

The next phase of the program, scheduled to be implemented later this month, will include the nurse practitioner following up with heart failure patients in their homes for 90 days post-discharge to assist in managing their care.\r\n\r\nTo reinforce the importance of compliance, BMH enlisted the help of seven area churches, many of which already had educational health programs.\r\n\r\n“We know in the Lowcountry there is a high incidence of obesity, diabetes and high blood pressure,” said Patricia Goings, director of the Health and Wellness Ministry at Family Worship Center. “A lot of the medical problems people have are related to the southern culture.”\r\n\r\nWhile lifestyle, including things like diet and cooking, is often based in tradition, Goings hopes by increasing awareness through education, residents will learn more healthy options.\r\n\r\nFamily Worship Center Health &amp; Wellness Ministry celebrated the first anniversary of the partnership with the hospital this past weekend.\r\n\r\n“I have to acknowledge Pastor Jeanette Harley for encouraging this ministry to exist, and her desire to empower and have all churches in the area form a Health &amp; Wellness ministry,” said Goings.\r\n\r\nMore than 100 members of the African-American congregation have now registered for the twice-a-month screenings offered during the regular Sunday services. The volunteers conducting the tests keep a record of the patients’ blood pressure, weight, blood sugar and other vital signs, allowing them to track any deterioration in health.\r\n\r\n“The idea is to catch a problem early before it requires hospitalization,” said Kathy Phillips, a registered nurse and diabetes educator at Beaufort Memorial’s LifeFit Wellness Center. “For instance, if a patient with congestive heart failure gains three to five pounds in a 24 hour period, it can indicate excess fluid weight gain.”\r\n\r\nAlong with training for the volunteers, BMH provided each church with medical equipment, including a stethoscope, scale and blood pressure cuff as well as a sign to promote the free screenings to the community.\r\n\r\nMost of the volunteers using the equipment have prior medical experience. More importantly, they know the congregants participating in the program.\r\n\r\n“Patients are more receptive to people they see every week at church than a doctor they see every three months,” Bryan said. “About 95 percent of them have made some kind of lifestyle change to improve their health.”\r\n\r\nThe screenings are free and open to the public. Participating churches include St. Helena and Faith Memorial Baptist Church on St. Helena Island, Mt. Carmel Baptist in Seabrook, Grace Chapel AME and Tabernacle Baptist in downtown Beaufort and The Link Church in Port Royal.\r\n\r\n“It’s been a blessing. We’re helping people manage their medical issues and prevent other illnesses,” said Goings.\r\n\r\n“Knowing that we are helping to make the difference makes it worth our time and effort to keep the program going.”\r\n<div></div>', 'BMH Transitional Care Program marks first anniversary', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'bmh-transitional-care-program-marks-first-anniversary', '', '', '2013-07-18 02:50:59', '2013-07-18 06:50:59', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=12137', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Last week, hospital administrators surprised her with the award at the end of her 12-hour shift.\r\n\r\n“We don’t usually allow dogs in the hospital, but Morgan was willing to take the extra steps to make it happen,” said Dot Rucker, department director of the 5th floor. “She wanted to do whatever she could to comfort the family during a very difficult time.”\r\n\r\nAlthough the patient was unconscious, her daughter laid the dog, named Maddie, on the bed next to her mother.\r\n\r\n“It was so sweet,” Lotz recalled. “The dog rested its head on the patient’s chest and just laid there quietly. It was a very emotional moment for the family.”\r\n\r\nIn appreciation of her kindness, the patient’s family recently gave Lotz a framed print of a wolf, part of a collection of Native American artwork owned by their mother.\r\n\r\n“I was very surprised when it was presented to me,” Lotz said. “It’s a very cool print. I have it hanging in my home.”\r\n\r\nIn addition, a family friend, Beaufort resident Robbie Robertson, decided to nominate Lotz for a DAISY Award. Anyone can nominate a nurse for the prestigious award. Applications are available throughout the hospital.\r\n\r\nThe DAISY Award was created in 1999 by a Seattle couple as a way to honor the nurses who took care of their son before he died. It has since been adopted by healthcare facilities all over the world.\r\n\r\nUnaware she had been nominated for the award, Lotz was caught off guard again when she was called in early Wednesday morning to speak to her supervisor.\r\n\r\n“When my manager told me the boss wanted to see me, I got a little nervous,”\r\n\r\nLotz recounted. “I was in utter shock when I walked into the room and saw all these people standing there with balloons.”\r\n\r\nThe 23-year-old nurse was given an engraved vase full of daisies and a trophy titled, “A Healer’s Touch,” a hand-carved sculpture created by artists of the Shona Tribe in Zimbabwe.\r\n\r\n“Caring for patients and their family is the whole reason I became a nurse,” Lotz said. “I feel like I’m making a difference.”\r\n<div></div>', 'Beaufort Memorial nurse honored with DAISY award', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'beaufort-memorial-nurse-honored-with-daisy-award', '', '', '2013-07-18 03:05:33', '2013-07-18 07:05:33', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=12142', 0, 'post', '', 0),

All events were held on or adjacent to the municipal parking lot and in case of inclement weather (the word “rain” is never used when speaking of the festival), the pageant would move indoors to the Beaufort Elementary School and the balls would be held in the Community Club.\r\n\r\nAs the years went by, the festival began to draw more and more people to Beaufort from other parts of the state and on a national level. Events such as fishing and golf tournaments, as well as a craft market and sponsors’ and community nonprofit expos were added to the line up so the festival had something to offer for every age and interest. The Festival continues to add new events to keep current with the interests of festival-goers.\r\n\r\nMore than 400 volunteers work long hours to bring the events to the community.

In 2009, her design displayed Downtown Beaufort’s Riverfront at sunset overlooking the sandbar, a beloved summer location. This year, with the ideas from Commodore Dan Thompson and First Lady Bonnie, Mary wanted to incorporate everything there is to love about Water Festival. The design includes the raft races, the Marine Corp band, the air show, and many other events.  Thibault has also designed the 2013 Fishing Tournament T-shirt.\r\n\r\nAs a lifelong Beaufort resident, Thibault has been involved with the Water Festival for many years, painting the faces of hundreds of children and selling her work through her business, Thibault Gallery.\r\n\r\nLetting her creativity flow through her to a canvas is her passion; however, Mary’s talent does not stop there.  Thibault’s work ranges from hand-painted tiles and wine glasses to portraits and wall murals. Both are evident in the hallways of Beaufort High School, where she handpainted portraits of past Nobel Peace Prize recipients such as Martin Luther King Jr., Mother Teresa, and Mahatma Gandhi. Thibault’s love of bright colors and Lowcountry inspiration is a true reflection of herself as an artist, and as a person.\r\n\r\nThibault’s work can now be seen at Atelier on Bay, a new studio/gallery located upstairs in the old Lipsitz building on Bay Street.

(12183, 4, '2013-07-24 15:15:58', '2013-07-24 19:15:58', '<b>By Tracie Korol</b>\r\n\r\nOften when a family is considering adding a dog to the household I am asked, “What kind of dog is good with children?”. Unfortunately, no breed comes with a guarantee of kid safety. Often my response to that question is one of my own—“how are your kids around dogs?” Skipping this important element could result in children getting bitten and dogs being blamed unjustly.\r\n\r\nA dog’s temperament is inherited, then modified by events in his life and proper training.  Certain breeds and certain bloodlines within breeds are friendlier, more tolerant and more adaptable to training because they were bred to be that way. A responsible breeder puts emphasis on developing good temperament. However, if you are looking at a mixed breed rescue dog you have no idea of his heritage or his\r\ndark history.\r\n\r\nGranted, very few bites happen without provocation, but provocation may exist only in the dog’s mind.  Dogs are not little people in hair suits.  They don’t think the way humans do; most of their reactions are instinctive. A dog will react to a situation unless consistent training and socialization modify\r\nhis instincts.\r\n\r\nHere’s a common scenario: A young child sees a dog she’d like to pet. The dog may not want to be petted. Dogs instinctively set up an invisible “fight or flight” boundary around themselves.  When someone unwelcome enters a dog’s boundary, he has two choices—he can run away or he can defend himself.\r\n\r\nHis first reaction may be to simply walk away but he may also show displeasure by giving a warning, often a low growl. A growl is the dog’s way of saying\r\n\r\n“Back off!”\r\n\r\nIf the little girl continues her mission to love on the dog, intruding well into his safety zone and he has issued a warning with no response from the girl, the dog (in his mind) has no other recourse. He bites. A child’s innocent action can be provocation to bite when seen from the dog’s perspective. Running, screaming, darting quickly can also trigger an instinctive predator-prey reaction in some dogs. They look sound and act like something to eat. Children who roughhouse and wrestle with dogs unknowingly encourage them to use their teeth. Dogs equate this kind of activity with dog-on-dog play where using teeth is allowed.  Startling a sleeping dog or petting him when he’s eating can also provoke a snap not unlike when you startle Uncle Ernie out of a nap and he reacts with an unprintable phrase.\r\n\r\nWhat can be done to prevent an “unfortunate incident”?  First, it’s essential to understand that any dog will bite under the right circumstances.  A dog is a dog and behavior can never be predicted with 100% accuracy no matter how friendly or reliable he is.  Obedience training and socialization are absolute musts for dogs that will share their lives with children.\r\n\r\nNow, for the other side: just as children need to be taught how to be well behaved around other people, they also need instruction in how to be respectful and well behaved around animals.  They need to learn which games are appropriate, how to touch a dog properly, how to interpret a dog’s body language and when a dog is not to be disturbed.  I have frequently insinuated myself into situations in public when I see a squealing, running toddler bee-lining for an unknown dog, little (toothsome) fingers waving enticingly in the doggie’s face. If you understand how a dog thinks, that scenario could quite easily develop into a horrifying incident reported on the evening news.\r\n\r\nIn short, adult supervision is essential. Small children should never be left alone with any dog, no matter how reliable he has been before. It’s up to adults to keep kids safe from dogs and to keep dogs safe from children.  Kids and dogs are a wonderful American tradition but not one to be taken lightly.\r\n\r\nNext week: specific kid behaviors that dogs may perceive as danger.\r\n<div></div>', 'Kids and Dogs: a Common Sense Approach', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'kids-and-dogs-a-common-sense-approach-2', '', '', '2013-07-24 15:15:58', '2013-07-24 19:15:58', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=12183', 0, 'post', '', 0),

I ordered the Fried Green Tomato BLT made with honey cured bacon, crunchy fried green tomatoes, chopped crisp romaine lettuce,  ranch sauce and smoked provolone on a toasted hoagie. This sandwich is absolutely incredible, the combination of crispy bacon and lettuce with savory ranch sauce is my favorite. Pair that with a mason jar of mixed berry lemonade, as well as a giant side of homemade curly chips (and more ranch sauce!) and it makes for a great Southern summer meal.\r\n\r\nKim also ordered a delicious sandwich, the Gobbler. This sourdough panini is piled high with roasted turkey breast, soft Brie cheese, honey-smoked bacon, mayo and homemade strawberry sauce. Kim “gobbled” hers all up.\r\n\r\nAlways a fan of chicken salad, Buck tried the Red Rooster version in the form of a Curried Rooster Waldorf sandwich made with curried chicken salad with walnuts, grapes and fresh lettuce wrapped in a warm tortilla.\r\n\r\nElizabeth’s Pear Necessities salad was healthy, yet amazing, filled with fresh spring mix, fresh pears, dried cranberries, grilled chicken, sweet and salty toasted pecans, bacon, Feta cheese\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_12190\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"150\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/DSC_0061.jpg\"><img class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-12190\" alt=\"Pear Necessities salad\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/DSC_0061-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" /></a> Pear Necessities salad[/caption]\r\n\r\nand drizzled with a sweet poppy seed dressing.\r\n\r\nWe were also treated to a variety of homemade desserts that vary daily.

