Feeding your family with nutri-ent dense foods can be as simple as making a few better-for-you choices. By definition, superfoods are calorie

sparse and packed with beneficial nutrients that add health and flavor to meals. Because the human body can-not create these nourishing elements alone, the addition of these foods is essential for regular function and to

defend against certain diseases and conditions.

The next time you visit the grocery store, stock up on some of these deli-cious foods.

Super NutrientsMany of the foods labeled as superfoods contain one or more of the following nutrients, which can be beneficial when added to your family’s diet:• Antioxidants: These compounds have been linked

with helping memory function, reducing the signs of aging and battling diseases, such as cancer.

• Calcium: This important mineral is necessary for muscle function and to keep bones and teeth healthy and strong.

• Fiber: An essential part of a healthy diet, fiber aids the body with food digestion. It has also been linked to maintaining a healthy weight, as well as a lowered risk of diabetes and heart disease.

• Protein: The human body requires protein to build and maintain skin, muscles and bones.

• Potassium: A diet lacking this important mineral may increase the risk of high blood pressure, cancer, stroke and infertility.

• Omega-3s: These essential fatty acids are necessary for many body functions and can also reduce the risk of arthritis, decrease the symptoms of ADHD and lower levels of depression.

• Vitamin C: As an antioxidant, vitamin C can reduce the risk of heart disease, arthritis and cancer. It is also a popular remedy for the common cold.

By BLAKE BELDENStaff Writer

HOPEWELL — When Elijah Sample was two and a half months old, his parents began to notice that something was peculiar about him. Unlike his two older siblings, Elijah was very small and would not eat very much. Eventually, they began to realize that he may be demonstrating symptoms of Down Syndrome.

Elijah’s mother, Tara, who went through her pregnancy normally, brought this to the attention of her doctor, who said that Elijah probably didn’t have Down Syndrome and they would test him in a couple of months.

Not satisfied with this answer, Tara said that she and her husband, Nicholas, brought Elijah to Virginia Commonwealth University Medical Center in Richmond for a genetic consult, where the difficult news was delivered that Elijah did in fact have Mosaic Down Syndrome, one of three different types of the genetic condition.

Two years later, when Elijah’s blood tests were producing strange results, they decided to perform a bone marrow biopsy on him, a process that included a chromosome analysis. The results of the chromosome analysis indicated that in addition to Mosaic Down Syndrome, Elijah also had a chromosome disorder called Trisomy 14, a disorder so rare that less than 100 people have it worldwide.

Characteristics of Trisomy 14 may include growth delays before birth, a failure to

grow and develop at the normal rate, delayed acquisition of certain mental and motor skills, as well as certain physical abnormalities.

Now at the age of four, despite the unfortunate nature of his genetic

conditions, Elijah and his family have been able to overcome certain setbacks.

“He’s very high functioning. He does really [well]. He goes to school with typical kids ... and he functions not too much differently than” the other

kids at school, Tara said as she smiled over at Elijah watching “Beethoven” in the corner of the room. “He’s a little delayed and has physical delays, and he likes to run away, but he does pretty [well].”

After learning to cope with the reality of Elijah’s disorders, Tara realized that if Elijah had not had Down Syndrome, but instead only had the chromosome disorder, she would not have been presented with all of the resources that eventually led to the discovery of his Trisomy 14 because all of the resources she utilized were from discussion with other mothers of children with Down Syndrome.

“I realized there needed to be something here where families could get resources and information for kids of all different types of special needs, not limited to any particular one,” Tara said.

So, Tara created ThisABILITY, a nonprofit organization aimed to do exactly that, provide an outlet and forum for families with special needs children, through which families are directed to a plethora of local, state and national resources as well as information and support groups related to each family’s specific needs.

Tara said that there are so many resources available for all families, but that so many times families are either unaware or too preoccupied, especially families with single mothers, to gain access to these resources.

“One of my friends, her son is 5, he functions like an 8-month- old. He’s wheelchair bound. She’s with him 24/7. It was hard for her to find a nurse, but she is able to get a nurse now that she has a lot of the resources that so many people don’t,” Tara said, underlining just one of multiple examples of how someone has been largely helped out.

