Beating the Odds

Robot-assisted surgery offers local prostate cancer patient long-term results Hugh Davis never gave much thought to his prostate. The walnut-shaped gland — known to wreak havoc on the lives of men 40 and older — hadn’t caused him any trouble. But when two of his siblings began developing prostate issues, he decided not to take any chances. Every six months without fail, Davis went to his urologist for a PSA screening, a simple blood test used to look for signs of prostate cancer in men. “My brothers’ prostate issues made me more diligent about getting checked,” Davis says. “I started to get tested regularly

SEPTEMBER IS PROSTATE CANCER AWARENESS MONTH Prostate cancer continues to be the second most common cause of cancer deaths in men in the United States. One man in six will get prostate cancer during his lifetime. Most urologists still recommend PSA testing for patients 55 to 69, especially African American men who are nearly 1.6 times more likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer than Caucasian men and 2.4 times more likely to die from the disease. Be sure to discuss PSA testing with your doctor.

Hugh Davis

just to be sure.” Davis was in his mid40s when he began having the twice-a-year screenings. It was all good until the spring of 2013, when his PSA level came back higher than normal. A biopsy confirmed he had cancer.

“I knew there was a slight chance I could develop cancer because of my family history,” the 69-year-old retired Beaufort attorney says. “But I had no symptoms. It was a shock to hear the words.” PATIENT continued on page 5

notes from Lady’s Island

By Jim Hicks

New housing development In 2009, the property owner of a 27.12 acre section of land located on the east side of Little Capers Road, between Holly Hall and Fairfield Road, applied to develop the land as the Crossroad Subdivision under “by right” authority. The term “by right” simply means that since the property in question is zoned Lady’s Island Community Preservation, which allows construction of two homes per acre, the property owner “by right” of this zoning can divide his property into a maximum of 54 lots. The Beaufort County Development Review Team approved the subdivision in June 2010 with the requirement that it include commercial water and sewer. But the new home market crashed in 2010 and no development occurred at the property until recently. The site is now being cleared in preparation

for development.

Buses, safety and Sams Point Road School is back in session and approximately 4,000 students are traveling Lady’s Island roads each week day. Many of those students will travel by school buses. Please remember that in South Carolina, if you are traveling behind a school bus with a flashing red or amber light the law requires you stop if the bus stops. If you are traveling on a two lane road and meet a stopped school bus with its flashing red lights, you must come to full stop and remain stopped until the bus begins forward motion again. If you are on a four-lane road, such as Sams Point Road, and you meet a stopped school bus, you do not have to stop. Regardless of the fact that the law no longer requires stopping on four-lane roads, drivers should slow down and proceed with caution.

enter the ‘it can wait’ writing contest The S.C. Press Association and participating S.C. newspapers are challenging Palmetto State high school students to write an essay, editorial or opinion column that highlights the dangers of texting while driving. The statewide winner will receive a $500 prize underwritten by AT&T. Texting while driving is an epidemic. More than 100,000 crashes a year involve drivers who are texting, often causing life-changing injuries and deaths. Texting drivers are 23 times more likely to be in an accident. Despite knowing the risks of texting while driving, 43% of teens admit to texting while driving. However, there is an opportunity to change this behavior. Ninety percent of teen drivers say they would stop if a friend in the car asked them and 78% said they are likely not to text and drive if friends tell them it is wrong. Write an essay, editorial or opinion column that answers the question, “Why is it important to take the it can wait pledge to never text and drive?” Your piece should highlight the dangers of texting while driving. The piece must include the following call to action, “Take the pledge to never text and drive at ItCanWait.com.” Entries should be between 300 and 500 words long and must be typed. Please email entries to theislandnews@gmail.com. The local contest period begins Monday, Sept. 8 and all entries must be sent to The Island News by Oct. 13. Local winners will be announced Oct. 23 and sent to SCPA to compete in the statewide contest. Statewide winner will be announced Nov. 7. The prize will include $500, and a luncheon for the student and his or her parents with the leadership of SCPA, AT&T and The Island News.

New state charter Lowcountry Montessori School opens Once again there is a Montessori school on Lady’s Island. E. C. Montessori operated in the Celadon complex for many years and closed its doors at the end of last school year. Lowcountry Montessori is a new free state chartered, nonprofit school offering an authentic Montessori based program for Kindergarten through 9th grade. At the start of this school year, they had 250 students which for this year is their maximum capacity. By 2017 they hope to have a new facility opened in the Town of Port Royal and be able to offer grades Kindergarten through 12. An interesting aspect of state chartered schools such as Lowcountry Montessori is that since they are chartered by the state, any child in the state of South Carolina may attend the school.

Let it begin with me: Peace, Pax, Shalom, Paz, Salam By Ifetayo White

What if you were challenged to begin a daily peace action practice? What does that mean to you? In a few days we will celebrate the Autumnal Equinox and shift into a natural calming down energy following the exhilaration of summer. It is also a great time to create rituals in our daily routine to keep the vibration of peace alive in us. We are all being able to experience the enormity of separateness, inhumanity and conflict happening in our country and the entire world right now, thanks to the extraordinary speed with which media is able to bring news to us. Leaders and peacemakers worldwide are focused on large-scale solutions to what appears to be the impossible task of creating peace in the world. Compassionate individuals and groups the world over are praying for peace and supporting local and international peace efforts. Yet so many people are yearning for other ways to help. What if we were asked to take personal responsibility for peace in our lives, in

our nation and in the world? We are all being asked to change the vibrations of fear and separation in us to that of peace and oneness. There are a growing Ifetayo number of people White in Beaufort, in our country and everywhere on the planet who have responded to this challenge by adding their energy to the power of One and consciously practicing peace in a deeper way every day. How can I do this, you may ask. How can doing this make a difference? Noted author and minister Robert Fulghum writes, “Peace is not something you wish for, it’s something you make. Something you do. Something you are. And something you give away.” The energy of peace is conscious and active; it is not passive and without movement. Create one or more simple peace action practices that you can commit to and live every day. Because of the

