COMMENTARY

The Continuing Family Breakdown

By Rich Lowry

How often does the Office of Policy Planning and Research, United States Department of Labor produce anything worth reading, let alone a report that reverberates 45 years later?

Such was the brilliance of Assistant Secretary of Labor Daniel Patrick Moynihan that it happened once, when he wrote his prescient 1965 report, "The Negro Family: The Case for National Action." He wrote it on a typewriter over a few weeks and had the publications office in the basement of the Labor Department print 100 of them, marked "For Official' Use Only,"

The report sparked a furor of continuing relevance, as James T. Patterson recounts in his new book, "Freedom Is Not Enough: The Moynihan Report and America's Struggle Over Black Families From LBJ to Obama."

The late Moynihan, whose father

- abandoned his fami.ly, believed that "the richest inheritance any child can have ;ls a stable, loving, disciplined family life." He wanted to create a sense of urgency about the fact that black children were disproportionately denied this inheritance.

Black out-of-wedlock births had increased from 18 percent in l' 950 to 23.6 percent in 1963. (The figure for whites was still just 3.07 percent). In central Harlem, 43 percent of births to nonwhite women were out of wedlock. In the inner city, Moynihan wrote, "the center of the tang.le of pathology is th e weakness of the family structure."

In what became known as "Moynihan's scissors," he noted that illegitimate births had stopped tracking with the unemployment rate; instead, as unemployment fell, out-ofwedlock births continued to rise. Illegitimacy had developed a dynamic all its own.

Moynihan had written from an unassailably liberal perspective, hop-

ing to spur a new chapter in government activism. No matter. He had run up against a new liberal taboo. At a White House-orqanized civil-rights conference, Moynihan's report disappeared down the memory hole. As an administration official told Moynihan, "The family is not an action topic for a can-do conference."

Eventually elected to the Senate from New York, Moynihan became a voice in the wilderness on the most important social trend in our time .. By 1970, the out-of-wedlock birthrate had climbed to 38 percent among blacks, and was risinq across all groups. "Young, lower-class black women in the 1960s," Patterson writes, "had formed the leading edge of broadbased, lonq-terrn changes in family formation."

By 2008,. the situation circa 1963 looked positively Cleaver-esque. The black out-of-wedlock birthrate hit 72.3 percent; for everyone, it was 40.6 percent. This is a slow-moving social catastrophe. According to Brookings Institution scholars Ron Haskins and Isabel Sawhill, the poverty rate of married-couple families is five times lower than for female-headed families with children.

"There is one unrnistakableIesson in American history," Moynihan wrote, "a community that allows a large number of men to grow up in broken families, dominated by women, never acquiring any stable relationship to male authority, never acquiring rational expectations about the future ~~ that community asks for and gets chaos." It's a statement just as true and nearly as unwelcome as it was four decades ago.

Voter 10 Legislation: $1 Million a Year Boondogg.le

Voter photo 10 legislation currenllybeing considered in our state Legislature is a waste of time and money when the people of South Carolina cannot afford to waste either. With furloughed teachers, cuts in student testing funding, and the elimination of mental health and crime prevention programs, our state is in a fiscal crisis, and it makes no sense for taxpayers to pay for Ihis costIy, unnecessary and suppressivelegisiation at this time, or ever.

Estimates put the cost of voter photo 10 at

over $1 million annually. This includes lost rev, enue from elimination of fees for OMV-supplied photo 10 cards and additional training for poll workers. Not factored in are considerable cosls of legal challenges that South Carolina would inevitably incur. Now, even as education services

for our children are cut, taxpayers will be forced to pay for~his harmful legislation. It is fiscally and ethically irresponsible.

Our message to legislators: Stop playing politics with voting rights and focus on the real issues that are affecting citizens. Implementing legisla· lion that could disenfranchise 178,000 South Carolinians and cost $1 million a year during a fiscal crisis is politics at its worst. We deserve and expect more from our elected officials.

The right to vote and 10 have that vote counted is the most important civll right we have. Photo 10 requirements are one of the greatestlhreats to fair and equal voting rights today. State govern.· menls should be in the business of encouraging full participation of our citizenry, not developing ways tolimilthe t.ight to vote.

Judge's Ruling Muddies Evidence in Southern Holdings Case

By Paul Gable

Looking back at all the evidence in the Southern Holdings et at, v. Harry County et al. lawsuit, one can't help but wonder how or why the participants could so misinterpret the evidence in the case if they are not involved in conspiracy to keep the case from going to trial.

After the lawsuit was allegedly "settled" during a secret conference in the judge's chambers, from which even the court reporter was kept absent, the Plaintiffs in the case filed a 60(b) motion requesting the settlement be set aside and the case be reopened for trial.

Judge Bryan Harwell denied the motion based on very questionable statements.

In his denial of the60(b) motion, Judge Harwell wrote, "Plaintiffs' specifications of fraud and misconduct are broad, far reaching,. and, most importantly, unsupported by any facts in evidence. In this and earlier motions filed with this court, Plaintiffs have suggested state wide corruption and a conspiracy against them that spans the FBI, this court, SLED, most of the Harry County Government, Plaintiffs' own lawyers in this case, Defendants, and Defendants' attorneys.

"Nevertheless, despite any damage Plaintiffs may have previously brought upon their credibility, this court has taken their allegations very seriously. On the surface, Plaintiffs allegations appear to constitute serious misconduct, which, if true, could warrant a new trial, sanctions, and discipline by the State bar. However, upon closer examination, the court is simply unable to find clear and convincing evidence of misconduct,"

One must look no further than an affidavit submitted by Plaintiffs Forensic Scientist Steve Cain and the intentionally misleading and outright false statements submitted by the Defendants' attorneys to quickly determine that the judge seriously erred in his denial order of August 13,2008. It appears the judge fitted his statements in his denial order to fit a predetermined conclusion - denial.

Note above, the judge says if the plaintiffs statements are true, it could warrant a new trial. That is an important statement

Even though the original

videotapes recorded by an in car video camera were requested by the plaintiffs, copies of the videotapes were provided to Cain on March 2,2004 with the notation that the "original videotapes of theincidenl were not available. "

In Cain's report to Plaintiff's attorney Michael Goldberg, dated March 16, 2004, he noted a number of anomalies in the tapes that indicate "the possibility of insert editing."

"All of the above anomalies cast serious doubt concerning the authenticity of portions of the original videotape from which Exhibit Q-2 was reportedly manufactured by the Harry County Police Department," Cain concludes.

He asks Goldberg to obtain the original videotapes from Horry County for analysis.

After much court wrangling about the original videotapes, they were finally provided by Defendants' attorney Robert E. Lee to Cain on October 27, 2004, pursuant to Court Order 109, issued September 7,2004, by Judge Bryan Harwell.

The following is a portion of Cain's affidavit on his attempt to analyze the tapes:

"On October 27, 2004 Defendants' Counsel Robert E. Lee personally delivered 10 my laboratory in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin three videotapes and one Mobil Vision System-7 camera and recorder. Counsel Lee identified the camera and recorder as the equipment used by Defendant Brantly to record the events at the scene on August 6, 2000.

"On October 27, 2004, I provided Counsel Lee with an article I. authored entitled "Forensic Video." The article was published in The Forensic Examiner of Video Recordings - November/December- Fall 1999. The article discussed the use of the original recording equipment in the authentication process.

"On October 28, 2004, Defendants' Counsel Lee, under the authority of Court Order 109, attended the preparation stages at my laboratory for the examination of the three videotapes. On October 28, 2009, Defendants' Counsel Lee asked me about alternative methods to authenticate if the Brantly videotape he delivered was the orig.inalif he (Lee) had not delivered the recorder and camera used by Brantly to record the original videotape.

"I described an alternative

method which involved the use of an exemplar videotape (any other videotape ever recorded by the same equipment used by Brantly on the scene on August 6, 2000}to determine the authenticity of the Brantly videotape ....

"On October 28, 2004, before the actual examination of the three videotapes began and after I described the use of exemplar videotapes to authenticate the videotape as an original recorded by a specific recorder, Defendants' Counsel Lee unexpectedly took the videotapes he had delivered to me and left the laboratory.

"On or about October 31, 2.004,1 determined that the recording equipment Mr. Lee had delivered to me was in fact not the equipment used by Defendant Brantly, as identified by Counsel Lee, but was in fact the equipment used by Defendant McCI'endon to record events at the scene of August 6, 2000."

The videotapes Lee took to Cain mayor may not have been the originals of the incident, but, before Cain could examine them, Lee packed them back up and headed to South Carolina.

During a February 9, 2007 motions hear.ing, Pia i ntiffs' attorney John Rakowsky told the judge, "So,il is our position that there is just a continuation on the part of the defendants here to try to hide the truth as to what happened at the time and we can't properly present what really happened because they have destroyed the evidence, or modified it, or somehow deleted th ings to justify their position."

Defendants' attorney Jay Saieebyinterjects into the conversation, during the February 2007 motions hearing, "The recording equipment you talked about, itis important to remember that there were two recorders, one from the Brantly vehicle and one from the McClendon vehicle. The McClendon recorder was submitted to the Plaintiffs' expert, who did have a chance to evaluate it and there is nothing in his report to indicate it is not the right recorder."

Actually, as you can read in the Cain affidavit quoted above, Cain was intending to examine the Brantly recorder. Attorney Lee delivered a recorder to Cain that Lee identified as the one used by Brantly. Cain discovered it was McClendon's recorder and so notes on his affidavit. Apparently, neither the

judge nor Saleeby read and/or understood Cain's affidavit.

Saleeby continued, "The other recorder, I hope there is a significant explanation put forth in our response where that was officer Brantly's car. He changed cars in the 2001 time frame. it goes to surplus, they just don't track the recorder. Nonetheless, the oripinal videotapes from this stop in August of 2.000 have been produced in this lifigation and have been evaluated bylhe Plaintiffs' expert ....

Note, Saleeby does not tell the truth about inspection of the "alleged" original videotapes. As noted by Cain in his affidavit, he never had the chance to examine the videotapes brought by Lee before Lee grabbed them back and took off on a return tnp to South Carolina.

The judge asks Saleeby, "When was the first request for exemplar tapes or the recording equipment itself?"

