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.

Boundary Street Redevelopment Project: Answering your questions On Thursday, July 12, the City of Beaufort and Beaufort County held a public information session related to the proposed and upcoming improvements to the Boundary Street Redevelopment District. The purpose of the public information session was to provide an opportunity for area residents to review and discuss individually with representatives of the county and city the improvements for Boundary Street. The Boundary Street Project consists of replacement of the center turning lane with a median, realignment of SC 170 and the addition of a 10-foot-wide multi-use path. The project begins at Neil Road and ends at Ribaut Road. We have developed answers to some frequently asked questions related to this project.

SC 170/US 21 intersection realignment and use of roundabouts The Traffic Study that was conducted as part of the 2009 Boundary Street Improvements indicated that a roundabout at the SC 170 and US 21/ Boundary Street intersection would not function adequately due to the high traffic volumes. The intersection will remain as a signalized intersection but will be realigned as shown in the Boundary Street plans.

Roadway improvements for this phase of the Boundary Street project will end at Marsh Drive and will not include the proposed roundabout Ribaut Road that was shown in the 2006 Boundary Street Master Plan and 2009 Feasibility Study.

Raised median, Limited median

openings and narrow lanes for access management and traffic calming Currently, the US 21/Boundary Street corridor consists of two 12foot travel lanes in each direction separated by a 15 foot-wide two-way left turn lane. Boundary Street serves approximately 40,000 vehicles per day (vpd). The proposed US 21/Boundary Street will consist of two 11 foot-wide travel lanes in each direction separated by a 17-foot-wide raised landscape median as well as new, wider sidewalks separated from Boundary Street by a planting strip on the northern and southern sides of Boundary Street. In the event of a natural emergency, such as a hurricane evacuation, the corridor can be managed to allow for four outbound lanes as needed.

A 10-foot-wide multi-use path/ boardwalk will be constructed along the marshes of Battery Creek on the southern side of the corridor.

Emergency vehicle access Concerns about emergency vehicle access and evacuation have been expressed and considered throughout the entire process. The Beaufort County Emergency Management Department was actively involved in

the 2009 Feasibility Study Phases and the following features have been planned for: design will be verified to accommodate the emergency vehicles; raised median will use mountable curbs for emergency vehicle use; periodic breaks in landscaping to allow for median crossings by emergency vehicles; and installation of preemptive equipment for existing and new signals throughout the corridor for emergency vehicle use.

In addition to the design features identified above, the parallel road and network of interconnected streets will be useful for emergency vehicle access.

Right-of-way acquisition During the design phase, all attempts will be made to minimize the number of displacements and impacts to adjacent properties while meeting the needs of the community. All necessary property acquisitions and relocations will be in accordance with the applicable state and federal laws and regulations. Those individuals involved in displacements will be offered comparable housing, and property owners will be paid at fair market value for their property and may be paid proximity damages in accordance with state and federal guidelines. Any affected property owners will be given sufficient advance notice of the intention to purchase any property to allow for sufficient relocation time.

letter to the editor from city council member

City strives to be open, transparent

By George O’Kelley

Many citizens have posited good questions about the City of Beaufort, and some concerns spring from perceptions about the Master Plan.

For instance, there is talk about making Ribaut Road two lanes and opening a parallel street through Hundred Pines. Such ideas are flawed and I will oppose such plans.

I think other Beaufort City Council members agree with me. When Ribaut was widened in 1970, we had about 40,000 people in the whole county.

Now we have more than three times

that number. I can’t see this idea ever getting traction.

I also get questioned about the projects on our streets. So many downtown streets are being worked on.

Thankfully, Bladen is almost complete.

We are also working on Duke (city).

Other disruptions are being done by other agencies (BJWSA). The city can’t control such, but I’m told that some of the pipes are so old they must be replaced. However, better coordination is probably needed.

Let me also address the question of openness. Many folks think decisions are

made behind closed doors — I assure you this is not so. City Council strives to be open and transparent. Important issues are studied in open work sessions (three each month) and regular meetings (two each month). Citizens are welcome to attend. If you can’t attend, I encourage you to look on the city’s web page. Input from the public helps me make informed decisions.

Attend meetings, ask questions and stay involved. Beaufort is our home, whether our residence is in town, Lady’s Island, Burton or outlying areas.

It is an honor for me to serve you.

What topics get you heated up?

Did you get a boot on your car parking downtown or is the traffic light on your street ridiculously slow? Or would you like to thank a stranger for a random act of kindness? Here’s your chance to sound off. Send your comments to LowcountryBroil@gmail.com and you could see them in the paper. Don’t worry: They’re all anonymous.

Monitored fire alarm helps save house from blaze Residents and two dogs survived a house fire last Thursday night, and the house itself avoided major damage, due in part to early detection and alert from the home’s monitored fire alarm system, Beaufort Fire Chief Sammy Negron said. The home, located in the 300 block of Battery Creek Road, caught fire around 8:40 p.m. on Sept. 13, with Beaufort firefighters responding to an activated fire alarm.

Upon arrival, fire crews encountered heavy smoke billowing from the single-story home, prompting the Incident Commander to request additional assistance and equipment from the Beaufort-Port Royal Fire Department, Burton Fire District and Beaufort County EMS. “It was a big fire about to get bigger,” Negron said Friday morning. “We caught it just in time, thanks to the early alert from the homeowners’ monitored fire alarm system. With fires, every second counts.”

By arriving so quickly, firefighters contained the blaze to the room where it started and avoided further

An activated fire alarm allowed firefighters to respond quickly and contain the blaze to the room where it started and avoid further damage to the house.

damage to the house. The fire caused about $15,000 damage. Investigators determined the cause of the fire to be accidental due to a heat lamp falling atop combustible materials.

Two family dogs were rescued by fire crews and were doing well Friday, but a third pet, a turtle, didn’t survive the heavy smoke conditions, Negron said.

Monitored fire alarm systems typically connect a structure’s smoke and fire detectors to a central station. In the event of fire, local fire stations automatically are notified by the alarm system, rather than having to wait for someone to notice the fire and call 911.

The Beaufort-Port Royal Fire Department reminds residents of the dangers associated with having unsecured heat sources to close to ordinary combustible materials. Always keep a minimum of three feet separation between a known heat source and other materials that could catch fire.

