The EOC revised the eligibility criteria in October 2012 to make them more demanding.\r\n\r\nSeven Beaufort County schools earned 2013 Gold awards for general performance, while 10 won Silver awards.  Three district schools earned Gold awards for closing achievement gaps, while two won Silver awards.\r\n\r\nFour schools were “double winners” recognized for both general performance and closing achievement gaps: Broad River Elementary, Joseph S. Shanklin Elementary, Lady’s Island Elementary and Okatie Elementary.  Lady’s Island and Okatie won Gold awards in both categories.\r\n\r\nSchools receive awards for general performance based on both their absolute and growth ratings and the growth index found on state school report cards. These ratings are determined by PASS scores for elementary and middle schools.  For high schools, ratings are based on Exit Exam results, graduation rates and percentages of students passing end-of-course tests.\r\n\r\nSchools receive closing the achievement gap awards based on academic gains made by students in four categories: African-American students, Hispanic students, students participating in federal free- or reduced-price lunch programs and students with non-speech disabilities.\r\n\r\nHere are the 2013 winners for schools in northern Beaufort County: Battery Creek High, Beaufort Elementary, Beaufort High, Broad River Elementary, Joseph S.

(10529, 4, '2013-03-28 11:40:33', '2013-03-28 15:40:33', '<b>By Danette Vernon</b>\r\n\r\nIn the chilled sunlight of a recent winter afternoon, I reflected on my childhood as I played the games Mother May I and Red Light, Green Light with my oldest granddaughter, Miah. She turned 5 this week. She lives in a world of bicycle helmets, iPods and organized activities. In contrast, I had Yard Darts — which were basically weapons that came in a box labeled for use by children — and Pic-Up-Sticks, objects so sharp that they could easily handle the most delicate of vegetables for shish kabobs, yet they were intended for kids to play with on rainy afternoons.\r\n\r\nBy the time I was two years older than Miah, I was permitted to take my younger sister Judy along on forages of the surrounding fields. We scrambled through fresh cut corn fields and groups of trees so old that they were hung with a shade that hadn’t relented to the sun in decades. We dammed small streams, and stood quiet in moments of simple reverence whenever we found the old bones of last winter’s lost sheep. Our only responsibilities were to pull our own leaches, to avoid rabid animals and not to disturbing the cattle that roamed many of these same fields.\r\n\r\nThe innocence of that sort freedom is most likely lost forever for most young children, and rightly so in many environments. But must the lessons that went with those days of exploration be lost as well? What were the benefits of damming streams, building forts or tree houses, having a pocket knife, or playing with sparklers?\r\n\r\nI can think of children who discuss the characters they regularly encounter on video games with the fervor and familiarity of housewives of the 1970’s and their soap opera “friends.”\r\n\r\nDon’t let that be your child.\r\n\r\nGever Tulley, a contract computer scientist as a general rule, co-initiated a program in 2005 called the Tinkering School that teaches children to build things they have thought of themselves (yes, they will use power tools).\r\n\r\nHe simplifies what will happen over the week that they will spend in camp, with the statement that your child may be returned, “bruised, scraped, or bloody.” But they will also be returned with the tools “with which children ultimately become inquisitive members of society and are the underpinning for the inventors, innovators, and leaders of the next generation.”\r\n\r\nWhile at camp they may try something as simple as throwing a stick at a target, which stimulates the frontal lobe, increases visual acuity, 3-D understanding, and structural problem solving. It’s a whole body activity that is both analytical and physical.\r\n\r\nMaybe you don’t have the money for camp, or maybe you want to be personally involved in making sure your child is a competent and confident adult. If so, you can start by allowing them to break the recipe rule book, through permitting them to create a dish to their own taste (believe me, there is an actual researched point of sweetness that is beyond even the average child’s desire for sugar). Or get them out on a sidewalk with some scrap lumber and some nails. Teach them the fine art of hitting a nail on the head. Deconstruct a dead appliance (or an old computer) before throwing it away, or hauling it off — a fascinating project that would seem to have endless benefits. Or finally, construct your own flying machine with a dry cleaner bag and a hair dryer.\r\n\r\nEliminate the mystic for your child, or maybe at this late date, for yourself, by becoming a person who “can.”\r\n\r\nAll of the above activities are recommended and described in detail in Gever Tulley’s book, “50 Dangerous Things (you should let your children do).”\r\n<div></div>', 'Getting children outside helps them stay engaged', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'getting-children-outside-helps-them-stay-engaged', '', '', '2013-03-28 11:40:33', '2013-03-28 15:40:33', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=10529', 0, 'post', '', 0),

No longer a tween, pre-teen but now a blossoming young lady, she has the desire to look and dress more feminine. Her choices in clothing are frilly and fashionable and her shoes now consist of low heels, sparkle and bows.\r\n\r\nI remember when she was 13 and she couldn’t quite understand all the fuss over makeup, lashes and high heels. Now, a mere two years later, I spend most of my mornings rounding up my missing mascara, eyeliner and brow powders from her bathroom vanity. Being a beauty consultant, I can’t help but smile to see this gorgeous young lady of mine emerge looking like a pretty princess, but at the back of my mind, I wonder when is enough and what is too much.\r\n\r\nTo all mothers out there with similar questions and concerns, my advice is to find out first and foremost why your daughter wants to wear makeup and what she seeks to accomplish or gain. As to age appropriateness, this will vary depending upon your personal morals, beliefs and household, however I think 13 and above are best. Instill, remind and reassure your daughters that makeup, whether it’s simply lip gloss or mascara alone, is not a cover up but an enhancement to accentuate and bring out their natural beauty.\r\n\r\nFor instance, my daughter has come to love how mascara brings attention to her already long and full lashes. I also allow her to wear a lightly tinted lip gloss that moisturizes and enhances her full lips; a feature that in times past was her least favorite attribute of herself.\r\n\r\nWhen it comes to eyeshadow and blush, at age 15 these items do not top my list of everyday wear for my daughter since they can be very dramatic in appearance and aging. At times, special occasions such as church events and school dances are considered; the same goes for heavy lip color.\r\n\r\nMost teen girls at this age have also began to experience some sort of acne or skin discoloration due to puberty. Before resorting to heavy foundation, my suggestion would be to have your daughter get regular scheduled facials, or the use of a light mineral foundation would suffice. A concealer stick works as well to spot blemishes, rather than coat the skin with heavy liquids and powders.\r\n\r\nThe key is to keep our girls young and lady-like while allowing them to experience growth and love for self acceptance.\r\n\r\nFor more information, questions or comments, visit my blog at www.blb-boutiques.com.', 'When is makeup right for my daughter?', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'when-is-makeup-right-for-my-daughter', '', '', '2013-03-28 11:41:07', '2013-03-28 15:41:07', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=10531', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Here are a few tips from my “local agent” perspective that might help make the process a good bit more efficient and effective for you.\r\n\r\n<b>Find a local agent with whom you connect well:</b> There are hundreds of local Realtors.  That’s right, hundreds.  And, as it should be, we’re all competing for the right to earn your business.  We all have the ability to show/sell you the exact same properties regardless of who has it listed. So what is in your best interest is to identify who is the best local Realtor for you.  Don’t be afraid to initially communicate with a few local agents to determine who responds in a timely manner and with a work ethic/personality that fits your personal needs the best.\r\n\r\n<b>Establish Buyer Agency:</b>  Whomever you select as an agent can (and will) explain this to you in much more detail but, in short, all real estate agents in the State of South Carolina work for the seller by “default.” That means, even if it is not their personal listing (or even their company’s listing), all agents are required to represent the seller’s best interests in a hypothetical transaction unless you have transferred that ethical/legal obligation to serve to you, the buyer, via what is called a “Buyer Agency Agreement.” This is a topic that warrants a column all of its own but, for now, just know that it’s very important to establish representation and you should discuss it in detail with the agent you have selected to work with.\r\n\r\n<b>Get a “Pre-approval letter” from a lender:</b>  This is another topic that warrants a column of its own but, in short, a pre-approval letter is a note from a bank or mortgage broker stating, in advance, that you have undergone their credit checks, etc. and are qualified for a mortgage up to a set price limit (subject to certain conditions). Having one of these already in hand when you begin shopping will greatly assist you in your quest to find the perfect property for a variety of reasons to include personal peace of mind, negotiations with a seller and offer consideration.  On a related side note, if you are a cash buyer, consider having a means to provide documented proof of liquid capital in hand.\r\n\r\n<b>Articulate your criteria: </b> Make a list of exactly what you are looking for in a “perfect property”.  Consider location, maximum price range, square footage, bedroom and bathroom counts, whether a garage is essential, ideal floor plan, what you’re looking for with regards to amenities, etc. I can assure you that you can never cover too much detail on this topic. Once you’ve got your basic criteria established, share it with your buyer’s agent leaving no stone unturned.\r\n\r\n<b>Give Feedback:</b> When your buyer’s agent sends you property information via email and/or when you tour properties with your agent, don’t hold back on explaining what you do and do not like about a property. Like everything but the small kitchen? Say so! Wish it had a bigger back yard? Say that too!  I was a Marine for many years and I always consider this portion of our real estate relationship to effectively be a “reconnaissance.” We’re essentially gathering as much information as possible on your likes and dislikes so we can even better fine tune our service to you and help locate/secure the most ideal property possible for you.\r\n\r\nWhen it comes down to it, a successful transaction boils down to successful communication. Find an agent with whom you can communicate well, communicate well with them in return and be sure you have proper documentation on hand to be able to communicate your ability to purchase to a seller once you find that perfect property.

Chef Will McLenagan features fresh seafood in a variety of forms as well as classic burgers, sandwiches, salads and favorite steak, rib and pork dishes.\r\n\r\nThe Lunch Bunch was in love with the appetizers: Flash Fried Calamari with garlic chimichurri, Fried Pickle Chips with a yummy garlic dill buttermilk ranch sauce, and the Cracked Okra — fried seasoned okra with island spiced Trinidadians sauce. Kim declared the lightly battered veggies a must-have.\r\n\r\nFor the main meal, Buck ordered the Oysters Fry N Chips Basket, while David had the Fish and Chips Basket, and both father and son were pleased.\r\n\r\nI tried the Mahi BLT made with blackened Mahi Mahi, lettuce, tomato, bacon and a Cajun remoulade on a crusty baguette. My piece of fish was so thick and juicy and overall the sandwich was simply awesome.\r\n\r\nKim and Nikki decided to split the fried local shrimp basket and the beef ribs by the bone. The shrimp were big, but the ribs were ginormous! Between the two of them, they could barely finish the four tasty ribs cooked low and slow.\r\n\r\nDessert specials vary daily, and we were fortunate enough to sample two amazing homemade creations. The Peanut Butter Pie was melt-in-your-mouth goodness, and the thick, chocolatey crust on the Oreo pie paired perfectly with vanilla ice cream and chocolate toppings — you’ll be hooked after one bite!\r\n\r\nThe Foolish Frog is located at 846 Sea Island Parkway, St. Helena Island.

