‘‘ BEAUTY IS AS
BEAUTY
DOES.
Happy summer, y’all!
I
n July, the Lowcountry rolls out the red carpet for the thousands of visitors who flock here — mostly for a week at a time. Many Beaufort County residents work hard to make sure these visitors have a wonderful time — about 30 percent of Beaufort County jobs are directly related to tourism. Despite some traffic headaches, we’re grateful that so many families want to spend their free time and vacation dollars here. Personally, I take pride in our slice of paradise, and I love the look on people’s faces when they see the sunsets, beaches and wildlife that locals enjoy year-round. This issue of Monthly is full of suggestions for summer fun, from kayaking on Broad Creek to biking along our leisure trails and zip lining through the trees. These are all great ways to get up close to the Lowcountry’s natural beauty. Speaking of beauty, the saying “beauty is as beauty does” proved true in our story and photoshoot this month with Lowcountry natives Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave and Justice Mellencamp. In addition to being both gorgeous and famous — they’re musician John Mellencamp’s daughters and Teddi stars on the reality TV show “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” — the Mellencamp sisters were a delight to work with and completely

down to earth. We enjoyed our time with them and thank Downtown Catering Company, Forsythe Jewelers, Saks Off Fifth and photographer Krisztian Lonyai for making the magic happen. Reality TV seems to agree with us here in the Lowcountry — Hilton Head Island also was the scene of three recent episodes of “Southern Charm,” which gave our waterways, beaches and even our local seafood national exposure. Check out pages 44-45 to see what happened on the show. Then keep reading to celebrate summer with our fabulous fashion spread and features about bountiful burgers, the Bluffton Inn, and the brandnew, bright green trolley that will make getting around the south end of the island a lot easier. Marc's column this month compares the economies of the Lowcountry and a similar—also beautiful— resort in Croatia. Looking ahead to next month, I’m happy to report that it’s time for our annual “Cutest Pets of the Lowcountry” contest. I can’t wait to see the flood of adorable dogs, cats, guinea pigs, horses and other creatures that you nominate each year. Upload photos of your pets by July 10. After the voting period, we’ll announce the winner online and in next month’s Monthly, so stay tuned.

››Letters to the Editor Both trade and immigration are extraordinarily complex issues, and seem to draw as much on emotion as intellect when you wade deeper into the details. To avoid that pitfall, I’ve tried to look at these issues from 30,000 feet and simply don’t understand how these policies can work in tandem as they’re being pursued today. There’s no question we consume far too much “stuff” made overseas, and there’s also no question that some trade agreement realignment is necessary. But despite any negative impact of unfair trade practices, we have seen an extended economic recovery of historic proportion since the financial crisis and Great Recession of 10 years ago, and a stock bull market of equal magnitude. And accompanying this recovery has been a noteworthy decline in unemployment, to the point where there are more jobs available than people seeking work. And it’s not just low level retail and food service positions that need to be filled; it’s electricians and plumbers, welders and machinists, and tech people across the board. So I have to wonder if, through our trade skirmishes, we bring back a bunch of jobs, how do we fill the positions even with significantly higher wages (which brings inflation, higher interest rates and recession into the picture). Which brings me to the second part of the equation – immigration. Our current laws and policies are geared to restricting immigration when our current economic situation, not to mention history, suggests we should be expanding it. We certainly need to focus on who we allow in, but rather than growing detention centers, we should be building welcome centers, and ICE should be focused on processing and acclimating young families that want to come here and build a life. This is as much an economic as a moral issue; we are facing continued retirements of the baby boomers at the same time we see the birth rate declining. We need young immigrants to take these available jobs, help grow our economy and add to our tax base. It’s no accident that virtually all of us are descendants of immigrants, since immigration is how we’ve built the greatest country on the planet over the last 240 years.
My wife, Marty, and I have visited your area many times on our way to Florida and we stay a few days with a friend in Sun City. We have thought over the years, what a neat place to live. I subscribed to your magazine several months ago and have loved it from the start. Last March on our way to Florida we stopped as usual at Sun City and unexpectedly bought a house there. We plan on moving in around the end of September. We will finally be out of the cold Northeast, and we’re looking forward to the new chapter near Hilton Head Island. I think your magazine might have had a little influence on our decision to move to the Lowcountry. Of course, stopping to see our friend Pam there many years ago was a big influence, too. We love Sun City. You have a wonderful magazine — so informative on many subjects. – Dennis Eubanks, Reading, PA

We Asked, You Answered
WHAT’S YOUR USUAL 4TH OF JULY ROUTINE? WILL YOU DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT THIS YEAR?
We do a cookout and pool day with my family then watch fireworks at Berkeley Hall. – ERIN MCCARL MORGAN I usually sit at home and grouse about people shooting fireworks after my kids are in bed. #getoffmylawn.– JUSTIN JARRETT We will be celebrating at the Sun City celebration along with their fireworks (which were great last year)! – DEB HOOVER RASCH Hope to once again be on boat with family watching wonderful fireworks on Skull Creek!! – VIRGINIA PURCELL CULTER
We take the trolley to Harbour in order to avoid the traffic (there is still a lot of traffic that day no matter where you go). We spread out a blanket on the grass and enjoy the great fireworks show. – TIM BARNES
I’m a pet sitter, and my clients know I always stay home with the dogs on the 4th of July. Most hate fireworks so I put on a white noise machine and some soothing music and we all huddle until it’s over. – CONNIE WILKINSON
We have a timeshare on HHI and come every 4th of July. We don’t like crowds, so the big fireworks displays don’t appeal to us. Our kids (and the adults) love just going down to the beach of our resort on 4th of July night. On the beach are other families who have brought fireworks and are setting them off over the ocean. I think this is illegal but we don’t shoot them off— we just watch! – RHONDA ELLINGHAM

Home/Villa Rental and Property Management
Let’s talk
truth and reality Beware of Unrealistic Promises from Rental Management Companies.
When deciding on a management company, it’s important to shop around. We recommend the following 4 important steps when looking for new management.
• Make sure you’re signing with a local company and local staff. If your contact does not have a local phone number, they are in a remote location and not easily accessible.
• Get at least three rental projections to help you make the most informed decision.
• Get references from the prospective company of current owners with similar properties.
• If a company gives you what seems like an unusually high projection, ask for a proposal of how they plan to reach that amount.
For more information, please contact :

IN MEMORIAM: GLORIA DALY 1934 - 2018 Gloria Daly was probably the most recognizable person on Hilton Head. She is known by school children, their teachers and administrators. She is known by Rotarians, community leaders and concert goers. She is known by every CEO and local artist. She was known by performers across the globe. Her boundless energy and enthusiasm combined with a deep commitment to the arts community and to this island made her a true island treasure. She gave tirelessly and generously of her time and talents to everyone. She took care of everyone she met – newcomers especially, because once she met you, she considered you her friend and she valued and supported her friends. She cared deeply about this island. She was committed to making a significant and positive difference in the quality of life here. I don’t think anyone would dispute how successful she was at that. We owe Gloria a tremendous debt of gratitude. Her name will always be synonymous with the Hilton Head Symphony Orchestra! A Memorial Service will be held at the First Presbyterian Church, Hilton Head, on July 14 at 11 am. Hilton Head Symphony Orchestra musicians will perform at the service. Publisher’s note: The Hilton Head Symphony Orchestra submitted this loving tribute to Gloria Daly, who passed away on June 17. We echo these sentiments and admired her greatly.
ANONYMOUS DONOR PAYS BLUFFTON CHURCH DEBT An anonymous donor wired $511,386.99 to the Campbell Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Bluffton in May, covering the remainder of the mortgage for the chapel. Pastor Isaac W. Wilborn Jr. is calling the donor the church’s “guardian angel.” Now that the debt for the church building has been taken care of, the congregation will focus its efforts on investing money into the local community.
CITIZEN POLICE ACADEMY APPLICATIONS NOW OPEN The Bluffton Police Department is now accepting applications for the 2018 Citizens Police Academy. The 12-week course will focus on the four divisions of the Bluffton Police Department, traffic enforcement, radar operation, evidence collection, fingerprint recovery, defensive tactics, firearms and more. The course will be held from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Tuesdays from Aug. 7 to Oct. 23. Apply in-person at the Bluffton Police Station or go to townofbluffton. sc.gov/police-department/home.
TOWN OF HILTON HEAD ANNOUNCES MUNICIPAL GALLERY INITIATIVE The Town of Hilton Head Island’s Office of Cultural Affairs announces the launch of The Artist’s Gallery at Town Hall, an initiative to celebrate Hilton Head Island’s art community. The gallery is slated to open at the end of September and local artists are invited to submit their work to be considered for the gallery.