If you would like a smoke alarm for your home or would like to discuss other fire prevention opportunities for your home or business, please contact the Beaufort-Port Royal Fire Department at 843-525-7055 or city-fire@cityofbeaufort.org.

transportation tax reaches local goal The local Transportation Tax that is currently imposed in Beaufort County will expire at the end of September since the maximum tax needed has been collected. This 1% local tax, collected by the SC Department of Revenue on behalf of the county, was implemented in Beaufort County in 2007 to fund various transportation projects. Therefore, retail sales made on or after October 1 will not be subject to the 1% tax, and only the 6% statewide sales tax will be imposed in Beaufort County. For more information on local sales taxes, visit the SC Department of Revenue’s website at www.sctax.org under “What’s New.”

Recognizing the key role local customers play in keeping their doors open, more than 20 Bay Street businesses are coming together to create Customer Appreciation Week, September 24-29. These merchants will rent out the 56 parking spaces along Bay Street between Carteret and Charles Streets to provide free parking to customers for the week.

In addition, each participating business — including retail shops, galleries, restaurants, and more — will host a drawing for either merchandise or a gift certificate. All customers are invited to enter, and the winners will be announced on Sunday, September 30, at Waterfront Park.

Some shops will offer refreshments and other extra perks. For example, Simply Southern Too Antiques will host a “Find the Pig” game — if customers finds a hidden pig in the shop, a discount will be applied to their purchase. Joli Home Accents is tapping into its Facebook fan base, offering exclusive discounts on different product lines each day.

Why are business owners so eager to participate? Nancy Rhett, owner of Rhett Gallery, explains, “This week of free parking is to show our loyal customers how much we appreciate their 31 years of support!” Indeed, these merchants recognize that their

customers make a concerted effort to support Beaufort’s local, independently owned businesses. For that reason, business owners are able to thrive.

In fact, when customers shop with area small businesses, it gives back to the local economy. The 3/50 Project, an organization dedicated to the prolocal movement, explains that, “for every $100 spent in locally owned independent stores, $68 returns to the local economy.” That’s $25 more than the money spent and national chains, and 100 percent more than if it is spent online.

Equally as important, if not more, is the relationship shop and business owners have with their customers.

Cindy Jacobus, owner of the Lollipop Shop, shares that, “What I love about my local customers is that they have told me whenever they have guests in town they bring them by The Lollipop Shop for a walk down memory lane with the nostalgic candy we carry.

It makes them happy and they can remember the simpler, easier times.”

For these reasons and more, the participating businesses hope that local customers will come out and take advantage of Customer Appreciation Week, September 24-29.

business volunteers needed to prepare tax returns Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) of the Lowcountry, a program of Together for Beaufort County, is working with AARPTax Aide/Bluffton to recruit volunteers to prepare tax returns for the upcoming tax season for working individuals and families with an emphasis on using the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). Last year, VITA Lowcountry, in partnership with United Way of the Lowcountry and Beaufort County Human Services Alliance, was responsible for bringing $2.2 million dollars back into our community and assisted in preparing and filing nearly 1,500 FREE federal tax returns. Volunteers receive the satisfaction of knowing that they are helping the community while “making friends that they see only once a year.”

With some basic computer dexterity and the time to be trained in the fall, you can help as a volunteer tax counselor.

The computer, the software, the facilities, and the training to help you prepare tax returns for EITC eligible individuals and families will be provided. There will be multiple locations around Beaufort and Jasper counties, and volunteers can be placed at a site that is convenient for them. Four to eight hours per week for the tax season is the goal for each volunteer. The training will take place in October/November of 2012 in the evenings from 6 - 9 p.m. The training sessions run twice a week for 6 weeks. To learn more or to volunteer, contact the VITA/AARP Training Coordinator, George Friedman, at Georgefriedman@sc.rr.com or 1-843-705-1924.

The disciplined pursuit of less

By Arthur Levin

Greg McKeown’s “The Disciplined Pursuit of Less” in the Harvard Business Review is thought-provoking on so many levels. The article should be read in full to really appreciate his point, but the concluding paragraph is a nice summary.

If success is a catalyst for failure because it leads to the “undisciplined pursuit of more,” then one simple antidote is the disciplined pursuit of less. Not just haphazardly saying no, but purposefully, deliberately and strategically eliminating the nonessentials. Not just once a year as part of a planning meeting, but constantly reducing, focusing and simplifying. Not just getting rid of the obvious time-wasters, but being willing to cut out really terrific opportunities as well. Few appear to have the courage to live this principle, which may be why it differentiates successful people and organizations from the very successful ones.

While this principle can be applied to nearly every aspect of our lives, it has a clear application to portfolio construction and financial planning. Some variation of the following story is common:

An individual succeeds at earning a high income. Either on his own or with the help of a financial a d v i s o r , Arthur investments Levin are made. The years pass.

Additional investments are made.

Money with a money manager here, a group of mutual funds there, positions in some individual stocks here ... Pretty soon, this person has become a collector as opposed to an investor. In the collector scenario, it is just possible that everything works out OK. Perhaps there will be big enough winners in the mix to cover any losers. However, it is possible that some of those investments were ill-conceived and will be a major drag on the overall portfolio over time — all while not being carefully watched.

Contrast that approach with the investor who purposely employs an asset allocation with more limited, but thoroughly researched investment strategies (we have written many times before about the rationale for mixing relative

strength, value and low volatility strategies). It is quite possible that this more disciplined investor will be able to earn greater returns and amass greater wealth over time than the collector and still retain the benefits of diversification.

No realistic person has the expectation of a perpetual state of success. Setbacks are just part of life and investing. However, the investor who purposefully, deliberately and strategically eliminates the nonessentials and focuses his or her resources on the areas where he or she is likely to achieve the greatest rewards has taken a big step towards putting the odds in their favor.

The importance of backups

By Jerod Collins

When it comes to computers, what is most important? Is it the computer hardware itself? Is it the ability to get online? These things are all well and good but there is something much more important. This thing is so important that if it is lost, people are willing to spend hundreds, even thousands, of dollars to get it recovered.

Data.

Your data is the most valuable possession on your PC. It may consist of your music library containing every CD you have ever bought. It might be pictures of your family collected over the years or from a recent vacation. It might also contain important business or personal documents that are needed in sensitive situations. Everyone’s data is important, That is why it is imperative to have backups. There are many different ways to backup your data and most are relatively low-cost to do so. The two forms of backups that will be outlined are: A physical backup and backing up to the Cloud.

A physical backup is basically copying your data to another physical device other than your computer. Some popular forms of physical backups include: • Flash drives: With such a small

TECH TALK

Do you have a question for the tech guy? Jerod Collins, owner of Digital Remedi, has the answer! Contact him at 843-441-6940 or visit www.digitalremedi.com.

size and relatively high capacities, Flash drives are ideal for saving data for mobile back-ups or to move data from one computer to the next. They also have non-moving parts so they are very rugged and tough. Nowadays you can find a 4 GB (Gigabyte) Flash Drive for less than $10. That’s enough space to hold around 3,000 pictures, 1,000 songs or countless documents!