Tara said they will receive calls all the time from parents around the nation who are seeking guidance or information with regard to special needs resources or services, and that a lot of times parents are misinformed about what they can cover through Medicaid, especially diapers for children older than 3 years old.

“It’s just vital to families’ well being to have a lot of these resources to make their lives easier,” Tara said, stressing the importance for her to kickstart ThisABILITY.

PHOTO BY BLAKE BELDENHeather O’Brien, a registered nurse for Bon Secours, stands with her daughter, Chloe, who has Down Syndrome. Heather has provided a lot of support for ThisABILITY since its establishment.


Established in 2012, ThisABILITY earned it’s 501(c)(3) eligibility earlier this year, a step that has made it a little easier to receive additional funding, although it is still a difficult task, Tara said.

Currently, the organization is run by Tara with the help of her mother, Janet Triggs, and a few other dedicated individuals who have helped provide labor, accounting and social work services. There is not a specific location for the organization, and Tara will field calls, send emails or make appointments out of the sign shop she currently runs on Sycamore Avenue in Hopewell.

ThisABILITY’s ultimate goal is to be able to open a unique, local center to offer emotional support and services for families with specials needs children. With this center, the organization would strive to heighten awareness in the community, work with other regional agencies to provide families with necessary services, offer workshops and training classes and create a comfortable atmosphere where families can bring their children and interact with other special needs children through arts and craft other various activities.

Eventually, Tara said they hope to open a thrift store where proceeds would go toward maintaining the support center, and down the road they want to offer job training for disabled teens and adults through the thrift shop.

“That’s something that’s really important because they can function in normal society [most] of the time. They just need to be given the right opportunities and training to do so,” Tara said.

To achieve this goal, Tara said they’re going to need assistance from an outside party to donate funding or space. Currently, they have some funding from Wal-Mart, however, Tara said she wants to reserve it for when they actually have a space to establish the center.

“It’s been hard to find that [space]. ... I don’t think we’re going to find it until we find someone that has a passion for children with special needs or people with intellectual disabilities,” Tara said, mentioning that anyone who does donate space would be able to write a good portion of it off on their taxes.

Tara has four children, and her husband, Nicholas, is an officer at Riverside Regional Jail.It is estimated that almost 14 percent of children under the age of 18 years old have special health care needs in the United States, and more than one in five households with children have at least one child with a special need, according to a 2005-2006 national report conducted by the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services.

Approximately 6,000 babies are born with Down Syndrome every year in the United States, according to the National Down Syndrome Society.

So envision this! The City Point 5K is coming on October 25th, 2014. This kind of yearly event propels you in a direction that seems motivated by an intrinsic desire that we all have to get healthier. You decide to make a life changing decision by signing up EARLY just to be sure that there is no backing out. Now you are hooked in it! The inner excitement of being on the right path. You are doing what feels good to you, and what you know you had been meaning to do so many years before. It’s my contention that the mere presence of passion within you is all the inspiration you need to fulfill your dreams of being a part of the LARGEST 5K IN THE STATE OF VIRGINIA. Petanjali first described this sense of inspiration many centuries ago when he said,“When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds: Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far

than you ever dreamed yourself to be.” When you’re enthusiastic, nothing seems difficult. When you become passionate about your health, nothing can stand in your way: Family dramas become meaningless, money is no longer the main issue, and the 5K no longer becomes something you have to do? It becomes something you GET to do. Hopewell is seeing somewhat of a ‘Renaissance’ within it’s historic boundaries and 5K has been an important part of the transformation. We have seen thousand of participants over the years remove the roadblocks from their lives in order to fully participate in this annual signature event. This event is build to be community friendly. It is challenging to everyone from the beginner, to the accomplished competitive athlete. A healthy community is a HAPPY community which will attract more heath conscious businesses to the

city. This is a welcomed boost to tourism in the area as thousand will descend on this city to be a part of their own individual ‘extraordinary project’. Not to mention the impact on health conscious economic development that comes with a new ‘Renaissance’. It begs one to ask the question, could Hopewell be gradually realizing itself as ‘Health-well” in the sense of being a safe haven of healthy and happy people who have come together to enjoy the health conscious culture that seems to be peaking it’s way through, as the sun peaks through the clouds after the storm? This year can truly be the year for a transformation from a city of hard work to a city of HEART HEALTH. The 5K is not just a race. It binds all the participants in a common pursue for better more vibrant health. On October 25th, memories will be created in Hopewell which are joyful, meaningful, and lasting. We no longer have to be a slave to our jobs, computers, and smart phones. The timing could never be more perfect for families and business to make this an annual event that strengthens the HEART of this wonderful city. Take it from me! I am a cardiologist. I know about matters of the heart. for information about how you can register online for the event go to www.citypoint5k.org

