United Way sets campaign goal The United Way of the Lowcountry has announced a $100,000 increase in its fundraising goal for the 2014 campaign. On the success of last year’s $2.3 million campaign, newly-elected Chairman of the Board of Directors Ashley Twombley announced the new goal of $2.4 million at the non-profit’s annual meeting Thursday, April 3 at Hampton Lakes in Bluffton. “I think this organization’s best days are ahead,” said Twombley. “This time next year I fully expect to be celebrating another year like this past one, knowing we have increased the number of people we are able to help.”

Formerly limited to a four month, targeted campaign, the United Way of the Lowcountry is moving to a yearlong fundraising format to better emphasize its services as a community impact organization. The new campaign format also lifts a fundraising blackout period for its partner agencies. Twombley takes over as board chairman from Chris McCorkendale, whose tenure included expansion of the Early Grade Reading Program and the organization reaching its fundraising goal for the first time since 2007. In addition to Twombley, Mark

O’Neil was sworn in as chairman-elect and Tracy Greco was sworn in as board treasurer. Other newly-elected board members include Bruce Doneff, Pat Johnson, Marc Stuckart and Charlie Francis. Current board members Jim McCornock and Brad Talbert were reelected to new terms. The United Way of the Lowcountry will soon begin the process of reviewing agency applications and will look for volunteers to fill spots on a Community Investment Panel. For more information, please contact the United Way of the Lowcountry’s Beaufort office at 843-982-3040.

Tax board finishes backlog of appeals In October of 2013, a newly formed Beaufort County Tax Equalization Board of 15 citizens from across the county attended their first meeting facing a backlog of approximately 203 appeals from property owners. Six months later that backlog has been eliminated with the Tax Equalization Board scheduled to hear their last appeal Wednesday, May 14, 2014. “I would like to thank Mr.

Hughes and his staff for the work and coordination with me and Mrs. McGowan,” said Beaufort County Tax Equalization Board Chairman Bob Cummins.“His staff was a great help to us in working through the new process to set up the conferences and provide the board with the material necessary for us to discharge our duties and responsibilities as directed by Beaufort County Council and South Carolina state statutes. Also of tremendous help

was Mr. Josh Gruber, county attorney, and his staff for their legal advice.” In February of 2013, conferences with Beaufort County taxpayers were suspended due to administrative staffing changes of the prior Board. County officials sought to improve the efficiency of the appeal process and solicited new members to serve on the Tax Equalization Board to increase the total number of Board members from seven to 15.

news news briefS Capital Project Sales Tax Commission meets

In February, Beaufort County Council voted unanimously to form a Capital Project Sales Tax Commission. The sixmember commission, along with Beaufort County residents’ input, will compile a list of Capital Improvement Projects that need to be completed throughout the county. After the initial meeting, several public hearings will be scheduled, allowing the public to weigh in on what projects they believe are necessary.

Once the list of projects is compiled, an ordinance will be drafted and sent to County Council, and if adopted, will appear on the November ballot. The appointed members are Mike Covert of Bluffton, Craig Forrest of Sun City, Scott Graber of Port Royal, Scott Richardson of Hilton Head Island, Jeffery Robinowich of Bluffton and Bill Robinson of Beaufort. The first meeting for the Capital Project Sales Tax Commission was April 10, at 5 p.m. in Beaufort County Council Chambers, 100 Ribaut Road in Beaufort.

Sheriff’s Office promotions The Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office wishes to congratulate the following personnel in recognition of their achievement and dedication.

More county records will be available online

Citizens of Beaufort County want to know how their tax dollars are being spent. That’s why Beaufort County Government will soon be expanding how the public can view financial documents online. Various financial data are already available on the Finance Departments website. There, taxpayers can find the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR), vendor payments, overall budgets for each department and more.

However, with this new data bank, taxpayers will now have a centralized location where all financial data is readily available and easy to maneuver through. Tabs will be labeled, providing an overview or allowing taxpayers to see much more detailed information on both an expenditure and revenue basis. Interactive charts and graphs will also be available for citizens to understand the financial data they are viewing. The link to these financial documents is expected to appear online at www.bcgov. net by the end of April.

