Coastal Carolina Hospital announces new women’s unit Coastal Carolina Hospital is proud to announce that it is launching a new obstetrics and gynecology program in the spring of 2014 by expanding the hospital’s women’s health services and preparing to deliver newborns in Hardeeville for the first time in eight years. The new unit will feature 16 beds and the latest equipment and enhancements for the care of mothers and their newborns. It will be housed in existing space and will not require the hospital to add additional beds. Coastal Carolina Hospital expects to create approximately 45 new jobs for nurses and other quality healthcare professionals. Bradley S. Talbert, FACHE, CEO of Coastal Carolina Hospital, said the new women’s unit will greatly enhance the hospital’s growing reputation, benefiting the communities it serves. “We will have the capacity to deliver and care for more than 1,000 newborns a year and, like expectant parents, we are working diligently to get ready and are eagerly anticipating their arrival.” “ This program will not only benefit mothers, but women who may be seeking specialized GYN care,” Talbert said. “We will have a core group of physicians who
can assess and treat their specific health problems. We plan to have a comprehensive women’s unit that offers a wide range of services to treat the women and newborns in our community. ” Six seasoned Beaufort- and Bluffton-based physicians and two midwives with more than 100 years of combined experience have also announced that they will be consolidating their two independent practices into one group this fall, Riverside Women’s Care, and joining the medical staff at Coastal Carolina Hospital. The six OB/GYNs and two midwives joining the hospital are: • Jo Ann Csakany, MD • Ardra Davis-Tolbert, MD
• Meredith Mitchell, MD • Lynn Norton, MD • Randy Royal, MD • Glenn Werner, MD • Donna Andrews, CNM, Certified Nurse Midwife • Elizabeth Durant, CNM, Certified Nurse Midwife In addition to being able to provide services as part of the Coastal Carolina Hospital medical staff, these physicians will continue to provide ambulatory services to patients at their existing office locations in Beaufort and Bluffton. Talbert said with this expansion of services for women, the hospital expects other doctors to join the medical staff and provide services. For instance, he said, physicians from
Palmetto Pediatrics in Bluffton and Hilton Head Island have expressed an interest in joining the staff to care for newborns here at Coastal. “We are proud to launch this exciting, new OB/GYN program,” said Mark O’Neil, President and CEO of Hilton Head Regional Healthcare, which includes Hilton Head Hospital, Coastal Carolina Hospital and the BlufftonOkatie Outpatient Center. “ This investment will be a significant addition to our network of medical services. Additionally, this move will complement our existing OB/GYN services at Hilton Head Hospital and enable us to expand our reach of medical services throughout the Lowcountry.”
ABOUT COASTAL CAROLINA HOSPITAL Coastal Carolina Hospital is a 41-bed acute care hospital located at the intersection of Interstate 95 and Hwy. 278 in Hardeeville, S. C. The hospital has been serving the medical and health care needs of Jasper and Beaufort counties since November 2004.

Finding the perfect bite
Most headaches are caused by poor alignment of the teeth and jaw.
Stephen W. Durham, DMD, practices at Durham Dental at Town Center in Beaufort.
By Dr. Stephen Durham
Chances are you don’t know you have it. More than one in every three people suffers from it. Poor alignment of the teeth and jaw causes problems that go far beyond the bite. Headaches, neck pain, numbness, dizziness, ringing in the ears – so many symptoms in fact that this disorder is called “the great pretender.” Since studies suggest that over 92% of persistent headaches come from this misalignment, called TMD, we are dedicated to getting to the bottom of it. To fix it we look beyond the jaw, to the muscles. The muscles that pull the jaw shut are anchored throughout the neck and skull. The path those muscles take is the key ingredient in both the cause and cure of TMD. Getting the muscles to behave properly
is how we do it. In most cases a person has been biting that way all their life – since their permanent teeth first came in. They’ve gotten used to it. So How Do We See What’s Wrong? We use a measuring technique called EMG (electromyogram) that shows exactly how each muscle is firing. It’s based on the same technology doctors use to make an EKG. With this graph the path of the bite becomes clear. We also make a scan called a CMS, and together these two tests show us how the muscles are working – 3D and in real time. With that picture of how it’s working now, we can design a muscle path that will give a more harmonious alignment. Making Those Muscles Happy For A Change Next we record a model that shows your ideal bite, and we sculpt a comfortable orthotic – a guide that will bring the jaw to the right alignment. We fit that guide and fine-tune it to your ideal bite. Treatment for TMD is highly successful, but the first step is being aware that you have it. At our practice we make that as easy as possible because of all the good that begins with bringing it to light.