Crisis InterventionTeam responds to Tri-citiesAnswers calls for those in needBY CAITLIN DAVIS SeNIor STAff WrITer

When Lt. Adrienne Gaines, a dispatcher with the Petersburg Police Department, picked up the phone for a 911 call, a man on the other end told her he wanted to kill himself. After a series of questions and through her training with the Crisis Intervention Team, Gaines was able to save the man’s life. The South Central Virginia CIT includes agencies in and around the Tri-Cities, and are not just limited to police departments but hospitals, sheriff’s departments, and commonwealth’s attorney offices.

Kevin Johnson, with the Hopewell Police Department, said the training, which began in the 1980s and has been in the area since 2010, teaches officers how to deal with people in crisis. He said it’s about slowing down and learning there is a better way to deal with those in need.

“We’re teaching people that there’s sometimes a better way to deal with things,” Johnson said. “We sometimes need to slow down a bit, talk to people, try to get more information about what’s going on before we just storm in, as people think we classically do.”

Emanuel Chambliss, a first sergeant with the Petersburg Police Department, said the training is also about identifying those with the need for further care — care that they may not receive behind bars.

“We found through our training that people suffering from mental illness stay in jail nine times longer than you or I would,” Chambliss said. “They get arrested for something simple, a misdemeanor, and while they are incarcerated, they commit another offense and wind up staying up there even longer because of the second offense.”

The training for the CIT, which involves a 40-hour training for officers and an eight-hour training for dispatchers, teaches officers how to ask questions to de-escalate the situation and gives those going through the classes a chance to step inside the shoes of someone suffering from a mental illness, a chance to experience a life they had never imagined.

A consultant from a pharmaceutical company brings in a simulator that creates the experience of a person suffering from schizophrenia. The 4-D simulator gives the trainee the experience of hearing voices, smell, sight and feel. Johnson said the simulator creates sights that are not there and sounds that are not there, both typical of a schizophrenic patient.

The training, which is free to officers and is offered at no cost to departments, also involves site visits to Poplar Springs Hospital, Riverside Regional Jail and Sycamore Center, to name a few, role playing various crisis scenarios involving possible suicide calls and non-threatening crisis calls.

Johnson said when the program was first introduced in the area in 2010, many were non-believers, voicing their concern it was a way for someone to skip out of serving jail time.

“It took getting some people through the class and really

seeing that we’re not here to get somebody out of trouble,” he said. “We’re here to help somebody get the help that they need.” Chambliss, an instructor for the CIT program along with Gaines and Johnson, said that since the training has been brought to the Tri-Cities, many agencies have seen a difference in their officers.

“Officers that have received CIT training, agencies that have received CIT training, lawsuits have gone down, officer injuries have gone down, fewer SWAT team call outs,” he said. “There’s been decreases in those areas based on CIT.”

CHANGING THE APPROACHCIT starts the moment when the phone rings, Johnson said. He said it is not uncommon for the department to receive calls where the person on the other end of the line says, “I just wanted to call to let you know I’m going to kill myself.”

“If the dispatchers handle it wrong we [officers] never get a chance,” Johnson said.

Without hesitation, Gaines said “I get those calls.”

The day Gaines received the call from the man with the noose around his neck was a call she has not forgotten. She asked him a series of questions, which got him to open up regarding his problem of keeping food on the table due to his recent job loss. At the time of her conversation with him, Gaines was unaware that the caller had the noose around his neck.

“I was the last person he was calling before he jumped off that chair,” she said. Gaines said she was able to have the man remove the noose from his neck and get help.

The program has also shed light on mental health illnesses, a light that Johnson said has needed to start burning brightly.

