By Arlene Heape Hull * Photos by Captured Moments Photography They’re at it again! The “three unreliables” — Harry Chakides, Steven Keyserling and Bernie Schein — are picking back up where their stories left off last year. Sit back, relax and let your mind wander as you listen to Harry talk about times at Harry’s Tavern or hear Bernie tell you about when he asked his mother why his family didn’t have “roots.” Steve will entertain you with stories of growing up in a house full of brothers and the trouble they could get themselves and each other into. If you’ve really listened, you’ve travelled back in time with the three of them to a time when there was only one bridge in town, when local telephone numbers were only four numbers or even easier you just told the operator who you wanted to talk to. You’re back in a time when most of the streets in the
Mossy Oaks subdivision were dirt roads, Beaufort Memorial Hospital was a little red brick building and Eagles didn’t come from Beaufort High School but the Tidal Wave did. It’s Alzheimer’s Family Services of Great Beaufort’s seventh annual dinner theatre to be held Saturday, June 15 at The Shed in Port Royal. Doors open at 6 p.m. with dinner stations open at 6:30 and the opening act at 7 p.m. Tickets are $60 in advance or $65 at the door; call
843-521-9190 or 843-263-2062. This year’s event, an encore presentation of last year, with a few new stories, starts off with an opening act by Ron Daise of the Gullah Nation entertaining you with his Gullah stories. Ten different dinner stations with entrees donated by local restaurants such as award-winning shrimp and grits from Emily’s Restaurant and gumbo from “We Island” Gumbo N’ Tings will delight your appetite. A silent auction the night of the event will offer such items as the use of a mountain house, a beach house, art pieces from local artists, jewelry and a much treasured reserved parking spot at the marina for the week of the Water Festival. All proceeds from this event benefit Alzheimer’s Family Services of Greater Beaufort.
School board approves four new principals The selections of four school principals were approved by the Beaufort County Board of Education. The new principals will take the top positions at Beaufort Elementary, Hilton Head Island Middle, St. Helena Elementary and Joseph S. Shanklin Elementary schools. “This is a strong and well-qualified
group of leaders who have solid educational experience and an intense focus on academics,” said Jeffrey Moss, who will take over as district superintendent on July 1 and who participated in the interviews for all four principals.“The school interview teams were very impressed with their backgrounds and their enthusiasm.”
The new principals are: Nicole Holloman (St. Helena Elementary School) Holloman has served this school year as an assistant principal at Broad River Elementary and last year served as an assistant principal at Beaufort High.

County Council approves purchase of 42 acres In a 10-1 vote, Beaufort County Council members voted to spend $850,000 on 42 acres in Okatie that could eventually be used for a solid waste transfer and recycling station. Waste transfer and recycling stations are facilities where municipal solid waste is unloaded from collection vehicles and briefly held while it is compacted into larger long-distance transport vehicles for shipment to landfills. When developed properly, these facilities can be seamlessly integrated into various urban and rural settings and become indistinguishable
as a waste processing facility. There are also strong benefits to the land’s location. It has close accessibility to both the Northern and Southern regions of the county which will cut down on transportation costs. Additionally, its close proximity to the existing Beaufort Jasper Water Sewer Authority’s waste treatment plant supports the clustering of these types of public infrastructure improvements thereby impacting a minimal amount of surrounding property owners. Currently, Beaufort County has its waste shipped to the Hickory Hill
Landfill in Jasper County. However, experts say Hickory Hill could reach its capacity in anywhere from 6 to 13 years. State law prohibits a new landfill facility within a 75 mile radius to an existing facility and the permitting of a transfer station can take upwards of three to five years. Therefore, once Hickory Hill has reached its capacity, Beaufort County will have limited options on where to dispose of waste if a transfer and recycling station is not created. As a result, County Council members have identified the development of this facility as a top priority.
news briefS County treasurer to speak to LIBPA
Mr. Dour Henderson who was elected to the office of Beaufort County Treasurer in 2010, will be the guest speaker at the Tuesday, June 11 meeting of the Lady’s Island Business and Professional Association meeting to be held at 8 a.m. in the Beaufort County Realtor’s Association Headquarters located in the Palmetto Business Park on Lady’s Island Drive. The meeting is open to the public. Mr. Henderson, originally from Spartanburg, came to Beaufort following his 35 years in the banking industry. Prior to assuming the position of treasurer, he served seven years as a member of Beaufort County Assessor Department. He holds certificates from the South Carolina Banker’s School at the University of South Carolina, the Graduate School of Banking at Louisiana State University and East Carolina University. During his time as a resident of Beaufort he has held positions with the Home Builder’s Association, the United Way and other civic and service organizations. He is the former Chairman of the Aiken Chamber of Commerce and is a graduate of Leadership Beaufort. Mr. Henderson has been requested to include the following in his discussion with our members. • What changes have you initiated in the County Treasurer’s office and why? • What future changes in the treasurer’s office do you recommend be initiated? • Are the annual property tax sales a just and fair process? • The fiscal impact on Beaufort County of the economic slowdown. • Why, in your opinion, should the office of treasurer be elected versus being hired as a county employee?

