It all starts right here.

Open for Business New committee aims to bring big business to our little island. BY SALLY MAHAN

according to statistics gathered by John Salazar, hospitality management professor at the University of South Carolina Beaufort. Additionally, the town lost some 6,500 jobs from 2007-2010, a $780 million hit on the economy, according to Salazar’s numbers. The town appointed retired IBM executive Jim Gant as head of the four-member committee and retired DuPont executive Terrance Ennis as his deputy. Councilman Bill Harkins served on the committee as a nonvoting member and as liaison to the Town Council.

here’s no question that Hilton Head Island has a lot of qualities that could attract new businesses to the community. After all, who wouldn’t want to live here? We have gorgeous beaches, great golf and tennis, fantastic restaurants and shopping, and a pretty amazing lifestyle. So why is it that between 25 and 40 percent of the commercial space on the island is underutilized? And what can be done about it? The answer to those questions will be tackled in the coming months by a new nonprofit Economic THE COMMITTEE GOES TO WORK “The two top goals Development Corporation currently being “This committee was chartered to look at formed. of the Economic the state of economic development on Hilton While it’s taken a fair amount of time to Development Head Island,” said Gant. “That is, if the town get off the ground, the town and the people Corporation will be to were to implement an economic developworking on pulling it together are hoping proactively understand ment corporation, what would it do?

What does the committee believe such an entity will accomplish for the economic enrichment of the island?

MAY 13 14-27 Vibe .indd 14

Why would such an entity be significantly better for the island community’s economic future than what currently exists in the island’s governance structure? How would such an entity fit in with regional efforts? What capabilities (in the form of knowledge, skills and abilities) would such an entity need to be both successful and sustainable? Ultimately, the committee recommended that an economic development corporation be autonomous and independent of the town, that it have its own volunteer board and a salaried executive director. At a November meeting, the Town Council agreed to set up a corporation and set aside $80,000 for an executive director. At its annual retreat in late November and early December 2012, the council examined the advisory committee’s recommendations and discussed how the corporation would function. In February, the town started advertising for volunteer board members. Applications have been coming in since that time. The Economic Development Advisory Committee was expected to present the Town Council with applicants at the end of April. Ennis and Gant said they were very pleased with the quality of people vying for board seats. “This island is absolutely rich in intellectual capability, where they’ve been, what they’ve done to put businesses together,” Ennis said. Town Councilman John McCann said he is expecting some very strong applications. “When we look at the applications, I think we’re going to see a whole host of talent,” he said. “We’ve been very blessed that on this island there are so many talented people. We definitely want to bring in fresh people, too.” At its April meeting, the Town Council did hit a few snags on how the future Economic Development Corporation board members will be selected and how autonomous the corporation will be. Both of those questions are expected to be answered in the coming weeks. “We are leaning in the direction of having the board members elect future board members, and we could end up with (town Manager) Steve Riley on the board as a non-voting member,” McCann said. The advisory committee also recommended that in addition to approving board members, the Town Council would approve the mission, expectations and

goals of the Economic Development Corporation. While the corporation will likely act independent of the town, said Gant, the purse strings will be controlled by the town. One criticism that’s been launched by some council members is the length of time it’s taken for this idea to get off the ground. But “we can’t walk until we crawl,” Gant said. “We’ve found through our research that this is a long-term, slow process and the comparable cities that got into trouble were the ones that ran out and tried to do this quickly. We need to think of this as long-term.”

WHAT’S NEXT Another concern that’s been raised is how the Economic Development Corporation will differ from other groups, like the Hilton Head-Bluffton Chamber of Commerce and the Lowcountry Economic Alliance. Gant said the corporation will work with the chamber and other economy-driven groups. “The main focus of the chamber has been to attract tourists to Hilton Head,” Gant said. “The two top goals of the Economic Development Corporation will be to proactively understand what kind of businesses we need and how to attract them.” Another concern is what type of businesses the Economic Development Corporation will look to attract. Ennis said that is certainly something the committee has discussed over the past several months. “This island is pretty special and pretty contained,” he said. “You can’t bring in just any business. It has to be an environmental and cultural fit.” Gant added that, “we need to think about what kind of businesses are complementary to the tourism industry. What kind of businesses would mesh well with that? “We also want to look at our population,” he said. “We have affluent seniors here, so health care is certainly an opportunity, understanding that health care is more than a doctor, a nurse and a hospital. We also think that small engineering and technology companies could come here, and that companies that may have a manufacturing plant elsewhere would want to have corporate offices here.” Gant said one of the advantages of the corporation is that it will provide a point of contact for new businesses and act as their advocate. Meanwhile, said Ennis, “we all need to present Hilton Head as a place that is not only open for business, but open for the right kind of business.” May 2013

ON THE BENCH:

Jeffrey Watkins

effrey Watkins has made a name for himself locally, on Broadway, and on stage around the world as a master of the theatre. This month, he portrays “Sir Dennis Galahad, The Dashingly Handsome” in The Arts Center of Coastal Carolina’s production of Spamalot, and we’re proud to feature him in the first installment of our reinvigorated On the Bench interview as he opens up on being dashingly handsome, his habit of climbing large mountains, and his alarming command of avian aerodynamics.

the run of the show. We met on a tour of Jesus Christ Superstar in the early ’90s. She is also in the business. She does a lot of choreographing around town and will be performing in the next show at the Arts Center, “Chicago.” We have two sons Caleb, 11, and Dillon, 9.