State Senator Tom Davis explains the 2018 HOA bill
Sen. Tom Davis – S.C. District 46
‘‘
I ALSO CAME TO UNDERSTAND THAT HOMEOWNERS ARE OFTEN NOT AWARE OF THEIR RIGHTS
AND OBLIGATIONS.
Question. What is different about the homeowners association bill that you blocked last year but passed this year? Why do you think we didn’t need a state agency to oversee neighborhood groups? Last October, I published an opinion piece explaining why, as the 2017 legislative session in Columbia drew to a close, I blocked the so-called HOA bill that had been passed by the House. Here’s how we amended that bill so it could be passed during the 2018 session and signed into law by the governor. The 2017 HOA bill contained some solid reforms. For instance, it obligated a seller to give copies of association documents to purchasers and expressly gave magistrate courts jurisdiction over civil disputes pertaining to associations. And if that is all it did, I would not have blocked it. But it also created a new state agency called the Office of the Homeowners Association Ombudsman and gave it broad powers to supervise and regulate the affairs of homeowners and associations. I thought then, and still think now, that establishing a new state agency to regulate the private affairs of homeowners and associations was a bad idea — that forcing homeowners and associations to travel to Columbia to file complaints or hash out their disputes was in neither’s best interests. Equally bad, I thought, was the section of the bill that laid the groundwork for the new state agency’s expansion and established a predicate for government levies. Homeowners would end up paying fees to fund the new bureaucracy — which would be in addition to, of course, the association dues and fees they’re already paying. At the start of the 2018 legislative session, I met with the HOA bill’s author, Rep. Heather Crawford from Myrtle Beach, and with homeowners, Realtors and property managers to see if common ground could be reached. We worked
for several weeks to resolve our differences and understand each other’s concerns. They understood that for me, creating a new state agency and giving it regulatory authority over what I consider to be essentially private contractual relationships was a deal killer, and that the Office of the Homeowners Association Ombudsman had to be completely excised from the HOA bill. And so it was. For my part, I came to understand that, for Rep. Crawford, the most important thing was to ensure that homeowners got actual notice of meetings where associations intended to consider fee increases. She pointed out that many homeowners associations are not incorporated under the South Carolina Nonprofit Corporation Act and had a track record of running roughshod over homeowners. We added language to the bill to provide that “the homeowners association must provide notice to homeowners at least 48 hours in advance of the meeting in which a decision to raise the annual budget is made.” I also came to understand that homeowners are often not aware of their rights and obligations, and that for many the hiring of an attorney is a prohibitively expensive option. To address this, we added language that directed the state Department of Consumer Affairs to include on its website information on the governance of homeowners associations and other educational materials about associations. Our finished product ended up being something all sides were happy with, and Rep. Crawford and I offered it as a comprehensive amendment to the HOA bill. It was passed unanimously by both legislative chambers and signed into law by the governor. That’s the kind of outcome we need more of in Columbia.

All Aboard TROLLEYS ROLLING OUT ON HILTON HEAD THIS SUMMER BY BRIAN SULLIVAN
SUBMITTED PHOTOS
P
ump the brakes, bicyclists and golf cart drivers. There’s a new way to get around Hilton Head Island: Old-fashioned trolleys will hit the road this summer to help ease traffic. Known as The Breeze, the trolley service will pick up its first passengers this month. Initially, two trolleys will be in circulation and will feature Wi-Fi, GPS tracking, bicycle racks, mobile apps, space for wheelchairs and strollers, and air conditioning. A third trolley is expected to join the fleet later in the summer. The trolleys are operated by the Lowcountry Regional Transportation Authority, the same agency that runs the Palmetto Breeze buses. In partnership with the Town of Hilton Head Island, the service is designed to offer a fun and convenient transportation alternative while decreasing island traffic. The trolleys will operate from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily July 16 through Oct. 14, with stops every 30 minutes at spots like Coligny Beach, Shelter Cove and Park Plaza. To help with the crowds at Shelter Cove’s HarbourFest fireworks display on Tuesdays, trolleys will operate until 10 p.m. A ride aboard the trolleys will be $1, but children shorter than the fare box will ride for free. “We want to enhance the island experience for our residents and visitors,” said Hilton Head town manager Steve Riley. “The trolley service will take some of the traffic burden off the roadways and help people get around the island during peak hours.” The trolleys also offer a glimpse at the island’s history; the first two trolleys will be named after Lowcountry icons. The Comet is named for the Coastal Discovery Museum’s resident marsh tacky, a rare breed of horse brought by the Spanish to South Carolina as a workhorse in the 16th century. The other trolley will be named The Alligator as a tribute to Hilton Head native Charlie Simmons, known as “Mr. Transportation” because he used one of his freight boats — The Alligator — to ferry goods and people on and off the island before the bridges to the mainland were built.
“We are so excited to help write this latest chapter in the rich history of transportation on the Island,” said Mary Lou Franzoni, LRTA’s executive director. “Our hope is that the trolleys will not only be convenient and fun, but also educational, especially for our visitors.” For more information, go to breezetrolley.com.

WOMEN’S GROUP HELPS FAMILIES KEEP THEIR LAND BY AMY COYNE BREDESON | PHOTO BY BAILEY WITT
T
he home that Marilyn Blake grew up in was built by her father and uncle more than 50 years ago. It sat on land previously owned by Blake’s grandfather — land that had been in the family for more than 100 years. Her mother, Rosa Lee Driessen, had lived there until last year, when health issues forced her to move into a nursing home. She very nearly became the last family member to call the house on Old Wild Horse Road home. The family couldn’t afford to pay the taxes on the property in 2017, and it was auctioned off at the Beaufort County delinquent tax sale. The family had one year to come up with $7,000 to reclaim the property. If it weren’t for the generosity of a group of local women, they might not have been successful. Then Blake got a call from Theresa White, founder and CEO of the Pan-African Family Empowerment & Land Preservation Network: The nonprofit had received a large donation from the local chapter of a national women’s philanthropy group, and some of this money would be used to help pay her family’s delinquent property taxes.

GOD SENDS ANGELS WHEN HE KNOWS YOU NEED THEM.
– MARILYN BLAKE
“God sends angels when he knows you need them,” Blake said. Those angels were the 100+ Women Who Care Hilton Head Island group. The organization meets quarterly to give back to the community. At each meeting, members hear five-minute presentations about three different local charities with immediate needs, followed by a brief question-and-answer session. The women then vote on which charity to support, and then

every woman present writes a $100 check to the chosen group. At their October meeting, the women decided to donate to PAFEN. The money they donated paid the 2017 tax bill for Blake’s family and one other local family — and helped them qualify for the county’s installment program, which will make it easier for them to break future taxes into smaller, easier payments. The other family who retained ownership of their land thanks to PAFEN and the 100+ Women chapter had already lost one property in the county’s delinquent tax sale. Tracy Mitchell and her family owned two parcels on Murray Avenue off Squire Pope Road — originally part of one plot of land owned by Mitchell’s great-grandfather, Elijah Jones. One parcel was sold at the tax sale in 2016 when the family couldn’t pay the $8,000 to reclaim it. In 2017, the family again found themselves struggling to reclaim their property after the second piece of land — where Mitchell’s mother, Annette, lives — was sold at the tax sale. Thanks to the donation from 100+ Women Hilton Head Island, PAFEN was able to step in and help. “I was elated,” Tracy Mitchell said. “I am truly humbled and grateful.” The 100+ Women donated a total of $11,200 to PAFEN. It was the largest single donation ever received by the organization, White said. Since May 2015, PAFEN has helped save $6 million worth of Gullah-Geechee property in Beaufort, Colleton, Georgetown and Horry counties. “Their donation was a major turning point for our organization in terms of being able to break the glass ceiling ... to redeem Gullah-owned property on Hilton Head,” White said. “We are just so grateful for them being able to understand the importance of what we are doing to save Gullah-Geechee land.” The local chapter of the 100+ Women organization has donated more than $120,000 to Lowcountry nonprofit groups like Neighborhood Outreach Connection, Second Helpings, Volunteers in Medicine and PAFEN, said group co-founder Ann Tucker. There are more than 750 chapters of the women’s organization around the world. The local group started in 2015 with just 34 members; it now boasts 120. “We see firsthand the impact our donation makes,” Tucker said. “The generous hearts of our members reach out to find the needs in our beloved island community, and they bring them to us. As a group of passionate, caring women, we can and do make a difference.”

NEW BOUTIQUE HOTEL SET TO OPEN IN BLUFFTON BY BARRY KAUFMAN
F
or decades, Larry Leary kept a mental scrapbook of every inspiring design style, every Old World detail that intrigued or amazed, and held onto them. A renowned restorer of historic homes, he plied his trade in some of the most lavish homes in the Northeast, with a client list of CEOs and business elites. With every classic home he restored, he made notes on the architectural details that defined its elegance. He has brought that collection of gorgeous architectural design ideas to life at a spot in The Calhoun Street Promenade facing May River Road. He calls this ultimate expression of his decades of experience the Old Town Bluffton Inn. “From a construction standpoint, this really is the culmination of every architectural element that’s ever inspired me and every design I’d wanted to see come to life,” he said. “I’ve been in restoration a long time, and this is my masterpiece.” The building is truly a marvel of timeless architectural grace. From the spacious lobby with its resplendent custom millwork
to the wide porches adorning the upstairs suites, gazing down on the live oaks and bustling sidewalks of May River Road, every inch offers fresh inspiration. And even when it was still under construction, the inn just felt like it had always been a part of the Old Town Bluffton landscape. “I’ve always said that I’m not building it for me. I’m building it for Bluffton,” Leary said. When it opens its doors this summer, the inn will give Bluffton its first true boutique hotel in Old Town. For a town that long lived in the long hospitality shadows of Hilton Head Island and Palmetto Bluff, it’s a statement that Old Town Bluffton has emerged as a destination in its own right. That’s why a big part of the inn’s appeal will be the immersion it offers in Old Town. Through partnerships with area vendors including Corner Perk, FARM Bluffton, Downtown Catering, Spencer Special Events and Kellie Corn, the inn will give firsttime visitors a taste of Bluffton’s inimitable charm and hospitality.

(Above) From left: Larry Leary, Danielle Harrison and Vince Harrison look over plans at The Bluffton Inn.
When Leary began planning for the inn along with his business partners — daughter Danielle Harrison and her husband, Vince — one of the first decisions they made was that each room would tell a different story. Whether it was a bold monochromatic color scheme in a room marked by modern style or rich, vibrant colors in the “Tommy Bahama” suite, each space would resonate with its own vibe. To help accomplish this, they called in famed furniture designer Henessy Wayser, whose French Heritage line has defined craftsmanship and comfort. She worked closely with Leary and the Harrisons, taking their cues on colors, fabrics, textures and styles and turning them into a series of rooms that offer fresh inspiration behind every door. “The best part of the project was getting the feelings and emotion of the inn right,” Wayser said. “Larry wanted something stately and traditional, while Danielle wanted more fashion, fantasy and art as part of the 14-room inn.” And that inspiration wound up going both ways — Wayser took her Old Town Bluffton Inn furnishings to the famed High Point Furniture Market, where she set up six of the rooms exactly as they are at the inn, and began plans for a furniture line based around the pieces she’d created for the inn. Someday soon, you could have Old Town Bluffton Inn furniture in your own home. Until then, you’ll have to book a room at the Old Town Bluffton Inn. For more information, go to blufftoninn.com.

