The Summerville Preservation Society is on a mission to keep the towns historic atmosphere intact, starting with four houses that might be in danger of being torn down and replaced with an office building.
The Summerville Commissioners of Public Works is in the process of buying property to establish a new office building to move into. They are looking into a total of four pieces of property that are occupied by four houses on West 1st North Street and North Cedar Street, near Parks Funeral Home.
Those houses are not in the towns historic district, which stops at the railroad tracks with the exception of individual properties added in 2012.
Heyward Hutson, president of the Summerville Preservation Society, came to CPWs regular meeting Aug. 12 to address the commissioners on why they should not tear down the houses. He was joined by other members of the Preservation Society.
Those properties are associated with some history in Summerville, Hutson said. We dont want to lose four historic houses.
Hutson said one of those houses is an antebellum house, built around 1858. He went on to say he wants the commissioners to feel responsible for whatever happens to those houses.
We dont want to be the only ones concerned about Summerville, he said. I know in your core you have some appreciation for Summerville, or you wouldnt be living here.
We are not trying to prevent you from doing what you need to do, he added, but we want you to take responsibility for preserving Summerville. We are going to depend on you.
Hutson went on to question why CPW needs so much property enough to remove pretty much the whole block. He asked if CPW has considered other options such as moving the houses.
CPW Chairman Stephen Mueller said CPW does not yet own any of the property.
If we do acquire the property we will take everything you said into consideration, he told Hutson.
However, CPW Manager Charles Cuzzell told The Journal Scene he is not sure if CPW would want to try to move the houses, though they would be willing to donate them to anyone willing to move them.
Its really going to be difficult until we get the houses and do an evaluation of them, he said. We really dont know what condition theyre in.
Right now its really up in the air.
Hutson also questions the placement of the new Summerville hotel, The Dorchester, planned to be built on Cedar Street near West Richardson Avenue.
Hutson addressed Summerville Town Council during its meeting Aug. 13, saying he had concerns about the towns private-public partnership of the hotel, which was approved in July.
We cant reinvent historic Summerville, Hutson said. What we would like is the right thing to do in a democratic system: participatory democracy.
Hutson went on to request a public meeting where people could express all the concerns associated with the hotel project, including placement of the boutique hotel within Summervilles historic district; the hotel will placed on Cedar Street, near the intersection of West Richardson Avenue.
Im not saying that we are opposed to a boutique hotel, he said, but placement of a boutique hotel on that block creates enormous problems, and we want to have a public hearing and I think the public is entitled to that.
Hutson also wants more information about the public-private partnership the town has executed in order to build the hotel. Hutson alleged the manner in which the council came to the agreement was shrouded in secrecy, saying people were completely blindsided by the partnership.
Hutson requested, citing the Freedom of Information Act, all of correspondence memos, e-mails, letters, meeting minutes that led up to the private-public agreement.
We need that because we want to see what the agreement is all about, he said. We want a copy of any contract that has been signed, and if it hasnt been signed we want a copy of the proposal.
After the meeting, Councilwoman Kima Garten-Schmidt said there will be an information type public meeting to address these concerns. A date for such a meeting has yet to be determined but will likely be released within the next few weeks.
A lot of things they addressed tonight were things that were already put out to the public, she said. There isnt anything weve done in secrecy. Theres a lot of people who already have a lot of information about this joint venture.

Combine beach relaxation with city action on Nice city breaks. Our regular flights and a short travelling time mean you could be enjoying beautiful Nice in no time.
Nice may feel less glossy than neighbouring resorts like Monaco and Cannes, yet it's this quality that creates its inimitable charm. The bustling atmosphere around Place Massena radiates along the Promenade des Anglais, giving you a taste of the French Riviera and inviting you to explore more.
With its prime position on the glamorous Cote d'Azur, frequent flights and enviable year-round climate, you can understand why Nice is the ideal choice for a relaxing city break or beach holiday. Its sweeping panoramic promenade, turquoise waters and palm-lined boulevards paint a true picture – but beyond this Mediterranean-infused façade you'll soon discover a thriving culture. Shuttered buildings are crammed with flourishing museums, intriguing galleries wait to be discovered along the winding alleyways of the Old town and verdant parks are playgrounds for picnics.
As the gateway to the French Riviera, Nice is the perfect city meets beach destination – with plenty to explore on its doorstep. Boasting a Mediterranean feel, with its piercing turquoise waters and palm-lined promenades – you won't believe that you're just a short flight from the UK. It's bursting with character and culture - from the sweeping Promenade des Anglais to the quaint Old Town with its famous food and flower markets.
You don't have to be a film star to embrace the splendour of glittering Cannes, but this dazzling destination will certainly live up to its celebrity status – with luxurious hotels and upscale shopping that are worthy of a five star price tag. Beyond the glitz and glamour, you'll discover an impressive promenade, seven miles of golden coastline and a quaint Old Town. Lose yourself in the maze of picturesque lanes or take in the spectacular views from Le Suquet.
If you're looking for a luxury break on the French Riviera – then look no further than Monaco. Famed for its luxurious hotels, fabulous cars and larger than life yachts – you'll feel like you're living the high life on holidays in Monaco. This compact destination is easy to explore – admire the grand architecture of the Monte Carlo Casino and Opera House, walk the famous Grand Prix Circuit or explore the Old Town where you'll find the palace and cathedral.
Easily one of the most recognisable names on the French Riviera – there's no doubt that St Tropez is a jetsetters paradise, where beautiful people adorn the equally stunning beaches and millionaires moor their fancy yachts at the once humble fishing port. Immerse yourself in the glitz and glamour of Nikki Beach, meander through the cobbled lanes in the old fishing quarter or embrace the natural beauty as you stroll along the coastal path – the perimeter is blessed with hidden swimming holes.
An area of the French Riviera that many associate with the splendour and elegance of the 1920s and 1930s.The legacy of the 'Gatsby era' lives on in the mansions of Cap d' Antibes, sweeping sands of Juan Les Pins and the stylishness of Jazz a Juan – the iconic summer jazz festival. Presenting an image of a quintessential Mediterranean town, this area has charmed the likes of Monèt and Picasso and continues to dazzle visitors today.

