Perpall has brought together dozens of community-minded businesses and individuals to collaborate in support of this public event.\r\n\r\nWilliams said he first heard of the concept of “rails-to-trail’ more than 30 years ago. A few years later, he used such a trail on Cape Cod.\r\n\r\n“When I heard our own community would have a paved trail to enjoy, I knew I was going to commit my support — thus the Band Jam and BBQ,” said Williams.\r\n\r\nIn addition to music and food, come ready to bid on items ranging from outdoor recreational activities to overnight stays at local accommodations. These items will be auctioned off throughout the event and all proceeds benefit the Friends of the Spanish Moss Trail, the paved rails-to-trail greenway project in Northern Beaufort County.\r\n\r\nThe Spanish Moss Trail has a 10-Phase Master Plan, which when complete, will be a 14-mile long, 12-foot wide, paved trail dedicated to pedestrians and bicyclists. The first two phases are complete and open for public use connecting the heart of Beaufort to the Town of Port Royal (with parking at Depot Road, Broome Lane and Westvine Drive). Two more phases are underway with construction starting this spring — connecting 7 scenic miles between the Town of Port Royal and the Marine Corps Air Station.\r\n\r\nFor more information or to donate to Friends of the Spanish Moss Trail, visit www.spanishmosstrail.com or email info@spanishmosstrail.com.\r\n<div></div>', 'Band Jam & BBQ benefits Spanish Moss Trail', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'band-jam-bbq-benefits-spanish-moss-trail', '', '', '2014-03-27 12:00:48', '2014-03-27 16:00:48', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=15671', 0, 'post', '', 0),

The work of 75 other member artists will also be displayed.\r\n\r\nLinda Patalive is a renowned fabric painter who, after an initial interest in watercolor and oil painting, shifted her creative focus to art expressed on fabric. Initially experimenting with batiking on cotton she moved on to silk because of the rich and varied colors possible with that material. Linda achieves her unique and vibrant one-of-a-kind pieces through the use of many dyeing techniques that include batik, shibori, silk screening, silk painting, stamping and discharge, and the use of French dyes which require steaming in order to set the colors. In addition to scarves, Linda creates other portable art such as small silk purses, glasses cases and pocket-sized tissue holders. Her elegant, meticulously crafted decoupage boxes have become family heirlooms as they are passed on from mother to daughter.\r\n\r\nLinda has studied with nationally known fiber artists Susan Moyer and Yoshiko. She is a member of the Surface Design Association, Silk Painters International, and Fiber Artists of Beaufort. Her art is on display at Puff Mud Gallery in Bluffton, and the Beaufort Art Association Gallery in Beaufort.\r\n\r\nMary Ann Putzier is a watercolor and porcelain painter with extensive studio and teaching experience. Preferring the representational style, she wraps watercolor paper around stretcher  frames which allows her to lay down pigment in a relatively pure form without filters. This technique lends the appearance of luminosity to her three dimensional creations. She then seals the paper, giving a direct presentation without matting, glass or frames. Whether painting on watercolor paper or porcelain, Mary Ann’s brush strokes faithfully capture the scenic interplay of light and shadow or the playfulness and gaiety of children in her portraits, whereas, her lightness of touch lends vibrancy and beauty to her porcelain and watercolor designs.\r\n\r\nMary Ann holds a Master Degree in Art Education. She is a regular teacher in the Sun City Art Club and also teaches at the Society of Bluffton Artists Creative Art Center.

Patsy Cline” at USCB, singing as Patsy for tips at a Habitat for Humanity fundraiser, being an “auction item” at the Beaufort Memorial Hospital’s Valentine Ball, and teaching a couple of OLLI classes in full costume and character with a mixture of songs and stories from Patsy’s life. All of this has culminated in her brand-new original show, “A Date With Patsy Cline,” which will run April 4-6 at ARTworks.\r\n\r\nMaggy, who lives with her husband Joey in Habersham, said she “grew up loving Patsy’s songs. In fact, in ‘Always ... Patsy Cline,’ Louise Segar (who was played by director Gail Westerfield) said it best, upon hearing Patsy for the first time: ‘That sounds the way I’ve always wanted to sing.’ So it was serendipity that I was given the opportunity to portray Patsy in that show.”\r\n\r\nKnowing of her interest, friends began giving Maggy books about Patsy, and Maggy grew to admire her even more.  “Her short life was filled with hard work and heartache. She was incredibly tenacious. She was gutsy and brash and loyal to a fault, even turning down opportunities if it meant hurting someone in the process.”\r\n\r\n“A Date With Patsy Cline” features 20 of Patsy’s biggest hits and her life story, including both personal tidbits and the impact she made on country and pop music in the 20th century.\r\n\r\n“I will take you from the Shenandoah Hills of Virginia where Patsy was born during the Depression,” Maggy says, “to Carnegie Hall, where she performed at the height of her career.  There will be audience participation, lots of toe-tapping, and perhaps a few tears when you hear her most memorable hits,” Maggy promises.\r\n\r\n“Patsy was a trailblazer for women in country music as well as pop.  She was a solo artist at a time when men dominated the industry. Her determination and perseverance took her all the way to the top, and along the way she helped other female artists: Brenda Lee, Barbara Mandrell, Loretta Lynn, and Dottie West.”\r\n\r\nAfter one her OLLI classes, Maggy says, “a student told me afterwards that she was all set to ask me if I knew her friend, who had also competed on the Arthur Godfrey Talent Scouts as Patsy had in 1957.  But then she remembered, ‘This isn’t actually Patsy Cline. It’s an actress, Maggy Norden!’”\r\n\r\nYou, too, can feel as if you’re really on a date with The Cline on Friday, April 4 and Saturday, April 5 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, April 6 at 3 p.m. at ARTworks in Beaufort Town Center on Boundary Street.

Between kids, soccer, lacrosse, football and karate ...”\r\n\r\nSo there you have it.

I have to admit though, that it doesn’t take much for a second grader to feel that the stars are aligned like firecrackers in the night. That particular day stands out in memory, as I had been so pleased to find myself to be the only one in the small, rural, third-grade class of 20 students, in 1967, who could say that their parents were divorced.\r\n\r\nYet, upon recapping the day with my mother, I suddenly felt the converse. My mood turned dismal even. My mother soothed my uneasy feelings for having reveled for a moment in the family laundry as best she could, but it would be my father’s family that would find a way to turn the taint of divorce into a profound message about love, an ideal that I would carry into adulthood.\r\n\r\nTo wit, family reunions on my dad’s side of my family back in the 1970’s involved deviled eggs, horseshoes, playground equipment at the local park that undoubtedly wouldn’t meet any set of modern safety standards — and ex-wives.\r\n\r\nMy dad was one of four brothers. Three out of four ultimately divorced, some more than once. The slightly extraordinary thing was that the “ex-wives,” under the ideological umbrella of my grandparents, still came to the family reunions. They came with their new husbands and new step-children. One of my aunts was the family reunion treasurer for years after she was no longer officially a member of the family. My grandparents believed that once you were a part of the family, you were always a part of the family. They had pictures of all of the family, even the ex’s, proudly displayed in their homes as long as they lived.\r\n\r\nAbout the time my parents divorced, a study that followed 60 families for five, ten, even fifteen years began. Judith Wallerstein, who originated the study, wondered what the effects were to be in the long term for the children in my generation. It was commonly believed when I was child, even in academic circles, that after a year, or maybe even two or three years, families would heal and children would heal. Who hasn’t heard the homily, “time heals all wounds?”\r\n\r\nThe one thing Judith felt sure about, even at the outset of the study, was that the post-divorce child, who would one day create a family of their own, would be wholly different than the adult they might have been, “for better or worse, for richer or for poorer…”\r\n\r\nHer study, and subsequent studies, attempt to answer the question that each person involved in a divorce from the immediate family to the wider community of people that make up each family’s “tribe” have asked: What now?', 'Horseshoes and the Ex: Part I', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'horseshoes-and-the-ex-part-i', '', '', '2014-03-27 20:33:52', '2014-03-28 00:33:52', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=15710', 0, 'post', '', 0),

So you hurt the other person’s feelings? You’re the one who’s hurt, that is why you won’t forgive.

If you go by there you can look in the window and see the “show” — 40 happy, well cared for cats walking around the floor of the building waiting to be adopted.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_15722\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"193\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Profile-Jessica-Weiss-and-Patches-her-one-eyed-cat.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-15722\" alt=\"Jessica Weiss and Patches, her one-eyed cat.\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Profile-Jessica-Weiss-and-Patches-her-one-eyed-cat-193x300.jpg\" width=\"193\" height=\"300\" /></a> Jessica Weiss and Patches, her one-eyed cat.[/caption]\r\n\r\nSays Jess, “We have an open floor cat adoption facility. This means cages are only used for medical isolation. Our cats roam free, like being in a home, everything is there for them.”\r\n\r\nJess handles day-to-day operations of the Tabby House adoption center. This includes a myriad of jobs from administrative duties to managing the Facebook page with volunteer help; keeping in constant contact with the Beaufort County Animal Shelter and many vets; assessing new cats to be brought in for adoption; overseeing all medical care of cats in their care (under vet instruction); establishing healthy protocols for the cats; and a lot of networking with local businesses, animal care facilities and other rescue groups. Not to mention being in charge of fundraising, too.\r\n\r\nSays Jess, “No matter how long my days are, I go to bed happy and proud of the furry lives I helped that day. I know I can’t save them all but I can look back and be proud of the ones I did. This is the most satisfying, rewarding and emotional job I’ve ever had.”\r\n\r\nJessica has been taking care of special needs animals for the last few years through the Beaufort County Animal Shelter and with their help and assistance she’s fostered almost 200 since 2012, before Tabby House opened.  Many of these cats were injured or born with issues, feral, abused, or too young to survive on their own.  Says Jess, “My passion lies with cats and kittens that need extra assistance to get on with their lives. These include one-eyed cats (which I’ve had five), one no-eyed kitten who acts as if he can see, days old bottle fed, three-legged cats, cats in casts, ones with heart murmurs, cats that require subcutaneous fluids and medicine multiple times a day, post-op recovery, and feral kittens who just need the “hiss kissed out of them” to become wonderful companions.”\r\n\r\nJessica’s love of animals came early. She admits, “I can’t remember a time in my life when I didn’t have pets. My mother worked for a vet when I was in high school and I grew up with amazing animal stories. The things animals have endured and not only lived through but thrived afterwards has always been amazing to me. I’ve learned many things from animals in my life, they still teach me daily, and their unconditional love and desire to be loved makes my life worthwhile.”\r\n\r\nAs busy as she is with her animals, she also makes time to be a loving mother. She has four great children: Zach Weiss and Megen Charboneau, who both attend Lady’s Island Middle School, and her eldest, Gene Weiss, who is a Marine, and eldest daughter Ashley Charboneau is her right hand at Tabby House and will be heading into the Army.\r\n\r\nJess came to Beaufort originally with her first husband, who was in the military. After they were divorced, she met her new husband, George Weiss, through a mutual friend online.\r\n\r\nSays Jess, “After a year of communicating electronically, we finally met in person and haven’t been apart since. We just celebrated our seventh happy year of marriage.” George is an engineer under government contract at the air station.\r\n\r\nJessica loves Beaufort because of the history of the area and the big-hearted people here.\r\n\r\nSays Jess, “The history that permeates this area is amazing. There isn’t any place that doesn’t have a story, or two. And there are wonderful people here that will take the time to tell you everything you want to know, even where some of the skeletons are buried. Most recently I’ve been amazed by the community spirit and outpouring when someone is in need.”\r\n\r\nWhat’s her philosophy behind her work at Tabby House? “You get what you give,” she says. “This not only applies to the cats I work with but also to all the volunteers who make Tabby House work. I don’t like to be called the boss, I won’t ask anyone to do anything that I haven’t or won’t do myself. Listening to people and observing the cats and doing what is best for everyone is how I try to work.”\r\n\r\nShe adds, “I’m thankful for the existence of Tabby House, which would never have happened without so many wonderful people advocating and donating.  And the families that have opened their hearts and homes to the nearly 300 cats that have been adopted from here since Tabby House opened its doors 15 months ago, they are extremely important to us!”\r\n\r\nShe encourages everyone to visit the Tabby House Facebook page. “Pictures say so much more than words. You can see these on The Tabby House Facebook page. Every cat has their story and some are heartbreaking while still inspiring. The most impacting ones have been those that I lost but I know they had the best few months of their lives and I take comfort in knowing I did everything I could for them.”\r\n\r\nThe ongoing success of Tabby House is dependent totally on donations and volunteer help. Jess says, “Right now, Tabby House is looking for help with a couple of large projects that we are in serious need of completing. We need to raise more than $2,000 to have a washer and dryer hook up installed in our building (we already have the washer and dryer) and we need a 6x12 or 10x10 storage shed as we have no room to store extra supplies on site. We are open to suggestions from the community and ask that if anyone knows of local businesses that participate in community giveback programs or outreach, please let use know via Facebook messaging. It is only with the help and support of you that we can continue to find loving homes for these fabulous loving felines.”\r\n\r\nAs for the future, her dream is to create a feline “Safe Haven.”\r\n\r\nSays Jess, “I have this dream where unwanted feral cats can have a home and where cats with disabilities will be safe and spoiled, as well as a special building just for FIV/FIP positive cats to live out their natural lives. This will be a multi-layered facility and I’m already connecting with like-minded people on the eastern seaboard who want to do the same in their states. This won’t be any time soon, but it will happen. If you are interested in helping that dream grow and become a reality, please contact me.”\r\n\r\n<strong>ABOUT THE TABBY HOUSE</strong>\r\n\r\n<b>If you would like to visit and adopt a wonderful cat, Tabby House is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. At Tabby House they also sell T-shirts as well as artwork and crafts made by local artisans.