From Hilton Head to Rovinj ORIGINAL EXPERIENCES DRIVE BOTH ECONOMIES BY MARC FREY
O
n my first visit to Rovinj, a lovely seaside town on the Croatian coast, a three-hour ferry ride across the bay from Venice, I fell in love with the setting: A compact and well-preserved old town, a wonderful harbor walk lined with restaurants, and a fabulous large park where five-star hotels overlook the Adriatic Sea — plus miles and miles of bikeable public nature preserves along the blue ocean, which entices swimmers to jump in the clear water. It was easy to be impressed by the town’s always spotless streets, where we could indulge in ice cream shops, local seafood and quaint benches that line the cobbled and car-free squares, offering generous views of the bay and nearby islands — we always felt welcomed by the professional hospitality workforce. But on a deeper level, what makes the 13,000-resident town of Rovinj and the Istrian peninsula so intriguing is its local authenticity. It gets under your skin. It’s safe to say that buying and shopping local is in the Istrian DNA passed down over generations. In practicality, that means that everything that is displayed in the daily local market or ends up on your plate is farmed, caught, foraged or crafted within a 100-mile radius. This strong tie to local products extends to whatever extent possible to the boutiques, stores and galleries. There is not one fast food franchise, nationally branded outlet or big-name hotel to be found anywhere. This translates into a truly authentic and original experience for a visitor. And why would we travel in the first place if it was not to discover something new and different than what we can find at home? The reason I draw the comparison is to remind us that original experiences drive our local economy. Every year, millions of visitors and thousands of new residents arrive in the Lowcountry, because we have preserved most of what makes the destination unique: the nature, the marshes, neighborhoods that are nestled into green spaces. And while we don’t produce olive oil and wine in South Carolina, we have peaches and shrimp. Just go to the Bluffton farmers market on Thursday afternoon to savor the full array of local produce on display. Every time a chain restaurant or national big-box store opens, I cringe; typically, these stores don’t support the local economy beyond offering low-paying employment opportunities. Compare that to a locally owned business where the decision-makers live here and pay local taxes, give back to local charities and reinvest their profits to create more diversity and original experiences.

We are lucky that we still have a healthy locally owned business community and many innovative entrepreneurs. They all deserve our support because they are a big part of what makes Hilton Head Island special and Bluffton unique — in many ways, they are the reason that many of us came here in the first place. To draw an American comparison, we should look to Austin, Texas, where the famous Sixth Street district — approximately a nine-block square — is dominated by locally owned bars, nightclubs, restaurants, music venues and shops. No franchise is allowed. It is part of the “Keep Austin weird” movement. The fact that this area is local and authentic “Austin” is the reason that makes it an exciting place to visit and is the reason for its success. It would be easy to imagine that the Bluffton Town Council could designate the “historic downtown” area as off limits for national franchises. Locally owned businesses are the bond of every community. It’s one of the reasons we launched ShopMoreLocal. com after Hurricane Matthew: To help strengthen the Lowcountry’s economy and social fabric by promoting local entrepreneurs and our cause.

MELLENCAMP SISTERS LOVE HILTON HEAD’S ‘SMALL-TOWN FEEL’

T
hey weren’t raised in a little pink house, but the daughters of Rock & Roll Hall of Fame member John Mellencamp know the joys of growing up in close-knit, idyllic small town, courtesy of Hilton Head Island. Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave, 37, and her sister Justice Mellencamp, 32, moved to the island in 1989. They tell the same stories about growing up in the Lowcountry: constant crowds of kids at their mother’s house, swimming at the Sea Pines Beach Club, playing volleyball at Coligny Beach and, most of all, that small-town feel. “There’s just a sense of comfort on Hilton Head,” says Justice, who has worked for 12 years at Platinum Design, where she’s become one of the island’s best-known stylists. “You can run into someone you’ve known for 20 years at your favorite Mexican restaurant, and you know everything that’s going on in their lives. It’s just so familiar.” Though she’s been living in Los Angeles — where she joined the cast of Bravo’s “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” in 2017 — since she was 17, Teddi agrees. “We rode bikes everywhere. I rode horses at Lawton Stables in Sea Pines and Rose Hill off-island,” she says. “I still crave my favorite restaurants — San Miguel’s, Truffles, Giuseppi’s. When I think about it, it’s still home.” The sisters came to Hilton Head, where their parents owned a home, from Indiana after their father and mother, Victoria Granucci, divorced. Justice attended Sea Pines Montessori before attending Hilton Head Preparatory School, where Teddi started in third grade, and from which both graduated. In school, Teddi was one of the state’s top hunter-jumper competitors, becoming a world champion in her class. Justice gravitated toward art and gymnastics.

“I idolized my sister,” Justice said. “But we were sort of yin and yang. She was very tomboyish, she rode horses and didn’t like frilly things. Here I was doing gymnastics and painting. We balanced each other out as kids.” Justice met her husband, Michael Moore, at Hilton Head Prep. Teddi was friends with Shep Rose, cast member of another popular Bravo show, “Southern Charm,” and Greg Russell, who for more than 40 seasons has entertained tourists with his performances under the Liberty Oak in Harbour Town. “The same friends I had in third grade are still my friends now,” Teddi said. “When I visit … I’ll ask, ‘Where should we go?’ and they’ll say, ‘The (Barmuda) Triangle.’ How is that still a thing? In L.A., clubs are over in a week.” But the sisters don’t hesitate in naming each other their respective best friends. Despite living on opposite coasts, they talk, text or Facetime nearly every day, and love getting their families together for visits. Teddi has three children, ages 2, 3 and 5, and a stepdaughter, 9, with her husband, Edwin Arroyave, founder of Skyline Security Management, Inc.; and Justice has a son, 12, and daughter, 2. “I come back as much as I can,” Teddi said. “I’m so excited, because my sister bought a house (in Bluffton), so now I can stay with her.” The sisters spend time with their father — “Peepaw,” to the grandkids — when he’s in town. After owning houses on Hilton Head for many years, John Mellencamp bought a home on Daufuskie Island about a decade ago. And after all these years, the sisters are still in love with their hometown, thanks to its seemingly indelible warm, small-town atmosphere. “Regardless of how it’s changed, there’s still this amazing family dynamic,” Teddi said. “Not only are there close family units, but families are also close with each other. That’s not really the case in a lot of places.”

REALITY STARS COME FROM THE LOWCOUNTRY
BY CLAY BONNYMAN EVANS
T
eddi Mellencamp Arroyave isn't the only reality star from Hilton Head Island— the Lowcountry is a rich vein of talent for some of the most popular reality TV shows in recent years. Three recent episodes followed the cast of “Southern Charm” — including area natives — during a stay at a luxury rental on Hilton Head, and a Bluffton man got his 15 minutes in the limelight in May.

‘SOUTHERN CHARM’ Three episodes of Bravo’s “Southern Charm” — starring Lowcountry natives Shep Rose and Chelsea Meissner — were filmed on Hilton Head in October. The episodes, which aired in late May and early June, depicted the cast staying at a ritzy rental home on North Forest Beach. On the show, Rose and Meissner waxed poetic about their hometown. “How beautiful is this place?” Rose said. “It’s something I’m so proud of. There’s a good feeling, a positive vibe.” Meissner agreed. “When someone asks me where I’m from, I’m proud to tell them.” In episode “What da Fuskie,” which aired May 24, the Charleston socialites took a ferry to Daufuskie Island, where the men played golf, the women rode horses and — to the surprise of no one — tensions flared. In “Hilton Head-Ache,” which aired May 31, the group bickered their way across the water on the night ferry back from Daufuskie. And in “Family Ties” on June 7, laid-back Rose visited his mother on Hilton Head and no-drama Meissner took an emotional ride down memory lane around her old Bluffton haunts. Rose grew up in Sea Pines and has been a regular on the show after meeting show creator and star Whitney SudlerSmith at a Hilton Head bar. He is one of just four cast members to have starred in all five seasons of the show, and he’s parlayed his fame to other opportunities: He went on to star in Bravo’s “RelationShep,” about his quest for love, and in 2016 he launched ShepGear, an online fashion outlet. His parents still live on the island. “I think being from here gives you an inner happiness, and it’s contagious, I believe,” Rose said. “Everyone is happy. It’s sunny, you’re driving over a bridge and all you see is pure beauty.” Chelsea Meissner, who also stars on “Southern Charm” and was a contestant on “Survivor: One World” in 2012, spent the first part of her childhood in the Lowcountry but moved away in fifth grade. Meissner joined “Southern Charm” full time this

season, quickly earning a reputation as an even-keeled cast member. “I think that because I grew up in the country, I’ve got a more chill, laid-back attitude,” she said during one of three recent episodes filmed on Hilton Head. ‘FOOD NETWORK STAR’ The Hilton Head episodes of “Southern Charm” were reality TV crossovers, of sorts — Food Network star Orchid Paulmeier also appeared. Paulmeier, a partner at Hilton Head restaurant One Hot Mama’s, had a cameo role as the personal chef for the island episodes of “Southern Charm.” She, catering manager Justin Warstler and bartender Blair Hayhurst appeared on camera for the last part of the second Hilton Head Island episode for what was planned as an outdoor dinner but had to be moved inside due to rain. Paulmeier prepared cioppino, a spicy Italian fish stew, using seafood the cast had caught that day. “It was fun. They were all very nice. But it was stressful because I couldn’t make the food ahead of time,” she said. “I had to wait and see what they caught.” Paulmeier competed on Food Network’s “The Next Food Network Star” in 2012.
‘AMERICA’S GOT TALENT’ Bluffton’s Iain Brown made a bid to become a judge on “America’s Got Talent” in an episode that aired May 29. “I’ve been in front of a lot of different kinds of entertainment talent,” said Brown, a former sound designer at the Arts Center of Coastal Carolina who now works at Custom Audio Video. The Scotland native moved to Bluffton in 2002. “Friends of mine awhile back jokingly said, ‘You could be a judge, you could do this,’ kind of goading me on a bit.” When “America’s Got Talent” held auditions in Savannah, Brown told the judges that he wanted to join their elite group. In his audition, he said he watches the show at home and frequently comments on the judges’ decisions. The show’s host, Simon Cowell, asked judge Howie Mandel to temporarily give up his seat to Brown. But the Lowcountry resident only got to vote on one contestant — by his own admission, his short time as a judge didn’t go well. “Simon (Cowell) fired me,” he said, laughing.