There is a theory that the word is derived from Connaught, a term said to be given by French Canadians to the Irish. The Oxford Companion To The English Language (defines the term as): Canuck 1820's. Probably from the Iroquoian "CANUCHSA", someone in a "KANATA"(village)…but possibly from Hawaiian "KANAKA" (man), through a pidgin used in the fur trade (in which Pacific islanders were employed), and taken into French as "CANAQUE", perhaps being originally applied to French Canadian canoemen. A nickname for a Canadian…but in the U.S. Northeast pejoratively referring to French Canadians.
Why is it Canucks always have the most intelligent answers?
Because Canucks rule!

The Stetson men's basketball team gave defending Atlantic Sun Conference champions Florida Gulf Coast all they could handle for 35 minutes, but it wasn't enough as the Eagles defeated the Hatters 68-55 on Sunday at the Edmunds Center.
Stetson (3-12, 1-2) trailed by just three points when a basket by senior Willie Green made it 50-47 in favor of the Eagles with just 5:06 to play in the game. Five straight points by FGCU (9-7, 3-0) extended the lead back to eight points, and the Eagles were able to hold the Hatters off for the double digit victory.
"Florida Gulf Coast is a good basketball team with some good leadership," Stetson head coach Corey Williams said after the game. "They have guys who have been there and done that as it relates to winning basketball games, and they came out and played as such.
"I thought our guys' effort for the most part was a very good effort," Williams went on to say. "We made Florida Gulf Coast have to hit some crucial shots at very important times of the game, and they did, like they have shown to in the past."
The Hatters were able to stay with the team predicted to win the A-Sun again this season thanks in large part to the offense of Green. Stetson's leading scorer poured in a game high 24 points on 9-of-18 from the floor, including a number of thunderous dunks. Green added four rebounds and three blocks in the defeat.
The Eagles' balanced attack, which included four players in double figures and a fifth with nine points, combined with a terrific rebounding effort, led FGCU to its third straight win to start league play.
Eric McKnight and Bernard Thompson led the way with 14 points each, while Filip Cvjeticanin, Chase Fieler, and Jamail Jones added 11, 10, and nine, respectively. Leading scorer Brett Comer was held scoreless by the Hatters, but contributed with eight assists and six rebounds in the victory.
The Hatters were unable to keep the Eagles off the glass all game, allowing 18 offensive rebounds, four of which came from Fieler. FGCU outrebounded Stetson 44-28 overall on the day.
"The thing that stands out to be glaring to me is how many offensive rebounds we let them have and the defensive rebound disparity," said Williams. "Those are the things I was disappointed in, but I thought our effort was good."
The two teams came in as two of the top defenses in the league and that showed on Sunday with a low scoring affair. FGCU finished shooting 40.3 percent from the field and 31.8 percent from beyond the arc. The Hatters were 38.5 percent from the floor and just 16.7 percent from three-point range.
The Eagles went 7-of-22 from long distance, including a pair of clutch triples from Fieler and Thompson in the final five minutes of play. The Hatters went just 3-of-18 from deep and were merely 1-of-13 in the second half.
Stetson was paced by Green's 24 points, while senior Aaron Graham, junior Kentwan Smith, and redshirt-freshman Brian Pegg each chipped in with eight points. Pegg led the Hatters with eight rebounds, while senior Raymone Andrews led the way with six assists in the defeat.
The Hatters will continue conference action next weekend. Stetson travels to Jacksonville on Thursday, and then returns to the River City to take on North Florida on Saturday. Both games will be featured on ASun.TV and WSBB.

This is the device that tightens skin and diminishes wrinkles around the eyes without requiring surgical procedures. Using the same technology implemented by professional estheticians, the device emits safe, gentle micro currents that stimulate muscle contractions to strengthen and tighten the skin and reduce wrinkles. The low-level micro currents penetrate deep into muscles to increase subcutaneous blood circulation and oxygenation, mitigating the muscular elasticity that causes skin to sag around the eyes. The included gel with chamomile and rose extracts mitigates dark circles and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The fine tip enables precise, targeted treatment around the eyes, mouth, and forehead. Includes 6-volt battery, gel, and storage pouch. 7" H x 2 1/2" W x 1" D. (2 lbs.)