Return to nature to find your nature By Jennifer Ross

Although Thursdays may not typically be the most common time for fun get-togethers, a couple of weeks ago this Ross household actually had two opportunities present themselves. First, Jennifer Ross “Body” decided to have virus come over bringing fever, aches, and chills as courting gifts. Quite a display! Shortly after, Jennifer Ross “Spirit” received an invite out from Nature to go to the beach. However, Jennifer Ross “Body” was throwing such a pity party in the house that the couch seemed pretty enticing. Then it hit me... that I blessedly couldn’t even remember the last time I had been sick, and that this was NOTHING compared to what my daddy wore a happy face through with his cancer. So I grabbed my flipflops (casual date), ditched the party, and headed out the door. It was 10:15 at night, and as I crossed the street to the beach path, the darkness enveloped me like walking into a dimmed theater. As my eyes adjusted, I noticed the moon acting as my usher and lighting the boardwalk leading to my seat. The forgiving sand acts as the perfect cushion beneath me, and the warm balmy breeze off the ocean wraps around me like the gentle arms of a lover. Looking off in the distance, I see a stage crew of four fishing boats lightly illuminating the ocean surface to

Studies show that simply living around a green area promotes health and reduces stress, so being out and immersing yourself in it is icing on the cake. While a trip to the beach is always grand, relaxing on your favorite park bench, strolling down an oak-lined street, or sitting by your local dock to smell the marsh will all do the trick. set the tone. The serenade of crickets in the dunes behind me, and the crashing waves ahead supply the most beautiful surround sound symphony. Then as I looked up, the few clouds in the sky parted like a curtain to reveal a canopy of brilliant twinkling lights — the stars of the show. The salt in the air, combined with the salt in my tears of gratitude, washed away any aches and pains in both body and spirit, causing me to hop up and give a standing ovation to the universe: Laughing and clapping, what a show! Before I turned to leave, the white tip of the tide rushed up to kiss my toes goodbye — every date should be so good. Now, I’m a fairly recent addition to the Lowcountry, so it’s very easy for me to be in awe of the style of beauty here that

wasn’t readily available in Cincinnati, Ohio. However, Nature calls to you no matter where you may be, in its own unique way. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy a good glass of vino like the next person, and it’s not like I’ve never comforted my woes with a pint of gelato (Haagen Dazs Peanut Butter Pie? Oh yes!) or a plate of nachos (with guac please). But these days I relish in those things for simple enjoyment and allow the offer of healing from Nature to soothe my inner aches and angst. It doesn’t take a grandiose show like I attended for Nature to cure what ails you. Studies show that simply living around a green area promotes health and reduces stress, so being out and immersing yourself in it is icing on the cake. And with this oasis we all are

The Disciplined Pursuit of Less By Hall Sumner

Greg McKeown’s “The Disciplined Pursuit of Less” in the Harvard Business Review is thought-provoking on so many levels. The article must be read in full to really appreciate his point, but the concluding paragraph is a nice summary: “If success is a catalyst for failure because it leads to the “undisciplined pursuit of more,” then one simple antidote is the disciplined pursuit of less. Not just haphazardly saying no, but purposefully, deliberately, and strategically eliminating the nonessentials. Not just once a year as part of a planning meeting, but constantly reducing, focusing and simplifying. Not just getting rid of the obvious time wasters, but being willing to cut out really terrific opportunities as well. Few appear to have the courage to live this principle, which may be why it differentiates successful people and organizations from the very successful ones.” While this principle can be applied to nearly every aspect of our lives, it has a clear application to portfolio construction and financial planning. Some variation of the following story is common: An individual succeeds at earning a high income. Either on his own or with the help of a financial advisor, investments are made. The years pass. Additional investments are made. Money with a money manager here, a group of mutual funds there, positions in some individual stocks here... Pretty

soon, this person has become a collectoras opposed to an investor. In the collector scenario, it is just possible that everything works out okay. Perhaps there Hall Sumner will be big enough winners in the mix to cover any losers. However, it is possible that some of those investments were ill-conceived and will be a major drag on the overall portfolio over time — all while not being carefully watched. Contrast that approach with the investor who purposely employs an asset allocation with more limited, but thoroughly researched investment strategies (we have written many times before about the rationale for mixing relative strength, value, and low volatility strategies). It is quite possible that this more disciplined investor will be able to earn greater returns and amass greater wealth over time than the collector and still retain the benefits of diversification. No realistic person has the expectation of a perpetual state of success. Setbacks are just part of life and investing. However, the investor who purposefully, deliberately, and strategically eliminates the nonessentials and focuses their resources on the areas where they are likely to achieve the greatest rewards has taken a big step towards putting the odds in their favor.