Crowning Achievement
FUTURE LAWYER IS ALSO BEAUTY QUEEN
BY ADDI MCNEEL PHOTOS BY LLOYD WAINSCOTT
W
hen most people think of beauty pageants, they conjure images of tall, slender women walking gracefully around on stage in tiny bikinis. They have big hair, perfect makeup and bright smiles. When asked questions about the economy or current events, they refer to vague notions of world peace. Angela D. Middleton is turning this notion of the typical beauty queen on its head. As the winner of the Mrs. South Carolina Plus America Supreme 2018 Pageant, she’s helping girls see that women of all races, shapes and sizes can achieve their dreams. When the Okatie resident signed up to compete in the South Carolina Plus America pageant, she had no idea what she was getting into. It was her first beauty pageant — friends who were entering talked her into it. “I expected pageantry to be fun and exciting,” Middleton said. “I didn’t know how challenging it would be. You have to prepare not only physically, but also have to be knowledgeable of what’s going on in the world, not just your community. I did not know how hard it was until I experienced pageant boot camp in February. I worked out muscles in my leg that hadn’t been worked out since marching band in high school.” In pageant boot camp, she learned how to walk, how to present herself, how to answer the on-stage question, as well as what type of clothing and colors worked best for her. At the South Carolina pageant on April 21, all that hard work paid off. She not only won the Mrs. Division, for married women, but also won the

If she wins the national competition, Middleton will travel around the country representing South Carolina and her platform: Human Trafficking.
Supreme Queen title for the highest scores in all areas. And now, she’s headed to the national competition. The Miss Plus America national pageant will take place at The Westin Atlanta Airport Hotel on July 24-28. There, Middleton will compete for the national title. She will be judged on her evening gown, elegant pant wear, and how she answers her on-stage question. “I feel totally overwhelmed,” Middleton said. “This is my first run through pageantry. It takes a lot of women years to get to this point before they will see nationals, so it is an honor. But I am definitely overwhelmed.” But she has fans behind her: Her husband, Kendrick, is her biggest supporter. Middleton is also mom to son Kyler, a rising high school junior. Her makeup artist, Jasmine Morrison, is her secret weapon. If she wins the national competition, Middleton will represent the entire pageant. She will travel around the country also representing South Carolina and her platform, education on human trafficking. And even if she doesn’t win, she’ll continue to work in the local community, speaking to schools, classes, groups and other organizations about human trafficking. “My platform is teach one, reach a million — educating the community about human trafficking,” Middleton said. “That’s a topic that people don’t talk about that often. When you talk about sex trafficking, people get a little nervous, but it’s something that needs to be discussed because it’s happening in our area.” Middleton used to be in the education field, working as a teacher, assistant principal and principal. She has an undergraduate degree in political science, a master’s degree in business, and another master’s degree in education secondary administration. It’s the degree she’s working on now, though, that is her dream: She’s a student at Savannah Law School. “I’ve always wanted to be an attorney,” Middleton said. “Teaching found me – I did not find teaching. But I was determined to still pursue my dream to become an attorney. Five years ago, I lost my mom to lung cancer and one of the last things she said to me in her final days was, ‘Do not let your dream die. You know what I’m talking about.’ And all I talked about was being an attorney, so I promised her that I wouldn’t.”

WE DIDN'T GET TO SIX, BUT WE
GOT TO FIVE. – Karen Burke
F
amily is integral to the story of Burke’s Main Street Pharmacy — a Hilton Head Island mainstay — and to the life of co-owner David Burke and his wife, Karen. David’s father started the family business in Rochester, New York. Today, the shop is run by David and his brother, Tim, who have worked side-by-side — “literally five feet apart,” David said — for 30 years. Other siblings also have joined them at the pharmacy, making it a true family affair, and helping the brothers form a close bond. “We talk constantly, regularly, and after all these years we practically know each other’s thoughts,” said David of his relationship with Tim. “We can finish each other’s sentences.” That’s a trait David also shares with wife Karen. It’s not the only thing they share: Both are passionate about community involvement. For example, David heads the board of directors at Hilton Head Hospital, and Karen, who does not work in the pharmacy, is a hospice volunteer. The couple met at Northeastern University in Boston, and over 33 years together have built a family based on faith, love and generosity. “I was looking out the window and I saw this little blonde girl and the guy behind her was carrying a whole bunch of stuff and he had a lampshade on his head,” David said. “And I said, ‘Oh, I’ve got to meet them.’ And he turned out to be my father-in-law.” Karen is one of eight children and David is one of seven, so when they married the couple expected to have a big family. Four or five children, David said. Karen politely corrected him. “Six,” she said. “Six was our number.” But things did not work out as planned, leading to what David called difficult early years. “Seven years,” Karen said of the time they spent trying to conceive a child. Their faith gave them solace. “It was the path we had to walk down,” said Karen, a Christian since college. “The doctors would fix something and then something else would go wrong. It was becoming apparent that was the pattern. And then the five came. It was like God’s plan just unfolded after those seven years.” “The five” are the couple’s five adopted children — something they had been hesitant to consider. David said that the idea of adopting originally gave him some pause. “I didn’t know anybody who was adopted. All of our friends were having children. Tim and his wife were having children.” But all trepidation disappeared when they received their first child, a daughter. Kathleen, who today is 24 and living in Nashville, soon was joined by Mary Meghan, now 22 and a junior at the University of South Carolina; John, 18 and a

senior at Hilton Head Christian Academy; Anna, 16, a sophomore at Hilton Head Island High School; and Andrew, 15, a freshman at Hilton Head High. Anna and Andrew are biological siblings. “We didn’t get to six but we got to five,” Karen said. The oldest two children were born in South Carolina; the others are Russian. “There are incredible, miracle stories of each and every one of them,” David said. “We could talk for two hours on each and everyone of them.” When the Burkes applied to become adoptive parents, they were told to expect a long process — at least two years. It turned out to be much shorter. Kathleen’s birth mother wanted to choose her child’s adoptive parents. When no one met her adoption criteria, the young girl and her mother decided to keep the baby. “The very day they walked in (to the adoption services) and said ‘We are going to do this on our own,’ is when our paperwork came in,” Karen said. Kathleen was born on a Sunday, the

July 18 040-051 People.indd 50
Burkes got the news on that Tuesday, and they picked up the baby in Myrtle Beach on Wednesday, David said. “I drove to Myrtle Beach at about 125 miles an hour,” he said. The Burkes’ second child, born premature, spent two months in neonatal intensive care before she was allowed to come home. The couple’s first international adoption also had a few hiccups — paperwork inadvertently left in a “private” taxi and documents sent to the wrong city. “When you have your own natural child, you obviously see God’s intervention,” Karen said. “When it is adoption, you can see his hand in it, almost in a miraculous way. “ David, an Elder at Grace Community Church on Hilton Head, agreed: “Where we are in our lives now, it brings such tremendous balance. I know we have been blessed here as a business, we live in one of the most beautiful places in the country, and we have a beautiful neighborhood.” “We don‘t expect those blessings,” Karen said. “It is just a bonus.”

The Secrets of a Plastic Surgeon The average lifespan in America is now 79, and many of us are living well into our 80’s and late 90’s. Today, sixty is the new “50”. Everyone is living longer, working longer, and enjoying second and sometimes third relationships. Women aren’t the only ones that want to have full lives and look as young as they feel. It used to be said that men didn’t grow old; they just grew distinguished. Men are now living well beyond that stage and are facing the challenges of aging just like women are. This has led to a huge industry to try to help our aging population look as young as they can. What works? What doesn’t? What do plastic surgeons do to keep their patients looking so good? That is what I am going to share with you today. BASIC CONCEPTS FOR GROWING OLD GRACEFULLY Looking young requires a healthy lifestyle. If you aren’t already in the proper mindset, analyze your life. It takes effort, but make the commitment to change your lifestyle to a healthy one. Some of the major factors in aging include: excess sun exposure, smoking, significant drinking, inadequate sleep, lack of exercise, and not being conscientious about your diet. 1) Avoid direct sunlight between 11 am and 2 pm. Use sunscreen every single day, keeping in mind that the

percentage of zinc oxide is more important that the SPF. Also, if you are going to be outside, reapply as necessary. Quit Smoking - Not only will it reduce the damage to your skin, you’ll live longer and smell better! Drink alcohol in moderation. In addition to being full of empty calories, it dehydrates your skin, and some individuals fall asleep before removing their makeup. You should try to get at least 6 hours of uninterrupted sleep, and 8 hours is better. Try to schedule at least 15 minutes of exercise daily. Even a brisk walk will improve your overall health, increase your endurance, reduce stress, and make you feel more awake and vibrant. We all need to learn to eat healthier. In addition to having less indigestion, you’ll lose weight, live longer, and look better. Fortunately, eating healthier is easier now than ever before.
Perhaps you have improved your habits and still want more improvement. What can you do to look better? You can call a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to schedule a consultation.