Saleeby responds, 'That would be in 2005. There was a hearing before your Honor at the end of 2004 when they asked for the original videotapes. They had already been produced copies and the Court found that the Plaintiffs did have the right to examine those, so we requested those, produced the originals and the McClendon recorder. II went to Wisconsin, it came back. Subsequently, the Plaintiffs' expert said 'well, I need an exemplar tape because I don'! have the Brantly reoorder ... "

"At that point, we pursued the exemplar tape. And it is true thai officer Brantly testified in his deposition years before this 'Yes, I keep all of my tapes.' But, in the years past he moved ... He had no reason to believe they would need a, quote, An exemplar tape from the 2000 lime frame when he did move. So, when that request was made to him, he said 'Jay, I don'! have that, I didn't keep those tapes when I moved."

Saleeby says Brantly kept aU of his official police videotapes at his house, but, when he moved, Brantly threw those official videotapes out.

Nevertheless, the judge says in his denial order, "At the hearing, Defense counsel offered a completely plausible explanation for the location of the recorder and tbe lack of exemplar tapes. Plaintiffs have submitted nothing in the present motion that dearly and convinc-

ingly refutes the explanation offered at the February 9, 2007 hearing."

How can you clearly and convinclnqly refute a statement as absurd as a pollee officer keeps official videotapes at his house and decides to throw them out. It seems that Saleeby's statement more clearly lends considerable credence to Rakowsky's above statement. In other words, the defendants did everything in their power to keep the tapes out of the plaintiffs hands and! the judge went along with those actions and statements.

Regarding FBI involvement in analyzing the tapes even though federal law precludes such FBI analysis if the federal government or one or more of ils agencies are not party to the lawsuit, the judge wrote in his denial order, "With regard to Noel Herold's involvement in this case, it is clear from the record that Noel Herold was a non-retained expert whose testimony Defendants intended to offer at trial. Defendants' attorneys were clear on that point - that they did not retain Noel Herold. While their (sic) may have beeh some miscommunication or misunderstanding regarding the manner Herold was brought into this case, the court does not conclude that there was any intentional manipulation or wrongdoing by the parties in this case. Furthermore, even if there was sufficient evidence of intentional misconduct regarding Herold's involvement in this case, Plaintiffs cannot establish that they were prevented from presenting their case."

Alternatives has several times reported, most recently in the May 20, 2009 issue, how SLED and the defendants' attorneys misrepresented a judge's order, telling the FBI thai the j'udge had ordered it to analyze the videotapes forevidence of editing. The judge himself stated in a May 2007 court hearing that he had not ordered the FBI to analyze the tapes and Saleeby agreed with the judge's statement at the hearing even though three weeks prior, Saleeby had written in a response to a Plaintiffs' motion that the defendants sent the tapes to the FBI "pursuant to an order of the court.'''

The issue here is not whether Herold was a retained or non-retained expert for the

There is an old saying up there, "If you go to buy a large parcel of land you will always end up with a church or cemetery on your property." The little churches and cemeteries certainly offer a great deal of history 10 Ihe Watauga County. Just riding the hills and finding "out of the way" things makes a wonderful day trip or afternoon. One place that really delighted me was Valle Crucis just outside of town. By-the-way, you make a turn at the Ham Shop and that is worth a lunch or a sweet! Valle Crucis is the perfect place to bike, bird watch, shop and fish. It is quiet and a great place to fall on the grass at their lovely park and totally relax. Within a few miles you have Banner Elk on one side and the community of Foscoe on the other. This is where you will discover the world of Orvis and some of the best fishing guides in the

business. Right over the next hill stands the Godfather of them ail, Grandfather Mountain. This is an established park where thousands go each year to see the views from the mile high swinging bridge. Oh, don't forget just down the road from that you have the Linville Caverns, a place to see the inside of the mountain.

Other places of interest while staying in Boone would be a trip down to the Blowing Rock community and a stop at the Mystery House and Tweetsy Railroad. That is just the beginning of all the many things to do in the Mountains and staying al the La Ouienta Inn and Suites made all of the travel very easy.

There is so much more: l.e., the food at the Daniel Boone Inn, the Red Onion Cafe and the Vadalia Restaurant and Wine Bar. There is rafting and gem mining, outlets to shop and the wonderful Blue Ridge Parkway where you ride at the top of the mountains.

Now are you ready to hear the rest of the story? Soon I will take you into each adventure. So pack your bags and head to the hills. Remember to order sweet lea and fried eggs with "liver mush" and grits!

Benjamin "Ben] i"Richardson.

Veteran's Profile:

By P~1U1 Gable

After graduating from Myrtle Beach High School and spending two and one-half years at Coastal Carolina University, Benji Richardson felt a need for a change of scenery.

"I was bored with school and I was looking for something different, so I joined the Navy," said Richardson.

After Boot Camp in 1979, Richardson was assigned to nine months training in operations intelligence.

"[ was trained in the various weapons systems on board ship and in gunfire support," said Richardson.

After finishing training and a short tour as an instructor at the

Benjamin "Benji" Richardson

same school, Richardson was assigned to the Combat Information Center (CIC) forlhe U. S. S. Nimitz, one of the Navy's newest carriers at the time.

"The CIC was the nerve center of the ship," said Richardson. 'We were in control of the ship's offensive and defensive systems. My biggest learning experience was the responsibility necessary 10 perform the job."

During his time in the Navy, Richardson took three Med cruises, which included involvement in the Lebanon crisis, the U. S. bombing of Libya, and the invasion of Grenada.

"You learn to grow up quick in those situations," said Richardson. "We were 12 miles offshore Libya guarding against

Get Out and Vote!

On June 8, the voters of Horry County have a unique opportunity to elect two outstanding Harry County natives to serve us. One as a member of Congress from the 1st District and the other as Chairman of Horry County Council, respectively.

Neither oftharn have political experience which in these cases come as a blessing. They are both in the prime of their lives and have the intellig.ence, wisdom and energy far these

demanding positions. They are both well educated and willing to bring forth fresh ideas and are not set in the ways of "politics as usual." or we may say, are not members of the "qood ole boy" system.

Clark Parker, a very successful CPA for over 30 years, is exactly what we need in Washington to help straighten out the mess we are in. He built up his practice by sheer hard work and determination and by being honest to the core.He has

served as chairman on many boards and committees, always for the betterment of Humanity. His work with the Gideon Society has taken him around the World. What better man to serve us in Congress?

Tom Rice. a successful tax attorney and CPA, is sorely needed as Chairman of the Harry County Council. He is a true southern gentlemen with impeccable manners and will not embarrass his constituents. Over the past eight years, the

their planes making an attack on our bombers. That type of experience and responsibility makes you grow up fast."

After taking his discharge in 1984,. Richardson was involved in the construction industry in Myrtle Beach before going to work for the Department of Agriculture in Columbia, S. C.

"I love to make things grow and I have a green thumb," he said. "I go! to specializing in sports turf management."

He moved from the

Department of Agriculture to the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers in charge of all grounds on Ft. Jackson. From there, he went to the University of South Carolina where he oversaw the renovations and upgrading of the USC athletic fields.

"The greatest challenge on

that job was the various events held in Wililiams Brice Stadium," Richardson said .. "People think of Williams Brice and football, but we also had the Pope, Bil.ly Graham, the Rolling Stones, and the Farm Aid concert, to name a few, while! was there. Through it all, we had to keep the field in shape all the time."

Richardson went out on his own, forming Long Bay Associates as a sports turf management group. As an independent, he has kept his hand in big projects such as planting the field at Coastal Federal Field and Brooks Stadium.

"If I had stayed in Harry County all my life, I believe I would have been a farmer," Richardson said. "1 like growing things."

Committee. Blue Ribbon Committee to study Emergency Services and S.C. Department of Natural Resources. The list goes on and he would be a valuable asset as our County Council Chairman.

Harry County would be well served by these two outstanding individuals, so make sure to vote on June 8.

defendants. The issue is that neys and the judge try to disthe FBI and Herold were defi- tance themselves from Herold

nitely brought into the case by a combination of intentional rnisrepresentation of the judge's order and misconduct by the S.C. Budget and Control Board, SLED and the defense attorneys. Those actions are clear from the record. Yet., though such actions went on for three years, the judge does not find intentional misconduct or rnisrepresentation

An interesting point is that after Herold was brought into the case and the misrepresenlations on his curriculum vitae and other problems with his statements in a sworn deposition are pointed out by the Plaintiffs, the Defendants' attor-

with the "non-retained expert" dodge.

We have discussed how FBI forensic analyst Noel Herold made false statements on his curriculum vitae. He is a man who cannot even determine whether he spent six or nine years in the Marine Corps Reserve and who claims a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Nuclear and Atomic Physics from Defiance College, a degree that the registrar of Defiance College said the college never offered.

Additionally, Herold, in his deposition and in a written report to the defense, claimed he analyzed the original video-

tapes and found no evidence of editing. Of course, in his deposition, Herold also claimed he was brought into the lab in "late 1972" by Mr. (J. Edgar) Hoover, even though any public record shows Hoover was dead by that time.

Herold allegedly examined videotapes that Cain was never allowed to examine. However, Cain a certified court expert, found considerable evidence of editing on the videotape copies he was allowed to examine. He wanted to examine the originals, or exemplar videotapes from the same recorder, to completely nail down absolute proof of editing. Cain was never allowed to examine the or.iginals, although they may actual-

citizens of this great counly, as well as fellow council members and outsiders, have been the recipients of his opponent's bullying, insults, rudeness and arrogance.

Tom Rice has been involved with various organizations. both County and Slate wide,. such as Leadership Grand Strand, Boy Scouts of America, Ocean View

Foundation, Myrtle Beach

Haven Homeless Shelter,

YMCA, Sertoma Club, Horry County Probate Court Advisory

Iy have made it to his lab at one time.

There is no miscommunication or misunderstanding how the FBI became involved in the case, the defendants' attorneys intentionally, but falsely, claimed for three years that the judge ordered the FBI to examine the tapes .. Finally, the judg.e said in 2007 he did not order an FBI analysis of the tapes, but finds no "intentional. misconduct" by the defense.

In May 2000, Ancii Garvin III, the man who set in motion the chain of events that resulted in the Southern Holdings lawsuit, wrote a memorandum to his coconspirators. In it he said, "The courts and the lawyers will protect us no matter what we do to

the "little people." It will never get to a jury and if it does, the judge will never let the truth be heard."