An in-depth look at the people, businesses and organizations that shape our community
A new leader for Beaufort County Schools
Getting to know Dr. Jeffrey Moss By Carson Moore
This upcoming school year, as kids are headed back to school, the Beaufort County School District will be welcoming a new face as well-Superintendent Dr. Jeffrey Moss. Having moved to Beaufort from his home in Lee County, North Carolina, Moss is excited by the opportunity to breathe some life into his new school district. He began teaching in 1983, when he graduated from the University of North Carolina in Pembroke with a degree in accounting. “At first, I thought I was going to become a CPA and open my own business,” Moss explains. “But I started teaching, and I haven’t looked back since.” Moss went on to earn his doctorate in educational administration from South Carolina State University and began working as a superintendent fourteen years ago. Luckily for Beaufort County, Moss’s experience has given him the distinct skill set needed to set the county’s public schools apart. With a strong emphasis on the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) program, Moss plans to revitalize the way education is viewed in Beaufort. “We’ve started down the road of using technology to affect classroom instruction,” Moss explains. “We’ll continue to introduce those digital devices at every level, because they help level the playing field, and provide the same opportunities to all kids. This way, you may not have a rich reading environment at home, but you can get books, newspapers, magazines-anything you want off a tablet or device.” In addition to introducing more technology into the classroom, Moss will also be improving upon already existing programs within the school- including the Battery Creek High School aeronautics program, where students have the opportunity to disassemble and rebuild a CESSNA aircraft. “We’re going to build upon these experiences, and create some focal points,” Moss says. “If your interest lies in engineering, we’re going to ensure you get the science and mathematics courses that you need to be successful
as an engineer. Whatever your desire is, we want to make sure you have the proper foundation to ensure you will be successful at the next level.” Moss will also assist in redistricting and plans on attempting to solve the overcrowding problems that plague the county’s schools. “With the growth that we’re experiencing in Bluffton and Hilton Head, this will be an important issue we’re going to have to face,” he says. “It could start to fix a lot of things.” Moss’s credentials seem to prove that his advice shouldn’t be taken for granted. For example, the last district in which he was superintendent saw a 19% rise in graduation rates over the five-year period in which he was present. “When I started there, there was a 67% graduation rate,” Moss says. “By the time I left, we had gotten it up to 86%.” According to the school district, the current Beaufort County graduation rate is around 75%, and Moss plans to raise it much higher, in order to successfully compete
with home schools, charter schools, and private schools in the area. “Competition is really good,” Moss declares. “It challenges us [the school district] to build an environment where parents choose us first. We have to make sure that what the public schools are providing is first of all, what they want, and second, meeting the needs of our community, our state and our nation.” In order to better understand the community that he’s serving, Moss will be adopting a campaign of extensive community outreach. “The best thing about being a superintendent is getting the community involved,” he says. “People get energized, and excited about expanding the future of their schools, and that’s a great thing to see.” Moss plans to get involved in a number of civic organizations and will often be available for speaking engagements. In addition to these events, Moss also plans to begin a series of town forums. During these forums, which will occur in each of the five high school clusters across the county, Moss will speak on important issues facing the school district, and then open the forums to community members. “It’s their opportunity to put me on the spot, so to speak,” he chuckles. While interacting with the community may be the best part of the job, there is a distinct struggle involved as well. Each school district, whether it has two schools or twenty, is comprised of people that create the district’s own unique history. “You don’t want to go down a road that others have gone down and failed, particularly if they failed for certain reasons,” Moss acknowledges.“It takes time to learn all the people, and determine how they interact with each other in the system.” During the upcoming school year, Moss plans to make himself available and well known to the communities he’ll be serving. “I’m planning on attending almost all the sporting events,” he says. “At least all the ones I can, and at least one of each of our high schools’ games.”

