SCE&G to cover Congaree River coal tar instead of removing it

By Terry Ward Lexchront@yahoo.com

Federal authorities have approved plans to cover polluted Congaree River coal tar instead of removing it.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers approved a permit Oct. 18, that allows S.C. Electric & Gas to cover the coal tar with stones and other material to hold it in place.

The patch of coal tar is between the Gervais Street Bridge in West Columbia, and the Blossom Street Bridge in Cayce.

The coal tar seeped into the river as long as 100

years ago from a gaslight fuel station in the Vista area of Columbia. That plant closed in the 1950s.

The tar slick on the Columbia side of the river was discovered in 2010.

SCE&G had planned to remove the tar but the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers denied building a coffer dam.

The dam would have forced water over the banks on the Lexington County side of the river.

SCE&G released a statement saying it has worked for about six years to find the best solution. The cost has never been a deciding factor.

State health officials determined the river is safe for recreation and the tar poses no short-term health hazard.

But SCE&G had preferred to remove the tar.

No strategy for removal is viable from an engineering standpoint and for which SCE&G could obtain permits.

SCE&G plans a capping system, such as a concrete articulated mat, to create a barrier to prevent the tar speading. Over time, the mat will be covered naturally by additional sediment.

SCE&G is working onh the design and permitting process.

The birds that don’t belong: How a man’s meddling caused a natural nightmare

A

utumn’s annual headache is about to begin: Starlings are preparing for their yearly get-togethers.

They gather in huge flocks to pass winter by roosting together.

We’re talking thousands upon thousands of birds all are native to Europe. hunkered down in one place So how did we wind up at one time. with them?

I’ll probably detonate Blame it on Eugene a full-scale nuclear meltSchieffelin. down for writing this, but As is the case with so here goes. many things Starlings are that turn out nasty animals. disastrously They are to wrong, this one the bird world began with “it what street seemed like a gangs are to good idea at humans: mean, the time.” vicious punks Schieffelin MARK POWELL was a wealthy, bent on dominating their terquiet man.

But here’s the thing: NaThere was a major effort ture never intended Amer- to elevate the lives of the icans to contend with this Big Apple’s citizenry in the particular pest. Starlings closing days of the 19th

Century.

For example, people suggested opening the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Sundays to lure New Yorkers out of saloons. (It didn’t work.)

Schieffelin was an avid member of something called the American Acclimatization Society, whose members thought introducing European plants and animals in North America was a good thing.

Instead, it unleashed what one writer called “biological pollution.”

An idea hatched in Schieffelin’s mind that was so utterly preposterous, author Kim Todd called him “an eccentric at best, a lunatic at worst.” He would fill the trees of New York’s Central Park with all the birds

It’s a Dog’s Life Sticky problem A carpenter was called upon to put up a bulletin board in a church vestry.

Since the walls were marble, he tried to glue the frame on the wall rather than nailing it, but ran into problems until he tried making the frame out of burr oak.

That adhered quite successfully, leading him to admonish his young assistant, “If it ain’t burr oak, don’t affix it.”

Put something in it Little Emily was complaining to her mother that her stomach hurt.

Her mother replied, “That’s because it’s empty.

Maybe you should try putting something in it.”

The next day, their pastor was over at their house for lunch.

He mentioned that his head was hurting, to which Emily immediately replied, “That’s because it’s empty.

Maybe you should try putting something in it.”

Television math The math teacher saw that one of her students wasn’t paying attention in class.

She called on him and said, “Billy! What are 2 and 4 and 28 and 44?”

Billy quickly replied, “PBS, CBS, Nickelodeon and the Cartoon Network!”

Fight your own fight A little boy came home from the playground with a bloody nose, black eye, and torn clothing.

It was obvious he’d been in a bad fight and lost.

While his father was patching him up, he asked his son what happened.

“Well, Dad,” said the boy, “I challenged Larry to a duel. And, you know, I gave him his choice of weapons.”

“Uh-huh,” said the father, “that seems fair.”

“I know, but I never

thought he’d choose his big sister!”

Things you don’t want to hear during surgery • Better save that. We’ll need it for the autopsy.

• Someone call the janitor — we’re going to need a mop.

• Wait a minute, if this is his spleen, then what’s that?

• Hand me that ... uh ... that uh ... thingie.

• Oops! Hey, has anyone ever survived 500ml of this stuff before?

• Ya know, there’s big money in kidneys. Heck, the guy’s got two of ’em.

• Everybody stand back! I lost my contact lens!

• What’s this doing here?

• That’s cool! Now can you make his leg twitch?!

• Anyone see where I left that scalpel?

• Don’t worry. I think it IS sharp enough.

• Darn! Page 47 of the manual is missing!

Health care differences Two patients limp into two different medical clinics with identical complaints.

Both have trouble walking and appear to require a hip replacement.

The first patient is examined within the hour, is x-rayed the same day and has a time booked for surgery the following week.