• External Hard Drives: Basically the big brother to the flash drives, the external hard drive is great for those who want to backup everything on their computer. Most of them even come with automatic backup software installed on them right out of the box so all you have to do is plug it in and tell it what to back up. It will always be current when you plug it in! Externals are a bit more expensive then the flash drive, but

they can hold much more data. You can find 1 TB (Terabyte or 1000 Gigabyte) Models for around $80. For the average user, that is enough to hold all of the data on their computer about 10 times over!

There are other physical backup media out there as well including CD’s, DVD’s and Memory Cards.

But you may ask, “Jerod, what if you don’t want to have your data backed in the same area as your computer in case of a fire or natural disaster?” Or “What if you want your data to automatically back-up around the clock?”

That is where the Cloud comes in!

The Cloud is a hot topic in the computing world today. In a nutshell, it is the process of backing up your data, over the Internet, to another location that can only be accessed by you, anytime you want. It’s that simple! There are countless Cloud backup solutions out there. (Seriously, if you Google “Cloud backup solutions,” you will be surprised at how many options you find.) Here are a couple of solutions I personally recommend: • Dropbox: I am certain that most everyone reading this article has heard of Dropbox. Dropbox is a very easy to use solution for backing up your data and

syncing files from one device to the next.

You get 2 GB’s of Free Storage that you can use to store anything that you want.

The coolest thing about Dropbox, if you have an iPad or a smartphone, you can basically transfer files to and from them as much as you want. It is a great way to back up documents that you need to take with you everywhere you go. It is a fantastic service!

• Sugarsync: To put it plainly, Sugarsync is the same thing as Dropbox.

I personally use Sugarsync as a full backup solution instead of Dropbox just due to the fact that it is a tad bit lower priced then Dropbox when more data is concerned.

• Carbonite: This is for serious users.

Carbonite is more of a home office or small business solution compared to the previous options. If you have a lot, and I mean, a lot of data that you need backed up on a regular basis, or sensitive information that is used throughout your company, look no further than Carbonite. The plans that they offer are extremely affordable and their customer service is top notch.

This is my favorite backup solution for small business owners. It is very simple to setup and once you do, just let it do its job.

You should have no worries of losing data again.

Business notes and updates from Lady’s Island

By Jim Hicks

• Lady’s Island business expands and relocates: Carolina Custom Carts previously located at 81 Sea Island Parkway has moved to the former home of Wyndmark Interiors at 108 Sea Island Parkway. The relocation is a result of the positive response to their business which sells new, used, refurbished and fully customized golf carts. They do accept trade ins and will provide pickup and delivery service. They carry a large inventory of parts and accessories. The new location will allow an expansion of both service capability and “on site inventory” of carts. Mr. Jeff Harris, President and Chief Executive Officer of Carolina Custom Carts, invites you

to stop by their new location and take a look at the wide variety of golf carts available at their new site.

• LowCountry Outlet closes its doors: With sadness we note the closing of the wholesale discount store the LowCountry Outlet located at 53 Sams Point Road on Lady’s Island. The Lady’s Island store was an expansion of a similar business in Bluffton which will continue in operation. We extend our best wishes to John and Eileen Huges in their future endeavors and our appreciation for investigating the Lady’s Island area as a potential location for their branch of their business.

• Medical practice relocates: Dr. Lucius Laffitte Jr. has relocated his

family practice within the Palmetto Business Park located behind BB&T on Lady’s Island Drive.

Previously located on 27B Kemmerlin Lane, he is now Jim Hicks Lady’s Island located at in the newly Business constructed building Professionals at 10 Kemmerlin Lane Association (first building on the right) in the Business Park. A portion of the building is still available for lease and those interested can obtain additional information by calling 322-8477.

• The Dog House opens on Lady’s

Island: On Lady’s Island, just before you reach Chowan Creek, traveling toward St. Helena on Sea Island Parkway, is a group of small commercial buildings.

While driving past these buildings, Mrs. Geraldine Purdy mentioned to her husband Dick that one of the small buildings could serve as a great hot dog stand. As a result of this original idea, The Dog House recently opened its doors offering a variety of types of hot dogs and accessories for take-out or eating on the picnic tables outside. Orders can be made in advance by calling 770-0013. Their hours of operation are from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily. We welcome the Purdys and The Dog House to Lady’s Island and wish them success in their new business.

Are you even listening? Hello ... anyone in there? What do I need to do to get your attention?! Why are you ignoring me?!

Have you ever been desperately trying to get the attention of someone you love only to feel like you are on the other side of a two-way mirror where you are screaming and they can’t hear or see you?

This must be how the body feels when it senses trouble in the system and can’t get our attention long enough to get us to elicit necessary change. Sure, we notice an “ouch” or a little fatigue one day that may be a little louder the next day, but we grab an advil and an energy shot and keep moving right along. Days, weeks, months go by with this protocol doing the trick, keeping us moving harder and faster through the day — it’s all good.

Then, we begin to notice, we’re not sleeping as well as we used to. Must be the extra stress we’re dealing with, nothing that a little sleep aid can’t help us out with.

Months go by with the butterflies helping provide adequate slumber without changing a single habit — it’s all good.

Then we begin to notice being a little more “gassy” or feeling a bit of indigestion, but no worries, there is a product for that too. You’ve seen the commercial: just pop a purple pill before eating at Rosie’s Diner — it’s all good.

Next thing we know, this first line of

products isn’t quite doing the trick and we have to move to the next tier, getting frustrated in our inability to do all the things we once were able to. We may even be taking something for the annoyance created by that other thing we were taking, but — it’s all good.

And, all the while, we ignore what the messages are actually trying to tell us — “Dude (or Dudette), we are out of balance!! We can’t keep living like this and expect to feel good!” Yeah, yeah, yeah ... that’s not what the commercials say.

Wellness is no secret, nor is it only for the elite or the tree huggers — it is everywhere and for everybody. As a matter of fact, you can’t get away from it — it’s in the media, doctor’s offices, billboards, etc. — but you can choose to ignore it. With all that we know today about health, in many cases it is a choice to be sick, since most illnesses in our

society today are lifestyle induced and lifestyle is a choice. The body is designed in perfection and to survive. Period. It is the perfect feedback system for what is going on and will continue throwing flags into your awareness when there is a glitch in the programming. It is up to you to recognize those early flags as signs and begin making changes before they become full-blown symptoms and ultimately a disease or syndrome.