Protect your eyes from the summer sun By Mark S. Siegel, MD, FAAO
Dr. Mark Siegel,
June is UV Safety Awareness Month. Dr. Siegel and the staff of Sea Island Ophthalmology takes this seriously, and wants to remind everyone of the importance of keeping their eyes protected from the sun, especially during the summer months when more time is spent outdoors. UV radiation, whether from natural sunlight or indoor artificial rays, can damage the eye’s surface tissues as well as the cornea and lens. Unfortunately, many people are unaware of the dangers UV light can pose. By wearing UV blocking sunglasses, you can enjoy the summer safely while lowering your risk for potentially blinding eye diseases and tumors. In addition to wearing sunglasses while outdoors, below are a few more tips on how to protect your eyes from the sun’s damaging UV rays. Don’t focus on color or darkness of sunglass lenses: Select sunglasses that block UV rays. Don’t be deceived by color or cost. The ability to block UV light
MD, FAAO Medical director of Sea Island Ophthalmology, board certified, American Board of Ophthalmology, www. seaislandophthalmology.com. 525-1500. is not dependent upon the price tag or how dark the sunglass lenses are. Check for 100% UV protection: Make sure your sunglasses block 100 percent of UV-A and UV-B rays. Choose wrap-around styles: Ideally, your sunglasses should wrap all the way around to your temples, so the sun’s rays can’t enter from the side. Wear a hat: In addition to your sunglasses, wear a broad-brimmed hat to protect your eyes. Don’t rely on contact lenses: Even if you wear
contact lenses with UV protection, remember your sunglasses. Don’t be fooled by clouds: The sun’s rays can pass through haze and thin clouds. Sun damage to eyes can occur anytime during the year, not just in the summertime. Protect your eyes during peak sun times: Sunglasses should be worn whenever outside and it’s especially important to wear sunglasses in the early afternoon and at higher altitudes, where UV light is more intense. Never look directly at the sun: Looking directly at the sun at any time, including during an eclipse, can lead to solar retinopathy, damage to the eye’s retina from solar radiation. Don’t forget the kids: Everyone is at risk, including children. Protect their eyes with hats and sunglasses. In addition, try to keep children out of the sun between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., when the sun’s UV rays are the strongest.
One Farmer’s Story: Part II By Danette Vernon
I watched a home video tonight on the Internet. A moment of discovery is recorded in the video. A small child finds out for the first time, that when he is eating dinner, he is eating animals. He can’t believe it, and argues for their care instead. At the end of the video, his mom advises him to just eat his potato and rice, and skip the meat. As adults, we know where chicken and bacon come from ... but not really. We are all so disconnected from reality in our world of fast food and grocery stores. To allay my disconnection, I recently visited Marc and Annie at KeeganFilion farms. And yes, the small redhued piglets that came over to the wire fencing to sniff my hand, much as any puppy might, would be dinner someday. But at least, as Marc put it, they only have “one bad day” on his farm. The day they leave. Sadly, until recently, 50 percent of the Keegan-Filion newborn baby pigs died of drowning or roll-overs that smother. Mama pigs tend to nest just before birth like many other animals, only for a mama pig, a nest is a depression dug in the dirt, and mama pigs tend to birth in
The chickens on Keegan-Filion farms that end Moment of Wellness with up on your plate start out as small chicks in cages Danette Vernon that house half of the recommended amount of storms — hence the drownings. As an upgrade, Keegan-Filion mother pigs spend the three weeks surrounding the birth of their young in a farrowing crate. The newborn death rate is now zero. The momma pig can walk up and down, and the shavings that coat the floor are shoveled out every day. A far cry from factory farming wherein mother pigs are kept in gestation crates for their entire lives. Keegan-Filion mother pigs spend the balance of their days, beyond being a mother, lolling about out of doors in the shade. A mud wallow is never more than a short walk away. The piglets I met will be sent to market at 25 pounds if a suckling is wanted, or when they top out at 300 pounds in 7-8 months. Until then, however, life is all leisure The chickens on Keegan-Filion farms that end up on your plate at dinner time start out as small chicks in stacks of cages that house half of the recommended amount of chicks.

chicks. Marc and Annie felt there was only room for 50 chicks in the cages intended for 100. Humanity is the policy at their farm. there was only room for 50 chicks, in the cages intended for 100. Humanity is the policy on Keegan-Filion farms. Each cage has its own bottom that slides out for a daily cleaning, much like the bottom of your average bird cage at home. When the chicks first arrive, they are kept warm, or under a fan, depending on the weather. Then those same stacks are moved into an open-air three-sided structure attached to the chicken house, so that the chicks can adjust to the reality of the temperature outdoors, hot or cold. Ultimately, they are housed in floorless shelters built over wooden skids. Their enclosures are built on skids so that each morning they can be pulled by the tractor into a new spot. That way, everyday, the chickens have fresh grass to move about on. As
a bonus, the chicken manure sweetens the soil with nutrients the ground needs to grow the next round of hay. These enclosures have doors, but they are only closed at night. The chickens could walk out anytime during the day, but unlike the laying hens, these chickens are a different breed, literally, and they just aren’t interested in getting out into the world and catching a June bug. It’s been bred into these chickens to just hang around the water and food all day. It takes four hours just to feed, clean, and move enclosures each day, and when it’s time for any animal to leave the farm, they are sent off to a certified humane processing plant, but till then, as you can see, they live the good life.

What’s hot ... and what’s not By Takiya Smith
Recently, I happened to come across an article by Allure magazine, stating what is now considered to be “outdated” when it comes to beauty. The article was written from a pretty accurate point of view, however, all things considered, beauty really always boils down to matter of opinion as well. I thought it was a fun read and want to share its findings with you. According to sources, there are 14 beauty “don’ts” that we ladies should take into consideration, some of which I thought should actually be “snatched” and not just “taken.” The one beauty “don’t” that stood out to me was French manicures. Now, I don’t know if it’s the fact that I wear a French mani at all times or that I personally think a French manicure, on anyone, is clean, effortless, classic and time saving. I will have to disagree with this beauty don’t being added and seek counsel to have it stricken and removed from record. Now, I must add, which brings me to the next “don’t” on this list, that if your nails are more than a quarter of an inch long, a French mani, some nail bling or some crackle polish just will not

make any of your looks hot! Ladylike lengths are suitable and feminine but there comes a time, particularly when your nails begin to curve like claws, that ladies should consider cutting back. Another focal point of discussion was thick, heavy hand drawn brows. Given the fact that I have wrote endless columns on this topic and even offer the service at my salon, I don’t think we should have this problem in Beaufort County, should we ladies? As a reminder, brows come in all shapes, thicknesses and even style of design, but wear a look that is suitable for your facial shape. The look should be natural, not heavy and can be achieved with the use of powders, liners and even concealer. For more information or questions, visit my blog at www.blb-boutiques. com.

Upward Facing Dog is a backbend that improves posture, expands your chest and shoulders, and strengthens your spine and arms. Upward Facing Dog has been known to help relieve mild depression, fatigue, and even low back pain. This pose can also be therapeutic for those suffering from asthma, as it opens the accessory muscles of your breathing and strengthens your lungs. Lie on your yoga mat with your belly down and your feet hip width distance apart. Bring your hands towards the outer edge of your mat and in line with your rib cage. Spread your fingers wide,
press in to the knuckle of your thumb, index, and middle finger and lift your chest off the earth. Stretch your toes out and press the tops of your feet down, engage and hug every muscle in your legs towards the center of your body to strengthen your spine. Soften your elbows, then move your shoulder blades towards your spine and actively press them into your body. Set your gaze forward and breathe in to your open chest. You may need to modify this post, if you feel any pain or tension in your low spine. To modify the pose and bring ease to your body, simply tuck your elbows in to your sides, lower your thighs, and rest your belly on the floor.