The second sees the family doctor after waiting a week for an appointment, then waits eighteen weeks to see a specialist, then gets an x-ray, which isn’t reviewed for another month and finally has his surgery scheduled for 6 months from then.

Why the different treatment for the two patients?

The first is a Golden Retriever... ...the second is a Senior Citizen.

She’s the teacher I am a Kindergarten

mentioned in Shakespeare’s works.

According to Schieffelin’s scheme, seeing living reminders of the Bard’s literature would somehow inspire New Yorkers to open a book and discover literary beauty for themselves. And his family fortune assured him the means to turn this absurdity into reality.

So he ordered 80 European starlings sent from the Old Country.

On a blistery cold, snowy morning in early March 1890 he opened their crates in Central Park.

The birds, dazed after long weeks aboard a rolling ship crossing

the Atlantic amid winter storms, walked out a few steps and just then stood there. They seemed lost in a haze, unsure what to do in their new home.

Schieffelin finally grew tired of standing around in the cold waiting for the birds to fly away.

He ran into them, waving his arms and shouting, “Go, go go!!” With that, the very first starlings took wing in American airspace.

Schieffelin was so dedicated to the project, he even released another 100 starlings in 1891.

At first, the birds were a novelty. The public was intrigued by them.

In February 1900, a woman wrote a letter to the New York

Times eagerly describing a new bird variety that had recently shown up in her neighborhood and wondered if it could be a starling.

But America’s love affair with the newcomer didn’t last long.

They quickly caused the decline of several other bird types, including the eastern bluebird, state bird of both New York and Missouri.

Say this much for starlings – they have an active love life.

From those original 180 birds released in the 1890s their numbers have grown to more than 200 million in Canada, the U. S. and Mexico today.

So as your local animal control agency gears up this fall to deal with the annual starling nightmare, a wealthy socialite’s environmental meddling was to blame for it.

A reminder that sometimes nature is best left to its own devices.

Once starlings were released into the country in 1890, the species quickly became a persistent pest problem for Americans.

teacher at our church’s small private school. My 7-year-old son also attends there.

One morning during the first week of school, my son ran up and gave me a big hug and kiss.

One of the new Kindergarten students witnessed this and she asked me: “Is that your son?”

I answered, “Yes.” She looked at me with wide-eyed awe and asked, “Does he know you’re a teacher?”

Goldfish Burial Little Tim was in the garden filling in a hole when his neighbor peered over the fence.

Interested in what the cheeky-faced youngster was up to, he politely asked, “What are you up to there, Tim?” “My goldfish died,” replied Tim tearfully, without looking up, “and I’ve just buried him.”

The neighbor was concerned, “That’s an awfully big hole for a goldfish, isn’t it?”

Tim patted down the last heap of earth then replied, “That’s because he’s still inside your cat!”

Chronicle Book Club Once a month, local authors and writers will recommend to you their favorite books and favorite writers.

They will share with you why they love these books and why you, too, may come to love them.

A father’s love can overcome anything V. A. Riccasola is an adventurous individual currently residing in Lexington County and working in Public Safety who writes tales inspired by her experiences in the Northeastern and Southwestern United States. Now she is accumulating experiences in the American South to share. Careers in hospitality, real estate, the medical field and public safety, and her love of travel drives her passion to share the world’s beauty, personal and imagined experiences through her writing. Her books are the culmination of hours of pecking away at her keyboard in between her daily adventures. his month, Riccasola, author of “The Dam Run: Conquering Lake Murray Dam” and “Seasons: Messages for Life” recommends “The Horse Boy” a heart-wrenching true story as told by Rupert Isaacson of the journey that he, his wife Kristin, and his autistic son Rowan took through Outer Mongolia.

Seeing that their son was locked inside his own world of extreme autism, Rupert and Kristin were determined to make a connection with him. They watched helplessly as Rowan went into increasingly more intense fits and stimming, often shouting and causing extreme frustration and public displays. Longing for a parental

bond with their son and some peace in their home, he and his wife tried many therapies and schools to assist them in becoming a part of Rowan’s life beyond caretakers. Accidentally and quite fatefully, Rupert discovered that Rowan seemed to be able to communicate in some way with animals.

The communication was non-verbal and inexplicable.

Even a highly spirited alpha mare, Betsy, yielded to the boy whenever he was around; protecting him and showing a closeness or affection toward the child.

Observing Rowan with Betsy, Rupert experimented with riding and other horse

related activities in desperate attempts to draw his son out; or to reach in to connect with the boy. Noting improvements in Rowan’s development and vocabulary while the child was interacting with the mare, Rupert dedicated as much time as he could to getting the two together. Sadly, he could not make the improvements last into their time away from the horse.

Inspired by their experiences and possibly something divine, Rupert researched autism treatments involving animals and came up with a plan to travel with the boy to visit the Horse People of Ulaanbaatar, a

group of shamans and healers whom he believed could possibly cure his son. His wife, skeptical and resistant, meeting him with strong opposition, finally agreed to consider the trip if Rupert could raise the money for it.