If we are to believe the judge's honesty and truthfulness, then, we can only view the statements in his denial order from the perspective that either he was totally unfamiliar with the evidence in the case or he didn't understand it. If that is not the case, then, as Garvin predicted, the 'judge never lat the truth be heard' and he sits firmly in the middle of the conspiracy to protect Harry County and its co-defendants from being found guilty of tremendous civilliabil.ity.

Weather the Weather

Safety tips to help you be prepared

While severe weather can occur any time of year, spring often brings more than just April showers. To help you stay safe during severe weather, the International Association of Fire Chiefs and Energizer offer these tips for being prepared to weather tornados, severe thunderstorms and hurricanes. Tornados

While tornados can happen any time, peak tornado occurrence in the south is in March through May. Peak months in northern states are during the summer.

If a tornado approaches:

In a home or building, move to a pre-designated shelter, such as a basement.

If an underground shelter is not available, move to an interior room or hallway on the lowest floor and get under a sturdy piece of furniture.

Stay away from win-

dows.

Get out of automobiles. - Do not try to outrun a tornado in your car.

Mobile homes, even if

tied down, offer little protection from tornados and should be abandoned.

Severe Thunderstorms

Every thunderstorm produces lightning, which kills more people each year than tornados. Heavy rain from thunderstorms can lead to flash flooding. Other dangers associated with some thunderstorms include strong winds, hail and tornados.

Avoid electrical equipment and telephones. Lightning could follow the wire.

Avoid bathtubs, water faucets and sinks because metal pipes can transmit electricity.

If you see or hear a thunderstorm coming,. go inside a sturdy building or car. Keep car windows closed and avoid co nve rtibles. Rub be r -so led shoes and rubber tires offer no protection from lightning.

Avoid tall structures such as towers, tall trees, fences, telephone lines and power lines.

If boating or swimming, get to land, get off the beach, and find shelter immediately. Hurricanes

Hurricane season in the Atlantic runs from June 1 to November 30. Hurricane hazards include storm surge,

marine hazards, tornados, high winds and inland flooding. If an evacuation is ordered, it is vital that you comply. The National Hurricane Center recommends leaving as soon as possible, even before an official evacuation order is given. Delaying results in longer travel time, increasing your risk.

Have an evacuation plan in place ahead of time. Map out escape routes, make arrangements to stay with out of town friends or relatives, and have an emergency kit ready to take with you.

During a hurricane, do not open windows or doors. The normal air leakage around them will keep the air pressure in your house slightly lower than the atmospheric pressure outside.

If you are unable to evacuate, stay indoors, away from wln-.

dows and doors. Close all interior doors and take refuge in a small, interior room, closet or hallway on the lowest level. Lie on the floor under a

table or other sturdy object. Power Up

To make sure you have the back-up power you need during and after severe weather, here are some items the International Association of Fire Chiefs suggest you keep in a power kit within your emergency kit.

• Battery-powered radio or crank radio to keep your family apprised of current weatherrelated news.

• Plenty of extra batteries

batteries have along storage life, perform well in extreme temperatures, and are perfect for use in LED flashlights and other high-tech devices.

• Flashlight for every member of the family. Use flashlights instead of candles when the power goes out.

• Battery-powered cell phone charger.

• Extra specialty batteries to power critical health devices like hearing aids and blood glucose monitors.

(M, AAA, C, D, 9-volt) provide long-lasting power before, during and after the storm. Lithium

May Named S.C. Arts Commission Executive Director

By Milly Hough

Ken May, new executive director for the art organ ization.

The S.C. Arts Commission Board of Commissioners announces that Ken May has been named executive director effective immediately.

May joined the Arts

Commission in 1985 as a regional arts coordinator and served as director of planning, research and grants and assistant deputy director before being named deputy director in 1995. May has served as acting director of the agency since former executive director Susie Surkamer retired in May 2009.

"We look forward to working with Ken in his new role as executive director," said board chairman Bud Ferillo. "Ken has

proven his ability to lead the Arts Commission through the difficulties of the current budget cutbacks while positioning the agency for the future. His leadership in the agency's core work - arts education, community development through the arts and artist development -- will be crucial as we develop a new long-range plan for the state's wide-ranging and diverse arts community."

The executive director

serves as the agency's chief executive officer and is responsible for organization and administration, program development, fiscal accountability and staff supervision. The

agency's nine-member board is appointed by the governor and works with the executive director to make policy, advocate for the arts and ensure public accounta bility.

The board's executive

search committee, led by Commission Vice Chairman Dr. Sarah Lynn Hayes, conducted a three-month national search and reviewed 230 applications.

The South Carolina Arts Commission is the state agency charged with creating a thriving arts environment that benefits all South Carolinians, regardless of their location or circumstances. Created by the South Carolina General Assembly in

1967, the Arts Commission is celebrating 40 years of increasing public participation in the arts by providing services, grants and leadership initiatives in three areas: arts education, community arts development and artist development. Headquartered in Columbia, S.C., the Arts Commission is funded by the state of South Carolina, by the federal government through the National Endowment for the Arts and other sources.

South Carolina Wildlife magazine, a publication of the S.C. Department of Natural Resources, has long

been recogniz.ed as one of the best conservation education lools available to help young people (and adults) learn about the importance of the environment and the value of our state's natural resources. Generations of South Carolinians have grown up with teachers who decorated their bulletin boards with photographs or articles taken from the pages of South Carolina Wildlife or

Any magazines left over afterlhe June 14 pickup event will 'have to be recycled, so teachers please take advantage of this opportunity to get them now.

The deSignated pick up spot is located about four rrules from the S.C. State House in downtown Columbia al a storage facility on Rosewood Drive. The location is convenient 10 all three Interstates via thal-Z? loop exit at Bluff Road (the exit for the USC Stadium and Congaree National Park), On the day of the pickup, DNR staff will be on hand at the facility from 8:30 a.m. unlil 5 p.rn. to assist with loading magazines into vehicles,

Join a Bike the Neck Trail Blazer Team

As the Waccamaw Neck Bikeway has grown to its current 12 miles, the challenges for trail maintenance have grown as well. Georgetown County's Department of Public Services purchased' a motorized sweeper in 2006 and provi.des periodic scheduled clean-ups. However, wrth restricted staff and budget constraints and the fact that bicycling season is in full swing just as the county maintenance crew is faced' with servicing 22 ballparks every week, the Waccamaw Neck Bikeway needs more frequent attention than they can provide. So, Bike the Neck is organizing Trail Blazer Teams to adopt a manageable segment of the path

Waccamaw Neck Bikeway

During 16 years of planning and fundraising, Bike the Neck (a grassroots volunteer committee devoted 10 creating a multipurpose path from Murrells Inlet to Georgetown) has worked in partnership with Georgetown County, Waccamaw Regional COG, South Carolina DOT, Georgetown County School District and the USDA to complete several phases of the path for use by walkers, jog~ gers, roller bladers and bicyclists. A map showing planned and completedtrails, as well as "share-the-road" routes throughout the community, is available online and at local bike rental outlets and the toll booth at Huntington Beach State Park.

In Murrells Inlet, two fivefoot wide paved lanes, running adjacent to Highway 17 Business, provide nearly four miles of dasiqnated bicycling and walkinq routes thwugh the historic fishing villag.e. The lanes pass the East Coast Greenway trailhead for Georgetown County at Morse Landing Park.

Continuing south, the Bike Bridge across the marsh between Huntington Beach State Park and Murrells Inlet connects the fishing vi.llage to the rest of the Waccamaw Neck. A three-mile lrail across Huntington Beach State Park, from the south entrance of Murrells Inlet to Trace Drive in North Litchfie.ld is in constant use by residents and visitors alike. The path offers a lush and serene ride through the woods. To access the path south of the park, follow the share-the-road signs east on Trace Drive, south on Lakeshore Drive to the separated path at Boyle Road.

Sheddi'ng Light on Tanning

DEAR DR. DONOHUE:

Recently, my daughter attended a sweet·16 birthday party for one of her best friends. She ,is a beautiful girl. When my daughter showed me pictures of her friend, I was shocked. Her face and arms were deeply tanned. I have no idea how many hours she must have spent under a tanning machine. I am very concerned about her. Would you write about the dangers of tanning? - Anon.

ANSWER:

Ultraviolet light, the kind of light we don't see, has powerful effects on the skin. Ultraviolet A rays constitute 95 percent of the UVlight that makes its way to earth. UV A rays do not burn and tan skin as much as UV B rays, but they do damage skin. They cause skin wrinkling: they dry skin; and they produce age spots (liver spots). And they also add to the risk of skin cancer.

Ultraviolet B rays are more destructive. They are the burning rays, and they have a greater effect on skin cancer production. Both A and B reduce the skin's innate immunity.

Exposure to both UV A and UV B injures the skin cells' DNA, and that's what sets the scene for future skin cancer. Humans have learned to cope with UV light by tanning. A tan offers some protection against further damage. UV light activates melanocytes, and they pass their melanin - a dark pigment - to other skin cells. That has the effect of providing an umbrella for the skin. However beneficial that might be, the fact remains that in obtaining a modicum of protection with a tan, skincell DNA has been dealt a major blow.

No tan can be considered healthy .. Sun exposure in adolescence might be the most dangerous time for ultraviolet damage. Tanning booths and tanning beds are considered a threat equal to the sun for promoting future skin cancer,

People of all ages should protect their skin from exposure to UV light. Such exposure heppens every time a person goes outdoors. Cloud cover is a poor absorber of UV rays and offers little skin protection. Sunscreen application should become a habit.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE:

A 50~year~0Id friend of mine was diagnosed with leiomyoma of the uterus. Does this have anything to do with fibroids? She hasfibroids, but her doctor says they are best left alone,

since they shrink at

menopause. What causes

I.eiomyoma? Can it become cancer? What treatments are available? - L.B.

ANSWER:

"Le iomyoma" (L I E -oh-rny-

Ol-l-muhj Is the medical word for "fibroid." Fibroids are noncancerous growths of the uterine muscle. The uterus basically is a muscular sack with a lining designed to nourish a fetus.

The cause of fibroids hasn't been determined.

They're extremely common.