NOW It’s Your Turn for Relief! NEUROPATHY: DON’T JUST LIVE WITH YOUR SYMPTOMS, RELIEVE THEM!
Do You Suffer From THESE SYMPTOMS OF NEUROPATHY?
That numbness and tingling in your hands and feet, or that restless leg that keeps you from getting a good night’s rest, might be more than just an annoyance. It could be the early onset of a nerve debilitating problem called neuropathy. Neuropathy can lead to discomfort, pain and even amputation. Damage can be permanent.
• • • • • • •
What Is Neuropathy?
Neuropathy is one of the most common forms of debilitating nerve diseases. It is estimated that as many as 20 million Americans, about one in seventeen people, suffer from this illness. It can occur at any age, but is more common among people over 45. With neuropathy, the tiny nerves that serve the skin fail in their ability to transmit normal sensations to the brain, such as decreased feeling in the legs and feet. When these nerves become aggravated they are responsible for causing pain, swelling, burning, lack of balance and other symptoms associated with the disease. There is good news. The new office of Lowcountry Neuropathy concentrates in treating neuropathy, and has successfully treated many neuropathy patients using state-of-the-art technology. The medical team of Lowcountry Neuropathy have helped many patients get their lives back without painful surgeries and addictive medications. Their neuropathy protocols have an excellent success rate and can clinically reduce or eliminate the effects of neuropathy.
TIngling / Numbness Pins and Needles Hot / Burning Cold / Chilled Electric Like / Shocking Tightness / Vice-Like Swelling and Pressure
WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF NEUROPATHY? Neuropathy has many different causes. The most common metabolic cause that we see in our office is in patients with diabetes. Nearly 60% of all people with diabetes develop neuropathy. As if the pain, numbness, swelling, burning, tingling, sleepless nights, balance issues, along with all the other symptoms that go along with neuropathy aren’t bad enough, approximately 86,000 Americans each year undergo amputations as a result of uncontrolled neuropathy. • • • • • • •

Field trips are part of the fun at Camp Sea Breeze
Camp Sea Breeze helps kids with asthma Beaufort Memorial accepting applications Children with asthma can learn to safely enjoy an active lifestyle by attending Camp Sea Breeze, a weeklong asthma camp for kids ages 6 through 11, sponsored by Beaufort Memorial LifeFit Wellness Services and the Beaufort Memorial Hospital Foundation, and staffed by hospital respiratory therapists. “Camp Sea Breeze is a day camp designed to teach children with asthma how to cope with their disease,” said Beaufort Memorial respiratory therapist Toni Rehkop. “The camp combines field trips, arts and crafts, exercise and nutrition classes, and asthma education in a fun and safe environment.” To attend Camp Sea Breeze, children must be between the ages of 6 and 11 and be under a physician’s care for asthma. A parent orientation will be held Monday, June 24, at 6 p.m. in suite
350-C of the Beaufort Medical Plaza at Beaufort Memorial, 989 Ribaut Road. The camp will run from Tuesday, June 25, through Friday, June 28, from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., at Beaufort Memorial. The cost is $25 per child, and includes lunch, snacks, materials and a T-shirt. Scholarships are available. Camp Sea Breeze participants will learn: • What triggers asthma attacks • How to prevent asthma attacks • What to do when an asthma attack occurs. Pre-registration is required. To register call Toni Rehkop, respiratory therapist, in the BMH LifeFit Wellness Center at 843-522-5830. Through a joint effort with the YMCA, transportation will be provided for their campers from the YMCA to and from Camp Sea Breeze.

A clean home is a safe home In honor of National Home Safety Month in June, Merry Maids offers these ideas to ensure your clean and safe home. Watch Where You Step: Falls are one of the leading causes of unintentional home injury and are often the result of damp or slick floors and cluttered pathways. They can happen anywhere, but are most common in doorways, corridors, areas with heavy traffic, places prone to wetness or spills and stairs. By keeping these danger zones dry and clutter-free, you are reducing your family’s risk. Make sure to clean up “track-ins” and spills (wet or dry) as soon as they happen and always thoroughly dry your floors after washing. Keep pathways — especially hallways, stairs and around doors — completely clear at all times, and use a microfiber cloth to capture floor dust. The Right Boost For the Job: We’ve all done it. Stood on a chair or a counter to reach a high item, leaned just a little too far or even tried to reach something above our heads. It may seem like a quick fix, but the fact is that uneven surfaces, unguarded heights and unstable work surfaces are another major contributor
to household falls. Add to that the perils of something falling on top of you when you’re trying to get it down from a high space and you will go for the ladder every time. Make sure the ladder you use also has a non-slick, slip resistant coating on the surface. Food Rules: Every time there’s a new outbreak of food borne illness, officials remind us that the first rule of safe food preparation in the home is to keep everything clean. Wash food-contact surfaces (cutting boards, dishes, utensils, countertops) with hot, soapy water after preparing each food item and before going on to the next item. Substance Control: For good home safety, keep all potentially harmful substances secured, well-labeled and out of reach of children, putting them away after each use and making sure child safety lids are on tightly. Merry Maids recommends you also consult each product’s manufacturer’s recommended instructions, directions and storage practices. For more information on house cleaning, please call Merry Maids of Beaufort at 843-522-2777.

Reading and young people, high priority for local bank Boosting high school graduation has been a concerted effort for the United Way since 2008. Today, some 88 percent of the 1,200 United Ways in the U.S. are investing dollars, energy, and leadership to improve high school graduation – whether that’s through school readiness, early grade reading, middle school success or cradle-to-career efforts. In any community, education, income and health are the building blocks for opportunity. Education is essential to getting and keeping a job with a wage that can sustain a family and has health benefits.

Hot Fun in the Summertime By Wendy Nilsen Pollitzer
I
am happy to introduce a new segment to the Social Scene Column now through Labor Day when everything social in Beaufort involves the outdoors. Whether you’re a boater, a fisherman, a pool rat or someone who just enjoys the summer breeze, you’ll appreciate the outdoor photos from The Beaufort Yacht and Sailing Club in the newest addition to The Island News, Hot Fun in Summertime. BYSC is starting a non-competitive recreational swimming and diving club. It’s going to be a lot of fun, and everyone is welcome. Swim Club began June 3, but there’s still time to register. Nick McMahon and Kyle Gogan will teach stroke mechanics and development as well as the principles of competitive swimming and diving Monday, Wednesday and Friday at the BYSC

A lowcountry tradition pool. Practices will be held at 4:45 p.m. until June 10 and subsequently run twice a day from 8 to 9:15 a.m. and 4:45 to 5:45 p.m. All swimmers will be evaluated and placed in the appropriate skill section. Swim Club will run from June 3rd until July 26. Cost is $90 for members and $110 for non-members. For more information, call the office at 522-8216.
YMCA to host annual Beaufort River Swim The Wardle Family YMCA’s 7th Annual Beaufort River Swim will be held Saturday, June 15, beginning at 8 a.m. The event is a three-mile open water swim beginning at the Port Royal Landing Marina and finishing at the boat ramp at the corner of the Downtown Marina, adjacent to the Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park. The cost to participate is $40 and all proceeds directly benefit the Y’s Learn-To-Swim programs. Inquiries may be sent to aquaticsymca@hotmail.com. Online registration is available at active.com or www.ymcabeaufortcounty.
com or www.beaufortriverswim.com. The River Swim is quickly becoming a Lowcountry tradition, with participants of all ages and levels: triathletes, recreational lap swimmers and competitive age group swimmers. Approximately $3,000 is raised annually for the Y’s Learn-to-Swim programs. YMCA Senior Program Director Rick Simonds hopes to continually increase the success of this event. “The River Swim plays an integral role in helping people in our community learn to swim. We are surrounded by water in Beaufort County and it is
imperative that children and adults alike have this lifesaving skill. The event grows in popularity each year, attracting Olympians like Carlton Bruner and master swimmers like Pete Palmer. We hope for a fantastic turn out this year.” In 2012, approximately $32,000 in scholarship funds were given to the Y’s Learn-to-Swim programs, group pool times and aquatic safety outreach programs. The YMCA impacted more than 1,100 individuals during the year and taught more than 640 people in its Learnto-Swim programs.