Awakenings

apparent overwhelming energy that we are addressing, it is helpful to not become overwhelmed ourselves by keeping our practice simple. Every act of peace regardless how small adds energy to what is known as the critical mass, the accumulation of experience that creates a new status quo or cultural norm. Remember the days before cell phone usage became the norm! Some of the peace action practices that have been shared with me include finding places in the body and mind that feel a pressure to change someone and learning ways to let go of the tension, adopting “beginner’s mind” when the temptation to stereotype shows up, finding a place

in nature that feels peaceful and sit there, breathing more deeply when awareness of fear of “the other” arises, writing and leaving “Love Notes” around the community, spending time with someone of a different background to get to understand where the similarities live, sending blessings to random people throughout the day, reading stories about the experiences of people who grew up differently or who are from “up there” or “over there”, listening, being grateful for all of life. Enjoy creating your own peace action practices and have fun sharing the energy. Peace ... let it begin with me. Ifetayo White has been a practitioner of the healing arts since 1989. She is a life empowerment coach through the Grandmother Wisdom traditions and offers support to her community through TheraVista and Neesa’s Home on Coffin Point where she shares guided grounding meditation and self-empowerment classes, Reiki training, integrated body-centered therapy, childbirth education, and birth and postpartum doula services.

continued from page 1 In its early stage, prostate cancer is usually asymptomatic. According to the American Cancer Society, it’s most often discovered during routine screenings. Davis had several more tests, including an MRI and bone scan, to determine if cancer cells had spread to other parts of his body. The results showed the cancer was confined to the prostate. His urologist, John Adams, MD, of Coastal Carolina Urology, offered Davis several treatment options — surgery,

radiation or cryotherapy, which involves freezing and killing the cancer cells. Prostate surgery is frequently used to treat localized prostate cancer, particularly for men with a life expectancy of more than 10 years. Surgically removing the entire prostate eradicates the cancer and reduces the chances it will come back. Although preventing recurrence was a priority for Davis, he was reluctant to have open surgery — the traditional approach to prostatectomy. In this operation, the surgeon removes the prostate and some of the tissue around it through a single long incision in the pubic area. Adams recommended Davis meet with fellow Beaufort Memorial urologist

Michael Staley, MD, the only physician in Beaufort County performing robotassisted laparoscopic prostate cancer surgery. “Robotic surgery appealed to me because it offered the best chance of getting rid of the cancer totally with minimal side effects,” Davis says. “If it hadn’t been available, I probably would have gone with radiation therapy or the freezing treatment.” Because Davis was in good health and in his 60s, he was a candidate for the procedure. Using the advanced da Vinci Si Surgical System, the prostate can be removed through several small incisions in the

abdomen, resulting in less blood loss and post-operative pain. Patients are discharged from the hospital the day after surgery and need a catheter for one week. In comparison, open surgery requires a two- to three-day hospital stay and two to three weeks with a catheter. Men can return to their regular activities in 10 days, compared to four to six weeks with the open approach. Davis chose to have the surgery last fall. Since then, his PSA levels have been undetectable, indicating the prostate cancer is gone. “I feel I made the right decision,” he says. “Now that it’s behind me, I don’t have to worry anymore.”

‘I want to buy losers’ I cringe every time I read an article by a value investor that says something like, “You should buy stocks that are on sale, just like you buy (pick your consumer item) on sale.” In the financial markets that can be dangerous. In a great essay titled, “I Want to Buy Losers,” the late Clay Allen of Market Dynamics discusses the problems with this analogy. (You’ve got to read the whole essay to really appreciate it.) Many investors buy stocks the way many consumers buy paper towels or any other staple. They are attracted to a sale and loss leaders are a proven method for a retailer to increase the traffic in their store. The value of the item is well known and a sale price gets the attention of potential buyers.

Mr. Allen explains brilliantly and succinctly why this analogy is bunk: “But stocks are not like paper towels. Paper towels can be used to satisfy a need and Hall this is what gives the Sumner item its value to the consumer. What gives a stock its value? A stock cannot be used to satisfy a need or accomplish a task. The value of a stock is derived from the financial performance of the company, either actual or expected. The fact that the stock is down in price is usually a sure sign that the financial performance of the company is declining.

“...if the value of the stock was constant, then buying bargain stocks would be the correct way to invest in stocks. But stock values are constantly changing as business conditions change for the company and the expectations of investors change.” All in all, it seems to me that relative strength often more closely reflects what the expectations of investors are — and the expectations are what counts. Let’s face it: strong stocks are usually strong because business conditions or fundamentals are good, and weak stocks are usually weak for a reason.

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

animal advice

Canine columnist Tracie Korol cares about the Whole Dog Tracie Korol is probably best known to readers of The Island News for her weekly column about dogs called “BowWOW.” In it, she gives practical advice to common behavioral issues facing our Best Friends — as she likes to call our canine pets — and offers holistic approaches on everything from nutrition and exercise to barking and raising a friendly, well-adjusted dog. Although pets are her passion now, Tracie’s diverse background includes graphic design, retail advertising and being a practicing herbalist. Born in Pittsburgh, she was raised in Johnstown, Pa., and central Ohio. She lived for a long time in New England before moving to the Lowcountry more than six years ago. In that time, she has written more than 300 articles for the paper. Tracie has a BFA in graphic design and an MFA in advertising theory. Her first career was as a graphic designer/art director in Ohio. She also had her own firm for 22 years that specialized in industrial and retail print advertising; she’s designed Happy Meal boxes and international retail signage. She is also certified in canine massage and homeopathy and recently certified in animal nutrition. “The interesting juxtaposition in these two fields is that I used to BE the person writing the copy and putting the pictures on the dog food bags,” Tracie said. “I know first hand that what you’re buying is hardly ever what you think it is. What is on the bag has nothing to do with what’s in the bag.” But she left advertising to literally “go to the dogs” designing, building and operating the first community play boarding kennel in Vermont. It was during this time that she really started to notice changes in the health of the dogs that came to the kennel. “I began to see that my dog friends were beginning to develop odd ailments — lupus, myelin sheath disorder, were getting fatter or were routinely coming with more and more medicines. It was not unusual to have 5 out of any 22 dogs be on prednisone and antibiotics at any given time. The why of it all began to bug me,” she recalls. “I began to study, ask questions, reach out. Mind you, this is pre-internet,” Tracie says. “When I discovered Marty Goldstein in upstate New York, I began to study in earnest and get any certification available.” Marty became her mentor and stressed whole foods, clean water, exercise, homeopathic remedies, herbal supplements, nutraceuticals, acupuncture, chiropractic, massage and energy healing. “Couple that with my already being a practicing herbalist, I made the acquaintance of Randy Kidd who

authored ‘Dr. Kidd’s Herbal Care for Dogs,’ and honed my herbal skills to include animals,” Tracie said. “Along the way I also put myself in front of Richard Pitcairn and Albert Plechner, two of the forerunners in natural animal health, who stress that dogs are what they eat.” Today, she works with a holistic vet in Aiken providing nutritional counseling for dogs with “dis-ease” for local clients who have tried traditional allopathic treatment and still have itchy, ill, badly behaved dogs. She also produces REAL FOOD for dogs — a nutritionally complete frozen food for general health and maintenance made from real fruits, vegetables and hormone-free, antibiotic-free proteins. As an adjunct to that, she also offers home boarding (CouchTime) because some dogs are not suited to kennel — the tinies, the elderly, the medically compromised and the dogs that have no life experience. She believes her yard and many acres provide the best place for a dog to reclaim his inner canine. “I also as serve as personal chef for a number of dogs that have very specific dietary requirements due to very specific medical impairments,” Tracie adds. “And just because, I will coach dog owners with ‘difficult’ pets in how to achieve a good working relationship with their Best Friends.”