WHAT DREW YOU TO THE ROLE OF GALAHAD? His hair. Definitely his hair. I don’t have much of my own to play with anymore so I would like to express my gratitude to whomever agreed to have their glorious blonde locks shorn so that I may once again live in a yesteryear when I had a long flowing Fabio hairdo!

WHAT'S THE VIBE LIKE BACKSTAGE ON OPENING NIGHT? Sheer panic. Pandemonium. Crushed egos, shattered dreams. The occasional unicorn sighting. Typical work environment.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE SONG FROM THE SHOW? “The Song that Goes Like This,” getting to reunite with Meredith Inglesby. Meredith and I have performed together many times. The first time was in my first show at the Arts Center, “Some Enchanted Evening” in 2000.

amplitude (U ≈ 3fA). As a European swallow beats its wings 15 times per second (or 43 times per second as it is incorrectly stated in the show) and has an amplitude of .22 meters per beat we can formulate the following: U ≈ 3fA f ≈ 15 (beats per second) A ≈ 0.22 (meters per beat) U ≈ 3*15*0.22 ≈ 9.9 so using this method leaves us with roughly 9.9 meters per second. Method two for figuring airspeed velocity of a sparrow involves a Google search which returns a value somewhere between 9-11 meters per second or roughly 24 miles per hour.

The Port Royal

Experiment By Lance Hanlin

n March 5, Hilton Head Town Council approved spending $5 million to purchase 102 acres at Port Royal Plantation. The property consists of a large portion of Planter’s Row Golf Course, located on William Hilton Parkway between Dillon and Union Cemetery roads. It is the largest single parcel the town has ever acquired. “It was a pretty easy decision,” town manager Steve Riley said. “The price was very good – about $50,000 an acre. The last time we built a recreation field on the island, the land cost us about $200,000 an acre. If nothing else, this is a pretty good buy for future recreational needs.” The town purchased the property using its Land Acquisition Program, which was started to help manage and control growth on the island. Since 1991, the town has spent more than $168 million to preserve some 1,300 acres from commercial development. “I have often said that the Land Acquisition Program is one of the most important efforts the town has ever undertaken,” Mayor Drew Laughlin said. “I believe that this purchase, over time and with careful and thoughtful planning, will prove to be the crown jewel of our properties.” Unlike many golf courses that wind through neighborhoods, homes and other properties, Planter’s Row Golf Course is self-contained. Its 1,494 feet of frontage on William Hilton Parkway made it especially attractive to the town, which has been trying to protect a buffer between the environment and U.S. 278 for years. The town’s use of the parcel has not been determined. Riley said the project will take

a back seat behind the Coligny redevelopment, Chaplin Linear Park and Shelter Cove Waterfront Park projects. Once the sale becomes official this summer, the town will immediately lease the property back to the original owner, Heritage Golf Group, for $1 per year. Riley described the lease as a cost-avoidance measure, saving the town maintenance costs until it can fully focus on the project. In 2008, voters approved a referendum allowing the town to purchase land for parks and open space. The town was approved for $17 million but initially borrowed only $12 million. “We have voter authorization still for that additional $5 million,” Riley said. “It will be structured in such a way that when other debt expires, this will come on board and there won’t be any tax increases.” The parcel is part of Port Royal Plantation’s minimum required open space and is zoned for open space golf. The town first expressed interest in the property last summer but its offer of $1 million was rejected. Gary Dee, executive vice president for Heritage Golf Group, said several groups expressed interest in purchasing the property but his company eventually came to terms with the town. “One big factor was the fact that they were interested, they were able to move in a timely manner and there were no contingencies with their offer,” Dee said. Dee said a sizable amount of the $5 million will go back into the Heritage Golf Group’s other two courses at Port Royal Plantation. “This sale will allow us to undertake some significant capital projects on the golf course and in and around the clubhouse,” Dee said. “It would be hard to fund with just our normal