A focus on students, teachers and educational events in northern Beaufort County
Students register for virtual summer school classes More than 500 students have registered – and hundreds more are expected to register before the June 14 deadline – for the Beaufort County School District’s virtual summer school program, which lets students go to class during the summer without actually entering a school. This will be the fourth year for the eight-week program, which helps students maintain or accelerate their academic skills over summer vacation. Chrissy Robinson, the district’s Director of Educational Technology, said that
reading and math results from Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) tests indicate that students who participate in Virtual Summer School program retain more information than those who don’t take part. Robinson said the summer program can adapt to what individual students need because the computer programs are customized. “If a student is behind at the end of the school year, that student can use virtual summer school to catch up,” she said. “But
advanced students also can benefit by getting a head-start on courses they’ll be taking next school year.” The Beaufort County Board of Education has pushed to make the popular summer online program available to more students because research suggests that summer achievement loss is greatest among students from lower socioeconomic backgrounds. The school district estimates that about half of this summer’s participants will be from lowincome families.
Last summer, 600 students — about a quarter of the total enrollment — participated at community centers through partnerships between the district and the Boys & Girls Club of the Lowcountry, the YMCA of Beaufort and the Neighborhood Outreach Centers in Bluffton and Hilton Head. This summer, each of the community centers will make Virtual Summer School a part of its daily activity schedule, with students working for 45 minutes on math and 45 minutes on English Language Arts.

other nominees demonstrate every day how vitally important support staff are in day-to-day school operations,” said Acting Superintendent Jackie Rosswurm. “For teachers to be effective in their classrooms, they have to have top-notch professional support from social workers, school nurses, bookkeepers, office managers, teacher assistants, school secretaries, and technology and data specialists.” Nelson was one of five finalists chosen from 30 school nominees based on their applications, and those finalists were interviewed by a team of judges. • More than 1,100 seniors will don caps and gowns this week to receive their diplomas during ceremonies at five high schools across the district. “These ceremonies are very significant events in the lives of our students, their families and the many educators who have worked with them down through the years,” said Board of Education Chairman Bill Evans. “It’s a time to celebrate this accomplishment, to look back at what it took to get here, and also to look ahead. Whether our new graduates are heading on to college, entering the military or beginning their careers, we wish them the very best.” The school district’s Class of 2013 has earned $22.8 million in college scholarships, and its members have acceptance letters in hand from more than 200 colleges and universities across the nation.

What does it take to be a show dog? By Pamela Brownstein
Eight-year-old Chadwick Pickatey kept her cool as she faced a crowd of fourth and fifth graders at Beaufort Elementary School. With her ribbons and awards proudly displayed on stage, she performed perfectly and didn’t let the pressure get to her. And for her good behavior she was given a small piece of raw venison. That’s because this 8-year-old also happens to have a fur coat and four legs and is a breed of dog known as a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Owner Pam Taub brought her beloved pet to the school to show the students what it’s like to prepare a show dog. With Chadwick Pickatey atop a grooming table, Taub demonstrated how to brush the dog’s long hair. Students asked many questions, including if the dog does any tricks. “The only trick she does is to be sweet,” Taub said with a smile. On stage, Taub showed what judges will look for at a dog show. Chadwick Pickatey has won Best in Breed at many American Kennel Club shows. Beaufort Elementary educator Julie LaGrone, who invited Taub to give the presentation, acted as the judge. LaGrone is in charge of the Tail Waggers program, where therapy dogs come to fourth and fifth grade classes. Each class has its own Clockwise from above: Pam Taub is seen with her Cavalier King Charles Spaniel dog, which vary from labs to mutts to Chadwick Pickatey and a student from Beaufort Elementary; the regal dog is put through the judging process; students admire the show dog’s ribbons.

Students perform ‘The Happy Prince’ to a full house Hearts were racing, butterflies were fluttering, and spirits were soaring May 28 and 29 as Holy Trinity Classical Christian grammar school students presented their spring production of “The Happy Prince.” Adapted from a short story by Oscar Wilde, the play tells the story of the statue of a deceased Prince of France placed high above the streets of Paris. The Prince regrets the selfish, pleasure-seeking nature of his human existence and wishes to make amends. He befriends a sparrow who has stopped to rest on his pedestal during her migratory journey south. After visiting Versailles and witnessing the lavish and frivolous lives of the aristocracy, the sparrow agrees to help the Prince ease the suffering of poor. Though imperative for it to fly south, the sparrow carries his gold necklace, crown, and precious sapphire eyes to those in need. Winter comes before the sparrow has a chance to leave, and the sparrow perishes. The Prince’s heart breaks in sorrow. The haughty Lord Councilor tears the statue down and throws it in the fire, but the Prince’s heart cannot be melted. The dead sparrow and
the broken lead heart, “the two most precious things on earth,” are retrieved by the Angel Gabriel who brings them to heaven. The Lord praises Gabriel by saying “You have rightly chosen, Gabriel. For in the garden of Paradise this little bird shall sing forevermore, and in my city of gold, the Happy Prince shall ever praise me.” Poignant closing words from a play sprinkled with joyous songs, dances,
and hilarious character acting — a play whose message touched the hearts of the audience, but blessed the participants as well. “We are so proud of our students for their dedication to this production,” said Headmaster Reverend Chad Lawrence. “We must remember these children are just in elementary school. What they were able to do in this production is classical education at the heart.”
School district recognizes retirees for years of service The Beaufort County School District recognized employees who retired this year. “It’s an honor to recognize these educators and thank them for their service,” said Acting Superintendent Jackie Rosswurm. “They have played key roles in our district for many, many years and have made innumerable contributions to the lives of children in Beaufort County.” The district retirees were honored at a meeting of the Beaufort County Board of Education.