neck is by surgical removal. The most important advice I can give you is that you want to look as natural as possible when you have healed. This is important to all patients, and especially our male population.
FIRST STEPS: 1) Skin Care: As we mature, our skin shows signs of prolonged sun exposure, as well as loss of elasticity and dermal thickness. You can get by on over-the-counter products for a while, but there comes a time when they do not have the strength to correct things like loss of elasticity, wrinkles, and brown spots. The only products that are powerful enough to do this are those which contain prescription strength ingredients such as tretinoin and 4% hydroquinone. It can be overwhelming to be a consumer with the myriad of products on the market today, but just remember that if it does not require a prescription, it is not strong enough to correct your skin! Contrary to popular belief, being sold in a physician’s office does not guarantee that a product is prescription strength! 2) Makeup: As we mature, we can unwittingly get caught in a makeup application warp. There is an art to applying makeup to women who are beyond age 50. Do you remember the last time you had an update? Many Board Certified Plastic Surgeons employ Medical Aestheticians with special training in this area. The transformation could easily erase several years. NON-OPERATIVE PROCEDURES: 1) Botox: Your doctor can use a very fine needle to inject a drug that weakens the muscles that create unwanted wrinkles. The drug is placed very precisely to soften your appearance without any awkward changes. 2) Fillers: Deeper wrinkles can be filled in by replacing your dermal loss with an injection of materials similar to those created by our bodies. They will last 6-12 months. These products can also be used to create plumper and more defined lips. In larger quantities, fillers can be used to perform “Liquid Facelifts”. This refers to using volume to lift up minor degrees of saggy skin. 3) Chemical Peels/Microdermabrasion: These procedures are done at different depths. Very superficial treatments help exfoliate dead skin cells and sometimes some of the discoloration of your skin. Deeper treatments may improve skin texture or wrinkles. OPERATIVE PROCEDURES: The majority of my patients are very pleased with our non operative techniques. Unfortunately, the older we get, the more elasticity we lose, and the more sag we develop. The most effective way to get rid of significant jowling and loose skin of the

We can all think of someone whose unnatural, windblown look was evident, even from a great distance. It is my goal to see that this person is not someone I have operated on. It is important to have a discussion with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who has experience in treating the aging patient. Make a list of the things that concern you. Ask them how they would propose to improve your areas of concern, and if they have any additional suggestions for improvement. Computer software can be used to show you what the changes might look like and can be an excellent communication tool. Look at their before and after photos so you can tell whether the degree of improvement and the artistic results look good to you. Speaking to their previous patients to determine the degree of satisfaction and recovery they had is also very helpful. You deserve an individualized plan agreed upon between you and your surgeon. MOST COMMON PROCEDURES: Eyelid Lift: Removes excess skin and fat from the upper and lower eyelids. This is the first area to show aging. The procedure takes less than one hour under sedation, and is sometimes covered by insurance if the excess skin of the upper eyelids impairs your vision. Brow lift: Restores the position of the brow to its natural state, opens up the appearance of the eyes, and softens the wrinkles on the forehead and between the eyes. Neck lift: Improves the appearance of the neck only. Any scars are behind the ears and under the chin. This is a good option when the patient does not have loose skin of the cheeks or jowls. Facelift: Tightens the underlying muscles of the face, removes excess skin of the neck, cheeks and jowls, and gently smoothes things out very naturally. A facelift includes improvement in the neck, cheeks, and jowls all at the same time. Many of my patients started to see me in their early thirties and forties for preventative maintenance. We have worked as a team to make the aging process a gracious one. My goal is to make them look as young as they feel in the most natural way possible. I try to postpone the need for surgery for as long as I can, and am there for them when they need my help. Now is a perfect time to change your lifestyle and begin looking as young as you feel.

A PERSON’S LEVEL OF SELF-CONFIDENCE IS REVEALED IN BEHAVIOR, BODY LANGUAGE, TONE OF VOICE AND MORE.

onfidence — that feeling of self-assurance that comes from within — helps us weather all that life brings. Confidence tells us we can cope with what’s going on in our lives, and that we have a right to be happy. A person’s level of self-confidence is revealed in behavior, body language, tone of voice and more. Feeling good about how we look is only one component of self-confidence, but studies shows that people who are satisfied with their personal appearance are more willing to take personal and professional risks. Modern cosmetic procedures are one way to help us look better and gain confidence. Advances in cosmetic procedures mean creating our “best self” is more affordable and comfortable than ever. Down time after procedures is shorter now than decades ago, and more professionals are providing a wider variety of surgical and non-surgical procedures than ever. It’s easy to look in the mirror and think that we could never look like the models in the fashion magazines, but often even a small change can give us the boost in confidence we need to carry ourselves differently and let our inner beauty shine through. Getting a facial or anti-wrinkle treatment helps keep your face looking young, and getting a teeth-whitening treatment or cosmetic veneers to hide a gap makes you more likely to smile. Laser treatments for varicose veins can give you the motivation to get out and enjoy our beautiful natural world in the Lowcountry without pain or embarrassment. These are examples of things that you can do to alleviate that one aspect of your appearance that you can’t stop fixating on. The Hilton Head Island and Bluffton area is home to many trained professionals who specialize in services that can help you make the transformation you’re looking for. These professionals work to bring you more health and happiness — the two most important things in life. Our local health and beauty industries offer the most innovative and up-to-date technologies out there. Ultimately, this is not a call to embrace every trend and standard set by celebrities, but rather a call to love yourself, and not be afraid to give yourself the best. The before-and-after beauty treatments presented on the following pages exemplify the types of physical changes that can give you a little extra spring in your step. Read on, because you deserve to learn about them.

Non-invasive procedures to eliminate fat and tighten the skin are gaining popularity, with the fastest growing procedure cellulite treatments - up nearly 20 percent over last year. "Unwanted fat is something that affects so many Americans," said American Society of Plastic Surgeons President Jeffrey E. Janis, MD. "Plastic surgeons are able to give patients more options than ever before for fat elimination or redistribution. Patients appreciate having options, especially if they can act as maintenance steps while they decide if getting something more extensive down the line will be right for them." Current non-invasive fat reduction and skin tightening procedures continue to gain popularity: • Non-invasive fat reduction procedures that use special technology to "freeze" away fat without surgery increased 7 percent. • Non-surgical cellulite treatments that use lasers to eliminate fat increased 19 percent (up 55 percent since 2000) • Non-invasive skin tightening procedures that target fat and tighten sagging areas increased 9 percent.

PICKLEBALL IS PICKING UP STEAM IN THE LOWCOUNTRY
BY JUSTIN JARRETT | PHOTOS BY LLOYD WAINSCOTT
T
he funny name might raise an eyebrow, and the analogy to playing ping-pong on a badminton court might be tough to wrap your head around, but more and more Lowcountry residents are falling in love with pickleball. While some devoted tennis players are reluctant to embrace the game, others find it to be a great alternative thanks to its smaller court and quick pace. Take, for example, Christine McGrath, a top touring pro who discovered pickleball after playing collegiate tennis. “I was pretty reluctant because it sounded weird, but I got addicted right away and entered my first pro tournament like two weeks after,” McGrath said. McGrath and fellow pro Ben Johns recently planned a vacation on Hilton Head Island after playing a pro tournament in Atlanta and figured they would see if there was an opportunity to put on a clinic while they were visiting. They wound up working six clinics around the area. “Hilton Head is a surprisingly big pickleball community,” McGrath said. “I didn’t expect that. I thought we would be working one or two days, and now we’re working every day.” The Palmetto Dunes Tennis Center, with its eight dedicated pickleball courts, became their de facto headquarters during the trip, with their clinics drawing locals and tourists alike. Some were beginners, but many were devoted players looking to pick up some pointers to take their game to the next level. “People improve so fast, that’s why they really love it,” said 19-year-old Johns, who picked up the sport at age 17 and has played professionally for two years. “They get that taste of improvement and they want more of it.” Would-be players might not pick up the game quite as quickly as Johns, an experienced tennis and table tennis player who had played pickleball only two months before placing fifth in the pro division of the U.S. Open in his first tournament. But if the robust programming available on the Palmetto Dunes courts is any indication, they’re flocking to the game. Palmetto Dunes began lining some of its tennis courts for pickleball in June 2015 and eventually converted two tennis courts into eight dedicated pickleball courts. Now entering its fourth summer offering pickleball programming, the resort holds beginner clinics every Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Friday; intermediate clinics every Tuesday and Thursday; and round

robins daily from 10 to 11:30 a.m. Head pickleball pro Mark Anders encourages prospective players to attend a clinic and stick around for the round robin to put their newly learned skills into action. “The clinic is about information, and the round robin is about playing and beginning to try to integrate all those things, which is a lot more challenging,” Anders said. “That’s when it all begins to make sense.”
Considering the Lowcountry’s love for other social sports such as golf and tennis, it’s no surprise that pickleball is catching on. “I think it’s a perfect place for it, because you have so many fun activities here,” Johns said. “It’s a perfect vacation game, too, because you can pick it up really fast and everyone learns it really easily.”

LOCAL PLAYERS HAVE EYES ON VICTORY AT BERKELEY HALL EVENT BY JUSTIN JARRETT
T
he list of golfers who have won the Players Amateur is impressive, but the list of players who have teed it up in the Lowcountry’s premier amateur golf event without hoisting the trophy is even more eye-popping. Bluffton’s Bryson Nimmer is on the second list, but he would prefer to be on the first. Nimmer, who finished second at last year’s event after a playoff with North Florida’s Philip Knowles, is among the 81 players who will be vying for one of the amateur golf world’s most prestigious titles when the Players Amateur returns July 10-15 to Berkeley Hall Club’s North Course. “I’m excited to get another crack at it,” said Nimmer, a Hilton Head Christian Academy graduate and current Clemson standout. Nimmer walked to the 18th green during last year’s final round needing a two-putt to win the Players Amateur — and an exemption into the RBC Heritage Presented by Boeing — but wound up losing to Knowles on the second playoff hole. He had several more close calls during his junior season at Clemson, where he recorded eight top-10 finishes in 10 events, including a seventh place showing at the NCAA Championships, where he held the lead entering the final round. He knows the wins are going to come, perhaps on his home course at Berkeley Hall. “I think the biggest thing is just putting yourself in the situation enough where it finally happens. I’ve done a good PHOTOS COURTESY OF BERKELEY HALL

job of that,” Nimmer said. “It will eventually happen. If I’m in the top five every week, that’s a good thing.” To fall short at the Players Amateur is nothing to be ashamed of — the alumni who never won here include two-time U.S. Open champion Brooks Koepka, past Heritage champs Wesley Bryan and Matt Kuchar, and PGA Tour stars Justin Thomas, Dustin Johnson, Patrick Reed, Kyle Stanley, Daniel Berger and Kevin Kisner. Past champions include Rickie Fowler, Brian Harman, Camilo Villegas and Bill Has. To join their ranks, Nimmer will have to outplay this year’s outstanding international field, which features 19 of the top 100 players in the Scratch Players World Amateur Rankings. That group includes Nimmer, No. 13, and Knowles, No. 35, who is bidding to become the first repeat champion in the tournament’s history. One
player it doesn’t include is Hilton Head Island’s Andrew Orischak, who is back in the field for the first time since missing the cut in 2015. Orischak was one of the nation’s top junior golfers coming out of high school and reached the finals of the 2015 U.S. Junior Amateur at Colleton River. He has enjoyed some success in his first two seasons at the University of Virginia, but his amateur ranking hasn’t been high enough to afford him many opportunities to play in the top events. He was the stroke play medalist at the Carolinas Golf Association’s S.C. Amateur Match Play and reached the quarterfinals, and he hopes to carry that momentum into a week at Berkeley Hall that could vault him up the rankings and grant him invitations to more events — potentially even the Heritage. “It’s the opportunity to live out a lifelong dream, for sure,” Orischak said. “It’s a cool opportunity.”

