Over the past four years, East Cooper Community Outreach (ECCO) has been researching the most effective program to help the unemployed and underemployed to find a job or get a better job.
Our vision of "eliminating generational poverty in the East Cooper communities" calls for us to provide our neighbors opportunities to become economically independent. The objective is for every citizen to be free of any government assistance, have enough money to pay their bills and earn enough so they have some savings. The best way to accomplish this is help them find employment or better employment.
On Aug. 12, Goodwill Industries of Lower South Carolina opened a "Job Links Center" in our building at ECCO on Six Mile Road in Mount Pleasant. This will be the only Job Link Center in Mount Pleasant and East Cooper.
The hours of the Job Link Center will be 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The "center" will offer help with job searches, including career coaching, resume writing and assistance with on-line job applications. Specially trained staff will assist job seekers as they navigate through the myriad of challenges in a job search. Computer stations will be available for job searches and resume building at no cost to job seekers.
ECCO has studied many models across the country that seek to help people find and keep a job. The major obstacle to becoming self-sufficient is not just landing a job but keeping the job for the long term. The model we will develop for our community will provide both. The Job Links Center, led by Goodwill, will help people find and secure jobs. In September classes and job coaching will begin to work hand in hand with those who have landed a job to help them succeed during their first year.
When you have a big job to do, it's important to involve as many as you can to accomplish the task. That has been our philosophy over the years. We bring in the experts to assist us in accomplishing our vision. The wide array of services at ECCO today exists because of these collaborative relationships. Partnerships enhance our one-stop-shop to help our low-income neighbors. Today our partners include Charleston County Adult Education (GED and Workkeys), Roper Medical Center (Prescription Help and Health Education), the Medical University of South Carolina (Dental and Health), Marie Carter and Associates (Counseling), and Charleston Pro Bono Legal Services.
This new collaboration with Goodwill Industries of Lower South Carolina will be a significant addition to help boost those who need it the most in our East Cooper area.
Founded in 1989, in the aftermath of Hurricane Hugo led by Christ Our King Catholic Church, ECCO began by distributing emergency food and clothing. Services expanded through the years so that today ECCO is a place where our low-income neighbors can receive multiple services to help them through a crisis and move towards self-sufficiency.
Our original promise to our community continues, even while growing and expanding. ECCO exists to educate the uneducated, to inspire the hopeless and to foster the growth of those who are not able to dream of a better future.
Jack Little is the executive director of East Cooper Community Outreach.