(12194, 4, '2013-07-24 20:17:37', '2013-07-25 00:17:37', '<b>By Celia Strong</b>\r\n\r\nThis week, as always, there will be some wine repeats, but some new wines, too. We’re going to Napa Valley, California, a particularly special part of the valley for, what I think, a particularly nice wine.\r\n\r\nNapa Valley is probably the best known of all the California AVAs. Within the main, large Napa Valley AVA, there are more than fifteen sub-regions, all AVAs as well, mostly well known and many homes to great wines. And, further, great in most cases means pricey too. Wine production, commercial wine production to be precise, in Napa dates back to the nineteenth century. But the production premium wines that we now know Napa for only started in the 1960’s. Compared to all the wines we drink from European countries, there’s not much history here. But, some of Napa’s brief history is interesting. Quickly, the valley’s first commercial vineyard was established in 1858 by John Patchett.  He sold a gallon of his wine for two dollars. Hmmm? The original “two buck?” Right after that, in 1861, Charles Krug established another commercial winery in St. Helena.  We can still get wines from the Charles Krug Winery. By the end of the nineteenth century, there were more than one hundred forty wineries in Napa County. Besides Charles Krug, there are several others still producing from these early days — Beaulieu, Beringer, Chateau Montelena, Far Niente, Mayacamus, Markham, and Schramsberg. Wine production in Napa, like most other sources in the United States, suffered setbacks in the late 19th century and early 20th — phylloxera outbreaks in the vineyards, Prohibition and the Great Depression. The really big comeback for Napa resulted from the win, at the 1976 Judgement of Paris Wine Tasting, by two Napa wines.\r\n\r\nIn 1938, Beaulieu hired André Tchelistcheff and he is credited with introducing modern winemaking into Napa. Aging wine in French oak barrels, cold fermentation, vineyard frost prevention and malo-lactic fermentation are all taken for granted now, but are less than  100 years old in Napa. On a secondary front, from the world of advertising and self-promotion, Beringer Vineyards, in 1939, invited Hollywood stars like Clark Gable, Charles Laughton and Carole Lombard to visit, taste their wines, buy a T-shirt, etc.  “All roads lead to Beringer!” was their slogan.  This  is considered the beginning of wine-based tourism. (Just kidding about the T-shirt, but you get the idea. I think the whole California wine industry could only exist in California, geography aside.)\r\n\r\nToday, Napa Valley has more than 450 wineries. And more than 4 million people visit the valley every year. And movie stars? They still probably visit, and now they even own vineyards.\r\n\r\nBack to the big Paris tasting in 1976 for one quick second. A Napa Valley Chardonnay and a Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon both took prizes. The 1973 Chateau Montelena Chardonnay was first in its category. (The movie “Bottle Shock” is a good version of this fun story.) And the Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars 1973 Cask 23 Cabernet Sauvignon was the winning red wine. <b>Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars</b> makes our wine for this week.\r\n\r\nIn 1970, Warren Winiarski established his winery in the Stag’s Leap District of Napa. (Please, not even 10 years old when its Cabernet won?) Winiarski bought 44 acres for less than $200,000 dollars in this district where stags were actually seen leaping on the hillsides. The land was planted with prune trees, cherry trees and walnut trees, but, after tasting wines from nearby land, Winiarski replanted his acreage with Cabernet and Merlot vines. He named it Stag’s Leap Vineyard and produced his first vintage in 1972. (Yes, that means his winning 1973 wine was only his second.) After the Paris win, accolades and money to expand both came to Winiarski. More land, more varieties, more everything. In 2007, a joint venture between Chateau Ste. Michelle in Washington state and Antinori Srl from Tuscany, Italy,  bought Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars. How much? $185 million dollars. That’ll buy a few T-shirts. A few movie stars too, if Winiarski wanted.\r\n\r\nOur Stag’s Leap wine this week is its Sauvignon Blanc. The Stag’s Leap Sauvignon Blanc has a Napa Valley appellation, which means at least 75 percent of the grapes come from the valley AVA.  California produces more Sauvignon Blanc wines than any other state. In some instances, Sauvignon Blanc wines have also been called “Fumé Blanc.” Robert Mondavi made the first Fumé Blanc wine in 1968. Also a Napa producer, Mondavi was offered some particularly good Sauvignon Blanc grapes that year. At the time, California versions of this wine had a poor reputation because of their grassy flavors and aggressive aromas, especially cat pee. Yum! Mondavi decided to try and tame that aggressiveness by barrel aging the wine. He then released the wine but called it Fumé Blanc — a break from the variety name and a link to the French wine, Pouilly Fumé, that is also made from Sauvignon Blanc and often lightly oaked. Now, California producers can use either name for their Sauvignon Blanc wines, both oaked and unoaked. The wines tend to fall into two styles —the New Zealand style with tropical fruit notes mixed with citrus or the Mondavi Fumé Blanc style with rounder, softer textures and melon notes. The style, either one, is partly where the grapes are grown in California and partly what the winemaker does with them.\r\n\r\nThe 2009 Stag’s Leap Sauvignon Blanc is almost bits of both these styles. Almost, but closer to one than the other. (You decide which.) It is a vibrant wine, with lots of lovely tropical notes in its aromas — orange blossoms, grapefruit, lychee nuts, peaches. The flavors become juicy in your mouth, fruit-forward, and have an overcoat of lively acidity. Guava, honeyed tangerine, juicy pears, limes, a hint of minerality, citrus notes, sandalwood spice are some of the flavors. And wouldn’t a candle with all that be just perfect!  This wine’s finish lingers in our mouth. Thank goodness — we can enjoy it a couple of minutes longer.  I have to warn you, though, all these aromas and flavors and textures are not in the first sniff or first sip. You might get hints but it’s only as you work your way through several glasses, or the whole bottle, that it has a chance to open up and develop for you. More like a European wine?  Probably. More fun and enjoyable?  I think so. A good excuse to have another glass?  Your choice.\r\n\r\nWhen it’s paired with mild Thai dishes, medium spicy curries, pasta with shellfish and a white wine cream sauce, sea bass with chanterelles, and lots more food varieties, it becomes very easy to study this wine, too see all its nuances and layers and complexities. For $19.99. Enjoy.\r\n<div></div>', 'Home is where the Stags Leap', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'home-is-where-the-stags-leap', '', '', '2013-07-24 20:17:37', '2013-07-25 00:17:37', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=12194', 0, 'post', '', 0);

(12198, 4, '2013-07-24 20:21:27', '2013-07-25 00:21:27', '<b>By Wendy Nilsen Pollitzer</b>\r\n\r\nOn Friday, June 28 the Coastal Community Foundation presented a $15,000 check to board members, clergy and staff of St. Peter’s Catholic School as part of a grant to fund the Learning Center of Beaufort County at the Lady’s Island school. St. Peter’s matched the grant and will implement the Learning Center under the umbrella of their established curriculum during the school day.\r\n\r\nThe Coastal Community Foundation’s ultimate goal is to improve the quality of life in Beaufort County by supporting the network of non-profits that serve our community.\r\n\r\nEdna Crews, Regional Vice President of the Coastal Community Foundation, supports and encourages the collaboration of non-profits to seek grants.\r\n\r\n“Our job is to facilitate relationships in order to evaluate and approve grants. This collaboration between St. Peter’s Catholic School and The Learning Center of Beaufort County is a win-win. Additionally, we have an obligation to continue to provide this fund for The Learning Center of Beaufort in perpetuity. It will always be here,” explains Crews.\r\n\r\nJoseph Benning, principal of the school, is excited about the new endeavor.\r\n\r\n“This opportunity will allow our students to receive help in the early grades, so that by the time they reach middle school, they will have improved their reading and math skills,” explains Benning.\r\n\r\nRob Wilson, board president, agrees.\r\n\r\n“I echo the sentiments of Mr. Benning. As a parent of four, I personally appreciate the opportunity,” says Wilson.\r\n\r\nThe Learning Center of Beaufort will offer students the chance to fully engage in a meaningful learning process, effectively utilize their distinctive learning styles and productively pursue ongoing academic achievement. And most importantly, The Learning Center will be available to every child in Beaufort County at a variety of locations.\r\n\r\nAll too often, children who possess an alternative to the verbal learning style get frustrated with mainstream teaching methods and abandon their will to learn. Students become apathetic; but, it’s not their fault. They just learn differently than most. The misunderstanding begins when many people can’t figure out why an intelligent person can’t read at their expected level. The mistreating begins when students are simply encouraged to “try harder.”\r\n\r\nMalcolm Goodridge, founder and benefactor of The Learning Center of Beaufort County, understands this frustration. He is dyslexic. And he says his dyslexia is his greatest asset.\r\n\r\nGoodridge remembers growing up and being called a “dummy” all the way through school. He took remedial reading classes to assist him, but they didn’t help much. He fought hard through school to overcome his learning disability, eventually going on to a distinguished career as a senior executive with American Express. Now retired, he thanks his struggle with dyslexia for his continued ambition toward success.\r\n\r\n“I think that if I was a normal kid, I wouldn’t have the drive for success that I have now. I was pushed down so far, I had to figure out a way to survive,” says Goodridge.\r\n\r\nHeather Rembold, parent and former teacher, appreciates Goodridge’s outreach to the community and adds, “I’d like to personally thank Malcolm Goodridge. This program will complement our small class sizes, so that teachers can concentrate on their lessons and students who need extra help will get the full attention they deserve.”\r\n\r\nCrews agrees, “When Malcolm (Goodridge) first approached the Coastal Community Foundation, he wanted to find a way to provide services to all children, regardless of where they lived in Beaufort County. His desire was to see kids get the assistance they deserve in order to have a full life like his.”\r\n\r\nD.C. Gilley, Board Member of the Coastal Community Foundation agrees.\r\n\r\n“It’s exciting to see this partnership become reality. This is a great day for Beaufort county children,” says Gilley.\r\n\r\nFather Paul MacNeil adds, “The parish and the school rejoice on this day. Our students will continue to learn under the umbrella of Christian tradition as we expand our program.”\r\n\r\nIn addition to Malcolm Goodridge, the board of the Learning Center of Beaufort County consists of Charles Kresch, past President of the Beaufort County Board of Education and David House, Board member of Beaufort Memorial Hospital and AMIkids.

The new Pizza Hut location, which is presently undergoing renovation, is in the Food Lion shopping center.\r\n\r\n<b>Beaufort Bread Company Plans July Opening.</b> The Beaufort Bread Company, located at the site of the former Substation II/Carolina Deli in the Lady’s Island Shopping Center, has completed a very intensive renovation and plans to open sometime in July. This new bakery and café will offer Artisan style breads and pastries, house-made fresh pastas, handcrafted sausages, as well as a full selection of breakfast and lunch items featuring local ingredients. Rick Stone and his wife, Deborah, have lived on Lady’s Island for 8 years and are very excited to start a business to benefit the island. You can check out the bakery and follow its progress on their new website www.beaufortbread.com.\r\n\r\n<b>It’s Only Natural Health Food Store In Transition.</b>  Tom and Joyce Tallmadge, owners and operators of It’s Only Natural Health Food Store, have closed the doors of their health food store on Lady’s Island and are transitioning to a home-based personal services and internet business.  Joyce explained their decision on their web site as follows: “We are both excited and a little sad to share with you our decision to join with others in the 21st Century and move toward personal services and an internet-based business.  We are closing the store front of It’s Only Natural on Lady’s Island. Tom and I have so enjoyed serving you, our loyal customers, over the years and hope that we can continue to do so.  As to our internet-based business, we will still have the same phone number and email address plus an additional phone number (843-812-1921).  Also, we will be at the Lowcountry Flea Market on Saturdays from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., 5 Parker Drive, next to the Drive In.”  For details regarding their new business, please visit www.healthfoodsc.com.\r\n\r\n<b>Golf Course Reopens In Pleasant Point Plantation.</b> During 2005, the Country Club of Beaufort, which was located in the Pleasant Point community, ceased operations. Over the next few years, the golf course properties deteriorated to the point of being an eyesore.  During late 2009, the clubhouse and golf course properties were acquired by the Pleasant Point Property Owners’ Association.  In early 2012, the golf course was leased to a group of local investors who formed TGC (The Golf Course) a management company.  Following a year of redevelopment, TGC at Pleasant Point reopened the 6,602 yard, 18 hole course for public play. We have learned that TGC offers both unlimited golfing plans for the die-hard golfer and special loyalty programs for all golfers. Visit www.tgcppp.com for course information.  We extend our compliments to Pleasant Point and TGC for a job well done.\r\n<div></div>', 'Lady\'s Island Notes', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'ladys-island-notes-6', '', '', '2013-07-25 07:56:27', '2013-07-25 11:56:27', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=12211', 0, 'post', '', 0),