Crawford man falls victim to prize scam
A 51-year-old Crawford County man thought he was a millionaire.
The South Shenango Township resident received an official-looking notice in the mail Sept. 17. The letter was supposedly from "Publisher's Clearing House, International Lotto Commission" and it said he had won $1 million.
The only problem was that the letter was a scam.
State police reported that the man, whose name was not released, didn't win $1 million but lost $5,000 trying to claim the money.
"It's a new face on an old scam," said Pennsylvania State Police spokesman Sgt. Mark Zaleski.
The scam works like this: You get a letter, e-mail or phone call from someone claiming you won a large sum of money.
You are then asked to send money ahead of time to pay the taxes on your winnings, or you receive a check and are asked to cash it and send a portion of the winnings back to them.
In the first scenario, you send the money and never get the prize. In the second one, the check is fake and you are stuck reimbursing the bank for the money you sent to the scammers.
The truth is that Publishers Clearing House never asks people to pay to either enter their contests or collect their awards, according to the company's website.
It also never calls winners ahead of time to let them know they have won.
"If you are ever contacted by mail, phone or e-mail by someone claiming to be with PCH -- and are asked to send or wire money to claim a prize -- you have NOT heard from us at Publishers Clearing House," a PCH spokeswoman said on the company's website.
So what should you do if a company contacts you and says you have won a large amount of money?
- If you didn't apply for the prize, you probably didn't win anything. If it seems to good to be true, it probably is.
- Verify the information, Zaleski said.
"Make a couple of calls to ensure the prize is real," Zaleski said. "If they ask you to send money, that's a red flag right there."
- Don't give out any personal information until you prove the prize is for real.
"Not only can scammers take your money, they also can steal your identity," Zaleski said. "Sometimes they harass you. There are people who have had to change their telephone numbers multiple times due to these scams."
- If you suspect a scam, hang up the phone or throw the letter away. If you have been scammed, report it to the police.
"There have been some pretty smart and wealthy people who have fallen for these scams," Zaleski said. "The scammers can be convincing."

Random thoughts while making my husband's favorite snack that, happily, takes less than five minutes to prepare and does not involve sharp utensils. Or a stove. (Recipe to follow.)
Forget Easter Island: How two people can generate five loads of laundry a week is one of the mysteries of the universe. I fold clothes in my sleep.In a perfect world, Adam Corolla would be president.Alec Baldwin has a new daughter. Yay! Another chance to call his child "a selfish little pig."If I hear or read the word "empowered" one more time in reference to women's strength, I will scream and then vomit. (I had the same reaction to "paradigm" in 2009 and "closure" in 2006.) I am empowered by God, end of story.I don't eat meat anymore, but frequently dream about tearing into a big, juicy ribeye. I wake up drooling.Let's all get over Miley Cyrus and her awards show raunchfest. It was tacky and tasteless, yes, but she's 20 years old. With apologies to any uber-mature 20-year-olds who have a mortgage and a degree from MIT, at that age you do stupid stuff. She didn't rob or beat anybody. We should focus on more important things, like racial equality and the fact that we may go to war in Syria. Priorities, people.We have used our formal dining room exactly twice in the last 18 months. Apparently we are not formal folks.I am so over Dr. Oz, bless his heart.I don't have a bugout bag. If I did, it would contain mascara, cashews and a DVD of "Steel Magnolias." So no, I'm not prepared. But Widdle Baby is, which is why there are no batteries in any store within 20 miles.Why, why, WHY are people still keeping up with the Kardashians? Why?????Few things are more relaxing than a glass of wine and a good friend.Next time you hear someone describe the price of something inexpensive as "chicken feed," you have my permission to correct him or her. Chicken feed ain't cheap. I seem to have developed a healthy crush on Jase in "Duck Dynasty." Odd, because I don't like beards.A wise man once said, "If a man is not a liberal in his youth, he has no heart. If he's not a conservative by middle age, he has no brain."I used to think my Uncle Eustace had a funny name, back before we'd heard of Rainbow, Apple, and Blue Ivy.My brother, T-Bob, just bought his talented 10-year-old son a Fender Stratocaster. He may have another Eddie Van Halen on his hands…. Or just a bunch of really annoyed condo neighbors.OK, here's the recipe. It's very forgiving so if you don't have a measuring cup or have had two glasses of wine, don't fret. It will come out fine.
Widdle Baby's Favorite Treats
In a large, microwaveable bowl, melt 5 tablespoons butter, ½ cup honey and a big hunk o' peanut butter. Pull it out every 30 seconds and stir until everything's liquid-ish. Add 2 cups of quick-cooking oats (I use Publix brand), 1 cup of Craisins and a handful of chopped walnuts. If you don't like Craisins, try dates or raisins. Mix and add a little vanilla or cinnamon if you feel like it. Spray an 8 x 8 pan with Pam. Dampen your hands and press mixture into pan. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Slice into squares and prepare to make again very soon.

