Justin Farnsworth has a goal to help turn Dorchester District Two into a world-class district.
That is why Farnsworth has thrown his hat into the ring and is running in DD2s board election.
The big thing I want is to make a positive difference in our community, he said. You look at it right now and we have a great school district but I dont know itd be considered a world-class district.
I think were getting there but I think we have to have really the best leadership that we can put on our school board if were going to continue down that path.
Farnsworth ran for school board in 2012. At the time three seats were available. The numbers did not work out in Farnsworths favor but he holds onto a particular saying: Experience is what you get when you didnt get what you wanted.
I had a lot of experience, met a lot of great people in our community and just knew I could make a difference, he said. So thats what is important to me in this go around to give it another try.
Farnsworth is vice president of operations at Automated Trading Desk in Mt. Pleasant. He will have been married to his wife Jessica 12 years in August and has two children in the district: Blake is a rising third-grader and Zoe is a rising kindergartener at Flowertown Elementary.
Farnsworth said Jessica has taught third grade at Flowertown Elementary and will be a Title One facilitator next year.
The family ties to DD2 is another push for Farnsworth to get involved with the school board.
For me a lot of it is about the community and the relationships, he said, adding he feels many people are not familiar with the board or what it actually does. Which is unfortunate; the school board manages $150 million worth of taxpayers money every year.
They also manage our childrens day to day lives so I think its really important that we do everything we can to have that positive communication and those relationships, which I will bring to the board.
Farnsworth also hopes to bring a perspective on business and finance to the board. He recently finished his MBA from the Rochester Institute of Technology and feels it is important to have that business perspective. I think its important that we have really good people people with vested interest on our board, he said. To me if you dont have that vested interest than you wont make decisions that are in the best interest of whats important, and thats our kids.
Looking forward, Farnsworth hopes to assist in the ongoing construction projects by making sure the district stays within budget and that the buildings are built in an expeditious manner safely, and in the interest of the kids, parents and educators, and make sure the schools are what the community needs for the best price possible.
Farnsworth currently serves on the advisory board for DD2s Edge Academies, which is through a partnership between the Chamber and DD2.
Edge Academies are career academies within the districts high schools. Right now there is a STEM academy and next year there will be an academy for business, finance and management.
Farnsworth was part of Leadership Dorchester 2013, and his class worked to promote the Sweet Tea Trail and placed banners on Main Street. Farnsworth also just found out that he has been accepted into Leadership Carolina. He is also part of the Education Foundation, which is also part of the Chamber and facilitates the Principal for a Day program something Farnsworth does every year.
Thats been interesting to see what principals go through every day, he said. With Jessica as a teacher I thought I had an idea. Then youre in there and you follow this principal and theyre just everywhere. Theyre unbelievable I cant even describe the whirlwind of events they have to deal with day in and day out.
For just over a year Farnsworth was also co-chair of the Oversight Committee recently rebranded as the Yes4Schools Committee.
DD2 continues to grow at a record pace and people move here because of our schools, he said. People see we have great schools, great teachers and we have a great community.
So I want to make sure were taking that and building on all of those aspects.

Pulmonary veno-occlusive disease is an extremely rare disease that causes high blood pressure in the lung arteries (pulmonary hypertension).
Pulmonary vaso-occlusive disease
In most cases, the cause of pulmonary veno-occlusive disease is unknown. The high blood pressure occurs in the pulmonary arteries, which are the lung arteries directly connected to the right side of the heart.
The condition may be related to a viral infection. It may occur as a complication of certain diseases such as lupus, or as a complication of leukemia, lymphoma, chemotherapy, or bone marrow transplantation.
The disorder is most common among children and young adults. As the disease gets worse, it causes narrowed pulmonary veins, pulmonary artery hypertension, and congestion and swelling of the lungs.
Symptoms may include any of the following:
The doctor or nurse will examine you and ask about your medical history and symptoms.
The exam may reveal:
Your doctor may hear abnormal heart sounds when listening to the chest and lungs with a stethoscope.
The following tests may be done:
There is currently no known effective medical treatment. However, the following medications may be helpful for some patients:
A lung transplant may be needed.
The outcome is often very poor in infants, with a survival rate of just a few weeks. Survival in adults may be months to a few years.
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of this disorder.