Pryor, Okla., is a long way from Ohio, but a young man who lives there has ties to Tiffin and Seneca County. A high school senior, Garrett Yerigan has made a name for himself as the world's youngest professional rodeo announcer. Although he has never competed in a rodeo, he has been the subject of numerous newspaper and magazine articles.
"I did my first professional-sanctioned rodeo when I was 12 in Butler, Mo. That was six years ago now," Yerigan said in a phone interview. "A lot of people asked me if I was going to follow in my parents' footsteps."
His mother, Kathy Ink Yerigan, grew up in Republic and graduated from Seneca East High School. As a youth, Kathy took after her mother, Barbara Ink, and started barrel racing at age 9 or 10. Kathy remembers doing exhibition races at the Ohio State Fairgrounds in Columbus. Kathy's dad, the late Robert Ink, also had competed and judged rodeo events.
Article Photos
Garrett Yerigan (far left) gives the opening prayer from horseback at a rodeo.
Garrett — the "world's youngest rodeo announcer" — interacts with the audience at an event.
"My grandpa from that side of the family was big into rodeo and was a world-champion bareback bronco rider. Her mom was a barrel racer. They met on the rodeo trail, as well. Of course, my mom and her sisters got into it, naturally," Garrett said.
Rodeo introduced Kathy to her husband, Dale Yerigan, a steer wrestler. Dale said he got to know his father-in-law before he ever met Kathy. When they married in 1988, Kathy relocated to Oklahoma with Dale. The couple continued to compete, with Kathy taking a hiatus while pregnant with Garrett.
"We were traveling a lot then. I think he was about two weeks old when he went to his first rodeo." Dale said. "It just kept on going from there."
Even before he could read, Garrett had a knack for remembering names and rodeo jargon. At age 6 or 7, he started announcing during the "slack" between actual events. He played Little League sports but preferred to watch rodeo rather than to compete himself. Although he liked riding horses, exercising his mount was not a priority.
"At first, I was disappointed that he didn't want to compete," Kathy said. "He said it was too boring to ride around in circles. So when he was riding with me, he had his own rodeo."
Garrett attended many rodeos while his parents were still competing. Kathy continues to run barrels when she can fit it into her work schedule. A former 11-time world champion steer roper, Dale is retired from competition. Now, he attends many events as general manager of the International Pro Rodeo Association, based in Oklahoma City.
"The announcer was always something that caught my eye and looked like a lot of fun. You get to communicate with thousands of people and have fun with the different types of crowds." Garrett said.
The job also was attractive because he could collect a paycheck and be part of the pageantry without threat of injury.
A rodeo mantra says, "It's not a matter of when you get hurt, it's how bad." Garrett said most rodeo fans do not realize injuries can be devastating to a competitor.
"There's no multi-million dollar contracts like there is in the NFL and the NBA," he said. "In our sport, if you're not competing, you're not getting paid. The more time you're out, from an injury, that's more time you're away from money."
When the announcing invitations kept coming for Garrett, his parents arranged to drive him to various locations. Garrett said the job really took off when he was in seventh grade, as if someone had "flipped a switch." They had to make special arrangements with the school system.
"My junior-high principal was a rancher, and he understood the lifestyle of the Western way of life. He was a big rodeo fan and was in amazement that he had a radio announcer as one of his students," Garrett said.
As long as Garrett kept up on his grades and stayed out of trouble, the principal would excuse him from school. Garrett also needed to present a letter from the place where he was to work. Upon entering grade 10, Garrett wondered how the new administration might react to his work schedule. The junior-high principal said he would inform the high school about the arrangements that had been made.
"My superintendent, he's a very cool guy He's kind of a fan himself," Garrett said.
In 2007, Garrett started his own company, Lightning G Announcing and Sound. The business grew until he was doing video, lighting, special effects (such as lasers and pyrotechnics) and ground work. In 2011, he rebranded as Lightning G Productions to encompass all aspects of rodeo production.
"I enjoyed my rodeo career tremendously and I'm still involved in rodeo," Dale said. "It doesn't hurt my feelings that he's found a way to be involved in rodeo but with less risk and danger than competing."
Garrett works about 40 weekends a year at locations in Oklahoma, Texas, Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Iowa and Ontario, Canada. He is not afraid to work solo, but when his parents are available, they go along to help out. Kathy said she usually helps to pack and unpack or serves as a "go-fer." Dale and Garrett do the heaviest work setting up speakers and hanging banners. Sometimes Dale runs the music while Garrett is announcing.
"As we slowed down competing, he got more into the announcing and sound business. Now, I spend more time going with him than he does going with me," Dale said. "It's nice to do something with the family and get to travel some together."
Although the summer months are the busiest for rodeo, Garrett gets calls year-round. He said he usually is booked solid from the first weekend in March to the end of November. In the winter months, the contests move indoors. Garrett said the winter events tend to be more elaborate. Indoor venues allow for more entertainment options because electricity is accessible and the weather is not a factor.
In-ear monitors help Garrett to keep up with the action, and wireless microphones make it possible to announce from any location in the arena. Garrett often does the announcing on horseback, which allows him to make a quick exit at the start of an event. He said being in the arena also helps him relate to the crowd by letting them connect his face with the voice they are hearing.
"I enjoy it because you get to be out in the open and it makes me feel more involved in the rodeo also, because I'm down there and can be more hands-on with what's going on. A lot of times, it can make communication easier they can give you a list of the order, but if something happens - a horse squats in the chute or something - it's a lot easier if you're right there and they can say 'We're going to go to this horse instead.'"
When there is a lull in rodeo action, Garrett fills in with background information on the competitors, statistics, rules, historical tidbits, jokes and a list of coming events. He pays attention to audience response in choosing appropriate tunes, which are not limited to country music. When he is not working, he collects and edits special effects and obtains the most recent music to use at his events. He also maintains his website.
Of course, he also must find time for his school subjects and events. Kathy said she would like Garrett to earn a college degree as a "plan B" to use if rodeo should lose its appeal, if he needs to cut back on travel to have a family or if his voice gives out.
"I'm willing to let him do online classes ... but I would like him to have something to fall back on," Kathy said.
Garrett admits he has given some thought to college, but he doesn't need a degree to do his job. He fears technology would leave him behind and event managers would forget about him if he took four years away to be a student. The online courses seem to offer the most flexibility, he said.
Because of their busy schedules and six horses to care for, the Yerigans do not get to Ohio very often. Kathy was in the area last summer for a wedding, but she doesn't get home often. Her mom, now retired from Seneca East Schools, lives nearby in Oklahoma. Kathy's aunt, Joyce Dysard, and many school friends still live in Republic.

