Beginning Monday, March 3, the hours of operation at the Beaufort, Bluffton and Hilton Head branch libraries were extended to 50 hours a week. “In June of 2011 we had to cut hours at the branches across the county due to budgetary constraints. Ever since that happened, the public has been asking us to get the hours back to where they were, so that’s what we are trying to do,” said Beaufort County Director of Libraries Wlodek Zaryczny. The new hours for the Beaufort branch library on Scott Street are Mondays-Thursdays, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Fridays, 1 to 5 p.m.; Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.; closed Sundays.

Prevent injuries with 10 eye safety tips during Workplace Eye Wellness Month By Mark S. Siegel

More than 700,000 work-related eye injuries occur each year. March is Workplace Eye Wellness Month — a good time to refocus attention on your eye protection program. Get the facts here, plus 10 tips for injury prevention. As the National Safety Council points out, “All it takes is a tiny sliver of metal, particle of dust, or splash of chemical to cause significant and permanent eye damage.” OSHA’s eye and face protection standard requires employers to “ensure that each affected employee uses appropriate eye or face protection when exposed to eye or face hazards from flying particles, molten metal, liquid chemicals, acids, or caustic liquids, chemical gases or vapors, or potentially injurious light radiation.” Share these injury-prevention tips with managers and supervisors. 1. Look carefully at plant operations, work areas, access routes, and equipment. Study injury patterns to see where accidents are occurring. 2. Conduct regular vision testing, as uncorrected vision can cause accidents. 3. Select protective eyewear based on specific duties or hazards. 4. Establish a mandatory eye protection program in all operation areas.

5. Have eyewear fitted by a professional. 6. Establish first-aid procedures for eye injuries, and make eyewash stations available, especially where chemicals are in use. 7. Make eye safety part of your employee training and new hire orientation. 8. Make sure managers and executives set an example by wearing protective eyewear wherever it’s worn by other employees. 9. Regularly review and revise your policies, and set a goal of zero eye injuries. 10. Display a copy of your policy where employees can see it. It’s also a good time to remind employees of off-the-job eye hazards like do-it-yourself work on cars and homes, cooking accidents, sports injuries, yard work, and chemical splashes from cleaners and fertilizers. So please protect your eyes — you only get two of them.

Now is the time to prune By Susan Stone

The weather is finally starting to break and our landscapes have taken the winter rather hard. It’s time to cut back overgrowth and cold damage. As I drive around the county, it seems that our palms have suffered the worst. February is the typical month for cutting roses, crepe myrtles, grasses and palms. Your roses, no matter the variety, will thank you for a hard pruning. All shrub varieties such as knockouts and grandifloras can be pruned down to 12” above the crown. Climbing roses will benefit from pruning them by half. A monthly dose of organic fertilizer applied from April to September will go a long way to help your roses avoid problems throughout the season. You can help protect your roses from deer by planting society garlic and other smelly and Susan fragrant plants nearby. Stone The pruning of crepe myrtles has been at the center of controversy among gardeners for generations. To prune or not to prune is the question. Many who prune them into arthritic knuckles are accused of crepe murder! The truth is that crepe myrtles bloom on new growth. If you have an older specimen that isn’t blooming, it’s time to cut it back. Hard pruning will help to keep it the “right size” for your landscape. All grasses, including muhly, pampas and cord grass can be sheared to 12 to 24 inches. Liriope and mondo grass can be cut to inches above the ground. Many of the tender grasses such as fountain grass may not come back after such a cold winter. Muhly grass is considered a semi-tender grass. Those beautiful soft pink plumes have become very popular in Southern landscapes, but will only be viable for three to five years before they run out of steam and need to be replaced. Those poor palms! Most of them are going to be just fine, but they need to be cut back if they are going to look good this season. Whatever is brown will never turn green again, so cut away. You may need a professional to climb and prune the tall ones. When it comes to prevention, most palms are on their own due to their size, but sago palms can be spared by protecting their hearts with an old towel or wadded up sheet. As for the shrubbery, leave the azaleas alone until they have finished blooming. You will have until the first of July to get to them. After that they will start setting their buds for the following spring. Varieties such as loropetalum, ligustrum, viburnum, pineapple guava, hollies and boxwoods, go ahead and prune away. This is a good time of year to do some shaping and re-sizing. Many of our landscape plants need to be rejuvenated from time to time. Be brave, you really can’t hurt them. If they’re really big and need to be half their size, use a pruning saw. I recommend hand pruning. It takes a little longer, but doesn’t “chew” the plant. Clean cuts will keep your plants healthier. And speaking of clean, make sure your tools are sharp and clean as well. You do not want to spread fungus or disease from plant to plant. If you suspect a problem, spray or wipe down