Ninth annual JSLB’s BBQ & Buoys was a hit By Lanier Laney

he Junior Service League of Beaufort does so many wonderful things to support women and children in the area. Last weekend their fun annual fundraiser, held at The Shed in Port Royal, brought a lot of good people together for a good cause. Food was provided by Q on Bay, with live music by Blackbeard’s Truck, from Columbia. The Shed was transformed into a nautical theme complete with a life jacket wall and a sailboat-inspired silent auction table. Anna Schaffer did a great job as chairperson this year, and she worked with some wonderful committee heads to put this event together. Big thanks goes to Kate Brobston, Rachel Damgen, Lindsay Gifford, Danielle Pinon, Amy Lane, Delene Miller, Amanda Jones, Charlotte Law, Janessa Lowery and Fripp Langford. Ashley Rhodes provided a huge service as well in the layout and decor of The Shed building. Kristin Dubrowski, JSLB’s treasurer, was also a major asset in the planning of the event. The JSLB president this year is Julie Good. Kudos to Beaufort Memorial Hospital for taking on the role of Presenting Sponsor, along with co-sponsors Coastal Carolina Hospital, The Preserve at Port Royal and the Town of Port Royal. For more information on how to join this great organization or to donate to their good causes, go to www.juniorserviceleagueofbeaufort.org.

Beautiful Beaufort in April By Lanier Laney

I’m sure you noticed, like I did, how spectacularly beautiful Beaufort was last week with all the azaleas, wisteria, dogwoods, pittsporum and even roses in bloom. During that 10 day window from about April 2 to 11 each year, Beaufort has to be one of the most beautiful places on the planet. It’s truly magical (and few bugs to boot!). When I first moved here, I had a neighbor who would tell me: “I have the most beautiful garden you’ve ever seen.” But when I passed her house for the next nine months, all I saw was a yard full of blobby green bushes with nary a flower in sight. I couldn’t figure out what she was talking about. Then April came. Every blobby bush in her yard suddenly exploded into a living firework display of dazzling color with seemingly millions of dancing blossoms in the breeze. I took my hat off to her; she was right.

For Beaufort High Voices, the tradition continues By Olivia Durbin

The 2013-2014 school year marks the ten-year anniversary of the Beaufort High School Voices choral program. Begun by director Victor Varner in 2003, this program has developed into a national award-winning group. Students involved in the Voices program participate in both a winter and spring concert each year, fundraise for local and national competitions, and audition for the South Carolina All State Choir. When asked about their experiences in the program, former students of Mr. Varner commented on the importance it had on their high school careers. “Diversity. We brought in all walks of life: football players, introverts, impoverished people, and made a family,” said Thomas Huskey, class of 2007. “(There was) friendship and a feeling of belonging to something excellent with great people,” said Jake Parker, class of 2007. When Mr. Varner retired in 2011, Ms. Jordan Norris took over as director. Under her direction, Voices has won local competitions, as well as first place gold in a national competition in Washington, D.C. For their spring concert, the Voices

will be celebrating the ten-year reunion of the program. The first set of the show will include ten songs — one song chosen from each year over the past decade. The last set will include a medley from the Broadway musical “Little Shop of Horrors.” This show will take place on April 30 and May 1 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $7 at the door or $5 with a canned good for donation to HELP of Beaufort. For more information about the Voices booster club, contact Jordan Norris at BHSVoices@gmail.com.