“It’s uncomfortable,” he said. “Police officers are uncomfortable talking about what medications are you on. ... We’re thinking you need to stop what you’re doing or you’re going to jail.”

Chambliss said one of the most powerful moments in class was when the instructors wrote the word mental health on the board and had those in the class express words associated with the illness. Johnson said some terms that came up were “a few sandwiches short of a picnic” and “crazy.”

Then the word cancer was put on the board and the terms were much more somber.

“There’s derogatory terms that aren’t meant to be mean but they’re not really giving mental health any legitimacy,” Johnson said. “Both are illnesses and people don’t want either one. The majority of people with mental health problems would change for cancer any day.”

PERSONAL STORIESDuring the training, all three learned that in today’s society, one in every four people suffers from a mental illness. For Johnson this statistic hits close to home.

Johnson speaks openly about his current treatment for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder from his time serving in the Gulf War. He uses his life experience to not only teach those in CIT about the illness but to share that it does not define him as a person and hopefully inspire others who might be suffering to seek treatment.

“I tell it in class. I run through some scenarios that I think affected me while I was over there and it’s OK,” Johnson said. “You go through some things to learn how to deal with that, you take some medicine, and you’re back to being a productive member of society.”

For Johnson, it is not only his training but his life experience that has helped him transform as a police officer. His experience has also helped save lives.

One afternoon, the Hopewell Police Department received a call from a man standing on the top of his garage, a fall that could have killed him. The officers on scene were going through the CIT training they had learned. They were engaging in conversation with him but for whatever reason, could not establish a connection.

Johnson arrived on scene and started talking to the man. “My name is Kevin. ... I don’t want you to jump. Can you just talk to me for a little while?” After about two hours, the man climbed down from the garage roof and rode with Johnson to the hospital where he received treatment.


“People do things when they’re in crisis that they normally wouldn’t do,” Johnson said. “So if they need some sort of counseling or medicine, it’s not going to help them sit in jail when they should be seeing a doctor.”

Gaines, Johnson and Chambliss each stressed that the CIT training is a tool for officers and the main concern is not only the safety of those who called 911 but an officer’s safety.

“The main thing is the officer’s safety. We stress that in the training,” Chambliss said. “These techniques don’t always work and if we have to, we’ll go back to the old way of doing things. ... We’ve had some instances where we’ve talked to people and it just did not work and in the end we went back and worked the techniques.”

Chambliss experienced this firsthand when he arrived to a call where a daughter had a butcher knife in her hand, threatening her mother. He said he felt comfortable to get “closer than what I should have” to engage her in conversation and was able to get her to put the knife down.

Chambliss said after speaking to the daughter, he found out she had recently stopped taking her medication. Officers tried to get her to go to the hospital to get treatment, but she refused.

“We had to go back and physically take her into custody,” he said. “But CIT still worked because she put the knife down.”

It is clear the CIT has changed the lives of Gaines, Chambliss and Johnson as police officers, and the three are committed to bringing that education to as many people as possible. Johnson said the training, which has reached almost 400 people since last year, involves judges, magistrates, nurses, firemen, police, deputies, paramedics and police academy staff to name a few.

Out of 326 officers from 12 local agencies, 191 have completed the training, from July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014, for a total of 58 percent of the officers, a number that continues to be on the rise as the upcoming training classes are at capacity, all three confirmed.

“It showed me how I can utilize empathy and concern to assist people that do call,” Gaines said of her training. “And it’s helped me as person actually, where I was more abrasive, now it’s actually taught me to have empathy for people. ... It gives you better insight. ... I love it. I just love it.”

Chambliss said it has helped him smooth out his rough exterior and instead of walking into a crisis situation as an authority figure, he now walks in asking questions.

“You’re looking for a way of helping versus locking somebody up,” he said.

For Johnson, the training has not only helped him reach out to those in need but it has helped him deal with the treatment he is seeking in his own life.

“It’s helped me deal with the fact that I have so much insight into what I’m dealing with in the PTSD side and there’s no need to have that stigma,” he said.

What if after surviving your first cancer diagnosis at the age of 51, you were re-diagnosed just 18 months later? Metastatic colorectal cancer patient Dave Johnson experienced that first-hand, and was initially reluctant and scared to tell his family, friends and co-workers.