The first one-stop supply shop for the Lowcountry brew-at-home enthusiast –– Yeast – Everything Homebrew –– opened its doors on Saturday, Feb. 1 at 10 a.m. at 557 Belle Station Blvd., Mount Pleasant.
The shop offers brewing equipment, supplies, kits and ingredients that include a selection of fresh malts, grains, hops and yeast. The shop also provides support through demonstrations and advice for novices seeking to start in the craft.
Peter Kinslow, a Mount Pleasant resident and proprietor of Yeast – Everything Homebrew, had been homebrewing for years but stopped once he moved to the area due to the lack of local resources.
"After 25 years in the IT business, a layoff sparked me to renew my love of homebrewing and to explore other business opportunities," said Kinslow. "The craft beer scene has exploded in Charleston over the last five years and it's only natural that the homebrewing hobbyist has grown as well. It's really the perfect time for a dedicated homebrew supply shop here in the Lowcountry."
A library featuring Kinslow's personal collection of homebrewing books will be available in-house for customers to browse for reference and inspiration. Once up and running, Kinslow plans to hold special events and offer classes at the shop for all styles of homebrewing.
According to the American Homebrewers Association, more than one million people brew their own beer at home in the United States. Mount Pleasant is the perfect location for a dedicated supply shop as the Holy City recently landed in the top 20 on Travel and Leisure's 2013 list of "America's Best Beer Cities."
The shop is located in the Belle Station Shopping Center off of Long Point Road behind Sonic in Mount Pleasant and can be reached at 843-971-7122. Normal business hours are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.; Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday noon to 5 p.m. The shop is closed on Wednesdays.
For additional information regarding Yeast - Everything Homebrew, please visit www.yeasthomebrew.com, on Facebook www.facebook.com/yeasthomebrew, or Twitter (@YeastHomeBrew) www.twitter.com/YeastHomeBrew.
Inez Tenenbaum joins Nelson, Mullins, Riley and Scarborough
Inez Tenenbaum, President Barack Obama's choice to lead the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) since 2009, joined the law firm of Nelson, Mullins, Riley and Scarborough.
Ms. Tenenbaum, who is credited with transforming the CPSC during her tenure, will work with the law firm's Product Safety, Risk Prevention and Regulatory Practice group, where she will advise clients on regulatory matters, including risk assessment and management, regulatory oversight, product reporting, recalls, and litigation. Ms. Tenenbaum oversaw implementation of Congress' 2008 Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act during her tenure and will advise clients on its provisions, particularly relating to product testing and certification requirements.
"I am forever grateful for the opportunity to serve in President Obama's administration in the Consumer Product Safety Commission," Ms. Tenenbaum said. "I look forward to working with the private sector in understanding consumer product regulations."
In June 2009, Ms. Tenenbaum was nominated and sworn in as head of the CPSC after the agency had been without a chair for three years. She immediately established a leadership philosophy aimed at making the agency more accessible and transparent, making education and advocacy a priority, and being firm, but fair, in enforcing safety laws and working to keep unsafe products out of the hands of consumers. Under her leadership the CPSC created the Office of Education, Global Outreach and Small Business Ombudsman to coordinate and provide outreach to various domestic and international stakeholders, including manufacturers, retailers, resellers, small businesses and foreign governments.
She has overseen the completion of more than 50 rules since the adoption of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act and expanded CPSC's marketplace surveillance program, revamped and increased the staffing level of the Office of Import Surveillance, and strengthened the partnership with U.S. Customs and Border Protection, in order to detect and detain a greater number of potentially dangerous products before they reach consumers. She travelled across the United States and to many other countries to meet with regulators and take safety to the source of domestically and foreign made consumer products.
"Inez brings considerable experience to our products group and will be able to guide clients through many complicated matters involving product safety," said Managing Partner Jim Lehman. "We look forward to her joining the firm and introducing her to our clients."
Nelson Mullins represents some of the nation's Fortune 500 manufacturers in compliance with the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008, the Federal Hazardous Substances Act, the Consumer Product Safety Act, and the associated rules and regulations implemented by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Attorneys evaluate products – with experience ranging from children's products to furniture to appliances – to ensure compliance and assess and advise manufacturers regarding product safety crises, product safety reporting issues, government investigations, corrective action plans, and voluntary and involuntary recalls, including the CPSC's Fast Track Product Recall Program.
A former South Carolina Superintendent of Education, Ms. Tenenbaum also will provide support to EducationCounsel LLC, Nelson Mullins's education affiliate that was cofounded in 2008 by former U.S. Secretary of Education Richard W. Riley, a partner in the law firm. EducationCounsel is a mission-based education consulting firm that combines experience in policy, strategy, law and advocacy to significantly close achievement gaps and improve student outcomes from birth to post-secondary education throughout the United States. EducationCounsel's clients include many of the nation's leading nonprofits, foundations, state education agencies, school districts and higher education institutions.
"Inez had an exemplary tenure as Superintendent of Education in South Carolina and is a true leader in Washington in President Obama's administration," Secretary Riley said. "She is a talented lawyer who has a special concern for children – their education, their health and their safety. I look forward to working with her on education initiatives and on behalf of our education institutions and our students."
During Ms. Tenenbaum's tenure as S.C. Superintendent of Education from 1998-2007, the S.C. General Assembly approved a $750 million school bill for K-12 school construction and renovation. At the end of her tenure in 2007, five independent national studies indicated that South Carolina's standards for student academic proficiency under No Child Left Behind were among the most rigorous in the nation. The 2007 national report card "Quality Counts" published by EducationWeek ranked South Carolina No. 1 in the nation in academic standards, assessment and accountability.
The law firm is also home to former Ambassador to Canada David Wilkins, who served as Speaker of the S.C. House of Representatives during Ms. Tenenbaum's tenure as Superintendent of Education. "Inez and I have had a wonderful working relationship in the past. She is a well-known and respected attorney and thoughtful leader both at home and in Washington, and I welcome her to the firm and back home to South Carolina."
Glasspro's Danny Kale named "World's Best Auto Glass Technician"
Danny Kale, manager of Glasspro's Summerville auto glass center, recently earned the title of "World's Best Auto Glass Technician" at the 8th Annual International Auto Glass Technician Olympics held in Tampa, Fla. Competitors from all over the world were judged on 10 different criteria, including vehicle inspection, professionalism, proper equipment and tool usage, windshield removal and installation technique, and customer service skills.
Mr. Kale has worked in the glass industry for more than 15 years and credited Glasspro's extensive training with helping him win the gold medal against the best auto glass technicians in the world. Each technician had two hours to select the appropriate tools, prepare their vehicle, cut out the windshield and put it back in without breaking it, properly explain each step and correctly perform post-installation and clean-up procedures.
The annual international competition is open to any auto glass technician with at least one year of experience in a bona fide operating auto glass company. Technicians must follow the current Auto Glass Replacement Safety Standards (AGRSS) to compete. In addition to bragging rights as the "World's Best Auto Glass Technician," Mr. Kale also received $10,000, along with a gold medal and trophy, as the first-place winner.
According to Mr. Kale, "Preparation, practice and a great mentor helped me compete at my best, and I feel very fortunate to be named the winner against such a strong field of auto glass technicians from around the world."
Glasspro President Paul Heinauer added, "Danny is our fifth Glasspro auto glass technician to win national and international competitions. All of us at Glasspro are extremely proud of our newest champion and congratulate Danny on this fantastic accomplishment."
Glasspro operates nine retail auto glass repair and replacement facilities in the Lowcountry, Pee Dee and Grand Strand, including Mount Pleasant, North Charleston, Summerville, Goose Creek, Walterboro, Georgetown, Myrtle Beach, Florence and Bluffton.