Benjamin M. Wassell is more than just the state's first defendant accused of illegal weapon sales under its tough new gun control law.
He's an Iraq War hero who, despite a traumatic brain injury from an improvised explosive device that destroyed his vehicle back in 2006, was able to lead other wounded Marines through a minefield to safety, according to loved ones and military records.
The 32-year-old Silver Creek man, who family members say would still be in the Marines had he not been severely injured, is also a devoted husband and father of two young children.
But Wednesday morning in Hanover Town Court, Wassell found himself at the center of the fierce debate spawned by the New York SAFE Act, adopted in response to the slaughter of Connecticut schoolchildren late last year.
Dressed in a dark suit, the hulking man, a towering 6 feet, 5 inches, his hair closely cropped, sat by his wife, who held their 4-month-old son, as more than 75 people, most of them supporters, crowded the courtroom.
"I can't speak about the case," Wassell told a reporter.
It didn't matter.
Others were more than willing to tell the story of Ben Wassell, starting off by saying he was unfairly arrested in an undercover State Police operation based on what his supporters say is an unjust law.
"My son served two terms in Iraq and was wounded twice. He was a sergeant in the Marines. He's a good man. He'll do anything for anybody. What they're doing to him is very unfair," Dianne Wassell said.
Patrick Hurley, his father-in-law, said that it is hard for Wassell to accept that he is now on the other side of the law.
"This is tearing him up. He's very patriotic. He has no criminal record," Hurley said.
Authorities, though, say Wassell flouted the new law by taking advantage of an increased demand for the banned assault-style weapons by adding features to make the two rifles he sold illegal and thereby increase their value.
He is accused of selling a Del-Ton AR-15 rifle, 299 rounds of ammunition and six large-capacity clips for $1,900 on Jan. 24, nine days after the SAFE Act was passed. That gun had an illegal pistol grip, telescoping butt and bayonet mount. On Feb. 24, he allegedly sold an Armalite AR-10 Magnum semiautomatic rifle with 21 rounds of ammunition for $2,600. That gun had a pistol grip.
Wassell is employed by a utility company to check rural gas lines and well heads, and also has a modest disability pension from his war injuries. He reportedly enhanced the guns to earn money to help support his family.
State police, in their complaint, pointed out that Wassell went through with the second sale even though the undercover officer told him he had a felony domestic violence conviction. Felons are prohibited from owning guns.
"In this case, he sold a dangerous assault weapon to an undercover police officer who could have very well been a dangerous felon looking to do harm in our community," said one law enforcement official familiar with the case.
Wassell also allegedly was selling or attempting to sell several other guns that he had illegally modified.
"He would get the main portion of the gun, the receiver with the barrel, and make modifications, like adding a flash suppressor, telescoping butt, bayonet mount, features that are currently prohibited under the SAFE Act," the official said.
If convicted on the three felonies and one misdemeanor he is charged with, Wassell could spend up to seven years in prison.
In a sign of how important authorities are taking this first case involving the new gun control law, the New York State Attorney General's Office is handling the prosecution rather than the Chautauqua County District Attorney's Office.
Assistant Attorney General Paul McCarthy, assigned to the case, said a special request was made to State Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman to handle the case.
"The attorney general prosecutes crimes when requested by a state agency, and in this case it was the State Police making the request," McCarthy said.
Wassell is being represented by Buffalo attorneys Paul J. Cambria Jr. and Michael S. Deal. Deal entered a not guilty plea on Wassell's behalf in front Hanover Town Justice Walter Klyczek, who adjourned the case to 2 p.m. April 17.
Outside the courtroom, Deal said he wanted to stress two points.
"Paul and I are looking out for Ben's best interests. That's of the utmost importance. Second, it should be known that Ben is a good man, a good father and someone who served in the military and sacrificed his health," Deal said. "He suffered a traumatic brain injury."
A Marine Corps "Certificate of Commendation," obtained by The News, describes how in 2006, during his second seven-month deployment to Iraq with the 1st Marine Logistics Group, Wassell had removed Marines more injured than himself from their vehicle, which had been destroyed by an explosive.
"When the blast occurred, he immediately realized the fuel tank was ruptured. With little regard to his own safety, Wassell escorted the wounded Marines to a recovery vehicle. His quick thinking prevented further injury to the Marines in his vehicle," the commendation stated.
Among Wassell's many supporters Wednesday were people he did not know.
"I came here to show support for another veteran," said Vietnam War veteran Ed McCarty of Hamburg. "It's illegal what [the police] are doing. They entrapped him."
Dan Devlin, a Buffalo resident who identified himself as from the Fundamental Human Rights Organization, said state government leaders are denying people a God-given right to defend themselves.
"The Legislature and governor apparently believe citizens don't have the right to protect themselves," Devlin said. "Even from a religious standpoint, we are obligated to defend the innocent and that happens to be with firearms or other instruments."

Getting lost along the Yellow Brick Road
April 27, 2013
Today marks the beginning of my second week in new work surroundings. My colleagues and I have abandoned our old headquarters near Washington, D.C....
Snyder works for NPR which just spent a couple hundred million dollars for it's now HQ. In another, quite similar, account Snyder wrote, he relates that he took the train. Here he says that he drives. Whatever the version, the story absolutely sucked and Snyder owes me the two minutes he took from my life.

Tuesday, May 14, 2013
Many of you have asked about Chanticleer, the rowdy rooster who showed up one day at the Ponderosa. (That's what Widdle calls the homeplace.)
He's fine, but he's no longer Chanticleer. During my boring, English-major explanation about Chaucer and the history behind the name, Widdle's eyes glazed over. Then he gave me his patented "My wife always brings the crazy" look and said: "I call him Roy."
Widdle bought a bag of chicken scratch at the feed store, and Roy has settled in. He disappears sometimes (more on that later), but when in residence he hangs out 'neath the old oak tree or under a gigantic rosebush by the picket gate.
As large as he is, Roy can be surprisingly hard to see, even with his giant red comb and green tail feathers. When he startles me I drop groceries and library books. When I startle him he flaps his wings and poops, which doesn't help my self-esteem.
Widdle and I keep the scratch on the side porch and alternate feeding Roy in the unfenced yard twice a day. Roy may have a soybean-sized brain, but he quickly figured out that food comes from the porch attached to the house where the two-legged creatures live.
One morning last week, Widdle let Nicky, aka Babygirl, out the porch door to relieve herself in the clover patch. (She gets unsupervised potty breaks because in eight years she's never left the yard.)
I was still sleeping blissfully when Widdle walked in our bedroom cackling. (You knew I had to do that sooner or later, right?) "I just looked out to check on Nicky and Roy has her hemmed up on the porch!" he blurted.
I shot upright and screamed, "Nobody puts Baby in a corner!" As I staggered raving towards the door, Widdle began gently herding me in circles back to bed.
"Calm down, I'll handle it," he said. Which meant he let Nicky in and fed her sliced turkey until Roy gave up and wandered off.
In just a few weeks, Roy has become a fixture at our house. He comes a bit closer to us every day. And each time Nicky chases him, they both go a little slower. It's hilarious—these days she strolls after him and he just ambles away looking bored. They'll be sharing acorns before it's over.
We like having Roy around. He eats lots of bugs and has quite the personality. But here's the thing: Roy may be running a con.
Last Sunday, during the "joys and concerns" segment of the service at our church, I raised my hand to speak. Normally I don't open my mouth, but this was at 8:30 a.m. so I wasn't fully awake.
When the pastor said, "What is your joy?" I replied, "We have a rooster." I said a few more words about Roy--and here's the great thing about life in the country: Everyone smiled and nodded. No-one said, "That's silly," or "Say what?" Country people know about roosters—and, it turns out, Roy in particular.
One lady, a longtime member, said, "That rooster shows up at my house all the time. He comes through the woods." A man said, "He comes by my place, too."
Roy was looking for a better deal!
Widdle turned as red as a Roy's comb, and fowl jealousy flew through me. I wanted to cry, "He's MY rooster!" but Widdle's elbow was in my ribs.
So here I am, middle-aged and worrying about mortality and mortgages, salvation and the stock market… and my rooster is running around on me. That's nothing to crow about.
Julie R. Smith, who plans to follow Roy this week, can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