(15882, 4, '2014-04-10 07:57:27', '2014-04-10 11:57:27', '<b>By Tracie Korol</b>\r\n\r\nWhen the Blue Angels perform practiced maneuvers low over my house, I noticed that with each pass my visiting pack flattened to the ground, ears clamped tight to the head. The noise was painful to my ears and I understand the abstract of giant, shrieking flying things overhead: it had to bewilder conceptually and physically hurt my dog friends’ ears. We played inside until it quieted down but the noise was still in the uncomfortable range.\r\n\r\nHearing can be visualized as waves of energy traveling along molecules in the air, transformed into mechanical energy at the ear drum, then amplified by small bones and finally transformed into the electrical impulses in the auditory nerve — resulting in what the brain registers as hearing. Dogs have a much different range of hearing than ours, extending into a considerably higher frequency than we can hear.\r\n\r\nSound frequency, the number of sound wave cycles every second, is measured in Hertz (Hz). The higher the frequency, the more sound waves per second, the higher-pitched the sound. According to Monika Wegler’s book, “Dogs: How to Take Care of Them and Understand Them,” “Humans pick up an average of 20,000 acoustic vibrations per second (Hz), whereas a dog is able to perceive between 40,000 and 100,000 vibrations.” In short, dogs hear a whole lot better than we do.\r\n\r\nAll dog owners can report a similar story. At my house, even if my dogs were dead asleep, upside down and snoring at the other side of the house, no matter how quiet I attempted to be, creeping in stocking feet to the kitchen, opening a cupboard door with exaggerated care, I could always expect a trio of happy faces at my knees by the time my hand reached out for whatever snack I had in mind. What this means is, if you need to yell at your dog in order for him to pay attention, your relationship needs work. He can hear you just fine even when you whisper. Good dog handlers rarely raise their voices above normal conversational tone.\r\n\r\nHowever, dogs, like people, can lose hearing for a number of reasons: infections; trauma and loud noise; genetic susceptibility; neural damage, etc. The most common form of hearing loss is called “conductive” hearing loss and it is caused by blockage of the ear canal — from foreign bodies, infections, or an excessive build-up of ear wax (cerumen).\r\n\r\nExposure to loud noises can cause “sensory” hearing loss, and this loss becomes progressively worse as the exposure continues over time. Dogs that are subjected to constant loud music will gradually lose hearing, and the loss can be permanent. I feel for the dogs riding shotgun in the cars you can hear coming half a mile away. Quick impact, high-level noise such as gunshots also causes profound hearing loss. The Mississippi State College of Veterinary Medicine conducted a study in 2002 finding of all the gun dogs tested (40), all had marked hearing loss. “A partially deaf dog is not as effective as a hunter,” said Dr. Andrew Mackin, holder of the college’s Hugh Ward Chair in Veterinary Medicine and an associate professor in small animal internal medicine. They recommended that hunting dogs wear earplugs, much as the hunter does.\r\n\r\nThere are many drugs that can cause hearing loss, too. Aminogycoside antibiotics such as gentamycin and amikacin; loop diuretics such as furosimide (Lasix); several anti-cancer drugs and even high doses of aspirin can damage hearing.  Be sure to ask for side effects or make a point to read the package inserts before committing your dog to a course of medication. Diseases such as diabetes, kidney failure, and hypothyroidism may be associated with hearing loss, too.\r\n\r\nAs a dog ages, much like his human friends, his hearing diminishes. The first sign may be a hesitancy to obey commands or a reluctance to go into strange territory.  Old age hearing loss is usually a slow, progressive change and you may be able to slow it down somewhat with good nutrition, antioxidants and adding some herbal supplements to the diet.\r\n\r\nAn old dog may initially lose only the ability to hear certain frequencies — usually the upper ranges. Speaking to him in dulcet tones may be helpful. I’ve advised clients to use percussive sounds such as clapping that can be heard by fairly deaf dogs. A clap can draw a dog’s attention to hand signals. Realize, too, that hearing loss can create behavioral changes. You may notice something that looks like aggression. In reality, it may be your dog was unaware of your approach, became startled when touched, and instinctively reacted. Some old guys can be startled easily and may snap or bite when.\r\n\r\nThe last form of hearing loss is “neural” hearing loss, the least common form. It can be caused by head trauma, blood clots, ruptured blood vessels, or brain tumors.\r\n\r\nThe good news is that hearing aids have been developed for dogs but are pricey. Best to teach hand signals in basic puppy training or introduce hand signals for older dogs and use them with each oral command,  just in case.\r\n<div></div>', 'Ears to you', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'ears-to-you', '', '', '2014-04-10 07:57:27', '2014-04-10 11:57:27', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=15882', 0, 'post', '', 0),

The Lafayette Soiree, now in its 44th year, is the original and the best. You need to “stake your flag” in Beaufort’s social scene at this fabulous event. There are only a few more days left to buy your tickets to this lovely garden party at the peak of spring in the Lowcountry. Creative teams have been working for the past three months on what they hope will be the best soiree ever! The party will be held at the spectacular formal boxwood grounds of <b>Alison and Mark Guilloud’</b>s beautiful historic tabby home. Mark Guilloud, along with <b>Bryan and Melanie McCafree</b>, has done a great job building and decorating an 18th century Paris market street storefront that will serve a French-inspired menu from Beaufort’s top chefs from Breakwater, Saltus, Old Bull Tavern and Beaufort Bread Company. There will be oysters on the half shell, steak, and French macaroons, just to name a few of the delicious delicacies. Wonderful Champagne and French wine will be served in addition to two full bars, and don’t miss the great silent auction featuring trips and dinners, and Atlanta’s best show band performing live.\r\n\r\nMy co-chairs this year on the soiree planning committee include the lovely and super smart <b>Laura Dukes, Terry Sweeney</b> (who’s always up for a good party), and <b>Will Verity</b>. The fun <b>Paula Verity</b> has done a great job as chairperson. All my fellow co-chairs want to invite you to join the festivities. Parking is at the Baptist field on Prince Street, and carriages will take you to the soiree on Washington Street.

Their twins Asher Wyatt and Charlotte Rose were born 12 weeks early, each weighing less than 3 pounds. “No parent should have to experience the heart-wrenching journey that happens when a baby is born prematurely,” said Rebecca. “That’s why we’re honored to have this opportunity to help the March of Dimes continue their work so more parents can know the joys of a healthy baby.”\r\n\r\nAsher and Charlotte were delivered on October 18, 2012. Their scheduled due date was January 8, 2013. Asher weighed 2.9 pounds, and little Charlotte weighed just 2.4 pounds. The Jensens describe the next 73 days as the most frightening, sad, joyous and inspirational days of their lives. “The immediate days following their birth were the hardest, the days I care not to think about,” said Rebecca. “We were on our knees praying in our room at the Ronald McDonald house every day.”\r\n\r\nCharlotte and Asher were placed on life support immediately because of their underdeveloped lungs. Asher was taken off the following day, but Charlotte stayed on life support for 10 days with serious lung and heart complications. The family was told to prepare for the worst. After many interventions, Charlotte was finally taken off life support and started on supplemental oxygen. After 63 days in the NICU, Asher was finally able to come home. Ten days later, Charlotte was released, and it was now the complete family of four, finally together, at home.\r\n\r\n“To have both Nathan and I sitting on the couch, each holding a living, breathing baby was the most gratifying feeling after all we had just been through,“ remembers Rebecca.\r\n\r\nPremature birth touches half a million babies and their families every year in the United States, including nearly 9,000 babies in South Carolina each year. Babies born too soon struggle to survive and may have lifelong health consequences.\r\n\r\nBeaufort March for Babies will take place on April 12 at 9 a.m. at Naval Heritage Park. Funds raised for March for Babies help support community programs and vital research into the causes and preventions of premature birth. March for Babies is the March of Dimes’ largest fundraising event.\r\n\r\nThe Jensen family invites all of Beaufort, Jasper and Hampton counties to register for the event at marchforbabies.org or by calling 843-571-1776.

That makes a huge difference.”\r\n\r\nIn one incident this week, firefighters used the city’s Quick Response Squad to “knock back” a fire through a window, significantly reducing fire damage and the risk to occupants and firefighters, Negron said. Firefighters then used the pumper truck to fight back the fire inside and extinguish it.\r\n\r\n“Every fire is different so we have to respond according to the conditions. We’ve had some gusty winds which can make it difficult to contain a fire,” Negron said.\r\n\r\nSomething that has stayed the same is the statistics on the cause of residential fires. Kitchen fires, electrical fires and improper use of space heaters are always near the top of the list. Local fire investigators couldn’t rule out those causes for each of the three fires this week, Negron said.\r\n\r\nFires occurred:\r\n\r\n• Monday, March 24, on Washington Street. There was a fire in the laundry room and firefighters found combustibles stored too close to a gas water heater.\r\n\r\n• Tuesday, March 25, on Drayton Drive, firefighters responded to a stovetop fire.\r\n\r\n• Wednesday, March 27, a space heater placed too close to combustible materials sparked a fire at Battery Creek Road.\r\n\r\n“All three of these fires were unintentional, but preventable,” said Capt. John Robinson, training and education officer for the Beaufort-Port Royal Fire Department. “None of these structures had working smoke alarms — they were installed but weren’t working or had been disabled. That’s a huge concern. Smoke alarms are one of the best tools to save lives once a fire starts.”\r\n\r\nThe Beaufort-Port Royal Fire Department routinely offers fire safety education to help people protect their homes and businesses from fire. They offer free installation of battery-powered smoke alarms as well as fire extinguishers and smoke alarms specifically designed for the hearing impaired.\r\n\r\nFor more information contact the Beaufort-Port Royal Fire Department at 854-525-7055 or City-Fire@cityofbeaufort.org, or on Facebook.', 'Three fires in three days keep firefighters busy ', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'three-fires-in-three-days-keep-firefighters-busy', '', '', '2014-04-02 22:54:06', '2014-04-03 02:54:06', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=15763', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Rick Griffin, manager of the Downtown Marina, and the Beaufort City Council agreed to install all 16 transient boat moorings, which will be located at the outer edge of the field.\r\n\r\nIn addition, the work crews will install 14 long-term moorings, which already have been leased to area boaters, and 16 anchors for future use, Griffin said. Terms of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers grant require that the initial 16 moorings be for transient boats.\r\n\r\nBeaufort is using funding from a federal $100,000 Boat Infrastructure Grant (BIG) for the first 16 moorings matched with $31,715 of city resources and $33,408 from Griffin Enterprises for the first 16 transient moorings. Griffin’s marina management company is paying an additional $64,534 to expand the mooring field.\r\n\r\n“This is an exciting project that helps reconnect the city and our Waterfront Park with the people who use the Intracoastal Waterway and our local boaters,” Beaufort Mayor Billy Keyserling said.\r\n\r\nBased on plans approved by the city and Griffin, the mooring project will proceed as follows:\r\n\r\n• The outer row (closest to the channel) will be designated as Row T for transient vessels. All 16 complete moorings on that row will be installed.\r\n\r\n• The other rows (middle and closest to the marsh) will be designated as Rows A and B. The first seven moorings on each of these rows will be installed.\r\n\r\n• For the remaining nine spots on Row A and seven on Row B, only the anchors will be installed at this time.