your tools with a weak bleach solution. The exceptions to hand pruning would be boxwoods, privets, yaupon holly and other tiny leafed shrubs. They thrive on being sheared. As an organic gardener myself, I am concerned about the amount of chemicals we use in our landscapes. We live in a very environmentally sensitive area, not to mention the effects of these chemicals on our own heath. The next time you are tempted to reach a jug of Round-up, try this recipe instead. You will need 1 gallon white vinegar, 1 cup pickling salt and 1 cup cheap dish soap. Mix together in a pump sprayer (make sure you dissolve the salt. Warning: Do not spray this on anything you don’t want to kill! Happy Gardening! Susan Stone is a Garden Guru and Manager for Outdoor Architecture.

ARTworks ‘Let the Good Times Roll!’ at Mardi Gras Gala By Lanier Laney

A fun time was had by the more than 80 people who attended the ARTworks annual Mardi Gras Gala fundraiser at the Dataw Island Club this past weekend. The event, spearheaded by Claudette Humphrey, raises money to nurture arts organizations, educators, artists, and students with their many programs in Beaufort County. Laura Maxey, managing director of the Arts Council Board, said, “Kudos to the members of the Arts Council board, and especially Claudette Humphrey, for all of their hard work and dedication to this event. Some of our dedicated volunteers include Jeremy and Jen Haden and Wendy and Terry Brennen. In a season and an area where so many different charitable organizations are vying for patrons and sponsors, our board members and volunteers pulled together a spectacular event. And also many thanks to the local artists and businesses who donated items for the silent auction.” Special thanks to 94.5 The Coast radio station, which was a sponsor, as well as the great band Promise and the chefs at Dataw who made jambalaya and other great nibbles. Committee members this year who put on the successful event were: Claudette Humphrey, Jean Norton-Torjussen, Deanna Bowdish, Joel Garrett, Greg Rawls, Veronica Miller, Jack Russell, Susan DeFoe and Melissa Florence. Here are some pics for you from Richard Darby.

love in motion dragana pavic-zappia projects

By Lanier Laney

he first time I saw Dragana Pavic-Zappia, I was standing behind her and her daughter in the check-out line at Publix on Lady’s Island. Her daughter was worried because she still hadn’t gotten her mom a Mother’s Day present. Dragana said to her “I don’t need a present sweetheart, you are my gift.” And then she hugged her. After that, whenever I would see her — at City Java or elsewhere — she would always give me a big joyous smile, even though she didn’t know me. There was always a feeling of peace around her. Later on, I found out she was a yoga teacher who had taken over Kim Chech’s studio in the Lady’s Island Marina and that she had an unusual name and was from Eastern Europe. I wondered how she ended up here in Beaufort. Here is my interview with her: What is your name and title? “Dragana Pavic-Zappia, body and energy worker, yoga teacher and owner at ONE Yoga Sanctuary.” Where were you born and raised? “Vrbas, Yugoslavia. I was born in the country once called Yugoslavia; in my heart it still is the Union and Brotherhood of Serbs, Croats and Slovenians. Today, my country is called Serbia.” What led to your current occupation? “At the age of 21 I moved to Greece to find ME. I met my new family which introduced me to teachings of Osho and I joined Osho Kirtan and meditation Centre in Athens. I enrolled in Athens University of Economics and Businesses simply to be able to stay and live in Greece on a student visa. I graduated in 2001 with a Bachelors degree in Marketing and Public relations. What guided me to yoga was I discovered in a magazine an article with the title “How to stay young forever.” One page described what is called “Sun Salutations” and yoga poses to stay young forever. I decided from there on, until I died I would do one backbend a day. This led to a devoted practice of backbends every night before bed.” What led to your interest in your area of work? “I met my mother-in-law, friend and artist Olga Stamatiou in Greece in 1999; she is a tremendous inspiration. She introduced me to committed practice of yogic arts. Seeing her and the way she practiced yoga opened my eyes and mind to what our bodies are capable of, at any given time, and what dedicated practice can do for our body and mind. Olga introduced me to Kim Cech, the founder of Yoga Chandra Center for the Healing Arts, whom I connected with instantly. Kim was my mentor, teacher and friend for 10 years. Kim’s teachings of yoga as art, and her trust, kindness and belief in me as a young teacher has given me the freedom to express and teach from my heart, and share the teachings of my body’s experience. I am fascinated with our bodies as microcosmos. I am fascinated with the way simple, small changes of habits in our bodies can lead to changes in our mind’s habits — and vise versa. Knowing that conscious, committed spiritual practice is a simple and effective way to change our life!” How did you meet your husband? “I met my beloved husband Matt in Athens, Greece, New Years Eve 1999. We celebrated the entry to 21st Century, we kissed at midnight. We kissed after midnight as well, and loved each other ever since.” What is your husband’s occupation? “Matthew was an art and sculpture major at Maine College of Art. He has worked at the Beaufort Alarm