A few examples: fatigue, headaches, and joint pain can simply be dehydration, so begin with increasing your plain old fashioned water and decreasing other beverages, especially the “diet” or “free” ones. Chronic respiratory or digestive issues can be related to nutrition, so eat less of everything across the board, then begin substituting the processed foods with whole foods. Cut your TV and computer time in half, read something fun or enlightening, move more, and join a yoga or dance class.

There’s a doctor in Texas who often writes a prescription that says “laugh for 15 seconds twice a day,” then follow up in two weeks. Patients report feeling much better and end up not needing the prescription they thought they did.

Research indicates that fake laughter is just as beneficial as real laughter — so laugh! We’ve started this around our house and despite the strange looks from my children, they begin laughing with me — it’s all good.

So, start listening to what you body is telling you and Live Well ... Have Fun!

Runners, walkers ready for LoCo Motion LoCo Motion, a three-day, 30-mile walk/run event, will be making tracks through the Lowcountry Sept. 28-30 raising money for the fight against breast cancer.

Participants will hoof it along three different 10-mile routes on Hilton Head and Callawassie islands. Each leg of the event will be followed by a post-race party with food, drinks and live music.

Participants have the choice of walking or running one, two or three of the event days.

LoCo Motion is the signature fundraiser of Carolina Cups, a Lowcountry nonprofit group dedicated to funding breast cancer education, screening, treatment and clinical research. Three Lowcountry cancer organizations — Beaufort Memorial Hospital’s Keyserling Cancer Center, Beaufort Jasper Hampton Comprehensive Health Services and the Hollings Cancer Center at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston — will share 90 percent of the money raised by the fundraiser.

The rest of the proceeds will be donated to regional cancer centers, including the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Fla., and Northside Hospital in Atlanta.

Participants take to the streets at last year’s LoCo Motion. This year’s event will take place Friday, Sept. 28 through Sunday, Sept. 30.

“The funding we receive from LoCo Motion helps us pay for some of the services and programs we provide to patients for free,” said Connie Duke, BMH director of oncology. “That includes everything from social workers to nutritionists to a breast cancer coordinator.”

Once again this year, Beaufort Memorial stepped up to serve as lead sponsor of the fundraiser, expected to draw more than 600 local and out-of-town participants.

Building on last year’s success, organizers have added a Community Kick-Off Party to the festivities, hosted

by Beaufort Memorial and the SERG Restaurant Group. The event will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept.

27, at Skull Creek Boathouse and will include complimentary barbecue, a cash bar and entertainment. There is no charge to attend, but a donation of $10 at the door is suggested and RSVPs

are required. Call 843-522-5585 or visit www.DotheLoCoMotion.org to RSVP. At 9 the following morning, walkers and runners will set off from Coligny Beach for the first 10-mile trek of the event. The course will take them through the North and South Forest Beach neighborhoods before heading out to the beach.

Day two of the walk/run is on Callawassie Island, the first community in South Carolina to be designated a Community Wildlife Habitat by the National Wildlife Federation. The final leg runs along Hilton Head Island’s hard-packed sandy shores, beginning and ending at the Omni Hotel in Palmetto Dunes.

The weekend activities will close with a final celebration honoring survivors at the Omni Resort Shorehouse beach pavilion, featuring Deas Guyz. The event, scheduled for Sunday, September 30 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. , is free and open to the public. Food and beverage will be available for sale and donations to LoCo Motion are encouraged.

For more information or to register for the walk/run, visit www.

DotheLoCoMotion.org or call (843) 540-3284.

Exercise is good for your eyes

By Dr. Mark Siegel, MD

You already know that 30 minutes of physical exercise a day can pay benefits to your heart, your waistline and your energy level. But it can also do your eyes a world of good. It makes sense that your eyes would receive the same benefit that the rest of your body does when you exercise. Many eye diseases are linked to other health problems, including high blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol levels. Exercise can help keep these problems at bay or limit their impact if they do occur.

Two studies have shown that people who exercise regularly were less likely to develop serious eye disease. In one study,

Mark Siegel, MD, FAAO Board certified, American Board of Ophthalmology, www. seaislandophthalmology. com researchers followed more than 5,600 men and women to see if there was a link between moderate exercise and ocular perfusion pressure, an important factor in the development of glaucoma. People who engaged in moderate physical exercise were 25 percent less likely to develop glaucoma than people who were

largely inactive.

In another study, researchers looked at the medical history of more than 3,800 people to see if there was a relationship between developing age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and being physically inactive. The scientists found that people who exercised three times a week were less likely to develop AMD than people who didn’t exercise.

If you already have a disease, exercise can help you manage it better. For example, physical activity can help people with diabetes keep their disease under control. That reduces the risk of complications, including diabetic retinopathy, the leading cause of vision

loss among working age adults.

Exercise has also been shown to help people who have glaucoma. Moderate physical exercise, like going for a walk three times a week, can lower your intraocular pressure (IOP) and improve blood flow to the retina and optic nerve. However, to receive the benefits of exercise, you need to keep to the program. Once you stop exercising, your IOP will return to previous levels.

The good news about exercise is that you don’t have to be a marathon runner to reap the benefits. Taking a brisk walk, climbing the stairs and dancing are all great ways to get a good work out that will help you and your eyes stay healthy.

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

hometown tennis hero Beaufortonian Larry Scheper is a

By Lanier Laney

Did you know there is a Beaufort resident who is one of the highest ranked tennis players in the United States in the age 45 men’s category?

Beaufort native Larry Scheper grew up in the Northwest Quadrant of the Beaufort Historic District and began playing tennis on the courts there at an early age after being inspired by Arthur Ashe and Althea Gibson. From Beaufort High School, he went on to win a full tennis scholarship to Grambling State University in Louisiana after which he played on the professional circuit for many years. He attended Van Der Meer Tennis University to become a Certified Tennis Professional listed on the National Professional Tennis Registry.

He began to teach tennis at high schools in Columbia, then at Benedict College and on to the International Tennis Academy in Delray Beach, Florida.

He met his beloved wife, Sandra, who graduated from Benedict College and was a Cytogenetic Technologist, while teaching tennis lessons at Greenview Park in Columbia. They married and have two wonderful daughters: Kimberly, who is in the Army and stationed in Hawaii, and Jada, age 10, who attends Beaufort Elementary.

Larry and his wife decided to move back home to the community he grew up in the Northwest Quadrant.

He said, “That way I would be able to help the kids special to me and remind me of who I am and where I am from.”

He founded the Scheper Tennis Academy here and is also now the popular head boys and girls tennis coach at Beaufort Academy.