Siegel, MD</b>\r\n\r\nIn 2020, the number of people in the United States with visual impairment — sight loss often caused by eye disease, trauma, or a congenital or degenerative condition that cannot be corrected with glasses or contact lenses — is projected to increase to at least four million. This is a 70 percent increase from 2000 and is due to the growing aging population and prevalence of age-related eye diseases.\r\n\r\nTo help determine ways to decrease the incidence of visual impairment, researchers at the University of Wisconsin examined the relationships between the incidence of visual impairment and three modifiable lifestyle behaviors: smoking, drinking alcohol and staying physically active. The research was conducted as part of the Beaver Dam Eye Study, a long-term population-based cohort study from 1988 to 2013 of nearly 5,000 adults aged 43 to 84 years.\r\n\r\nThe researchers found that regular physical activity and an alcoholic beverage every now and then is associated with a lower risk of visual impairment. The data showed that over 20 years, visual impairment developed in 5.4 percent of the population and varied based on lifestyle behaviors. For example, people who were physically active had a 58 percent decrease in the odds of developing visual impairment compared to people who were not physically active.\r\n\r\nThe researchers also found that people who drank alcohol occasionally (defined as those who have consumed alcohol in the past year, but reported fewer than one serving in an average week) had a 49 percent decrease in the odds of developing visual impairment compared to people who had consumed no alcohol in the past year.\r\n\r\nAs with most epidemiologic research, the researchers caution that a limitation to their study is that the findings may be due, in part, to unmeasured factors related to both lifestyle behaviors and development of visual impairment. The data does not prove that these lifestyle behaviors are directly responsible for increased risk. The researchers still believe the research shows good promise for indicating ways that people can lessen their risk of visual impairment through lifestyle changes.\r\n<div>\r\n\r\n<i style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Dr. Siegel is medical director of Sea Island Ophthalmology,</i> <b><i>board certified, American Board of Ophthalmology, www.seaislandophthalmology.com. 525-1500.</i></b>\r\n<div><b><i> </i></b></div>\r\n</div>', 'Exercise and lifestyle can affect visual impairment', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'exercise-and-lifestyle-can-affect-visual-impairment', '', '', '2014-04-02 22:58:28', '2014-04-03 02:58:28', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=15770', 0, 'post', '', 0),

How can I possibly think about finding time or money for following my passion?,” then read on.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_15773\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"150\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Anthony.jpg\"><img class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-15773\" alt=\"Dr. Anthony Mattis\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Anthony-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" /></a> Dr. Anthony Mattis[/caption]\r\n\r\nIf you are holding on to the limiting belief that passion is something you have to follow or find time for, then hold on for some great news — you already have it! You were born with it and it is inside you, just waiting to be revealed and activated. The definition of passion is simply “something that produces a strong enthusiasm or interest in you.”\r\n\r\nSo, what does that mean for you?\r\n\r\nAs a holistic chiropractor and Passion Test facilitator, I regularly read articles about the increase in pharmaceutical sales to treat anxiety and depression.  The Harris Interactive Study reports that 80 percent of working Americans are unfulfilled and dissatisfied with their jobs. No wonder more people are on antidepressants.\r\n\r\nUnfortunately, we are taught from a young age to get a good job with benefits. Many times our parents, teachers and other authorities in our life will unknowingly crush our dreams or dismiss the things we are most passionate about. The result is we grow up and forget about or are totally unaware of our gifts, talents and passions. Your time has come to remember and re-discover. Are you ready?\r\n\r\nDo you ever feel like you were put on this earth for a reason? Are you living that purpose?  Do you feel like your gifts and talents are not being recognized, valued, and utilized at your current job/life situation? What would your relationships at home and work look like if you were passionate about your life?\r\n\r\nSome of you may not have a clue of what brings you passion or even know where to start discovering it. Take out a piece of paper and just begin writing down your responses to the following questions. Respond from the heart rather than the head and have some fun with it.\r\n\r\nBegin by asking yourself what has the most meaning in your life or what brings you the greatest joy.  It could be anything from eating a spinach salad, to spending time with your children, to drifting down the river holding a fishing pole.\r\n\r\nNext, visualize the kind of environment or people you would choose to surround yourself with. What would you like your financial status, relationships, or health to feel like? Where would you like to travel? Just create your dream list without too much thought or judgments about why you can’t, shouldn’t, etc.\r\n\r\nNext, begin to use your imagination to create a vision of what your life would look like or feel like if you were waking up every day on purpose instead of in obligation. How do you think your family and friends would be affected if you were choosing to live your life full of passion? There is a very good chance that if you become the example, they will naturally follow.\r\n\r\nSo, doesn’t it make more sense to wake up every day to something you are passionate about or something that creates joy? Of course it does! People who are the happiest and most successful over the long haul are living their top five passions. They have discovered or rediscovered those gifts and talents and put them to work in their daily life.\r\n\r\nWhen you are clear about your passions, and only to the extent you are clear, will your life begin to transform into your purpose? Whenever you are faced with a choice, decision, or opportunity, always choose in favor of your passions!\r\n\r\n<i>To learn more about the Passion Test and Dr. Anthony Mattis’ classes, please visit www.ChoosingtheBestLife.com.</i>\r\n<div><i> </i></div>', 'Uncovering your hidden passion', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'uncovering-your-hidden-passion', '', '', '2014-04-02 23:00:17', '2014-04-03 03:00:17', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=15772', 0, 'post', '', 0),

They win my vote as one of Beaufort’s 2014 most captivatingly fun young couples.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_15776\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"200\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Profile-Melanie-and-Brian.png\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-15776\" alt=\"Melanie and Brian McCafree at the Kentucky Derby.\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Profile-Melanie-and-Brian-200x300.png\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" /></a> Melanie and Brian McCaffree at the Kentucky Derby.[/caption]\r\n\r\nKentucky native Melanie grew up on a horse farm outside of Louisville — the Thoroughbred Capital of the World. As Melanie says, “Horses and Bourbon run in my veins.”\r\n\r\nHer father was a renowned trainer and breeder of Tennessee Walking Horses and her grandfather was a legendary Louisville “horse whisperer” long before it became a popular term in today’s world.\r\n\r\nMelanie is a successful horse trainer and teacher here now in the Lowcountry having opened Short Stirrup Stables for Children just outside of Habersham in a beautiful historic barn.\r\n\r\nSays Melanie, “Horses are so healing for children and adults. There’s an old saying, ‘the outside of a horse is good for the inside of a man’. I can be having a terrible day that turns around with a quick nuzzle from my horse.”\r\n\r\nHer husband of eight years, Brian McCaffree, from a distinguished Montana family, also has a horse filled past, having grown up raised by cowboys on a ranch in Billings, Montana.\r\n\r\nMelanie says, “Brian grew  up ranching in Montana’s big sky country, with snowy winters and trout streams — a boy’s idea of heaven. He was fly fishing by the age 7 and was just as ‘hooked’ as the trout he caught.”\r\n\r\nBrian and his parents’ love of the ocean brought him to Spring Island from land-locked Montana, where he got a Captains license and started a charter fishing business called Holden On Charters (see all the big fish they catch on their Facebook page).\r\n\r\nMelanie teaches the children of the Lowcountry elite to ride horses for the first time; lessons are for beginner to intermediate. She says, “Safety, safety, safety is our motto! Both Marianne (her fellow teacher) and I are safety nuts when riding or being around horses.”\r\n\r\nThen she adds, “Secondly, it has to be fun! Recently, one of our students turned 10 and had a huge birthday party at the barn. Pony rides, games and lots of cake. Probably the best birthday party ever. All the kids were completely enthralled with not only the horses but the barn life itself.”\r\n\r\nThe party gave children who wouldn’t normally ride a chance to have a pony ride and build a confidence that was instant the minute they were in the saddle.\r\n\r\nIn describing her fellow teacher Marianne, Melanie said, “If ever I had a mentor it was Marianne Murphy. As luck would have it, Marianne has moved to Beaufort and is training children at Short Stirrup. If my family gave me ‘horse sense,’ Marianne gave me style.”\r\n\r\nMelanie, who used to run the equestrian program at Spring Island, met her future husband Brian there.\r\n\r\n“We met during a trail ride on mules, of all things. Brian, fresh from Montana, wore skin tight Wranglers and a tall black cowboy hat — something he would never be caught in now, which is a shame because it’s a smoking HOT look,” Melanie recalled with a smile. “In an attempt to impress me, he fell off his mule on his butt. That was it. I fell in love and we got married — that was eight happy years ago!”\r\n\r\nBrian now works for Gulfstream and loves it. He said, “It’s a great company and I’m proud to be a part of its growth.”\r\n\r\nIn his spare time, Brian’s still on the river, running fishing charters.\r\n\r\nMelanie and Brian also love Jack Russell Terriors. Even though early in their marriage Brian pronounced, “We are not small dog owners!,” he now adores them.\r\n\r\nAnd Melanie claims the dogs have given her a life mission saying, “Live life like a Jack Russell — fearless, intuitive, energetic, devoted, and above all comical!”\r\n\r\nWhen it comes to Beaufort, they said, “Beaufort has everything we love. The land is beautiful, the water is beautiful and the people are beautiful!”\r\n\r\nMelanie and Brian have also both worked hard this year on Historic Beaufort Foundation’s Lafayette Soiree to be held at Alison and Mark Guilloud’s beautiful home this Saturday, April 5. Melanie is head of the decorations committee and Brian helped Mark build the 18th century French village for the theme “April in Paris.”\r\n\r\nAdds Melanie, “Most recently, I’ve had the pleasure of working with an incredibly smart team for a great cause, The Lafayette Soirée for Historic Beaufort Foundation.”\r\n\r\nMelanie has done such a superb job as committee head this year  that she has been asked to be next year’s chairperson for the 45th annual Lafayette Soiree to be held at the spectacular Marsha Williams and Scott Sonic home in the historic Point neighborhood.  Something to look forward to!', 'Meet the McCaffrees', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'meet-the-mccafrees', '', '', '2014-04-03 13:27:02', '2014-04-03 17:27:02', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=15775', 0, 'post', '', 0),

(15783, 4, '2014-04-02 23:06:20', '2014-04-03 03:06:20', '<b>By Tracie Korol</b>\r\n\r\n“We just got a puppy this weekend!” is a sentence I hear more often than a non-dog person would. I wade cautiously into these exchanges curious to know if the new owner was overcome with spontaneous puppy desire, shelter guilt or had they actually planned for what could become a 16-year commitment. Unfortunately, many of these new dog ventures fail because people do not take adequate time at the very beginning to evaluate the desired dog or their own abilities to deal with it once it becomes a part of the family.\r\n\r\nPractically speaking, if you’re considering adding a puppy to the family, ask the question, “How much time do I have?’” If you bring a baby dog home on a whim, you will spend weeks, months or even years playing catch-up struggling to recover from mistakes made in the first few weeks. It may even grow into the problem of “how-do-we-get-rid-of” if the concerns become chronic. There are way too many of those poor pets at any shelter.\r\n\r\nFirst, when you get the itch for a puppy, resist. Instead, begin your search by visualizing the whole package of dogness: the ideal age, size, coat, breed or breed cross, energy level, attention span, ability to give and receive attention, sociability, portability, genetics and current AND down-the-road health status. With that vision in mind, visit shelters frequently without bringing a dog home. It will be a killer to walk past all those pleading eyes, but keep the vision of your perfect dog in mind each time you visit. Be flexible to a degree but stick with it because little deviations from your ideal can become huge problems in the long run.\r\n\r\nFor instance, you like to keep your house tidy and you finally have white furniture now that the kids are gone, your vision of the perfect dog is a medium-sized, shorthaired white dog that is content to stand around on a dropcloth. However, you fall in love with a shaggy black puppy that grows into a 70-pound kind-of-a-shepherd that spends most of its free time off-loading long hair and tracking in sand. In time, the relationship with the dog will suffer because your desire for a grime-free living room may confine the dog to the kitchen or, worse, the backyard.  DO NOT settle for a dog that doesn’t gladden your heart in every way and you won’t find yourself returning an older, less adoptable dog to the shelter when it doesn’t work out.\r\n\r\nWhile you are visiting shelters, prepare your house and your personal lifestyle for your little addition.  Purchase ALL the things you’ll need to make the transition easier before you bring the puppy home: get a crate,  make some good puppy food, get a good leash (not one of those retractable thingys), stock up on grooming equipment, toys, Nature’s Miracle, and lots of paper towels. Think about containment. Do you need a portable pen? (yes) Do you need to make a major household improvement by fencing the backyard?  (yes) Think long and hard about your commitment to time spent with the dog.  Are you committed to taking walks several times a day no matter what the weather or your social obligations?  (yes) Are you committed to constantly supervising your pup for the first weeks? (yes) Are you committed to paring down your environment to absolute basics to protect your puppy from the temptation of desirable objects? (yes)\r\n\r\nOccasionally, I have the pleasure of hosting puppies. Before a visit, I roll up the carpets, close off all but the assigned area, tie up any exposed cords, put plants out of danger-range, and have the paper towels and cleaner readily at hand. Yet, invariably, I still have to run down Master Pup when he speeds past with some kind of contraband in his mouth.  Even when “completely prepared,” these crafty little creatures have a knack for finding the forgotten and unknown ... and then eating it. I might have tended a few thousand puppies in my time, and trust me, they all find contraband.\r\n\r\nThese considerations are only the beginning of accepting responsibility for the life of another living creature. The way you prepare and care for your pup in the first few weeks will determine your success of a life-long relationship of companionship and love.  I think the Boy Scouts summed it up: Be Prepared.\r\n<div></div>', 'Off to a good start', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'off-to-a-good-start', '', '', '2014-04-02 23:06:20', '2014-04-03 03:06:20', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=15783', 0, 'post', '', 0),