Tracie said one of the most interesting aspects about her profession is seeing the difference between a sick dog and a healthy dog, and how rewarding that change can be for everyone. “It is selfishly gratifying to help a dog go from being an uncomfortable, unhappy, unwell, smelly creature to the dog we all want to have — the dog with a sparkle in his eye, a shiny coat, a carefree sense of being, and what I particularly like, an ornery edge — in a relatively short period of time,” she said. “It is gratifying to see the change in owners, too, when they are no longer stressing about endless, exorbitant vet bills and their chronically sick animal. It makes a big difference, spiritually, in people when they feel that they are contributing to the betterment of their pet’s life instead of blindly turning it over to strangers.” When it comes to family, Tracie’s mother, Doris, was a clinical dietician who instilled in her at an early age that you are what you eat. “She’s 91 and feisty, so it’s true,” Tracie adds. Her son Jaren Shafaieh, 30, is a chef at Swank & Swine in Portland, OR, and Tracie said she looks forward to moving out there sometime in the future. But for now she says most of her community efforts are for and in Sheldon, SC. “It’s a pretty hip little place with pretty hip people, all in all,” she said. The philosophy behind her work is simple: “Our dogs hold a very special place in our physical and spiritual lives. They have not hurt us, have not let us down, have not criticized us. At the same time, they are woven into almost every moment of our lives. They are our best teachers of mindfulness: paying attention to their surroundings with a focus we’ll never know, living in a world of scent, movement, and adventure. They feel joy and happiness yet also frustration, fear, anger, disappointment, hunger, pain, discomfort. But they do not carry those stories. (This is the crux.) It is because of this gift to us that we must make their lives more complete. If I can help people understand how easy it is to be mindful and caring toward their dog — through allowing a dog to be a dog, through a diet that will give them the vitality to be the best dog, learning a new way to communicate effectively — in return, I am happy.” Tracie’s goal is to teach more people how easy and how much cheaper it is to feed their Best Friends better food. She will do one-on-ones, group workshops, shopping/teaching expeditions or will just make it for folks who are convinced of the benefit but have no knife skills. Delivery is free.

Democratic rally, fish fry held at Penn Center

bout 200 people turned out at Penn Center on a hot, humid Lowcountry afternoon last weekend to meet and mingle with fellow Democrats and several Democratic candidates, listen to stump speeches, and enjoy some fried fish. Among the candidates who attended the event were Sen. Vincent Sheheen, the gubernatorial nominee who faces Gov. Nikki Haley in the upcoming election; Rep. Bakari Sellers, a 30-year-old four-term state legislator and the nominee for Lt. Governor; and Joyce Dickerson, who will face incumbent Sen. Tim Scott on the November ballot. “We wanted to give folks the opportunity to meet the candidates and get to know where they stand on the issues that matter to the people of Beaufort County,” said St. Helena resident John Glover, one of the organizers of the event. “I feel the event was successful in inspiring people to get involved, but most importantly, encouraging them to vote on November 4.”

many of the qualities that people loved about Reynolds: strong leadership, athletic ability, the respect and friendship of classmates, in addition to maintaining a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.0 during the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades.

County students earn highest possible PASS scores More than 150 Beaufort County students posted the maximum score on 2014 South Carolina PASS standardized tests, more than double last year’s number. The South Carolina Department of Education reports that 152 Beaufort County students earned a maximum score on at least one of the five 2014 PASS sections: math, science, social studies, writing and language arts. “It’s no secret that our student performance has improved dramatically in the last few years, and these students

are keeping that momentum going,” said Superintendent Jeff Moss. “We’re proud of them — and also proud of their teachers and parents — for putting forth their best efforts.” For PASS multiple-choice tests (language arts, math, science, and social studies), a maximum score is awarded to students who answer every question correctly. For the writing tests, maximum scores are awarded to students who answer every multiple-choice question correctly and get all 15 possible points on their written essays.

school briefs 22nd Youth Conference Beaufort High to host will be held Sept. 27 Football Cheer Clinic The 22nd Annual Beaufort County Youth Conference: For Teens By Teens is a one-day conference that will feature workshops on subjects that the youth planners (middle and high school students who attend county schools) selected. This year’s theme is “Stay on Track”. Also there will be free food and free T-shirts for all attendees. This year, Candice Glover, Season 12 “American Idol” winner and a former Beaufort County Youth Conference participant, will make an appearance. Seating will be limited, so pre-registration is highly encouraged. The event will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, September 27, at the Technical College of the Lowcountry, 921 Ribaut Road. It is free and open to children in sixth through 12th grades in Beaufort County. To sign up, call 843-812-4399 or 838-7922.

Students in pre-kindergarten through middle school are invited to learn football cheers, chants, jumps and a dance from Beaufort High cheerleaders during the Fall Football Cheer Clinic Sept. 27 at Beaufort High School. The clinic, held at the high school gym from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., costs $35 for preregistration and $40 at the door. The clinic includes instruction, a cheer clinic T-shirt, group photo and refreshments. Clinic participants will be invited to perform during halftime of the Beaufort High varsity football game Oct. 3. Check-in for the clinic starts at 9:30 a.m. Pre-registration is strongly encouraged because there is limited space.

Last year, 71 Beaufort County students posted maximum scores. “It’s exciting to see that number doubled in just one year,” said Dr. Dereck Rhoads, Chief Instructional Services Officer, “These students have not only met the standards, they have completely mastered them. What a great example they set for all of us. Hard work does pay off!” PASS has three scoring levels, and students are said to have met the state standard if they score at either of the top two levels:

• Exemplary: The student demonstrated exemplary performance in meeting the grade-level standard. • Met: The student met the gradelevel standard. • Not met: The student did not meet the grade-level standard. Long-term performance on PASS has been positive in Beaufort County. Over the six years since PASS tests were first administered, the district’s percentages of students meeting the state standard has improved in 24 of 30 combinations of grade levels and subjects tested.