An in-depth look at the people, businesses and organizations that shape our community
Jaime Dailey-Vergara knows the importance of family, hard work, coffee and good communication By Anne Christnovich On her first day of work at the Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce, Jaime Dailey-Vergara looked out her new office window and relished the simple pleasure of seeing her car in the same parking spot for the whole day. As a veteran of the broadcast news world, it was a luxury well earned. Dailey-Vergara was the Lowcountry reporter for WTOC Channel 11 for more than 10 years, and rarely had a day of work that didn’t include rushing from story to story between Jasper, Hampton and Beaufort counties. She started as the chamber’s communications manager in January and now manages the chamber’s social media, writes a weekly newsletter sent to about 650 chamber members and helps alert the community to local events and visits from state and national politicians. She’s also on the chamber’s Military Enhancement Committee, composed of volunteers working to protect the area’s military bases and promotes the $1.5 million impact the bases have on the local economy. Dailey-Vergara loved her job at WTOC and said leaving reporting was a difficult decision, but after a lot of thought and prayer she said she knew taking the communications management position was the right move. “I always thought if I left (WTOC), it wasn’t going to be for just a job — it was going to be for something I’m passionate about,” she said. “I see this chamber really going far and I’m proud to be part of it.” Dailey-Vergara and her husband, Jose Vergara, were newlyweds when she got her job at WTOC and moved to the area 11 years ago. The couple — both from Indiana — were high school sweethearts, went to Indiana University together (Dailey-Vergara got her broadcast journalism degree there) and plan to call Beaufort County their home for many years to come. “I think we’d been living here for something like two months when we looked at each other and said ‘Yep, we’re staying,’ ” she said. The two will celebrate 12 years of marriage and 20 total years together on June 23.
Jaime Dailey-Vergara with her husband, Jose Vergara, and daughters Lilly, 9, and Ava Grace, 5.
Chatting with Jamie DaileyVergara gives the impression of a woman who has boundless energy and enthusiasm, which are attributes handy and necessary for both her current and former jobs. She said jokingly that her demeanor should partly be credited to a steady supply of coffee. “There are a lot of things I can go without but coffee is not one of them,” she said, laughing. A caffeine dependency seems perfectly reasonable after hearing about her schedule for the past decade. As a reporter, Dailey-Vergara would go to a special event at a school, hustle to the scene of a structure fire and then cover a football game in a single day. Her car, she said, was like a mobile office where she often ate meals and lined up interviews at a moment’s notice. Her reporter badge allowed her to witness things she never dreamed she would, she said, including covering military homecomings and flying with the Blue Angels in 2011. Of the homecomings, DaileyVergara said she would often tear up during the assignment because she would recognize men and women whom she’d covered when they were deployed. “You really come to understand the daily sacrifice these men and
women make,” she said. “Seeing them come home safe was ... amazing.” As for her ride with the Blue Angels, she admits they didn’t get up to 7 Gs but said they reached the “respectable” level of 5.5 Gs, she said, according to her military friends. “Something happened where we were delayed .... we ended up flying at sunset,” she said. “It was gorgeous.” On the flip side, Dailey-Vergara said she worked long hours and often got called out of bed in the middle of the night for breaking news. With her rapidly growing daughters — Lilly, 9, and Ava Grace, 5 — it was a task that was getting harder and harder to do, she said. Her reporting skills, she said, have transferred fluidly to her new role and although she isn’t called out of bed in the middle of the night anymore, she’s still been plenty busy. And, she said, she’s enjoying the new challenge of trying to find answers for the questions media reporters toss her way. During an hour-long interview Dailey-Vergara’s iPhone rang, beeped and vibrated several times — in much the way the phone of a busy reporter would sound — but she said workload is welcome. “There are still deadlines, but just
a different type,” she said. “There’s still pressure, but it’s a different kind of pressure.” When St. Helena Island native Candice Glover was competing for her American Idol title, the chamber took on the responsibility of organizing the hometown concert and fielding a flock of reporters following Glover’s fairytale-like story. When it came to setting up where the media would be for the performance, Dailey-Vergara said she took the reins in setting up where reporters would be set up. “It was so funny ... a few members were like, ‘We could set up the media over here,’ and I was like, ‘No they have to be over here ... they have to have a good spot,’ ” she said. “I know what I would want and so I can kind of help with those kinds of things.” The chamber also recently lobbied to pass the film rebate bill and is currently organizing the Civitas Awards, given to various members of the Beaufort community for leadership, volunteerism and making the area a better place to live. The award ceremony will take place 6 to 9 p.m., June 28, at the Dataw Island Club. She and the other members of the Military Enhancement Committee also have a weekly conference call with representatives in Washington, D.C. The committee members, DaileyVergara said, are people whom she interviewed several times over the years, but now she knows them on a new level. “I did stories on some of them and now I’m working along with them on the same team,” she said. “It’s a good environment. Everyone has passion about what they do.” Despite the new schedule and responsibilities, Dailey-Vergara still decided she has the time and energy to start training for her second marathon, too. She ran her first two years ago while juggling parenting and reporting. The run, scheduled for November, will be with a group from her church, Water’s Edge. They’re raising money through Team in Training for a 6-year-old member who has leukemia. “I like to have a lot on my plate,” she said. “I always have to have new challenges.”

The Baby Diaries: Sweating out the summer By Pamela Brownstein
When I discovered my due date was August 7, many people expressed sympathy over my being pregnant during the summer months. I dismissed their comments, and thought, “These people don’t know; I’m stronger than that. How bad can it really be?” Now, at 31 weeks, with my baby the size of 3 pound cabbage, I’m starting to understand why so many women lament summer pregnancies. It’s like as soon as May hit, so did my third trimester, and the two collided and the heat and extra weight nearly knocked me down. I feel like a stereotypical caricature of a pregnant lady I picture waddling around Waterfront Park before collapsing on a
Pam’s P.O.V.