Regular eyeglasses do not offer proper eye protection.\r\n\r\n<b>High-Risk Sports</b>\r\n\r\nFor all age groups, sports-related eye injuries occur most frequently in baseball, basketball and racquet sports.\r\n\r\nBoxing and full-contact martial arts pose an extremely high risk of serious and even blinding eye injuries. There is no satisfactory eye protection for boxing, although thumbless gloves may reduce the number of boxing eye injuries.\r\n\r\nIn baseball, ice hockey and men’s lacrosse, a helmet with a polycarbonate (an especially strong, shatterproof, lightweight plastic) face mask or wire shield should be worn at all times. Protective eyewear with polycarbonate lenses should be worn for sports such as basketball, racquet sports, soccer and field hockey. Choose eye protectors that have been tested to meet the American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards or that pass the CSA racquet sports standard.\r\n\r\nIf you already have reduced vision in one eye, consider the risks of injuring the stronger eye before participating in contact or racquet sports, which pose a higher risk of eye injury. Check with your ophthalmologist to see if appropriate eye protection is available and whether or not participating in contact or racquet sports is advised.\r\n\r\n<b>Other Risky Leisure Activities</b>\r\n\r\nWhile sports account for a particularly high number of eye injuries, they are by no means the only hobby that poses a risk to your sight. According to physicians surveyed for the 2008 Eye Injury Snapshot conducted by the American Academy of Ophthalmology and the American Society of Ocular Trauma, more than 40 percent of patients treated for eye injuries sustained at home were involved in home repairs, yard work, cleaning and cooking. Use common sense and err on the side of caution, whatever the activity.\r\n\r\n• Consider the risk of flying debris or other objects during activities and wear appropriate eye protection.\r\n\r\n• Remember that eyeglasses aren’t sufficient protection.\r\n\r\n• Be careful during activities or games involving projectiles and other sharp objects that could create injury if in contact with the eye. For example, the U.S. Eye Injury Registry indicates that fishing is the number one cause of sports-related eye injuries.\r\n\r\n• If you wear contacts or eyeglasses, pack a back-up form of vision correction during bike trips or other activities where you could lose or shatter a lens.\r\n\r\nIf an eye injury occurs, see an ophthalmologist or go to the emergency room immediately, even if the eye injury appears minor. Delaying medical attention can result in permanent vision loss or blindness.\r\n<div></div>', 'Keep your peepers safe this spring', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'keep-your-peepers-safe-this-spring', '', '', '2013-04-03 20:50:41', '2013-04-04 00:50:41', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=10539', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Hair extensions, for the uninformed, are just that: an extension to your hair. Hair extensions range in multiple textures, colors, lengths and materials.\r\n\r\nExtensions can add length, fullness and color and can be customized to just about any particular client out there. To begin with, the foundation in which the look, feel and longevity in which your extensions are built upon depends on the selection of material. For a natural look, feel and longevity, my personal choice is human hair. There are several ranges of synthetic hair on the market which look and feel human, however, are short lived and offer less flexibility in styling. 100% human hair extensions can be colored, heat styled and chemically altered to suit as well as blend with your own hair. Hair extensions are a great alternative for individuals not wanting to chemically alter or color their own hair, and can be applied in a plethora of techniques.\r\n\r\nAmong the most popular, and gracing the heads of most celebrity icons, are Fusion and Micro Link hair extensions. Each method is literally a strand-by-strand technique that allows a light, long term and non-detectable flexibility to styling. Fusion and Micro Link can last for up to six months with routine maintenance to keep hair healthy and manageable.\r\n\r\nHair extensions are not just for the young and don’t necessarily have to come long, so grab a magazine, find a favorite style and give me a call! Beautique Lash &amp; Brow now specializes in several methods of hair extensions to fit any hair type and are suitable for all.\r\n\r\nFor more information, questions or comments, visit my blog at www.blb-boutiques.com or call 843-322-0426.', 'Hair you wear', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'hair-you-wear', '', '', '2013-04-03 21:09:32', '2013-04-04 01:09:32', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=10548', 0, 'post', '', 0),
(10550, 4, '2013-04-03 21:10:05', '2013-04-04 01:10:05', '<b>By Martha O’Regan</b>\r\n\r\nEasier said than done: Then say it or think it as often as you can and it will eventually become true for you. Since the brain does not know the difference between what is real or imagined and has no concept of time other than present moment, we can often re-establish patterns and behaviors simply through repetition of thought.  When working with folks who are stuck in old patterns that are affecting their health, I will often suggest a shift thought to help break a pattern and create a new one. For example, I might suggest, I move through life with grace and ease” to someone who is clumsy and always getting hurt from moving too fast in the world.  When they roll their eyes and respond, “easier said than done,” I say, “Then make it easy by thinking or saying it a throughout each day even when you can’t believe it could be true.”\r\n\r\nWe now understand that the way patterns get established in the first place is through repetition because in the brain, nerves that fire together, wire together to create a corresponding physiology. If a person has been told since childhood that he or she is clumsy, then repeats it to themselves every time they fall or trip, the pattern gets reinforced and more embedded.  But when those signals get interrupted with a shift thought of grace and ease, the network can begin rearranging allowing the pattern to change.  The changes in the brain through thought, along with a new awareness of movement, ultimately creates a shift in behavior and physiology.\r\n\r\nThroughout life, we continuously go through the four stages of learning.  The first is unconscious incompetence — we don’t know what we don’t know. The second is conscious incompetence — now we know what we didn’t know and can decide whether or not we care to know more. Then we proceed to conscious competence where we practice, engage and repeat until we are unconsciously competent and are able to perform the task or have the knowledge without having to even think about it because it is ingrained as a pattern.\r\n\r\nWhat about the patterns that were established before our brains were able to consciously choose what went in?  Up until about the age of 7, everything that our brain picked up through our five senses went in as 100% truth whether it was or not.  Without the ability to discern or reason, whatever was being repeated to or around us established a neural pathway that became a belief or pattern in us, so ingrained that, as I hear folks say, “it’s just who I am.” True, but when it is affecting health, relationships, behaviors, or even financial stability, would you be willing to break up some of those patterns if you could (Stage 1)? With what we know about the brain, now we know we can (stage 2).  Stage 3 — learn, shift and repeat. Stage 4 — new pattern or behavior.\r\n\r\nIf you desire to break up an old pattern, begin by creating a shift thought. It should be easy to remember and in present tense such as “I am,” “I allow,” or “I am open to receive.” For example, instead of “I can’t afford...” shift to “I allow financial stability...” or “I am sick and tired” to “I am vibrant and alive.” Begin to hear common words in your language such as “the problem is,” “I am worried that...,” “My fear is...”, etc.  As you catch yourself, just shift and try it again. For more practice and reinforcement, get your friends and family members in on it and lovingly help each other.\r\n\r\nSo, if it is easier said than done, then say it! Practice creates change.\r\n\r\nLive Well ...

Through the CODE TCL campaign, the TCL Foundation seeks to raise $400,000 over four years for health sciences equipment, Mathews said.\r\n\r\n“New technologies evolve each year and in order for our graduates to receive the relevant educational experience necessary for today’s healthcare facilities, TCL must remain on the cutting-edge,” Mathews said.\r\n\r\nTCL has graduated about 500 health care professionals in nursing, radiological technology, surgical technology, physical therapist assistant and massage therapy programs in the last five years.\r\n\r\n“Our graduates touch the lives of Lowcountry residents every day by providing the quality health care that our region desires and expects,” President Dr. Tom Leitzel said. “TCL is a major economic driver in our healthcare community – we provide the workforce needed to sustain our communities’ healthcare.”\r\n\r\nA complete listing of equipment needs and naming opportunities are available.

She calls “Noises Off” her “dream project,” explaining that, “Monty Python, Peter Sellers and our own Marx Brothers really formed my sense of humor. I love witty puns, double entendre and the exaggeration of characters in absurd situations.”\r\n\r\n<b>Disaster unfolds in three acts</b>\r\n\r\nThe three act play begins at a late night final rehearsal, when egos, exhaustion and a lack of talent combine to create hilarious chaos. In the second act halfway through the play’s run, the set “flips” to allow the audience to see what goes on backstage as everything that could go wrong, has. The final act is on stage for the combative and exhausted company’s final performance of its 12-week tour. Actors forget their lines and improvise, shrieks and sounds of falling are heard from backstage, and the play collapses into comical catastrophe.\r\n\r\nRomping through this British bedroom farce are seasoned actors from Beaufort, Sun City, Okatie and Ridgeland. <b>Alan Purdy</b> plays the frustrated and randy director, Lloyd Dallas, and his English accent is the real thing. Born in Britain, he moved from Canada to Bluffton in 1996. <b>Joellen Hirschey</b> plays ingénue Brooke Ashton, whose character Vicki spends most of the play clad only in a corset, garter belt and stockings on her 5’ 9” frame.  Joellen lives in Beaufort.\r\n\r\nPoppy Norton-Taylor is the put-upon assistant stage manager who might envy Brooke, her rival for Lloyd’s affections, but you can’t count her out yet.  She is played by Beaufort resident <b>Shawn Sproatt</b>. The part of Dottie Otley, a fading comedic grande dame with an eye for younger men, is played by Sun City resident <b>Elieen Waite</b>. Dottie adds a lot to the chaos with her forgotten lines and on-stage confusion.  <b>Jason Marion</b> plays Garry Lejeune, an arrogant and inarticulate actor with a violent jealous streak.  Jason lives in Beaufort.\r\n\r\nFreddy Fellowes is an overly apologetic and not-to-bright actor played by Beaufort native <b>Eddy Watson</b>.  He constantly questions Lloyd’s directions, usually with a comb in his hand or his pants down around his ankles. <b>Christine Grefe </b>of Ridgeland plays Belinda Blair, a cheerful, somewhat gossipy character who knows everyone’s business but may not be as straight-laced as she seems.\r\n\r\n<b>Benji Morgan</b> plays the boozy, aging actor Selsdon Mowbray, whose best days on the stage are far behind him.  His bottles are stashed all over the set and he is constantly disappearing.  Benji lives in Okatie. Tim Allgood, the over-worked stage manager for the bomb of a play, “Nothing On,” is played by Beaufort resident <b>Dave Helmer</b>.  Sleep-deprived Tim must follow every order from Lloyd, no matter how bizarre.\r\n\r\n<b>HELP Of Beaufort to benefit</b>\r\n\r\nTheater attendees are asked to bring a donation of non-perishable food to benefit HELP of Beaufort, a faith-based, nonprofit, volunteer organization.\r\n\r\nPerformances are at USCB Center for the Arts Theatre at 801 Carteret Street on April 6, 12 and 13 at 7:30 p.m. and April 7 and 14 at 3:00 p.m.  Adults $20; Seniors $18; Students $15.  The Box Office is open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. weekdays and one hour prior to curtain.  Call 843-521-4145.\r\n<div></div>', 'Classic British farce ‘Noises Off’ comes to USCB', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'classic-british-farce-noises-off-comes-to-uscb', '', '', '2013-04-03 21:26:06', '2013-04-04 01:26:06', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=10574', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Know, however, the chemicals found in conventional cleaners can be more dangerous than the dirt they’re intended to clean.\r\n\r\nIn 2008, the Washington, D.C., based Environmental Working Group conducted a study to determine the effects of cleaning solutions on our pets, and found high levels of toxic chemicals from household cleaners in dogs and cats. For dogs, blood and urine samples were contaminated with 35 chemicals, including 11 carcinogens, 31 chemicals toxic to the reproductive system, and 24 neurotoxins.\r\n\r\nObviously the cleaners, waxes, and stain barriers we use on our floors and carpets are critical – dogs spend a lot of time lying, sitting, and walking “barefoot” on these areas, and guaranteed will find something to lick off the floor or off their paws. Products that claim to be safe may not be. Descriptions like “natural”, “eco-friendly, “non-toxic,” or, frighteningly, even “organic” don’t ensure a product is safe.  Remember what’s printed on the package has little to do with what’s IN the package. Toxic products can be marketed as “pure,” “gentle,” “hypoallergenic” and “organic” due to labeling loopholes.\r\n\r\nWhen we, and our pets, inhale or ingest toxins from cleaners, the poisons go directly into the bloodstream and then to the internal organs. Cancer is the #1 killer of our canine companions in the U.S. and Canada today.  Weakened immune systems can open the door to cancer. Toxins weaken immune systems. Conventional products can contain toxic ingredients with unknown long-term side effects that you may want to avoid such as phthalates, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), phosphates, petrochemicals, petroleum-based by-products, and chlorine bleach. It appears those chemical cleaners are not such a good idea, after all.\r\n\r\nThe good news is that using non-toxic cleaners is easy, they can clean as well as the commercial products, they won’t hurt your Best Friend, and they cost much less. With a little preparation (half an hour at the grocery store and half an hour of mixing your own cleaners), you can have a sparkling house, make your home safe for you, your children and your pets; and you’ll save money doing it.\r\n\r\nIngredients to consider: white vinegar, lemon juice, baking soda, Castile soap, tea tree oil, olive oil, empty plastic spray bottles, jars with tops, reusable dusting cloths, old cloth towels or diapers, spatula or cardboard (useful for scooping up solids), club soda, plastic bristle scrub brush and/or dobie-type of sponge, permanent marker to label each container.  Recipes and green cleaning suggestions abound online.\r\n\r\nBut before you start moving the furniture and vacuuming like my mother, consider how your dog will react to the abrupt changes in the house, the increased activity level and certainly, the different smells.\r\n\r\n<b>Dogs and Dust:</b> Dogs that have respiratory issues or are sensitive to dust and airborne allergens — especially short-nosed breeds like bulldogs and pugs — should visit with a pup friend until the dust settles (literally).\r\n\r\n<b>Who’s underfoot?</b> Some dogs can’t resist the urge to help you do your chores — especially when you’re scrubbing their precious treasures. For safety, make sure your pet is not nearby while you’re cleaning, particularly when you’re slinging the vacuum or spraying your vinegar solution.\r\n\r\n<b>Keep your dog calm.</b> If your pet equates any disruption in the house with his world coming to an end, it’s best to send him on a play date until you’re finished with your spring-cleaning.\r\n\r\nReward yourself for creating an immaculate space by treating your Best Friend to a new fashion collar or toy you can play with together.\r\n<div></div>', 'Spring cleaning your dog can live with', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'spring-cleaning-your-dog-can-live-with', '', '', '2013-04-04 08:45:22', '2013-04-04 12:45:22', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=10591', 0, 'post', '', 0);