Afterschool Meal Program offered by YMCA, Walmart The YMCA of Beaufort County is offering an Afterschool Meal Program to help children stay healthy and succeed in school. Through a national partnership between YMCA of the USA and the Walmart Foundation, the program combines learning enrichment activities with physical activity to keep minds and bodies active, while also serving a healthy meal to kids who may otherwise be at risk of hunger when the school day ends. According to the USDA, nearly 50 million Americans – including more than 16 million children and teens under age 18 – live with food insecurity. Through its afterschool program and a grant from the Walmart Foundation, the Y will serve more children through the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)’s Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), which feeds school-aged children during the week, on weekends and during school vacations. This school year, the Y will offer an Afterschool Meal Program at nearly 1,300 locations across the country. “Some students may not know where their next meal will come from when the school day ends, and without proper nourishment it’s hard to focus in school. At the Y, we

are focused on keeping kids wellnourished and engaged in learning when school’s not in session,” said Kaylin Garst, Operations Director, YMCA of Beaufort County. “Thanks to the Walmart Foundation, our Y will be able to do more to address this issue all year long.” As part of a long-time commitment to youth development, the Y nurtures the physical, mental and socialemotional development of youth. Combining play with academic enrichment, YMCA afterschool programs promote creativity, a love for learning, social and emotional development and character building, while complementing lessons learned during the school day.

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

sales&service as general manager of the island news, nikki hardison believes in clients and supporting the business community

Nikki Hardison joined The Island News as general manager at the beginning of the year. In her role, Nikki is responsible for advertising sales, distribution and marketing, and, as she says, “Anything else needed to make sure The Island News continues to be Beaufort’s favorite newspaper!” With dedication and a can-do attitude like that, The Island News’ advertising clients can expect top customer service and attention to detail from Nikki. Before starting her new job, Nikki was the sales associate for The Island News’ sister organization, Beaufort Daily Deals, and she also worked for the Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce. Nikki credits a dispute with a vendor as what led her into outside sales. She was a receptionist for Georgia Coast Realty on St. Simons Island and she was disputing a bill with the owner of The Real Estate Book, a publication where Realtors list properties. The Real Estate Book’s owner must have noticed something he liked in Nikki’s manner as she handled the dispute, because at the end of the conversation he asked her if she was happy with her job. Although she enjoyed her current job, she agreed to meet with The Real Estate Book and soon she was managing the publication for the Brunswick/St. Simons area. Outside sales was obviously Nikki’s niche because she’s spent nearly two decades in the field. She has experience in print, radio and television outside sales.

If it’s unusual for a dispute to lead to a 20-year career, it’s probably even more unusual that Santa Claus led Nikki to The Island News. According to Nikki, “Santa Claus was coming through our neighborhood three years ago and my husband and I couldn’t figure out what was going on. Where we come from, Santa doesn’t drive through your neighborhood on a fire truck. I was taking pictures and my next door neighbor asked me to send them to him so he could put them in the paper. That’s when he introduced himself as Buck

Boone from The Island News.” Not one to pass by an opportunity, Nikki soon emailed Buck, the former general manager of the paper, to ask him about job possibilities and became a sales associate of Beaufort Daily Deals. Nikki believes in working smart, playing hard and making the most of every day. “I get to meet so many incredible people because of what I do for a living,” she says. “If you love what you do, it’s not really work.” “It’s so rewarding how much people love our newspaper,” Nikki says with a

smile. “They cannot wait to get it every week and read it cover to cover. People in Beaufort are proud to have a local newspaper that is concerned with what goes on in our community.” Nikki is eager to help launch new specialty pages in The Island News that will allow even the smallest businesses to advertise and reach a larger audience. In addition, she sees expanding The Island News’ readership and helping grow the paper is part of her responsibility to serve her customers. The Brunswick, Ga., native is married to Bubba Hardison and they have three adult children and one grandson. Dalton 23, lives in Beaufort and works for Carolina Air; Halley, 22, is mom to 2-year-old Brayden, lives in Brunswick and is in nursing school; and Michael, 21, is a Marine stationed at Camp Lejeune in Jacksonville, N.C. Nikki attended the College of Coastal Georgia but she says emphatically that she’s a huge Georgia Bulldogs fan. She has been a Chamber of Commerce volunteer in Brunswick and Beaufort for approximately 15 years. She’s also involved in the Beaufort Chapter of Business Networking International (BNI) and is a member of the current class of Leadership Beaufort. In her free time she enjoys traveling and deer hunting with her husband (bow hunting is her preference) and she looks forward to hunting season every year.

arts&entertainment the indie film corner: ‘canopy’

The USCB Center for the Arts presents the film “Canopy” on Monday, Sept. 22 at 7 p.m. Directed by Aaron Wilson, this English film is set in Singapore, February 9, 1942. The Japanese invasion is under way. Jim (Khan Chittenden), an Australian fighter pilot, wakes up dangling from a tree by his parachute strings somewhere in the middle of a vast jungle overrun

by hostile forces. As night devours day, he forges into the danger he must navigate in search of sanctuary when he encounters a Singapore-Chinese resistance fighter, Seng (Mo Tzu-Yi), who, injured and frightened, also seeks to survive their tenuous surroundings and common enemy. The men realize that their only hope of persevering lies with each other as their journey begins

the exploration of the collision of war, nature and its impact on humanity. Tickets are $7 for adults, $6 seniors, and $7 for students. The Center for the Arts is located at 801 Carteret Street, Beaufort, SC, 29902. Contact the box office at 843-521-4145 or email bhargrov@uscb.edu or visit www.uscbcenterforthearts.com.

ARTworks to feature young, local rappers It’s not every day that you come across a high school age rapper who can command the stage. On Friday, Sept. 19, ARTworks will introduce two. Young local performer Trey Nelson, aka “Finesse,” hails from St. Helena Island. He describes himself as a “writer, poet, and actor who tries to put all aspects of these skills into his music.” He chose the stage name “Finesse” because he feels that it describes a combination of style and skill that he puts into all of his performances. Although he only started making music in the summer of 2012, with the release of an amateur mix tape, Trey has expanded his “brand” to websites ReverbNation, audiomack and YouTube, and a few of his tracks can be downloaded from iTunes, Google Play, or streamed on Spotify.