Lt. Col. Ed Chamberlayne's office in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Charleston District is in a corner of a castle. There's a guard on the first floor that won't let anyone surprise any employee with an impromptu visit.
Throw in a moat and a gal with long hair, and you have a fairy tale.
But, Chamberlayne's work life is anything but magical and although the building may look like it, it's not a castle. The building matches The Citadel's skyscape. The district commander regularly wrestles with the detrimental effects of sequestration and furloughs. He received the Order of the Palmetto from governor Nikki Haley for taking the Charleston Harbor deepening project and slashing construction time and costs dramatically. He's spearheaded several vital regulatory programs throughout the state.
On Thursday, Chamberlayne will walk out of his lair for the last time and ride away on horseback. Well, a Toyota 4Runner with a Virginia Tech license plate frame. Districts undergo a change in command every two years. Lt. Col. John Litz takes his post.
Chamberlayne will go to Washington, D.C. to work at the Pentagon within the Office of the Chief of Engineers. "Please don't make a big deal out of it," he said in his typical nature. "This isn't really anything special."
Too bad, Ed, because it really is.
The Pentagon gig could be a one or two-year tenure. It'll be move No. 11. He's been to Kansas, Germany, Virginia, Iraq and Afghanistan during his two-decade long service in the Army.
"It's personally hard on my family. We talk about Col. Chamberlayne did this, and Col. Chamberlayne did that. Col. Chamberlayne didn't do anything. The Charleston District did it," he said.
"But, we don't talk about my family. My family has moved 11 times."
Emma, his 14-year-old daughter, attended Academic Magnet. Eddie, his 11-year-old son, went to Pinckney Middle School. His wife, Allison, worked at Wild Dunes and as a substitute teacher in Berkeley County. Do they accept the changes?
"You think a 14 year old accepts that? They understand it; they don't like it," Chamberlayne said. "They respect what my career demands. Our folks say they support our military. I really hope they support the whole package. It's hard on the family."
During his acceptance speech for the Order of the Palmetto, Chamberlayne emphasized two things: he didn't deserve the recognition and that he appreciated his family's support. "This has been the most welcoming community we've ever lived in," he said. "As short as two years may be, you definitely get that you're a part of the community here. It makes it harder to leave."
Although he may not be in a hurry to leave the Lowcountry, it's the reality of his career. Would he prefer to stay and see the completion of the harbor deepening project through?
"You better say yes," district spokesperson Glenn Jeffries said.
"For me to tell you what I want personally is really neither here nor there," Chamberlayne said. "The reality is that we move every 2-3 years...I would love to finish something that we started here, but it's okay for someone else to finish it."
In two years, he's impacted a project with national significance. "When I got here in the summer of 2011, we had a mission to start a feasibility study to look at how to make Charleston Harbor more efficient. We didn't have much money. We didn't have a full schedule or a way to do it, but we knew we had to get it done," he said.
"Now, two years later, we have all the money, we have a very detailed schedule and we have the means to complete the recommendation for Charleston Harbor by September 2015."
That wasn't the first time – and it won't be the last – that he's faced a daunting task and succeeded. During his first tour in Iraq in 2003, he led a team of civilians all over the country to try to find former Iraqi facilities to repair and use for allied troops. "No weapons, no equipment," he said, smiling. "I had one pistol."
The Army was exploring how it could use engineering expertise to benefit the tactical side of operations. "Wasn't that scary?" Jeffries asked.
"Uh, yeah, I had one pistol," he said, smiling. "I would borrow a Humvee from those around me that weren't using them. The Humvee had no doors and no roof, much less any armor."
This was before the military faced heavy opposition of Improvised Explosive Devices, but Chamberlayne said he had a captain who was killed by an IED. "Yes, it was scary," he added, "but my main weapon was waving at people: 'Hello!'"
Three years later, he was deployed to Iraq again for 15 months, where he helped clear 1,900 IEDs. "Every single person we would meet would turn around and go the other way," he joked. "We were that loved."
District employees are at least slightly more fond of their outgoing district commander. Jeffries heaped praise on Chamberlayne for keeping the Charleston District in the public forum.
"I'd have to say he spends a lot of time telling our story," Jeffries said. "In the last two years, he's done over 120 media interviews."
"Really, though?" Chamberlayne said.
"Yes, you have."
"I don't believe it's a 120. That's a little high."
"Yes," she continued. "He spends a significant part of his time telling our story."
Chamberlayne admitted he'll miss Charleston but plans to keep up with the Lowcountry through social media. "We'll be very sad to leave," he said. "It was great to receive the Order of the Palmetto, but a week into it, I feel a little guilty, because I didn't do anything. The team that really has been responsible for advancing so many issues across the state is right here in the Charleston District. "They're not going anywhere. You'll get another colonel who will do the exact same thing, and hopefully he'll do it better."

The most beautiful girl ever. A rose has the face of an angel and when you see her eyes light up when she smiles, you can't help but smile back. She is hilarious, and loves pulling pranks.