For people, it means we could be smarter and better looking. For wine, it means new, and better in their own way, flavors and textures. Of course, some of us almost never have the time or the inclination to age our wines. And, even if we did at one point in our lives, as we get older it gets less likely that we want to buy wines that we have to age. Who knows if they’ll be ready to drink before we can get to them. And, then some doctor puts us on a prescription that doesn’t work with alcohol. Ugh!  So, even though some aged wines may be better, we are not always able to go down that road.\r\n\r\nBut, we are now started on a road, talking about aging wines. When you think about it, wine is one of the only consumable products that can get better with age. (Well, some wines.) The ability of any one wine to age is based on a lot of factors — grape variety, vintage, how the wine was made (viniculture) and the style of the wine. And, once the winery has done its part, how the wine is stored. And, yes, storage conditions can be cumbersome and expensive. Plus, there’s the fact that you buy the wines and don’t get to enjoy them until they’re the right age.\r\n\r\nThe understanding of the potential of wines to age goes back to the ancient Greeks and Romans. In Greece, they had what were called “straw wines” that could age because of their high sugar content. In Rome, two of the most sought after wines were Falernian and Surrentine, because of their ability to age for decades. The Greek physician Galen wrote that the taste of aged wine was desirable and it could be achieved by heating or smoking wines. To his credit, he also said that naturally aged, really older wines, were better than the “man made” aged wines.\r\n\r\nAfter the fall of the Roman Empire, aged wines and any desire for them was almost nonexistent. At that time, most of the wines produced in Europe were light bodied, pale colored and low in alcohol. Aging most of them longer than a couple of months resulted in vinegar. Yum! Over time, Europeans learned to enjoy heavier, fuller bodied and fortified wines, many of which could be aged. Large cellars of aging wines became popular, if you could afford it.  Jancis Robinson, a Master of Wine and widely published wine writer, says that, today, only about 10 percent of red wines and 5 percent of white wines actually taste any better with age. She also says that only about the top 1 percent of all wines made are age worthy. Of course, part of this becomes a personal choice, depending on the style of wine you prefer.\r\n\r\nGenerally, wines with a low pH, like Pinot Noir and Sangiovese, have greater aging capability. Red wines, with high levels of flavor compounds (phenolics that include tannins), are more likely to age successfully. Grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon, Nebbiolo and Syrah have more of these phenols; phenols come from the skins of the grapes. White wines, with high levels of acidity, age better. Since white wines are made without skin contact they have almost no phenols so the acidity levels matter more with these wines. (Barrel fermenting or aging of white wines can give them some phenols from the wood, just not enough to change their aging potential.) The hard part of all this is learning what “they” mean by more phenols and more acidity. No matter what grape a wine is made from, there is just no set rule on how long that grape will age.  One Merlot can age two years, another might go 10 years. One Riesling, again, might last two years, another might age 30 years. And all we’re talking about here is grape variety, vintage, viniculture and style. Going into proper storage conditions for aging wines at home is probably too much to get into right now.\r\n\r\nSo, just a bit more about what happens to a wine as it ages. The tannins in a red wine, which can be very harsh and coarse feeling in our mouth with a young wine, become smoother and softer feeling. The acidity of a white, although the actual amount of acidity stays the same, also softens, as a texture, as its wine ages. The aromas and flavors of aging wines also develop. They become more complex, more interwoven with each other, and  can also multiply from five or six in a  young wine to dozens in older wines. Yes, aging can be a good thing!\r\n\r\nAnd now, it’s wine time. Cosentino Winery was built in 1990. Actually, Mitch Cosentino started making wine in Modesto, in 1980. But, 10 years later, he moved to Napa because he dreamed of being a great Napa winemaker. He has great skills and knowledge of his grapes and soils where they grow. And a great palate. He is able to make wines that not only taste good when they are released, but that also have good aging potential. (A treat in the Cosentino tasting room is to taste multiple vintages of one wine. A treat and an education.) This week we get to try slightly aged wines, a red and a white.\r\n\r\n<b>The Cosentino Poet</b> is a blend of 80 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, 12 percent Cabernet Franc and 8 percent Merlot. It is rich with dark fruit flavors (dark plums, blackberries, bing cherries, pomegranate), cedar, spices and toasty oak. And the tannins? Smooth, integrated into and all around the flavors, so they are part of the wine, not a separate texture just hanging around waiting for something to do. And all this is in the 2006 vintage. And, for a reduced price of $19.97. (Normally this wine is about twice that much.) The <b>Cosentino Novelist</b> is a white blend. Seventy-seven percent Sauvignon Blanc and 23 percent Semillon. Both of these varieties have good acidity levels. Lemon blossoms, honeydew melon and a lovely creaminess mark this wine. Some hints of baking spices (cinnamon, clove, nutmeg) and lemon zest pop too. The vintage is 2008.  And, again, at a reduced price, $12.97.\r\n\r\nSo, now we have the opportunity to try some wines, duly aged at the winery. They are both very special, and, maybe, may start some of us on a new course of wine drinking. Just like each of us has the same personality we did when we were children, just more developed and well rounded now that we’re older, these two wines are more than they were. Older can be better — for us and for our wines. Enjoy.\r\n<div></div>', 'Older is a good thing', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'older-is-a-good-thing', '', '', '2013-04-04 08:47:54', '2013-04-04 12:47:54', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=10594', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Located in Beaufort Town Center in the former home of The Pizza Inn, the Mongolian Grill held its grand opening in mid-March and we were all curious to see what it has to offer.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_10597\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"300\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/DSC_0070.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-10597\" alt=\"At So Hot Mongolian Grill, diners choose the kind of meat and vegetables and sauce they want in their stir fry, along with their choice of rice or noodles.\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/DSC_0070-300x199.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" /></a> At So Hot Mongolian Grill, diners choose the kind of meat and vegetables and sauce they want in their stir fry, along with their choice of rice or noodles.[/caption]\r\n\r\nThe high ceilings and clean lines create an inviting atmosphere, and last Friday there were many other lunch patrons nestled in the leather-backed booths or sitting in groups at big tables.\r\n\r\nThe Lunch Bunch had a big group since we were accompanied by April and her teenage daughter and her friends, so we were fortunate to have a table in the semi-private room in the back.\r\n\r\nWe ordered the appetizer sampler with familiar sides such as spring rolls, crab rangoon and fried pot stickers.\r\n\r\nI had never been to a Mongolian eatery before, so the process was new to me. Here’s how it works: You are given two bowls at your table. You take your bowls up to the food bar and fill one with salad and salad fixins. You fill the other bowl with your choice of raw meats — beef, chicken, shrimp, crab, sausage an scallops — and pick from a large array of raw vegetables and sauces. Then you take your bowl to the chefs working at the big hibachi/stir fry grill and select your choice of either Thai or Lo Mein noodles or white, brown or fried rice. You return to your seat and when your plate is cooked, the waiter brings it to your table.\r\n\r\nI filled my bowl with chicken and beef for my meats then broccoli, mushrooms, carrots and water crescents <a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/DSC_0068.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-10598\" alt=\"DSC_0068\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/DSC_0068-300x199.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" /></a>for my vegetables. It was hard to choose between the sauces, they all sounded so good. With options that range from coconut curry to teriyaki, and from mild to very spicy, I opted for the ginger soy.\r\n\r\nI liked having control over my ingredients and immensely enjoyed my freshly cooked meal.\r\n\r\nSo Hot Mongolian Grill is in Beaufort Town Center, 2121 Boundary Street, Suite 103.

Club members dance the Shag to Carolina Beach Music, a genre different from surfing music such as The Beach Boys, Jan and Dean, and Dick Dale. Carolina Beach Music’s roots are deep in Rhythm and Blues, and it has branched out to new artists who understand the Shag and create music that sings to the dance and its carefree lifestyle. Often, it incorporates some country, pop, and Motown: dancers can Shag to almost any kind of music — if the beat’s right.\r\n\r\nThe Beaufort Shag Club offers a four-week beginners’ class and a four-week intermediate class. The lessons progress from the basic Shag step through intermediate moves. At the end of the eight weeks, new dancers will feel comfortable taking to the floor at any Shag event.\r\n\r\nThe club also has a Junior Shag program aimed at young people, who are an important part of the picture since the club’s goal is to keep the Shag tradition alive by passing the dance on to the next generation. Lessons are offered several times a year to introduce the dance to young people, to develop the dancing and social skills, and to demonstrate our affection for the Shag.\r\n\r\nEveryone is welcome to join the club and to learn how to Shag. Lessons are not required for membership, but they are available at no cost to members. Once a member, you can register for lessons by contacting the club’s Vice President, Judy Dayner, at daynerjudy@gmail.com.\r\n\r\nFor more information about the Beaufort Shag Club, please visit the club’s website, www.beaufortshagclub.com to check out all the particulars and to download a membership application, or contact Dave Olszewski, Club President, by phone at 843-522-1918, or by email at boardwalk43@aol.com.', 'Beaufort Shag Club keeps dance tradition alive', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'beaufort-shag-club-keeps-dance-tradition-alive', '', '', '2013-04-04 08:51:47', '2013-04-04 12:51:47', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=10600', 0, 'post', '', 0),

I moved back with my wife, Amy, and our (now 3.5 year old) daughter, Evelyn, nearly three years ago after having lived in Charleston for 8 years.  I’ve been working here for the last four years.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_10618\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"214\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Vol-Spotlight-Will-Achurch.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-10618\" alt=\"Will Achurch\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Vol-Spotlight-Will-Achurch-214x300.jpg\" width=\"214\" height=\"300\" /></a> Will Achurch[/caption]\r\n\r\n<b>Q: What organization do you represent?</b>\r\n\r\n<b>A:</b> I currently serve as the Director at Large and as a member of the Finance &amp; Military Affairs Committees for the Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce, and I also serve on the board of the Exchange Club of Beaufort.  I am currently in the Chamber’s Leadership Beaufort Program (Go Blue).  In addition, I coordinate litter cleanups for my Exchange Club at the Broad River Boat Ramp as a part of the Adopt a Highway program.\r\n\r\n<b>Q: How did you first get involved with these organizations?</b>\r\n\r\n<b>A:</b> As a business banker, it is essential to be involved in the area Chamber of Commerce, as it is the best way to gain understanding of the local economy and have an impact on its progression.  Blakely Williams, the Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce President, personally extended an invitation to me and my company soon after I started working in Beaufort, and I’ve been increasingly involved ever since.\r\n\r\nRon Voegeli of the Exchange Club of Beaufort asked me if I’d like to come to one of their meetings.  The timing was good, as I’d been considering joining a civic club.  The factors that led me to join the Exchange Club were three fold: 1) The members are so nice and down to earth; 2) The club is very active in volunteering and raising money for important organizations, like CAPA;  and 3) I could tell that the club would support my efforts and take part in keeping our environment clean and beautiful.\r\n\r\n<b>Q: Describe one of your most memorable experiences as a volunteer. </b>\r\n\r\n<b>A:</b> One experience that stands out to me was the time I spent volunteering at a local food bank, as part of a Leadership Beaufort assignment.  I was struck by the vast need that exists in our own community for one of the most basic elements of survival.  Nearly every recipient was appreciative of the food they were receiving, and it was clear that they’d all come to be in their particular situation from different points of origin. The experience was a great reminder of how fortunate our family is, and also how it only takes one or two strokes of bad luck for many of us to end up in a similar situation.\r\n\r\n<b>Q: When not volunteering, what other activities do you enjoy?</b>\r\n\r\n<b>A:</b> I love going to Hunting Island with my wife, Amy, and our daughter, Evelyn.  The three of us have a fondness for nature, and there’s a variety of ways to explore the great outdoors at Hunting Island State Park.  I also enjoy surfing, boating, and riding bikes with my brother, Robert.\r\n\r\n<b>Q: What do you like best about Beaufort?</b>\r\n\r\n<b>A:</b> Being from Beaufort, I’m obviously a little biased, but what’s not to like? The people are friendly and open, and come from all sorts of backgrounds.  Our small town has a multitude of activities to enjoy, including outdoor adventures, cultural and dining experiences, and an event or festival nearly every week of the year.  But I think that part I like best of all, is our natural surroundings.

It’s one of their most enchanting characteristics; living in the moment and being grateful for what they have.  Every walk is thrilling. Every car ride brings the possibility of adventure. Each rub is so pleasurable it must simply not end!  Even an old sock can be fascinating.  Here are a few suggestions to create a bonding moment with your Best Friend, sure to result in the dog version of a smile:\r\n\r\n<b>1. Under-collar scratch:</b> Most of us miss this vital spot, but your dog will let you know it’s one of his faves.\r\n\r\n<b>2. Listen to his heartbeat: </b>place your head on your dog’s chest when he’s at rest and sing a little song to the rhythm. Duke of Earl is a common selection.\r\n\r\n<b>3. Pup Pilates:</b> If you do yoga or other floor exercises, let your pal join you on the mat. Most dogs like to be under Downward-Facing Dog.\r\n\r\n<b>4. Scratch and sniff:</b> The next time your dog sniffs you, sniff him back! Make it loud and reciprocal. (In Dogland, this is perfectly acceptable social protocol.  Your dog will be delighted you made the gesture.)\r\n\r\n<b>5. Bring you dog to work day: </b>Assuming your cohorts are amenable and your dog isn’t a hoodlum, what is more wonderful than a day of new smells and adoration. No wonder you go there everyday!\r\n\r\n<b>6. Find the blind spot: </b>Scratch the hard-to-reach places on your chubby dog friend. Sometimes they just can’t reach the itch.\r\n\r\n<b>7.  Iambic petameter:</b> Compose a poem in honor of your dog’s quirky traits and recite it out loud, often.  Be sure to use his name.\r\n\r\n<b>8. Pupscicles for the Dog Days:</b> Freeze a morsel of kibble or a bit of hot dog in ice cubes for when it’s too hot to move. Count how many licks it takes your pal to find the surprise. Or, how many licks ‘til he decides to cut to the chase.\r\n\r\n<b>9. Call of the Wild:</b> Make it a ritual with each full moon to join your dog outside for a Howl-at-the-Moon free-for-all.  Letting loose with a howl is liberating for both of you. Next full moon is April 25.\r\n\r\n<b>10. Bombs away:</b> Use a slingshot or Chuck-it to wing a treat to the end of the yard for a game of hunt and snack.\r\n\r\n<b>11. Sing a little song:</b> Slip your dog’s name into the Banana-fana song. Caution — if your dog’s name is Tucker, you might want to sing it in the privacy of your home.\r\n\r\n<b>12. Frisbee snack:</b> Incorporate a little exercise into treat time by tossing unsalted, unflavored miniature rice cakes across the back yard for your dog to chase.\r\n\r\n<b>13. Chill seeking:</b> Rub your dog down with a cold, wet towel on a hot, hot day.  If you can remember to take it out of the freezer, an icy cold towel is even better!\r\n\r\n<b>14. Treat fairy:</b> While your dog is asleep, try to sneak a treat under his pillow. Everyone likes waking up to a surprise.\r\n\r\n<b>15. High-level massage:</b> The bony peak atop your dog’s head is the nuchal crest. While it has no known purpose, scholars of High Woo postulate it may be your dog’s antennae for mystical energies. Good idea to massage regularly for maximum reception.\r\n\r\n<b>16. Almost tetherball:</b> Tie a balloon on a string just out of reach to your ceiling fan and let it spin on low.  Cats enjoy this one, too.\r\n\r\nAll dogs love a little, special silly time for bonding and family play.