An in-depth look at the people, businesses and organizations that shape our community

second helpings

this hard-working local nonprofit distributes food and assists those unable to put food on the table across beaufort county By Lanier Laney Since 1992, Second Helpings — a nonprofit charitable food distribution project — has been committed to fighting hunger in Beaufort County. The recognizable trucks are on the roads seven days a week, rescuing food that would have been discarded from area grocery stores and redistributing it to area agencies and churches that serves the disadvantaged countywide. Last year, Second Helpings was designated a “Charity Angel” by the SC Secretary of State. The group dedicates at least 80 percent of the money raised toward their core mission of rescuing food; very few charities can say that. In December, Maureen Korzik became the executive director of Second Helpings, and she is working hard to continue the great work already accomplished by the organization, in addition to updating their technology and getting the word out about the important role the group plays in the community. A self-described “Jersey girl,” Maureen said, “I oversee the day to day operations of Second Helping. That means I do whatever needs being done — manager, fundraiser, agency relations, marketing and chief bottle washer.” Maureen loves the ever-changing challenges of the job. “My first week of work, we got a call from Walmart telling us they needed us to pick up five pallets of bananas by the next day!,” she recalled. “Or this past December, Publix called on a Thursday at 5 p.m. and said they had a tractor trailer worth of food from their Christmas food drive (about 16,000 pounds) we needed to pick up by the next day. Our volunteers did it!”

to get involved • If interested in helping Second Helpings, please contact them at 843-684-0532 or visit www. secondhelpingslc.org. • If you know of a family that may be hungry, please contact one of the following distributing organizations: Our Lady’s Pantry, The Franciscan Center, Community Bible Church, and HELP of Beaufort.

Second Helpings Executive Director Maureen Korzik stands with Beaufort Coordinator Cesar Garcia in front of one their delivery trucks.

Maureen has been happily married for 28 years to her husband Tom, who worked for Bank of America for 21 years in Charlotte and is now a CPA. She’s the proud mom of Andy, 27, and Pete, 22. Says Maureen, “We moved here from Charlotte because we wanted to be near the ocean. We grew up going to the Jersey shore every summer. Beaufort is a wonderful town with its waterfront views, friendly people and history. It reminds me of the town I grew up in.” Before coming to Beaufort, Maureen worked as an executive director of Matthews Free Health Clinic in Matthews, N.C., in its formative years. She served on other nonprofit boards, volunteered at her church as a faith formation teacher, did PTA, was a class mom, Cub Scout leader and started a woman’s group called Common Cents that focused on financial literacy for women. Maureen says, “I have always been very fortunate in all my endeavors. At the end of the day, it’s not about what you get but what you give that makes a fulfilling life.”

She adds, “Second Helpings is a great organization and I’m proud to be a part of it. We are so grateful to have Cesar Garcia, our Beaufort coordinator, and his army of volunteers. They go out seven days a week rescuing food so that others will have something to eat. They rescued over 1.3 million pounds of food last year in Beaufort. They are a dedicated bunch and we love them.” Beaufort Coordinator Cesar Garcia has been involved with Second Helpings for 10 years. He said, “We rescue unwanted food and serve the community. We believe that no person in our community should have to worry about whether or not they will have enough food to eat today. We fight hunger in a big way. We rescue good, unwanted food, and give it to groups closest in touch with those who need it most. To date, we have rescued over 25 million pounds of food since 1992 and delivered it to over 65 agencies.” Cesar said the greatest help comes from the supermarkets they deal with such as Bi-Lo, Food-Lion, Publix, Walmart,

and other food vendors. “Because of their generous food donations, we are able to provide food to thousands of people in Northern Beaufort County,” he said. There are 83 big-hearted volunteers who come from Beaufort, Dataw, Cat Island, Lady’s Island and Brays Island. Adds Cesar, “Most of our volunteers, after working hard all their lives, are now retired. They want to give back to the community by helping in this project. It’s a great feeling to see so much food being distributed, that if not for Second Helpings would have been thrown out. Just knowing you are helping those in need is rewarding enough, and many of our volunteers are comforted by this act of kindness”. As for the future, Cesar says,“We would like to generate more support and funding from the community. Awareness is the key, and our goals are to heighten public awareness of the needs of the hungry here in Beaufort, and the significant role Second Helpings plays in food distribution and feeding the hungry. We are always in need of new volunteers, and welcome anyone willing to donate their time and be part of the team.”