and Sounds systems for the last eight years. He is also a graphic designer, he designed the logo for One Yoga Sanctuary, amongst many other marvelous creations.” Do you have any children? “In 2008, Matt and I were blessed with our daughter, Luciana Luna Pavic Zappia. She currently attends Bridges Preparatory School.” Do you have any special schooling or training? “My first energy work training took place in Athens, Greece, with Deva Svarno as a Reiki Practitioner in 1996. I apprenticed and studied yoga and healing arts with Kim Cech in Beaufort since 2004. I learned the Feng Shui Flying Star Method and Form School Method Consultant Training from 2002 to 2005 with Feng Shui Master Jill Hale and many others. I earned Nia Teacher Training in 2009, Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training in 2010, and have hundreds of hours of training and hands-on practice in Thai Yoga Bodywork.” How did you find out about Beaufort? “My husband’s parents — Rocco Zappia and Olga Stamatiou — lived in Beaufort, and Matthew and I visited them a couple of times in 2003. At the time, Matthew was a vice president of Seewall Child LLC, founded by Olga. We moved to Beaufort in 2004 from Portland, Maine.” What do you like most about Beaufort and Beaufortonians? “It’s a relatively slow way of living; it reminds me a bit of my life in Greece. I love the climate, the charm and hospitality of this small town. I have always been fortunate to meet and live with the kindest, remarkable people wherever I moved. Beaufort is home now, people here make it so. I love being “stuck” on the bridge! I love Hunting Island Beach. I love water! I love live oak trees and Spanish moss. Nature is so intense here.” Where else have you worked in Beaufort? “I worked for Island Residential Construction as an architectural designer from 2005 until last year when I decided that I wanted to become a full time yoga teacher and body worker. In 2004, I worked for thenNew Point Corner Store as a store manager, and before that I worked briefly for a store called Nest.” What is the philosophy behind your work? “Elevate one and all. Every action needs to feel effortless, natural and joyful. If there is no joy, something needs to be changed. Joy, when found, needs

Work is my sacred livelihood. I want my mind to be blown away: yoga does that!” How would you describe your business? “One Yoga Sanctuary is one sacred, conscious, healing arts community. It does not feel like a business; it feels like coming home. I am blessed and grateful to be part of one family and especially to be in the company of kind, loving, tremendously experienced, talented and creative teachers. Our mantra is ‘Recognize the Other Person is You.’ Our students seek inner peace, joy, release, exercise, relaxation, increased flexibility, healing and a supportive community. There is something for every body. I think of the business as a family with high consciousness and deep respect for each other and those we work with and serve. Our students have chosen us for a reason. We inspire, teach and elevate each other and see each other perfect just the way we are. Every relationship I establish is like the philosophy behind my work — it ought to be effortless and joy filled.” Is there anything surprising about the work you do? Something you weren’t expecting? “Part of my practice is to have no expectations! I constantly get reminded — whether it is my loving family, my friends, colleagues, yoga class or Thai Yoga Body work — that with a very small amount of effort, big results are possible. Our bodies and our minds have tremendous power to self heal. With a very small amount of effort, we can feel better, elevated and positively influence people and world we live in, with commitment and simple acts of kindness and service. The practice and teaching of yoga is easy in the studio environment; the true Yoga is living the life as practice, as meditation, as conscious expression every step.” What are your plans for the future? “Change on the horizon is the one and only inevitable constant. I prepare for change by practicing the Art of Doing Nothing, which in essence is the Art of Being Present. I make minimal plans, I live in the unfolding of now. It is all planned for us, and in divine order!”