(10641, 4, '2013-04-11 13:31:41', '2013-04-11 17:31:41', '<b>By Celia Strong</b>\r\n\r\nChianti is probably one of the best known and most consumed of Italian red wines. Ten years ago, I could probably have said of all Italian wines, but Pinot Grigio way overshadows it. But, today, we are on Chianti and we have a lots of fun things to talk about, so let’s get to it!\r\n\r\nChianti, in all its various levels, comes from the Italian wine region of Tuscany. The region is about 8,900 square acres and is located on the west coast of Italy, just north of Rome. Chianti is a province in Tuscany, first defined as a wine area in 1716.  There were three villages (Gaiole, Castellina and Radda) that became Provincia del Chianti. In 1932, the Chianti area was redrawn and divided into seven sub-zones (Classico, Colli Arentini, Colli Fiorentini, Colline Pisane, Colli Senesi, Montalbono, and Rùfina). Today, the majority of Chiantis are either Chianti DOCG or Chianti Classico DOCG. These two together are the largest volume produced of all Italian wines. Red or white. (We have talked about the legal levels of Italian wines, DOCG is the highest and regulates origins, grape varieties, some techniques of growing and wine making,  and more sometimes.)\r\n\r\nThe earliest record of Chianti wine goes back to the 13th century.  Actually, a record from 1398 mentions a white Chianti wine. In 1716, Cosimo III de’ Medici, Grand  Duke of Tuscany, issued an edict defining the Chianti area. This delineation lasted until 1932, when the Italian government expanded it a bit and, then in 1967, another expansion that is still current.\r\n\r\nBy the 18th century, Chianti was widely known as a red wine. These wines, though, were different than the Chiantis we know today. Grape varieties were varied and not consistent. An Italian statesman, Bettino Ricasoli, developed the modern “recipe” for Chianti. This is when it became a Sangiovese based wine — 70 percent Sangiovese, 15 percent Canaiolo, 10 percent Malvasia, later to include Trebbiano also, and 5 percent other local red varieties. In 1967, the DOC laws that govern Italian wine used Ricasoli’s basic blend of Sangiovese with 10 to 30 percent Malvasia and Trebbiano. (Another red wine with white grapes in it.)\r\n\r\nThe late 19th century, for Tuscany and Italy in general, was a period of economic and political difficulties, and the time when phylloxera invaded their vineyards also. Talk about troubles. During the 1970’s, producers started to reduce the amount of white grapes that they used in Chianti, and, in 1995, it became legal to make Chianti with 100 percent Sangiovese.\r\n\r\nMore trouble came in the form of a popular consumer trend toward cheap, easy-drinking wines. It did help revive Chianti vineyards, but left the reputation of Chianti DOCG somewhat less than wonderful.  By the end of the 20th century, a large number of wine drinkers thought of Chianti as the light, basically mediocre red wine that came in short, fatter bottles, all covered with straw. (These bottles were rounded on the bottom, and  the straw was used to help them stand upright. Really, who wants a round-bottom bottle rolling around on the dinner table?  These bottles, with their straw covers, were called “fiascos.” But they made it possible for Chianti to be exported.)\r\n\r\nChiantis are sometimes called the “Bordeaux of Italy,” due in part to the flexibility of their “recipe.”  Lighter style Chianti wines have more white grapes in them, and heavier, richer ones have more red varieties, particularly Cabernet Sauvignon. Even though only 15 percent maximum of Cabernet is allowed, its flavors and textures tend to dominate the Chiantis it is in. Basic Chianti is characterized by medium acidity and medium tannins. This makes it very food friendly with Italian cuisine — red/tomato sauces and beef, lamb and game. It has juicy fruit notes with cherry, plum, and raspberries. These wines are best at 3 to 5 years old.  Chiantis that are aged 38 months can be labeled “riserva.”  (Regular aging is only four to seven months.)\r\n\r\nAnother fun and interesting part of the Chianti story is the black rooster (“gallo nero”) that appears on some bottles. This was chosen as a symbol, for early producers of Chianti Classico only, before all the wine laws were codified. Some bottles still have this rooster on them because these wineries have been around long enough to have been members of this consortium.  Really, though, the Italian DOC wine laws protect us from buying fake Chiantis.  All Chianti wines are DOCG level, the highest in Italy.  Not all are from a sub-zone and not all are “riserva.”  “Riserva” refers to the amount of time that the wine is aged, before being released for sale.\r\n\r\nOur Chianti this week is described by its producer as a Chianti re-imagined. A modern interpretation of a classic. It is <b>Melini Chianti Riserva</b>.  Melini is a Tuscan winery founded in 1705 by Adolpho Labourel Melini.  It is one of Chianti’s oldest and most historic that owns more than 1,200 acres, both Chianti and Chianti Classico. Throughout its history, the winery has always embraced innovations to help improve the quality of their wines. Like when Adolpho started pasteurizing his wines 30 years before Louis Pasteur wrote about it. Really. Melini wines are considered to be the essence of Tuscany, an international, fruit-forward style. The grapes for our wine, 85 percent Sangiovese, 15 percent others, are sourced from select vineyards. Selected for their soil, climate and sun exposure. The soil is loose, gravelly, made up of schist and limestone. The vines are thickly planted.\r\n\r\nAfter harvest, the grapes are cold macerated on their skins for three to four days, then fermented, cold, in stainless steel. (Cooler fermenting temperatures augment the fruit flavors in a wine.) The wines are aged in French oak casks for 18 months, and in their bottles for three to six months more. The current vintage is 2009. This wine is bright ruby colored with aromas of raspberry, blackberry and a touch of violets — often a subtlety in good Chiantis. The flavors are medium bodied with soft, jammy fruit flavors and a baking spice undertone. A mild acidity makes for a perfect finish on this wine.\r\n\r\nJust so you know, this is the first, and only, Chianti Riserva I have ever seen or tasted. And, it’s so nice to have one finally because it’s really very good. And only $10.99. So I can have it often. And you too.

Proceeds from all sales directly benefit the Spring Island Trust, whose mission is to insure the preservation and protection of the island’s environment and cultural history.\r\n\r\nAlthough occasional construction digs still occur, most of the plants offered by the Native Plant Project are grown from seed, harvested as volunteers or obtained through division of or cuttings from mature plants.\r\n\r\nA few notable facts:\r\n\r\n• Since 2009, more than 11,000 native plants have been returned to the landscape.\r\n\r\n• Karl Ohlandt (staff Landscape Ecologist) manages a database with detailed cultivation information and images of over 100 species of native plants.\r\n\r\n• More than 70 Spring Island members serve as volunteers.\r\n\r\n• An on-island nursery holds up to 6,000 plants, representing over 100 native species.\r\n\r\n• For more information, visit www.springislandtrust.org and click on the Native Plant Project tab.\r\n\r\n• The Spring Native Plant Sale will be held Saturday, April 13 from 8:30 a.m. to noon at the Walker Landing Ball Field.\r\n<div></div>', 'Plant Project grows on Spring Island', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'plant-project-grows-on-spring-island', '', '', '2013-04-11 13:40:13', '2013-04-11 17:40:13', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=10656', 0, 'post', '', 0),

(10664, 4, '2013-04-11 13:43:24', '2013-04-11 17:43:24', '<b>By Jay Bender</b>\r\n\r\nIn 1840 the State of South Carolina stole 144,000 acres of land that had been reserved to the Catawba Indian Tribe by the British Crown in 1760. Litigation in 1980 resulted in a settlement among the state, the tribe and the federal government nearly 20 years later.\r\n\r\nAs a part of that settlement, the tribe gave up the right to have casino gambling under the federal Indian Gaming Regulatory Act in exchange for the right to have two high stakes bingo operations in the state.\r\n\r\nThe state’s chief negotiator, Crawford Clarkson, then head of the State Tax Commission, characterized the tribe’s bingo as “the best game in the state” with the dual purpose of providing a stream of income to sustain the tribe economically and competition to force shady mock charity bingo operators out of business.\r\n\r\nThe plan worked to the benefit of the tribe and the state initially, but then the General Assembly passed legislation to improve the competitive position of charity bingo halls.  More devastating to the tribe’s bingo revenue was the state becoming a gaming competitor with the lottery. Once the lottery was in place, tribal bingo revenue diminished to the point that it was no longer feasible to operate a bingo hall.\r\n\r\nRep. John Spratt and Sen. Fritz Hollings worked with tribal and political leaders in Orangeburg County and the Town of Santee to devise a plan to relocate the tribe’s bingo hall in Rock Hill to an unused shopping near the intersection of I-26 and I-95.  This new bingo hall would feature electronic bingo and would resemble a casino in its design.  The hall would not, however, be a casino and would not offer any games but bingo.\r\n\r\nThe advantage of the electronic bingo compared to church basement bingo was that it could be linked to other electronic bingo halls on other Indian reservations increasing the size of pots players could win.  A parallel can be seen in the multi-state lottery games. More players equal bigger prizes.\r\n\r\nThe tribe’s legislation had the support or acquiescence of all members of the South Carolina delegation in Washington. The bill was in the Senate Commerce Committee and the chances of passage looked good.\r\n\r\nThe Orangeburg County Council, the Clarendon County Council and the Santee Town Council all backed the proposal. An analysis of the project by a University of South Carolina economist concluded that the economic impact of the bingo hall and related tourism activities generated by it would be comparable in that part of the state to the impact of BMW in the Upstate.  Hundreds of people would be employed in the bingo operation and hundreds more in businesses trading on increased tourist traffic as Santee became a destination and not just a gas stop along I-95.\r\n\r\nMark Sanford was governor, but he couldn’t stop the legislation within the South Carolina delegation so he called on a friend from his days in Congress, now a member of the Senate, to put a “hold” on the bill to keep it from being considered.\r\n\r\nMark Sanford told representatives of the tribe that he was opposed to the bingo hall on moral grounds.\r\n\r\nThe senator Mark Sanford called on to kill the bill was John Ensign of Nevada.\r\n\r\nConsider the morality of Sanford and Ensign working to deny the tribe and the people of the Santee area a strong economic development opportunity.\r\n\r\nSanford’s “stopper” had an extra-marital affair with the wife of a staff member.  Ensign’s family, owners of one of the largest casino operations in the world, paid the staff member thousands of dollars to forgive the sins of John Ensign.\r\n\r\nMark Sanford spent state money to divert an economic development trip to Argentina so he could rendezvous in Buenos Aires with his paramour.\r\n\r\nLater, Sanford had his staff tell the world he was hiking the Appalachian Trail, when he was in fact thousands of miles away committing adultery.\r\n\r\nMark Sanford has no geographic or moral compass, but may find his way back to Washington where he can posture and obstruct with no regard for the lives of the people he damaged with his phony anti-gambling morality.\r\n<div></div>', 'Morality and Mark Sanford', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'morality-and-mark-sanford', '', '', '2013-04-11 13:43:24', '2013-04-11 17:43:24', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=10664', 0, 'post', '', 0),

We can, however, change the way our own children look at money. Here are some important lessons to teach your children about their money:\r\n\r\n<b>1. Money Does Not Grow On Trees. </b>Children do not understand, at least not at first, that there is not an unlimited supply of money at the bank, or on the credit card. Explain to them the process that they can only buy what you have money to pay for.\r\n\r\n<b>2. Saying “No” To Some Unnecessary Things</b>. One of the most valuable lessons a child can learn is to willingly choose to say “No” to some purchases — even if they want it. Do not give them money every time they want it — this teaches them that there is a bottomless supply, when there isn’t.\r\n\r\n<b>3. It Is Important To Save.</b> Besides saving for something that they really want, which is a good reason in itself, teach children to save for unexpected things. For instance, if they receive a regular allowance, or, are working after school and earning some money on their own, teach them to put aside a regular percentage, say 10% to 15%.\r\n\r\n<b>4. Establish A Budget. </b>Once your child is receiving a regular amount of money, you will want to show them how to plan for a wise use of that money. Help them to know how to set money aside for basically three different things: money to spend now, money for special purchases that require savings, and long-term savings.\r\n\r\n<b>6. Teach Them About Credit Cards. </b>Credit cards and checking accounts are similar in that they provide ease of purchase, but without the necessity of carrying cash. Your children only see you handing over the plastic, or another piece of paper. But they never see that cash is involved, it is behind the scenes to them. Show them how that you must pay monthly for both and that you should never buy more than what you can afford — except for some larger purchases — because the bills for it will come!\r\n\r\n<b>7. Give Regularly To Good Causes. </b>Probably one of the greatest joys that a child can have in the use of their own money is the joy that comes from willingly giving their money to causes greater than themselves. By learning to give some of their money often to causes such as their church, or a charity, they learn that their money can be a blessing to others.', 'Teach your children well', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'teach-your-children-well', '', '', '2013-04-11 13:44:13', '2013-04-11 17:44:13', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=10666', 0, 'post', '', 0),