Battery Creek pitchers Aaron Brantley and Jordan Ratliff combined to throw a no-hitter as the Dolphins defeated Burke 16-0 in three innings.

arts&entertainment ‘Macbeth’ to open at USCB on Shakespeare’s birthday Shakespeare Rep, in partnership with the University of South Carolina Beaufort, will present William Shakespeare’s Macbeth April 23-26 at the USCB Center for the Arts. The play is being produced by Jeff Evans, founder of Lowcountry Shakespeare, and directed by Debra Charlton, founder and artistic director of Shakespeare Rep. Debra Charlton, new to the Beaufort area, holds a doctorate from the University of Texas at Austin, where she pursued specialties in Shakespearean

performance, production and pedagogy. She completed additional graduate work at the Centre for Medieval and Renaissance Studies in Oxford, England. Charlton chose Macbeth as Shakespeare Rep’s debut production because it’s one of her favorite plays and one of Shakespeare’s most accessible. It also happens to be one of his shortest, and Charlton says she’s employed additional editing “to make sure the story really moves.” Charlton says working with Shakespeare is like peeling

an onion. “Layer upon layer of new discovery. Always fresh and exciting.” Taking on the role of Macbeth is Santiago Sosa, who has traveled to Santiago Beaufort from his Sosa home in Chicago for Shakespeare Rep’s premiere production. Sosa is a professional actor with an MFA in

theatre and countless Shakespearean roles to his credit. His costar Erin Dailey is a Julliard-trained Beaufort resident — currently a student at USCB — who’s also done plenty of Shakespeare. Performances will be Wednesday, April 23 through Saturday, April 26, at 7:30 p.m. A reception celebrating Shakespeare’s 450th birthday will follow the opening performance on Wednesday. For tickets, call the USCB box office at 521-4145 or visit www. uscbcenterforthearts.com.

The epic research project Jenison embarks on to test his theory is as extraordinary as what he discovers. Spanning eight years, Jenison’s

wine

Stay golden with Terra d’Oro Pinot Grigio By Celia Strong

When it comes to describing this week’s featured wine, the expression “golden” comes to mind. The taste of this white wine can be described as golden, and its name, Terra d’Oro, means “Land of Gold.” So, let us go step by step, learn about the history of the grapes and the geography of the winery, and then we can appreciate our new, golden wine. California is our source this week. (Nice, because I was just there last week, actually, close to our wine’s source.) A fun new tidbit of information? If California was a country, all by itself without the rest of us, it would be the fourth largest wine-producing country in the world. As a state, they produce 90 percent of our country’s wine. There are more than 1,200 wineries in California, including the largest of all in the world — E&J Gallo Winery. California was the first state to introduce “vitis vinifera” grapes. In the 18th century, the Spanish came north from Mexico and established missions and planted grapes at each mission. Their wines were used for religious sacraments and for daily drinking. The main grape they used came from Mexico, a descendent of the “common black grape,” that had been brought to the New World by Cortés in 1520. This grape was known as the Mission grape, because of all its plantings at all their missions, and was the dominant grape in California vineyards until the 20th century. The first commercial winery in Napa County was opened in 1859. Today, over 100 grape varieties are grown in California — French, Italian, Spanish varieties, hybrids, and new “vitis vinifera” grapes developed by the University of California at Davis. The seven leading varieties, in order of most grown to less grown, are Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, Syrah and Zinfandel. Until the late 1980’s, the Bordeaux red varieties (mostly Cabernet and Merlot) and Chardonnay dominated in the vineyards. But consumers’ boredom and winemakers with urges to expand their horizons brought all kinds of new grapes and new blends. And, I think, we have tried our