New reading program gains success in local schools United Way Of The Lowcountry’s Early Grade Reading program is helping students earn higher scores on tests.
A
ccording to results just released, students in five Beaufort County schools and two Jasper County schools participating in the United Way of the Lowcountry’s Early Grade Reading Program saw increases in the reading portion of their MAP test scores. “These scores are indicative of the hard work put into this program by our volunteers and tutors, and we’re proud of the success of this program in its first year,” said Chris McCorkendale, United Way Board Chairman. A total of 154 students in St. Helena Elementary, Joseph Shanklin Elementary, Hilton Head Early Childhood Center, Hilton Head School for the Creative Arts, Pritchardville Elementary, Hardeeville
Elementary, and Ridgeland Elementary participated in the Early Grade Reading initiative during the course of the school year. Both Beaufort and Jasper County schools use MAP testing as way to assess core reading knowledge in elementary students. A full 97% of Beaufort County students and 98% of Jasper County students participating in the tutoring program raised their test scores by the end of the year. “The Early Grades Reading program is a vital part of our Early Childhood Department,” said Dr. La’Toya ThomasDixon, Director of Elementary Education, Gifted Services and ESOL Learning with the Jasper County School District. “Ongoing weekly tutoring for students with academic challenges is most successful when
volunteers or tutors are consistent and caring, and United Way volunteers were consistent and caring above and beyond the call of duty. Great things are happening with our students and we are very thankful for United Way for creating this ongoing partnership.” Officials with the Beaufort County School District also highly recommended the continuation of the Early Grade Reading program, stating “it is apparent that the United Way tutors are desperately needed in our most needy schools” in a report. “The United Way of the Lowcountry is committed to continuing our Early Grade Reading initiative,” said United Way of the Lowcountry Executive Director Tina Gentry. “We are looking forward to another year of collaboration and
partnership with both school districts and ensuring success for the students we serve.” The Early Grade Reading program was started in 2012 by United Way of the Lowcountry as an education initiative that aligned with a United Way Worldwide emphasis on becoming a community impact organization. One of the goals of the program is to increase to 80% the number of students reading on grade level upon entering 4th grade in both counties by enlisting 600 volunteer tutors, mentors and readers for the program. The United Way of the Lowcountry’s Early Grade Reading Program employs curriculum approved by the South Carolina Department of Education and used approximately 200 volunteer tutors in 2012.

Top-notch teachers School district surprises five teachers named as Teacher of the Year finalists. The Beaufort County School District surprised five classroom teachers recently with the news that they had been selected as finalists for its 2013-14 District Teacher of the Year recognition. The 2013-14 finalists are Emalee Baker, a kindergarten teacher at Red Cedar Elementary School; Vicki Cathcart, a science teacher at Whale Branch Middle School; Kristen Karszes, an English Language Arts teacher at Hilton Head Island High School; Tonya Simmons, a Career and Technology Education teacher at Battery Creek High School; and Eve Weaver, a second-grade teacher at St. Helena Elementary School. “ The secret to a school’s success is not really much of a secret,” said Superintendent Jeff Moss, who made the announcements in person. “It’s having a solid corps of bright, capable, dedicated and hard-working classroom teachers. Our five finalists for District Teacher of the Year are terrific examples of the kinds of top-quality professionals that we want to see in every classroom in Beaufort County.” Becoming District Teacher of the Year is a three-step process that begins when school-level teachers of the year are selected in April. Those wishing to compete for District Teacher of the
Year submit detailed applications by the end of July. In the second step, a selection committee consisting of parents, former educators and community leaders from across Beaufort County reviews the applications and rates them using a numerical scoring system. The five highest-scoring applicants are named as finalists. In the third step, the finalists are interviewed by a separate review committee again composed of judges from across the county. Those panelists begin by reviewing a video of the teacher doing a classroom lesson. The judges then score candidates based on how well they respond to questions about their teaching methods as shown in the video, as well as how they respond to questions about current education issues. After those interviews, the panel selects the District Teacher of the Year in September, and that person represents Beaufort County in the South Carolina State Teacher of the Year program. The 2013-14 District Teacher of the Year will be announced on Sept. 20. The current Teacher of the Year is Erin Reichert, a social studies teacher from Bluffton High School.