When the alphabet is read to him, he blinks to let you know you have reached the desired letter until words and then sentences are formed. Under contract for a book prior to the stroke, Jean-do eventually begins the arduous process of “travel notes” from this seaside prison. On one of his excursions outside of the walls of the hospital, he discovers a view of the local lighthouse.  “Rigid and mute,” he places himself, “... under the protection of this brotherly symbol, guardian not just of sailors but of the sick — those castaways on the shores of loneliness.”\r\n\r\nCaptive, he is still free to float about like a butterfly. “There is so much to do!” he exclaims, noting that “on any given day he can set off for Tierra del Fuego or for King Midas’s court.” He considers that while he used to be a “master at recycling leftovers,” in today he is “cultivating the art of simmering memories ... the sour smell of a New York bar, the odor of poverty in a Rangoon market, little bits of the world.” He reveals that at times he “derives a guilty pleasure from his total lapse into infancy,” on other days, tears roll.\r\n\r\nAs memories surge past the mind’s eye, Jean-do realizes that he is much “like the sailor who watches as the home shore gradually disappears,” as he too is watching his past recede. We listen in as he confides that while “his old life still burns within ... more and more of it is reduced to the ashes of memory.”\r\n\r\nOn a different day and in a different mood, he revels in the familiarity of being dressed in his old clothes, “a symbol of continuing life. And proof that I still want to be myself. If I must drool, I may as well drool on cashmere.”\r\n\r\nI have never watched the movie adaptation of “The Diving Bell and the Butterfly” and failed to be impacted—with inspiration and with profound guilt. Jean-Dominique Bauby wrote a book with the use of one eye. In high contrast, I do so little with my two eyes, my two arms, my two legs. And you?

What, pray tell, could the pages of this book possibly enclose? What further words of encouragement or inspiration could this memoir spark, ignite or seek to find a flicker of hope within? We read her columns weekly, and get the underlining point that beauty goes deeper than just the exterior. We get it!\r\n\r\nWell, that, my dear friend, is exactly it. I want you to get it! According to Merriam-Webster, beauty is defined as “the quality or aggregate of qualities in a person or thing that gives pleasure to the senses or pleasurably exalts the mind or spirit”. Contrary to culture and our popular beliefs, I find it intriguing that the overall connotation of beauty is not described according to outer appearance or visual attractiveness, but as “qualities in a person.”\r\n\r\nYou see, Takiya La’Shaune Smith, as successful as she has been blessed to be, as friendly as most have come to know her, as happy, confident and self-assured as she is, and as beautiful as many have called her, once was not.\r\n\r\nTakiya La’Shaune Smith grew up in a home filled with disconnect, discord and depression which resulted in tons of low-self esteem, a poor lack of self-image and no value of self-worth at all. Takiya La’Shaune Smith grew up, carrying these traits well into her adulthood and because of lack of direction, anyone in her life to teach and reassure her that she was loved, beautiful, smart and worth it, she succumbed to a lifestyle less desired. Takiya La’Shaune Smith encountered hurt, both physical, mental and emotional from a string of abusive relationships because she thought this was all she ever deserved. Takiya La’Shaune Smith became a single mother by 21, had multiple encounters with the law by 23, drank, smoke and spiraled out of control by 25, was angry, mean and selfish through 27, never thought she was acceptably attractive until 29, and was homeless and broke by 31.\r\n\r\nSo, you see, Takiya La’Shaune Smith has a story and behind that story is a voice that needs to be heard. It’s the voice of your neighbor, hurting silently inside, but smiling on the outside. It’s the voice of that little girl who sits next to your kid in class, desperately longing to have what she sees you give. It’s the voice of those scantily-clad promiscuous teenage girls, whom you judge instead of encourage, not knowing that they have never been taught to respect themselves better. It’s the voice of your boss, who unjustly scolds you daily, because she is so full of anger due to the abuse she received the night before. It’s the voice of a bully, picking on a child because they are picked on at home, told they are nothing and never will be. It’s even the voice of that abusive man who needs to be freed by finding another way. Please, please, please ... listen to the voice.\r\n\r\nVisit www.Takiya-LaShaune.com for information, speaking engagements and to purchase books.\r\n\r\nIF YOU GO:\r\n\r\n<b>What: Pre-Launch Book Signing of “Never Forsaken”</b>\r\n\r\n<b>When: Monday, April 15, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.</b>\r\n\r\n<b>Where: Beautique Lash &amp; Brow, 2201 Boundary Street, Suite 203, Beaufort (located in Carolina Cove)</b>\r\n\r\n<b>Contact: www.Takiya-LaShaune.com </b>\r\n\r\n<b>What else: Open to the public with light refreshments and drinks.

The land consists of 229 acres of undeveloped river frontage, including more than 70 acres of maritime forest, a hammock island and all associated marshland.  This land was originally going to be developed with 70 homes, each with its own septic system, causing possible further degradation of the Colleton and Okatie rivers through damage from stormwater runoff. Because of this, the county felt it was environmentally important to buy and preserve the land from future development.\r\n\r\n“Pinckney Point could be the crown jewel of the Okatie/Colleton, connecting all protected properties to date, preserving a geographically unique landscape, and offering a central location from which to operate a regional conservation park complex. A true eco-tourism attraction,” said Open Lands Trust Executive Director, Patty Kennedy.\r\n\r\nPinckney Point will be acquired for $6.95M.\r\n\r\nThe second property voted on last Monday was a small parcel located in the Town of Port Royal at 601 Old Fort Road. The less than 1 acre of land is being acquired to provide better access to the Fort Frederick boat landing owned by the SC Department of Natural Resources, and the historic Fort Frederick site acquired by the Rural and Critical Lands Program in 2005.

Malinowski started working there in 1991, when he moved from Miami to Beaufort County with his wife, Liz.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_10700\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"224\"]<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Profile-Palmetto-Bank-Jan-e1365703526965.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-10700\" alt=\"Executive Vice President of Palmetto State Bank Jan Malinowski.\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Profile-Palmetto-Bank-Jan-e1365703526965-224x300.jpg\" width=\"224\" height=\"300\" /></a> Executive Vice President of Palmetto State Bank Jan Malinowski.[/caption]\r\n\r\nBefore Miami, Malinowski worked at banks all over Canada, the United States and Europe, including a two-year stint in Zurich, Switzerland.\r\n\r\nWhen it came time to decide whether the Malinowskis wanted to raise their children in a big city or a small town, settling down in Beaufort was a no-brainer, Malinowski said.\r\n\r\n“We realized Miami is a great place for a single person or a married couple without kids or a retired person,” he said. “Liz’s family is from South Carolina ... Coming to a small town from big cities was a change, but a pleasant one.”\r\n\r\nTheir three children — two sons and a daughter — are now ages 23, 21 and 18.\r\n\r\nMalinowski said working for international banks had its perks but the smaller operation allows for more freedom and less corporate red tape.\r\n\r\n“Some days I might be putting together a complex loan, others I’m running down someone to fix a leaky roof at one of the branches,” he said. “You have to wear a lot of hats and that’s what makes this fun.”\r\n\r\nMalinowski wears a lot of hats in other areas, too.\r\n\r\nHe belongs of the Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce, the Sea Island Rotary Club and a statewide group called the Certified Development Corporation.\r\n\r\nIt’s not hard to see that all those hats have a connection to development — in both a physical and social sense — for the northern parts of Beaufort County. It’s a topic Malinowski has invested a lot of time and thought.\r\n\r\nHe said he hopes to be appointed to a soon-to-be-formed chamber of commerce subcommittee dedicated to aiding Mayor Bill Keyserling and the Lowcountry Economic Alliance in attracting new businesses to the area.\r\n\r\nThe alliance — a group established between counties — has state tax money marked specifically for attracting new companies. Malinowski said the alliance would bring prospective clients to the area, and the chamber subcommittee would help show them what Beaufort has to offer.\r\n\r\n“The idea is that if someone does come into town, we can readily answer their questions,” he said, adding the chance to impress clients could also bring business to local caterers and entertainment businesses.\r\n\r\nThe area’s delicate ecological balance can make the argument for more development a contentious one, but Malinowski said taking care of the area’s low-income population and expanding the tax base shouldn’t be neglected.\r\n\r\n“What’s too much (development)?” he said. “The people who say (development) is too much, I say what’s the limit to too much poverty?”\r\n\r\n“We’re not going to get smoke stacks here, but we could certainly use more job creators,” he said. “What are the contingency plans for if the Air Base closes? ... We have to start taking a look for opportunities while we have the luxury of time and the resources to do so.”\r\n\r\nThe confidence for Beaufort’s future evolution comes from his experience in the area so far: Malinowski said the last 20 years of growth Beaufort County has been nothing less than “remarkable.”\r\n\r\n“When my wife and I got her in ’91, for example, Beaufort Memorial Hospital was an older 1950s-style operation,” he said. “We’ve seen it grow from a handful of doctors to a medical staff of close to 200 ... We have well-respected specialists in many areas.”\r\n\r\nAs a member of the bank, he’s also seen the first-hand effects of the economic downturn, but said he sees recovery happening.\r\n\r\nMalinowski’s youngest daughter is preparing to graduate high school this May, which will leave the house to Jan and Liz. Although the number of mouths to feed with be different, Malinowski said he’ll likely continue to do what he’s doing for the foreseeable future. The formation of the chamber subcommittee will likely take place in 30 to 60 days, Malinowski said, and there’s still plenty of people who need loans or financial help from his bank.\r\n\r\n“The bank has been successful over the years because we try to be consistent and stable,” he said. “We can’t be all things to all people ... But a good institution is made up of its people, and ours care immensely about their customers.”', 'Jan Malinowski: Local banker stays invested in evolution of northern Beaufort County', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'jan-malinowski-local-banker-stays-invested-in-evolution-of-northern-beaufort-county', '', '', '2013-04-11 14:06:23', '2013-04-11 18:06:23', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=10699', 0, 'post', '', 0),

This month-long event is a collaborative effort between law enforcement and a host of state and local agencies, aimed at creating public awareness of the effects of littering in South Carolina.\r\n\r\nThis year’s initiative will kick off with a media event to be held at the Broad River Boat Landing at 11 a.m. on April 16. During this event, a proclamation will be issued by Beaufort County Council and representatives from participating agencies will assemble to publicly recognize the many dedicated volunteers who work throughout the year to keep Beaufort County beautiful.\r\n\r\nThroughout the month, the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office Environmental Crime Unit will be increasing patrols and activities focused on litter reduction. Investigators will be targeting litter offenders, from those tossing garbage out the window of their vehicle, to commercial vehicles transporting uncovered loads. Citations for litter-related violations can and will be issued, with fines ranging from $200 to more than $1,000.\r\n\r\nDeputies will be present at several of the county’s drop-off centers, ensuring that refuse is properly transported and disposed of. And in addition to enforcement measures, Environmental Crime Unit investigators will provide educational opportunities through school presentations and public service announcements.\r\n\r\nMany community groups have already pledged participation by scheduling roadside clean-ups throughout the county. Citizens wishing to get involved in these collection efforts can contact any of the participating agencies: the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office, the South Carolina Litter Control Association, Keep South Carolina Beautiful, Keep Beaufort County Beautiful, Palmetto Pride, and the Beaufort County Public Works Department and Solid Waste and Recycling Section.\r\n\r\nFor more information regarding SC litter laws, visit: http://www.sclittercontrol.org/litterlaws.html.\r\n<div></div>', 'Zero Tolerance for Litter Campaign', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'zero-tolerance-for-litter-campaign', '', '', '2013-04-11 14:14:06', '2013-04-11 18:14:06', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=10709', 0, 'post', '', 0),