best to explore many of them. Today, we are going to continue our explorations with Pinot Grigio from Santa Barbara, which is one of the most beautiful winemaking regions in California. Santa Barbara is located about 90 miles north of Los Angeles and has wine areas that range from valleys cooled by ocean breezes to stark mountains. There are unique microclimates (some areas have very warm days and cool nights, others have more moderate temperatures with mild differences between day and night temperatures) and a variety of terrains (soil types vary from ancient beach sands and diatomaceous earth to chirt and limestone based) all of which mean it’s possible to make great wines from a multitude of different varieties. The whole area is still learning which grapes grow best where. Pinot Grigio, or Pinot Gris as our grape for this week is called in some other growing regions, is one of the most popular white varieties in the world today. It is a member of the “Pinot” family of grapes, so named because their bunches are sort of pine cone shaped and the name “pinot” comes from the French word for “pine cone.” Pinot Grigio is probably a mutant of the Pinot Noir grape. It has been around since the Middle Ages when it was in Burgundy. Supposedly, it was a favorite of Emperor Charles IV who had cuttings of it brought to Hungary by Cistercian monks. There it was called “Szürkebarát” or “grey monk,” referring to its skin’s color. In 1711, a German merchant, Johann Ruland, discovered a grape growing wild in fields in Palatinate. His wines were called “Ruländer” though his vines were later discovered to be Pinot Gris. Until the 18th and 19th centuries, this variety was popular in Burgundy and Champagne.

“You can bank from the comfort of your home.”

Terra d’Oro Pinot Grigio is from Santa Barbara, California.

But, it did not really grow well there and became less popular. The 20th century, and science, led to research, more clonal development and grapes that produced more consistent and reliable harvests. It was researchers at the University of California at Davis who learned the genetic makeup of Pinot Gris was related to Pinot Noir. Since about 2005, Pinot Gris/Grigio has experienced a huge rise in popularity. Wines made from this grape have a range of styles, depending on where they are grown and winemaking techniques. From Alsace, France, its wines are medium to full bodied with some floral bouquet and hints of spiciness. German Pinot Gris are more full-bodied with acidity and a touch of sweetness. From Oregon, the white wines are mediumbodied with apple, pear or melon notes. Italian Pinot Grigios are lighter bodied with some hints of spritziness. California Pinot Grigios, finally, are light bodied lean wines with mineral, pepper and green leaf and herb notes. Often, as is the style in California, these wines can be given some oak treatment, either fermenting or aging. There are about 2,000 acres of Pinot Grigios planted in California today.

For our Pinot Grigio, from Santa Barbara, we are going to Terra d’Oro, which means “Land of Gold” in Italian. Terra d’Oro winery is based in Amador County in the Santa Barbara region. It was in this area that during the Gold Rush pioneers found riches in the soil, soil that still gives riches, except this time in the form of wine. The first Terra d’Oro wines were released in 1973, under the Montevina label. They were the first Amador County winery to produce wine since before Prohibition. They now have 400 acres of estate vineyards from which their get their grapes. At Terra d’Oro, the winemaking staff feels that this area is really well suited to Pinot Grigio. A combination of welldrained valley vineyards and hillside trellised vineyards that stress the vines bring intense varietal flavors to the grapes. Like other Pinot family grapes, Pinot Grigio needs a long growing season, made possible by the cooling ocean breezes, to ripen properly, to develop its flavors and to maintain a balance between its acidity and fruitiness. The grapes for our wine are handpicked, early in the morning to ensure cooler temperatures for their ride to winery. As soon as they get to the winery, the grapes are sent to the presses. They are very gently pressed to avoid any excessive acidities and tartness coming from the skins, and the juice then goes into stainless steel fermenters. Fermentation is done at very low temperatures to maximize the wine’s clean, bright fruit flavors. The 2012 vintage in Santa Barbara was a long, sunny growing season. There were normal rainfalls during the winter, minimal frost and mild winds during bloom time. Warm temperatures started in the middle of July and lasted until early October. There was a large harvest with very intense flavors in the grapes. Our 2012 Terra d’Oro Pinot Grigio has a nose of bright pears and clover flowers with full, juicy pear and stone fruit flavors, including peaches and nectarines. The finish is slightly vanilla oaky with more juicy fruits. This terrific wine is even more terrific for $9.97. Golden! Enjoy.