(15792, 4, '2014-04-02 23:10:51', '2014-04-03 03:10:51', '<b>By Celia Strong</b>\r\n\r\nWhen almost anyone first comes in contact with this week’s wine, their reaction is almost always some confusion. With all the Italian food we cook, we have become well aware of and familiar with some of their great cheeses — Parmesan, obviously, but also Pecorino. But, and this is the fun part, Pecorino is also the name of a grape variety from Italy. So, off we go, on to another lesson that takes us to another new good wine.\r\n\r\nWe’re going to visit the Marche (that’s pronounced “mar-kay”) region of Italy. Marche, or Marches as it is also known, is located on the western Adriatic coast of Italy, right where the back of your knee would be if you think of the country as a boot. (A good Italian leather boot, of course.) The name for this region comes from the Latin for the plural name of “marches” — “marca.”  The rough translation into English means boundaries or borders of a district or province.\r\n\r\nThis area was colonized by the Romans in the third century BC, and invaded by the Goths when the Roman Empire fell. In the sixth century, the northern part of the region was under Byzantine rule and the southern part was under the powerful Lombard duchy of Spoleto. In the eighth century, in two steps, the region was donated to the Papacy by Pepin the Short, the first Carolingian king of the Franks, and then by his son, Charlemagne, in 774. The name Marche came in the tenth century when the region was named as the border of the Holy Roman Empire.\r\n\r\nPopes and emperors fought back and forth over control in the area, but between the 13th and 16th centuries, the popes gradually regained political rule.  Then, for a short 18 years, from 1797 to 1815, the French occupied Marche. And, then, the papacy took over again. For a time, Marche was part of the kingdom of Sardinia along with Tuscany and Umbria. Marche is now, and always really was, slightly separate from mainstream Italy. Fewer tourists, too.\r\n\r\nAlong the Adriatic coast, a thin strip of Marche is relatively flat, but the rest of the region is hilly and mountainous. Farming and agriculture are the main occupations of the residents of Marche. They specialize in olives, grapes and livestock. In addition, Marche produces ships, textile, chemicals, pottery, hand-made musical instruments, and they have four fishing ports on their coast. Their climate is temperate, with moderating breezes from the Adriatic.\r\n\r\nVines have been grown here since before the Romans, as the rolling hills are well suited to them. The wines produced in Marche are relatively simple compared to some other Italian regions. They have about 60,000 acres of vines and produce over 50 million gallons of wine each year. Only 20 percent of all this wine is DOC or DOCG level. Most of it is released as IGT or Vino di Tavola, both lesser levels in Italian wine laws. (Don’t forget: Lesser levels do not necessarily mean lesser wines. Remember the Super Tuscans.) They make about half whites and half reds, each from predominantly one variety — Montepuciano for the red and Verdicchio for the white. But, we have a wine from a much lesser known variety. Pecorino. Yes, that is the grape’s name. Not a cheese this time.\r\n\r\nPecorino is a white grape, probably native to Marche. It is believed to be a very old variety. Its name is probably related to the Italian word “pecora” for sheep. (Of course, the cheese also got its name from the same word. Pecorino is a hard cheese made from ewe’s milk and has four legal types: Pecorino Romano from Sardinia, Pecorino Sardo  also from Sardinia, Pecorino Toscano from Tuscany, and Pecorino Siciliano from Sicily. None from Marche. Humph!)\r\n\r\nPecorino, the grape, is early ripening and tends to produce low yields. Even without strict pruning it is also a healthy variety, with a natural resistance to mildews and grows well at slight elevations. These grapes are naturally high in sugar, which explains the ancient stories of the sheep grazing on the hillsides and eating them. They are also naturally high in acidity.\r\n\r\nIn 2000, a little more than 200 acres of Pecorino were planted in Marche. The first producer of Pecorino DOC wine, Offida DOC, was Guido Cocci Grifoni in the 1980’s. He was doing research on native grapes and tried to save heirloom varieties By researching old records, Grifoni found a tiny vineyard, about 3,200 feet above sea level, on the right bank of the Tronto River. This vineyard was owned by an 80-year-old man and had a few, struggling, old Pecorino vines. When he visited the site, in 1982, Grifoni took some cuttings and grafted them onto newer rootstocks. It wasn’t until the early 1990’s that these vines started to really produce. And he had enough to make and sell some of his first Pecorino wines. These were Vino di Tavola level wines. But, Grifoni campaigned for official recognition of his wine and received it in 2001 — DOC Offida.\r\n\r\nIn the various DOC wines of Marche, different percentages of Pecorino are allowed, mixed with Verdicchio and Chardonnay and Trebbiano. In the Offida DOC, our Pecorino must be up to at least 85 percent of the blend. The rest of these wines can be made from local, non-aromatic varieties.\r\n\r\nOur Velenosi Pecorino is 100 percent Pecorino; a true opportunity to learn this grape. For our wine, the grapes are fermented in stainless steel at controlled temperatures. And, then, the wine is aged for five months in stainless steel as well. It is straw yellow colored with hints of green. It has aromas of exotic fruits, citrus, jasmine flowers and even tropical notes of lime and bananas — similar flavors to a medium body dry wine, and very different from our usual range of flavors.\r\n\r\nBut, a quick look at traditional Marche region food and the doors open. There is a lot of seafood from the Adriatic, as well as poultry and chunks of pork, cream sauces, flavorful meat sauces, sausages, fennel, olives, and wide egg noodles such as lasagna and pappardelle, and, of course, cow and sheep cheeses. These all sound like a lot of what we love to eat anyhow, and our wine of the week pairs well with these foods. My thinking is our new Pecorino fits right in.\r\n\r\nThis wine is available now at Bill’s Liquor for only $15.49. Enjoy.\r\n<div></div>', 'Pecorino, isn’t that a cheese?', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'pecorino-isnt-that-a-cheese', '', '', '2014-04-02 23:10:51', '2014-04-03 03:10:51', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=15792', 0, 'post', '', 0),

We talked and ate and lost track of time, and before we knew it, all the chips were gone, the guacamole bowl was empty, and we were really full. Don’t make the same mistake we did: Enjoy the chips, but go slow and leave room for the delicious variety of entrees that range from burritos, enchiladas, fajitas, quesadillas, and many other specialty Mexican dishes.\r\n\r\nSo we waited a while before ordering our main meal, and Elizabeth chose the sopes from the appetizer menu. Sopes are bowls of corn-based dough topped with refried beans, lettuce, salsa, queso fresco and a slice of avocado. She chose chorizo as an additional topping, but they also offer chicken, steak or carnitas.\r\n\r\nNikki enjoyed her Quesadilla Fajita — a 10 inch flour tortilla stuffed with strips of steaks, grilled onions, tomatoes and bell peppers, and a side of rice and guacamole salad.\r\n\r\nThe menu is packed with so many enticing items, that I was torn about what to order. I finally decided to go with the same dish I had the last time I dined here — the Molcajete. This house special comes with carne asada, Mexican sausage, chicken, cactus, white cheese and cambray onions packed into a big stone bowl and topped with avocado slices.

When that school opens, the two middle schools will move to traditional 6-8 grade configurations and the two high schools will operate with traditional 9-12 configurations.\r\n\r\nEvans said that board committees would review the district’s policies on “grandfathering” students in specific school attendance zones. Also to be reviewed, Evans said, would be criteria for students to transfer out of their assigned attendance zones to attend magnet or “choice schools” such as Whale Branch Early College High School for its college credit program or Hilton Head Island High School for its International Baccalaureate program.\r\n\r\n<b>To see maps of all school attendance zones, visit www.beaufort.k12.sc.us.</b>\r\n<div><b> </b></div>', 'New school attendance zones approved', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'new-school-attendance-zones-approved', '', '', '2014-04-03 09:41:06', '2014-04-03 13:41:06', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=15810', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Their parts are played by Alan Lathan, Paul Capps, Dennis Wilkins, and Pastor Jim Wooten, respectively.  The musical numbers feature the Celebrate Life Choir and several soloists, supported by keyboards, guitar, and percussion.\r\n\r\nComedic relief is also a part of this presentation as our “Three Kings” — sung and played by Ted Barber, Larry Leming and Kiel Seley — drop in from the East for a visit.\r\n\r\nThe community is encouraged to include “Celebrate Life” as a part of the 2014 Lenten journey on Palm Sunday afternoon at 3 p.m. The Baptist Church of Beaufort is at 600 Charles Street.

It was also an HBO television special the first year of its run. The non-stop comedy lends unique perspective to a variety of female and male characters in situations that leave audiences breathless with laughter.\r\n\r\nNow featured in community theatres across the country, the play will be brought to Beaufort by Trustus Theatre actors Dewey Scott-Wiley and Elena Martinez-Vidal, who have been performing together for almost 20 years.\r\n\r\nTheir characters range from adolescence to midlife crisis to the golden years, with strong views on topics such as feminism, gender roles, gay rights and religion.  The show opens with two Supreme Beings planning the beginning of the world with the relish of two slightly sadistic suburban housewives decorating a living room, and it just gets better and better. We get a glimpse into such situations as a woman’s morning routine, senior citizens taking a course in women’s studies, teenagers on a date, a man and woman in a country-and-western bar and two little girls trying to make sense of Catholicism.\r\n\r\nIn a review of the Trustus production, T.D. Smith, critic for Eventful website, said, “The joy of this piece is that we can all see ourselves — or someone close to us in one or more of these characters.  OK, it’s harder for a man.  But I contend that any guy that can’t laugh at this play is in desperate need of it.”\r\n\r\nCitizens Opposed to Domestic Abuse (CODA) and Child Abuse Prevention Association (CAPA) will benefit from contributions at both performances.  CODA will receive a $1 donation for every ticket sold to support their mission of breaking the cycle of domestic abuse.  CODA provides outreach services such as counseling, case management and legal assistance, as well as a shelter, transitional housing and community education.\r\n\r\nCAPA’s Closet will benefit with donations made by attendees of one or more articles of gently worn women’s clothing. Income from the thrift store supports CAPA’s mission to break the destructive cycle of child abuse and neglect by equipping parents, children and their caregivers with necessary skills, knowledge and values. They provide over 40 outreach programs and operate the Open Arms Shelter.\r\n\r\nOn Opening Night, Friday, April 11, there will be an after party with the actors at a private home in Beaufort.