Tessa Lark returns to Beaufort for chamber concert Everyone who was in the audience clapping wildly following Tessa Lark’s 2013 debut performance in Beaufort will want to be in the same spot at the USCB Center for the Arts on Sunday, March 9 at 5 p.m. The 2012 Naumberg International Violin Competition winner will join Erin Keefe, violin and viola; Kurt Muroki, double bass; Pedja Muzijevic, piano; and cellist and host Edward Arron for a wonderfully varied program of music by chamber music icons Rossini, Bartok, Schubert and contemporary American Mark O’Connor. The classical music world has had its share of prodigies — Mozart comes immediately to mind. But Rossini was no late bloomer, as you will hear in his charming Sonata No. 3 in C Major for string quartet. Writing at the advanced age of

12 while on summer holiday, he composed the piece for the instruments he had at hand — two violins, cello, and bass. The quartet is coated with the sheen of youth but Rossini’s innate feel for drama hints that this is a musical personality destined for the theater. Hungarian Béla Bartók, one of the 20th century’s greatest composers, was also an avid collector of his country’s folk music and adapted many songs and dances for instrumental performance. His set of six Romanian Folk Dances, for violin and piano, is filled with exotic character and irregular rhythms, while their mood ranges from hauntingly lyrical to exuberant. The concert concludes with one of the most beloved pieces in the repertoire, Schubert’s Quintet in A Major, “Trout”. Written in the afterglow of a delightful summer

Tessa Lark, violin.

Edward Arron, cello and host.

holiday, the quintet is brimming with good-natured friendship, bathed in sunshine and the spirit of youth, and perfectly suited to the intimate nature of chamber music fellowship. The American violinist Mark O’Connor, through talent, hard work, and good luck, has become a virtual musical industry unto

himself. He is a cross-over fiddle player, composer, educator, and winner of awards and prizes. He will be represented by the hauntingly beautiful Appalachia Waltz for Violin, Cello, and Bass. This work gained O’Connor widespread recognition as a leading proponent of a new American idiom. The composer

explains the work’s appeal: “If it’s played for folk musicians, they most often think its classical music. When played for classical musicians, they most often think of it as folk music.” In this concert, the instruments as well as the artists and the music are of particular note. The string performers — violinists Erin Keefe and Tessa Lark, bassist Kurt Muroki, and cellist-host Edward Arron — are young artists playing on old instruments. Their violins and bass pre-date every piece on the program and the cello hails from the 19th century. For more information about the artists and program, go to www.uscb.edu/festivalseries. For tickets, contact Staci Breton at 843-208-8246 or sjbreton@ uscb.edu. Tickets will also be sold at the door at 4 p.m. the day of the concert.

Fiennes, Felicity Jones amd Kristin Scott Thomas, “The Invisible Woman” was at Telluride Film Festival 2013, Toronto International Film Festival 2013 and New York Film Festival 2013. Ralph Fiennes shines as novelist Charles Dickens, who had a secret affair with 18-year-old actress Nelly Ternan (Felicity Jones). Dickens was 45 and at the top of his fame when he met the beautiful young actress. Her mother (Kristin Scott Thomas) encouraged Nelly to welcome the interest of such a famous man, even if she can never become his wife. They embark on an affair, lasting 13 years until his death, that must always remain secret, forcing Nelly to hide her deepest feelings in “invisibility.” The film will be at USCB Center for the Arts, 801 Carteret Street, on Monday, March 10 at 7 p.m. River of Words: In celebration of national Youth Art Month, ARTworks is displaying the River of Words, a county-wide project in which students link the study of ecology with art and poetry, all of which reflects children’s understanding of our local watershed.