Usually dark haired and dark eyed. A Rose is a person who is daring, fun loving and extremely active. Though she may come off as snobby, she is truly just shy with people and takes her time getting to know someone but if she likes you then she will be the best friend you could ever have. Knowing a Rose is a blessing in your life because once you get her out of her shell, she is a sweet, loving and caring person. Never doubt a Rose's trust because no matter what, she always has your back. Rose is the type of person who is impossible not to envy. With her perfection and sweet ways. She just has that X factor you dont find in any other girls! A really loving girlfriend who you could bring home to met your mother!(usually your whole family will fall in love with her then too) , she just has that effect on people, and she will always put a smile on your face no matter what mood your in!. No stranger to advances from men/women as there is usually a queue lined up trying to get to her, her sexual energy is unreal/amazing so you can understand why this is!! She is completely faithful and honest the best girlfriend/wife you could ask for. Usually dont give second chances so dont piss her off!!
All in all a remarkably beautiful individual inside and out!!

af AsianPurson 16. april 2009
A flower that comes in a lot more colors than just yellow or red. They also come in pink, violet, black, white, cream, maroon, orange, red shades, and multicolors, which are usually a mix of white and some other color. They also have miniature roses, which come in the same colors, only they are about a quarter of the size of actual roses. Some roses grow on bushes, some grow on vines. Others grow on 4-foot tall trees. There are single bloom roses, which have less petals than the more widely known double-bloom roses. Roses are often given to people you care about.
They smell pretty too.
af Theaphelia 29. juni 2003
A girl who makes you feel as though no other girl can compare. The type of girl that drives you crazy when you leave her presence simply because you cannot stop thinking about her. Usually very comedic and sexy at the same time. Has a killer smile and is usually on the short side (sometimes very short) but still incredibly attractive. Rose is a girl that is easy going and is an amazing friend. She is a girl that likes to tease the boys she knows are interested in her but it actually very picky about who she dates and if you manage to get with her then you are one of the luckiest men on earth.
Goddamn I bet every girl is jealous of Rose.
I wish I had a girlfriend like Rose.

The Stetson men's tennis team (11-1, 2-0) bounced back from its first loss of the season to defeat Green Bay (9-6) by a score of 4-3 on Wednesday afternoon at the Mandy Stoll Tennis Center.
"What a great match both teams played today," Stetson Director of Tennis Pierre Pilote said. "We knew that Green Bay had an excellent team and they gave us all we could handle."
After taking the lead by a score of 3-2, the Hatters' fate came down to the freshmen once again. Egor Panyushkin ultimately lost in three sets, falling to Leo Gomez Islinger by a score 4-6, 6-4, 1-0 (8). The penultimate match ended up the decider, as Cahit Kapukiran rallied from a one set deficit to defeat Craig Cox by a score of 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 and clinch the Stetson win.
Stetson split the other four singles matches on the day. At number five singles, Chester Espie defeated Rowan Isaaks 6-2, 6-0. The Atlantic Sun Conference Player of the Week, freshman Simon Julin, defeated Erik Finkenbrink 6-3, 6-2 to extend his singles winning streak to 11 games in 2013.
In doubles, Stetson won the first two matches to pick up an early 1-0 advantage. At the number two doubles position, senior Didrik Berg and Julin cruised to an 8-1 victory against Michael Tebon and Howard Scott. Sophomore Nathan Debut and Kapukiran clinched the doubles point by defeating Michael Tenzer and Joey Leto by a score of 8-5.
"Our doubles play was at a higher standard today," Stetson assistant coach Christophe Noblet said after the match. "Playing Drake surely helped us raise our level."
Stetson will have one day off before heading to Georgia for a pair of conference matches. The Hatters begin by playing Kennesaw State on Friday at 3:00 p.m. and will play Mercer on Saturday at 2:00 p.m.
Match notes: Stetson is 6-0 after winning the doubles point this season … Laurynas Antropikas and Hans Adrian Riseng were leading 6-4 in doubles before the match was stopped … Stetson has not lost consecutive home matches since 2011.

ingredient information
Turmeric Extract
Used in cooking since 600 B.C., turmeric is the root of a tropical plant related to GINGER. Though native to the Orient, this spice is now also cultivated in India and the Caribbean. It has a bitter, pungent flavor and an intense yellow-orange color. In Biblical times, turmeric was often used to make perfume, a comment on its rather exotic fragrance. Today it's used mainly to add both flavor and color to food. Turmeric is very popular in East Indian cooking and is almost always used in CURRY preparations. It's also a primary ingredient in MUSTARD and is what gives American-style prepared mustard its bright yellow color. Extract The distilled or evaporated oils of foods or plants (such as nuts, seeds, fruits, vegetables, herbs, spices, bark, buds, roots, leaves, meat, poultry, seafood, fish, dairy foods, or eggs) that are dissolved in an alcohol base or allowed to dry to be used as a flavoring. Food extracts as they are often labeled, are used to add a concentrated flavor to many food dishes, especially baked goods and desserts, without adding additional volume. Available in solid (cubes, granules or powdered), liquid or jelled form, extracts may be labeled as pure, natural or artificial. Pure and natural extracts are governed by laws in many countries that require compliance with procedures that take the extract ingredients directly from the named flavor, such as extracting oils directly from the vanilla bean to make pure or natural vanilla extract. Artificial extracts are flavors that do not necessarily use any ingredients directly from a source named for the extract but instead used combinations of ingredients to arrive at a flavor representative of the named food extract, such as artificial lemon extract. Some of the most widely used extracts include vanilla, almond, anise, maple, peppermint, and numerous solid or jelled extracts such as beef and chicken bouillon or meat demi-glaces. As an example of how the pure and natural extract is made, vanilla extract is created by soaking vanilla beans in water and an alcohol-based solution where it ages for several months, during which time the vanilla flavor is extracted from the bean. Anise extract, a sweet licorice tasting flavoring, is produced by dissolving the oil of anise seeds into alcohol. Grape extract is produced to assist with the wine making process. Compounds from the skin of grapes are extracted and added to the wine in order to impart tannin, color, and body into a wine. The characteristics of the wine can be changed dramatically by the amount of time the wine is in contact with the skins. If the grapes are in contact for too long, the resulting wine may be too potent, or what is sometimes called "over-extracted�. Juices of fruits and vegetables are often extracted as juice extracts to be used similar to other food extracts, as a flavoring when preparing foods. A common utensil for the purpose of extracting lemon juice is available to assist with home recipes requiring a lemon flavoring.

