| Culinary students dish it out in QUEST for top contest prize
Seventeen-year-old Loren Worley packed rice pilaf O'Brien into a cup and paused. The cup molded the rice into what would be a neat mound. But Loren couldn't figure out how she'd get the rice onto a plate. "I can't do this," the Garrett Academy of Technology junior said, looking for help from her teammates, juniors Ashley Blake, Nathaniel Washington and Jerame Smalls, all age 17. The Garrett Academy teens relied on teamwork while competing in the culinary contest at the 22nd annual QUEST Academic Competition on Saturday at Trident Technical College's North Charleston campus. The team hustled in the kitchen, preparing pecan-encrusted chicken breasts with onion mushroom cream sauce, stuffed zucchini and rice pilaf O'Brien. They originally planned to make couscous instead of the rice, but they found out at the competition that they'd have to cook something else.

Preserve Your Valuable Documents
(Family Features) - Top-secret, classified, highly sensitive, available only on a need-to-know basis. These descriptors conjure up images of CIA spy flicks and prime-time police dramas, but everyone has their own "classified" file - or should.We all have vital documents that should be treated with the utmost care and concern. Marriage licenses, birth certificates, wills, deeds, mortgage papers, insurance information, stock and bond certificates - these are just a few of the essential papers most Americans have on hand, but probably aren't caring for or storing properly.According to the document service experts at The UPS Store , there's no time like the present to update, copy and store your personal documents. In fact, The UPS Store franchisee Donna Evans recommends that people make copying important documents a yearly ritual.