(12215, 4, '2013-07-25 07:57:29', '2013-07-25 11:57:29', '<b>By Cherimie Crane Weatherford</b>\r\n\r\nAs thin as the fading line may be between self-restraint and self-discipline, there is still a line. Discipline is one of my oldest and dearest friends, always arriving in times of doubtful disdain making difficult decisions less of an evil acquaintance. Discipline, although not my most gregarious of friends, rarely steers me astray. Leaving me often with moments of frustration, it protects me from days, months, even years of regret.  Self-discipline keeps me on track faithfully to whatever endeavor I presently pursue whether or not I am particularly excited about the task at hand.  We all have that faithful friend that is quick to correct and slow to move.\r\n\r\nSelf-restraint is as familiar to me as the geographical features of Jupiter. It requires a quickness of tact that eludes me at will. In my finest moments, I still fail to summon restraint in even the simplest of situations. In my case, restraint-requiring moments seem mainly to nestle comfortably in the realm of spoken and written communication. Maybe it is genetics. Possibly it is my fiery disposition or blame could fall gently on regional heritage. Regardless of origin, self-restraint is absent among my personal traits.\r\n\r\nMy most recent of restraint-less encounters was at a gas station. Not my normal social scene, however, vehicles require fuel and gas stations are an obvious solution. Enthralled with the mundane task of lifting the nozzle, my intense focus was interrupted by a gentleman wishing to discuss my now obvious physical state of pregnancy. Hearing the voice of my Mother reminding me to be kind and mannerly, I refrained from allowing my freely flowing hormones to run amuck. Instead I put on my best “I am listening but I refuse to look interested” face and smiled politely at his comments. This was a massive strategic fail as it did nothing to deter the awkward conversation.\r\n\r\nRealizing both my tank and my patience had reached capacity, I tried earnestly to discontinue the conversation. I smiled politely (thanks Mom) at the advice on diet, nodded intently at the lengthy commentary about harrowing accounts of delivery and even agreed that maybe I shouldn’t be pumping my own gas as at that very moment — I could not agree more.\r\n\r\nShortly thereafter my lack of self-restraint reared its ugly head yet again. Not only was this gentleman making me oddly uncomfortable but he was also interrupting whatever extremely important commercial the gas station was blasting out of the new and obviously expensive communicative pump. Everyone has their limit.\r\n\r\nSelf-discipline keeps me from running every time I am cornered with the onslaught of new mom advice, reminds me that most diatribes of diapering techniques come from a very sincere place, and at times keeps me from eating the entire box of cupcakes; however, my dear friend discipline runs right out of jurisdiction when it comes to awkward stranger-related discussions.\r\n\r\nIn my humble, yet emphatic, opinion, discussions of breast feeding require a certain familiarity or professional resume, not the commonality of unleaded versus premium. Certainly this inquisition had the best of intent and it could be that somewhere along his path he found this to be a welcomed discussion.\r\n\r\nFor fear that my sweet daughter may somehow find her way through Google in the years to come, I refrain from sharing my complete dialogue. It is likely she will share her mother’s deficiency of self-restraint in the speech department, but should she be blessed with her father’s tact, I will spare her the details. Some things just aren’t meant to be discussed near diesel, y’all, especially not with a pregnant woman with a fiery disposition.', 'Premium, unleaded and pregnancy', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'premium-unleaded-and-pregnancy', '', '', '2013-07-25 07:57:29', '2013-07-25 11:57:29', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=12215', 0, 'post', '', 0),

With the first one, I relished comments such as, “You look great, you’re glowing!” This time, one look into my tired eyes often prompts a patronizing, “How are you feeling?” But what they really mean to say is, “Whoa, you look rough!”\r\n\r\nIt’s for this reason, and many others — including awful acid reflux and extreme exhaustion — that I am glad the end is in sight.\r\n\r\nDuring my time off, I’m looking forward to kicking back and reading books on the beach, sipping cocktails by the pool, spending quality alone time .... um, oops, I’m sorry, that was me talking from Fantasyland.\r\n\r\nInstead, I’ll be making last minute improvements to my house, and trying to pretend that I don’t notice how everything needs to be cleaned but realizing I’m too tired to do anything about it. I’ll also be spending a week on “vacation” with my in-laws.\r\n\r\nOn or around August 7, we’ll be welcoming a new baby girl into the world. Then the rest of the month we’ll be adjusting to the needs of a newborn, as well as taking care of an increasingly willful toddler.

By hovering over that maze, they can see with great clarity why certain doors had to close, while some had to open, wrong turns had to be made, while some right ones just fell before them, and even why sometimes they got stuck in a roundabout that took great guidance to get out of. They can see the folks who showed up right on schedule to teach them something then drifted into a distant memory or the ones that showed up seemingly out of nowhere yet have remained in their hearts and lives forever.\r\n\r\nIn these moments of great clarity, it’s fun to watch those lights that have been dimly lit for years, begin flickering and glowing with a new awareness of their purpose here on earth; that there is truly a Divine plan unfolding that they were asleep to only a moment ago.  These are the moments when we remember that ‘everything in life happens for us, not to us and that every experience is part of our growth and evolution.  They are the “aha’s” that awaken us and re-ignite our spark for living.\r\n\r\nJust as in a maze, we all come in and we all go out. It is the in between where we truly live, zigging and zagging, bumping into walls, heading down the wrong road, or even going back to where we started.  Our individual mazes of life differ not only in the specific circumstances but also in how long it takes us to learn the nuances of navigating those so-called wrong turns, road blocks and squeezy spots to wake up to our power, no longer driven by fear or guilt due to long held beliefs of unworthiness or shame.  Our maze will show the moment we wake up to that power, the place where the chaos and confusion turns into a steady course forward with more gentle turns and calmer paths.\r\n\r\nFew awaken early in life, forced to draw upon their inner strength and courage to get through a difficult life experience becoming the person who knows early on what they want, following their passions to create a life that supports their unfolding with grace and ease.\r\n\r\nThe majority find their core later in life through pain, illness or loss, often during a time when life seemed to be moving along smoothly despite an underlying restlessness or dissatisfaction in a job or relationship. Suddenly, they are bushwhacked into an illness or divorce and forced to dig within to find their voice or courage to move forward. They wake up with a knowingness that there is more to life and begin searching, growing and trusting in their part of the Divine plan.\r\n\r\nFinally, there are those who wake up in the last few days or hours of their life often wishing they had done things differently. Yet, even though the last moments may be filled with many shouldas, couldas, and wouldas, looking back in hover mode allows the ability to see the good and to find gratitude even amongst any regret, lighting the path for a smoother exit out of the maze.\r\n\r\nSo, what do you see when you hover from above?  Are you on your steady course yet or are you still at the roundabout? Either way, relish in the chaos and confusion for as long as is necessary, learning the lessons and honing the skills until you find that confident satisfaction that you are right where you are supposed to be.\r\n\r\nLive Well ... Have Fun!\r\n<div></div>', 'The view of life in hover mode', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'the-view-of-life-in-hover-mode', '', '', '2013-07-25 07:59:14', '2013-07-25 11:59:14', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=12221', 0, 'post', '', 0),

But it’s important to remember they are not toys and operating one requires proper instruction and preparation.\r\n\r\nWhether you’re doing daily chores around the farm or weekend trail rides, make sure you take the proper steps to help keep you and your family safe when using an ATV.\r\n\r\n<b>Before You Head Out</b>\r\n\r\n<b>• Take a safety training course. </b>ATVs can travel at more than 60 miles per hour and tip over very easily. Knowing how to stay safe while riding one is essential. Typical course topics include starting and stopping, quick turns, hill riding, emergency stopping and swerving, riding over obstacles, protective gear, local regulations, places to ride, and environmental concerns. The All-Terrain Vehicle Safety Institute® offers safety training courses around the country.\r\n\r\n<b>• Wear protective gear.</b> A helmet, boots, goggles, gloves, long pants, and a long-sleeved shirt or jacket will help protect against cuts and other injuries.\r\n\r\n<b>• Don’t carry passengers. </b>Most ATVs are designed for one person at a time. Carrying a passenger can make them very difficult to control and be very dangerous.\r\n\r\n<b>• Maintain proper maintenance. </b>A pre-ride checklist can help make sure your ATV is functioning properly and safe to drive. The fuel and oil, tires, brakes, steering, chain, radiator, and battery are a few things you’ll want to consider checking.\r\n\r\n<b>• Check your insurance.</b> Make sure it is up-to-date. Contact your local State Farm agent if you need information about insuring your ATV.\r\n\r\n<b>On the Trail</b>\r\n\r\n<b>• Carry a communication device.</b> A cell phone or walkie-talkie is good to have along in the event of an emergency, especially if riding alone.\r\n\r\n<b>• Ride at proper speed. </b>ATVs can be unstable and difficult to maneuver when driven too fast for conditions. To avoid flipping, maintain proper speed for the terrain, especially on uneven ground. Also be cautious when approaching hills, turns, and obstacles.\r\n\r\n<b>• No tricks or stunts. </b>They might look fun and easy on TV, but they are extremely dangerous and best left to the experts. Most injuries occur when ATVs are operated improperly.\r\n\r\n<b>• Avoid drugs and alcohol. </b>They can greatly impair judgment and reaction time and may lead to serious accident or injury.\r\n\r\n<b>• Drive in appropriate settings. </b>ATVs are not designed to be driven on paved roads. Doing so can be dangerous and is where many fatalities occur. Stay off-road and operate only on safe terrain.\r\n\r\n<b>Children and ATVs</b>\r\n\r\nNever let children drive adult ATVs. Children under 16 are twice as likely to be injured riding adult ATVs than those who operate youth ATVs. If you allow your child to ride an ATV, make sure you follow the manufacturer’s minimum age recommendation warning label.\r\n\r\n<b>• Determine your child’s readiness. </b>Operating an ATV requires the rider to recognize and react to all sorts of potential hazards. Factors to consider include the physical, social, emotional, and motor development of your child, as well as the ability to make sound decisions. The ATV Safety Institute has a safety booklet that includes a readiness checklist to help you make an informed decision about your child’s readiness.\r\n\r\n<b>• Closely monitor.</b> Children on ATVs should be supervised at all times to make sure they are operating them safely. If not, you may want to reconsider their ability and judgment to safely operate an ATV.\r\n\r\n<b>• Educate yourself and your child. </b>Make sure you both have proper training on how to safely operate an ATV. An ATV injury prevention checklist can help you get started.\r\n\r\nNo matter what your age, riding level, or years of experience operating an ATV, it is always smart to be prepared and remember basic safety rules. There’s no reason why off-roading can’t be an enjoyable experience for everyone.', 'Practice ATV safety', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'practice-atv-safety', '', '', '2013-07-25 08:01:02', '2013-07-25 12:01:02', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=12226', 0, 'post', '', 0),