My Dad, a seventh grade history teacher, never smoked, never drank, and was a lifelong athlete. He died of a sudden heart attack while turkey hunting one morning before school. My Dad was only 43 years old and, up until this point, my life had been one of innocent, Norman Rockwell bliss.\r\n\r\nHowever, everything changed after my father died. Without going into too much detail, I will simply just say that a sad rage consistently festered inside me as I navigated through my teen years while attempting to deal with his loss. I left my hometown in Northwest Pennsylvania for the U.S. Marine Corps the day after I graduated high school and, shortly thereafter, my Mom (also a teacher) passed away from Leukemia. I was told later that my Mom’s last words were “Make it stop, make it stop. It hurts, it hurts.” Whatever barriers that remained against my constant internal fury and sorrow collapsed.\r\n\r\nI do not share all of the above for sympathy. I fully understand and respect the fact that everyone has their own life story and that those individual stories very likely contain chapters of sadness as well. I’m not seeking attention and I certainly take no pleasure in publicly sharing private emotional matters. I share the above this week, as opposed to my normal real estate related column, because I needed to say “Thank you” to Beaufort, both the place and the people, at this specific time.\r\n\r\nI came to Beaufort in 1993 to serve as a Drill Instructor at Parris Island. It was the first place I’d been stationed where I didn’t feel that the Marines were viewed by the local populace as fiscal cattle to be fed upon. As opposed to being treated like “walking camouflage dollar signs,” Beaufort seemed to just accept us as members of the community.  To make a long story short, I personally ended up finding happiness in Beaufort and, when I received orders to leave the area, I ended up choosing to leave the USMC instead of the Lowcountry.\r\n\r\nIt’s been 20 years now but I needed to finally publicly thank you Beaufort.\r\n\r\nI needed to thank you for blue skies and warm sunny days. I needed to thank you for strangers who wave and for the close friends we’ve come to know over the years. I needed to thank you for nights spent at the Water Festival and days spent on the river. I needed to thank you for the businesses that demonstrate that they value their patrons. I needed to thank you for allowing me the opportunity to support my family.  I needed to thank you for waving me through on the street as opposed to cutting me off and for smiling as opposed to glaring.  I needed to thank you for Hunting Island and, while I’m at it, for the Waterfront Park. I also really needed to thank you for oyster roasts.\r\n\r\nI could go on but, in short, I wanted to thank you Beaufort for giving me peace.  As I myself will be celebrating my 43rd birthday by the time you read this, I think it’s the best present a guy like me could have received.\r\n<div></div>', 'Rage, sorrow and thanks', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'rage-sorrow-and-thanks', '', '', '2013-04-11 14:14:51', '2013-04-11 18:14:51', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=10711', 0, 'post', '', 0),

(10741, 4, '2013-04-18 08:15:44', '2013-04-18 12:15:44', 'Coolidge, a 4-year-old good-natured, all around good guy Wheaten terrier,  spent the morning in the back yard doing general dog stuff — rooting around in the leaves, examining the bushes where the deer might have peed, sniffing the breeze, rolling in the sunspot.  Just as you get comfortably arranged on the couch for an afternoon with a  movie, Coolidge steps into the room, extends his head forward and while standing completely still begins to honk loudly and rhythmically.  His chest expands as he tries harder to inhale. He’s sucking for air so vigorously you’re sure he’s going to keel over. The episode continues for another 30 seconds, then it’s over and Coolidge heads to the kitchen to see if there’s anything left on the floor from lunch.\r\n\r\nBy this time the kids are in the room demanding to know what’s wrong with Coolidge, you are following him with a paper towel in one hand, just in case, while  scrambling for the phone to call the vet.  What on earth was that?\r\n\r\nMost likely it’s a reverse sneeze or to use the grown-up term, a pharyngeal gag reflex episode.  Reverse sneezing is a disconcerting event in which a dog makes unpleasant respiratory noises that sound like he is dying — or will die shortly.  It is similar to the noise made by a dog with a collapsing trachea, but reverse sneezing is a far simpler condition that usually doesn’t require any treatment.  It is called reverse sneezing because is sounds a bit like a dog inhaling sneezes.\r\n\r\nWhile there is no exact cause for reverse sneezing it is suspected to be an irritation of the soft palate and throat, resulting in a spasm.  During the spasm the dog’s neck will extend and the chest will expand as the dog tries harder to inhale.  The problem is that his trachea has narrowed and it’s hard for him to get the normal volume of air.\r\n\r\nAnything that irritates the throat can cause this spasm and subsequent sneeze. Coolidge might have snuffed up some pollen, a few mites or dust when he was dogging the back yard. Excitement, eating or drinking, exercise intolerance, perfumes, viruses, household chemicals, allergies or plain old post-nasal drip can also cause it. Brachycephalic dogs (flat faced breeds such as Pugs or Boxers) with elongated soft palates occasionally suck the palate into the throat while inhaling, causing the reverse sneeze.  Small dogs are more prone to it, possibly because they have smaller throats.\r\n\r\nReverse sneezing rarely requires treatment. When the sneezing stops, the spasm is over. But if you need to DO something, you can massage the dog’s throat, cover the dog’s nostrils (which makes a dog swallow clearing out the irritant), or you can try blowing into his nose. If you’re a stalwart pet owner and the episode doesn’t end quickly, you can try depressing the back of the dog’s tongue which will open up the mouth and aid in air moving through the nasal passages.\r\n\r\nIf reverse sneezing becomes a chronic problem rather than an occasional occurrence, your vet may need to get involved, checking for mites in the airway or investigating allergies. He might need to look up the nasal passages (rhinoscopy), and may even need to take a biopsy to determine the cause of the problem. Usually, however, no cause can be identified and you’ve just spent a bucket of money.\r\n\r\nSome dogs have these episodes their entire lives; some dogs develop the condition as the age. Certainly notify your vet if the severity or frequency of the episodes changes or if your dog develops a nasal discharge or a cough.\r\n\r\nBut for most ordinary dogs like Coolidge, the spasm is a temporary event that goes away on its own, leaving no after-effects save that his family is a little shaken.  Because reverse sneezing is not a severe problem, do not worry about leaving your dog home alone. If it occurs when you’re not there, the episode will most likely end on its own and your dog will have one more chapter in his secret life.\r\n<div></div>', 'What is that honking noise?!', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'what-is-that-honking-noise', '', '', '2013-04-18 08:15:44', '2013-04-18 12:15:44', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=10741', 0, 'post', '', 0),

(10748, 4, '2013-04-18 08:18:24', '2013-04-18 12:18:24', '<b>By Celia Strong</b>\r\n\r\nSince we learned last week that all Chiantis are not created equal, this week we get to learn that all wines from Tuscany, the region for Chianti, are not Chiantis.  In fact, some are other reds and some are whites; some are more expensive, some less expensive; some we’ll like and some, oops, maybe not. We just have to remember that no matter how each new wine turns out, we have at least enjoyed them together. We’ll try two wines this week, one a Tuscan red, one a white made by a Tuscan producer but not, strictly speaking, a Tuscan wine. But, we’re tough and we’re flexible and we can do two new wines!  And, back to Italy we go.\r\n\r\nFirst, let’s review a bit. It never hurts to have things repeated (especially if you heard them the first time with some alcohol involved). I find if you just nod your head, people never know what you know and what you might be hearing for the first time. They don’t need to know, either, hence the nodding. (Nodding like you know also covers your boredom and sleepiness if you’ve heard something before. Sorry if you’re doing that now.)  We know that Sangiovese is the predominant variety in Chiantis. From last week, we know that some wines made from this grape can be aged with success, meaning good results. Many wines based on Sangiovese, though, do not age well.  This is not a bad thing, for us, because we don’t all have the time or the inclination to sit around waiting for our wines to mature. And, further, we really do like some of our wines younger, more vibrant and with more pronounced fruit flavors. Many of the wines from Tuscany, other than Chianti, made with Sangiovese are IGT level wines. They are typical of their geographic origins. And, many of them are made by well known, good quality Chianti producers. With these wines, a producer can make everyday wines, use some grapes for blending with his Sangiovese that might not be allowed in his Chiantis,  or use percentages of blending grapes not allowed, play with ideas for new wines, have fun, and lots more. All of which I mention because that is the case with our winey for this week.\r\n\r\nAntinori, or more officially Marchesi Antinori, is a Tuscan winery that can trace its history back to 1385. In 1180, Rinuccio di Antinoro is recorded as making wine at the Castello de Combiate near Calenzano, a town in Tuscany. His castello (castle) was destroyed in 1202, and the family moved to Florence. There, they were involved in banking and silk weaving. In 1385, Giovanni di Piero Antinori joined the Guild of Winemakers in Florence. The official incorporation, as Fattoria dei Marchesi Lodovico e Piero Antinori, was recorded in 1898. Because of their early success, the family could afford to buy the Palazzo Antinori in 1506. The head of the family at that time, Alessandro Antinori, was one of the richest men in Florence, a short term situation because, like many Florentines, he was bankrupted by the effects of King Charles V of Spain. Apparently, Charles’ great triumphs in the new Americas, brought such huge amounts of gold that no matter how rich someone was in Italy, they just couldn’t keep up with all the gold. Of course, Charles did also invade parts of Italy in his dreams of expansion and wealth. Fortunately, the Antinori family prospered in the peace that followed. In 1861, Niccolò Antinori was given the title Marchesi, in part for his efforts toward the unification of Italy.\r\n\r\nIn 1900, Piero (a new one) Antinori bought several vineyards in the Chianti Classico area. This purchase included 47 acres at Tignanello. In 1924, his son Niccolò scandalized most of the Tuscan wine industry by mixing some Bordeaux grape varieties into his Chianti. (Remember, there were accepted formulas for Chianti, just no laws yet.) Over the following years, he continued to play with different blends, types of barrels, temperature control for fermentation and bottle aging of some of his wines.   Niccolò retired in 1966, and his son Piero took over and continued his father’s innovations. He worked with early harvesting of white grapes, different types of barriques (specific barrel sizes), stainless steel fermenting and malolactic fermentation in his red wines.  As logical and common as these practices are now, they were almost more than Tuscan traditions could stand.\r\n\r\nIn 1971, all the new came together for the Antinori winery with the release of their first wine called “Tignanello.”  Named for its vineyard, that contained Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc vines along with the Sangiovese,  this wine was not legally a Chianti Classico. Even though it was grown and made on legal soil. Not really the first Super Tuscan (that honor goes to Sassicaia and another winery), Tignanello had a massive impact on the region’s wine industry. It was such a great wine - it sold for more money than the best Chiantis, and still does, eventually forced law changes that had been based on century old wine traditions, and showed the world that Chianti wasn’t all that came from Tuscany.\r\n\r\nAt this point, and then we’ll get to this week’s wines, I have to tell you the story of where the Antinori name came from. It can be traced back to the 11th Century BC, and the city of Troy.  Prince Antenor, a Trojan, was spared in the attack of the city by the Greeks because he opened the gates to let their horse, the big Trojan Horse, in. After the battle, Prince Antenor fled, duh, and travelled up the Adriatic coast to become the founder of the city of Florence. Possibly, the House of Antinori derived their name from his. A nice story, and adds years to the family’s history.\r\n\r\nNow, our wines. Both of them, red and white, come under Antinori’s Santa Cristina label. The very first vintage of Santa Cristina was made in 1946. The current red wine is called, simply, <b>Toscana</b>. An IGT level wine, it is named for its place of origin. It is a blend, changing from year to year, of Sangiovese, mainly, with some Cabernet Sauvignon, some Merlot, maybe even some Syrah. This wine is always a combination of its heritage with hints of cherry and soil flavors, from the Sangiovese growing in Tuscan soil,  intermixed with rich fruit flavors (black cherry, blackberry, currant) and mild tannins. For our white wine, Santa Cristina has an <b>Orvieto</b>. This wine comes from Umbria, right next door to Tuscany. It is  DOC level wine, made mostly from Trebbiano. Light, crisp, always pleasant, perfect for warm weather. Both of these wines, at $10.99, can be ours for many meals and glasses to come. And they don’t have to be saved for Italian dinners either. They are way better than that.