MOVE-IN READY

He also earned the nickname “Water Festival Master” over the years for being the winningest player in the history of the Water Festival Tennis Tournaments — taking home more than 20 number 1 titles since it began. Larry also recently competed this past summer in the prestigious 95th Annual American Tennis Association National Championships in Florida. At the tournament he won a trio of matches to earn the top national title for singles in men aged 45.

His 10-year-old daughter also finished third in the 12-and-under division nationally, while his wife Sandra came home a runner-up in 40-and-over doubles play.

While happy about his family’s accomplishments, Larry says he also feels great joy when giving back to the community where his young dreams were born.

His wife Sandra joins him in this endeavor, helping him to run Scheper Tennis Academy where Larry teaches students to try and aim for the top with positive thinking and motivation and to improve upon their skills, to the best of their ability, while enjoying the game. Larry also insists that his students always practice giving 100 percent effort.

Says Larry, “Arthur Ashe and Althea Gibson inspired me to give back to the community like they embraced theirs.”

Hopefully, through Larry’s lessons, students in Beaufort today will not only learn great skills on the tennis court, but will also learn the great rewards of giving back.

Street Music on Paris Avenue presents The Kruger Brothers Jazz. Classical. Bluegrass. The music of the Kruger Brothers is all of that and more, as they celebrate the best of what music can be: exciting, engaging, intelligent, and delightful.

Now living in North Carolina, brothers Jens and Uwe were born and raised in Europe, and starting performing when they were 11 and 12. Joel Landsberg, a native of NYC, joined the brothers in the early 90s. Jens Kruger (banjo, vocals), Uwe Kruger (guitar, lead vocals), and Joel Landsberg (bass, vocals) personify the spirit of exploration and innovation that forms the core of the American musical

tradition.

The late Bluegrass legend Doc Watson said, “The Kruger Brothers are just about as fine a band as I’ve ever played with.”

The Kruger Brothers will perform Saturday, September 22, at 6 p.m., as part of the Street Music on Paris Avenue free concert series, a gift from the Town of Port Royal and produced by ARTworks. All the concerts are free, just bring your chairs and dancing shoes. The rain location will be at The Shed, adjacent to the street venue, in Port Royal.

THE INDIE FILM CORNER

By Dennis Tavernetti

“Last Call at the Oasis” from The Documentary Series presented by Emerging Pictures in HD at USCB Center For the Arts on Thursday, September 27 at 6:30 p.m. with introductory remarks by local environmental leaders.

Synopsis: The global water crisis will be the central issue facing our world this century.

We can manage this problem, but only if we are willing to act now.

The film is a powerful new documentary that shatters myths behind our most precious resource.

Ratings & Reviews: Internet rating sites, IMDb: 5.0; Rotten Tomatoes: Critics: 86/Audience: 85. High marks. Critics: New York Times: “scary ... we’re screwed”; Washington Post: “lucid, emotional portrait of looming crisis.”

Previewer Comments: Documentaries are created by directors to influence the audience in regard to the issue they are showcasing.

They are not usually balanced with pros and cons, and this one is no exception in expressing its view point of “wake up before it is too late!” Having said that, this film is purposefully alarmist, but very well done and hopefully will stimulate conversation and action. Water is one of those things we don’t think about, until we don’t have enough, and/or what we have is not safe and then we are in big trouble. Rainmakers are in short supply and developers seem to gravitate to developing areas in hostile environments of low water supply. Don’t just think Las Vegas and the Middle East countries, but think Los Angeles which imports almost 100% of its water from hundreds of miles outside the region, yet has been populated with millions of people.

Rated: PG-13 for some disturbing content and brief strong language.

“Monty Python and the Holy Grail” from The Cult/Classics Series presented

by Emerging Pictures in HD at USCB Center For the Arts Friday, Sept. 28 at 6:30 p.m.

Synopsis: From its opening multi-language titles to the closing arrest of the entire Dark Ages cast by modern-day bobbies, this over 30-year-old film helped to define “irreverence” and became an instant cult classic. King Arthur and his knights embark on a low-budget search for the Grail, encountering many very silly obstacles. The Pythonites savage the legend of King Arthur, with an unending stream of anachronistic one-liners, non sequiturs and slapstick set pieces.

Ratings & Reviews: Internet rating sites, IMDb: 8.4; Rotten Tomatoes: Critics: 94/ Audience: 95. Outstanding marks. Critics: Time: “... as funny as a movie can get”; New York Times: “ ... marvelously lunatic endeavor”; Chicago Tribune: “... incredibly silly film of great humor, brilliant design and epic insanity.”

Previewer Comments: Films become cult classics because they touch unusual chords in the audience, which they have not experienced before and are not likely to be tingled by future films in the same way. Usually they surprise with their originality and effectiveness and in this case, irreverence. This film has been remastered into HD digital greatness, with far better quality that its original low budget allowed.

If you have seen it before: see it again; if you have never seen it, here is your chance.

Rated: Originally Unrated, but now PG-13.

Tickets for adults are $7, seniors $6, students $5. Call USCB Center for the Arts box office at 843-521-4145 or purchase day of performance. Box office opens one hour prior to show time.

Beaufort celebrates Chilean Independence Day

B

esides the many Northerners and Midwesterners who add their flair to Beaufort’s social scene, there is a sizable “International Set” here with residents from European countries such as England, France, Germany and Brussels, and from Asia and South America, to name just a few.

This past weekend, it was the Chileans and their friends who got together at the lovely Walling Grove home of Monica Codman-Nicholls and Andrew Nicholls to celebrate Chile’s Independence Day from Spain, which occurred in 1810.

The party’s fun-spirited hostess, Monica, is from a distinguished Chilean family, and came to the U.S. to attend Harvard University. She met and married a Boston “Brahman” and raised a family on Beacon Hill, with the Kennedys as next door neighbors. Her second marriage to Andrew brought her to Beaufort where she has been actively involved in charities including The Red Door and DragonBoat Beaufort. Chileans all over the world celebrate with empanadas, wine and dancing; and in Chile, the Independence Day parties can last three days!

Another Chilean, Beaufort Spanish teacher Josefina Blanc, was there with her husband and her son, who was dressed as a Chilean bandito. Monica joked that she had both the tallest Chilean ( Josefina, who is more than 6 feet tall) and the shortest Chilean (herself at 5’2”) at the same party. Mayor Keyserling attended along with 30 other great guests. Chilean wine, food and potent pisco sours, made

by Andrew, were served to toast Chilean freedom. Viva Chile!

ROTARY CHARITY SHRIMP RACE SET Highly trained and motivated rubber shrimp will mount their inner tubes and take to the water on October 6 as the Sea Island Rotary Club presents the 4th Annual Charity Shrimp Race at the Beaufort Shrimp Festival.