By age 35, 40 percent to 50 percent of women have one or more. By age 50, 70 percent to 90 percent have at least one fibroid. For most of these women, fibroids cause no trouble and can be ignored.

Large fibroids might cause pelvic pain, and they can press on adjacent structures such as the bladder. When thai happens, a woman has a need to empty her bladder frequently. Heavy menstrual bleeding is a sign of fibroids. They also can bring painful menstrual periods, and sometimes they make sexual relations uncomfortable. Infertdity is cited as a possible effect, but infertility due to fibroids is rare.

Transformation into cancer is possible, but not probable. If a fibroid grows rapidly, that's a s'ign of cancer change and must be investigated. Most flbroids shrink with menopause.

Doctors can treat fibroids in a number of ways. One is removal of the uterus ~ hysterectomy. If a woman wants more children, sometimes removal of only the fibroid is possible, and this can be managed in some cases with a scope and special instruments. Uterine arteryembolizaiion is a newer treatment in which a slender, soft tube (a catheter) is passed from a surface artery to the uterine artery. When it's at the precise spot, the doctor releases sand-size synthetiC particles that clog the artery and cut off the fibroid's blood supply. II withers and is shed.

The booklet on fibroids describes them in detail. To order a copy, write: Dr. Donohue ~ No. 1106W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853·6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S.!$6 Canada with the recipient's printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery.

Or. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at PO. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

The Happy Diet

Most people recognize the link between what they eat and their physical health. But many don't know that Ihere is a 'link between what they eat and their mood. Literally, says Elizabeth Somer, M.A.,R.D., what you eat or don't eat for breakfast can have an effect on your happiness quotient by afternoon.

The effects also are cumulative: eat the right foods for months, years, decades and you will be that much happier and mentally sharp in the years to come. In short, follow these lips that come from, "Eat Your Way to Happiness," the latest book by Somer, and she promises you will say, "I never knew I could feel this good!"

Feel Good Tip #1: Eat breakfast

People who eat breakfast have more energy, a more sustained good mood, they perform better at school and at work, and they sleep better at night. They also are less prone to food cravings, have an easier time

losing we.igh! and maintaining the weight loss. But, Somer is not talking doughnuts and coffee. You must follow the 1,2,3 rule. The breakfast must have:

1) a whole grain to provide needed high-quality carbs for the brain during the morning hours

2) a little protein to keep you satiated and maintain even blood sugar levels throughout the morning

3) one, preferably two, colorful fruits and vegetables.

Somer's favorite is as a bowl of whole-grain cereal topped with berries and low-fat milk, and served with sliced watermelon. Or, a morning smoothie made with watermelon, lemon yogurt, and dash of ground g.inger, served with whole-qrain raisin bread.

Feel Good Tip #2: Keep lunch light and low-fat,

Not only wi.1I a heavy lunch leave you groggy, but eat too much fal mid-day and it turns on a brain chemical, called galanin. According to research from Rockefeller University, the more

fat we eat, the more galanin we produce. People who eat a fatty lunch are likely to eat more calories later in the day compared to someone who eats a low-fat lunch. You definitely need some fat, like the healthy fats in nuts and olive oil and the omega-3 fats, but don't go overboard.

A light, low-fat meal helps you stay alert through the afternoon hours, boosts energy,. and fills you up without filling you out. An example would be a

(Photo Courtesy Getty) turkey breast sandwich on whole wheat piled high with spinach leaves and served wit.h a glass of low-fat milk and a fruit salad or watermelon, orange slices and pineapple.

Feel Good Tip #3: Include super mood foods

Somer says that it is a style of eating, not just a few foods, that will stack the deck in favor of fee.ling great. The 1 0 secrets of happy people discussed in her book include habits, such. as focusing on "real foods" no! processed ones, cutting back on the quick fixes, and keeping meals light. If you are following those guidelines, then adding super mood foods gives you an even greater nutritional bang for your buck.

Super mood foods are ones loaded with vitamins, minerals, fiber, and anttoxtdant-nch phytonutrients, while being rnoderate in calories. A perfect exampie is watermelon, which is h.igherin .Iycopene than are tomatoes, and is an excellent source of vitamins A, B6, and C. Better yet, watermelon is 92 percent water, which means it is a natural hydrator, and it contains two amino adds, citrulline and arginine that maintain blood vessels in the body.

From the Editors of ElThe Environmental Magazine

Dear EarthTalk: What's being done to clean up hog farming operations in places like Iowa and North Carolina and others where the industry is quite large? I've heard horrific stories about manmade "lagoons" of animal waste spi.llinginto and fouling rivers and groundwater and the like.

- John Schmid, Fremont, Calif.

Hog farming has always been a messy business, but surging demand for pork in recent years has exacerbated an already foul problem: dealing with the continual production of the bodily waste of thousands of anlmals. Pigs are kept in tight quarters and their waste is channeled into huge open-air lagoon pits and sprayfields. The lagoons can rupture during heavy rains, unleashing a torrent of bacteria- and virus-laden feces and urine into nearby groundwater, lakes and streams. Likewise, sprayfiel.ds, where some farmers discard animal waste by spraying it over otherwise unused land, can pollute surrounding waterways and contaminate drinking water. Another side effect is air pollution: The lagoons and sprayfields emit methane (a leading greenhouse gas) and ammonia (a respiratory irritant) into the atmosphere, the foul odors sullying the air quality-and neighbors' quality of life-for miles

around.

The problem has been especially bad in North Carolina, where the number of hogs raised has gone up fourfold in the last two decadeshog farmers there now raise and slaughter some 10 million hogs a year. In 1995, a hog waste lagoon overflow at Ocean View Farms in North Carolina sent 20 million gallons of hog waste into the New River, causing massive fish kills and contaminating drinking water in several neighboring communities. And the torrential rains and flooding that accompanied 1999's Hurricane Floyd wreaked havoc on hog farm waste lagoons and surrounding ecosystems across North Carolina.

But while hog farming has a deservedly bad reputation, that may all change thanks to farmers, activists, researchers and policyrnakers who are working hard to reduce the negative environmental impacts of the business and even capitalize on the waste itself. Pi.oneering research conducted at North Carolina State University has showed that technologies were already available 10 not only reduce hog waste pollution but to use it to grow crops like duckweed that can be converted into carbon-neutral, fuel-grade ethanol.

Meanwhile, an economic analysis by the non-profit

On hog farms, pigs are kept in tight quarters and their waste is channeled into huge open-air lagoon pits like the one shown here at a Smithfield Foods operation in Jones County North Carolina on the Trent River. These lagoons

can rupture during heavy rains, unleashing a torrent of bacteria- and Virus-laden feces and urine into nearby groundwater, lakes and streams.(Photo Rick Dove, www.dove.imaging.com).

Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) found that North Carolina could gain 7,000 jobs and add $10 billion to its economy if the hog industry there were to move to more innovative systems for treating waste. In its report, EDF stresses the importance of incentives and cost-share pro, grams to help make such new systems affordable for the farmers who need them.

Citing this and other

research, along with public outcry over waste lagoon overflows, North Carolina lawmakers passed the Swine Farm Environmental Performance Standards Act in 2007. The landmark law makes North Carolina the first stale to ban the construction or expansion of waste lagoons and sprayfields on hog farms and helps hog farmers with up to 90 percent of the costs incurred by upgrading to more sustainable waste management systems .. The law also funds a swine farm methane capture pilot program that will have some 50 hog farms generating electricity from their animals' emissions by September 201.0. Time will tell whether North Carolina's trailblazing on the issue will influence lawmakers elsewhere.

Dear EarthTalk: Can airplanes be run on cleaner fuels or be electric powered? Are there changes afoot in the airline business to find cleaner fuels?

- Reema Is/am, Dhaka, Bangladesh

Given air travel's huge contribution to our collective carbon footprint-flying accounts for about three percent of carbon emissions worldwide by some estimates-and the fact that basic passenger and cargo jet designs haven'! changed slqnlficantly in decades, the world is certainly ready for greener forms of flying.

But since air travel emissions were not regulated under the Kyoto Protocol, the international agreement signed in 1997 that set binding targets for reducing

greenhouse gas emissions, the friendly skies aren't much greener than they were a few

decades ago. And most

national governments have been reluctant to impose new environmental restrictions on the already ailing

airline industry.

Nonetheless, some airlines and airplane manufac-

turers are taking steps to improve their eco-footprints. Southwest and Continental have implemented fuel efficiency improvements, waste reduction programs and increased recycling, and are investing in newer, more fuel efficient airplanes. Another airline on the cutting edge of green is Virgin Atlantic, which made news in early 2008 when it became the first major carrier to test the use of biofuels (liquid fuels derived

French company, Lisa, is building a prototype small plane, dubbed the Hy-Bird, that uses solar power (via photovoltaic cells on the elongated wingspan) and hydrogen-powered fuel cells to fly with zero emissions-and nearly no engine noise. The company claims the Hy-Bird is the first 100 percent eco-friendly plane, and is readying a round-theworld flight punctuated by 30 event-filled stopovers.

Even more unusual is the proposed fuel-free plane dreamed up by Mississippibased Hunt Aviation. The cornpany is working on a prototype small plane that harnesses the natural forces of buoyancy (thanks to helium-filled pontoons) for .Iift-offs and gravity for landings-along with an onboard wind turbine and battery

Governments have been loathe to impose new environmental restrictions on the ailing airline industry, but some airlines and plane makers are taking steps to improve their eco-footprlnts, The Boeing Dreamliner 787, pictured here and due to debut in late 2010, is 20 percent more fuel efficient than older models due to more efficient engines,

aerodynamic improvements and the widespread use of lighter composite materials to reduce weight.(Photo Dave Sizer, courtesy FHckr)

from plant matter) on passenger jet flights. Now Air New Zealand, Co ntin ental ,Ja pa n Airlines (JAL), JetBlue,. and Lufthansa are also testing biofuels ..

Even airplane maker Boeing is getting in on Ihe act by developing a carbon-neutral Jet fuel made from algae. Boeing's newest commercial jet, the much vaunted 787 Dreamliner (now in final testing before late 2010 delivery to several airlines), is 20 percent more fuel efficient than its predecessors thanks to more efficient engines, aerodynamic improvements and the widespread use of lighter composite materials to reduce weight. Airbus is also incorporating more lightweight composite materials into its new planes.