Since his concerto debut in 2004 with Chicago’s Ravinia Festival Orchestra, he has performed throughout the U.S. and Canada, including concerts at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall, Carnegie Hall, the 92nd Street Y, the Metropolitan Museum, the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, Boston’s Gardener Museum, and the Marlboro Music Festival. He has also appeared at prestigious venues in Europe, such as the Barbican Centre of London, La Cité de la Musique in Paris, Amsterdam’s Royal Carré Theatre, Teatro Arcimboldi in Milan, and the Palais des Beaux Arts in Brussels.\r\n\r\nHighly regarded as a champion of contemporary music and as an improvisational artist, Mills earned a Grammy nomination for his work on a CD of Arnold Schoenberg’s music, released by NAXOS in 2005. He can also be heard on the Koch, Centaur, Tzadik, Max Jazz and Verve labels for compositions of Webern, Schoenberg, Zorn, Wuorinen, and others. As a member of the FLUX Quartet from 2001-2003, Mills performed music composed during the last 50 years (including the famous six-hour-long String Quartet No. 2 by Morton Feldman). In addition to frequent world premieres. Mills is co-founder of the Horszowski Trio and Duo Prism, a violin-piano duo with Rieko Aizawa, which earned 1st Prize at the Zinetti International Competition in Italy in 2006. With Ms. Aizawa, Mills became co-artistic director of the Alpenglow Chamber Music Festival in Colorado in 2010.\r\n\r\nViolinist Aaron Boyd, soloist, chamber musician, recording artist and teacher, began studying the violin at the age of 7. Boyd has concertized throughout the United States, Europe, Russia and Asia. He has participated in the Marlboro, La Jolla, Bridgehampton, Prussia Cove and Tanglewood music festivals and has collaborated with members of the Juilliard, Guarneri, Orion and Emerson Quartets, as well as the Beaux Arts Trio. Boyd has been a prizewinner in numerous competitions including the Ecoles D’art Americaines de Fontainebleau, the Klein Violin Competition, the Tuesday Music Society and the Pittsburgh Concert Society and was awarded a Proclamation by the City of Pittsburgh for his musical accomplishments.\r\n\r\nLike Mills, Boyd is deeply committed to the music of our time and has been involved in numerous commissions and premieres in concert and on record, including first recordings of the music of Milton Babbitt, George Edwards, and Morton Feldman. Mr. Boyd is also first violinist and founder of the Zukofsky Quartet (Quartet-in-Residence, Bargemusic); the only ensemble to have played all of Milton Babbitt’s notoriously difficult string quartets. A musician of wide stylistic interests, Mr. Boyd has played and recorded in collaboration with Jazz legend Dick Hyman, Chanteuse Badomi DeCesare, and appeared in concert on the mandolin with flutist Paula Robison. As a recording artist, Mr. Boyd can be heard on the Naxos, Tzadik, North/South and Innova labels. Mr. Boyd has been broadcast in concert by NPR, WQXR, and WQED, and was recently profiled by Arizona Public Television. He plays on the “ex Alard” Matteo Goffriller violin made in Venice in 1700.\r\n\r\nPrincipal violist of the San Diego Symphony and Mainly Mozart Festival Orchestra, Che-Yen Chen, will round out the guest artists for the evening.  This incredibly talented musician is the recipient of the First-Prize and the Amadeus Prize winner of the 10th London International String Quartet Competition, the First-Prize in the 2003 William Primrose International Viola Competition and the “President Prize” of the Lionel Tertis International Viola Competition.   Strad Magazine calls him a musician whose “tonal distinction and essential musicality produced an auspicious impression” and the San Diego Union Tribune noted that “the most impressive aspect of his playing was his ability to find not just the subtle emotion, but the humanity hidden in the music.”\r\n\r\nChen has appeared as guest principal violist with Los Angeles Philharmonic, San Francisco Symphony, Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and Canada’s National Arts Centre Orchestra. A former member of Lincoln Center Chamber Music Society Two and participant of the Marlboro Music Festival, he is a member of Camera Lucida, Concertante Chamber Players and The Myriad Trio, which just released its debut album, “The Eye of Night”.  Currently teaching at both the USC Thornton School of Music and California State University, Fullerton, Chen has previously served on the faculties of Indiana University South Bend, UC San Diego, San Diego State University and McGill University. As a laureate, Chen was invited to serve on the jury of the 2011 Primrose International Viola Competition.\r\n\r\nAnchoring the Quartet will be the versatile host and resident cellist Edward Arron. Besides his busy schedule as artistic director for the Metropolitan Museum chamber music series as well as a series that regularly performs in Beaufort, Columbia and Old Lyme, Connecticut, Arron is in great demand as a musician.  He has performed numerous times at Carnegie’s Weill and Zankel Halls, Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully and Avery Fisher Halls, New York’s Town Hall, and is a frequent performer at Bargemusic.  Past summer festival appearances include Ravinia, Salzburg, Mostly Mozart, BRAVO! Colorado, Tanglewood, Bridgehampton, Spoleto USA, Santa Fe, Seattle Chamber Music and Isaac Stern’s Jerusalem Chamber Music Encounters.\r\n\r\nThe concert is at 5 p.m. on Sunday, April 28 at the USCB center for the arts on Carteret Street.  For tickets, call Staci Breton at 843-208-8246, Monday – Friday 8:30 – 4:30.

Still ferocious, charismatic, and hilariously blunt, the now 88-year-old Koch ruled New York from 1978 to 1989 — a down-and-dirty decade of grit, graffiti, near-bankruptcy and rampant crime. First-time filmmaker (and former Wall Street Journal reporter) Neil Barsky has crafted an intimate and revealing portrait of this intensely private man, his legacy as a political titan, and the town he helped transform. The tumult of his three terms included a fiercely competitive 1977 election; an infamous 1980 transit strike; the burgeoning AIDS epidemic; landmark housing renewal initiatives; and an irreparable municipal corruption scandal. Through candid interviews and rare archival footage, Koch thrillingly chronicles the personal and political toll of running the world’s most wondrous city in a time of upheaval and reinvention.\r\n\r\n<b>Ratings &amp; Reviews:</b>  Rotten Tomatoes gave it a 87% approval  rating.\r\n\r\n“A canny balancing act, making Koch’s arrogance so plain that you quickly move past it and concede that he accomplished remarkable things.” – David Edelstein, New York Magazine\r\n\r\n“Though the film, more than two years in the making, was never intended as such, it plays like the kind of eulogy Koch would have approved — neither fawning nor eviscerating but always compelling,” Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times.\r\n\r\n“An uncommonly juicy subject for a documentary,” said Lou Lumenick, New York Post\r\n\r\n<b>Rated:</b> Not Rated.\r\n\r\nTickets for adults are $7, seniors $6, students $5.

(10777, 4, '2013-04-18 08:41:05', '2013-04-18 12:41:05', '<b>By Pamela Brownstein</b>\r\n\r\nAfter attending last week’s workshop for the Beaufort Civic Master Plan, I walked away with two conclusions. The first is that there are many residents who care about where they live and are vigilant about the planning process and want to make sure the city of Beaufort is aware of their concerns in regards to the long-term plans for their neighborhoods. The second conclusion I reached was that the officials leading the workshop seemed put off by the public input and were not taking seriously the concerns of the crowd.\r\n\r\nI have been interested and involved in the development of the Beaufort Master Plan since the beginning, having attended meetings and charettes for my neighborhood, known by the city as Sector 2, which encompasses the area West of Ribaut Road, including the Hermitage and Depot areas as well as TCL and Beaufort Memorial Hospital. It is a large area, with many different small neighborhoods, but overall it is residential with single family homes, where people enjoy quiet streets, but at the same time, their proximity to downtown.\r\n\r\nWith this description in mind, and the desire to preserve the character of our neighborhood, it is no wonder that the development and projects seen in the city’s Master Plan have raised concerns with many residents. The three main projects slated for Sector 2 would involve businesses, dense housing developments, and much more traffic.\r\n\r\nOf the 50 or so people at the public meeting at City Hall, many of them had copies of the Master Plan printed out from the city’s website — close to 300 pages. These Sector 2 residents were organized, having met with their neighbors in advance to look at the plans and craft questions and concerns to address at the meeting. Their efforts are admirable and show the commitment to making sure that their voices are heard. And as anyone at the meeting could hear, these are voices filled with skepticism and mistrust over the contents of the Master Plan. Those who live around the Depot area are wary of the plans for outdoor pavilions, shops and possibly restaurants around the new Spanish Moss Rail Trail.\r\n\r\nOne man, who owns a large tract of waterfront property in the Hermitage area, asked outright why the plan shows a development with more than 70 homes on his land. He said no one from the city ever approached him about the use of the land, and he said he has no intention of selling or developing it. The chairman of the city Redevelopment Commission who was leading the meeting, Jon Verity, responded by saying these plans are just ideas about possible uses for the land, to show people what could be. But why would the city even bother coming up with plans for someone’s private property? Did out-of-town planners see a large open waterfront tract on the map and decide that it would be a good place for more development?\r\n\r\nThis seems to be the case for the project proposed for my neighborhood. This working class area is characterized by small, older homes, where children play and people walk dogs and neighbors are friendly and helpful. Our parks and playgrounds are tiny, our streets flood when it rains, and caution to anyone should try to push a newborn baby in a stroller on our sidewalks because they are bumpy, uneven, and in many places, nonexistent. The speed limit on our streets is 30 mph. Along several side streets, there is a large wooded area with trails that flanks the water. I have no idea who proposed to build a multi-story retirement building and community on this land, but I guarantee it was not someone who lives in our neighborhood, because it could not be more out of place.\r\n\r\nWhen I asked Mr. Verity about the retirement project, specifically the access roads that would have to built to accommodate the increased traffic, he said curtly that there are no buyers for this land yet (which did not answer my question at all). When someone else asked where this is located, he simply said: “There is nothing there right now.” Yeah, nothing except a nice patch of woods that buffers the water and adds to the tranquility and rustic feel of our neighborhood.\r\n\r\nAnother question raised by a resident was why the Master Plan called for the removal of the grassy, tree-filled median that runs the length of Hermitage Road in order to make room for parking spaces along the side of the road. Mr. Verity said he wasn’t aware this was in the plan.\r\n\r\nVerity’s indifference and the attitude of Craig Lewis, the planner/consultant for the Office of Civic Investment, seemed out of sync with the public’s questions and concerns. Lewis appeared detached and almost amused, especially when someone referenced a specific page number from the Master Plan draft. His tone was patronizing as he assured residents that all their issues would be corrected online and passed on to City Council members (speaking of our elected officials, none were present at the workshop, except for Donnie Beer who left early.) Lewis seemed condescending toward the crowd, and in return, the residents did not seem consoled by his reassurances that their requests would be properly handled.\r\n\r\nI hope that the city can see that the residents of Sector 2 are not on board with <b><i>their</i></b> plans for <b><i>our</i></b> neighborhood, and will do the right thing and remove these out-of-scale, unsustainable projects from the final draft of the master plan. Maybe instead of spending time pondering grandiose visions of inappropriate future development we can instead focus on basic improvements and projects we can all agree on like sidewalks, drainage, the removal of dilapidated structures, responsible in-fill development and parks. Forgive me, but with two years of public meetings, I thought the point of this whole exercise was to ask what we want. Now it seems we are on the receiving end of what outsiders want. But, I’m just a resident of Beaufort, what do I know?', 'When it comes to Civic Master Plan, the city needs to build trust', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'when-it-comes-to-civic-master-plan-the-city-needs-to-build-trust', '', '', '2013-04-18 08:41:05', '2013-04-18 12:41:05', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=10777', 0, 'post', '', 0),

She started turning her passion into her career by selling individual necklaces, earrings and bracelets at “jewelry parties” in the homes of friends and family.\r\n\r\nTen years ago, she made a business agreement with Nan Sutton, the owner of the Lulu Burgess shop on Bay Street, to sell seasonal collections.\r\n\r\nThe agreement with Sutton was her first success in marketing wholesale jewelry. She now has similar agreements with Tango on Fripp Island and Mango, a store in Atlanta. Her jewelry is sold in 75 shops in 21 U.S. states, as well as in Puerto Rico and Canada.\r\n\r\nMills’ studio in the Lipsitz building is modestly furnished — two worktables sit on the battered dark wood floors and the walls are whitewashed and mostly unadorned. A few clear plastic storage bins show neatly packaged pink, gold, turquoise and white gems and stones.\r\n\r\nThe space may appear unassuming but after working from home to fill wholesale orders since 2003, the Lipsitz room will be a place for her to create one-of-a-kind pieces.\r\n\r\n“Now I feel like I can get some more creativity in,” she said.\r\n\r\nA handful of Mills’ unique pieces are already featured in a glass case in a common area of the building. Paintings and products from other artists are also for sale.\r\n\r\nMills said she finds design inspiration for her collections from the shape and size of different gems and stones she finds at conventions, which she goes to twice a year. She also has connections with turquoise sellers in New Mexico. Mills also works with forged metals because of how the surfaces transform.\r\n\r\nWith her next line set to come out in July and the work of getting settled in the Lipsitz building, Mills is hesitant to extol any other major plans for the future. However, she did say she hopes to introduce collections for weddings and other special occasions.\r\n\r\nHer most popular design is a necklace strung with hundreds of tiny “seed beads” with a single oval or circular gem pendant. It comes in a host of colors and Sutton used a brown and tan version to show why her customers like Mills’ work so much.\r\n\r\n“She’s my best selling jewelry line,” Sutton said. “I think people like her work because of its simplicity.”\r\n\r\nLulu Burgess hold’s a J. Mills collection show twice a year, where her recent line is displayed and customers can shop while sipping refreshments. The next show at Lulu’s is set for 4 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, April 25 at the store on 917 Bay Street.\r\n\r\nSutton said she’s seen customers buy Mills’ work as a present for an 8-year-old, as the finishing touch to an outfit for an 80-year-old and every age in between.\r\n\r\nIt’s exactly the reaction Mills is going for with her work.\r\n\r\n“I like simplicity with a twist,” she said. She said she hopes her jewelry can be worn through trends and kept for years.\r\n\r\nOther than the joy of inventing new collections, Mills finds amusement in learning about where her work will travel to and what wearers might accomplish.\r\n\r\n“I was talking to (a customer) and she was saying how she always has to wear boring clothes at work,” Mills said. “I asked what she does and she just said, ‘Oh I’m an attorney at the Pentagon.’”\r\n\r\nThe woman ended up buying a necklace and was one of Mills’ first customers at the Lipsitz gallery.\r\n\r\nMills also sent a pair of forged metal earrings to singer Alison Krauss after she and some friends met her backstage at a concert. Krauss complemented a friend on a similar pair.\r\n\r\n“Now if only she would send me a picture of her wearing them,” Mills said, laughing. “I could call them ‘The Alisons.’ ”\r\n\r\nTo see Mills’ jewelry, go to jmillsstudio.com or AtelierOnBay.com.', 'Jewelry maker finds new inspiration in old building', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'jewelry-maker-finds-new-inspiration-in-old-building', '', '', '2013-04-18 08:43:08', '2013-04-18 12:43:08', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=10779', 0, 'post', '', 0),