Tuesday, May 7, 2013
With all precincts reporting, the Associated Press has called the race for former Governor Mark Sanford. Voter turnout overall was 31.55%.
Throughout the district, his vote tally stands at 54.04 percent.
In today's First Congressional District race, Mark Sanford has 77,466 votes, or 54.04 percent. Elizabeth Colbert Busch has 64,818 votes or 45.21 percent. Green Party candidate Eugene Platt has 690 votes or .48%. Write in votes accounted for 383 votes or .27%.
All counties have completely reported.
Berkeley County strongly favored Sanford with 60.87 percent of the vote. Charleston County barely favored Sanford, with 50.21 percent of the vote, while Dorchester County overwhelmingly chose Sanford, with almost 60 percent of the vote.
Colleton County also overwhelmingly chose Sanford, with over 69% of the vote.
Beaufort County also went for Sanford with almost 53% of the vote.
Overall turnout in Dorchester County was 27.11 percent. Berkeley County had a turnout of 27.49 percent.
With less than two hours to go in the First Congressional District race, the most-complained about issue was the fact of Elizabeth Colbert Busch's name appearing on the ballot twice – once for the Democratic party and once for the Working Families party.
A printout at Reeves Elementary School explained that candidates in 2010 and 2012 were also on the ballot with more than one party, and that all votes for an individual are added together, regardless of party.
The voter ID requirement, which has been in place since the beginning of the year, actually made the process easier, several poll workers said.
By scanning the bar code on the back of the driver's license, poll workers immediately pull up the records of an individual voter, rather than having to type in the name and potentially scroll through several individuals with similar or the same names.
Voters offered a variety of reasons for choosing their candidates, but many, whether for or against Mark Sanford, brought up Sanford's personal life as a factor.
Yes, Sanford has "ghosts," said Larry Rogers at DuBose Middle School, but "that's part of politics."
"He's made one of the finest governors we've had," said Joyce Rogers.
Judy Gurevitz, however, couldn't choose Sanford.
"I can't get past what he's done in the past, and the present probably. And I'm normally a Republican," she said.
Patrick Munroe, however, was disgusted by the negative campaigning he saw coming from Colbert Busch and her supporters and decided to vote for Sanford.
"I was prepared to vote for his opponent until the dirt started spilling out," he said.
He had hoped for more discussion of the issues, he said.
Poll workers reported steady turnout at the polls earlier today in the First Congressional District race, with Bethany United Methodist Church hitting 18 percent turnout by noon.
Former Gov. Mark Sanford is facing Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch – and Green candidate Eugene Platt – in the special election for the seat vacated by Tim Scott when he was appointed to the Senate.
Workers at Dorchester Presbyterian Church said they were hoping for at least 30 percent turnout by the end of the day.
"We're going to have a good day. I know it," Bob Veline said.
There appeared to be no significant issues with the voter ID law or the voting machines, and Democratic poll watchers, including County Chairman Richard Hayes, reported a smooth process.
However, several poll workers said they'd gotten complaints that Colbert Busch's name appears on the ballot twice.
She is listed as the Democratic candidate and the Working Families candidate. Her votes will be added together at the end of the day.
Colbert Busch got several votes at Bethany United Methodist Church from people who thought Congress needs more women and didn't like Sanford's history.
"I know you're allowed to redeem yourself, but I can't see that he has," said Shirley Heath.
"Sanford abandoned the state of South Carolina. … You don't just disappear from the country," said Georgann Gentry.
At Fort Dorchester High School, Harriet Spann said she thought Colbert Busch was the best choice, and that she knows how to get jobs.
But Danny and Iris Winstead cast their votes for Sanford.
Iris Winstead said he's one of the "fiscal responsible ones."
And at Fort Dorchester Elementary School, Donald Cook also chose Sanford.
"I didn't want to vote for Pelosi and the Democrats. I could care less about his personal life," he said. "Results are what I'm after."
Vicki Vincent agreed.
"He will do what he says, which is change things," she said.
Voters headed to the polls had to remember to bring a photo ID. They also had to contend with the fact that schools were in session today, which caused voters at schools to deal with polling places that might have shifted elsewhere on campus.
They also had to keep in mind the dismissal schedule, contending with parents picking up children after school.

