Slimming Down the South



This Saturday, celebrities are coming together to help fight childhood obesity with the Slim Down the South Celebrity Softball Challenge for Louie's Kids. It all started off as a dream for Louis Yuhasz of Louie's Kids, he said one night to his partner, Fred, what if we have a softball game and invite celebrities from around the nation to show kids that they're standing behind the kids to lose the weight and get healthy. And that dream turned into a reality. With big names Bill Murray and Darius Rucker saying yes to being captains of the team, to all the other wonderful celebrities that are participating too, it's amazing to think that the event is almost here. 



The Slim Down the South Celebrity Softball Challenge is an

amazing 'Field of Dreams' day at the ballpark and a softball 

game between celebrity teams to raise awareness and 

monies for Louie's Kids and Run Buddies to combat childhood 

obesity in the areas hardest hit by this epidemic.

What I love about it is that it's affordable for the entire family, with tickets only $12 and children under 3 are FREE unless they require a seat.   



 So log onto www.slimdownthesouth.com today to get your tickets because they are going fast! 


I hope to see you there. Cheers, Ryan

Farewell to Dean Stephens of WCIV-TV

  Working in local TV news was something I wanted to do since I was a child...ask my parents, I would stage interviews and anchor from the couch in our ranch-style home when we had smooth wood hugging the TV and its 4 channels. ABC, NBC, CBS & PBS during the 1980s. My dad is a news lover and from a young age, I always watched news. Most parents in today's world would say "She's too young. You can't expose kids to that!" But when did a Nelson truly listen to other people? I grew up watching Charleston TV news. I idolized local reporters during Hurricane Hugo like Cathy O'Hara, had a crush on Dan Krosse and was even scared to walk up to Kellen Butler when we were both at the Music Farm. Local TV was different back then in the 90s/2000s. I've told the story often but, humor me here... I was dating my boyfriend-now-husband, Darren, and was the traffic reporter for ABC News 4 in Charleston. I had never been a traffic reporter until then, but figured when I ...