Clearly, this is a young man going places, but what is he all about? Like many young people, Trey is a hardcore idealist in Trey Nelson, the best way aka Finesse possible. In a blog post titled “The State of Hip Hop ... Through My Eyes,” he laments the downfall of hip hop which, in his words “became a marketable scheme that we allowed the ‘Man’ or in this case ‘Men’ to get their greedy little hands on. And from then on out it was a slow and painful decline of lyricist with simple trends just coming

and going away as if rappers were seasons.” When asked to describe what makes his own music special, Trey says “a huge part of my music/philosophy is knowledge and empowerment. You hear the same things over and over on the radio, and I just can’t listen to that, so I make my own music. My music is positive to listen to, it makes sense.” Performing onstage with Trey will be Christopher Bacon, a senior at Beaufort High. Although young, he is already a hip-hop artist and producer. His music is faster paced than Trey’s old school hip-hop influenced sound. Every note in Chris’ music is self-made, and his words seem to strike the air with force and a relentless beat. Although rap and hip hop have

sometime been given a bad name as attracting and instigating violent crowds, these performers actively go against the stereotype. Instead, they focus on empowering young people to think about the world around them and be a positive force for change. Mahatma Gandhi said, “Be the change that you wish to see in the world” and these teens are doing just that, leading by example and dedication to their craft while inspiring others through music. The show takes place Friday, September 19 at 7 p.m., at ARTworks located in Beaufort Town Center on Boundary Street. Tickets are $10 for ages 16 and up and $5 for ages 15 and under. Advance ticket sales at the $10 level are available at www.beaufortcountyarts. com or by calling 379-2787.

$70 for dogs and cats aged 7+ years.

Simple reflections on wet sand, backlit sunlight highlighting a person crossing the street, children playing at the beach, all fill Patricia with delight. Her desire to tell these imagined stories in visual form led her to Boston University’s School of Fine Arts in the early 1970s. Following completion of a Bachelor’s of Fine Art in painting, she remained involved in creative pursuits working as a designer and commercial artist until she began a career in law enforcement. In 2012, Patricia moved from New England to South Carolina and currently resides on St. Helena Island. The exhibit of Patricia Walsh’s art begins Monday, Sept. 15 and continues through October 25.

Ham radio license course in October open to all Would you like to have been part of the ONLY communications out of New Orleans for the first three days after hurricane Katrina? Would you like to talk to other amateur operators anywhere in the world by radio? Would you like to serve your community during special events by providing communication? Would you like to talk to the Space Station? All these things and more are open to Amateur Radio license holders, or Hams, for short. Your local Amateur Radio Club, the Beaufort Radio Amateur Group or BRAG (www.beaufortradio.com) will be giving free classes plus the license examination over four Saturdays in October at a location across the street from Beaufort Memorial Hospital. People from age 7 to 97 have earned their amateur licenses. There are roughly 2 million amateurs in the world, with some 700,000 in the United States. There are three classes of license: Technician, General and Extra. The first level is the entry level and allows

operating privileges on a number of frequency bands. The second level allows operation on all bands and all modes; the last has some additional privileges. In order to get a license, you have to know both sufficient technical information and the FCC regulations that apply to Ham radio. The necessary information for each class is contained in study guides called License

Manuals which are put out by the American Radio Relay League, our major association (www.arrl.org). Each class of license has its own license manual. (An up-to-date manual is required for the class.) The course in October will consist of three classes, your study in between and then the fourth Saturday will be the technician license exam. Classes are from 1 to 2 p.m. with time after each class for questions and discussion. There is a license exam fee of $15 but the license itself is free and is renewable every 10 years. So no matter what your age, background or interest, whether technical — such as working the amateur satellites that are up — or social, talking to other Hams all over the city, state, country or world, come along and sign up for the course. You’ll meet the most remarkably varied group of people you might imagine. For information, contact David Jennings at dbjennings@embarqmail.com or Paul Grayce at k3llh@arrl.net.

Grab a Stetson and holler ‘Yeehaw,’ it’s time for Boots & Bling On Saturday, Sept. 20 at The Shed in Port Royal, folks within the community will step into their boots, throw on some sparkly bling and come together in support of one of most beloved organizations in northern Beaufort County — the Wardle Family YMCA of Beaufort County. Yes, it’s time for the 5th Annual Boots & Bling Fundraiser and Silent Auction. Downhome and uptown collide at this fun event where cowgirl boots and big jewelry are the recommended attire and cactus juice is the signature drink. Popular local band Shark Rodeo will provide plenty of tunes for shaking your groove-thang — expect some line dancing too! Bodacious “grub” prepared by over a dozen local restaurants and eateries provide just the perfect sustenance required to cut a rug all evening long. And at this South by Southwest-themed celebration, no one will go thirsty — there’ll be plenty of wine, beer, soda and the aforementioned Cactus Juice available at the two bars. This unforgettable evening of unlimited food, live entertainment, dancing and unique silent auction items benefits the YMCA of Beaufort’s capital campaign. “The funds raised during Boots & Bling go directly toward capital improvements at our facility,” said YMCA CEO Mike Bostwick. “We will be resurfacing our main indoor pool. Since this pool is so large and deep, the

cost is around $80,000. We hope to make a sizable dent in that dollar figure at Boots & Bling!” This year, in addition to the silent auction, there will be a pre-event raffle for a 2010 EZ-GO electric golf cart. The golf cart has a new windshield, new tires, new batteries, seats 4, and features a 19mile per hour chip and front headlight so it is road ready. Rob Averill, Boots & Bling event chairman, is thrilled to have such a substantial item donated this year. “We will be holding the raffle for the golf cart starting on Sept. 3. Each raffle ticket will be $25 or you can get 5 for $100. You can purchase these raffle tickets at the YMCA in Port Royal and at Boots & Bling. We’ll draw for the golf cart winner during the event, however you do not need to be present to win.” This year’s silent auction items include a smorgasbord of goodies including rounds of golf, golf clubs, gift certificates to various businesses and restaurants, one-of-a kind pieces of art, autographed books by several local authors, fine jewelry and more.

“We are once again extremely grateful to our local business community, Y members, volunteers and friends for their generous donations to the auction. We also have many “Bling” level event sponsors and in-kind sponsors who are supporting this event. Without all their assistance and financial support, an event like this just would not be possible,” Averill added. With so many programs for every age, ability and economic circumstance, The Wardle Family YMCA shines as a pacesetter in bringing our diverse

community together on so many levels. So grab your best pair of jeans, straighten that Stetson and mosey on over to The Shed on Saturday at 6 p.m. because you don’t want to miss a minute of one of the most enjoyable events in all of Beaufort. Boots & Bling tickets are $50 for individuals and $90 for couples. Tickets can be purchased at the Y front desk at 1801 Richmond Ave. in Port Royal or online at www.ymcabeaufortcounty. com.