Where Are They Now? Betsy La Force A FORCE FOR CHANGE
BY MARCO FREY
A
s drivers buzzed by her group of cyclists making their way from Charleston to Savannah, Betsy La Force realized just how important her job was. The gang of environmentalists and city planners— participating in a New Urbanism professional seminar in Charleston — experienced firsthand during the grueling 130-mile ride how ill-equipped the Lowcountry is to handle traffic of all varieties. “The road rage really brought to light the lack of safe bicycle infrastructure in the Lowcountry,” said La Force, who is the communities and
transportation project manager for the nonprofit Coastal Conservation League. At the league, La Force helps shape policy aimed at encouraging transportation alternatives and thoughtful residential development, as well as mitigating runaway sprawl. It’s part of the nonprofit organization’s mission to protect the Lowcountry landscape, wildlife, clean water and quality of life. With more than 30 full-time staff members, offices in downtown Charleston, Georgetown and Beaufort and a full-time lobbyist in Columbia, the group weighs in on policy concerning anything from small-scale farming to highway expansion.

THE EXPERIENCE WAS GREAT, BUT I WAS DRAWN TO SOMETHING
BIGGER.
– Betsy La Force
La Force, now 28, grew up on Hilton Head Island, surrounded by what she describes as, “different flora and fauna coming and going with the seasons.” She spent many summers as an Outside Hilton Head kayak guide, learning about coastal ecology and then sharing that knowledge with visitors. During her time at the College of Charleston, she took up composting at the urging of a friend living down the street. After college, she worked for a software company, but it began to feel unrelated to the values she was living out in her community. “My life felt kind of isolated,” she said. “I woke up, drove to Mount Pleasant, drove home.” Her composting friend, Dana, helped her land a job with Smart Recycling, a startup, and La Force spearheaded composting initiatives across the region. Because the company was a small startup, she often found herself alone at the office taking care of business instead of soaking up knowledge from peers. She wanted to do more in the community. “The experience was great but I also felt drawn to something bigger,” she said. “I wanted to affect change on a greater level.” She saw a job opening for a communities and transportation project manager at the Coastal Conservation League and wanted to apply. But she was worried she didn’t have the right skills, and that she would need a master’s degree in environmental studies or urban planning. But she decided to go for it, nailing the essay prompt and sending hand-written thank-you notes to each interviewer. She landed the job within a month. Six months into her new job at the time of this interview, La Force had just returned from an event called Awakening Motion, which brings awareness to the lack of transportation, bike, and pedestrian infrastructure in the Charleston area. It’s centered around an emblematic intersection that was the site of 23 accidents in the past year. “We got a bunch of people in the community to come out, including artist Jonathan Green and Mayor John Tecklenburg,” La Force said. “It was a crazy busy day at work; I was just furiously trying to get through my checklist.” But she wouldn’t change a thing. “Looking back on an old journal entry, there were ideas written down about being rooted in my community. Now I am more than I ever would have dreamed.”

L
oggerhead turtles returned to Hilton Head Island when the nesting season began in May. As of midJune, 79 nests had been laid on the island’s beaches. Many locals and visitors hope for the rare chance to see a female nest on the beach at night and eagerly anticipate the emergence of hatchlings. A few lucky beachgoers will witness the baby turtles’ first crawl into the ocean. While most people who live on or visit Hilton Head will never see these elusive creatures, it’s still possible for everyone to help protect them. For example, if you own or rent a beachfront home, make sure you turn off lights facing the beach during sea turtle nesting season. Light disorients newborn hatchlings and may cause them to crawl away from the ocean instead of toward it. Or you could help protect sea turtles while funding public education about them by adopting a nest. The Coastal Discovery Museum has run an adopt-anest program for 21 years. For a $25 donation, adopters receive a certificate, a sea turtle souvenir, email updates, pictures of the nest’s progress, and a final report on their nest’s production. For a $50 donation, adopters receive all of the above plus a museum t-shirt. “The mission of the museum is to inspire people to care for the Lowcountry, and some of the Adopt-A-Nest funds help underwrite programs we run for over 7,000 school children per year,” said Coastal Discover Museum CEO Rex Garniewicz. The museum also uses some of the adoption proceeds to print materials to educate the public about turtles through programs at beachfront hotels and in the museum’s Tom Peeples Discovery Lab. “Really, the biggest educational asset that we have are our nest adopters who live near or walk on the beach,” Garniewicz said. “They help spread the word to visitors who don’t even know it is sea turtle nesting season. We often find they print out our Adopt-A-Nest emails to share with visitors.”

IN 2017 THERE WERE 325 SEA TURTLE NESTS ON HILTON HEAD.
Garniewicz said the Coastal Discovery Museum also is working on an adopt-a-dolphin program to help fund Dr. Eric Montie’s dolphin research at the University of South Carolina- Beaufort. The South Carolina Department of Natural Resources also runs a nest adoption program. Money raised by the program goes toward sea turtle protection efforts on Daufuskie and Hunting islands. For $25, DNR will send adopters a certificate and details about their nest and add them to the list of adopters at seaturtle.org. Other conservation groups need help protecting the area’s turtles, too. The nonprofit Hilton Head Island Sea Turtle Protection Project patrols the island’s beaches, monitoring and marking nests and, when needed, moving them above the high tide line. Donations to the group are used to fuel and maintain its vehicles, as well as supply the paper and iPads volunteers use to collect data about local nesting habits, said project director Amber Kuehn.

YEAR ROUND POOLS
ere in the Lowcountry, we’re surrounded by lots of water: the ocean, marshlands, lagoons, ponds, creeks and lakes. The many swimming pools that dot the Lowcountry landscape bring that water even closer — right into our backyards. But not just any pool will do for Lowcountry residents; gone are the days of the basic white rectangular swimming pool. Today, each soothing hardscape is unique in its design, functionality, maintenance needs and amenities — and each offers year-round outdoor pleasure for homeowners. Once you decide to install a pool, there are two main points to consider: What kind of pool you want — concrete with steel reinforcement or fiberglass — and where you want to put it. Both will depend somewhat on the existing landscape of your yard. There are plenty of good reasons to build a concrete — or gunite — pool or install a fiberglass pool. Generally, the initial cost for each is about the same — $20,000 to $100,000 — as is durability; both usually last 20 to 30 years. The average national cost to install a pool is $43,706, according to HomeAdvisor, and both pool types can increase the resale value of the home. In the end, it comes down to your personal preference.

COASTAL POOLS
CONCRETE This material is the best choice if you want a custom-shaped pool design or a pool size not offered in the fiberglass world, like a depth of more than 8 feet, or a pool with a naturescape with natural rock features and other amenities like a waterfall, grotto or beach entry. Concrete takes longer to install because work is done on-site. Maintenance can be more intensive and you may face additional costs to repair structural damage over the years. With a concrete pool, you may also have to spend more time on chemical treatments, because concrete’s porous nature may allow algae and mold growth. FIBERGLASS This pre-cast, factory-produced material, which comes in a variety of shapes and sizes, is virtually maintenance-free because of its nonporous surface, which doesn’t alter the water/chemical composition. Pre-molded features — which don’t require any framing on site, can include steps, benches and swim-outs. Its smooth surface is easy on the feet, heats up more quickly than concrete and retains heat longer. However, keep in mind that design, shape and size options are limited to what manufacturers can produce.
POOLS GIVE AN IMMEDIATE LUXURY FEEL TO ANY BACKYARD. MAINTENANCE Concrete pools require more attention than fiberglass pools, and need to be cleaned and repaired more frequently. Expect to resurface a concrete pool every decade or two — and spend up to $10,000 doing it. But no matter which type of pool you go with, there are everyday maintenance tasks that will help keep your backyard oasis in working order: skimming off debris and leaves; checking the supply inventory; brushing and cleaning the pool’s sides and bottom, where dirt collects; inspecting electrical components; adjusting pH levels for chemical balance; checking water circulation and filters to ensure peak efficiency; and emptying the skimmer and pump baskets. Installing a salt water chlorinator can eliminate the need to manually treat your pool with chlorine.