USCB names Alexis Bennett women’s golf coach The University of South Carolina Beaufort has named former Southern Methodist University golfer and current professional player Alexis Bennett as its women’s golf coach, the school announced last week. Bennett replaces Lindy LaBauve, who resigned in May after two seasons to accept a position as a teaching apprentice at the Lodge at Sea Island in St. Simon’s, Ga. Like LaBauve, Bennett comes to USCB after a successful playing career at an NCAA Division I program. She was a two-time National Golf Coaches Association All-American Scholar while playing at SMU and has spent the past two years playing professionally on the LPGA Symetra Tour and the Canadian Women’s Tour. She also has experience as an assistant golf coach at Rockford (Ill.) Lutheran High School in her hometown and as assistant program director of TGA Premier Junior Golf in Dallas. “We’re thrilled to add Alexis to the Sand Shark family,” Director of Athletics Quin Monahan said. “During her visit to campus, there was overwhelming agreement that she is a natural fit for our department and will be an excellent coach and mentor for our young women’s golfers.” In addition to her coaching duties,
Bennett will serve as assistant director of athletic marketing, a role in w h i c h Alexis Bennett she will utilize her undergraduate degree in marketing and minor in advertising, which she earned from SMU in May 2011. “I have to thank Mr. Monahan and the search committee for this unbelievable opportunity,” Bennett said. “USCB women’s golf has already experienced tremendous growth and achievement, and I’m honored to have been chosen as coach LaBauve’s successor. I can’t wait to arrive on campus and join the Sand Shark family.” The Sand Sharks return five players from last year’s team that finished third in the Sun Conference Championships and 15th in the NAIA National Championships, including three — senior Kendra Collins, junior Victoria DeGroodt and junior Samantha O’Donnell — who competed at nationals. USCB has qualified for the NAIA National Championships four straight years.
New web-based process for parents to register students Parents in the Beaufort County School District can now fill out most of their children’s school registration materials from home using a new web-based system that became operational today. Using “InfoSnap,” parents can access customized online forms for each student to update student information, provide emergency contact and vital medical information, read and agree to important notifications and sign up for special school services. In the past, parents had to travel to their children’s schools and fill out forms on site. As an added bonus, parents with more than one child in district schools can copy many basic registration materials rather than filling out separate forms for each child. “From the parent’s perspective, it means not having to fill out a bunch of paper forms, checking tiny boxes and crossing out mistakes,” said Superintendent Jeff Moss. “From the school’s perspective, we’re drastically reducing the amount of paperwork and clerical work associated with registration each August.” Parents will receive a unique “Snapcode” for each child enrolled in a district school. Snapcodes will be sent by e-mail this week to the families of 14,000-plus students with registered e-mail accounts. Parents without e-mail accounts can either register at their child’s school or call their school for more information.
Parents will log into the InfoSnap site using the link provided in the e-mail or letter and create an account similar to what they currently do in the district’s “Parent Portal” system. Parents must complete all of the information required before submitting the form, but uncompleted work can be saved and accessed later by logging back into their account. Once the form is submitted, parents will be asked if there is another student to register. Information that is applicable can be copied from the first child’s form to the second child’s. Many parents have already “preregistered” their children for the upcoming school year, said Elaine Morgan, the district’s Director of Data Services. But she said that those parents may still wish to create an InfoSnap account as an easy way to verify the information in their children’s files. School data specialists are currently loading preregistration materials supplied by parents during the summer. Morgan cautioned parents that new students who were registered within the last two weeks may find that all of their information has not yet been entered into the system. Parents will still be required to provide “proof of residence,” either in person at their children’s schools or by submitting the necessary forms to the school by mail.