However, he soon learned two important lessons – that he had more support around him than he thought, and that he could control his lifestyle and personal harmony. Now at the age of 53, Johnson, a full-time banker, has discovered a new sense of inner well-being and, according to his physician, is again cancer free.

Many people find achieving personal harmony and balance difficult – the demands and stresses of everyday life often impede the ability to find inner peace. For those facing a cancer diagnosis, achieving that balance may feel impossible. And, yet, it is as important, if not more, for people living with cancer to find and maintain a sense of inner harmony.

After being diagnosed with an advanced form of colorectal cancer, Johnson knew he had to fight the disease head on, from both a medical and mental perspective. Johnson worked with his physician to choose his treatment, and made the conscious decision to focus on areas of his life he

felt he could control.

“Setting goals and priorities, as well as staying active, became very important to me, and helped me accept my diagnosis as my ‘new normal,’” said Johnson. “The ability to fulfill goals and keep both my mind and body busy helped me focus on the sweet spots in life that give me strength and joy.”

Johnson also said expressing his emotions was important to regaining his balance. “There were many days when I could have said ‘why me’ and focused my energy on feelings of anger and resentment,” said Johnson. “I’d let myself experience those feelings but I made a point of expressing those emotions and then moving on, which helped me maintain mental clarity. Additionally, my faith helped me accept the challenges I was going through.”

Tips to achieving personal harmony and balance during cancer include:• Express your emotions: Make a point of expressing your emotions before they start to have a negative impact.• Set goals and priorities: Focus on the areas you can control and set out to fulfill the goals most important in your personal and work life.• Keep active: Find activities to keep both your body and mind busy that you also enjoy. • Enjoy the company of loved ones: Surround yourself

with positive, supportive relationships, whether with your family, friends or co-workers.• Be open with your doctor: Don’t be afraid to discuss any cancer fears you have with your doctor or nurse.

Johnson stressed the importance of surrounding himself with positive, supportive relationships, including others who were also navigating a cancer journey.

“I learned to celebrate the successes of other patients while supporting those

experiencing setbacks – this in turn kept me self-motivated to fight my cancer with all the strength I had,” said Johnson. “It’s easy to feel overwhelmed after a cancer diagnosis. For me, taking time to focus on myself and my inner being, and creating an environment that was as nurturing and calming as possible, helped me stay positive in combating my disease.”

Achieving Personal Harmony and Balance During Cancer


Vitamins and supplements to promote health

CourtESy of fAmiLy fEAturES

With so many different choices in the vitamin aisle, many women find it difficult to choose the right ones to fit their personal needs.

As a woman, keeping your body healthy is an important task. Whether you are in your child-bearing years, taking folic acid for a healthy baby, or in your post-menopausal years, taking extra calcium for healthy bones, there are various vitamins for women to consider at every stage of life.

A daily regimenIt’s no secret that the use of vitamins has

become a common act for most people. In fact, a recent Gallup poll found that 54 percent of women take a vitamin on a daily basis. If your intention is to prevent disease, such as cancer or osteoporosis, or you just want to fill in nutrition gaps not covered in your daily diet, the reasons for taking vitamins and their many different forms are endless.

Giving backWhile having the means to obtain such essential nutrients is simple for most Americans, there are many people who aren’t as fortunate. In an effort to improve the everyday health of people everywhere, Walgreens is joining up with Vitamin Angels, a non-profit organization

dedicated to helping at-risk populations gain access to lifesaving micronutrients.

Customers can make a difference and help children and mothers at risk by purchasing select health and wellness supplements at Walgreens. With each purchase, the company will offer 1 percent of its vitamins sales to help provide 100 million at-risk children and mothers in the US and abroad with essential vitamins and minerals.

Trends in women’s nutritionFrom TV talk shows to the local nightly news programs, the public is never at a loss for nutritional information targeted toward women. Use this list of some of the popular vitamins and supplements that have recently made headlines to help you decide whether they fit into your health and wellness regimen.

MultivitaminsWhile most of the nutrients contained


within multivitamins can be found in food, taking one daily can fill in any missing gaps. A daily multivitamin can satisfy all of your daily nutrition needs. When shopping for the right product, note that not all multivitamins are created equal. Some varieties offer a different amount of nutrients targeted to a specific age group or function, such as Centrum Silver Women 50+ Multivitamin tablets, which provide additional support for breast and bone health.