Though the experience is not without difficulty to say the least, through a series of events that one can consider to be kismet, not only does the trip get financed, and a group formed to document it; the entire family seemed to benefit from the adventure and the treatment alike.

As I journeyed with this family to the far reaches of the earth and places beyond, I laughed, cried, and strug-

gled with them. Enraptured and completely taken over by this book, their story became my story and their son like my own. I cheered at their triumphs and stomped my feet in anguish at their setbacks.

The incredible strength that this family shows while travelling the world to accomplish the seemingly impossible, driven by a father’s love for his son, proves to us that even through our most challenging times, there can be great joy. This book restores my childlike faith in the magic of life. It is one of the most inspiring stories I have ever encountered!

Sweet side of Fashion for a Cause

By Rachel Haynie haynie.rachel@gmail.com

Help came in many shapes and sizes – and flavors.

Lexington turned out Monday for this year’s “Fashion for a Cause” at Travinia’s on U.S. 378.

For baker and confectioner Noelle Almond, her small helper was seventh grader Anna Shull, a protégé.

Almond, known regionally as Desserts by Noelle, met Shull earlier this year during a photography session.

When the colorful Fashion for a Cause event approached, the veteran baker invited Anna to join her at the icing shot table.

“Anna got to experience what this event is all about,” Almond said. “For her to see a community come together in support of breast cancer cure and research is a good lesson.”

Earlier, Almond and Shull were tapped to appear on national food network programs, and the two compared notes during a photo shoot a few months after Shull’s on-air segment of a kids’ baking competition.

“Anna arrived in time to see how restaurant staff at Travinia’s came in, volunteering their own time, to set up the space and then to take care of the guests.”

Twin sisters Cindy Nyberg Chambers and Candy Newkirk – founders of the Fashion for a Cause nonprofit foundation – brought in garments and accessories from Cho, a Lexington salon and boutique, to be modeled by patients and survivors of breast cancer.

Almond said the informal modeling of selected fashion items matched garments

available as part of the silent auction area of the restaurant.

“All the money derived from this event goes to help local cancer patients with expenses associated with their treatment,” she said.

Almond was inspired to donate her time and supplies after losing her mother and an aunt to breast cancer within days of each other.

“I knew how Cindy and Candy felt when they established this foundation,” Almond said.

“The twins happened to be at Travinia’s, distraught over breast cancer plaguing their mother (a survivor), employees and friends, and their discussion was heated: ‘There must be something we can do.’”

That’s when Anderson Chambers, the restaurant’s manager, joined the conversation and offered the Italian ristorante for a fundraiser including donations of food and service.

Almond said one of their concepts has been replicated across America.

“Ta Tinas has gone national – the word describes the very young demographic of women who are diagnosed with breast cancer, and it also was a special pink cocktail designed at Travenia’s especially for the occasion.

Almond’s central part in the lunch-time production was the icing shot bar.

“Guests were able to choose their favorite icing – including many gluten free options - and match it with their favorite cupcake,” said Almond, who acknowledged donations for this singular aspect of the event exceeded her expectations.

When you have neuropathy, you lose your strength, your vitality, and you will suffer needlessly. And on top of all of that, you AGE prematurely because you’re either always sitting, or you hobble around like a disabled person. That will change after you start receiving this amazing technology. You may be suffering now, but within a few

weeks, you’ll be walking normal again, and most likely, you won’t have the severe symptoms I mentioned earlier.

Can You Qualify?

I don’t know if you qualify, without examining you. Most people that come to the office admit they have a fear of failure, but surprisingly, instead of having their hopes smashed again, they get RELIEF. And all neuropathy patients go through a thorough screening to find out if they qualify. That way I know whether or not I can help you. If I do an evaluation and it does not appear that you will be a good candidate, you will NOT be accepted.

What Should You Do Next?

Helping people know the best treatment available for them is the best service I can provide. So CALL my office NOW! Don’t worry. You won’t have to make any radical changes in your lifestyle, have surgery, or take any harmful drugs.

None of that. Your treatments will be private and you’ll consult with me personally for follow up and questions.

Once you regain your health, you’ll have more energy, look good, and walk and feel normal again. You’re going to be excited by the results!!

Get Relief!

I asked each one to sum up the whole experience and what they learned.

Shannon, who had expected one really big life changing event, realized that little events were just as important.

And that flexibility in everything on a mission trip was essential.

She said she felt glad and blessed that she was part of a church that believes in the value of mission work.

Gracen said that it had changed her faith for the better because she saw God working through the people that we came to help when she observed a little girl making a cross in arts and crafts last day he realized that his time and putting our team contribution was beneficial. name on it to pray for us.

Lastly he said about mission She added that we may think it was our plan but it was really God’s plan.

Ruby Claire enjoyed using her Spanish and being in a very different culture and spending quality time with her parents and sister.