bench in the shade hoping no one will notice her red, sweaty face. I don’t think it makes it any easier that my son, Wolfe, has turned from a sweet baby to a full-on big boy toddler overnight. At 16 months, he is ready to go and explore everything in the world, leaving his mom and dad in his dust, exhausted and wondering how we’ll ever be able to keep up — especially once his baby sister arrives. I’ve already given up picking up his
toys, the effort it takes just to bend over is almost comical, and in the end not worth it. A part of me thinks it’s kind of funny to see items completely out of place that Wolfe has carried around and quickly discarded: A fork in the bathroom, a remote control in a tupperware container on the kitchen floor, an empty milk carton swiped from the recycling bin that mysteriously reappears under the dining room table. It sounds so cliché also, but he has grown up so fast, even in the last two months. While it is a lot of work to keep up with him, I know he’s at a super endearing age where he’s absorbing all the sounds and actions of those around him, and it’s really cute to watch him try to make the sound
of a cow (“Moo” sounds more like a soft “boo”) or show you his belly button, which he thinks is pretty amazing. And even though most of the time I feel like a cow myself, and just want to lie on my nice cool bed with my giant belly and let the ceiling fan work its magic, I know I need to get up and make the most of the day. Wolfe will only be this way for a short time, and already I feel like I’m letting it pass me by. So during these next two months when the humid days of summer really start to set in, I’ll be thinking about all the other moms-to-be who are sweating it out as I chase my toddler around the beach and playground, and take comfort knowing New Bebe will be here soon.
School choice, though limited, is a victory for SC families By Chad Connelly
There are few things that bring me more pleasure as Chairman of the South Carolina Republican Party than praising our state’s elected officials for focusing on truly meaningful reforms. This past week, members of our State Senate did just that. For over a decade, school choice has been a big part of the national dialogue on education reform. In fact, 22 other states currently have school choice programs. That number is growing year after year. While these other states took the step toward more student-focused education systems, the South Carolina Senate managed to never even take a vote on whether or not South Carolina families should have the same options! That all changed this past week, when Republican senators took control of the state budget process to make sure school choice finally got a fair hearing on the Senate floor.
S e n a t o r Larry Grooms deserves special commendation for his impassioned support of an amendment that offered scholarships Chad to low-income Connelly and special needs students. Unfortunately, Senator Grooms’ bold amendment was voted down by a significant margin. It troubles me to say that nine Republicans joined Democrats in voting against an idea that has been a plank of the GOP Platform for over a dozen years. Despite what some people would want you to believe, that vote was not the end of the debate over school choice. Senator Kevin Bryant rallied Senators to vote on a much more conservative school choice amendment that offers tuition scholarships to
certain students with exceptional learning needs. I am pleased to say that the Senate voted to approve Senator Bryant’s amendment by a margin of 25-14. Equally encouraging is the fact that eight of the Republican senators who voted against the Grooms amendment joined the rest of the Republican senators to vote in support of a school choice amendment! I personally want to thank Senators Thomas Alexander, Larry Martin, Hugh Leatherman, Ronnie Cromer, Wes Hayes, John Courson, Billy O’Dell and Paul Campbell for their support on this historic vote. While very limited in size and scope, the passage of the school choice amendment is a real victory for families in South Carolina. A majority of Senators worked together to make a statement about the need for parents — not bureaucrats — to have the final say in where a child attends school. The fight isn’t over.
Members of the State House of Representatives will very shortly have the opportunity to take up the Bryant amendment in their own chamber. This is more than the opportunity to affirm the Senate’s vote on a small school choice amendment. it is an opportunity for leaders in the State House to urge even greater options for a wider number of families. After all, the House did pass a school choice bill last year that died in the Senate. I am calling on Republican Senators and Representatives to work together to pass the most comprehensive education reform package the Palmetto State has ever seen. We have an obligation to make sure children have every opportunity to be in the classroom that really meets their learning needs. Now we have the perfect opportunity to make good on that obligation. I look forward to our elected officials uniting behind policies that put students first.
letter to the editor Comparing the budget transparency of the school district versus Beaufort County on the web This is my budget study week. Wow, what a contrast discovered between the Beaufort County School District website versus that of Beaufort County. First, the Beaufort school district website: It includes a summary by department then a detailed schedule of each department spending comparing the proposed 2014 budget to the forecast spending for 2013, plus actual spending for three additional prior years. Revenue budgets were compared to previous years. The website included an excellent 30 page budget presentation made to the Beaufort County Council. A job well done. In the
corporate world, this would meet the standard. Then look at Beaufort County’s budget on the web. I pulled up “Finance” and clicked on the “2014 budget”. What did I get? Absolutely nothing! Where is the County Council and its Finance Committee? What are they doing? In the corporate world this would get someone fired. Council members get paid for up to 144 meetings a year. Why don’t they set policy and demand proper transparency? The big joke is on citizen taxpayers. The County Council approves school finance and, in previous years,
demanded more school data while receiving little for their own budget. The County Council has oversight of the school budget under present law, and needs a strong citizen committee overseeing county budgets. County library hours have been drastically reduced by budget cuts of 25% in 2013 compared to 2008. Yet county has underspent this reduced budget by over $350,000 in 2012 and looks like another $370,000 for 2013. Where did the money go? Whose policy is this? Administration? Council? Both? Nobody?

Series focuses on protecting childhood innocence As summer is starting, many parents will have to make choices about summer camps, child care and other activities to keep our children engaged and cared for. One thing recent child abuse scandals taught us is that sex offenders are not those scary men in trench coats waiting to prey on children. They are mentors, coaches, role models, fathers and upstanding people in the community. Sex offenders will be attracted to work and volunteer at places where there are children. So how can we as parents and caregivers protect our children to ensure that they have a safe summer? Hope Haven of the Lowcountry, our local Children’s Advocacy and Rape
Crisis Center, is taking a proactive step to engage parents in becoming knowledgeable when it comes to this problem of child sexual abuse. “We want parents to know the right questions to ask, the right things to look for when making choices on summer activities for their children. We also want parents to know how to talk to their children about this topic that will not scare them but empower the children to know what to do in situations where their safety is compromised,” says executive director Shauw Chin Capps. Hope Haven is offering a brown bag series called “Protecting Childhood Innocence” focusing on the prevention
of child sexual abuse. Bring a bag lunch and be a part of an important discussion led by the experts in child sexual abuse prevention from Hope Haven. Participants will get the opportunity to receive invaluable information and resources that are practical and can be put to immediate use to protect children from being sexually abused. There will be four brown bag sessions offered in the Lowcountry community and participants can choose to attend any one of the four. The dates and times are: • June 17, 12 to 1:30 p.m., at Hope Haven’s office (4th floor of the Region’s Bank building on Robert Smalls Parkway right across from Stokes
Honda dealership in Beaufort), 69 Robert Smalls Parkway, Beaufort, SC • June 20, 12 to 1:30 p.m., at the Bluffton Public Library Small Conference Room, 120 Palmetto Way, Bluffton, SC • June 24, 12 to 1:30 p.m., at the Palmetto Electric Cooperative Community Room, 111 Mathews Drive, Hilton Head Island, SC • June 27, 12 to 1:30 p.m., at the Harrison Peeples Health Care Center Conference Room, 970 Pine Street, Varnville, SC 29944 Please RSVP to Leigh-Ann Shoupe at 843-524-2256 or email hope5@islc. net.
Get proper training during ‘abandonment season’ This is the season for animal abandonment at shelters and rescues countywide. Owners are getting busy with summer activities and don’t have time for their four-legged responsibilities. Dogs, especially, begin needing behavior training and owners are at a loss for quality help that lasts. The main problem with general dog training is that most “sessions” teach the dog what not to do: jump, dig, bark, chew, etc. and can be quite successful
for awhile, but the dog gets frustrated and reverts back to his prior behavior. Without identifying the cause, and more importantly, replacing the behavior, your dog will always revert back. Not only must we replace the behavior, we must insure that the dog be able to get and initiate attention on his own, no by the owner or passerby. This will ensure that the dog gets his basic needs met, while pleasing his owner. The secondary problem with most