What is Montessori? E.C. Montessori and Grade School explain their impact on students. The basic idea of Montessori education is that unseen within every child is carried the person the child will become. In order to develop his physical and intellectual powers and personality to the fullest, the child must have a prepared environment from which to learn. Montessori schools are equipped with specialized materials that uniquely meet the children’s needs. It is now understood and accepted that the most significant time for learning is from birth to six. Learning patterns are set during this period for a lifetime. Through purposeful movement, exploration, and discovery in the Montessori classroom the child’s individual
learning needs are met. Montessori classrooms are designed to encompass a three year age span, allowing younger students to learn from older role models and older students to test and reinforce their knowledge by helping their younger classmates. Working in one class for three years, a child is able to develop a strong academic foundation as well as sense of community with her classmates and teachers. E.C. Montessori and Grade School is located at 15 Celadon Drive on Sam’s Point Road. For more information, call (843) 525-1141 or visit www. ecmontessori.com.

lunch bunch Rise and shine...all day long with the all day long breakfast served at
By Kim Gallant
Shoofly Kitchen
Your mother likely told you that, “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.” Shoofly Kitchen on Boundary Street wants to fill you up with a fantastic breakfast all day long. Open Tuesday through Sunday, Shoofly has always served breakfast and lunch, but recently Rosemary (the owner) decided to add in an all-day breakfast menu. Her selection of items makes it impossible to choose just one, so the Lunch Bunch decided to sample several different dishes. We started off with a quiche filled with collard greens, bacon and cheese. It was deliciously filling that we couldn’t imagine ordering more food; but of course we did! Buck ordered the Crabby Benedict, which is a crab cake served over an English muffin and topped with a poached egg and spicy hollandaise sauce. Oh my goodness is was amazing, and yes quite spicy. William, our 16 year old guest lunch buncher, has quite the appetite. He ordered the country scramble with grits and could hardly finish it all. This generous plate includes potatoes, sausage, eggs and cheddar cheese all scrambled together and then topped with cream gravy. A hungry man’s dream c ome true. As much as I love Rosemary’s breakfasts, I had to go with my old standby, the turkey sandwich with apple chutney, cheddar
cheese and bacon served on sourdough. I am a creature of habit and have to eat it every time I go. The chicken salad is also one of my favorites, so I ordered one of
those as well for us all to share. Needless to say, there wasn’t a hungry person in the bunch when we finished our feast. It is not possible to leave Shoofly Kitchen
without having dessert, so we opted for the chocolate chip brownies and the Grasshopper. Both are bite sized and a must have. Be sure to visit Shoofly Kitchen located at 1209 Boundary Street and tell Rosemary that the Lunch Bunch sent you. She is open Tuesday- Sunday for breakfast and lunch. We promise you will not l eave hungry!
Clockwise from above: Country scramble with grits; turkey sandwich with apple chutney, cheddar cheese and bacon served on sourdough; chocolate chip brownies and the Grasshopper.

wine
Here we go, in the bag again By Celia Strong
More precisely, here we go again with our brown bags. And the wines in them. As we’ve talked about once or twice before, with my group of friends who get together, mostly once a month, to taste. Every year we do our schedule of what we’re going to taste. And every year, either in July, or August, or September, we put the bags onto New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs. Partly because we really like them, but mostly because the weather in these months is very conducive to enjoying really cold, really crisp wines. We figure Sauvignon Blancs from New Zealand fit our needs perfectly. Of course, when the wines are picked (we have a Fairy assigned to do our picking for us) the wines do not remain all the same from year to year. There may be one or two that get repeated each year, mostly because they showed so well the year before, and then all the new ones that our Fairy has found since the last tasting of this category. All I know is every year there is a new favorite wine or two, and we always think it’s one of our best tastings of the year. And, it’s really fun to taste just what’s in our glass. Not preconceptions from the names on the bottles. Fun and harder in a way because you have to pay attention to what’s going on in your mouth with each wine. Just to add to our learning, our procedure is to go through all six wines, poured in an arbitrary order, without knowing what they are. And, a second time tasting each wine after its label is revealed. Prices are not mentioned until we have all tasted each wine twice and everyone has formed an opinion of which wines they like the most. That means we all get to throw our two cents of expertise into the pot. This year, to spice the event up a bit, we had winery descriptions of their own wines, in front of us as we tasted. So, those of us who wanted to tried to match what the winery said to what we tasted in our glasses. Mostly, we were wrong. But, at least now, I can share share our list with you.