L’eggo my Breggo, a California Chardonnay By Celia Strong

Has anyone noticed how many bottles of Chardonnay we all seem to buy and drink? Although we don’t talk about it too much, our featured wine this week is a Chardonnay from California that is definitely worthy of discussion. So, we go to Mendocino County in California. This is an appellation, designated as such on labels, which is actually a part of the much larger North Coast AVA. Mendocino County has some of the most diverse climate conditions of any wine producing area. There are, in fact, two distinct climate zones, and 10 separate designated AVAs within Mendocino County. Also, with nearly 25 percent of the grape growing land farmed organically, Mendocino has been called “California’s organic wine Mecca.” (We must remember, the term “organic” refers to the grape growing process, not actually to the wine.) Most of the vineyards in the county are planted in the eastern side. The most well known AVA of Mendocino County is the Anderson Valley. This is one of the coolest growing regions in the state, with cool Pacific fogs coming off the coast. In the 1980’s, the success of Roederer Estate, the Anderson Valley branch of the French Champagne house Louis Roederer, led to others planting Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in the area for other sparkling wines and still wines also. Success with Riesling and Gewurztraminer followed. The Anderson Valley is about 10 miles long, has over 20 types of alluvial soils, and has steep hills that range in elevation from 800 to 1,300 feet. Most of the vineyards are planted on the slopes of these hills, very few on the valley floor. The early European settlers to the Anderson Valley came after 1850. These settlers practiced subsistence farming and expanded into resource extraction economies based on timber and livestock. (Redwood trees are all over the hills.) In 1880, with 1,000 people living in the valley, there were 75,000 sheep and 20,000 cattle. The first steam powered lumber mill was built in 1877. Before the turn of the century, apples

The Breggo Chardonnay 2011, while it’s still Breggo, is a blend of grapes from the Savoy Vineyard and the Ferrington Vineyard, both owned by Lede Family Wines. This was a cool vintage year in northern California, perfect for the varieties growing in the Anderson Valley. and hops became successful, and the 1940’s and 1950’s were boom years in the valley. By the 1960’s, sheep, timber and apples had all started to decline. But, the first commercial vineyards were planted. It seems, too, as new people moved into the area about this time, that marijuana production flourished. But, the wine boom came in the 1980s, and the industry became the biggest in the area’s economy. Of course, the hospitality industry followed. Today, quality hotels and restaurants, art and craft galleries, musicians, writers all prosper. And wine lovers flock to them all, spending a lot of money. Now, on to our grape — Chardonnay. This green-skinned variety, originally from the Burgundy region of France, is grown around the world in every wine producing country. The grape itself is very neutral, many of the flavors usually associated with its wines coming from the soil where it is grown and the oak

used in making or aging the wines. Its wines can range from clean, crisp and minerally to oaky with tropical fruit flavors (a brief description of Old World vs New World Chardonnay wines). The popularity of Chardonnay peaked in the late 1980s, thanks in part to its huge success in California. As of 2006, there are 34 clones of Chardonnay. So growers and winemakers around the world choose the ones best suited for their soil and climate and for the style of wine they want to make. Fortunately, Chardonnay adapts well to different conditions and it is a vigorous vine. It has a lot of large leaves, but aggressive pruning keeps them at bay to avoid too little sun and warmth on the grapes. Chardonnay vines produce their best grapes in chalk, clay and limestone soils, and alluvial soils — you know, like in Anderson Valley. The winery this week, Lede Family Wines, was established in 2002, with 60 acres in the Stags Leap District in Napa. There, they make a Cabernet Sauvignon, a Sauvignon Blanc and their “flagship” wine, Poetry. After years of success with Cliff Lede wines in Napa, Cliff found himself more and more interested in Pinot Noir, especially Anderson Valley Pinot Noir. In 2009, Lede acquired Breggo Cellars