training, is that is does not involve “real world” scenarios. Private training is difficult because of the lack of distraction. Inside training is unrealistic and does not translate well to outside situations, like walking on a leash. A third, but still very important factor is that a dog cannot think and react unless they are well exercised and on a decent diet. Your trainer must be able to offer an outlet for energy prior to training as well as nutritional information unique
to each dog and his needs. During this “abandonment season”, we encourage you to find a dog training group class that • Addresses both problem behaviors and replacement behaviors • Offers group classes both inside and outside with “real world” distractions • Trains with positive reinforcement for a well-motivated pooch.

LITTLE BITS OF ROYAL CHATTER By Peggy Chandler Just in case you haven’t heard, we have some great news for Royal Pines residents: Lady’s Island Country Club is planning to undergo extensive renovations scheduled to begin in late June of this summer! According to Jeff Fischer, the owner, the clubhouse will be totally “skinned” and the only thing that will remain the same is the center fireplace. The kitchen will be completely remodeled and updated, and the chic new design in the bar and dining room will hopefully attract young, new members. Outdoor dining will be added where the pool is currently located and all furnishings will be replaced with a Lowcountry design. 22
The golf course and pro shop will remain open during the renovations. The pro shop will also double as the snack shop and serve sandwiches and drinks while the restaurant is being renovated. The pool is being moved to a new location possibly near the existing putting green, Peggy plans are to close it for the summer. Chandler Renovations are expected to be completed by Christmas of 2013. With new and updated facilities, the club hopes to schedule more events like weddings and business meetings. They plan to have free WiFi, a coffee station, and other amenities to attract such events and new members.

LIGHTHOUSE PIZZA
By Pamela Brownstein
The Lunch Bunch gathered at Beaufort’s newest pizza joint, Lighthouse Pizza, on Lady’s Island. Although most recently the location of the Lighthouse Deli, most locals might remember the spot best as the old location of Upper Crust in the little strip mall across the street from Beaufort High School. It is now owned by Thomas and Starr de Treville, who opened the restaurant earlier this spring. The couple is all about family — Tom’s grandpa, Ellis de Treville, has owned the property since the 1960s, and Tom’s sweet mom helps out when she can working behind the counter. The menu focuses on pizzas and calzones — diners can order specialty pies or build their own from a large list of toppings. Personal size pizzas are available, and can also be made gluten free for those with food allergies. We tried Tom’s Alfredo pizza made with a Mozzarella/Provolone cheese blend, cheddar cheese, chicken, ham, black olives, mushrooms and Tom’s Delicious Alfredo Sauce. The crust was cooked just right and it was a tasty pie. We also had a meat lovers pie topped with pepperoni, beef, Italian sausage, and

sprinkled with some hot pepper flakes because this yummy pizza definitely packed a kick. We all really enjoyed the Spicy Chipolte BBQ Calzone (which can also be ordered as a pizza). This giant calzone was filled with a variety of cheeses — a Mozzarella/Provolone blend, Parmesan and Romano — pepperoni and delicious chipolte barbecue chicken. The restaurant also offers a big

wine
Looking through rose-colored glasses By Celia Strong
I haven’t mentioned it in a long time, but our monthly tasting group just met, and because we insist on learning at these tasting, we sometimes have wines that we might not drink if left to our own devices. True, too, maybe after tasting them we still might not, but, at least with a tasting on our record, we can say we’re mature enough to have tried. And, guess what? There is always one in the group who expected not to like the wines and is converted, which is the whole point of the wine tasting! So, this month, in keeping with the warm weather, we tasted rosé wines. When we picture these pink-colored wines, it’s always hard for some to get past that color thing. It’s important that we remember that these wines are made almost exactly like red wines, and from all the same grape varieties. Since the color for red wines comes from the skins (grape pulp and juice are both white), it’s easy to see that rosés must also get their color from the grape skins. The difference is just in the amount of time the juice and fermented wine is allowed to sit with the skins, soaking up more color the longer they sit together. Reds can sit for up to two and three weeks, rosés for hours and days only. In addition to less color getting soaked up, rosés also get fewer tannins from the skins. Tannins are that texture you feel on the back of your teeth with a red wine. And, it’s tannin that helps red wines cut through the fats in red meats. Since rosés have fewer tannins, they are balanced with higher levels of acidity. Not as much as most white wines, but enough so that they taste better slightly chilled. What we need to remember are several things — rosé wines can be very good, especially with certain foods, they can be a perfect compromise in summer warm weather, they can be fun for a change, and, best of all, they taste really good. Oh, one more thing, they can look really pretty as part of your table’s décor. Aesthetically pleasing, besides gastronomically. So, our group met and lined up six bottles of rosé. They came from Italy, France, Spain and Argentina. In choosing