Omega-3 supplementsPerhaps one of the most talked about nutrition products on the market, omega-3 fish oil supplements have been praised by various health professionals for their heart health benefits. Supportive but not conclusive research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. One product, Nature’s Bounty Odorless Fish Oil 1000 mg Dietary Supplement Softgels, provides a special coating to minimize the unfavorable aftertaste often associated with such pills.

Vitamin DWhile many people obtain vitamin D through exposure to natural sunlight, it can also be found in small increments in fatty fishes and in fortified dairy and cereal products. Supplements of both vitamin D3 (at 700–800 IU/day) have been shown to reduce the risk of bone loss and fractures in elderly people aged 62–85 years. For those looking for a convenient way to get the vitamin D needed for optimal health, try the Finest Nutrition Vitamin 5000 IU Dietary Supplement.

CalciumTo keep bones healthy and strong throughout life, your body requires calcium. This bone-strengthening nutrient reduces the risk of developing osteoporosis. To increase your calcium intake, try the Nature Made Calcium 600 mg with Vitamin D Dietary Supplement Liquid Softgels, which provide additional vitamin D to promote calcium absorption.

Folic acidA nutrient commonly taken by women who are pregnant or who wish to become pregnant, folic acid is known to reduce the risk of neural tube defects such as spina bifida in babies.

For those looking to improve their health and wellbeing, a general understanding of the many uses for vitamins and supplements may just be their own personal key to longevity.

Spc. Luis Rios

By Terrance Bellfort Lee

FORT LEE — Spc. Luis Rios is all about “that next big thing” — his vernacular for aggressively seeking challenges that feed his insatiable ambitions. In this case, he was leaving his job as a fine restaurant chef to join the Army as a food service specialist.

“I was in Louisville (Kentucky) for four years and learned a lot, but I was ready to go somewhere else,” said the self-described “go getter” from Aurora, Mo. “I felt it would take longer if I had stayed in the (civilian) food industry. It was the perfect time to join the military.”

That was 2013. The 24-year-old arrived here in May of that year and graduated recently as a member of Tango Company, 266th Quartermaster Battalion.

What took so long?

The young soldier was diagnosed with a rare cancer just a few days after his arrival, an ordeal that made tatters of his temperament, jeopardized his career plans and rattled his Christian faith.

“The next big thing” for Rios was ridding his body of a baseball-sized mass of cancerous cells on his kidney and getting healthy. Facing the prospect of a complicated six-hour surgery, the soldier held steadfast to his faith.

“Sometimes God puts things in your life just so you can grow in faith,” said the soldier, who was raised in a Catholic family originally from Mexico. “Even

Fighter, survivor:

Soldier doesn’t let cancer keep him from moving on to ‘next big thing’

though my faith was stronger before this, it just made it grow even stronger.”

He would need a mountain of conviction to withstand what he was about to endure. Rios was diagnosed with a stage one Wilms’ tumor, a cancer that typically strikes children. Even though the July 12, 2013, surgery at Portsmouth Naval Medical Center was successful, doctors said he would have to undergo lung surgery for exploratory reasons and 18 weeks of chemotherapy as a preventative measure.

“I really didn’t’ have an option,” said Rios, who was reassigned from the 23rd QM Brigade’s reception unit to the Warrior Transition Unit at Joint Base Langley-Eustis following 30 days of convalescence leave.

Rios’ family and friends, who had traveled here to comfort him for the first surgery, had the post-surgery impression that it took care of everything. In an act of sensitivity, he spared them the bad news of the second surgery that was scheduled for Aug. 29.

“I just didn’t want to add any stress for them,” said Rios, explaining why he didn’t tell his parents until after the surgery took place. “I avoided that whole conversation with them.”

Chemotherapy was the next foe Rios had to battle. Although he developed some patience — “OK, this could take a while” — he hoped to get on with his life and return to MOS training here. He clearly didn’t have an inkling of how formidable the opposition could be.

“The first ones I didn’t really feel,” he said of the first of eight rounds of chemotherapy. “I was eating and sleeping fine, and I was still riding (an exercise bike). I couldn’t do PT, but I was active. I said ‘This is not going to be bad. I can do this.’”