An Elkins woman charged with accidentally shooting a man in the back while she was under the influence of alcohol pleaded guilty to one felony and two misdemeanors - neither of which were directly related to the shooting - in Randolph County Circuit Court Friday.
Samantha Ashley Armentrout pleaded guilty to one felony count of conspiracy of possession with intent to deliver, one misdemeanor count of possession of a controlled substance, cocaine, and one misdemeanor count of possession of a controlled substance, marijuana.
In exchange, Randolph County Prosecuting Attorney Michael Parker made a motion to dismiss the other eight felonies Armentrout had been charged with due to the fact that Timothy Myers Jr. - Armentrout's co-defendant and the man she was accused of accidentally shooting in the back - had absconded.
"In light of the fact that a capias had to be issued for Timothy Myers, the victim in the case, he is no longer available as a witness," Parker said. The prosecuting attorney also said he wouldn't be opposed to Armentrout being sentenced under the Youthful Offenders Act, as she was just 22 at the time the shooting occurred.
Armentrout allegedly shot Myers in the back near his right shoulder blade on May 31, 2012, while trying to demonstrate that a pistol was unloaded. Police reported finding a "substantial" amount of illegal narcotics at the residence and noted that Armentrout was under the influence of alcohol at the time of the alleged crime, according to previous reports.
In November 2012, a grand jury indicted Armentrout on nine felonies, including wanton endangerment involving a firearm and assault during the commission of or attempt to commit a felony.
Armentrout's attorney, William T. Nestor, said he believed the agreement was "a fair and equitable plea" given Armentrout's age.
"This was an accident," Nestor said. "These charges had the potential to put her away for life, so I believe two misdemeanors and one felony would definitely be beneficial to her."
When Randolph County Circuit Court Judge Jaymie Godwin Wilfong asked Armentrout what she did that made her guilty of the three offenses, Armentrout responded, "I brought the wrong man home."
"That's not a crime - that's a bad decision," Wilfong said.
Armentrout then admitted to helping Myers sell cocaine.
"I knew he was selling drugs and I took him to places, to people's houses, while he was selling it," Armentrout said. "He was dealing cocaine.
"So how'd you get hooked up with this guy?" Wilfong wanted to know.
"I met him at a friend's house... and he gave me a ride home," Armentrout said.
"And the rest is history?" Wilfong asked.
"I guess so," Armentrout said.
Wilfong ordered a presentence investigation be conducted in light of the fact that Armentrout had absconded from a drug treatment facility and from the North Central Community Corrections program.
Sentencing is set for 9 a.m. May 3.

Prince William on Saving Lives: There's 'No Greater Calling'
"There's no greater feeling than when you've actually done some good and saved someone's life," the prince, 30, says in an upcoming documentary.
"I don't think there's any greater calling in life … to be able to see a son or daughter's face when you bring their mother or father back from the edge of death – it's quite powerful."
Flt. Lt. Wales, as he is known in the RAF, appears in a new series called Helicopter Rescue which starts broadcasting on BBC One Wales on April 8.
It is the second series of the show that was first broadcast in 2012. This year follows the crews at William's base on Anglesey and the RMB Chivenor base in Devon, England.
In one scene, William is the captain as the crew is called to an old slate quarry in Blaenau Ffestiniog, Wales, where a boy has fallen off an old railway bridge onto rocks.
"As captain you're trying to play out the entire rescue, the transit to the rescue and back again in your mind, and pick up any circumstances or problems you can foresee, and try and fix them on the ground before you get airborne," William says.
Other crewmen talk about being "scared at times," while winchman Master Aircrewman Richard Taylor adds, "It's a challenging procedure and inherently dangerous to put a man on a very thin piece of wire, hanging underneath nine tons of helicopter that's susceptible to turbulence and problems itself, and may have to fly away."
SAC Faye Storer, MOD
The Sea Kings are being replaced in the search and rescue service, which will is set to be carried out by a private company headquartered in Texas starting in 2015.
William's current posting in North Wales ends later this year, and he is set to reveal soon whether he will sign up for another stint, move to another part of the military or leave the services to start full-time royal duties, or take a different route outside forces life altogether.

Perachel in the PJO fandom is the ship that must never be shipped. It's made up of Percy Jackson and Rachel Elizabeth Dare. It is obviously impossible cause ya know, percabeth ftw. Perachel can't compete with everyone's OTP.
Oh my gods did you see the perachel ship sink? PERCABETH FTW!

Can you define these popular missing words?
Perachel is the ship of Percy Jackson and Rachel Elizabeth-Dare, From "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" And "Hero's of Olympus" book series by Rick Riordan. Although many people prefer Percabeth, there are a few fans who choose Rachel over Annabeth.
During "The Last Olympian" Percy and Rachel were driving Percy's step-father's Prius. When Charles Beckendorf landed on the hood, telling Percy he was needed at Camp, Rachel kissed him good bye. One of the most defined Perachel moments.

Whoa, Nelly!
The rapper – who has kept mum about his romance with Ashanti for years – is finally ready to dish.
The key to their below-the-radar relationship, he tells PEOPLE, is that they both love to have a good time.
"That's the thing between me and her, we just like having fun," he said Sunday at Las Vegas's Lavo club, where he was celebrating his 34th birthday.
Although Ashani was in Japan and couldn't attend the party, Nelly admitted that the two have been "hanging out for a minute." (That's a bit of an understatement. In fact, they've been linked on and off since 2003.)
So is it serious?
"I think it's always serious," he said, "when you can hang with a person continuously ... and ["still"] have fun."
Earlier this summer, Ashanti would only call Nelly a "good friend." But, she coyly told PEOPLE, an engagement could "definitely [be] in the future."