No matter what piece a customer is looking for, David and Gwen Kinard are determined to make it happen for them.\r\n\r\nA native of Fairfax, S.C., David, who is called Pat, attended the Art Institute, studying advertising and design, and graduated second in his class. Although he worked in political and collegiate advertising after college, Kinard felt that he wasn’t following the path he was meant to.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_12233\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Profile-Jewelers-Bench.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-12233\" alt=\"The Kinards specialize in in-house repairs at The Jeweler’s Bench in Beaufort.\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Profile-Jewelers-Bench-300x199.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" /></a> The Kinards specialize in in-house repairs at The Jeweler’s Bench in Beaufort.[/caption]\r\n\r\n“I was out jogging one day, and talking to God, and I thought, ‘Hey, one day, I’d like a dog, and a house, and a wife, and a car, and I just need a career to get me there, something well-thought out and unique.’” Luckily, fortune smiled on Kinard.\r\n\r\nKinard’s father met a man who was liquidating a jewelry store in Hampton, called Kaiser’s Gifts. “He told me about it, and I just thought, ‘That’s it,’ ” said Kinard, “I bought the store from him about a week before Christmas in 1980.”\r\n\r\nFrom there, Kinard’s business grew. At first, Kinard sold pre-designed jewelry, and had his repairs outsourced to other companies that would do them within a few weeks and send them back. However, Kinard and his wife found the wait to be an inexpensive and time-consuming ordeal.\r\n\r\n“One of my suppliers sold the tools for repairs, and offered a class on it in Little Rock, Arkansas, and I decided that I could do it,” said Kinard.\r\n\r\nDriving 24 hours each way, Kinard enrolled in a weeklong class, which taught him the skills to set stones, and resize rings. A few weeks later, the tools they had ordered to start their own repair business arrived, and the Kinards began doing their own in-house repairs.\r\n\r\n“Experience is the best teacher,” Kinard says, “You do it once, and if you see that it needs work, you go back, sit back down, and fix it, the way you would if you were setting a ring for your mom.”\r\n\r\nIt’s this customer-oriented outlook that sets the Jeweler’s Bench apart from their competitors, in Pat Kinard’s eyes. “There are people that care, and people that don’t care. Some people have skill, and care, and some have skills and don’t care. You want to be the person that everyone knows has skills and cares about their work.”\r\n\r\nThe Kinard’s level of care has prompted them to completely reconsider their store’s business model. The Jeweler’s Bench, which at one time had 10 showcases of pre-designed jewelry, now features only one showcase and an ‘open-air’ jewelry workshop, where they repair and design pieces for their clients.\r\n\r\n“When we had the 10 big showcases, people would come in saying, ‘I want a ruby ring,’ ” said Pat, “We’d have 24 ruby rings, and they wouldn’t see one they liked. They’d say, ‘I like that stone, but in this metal, with these diamonds around it,’ and I’d say, ‘Hey, I can do that.’ ”\r\n\r\nPat’s can-do attitude prompted the Kinards to dive into the world of custom-jewelry making. Using a program called Counter Sketch Studio, the Kinards can not only help a customer design the piece of jewelry they have envisioned, but also let the customers themselves design the jewelry over the counter.\r\n\r\n“It’s like an ice cream store,” explains Pat, “When I was young, we had three flavors of ice cream: chocolate, vanilla and strawberry. Then Baskin Robbins came along, with 32 flavors, and that was mind-boggling. But now, Cold Stone Creamery can mix any ice cream flavors you want, and add in nuts and gummy bears, and serve it to you in a cone, cup, or whatever you want. We like to believe we’re like Cold Stone.”\r\n\r\nAside from the ability to help a customer create the jewelry of their dreams, The Jeweler’s Bench also boasts another unique element: Mrs. Gwen Kinard is two-thirds of the way through completing her gemology certification.\r\n\r\n“Each gem is it’s own course,” she said, “We just finished a diamond grading lab last year, and we’re getting ready to start the lab on colored stones as well.”\r\n\r\nLess than 5 percent of jewelers in the United States have finished their entire gemology certification, which puts Gwen Kinard in a very exclusive category.\r\n\r\nThe artistic design and craftsmanship that the Kinards pour into their business is evident in every aspect of their work. While they primarily work with jewelry, they admit that people bring them objects of all types to be repaired, and they do their best to please their customers.\r\n\r\n“We like to think that we answer the phone, and the first word out of our mouths will be yes,” said Pat Kinard, “Anything you need, as far as jewelry goes, we think we can do.”\r\n<div></div>', 'The Jeweler’s Bench: Husband-wife team operates custom jewelry store', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'the-jewelers-bench-husband-wife-team-operates-custom-jewelry-store', '', '', '2013-07-25 08:04:14', '2013-07-25 12:04:14', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=12232', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Coosa Elementary School has a well established reputation for excellence in education and as a result has been either at or over its student capacity almost from the first day its doors were opened in 1998.  This past school year Coosa added a unique aspect to its curriculum — leadership.\r\n\r\nWith the financial support of a Department of Defense grant Coosa Elementary School (40% of the school’s students have an active duty military parent) is completing their first full year of implementing a three-year school wide leadership program called <i>The Leader in Me</i>. The program is based on the late Dr. Stephen Covey’s book “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” and designed to “equip the student with the self-confidence and skills needed to thrive in the 21st century economy.”\r\n\r\nThe first elementary school to attempt integrating the principles espoused by Dr. Covey was the charter school A. B. Combs Elementary School in Raleigh, N.C., in 1999. The school had been advised to either improve or face being closed. As part of its efforts to improve, “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” was incorporated into the school as a part of its curriculum. As a result of this innovative approach to early education, in 2006 the school was selected as the top magnet school in the nation. From this experience came <i>The Leader in Me</i> process. It is based on the concept of teaching children, starting at kindergarten, good habits of leadership to include learning accountability, treating others with respect, solving problems creatively, listening to others and the benefits of team work. Coosa Elementary is the first school in Beaufort County to implement the program, the 12th school in South Carolina and one of approximately 1,100 schools internationally.\r\n\r\nIn an effort to demonstrate the results of the program, the Coosa Elementary School recently hosted a group of community representatives as part of a “Leadership Day”. The students conducted every portion of the two hour program, with the exception of a question and answer period handled by the principal and teachers. The confidence and general conduct of the children was impressive in every respect.\r\n\r\nThe following basic themes are promoted throughout every aspect of the school year:\r\n\r\n• Be proactive (You are in charge)\r\n\r\n• Begin with the end in mind (Have a plan)\r\n\r\n• Put first things first (Work first then play)\r\n\r\n• Think win/win (Strive for mutually beneficial solutions in your relationships)\r\n\r\n• Seek first to understand then to be understood (Listen before you talk)\r\n\r\n• Synergize (Working together as a team is better)\r\n\r\n• Sharpen the saw (Take care of your body by eating right, exercising and getting sleep).\r\n\r\nBased on the results of this first year, <i>The Leader in Me</i> program would appear to have the potential to impact, in a very positive way, the long-term conduct of children, teachers and parents. The teachers like it, the parents like it and the children are learning the traits necessary for success in the world in which they will live. Steps are being taken to reinforce the program in the middle and high school.\r\n\r\nThe use of this program in our school systems to better prepare our youth for the challenges they will face in life could be a real “game changer” and deserves the support of the community.\r\n<div></div>', 'Coosa Elementary School tries a new approach', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'coosa-elementary-school-tries-a-new-approach', '', '', '2018-07-12 11:03:33', '2018-07-12 15:03:33', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=12237', 0, 'post', '', 0),

In later years, Puccini adopted this “verismo” (realism) style to his three greatest works, “Butterfly,” “Tosca” and “Boheme.”\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_12250\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Arts-La-Traviata.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-12250\" alt=\"Soprano Natalie Dessay as Violetta, the “traviata.”\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Arts-La-Traviata-300x170.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"170\" /></a> Soprano Natalie Dessay as Violetta, the “traviata.”[/caption]\r\n\r\nWhen Verdi’s classic reached London in the 1850s, its huge success was such that “The London Times” wrote: “Once more frantic crowds struggled in the lobbies of the theatre; once more dresses were torn and hats crushed; once more a mania possessed the public.” For Wednesday’s HD performance, casual attire is recommended.\r\n\r\n<b>ACT I:</b> A home in Paris. Violetta, a courtesan, is entertaining guests, among them an admirer named Alfredo Germont. Although she is very ill, Violetta insists upon leading a hectic social life. During a dance, she is seized by a coughing fit and has to withdraw. Alfredo joins her and professes his love. Violetta gently discourages his affection, but gives him a camellia flower, telling him to return when it has faded. Alone, Violetta wonders if Alfredo is her true love, but then shrugs off such sentiment, resigning herself to the hollow pleasures of life as her only option.\r\n\r\nHighlights: <b>Prelude:</b> Two themes are revealed in this beautiful adagio movement. Alfredo sings <b>“Libiamo...” </b>(Drink ... and be filled with love’s delight). This is a rare moment of gaiety at the party. Alfredo makes a lively toast to life and love, and Violetta responds in kind. Violetta: <b>“Ah, fors’ e lui”</b> (Was this the man...), beginning a coloratura marvel as she engages in three distinctive emotional expressions; contemplating the mystery of love; the fear of deceiving herself; and finally a burst of high-flying agility, <b>“Sempre libera”</b> (Ever free...) as she confirms her life of carefree pleasure. It’s a beautifully challenging set-piece.\r\n\r\n<b>ACT II: Scene 1:</b> A country home near Paris. Violetta and Alfredo are now living together. When Alfredo learns that Violetta has sold her possessions to pay their debts, he leaves for Paris to raise the necessary money. Violetta receives an unexpected call from his father, Giorgio Germont, who urges her to end the relationship, which threatens his family’s reputation. Violetta is heartbroken, but finally agrees. Germont withdraws to a garden, and Violetta writes a note to Alfredo. Returning from Paris, Alfredo appears, only to have her bid him farewell and then promptly rush away. When a servant gives him her note, Alfredo is devastated. Germont enters and tries to console him, but Alfredo thinks that Violetta has betrayed him,and he rushes off to Paris — again.\r\n\r\n<b>ACT II, Scene 2:</b> The home of Violetta’s friend, Flora, in Paris. A party is in progress. Alfredo appears alone, and then Violetta enters escorted by Baron Douphol. The two men play cards and Alfredo wins. Violetta approaches Alfredo and begs him to avoid trouble. In response to his scorn, she falsely declares that she loves the Baron. Furious, Alfredo, in front of the guests, flings his winnings in her face. The Baron challenges him, and Germont enters in time to witness his son’s outburst and reproaches him.\r\n\r\nHighlights: Alfredo: <b>“De’miei bollenti spiriti” </b>(My youthful passion), a graceful lyrical aria. Next, Germont and Violetta in maybe the finest baritone/soprano duet in all of opera. Germont: <b>“Pura siccome un angelo” </b>(A pure angelic daughter); then Violetta: <b>“Ah! Dite alla giovine.”</b> (Tell your fair daughter…). First, he demands that she end her relationship with Alfredo; she responds that she will do so. Magnificently moving.\r\n\r\n<b>ACT III: </b>Violetta’s bedroom, a few months later. The doctor tells her maid, Annina, that her mistress is dying. Violetta reads a letter from Alfredo’s father, telling her that his son now knows of her sacrifice and is returning to ask her forgiveness. As the lovers are reunited, Germont arrives to give his blessing. But it’s too late, and Violetta dies in Alfredo’s arms.\r\n\r\nHighlights: The entire act! Beginning with the prelude, which is often considered Verdi’s best orchestral piece in his entire repertoire. Violetta: <b>“Teneste la promessa”</b> (You kept your promise...). She reads, not sings, Germont’s letter in an unusual example of theatrical sensitivity accompanied only by two violins. It’s a brief, yet extraordinary moment, leading directly to a nostalgic aria, <b>“Addio del passato” </b>(Farewell happy dreams).  She recalls her happy times with Alfredo, then implores God to forgive the wanton desires of a “traviata” — a fallen woman.\r\n\r\nAlfredo, Violetta: <b>“Parigi, o cara…” </b>(To Paris, dearest...). Five minutes of a pure and gentle duet, expressing their mutual love. Violetta: “Ah! Gran Dio!”: Almost defying death, she finds strength in her final moments, urging Alfredo to find happiness with another woman, <b>“Una pudica vergine...”</b> (Some day a pure maiden...). Then, to the soft accompaniment of the orchestra’s love-theme, she cries <b>“Oh gioia”</b> and falls lifeless into Alfredo’s arms.\r\n\r\n<i>“In La Traviata, Verdi has lifted Alexandre Dumas’s play “La Dame aux Camelias” into the realm of art,” according to Marcel Proust.</i>\r\n\r\nThe wonderful French coloratura soprano Natalie Dessay, having a confidently upper register, is perfectly cast as Violetta. She’s joined by tenor Matthew Polenzani (Alfredo) and baritone Dmitri Hvorostovsky as the elder Germont.\r\n\r\nAll tickets are $15; no reserved seating. Box office opens at the USCB Center for the Arts at noon; curtain time 1 p.m. on Wednesday, July 31.