GET TO KNOW THE HOLY CITY BY CAROL WEIR
PHOTOS COURTESY OF THE CHARLESTON VISITOR AND CONVENTION BUREAU
O
n Charleston’s cobblestone streets, history, hipsters and high style coexist side-by-side. The best visits to the Holy City combine some of each. Over the course of a few days, visitors will barely scratch the surface of all that Charleston has to offer — especially if they’re on a family trip catering to different ages — but even a short getaway is enough to whet the appetite and gain an appreciation for South Carolina’s oldest and largest city. With a little planning, it’s possible to explore downtown, learn some history, get out on the water and venture outside the city to enjoy the shore before it’s time to head back home. Walking is the most convenient way to get around downtown, and when it comes to convenience it’s hard to beat the location of the King Charles Inn, a historic property that once hosted writer Edgar Allan Poe. The boutique hotel is a short stroll from City Market and other historic spots, and a block from great shopping on King Street. The South Carolina Aquarium is also nearby, as is Upper King Street, a trendy, up-and-coming district of restaurants, bars, and shops. The King Charles Inn offers free onsite parking — practically unheard of in Charleston — and the staff is warm and welcoming, offering full concierge services. Each evening at the hotel’s happy hour reception, art lovers, foodies and history buffs chat about their day’s activities and the next day’s plans. There is also a small outdoor pool with tables and chairs
on a terrace and a quiet library area that’s a respite after a busy day of sightseeing. The following activities in and around Charleston are fun for families as well as adults with a sense of adventure. Take a carriage tour: For an overview of the city, a horsedrawn carriage tour can be a better choice than a walking tour — parents will probably hear fewer complaints of “I’m hot!” and “My feet hurt!” The carriages have canopies and the one-hour tours happen rain or shine, covering 25 to 30 city blocks. Some include the French Quarter area, Rainbow Row and Waterfront Park, but to keep carriage tours from stopping traffic, the city prescribes the route of each carriage's trip by lottery (or rather by the draw of a colored ball in an old bingo machine.) Palmetto Carriage Works, which leaves from a big red barn on Guignard Street, received good reviews from Jan and Steve Dillard of Greensboro, North Carolina, who were visiting Charleston for the first time.

APPETITE.
“Our horse’s name was Karla and she was very well-cared for,” Jan Dillard said. “I enjoyed the personal stories as well as the historical facts.” Eat well: Recently rated as one of the top 10 foodie cities in the U.S., Charleston is home to established local legends like Fig, Hawk’s Seafood, and Husk, plus dynamic up-and-coming restaurants. One of the best casual restaurants in the city is HoM, which is a burger boutique, ping pong lounge and neighborhood bar. Carnivores can devour specialty burgers like the Cowboy Killer, with bacon, gouda, barbecue sauce, tomato aioli and crispy onions. Owners Pete Smith and Pete Rivas are especially proud of its smoky flavors, which invoke a meal cooked over a campfire. Vegetarians, meanwhile, rave about the sweet potato and black bean burger and the buffalo cauliflower appetizer, while kids will have fun playing ping-pong in the back. For a light and refreshing cocktail that tastes like summer in a glass, try HoM’s strawberry basil gin. Get out on the water: In a new two-hour tour, guests pilot their own two-person boats and follow a guide along the Cooper River and out towards Fort Sumter. “Seeing Charleston by boat is amazing,” said Ray Berrouët, director of sales at King Charles Inn, which handles bookings for the tour. “And you get to drive your own boat.” Drivers must be 18 or older with a valid driver’s license, and there is room on each boat for two adults and one small child. Sing a Gullah Spiritual: Outside of Charleston in Mount Pleasant is Boone Hall Plantation, one of America's oldest working plantations. It has been continually growing crops for more than 320 years. It is gorgeous, with beautifully manicured grounds, a butterfly garden and an avenue of huge oaks lining an unpaved entrance road to the stately Colonialrevival mansion. Outside one of the nine restored slave cabins on the property, a Gullah storyteller entertains with tales of her rural South Carolina childhood, and asks volunteers from the audience to help act out the African-inspired tar baby story, in which wily Bre'r Rabbit outwits Bre'r Fox. Her presentation finishes with audience sing-along of “Amazing Grace” and

Parents can sit in the beachfront pavilion and enjoy live music and ocean breezes while keeping an eye on their children. After a day in the sun, eat dinner at the inn’s upscale Coastal Provisions restaurant, where the creative menu, fresh fish and attentive service compares to and exceeds many downtown Charleston restaurants. Then spend the night at the inn, which has received a AAA Four Diamond award every year since it opened.

“Down by the Riverside.” Admission to Boone Hall Plantation includes this and several other 30-minute tours and presentations. Take a surf lesson: Also outside Charleston, on the Isle of Palms, the Boardwalk Inn at Wild Dunes Resort is a good home base for beach fun — a recent re-nourishment project just added 250 yards of white sand to the beach. The conditions in this area are much better for surfing than on Hilton Head Island, and the hotel offers surf lessons for beginners

Heritage Tourism is Trending LOCAL CULTURE GETS A BOOST
BY JAMES A. MALLORY PHOTOS BY ROB KAUFMANN
H
eritage tourism in the Lowcountry is gaining ground, with a new alliance of Lowcountry leaders, pledges of financial support from Beaufort County and the Town of Hilton Head Island, and partnership with the Gullah/Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor. Four sites in the Lowcountry are designated by the National Parks Service as Reconstruction Era National Monuments. And both Hilton Head and Bluffton are part of the Gullah/Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor, which spans the coastal areas and Sea Islands from North Carolina to Florida. With the goal of doing more to promote the Lowcountry’s heritage to vacationers, local political and cultural leaders have formed a regional network called the Heritage Tourism Corporation. This group wants to help individual groups and organizations build a coordinated plan around heritage tourism. “We see the corporation as the central focal point for heritage tourism in the county,” said Hilton Head Island Mayor David Bennett. “A place for them (the various attractions) to collaborate and build relationships together.” Other tourism corporation members include the mayors of Bluffton, Beaufort and Port Royal; the county chairman of Summerville; and the chairman of the Santa Elena Foundation in Beaufort. The corporation will soon bring in a consultant to research and determine the economic impact of investing in various heritage sites.

Mitchelville (exploremitchelville. org) is just one of many examples of Hilton Head's heritage. Others include: •
The Gullah Museum of Hilton Head Island was founded by Gullah storyteller Louise Miller Cohen and is dedicated to maintaining Gullah customs, traditions, language, stories, songs and structures on Hilton Head. For more information, go to gullahmuseumhhi.org.
•
Gullah Heritage Trail Tours takes visitors to Hilton Head's Gullah communities. Tours are narrated by descendants of the former slaves who inhabited Hilton Head during and after the Civil War. For more information, go to gullaheritage.com.
•
The Heritage Library offers history tours and instruction and resources for geneology research. For more information, go to heritagelib.org.
•
The Coastal Discovery Museum offers cultural heritage tours. For more information, go to coastaldiscovery.org.
Progress on Mitchelville is an exciting part of the local heritage tourism scene. A future interactive museum at Historic Mitchelville Freedom Park will preserve the site of the nation’s first self-governing town of freed slaves, established during the Civil War, as well as the African roots of the town’s first residents — their food, art, language and religion. Recently, Beaufort County gave the Historic Mitchelville Preservation Project $250,000 to pay for its master plan, said Ahmad Ward, the nonprofit’s executive director. In April, the group’s board of directors issued a request for proposals for the master plan, and last month Ward said several companies specializing in historic preservation were planning to submit bids before the June 20 deadline.
Ward said the master plan will focus on themes of freedom, democracy, citizenship and opportunity. It’s the last theme, he said, that is most important. “Once they had the opportunity, they were able to flourish for 20 years,” he said. “We will then link it back to how important that is now.” Through its Rural and Critical Lands Program, Beaufort County has also pledged to fund up to $575,000 for improvements at the site. The Town of Hilton Head Island — which also pays Ward’s salary — will provide matching funds. The museum at Mitchellville will recreate a section of the historic town that was destroyed by a hurricane in 1892 and will focus on “the determination and will of the people to have freedom,” Ward said. Other plans include a replica

of the praise house that stood on the site, modern buildings and technology. Ward expects to present the project’s master plan to Hilton Head and Beaufort County officials within the next year. Finally, Hilton Head is an important part of the Gullah/ Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor, and the organization’s involvement on the island is growing. Last month, as part of the Juneteenth celebration put on by Historic Mitchelville, the Charleston-based nonprofit sponsored "The Language You Cry In." The film links present-day Gullah people to 18th-century Sierra Leone.

“SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER” IS BACK
G
et your bell bottoms out and your boogie shoes on for the Arts Center’s Southeastern premiere of Saturday Night Fever. Look back to the 70s with music and lyrics by the legendary Bee Gees for this story about a 19-year-old Brooklyn ladies’ man, Tony Manero, whose weekends are spent at the local disco where he can temporarily forget about his dead-end job. In the midst of his passion for dancing at the club, Tony finds himself caught up in a love triangle with his ex-girlfriend and new girl Stephanie. “Stayin’ Alive,” “Boogie Shoes,” “Tragedy,” “More than a Woman,” and “How Deep is Your Love,” are just a few of the gems in this disco party of a musical. Fueled by vintage Bee Gee hits, this contemporary retelling captures the energy, passion and life-changing moments that have thrilled movie audiences since 1977. Now, a new generation of dancers explores the soaring sounds and pulsating rhythms of this coming-of-age disco fantasy. The cast includes local legend Candice Glover, winner of Season 12 of “American Idol.” Tickets are $50 for adults and $37 for children. Shows are Tuesdays-Saturdays at 8 p.m., Sundays at 2 p.m. and Monday, July 2 at 8 p.m. For more information and tickets call 843842-2787 or visit www.artshhi.com.

WE NEEDED A PLACE WHERE ORIGINAL MUSIC IS REALLY ENCOURAGED AND CELEBRATED. -JORDAN ROSS
H
ow do you take your coffee? Black? Cream and sugar? How about with a piping hot side of local music? When Josh Cooke opened Corner Perk in 2009, he pictured a cozy café offering food and coffee in a homey atmosphere. After several years of success, he relocated the shop in 2014 to Calhoun Street Promenade in Old Town Bluffton. Friend Jordan Ross convinced him to transform the building’s empty second floor into a soundstage, and Cooke found himself in the music business. “There are lots of artists in the area who don’t have a good place to play,” Ross said. “We needed a place where original music is really encouraged and celebrated. That was the idea behind The Roasting Room.” The Roasting Room boasts a full audio backline, as well as in-house lighting and sound crews. It makes Corner Perk the only Bluffton café with its own nightclub
145 hiltonheadmonthly.com
July 18 xx-xx AfterDark.indd 145
— one that is exceeding Ross and Cooke’s expectations. “We’ve had a least 10 Grammy Awardwinning artists perform,” Cooke said. Music lovers are drawn to the venue’s intimate, acoustically tuned space. The Roasting Room reflects the spirit of jazz and blues clubs back in the day: There’s a comprehensive selection of bourbon, audience members are there to truly appreciate the performance, and every seat is the best one in the house. It seems musicians agree. July’s lineup includes bluegrass and comedy band The Cleverlys on July 19, a solo acoustic show by Hannah Wicklund on July 26, and Americana blues and jazz with Seth Walker on July 28, among others.