After its 1896 debut in Turin — conducted by a 28-year-old named Arturo Toscanini — a reviewer wrote that “Boheme expresses sweet sentiments of the soul and speaks in exquisite melodies of eternal human passions.”\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_15832\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"200\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Arts-Opera-LaBoheme.jpg\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-15832\" alt=\"This is tenor Vittorio Grigolo as Rodolfo.\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Arts-Opera-LaBoheme.jpg\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" /></a> This is tenor Vittorio Grigolo as Rodolfo.[/caption]\r\n\r\nWhat makes Boheme such a wonderful experience is the almost unique quality of being instantly likable. It seems to flow almost continuously from mood to mood, from melody to melody, and always enriched by the composer’s superb dramatic instincts. Another Verdi rule was that no act should last more than 40 minutes. Boheme’s longest? The first — at 35!\r\n\r\n<b>Act I:</b> It’s Christmas Eve in Paris in 1830. Rodolfo, a poet, and Marcello, a painter, are at work in their modest garret. They’re soon joined by Schaunard, a musician, and Colline, a philosopher, who joke about their poverty and their arts. When the landlord arrives to claim back rent, they chide him and then shuffle him off. Rodolfo, left alone when the others leave for the Cafe Momus, hears a knock on the door. It’s Mimi, a fragile seamstress who lives down the hall. She asks Rodolfo to re-light her candle. He obliges, and when she drops her key, they reach for it together. Their hands touch and they fall in love.\r\n\r\n<b>Act II: </b>The lovers join Rodolfo’s friends at the Cafe Momus. Musetta, formerly Marcello’s mistress, appears with a wealthy old man named Alcindoro. She sees Marcello and entices him to return to her. When she sends the old man off to buy her new shoes, they join together and sneak off, leaving the old man with the bill.\r\n\r\n<b>Act III:</b> A cold February day. Mimi sees Marcello and asks for advice about dealing with Rodolfo’s jealousy, which is ruining their life together. When she sees Rodolfo coming, she hides and listens while he accuses her of being a flirt, but then admits that he has no money to provide for her failing health. When he hears Mimi coughing, they reunite and promise to remain together until spring. As they embrace, Musetta appears and engages Marcello in a dust-up over problems of their own.\r\n\r\n<b>Act IV: </b>The four friends are back in Rodolfo’s garret, reflecting on wonderful times and trying to forget their troubles. Musetta enters, telling them that Mimi is outside, and drastically ill. Rodolfo rushes to get her and then stays by her side as the others leave to find help and a muff to warm Mimi’s freezing hands. Alone, the lovers recall their first meeting. Soon, their friends return, only to find Mimi dead as Rodolfo falls to her bedside crying out her name.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<b>The Music</b>\r\n\r\n<b>Act I:</b> From the moment Rodolfo hears Mimi’s knock until their final glorious “amor” is heard as they are leaving, Puccini concludes what is no doubt the finest single act he ever wrote. His lyrical genius reveals itself when Rodolfo touches Mimi’s hand, leading to one of opera’s finest tenor arias, “Che gelida manina,” telling her about his life as a poet. She responds, delicately explaining how she longs for the warmth of spring. Already in love, they join in an enchanting duet, “O soave fanciulla” (O, lovely girl) which author Charles Osborne wrote “is as impassioned as any that has ever echoed through the corridors of operatic palaces.” Together they slowly leave the room, ecstatically expressing their love in soaring phrases. There are very few moments in opera when the word “heavenly” can be used to describe the emotions that a setting of musical drama can convey to an audience. And this is one of its best.\r\n\r\n<b>Act II:</b> The impressive highlight of this brief 18-minute act is another well-known tune: Musetta’s Waltz. It’s a terrific crowd-pleaser at the cafe — and in opera houses as well. Originally, Puccini had written this piece for a ceremony in Genoa for the launching of a battleship.\r\n\r\n<b>Act III:</b> Outside a tavern, Rodolfo and Mimi express the anguish of hopeless love in a moving duet. It ends abruptly when Marcello and Musetta come storming out of a tavern in a jealous rage, leading to a quartet which merges two sharply contrasting moods. It’s another Puccini masterpiece of dramatic invention.\r\n\r\n<b>A</b><b>ct IV:</b> “Sono andati? (“Have they gone?” Mimi asks Rodolfo, “I’ve been waiting for them to leave”). Thus begins a heart-rending duet in hushed tones as the orchestra recalls melodies from their first meeting. It’s an unforgettable scene, ending with his despairing cry of “Mimi, Mimi!”\r\n\r\nSinging the role of Rodolfo, Vittorio Grigolo; Marcello, Massimo Cavalletti; and two young sopranos making their Met debuts, Anita Hartig as Mimi and Jennifer Rowling as Musetta.\r\n\r\n“La Boheme” will be at USCB Center for the Arts on Saturday, April 5, at 12:55 p.m. Tickets: Adults $22; OLLI members $18; Students under 18, $15.

In fact, 30 minutes of reading each day can boost kids’ literacy skills and increase success in school, which is especially critical during spring and summer school breaks when some kids are without access to educational opportunities and can experience learning loss. Through Camp Readers, the Y makes it possible, fun and simple to continue reading by providing a variety of materials that match kids’ interests.\r\n\r\n“Outside of the classroom, many youth are not as engaged in learning and reading activities as they would be while in school, which statistics show can result in learning loss. Combining fun camp activities with academic enrichment is a wonderful way to keep kids’ bodies and minds active,” said Kaylin Garst, Operations Director, YMCA of Beaufort County. “Through Camp Readers, we will use reading daily to help more kids stay on course developmentally, so they return to school reading at grade-level.”\r\n\r\nAs a leading nonprofit for strengthening community through youth development, the Y is addressing the academic achievement gap to help more youth succeed in school.\r\n\r\nTo learn more about Camp Readers and how to enroll your child, visit www.ymcabeaufortcounty.com.\r\n<div></div>', 'YMCA keeps kids reading over Spring Break ', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'ymca-keeps-kids-reading-over-spring-break', '', '', '2014-04-03 13:29:07', '2014-04-03 17:29:07', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=15859', 0, 'post', '', 0),

JP Cooper of the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office reviewed safety rules for roadway cleanup. Adam Fazio, owner of Mattress Firm and former high school player, gave the team a powerful talk about the importance of values as they go forward to college and careers. Mr. Fazio,  inspired by Coach Hatcher’s program will be a supporter of all future efforts. SC Department of Transportation and Keep Beaufort County Beautiful representatives participated by providing supplies, coordination and information for the cleanup. The more than 30 players and volunteers removed 40 bags of litter from the highway.\r\n\r\nAnother project on Coach Hatcher’s list is reading to Whale Branch Elementary students. This big brother approach not only helps the young readers but gives his Warriors an opportunity to teach and help younger students.  Coach Hatcher summed it up by calling it “a win-win project for all.”\r\n\r\nWhale Branch’s Junior ROTC program also participates in roadway cleanup around their school by participating in the Adopt A Highway program. Other schools have adopted their connecting roadways including:  Whale Branch Middle School, Battery Creek High School JROTC, Robert Smalls JROTC, Shanklin Elementary, St. Helena Elementary and Beaufort Academy.  For more information about litter reduction and Keep Beaufort County Beautiful, contact 255-2734.\r\n<div></div>', 'Whale Branch Warriors lead by example', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'whale-branch-warriors-lead-by-example', '', '', '2018-07-12 11:00:51', '2018-07-12 15:00:51', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=15868', 0, 'post', '', 0),

(15886, 4, '2014-04-10 08:03:48', '2014-04-10 12:03:48', '<b>By Celia Strong</b>\r\n\r\nThe label of this week’s wine shows a simple white background with a little man in a suit and his hat popping off his head. The image on this good new wine provokes mystery, as does its name, “Zolo,” and makes us wonder about the stories behind it. First, we need to learn about the history of this Malbec, so off we go to Argentina in South America.\r\n\r\nThe wine industry in Argentina is the fifth largest producer in the world. Much of it, like the cuisine of this country, has its roots in Spain. But, there are some roots in Italy, as well. Growing grapes in Argentina dates back to 1557, during the Spanish colonization of the Americas, when Santiago del Estero brought vine cuttings into the country.\r\n\r\nThe beginnings of wine in Argentina, though, were not the most auspicious. Producers were much more geared to quantity over quality. And, even until the early 1990’s, much of what they produced was not worth exporting, even though they made more than any other country outside of Europe.\r\n\r\nWe’ve learned, previously, that the 1885 completion of the Argentine national railroad helped make it possible to get the wines out of the vineyards and to the coast for shipping to the world. More help came in 2002, when the Argentine peso was devalued. Production costs dropped and tourism dollars appeared. And, tourism brought wine lovers.\r\n\r\nMendoza is one of the provinces of Argentina. For most of us, it is the best known of their wine regions. This is the largest wine producing area in all of Latin America. Mendoza, the capital city of the region, is one of the 10 cities worldwide in the network of Great Wine Capitals. (The others are Bilbao/Rioja, Spain; Bordeaux, France; Cape Town/Cape Winelands, South Africa; Christ Church/South Island, New Zealand; Firenze, Italy; Mainz/Rheinhessen, Germany; Porto, Portugal; San Francisco/Napa Valley, California, United States; Valparaiso/Casablanca Valley, Chile.)\r\n\r\nThe city of Mendoza was founded on March 2, 1561, by Pedro del Castillo. The name “Mendoza” came from the Spanish governor at that time of Chile. The city was founded on the banks of the Rio Mendoza, but, really, the river was just a big irrigation canal developed by one of the local Indian tribes before the Spanish arrived. The area around the city grew thanks to Jesuit missionaries and the slave labor of the natives. With organized irrigation from their rivers,  agriculture production increased from the end of the 18th century on. Besides wine, the Mendoza province produces olive oil and uranium.\r\n\r\nThe Mendoza region is located in the far western part of the country. It has a continental climate with semi-arid dessert conditions. Obviously, the irrigation is needed. There are four seasons here, with no extreme temperatures. This makes the grapevines’ growing cycle uneventful — good for the grapes and their wines. The soil is mostly alluvial with loose sand over clay. As of 2008, there were more than 350,000 acres of vineyards here, almost two-thirds of the total in Argentina. The vineyards are at elevations of 2,600 to 3,600 feet above sea level.\r\n\r\nThe main growing areas are in two departments — Maipú and Luján. The first Argentine designated appellation, Luján de Cuyo, was declared in 1993. The switch to European varieties from indigenous ones, at about the same time, made Mendoza even more important and profitable. Today, though, the pink-skinned grapes Cereza and Criolla Grande still account for about 25 percent of the grapes grown in Mendoza.\r\n\r\nBut, we are doing Malbec this week. Malbec was first introduced into Argentina in the mid-19th century and, today, there are more than 50,000 acres of it planted there. The highest rated Malbecs come from high altitudes in Mendoza — from 2,800 feet to 5,000 feet above sea level.\r\n\r\nMalbec is a purple grape that gives its wines a dark inky, purple color and robust tannins. A great story about Malbec, just not necessarily true, says that Malbec is named for a Hungarian peasant who spread the grape throughout France while he was working undercover for a viticulturalist. Sadly,  because that’s such a good story, more evidence says that the original name of this grape was Côt, and it probably came from northern Burgundy.\r\n\r\nIn France, in the Bordeaux region particularly, Malbec was used as a blending variety. This is a thick skinned grape and needs more sun and heat than both Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. It ripens in mid-season and brings color, tannins and a plum-like flavor to its wines. Its wines are dark, rich and juicy. On the negative side, Malbec is sensitive to frost. But that makes the climate of Mendoza really good for it. In addition to its plum flavors, Malbec has blackberry and black cherry notes along with chocolate and cocoa powder, violets, leather and sweet tobacco, depending on the length of time it’s aged time in oak.\r\n\r\nNow, our wine for this week comes from Fincas Patagonicas, under the Zolo label. This winery is owned by Patricia Ortiz, who stresses both the science and the art of wine. The winery has its own laboratory and the latest technology. One of their winemakers is Jean Claude Berrouet, who has also worked at Chateau Pétrus in Bordeaux.\r\n\r\nThe grapes for our Zolo Malbec all come from estate vineyards, located throughout Mendoza. Agrelo vineyard grapes give classic plum flavors to the wine; San Pablo vineyard grapes give concentration and structure; Tupungato grapes  give “terroir” and dark fruit aromas; Maipú grapes, from 70-year-old vines, give red fruit aromas; Vista Flores give color, structure and berry and floral aromas; and Urgarteche grapes make intensely fruity wines with elegance. The average elevation of these vineyards is 3,200 feet above sea level.\r\n\r\nOur Zolo Malbec is 100 percent Malbec, all handpicked grapes that are cold macerated for three to five days to extract color and aromas. They are fermented in stainless steel tanks for 10 to 14 days and 100 percent malo-lactic fermentation happens spontaneously. The wine is then aged for six months,  90 percent in French oak barrels and 10 percent in American oak.\r\n\r\nAnd the name “Zolo?”  It means several things. One is “high” or “inebriated,” which might make sense for a wine. But, Patricia Ortiz is married, and works in Mendoza much of the week while leaving her husband alone in Buenos Aires. “Zolo” also means “solo,” which I suppose can apply to both of them.\r\n\r\nAnd why the hat in mid-air on the Zolo label? I’ve given you plenty of stories this week, the hat story is on you. The Zolo Malbec can be your inspiration. For $12.99.

