The sun is shining bright, on this coastal town The breeze is blowing soft, as we walk around The ocean’s rolling waves, are crashing on the shore We’ll spend the day in Charleston, and we’ll want for nothing more
(Chorus) Charleston, Charleston, the coastal fun We’ll walk the beach, and soak up the sun We’ll dance and sing, all night long Charleston, Charleston, where we belong
(Verse 2) The shrimp and grits are hot, and the sweet tea is cold The music fills the air, and we’re never feeling old The architecture’s grand, with history so rich We’ll take a horse-drawn carriage ride, it’s an experience to which we’ll never switch
(Chorus) Charleston, Charleston, the coastal fun We’ll walk the beach, and soak up the sun We’ll dance and sing, all night long Charleston, Charleston, where we belong
(Bridge) The colors of the sunrise, the sunset’s gentle hues We’ll take it all in, and never feel the blues The salty air’s refreshing, it’s like a breath of life Charleston, Charleston, we’ll keep you in sight
(Chorus) Charleston, Charleston, the coastal fun We’ll walk the beach, and soak up the sun We’ll dance and sing, all night long Charleston, Charleston, where we belong
(Outro) Charleston, Charleston, our hearts will forever be In this coastal town, where life is carefree.

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 small beets (golden or red), cut into 1/2-inch chunks
1/2 bunch rainbow carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
1/2 cup 1-inch parsnip chunks

1 tablespoon garlic powder

Heat the remaining tablespoon olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken until browned, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 4 to 5 minutes more.
Remove the chicken to a plate. Add the beets, carrots, parsnips and onions to the skillet and cook until browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the rosemary, sage, thyme and tarragon and nestle the chicken into the vegetables. Transfer the skillet to the bottom rack of the oven.
Bake until the juices from the chicken run clear and the vegetables are tender, about 40 minutes. For the butter sauce: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the sherry, if using, along with the parsley, lemon juice and garlic. Bring the mixture to a simmer and season with salt and pepper.
Remove the skillet from the oven and pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables.

Asheville, NC – For years, Asheville’s Brother Wolf Animal Rescue has proudly worked across county lines helping thousands of homeless animals within the Western North Carolina region. Today, the animal rescue organization steps onto the international stage by welcoming dogs who have been rescued from the horrors of a South Korean dog meat farm.
Since 2015, members of Humane Society International (HSI) have been traveling to South Korea in the hopes of ending the consumption of dog meat by providing local farmers with practical tools to leave the industry. The dogs in Brother Wolf’s care come from HSI’s 18th dog farm closure made possible through their Models for Change program.
“We’re honored to partner with Humane Society International on this rescue,” said Leah Craig Fieser, Executive Director of Brother Wolf Animal Rescue. “These dogs have come from the worst kind of living conditions. We are so thankful that they are now safe with us and will get to experience the life every dog deserves – a life of care, kindness and joy.”
Despite the decreasing popularity of dog meat throughout South Korea, there are still about one million dogs confined in farms across the country who are experiencing daily neglect. Brother Wolf is asking for donations to support the medical treatment and daily care these dogs will require to recover and heal prior to adoption. As part of Brother Wolf’s Spring Match Challenge, a generous community member is matching all donations through the end of April up to $50,000. Households interested in fostering with Brother Wolf can learn more and sign up on their website www.bwar.org. When the dogs from South Korea are ready for adoption, Brother Wolf Animal Rescue will post them as available on their website.