Fifth Harmony and One Direction have a lot in common.
Both groups auditioned as five individuals before being put together by The X Factor mentors. Both groups went on to place third on their seasons. And, now, both groups have been signed by their X Factor mentor Simon Cowell.
"I knew from the girls' first performance at the judges' homes that we'd done the right thing," Cowell, in an exclusive statement, tells PEOPLE of Fifth Harmony. "The chemistry between the girls both on stage and off is fantastic, and they are incredibly talented."
Fifth Harmony's Ally Brooke, 19, Camila Cabello, 15, Normani Hamilton, 16, Dinah Jane Hansen, 15, and Lauren Jauregui, 16, developed a loyal fan base of "Harmonizers" during the Fox reality show's second season and have now signed a recording deal with Cowell's Syco Music and fellow X Factor mentor L.A. Reid's Epic Records.
"The fact that we're being given the opportunity to make music that we want feels like a dream we never want to wake up from. I literally have to pinch myself," says Cabello, who is known to fans for her signature hair bows.
The group's debut album will be executive produced by Julian Bunetta (whose credits include One Direction, Boys II Men and Leona Lewis), but the girls seem most excited to be reunited with each other in the recording studio after being apart for the holidays.
"I am going to have a blast working with my girls," Brooke says. "I promise we are going to bring it."
One of Fifth Harmony's most memorable performances was a cover of Ellie Goulding's "Anything Can Happen" – and how true that is, given what has taken place for a group of girls who, less than a year ago, were total strangers.

DeLaval Opti Blue™: The dairy industry's first DDBSA-based pre-dip
DeLaval Opti Blue™: The dairy industry's first DDBSA-based pre-dip
DeLaval strives to offer dairy producers effective, fast-acting teat dips to help them protect the milk quality and udder health of their herd. With the launch of DeLaval Opti Blue™ – a pre-milk teat dip – customers can be sure that even heavily soiled teats are clean before milking. Lab and customer tested, DeLaval Opti Blue can help farmers cost-effectively fight mastitis – the number one on-farm disease responsible for milk loss.
Formulated with dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid (DDBSA) and two percent glycerin for teat skin conditioning, DeLaval Opti Blue kills the most common mastitis-causing pathogens in 15 seconds. Lab tests at the DeLaval facility in Kansas City, Mo., showed DeLaval Opti Blue to have a 99.999% kill rate (or log reduction of 5) even with a 1 percent milk soil challenge.
Germicidal Efficacy of DeLaval Opti Blue™
Tests of DeLaval Opti Blue performed with a 1 percent milk soil challenge by a DeLaval R&D lab in Kansas City, Mo. Check mark = 99.999 percent kill rate or a log reduction of 5.
Maintaining good udder health is essential to a dairy producer's operation, says Dr. Tom Hemling, Vice President of Research & Development for DeLaval. "To help ensure herd productivity, DeLaval is continuously developing new teat dip solutions and testing them against the strict EN 1656 test protocol."
Hemling continues: "The cleaning action and germicidal killing power of DeLaval Opti Blue is excellent. It can remove and suspend soils while also weakening and disrupting bacteria cell walls killing what's inside."
Available to customers in the U.S., DeLaval Opti Blue can be applied as a foam, dip or spray – making it flexible enough to accommodate any producer's pre-milk hygiene routine. DDBSA, the primary active ingredient in DeLaval Opti Blue, naturally has good foaming properties. The product's blue color is very obvious when applied as foam helping to ensure every cow gets wiped clean before milking.
The active ingredients in DeLaval Opti Blue make it gentle on teats and safe for milkers to handle. There is also no strong smell or skin staining associated with DeLaval Opti Blue. The product comes pre-mixed and formulated for year-round use.

Friday, February 14, 2014
In 1984, 23-year-old David Pulliam decided to open his own business in Summerville. Pulliam Home Remodeling was small then; the company focused on windows, siding and roofing, was operated out of Pulliams house and he worked in the field on the projects alongside employees.
Thirty years later, Pulliam Home Remodeling has expanded drastically; the business is housed in its own showroom on Miles Road, offers services such as constructing home additions and remodeling bathrooms, and Pulliam works in the office with his four children.
But regardless of the expansion, Pulliam said many things about the business are still the same as when he started.
We still have the same name, the same phone number, we havent changed the little things.
Its that consistency that has kept customers coming back for 30 years, he said.
Weve grown leaps and bounds, for sure. But we get so much repeat business it pays to do quality work.
To Pulliam, his businesss reputation is key, and it what he credits his success to.
Its just like telling your kids your reputation is everything, he said. We always use high-end products, we use our own employees for installations, thats helped keep our reputation strong.
Building relationships is also a key part of his success, and Pulliam said thats where his passion lies.
I love dealing with people, and I work in our sales full-time now, so I work with people every day.
He maintains strong relationships both inside and outside of the office.
I have a lot of long-term employees. Were very close its a family. We might not all be blood related, but its a family.
But much of the business is blood related: daughters Brook, Sarah and Amanda help run the office and son Little David is in charge of permitting and inspections.
It has its ups and downs, but we get along pretty good, said Pulliam of working with hs family.
Its a close-knit business Pulliam said hes proud of, which is why hes never opened a second office and doesnt accept jobs outside a 100-mile radius of Summerville.
Part of our new tagline is buy local and I believe in that. I shop at Mr. Ks and not Publix because I like to buy from people in Summerville who live here. I spend my money locally and I hope other people do the same thing.
And by keeping it local, Pulliam has faith his business will stay strong. Well, were still here after 30 years I know the business will be here many years after Im gone.