It is often paired with “my dog will let my child do anything to her.” Do anything to her. Anything? Yikes! There is a huge gap between how humans and dogs perceive any situation. There is an even larger gap between what dogs perceive and what tiny children perceive as “anything”, the result often being ruined dogs and injured children.  Training a dog is not a guarantee of indefinite good behavior as long as children are allowed to carry out what is tantamount to dog abuse, though parents may not realize it when it is happening.\r\n\r\nNo child under school age should be left alone with a dog, any dog, your dog.  Even having big brother in the room is not sufficient supervision.  The person in charge needs to be able to control both the actions of the child and the dog.  If there is any doubt in the steadiness of either one, you’ll need an individual handler for both parties. Granted, this destroys one of America’s favorite images of kids and dogs, the dog as the perfect babysitter.  But it’s just not safe to put the dog in that position.\r\n\r\nThe mental capacity for empathy-awareness of hurting another creature doesn’t happen until a child is 5 to 7 years old.  Most children do not understand that certain actions can hurt a dog.  I have seen small children switch from dragging their stuffed monkey around by the arm to attempting to drag the family pet by the ear with the same enthusiasm.  Should a dog become convinced that tiny people could inflict pain or fear, damage has been done to that dog’s trust in children forevermore.  If the dog believes you will stand by and let this happen, or leave him at the mercy of the child without you being there, eventually the dog will have no choice but self-defense.\r\n\r\nBy the time the dog shows a reaction, the damage may have already been done. This is true of dogs raised from puppy hood with improperly supervised children. Parents do not realize what has happened in the dog’s mind by being so pleased that the puppy “would let the children do anything to her”. By the time a dog’s defense drives mature, and the dog is capable of doing something about the kids, the dog’s beliefs about kids are set.\r\n\r\nMy beagle (The Bea) is a case in point. Her formative months were spent as the not-very-well-cared-for puppy of the owner of a day care center.  To her last day, seventeen years later, Bea would cringe and slink away as fast as she could when a small child approached her. (I do too, but that’s another article.)Kids and dogs both benefit when properly managed. Research indicates that children growing up with well-cared-for dogs have mental and emotional advantages that extend throughout life.  On the other hand, an abused dog in the household is a warning sign that there may also be child or spousal abuse occurring. The First Strike program, sponsored by HSUS (Humane Society of the United States) speaks specifically to this issue.\r\n\r\nManaging a household with pre-school children and training a dog (especially a puppy) is complex. Families often wait until the children are of school age before adopting a family dog.  Another option is to adopt, raise and train a dog to positively perceive children before having the first child.  Another choice is adopt an adult dog that has proven to be great with kids. A trainer can help you make that determination.\r\n\r\nA parent watching a child and dog interact is at a disadvantage when the parent may not know which behaviors from the child are perceived as threats to the dog.  You should never allow a child to:\r\n\r\n1.    Pull the dogs’ ears or tail\r\n2.    Poke at eyes with fingers or anything else\r\n3.    Swing objects at the dog\r\n4.    Grab any part of the dog \r\n5.    Tug or otherwise compete with the dog for toys, food or other items\r\n6.    Suddenly get into a dog’s face\r\n7.    Disturb a dog that is sleeping or eating\r\n8.    Pet someone else’s dog before receiving permission from the owner\r\n9.    Pet or provoke a dog through a fence or one that is tethered\r\n10.    Approach the nest of a nursing mother with puppies\r\n11.    Run (or squeal) in the sight of a strange dog\r\n12.    Ride a dog like a horse, lie down on a dog, or otherwise put significant weight on the dog\r\n\r\nIt’s important not to blame kids for being kids or dogs for being dogs. We can, however, teach dogs and kids to enjoy each other’s company more by building an understanding of each other’s behavior.\r\n', 'Kids and Dogs: a Common Sense Approach', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'kids-and-dogs-a-common-sense-approach-3', '', '', '2013-07-31 20:33:24', '2013-08-01 00:33:24', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=12299', 0, 'post', '', 0),
(12301, 4, '2013-07-31 20:30:56', '2013-08-01 00:30:56', 'By Celia Strong\r\n\r\nSo, I hate to tell you this, but we’re not going to get to talk about just wine this week. For sure there’ll be some wine, a favorite of mind; but I have to tell you about an experience I had in the last couple of weeks, with wine, but with something more involved too. And, it’s the something more that is really important. In all honesty, I never thought this week’s topic would ever come up. Ever.  And, I did subject myself (and others, so you don’t have to believe just me) to a bit of research before bringing to you. But, if you’re willing to do the research (which involves drinking), I promise you will come out on the good end of things.\r\n   \r\nTo start the story.  I opened a bottle of a Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon one night. (Yes, the name will follow shortly). Not a new wine for me, or some of you. That first night I only had a couple of smaller size glasses, so half the bottle was left. On the sixth night after it was opened, I was able to get back to it and pour myself the third glass from that same bottle. OMG!  OMG!! OMG!!! \r\n \r\nAfter those six nights, and after the extra air got into the bottle with the pouring of the first two glasses, the wine became so much better. I immediately sent an email to the winery about how good the wine was and what a shame it is that we drink wines as soon as we buy them. And, then, as we are all prone to do as we drink, I started pondering how can we get wines to be this great everyday?  Buy them and save them for several years under strict conditions?  Sure, that’s one way. But who wants to plan their Friday night bottle weeks, months or years before? Can’t do that!  Plan on Monday what we’re going to feel like on Friday night and open the bottle ahead of time so it can develop in its bottle. Sure, a second option, but I can’t do that. And I suspect neither can you. And, who wants to even try? \r\n \r\nSo, I’m sipping my great wine thinking, and “flash,” I have an answer. What if you could do to the wine, on your time, on your schedule, what it did to itself, on its own, in the open bottle? For sure this makes sense and, still for sure, there must be some way to do it. And you know? There is. OMG!  OMG!!  OMG!!!\r\n\r\nLet’s back up for a quick moment and understand why wine can be helped to taste better by letting some air get at it. This can be called letting the wine “breathe” or “aerating” the wine. And, the mixing of the wine with air can be done several ways. The main purpose of the process, however it’s done, is to oxidize the wine. Oxidizing wine can take place in a sealed bottle as it ages. Despite the seal, and I guess we’re talking about cork seals, some air does seep into the bottle. That air mingles with the wine and bonds with molecules of the wine to change textures mostly and some of the flavors. As the wine sits in its unopened bottle, we say it is aging and maturing. Hence, the new textures and flavors are those of a more mature wine. And, as we look at these new aspects, we get to decide how we best like a particular wine to taste and feel in our mouths. (In the case of bottles with screwtop closures, this seepage of air into the bottle is basically impossible. That means, if we like a wine a bit more mature, we have to be able to help it age). The main characteristics of an aged wine, or an aerated one, are  smoother textures and more open flavors. In the case of red wines, it is mostly the tannins (the harsh, astringent texture on the back of your teeth) that bond with the oxygen and become smoother feeling. Then, that smoother feeling let’s your mouth better perceive the flavors. Some flavors even that were totally not noticeable in the un-aerated wine. Some white wines also benefit from breathing. Their acids bond with air molecules and the wines become smoother textured also. And more flavorful. \r\n\r\nThe are several techniques to mix air with our wine. One is to decant (pour the wine from its bottle into a second container), where the wine bonds with molecules of air as it poured into a decanter. This particular method also lets you leave any sediment in the wine behind in the bottle. (Sediment does settle out of wines, mostly reds, mostly heavier styles, as they sit and age in their bottles). I guess the drawbacks to decanting are you have to do the whole bottle, it involves more dishwashing after you finish and takes a bit of time. A second way to aerate, or breathe, a wine is in your glass. A much easier method, but also much less air gets incorporated into your wine. On the positive side for this method, each drinker can do as much aerating as they like. On the negative side, because you get less air this way, you can end up getting less wine than your fellow drinkers because you’re spending more time swirling your glass. I’m guessing no one wants less wine. Especially if you’re making it taste better on purpose. The latest way to aerate wine is with one of the wine toys that have become available for the last several years. These are actually called “aerators.” So clever.  They are used as a wine is poured. And, depending on style, can put used in the neck of the bottle or over each individual glass. Over each glass, allows each person do, or not do, their own. Already a positive. There are several brands and prices of this kind of aerator. Some more moderate in the amount of air they mix with the wine. Some with more gurgle noise as you pour.  (Don’t mistake the noise for an upset tummy. It’s similar.) And, some you have to hold onto the whole time you’re pouring…some that just rest on each glass as you pour.  \r\n\r\nThis individual, one glass at a time, seems to get the job done with the least effort, the quickest; and, each drinker can use it as they please. You can even taste a sip of the wine without air immediately after a second sip with air and fill your glass as you like it. \r\n\r\nSo, let’s see if I can get a new bottle to taste as good as if it had been “breathing” for six days.  My wine is Terra Valentine Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, at $22.99.  A good test also because Cabernet has so many tannins. This wine has been a personal favorite for a long time, so the first taste without aerating is fine. But, yes, the tannins are noticeable, and the flavors are a bit tight. I do taste dark fruits, though, blackberry, black cherry, cassis, and coffee grounds, a hint of herbal/medicinal something.  There are layers of flavors and textures, a good sign. My fellow tasters agreed - tannins, good flavors but tight. Second glass, same size and shape glass to be fair, with the wine poured through an aerator. Immediately, we notice the wine is smoother feeling. Actually, if I thought I could get away with it, I’d say it even smelled smoother. Much smoother in our mouths and way more flavors and stronger, more noticeable flavors. We all thought it was a better bottle. It was definitely much closer to the six day “breathed” bottle, without having to plan six days ahead. Thank goodness, drinking can still be spontaneous. More good news?  Our aerator was only $5.99. Yes, a cheap toy.  But cheap enough to try playing with and seeing what it does for any wine. Red or white. $10, $20, $30, however much. Whenever. And more good news? I think when you play, you get to drink. A breath of fresh air. OMG!

Organizers had to scramble to find a way to cook the 1,000 pounds of shrimp because there was a problem in the kitchen at their traditional location of Naval Hospital Beaufort. But with the help of volunteers and the community, they found a way at the last minute, and to the unsuspecting diners, the shrimp was as savory and plentiful as it is every year.\r\n\r\nThe Pirettes served rolls and also assisted families who had their hands full with kids and plates of food. A first-year Pirette came to the rescue of me and my husband and our stroller-riding toddler as she carried our cups of sweet tea all the way to our seats: It was a big help! \r\n\r\nThe Lunch Bunch thought that the amount of sausage we received was more than last year, and we welcomed the upgrade.