Celia Strong works at Bill’s Liquor & Fine Wines on Lady’s Island.
All six wines this year, besides having the Marlborough region of New Zealand in common, were all from the 2012 vintage. First time they’ve ever all been from the same vintage. Considering all the talk about 2010 Napa Cabernets, and 2007 Burgundy, and on and on, it was really exciting to look at what a vintage in New Zealand meant. But, wait. Some important preinformation first. All six wines this year, besides having the Marlborough region of New Zealand in common, were all from the 2012 vintage. First time they’ve ever all been from the same vintage. Considering all the talk about 2010 Napa Cabernets, and 2007 Burgundy, and on and on, it was really exciting to look at what a vintage in New Zealand meant. As we started to taste, we looked at the winery descriptions of their wines, and they definitely were not what we had always thought of as the flavors of New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs. Almost every wine in this category we always thought of as having grapefruit flavors. The exact thing why some of us like these wines. And why some of us don’t. But the winery descriptions all leaned
the island news | august 15-21, 2013 | www.yourislandnews.com
toward tropical fruits, and only one or two even mentioned grapefruit. Several went to lemon, or lemongrass, and lime. But grapefruit was almost not there. Yikes. Even more fun. Reports on the 2012 vintage in New Zealand, helped explain things for us. The harvest for the year 2012 was down eighteen percent from the year before. The spring and summer were both cooler than normal, so grape growers were expecting a smaller crop. Unfortunately, with fewer grapes, and demand for their wines up from the year before, you can guess what happens. (Yeh, you’re right. Prices will probably go up. Yay.) April was the turning point for this vintage. (Remember, they harvest six months ahead of Northern Hemisphere vineyards.) There was concern whether the weather would be good enough to let the grapes ripen enough. Lucky, lucky. April had lots of warm weather during the days and cool nights. My suspicion is, that just like weather in California like that, the grapes developed more tropical flavors. And so did their wines. Finally, now, our list. We got our wines listed in alphabetical order. Didn’t taste them in that order, but on paper it made sense. So, first, we had Crossings Sauvignon Blanc. Grapefruit with cut grass, dried herb, and stoneflint compliment passionfruit and pungent citrus notes, vibrant intensity, lime zest, mouthwatering acidity, persistent finish. $12.99 Next, Glazebrook Sauvignon Blanc. Usually my favorite. From this producer, we hear we have a vibrant nose of honeydew melon, white peach and mango, backed with herbal notes. A lively palate with crisp lime acidity, lingering mango and passionfruit. This wine was definitely more multi-layered in its flavors. $14.99 Third on our sheets was Massimo. Lemongrass and green grass abound! Crisp acidity, zesty lime, guava, grapefruit essence, lemon zest. Of all the six wines we tasted, this one was probably the least fruity, but we all decided a great aperitif wine because of that. I really liked this one, but others
had others they liked better. $9.99 Fourth we had Momo Sauvignon Blanc. I’m not sure where this name came from (something to do with offspring), but I guess it doesn’t matter. It had pear flavors as well as passionfruit and juicy acidity. Just by saying juicy, we knew right away this wine would be a bit softer on our tongues - no zesty or racy acidity. Most of us really liked this one, flavors and textures. $15.99 Almost done, the fifth wine on our list was Russian Jack Sauvignon Blanc. Really interesting tasting notes on this wine. In addition to passionfruit and juicy acidity, again, this winery also claimed black currant flavors. This, being a red fruit, is almost completely the domaine of red grapes. But, we did taste it. And we liked it. OMG. We must be expanding our horizons. Oh good, though. That’s why the brown bags. $14.99 And last, we had Whitehaven Sauvignon Blanc. Passionfruit, again, a bit of minerality, limes and other tropical fruit notes. Good acidity, not juicy, but also not zesty. Style-wise not a unique wine, but it was a saver style for friends who were less experimental. Of all six, this was probably the closest to what we usual think of as a New Zealand style. $16.99 And, we did it. Like I said, guessing which wine was which by the wineries’ descriptions did not work really well. But, we weren’t grading our papers so no one cared. After the real work of tasting was done, we all agreed another good New Zealand line up. We all really learned that even New Zealand has vintage differences in their wines. We all were proud of ourselves for tasting fairly. And proud we liked some better after our discussion. Which meant we learned something, so pat yourself on the back! We didn’t mention pricing until the very end of the tasting. As you can see, though, they were all grouped pretty close together. So, all was fair in wine and brown bags. And, yes, we want to do it again next year. So, our Fairy is under contract, the brown bags are in a dry, safe place, and we’re drinking new wines. Hope you are too. Enjoy.