“The principal goal of this event is to raise money for our local charities,” said Rion Salley, club president. “Our signature charities include: CAPA (Child Abuse Prevention Association), Hope Haven of the Lowcountry, Lowcountry Habitat for Humanity, and various Rotary service projects.”

The Charity Shrimp Race is the world’s largest Shrimp Race and the primary annual fundraiser for the Sea Island Rotary Club. For the past several years, they have been able to donate more than $50,000 annually toward charity, said Salley.

“This is a wonderful way to help charity and maybe win something in return.”

The race is fun to watch for kids and adults. It is held along the sea wall at Henry Chambers Waterfront Park during the Beaufort Shrimp Festival.

The race begins around 2 p.m. when 5,000 rubber shrimp wearing inner tubes are released from the nets of an authentic shrimp trawler into the Beaufort River. The shrimp float along in tidal current to the finish line.

Each shrimp wears a unique number corresponding to one of the numbers on a purchased adoption ticket.

The shrimp have been training all summer and are anxiously awaiting the chance at being the first across the finish line. The winning shrimp wins $2,000 for the holder of the ticket that matches the unique number on that shrimp. The second place finish wins $1,000, third place wins $750, fourth place wins $500, fifth place wins $250 and 6th through 10th places each win $100.

More exciting, if any of the first 10 finishing shrimp matches the “million dollar lucky number,” the adopter of that shrimp wins $1,000,000! The million-dollar lucky number is selected at random by a third-party insurance provider before the race.

Tickets are on sale now and available at www.RotaryShrimpRace. com or at local businesses such as Beaufort Chiropractic, BJHCHS Port Royal Medical Center, CBC National Bank, Bundy Appraisal & Management, CAPA’s Closet, Island Podiatry, Lowcountry Habitat ReStore, Harvey’s Barber Shop, Levin, Gilley & Fisher law firm, Palmetto State Bank, Regions Bank, Sanctuary Golf Club, Therapeutic Solutions, Wardle Family YMCA, Wells Fargo Bank, and from any Sea Island Rotary member.

Marine awarded nation’s highest civilian honor

By Sgt. Marcy Sanchez

From 1942 to 1949, during a time of war and segregation, a distinguished group of men undertook arduous basic training at Camp Montford Point, N.C. More than 60 years later, the Marine Corps’ first African American Marines were honored for their service.

On November 11, 2011, Congress passed a legislation to honor the service of men who trained at the segregated boot camp. The Surviving Marines were honored with the Congressional Gold Medal, the nation’s highest civilian award.

The Rev. Frankie Washington was awarded his congressional gold medal replica at a ceremony aboard the Air Station, Aug. 31. The ceremony included members of Washington’s family and Marines of Marine Aircraft Group 39. “ They paved the way for Marines, not just myself because I’m African American but the whole Marine Corps, that’s why we’re so diverse now,” said Cpl.

Rev. Frankie Washington was awarded his congressional gold medal replica for serving as one of the Marines of Montford Point.

Gordon Musel, an administrative clerk for Marine Aircraft Group 31. “If it wasn’t for their perseverance and heart to keep going the Marine Corps wouldn’t be the same.”

The Marines of Montford Point served in multiple wars throughout the 20th Century and despite the segregated training, excelled in ranks both enlisted and officer.

During the ceremony, the Marines of MAG31 were privileged with words from Washington, a resident of the Lowcountry, describing his experiences and lessons learned from life and the Corps.

“There isn’t anything better than Marines,” said Washington. “Keep on working, be faithful to each other, be honest with each other, because when you get in the woods out there you’re going to need all the help you can get.”

“It’s a huge honor to be a part of this, and to hear his stories,” said Musel. “I wish we had more time to talk to him.”

The congressional gold medal is awarded to those who have performed an achievement that has an impact on American history and culture.

Deer hunting season sweeps across Lowcountry Cpl. Justin M. Boling

Staff Writer Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort’s deer season officially began Sept. 15.

The Air Station offers acres of hunting for both shotgun and bow hunters.

The Natural Resources and Environmental Affairs Office aboard the

air station will hold their annual hunting class upon request.

“The class basically presents the rules and regulations that hunters need to follow to protect themselves and the environment,” said Gary Herndon, the Air Station game warden. “The class takes about an hour but we cover

everything to keep you out of trouble.

“It is an annual requirement to hunt on the Air Station, so if you don’t complete the course, you don’t hunt.”

Any Tri-Command active duty service member or civilian employee can hunt aboard the Air Station with a valid South Carolina hunting license.

South Carolina hunting permits can be purchased at numerous locations or online at the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources’ website www.dnr. sc.gov. For service members, the price of a big game license is $6 but to be able to hunt at local wildlife management areas it will cost $30.50.

United Way helps fight foreclosures One of United Way of the Lowcountry’s agencies, the Consumer Credit Counseling Service, works with families every day who are experiencing financial concerns. Last year, Consumer Credit assisted almost 8,000 individuals and families through counseling and education programs.

One particular case involved a middleaged man named George who was born and raised in Savannah, started his own business and moved to Atlanta.

“Then tragedy struck,” George recalled.

“My mom, who is my best friend in the world, was struck with cancer. It is a rare form of cancer that has been spreading throughout her body. I was devastated.”

Two years ago, George decided to move back to Savannah to care for his mother and also to provide financial support as the mother’s medications were almost $3,000 per month. As George’s mother required constant care, he was unable to work or continue his business, which subsequently dissolved.

George ran through his savings, sold his truck and even his personal belongings to assist in keeping the household expenses up to date. The mother, in due course, qualified for hospice care and when George sought assistance through Consumer Credit Counseling Service for free foreclosure prevention counseling, they were almost

six months past due on the mortgage.

The mortgage company wanted to foreclose on the property unless they received $6,567 to bring the mortgage current.

George shared that the mortgage payment was originally around $800 a month, but had increased steadily to where it was now $1,149 per month. Consumer Credit Counseling Service quickly identified that it was an Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM). George also mentioned that he could also work on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays since hospice was caring for the mother on those days.

Consumer Credit worked with George on evaluating income and expenses and in negotiating with the lender on an arrangement to cure the default, avoid foreclosure and move the mortgage into a fixed interest rate loan.

The lender, after receiving a hardship packet and analysis of the financial situation from Consumer Credit, agreed that if the client made three consecutive monthly payments of $750, they would pull the mortgage out of default and set the mortgage up on a fixed interest loan.

The monthly payments going forward would be $747.39.