But the giant slices of juicy watermelon seem to symbolize summer and make for the ideal way to top off the meal.\r\n\r\nCongrats to Stacey Canaday and her crew for once again pulling off this giant undertaking of feeding the masses.\r\n\r\nOf course, a huge meal in Waterfront Park would not be complete without the accompaniment of live music. This year, the crowd was rocking to the upbeat tunes of the opening local band The Blue Dots, followed by the always entertaining Whistlers, an annual Water Festival tradition. \r\n\r\nLater in the night, the Eagles tribute band On the Border from Charlotte, N.C., performed.\r\n', 'Lunch Bunch savors Lowcountry Supper', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'lunch-bunch-savors-lowcountry-supper', '', '', '2013-07-31 21:19:59', '2013-08-01 01:19:59', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=12356', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Only a junior at Wando High School, Landing has published his first novel, “Tamechactee-Arrow Soul” and will be signing books Saturday, August 3rd from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at McIntosh Book Shoppe, located at 919 Bay Street.\r\n\r\nLanding began his writing career at the age of thirteen, announcing to his parents that he was starting his first novel.  From a very young age he loved books; his parents and older sister read to him, and when he was barely in [caption id=\"attachment_12372\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"150\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Arts-Joseph-Landings-Headshot.jpg\"><img src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Arts-Joseph-Landings-Headshot-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Joseph Landing\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-12372\" /></a> Joseph Landing[/caption]kindergarten, he was reading on his own. When Joseph learned to talk, it became apparent that he loved words and often used vocabulary that sounded precocious coming from a young child. His family soon realized that Joseph had a flair for the dramatic and a vivid imagination.\r\n\r\nWhen asked why he decided to write his first novel, Landing humbly explains, “I was a big reader throughout elementary and middle school, and I remember thinking, ‘If those authors can write stories like these, why can’t I?’  Originally I started writing the novel merely out of curiosity to see if I could do it.  Now that I think back on it, I realize that I was writing for a purpose.  I knew that the written word would last for a long time, so I started writing ‘Tamechactee-Arrow Soul.’”\r\n\r\nAnd Landing is very appreciative of his parents for allowing him to pursue his dream.\r\n\r\n“I’m very thankful towards both of my parents for all of their support; but there isn’t a doubt in my mind that without my mother, this book would have never gotten off the ground.  Mom also has been with me at book signings and has provided tons of emotional support.  I can’t thank her enough for all the hard work she has put in for me and this novel.  My Dad also helped in setting up my first news interview on television with Warren Peper, as well as researching to find a great book on self-publishing,” says 16-year-old Landing.\r\n\r\n“Tamechactee-Arrow Soul” is about a teenage boy in the mountains of North Carolina who wants to get out of the cycle of a dysfunctional home and school life. Finally successful in breaking free, he quickly discovers that destiny has a plan for him and greatness is an understatement. \r\n\r\nAn ancient legend passed down through a Native American tribe tells of one who will emerge as a great leader and even a savior, just in time before the world faces a major cataclysmic event. Taught to shoot a bow and arrow, the boy demonstrates incredible skill during his first lesson. Could he be the Tamechactee? Meanwhile, a sinister being over in Normandy, France, known only as ‘The Maker,’ has a plan to set off nuclear bombs throughout the world to bring humans into submission. Landing attended the Duke Young Writers’ Camp and has finished writing the sequel to his first novel, “Tamechactee – Battle for Humanity,” which should be released by Christmas.\r\n\r\nFor more information about Landing and his book, please visit www.tamechactee.com. \r\n', 'South Carolina teen publishes first novel', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'south-carolina-teen-publishes-first-novel', '', '', '2013-07-31 21:49:40', '2013-08-01 01:49:40', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=12371', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Artist, Charles Desaussure, died in the Charleston Veterans Hospital on July 16, 2013.  Charles had been an artist at the Red Piano Too Art Gallery for twenty years.\r\n\r\nThis year the gallery is dedicating the twentieth annual August Summer Show on August 3, 2013 to the memory of Charles Desaussure.  Charles attended every year.  He always took up residence on the front porch of the gallery setting up his paints, easels, and supplies.  Charles loved people, especially young people, he encouraged them to paint as they gathered around to watch him work.  He often supplied them materials so they could draw too.  He encouraged them by saying, ”Go where the spirit leads you.” \r\n\r\nBecky Kiester, gallery staff, recalls how Charles loved Charmaine Inabinett’s Pistachio Cake, which she sells on the porch during shows.  It is a gallery memory that Charmaine had to make Charles his own cake.  That way he could have some whenever he wanted and didn’t have to constantly send a child to get him another piece of cake.  While reflecting on Charles and his life we remembered his vintage navy blue Mercedes.  He loved that car!   As he would chill at the gallery he would often take time to give the car a wipe so it looked just as good going to Charleston as it did coming to St. Helena.\r\n\r\nCharles, an Air Force veteran, had an easy and open manner.  People immediately liked him and wanted to get to know him better.  He enjoyed “just chillin’ and meetin’ the folk” as he relaxed on the swing at the gallery.  Born in Yemassee, South Carolina, his family moved to President Street in Charleston, where he grew up. Early on Charles was interested in art, the world around him was rich in Gullah culture.  The urban influence was emerging in his work with paintings of Juke Joints, musicians, street vendors, sweetgrass gathering, and sweetgrass basket sewers chatting happily in the Charleston market.  \r\n\r\nAlmost every painting Charles created in the beginning had the old Cooper River Bridge in the background.  Once he told us that he played under the bridge as a boy, marbles, basketball, bike riding, skateboarding, and chasing the little girls with fiddler crabs.  In addition to work on canvas and paper, Charles was a skilled sign painter and muralist.  His signs and murals are on many buildings throughout the Lowcountry  and Washington DC.  He painted the signs on the Red Piano Too building.  “Ravenel Seafood” on US 17 in Ravenel, South Carolina boasts a mural by Charles.  Charles was working on a sign for a business on King Street in Charleston when he became ill, went to the hospital and died.\r\n\r\nCharles was very proud of the logo he designed for the US Naval Clinic in Charleston.  He received special recognition at the dedication.  More recently he was chosen to create the art for the 2013 Charleston Moja Festival held in Charleston.\r\n\r\nCharles’ art is in collections all over the world.  South Carolina artist, Jonathan Green owns work by Charles.  Rolling Stone guitarist, Keith Richards owns, WEST 59th STREET, a painting of a musician which captures the essence of the urban jazz scene. \r\n\r\nThis man, Charles Desaussure, was very dear to us as a friend and as a great talent in the world of the self-taught Southern artist.  He will be missed greatly.  He will be missed by his family, his friends, his collectors.  His extended family at the Red Piano Too will never forget him.\r\n\r\nThe Red Piano Too August Summer Show will be held on Saturday, August 3, 2013 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m..  The tribute is free and open to the public.  The gallery has created a display of works by Charles.  Please join us as we celebrate our friend and fellow artist.

Or a school where students learn to operate lasers on the moon or explore sea life on the bottom of the ocean floor? Or a school where students travel back in time to meet Beethoven, Davy Crockett or Alexander the Great?\r\n\r\nSoon such a school might exist in South Carolina if the proposed NOBLE Virtual School, based upon interactive 3D virtual world technology, is successful with its charter application. \r\n\r\nAs a charter public school, students in South Carolina would pay no tuition to attend the school and there would be no special requirement for admission. Like other virtual schools, students would study from home on their computer but there the similarity to other online educational programs ends.\r\n\r\nRather than “read the material and take the multiple-choice test,” students at NOBLE Virtual School will spend most of their time interacting with teachers and other students inside an interactive 3D virtual world. Students, as graphical characters called “avatars,” will have the ability to communicate with each other simultaneously and the capacity to build and manipulate 3D models of almost anything they can imagine. The virtual world platform will provide students the opportunity to work more collaboratively with each other and to learn concepts not easily understood from a textbook or lecture.\r\n\r\n“No longer is education bounded by limitations of time, space and resources,” explains Steve Mashburn, the future principal of the school. “If one can think it, one can do it in the NOBLE Virtual World – from reenactments of historical events to simulated science experiments to role-playing famous novels.”\r\n\r\nMashburn continues, “Instead of just studying math, students become engineers who use math to construct a suspended bridge. Instead of just studying science, they become hydrologists who use science to uncover the source of water pollution in a river. Instead of just studying art, they become graphic designers who use art to create effective advertising on outdoor billboards. Instructionally, the sky is the limit and we are very excited about bringing this type of educational innovation to the children of South Carolina.”\r\n\r\nIf approved by the South Carolina Public Charter School District in August, the school will open in the fall of 2014.

(12387, 4, '2013-07-31 21:36:29', '2013-08-01 01:36:29', 'By Carson Moore\r\n\r\nThis past year, South Carolina was ranked #2 in the nation in the number of homicides related to domestic violence. Catherine Stewart and the rest of the Citizens Opposed to Domestic Abuse (CODA) board have something to say about that. \r\n\r\nStewart moved to Beaufort in July 2011, and discovered the CODA board through the Parrish Church of St. Helena. “A lot of the people that join the board have had a personal experience with domestic violence,” she said, “I haven’t, myself, but I saw that this was a good organization, and an excellent cause.” The current CODA board consists of a varied group of people that includes a former school librarian, a gynecologist, an active-duty Marine, and Stewart herself, a marketing and advertising agent. \r\n\r\nAs the current Vice President of CODA’s board, Stewart works tirelessly to spread awareness among the people of Beaufort County—not only of the fact that domestic violence is incredibly frequent, but that help is readily available as well. \r\n\r\n“Domestic abuse is our nation’s dirty little secret,” said Stewart, “People generally think it’s an icky topic, and try to keep discussions away from it. “ For instance, The Vietnam War began in 1959, and ended in 1975. During that time, there were approximately 58,000 American soldiers that lost their lives in combat. Over that same time period, approximately 51,000 women lost their lives to domestic abuse at the hands of their partners, yet there are still tens thousands of instances of domestic abuse in the United States every year. \r\n\r\nCODA’s Beaufort chapter services four counties in South Carolina:  Beaufort, Colleton, Hampton and Jasper. In 2012, each of South Carolina’s 46 counties was ranked in domestic violence victimization rates per capita. The study named Colleton County as 6th in the state, Jasper County 13th, Beaufort County 21st and Hampton 43rd. \r\n\r\nIn 2009, Beaufort County alone had nearly 2,000 victims report incidents. “We’re best known in our own county,” said Stewart, “Because the shelter is located here, and many of our fundraisers occur here. However, we are trying very hard to expand our reach to really incorporate those counties that don’t feel the CODA presence as strongly.” \r\n\r\nTraditional physical abuse is not the only problem that CODA aims to tackle in South Carolina, however. “There are many different faces of abuse,” Stewart explained, “It’s not just a black eye, and it’s not just a broken bone.” Abusers often use isolation, financial control, and verbal abuse to manipulate the victim, and the dangers of abuse can affect outsiders as well. For example, Stewart recalled an incident that occurred 11 years ago in which two Beaufort police officers lost their lives when a woman called in a report of domestic violence. By the time the officers arrived on the scene, the abuser had armed himself with a firearm, and both police officers were killed. “It’s important to understand that domestic violence doesn’t only affect the people in the relationship,” Stewart explained, “Police officers and counselors—oftentimes there are, in fact, more people at risk.” \r\n\r\nBeaufort’s branch of CODA covers an area of approximately 2,500 square miles, and has staff members manning the hotline 24 hours a day. In the past year alone, they have answered 4,050 calls on the hotline, and provided 168 survivors and their children with shelter, for 4,833 total nights. CODA’s shelter is a spacious, six-bedroom house that can hold up to 24 residents at a time. It features six bedrooms, a children’s playroom, and an overwhelming sense of safety and security for survivors. \r\n\r\n“Clients are at the greatest risk when they leave. When they finally make that hard decision to pack up the kids and flee, that’s when the abuser is most likely to come after them. So we try to give the survivors the greatest sense of safety that we can, and encourage building positive attitudes again.”\r\n\r\nCODA also offers what they call ‘outpatient services’. “These are the services we offer outside the shelter,” explained Stewart, “They are free of charge, and possibly the most important part of our organization.” These services include lawyers and counselors that work with the staff to assist survivors with court appointments.  \r\n\r\nCODA’s counselors teach women to learn the early signs of abusive behavior, and encourage them to develop healthy mentalities in regards to their situation. \r\n\r\nCurrently, CODA is trying to attract more local interest for board membership. “We really would like to get more men interested in board positions,” said Stewart, “We’re always making a pitch for interested community members to reach out to us and get involved.” The board holds ten monthly meetings throughout the year, as well as a meeting in January that is open to the public. These meetings typically feature one of CODA’s clients, stepping up to speak about her personal experiences with the group. “It’s definitely an experience that most people don’t forget,” said Stewart, “It helps people really see the different faces of abuse.” \r\n\r\nTo contact CODA, please visit their website: http://www.codalowcountry.org or call their 24-hour hotline at 843-770-1070 or 800-868-CODA.

But this time around, the Harrelson’s are taking Saturdays off.\r\n\r\n“We have grandkids now, and we want to enjoy the family,” \r\nsmiles Marlene.\r\n\r\nFair enough.