We are now floating in the sea change where dogs, in earlier centuries regarded as pests or property, later to become helpmates and co-workers, are now not even companions and friends. Now, they are family. And as family, they are often taking on more responsibilities than most of your run-of-the mill two-legged people. Assistance animals treat high blood pressure, provide diabetic monitoring, detect cancers and make enormous contributions to the management of autism. Canine warriors lay down their lives on the battlefield and in inner city combat zones. When they cuddle on the couch with us in the evenings, they fill in the emotional gaps in our increasingly technological world. As any of us who has agreed to the contract of dog ownership knows, the dog in our house IS part of the family and is most likely, much more loveable and enjoyable than some of their human counterparts. But can we can so far as to think of them as fur-covered people? Sure. After training dozens of dogs to lie still in MRI machines and scanning their brains in active reaction to various stimuli, neuroeconomics professor Gregory Burns goes so far as to come to the conclusion that “dogs are people, too.” Unlike behavioral analyses, Burns’s work provides actual neurological evidence

that dogs experience consciousness and emotions at a level comparable to humans. He did so after training dogs (with the help of Mark Spivak) for months to be comfortable inside MRI scanners — and having them wear earmuffs to protect their sensitive hearing from the 95 decibels of noise the scanner makes. That a dog would consent to a scan without the whingeing, complaining and anxieties made by people in MRI machines, is testimony enough for me. After analyzing the scans, Burns was struck by the similarity between dogs and humans in both the structure and function of a key brain region called the caudate nucleus. Without getting too technical, the caudate is that area of the brain that flashes when we experience the anticipation of things we enjoy — like food, music or beauty. Specific parts of the caudate stand out for their consistent activation to many things that humans enjoy. Caudate activation is so consistent

that under the right circumstances, it can predict our preferences. In dogs, the caudate flashes in response to food (well, yes), the scent of familiar humans as well as shows a reaction when the beloved human momentarily steps out of view, among others. Many of the same things that activate the human caudate also activate the dog caudate. Neuroscientists call this a functional homology, and it appears to be an indication of canine emotions. The ability to experience positive emotions, like love and attachment, means that dogs have a level of sentience comparable to that of a human child. And this ability suggests a rethinking of how we treat we treat the smallest family member and generally, dogs at large. For most of civilized time, dogs

were considered property, like rakes and washing machines. Though the Animal Welfare Act of 1966 and state laws raised the bar for the treatment of animals, it solidified the view that animals are things—objects that can be disposed of as long as reasonable care is taken to minimize their suffering. But now, by using the MRI results, we can no longer hide from the evidence. Dogs have emotions just like us. And this means we must reconsider their treatment as property. Certainly, we need to minimize any suffering but also consider a sort of limited “personhood” for any animal that exhibits neurobiological evidence of positive emotions. Society is many years away from considering dogs as persons. However, recent rulings by the Supreme Court have included neuroscientific findings that open the door to such a possibility. “We can no longer hide from the evidence,” says Burns. By granting them this personhood status, it would work to prevent puppy mills, laboratory dogs, and dog racing. Perhaps, we might be able to eradicate the misery of chained dogs and dog fighting prevalent in our town.

Volunteers can help build local oyster reefs

• South Carolina Department of Natural Resource’s SCORE program is holding local opportunities to volunteer to build oyster reef. The events will be Saturday, April 26, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Section 5 of the Spanish Moss Trail, Beaufort. And also Saturday, April 26, 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Brickyard Landing, Lady’s Island.

They will provide gloves, sunscreen, bug spray, and water, but volunteers can be eco-friendly and bring a refillable bottle. To join any of these events, please RSVP by email at score@dnr.gov. • Coastal Conservation Association (CCA), SC’s Topwater Action Campaign and SCDNR’s SCORE program need help with the Beaufort County Oyster Reef Habitat Build on Thursday, May 15, from 2 to 5 p.m. They will depart from Whitehall Landing on Lady’s Island. The build and restoration part of the SCORE program works with local citizen groups to conduct actual habitat restoration projects and to monitor the success of those efforts. Projects involved building new reefs with recycled shells for recruitment of oyster larvae. As these pilot reefs begin to recruit new oysters and attract other critters of the estuary, they are being used as living classrooms and research platforms. Volunteer citizens are critical to monitoring the new reefs throughout the year to increase our understanding of how best to restore oyster habitats. To volunteer or for more information, contact CCA SC by calling 803-865-4164 or email hsmith@ ccasouthcarolina.com.