(15888, 4, '2014-04-10 08:05:02', '2014-04-10 12:05:02', '<b>By Danette Vernon</b>\r\n\r\nI was 38, and in my third year in college. It was 1998. I was studying art therapy, and as I searched through a bank of micro-fish one afternoon, I found a few lines that took my life and measured it in black and white.\r\n\r\nAn anonymous student, in quoting liberally from various sources, unknowingly told my whole life story with her words. I printed and stored these pages, and their unattractive secrets about me. Fourteen years later, I pulled the pages from exile in the attic. I was willing to at last to face all of my well documented and well conditioned flaws, the majority of which stemmed from the parting of my family through divorce. It was at this juncture that I began to write. I was hoping to “write myself well” from this seeming calamity of divorce.\r\n\r\nPsychologist and researcher, Judith Wallerstein, in her work with divorced families over a 25-year period discovered, just as I did as a woman long past the bloom of youth, the long lasting impact of divorce.\r\n\r\nJudith interviewed nearly a 100 children starting in 1971. She continued to see these same children throughout their lives. The Amazon description of the latest version of her findings, “The Legacy of Divorce, The 25 Year Landmark Study,” opens with these words, “In this compelling, thought-provoking book, Judith Wallerstein explains that, while children do learn to cope with divorce, it in fact takes its greatest toll in adulthood, when the sons and daughters of divorced parents embark on romantic relationships of their own. Wallerstein sensitively illustrates how children of divorce often feel that their relationships are doomed, seek to avoid conflict, and fear commitment.”\r\n\r\nJudith advises parents in her original work on the topic, “Second Chances, Men Women and Children, a Decade after Divorce,” on how best to approach a divorce in order to save your child from as much damage as possible.\r\n\r\nFirst, she beautifully shapes her ideas on ending the divorce with civility. Judith encourages parents to be cognizant of the fact that what they say or do may be how their children will forever remember the rending of their family.\r\n\r\nMany parents wonder how to tell the children that they are getting a divorce. Judith, having heard a hundred versions of how these words were delivered and then received, offers a plethora of insightful and empathetic guidelines. One, if there are disparate ages amongst your children, tell them all together, and then separately, with an explanation at the second go round that is age appropriate for each child. At the initial telling, Judith encourages framing the idea of divorce as a conclusion reached with reluctance, rationality, and sadness.\r\n\r\nThis family history changing moment, according to Judith, should be charged with so much clarity that the children are as convinced as possible that they neither caused the divorce nor can they mend it. In addition, while concrete information should be provided about what lies ahead, there is no need to divulge lurid details of what now lies in the past. Explain that while courage will be needed as the family separates, a part of being brave is to reveal your feelings. Judith notes the importance of crying for the parents and the children, “as only crying reduces anger to human size.”\r\n\r\nMost importantly, divorce is a matter between adults. Do not burden or attempt to divide your children’s loyalty with your own feelings of jealousy, anger, or loneliness. Go forward with your life, avoiding the inadvertent placement of emotional responsibility for yourself on your children.\r\n\r\nBe ever mindful of what words and deeds of yours are being “stored in the attic” of your child’s heart and mind that may displace, or support, their own efforts at happiness years later.\r\n<div></div>', 'Exiled to the attic: Part II of Horseshoes and the Ex', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'exiled-to-the-attic-part-ii-of-horseshoes-and-the-ex', '', '', '2014-04-10 08:05:02', '2014-04-10 12:05:02', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=15888', 0, 'post', '', 0),

(15892, 4, '2014-04-10 08:20:57', '2014-04-10 12:20:57', '<b>By Jim Hicks</b>\r\n\r\nThe Good Neighbor Free Medical Clinic of Beaufort is one of the very real success stories in which all residents of northern Beaufort County can take pride.  It was established in 2007 as a 501©(3) nonprofit organization to provide free primary health care services for low-income, uninsured, adult residents of Beaufort County, and originally was located in the City of Beaufort.\r\n\r\nBy 2010, the clinic had outgrown the Beaufort site and relocated to its present home on Lady’s Island where larger facilities were available. Located in the Professional Village on Lady’s Island (the office complex behind Sonic off Sea Island Parkway), a group of individuals works quietly and without fanfare to provide medical care for those who have no other place to seek help.\r\n\r\nThe amazing aspect of this medical clinic is that its services are able to be offered free of charge to all Beaufort County residents between the ages of 18 and 64 who have a total household income less than 200% of the Federal Poverty Level, have no health insurance including Medicaid and Medicare, and are unable to afford or are not eligible for coverage.  The primary reason its services can be provided without charge is the fact that it is staffed by volunteer physicians, nurses and other health professionals who donate their time and talents.\r\n\r\nLaboratory tests and diagnostic procedures are provided as a contribution from Beaufort Memorial Hospital and funding is provided by grants and individual gifts.\r\n\r\nWith the implementation of the Affordable Care Act this year, will there continue to be a need for the operation of the clinic? The simple answer is yes.\r\n\r\nA key part of the original Affordable Care Act, as passed by Congress in 2010, was the mandatory expansion of the Medicaid program in each state.  In 2012 the Supreme Court ruled the mandatory expansion of the Medicaid program was unconstitutional. As a result of this ruling, some states, including South Carolina, chose not to implement the Medicaid expansion portion of the Affordable Care Act. Therefore, South Carolina’s narrow Medicaid eligibility criteria remained unchanged. As a result it was estimated that in 2013 between 150,000 and 185,000 people in South Carolina would end up not being eligible for either the State Medicaid program or the federal Affordable Care Act subsidized insurance program.\r\n\r\nIn northern Beaufort County, the number of individuals between the ages of 18 and 64 earning below the established federal poverty line and still ineligible for either Medicaid or the Affordable Care Act is estimated to be approximately 5,500 adults. For these patients and many other low-income individuals in northern Beaufort County, the Good Neighbor Free Clinic of Beaufort is the only accessible source of primary health care services.\r\n\r\nThis is a political year with a large number of county, state and national offices scheduled to be on the November ballot. There will be all sorts of claims for and against the Affordable Care Act. However, one of the things that should not be open for debate is strong community support for the Good Neighbor Free Medical Clinic of Beaufort. It provided medical care, without the support of a single tax dollar, for 1,779 patient visits in 2013. The need for its services is not going to go away.\r\n\r\nIn 2014, with the continued generous support of private donors, religious organizations, foundations and the Beaufort Memorial Hospital, the clinic will be able to continue providing access to affordable healthcare for the low-income uninsured of northern Beaufort County.\r\n\r\nOn behalf of the Lady’s Island community to all who support this worthwhile endeavor, thank you.\r\n\r\n<b>Anyone with medical experience and a desire to volunteer with the Good Neighbor Free Medical Clinic of Beaufort can call 843-470-9088 or email gnmc1402@embarqmail.com</b>\r\n<div><b> </b></div>', 'Good Neighbor Free Medical Clinic of Beaufort: With the arrival of the Affordable Care Act, is it still needed?', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'good-neighbor-free-medical-clinic-of-beaufort-with-the-arrival-of-the-affordable-care-act-is-it-still-needed', '', '', '2014-04-10 08:20:57', '2014-04-10 12:20:57', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=15892', 0, 'post', '', 0),
(15894, 4, '2014-04-10 08:21:48', '2014-04-10 12:21:48', '<b>By Cherimie Crane Weatherford</b>\r\n\r\nNever one accused of being an oracle, often I hesitate prior to parting unsolicited wisdom on the unsuspecting. Having made far too many less-than-stellar decisions, a quiet nod or a quick retreat has served better than lectures on life. However, my inability to hold an unusually heavy tongue reigns victorious in certain situations. Stemming from sincere concern and void of holier-than-thou sentiment, my intent is to say what many share in thought.\r\n\r\nWithout a doubt, social media has forever changed life as we know it, friendship as we understand it and even self image as we hope it. The once romantic English language has been reduced to acronyms and idiosyncrasy. Privacy has given way to a surge of sharing and sharing and sharing. Having never occurred to previous generations to open the windows of ones life with reckless abandon, social norms are shifting and, in some instances, sinking.\r\n\r\nThe rays of success have shined sweetly on my little boutique. A mixture of devil-be-damned determination, timing and a heaping helping of hard work have set our small business up for expansion.\r\n\r\nAs with any small business, the heart of our company is most certainly our staff. Knowing that our staff will need to grow, we often pay close attention to social media as a source for those in search of a job. It isn’t our first stop, not even our most important, but it is a consideration that often sheds light or throws shadows. Again, of the many versions of my name, Oracle has never been included and, just as all small town residents, I too live in a glass house often in need of a good shine.\r\n\r\nBut after speaking with other small business owners in regard to social media, it gave me impetus to create a short list that may prevent an unintentional dent in an inevitable job search.\r\n\r\n<b>1. Family Ties.</b> We all bear the burden of family dynamics or, in some instances, family dynamite. Small businesses know that, just like in a marriage, when you hire a person, you often hire the family — or at least the effects of the family’s behavior. Before posting details of familial discontent, possibly consider it could very well sway an employer. If your mom happens to know no bounds, your brother finds public controversy especially attractive, or your sister simply can’t help but share her impressive array of daily emotions, maybe you should find a way to hide their expressions from your feed. You can’t choose your family, but you can choose what they display on your social media.\r\n\r\n<b>2. Love Your Selfie, just in private.</b> Your image often affects the image of the business interested in hiring you. What you do in private is certainly your own business, until you make it public. Small business owners, particularly in a small town, must be immensely aware of the image one portrays. That irresistible selfie in front of the toilet may be best served shared only to your closest friends or those who also share that toilet. Make certain that what you make public wouldn’t make you uncomfortable in tomorrow’s staff meeting. Yes, it is your profile, you’re right, but it can also be your reason for not getting a job.\r\n\r\n<b>3. Business Bashing. </b>Every single person has experienced less-than-stellar service, mind-numbing disappointment in products and anger with employees. Numerous times I have found myself wanting to scream from the rooftops my displeasure; however, those rooftops echo. Venting is the American way — it validates emotion, falls on friendly ears and often aids in change — but directing fire-breathing discourse towards specific businesses causes any hiring agent hesitation. What may be momentary emotion could be a lingering dismissal? Vent away, just vent about the facts or the situation, but never the business itself. Passive aggressive social media fighting often wins the author attention, though not always the attention they intended.\r\n\r\n<b>4. Sign Language.</b> Poised, polished and poetically articulate, your interview is seamless. Yet, your unusual usage of the English language, hand gestures, and contortion of facial muscles pasted all over your profile is a cause for confusion. If your allegiance lies with any group, association or unusual gathering, possibly posts portraying a particular behavior should be savored among like minds and like minds only.\r\n\r\n<b>5. The Morning After. </b>Partaking of the finer things in life is a freedom we all enjoy. Letting our hair down on the weekends often helps to keep us sane. But sharing the aftermath in full detail gives future employers reason to wonder. No employer wants to worry if a wonderful weekend means a call in sick Monday. All-nighters don’t necessarily translate into exceptionally productive days. That photo of your impressive table dancing solo at 4 a.m. may be best viewed by your dance partners, not future employers.\r\n\r\nSocial media has proven to be a phenomenal tool, an irreplaceable method of communication and a catalyst for change never before seen. I am ever so thankful that it wasn’t as popular when I began my career; thankfully most of my questionable actions were spread only by the volume of my parents reaction and not documented via photos. As if the burden of finding a job weren’t difficult enough, social media has given potential employers all the reason they need to dismiss, and more than enough reason to doubt.\r\n\r\nIf you will soon be entering the job market, take extra precaution in the image you portray.