Mouth Watering BY CAROL WEIR | PHOTOGRAPHY BY ROB KAUFMAN
REACQUAINT YOURSELF WITH SOME OF THE LOWCOUNTRY’S MOST COLOSSAL CREATIONS OF MEAT, CHEESE AND IMAGINATION.
THE JAKE-ZILLA BURGER
A half-pund Prime beef burger grilled over an open flame, topped with bacon, Pimento cheese, slow-cooked, hand-pulled pork, fred onions and drizzled with house made barbeque sauce. Served at Salty Dog Cafe
M
ake no mistake, the once humble hamburger has been elevated in the Lowcountry. The formerly quite basic American staple has been deconstructed, parsed, analyzed, and, in the minds of some culinary experts, perfected. On Hilton Head Island and in Bluffton these days, it’s not difficult to find yourself in the general vicinity of an outstanding burger. Locals’ love of all forms of beef between buns has grown so passionate that it seems like every restaurant that opens feels compelled to put a specialty burger on its menu. But a burger is only as good as the meat used to make it. Many of the area’s best restaurants use sa combination of ground chuck and brisket for the ideal fat-toflavor ratio. Others use ground sirloin. Forget the word “lean” (at least for this meal). This will ensure your burger is flavorful and juicy. The enemy to any burger is overcooking, so don’t be surprised if your server cringes if you order yours well done.

Tips for creating the Perfect Burgers When you’re manning the grill this summer, be the master of your domain with these helpful tips to make the perfect burger. Have your guests bowing to your culinary prowes for maneuvering around the open flame.
Butter The Bun
Make it brioche or challah, butter it and slap on a hot skillet for extra flavor.
Crisp And Meaty Vegetables Organic, locally grown; it has to be fresh. And try the lettuce underneath the patty to catch juices from soaking through that beautifly toasted bun.
Melt The Cheese All The Way Whichever your preference it needs to give your chosen protein a great big hug.
Use High-Quality Meats
USDA Certified is #1. Use ground chuck, brisket or ground sirloin.

Good Eats Sweet Treats BY CAROL WEIR
A
t last count, Beaufort County had more than 20 places where those who love ice cream, gelato, sorbet, soft-serve or fro-yo could get their fix of creamy goodness. While frozen yogurt sold by the ounce is the newest addition to Hilton Head Island and Bluffton, other options abound to satisfy cravings for something cold and sweet on a hot summer day. The first ice cream shop opened on Hilton Head Island in the early 1970s. (Before that, Lowcountry residents had to travel to Savannah or make their ice cream at home). Many customers who first brought their kids to local ice cream shops are now treating their grandkids. The creamy, homemade goodness offered locally is the stuff of memories for locals and visitors alike. Lowcountry residents and visitors take classic flavors such as Mint Chocolate Chip and French Vanilla for granted, but many shops also embrace innovation with upscale offerings such as Expresso, and kid-pleasing flavors including Superman. This brightly-colored ice cream comes as a swirl of blue, red, and yellow—the three primary colors of Superman’s costume. In addition to regular ice cream, here are some of the varieties of frozen desserts available in the Lowcountry: Frozen yogurt Very popular around the U.S., frozen yogurt got its mainstream debut in 1981, thanks to the chain TCBY. It’s based on the model of soft-serve but is lower in fat and offers a tangy taste, thanks to, well, the yogurt. Gelato Gelato is Italian for “frozen.” The type sold locally is made with milk and small amounts of cream, and is typically less airy than ice cream and also lower in fat and calories. Gelato ripples and forms imperfect scoops because it’s so much denser than ice cream. Italian Ice Made with fruit and containing no dairy (although it may contain egg white), Italian ice is light and refreshing.

Soft serve A summertime classic, soft-serve was first created in the 1930s. It gets its super-smooth texture from air that’s introduced as the ingredients are frozen. Available in limited flavors including chocolate and vanilla, it’s most often served in a cone and can be dipped in melted chocolate. Toppings give an added dimension to any frozen dessert. Rainbow sprinkles, crushed Reese’s Pieces, caramel, bits of Oreo cookies, fresh strawberries and slices of mango, hot fudge, whipped cream—the possibilities are endless. At locations with toppings bars, adult supervision is advised. But the dispensers at some shops make adding toppings easier. Recently in Bluffton, two 12-year-old friends discussed their favorite time to get ice cream. They concurred that “two scoops” is the minimum amount of ice cream one should ever order, but disagreed about the age-old dilemma of cup versus cone. “Go for a cone,” said Leon Mata, a rising eighth grader. “You get two desserts for the price of one.”

ART OF THE BURGER What is it about great burgers that can genuinely lay claim to the status of the words “icon” or “classic”? Is it that a great burger is a thing of beauty; a satisfying, messy manifestation of all things umami; fine, freshly ground high quality beef, seasoned with a light touch? Ahhh… then the cheese, tomatoes, loaded up with your heart’s content of bacon, lettuce, pickles, and onion? I think so, and luckily, you can find all that and so much more at Hilton Head Island’s, award winning, Charbar Co. Located in Park Plaza on the south end, the crew at Charbar Co. has no intention of slowing down any time soon. Charbar Co., has most recently been voted the island’s “Best Burger” in the 2018 Island Packet Reader’s Choice awards, a title they have defended for the last 6 years since they first opened in 2012. Best part is, it’s only getting better each year. With the new summer menu now rolled out, there is something for everyone, even vegans! It’s an expanded menu including the Goddess Burger, the BBQ Mac-n-Cheese Pork Sandwich, and the Beyond Burger (a completely plant-based “burger”). Sounds too adventurous for you? No problem! They still have the “build your own” option so you can still get a good ol’ fashioned cheese burger just the way you want it.
The BBQ Mac-n-Cheese Pulled Pork Sandwich
At Charbar Co, they obsess over the fresh, high quality, made from scratch ingredients they put in front of you and the guests who dine with them, appreciate that kind of special quality and service. Their passion is strong for all things culinary and it shows when that first bite is taken. At Charbar Co, guests know what they want and they can get it at a reasonable price and each important crucial ingredient is consistently executed, time after time. The Backyard Burger Not only does Charbar Co have award winning Burgers, but they are well known for their top notch music lineup. Having live, local, music perform every night on the outdoor courtyard stage, is something you do not come across on this Island, another reason why Charbar Co sticks out to being the best in their breed. Music is the heart and soul of most peoples memories so it is the piece that blends it all together for Charbar Co. With the record album art lining the restaurant, the vinyl discs hanging on the walls and bathrooms, and the various soundtracks for all ages playing in the background, from the moment you step foot into Charbar Co, it warps you down memory lane. Check out their Summer Saturday Concert Series, with a rotating roster of the island’s best local bands putting on shows every other Saturday night from 9pm-12am in the courtyard amphitheatre. If you haven’t tried this award winning restaurant yet, it’s a must go-to. Even if it’s just for one of their award-winning milkshakes or to indulge in the best fresh ground burger around, sit back, relax, and listen to some tunes. No matter what you are craving, Charbar Co has what you are looking for.

GOOD OR BAD, YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE A
LEGACY.
N
ot a week goes by that I’m not asked the question, “How can we lead these millennials?” I am to the point now that I generally just laugh at first and then quickly answer, “You lead them like you lead others.” That usually gets me a blank stare and then some form of a follow-up question that usually starts with, “But…” Sure, there is much chatter. And there are a lot of social media posts about this generation. But have you ever thought for a minute that maybe, just maybe, the only difference between this generation and the one you are from is the media exposure? Have you ever considered that it is all just blown out of proportion? I work individually with several successful millennials, and I can tell you firsthand that I lead them the same way I lead everyone else. Here is how you can lead millennials well. 1.Work on self-awareness and improving your leadership skills Choose to be a leader rather than a boss. If you set the standard for good leadership in your organization, your team (from millennials to baby boomers) will respect and follow your lead. 2. Engage and connect with your team Ask more open-ended questions and (this is key)…listen to what they have to say. You may learn something from their perspective, and especially as it pertains to automation, technology, and innovation in the workplace. Get to know them better than you do now. Learn their interests. Find out what they truly value in life. Be caring but don’t be afraid to discipline when needed. It takes both to be a leader. Leaning too far in either direction yields the same lack of results.
3. Drive results Teach them how to drive results with you, not for you. Be a results-driven leader, and you will attract other results-driven people. Set goals with them and develop strategies together. There are instances where they may inspire your team to set higher goals than you would normally consider because they are accustomed to striving for higher levels in sports and technology, for example. Celebrate successes and milestones as a team. When your team works well together and reaches a goal, every person wins. Download and discuss your failures. This is a major lesson for those just starting into their careers. It lets them know that failure happens, that it is OK to fail because it means you have tried to do something. Some of the most valuable lessons in life come from failure. 4. Develop others Make it your personal mission to help them develop as leaders. Invest in their development. Learn together, grow together, and create an environment that is a leadership development machine. 5. Advance the vision Include them in conversations about where the company or department is heading. Ask them for ideas and suggestions. Let them know you want them involved in advancing the vision, through forward thinking and strategies. 6. Leave a legacy Most people think about family when they hear the word “legacy.” And while family is usually our most impactful legacy, we also have an opportunity to leave a legacy to those with whom we work on a daily basis. Good or bad, you are going to have a legacy; why not make it one that speaks to developing current and future leaders?