A dry pair of boots

By Cherimie Crane Weatherford

It occurred to me recently that some of life’s most important interactions are often found tucked sweetly in the layers of the most nonessential of relationship. Solace can be found in accidental acquaintance and comfort in casual conference. Small towns master the nonessential relationships if only by sheer logistics. It is impossible not to become familiar with those traveling the same path, the same route and often the same grocery schedule. It can be a simple nod, a passing smile, an empathetic glance from a not-so-strange stranger that gives way to a sense of familiarity, peace and comfort. Words become unnecessary as the foundation of the accidental acquaintance is freedom from obligation. Just as a weathered landmark signals lessened distance homeward bound, nonessential relationships become signals of their own. Having the morning awareness of a blind rabbit, it is stunning that I notice a young lady walking almost daily. Often rushing from one task to another, I barely notice date or time. This young lady always caught my eye for no discernible reason. Daily our paths intertwine providing a certain flow to my all-too-rushed schedule. Occasionally, my mind wanders from to-do list lethargy to imagining her point of focus. Eyes straight ahead and purposeful gait, rhythmic pace, obviously she meant business. By chance and convenience, last week I headed to my little boutique to make certain the world of women’s clothing was turning as it should when the morning sky opened and saturated all God’s creatures great and small. One of those downpours where one can’t help but feel as though Mother Nature is making a point. Fortunately, I found entry prior to falling prey to an impressive soak and unimpressive hair do. Turning on lights and doing all those things rote, I heard a knock. Standing amidst Mother Nature’s hissy fit was

Day in and day out, I hear (and even speak) excuse after excuse about not marching forth toward a goal. Complaints that should never be are as customary as true grit is rare. This young lady walks to school everyday, never stopping to ask for a ride, never swaying her gaze. Head up, eyes forward.

the young lady I often see walking the busy street. Her focus familiar, her stature recognizable and her clothing soaked to the core. Unlocking my door and barely having a chance to speak, she quickly announced her intentions to purchase a new pair of shoes and pants. The clothing she had on was so drenched that it left a puddle at my door. All things Southern kicked in and I quickly offered her towels. She explained that she was heading to school when the bottom fell out and just needed to get something dry to wear as she had classes the entire day. It hit me. All those days that I was complaining about this or that, rushing through my nonessential tasks from the comfort of my airconditioned car, she was walking to school. The hottest of hot days, the rainy days, the days that my biggest complaint was a seemingly long traffic light. She was walking to school, not just one block, not even five. She walks down busy Boundary Street to attend University of South Carolina Beaufort. It is no short distance. Often described as hard-nosed, frequently referred to as difficult and never being accused of being a socialite, my bark can sometimes be worse than my bite. (Unless you take my coffee, then my bite is horrendous.) There is something about a determined woman that awakens all that is good. She made her way to the counter to

pay for a new pair of shoes and a dry pair of jeans. No Ma’am, I said. Not today. She tried once more to pay, saying she didn’t mean to get anything for free. I saw an entire generation in her and wondered if her Mom would ever find out about this. How proud must she be of such a determined, prideful young lady. Day in and day out, I hear (and even speak) excuse after excuse about not marching forth toward a goal. Complaints that should never be are as customary as true grit is rare. This young lady walks to school everyday, never stopping to ask for a ride, never swaying her gaze. Head up, eyes forward. How small I felt in her presence. I gave her a brand new pair of boots and a wonderful pair of jeans. After a short conversation, she thanked me and headed for the door. Somehow I looked at her and saw everything I wanted to be, much that I already am, and what I want for my daughter. It matters less where she had been but more where she was going. Her determination and refusal to let even Mother Nature slow her direction is rare and inspirational. My request to her was simple. I asked her to go out and change the world, knowing full well, she already has. She walks to school, further than most walk in a week, and she does so with a smile. Maybe those nonessential relationships aren’t so nonessential after all.

For someone new to town, navigating can be tricky By Lee Scott

It’s easy to spot tourists on the road — out of state plates, driving slow to read signs, or driving the wrong way down one-way streets. Yet, I have to defend those poor tourists because, as a new person in the area, I am somewhat of a tourist still becoming familiar with my surroundings. It can be tricky navigating and driving around an area that has so many bridges, islands and changing street names. I have a map and my GPS. I depend on my talking “cheater” a lot. “Turn right here!” she demands of me — only to be followed by the words, “When possible, make a U-turn” because I missed the right turn. And when I ask a local about a place I need to go, they always respond with phrases like, “Take a left where the new Publix is being built.” Huh? I didn’t know there was an old Publix. There are the street names to remember. People who have lived here a long time forget that Sea Island Parkway becomes Carteret Street and then Boundary Street and then Trask Parkway. They know it as Route 21 (which is technically U.S. Highway 21). Of course, there is the southern Route 21 and the Business 21. I have found myself on Parris Island because I have followed the wrong 21. Of course, there are the bridges. One

You may want to stay away if you are close to the hour or half hour (unless it is pouring rain) in which case you are probably OK. If you decide to avoid downtown, you can take the J.E.

They just give you a landmark. “The one on your way to the Bi-Lo.” Which Bi-Lo, you ask? There are also numerous islands and bridges for tourists and newcomers to navigate. I spoke to a man at church the other day who lives across the creek from me. He said, “It would take me about 10 minutes to get to your place by boat and about 40 minutes by car.” He wasn’t kidding. When I started to look at the islands and the bridges, the car

route was definitely the long way to go. Then there is also the weekend rental

turnover traffic. Since we live in a destination community with beautiful beaches, cute historical towns and recreational sports, the influx of tourists is incredible. I have now learned to time my trips either early or later in the day to avoid the backups along Sea Island Parkway. So be careful of the tourists and the new locals. And I promise to learn to drive the area without my GPS shouting “recalculating.”

Southern cooking that’s good for your soul served at the new

MJ’S SOUL FOOD

By Pamela Brownstein

MJ’s Soul Food recently opened on June 26, bringing new life to the building that once housed the Sand Dollar Tavern on St. Helena Island. (Don’t let the sign that still says “Sand Dollar Tavern” fool you!) Even I didn’t know that it was a new restaurant until Lunch Bunch had the pleasure to eat there last week. Our friendly server brought us a plate of Crab balls as an appetizer. Even though there were only three of us at our booth, the four balls on the plate quickly disappeared. It was impossible to resist the warm little nuggets of goodness — almost like a cross between a crab cake and a hush puppy with a little bit of cheese — and when our server asked us if we wanted more, I didn’t even hesitate to say yes. Irene ordered the Shrimp and Fish special that came with fried shrimp and a large piece of fried whiting, and she said it was really good. She also liked the sides of red rice and collard greens. Elizabeth only had to look at the menu once and she knew she wanted the fried chicken with a side of collard greens. There was no deterring her from the big, juicy, perfectly cooked piece of chicken — she almost left only bones on her plate it was so tasty. I tried the Smothered Pork chop special, not exactly the healthiest choice, but I ate it all because it was so awesome, the definition of Southern comfort food. Served with fabulous collard greens and yummy shrimp and crab rice, this meal was mouth-watering. Other highlights on the menu include hamburgers, ribs and seafood, as well as a variety of sides such as fried okra and mac n’ cheese. I would recommend the