They all enjoyed grilled steaks, roasted vegetables and Bunny’s favorite salad that features hearts of palm and artichoke hearts.\r\n\r\nBut more than the food and drink, everyone enjoyed each others’ company — the children played outside, the teenagers told jokes and hung out in the large garage while the adults talked and laughed on the back deck as the tiki torches danced and late afternoon turned into night.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_15914\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"227\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Profile-Dennis-Bunny.jpg\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-15914\" alt=\"Dennis, center, and Bunny, at right, with kids, (from left) Holt, Ryan and Frank.\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Profile-Dennis-Bunny.jpg\" width=\"227\" height=\"200\" /></a> Dennis, center, and Bunny, at right, with kids, (from left) Holt, Ryan and Frank.[/caption]\r\n\r\nIt’s a typical scene that plays out often at their house, where the emphasis on spending time with friends and loved ones makes this family tight-knit and creates a welcoming environment for others around them.\r\n\r\nAs the mother of three kids ranging in age from 15 to 4, Bunny stays busy keeping the household running. She grew up in Myrtle Beach and moved to Beaufort in 1996. Most recently she worked full time at Ali’s Attic, but is now enjoying time at home since the store closed last month.\r\n\r\nBunny and Dennis first met when they worked at the same company in Beaufort. But they were both married to other people at the time, so they were just friends. When she stopped working there, the two lost touch. Then, as fate would have it, they ran into each other at a gas station, and that was the spark that reignited their relationship, although this time on a more intimate level.\r\n\r\nThey have been married for six years, and they are playful and sweet and fun to be around.\r\n\r\nDennis is a laid-back, hard-working guy with a good sense of humor. He likes to work in the yard, and he likes the Blue Angels, he has pictures of the jets hung up all around their garage, which also doubles as a bit of a man cave. He also likes going to the grocery store — he’s well known at the BiLo on Boundary Street because he shops there almost everyday, and their family has saved up some major Fuel Perks.\r\n\r\nAnd it’s a good thing too because they recently added a third car to their fleet in anticipation of Bunny’s oldest daughter, Holt Emeline Winkler, getting her license when she turns 16 at the end of May.\r\n\r\nHolt attends Battery Creek High School where she is a stellar student and is also involved with band. She is section leader for the drumline, and she plays the bass drum in marching band and timpani in concert band. She started playing the drums, bells and keyboard in elementary school, and now she’s also a member of the Beaufort Symphony Youth Orchestra.\r\n\r\nEven though Holt’s technically a sophomore, after taking her first college credit course this year in English, she realized she learned more in that class than any other, and — because her grades are so good — decided she wanted to graduate a year early.\r\n\r\nBunny said this was hard for her to accept at first, she was planning for the family to have two more years all together, but now she fully supports Holt’s decision because she knows her daughter is smart and driven.\r\n\r\nBunny jokes that one of the biggest challenges of being a parent is “knowing if you are doing the right thing and not messing them up for life!” But she must be doing something right because in addition to being beautiful and talented, both of her daughters are nice, smart and respectful.\r\n\r\nAs a seventh grader at Beaufort Middle School, Ryan Marie Winkler, is an energetic 13-year-old. With her big blue eyes and long blond hair, this outgoing teen recently landed the lead role in Beaufort Middle School’s production of the musical “Fame.” The public is invited to support the students and see the show on stage at Beaufort High School auditorium on Friday, April 11 at 6 p.m.\r\n\r\nLike her sister, Ryan also performs with the Beaufort Symphony Youth Orchestra, but she prefers strings and is the second chair violist.\r\n\r\nFrank, 4, is a sweet little guy who keeps everyone on his toes. He likes to play the drums, just like his big sister Holt, and he is fast on his bike, even with training wheels. He turns 5 this year and will start Kindergarten in the fall.\r\n\r\nHe likes to play with his cousin, Tucker, the son of Bunny’s sister, Anna, who also lives in Beaufort and works at a local daycare facility. The two boys enjoy spending time with their grandma, Frances Siler, who was a third grade teacher at Laurel Bay for 20 years.\r\n\r\nWith beach season fast approaching, the family is getting ready for their favorite time of the year. Every weekend during the summer, they pack up all their gear — including canopies, coolers and corn hole — and spend the whole day at Hunting Island State Park. Dennis has already purchased and assembled a new grill in anticipation for cooking out at the beach.\r\n\r\nRyan says, “I enjoy spending time as a family and all the activities that we do together, especially our days on the beach at Hunting Island.”\r\n\r\nThe Mindermanns are also generous people who are always willing to help their friends and neighbors\r\n\r\nAccording to friend Cindy Trainum, “I was introduced to Bunny and Dennis about a year ago by my daughter, Phoebe, who is ‘besties’ with Ryan.  They are such a down-to-earth couple with whom my boyfriend, Pat, and I quickly became fast friends. They are always there when you need them — and always fun to be around!”\r\n\r\nThe whole family appreciates all that Beaufort has to offer — from the small town charm to the festivals to the natural beauty and outdoor opportunities — and they all make our community a better place to live.\r\n\r\nBunny said, “Our plans for the future include raising our kids and having fun enjoying our town.”', 'With a focus on spending time together and having fun, Bunny and Dennis Mindermann represent Beaufort’s Modern Family', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'with-a-focus-on-spending-time-together-and-having-fun-bunny-and-dennis-mindermann-represent-beauforts-modern-family', '', '', '2014-04-10 09:13:16', '2014-04-10 13:13:16', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=15913', 0, 'post', '', 0),

The event included aircraft for the public to view, food from local restaurants, displays from aeronautical businesses and a special area for children to play and build.\r\n\r\nThe Civil Air Patrol is the civilian auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force and supports 26,000 cadets nationwide ages 12-21. The program focuses on developing and educating young people in four areas: leadership, aerospace, physical fitness and character development.\r\n\r\nCadets don’t stop learning once they reach age 21, and the responsibilities become more serious if they stay on. Senior Civil Air Patrol adult members and student cadets execute emergency missions that involve volunteer air and ground crews. Those missions range from searching for lost hikers and boaters, to finding downed planes and pilots, to providing emergency assistance during hurricanes.\r\n\r\nCAP flies more than 85 percent of all federal inland search and rescue missions, and an average of nearly 100 peoples are saved each year by CAP members.\r\n\r\nThe Beaufort Composite Squadron becomes the 20th Squadron in Civil Air Patrol South Carolina Wing.  Squadron Commander Katrina Thompson is an Air Force veteran who now works at Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort.\r\n\r\n“We’ll meet from 6-8 p.m. Tuesday nights at the Beaufort County Airport terminal,” Thompson said.  “We had 15 cadets at our first meeting — all middle and high school students — and we hope to recruit more at Saturday’s Beaufort Air Day.”\r\n\r\nCAP’s aerospace education efforts focus on two different audiences: volunteer CAP members and the general public. The programs ensure that all CAP members (seniors and cadets) have an appreciation for and knowledge of aerospace issues. Cadets complete aerospace education as one of the requirements to progress through the achievement levels of the cadet program.

She was the original vocalist for Savannah Jazz Orchestra and a featured opener for jazz greats Lionel Hampton and McCoy Tyner and is now performing in “Jukebox Journey” at the historic Savannah Theatre.\r\n\r\n<b>Sweetgrass Angels keep it together</b>\r\n\r\nBeaufort’s Sweetgrass Angels are, according to Herron, “…the glue holding the entire show together.” The trio of Penney Lynn Smith, Velma Polk and Elaine Lake will perform a variety of their Motown favorites, some country and western and pop music, as well as provide backup support for Scott and Herron. Audiences will remember their hit\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_15944\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Sweetgrass-Angels-Elaine-Lake-Velma-Polk-Penney-Lynn-Smith.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-15944\" alt=\"Sweetgrass Angels - Elaine Lake, Velma Polk, Penney Lynn Smith\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Sweetgrass-Angels-Elaine-Lake-Velma-Polk-Penney-Lynn-Smith-300x214.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"214\" /></a> Sweetgrass Angels - Elaine Lake, Velma Polk, Penney Lynn Smith[/caption]\r\n\r\nshows, “Honky Tonk Angels” in 2012, and “Honky Tonk Angels Holiday Spectacular!” last Christmas at USCB Center for the Arts.

When his family loses their home and are forced to move, Ahlo meets the spirited orphan Kia (9) and her eccentric uncle Purple: an ex-soldier with a purple suit, a rice-wine habit and a fetish for James Brown.\r\n\r\nStruggling to hang on to his father’s trust, Ahlo leads his family, Purple and Kia through a land scarred by war in search of a new home. In a last plea to try and prove he’s not cursed, Ahlo builds a giant explosive rocket to enter the most lucrative but dangerous competition of the year: the Rocket Festival. As the most bombed country in the world shoots back at the sky, a boy will reach to the heavens for forgiveness.\r\n\r\nGripping yet heart-warming, The Rocket is a deeply personal story about the determination of a boy who has the odds stacked against him, set against the epic backdrop of a war-ravaged country on the brink of huge change.\r\n\r\nTickets are adults $7, seniors $6, students $7.

(Although they don’t usually offer meals during wine tastings, if you call ahead, they will gladly customize your visit depending on the needs of your group.)\r\n\r\nAnnette described the types of grapes that are grown, as well as the history of the property, then we joined her inside\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_15960\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"150\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/DSC_0058.jpg\"><img class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-15960\" alt=\"Homemade lunch of fruit salad, pasta salad, egg salad sandwich, chicken salad sandwich and a brownie.\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/DSC_0058-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" /></a> Homemade lunch of fruit salad, pasta salad, egg salad sandwich, chicken salad sandwich and a brownie.[/caption]\r\n\r\nfor our proper wine tasting.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_15961\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/DSC_0070.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-15961\" alt=\"Knowledgeable wine consultant Annette introduces the award-winning wines during tastings at September Oaks.\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/DSC_0070-300x199.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" /></a> Knowledgeable wine consultant Annette introduces the award-winning wines during tastings at September Oaks.[/caption]\r\n\r\nThe owner of September Oaks, Grady Woods, makes all his own wines from local and regional grapes. An architect by trade, he also designed the Tasting Room, which was originally a barn. The high ceiling and repurposed wood give the large room an updated rustic feel.\r\n\r\nWe lined up along the wide bar with our tasting sheets as Annette revealed the intricacies of each bottle. We swirled and sipped, and were given cheese and chocolate to see how the taste of the certain wine changes when paired with food.\r\n\r\nIt was informative and fun, and afterward we got to tour the big warehouse in the back to see where the wine is\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_15962\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/DSC_0088.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-15962\" alt=\"Nikki, Laura and Irene stand at the bar in the tasting room as they sample wine.\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/DSC_0088-300x199.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" /></a> Nikki, Laura and Irene stand at the bar in the tasting room as they sample wine.[/caption]\r\n\r\nmade.\r\n\r\nThe beauty of the grounds, the friendliness of the staff, and of course, the opportunity to sample delicious local wines, make a visit to this winery an experience you won’t soon forget.\r\n\r\nSeptember Oaks Vineyards is located at 893 Grays Highway, Ridgeland, SC, 29936.

It was a perfect night to honor Marquis de Lafayette’s historic visit and to be a Beaufortonian.