A quick fix is exactly that: it is not curing the dis-ease and it is not helping your Best Friend.\r\n\r\nEvery maze is different. Each dog and each dog’s living arrangements are different so what may work for your neighbor’s itchy dog, may not work for yours.  Rooting out the causes of your pet’s chronic discomfort requires you play detective, looking for clues and asking questions.  Keeping a dog diary for a month can help. (“Oct 10—cleaned carpets. Oct 13—Buster chewing his feet.”)\r\n\r\nPathways may defy logic. When walking a labyrinth, you may have to turn left to ultimately go to the right. It is the same when trying to find help for your dog’s problem.\r\n\r\nYou may have to try myriad methods and medicines that don’t make sense at the moment to get on the pathway to ultimate healing.  For instance, I have seen localized skin lesions respond favorably and rapidly to chiropractic.  Buster jumped off the couch onto the wood floor and lost his footing, pushing a vertebra out of alignment.  The irritation to the associated nerve ending sends a buzzy sensation to Buster’s shoulder. It feels itchy to him and so he scratches and bites, creating a hairless, damp, soon-to-be-infected wound. Not an allergy at all!\r\n\r\nDon’t go in circles. While you may occasionally need to retrace some of your steps in your therapeutic labyrinth, don’t continue to go round and round, especially if the results are the same.  (I believe Einstein had something cryptic to say about this kind of behavior.)  If your dog is on the third course of the same antibiotic and the third course of prednisone with no positive, long-lasting results, then perhaps it is time to take a different pathway in the maze.  Try a homeopathic course or acupuncture to calm your dog’s overactive chi.  Consider a nutritional causality--has Barney been eating the same orange-bag kibble for the last eight years?  Consider environmental causalities—does Buster hang out in the garage when Grandma goes out for a smoke?  Does Buster’s blanket smell springtime fresh because it is tumble-dried with a dryer sheet?\r\n\r\nDon’t panic. As you negotiate a therapeutic pathway, it may seem to be taking you deeper and deeper into the maze, but it may also be leading you to the way out. It may seem to be taking too long, it may seem that there’s no escape. Corn mazes—endless curving, turning pathways cut into full-grown corn fields that people pay to navigate for fun—feature Panic Flags on poles that can be seen above the top of the corn. At the panic flag zone you have a chance to re-group, maybe have a snack, talk to others about their experiences and then choose your course with a clear head.  Same with a\r\ntherapeutic trail.\r\n\r\nLook for and listen to subtle clues.  Your dog is your best communicator.  If you’ve changed his food (again) and he won’t eat, listen to him. It’s not that he doesn’t “like” it (it’s a dog, they “like” most things), more credibly it’s that he knows it’s going to make him feel worse and he’s trying to tell you the only way he knows how.  If your dog with the chronic green eye goobers sneezes when you spray on your favorite cologne, pay attention.\r\n\r\nWe need to approach allergies with an understanding that whatever treatment protocol we choose is going to require time, effort and discipline.  We may never be able to come up with a positive outcome using a linear-logical approach.

(12428, 4, '2013-08-07 20:44:13', '2013-08-08 00:44:13', '<strong>By Tracie Korol</strong>\r\n\r\n“My child is good with dogs.”  At a recent function two beverages were offered for refreshment: one was sweet tea (no, thanks) and the other, a “lite” beverage in a color not normally seen in nature, an orange so intense it almost glowed in the dark.  I’ll guess the flavor was “orange”.  These days I avoid foods created by scientists but there was a time when I appreciated Kool-Aid, Jello and Strawberry Quik. Even then I knew that none of them tasted anything like what they were labeled but I didn’t care because I was only 8 years old.\r\n\r\nArtificial flavors are used in foods that have been so processed they have no naturally occurring flavors left.  Scientists create imitations of these natural flavors in a lab using hundreds of synthetic chemicals, and those are added back into the food.  It is a much cheaper way for manufacturers to give a product the taste of what they are trying to sell you, without giving you the actual food that you might assume is in the product. As you might expect, this happens to pet food, too.\r\n\r\nTo meet nutritional requirements, pet food manufacturers blend animal fats and meals with soy, wheat and corn and then add synthetic supplements. This yields a cheap, filling pellet that no one wants to eat. Cats and dogs are not filler eaters by choice so to find ways to entice them to eat enough for it to be nutritionally sufficient is a challenge. Man-made flavors are added to increase palatability. Flavors like Cadavernine and Putrescence tend to grab a dog’s attention. I’m not making that up.\r\nManufacturers are not required to disclose exactly what chemicals are in these artificial flavors, as these are considered “trade secrets”, as long as the ingredient is “generally regarded as safe”.  So, even though there might be 100 different chemical ingredients, all they have to list is “artificial flavors”.  Many chemicals used in artificial flavors are derived from petroleum, and many of the chemicals used are volatile.  They have been shown to have an adverse effect on RNA, the thyroid, and enzymes.\r\n\r\nAnother problem with artificial flavors is that because the specific ingredients are not required to be listed, a dog with a food intolerance could unknowingly consume something that could cause a bad reaction.  How many itchy dogs to you know? In an effort to solve the itch problem, vets and owners will explore novelty protein sources (like rabbit and ostrich) or look to the external pollens and funguses endemic to this area. The truly conscious will consider the dyes in a kibble as causation and opt for brown pellets only, but how many even consider the “natural” beef flavor?\r\n\r\nThe other problem that arises is that certain dogs will become “picky eaters” that will not eat anything but the canned mystery glop with the cute doggie photo on the label.  The mere process of production of these canned foods is simply meat by-products broken down by use of water.  The amino acids (building blocks of protein) that remain in the meat hydrolysate (liquid meat) are magnified in taste by added phosphate salts and synthetic “natural” flavors. This magnified taste of protein—though chemically achieved—is what keeps pets addicted to a cheap pet food that no one wants to eat. Why eat real meat when you can eat uber meat?\r\n\r\nAFB International (the global science and technology leader in pet food palatability) states that for a dog the sense of smell is what pet food manufacturers are selling to. “The takeaway lesson is that if the palatant smells appealing, the dog will dive in with instant and obvious zeal, and the owner will assume the food is a hit.  When in reality it might have only smelled like a hit.”  In other words, the dog food need only smell like meat to the dog. When the meat aroma is completely, chemically artificial, you have a problem.\r\n\r\nThe billion dollar industry that creates flavors and smells for human and pet foods is a cutting-edge science designed to convince us—and our pets—to eat what’s in front of us, whatever it may be.  “Natural” flavorings are symbolic of the massive decline in food quality, public and animal health. Processed foods, and that includes processed pet foods, have become confused with natural foods and, consequently, more and more of us are disconnected from what is really real.

I think we have all, finally, realized that a new wine every week can keep us moving forward. A new wine can make us feel like we’re keeping ourselves younger because we keep learning; it can help make us more interesting - partly because we have something new to talk about and partly because we’re drinking. And, a new wine can be fun and rewarding for each of us personally. If we didn’t like wines we wouldn’t be who we are today anyhow. So, here’s hoping we all like our new wine for this week.\r\n\r\nIf you’ve looked at the picture of this week’s wine label, you can see it has a pretty interesting name. “Blue plate.”  So, let’s digress for a second and look at this name. “Blue plate” is a restaurant (or more correctly, a diner) nickname for a special, lower priced meal, very common during the 1920’s through the 1950’s.  Traditionally, this special included a meat and three vegetables. Sometimes, the dishes that these specials were served on were actually divided into sections for the different items. The origins of the phrase “blue plate” is not really clear, but some of the guesses are really fun. One is that during the Depression, one manufacturer made plates (platters or trays was more like it) with divided sections for different foods, kind of like some frozen dinner trays are now. These divided plates only came in the color blue. Another possibility is that there were inexpensive divided plates made with a “blue willow” pattern, copies of Spode and Wedgewood.\r\n\r\nOctober 22, 1892 is the date of the first known use of the term “blue plate” on a menu.  In the late 1920’s, the phrase became much more commonly used. An advertisement in “The New York Times,” May 27, 1926, listed “Blue Plate Specials,” and more records of the phrase followed. In Hollywood, in 1940, every time Spencer Tracy went into the commissary for lunch at Metro Studios, all the executives would look up from their blue plate specials. Or so claimed a Hollywood gossip columnist. (It is truly amazing how many records of how many tidbits of history are recorded.) Just so we don’t think all was rosy with blue plate specials, there were absolutely no substitutions. You got what you got. A glass of wine, or beer, was never included with a blue plate special. Maybe, as a bit of revolt against no substitutions, we like to keep looking for new wines?\r\n\r\nAnd on to our wine for this week. It’s a Chenin Blanc from California. We don’t do much with this variety. Partly because over time there have been more than a few slightly sweeter-style ones made in California. Washington state does make many, really good, drier-style Chenin wines, but our preconceived ideas of this grape from the few California versions is a hurdle. In France, the wines from Vouvray, a town in the Loire Valley, are fairly well known and liked, but not everyone realizes that they are made from Chenin Blanc. South Africa also makes some wonderful wines from Chenin Blanc, though they are often called “Steen.”  More confusion.\r\n\r\nBut, let’s look at Chenin Blanc. This is a high acidity white grape. Which means it can be used to make dry, semi-dry, dessert and sparkling wines. The vine is naturally vigorous so it can easily grow a lot of grapes that end up as bland, neutral wines. Controlling the growth of the vines, how many grapes per vine, can result in well balanced, rich and complex wines. Chenin Blanc originated in the Anjou area of the Loire Valley sometime in the ninth century. It spread from there, through the valley, to the Rhône Valley, to South Africa and on. Including to the United States. DNA research suggests that Chenin Blanc may be a parent of Sauvignon Blanc. (And we know Sauvignon Blanc is a parent of Cabernet Sauvignon. Yikes.) In addition to controlling the vine’s growth of this variety, climate is important too. Chenin Blanc tends to bud early and ripen late. That means that more warm climates are better for it. The climate, and actually the weather of each vintage, plays a large part in determining what is the best style Chenin wine to be made each year.\r\n\r\nIn California, Chenin Blanc has gone from having more acreage of vines than France during the 1980’s, to a mere thirteen thousand acres in 2006. When there was so much of it, and it was popular to grow as many grapes as possible, Chenin was viewed as a workhorse variety and used for blending in bulk jug wines. Its natural acidity and varying degrees of sweetness made it a perfect partner to Chardonnay and Colombard. Then, close to the beginning of the twenty-first century, there was a move toward better Chenin Blanc - vines, grapes and wines. Producers in the Sacramento Valley were part of this trend. In the Clarksburg AVA. And, we are now one step close to our wine!\r\n\r\nThe Clarksburg AVA was established in 1984, part of three counties in the Sacramento Valley, Sacramento, Solano and Yolo. It is just under sixty-five thousand acres with dense clay and loam soils and foggy weather with cool breezes from the San Francisco Bay. One of the best known wineries located in the Clarksburg AVA is Bogle, but ninety of the grapes grown in the AVA are transported out of the area for crushing and fermenting. Very few wines actually come with thenClarksburg AVA on them. But, our “blue plate” 2011 Chenin Blanc does!\r\n\r\nThis wine, our wine, comes from the Wilson Vineyard where the grapes are sustainably farmed. They were harvested in the early morning of September 7, 2011. Then they were delivered to the winery and pressed into the tank by mid-morning, so that the grapes were never exposed to the hot afternoon sun. The fruit aromas of the wine were maintained by this cool treatment. After pressing, the grapes were allowed to cold-settle for three days, and then racked into a stainless steel tank for a long, very cold fermentation to totally dry. There was no malo-lactic fermentation, so the wine’s natural acidity is still crisp. This acid balances and supports the rich fruitiness of the wine. And no oak. The final wine is ninety-three percent Chenin Blanc and seven percent Sauvignon Blanc.  (Kids always find their way home to Mom or Dad, don’t they?) In our glass, we get intense tropical aromas of passion fruit and plantain.\r\n\r\nThe textures are full, even voluptuous, with peach, apricot and cantaloupe flavors. And the finish is lemon minerality. My favorite part.  “Wine Enthusiast,” in November, 2012, ranked this 2011 “blue plate” Chenin Blanc number twenty-eight in its top one hundred Best Buys list. And Best Buys means not expensive. So, for $10.99, we can all love this wine. As an aperitif and with all kinds of seafood, salads,  cheeses, sushi, luncheons, back porches, hot afternoons and evenings. It really brings a new meaning to “Blue Plate Special.” And you don’t have to have it in a divided plate. Or a blue glass. But it is special. So, here’s to learning to like Chenin Blanc.

All the burgers were served with a side of Fat Patties’ tasty hand cut rosemary and sea salt fries.\r\n\r\nFor dessert, we had to sample some of the more than 15 flavors of homemade ice cream. With unique choices such as Fruit Loops, Bailey’s Caramel or Honey Peanut Butter, it was hard to decide but we tried two new flavors: Mango Strawberry Cheesecake — with yummy chunks of cheesecake crust — and Chocolate Covered\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_12438\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"150\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Milkshake-Burnt-marshmellow.jpg\"><img class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-12438\" alt=\"Burnt marshmellow milkshake\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Milkshake-Burnt-marshmellow-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" /></a> Burnt marshmellow milkshake[/caption]\r\n\r\nBanana Split made with bananas, cherries, and pieces of dark chocolate.