wine

By Celia Strong

It seems that the word “hybrid” can be used in reference to wines, and also applies in many other contexts. (The name “hybrid” is from the Latin “hibrida,” meaning offspring of a mixed union.) In genetics, a hybrid is the offspring of genetically dissimilar parents, such as when a female horse and a male donkey make a mule. In linguistics, a hybrid is a word that is part from one language and part from another language. Like “monolingual” has a Greek prefix and a Latin root. In cars, usually, a hybrid is part electric, part fuel powered. Even in music the term is used. There, a hybrid is a song sung by one person that was written by another. In many cases, in all these areas, the hybrid is stronger, bigger, better than the parents. In wine, the most well-known hybrid is Cabernet Sauvignon — a cross between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc. Most of us never even think of Cabernet as a hybrid. It is one of the great grape varieties of all wine grapes. And, obviously bigger, stronger and better than its parents. Beyond Cabernet Sauvignon, other hybrids, that we don’t see or drink very often at all, include ones like Seyval, Chambourcin, Catawba and many others. And, as it applies to us today, in wines, the name “hybrid” can also be used as a category of non-traditional blended wines. That means three traditional Bordeaux red grape varieties blended with some red Zinfandel can make a blend or “meritage” as we usually call them. But, this wine can also be called a hybrid. (Please note, “Meritage” with a capitalized “M” makes it an official member of the Meritage Association, and, by their rules, a blend of Bordeaux varieties only.) So, yes, we are looking at new blended wine today. Actually, we have two blended wines this week, a red and a white from Callaway Vineyard & Winery. Callaway is located in Temecula, California. More than 200 years ago, when winemaking in California began, it was at the Mission San Juan Capistrano — just 18 miles east of Temecula. The first modern, commercial vineyard in Temecula Valley was established in 1968. The valley is located 500 miles south of San

Francisco and has a slightly higher angle to the sun. It’s warmer with more intense sunlight. Morning mists often linger until mid-morning. There is low rainfall in the valley, cooling breezes from off the Pacific Ocean which make for moderate daytime temperatures. The soils for the vineyards consist of decomposing granite with sandy loam, excellent for good grapes with clean, pure varietal flavors. Since the 1960’s, Chardonnay, Merlot and Sauvignon Blanc have been grown here. Recently, Mediterranean varieties like Viognier, Syrah and Pinot Grigio have been planted. Rhône varieties, Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel also do well in Temecula. Temecula Valley was declared an AVA in 1984. It is part of the larger South Coast AVA. Callaway Vineyard & Winery started growing grapes in 1969, and opened its winery in 1974. Ely Callaway, Jr. was the founder. Ely had graduated from Emory University, but found World War II changed the course of his life. He joined the U.S. Army Reserves and was posted to Philadelphia when they learned he had a background in textiles. He was charged with procuring clothing and fabric. After the war, he worked for clothing manufacturers for 27 years. In the late 1960’s, Ely did some extensive research and went to Temecula. There, he found a plateau, below the foggy peaks of surrounding mountains, which he thought was perfect for planting grapes. He planted in 1969, and, in the early 1970’s, said goodbye to the textile industry. He defied the experts, who all thought that southern California was not suited to growing good wine grapes. In 1981, Ely sold his winery to Hiram Walker and moved onto the next phase of his life — golf. The success of “Big Bertha,” the club he designed, made Callaway Golf the number one golf company in the world.

“You can always count on unexpected expenses.”

The Callaway Hybrid Red and Callaway Hybrid White are from the Callaway Vineyard & Winery in Temecula, California.

(I should mention that Ely’s mother’s cousin was Bobby Jones. Which means golf did not come to Ely out of the clear blue sky.) Ely Callaway died in 2001, at age 82. In 2012, the Callaway Vineyard & Winery went through a huge renovation. Their tasting room is large, surrounded with glass windows that look out over rolling hills and vines. They offer daily tours and tastings, including automated self-serving tasting stations. Their Meritage Restaurant is one of the very best in the area, featuring a CaliforniaMediterranean style cuisine and featuring local produce and butchers. And, of course, Callaway wines, most of which are only available on the property. Lucky us, though, we can try two of their wines — Callaway Hybrid Red and Callaway Hybrid White. The red is a blend of 50 percent Merlot, 35 percent Zinfandel and 15 percent Syrah, it says so right on the front label, in nice large letters and numbers. And, as we know, these three grapes blended together are not a traditional blend. Hence, a hybrid.

This wine is medium bodied with an appealing smooth, juicy texture. Its flavors include blueberries, chocolate, blackberries, white pepper and plums. Soft tannins keep it easy drinking, sip after sip, glass after glass. Maybe it is better than its pieces and parts? Like a hybrid should be. The white is a blend of 40 percent Verdejo, 35 percent Viognier and 25 percent Gewurztraminer. Truly, what seems to be an off-the-wall blend. But, the layered flavors and textures of this wine make it perfect for many types of foods. Its medium body is loaded with apple and pear fruit flavors, hints of peaches and kumquats, a touch of citrus, floral notes, minerality, and good acidity. Again, a hybrid, true to its namesake. Together, these two wines will be perfect for many meals, but especially those meals where you’re not sure if a red or a white will be best. (Think Thanksgiving!) They may be hybrids, but it’s up to us to use them and drink them and share them. Each for $10.99 at Bill’s Liquor on Lady’s Island. Enjoy.

One thing is for sure when it comes to raising a family. You can count on unexpected expenses: Your daughter needs braces. The roof leaks. The list goes on and on.

obituaries Carl ‘Tommy’ Belger, Sr.

