Kiawah Arts Council: The History of Concerto – March 18

CSO March 18CSO: The History of Concerto
Holy Spirit Catholic Church
Sunday, March 18, 2018 | 4:00 p.m.

The Charleston Symphony Orchestra’s (CSO) Chamber Ensemble will come to Holy Spirit Church on Betsy Kerrigan Parkway to play an all concerto concert. Most of us know and love the Brandenburg concertos of J. S. Bach, and his Brandenburg No. 4 will lead off the concert, harpsichord and all. Then one of Mozart’s most acclaimed piano concertos, No. 9 the “Jeunehomme” will follow with Charleston’s own 15 year-old piano virtuoso, Caleb Borick performing the solo. If you didn’t get to hear Caleb last spring at our Piccolo Preview Event, you really should hear him this time.

Change Your Clocks And Test Your Smoke Alarms

Don’t forget to turn your clocks ahead one hour this evening.  Daylight Savings Time begins at 2:00 am Sunday, March 11, 2018.

In addition to changing clocks to “Spring Ahead,” it’s also time to check your smoke alarms.

If the alarms are too high to reach or you are not able to access them, the St. John’s Fire District has a Citizen Safe Smoke Alarm Program to help.  Just send a request through their website www.stjfd.org.  Once in the site, you will see a link for Fire & Life Safety on the upper right corner.  Click on it and go to the Smoke Alarm Request.

A helpful hint from the National Fire Protection Association is to replace all your smoke alarms every 10 years. The inside mechanisms might not be as effective after that.  Many of the alarms are only warranted for 10 years.

To check your smoke alarm, press and hold the test button. It is usually on the bottom or side.  It can take a few seconds to begin, but a loud siren should come from the alarm while the button is pressed.  If the sound is weak or you can’t hear it, replace the batteries.

Making the Botany Island Oyster Reef – March 17

The Nature Conservancy is building an Oyster Reef on Botany Island, on the south side of the Edisto River across from Seabrook Island. They are looking for 40-45 volunteers to assist with this project, which will provide a surface for young oysters to attach and grow and also provide a habitat and feeding area for over 100 species of fish, crab and shrimp.

Oyster reefThe date is March 17, 2018, from approximately noon to 5 pm. The meeting site is Bohicket Marina. Volunteers will be ferried to the site by boat and returned to the Marina at the conclusion of the work on Saturday.

Oyster reefs are a critical component of the South Carolina coast, providing structure that serves as habitat for a wide variety of fish and other marine life, maintaining healthy water quality, mitigating shoreline erosion, and serving as a buffer from storm surge. One oyster filters 50 gallons of water per day! Additionally, oysters are an important economic component of South Carolina fisheries valued at $1.2 million, but there has been a significant decline in oyster populations due to over-harvest, disease, and habitat loss. The Conservancy is committed to large-scale restoration of oyster reefs to re-establish the suite of ecosystem services they provide.

Please email: ed.siggelko@tnc.org to sign up as a volunteer for this important project.

Turtle Patrol 2018 Kick-Off Meeting and New Member Orientation – April 5

babyturtlewaving (2)cropped 10-17The 2018 Turtle Patrol Season will begin with the New Member Orientation and Kick-Off Meeting on Thursday, April 5 at the Lake House. The New Member Orientation will be held in the Osprey I conference room at 6:00 pm and the Kick-Off Meeting will be held in the Live Oak Hall at 7:00 pm. The New Member Orientation provides an overview of the Seabrook Island Turtle Patrol activities and the Kick-Off Meeting provides an overview of the upcoming season and the opportunity to schedule beach walking days and order Turtle Patrol T-Shirts.

The purpose of the Seabrook Island Turtle Patrol is to protect and preserve the sea turtles that visit our beaches. To accomplish this, members of the patrol walk the beaches every morning during the nesting and hatching season. The season typically runs from May until October. The beach patrols begin in early May. During these walks, members identify and locate nests. The nests are then protected with screening and are recorded and monitored. When evidence of hatchlings occurs, and sufficient time has passed to allow all hatchlings to emerge on their own, the nest is inventoried to collect data for the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources. Since 1990, the Seabrook Island Turtle Patrol has identified over 900 nests on our beaches and the number of nests has been growing. During the last 27 years, sea turtles have deposited over 100,000 eggs on Seabrook Island and over 80,000 live hatchlings started their life journey on Seabrook Island sand.

To learn more about the Seabrook Island Turtle Patrol and how you can help, go to the Patrol web site, siturtlepatrol.com or check out our Facebook page under Seabrook Island Turtle Patrol. You can also contact Patrol Leader Terry Fansler at terry@carettasway.com with any questions.

Strength and Conditioning Class

Check out the Strength and Conditioning Class with Allison on Fridays at 9:15 am at the Lake House.

It’s an excellent class for improving muscle tone, strength and stamina! The class is easy to follow and utilizes interval style workouts that include weight training, cardio intervals, body weight functional training and core
work!

Participation will result in improved joint mobility, improved stability and greater muscle fiber recruitment, all of which help to elevate and sustain metabolic activity, thus providing a great overall conditioning workout.

7 Benefits of Interval Training

  • Increased endurance – Interval training trains your heart to pump more blood to the muscles and it trains your muscles to extract oxygen from it more efficiently, making all your other workouts easier to handle
  • More efficient workouts – If you don’t have much time, interval workouts are great timesavers, allowing you to get a lot done in a shorter period of time
  • More fuel efficiency – Interval training enhances your body’s utilization of fats and carbs
  • More power and endurance – Working at high intensities raises your lactate threshold and improves your performance
  • Reduced risk of injury – Because you’re varying intensity, you may be able to avoid overuse injuries or overdoing it with longer workouts
  • More fun – Interval workouts have much more variety than other workouts, making them less tedious
  • Weight loss – Studies show that interval training, even at a moderate intensity, may burn more fat and, if you work hard enough, can increase after burn.

Interval training involves alternating segments of high-intensity exercise with periods of rest. This allows you to work more in a shorter period of time and it’s much more comfortable than spending the entire workout at a high intensity. Another plus is that it works for all types of exercisers. For beginners, aerobic intervals offer a safe and comfortable way to push out of the comfort zone and, for seasoned exercisers, anaerobic intervals make workouts more challenging and effective. It’s even been shown to improve patients with COPD and metabolic syndrome.

Join Alison on Fridays at 9:15 AM for Strength and Conditioning!