On the extreme end of the innovation spectrum are zeroemission airplanes that make use of little or no fuel. The

to power everything in between-to achieve flight without any fuel whatsoever.

Don't look for these futuristic planes on airport runways anytime soon, II will likely be decades before this technology filters its way up to the big leagues. Until then, take a train or bus instead. If you must fly, compensate for your flight's emissions by buying a "carbon offset" from TerraPass or CarbonFund.org, which will use the money to fund alternative energy and other greenhousegas reduction projects.

Q: I just saw "Iron Man 2"

_ this weekend, and 1 wondered about one of the actresses in the movie. In the party scene with Robert Downey Jr., there is a blond actress who looks a lot like Irina from "Desperate Housewives." Are they one in the same?

- Tess G., via e-mail A: ThaI's a very good eye you have there, as the actress who played

Rebecca in "Iron Man 2" is indeed the same person who plays Irina: Helena Mattsson. The 26-year-old beauty from Stockholm, Sweden,iSindeed wreaking havoc on poor Lynette portraying her son's gold-digging fiancee.

When I caught up with Helena recently, she told me what a joy it is to play the Russian temptress: "It is so much fun to be the villain and to be manipulative. There are so many off-tones, so many layers that only the women understand among themselves. You can always read between the lines. It is also a lot of fun to playa character who's really far from who you are yourself, and really have fun with that and be the villain."

Retired Llbrarlan Blossoms Into Self-Published Author

By Katie Huffstetler

Darlene Eichler laughs when someone asks her what she used to do for a living. "I was a librarian," she says with a signature twinkle in her eye, "but people think all librarians do are check out books."

The self-deprecating Myrtle Beach, S.C. resident is likeable, energetic and quietly impressive. She is a study in contrasts - a graceful, polite Southern belle with an iron constitution. The 70-someth ing Virginia native calls on that inner strength to tackle tough issues such as bigotry and religious cults in her novels, and only took up writing after she was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2005.

The disease can make it difficult to sleep at night so to occupy her time, Eichler directed her excess energy into writing - a pursuit she had dabbled in but never fully pursued while

Piccolo Spoleto to Feature Artist on Fire's 'Passing Notion?'

By laura Thompson

Could there be more than meets the eye to the things we see and the experiences we encounter? Dating back from Moses' encounter at the burning bush to current day events people have attributed important discoveries, disasters avoided, and decisions they have made, thai have not only impacted their own destinies but the I.ives of many others, to communication from a source outside themselves.

During the internationally acclaimed Piccolo Spoleto Festival, Artist on Fire will present "Passing Notion?", a multimedia exhibit that explores the way God may be speaking to us today through moments in our everyday lives. Wor.ks including photography, fi 1m, install ation art, live music, sculpture, live art, landscape art, and painting by more than 12 artists search out the unusual and extraordlnary messages that catch our attention as we walk through life. The exhibit is free and open

- to the public.

In accordance with the vision of Mayor Joseph P. Riley, Jr., Piccolo Spolelo, under the direction of Ellen Dressler Moryl, was designed and launched in l' 979 by the City of Charleston Office of Cultural Affairs together with a group of volunteers from the Charleston arts community. Piccolo Spoleto prides itself in providing access to the Spoleto Festival USA experience for everyone, regardless of their economic, social or physical circumstances as well as for excellent local and regional artists, writ-

ers and performers to be showcased.

"The enthusiasm and energy exerted by the wonderful young coordinators of this project was so infectious. Young and idealistic, the co-founders of Artist on Fire are convinced that the creative output of the participating artists in "Passing Notion?" will unfailingly touch their audiences with all the wonder and the beauty of the arts," says Director MoryL

"This show will appeal to such a wide audience," expresses Artist on Fire cofounder and participating artist Alex Radin, "because it taps into something that I think we all have felt at some time or anether-that there are other layers to the things we see, hear, feel and experience."

Featured artists include

painters Alex Radin of Hanahan and Amelia (Mimi) Whaley of Mount Pleasant; photographers Mahmood Fazal of Mount Pleasant, Kimberly (Kimmie) Krauk of Charleston, Carson (Kip) Bulwinkle of North Charleston and Ginger Christy of Atlanta; poet Sara Radin of

Hanahan; sculptor Pamela Crout of North Charleston; film producers Dougl.as Fotia of Charleston, Larry Spann of New York City, and Karen Deloach of Summerville; installation artist Beverly Currin of Charleston; and landscape architects J.R. and Holly Kramer of Remark Studio in North Charleston.

The visual artists will be accompanied by over 15 live art performers and 20 plus musicians playi'ng original compositions and arrangements throughout the entire 17 days of the show. Opening night will feature two ensemble groups and soloists: Drew, Gabby,. and Hannah Hadley on guitar, didgeridoo, djembe, keyboard and harmonica and Trey Truluck, Jer Deloach, Emily Richardson, and Kent McAvoy playing acoustic guitar, Native American wooden flutes, hand drums, and electric guitar and Vicki Marsi playing violin and Pam Dickson on flute.

"It is an honor to be accepted as one of the visual arts events on Ihis year's Piccolo Spoleto agenda," states Artist on Fire

co-founder Sara Radin. "We are looking forward to our first time participating in suchan applauded' festival and sharing excellent art from artists who have proven themselves to be not only skilled and talented in their work, but also thouqht-provoking and genuine in their individua I expressions."

Artist on Fire is an organization founded by Alex and Sara Radin with a mission of seeing and providing more opportunities for artists to fully express themselves in order to be a voice of positivity and change through the creative arts. "Our qoal," says Alex, "is to inspire people to dream, to see the beauty that is around them and to be a voice of hope, truth and life in this world."

"We are so thankful and excited that so many businesses have partnered with us in helping to fulfill the vision for this show," comments Sara Radin. "It will be an experience that art lovers and appreciators won't want to miss and a wonderfut opportunity to introduce friends and family to the world of art."

Cameron Art Museum To Participate in Blue Star Museum Program

By Ashley Standeras

Cameron Art Museum (CAM) announced the launch of Blue Star Museums, a partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts, Blue Star Families, and more than 600 museums across America to offer free admission to all active duty military personnel and their families. The program began Memorial Day and runs through Labor Day. CAM will offer

extended summer hours (Tuesday-Sunday 11 a.m.- 5 p.rn., Thursday 11 a.m.- 9 p.rn.) during this period as well. Families can visit www.cameronartmuseum.com for information on museum programs and events. The complete list of participating Blue Star Museums is available at www.alis.gov.

CAM director Deborah

Velders says "Having grown up in a military family myself, I am so aware of the dedicated sacrl-

fice and patriotism of military personnel and their families. We are happy 10 show our grat~ itude by joining with other museums in the Blue Star Museum initiative. whi.ch offers discounted benefits to military families."

"America's museums are proud to join the rest of the country in thanking our military personnel and their families for their service and sacrifice," said National Endowment for the Arts chairman Rocco

Landesman. "I cannot imagine a better way 10 do that than welcoming them in to explore and enjoy the extraordinary cultural heritage our museums present. The works of art on view this summer will inspire and challenge viewers, and sometimes they will just be a great deal of fun."

"There have always been wonderful examples of partnerships between museums and military installations, but the scale of this gift from the muse-

Glenda Taylor began her 34- year journey into clay after receiving her BFA in Ceramics at the University of Florida in 1976. A fourth generation Floridian. Taylor has spent a lifetime exploring the coastal

regions of the Southeast She spends time in the Keys and the Bahamas, and her love of the ocean has resulted in hours spent diving and snorkeling, roaming the beaches, and researching the abundant marine and wild life therein. From these explorations Taylor draws inspiration for her fine ceramic works of art. Taylor has been featured on the cover of the country's most prestigious ceramics magazine, Ceramics Monthly, and has received recognition in Southern Liv.ing

magazine.

Infused with rich color, each one-of-a-kind piece is masterfully formed from either terra cotta or white earthenware clay. Her intricate glaze patterning and mastery of the thrown form combine to create extraordinary and intriguing works of art. In choosing Glenda Taylor as the first ceramic artist to be represented in the twenty seven year history of the gallery, gallery owner Cheryl Newby said "the work had to be very special; the artist had to be confident in her

"Military families work hard for this country, and ,it is gratifying for us to be recognized for that. We anticipate that thousands of military families will participate in the program and visit museums this summer - many of them for the first time. Blue Star Families will work hard to help our military families make the most of these opportunities."

CAGWNames FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski May Porker of the Month

By Leslie Paige

Citizens Against Government

Waste (CAGW) today named

Federal Communications

Commission (FCC) Chairman Julius Genachowski May Porker of the Month for his recent decision to push forward with an iII-conceived and possibly extra-legal plan to impose federal regulations on the Internet.

The plan would treat the Internet by rules similar to those which currently pertain to the telephone industry under Title II of the Communications Act.

"Chairman Julius Genachowski is leading the FCC into uncharted waters, straight into a legal headwind. In April, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia

"Iaid down an unambiguous marker: the FCC has no authority to force Internet service providers (ISPs) to give equal treatment to all Internet content flowing through their networks, nor can it regulate ISPs under Title II without Congress's express authority. The agency is out of its d.epth and will end up sinking time and the taxpayers' money into harassinq an industry that is functioning very well without ham-fisted government regulations," said CAGW President Tom Schatz.

"Chairman Genachowski is

attempting to circumvent the court's decision by seeking what he calls a 'third way' to insinuate the federal government into the workings of the Internet," continued Schatz.. "This mystical, proposition belies the manifest reality: the taxpayers will be footing the bill for a giant new regulatory and enforcement bureaucracy to address an Internet crisis that does not exist. Chairman

Julius Genachowsk.i, FCC Chairman.

Genachowski's third way is the wrong way."

"Broadband providers and their customers neither want nor need the FCC's interference, which would slifie the innovation that has driven the success of the Internet. Chairman Genachowski's announcement simply confirms that, regardless of what the courts or public opinion say, this administration will continue its takeover after takeover of vital U.S. industries. Its next target for conquest is the Internet, by any means necessary," concluded Schatz.

For launching this damn-the-torpedoes (and the taxpayers), fullspeed-ahead quest to regulate the Internet, CAGW names FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski its May 2010 Porker of the Month.