(15996, 4, '2014-04-17 08:08:04', '2014-04-17 12:08:04', '<b>By Tracie Korol</b>\r\n\r\nWe are now floating in the sea change where dogs, in earlier centuries regarded as pests or property, later to become helpmates and co-workers, are now not even companions and friends. Now, they are family.  And as family, they are often taking on more responsibilities than most of your run-of-the mill two-legged people. Assistance animals treat high blood pressure, provide diabetic monitoring, detect cancers and make enormous contributions to the management of autism.  Canine warriors lay down their lives on the battlefield and in inner city combat zones. When they cuddle on the couch with us in the evenings, they fill in the emotional gaps in our increasingly technological world.\r\n\r\nAs any of us who has agreed to the contract of dog ownership knows, the dog in our house IS part of the family and is most likely, much more loveable and enjoyable than some of their human counterparts.  But can we can so far as to think of them as fur-covered people?  Sure.\r\n\r\nAfter training dozens of dogs to lie still in MRI machines and scanning their brains in active reaction to various stimuli, neuroeconomics professor Gregory Burns goes so far as to come to the conclusion that “dogs are people, too.” Unlike behavioral analyses, Burns’s work provides actual neurological evidence that dogs experience consciousness and emotions at a level comparable to humans. He did so after training dogs (with the help of Mark Spivak) for months to be comfortable inside MRI scanners — and having them wear earmuffs to protect their sensitive hearing from the 95 decibels of noise the scanner makes.\r\n\r\nThat a dog would consent to a scan without the whingeing, complaining and anxieties made by people in MRI machines, is testimony enough for me.\r\n\r\nAfter analyzing the scans, Burns was struck by the similarity between dogs and humans in both the structure and function of a key brain region called the caudate nucleus. Without getting too technical, the caudate is that area of the brain that flashes when we experience the anticipation of things we enjoy — like food, music or beauty. Specific parts of the caudate stand out for their consistent activation to many things that humans enjoy. Caudate activation is so consistent that under the right circumstances, it can predict our preferences.  In dogs, the caudate flashes in response to food (well, yes), the scent of familiar humans as well as shows a reaction when the beloved human momentarily steps out of view, among others.\r\n\r\nMany of the same things that activate the human caudate also activate the dog caudate. Neuroscientists call this a functional homology, and it appears to be an indication of canine emotions.  The ability to experience positive emotions, like love and attachment, means that dogs have a level of sentience comparable to that of a human child. And this ability suggests a rethinking of how we treat we treat the smallest family member and generally, dogs at large.\r\n\r\nFor most of civilized time, dogs were considered property, like rakes and washing machines. Though the Animal Welfare Act of 1966 and state laws raised the bar for the treatment of animals, it solidified the view that animals are things—objects that can be disposed of as long as reasonable care is taken to minimize their suffering.\r\n\r\nBut now, by using the MRI results, we can no longer hide from the evidence. Dogs have emotions just like us. And this means we must reconsider their treatment as property. Certainly, we need to minimize any suffering but also consider a sort of limited “personhood” for any animal that exhibits neurobiological evidence of positive emotions. Society is many years away from considering dogs as persons.  However, recent rulings by the Supreme Court have included neuroscientific findings that open the door to such a possibility.\r\n\r\n“We can no longer hide from the evidence,” says Burns. By granting them this personhood status, it would work to prevent puppy mills, laboratory dogs, and dog racing. Perhaps, we might be able to eradicate the misery of chained dogs and dog fighting prevalent in our town.\r\n<div></div>', 'Your dog is a person, too', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'your-dog-is-a-person-too', '', '', '2014-04-17 08:08:04', '2014-04-17 12:08:04', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=15996', 0, 'post', '', 0),

The events will be Saturday, April 26, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Section 5 of the Spanish Moss Trail, Beaufort. And also Saturday, April 26, 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Brickyard Landing, Lady’s Island. As always, participants must wear closed-toed shoes and clothes you do not mind getting a little dirty. They will provide gloves, sunscreen, bug spray, and water, but volunteers can be eco-friendly and bring a refillable bottle. To join any of these events, please RSVP by email at score@dnr.gov.\r\n\r\n• Coastal Conservation Association (CCA), SC’s Topwater Action Campaign and SCDNR’s SCORE program need help with the Beaufort County Oyster Reef Habitat Build on Thursday, May 15, from 2 to 5 p.m. They will depart from Whitehall Landing on Lady’s Island. The build and restoration part of the SCORE program works with local citizen groups to conduct actual habitat restoration projects and to monitor the success of those efforts. Projects involved building new reefs with recycled shells for recruitment of oyster larvae. As these pilot reefs begin to recruit new oysters and attract other critters of the estuary, they are being used as living classrooms and research platforms. Volunteer citizens are critical to monitoring the new reefs throughout the year to increase our understanding of how best to restore oyster habitats. To volunteer or for more information, contact CCA SC by calling 803-865-4164 or email hsmith@ccasouthcarolina.com.\r\n<div></div>', 'What To Do', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', '16001', '', '', '2014-04-17 08:13:33', '2014-04-17 12:13:33', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=16001', 0, 'post', '', 0),

(16007, 4, '2014-04-17 08:16:51', '2014-04-17 12:16:51', '<b>By Celia Strong</b>\r\n\r\nWhen it comes to describing this week’s featured wine, the expression “golden” comes to mind. The taste of this white wine can be described as golden, and its name, Terra d’Oro, means “Land of Gold.” So, let us go step by step, learn about the history of the grapes and the geography of the winery, and then we can appreciate our new, golden wine.\r\n\r\nCalifornia is our source this week. (Nice, because I was just there last week, actually, close to our wine’s source.)  A fun new tidbit of information? If California was a country, all by itself without the rest of us, it would be the fourth largest wine-producing country in the world. As a state, they produce 90 percent of our country’s wine. There are more than 1,200 wineries in California, including the largest of all in the world — E&amp;J Gallo Winery.\r\n\r\nCalifornia was the first state to introduce “vitis vinifera” grapes. In the 18th century, the Spanish came north from Mexico and established missions and planted grapes at each mission. Their wines were used for religious sacraments and for daily drinking. The main grape they used came from Mexico, a descendent of the “common black grape,” that had been brought to the New World by Cortés in 1520. This grape was known as the Mission grape, because of all its plantings at all their missions, and was the dominant grape in California vineyards until the 20th century.  The first commercial winery in Napa County was opened in 1859.\r\n\r\nToday, over 100 grape varieties are grown in California — French, Italian, Spanish varieties, hybrids, and new “vitis vinifera” grapes developed by the University of California at Davis. The seven leading varieties, in order of most grown to less grown, are Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, Syrah and Zinfandel. Until the late 1980’s, the Bordeaux red varieties (mostly Cabernet and Merlot) and Chardonnay dominated in the vineyards. But consumers’ boredom and winemakers with urges to expand their horizons brought all kinds of new grapes and new blends. And, I think, we have tried our best to explore many of them.\r\n\r\nToday, we are going to continue our explorations with Pinot Grigio from Santa Barbara, which is one of the most beautiful winemaking regions in California. Santa Barbara is located about 90 miles north of Los Angeles and has wine areas that range from valleys cooled by ocean breezes to stark  mountains. There are unique microclimates (some areas have very warm days and cool nights, others have more moderate temperatures with mild differences between day and night temperatures) and a variety of terrains (soil types vary from ancient beach sands and diatomaceous earth to chirt and limestone based) all of which mean it’s possible to make great wines from a multitude of different varieties. The whole area is still learning which grapes grow best where.\r\n\r\nPinot Grigio, or Pinot Gris as our grape for this week is called in some other growing regions, is one of the most popular white varieties in the world today. It is a member of the “Pinot” family of grapes, so named because their bunches are sort of pine cone shaped and the name “pinot” comes from the French word for “pine cone.”\r\n\r\nPinot Grigio is probably a mutant of the Pinot Noir grape. It has been around since the Middle Ages when it was in Burgundy. Supposedly, it was a favorite of Emperor Charles IV who had cuttings of it brought to Hungary by Cistercian monks. There it was called “Szürkebarát” or “grey monk,” referring to its skin’s color. In 1711, a German merchant, Johann Ruland, discovered a grape growing wild in fields in Palatinate. His wines were called “Ruländer” though his vines were later discovered to be Pinot Gris. Until the 18th and 19th centuries, this variety was popular in Burgundy and Champagne. But, it did not really grow well  there and became less popular. The 20th century, and science, led to research, more clonal development and grapes that produced more consistent and reliable harvests. It was researchers at the University of California at Davis who learned the genetic makeup of Pinot Gris was related to Pinot Noir. Since about 2005, Pinot Gris/Grigio has experienced a huge rise in popularity.\r\n\r\nWines made from this grape have a range of styles, depending on where they are grown and winemaking techniques. From Alsace, France, its wines are medium to full bodied with some floral bouquet and hints of spiciness. German Pinot Gris are more full-bodied with acidity and a touch of sweetness. From Oregon, the white wines are medium-bodied with apple, pear or melon notes. Italian Pinot Grigios are lighter bodied with some hints of spritziness. California Pinot Grigios, finally, are light bodied lean wines with mineral, pepper and green leaf and herb notes. Often, as is the style in California, these wines can be given some oak treatment, either fermenting or aging. There are about 2,000 acres of Pinot Grigios planted in California today.\r\n\r\nFor our Pinot Grigio, from Santa Barbara, we are going to Terra d’Oro, which means “Land of Gold” in Italian. Terra d’Oro winery is based in Amador County in the Santa Barbara region. It was in this area that during the Gold Rush pioneers found riches in the soil, soil that still gives riches, except this time in the form of wine.\r\n\r\nThe first Terra d’Oro wines were released in 1973, under the Montevina label. They were the first Amador County winery to produce wine since before Prohibition. They now have 400 acres of estate vineyards from which their get their grapes.\r\n\r\nAt Terra d’Oro, the winemaking staff feels that this area is really well suited to Pinot Grigio. A combination of well-drained valley vineyards and hillside trellised vineyards that stress the vines bring intense varietal flavors to the grapes. Like other Pinot family grapes, Pinot Grigio needs a long growing season, made possible by the cooling ocean breezes, to ripen properly, to develop its flavors and to maintain a balance between its acidity and fruitiness.\r\n\r\nThe grapes for our wine are hand-picked, early in the morning to ensure cooler temperatures for their ride to winery. As soon as they get to the winery, the grapes are sent to the presses. They are very gently pressed to avoid any excessive acidities and tartness coming from the skins, and the juice then goes into stainless steel fermenters. Fermentation is done at very low temperatures to maximize the wine’s clean, bright fruit flavors.\r\n\r\nThe 2012 vintage in Santa Barbara was a long, sunny growing season. There were normal rainfalls during the winter, minimal frost and mild winds during bloom time. Warm temperatures started in the middle of July and lasted until early October. There was a large harvest with very intense flavors in the grapes.\r\n\r\nOur 2012 Terra d’Oro Pinot Grigio has a nose of bright pears and clover flowers with full, juicy pear and stone fruit flavors, including peaches and nectarines.

Quite a display! Shortly after, Jennifer Ross “Spirit” received an invite out from Nature to go to the beach. However, Jennifer Ross “Body” was throwing such a pity party in the house that the couch seemed pretty enticing. Then it hit me...that I blessedly couldn’t even remember the last time I had been sick, and that this was NOTHING compared to what my daddy wore a happy face through with his cancer. So I grabbed my flip-flops (casual date), ditched the party, and headed out the door.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_16024\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/me-10-2.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-16024\" alt=\"Jennifer Ross\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/me-10-2-300x223.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"223\" /></a> Jennifer Ross[/caption]\r\n\r\nIt was 10:15 at night, and as I crossed the street to the beach path, the darkness enveloped me like walking into a dimmed theater. As my eyes adjusted, I noticed the moon acting as my usher and lighting the boardwalk leading to my seat. The forgiving sand acts as the perfect cushion beneath me, and the warm balmy breeze off the ocean wraps around me like the gentle arms of a lover. Looking off in the distance, I see a stage crew of four fishing boats lightly illuminating the ocean surface to set the tone. The serenade of crickets in the dunes behind me, and the crashing waves ahead supply the most beautiful surround sound symphony. Then as I looked up, the few clouds in the sky parted like a curtain to reveal a canopy of brilliant twinkling lights — the stars of the show.\r\n\r\nThe salt in the air, combined with the salt in my tears of gratitude, washed away any aches and pains in both body and spirit, causing me to hop up and give a standing ovation to the universe: Laughing and clapping, what a show! Before I turned to leave, the white tip of the tide rushed up to kiss my toes goodbye — every date should be so good.\r\n\r\nNow, I’m a fairly recent addition to the Lowcountry, so it’s very easy for me to be in awe of the style of beauty here that wasn’t readily available in Cincinnati, Ohio. However, Nature calls to you no matter where you may be, in its own unique way.\r\n\r\nDon’t get me wrong, I enjoy a good glass of vino like the next person, and it’s not like I’ve never comforted my woes with a pint of gelato (Haagen Dazs Peanut Butter Pie? Oh yes!) or a plate of nachos (with guac please). But these days I relish in those things for simple enjoyment and allow the offer of healing from Nature to soothe my inner aches and angst.\r\n\r\nIt doesn’t take a grandiose show like I attended for Nature to cure what ails you. Studies show that simply living around a green area promotes health and reduces stress, so being out and immersing yourself in it is icing on the cake. And with this oasis we all are blessed to reside in, Nature’s help is just around every corner! While a trip to the beach is always grand, relaxing on your favorite park bench, strolling down one of the many oak-lined streets, or sitting by your local dock to smell the marshy water will all do the trick.\r\n\r\nSo when you get asked out by Nature, I highly recommend saying “Yes,” it is a relationship worth forming!\r\n\r\n<i>Jennifer Ross loves to create harmony within ALL of the homes of her clients — both body &amp; house — through her Omm At Home teachings and services.