them, we wanted to have a variety of styles (some lighter, some heavier, all dry, though) and grape varieties. We did not pick any from the United States only for time reasons. And, we did make sure to point out to guests that rosé wine and blush wine are not the same thing. Bar none one of the most confusing issues of doing this tasting. Blush wine is made not by letting the must soak with the skins, but by making a white wine, usually sweeter, and “blushing” it with a bit of grape juice to add some color. Here is a description of our wines and what we thought if them. Santi Infiniti Rosé comes from northeastern Italy, near Venice. It is actually a rosé of Bardolino (the baby version of Valpolicella), and is made from the traditional three grapes of those wines — Covina, Rhondinella, and Molinara. Yeah, we’re all going to remember that, for 10 seconds. This wine is light pink in color, crisp and dry, with cherry and black currant flavors. It pairs really well with slightly spicy foods, like gazpacho. Our group liked this wine, but of the six we tasted, most of them preferred others. It was hard choosing because all were good, just really different from each other. For $10.99. Chateau de Campuget Rosé is our second wine. It is a Costières de Nimes appellation, from southern France. A blend of Syrah and Grenache, this one is very aromatic, well balanced in your mouth and has a lovely, long, fruity finish. A bit paler colored than the first wine, the group did think this is a really well made wine, because of the aromas, balance and long finish. For $10.99. Marc Roman Rosé is again from southern France, the Lanquedoc area. It was a deep geranium pink shade, and, as the slightly darker color tells us, a bit
“Our emphasis has always been on first name friendly service.”
fuller bodied than the first two wines. Not heavy mind you, a bit more is all. Red fruit aromas and flavors, a hint of red roses, and mild acidity made this one of the favorites at our tasting. And, we can move the food up a notch here to hams and sausages. Of course, when the price was revealed, this wine moved into first place for some of our tasters. A deal at $6.99. Torres Sangré de Toro Rosé was our one wine from Spain. But, we are trying to learn that rosés are made all over the world. Coming from the Cataluña area of Spain, this wine is a blend of Garnacha (Grenache) and Cariñena (Carignan), both varieties that are popular on either side of the Pyrenées mountains. Again, a deeper shade of pink, with hints of purple at the edges, and, again, a bit heavier than the previous wines. Still a good march for ham and sausages, roast poultry, and, because it’s Spain, saffron and paella. For $9.99. Chateau d’Aqueria Tavel comes from the town of Tavel in the Rhône Valley. This appellation is known for its rosés, thank goodness because that’s all they make. Most of us in our group were familiar with the name and, at some point in the past, a Tavel wine. We do have to remember that there are lots of different Tavels, just like there are lots of Napa Cabernets. This wine is a blend of many more grapes, mostly Grenache and Syrah, and some white varieties as well. And, definitely fuller bodied so it will go with grilled seafood and poultry, goat cheeses and Asian flavors. For $15.99. Susana Balbo Crios Rosé of Malbec,
our last one, was probably the biggest surprise of any wine in our lineup. Much more color, which is explained by the mere fact that it’s made from Malbec. Malbec, a blending grape in Bordeaux, is used for two main reasons — a softer mouth-feel and deeper color. So, a rosé made from one hundred percent Malbec will have more color, without even trying. Going along with its deeper color, though, this wine was the fullest bodied of any. And, yes, it is from Argentina. If you’ve ever been to an Argentine asado (a long, course after course meal that runs the gamete from salads to sausage to chicken to multiple cuts of beef, all cooked on an open fire) you know this wine is perfect for many of the courses. At $12.99. So, there we are, six opened bottles of rosé, and we go through and taste them in order a second time. The second time, now that our mouths are more mellowed with the first six tastes, can get a second impression of each wine. And, as we revisit them, we can better decide which style of rosé each of us likes better. Just like any other broad category of wine — Chardonnays, Cabernets, whatever — we have only scratched the surface of rosés. Too bad we can’t get together more often. But, we can each do some homework and taste more on our own. And, you know what? So can you. Like the group said, maybe not what they’d ordinarily go to, but a great tasting and some eyes were opened. There’s nothing like looking around through rose-colored glasses. Rosé colored I mean! Enjoy.

Learn about canine behavior with Tracie Korol or adopt a furry friend
Why we need to read the label By Tracie Korol
Royal Canin, a major dog food manufacturer, was quoted recently in Forbes magazine as developing an “Anallergenic formula” dog food using chicken feathers as the main source of protein. Keith Levy of Royal Canin states, “Feathers are broken down to an amino acid level and don’t have much of a taste. Then we add palatizers for taste ... We’re looking for lots of different sources of protein for our foods: hydrolyzed soy; for some of our foods in China we use worm meal.” Feather meal is being pitched as the new best thing in pet food. Hard to believe. At some point in recent history we have been led to believe that combinations of non-foods, unknowns, chemicals and now feathers are what constitute food for our Best Friends. When I came to understand what “dog food” was really made of, I gained new appreciation for a dog’s inbred vital force and will to survive, and usually be in pretty good spirits, on a diet of garbage. What follows are the ingredients from the label of one the most popular dog food brands, explained. This list is taken directly from the white bag with colorful drawings of vegetables in the dog food aisle at most major grocery stores. Here’s what’s in it, right from the label and of course, with my commentary: Ground yellow corn (Number one ingredient. That means that at least 95% of this particular kibble is corn. The percentage is standardized by AAFCO — Association of American Feed Control Officials — that provides model

regulations for the pet food industry. Personally, I would be a little miffed at paying so much for plain old corn.); chicken by-product meal (Pet grade meat by-products consist of lesser organs and parts either not desired, or condemned for human consumption. This can include bones, blood, intestines, lungs, ligaments, heads, feet, and feathers. This can also include the dreaded 4 D’s — dead, dying, diseased or dying prior to slaughter. Sorry, it’s true). Corn gluten meal (This is the remainder of the corn after the best parts of the corn have been removed. Primarily used as a binder.); whole wheat flour (fiber source and filler); animal fat preserved with mixed-tocopherols (form of Vitamin E) (“Animal fat” is a “generic” fat source that is most often made up of rendered unknown animal fat, restaurant grease, or other oils too rancid or deemed inedible for humans); rice flour (filler); beef (Finally, a real food! But look how far down the list it occurs. How much real beef do you think is included in this remaining 5%?); soy flour (filler); sugar (dogs like sweet things, too); propylene glycol (say, isn’t this antifreeze?); meat and bone meal (unless

labeled, “meat” can be any meat, dead or alive, hooved, winged, or the dreaded Wild Miscellaneous). Now comes the list of supplements that are added when the real vitamins are leeched out in the rendering process. I’ll pick out a few that may seem mysterious: tricalcium phosphate, phosphoric acid, salt, water, animal digest (This is purely a flavoring agent. It is made of unspecified parts of unspecified animals, cooked into a goopy broth and used as a spray-on or is directly added to the liquid kibble mix); sorbic acid (a preservative); potassium chloride; dried carrots, dried peas (vegetables!!); calcium propionate (a preservative); L-Lysine monohydrochloride (known to hasten recovery from cold sores); choline chloride (an ammonium salt also added to chicken feed to accelerate growth);
added color (Red 40, Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Blue 2), (These colors are added for your benefit alone. Your dog knows the orangecolored niblets are not carrots and the green-colored ones are not peas.) DL-Methionine (Acidifies urine); Vitamin E supplement; zinc sulfate; ferrous sulfate; manganese sulfate; niacin; Vitamin A supplement; calcium carbonate; copper sulfate; Vitamin B-12 supplement; calcium pantothenate (Vitamin B5 that synthesizes fats); thiamine mononitrate (B vitamin complex, found naturally in pork, organ meats, legumes, nuts, and whole grain); garlic oil; pyridoxine hydrochloride (part of the B complex of vitamins usually naturally found in organ meats, whole grains and brewer’s yeast); riboflavin supplement; Vitamin D-3 supplement; menadione sodium bisulfite complex (source of Vitamin K activity) (A Vitamin K3 derivative that is reputed to aid in “blood clotting.” It has been banned from use in food and supplements for human use in many European countries due to serious side effects, including permanent damage and death); calcium iodate; folic acid; biotin; sodium selenite (a salt commonly used in the manufacture of colorless glass).