National 4-H Dairy Conference descends on Fort Atkinson
National 4-H Dairy Conference descends on Fort Atkinson
Signaling the start of World Dairy Expo week for those of us at Hoard's Dairyman is always the annual visit from the National 4-H Dairy Conference. Today, around 200 attendees from across the country (and some from Canada, too!) made stops at the Hoard's Dairyman offices, Hoard's Dairyman Farm, Nasco, and the National Dairy Shrine and Hoard Historical Museum. Lunch is served annually at the church just across the street from our offices in a traditional church dining hall. In a visit to a historical dairy town like Fort Atkinson, it only makes sense to eat a home-cooked meal prepared by members of our community. Thank you again to the wonderful group of cooks and servers from the church!
We were lucky to have had perfect weather today — and the good news is that it is supposed to last all week. The morning started quite chilly in the low 40's, but bright sun has warmed us into the mid-60's. This made for happy 4-H'ers touring today.
While making stops at our offices and farm, attendees learned more about what it takes to turn an idea for an article into reality. It takes much time and dedication of our staff to put a magazine in your mailbox 20 times each year. Currently, our staff is already in the beginning stages of our October 25, 2010, issue. This issue will be completed after World Dairy Expo as it will highlight many of the week's winners and happenings, so please watch for it or view it online.
Don't forget to stop back here on our Hoard's @ Expo blog often, to see more of what's happening during World Dairy Expo week.

WAIKAPU - Despite continued talks among government officials of recent sequestration and looming budget woes, the economies of Maui County and the state are actually in pretty good shape, economists say.
"Last year, I was quoted in the paper as saying it's not the boom years, but it's pretty good. Well, we're getting pretty darn close to boom years," said Carl Bonham, executive director of the University of Hawaii Economic Research Organization.
He presented an economic update and forecast, based on research gathered by UHERO, at the annual Maui Small Business Awards Luncheon on Friday at the King Kamehameha Golf Club.

Carl Bonham, executive director of the University of Hawaii Economic Research Organization, delivers an upbeat economic update and forecast for Maui County on Friday during the annual Maui Small Business Awards Luncheon.
The Maui News / JOE BRADLEY photo
Tourism is expected to continue to grow at a slower but still steady pace next year; the construction industry is finally beginning to regain its footing; residential building permits are growing rapidly; homes are selling at firmer prices; and jobs are estimated to grow by 2.6 percent this year, according to Bonham.
But tourism industry growth, which was a large factor in carrying Hawaii's economy in times of a stressed global economy, will taper off over the next few years, as hotel occupancies are reaching their maximum capacities, Bonham said. UHERO analysts expect that after a 6.5 percent growth in visitor arrivals this year, the numbers will start dropping to a growth of 2.1 percent in 2014 and 1.5 percent in 2015.
These setbacks may be offset by the rise of the construction industry over the next few years, Bonham said. Last year, residential building permits grew by more than 20 percent; median single-family home prices on Oahu rose by 8.5 percent; and condo prices increased 5.3 percent.
"Overall, it's a fairly optimistic forecast," he said.
The economic update, along with other portions of the program, are essential for small business professionals, said Pamela Tumpap, president of the Maui Chamber of Commerce.
The annual event, hosted by the chamber and sponsored by American Savings Bank, drew dozens of small-business owners, banking professionals and county officials.
"Events like this give you an opportunity to network and connect with people, leverage precious time, gain access to information like economic updates . . . honor amazing small businesses and learn from their accomplishments," Tumpap said.
Small businesses account for 75 percent of new jobs in our economy, she added.
This year's Maui County winners included Brandon LaBonte of Ardent Management Consulting, who won the Small Business Person of the Year award; Georgia Keenan-Abilay and Michael Dupree of Blue Ginger Cafe, who won the Family-Owned Small Business award; Thomas Chou of Rainbow Tax and Financial Services, who won the Minority Small Business Champion award; and Linda Okamoto of Okamoto Realty in Lanai City, who won the Women in Business Champion award.
Three business professionals from Maui County went on to win state awards. Robert Kawahara of Kawahara + Co. won the Financial Services Champion award; Craig Swift of Maui Economic Opportunity Inc.'s Business Development Division won the Home-Based Business Champion award; and Leslie Wilkins of the Maui Economic Development Board won the Veteran Small Business Champion award.
Winners were chosen by a committee from the U.S. Small Business Administration's Hawaii District Office. Nominees were judged based on a number of factors, such as how long they've been in the business, how much they've increased annual sales, how many jobs they've created, community service initiatives and innovation, according to Jane Sawyer, SBA district director.
The Maui Chamber of Commerce, in its seventh year of hosting this event, will continue to celebrate and to be a resource for small businesses, Tumpap said.
"The chamber is nonpartisan, nonsectarian; but make no mistake we're biased for business," she said.