In quiet self-sufficiency the Gullahs of South Carolina and the Geechees of Georgia lived off the water and the land on isolated barrier sea islands with their own unique language, lifestyle and culture. It was a life in a simpler time with pristine saltwater for fishing, crabbing and gathering oysters and clams; virgin maritime forests; sand roads and wild game.\r\n\r\nIn many ways the Gullahs of South Carolina and the Geechees of Georgia are part of the modern world but in other ways they are trying to hold steadfastly to the way of life of their African ancestors and passing on their culture and traditions from one generation to another. However, today they face a crisis as the demand for their land and marsh encroaches upon home and farm and threatens their way of life. And, if their culture dies, a significant part of the culture of the low country of South Carolina and Georgia will be lost along with African Americans’ purest link to their past.\r\n\r\nThis book contains an abundance of historical information about the Gullahs of South Carolina and the Geechees of Georgia and will inspire others to keep their story alive for future generations. It also contains extensive examples of their unique language, superstitions, folklore, and customs and traditions. There is also a section on low country cooking with recipes and a section on Gullah cooking related terms. The book is illustrated with original Gullah and Geechee art by the author.

Few of us know where clouds come from, or what they need to form beyond the simplest of explanations, yet many of us feel as Emily Dickinson when she penned this line: “I have never spoken with God nor visited heaven, yet certain am I of the spot, as if the chart were given.”\r\n\r\nWe all know that to look up is to touch the grandeur of God’s finger trailing the sky. Yet most of us miss not only His hand-writing on the wall, but also His penmanship across the sky, especially at night.\r\n\r\nIn the evenings when my sons were young, we would on occasion, make a quick stop at Dairy Queen, and then we were off to The Sands in Port Royal. We would toss a few shells in the water and then charge down the first stretch of boardwalk. But the further we moved from the lights that denoted human time, to the infinity of starlight,\r\nwe lingered.\r\n\r\nRipples of moonlight or a sudden splash caught and held our attention. At the apex of the concrete conduit stands a five story tower. Giggles and the reading of the leavings of the more bold of the graffiti artists slowed us as we ran the spiral stairs of the tower---till we reached the top. There we spread out, and gazed and guessed at\r\nthe clouds.\r\n\r\nGavin Pretor-Pinney, founder of the Cloud Appreciation Society as well as the co-founder of The Idler magazine is touted in his bio as a “long time advocate of the joy of time ill spent.” Gavin notes that while the English language generally leans towards clouds as a metaphor for gloom and doom, he is more a believer in the words of Greek playwright Aristophanes, “clouds are the patron goddesses of\r\nidle fellows.”\r\n\r\nGavin feels, that as “adults we are reluctant to allow ourselves the indulgence of allowing our imagination to drift along with the clouds.” I have to agree. We often take a moment, even if it’s a glance out of a car window, to catch a glimpse of a sunrise or sunset, but the open sky and time necessary to watch as clouds pass by, shaping and reshaping into our heart’s desire, is rarely realized.\r\n\r\nWith over half a century of life logged in, I have only a few distinct memories of time spent watching clouds go by. The business of life gets in the way of this simple extravagance. Barbara Holland in her book, Endangered Pleasures, In Defense of Naps, Bacon, Martinis, Profanity, and Other Indulgences, tells us that, “Gloom we shall always have with us, a rank and sturdy weed, but joy requires tending.”\r\n\r\nSo tend to your joy, and do a little cloud watching this week…while you may. “Life is suspended between two eternities—the time to use it is today,” Randall Guywehr.', 'If the Sky Falls We Shall Catch Larks', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'if-the-sky-falls-we-shall-catch-larks', '', '', '2013-08-07 21:06:30', '2013-08-08 01:06:30', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=12459', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Siegel, MD, FAAO</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong></strong><strong>What is a cataract?</strong>\r\nWe are born with a crystalline lens inside the eye located behind the pupil that helps the eye focus light onto the back of the eye.  A cataract is the clouding of the natural lens in the eye. When the natural lens is clouded, this can lead to decreased vision.\r\n\r\n<strong>What causes a cataract?</strong>\r\nMost commonly, this clouding occurs due to the normal aging process, usually after the age of 60. Other causes of cataracts include ocular diseases, medical problems (such as Diabetes Mellitus), trauma to the eye, the use of certain medications such as steroids and excessive UV radiation exposure.\r\n\r\n<strong>How do I know if I have a cataract?</strong>\r\nPeople with cataracts usually complain of blurred vision and sometimes experience difficulty reading or driving. Sometimes it may seem that you are looking through a cloudy window. Another common symptom of cataracts is increased glare. People with cataracts may notice significant glare around lights or oncoming headlights when they are driving which can make it harder to drive at night. Some people also notice that colors do not appear as vibrant or bright as they used to. If you have any of the above risk factors and are experiencing difficulty with your vision, you may have a cataract. Your eye physician can diagnose cataracts by performing a complete eye exam. Light passes through the normal lens properly to a focused point on the back of the eye. However, in the cloudy lens affected by cataract, light is bent in all different ways and prevents the light from focusing on the back of the eye. This causes blurred vision.\r\n\r\n<strong>How are cataracts treated?</strong>\r\nThere are no medications or drops that can help treat a cataract. Once cataracts affect your vision to the point where your activities of daily life are affected, they can be removed in order to improve vision. Many people believe that cataracts can be removed with laser surgery. This is not true, as they can only be removed by microscopic eye surgery in the operating room by your eye physician and surgeon. Lasers are beginning to be used to perform portions of cataract surgery such as the incisions to enter the eye, the opening of the lens (capsulotomy) and dividing the lens into fragments. The laser is not covered by any insurance and is still performed in an OR. However, a phacoemulsification (ultrasound) probe is still required to remove the cataract fragments, which is covered by insurance.\r\n\r\n<strong>What can I do to prevent the formation of cataracts?</strong>\r\nCataracts occur due to the natural aging process, but there are some steps you can take that may be helpful in delaying a cataract. First, if you are a smoker, quitting smoking may help delay the progression of a cataract. Also, protecting yourself from excessive exposure to UV light, by wearing sunglasses and a hat, may also help delay cataracts.\r\n\r\n<strong>How is cataract surgery performed?</strong>\r\nIf the cataract is found to be affecting your activities of daily living, the cataract can be removed by your eye physician and surgeon in the operating room. First, the eye that is undergoing surgery will be numbed, typically with topical anesthesia. You will usually be made to feel sleepy during the surgery, but will still be able to hear the surgeon and staff interacting with you. You will not need to worry about keeping your eye open during the procedure because the surgeon will do that for you. Then, a small incision is made into the front window of the eye (cornea) and the cloudy lens is removed through this incision using ultrasound power and suction. After the cloudy lens is removed, a clear acrylic or silicone lens is inserted in its place in order to properly focus light onto the back of the eye again. Cataract surgery is one of the most successful surgeries performed in the United States. It is uncomplicated and successful in 95% of patients who undergo the surgery.\r\n\r\n<strong>Are there different types of lens implants?</strong>\r\nYes, there are many different types and powers of lens implants. Your eye physician will determine the proper lens power to be implanted by taking measurements in the office before surgery. The standard lens implants are typically “monofocal” lenses, or lenses that focus the vision to a certain distance. In order to have clear near vision, reading glasses are still needed. There are other types of lens implants, such as “multifocal” or “accommodative” lenses, or lenses with more than one focus point. These lenses allow you to focus both near and far. Ask your eye physician for more information about multifocal lens implants.\r\n\r\n<strong>What happens after surgery?</strong>\r\nImmediately after surgery you will typically be monitored for about 30 minutes to an hour. You should have someone with you to drive you home. It is best that you rest for the remainder of the day after surgery. Your eye surgeon will have more specific instructions of what you should do after surgery.

Yesterday the Sheriff’s Office fielded several reports from citizens concerned over phone calls they received from subject(s) identifying themselves as Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office deputies. In these calls, the subject reportedly attempted to solicit money from the victims, threatening legal action if the victims refused to comply.\r\n\r\nVictims have reported similar encounters: the caller informs them that they owe a fine for failure to appear for jury duty. The victim is encouraged to provide credit card information to pay the fine, or risk being arrested. The fine amounts vary, as do the names of the deputy the caller claims to be.\r\n\r\nThis type of scam has been reported in recent months in jurisdictions throughout the country. The Federal Bureau of Investigations released warnings about this type of scam dating back as early as 2005. While the details may differ as the scam runs from area to area, the end result is the same: a victim is deceived into giving valuable and potentially harmful information to an unknown source.\r\n\r\nThe callers perpetrating these types of scams can be very persistent and intimidating. They may use legal/law enforcement jargon in combination with easily obtainable personal information about a victim to coerce them into believing they are speaking with an actual law enforcement officer. It is believed that these types of calls originate outside the local jurisdictions in which they occur, and quite possibly outside the country.\r\n\r\nWhile it is common for deputies to make contact with citizens by phone for a number of reasons, the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office does not solicit any financial information via phone. Satisfaction of any fines, debts, warrants, or other civil process will never require a citizen to release personal financial data by phone, e-mail or any other unsecured method of communication.\r\n\r\nAnyone receiving a call of this nature is encouraged refrain from completing any transaction and to contact the Sheriff’s Office immediately. If you have concerns that you may have an outstanding legal issue requiring some type of payment, you may verify this by contacting the appropriate offices of the Beaufort County Courthouse.\r\n\r\nFor more information about this scam, as well as protecting yourself from other forms of fraud, visit the FBI’s website: http://www.fbi.gov/scams-safety.', 'Sheriff’s Office warns of phone scam in Beaufort', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'sheriffs-office-warns-of-phone-scam-in-beaufort', '', '', '2013-08-07 21:12:14', '2013-08-08 01:12:14', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=12468', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Was she ever in for a surprise?!  Never having had classic Italian ice, Julie was delighted to get a taste of the fabulous flavors awaiting her at Sunset Slush of Raleigh.  After some research and a couple of visits with the owners in Ocean Isle Beach, she and Howard set off for the adventure of a lifetime.  Howard’s dream of owning his own business soon became a reality, and Julie’s doctors were happy to know she had given up ice cream in favor of a healthier treat with only 13grams of sugar per scoop, no fat, no gluten and no cream. Sunset Slush of Beaufort was born when their son and daughter-in-law, along with his brother, Doug and his new wife, Brenda, decided to invest to make it all a reality.\r\nJulie says, “We are thrilled to be in Beaufort permanently, and couldn’t be happier to know that our chances of seeing snow anytime soon are zero to none! Thirty years of frigid weather in Northern Indiana took a toll on my arthritic knees.”\r\n\r\nStop by and say hello to Julie and Howard or one of their employees and try the flavor of your choice to see if you like it before deciding which to purchase. Sunset Slush is a member of the Beaufort Chamber of Commerce, and they have a unique take on tipping.

Pearson will be the Beaufort Art Association’s featured artist for the month of August with her exhibit “Kaleidoscope.” A reception will be held at the BAA gallery, located at 913 Bay Street, on Friday, August 9, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.\r\n\r\nThe word “Kaleidoscope” is derived from the Greek kalos meaning “beautiful or beauty”, eidos meaning “that which is seen: form, shape” and sjopeo meaning “to look to, to examine.”  Hence Michael has titled her show Kaleidoscope, meaning the “observation of beautiful forms.”\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Art-Kaleidescope.jpeg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-12502\" alt=\"\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Art-Kaleidescope-209x300.jpeg\" width=\"209\" height=\"300\" /></a>Although Michael paints a wide variety of subject matter from portrait to large acrylic wall murals, she is most widely known for her transparent watercolor representational botanicals. Kaleidoscope will showcase these with some added surprises.\r\n\r\nMichael holds a degree in Fashion Illustration and has a background in commercial art and advertising. She fell in love with watercolor 35 years ago while stationed in Hawaii with Army career husband Bob. This began a “love affair” without end.\r\n\r\nMichael calls her favorite medium the most fun for an artist. She says “After more than three decades it still does wonderfully exciting and spontaneous things for me.” She has studied with many of the best National watercolorist and developed an extensive knowledge in Color Theory. She shares this knowledge in workshops throughout the Southeast. She has had over 40 solo exhibitions, owned her own gallery for 8 years, and has served as juror for both watercolor and mixed media shows.\r\n\r\nMichael also is a great believer in what she calls “giving back.” She is the past President of the Hawaii Watercolor Society, the Georgia Watercolor Society, and Beaufort Art Association as well as Regional Director for South Carolina Watermedia Society for 5 years.', 'Kaleidoscope at Beaufort Art Association', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'kaleidoscope-at-beaufort-art-association', '', '', '2013-08-07 21:38:26', '2013-08-08 01:38:26', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=12501', 0, 'post', '', 0);