in the Anderson Valley. Two years later, they got the famed Savoy Vineyard in the AVA. For our Chardonnay this week, these wines are still labeled with the Breggo name. As of March 1, 2014 (yep, just this past Saturday), Breggo Cellars was re-branded as FEL Wines. FEL stands for Florence Elsie Lede, the initials of Cliff ’s mother, who was responsible for his love of good wine. The Breggo Chardonnay 2011, while it’s still Breggo, is a blend of grapes from their Savoy Vineyard and their Ferrington Vineyard. This was a cool vintage year in northern California. Perfect for the varieties growing in the Anderson Valley. A cold spring was followed by heavy rains in June, but July, August and September — the heart of the grape growing season — were warm with even temperatures. The harvest lasted exceptionally late, into November, due to the coolness earlier in the year. The Savoy Vineyard is 44 acres, is located close to the center of the valley, and is planted with Dijon and Heritage clones. The Ferrington Vineyard is 70 acres with south facing slopes where grapes are ripened in the afternoon sunshine to full rich flavors. The Breggo Anderson Valley Chardonnay is pressed from whole clusters in stainless steel tanks. After settling for 24 hours, the juice is fermented in French oak with limited malolactic fermentation allowed. The wine is aged, “sur lie,” in 60 gallon neutral French oak barrels. The finished wine is full of coolclimate flavors that include flint, crushed rock (both the now popular minerality), and lemon zest. Honey, bergamot and chamomile add complexity. Orange marmalade, toasted bread with crisp acidity sparkle in the flavors, along with grapefruit and white peach. A perfect wine for shellfish and more. Possibly, one of the most excellent Chardonnays we will taste this year. All those layers of flavors and textures and complexities would usually come with a $30 to $35 dollar price tag, but you can get it at Bill’s Liquor for only $21.99. Enjoy.

lunch bunch A dazzling array of delicious sushi combinations designed to delight at By Pamela Brownstein

SUSHI SAKANA

For sushi lovers, there are few places that can satisfy that craving for fresh seafood and rolls like Sushi Sakana, located off Parris Island Gateway in the Bi-Lo shopping center in Port Royal. The Lunch Bunch started with the Sakana Leaf appetizer, which has a beautiful presentation on a glass platter with colorful drizzling of special sauce and shaped like a flower. The spicy crab, shrimp and tuna combination on the inside is surrounded by large pieces of avocado. It was so amazing that Irene and I couldn’t even wait to use our chopsticks — we used our forks, and still couldn’t get enough of this dish. It was seriously delicious. Our second appetizer was the Salmon Tartar, which was light and wonderful. A trip to Sushi Sakana would not be complete without trying one of their warm rolls, which comes wrapped in foil with the flame still going underneath when it is brought to your table. We were treated to the elaborate Lowcountry Roll that includes crab and white tuna tempura on the inside and is topped with salmon, mozzarella and cheddar cheese and special sauce. This roll just melts in your mouth with goodness. When our server brought out a trio of

Clockwise from above: A trio of specialty rolls: Johnny Roll, Sam and Jam Roll, the Police Roll; The friendly and talented staff at Sushi Sakana; Sakana Leaf; the Lowcountry Roll; and Salmon tartar.

specialty rolls — the Johnny, the Police, and the Sam and Jam — our eyes lit up because they looked so tempting. The Johnny Roll packs a punch with spicy tuna, jalapeños, avocado, cream cheese, torched salmon and eel sauce. The Police Roll has shrimp tempura, bacon, cream cheese and avocado and is topped with eel sauce, potato sticks and crushed almonds. For those, like me, who love a good crunch, this roll rocks. The Sam and Jam tastes like dessert with a unique combination of shrimp tempura, cream cheese, apples, fried

bananas and topped with mango, eel sauce and a dusting of crushed almonds. The unexpected sweetness of the banana and the fresh, bright tropical flavor of the mango create an outstanding roll that you won’t soon forget. Kudos to the owners and staff for their culinary creativity and friendly service. Sushi Sakana is at 860 Parris Island Gateway, Suite C-1, Port Royal. It is open Monday through Friday, 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., and 4:30 to 9:30 p.m.; Saturday, 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., 4:30 to 9:30 p.m. Call 843-379-5300 for take-out.