This amounted to a savings of $400 each month for the family. Translating the monthly savings to a 30-year mortgage, this meant a savings of $144,000 over the life of the loan.

“Without the help of Consumer Credit, we would have lost the house and my 79-year-old mother, who probably only has a few months to live, would have been put out in the streets. Thank you and God bless you from the bottom of my heart,” George said of Consumer Credit Counseling Service.

Today, the United Way of the Lowcountry Board of Directors announced gifts and pledges have been received totaling $775,136, about 28 percent of the organization’s 2012 Fall goal of $2.8 million.

“We have a great start, but we have a long way to go to meet the needs of this community,” said Sandra Chavez, chairwoman of the Board of Directors.

“For countless people like George, Consumer Credit Counseling Service can save homes. Saving homes can help save lives — that’s what United Way of the Lowcountry is all about.”

history with holly

By Nancy Marlene Easler

I was 13 in the summer of 1984. I helped my aunt and uncle with their bait shop in Lobeco. I remember heading shrimp and emptying out crab cages. The main thing I remember that made me fall in love with fishing is catching my first fish. It was beautiful.

I cleaned it and gave it to my Granddad Smith. It made him so happy.

Since that day, I can now be considered a river rat.

I still go fishing any chance I get.

lunch bunch Fill up on the scrumptious home-cooked breakfast, lunch and dinner items at

MIKKI’S

By Pamela Brownstein

The little white, one-room school house on Parris Avenue that once was the location for Suwan Thai has reemerged as Mikki’s Schoolhouse Diner, where all-American cuisine is served seven days a week.

The chef and owner, Mikki Rolain, said she has always loved to cook and decided to put her many years of experience working in the food and beverage industry to good use by opening her own restaurant.

The Lunch Bunch was treated to big portions of homemade meals that were big on flavor and variety.

We started by sharing a mushroom pierogi appetizer that pleased each of our diverse palates. The pierogis with generous mushroom filling were from the neighboring Cori’s Pierogi Hut, and topped with Mikki’s own yummy sauce.

For the main course, David was excited to order off the breakfast menu, which is served all day, and thoroughly enjoyed his meat lovers omelet made with bacon, sausage, ham, cheese and tomatoes, and a side of toast.

Buck was equally enthusiastic at the sight of his Monte Cristo sandwich, one of his all-time favorites. Between the

We were lucky to have guest Lunch Buncher Victoria Boone (wife of Buck and mother of David!) join us for the first time. She ordered the Eden salad, and the colorful dish with green

apples, mandarin oranges, strawberries, walnuts, fried goat cheese and shredded mozzarella not only looked good, but tasted good too. Victoria appreciated that the signature raspberry vinaigrette dressing was lightly applied so that it enhanced the freshness of the salad, instead of overpowering the flavors or weighing it down, as is often the case.

Nikki tried the Rolanti sub, served warm with ham, turkey, salami, Swiss cheese and signature sauce on a hoagie roll and a side of chips. Other enticing sandwiches include fried peanut butter and jelly, the “Uncle Harold,” and the Polish Boy. With choices like that, I was torn about what to order, so Mikki suggested her homemade broccolini carbanera.

The pasta dish tossed with red roasted peppers, mushrooms, broccoli and prosciutto in an aioli sauce and a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese did not disappoint, and was very plentiful.

Mikki, originally from Ohio, lives in Port Royal with her husband and 10-year-old son, and her mother, Pat, helps out at the restaurant. She is partnering with other locals such as Cori Fulton with the Pierogi Hut, as mentioned earlier, and by displaying the beautiful photography of Dr. Marikay Campbell from down the street at the Port Royal Veterinary Hospital.

When asked what her secret is for good food, Mikki says with a smile, “That I cook from the heart.”

Fine wines from Southern France

By Celia Strong

Many readers, in the last couple of years, have asked for wines from southern France. And not just any wines, but wines that were sampled during visits to this area. And, further, not just wines from the area, but good ones that didn’t cost much while there. Of course, if some of the wines were available here before, they sure weren’t available at good prices. But, now, finally, we’ve found some — the little appellations from the Lanquedoc-Roussillon area that are really good wines when their prices are right. (Obviously they aren’t as good when they cost too much, right?)

So, let’s look at the LanquedocRoussillon, quickly, and then two smaller appellations in the area. I suspect you will recognize them as soon as we get there.

History of the region Lanquedoc-Roussillon is a fairly large area, more than 10,000 square miles.

It is located in southern France with a border along Spain and Mediterranean coastline that runs eastward to Provence.

Historically, and hence politically, the area is a mumbo jumbo of cultures and languages. Before the 20th century, Occitan was the language spoken in Lanquedoc and Catalan was spoken in Roussillon. In the wine industry, this diversity (to use a positive word for it) resulted in many sub-zones, styles and grape varieties. The Lanquedoc has belonged to France since the 13th century and the Roussillon was acquired from Spain in the mid-17th century.

(The two regions were joined into one administrative unit in the late 1980’s.)

There are about 700,000 acres of vineyards in the area now, which makes this the largest wine-producing area in France. Actually, they make more wine than the whole United States.

Wines in this appellation can be traced back to the Greeks in the 5th century BC. These vineyards, along with some in Provence, are the oldest in France. From the 4th century through the 18th and early 19th, Lanquedoc had a reputation for high quality wines. In the 14th century, in Paris, certain wines were prescribed for their healing powers.

Celia Strong works at Bill’s Liquor & Fine Wines on Lady’s Island.

Lucky patients! In the late 19th century, with the coming of the Industrial Age and mass production techniques, wine makers started making as much as they could, to the detriment of quality. They used high yielding grape varieties and even blended in red wines from Algeria to make more and more. Phylloxera invasions in the 19th century hit these vineyards like the rest of France, but American rootstock that was resistant to phylloxera and was used to replant other vineyard regions did not grow well in the limestone soil here. Instead, replanting was done with lower quality rootstocks from Amaron, Alicante Bouschet (one of the only varieties that actually has red juice) and Carignan vines.

But, Carignan is one of the grapes in one of our wines this week so we’re going to skip forward to it and some other varieties that grow in LanquedocRoussillon. Carignan is a high yielding grape, believed to have originated in Spain (Carinena). Once it was used as part of Rioja red wines. From Spain it moved to Algeria and, then, into southern France. In wine making, Carignan is usually a blending grape, used for its deep color. It is usually blended with Cinsaut, Grenache, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Mourvedre, many of these planted across southern France. Old vine Carignan, though, like from Corbieres (anyone recognize this appellation?) can make exceptional wines.