Citizens Against Government Waste is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to eliminating waste, fraud, abuse, and mismanagement in government. Porker of the Month is a dubious honor given to lawmakers, government officials, and political candidates who have shown a blatant disregard for the interests of taxpayers.

Word from a friend in New Orleans who lives in the lovely old Garden District: She says each day another celeb

Anthony Hopkins moves in, and it's fun to look

out of her window and see Sandra or John or Nicolas or Angie and Brad running round.

Aside to Barbara H. of Santa Monica, Calif.: Yes, I do think Kelly Ripa is attractive. You wanted to know all about her (I take it you don't have a computer), so here goes. She was born in Berlin, N.J., on Oct. 2, 1970. She attended Camden Community College. Her first professional outing was on "AI.I My Children" as Hayley Vaughan Santos. She has a 4-inch-Iong tattoo of a flower on the inside of her left ankle. And, of course, you know she appears daily with Regis. And no, there is nothing personal there! He has Joy, and she has Mark.

HOLLYWOOD .... Anthony Hopkins, one of the best actors in the business, has signed on to play the villain - an evil sorcerer - in "Arabian Ni.ghts," an action-thriller about "a young commander who, after his king is killed in a palace coup, joins forces with Sin bad, Aladdin and hisg.enie to rescue Scheherazade and her kingdom from dark powers."

Debra Winger fans will be happy to learn that she will be showing up this season, both on the little and big screens. (All projects to be announced.) And those other girls - Lindsay, Paris and Britney - also have many plans inlhe works, and we will bring them to you when we learn what they are.

Aside to Vivian M. of Ocala, Fla.: Ho boy! I'm going to give it a try in the spelling department. The name of the town in Mississippi where Oprah Winfrey was born is Kosciusko. And while on the subject of the lady. I would not be surprised if one day she runs for president of the United Stales. That's about all she hasn't

reached for, AND attained.

A thinned-down Queen l.atifah

appeared recently on the "The Late Show With David Letterman." Wearing a fancy black dress, her long hair straightened and very auburn at the ends and flung around her shoulders, she was very glamorous and lots of fun. Heaven help us if she and Oprah ever join up on anything .. It would explode with dramatics,

According to author Aubrey Dillon Malone, several others have also been arrested, including Nick Nolte for selling phony draft cards to teenagers .. He was sentenced to 45 years in prison and a $75,000 fine. The sentence was suspended, but he is still technically a felon and can't vote.

Aftermany years of gentle prodding by music fans and industry aficionados, Randy Bachman and Fred Turner, two giants of rock n' roll, are finally back together as Bachman & Turner after being apart for over 20 years. The group is giving away the first track "Rock n' Roll is the Only Way Out" on their website www.bachmanandturner.com - a glimpse into Bachman & Turner's brand new album slated for release September 7, 2010 through E1 Music.

The yet-unnamed studio album, will be stocked with great new tracksall penned by Randy Bachman and Fred Turner - that seamlessly tit among their classic rock anthems.

"I'm thrilled to be working on new music with Fred and feel a sense of excitement and anticipation," says Randy Bachman. "I feel like I'm comin .. g full circle w. ith.·. a com. rplete.ness.that J never ever thought I'd feel again."

In the mid-70s, after Randy Bachman's colossal success in Wirmipeg rock band the Guess Who, including the #1 Billboard hit "American Woman" (a first for aIly Canadian act); he soared even further with Fred Turner in Bachman-Turner Overdrive, which became nothing short of a musical phenomenon. Their success was extraordinary and spread across the globe. At the pinnacle of their careez; the band's distinctive brand of stripped-down, blue collar; meat 'n' 'potatoes rock headlined some of th.e biggest arenas in the world from New York's Madison Square Garden, London's Hammersmith Odeon, Hamburg's Congress Centrum to the Falkoner Center in Copenhagen. Over a four year run, Bachman- Turner Overdrive sold in excess of 30 million records, earning a staggering 120 platinum, gold and silver discs, and notching

Only Way Out." "It was perfect for his gritty, refrigerator-sized voice," explains Randy Bachman. "It turned out so incredible that I asked if he wanted to sing on a few more, send me some of his original material and fro:m that it morphed into a Bachman & Turner project."

Sharing lead vocal duties, the album features smoking mid-tempo thumpers, "Rock 'N' Roll is the Only Way Out" and "Rolling Along"; a funky riff-centric; "Moonlight Rider"; 11 slow-burning blues shuffle, "Waiting Game"; a gratllying fusion of chords and choruses, "Slave to the Rhythm"; and the distinctive growling vocals as heard on such BachmanTurner Overdrive classics such as "Let it Ride," "Roll on Down the Highway," and "Yon Ain't Seen Nothing Yet." Finally, the duo will hit the road toge.ther, perforJ:ning their vast. cataJogue of hits and preVIewmg a selection of the new songs from the upcoming album, which after everything was an Fred Turner needed to come out of retirement.

It's all about the music, the creative process, collaboration and teamwork or two old friends and partners, Reunited, Randy Bachman and Fred Turner are offering their legion of fans something new and taking care of some 'unfinished' business as well. Bachman & Turner are backed by Brent Howard, Marc Lafrance and Mick Dalla-Vee: this sovereign trio has been performing together for over 20 years.

up hits in more than 20 countries. The band reached #1 on Billboard's singles chart ("You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet") and album chart (Not Fragile), as well as charting another handful of hits including "Taking Care of Business" "Hey You," "My Wheels Won't TLUn" and "Looking Out For #1."

When Fred Turner and he went their separate ways in 1977, Randy Bachman would not be stopped; he continued to pursue his unwavering love for music as a solo artist and part of the much-celebrated Guess Who reunion, then Bachman-Cummings, as well as establishing himself as a jazz artist and host of CBC/Sirius radio show, "Vinyl Tap. " Fred Turner; on the other hand, carried on with the other members of Bachman-Turner Overdrive, before actually retiring from music at the end of the '90s to indulge his passion for cars.

Lingering feelings that the two weren't done just yet persisted for over a decade .. Then last year, Randy Bachman was working on a solo album intending to invite different

Picks ot tt« Week

"The Book of Eli" (R) ~- This is the Hughes Brothers directorial foray into the post-Apocalyptic future genre. On the plus side: A wicked intense Denzel Washington. On the downside: No Thunderdome. Washington stars as the titular Eli, a man in possession of a book that supposedly will rescue humanity from the devastation of the recent apocalypse. He heads west along the Highway of Death, opening cans of whoop-ass on any malcontents along the way. Eventually, he ends up in a town where a corrupt and evil bar owner (Gary Oldman) decides he will do whatever it takes to gain possession of Eli's book.

"The Book of Eli" is a pretty good picture. It's not awesome, but it doesn't stink either. While it doesn't have Tina Turner with big hair, the film does have Mila Kurus. And I'mfine with that

"The Stepfather" [Blu Ray] (R) --

If you thought Terry O'Quinn's portrayal of John Locke in "Lost" was creepy, wait until YOll see him with hair! "The Stepfather" is the cult 1987 thriller about a guy named Jerry Blake (O'Quinn), who longs for the perfect idyllic suburban life ~- beautiful wife; family, white picket fence, the whole shebang. He marries Shelly Hack and beco:mes stepfather to her 16~year-old daughter. The daughter suspects that Jerry's Ward Cleaver persona masks something more sinister and dangerous. And she's right. If you're looking for a thriller that'll chill YOl! to. the bone, you have got see this movie.

70s Band Reunites To Honor Big Jeff Roberts

By Dariel Bendin

Steamboat Springs was a kick-ass electric bluegrass band and if you were around Myrtle Beach from 1974 to 1978, chances are you were one of the thousands who flocked to the Pickin' Parlor to revel in the music, the camaraderie, the friendships and the life. One of the band's fastest friends and biggest fans was the late, great Jeff Roberts - former director of South By Southeast and proprietor of the very independent record store Sounds Familiar,

as well as its successor,

Sounds Belter. Myrtle Beach was robbed of this gentle giant in January, when he died very unexpectedly,. sending a farreaching community of music lovers into an emotional black hole that left us angry and hurting and finally grateful that he was part of our lives.

The Steamboat Springs Band is coming back for a reunion concert at Myrtle Beach's 2001 Ni.ghtclub on June 12.

According to Becky Warren, a regular at the Pickin' Parlor, and now an office manager in Myrtle Beach, who volunteered to coordinate reunion details on this end, "This is the only group of musicians who can bring back all these people. And Jeff knew that. He's making it happen. I know he is. That's what this is about. They're doing this out of love, grief for Jeff. One hundred percent of proceeds are going to South By Southeast

and the Hunter Roberts Fund [Jeff's teenage son], Big Jeff was their unofficial manager when the band was at the beach. He appreciated their music and who they were as people."

The band is made up of nine players and all will be coming for the reunion concert. Here's the lineup: Bill Pruitt is the band's original drummer. He left in 1977 and was replaced by

Steve Wheeler. Les Burnett is the group's bass player. Joel Ferguson, who played later in L.A. with the very popular Midnight Riders, is on pedal steel and banjo. On fiddle is Willie Royal, now half of world music duo Willie & Lobo. Guitarist Gary Davis is coming from Arkansas. Bob Wharton (piano) and his wife Donna Nash Wharton (vocals) who were later additions to the band will be part of the reunion, too. Roadies Steve Brown and J.T. "Cos" Lewis are expected to be on hand for the show as well. Sadly, original drummer Paul Seagraves passed away in 2005.

Sound man Bucky Ferguson is Joel's brother. Once plans for a reunion were underway, it was Bucky who listened to all the band's old tapes, cassettes, and eight-tracks and converted it to digital format.

In a blog post (steamboatspri ngsband. blogspot.com), he wrote, "For two solid weeks after work and the entire weekend, I listened to Steamboat songs ... very old acoustic stuff with the original lead singer Paul Seagraves to the 1980 reunion. Listening to all the old music while converting it to digital has helped me deal with Jeff's passing. His hand is definitely in this 2010 reunion."

Bill Pruitt added some history to that same blog, "We played six nights a week at the beach to many thousands of people over the summer and we got so tight as a band we could tell when Gary's guitar lead or Joel's pedal steel riff or Willy's wild leap and frantic fiddle lick would take us down through a six minute jam .... or bring us to end the song in a quick 30 seconds. Sometimes it only took a certain look from one musician to the other and off we went into musical hyperdrive.