Learn about canine behavior with Tracie Korol or adopt a furry friend

What’s in a word? By Tracie Korol

When it comes to describing a healthier life — for us and our dogs — we are encouraged to participate in a new vocabulary to remain current with rising trends. Both people and animal doctors are trending toward concierge medicine, a trend that forces us to decode buzz words like natural, human-grade, holistic and organic, and my own personal pet peeve, wellness. For instance, dog owners will maintain they feed their dogs a kibble that is made of human-grade ingredients — because it says so on the label. Here’s the problem with that: humangrade dog food does not exist. Due to the vagaries of the federal government, we just don’t know what that actually means. Once meat, originally intended for humans, leaves a slaughterhouse in a truck bound for a pet food factory, it immediately becomes “inedible” for human consumption. Food material meant for humans is under jurisdiction of the FDA; once it leaves the plant, it belongs to the USDA; it has its own set of rules. The USDA does not inspect pet food manufacturing plants and procedures therefore cannot guarantee that the processing of the food meets human standards. Anything could happen in there, and it does. Terms like holistic, premium, organic and natural have also become extremely popular marketing vernacular in the pet food industry of late, as well. There is

no legal definition to support the use of those kinds of words, either. From the FDA: “From a food science perspective, it is difficult to define a food product that is ‘natural’ because the food has probably been processed and is no longer the product of the earth. That said, FDA has not developed a definition for use of the term natural or its derivatives.” So, it appears these descriptors were created solely to inflate the value of the pet product for marketing purposes. Natural (and it’s derivatives natura, nutro, natural >insert happy word<) implies a safe, healthy, nutritious food, but there’s no legal definition of the word, so a food containing arsenic and ear wax — both of which are natural — could be sold as “100% natural.” A manufacturer gets to use the word organic if it meets the strict requirements of the USDA’s National Organic Program. At least 95 percent of the ingredients must be organically grown or cultivated without the addition of synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. Therefore, all the beef, or chicken, or

wheat, rice and whatever that the dog food contains must be organic. If a dog food contains at least 70 percent organic ingredients, the label can say, “Made with Organic Ingredients.” What the other 30 percent is is up for grabs. These foods cannot carry the coveted “USDA Organic” green and white label. Given, too, that most pet food companies are now subsidiaries of multi-national corporations — for instance, Procter and Gamble own Iams and Eukanuba. Mars owns Kal Kan, Mealtime, Pedigree, Walthams, Sheba, and Nutro — how much do you trust that organic on the package means anything? And then there’s wellness. The word first appeared in the 1600’s as a counter to ill-ness. Now, that makes sense. Unfortunately, it took a turn

when Dr. Halbert L. Dunn introduced the concept of wellness, referring to a lifestyle approach that pursued elevated states of physical and psychological wellbeing, in a series of lectures he gave at the Unitarian Church in Arlington, Virginia in the late 1950s. He described it as a “disciplined commitment to selfmastery.” Hardly what we think of as wellness today. Of late, the term has gotten mishmashed in with holistic health, disease prevention, health education and health promotion, hair care, massage, spa, exercise and fitness, stress management, critical thinking, spirituality, effective relationships and yes, dog food. It’s a marketer’s dream word; it means everything and nothing, but we want it. Human and animal docs are turning toward the “wellness” approach to practice. Does that mean anything more than selling supplements and suggesting you take a walk? Next time you hear a practitioner use that word, or see it appear on his sign or his brochure, or watch him re-make his practice in a wellness model, ask him what he means. I wager he’ll scramble for a definition.

Happy rail trails At a ground breaking ceremony on Thursday, Sept. 13, a crowd of local officials, community leaders and bicycle enthusiasts gathered at the site of the old Depot Building off Depot Road in Beaufort to commemorate the start of construction on the Spanish Moss Trail. As Beaufort Mayor Billy Keyserling noted, making the trail a reality was the result of public and private groups working together for a cause that will promote healthy activity and benefit the community. Weston Newton also praised the trail as a way to showcase the beauty of our natural resources. The first section is scheduled to be complete by Thanksgiving.