House built in 1905. Rooms were clean. Breakfast in the morning was really nice. I would stay there again.

Nicholson is a gem in Mendocino! We visit once a year to the lovely rooms of Russian Rose and Enchanted Forest. Enjoy delicious breakfast of fresh fruit and homemade scones, before hiking the awesome headlands, within shirt walking distance. The innkeepers are a value of knowledge and lore of Mendocino, history, culture, events, etc. We wish to share the magic of the inn with others, a place to truly restore your spirit.

Our family enjoyed our stay very much. The location is just ideal. Not overlooking the water but on a lovely street with cute restaurants (one which bakes bread for sale every morning). The Presbyterian View room was perfect for us - very comfortable living room and nice place for us to relax. Kitchen was very convenient since there is a wonderful market 2 blocks away. Great feature for families since restaurants are very pricey in Mendocino. Brent is quiet and kind person. Breakfast was perfect every morning - wonderful coffee, berries and fresh baked scones were some favorites. Plenty of other things to choose from for a hearty breakfast. We really enjoyed our stay!

Our room was very nice, with a separate sitting area and kitchenette. The location was terrific, walking distance to everything in town. However, the host(s) were a bit gruff (not at all what we've come to expect at a B&B) and the breakfast was rather simple, "do it yourself".

If you stand in the right hand corner and press your head to the wall, you can see the ocean. Nice stay otherwise, staff were great.

I will say that Nicholson house is in a great location, a quick walk from the Mendocino headlands, and next to a couple of cute restaurants. The room itself was warm and cozy, but the bathroom was musty and damp. Breakfast was nice. The innkeeper was helpful, but very curt in our interactions; it could just be a difference in personalities, but the few times I asked him for suggestions about places to go or things to do, I had the distinct impression that he couldn't wait to be done talking to me. If I go to Mendocino again, I'll probably look at a different place.

Within easy walking distance of everything you want to see and a very comfortable bed. There's a wonderful surprise when you turn out the lights at night, but I won't give it away.

Great location, very clean, but our experience was ruined by the overpowering smell of fabric softener in our sheets (alas, it was a beautiful bed!) which kept us from sleeping and left us with headaches. No amount of airing out with open windows and doors helped. We almost went to sleep in our car. In the morning I told the manager. I wish I had felt that our complaint had been taken seriously, but no apology or acknowledgement was given. We will not come back nor recommend the Nicholson Inn.

We do several loads of laundry each day. The vent for laundry exhausts to the adjacent sidewalk so you get a whiff of the laundry. With 7 rooms to clean in 4 hours it is often difficult to keep up. Your room was our largest and there was a guest with a dog in the room the night before so we had to pay special attention to cleaning the room. It takes about 2 hours to clean the room and was just finished just before you arrived. When we walked in there was a strong smell but it was the air freshener, not the fabric softener. We spray each room to help freshen the air. The windows should have been open to neutralize the room but the housekeepers had not opened the windows yet. It sounds like you are sensitive to fabric softener. We use 1/2 to 1 lid of fabric softener in each load of laundry, which is not excessive. We are responsive to people with sensitivity or allergies to certain chemicals or feathers. We do special washing and remove the feather products when requested. I recall you came to breakfast and mentioned this. 2 of the housekeepers were cleaning the kitchen. I also had other guests waiting for my attention in the office and I wanted the housekeepers to hear your issues directly so I let you explain it to them. Sometimes when I tell them things it doesn't sink in but I figured hearing directly from the guest would be beneficial. I was waiting in the office for you to check out so I could apologize but when your husband came in he just grumbled, thew the keys on the table and left. I never had a chance to speak to him. A few minutes later the housekeepers came to me and told me how much the place smelled. Apparently you had cooked some fish the night before and the place reeked of it. That's OK, you have a kitchen and that is what it was for. But that is exactly why we have to freshen the place up as we had other guests arriving just a few hours later. I apologize for the problems and hopefully your trip was good otherwise.