On the third or fourth treatment, the beast of chemotherapy unleashed on Rios the full weight of its trademark array of debilitating side effects. “My hair starting falling out, my legs started hurting and I started feeling nauseous in the morning,” he said.

Rios compared the nauseousness with having a bad hangover all the time. Brief relief came only with “puking,” he said, but shortly thereafter “I would feel nauseous again.”


By the fifth treatment, Rios had lost all of his head and body hair, lost weight and wore a look of despair like the latest fashion.

“Just the little things,” said Rios with a trembling lip, his distressed face recalling the excruciation. “Not being able to put on your combat boots. That stuff hit me hard. It’s just simple stuff that you never think about, and then one day, you just can’t do it for yourself. I don’t like people doing stuff for me.”

In a matter of weeks, Rios had descended from a healthy young man — brimming with the confidence and ambition to venture far beyond the boundaries of tiny Aurora to the big city of Louisville to study the culinary arts at Sullivan University — to someone who had nearly lost the use of his hands, who was dependent on others for the simplest tasks.

“It was devastating because I couldn’t even open a water bottle,” said Rios in reference to the effects of Vincristine, an inhibitor that causes numbness and tingling in the hands and feet. “It was really hard because my parents couldn’t come and help me.”

To help him cope, Rios was put on a very restrictive profile and allowed to wear the Army physical training uniform. He also received help from a volunteer, Army retiree and cancer survivor, Hug Riley, who helped with many of the “little things.” Another cancer survivor, WTU cadre member Sgt. 1st Class Loretta Daniels, assisted him as well.

“They were the only two people who I could go to and talk about how I was feeling,” he said, inferring chemotherapy — much like war — could only be understood by

those who have experienced it. “If I went to somebody who hadn’t gone through chemotherapy, they wouldn’t understand. The only thing they could say is, ‘Can I get you something?’ I wouldn’t feel comfortable talking to them.”

Having a couple of cancer battle buddies was comforting, but uncertainty lurked about the walls of his psyche like a menacing, shadowy figure. Questions surfaced and lingered – “Why me, Lord? I didn’t do anything to cause this,” recalled Rios.

He searched for answers. During church services, congregants would tell him “Sometimes God gives some of his toughest battles to his toughest warriors.” It wasn’t an answer, but it lightened the unsettling burden he had come to know since the earlier treatments. “God gave it to me,” reasoned Rios,

“because he knew I could handle it.”

Rios fought the chemo battle until January of 2014, underwent physical and occupational therapy and miraculously re-emerged at Fort Lee in June following a near-perfect PT test — the punctuation mark on a fit-for-duty declaration, not the medical discharge that he feared and loathed.

“I went to hell and back, and I just wasn’t going to give up like that,” Rios said. Giving up meant leaving the Army and the blank canvas of opportunity it presented, not so much taking on another occupation more suitable for a sick man. To Rios, that sounded more like descent and defeat.

“I told a lot of the soldiers I met (at the WTU), ‘I haven’t done anything for the Army,’” he recalled. “They would say, ‘Yes you have.’ I would say, ‘No, I haven’t.’ The only thing

I’ve done was basic training. ... I felt that I hadn’t fulfilled my obligation. What am I going to tell my grand kids? — that I went to basic training?”

Armed with a sense of obligation, Rios was determined to get things back to normal. He started the eight-week food service course, completed another stellar PT test and graduated Aug. 27. Just before graduation, Rios said he felt “100 percent, even with the missing kidney.”

His AIT company commander, Capt. Constance Marable, was amazed at the PT performance but was even more impressed with the person who performed it.

“Humility, gratitude, appreciation,” said Marable of the qualities apparent upon meeting Rios. “It was refreshing.”

Rios’ WTU commander was even more struck by the young man. Just about a week before graduation, he and a platoon sergeant traveled to Fort Lee to present him with an Army Achievement Medal for resiliency. Rios said he intends to use his battle with cancer to change lives.

“It was a hard struggle, but I’m happy, and I’m just going to use my experiences to help other people; help inspire them,” he said.