Carl “Tommy” Belger, Sr., born on February 10, 1938 in Brunson, SC, to Raymond and Norine Belger, passed away at his residence in Beaufort, SC on July 12, 2014. Carl had been in declining health for over a year. He is survived by his wife, Nilda Belger; two sons, Carl T. Belger, Jr. (Tony) and Marty K. Belger (Ronda) and one stepdaughter, Brooke Gambill; three grandchildren, Sydney Hyde Belger, Zachary and Baylee Belger; five sisters, Veda McMillen, Virginia Bishop, Lois Cook ( J.R.), Wilma McMillan (Allan) and Frances Belger; numerous nieces and nephews, greatnieces and nephews and great-great-nieces and nephews. Carl was preceded in death by his parents, Raymond and Norine Belger and three sisters, Sadie Massenburg, Rachel Davis and Norine Terry; two brothers, Willie James Belger and Raymond Belger. Carl proudly served in the U.S. Navy from 1955 to 1959. He worked at RyCo Chemicals in Hampton, SC, and at Parris Island as a civil servant for many years. Carl was a member of St. Peter’s Catholic Church and served as an usher for many years. He is also a lifetime member of the VFW 8760 and AmVets Post 70. Tommy will be sadly missed by family and friends. Graveside funeral services were held on Thursday, July 17, 2014 at noon in Beaufort National Cemetery with military honors. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that donations be made to Disabled American Veterans, 702 Battery Creek Road, Beaufort, SC 29902 or charity of one’s choice. Anderson Funeral Home and Crematory is serving the family.

Eleanor Booker

Eleanor (“Lil”) Booker, 84, of Beaufort, passed away on July 25, 2014 at NHC Bluffton, SC. Eleanor Daisy Stevens Young II Booker, daughter of Brigadier General John S. E. Young and Augusta Andrews Young, was an early starter. She began first grade at the age of 4, high school at the age of 11, and college at the age of 15. When she married her husband, David (Davey), at 19 she already had her education. Davey was 26 when he and Lil married, and he was serving as a pilot in the Marine Corps. After a blissful marriage of 7 months, Davey was assigned to a 4-month cruise as a photo reconnaissance pilot on the USS Valley Forge. He was the first pilot shot down and captured in the Korean War. He spent over three years as a prisoner of war, during which time Lil worked as a fashion model and flight attendant while awaiting his return. Remarkably, after many hospitalizations and surgeries, Davey was one of the few exPOWs to return to active duty. Davey’s final tour was at Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort. He took his squadron overseas for 14 months while Lil and their sons remained in Beaufort. After returning from that tour, Davey retired as a full Colonel, and the family settled in Beaufort where Davey became active in many volunteer organizations. Lil and Davey were charter members of Sea Island Presbyterian Church where a cross was placed in his memory. Davey passed away in 1993, and Rev. Steve Keeler conducted Davey’s funeral service at the National Cemetery in Beaufort where Davey and Lil’s youngest son, Paul Curtis, is buried. Their eldest son, John David, is buried at Arlington National Cemetery. Davey and Lil’s middle son, Robert “Jesse” Andrew, resides in Beaufort. Lil spent 32 years as a very successful real estate broker and retired from that career. She continued to be an active member of her community, offering her time and resources to many people in need. Lil will be remembered by all who knew her for her generous heart, warm smile and keen sense of humor. Graveside funeral services were held on Thursday, July 31, 2014 at 2 p.m. in Beaufort National Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Sea Island Presbyterian Church Music Ministry, P. O. Box 966, Beaufort, SC, 29901. Anderson Funeral Home and Crematory is serving the family.

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

Be proactive with probiotics BowWOW!

By Tracie Korol

As any dog owner can attest, dogs are not too discriminating about what they eat. Select garbage, poo of the wild, domestic poo from the cat box, roadtoad jerky — they’re all yummy going in. Not so delightful on the way out. We can move with lightning speed to try to extract the offending item from clenched jaws OR we can prepare our pets in a more proactive way. A good probiotic for dogs is an easy way to ward off an onslaught of bad bacteria by boosting existing good bacteria. In fact, gastrointestinal disorders are the second most common health issues for dogs after skin conditions. All dogs (and people, too) can benefit from probiotics. They aid digestion and modulate the immune system by producing short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). These helpers inhibit the growth and activity of harmful bacteria, such as E. coli, Salmonella, and Clostridium perfringens, as well as providing other benefits to the intestines. Probiotics help prevent urinary tract infections, and can even reduce allergic reactions by decreasing intestinal permeability and controlling inflammation. Given probiotics for pets is a new industry, it can be confusing when investigating the best for your Best Friend. When choosing a commercial dog probiotic, consider the following criteria:

Facts, observations and musings about Our Best Friends

BowWOW! Is a production of Tracie Korol and wholeDog. She is a canine behavior coach, Reiki practitioner, a canine massage therapist (CMT), herbalist and canine homeopath. Want more information? Have a question? Send a note to Tracie at letstalk@wholedog.biz or visit www.wholedog.biz.

A good probiotic for dogs is an easy way to ward off an onslaught of bad bacteria. • The list of ingredients should identify the specific bacterial species and also indicate the strain. Species with specific strains known to benefit dogs include Enterococcus faecium (strain SF68) and Bacillus coagulans. Bifidobacterium animalis (strain AHC7) has been shown to reduce the time for acute diarrhea to resolve in dogs. Certain strains of Lactobacillus acidophilus improve frequency and quality of stools in sensitive dogs. Lactobacillus rhamnosus strain GG (LGG) is my favorite go-to (no pun intended) for any digestive upset. Probiotic products may contain one or several strains. • The label should guarantee the number of CFU in millions or billions per gram. Colony-forming units (CFU) is an estimate of viable bacterial or fungal numbers that the manufacturer

guarantees will exist in their product. • The product packaging or manufacturer’s website should have a customer service number so you can contact the manufacturer with any questions. • The probiotic should have a “best before” or expiration date. Storage time and conditions (i.e., excessive heat or cold) can reduce the viability of some bacterial strains. It is best practice to store your probiotics in a refrigerator. Alternately, you can go the grocery store route. Following a round of antibiotics, savvy dog owners have long used tablespoonfuls of yogurt to readjust

the bacteria in their dog’s intestines. (Antibiotics kill everything, the good and the bad.) Kefir, a souped up super cousin of yogurt, is easy to make if you’re so inclined or it’s available in the dairy cases of local groceries. Kefir is a cultured, enzyme-rich liquid food filled with friendly micro-organisms that help balance an “inner ecosystem”. Kefir contains loads of minerals and essential amino acids. Among them, tryptophan, an essential amino acid, is well-known for its relaxing effect on the nervous system. It may help a high drive or highly anxious dog chill. Kefir also contains calcium and magnesium both of which are critical for a healthy nervous system. It is rich in vitamins B12, B1 and vitamin K, promoting healthy looking skin, boosting energy and promoting longevity. For daily maintenance, kefir is excellent at rebalancing intestinal bacteria, boosting immunity and correcting the occasional trash-hound loose stool. If you have multiple dogs, renewable kefir is the most affordable solution. And, it comes in flavors. I find blueberry is the most favored among my dog friends.