Recipes from "The Lee Bros. Charleston Kitchen"
Henry's Cheese Spread
Makes: 1½ cups, enough for 6 to 8 people for snacking
"Of all the elegant touches at Henry's (restaurant), which survived until 1985, when the family sold it, our favorite was the iced crudite dish set down on every table at the start of the meal. The plate, a simple steel oval, cradled celery, radishes, green cocktail olives and an astonishingly good cheese spread."
10 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, grated (3 cups)
2 ounces (¼ cup) lager or ale
Juice of 1 lemon (3 tablespoons)
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon prepared horseradish, drained
2 teaspoons hot sauce, such as Tabasco or Crystal
1½ teaspoons dry mustard
1 garlic clove, minced
Combine all the ingredients in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until the mixture is smooth and spreadable. Transfer to a small bowl to serve.
Syllabub With Rosemary-Glazed Figs
Serves: 4
For the syllabub:
½ cup Sercial Madeira or Amontillado sherry
Peel of ½ lemon
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1½ tablespoons sugar
Pinch of kosher salt
1 cup heavy cream, cold
For the rosemary-glazed figs
½ cup sugar
2 (3-inch) long sprigs rosemary
Pinch of kosher salt
4 ounces fresh figs (about 4 large), stemmed and quartered
Make the syllabub: Put all syllabub ingredients except for the cream into a large bowl, and whisk until the sugar has dissolved, about a minute. Let stand in the fridge, about 1 hour.
Make the rosemary-glazed figs: Heat the sugar and ¼ cup of water in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Add the rosemary and the salt, stir for about 30 seconds to dissolve the salt and bruise the rosemary, and turn off the heat. Cover and let cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
Put the figs in a small bowl, drizzle 2 to 3 tablespoons of the rosemary syrup over them, and toss gently to coat. (If the figs are less than ripe, let them stand in the syrup for 30 minutes to sweeten.) Reserve the remaining syrup for another use, such as sweetening lemonade.
Remove the lemon peel from the wine mixture. Pour the cream into the wine and whisk by hand until the cream is thick and holds its shape, about 2 minutes. Divide the syllabub among four wine glasses or sundae cups and spoon the rosemary-glazed figs over each serving.

ITA agree PL. I also hate fruit flavored chocolate. Chocolate raspberry has to be the worst. Chocolate orange is pretty bad too. Now candied ginger in chocolate I love.

Bwaahh... you go girl! Although I am partial to fruit and chocolate, there is nothing like a mass of chocolate sitting on your plate...oozing chocolatey goodness..
Coleslaw: hate it.
Riz de veaux/sweetbreads: beyond vile
Blood sausage: 'nuff said

You are a tasteless cretin , chocolate and rasberry are an orgasmic combination.Originally Posted by lash
That being said, I repeat that chocolate in and of and by itself is lovely.
eggs except hard boiled whites
oatmeal........slimy gross paste with texture....screw the health benefits
soggy anything...............piecrusts, cereal yuk,yuk,yuk
cooked spinach.......I'm with Sean here love it raw hate it cooked
baked potatoes that are not hot out of the oven.....after a few minutes they taste funky
tea of any kind...........I have tried, I love the idea of having tea, heck I live in the almost South, can barely stomach a cup of Constant Comment hot but that's as far as this gal goes, and as for herbal teas.......grass clippings flavored with bad koolaid
oysters, mussels........those who love them do know what that black stuff is don't you??????
surimi (fake shellfish)..........taste like poached rubberbands
milk that isn't either hot or on ice....nothing in between
softdrinks that aren't REALLY sparkly
lettuce on hot sandwiches
peanut butter & jelly together.......why
fake cheese......velveeta, nacho sauce whatever you call it...... just say NO
crawfish........sorry to all you cajun chefs but once you have disected something that has been "marinated' in formaldehyde it just doesn't make it's way back to the menu
meatloaf or casseroles where the ingrediants are not very obvious......one person's daily special is another's offering to the disposal, IMO

PICKLES (wouldn't touch with a 100-ft pole. They also smell like ****, imo of course)
Cole Slaw (like another poster)
ZUCCHINI (makes me gag for some reason)
MAYONNAISE- that stuff is simply disgusting IMO. Can't even say what I think it tastes like or reminds me of here. Actually, any kind of condiment, but this is the worst.
I hate:
Brussel Sprouts
Vegetarian Shepherd's Pie (Why bother ruining such a lovely dish? )
I like or can bear everything else.
Shellfish, lobster, crab, etc
Bacon, sausage, ham, and pork. Everyone else in my family loves the stuff, I have hated it since I could remember...blech!
ITA, I'm exactly the same way. It is extremely irritating to me to be eating otherwise perfectly good ice cream and baked goods and have to pick those stupid nut pieces out of it. It's the culinary equivalent of driving along a perfectly smooth road until you hit five miles of speed bumps.....Originally Posted by guinevere
I eat most stuff, but some combinations of things really turn me off.
I like green beans and potatoes by themselves, but can't stand them in any kind of tomato based sauce (and my Italian mother in law used to make things like this all the time).
Instant mashed potatoes.
Most sweetened drinks. Most sodas, sweet tea, sweet coffee...I gag on it.
Canned peas and canned spinach
Peanut butter on a sandwich without jelly. Too dry. I can't swallow it.
Okay...at first glance, I thought the thread title was *fools* you hate. I could have had a heyday with that one!
So it's food...I *hate* (despise, can't stand, gag) brussels sprouts. I've hated them since I was wee little and mother used to force us to eat them. I'm serious -- the smell made me gag.
Something else I have no desire to try at all is sauerkraut -- it just looks bad.
Other than that, I'll eat just about anything...
I don't eat red meat, lamb, rabbit, etc.--poor little creatures who would otherwise be enjoying their simple lives. Just the thought of eating veal or the cruelty of how that particular animal is treated, torn from its Mother, makes me want to cry.
I don't eat pork or shellfish and I eat very little chicken or turkey--and given how I feel about animals, my goal is to give them up completely.
Allergic to a lot of tropical fruits: bananas, cherries, mango & a few more. Otherwise, I love all other fruit.
Now, about foods I cannot stand: Asparagus, okra, cooked spinach (but I could eat an entire bag of it uncooked) and brussel sprouts. Don't know why. I like pretty much all other vegetables, although a lot of them I do prefer uncooked (e.g. broccoli, cauliflower--LOVE these uncooked).
Whipped or instant potatoes: gross. I like mashed potatoes as long as they're on the hard side.
Runny eggs--any egg that jiggles at me wetly. Just the thought of eating a sunny side up egg makes me ill.
Since my big weight loss, I don't drink sodas anymore. Had a couple of sips of diet coke, even THAT tastes too sweet for me. Also, since the weight loss, anything with a lot of sodium tastes terrible to me (e.g. a lot of processed foods).