Not a single thing to complain about. The host is very accommodating and friendly. The breakfast is very good. The rooms are clean and spacious. The location is great. The value is the best in the village. We would stay there again.

The Nicholson House Inn was in a great location in town. The room was charming.

We had a wonderfull time in Mendocino. We took a quick getaway from Sacramento and the Nicholson House Inn was FANTASTIC. Excellent value, great atmosphere and clean comfortable room made our weekend great. Will definitely stay again. It was located within walking distance of great restaurants and a small market as well as several great coffe shops. Great ocean views and walkng trails less than a couple blocks away. Thanks.............

Stayed here for the discount we recieved. Would not pay full price. The room was great, but the atmosphere was lacking hospitality and hominess. Disapointed in breakfast. Great location however.

The Nicholson House Inn suited our needs for the long 4th of July weekend. Compared to other B&B's and hotels in the area, it was an extremely good value. We stayed for two nights for a little more than most places cost for just one. The room was a good size, the bed was comfortable, and the location can't be beat - right in the heart of Mendocino and walkable to everywhere in town. Finding parking on the street was very easy. The breakfast wasn't anything fancy, but there was lots of fresh fruit, a variety of breads and other baked goods, cereal, and some hard boiled eggs, cheese and meat. It was plenty to get a good start in the morning. The only complaint we had was that the shower was one of the absolute worst ever. Zero water pressure. It could have been because everyone was using their shower at the same time in the morning - not sure. Overall, if location is important and you will be happy with basic accommodations at a good price, I would recommend Nicholson House Inn.

Thank you for your input. I was informed about the low water pressure. It seems that in the mornings, with many people taking showers at the same time, the upstairs units expirence lower water pressure. I checked with our plumber and saw that the pressure was set to about 40 psi, which is the low end of normal residential water pressure. We've since increased this to about 60 psi and it seems all is working well now.

Raequan Gregg poured in a game-high 29 points Friday as the Coastal Christian Cougars topped the Carolina Chargers 56-38 at home.
Gregg scored nine points in the first quarter on 4-of-4 shooting but it was the Cougars' defensive pressure that broke the game open in the first half.
Coastal Christian (3-3, 1-1) limited Carolina to just six points in the second quarter, while it tallied 20 of its own to open a 35-19 halftime advantage. After allowing Carolina to shoot 55 percent in the first quarter, Coastal limited the Chargers to just 22 percent shooting in the second.
"We were really happy with the intensity and effort we gave early," Coastal head coach Robert Wooley said. "Our press was good. We tried to do that as much as we could just to get the intensity started high. After a long break we wanted to make sure we were in the game and focused."
Carolina answered with its own defensive stand and climbed back within eight by allowing Coastal just four points off one field goal in the third quarter. The Chargers came as close as seven points early in the fourth quarter before Gregg ended the rally with a three from the wing that sparked a 6-0 Cougars run. Coastal's senior leader scored 10 points in the final frame, while junior Seth White added six. Gregg handed out assists on all three field goals that he didn't score in the final frame.
"We expect those guys to lead the team in those times," Wooley said. "Third quarter, we kind of took a little hit but those guys really focused the team and kind of got us back on track. We trust (Gregg) one-on-one against anybody and when he's hitting shots and collapsing the defense, it opens up shots for other people and makes it a lot easier for the team."
White finished with 14 points, while Sam Fletcher added five for Coastal. Hunter Bohon scored 10 points and Shane Johnson added nine to lead Carolina. The win comes in the Cougars' first game in three weeks.
"It's good to get a win and get back out here and compete," Wooley said. "We have a really tough couple of games coming up and I think it was important for us to get out here tonight and get back in a rhythm." Follow @fjmansfield //