Rios’ prognosis is positive. The latest tests show no signs of the cancer. He is now headed to Fort Bragg, N.C. where he has plans to continue to render broad strokes across the canvas of opportunity that is the Army.

“I want to go airborne and air assault,” he said. Considering what’s he’s been through, Rios is truly about “the next big thing.”


Share Your Health History

Start a New Tradition at Your Family Reunion

CourTeSY of fAmILY feATureS

Family reunions are a great opportunity to reconnect and turn relationships into strong, eternal ties. This year, try starting a new tradition — share your health history with your family.

Passing down family health history can be as important as sharing that heirloom recipe your great grandmother shared with your grandmother. Many health conditions run in the family, so knowing the health

history can help you or your loved ones take the right steps to stay well and get tested if you or they are at risk. Sharing a health history means having a conversation about your health conditions or those experienced by another family member. These conversations can transform a simple update about a loved one’s wellbeing into a piece of prevention. Why is sharing a health history important?

Though marked with stories and laughter, family reunions

are also a perfect time to talk about important matters that affect the health of your family members. As the number of those with common ailments such as obesity, heart disease and cancer continues to rise, other major conditions should not be overlooked, especially kidney disease.

According to the U.S. Renal Data System, nearly one in six African American adults (or 6.2 million) has signs of kidney disease. There are usually no symptoms for early

kidney disease, which is why it is sometimes called a “silent disease.” The two primary causes of kidney disease are diabetes and high blood pressure.

The National Kidney Disease Education Program (NKDEP) is encouraging relatives at family reunions to talk about the connection between diabetes, high blood pressure and kidney disease. The Program’s Family Reunion Health Guide can help you plan large group or one-on-one

5 tips for starting the conversation Talking about health history at family reunions can be challenging. Having

a strategy for difficult conversations can help guide the discussion and make it a meaningful and productive experience. Here are some tips for getting a one-on-one conversation started at your next family reunion:

1. Ask permission to have the conversation and try to choose a convenient time and comfortable environment. Look for a quiet, private place that is free from distractions.

2. Acknowledge that it is not always easy to face personal health problems. Try to be supportive and listen to their concerns.

3. Include personal stories in your health discussion. Try sharing your story on how you manage diabetes or high blood pressure to help put them at ease.

4. Offer to go with family members to their health care provider and encourage them to bring information about kidney disease, diabetes and high blood pressure to appointments.

5. Follow up with family members in ways that work for them. Some relatives may prefer a phone call to an email or text message.

Whether you’re training for your first half marathon or a busy mom on-the-go, there’s no question that protein is essential to keeping your body in top physical form. Lugging around heavy grocery bags? Chasing after kids? Protein increases strength by rebuilding damaged muscle tissue, and helps promote stamina since it takes longer to digest. No question about it – protein has certainly earned its reputation as the workhorse for your body!

Protein can be found in a wide range of foods, including meat, poultry, seafood, beans and peas, eggs, soy, nuts and seeds. Foods like these with high protein content help slow digestion, control appetite, and keep you feeling full longer. Choosing lean proteins and making sure you are getting a variety of protein-filled foods are two ways to get the most from your nutrition plan.

There are also a variety of nutritious snacks that can help you capture extra protein as part of a balanced diet. For example, a LUNA Protein bar

is a gluten-free bar made from a blend of soy and whey protein. With less than 200 calories, it provides satiation to keep you feeling full, along with 12 grams of soy and whey protein and 3 grams of fiber.Finally, it is important to remember that how much protein you need depends on your activity level. For example, a 140-pound woman who has a primarily sedentary lifestyle needs 56 grams per day, while a 140-pound woman who participates in regular, high-impact exercise may need as much as 119 grams of protein per day.

Remember that a pre or post-workout snack with vitamins and nutrients is especially important to help you power through your sweat session. Tara DelloIacono-Thies, Registered Dietitian for LUNA, suggests these protein-rich snack ideas:

• Celery sticks, carrots, or apple slices with nut butter• Hard-boiled egg with salt and pepper on whole wheat bread • 1 protein-rich bar, such as LUNA Protein Bar • Plain Greek yogurt topped with seasonal fruit • Low sodium turkey meat rolled up with lettuce, low fat cheese, mustard and veggies of your choice