I'm not that picky, actually.
Of course, I'm not too fond of any kind of innards, but that's just decency
But I DO abhore anchovies! Had them on a greek salad. Put one in my mouth and bleh. Ruined my whole meal. lol
I don't hate pork, but I try to stay away from eating it. There must be a reason why it's not kosher.
Eggs other than Scambled or Omelettes and Mac & Cheese and Tuna Salad. I think it's because I don't like the smell of hard boiled eggs and the Mac & Cheese and Tuna Salad. Never liked it as a child and the smell just signals 'nasty' to me. Oh - and Liver - never liked the taste.
I'm a lot less picky as an adult. As a kid, I wouldn't eat anything with mayo or cream based (ie. chowder). I like chowder now and if there's just a light layer of Mayo, I'm ok with it.

Benefit officials said the Fringe star, 33, accompanied by his longtime love, Diane Kruger, won a necklace by designer Carla Amorim with a bid of $45,000. The "Boreal" necklace is made with 11.7 carats of white diamonds set in 18k rose gold.
Jackson was reportedly overheard saying it was an engagement present for her. Sources close to the couple, however, say engagement buzz is not true.
Jackson and Kruger, 35, who wore a cream-colored Prabal dress, and Rose McGowan, wearing Monique Lhuillier, were among the celebrities who drove in from the Cannes Film Festival for the dinner at the Hotel de Paris.
Prince Albert hosted the gala with his sister Princess Caroline and Albert's cousin Baroness Elizabeth-Anne de Massy, and President Clinton gave a brief speech.
Guests dined on farm-raised veal, fish, zucchini caviar and truffled vinaigrette from Hotel de Paris master chef Alain Ducasse.
Albert's wife, Princess Charlene, was not present. Palace officials said the dinner was meant to be a "gentlemen's evening" and that the 34-year-old princess did not want to "take away" from Albert and Clinton's announcement that their foundations will work together on global issues such as environment, health issues and more.

MARTINSBURG - In preparation for an upcoming meeting with representatives from Tough Mudder, county organizations involved with the competition met to discuss their concerns and requests for the fall event.
Tuesday, representatives from the Berkeley County Council, Berkeley County Medical Center, Berkeley County Sheriff's Department, Ambulance Authority and other entities held a roundtable-style discussion, with each representative discussing how to improve the public safety aspect of the fall event.
The lack of communication between Tough Mudder and county organizations during the two-day event was the greatest shared concern.
"They had their own radio system and their own communication, and they weren't linked with us. I saw some of their staff walking around with as many as four radios," said Kenneth "Kenny" LeMaster, Berkeley County sheriff.
Other issues expressed by the group included the organization's desire to be better utilized by Tough Mudder and the conflict of events during the fall event, Oct. 19-20, which coincides with the Mountain State Apple Harvest festival.
An alternative to enhance communication among all entities suggested by members was to establish a mobile command center from where all agencies could operate.
"We need a unified command center, whether it's through the sheriff's office or the ambulance authority's (unit), it doesn't matter. We just need one place where everyone can go sit down and if something comes up, we can keep track of it and know if it's been taken care of instead of calling across radios," said L.T. Puffenburger said, fire chief for Back Creek Valley Volunteer Fire Department.
Another safety measure discussed was to create a list that transcribes types of injuries, such as sprains, broken bones or heart attacks, into code so when an injury is reported over the radio, non-medical personnel will not be able to identify the injury to post on Facebook or other social media sites.
Many of the agencies present at the meeting expressed the desire to increase their presence at the fall Tough Mudder event.
At the spring race, the Berkeley County Ambulance Authority had two units and six people, which Michael Barrett, a captain with the Berkeley County Ambulance Authority, said was very taxing on the personnel and turned them into little more than a taxi service.
To be effective, Barrett believes there needs to be a minimum of four units and 15 people at the fall competition.
One of the concerns for the upcoming event shared by every involved county agency was the race coinciding with the Mountain State Apple Harvest Festival. Concerns include the strain on county resources between both covering the two events and the units and personnel who will be in the Apple Harvest parade.
Since Tough Mudder is the agency which will ultimately decide if the event will be moved to a different date, Berkeley County Council member Doug Copenhaver said all county agencies need to prepare for the possibility of being responsible for monitoring both events.
"In the past, Apple Harvest it's the one day of the year that the whole department worked. It's not an exception for us to do that," LeMaster said. "We can make it happen, with the exception of if something else happens. Then we're going to have to pull (personnel) from both events."
Since Tough Mudder is a private event, not a public event, any county organization whose services are used, such as the ambulance authority and volunteer fire department, are compensated for their services.
If it becomes necessary for county resources to cover both the Tough Mudder event and Apple Harvest, Gary Collis, program manager for Berkeley County Emergency Ambulance Authority, said he would prefer to cut down on the number of units and personnel covering Tough Mudder to monitor Apple Harvest and Berkeley County.
"I'd rather use units from Morgan County or Jefferson County. I'd rather keep our units available in Berkeley County, which pays an ambulance fee. That's the people we need to transport to the hospital and take care of. When someone is going into a house to pick up a patient, I'd rather it be from Berkeley County Ambulance Authority than Morgan County," Collis said.
According to Copenhaver, 5,000 participants have already registered for the fall Mid-Atlantic Tough Mudder race.
Tough Mudder representatives will meet with county organizations Thursday for an after-action meeting report and to discuss potential issues surrounding the fall event. Each of the concerns and recommendations discussed at Tuesday's meeting will be presented to Tough Mudder's representatives for consideration.