RENO/TAHOE - Single-digit temperatures and frozen ground are wreaking havoc on construction schedules across northern Nevada.Sub-freezing temperatures and record lows froze activity at construction sites from Lake Tahoe to Elko, forcing contractors to scramble to meet deadlines and oftentimes delaying crucial first-quarter revenue.In Truckee, where temperatures routinely dip well below zero, Clark & Sullivan Construction of Sparks is building an 8,500-square-foot clubhouse at Shaffer's Mill golf course. Superintendent Steve Jessup is forced to heat the lock to the job trailer with a hand-held blowtorch to gain entry in the mornings.In Sparks, where Gradex is performing site work for a new Maverick gas station at Legends at Sparks Marina, crews have had to work seven days a week to counter time lost to the cold.Gradex Superintendent Tony Evans says freezing temperatures affect nearly every aspect of site work."The impact is tremendous," he says. "You need water to mesh with the material, the dirt, to get it to compact. You are between a hard spot and a rock, really, because once your materials are compacted, overnight it freezes and it gets thicker and thicker."And in Elko, where nighttime temperatures are among the coldest in the state, work basically came to a standstill, says Q&D Construction's Lance Semenko, who heads the company's general engineering division.Frozen fill isn't the only problem with performing site work when temperatures hit single digits at night, Evans says. Last week crews were backfilling the concrete foundation with gravel to ready for a concrete pad, but the gravel had frozen into large piles and caused problems with the conveyor used to spread the material.Gradex also had to remove several yards of already-placed and compacted fill dirt because it had frozen solid and couldn't be worked."We either had to take it out and start with non-frozen material, or wait for it to thaw," Evans says. "The schedule on this project doesn't allow us to let it thaw. We got a foot of fill in, but it froze on us and we had to pull it out and start over - you can't place fill on frozen ground, because eventually it will thaw and you will have issues with unstable soil."To make up for missed time, contractors must to plan diligently and organize schedules with caution, beef up work crews, and work overtime to get as much work done as possible on warmer days, Evans says.That's how Clark & Sullivan beat the winter and enclosed the Shaffer's Mill clubhouse before snowstorms shut down work, says Project Estimator Doris Kelly.Construction routinely halts in the Lake Tahoe basin from October 15 to May 1, but Indian summers the past two years allowed contractors to capitalize on late-season warm weather. Clark and Sullivan had Truckee subcontractor Al Pombo work on the project upwards of 60 hours a week, and Pombo's crew performed site work until November under extension and gained about a month on the overall project schedule."We were able to get all the underground utilities and site work done," Kelly says. "Once the snow melts we won't have much time to get the landscaping, irrigation and sidewalks and paving done."Clark & Sullivan began work on June 14 and expects to be finished in early July - weather permitting. Since the building envelope was sealed prior to winter - the roofing contractor completed his work one day prior to the first snow - crews are now working inside completing interior treatments. Overtime may again be in the cards this spring if the snow lingers, Kelly says.Cold has all but shut down work in the Elko region, Q&D's Semenko says. Weather may delay crucial schedules, but project owners and contractors typically agree on days forfeited to weather aren't consider working days and therefore don't count against a company's allotment of scheduled work time."The weather really is not affecting the jobs because we are not working on them," Semenko said last week. "We haven't worked on stuff in Elko in a couple days."Reno-Sparks workmen stationed in Elko either have the option of staying in town at their own discretion or making the long drive back to the Truckee Meadows to spend off days with their families.Q&D's largest local job, pouring concrete along the Highlands Canal for Truckee Meadows Water Authority, also has been slowed due to the cold weather. Semenko says the delays can cause logjams in subsequent quarters."Things that were supposed to be done in the second quarter now show up in the third quarter, where we might have quite a few things that need to get finished," he says. "We might have to ramp up with additional men and machinery."

Wednesday, May 1, 2013
Charleston Charter School for Math and Science announces that it has received national certification for its Project Lead The Way (PLTW) program that it has been offering since 2008. (This is the second time the school has gone through the national certification process to validate its program.)
PLTW, a nonprofit organization and the nation's leading provider of STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) education programs, offers a rigorous world-class curriculum that allows students to apply what they are learning in math and science class to real-life biomedical science projects. PLTW also prides itself on high-quality professional development of its teachers and an engaged network of business, community and university partners to give students the fullest experience.
The national PLTW recognition program distinguishes schools for successfully demonstrating a commitment to PLTW's national standards. Additionally, certification as a PLTW school provides students with the opportunity to apply for college credit or receive college-level recognition at PLTW affiliate universities when they successfully complete select PLTW courses in high school. PLTW has more than 40 affiliate college and university partners, including the University of South Carolina.
In order to remain competitive in the global economy, America needs approximately 400,000 science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) college graduates annually, according to a National Business Roundtable report. Currently, the U.S. is graduating only 265,000 annually. PLTW is providing students with the skills, foundation and proven path to college and career success in STEM areas to increase the number of STEM graduates.
Dr. Stagliano, principal of Charleston Charter School for Math and Science said, "We've seen how the PLTW program draws more students into the biomedical sciences and gets them thinking about college and their careers. We are extremely proud to be PLTW certified and ecstatic that our students are eligible for college-level recognition, which may include college credit for select PLTW courses, scholarships and admissions preference."
As part of the recognition process, Dr. Stagliano and a team composed of teachers, staff, students and members of the community submitted a self-assessment of the school's implementation of PLTW's Biomedical Sciences (BMS) program. A site visit by a PLTW trained team followed. PLTW's team met with teachers, school administrators, counselors, students and members of the school's Partnership Team. A PLTW school's Partnership Team (sometimes referred to as an advisory council) is comprised of teachers, counselors, administrators, post-secondary representatives, business and industry professionals and other community members who actively support the PLTW program within a school.
"Charleston Charter School for Math and Science should be congratulated for demonstrating once again its commitment to PLTW's quality standards," said PLTW president and CEO Vince Bertram. "The real winners here, however, are CCSMS's students. Students benefit from PLTW's innovative, project-based curriculum that encourages creativity, problem solving, and critical thinking. We look forward to many more years of working together to prepare Charleston Charter students to become the most innovative and productive in the world."
Katie McGormley added, "The beauty of PLTW courses is that our kids get to experience how a concept they learned in science applies to a real-world project. In class, there are no lectures – kids are exploring the concepts of human medicine, mapping and analyzing DNA and designing innovative solutions for the health challenges of the 21st century. That is the kind of hands-on experience that will engage more students in fields that they might otherwise never have considered." For more information on PLTW, you may also contact Jennifer Cahill at the national office at 317-669-0871 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