Another, also lesser known, grape of Lanquedoc-Roussillon wines is Mourvedre. This variety is also probably from Spain (known as Mataro and Monastrell there) and is also used across southern France. This grape tends to make wines with a lot of tannins and high alcohol levels. And some experts say wines with Mourvedre have gamey and earthy notes in them and soft red

Our two wines this week come from the Gerard Bertrand company. The winery, located in the Lanquedoc-Roussillon region of France, makes Bertrand Corbieres and Bertrand Minervois, both really good wines that are finally available here for a good price. fruit flavors. It is a harder grape to grow than Carignan because it likes lots of sun on the grapes themselves, which means viewer leaves on the vines and wet roots. Of course, too much sun and too much water on the roots are just as bad as not enough.

ABOUT THE WINES Our two wines this week come from Gerard Bertrand. Born in 1965, Bertrand got his first wine experience from his father, Georges, at the age of 10 — a grape harvest at Domaine de Villermajou in Corbieres. At 19, Gerard started his rugby career and that lasted for 10 years and included being captain of the Stade Francais rugby team, all the while continuing work with his father.

Georges died in 1987, and Gerard set up his Gerard Bertrand company, the name of our winery today. In 2002, the company took over Chateau l’Hospitalet. This became the center for his wine business, the flagship label of his wines and the center for his annual jazz festival. In 2006, the LanquedocRoussillion region adopted a “marque,” or slogan we might call it — “Sud de France”(southern France). This “marque” is used to help consumers recognize the region, not only for its wines, but cheeses, olives oils and pies. Bertrand’s jazz festival, held at the Chateau l’Hospitalet, helps promote everything the Lanquedoc area has to offer.

So, our first wine is the Bertrand Corbieres. It is made from 40% Syrah, 40% Grenache and 20% Mourvedre.

Corbieres is the largest appellation in southern France and the fourth largest in France. As stretched out as it is, there are variations in wine styles throughout because of different soil types and micro-climates. For this Corbieres, only

very ripe grapes are selected. These are de-stemmed before they go into vats to macerate for 10 to 15 days. Each of the three grape varieties are fermented separately and then blended after they see what each wine is on its own. The blend is aged in French oak barrels for eight months.

The wine is dark ruby in color with rich and concentrated black fruit aromas. The flavors are black fruits and red berries with subtle baking spice and vanilla undertones. It’s full-bodied with a nice round mouth-feel and a long, long finish. At $9.99 we finally have a Corbieres just like they have in France.

Big, rich red wine at an every day price!

And, wine number two is the Bertrand Minervois — another appellation some of you have been looking for. This wine is 50% Syrah and 50% Carignan. Of this week’s two wines, I suspect this is my favorite, but another tasting is going to have to happen to be sure. Darn! These grapes are all picked by hand and, again, each wine is made separately and then blended. Partial carbonic maceration is done with both wines. It is aged in Bordeaux barrels for eight months and then aged in the bottle for several more months before its release.

The black fruit flavors are also up front in this wine, along with black olives. It is richer and more elegant than the Corbieres, with aromas that include prunes, roasted coffee and black currants. As you swirl your glass of this Minervois, you can picture yourself in the Lanquedoc-Roussillon. Maybe even at the jazz festival? (Close your eyes and try. The 14+ percent alcohol will help!)

This wine is a steal at $11.99.

There you are. Finally, “Sud de France” wines like you get to drink when you’re there, and priced right. Enjoy!

Learn about canine behavior with Tracie Korol WHAT TO DO WHEN YOUR DOG HAS CANCER

Part I: Don’t despair, just care There are few words that will cause a pet lover’s heart to skip a beat more than “Your dog has cancer.” I’ve heard that sentence twice and can personally speak to the sense of helplessness one feels when your Best Friend is really sick.

Because cancer is such a frightening disease, it’s easy to panic and feel overwhelmed when presented with scary diagnoses and myriad treatment options.

Here’s what I’ve learned: Cancer is a unique state whereby the body’s healing system fails to eliminate damaged cells. It is a chronic disease, an aberration of the immune system.

While most autoimmune diseases represent a failure of the healing system from an over-active immune system, cancer represents the extreme opposite.

The immune system is hypoactive (underactive) at least in regard to the tumor.

Cancer is a failure of the healing system that joins with irregularities in a dog’s genetic make-up.

Each day of your dog’s life all of the genes of each cell are subjected to a barrage of toxic chemicals that have the potential to cause mutation in DNA. One category of toxic chemicals comes from within the cell. These toxic chemicals are normal byproducts of daily activities within each cell.

For the most part, cells have developed

mechanisms for detoxifying these waste products. However, some of these toxic waste products can escape the protective mechanisms and attack the cell’s DNA. Another category of toxic chemicals is components of the normal diet. Every diet contains plant matter. All plants have developed various chemical mechanisms to evade being eaten by their natural predators: insects, bacteria, fungus and viruses. The chemicals that are toxic to the natural predators of plants are also toxic to the living cells of your dog in many instances. Some of these naturally occurring chemicals can cause mutations in the DNA, too.

A third category of toxic chemicals is the man-made variety. There is a long list of man-made chemicals that are known to cause mutations in the DNA of cells and result in cancer. They are in our homes, clothes, yards and foods. It is becoming

more and more difficult to escape them.

Viruses can also cause gene mutation.

However, there are very few viruses that have been proven to cause cancer in dogs, and at this time it does not appear that viruses are a significant cause of cancer in dogs. Irradiation (the sun’s rays) can also cause cancer. Cancer caused by irradiation is uncommon in domestic animals except those individuals without pigmentation in their skin. Lifetime exposure to the sun can cause cancer on the white ears or white face of dogs, also on the tongue and gums. These are known as acquired cancers.

Inherited cancer is somewhat different.

Dogs do not inherit cancer per se. Dogs (and people) inherit a susceptibility to

develop cancer. Without an elaborate digression into the basics of gene theory, suffice it to say, it is possible to be stuck with an unfortunate combination of good and bad genes. (Send me a note if you want to know details.)

Unlike many other animals, dogs are susceptible to the same types of cancers for which humans are at risk. Dogs, for example, are the only non-human species in which spontaneous prostate cancer occurs. According to Texas A&M University, College of Veterinary Medicine, dogs have 35 times as much skin cancer as do humans, four times as many breast tumors, eight times as much bone cancer, and twice as high an incidence of leukemia. The only types of cancer that are more frequently seen in humans than in small animals are not surprising: lung cancer is 7 times higher in humans, and stomach/intestinal malignancies are 13 times more frequent in man than in dogs.

Cancer rates increase in dogs as they age.

It is the leading cause of death in dogs over 10 years.