"From that first walk across the new concrete floors and pine-bark split boards that decorated the Pickin' Parlorthrough the many miles, concerts, hotels rooms, fast-food dinners, and barrooms - we entertained thousands with a distinct sound and distinct attitude about life and music."

Bucky adds, "After the 'Summer of 74' in Myrtle Beach, Steamboat travelled throughout the southeast opening for acts

Sea Level, Jimmy Buffet, Bob Seger and played most of the big clubs and many of the dives in the southeast. We were always one listener away from "hitting it big!" Playing rockin' country and bluegrass music in the 70s, before country music was popular, required we have a generous supply of one or more of the following types of people who were either: 1. Drunk, 2. Stoned, or 3. Persons of discriminating tastes but, willing to open the mind to anything that makes you feel that damn good! I remember a guy in

Spartanburg, S.C. saying or rather slurring "I don't even like country music, but you guys are f - - - - - - great!" I don't remember any country bands other than Steamboat that could open for bands like Bob Seger or Leslie West at Alex Cooley's Electric Ballroom in Atlanta but, I also remember playing a converted milking barn in North, South Carolina on Thanksgiving night. Yippee!"

Myrtle Beach first fell in love with Steamboat Springs band during the summer of '74. But it was way more than just a summer fling. This is your chance to get yourself some of that love.

Doors open at 5:45 p.m. (time approximate). The show starts at 6 o'clock and runs through 10 p.m. Minimum donation is $20. Jeff's mom, Miss Montie and his son, Hunter, will be in the house. There will be some touching moments, including a new song written especially for Big Jeff. But this is a celebration. For the music and the man.

Geeky Summer Movie Previews - Part 2

Before we were interrupted with that important message on 3D viewing pleasures (And if you missed the last Geek Strand, go on-line to catch up on that breaking 3D DO news),1 promised to continue my briefs on geeky summer movies, so lets get back to it

Predators (J uly 7)

Ever since Arnie took on these ugly allens come to earth for a hunting vacation, Hollywood has been trying to recover the excitement of that original. This has met with varying success, ranging from the forgeltabl.eincident 'in LA with Danny Glover to the latest duke-out between the predators and their "Alien" nemesis.

This time, instead of visiting Earth, the Predators have sent out for take out. A group of kidnapped humans (with no actors worth mentioning) find themselves hunted on an alien planet

My prediction: mild amusement, but the same old crap we saw Arnie and Jessie Ventura do much better back in the 80s_

The Last. Airbender (July 2)

Based on the popular anime, Ihis Ilve action movie promises to be a faithful adaptation. However, we all know to take that with a pound of salt. Interestingly enough, the !railers look pretty good, and even my non-geek, hates-cartoons girlfriend said she might like to see the movie.

Of course, the hook is that M.

Night Shyamalan is directing andthat is a big danger sign. Despite his early success, his last few movies have failed 10 impress anyone.

My prediction: Kids will drag their parents. Anime fans will nit-pick it to death. Forgotten by the next weekend.

The Twilight Saga:

Eclipse (June 30)

First movie: Oh, I love Edward. He is a Vampire and sparkles in the sun.

Second movie: Maybe I love Jacob. He's all ripped and turns into a real animal at night.

Third movie (this one): Hey, where did this plot come from? Someone is creating an army of vampires and plans to take over Seattle.

My prediction: Despite an ori.ginal idea in the vampire genre (the vamp army not sparkling in the sunlight), this will be more leen angst and boredom for anyone other than teen age girls and those Twilight cougars who lust after the teen vampires and werewolves.

to mention Nick Cage) is working to bring this battle between modern day wizards to life on the streets of Manhattan might no! be too bad.

My prediction: I was skeptical, but the trailers of made a favorable impression on me.

The Sorcerer's Apprentice (July 14)

Disney producing a movie about a single segment of their animated masterpiece "Fantasia?" Wow! That sounds like it could be as successful as a movie about a theme park ride.

However, they did do it with

the "Pirates of the Caribbean," and the same team plus the director of the historical "National Treasure" series (Not

This might be the sleeper hit of the summer.

The Coach's Perspective .....

By Thomas H. Swank, eBC

Staying Patient While You're On The Road To Success ...

By Thomas H. Swank, eBC

Every business person and business owner will at some juncture find Ihem self doing all of the right things ... but failing to garner the desired results. This can be a very trying expertence. It is also a circumstance that can potentially continue for an extended period of lime - and eventually wear your patience thin. In both sports and business, a slump 'is a painful and grueling experience to endure.

The first thing that you need to have clarity about is understanding exactly what "patience" is. Wikipedia defines

"Patience" as the state of endurance under difficult circurnstancas, which can mean persevering in Ihe face of delay, or provocation without acting on annoyance or anger in a negative way; or exhibiting forbearance when under strain, especially when faced w.ithlonger term difficulties.

This seems to more than adequately describe the past 18 months of the now Great Recession whioh you are continuing to experience. Are you committed enough and equally dedicated enough to remain steadfast in the face of continued business and financial trials?

In scripture, Job's exemplary patience is more than just a fable ... it serves as documented

reassurance that regardless of how impatient you may have been in the past ~ you have the capacity to learn how to become more patient in the future, if you are truly wilhng.

I recently had the personal experience of .Iistening 10 a speaker who cited the fact that while you can quite easily catch a disease or illness .. you can't catch good health - you will have to diligently work at and develop it. The same is true of patience, in that you can easily catch an infectious poor attitude from other people and events that can readily contribute to your own "impatience" and neg" ativity. If you are going to have genuine patience to couple with your determination (last issue's article) ~ then you are going to have to be fastidious about developing the art of being patient.

Here is the thing that you need to get hold of... you are going to have times of trial. testing, disappointment and even failure in Ihis life. The key is

how you first handle it and then in the end react to it. This is the measuring stick for your personal degree of patience. Most certainly there are things in life that are going to upset you ... but that doesn't mean Ihat they have to get the best of you in the process.

Take a moment to consider

the sterling advice of Saint Augustine who observed that "Patience is the companion of wisdom." The act of developing or having patience is merely a life process; it is your ability to appropriately learn from your experiences along the road of life that will in lime pay huge dividends in the form of exhibiting true patience.

Life is all about the choices that you ultimately make and how they will in the end impact the quality of the life thai you will live, No mailer what difficulty or hardship you may be facing ... don't all.ow life to push you over the edge. Learn how to stand your groundi for what you believe in and what you in your heart know that you are capa-

ble of achieving.

There is an old axiom that

says that success is the dicect result of:

Right people ...

Doing the Right things ... At the Right time ...

For the Right reasons ...

In the Right way .

In the Right order .

And then achieving Right results ...

This is simply not possible by any measure without having a genuine degree of developed "patience".

Remaining patient is

absolutely essential if you are going to persevere in doinq the things that you need 10 faithfully do in order to achieve suecsssful outcomes. In short .... you need to keep on doinq what you have been trained to do - with the assurance the final outcamels worth wailing for.

Myrtle Beach Tea Party Votes To Relieve President & Treasurer

On June 1, at the Chapin Memorial Library the Myrtle Beach Tea Party held a members only meeting. Topics discussed were board member actions, violations of organizational rules by certain members and recent shifts in the direction of the MBTP. At that meeting the members were not happy with ths new direction pushed by certain officers on the MBTP. Issues were discussed like deviations from the ori.ginal Tea Party positions on certain issues. It was agreed that items like transparency and accountability were not up to the standards Ihat they should be in a constitutional political activist group. Even serious concerns such as membership control over what the political organization were debated and resolved. One of the major issues that was discussed was education. The MBTP began with educating the public and its members on constitutional. issues and the causes of the problems facing our country. However, the last

Our support and alliance with the other Tea Party organizations has no! changed and we look forward to working with all other Tea Party's in our state and country.

Questionable Procedures In The Myrtle8each Tea Party

The following post was placed on the Myrtle Beach Tea Party website during the week of May 24.

"We regret that we have had to temporarily suspend our regular meetings. As you may know there has been a coordinated effort to: (1) disrupt our organization, (2) stop our group from meeting at Friendly's, (3) overthrow our President, (4) perhaps overthrow other board members, and (5) ultimately to hijack the MBTPi and change it's goals., principles, meeting agendas,. and prevent us from effectively campaigning for the Candidates our group has endorsed. The stress levels that this has brought to our group must come to a halt

We cannot allow these disruptive efforts to distract us, especially this close to the primary. We have serious work to do in order to ensure the election of people of integrity, who will represent us at various levels of the S.C. government and in the U.S. Congress.

While we finalize the details of obtaining a new meeting location that will not be infiltrated by disrupters and insurgents, rest assured that our MBTP mission is continuing with full resolve and steadfast determination. Committees are meeting regularly to ensure that our group's goals are ot impeded by a divisive handful of meeting attendees."

Luke Towery, current president of Myrtle Beach Tea Party,

has demonstrated a pattern of inconsistency and incomplete disclosure of funds received from membership fees, fundraising efforts and expenses. The group has had a number of turnovers of members and officers, especially treasurers since its inception in 2009. Most of the original' members and officers have been replaced by the current leadership and have moved on outside the group to join other Tea Party affiliates.

However, it has come to the attention of this publication and other community efforts that there is grave concern for the future and well being of the Tea Party movement in the Grand Strand area. There seems to be an air of mystery in the lack

of transparency by Luke Towery and, Gerri McDaniel, fundraising committee chair. Concerns include the verification of background records of Mr. Towery and his experience and qualifications. There is no tangible evidence of his credibility and efforts to obtain these records have produced nothing but a dead end. This raises more questions as to why Mr. Towery displays such defensive attitudes. When members ask questions and seek information on monies collected, prccedures for endorsement of political candidates and changing of the group's bylaws, etc .. ,. they are met with negative accusations, threats and a shut down of discourse. Some members have been "banned" from meet-

ings and put on "probation" for voicing concerns. Mr. Towery has resigned from the presidency of the group on numerous occasions, but comes back with a vengeance tocontinue to promote his ag,enda. Several members have asked for his resignation, but the venue for this to be put to a vote by the entire group was tabled by Mr. Towery ..