However, recent heavy rains, coupled with the annual leaf fall and residents’ efforts to keep lawns clear, have put too much debris onto the streets, Beaufort City Manager Scott Dadson said.\r\n\r\nLeaves blown into the street can cover and clog drainage grates and pipes. They also can damage the city’s street sweeper, which isn’t designed to sweep up heavy loads of leaves or other yard debris, Dadson said.\r\n\r\n“We need everyone’s help on this,” he said. “Blowing leaves onto the street seems like a simple solution to cleaning up your yard, but it creates major problems now and in the future. The city team worked hard to upgrade our drainage system to get better flood insurance rates for residents and businesses. We need everyone’s help to maintain the drainage system.”\r\n\r\nWithin the city limits, it’s against the law to damage or obstruct any ditch, drain or watercourse, with fines of twice the damage done. It’s also illegal to put any debris in ditches along roads or property boundaries that drain land in any direction.\r\n\r\n“It can be a resident blowing or raking leaves onto the street a few times a year or landscapers and yard crews doing it every week,” said Isiah Smalls, Beaufort’s Director of Public Works. “We are reminding people in the city of how to properly deal with yard debris, and our crews will be checking up on violators.”\r\n\r\nTen bags or less of yard debris — typically grass clippings or bagged leaves — will be picked up on regular city garbage days if the bags are heavyweight yard bags and are twisted or tied closed.\r\n\r\nWhen there are more than 10 bags of yard debris, or branches that need removed, pick-up is done on Thursdays and Fridays using a special truck. A resident can ensure pick-up of large quantities of bags or branches before the weekend by placing these items out before Thursday and calling Waste Pro at 645-4100 and requesting a special pick up.\r\n\r\nYard debris is taken to a special soil reclamation center operated by Waste Pro where the leaves, grass and branches are burned, then mixed with soil to create compost — which in turn is used by The Greenery to improve landscaping on city property.', 'Options available for residents to properly handle yard debris', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'options-available-for-residents-to-properly-handle-yard-debris', '', '', '2013-04-18 08:44:37', '2013-04-18 12:44:37', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=10784', 0, 'post', '', 0);

With the help of her department director and other nurses on the ward, she put together a collection of more than 30 movies patients can watch on a portable DVD player.\r\n\r\n“It was a small thing,” Baxley said. “It’s really not a big deal compared to what most nurses do for their patients.”\r\n\r\nBut the compassionate gesture earned her the DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses, a national tribute reserved for RNs who go above and beyond the call of duty. Last week, hospital administrators surprised her with the award during the middle of her shift.\r\n\r\n“It’s an example of the kind of care she offers her patients,” said Fifth Floor Assistant Director Nancy Fu, who nominated Baxley for the award. “She’s not just there dispensing medicine and changing dressings. She looks at the whole person and does what she can to make a difficult experience as easy as possible.”\r\n\r\nUnaware she had been nominated, Baxley was caught off guard when she was called in last Wednesday morning to speak to her supervisor.\r\n\r\n“She had a very serious look on her face,” Baxley recounted. “I thought I was in trouble.”\r\n\r\nThe nurse was escorted into the family consultation room where she found BMH President and CEO Rick Toomey, two dozen of her co-workers, her husband and her father and mother-in-law who had driven to Beaufort from Hartsville to attend the presentation.\r\n\r\nBaxley was given an engraved vase full of daisies and a trophy titled, “A Healer’s Touch,” a hand-carved sculpture created by artists of the Shona Tribe in Zimbabwe.\r\n\r\nThe DAISY Award was created in 1999 by a Seattle couple as a way to honor the nurses who took care of their son before he died. It has since been adopted by healthcare facilities all over the U.S. Anyone can nominate a BMH nurse for the prestigious award. Applications are available throughout the hospital.\r\n\r\n“We have an outstanding team of nurses, so we get a lot of nominations,” said BMH Human Resources Manager Chris Watson. “Geneva really stood out because she went beyond her duties as a nurse to help her patients.”\r\n\r\nThe Beaufort resident donated 15 DVDs from her own personal collection to the fledgling library. They included “Little Miss Sunshine,” “The Perfect Storm,” episodes of “Seinfeld” and “Harry Potter.”\r\n\r\nAn email she sent out to her co-workers requesting DVD donations brought in another 15 or so movies. Equally enthusiastic about the idea, her department director, Dot Rucker, purchased a portable DVD player that can be set up on the over-the-bed hospital room tables.\r\n\r\n“It can be very stressful waiting for tests or test results,” Baxley said. “I thought a movie would be a nice diversion.”\r\n<div></div>', 'Beaufort Memorial nurse receives DAISY award', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'beaufort-memorial-nurse-receives-daisy-award', '', '', '2013-04-18 08:46:25', '2013-04-18 12:46:25', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=10786', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Just a few months after our first paper hit the streets, the stock market crashed and America figured out that the real estate bubble had just popped.  Although Beaufort residents and local businesses were excited to have a newspaper that focused only on Northern Beaufort news, the advertising dollars that were needed to support a weekly paper were hard to find.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Island-News-Original-Cover.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-10790\" alt=\"Island News Original Cover\" src=\"http://www.yourislandnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Island-News-Original-Cover-208x300.jpg\" width=\"208\" height=\"300\" /></a>Couple the “great recession” with the fact that designing ads, writing articles and delivering papers were not things that we had done before, and you can see that it has been an uphill climb.  Although we had experience publishing monthly magazines, we had never worked on a weekly deadline with weekly expenses.\r\n\r\nSlowly we have built an incredible team.  Thanks to their skills, their willingness to work with our small budget,\r\nand thanks to this community’s patience and the good Lord’s grace, we made it!\r\n\r\nThe Island News has always been a free weekly newspaper.

Upon arrival, they made contact with a 40-year old male suffering from a gunshot wound to the leg. The victim advised that the shooting occurred outside a home on Shiney Rd. The victim had been standing outside the residence, visiting with several other individuals, when a male subject suddenly approached and began shooting at him. After firing several rounds, one of which struck the victim in the leg, the suspect was seen fleeing the area on foot.\r\n\r\nRealizing that he had been shot, the victim got into his car and called 911 as he drove to his Saxonville Rd home. The victim advised that he believed the shooting may have been related to an on-going dispute he’d been having with an acquaintance over money.\r\n\r\nThe victim was transported to Beaufort Memorial Hospital where he was treated and released for non-life threatening injury.

The district is governed by a Board of Fire Control (Commission) composed of five members appointed by the governor.\r\n\r\n<b>How is the Fire District funded? </b>\r\n\r\nThe fire district is funded by taxes levied upon all taxable property in the district. The budget is prepared by the fire chief, presented to the commission for approval and then to the County Council for final approval.\r\n\r\n<b>How many employees does the district have?</b>\r\n\r\nThe district has a total of 65 employees, 60 shift personnel, four administrative/command personnel and one administrative person. The shift personnel work a 24 hour shift each third day and are led by a battalion chief and two lieutenants. The minimum manning per shift is 16 personnel; with five stations this minimum manning provides three firefighters per station and a supervisor/battalion chief.\r\n\r\n<b>How many requests for service does the Lady’s Island-St. Helena Fire District respond to on an average year? </b>\r\n\r\nIn the year of 2011, the district had 2,310 total calls for service; in 2012 we had 2,345 total calls for service.\r\n\r\n<b>What is the size of the area for which the fire district is responsible?</b>\r\n\r\nThe response district is more than 144 square miles.\r\n\r\n<b>Who responds to fires in those Lady’s Island homes and businesses that have been annexed into the city? </b>\r\n\r\nThe district has an automatic-aid contract with the City of Beaufort. We respond to all calls for service in the annexed areas, the City of Beaufort pays the district on an annual basis for those services.\r\n\r\n<b>Why do the fire trucks respond to medical emergencies?</b>\r\n\r\nTravel distance and time to the medical emergency have much to do with it. We have five fire stations strategically located in the fire district for quick response, as compared to EMS which operates out of two of our stations. Our firefighters are medically trained and are capable of life saving action should they arrive first. Our firefighters respond with EMS and this is called the first responder program.\r\n\r\n<b>What is the average response time?</b>\r\n\r\nThe average response time for 2012 was 5 minutes, 36 seconds.\r\n\r\n<b>What is the relationship of the fire district and the County Emergency Medical Service (EMS)? </b>\r\n\r\nOur relationship is excellent; we enjoy a close and cooperative rapport. For example, the EMS units on Lady’s Island and St. Helena Island are housed in fire district stations. This includes accommodations for EMS crews.\r\n\r\n<b>How is the fire district preparing for future growth?</b>\r\n\r\nWith the completion of the planned new headquarters and station on Lady’s Island Drive, Lady’s Island- St. Helena Fire District should be well positioned to handle growth well into the future, as long as zoning density remains basically the same.\r\n<div></div>', '10 things you may not know about Lady’s Island-St. Helena Fire District', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', '10-things-you-may-not-know-about-ladys-island-st-helena-fire-district', '', '', '2013-04-18 08:56:18', '2013-04-18 12:56:18', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=10800', 0, 'post', '', 0),

This insight gives us great power to choose to live our lives very differently.\r\n\r\nTo simplify, our left brain is our ”thinking” brain and our right brain is our “feeling” brain. The left brain judges, reasons and analyzes. Our right brain is our creative brain, where we visualize, express emotions or receive intuitions. The left brain is the chatter brain, the one that sometimes simply won’t be quiet, thinks it knows best but more often, the one that gets in the way and keeps us stuck in negative patterns or behaviors.\r\n\r\nAs an example, you’re probably familiar with the left brain when you’re thinking about a person that you need to have a difficult conversation with and you go into the internal point/counter point dialogue. “I’ll say this, she’ll say that, then I’ll say that, then she’ll say this’,” and on and on and on ... repeat.  This can go on for minutes, hours, days, weeks, months or even years.  Have you ever noticed these dialogues seldom go the way you thought they would, and because it is often calculated with an energy of defense or “I am rightness,” they often spiral so far away from their intended track, that now matters are worse? Or, is this just me?\r\n\r\nIt has been said that we have 25,000 thoughts per day and that the majority are negative, such as worry, fear, judgment or anger.  Unless we are paying attention, we don’t even realize it, yet these thoughts are controlling our physiology constantly, whether we are paying attention or not.  A trick I have learned is when the chatter brain is on a roll and I tune into how I feel, I can simply think, “left brain, be quiet” and tune into a feeling of peace, joy, compassion from the right brain.  It is amazing to feel the discernible shift within the brain and body. Sometimes it is necessary to repeat it every few seconds or minutes until the negative loop pattern is broken, but with practice, it becomes easier.\r\n\r\nTry it at night when you are awakened at 2 a.m. for what seems like no apparent reason.  When you catch your chatterbox left brain start to think about yesterday, tomorrow or next year, or chewing about all of the things you forgot to do or the things that yet to be done in the future, or getting frustrated looking at the clock knowing you have to get up in a couple of hours, simply think “left brain, be quiet,” focus on breathing deeply through the nose into the abdomen and feel what happens.  Allow your right brain to feel the bliss of the moment, repeat as necessary until you drift back to sleep.  With practice, you create a new pattern in the brain making it much easier to fall and stay asleep.\r\n\r\nRemember that you have great power in how you use your mind, so choose your 25, 000 thoughts to empower your personal health, happiness and success.\r\n\r\nLive Well ...

Upshaw wrote to the Newman Civic Fellows Award Nomination Committee. “Ms. Frazier will receive dual Bachelor of Science degrees in both Human Services and Business Administration at our spring commencement this May. She has an impressive record of academic success, civic engagement and leadership.”\r\n\r\nHuman Service majors at USCB are required to complete three internships, each of which carries a minimum of 120 hours of service at approved sites. Ms. Frazier exceeded the 360-hour requirement by performing 450 hours of service.\r\n\r\n“In addition,” the chancellor noted, “Davina is also providing another 150 hours of service in her Business degree’s optional internship this current semester. She will graduate with an impressive total of 600 hours of documented internship service.”\r\n\r\nWhile working with the Jasper County Boys &amp; Girls Club, Ms. Frazier served on South Carolina Campus Compact’s Healthy Families project where she helped children improve their well-being by forsaking junk food and soda in favor of more nutritious foods. She also developed and implemented a program called Fit Fridays that encompasses sports activities, dance classes and other exercise opportunities.\r\n\r\nFor her third Human Services internship, Ms. Frazier became a certified IRS tax preparer and staffed USCB’s Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program (VITA). After receiving 40 hours of training as a tax preparer, she assisted working families and individuals in completing their federal and state income tax forms at no cost.\r\n\r\nThat’s not the sum total of her volunteer efforts. As the chancellor pointed out, “For the past seven years, Davina has volunteered between five and 10 hours per week during the school year at Beaufort Elementary School where her mother, Melanie Frazier, teaches a class of severe and profound special needs children. Conservatively, we estimate that this totals more than 1,000 volunteer hours.”', 'USCB senior named 2013 Newman Civic Fellow', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'uscb-senior-named-2013-newman-civic-fellow', '', '', '2018-07-12 11:03:38', '2018-07-12 15:03:38', '', 0, 'http://www.yourislandnews.com/?p=10812', 0, 'post', '', 0),