Learn about canine behavior with Tracie Korol or adopt a furry friend
Made in the USA? By Tracie Korol
In the last couple of years dog owners routinely tell me they no longer buy kibble and treats made in China. We’ve all become wiser since the melamine poisonings and massive recalls from 2007, we’re aware that quality control and food safety standards are shabby at best in many overseas manufacturing plants and that even in the US, manufacturers have few safety and testing requirements. But despite avoiding these products, dogs continue to die and become ill. How does this happen when the food label says ‘made in the USA’? Food product destined for kibble, rendered useless and inert from irradiation, high-heat processing and extrusion production will not meet AAFCO standards once they are processed. As a consequence, the vitamins and minerals must be added back in for the food to pass AAFCO requirements. In 2007, it was discovered the offending killer, the melamine, was in the premix. What’s the premix? It’s those vitamins, minerals and long chemical names that are listed at the bottom of every dog food label. Chances are high that the premix was manufactured overseas. If the premix is not added to the food, your dog would become ill and malnourished from eating the nutritionally dead contents. If the premix is added to the food, you are relying on foreign safety standards and are

essentially playing chicken with your Best Friend’s health. Nearly every premix is manufactured overseas where production costs are low and manufacturing standards are even lower. The frightening part is that we can’t tell where the premix comes from because it does not have to be listed on the label. The only way to know is to phone the manufacturer and ask if the premix is made in the US or overseas. But here’s the tricky part, even if you make the phone call and find out that your pet food’s premix has been manufactured in the US, there’s still a Great Unknown. The individual synthetic vitamins and minerals that are in that made-in-theUS premix are almost all manufactured in India or China! Here’s a statistic: did you know Chinese manufacturers have cornered over 90% of the U.S. market for this Vitamin C for people? What do you think the percentage is for pet food? Aren’t there laws about this, you ask? At this time, neither the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) nor the Association of American Feed

Control Officials (AAFCO) has any regulations or expressed policies regarding use of the American flag or ‘made in the USA’ on animal food packaging. There are, however, “guidelines” offered by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) (business. ftc.gov/documents/bus03-complyingmade-usa-standard) which are regarded as academic exercise by most pet food manufacturers. US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) regulations require that labels identify the country of origin unless there is a “substantial transformation” of the food in the US before distribution to the public. The example they use is with shrimp. If the shrimp is imported from another country, and once in the US is only subject to
repacking with minimal processing that does not change the character of the food (e.g., peeling, deveining), the label must still say “Made in ___” or “Product of ___.” So, what that really means is once the product is in the US as long as it still resembles shrimp, it must bear a label of origin. However, if once in the US the shrimp is processed into a substantially different food product, such as shrimp cat food, no such label statement, either in regard to the shrimp itself or to the product as a whole, is required by law. Bottom line, we don’t know where the stuff is coming from. It is likely safe to assume that virtually nobody is actively protecting your pet from poisoned pet foods. The safest thing you can do for you pet is to feed him a raw or home prepared diet – or a commercial diet that doesn’t contain premixes. What can you do? Seek out companies that are transparent about testing for toxins. Look for products free of synthetic ingredients of any kind. Do your homework and ask the manufacturer the hard questions. Be an active advocate for your pets.