More questions than

answers remain and many are concerned thai the message of the Tea Party which is to be a non-partisan, grassroots, patriotic group that supports and defends the Constitution of the United States has been stifled and splintered by alack of honesty and transparency.

What is "Normal" Aging, and How Can You Help Slow Down the Clock?

By SixWise.com

Aging occurs at varying rates, often due to lifestyle tao-

tors. But according to the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging, which involved screening volunteers aged 20 to 90 every two years for physiological and psychological changes, found that some generalities could be made. As reported by the U.S. National Institutes of Health, National Institute on Aging, these include:

• Heart muscles thicken with age, while maximal oxygen consumption during exercise declines in men by about 10 percent with each decade of adult life and in women by about 7.5 percent.

• Arteries tend to stiffen, which means your heart needs to supply more force to propel the blood forward.

o Maximum breathing (vital) lung capacity may decline by about 40 percent between the ages of 20 and 70.

o The ability of individual brain neurons to function may diminish with age.

• Kidneys gradually become less efficient at extracting wastes from the blood.

o Bladder capacity declines.

Urinary incontinence, which

may occur after tissues atrophy, particularly in women, can often be managed through exercise and behavioral techniques.

o Typically, body fat gradually increases in adulthood until individuals reach middle age. Then it usually stabilizes until late life, when body weight tends to decline. As weight falls, older individuals tend to lose both muscle and body fat.

o Without exercise, estimated muscle mass declines 22 percent for women and 23 percent for men between the ages of 30 and 70. Exercise can slow this rate of loss.

o Bone mineral loss begins to outstrip replacement around age 35. This loss accelerates in women at menopause. Regular weight-bearing exercise can slow bone loss.

o Difficulty focusinq close up may begin in the 40s; the ability to distinguish fine details may begin to decline in the 70s. From 50 on, there is increased susceptibility to glare,. greater difficulty in seeing at low levels of illumination, and more difficulty in detecting

moving objects.

o It becomes more difficult to hear higher frequencies with age. Even older individuals who have good hearing thresholds may experience difficulty in understanding speech, especially in situations where there is background noise.

o Personality is extraordinarily stable throughout adulthood. Generally, it does not change radically, even in the face of major events in life such as retirement, job loss, or death of loved ones.

The important point to remember here is not how your body will react as you age, but rather that you can influence the rate at which you age by making positive changes to your lifestyle .

What this means is that the "average" signs of aging described above may occur much later in life for you, or even not at all.

Saturday, May 22 runs through Saturday, June 26. The arts center is located at 733 Pickney Sf.

Farnell, of Conway, is assistant professor of visual arts and director of the Rebecca Randall Bryan Art Gallery at Coastal Carolina University.

Presence (Veils) consists of diaphanous hanging banners printed on silk, framed portraits printed on watercolor paper and a projected montage of still and moving images. The mingling of the vintage portraits of women with my own contemporary pictures of Southern landscapes is a way to link the women's lives with mine. Acknowledging the veiled and inaccurate nature of memory, as well as its power to reveal, I seek to create visual anchors in the shifting terrain of contemporary life."

"The folklore of some cultures includes the belief that a baby born with a 'veil' (caul) has the ability to see and communicate wah the spirit world," says Farnell.

CCU Offers Sm.a.rt Choice Houslnq to Students

By Mona Prufer

Incoming freshmen at

Coastal Carolina University can now choose Smart Choice Housing, a campusiriitiative that encourages sludents to make responsible decisions as part of their life plan. Sophomores liv.ing at University Place, an apartment complex owned and managed by CCU,. may also join the program.

Special Interest Housing has been developed by the Office of Residence Ufe and students to enhance the living-.learning atmosphere in residence halls. These options, called Living and Learning Communities, give students the opportunity to share in experiences with others who enjoy similar interests and lifestyles. Students feel a sense of ownership and camaraderie with their feJlow residents.

Areas of special interest housing include science and math; honors; sea house (about the sea and beaches); professional golf management (PGM) community; and undeclared majors. Smart Choice Housing will be located in The Woods Residence Hall on campus.

"It's not about staying quiet," says Paula Drummond, director of Residence Ufe. "It is about respecting others and being positive about behavior and its impact Students who sign up for Smart Choice Housing will have to understand the concept and commit to it."

"I want to live around people who are serious about their school work," says Tara Antoinette Smith,. a marine science major from Baltimore, Md. "By I.iving in Smart Choice Housing, I'll be better able to concentrate on my studies."

Initiated in 2009 in response to trends in alcohol consurnption by college students-a major concern at universities across the nation-Smart Choice is one element of a comprehensive approach designed to create a culture of accountability and responsibility to prepare students for success during their college years and after grad uation,

The Pathology of Thyroid Conditions

By Robert J. Gay, MD, Clinical Pathology Consultants, Member of SCAlP

Robert J. Gay, MD.

There are ever 59 million Americans with thyroid prob-

lems, the majority of which have not yet been diagnosed. If Jeft untreated, thyroid problems can increase your risk of obesity, heart disease, depression, anxiety, hair loss, sexual dysfunction, infertility and many more symptoms and health problems.

The thyroid is a gland in the neck shaped like a butterfly and when it functions improper.ly, it can affect every aspect of your health including weighl, depression and energy levels. Though you don't need to experience them all, these are the most common signs thai show you may have a thyroid oondition: muscle or joint pains, neck discomfort or enlargement, hair or skin changes, bowel problems, family history, cholesterol issues, depression and anxiety, weight changes and' fatigue.

There are many factors that contribute to the risk of develop-

ing a thyroid condition, however, few of the key risk factors include:

• Gender. Women are at greater risk of developing thymid disease than men.

• Family history. Personal and family history of thyroid conditions also. increase your risk,

• Age. Being 50 years old or older increases the risk of thyroid conditions for both men and women.

• Smok.ing .. Cigarettes contain a chemical that affects the thyroid gland, increasing your risk of developing. a thyroid condition.

• Stress. Stress is considered an environmental fisk factor for thyroid conditions.

If your healthcare provider suspects you may have a thyroid condition, one step for diagnosing the problem is a biopsy

of the thyroid gland. This procedure involves the use of a small needle to remove a small sample of tissue from the thyroid gland. The sample is given to a pathologist who then looks at it under a microscope to determine whether it is cancer, an infection or other thyroid problem. Recen! developments in biopsy procedures include using ultrasound to guide the needle and studies now show having a pathologist on-site during the biopsy can decrease the number of repeat biopsies which were often performed due to inadequate sample sizes from the first procedures.

Though conditions associated with thyroid conditions are not usually fatal, the symptoms can be very uncomfortable and unnecessary. If you experience one or more symptoms listed above, schedule an appoint-

men! with your healthcare provider for a thyroid evaluation and remember, it is your right to choose your pathologist as carefully as you would choose your physician.

PUll Smells Gnarly

DEAR PAW'S CORNER:

I have a t-year-old pug that realJy smells. I take "Deb" to have her bathed, and a day later she smells again. I was giving her a bath every week and was told that it would dry out her skin. What should I do about it? I hate to give her up, but she smells really bad.

- Pinching My Nose in Rochester, N. Y.l

DEAR PINCHING MY NOSE:

I've never owned a dog that smelled so bad I had to give it up. But I have owned a few smelly dogs in my lifetime. In most cases of chronic odiferousness, a skin problem or other medical condition is the culprit.

That's why J would recommend you take Deb to a veterinarian who has experience with pug,s and their unique issues. Any time a dog's odor is frequently and noticeably unpleasant - not just when you get up close to their fur and sniff, but almost literalty "Oh man, Deb's in the room," you should have her checked out.

One problem that's been noted in pugs is yeast infections, which can produce a rather gnarly smell. Dogs prone to these infections need careful monitoring and shouldn't be bathed too much (as dry skin can worsen the problem).

Because pugs can suffer from skin problems and allerqies, you want to be careful about how frequently Deb is bathed and what shampoos are used. Talk to the vet about best grooming practices for a pug.

DEAR PAW'S CORNER:

Can you train a cat?

- Janice in Wheeling, W Va.

DEAR JANICE:

Sure, although I'm of the opinion that most cats train you.

Seriously - they learn, pretty early on, what "buttons" to push to get you 10 give tnern food or treats, let them out, pet them or stop typing a pet column and pay attention to him or her.

But you can have the last laugh and train your cat to respond to commands or Signals. Remember that cats are very different than dogs in their approach to the world and in how they respond. In fact, you'll want to somewhat mimic the waylhat your cat learns to train you: They observe you quietly, then test a few different methods of getting what they want and adopt the most successful one.

It's also important to note that cats don't respond weH to negative reinforcement. You can shake a can of pennies at them or hiss or yel'l "no!" when a cat is doing something. you don't want it to do, and that might work in the short term, but mostly their response is to run away.

If you're training a cat to specifically do something on command, you need to use positive reinforcement almost exclusively. This is rewarding the cat with a treat, a stroke or a kind word immediately after it responds to the movement you're trying to teach. The cat needs to develop a positive association with the activity.

Keep training sessions short and somewhat spontaneous.

Most cats don't las! more than five or 10 minutes per session. And don't get discouraged if your cat doesn't "get" it after days or week.s. Instead, be patient and look for new ways to make the connection with your cat.

Three Tlps for Choosing the :Right Cordless Drill

No home improvem.ent project is too big or too small for a cordless power dri.IL With so many options available, choosing the right oordless drill for your specific needs will maximize your time and investment. Beyond a variety of specifications, like torque, clutch settings, and revolutions per minute, understanding value, techno.logy and service can help you make the best decision. Use the following three tips when you buy your first drill or plan to upgrade.

Do the Research

With various brands and models on the market, it's a good idea to understand what you may expect in terms of performance over time. Choose brands or models that have been tested and boast proven reliability. It's also important to look to independent sources such as Consumer Reports (www.consumerreports.org) to research reliable brands and models to ensure that you find a drill thai will best suit you.

While it is easy to become overwhelmed with different price points and features, consider how much you're willing to spend and start to narrow

The extended run-time EX Lithium-Ion battery is recommended for tools like circular and reciprocatinq saws, where maximum power and runtime are required.

For more flexibil.ity, consider 'interchangeable battery packs, such as the Porter-Cable 1,8- volt Lithium-Ion and NiCd batteries, which offer more cholces for the user who wants professional quality at a good