capital improvement dollars that come from a percentage of revenue. We see it as a win-win for everyone.” Some residents of Port Royal Plantation were disappointed with the decision to sell the property to the town. In September, the Port Royal Plantation Board of Directors approved a deal with The Melrose Co. to develop the land. Dee said Heritage Golf Group was unaware of that agreement and only learned of the deal after it became public knowledge. Bob Kolb, co-founder and CEO of The Melrose Co., said he was contacted last April by former Port Royal Plantation general manager Dan Davis on behalf of the board. “They asked us if we would work on a plan to develop it,” Kolb said. The Melrose Co. came up with a plan featuring three products: 1). Around 50 acres of low-maintenance, lock-and-leave retirement homes, as requested by the Port Royal Property Owners Association. The plan was to build the homes for Port Royal residents interested in downsizing from their larger homes while staying in the plantation. It would have included a sales center, a reception center and four furnished model homes. 2). Around 30 acres for an outpost apartment complex Kolb described as “workforce housing.” Tenants of the multi-family apartments would not have paid Port Royal Plantation POA fees or had access to any of the community’s amenities. 3). A shopping and dining area similar to Main Street Village. The company planned to use Whole Foods Market grocery store as an anchor tenant for the shops and restaurants on Continues on page 20 >>

Continued from page 18 14 acres at the corner of Dillon Road and U.S. 278. The Melrose Co.’s plan also included giving $2.27 million to the Port Royal Association of Landowners. “Normally when you develop a community like that, you have to put in amenities … swimming pools and stuff like that,” he said. “In this case we were not going to need to do that because the residents would have access to the clubhouse, the beach house and all that. We called it a contribution to amenities. Instead of them giving us a list of things to do, we thought it would be better if we (gave them the money) and they decided what they wanted to do.” Kolb said The Melrose Co. was negotiating a price with the Heritage Golf Group while working with Riley and the town to learn more about zoning and other regulations required to move the project forward. He was not aware the town was also interested in purchasing the property. “As a private developer, we needed to have the property rezoned from its current use,” Kolb said. “We were unable to buy the property or even go to binding contract until we had it rezoned. The town feels like they can rezone property for themselves. They didn’t have the obstacle we had. We had a need to rezone and they didn’t. Their course to the property was much less complicated that ours.” With no immediate plans, Kolb feels the town purchased the property just to keep his company from doing so. He also feels Hilton Head Island is missing out on the new jobs and tax revenue the project would have created. From the town’s perspective, it was a willing buyer purchasing desirable property from a willing seller at a reasonable price, without compromising the land’s intended use. “This is part of required open space for Port Royal,” Riley said. “It has no allowable density associated with it. On an island with a 30-year history of trying to control growth, I don’t know why anybody thought we were suddenly going to no longer care about open space requirements or start creating developments where there were none before.” 20

350/30 CELEBRATION PRESENTS:

Buried in history BY IVA ROBERTS WELTON AND PAMELA MARTIN OVENS, HERITAGE LIBRARY FOUNDATION

Editor’s Note: In celebration of the 350th anniversary of the sighting of Hilton Head Island, and the 30th anniversary of the founding of the Town of Hilton Head Island, a group of volunteers are organizing a 350/30 year anniversary blowout to commemorate both events with a town open house Sept. 30 and a beach party Oct. 5. Monthly proudly presents the following, the second in a series of historical articles leading up to the event.

fter crossing the bridge to Hilton Head Island, you will find yourself on Jenkins Island. It extends to mile marker 1, where Hilton Head Island actually begins. Located in what is the “tongue of the shoe” that is Hilton Head is a separate island, home to Jenkins Island Cemetery. This native islander cemetery is tucked away down a littleused road. Mount Calvary Missionary Baptist Church maintains this cemetery as well as Talbird Cemetery, located in Hilton Head Plantation by Skull Creek Marina, and Elliott Cemetery, also in Hilton Head Plantation, in Dolphin Head Park. Jenkins Island Cemetery has at least 40 graves. Although there was a Plantation House and according to the 1800 census, 100 slaves lived and worked on the property, as yet, there is no evidence of any of them being buried in this cemetery. The cemetery is on Skull Creek, because spiritual beliefs also led native islanders to bury their deceased close to the water. Named Hogg Island in 1733 and later John’s Island, on the 1783 Mosse Survey, it is Talbird Island, while the 1873 Navy Map marked it

Pope’s Island. The 315 acre plantation, between Skull and Crooked Creek, was owned by Issac Rippon Jenkins and still bears his name. The recent history of the island began in the 1930s when Thorne and Loomis owned the island. The Hack family, who owned the Hilton Head Company, purchased the land from them and sold the land to Windmill Harbour Company which began development in 1981, said JR Richardson, President of the company. Richardson sold the Skull Creek side of the island to the Town of Hilton Head Island in 1986. There are over a dozen native islander cemeteries on Hilton Head Island revealing the rich history of the Lowcountry.

Goodbye, farewell and amen editor’s note / barry@hiltonheadmonthly.com

invoking the Insanity clause Of the 78 issues in which I’ve served as assistant, associate, managing, or just plain editor, none of them can match the pride I felt in appearing on the cover in full Santa regalia in our Dec. 2005 edition. I played Santa again two years later on our cover, but not on a beach in 70 degree weather.

arrived in the Lowcountry a broke college graduate with a used Saturn, a dog, a few hundred bucks, and a handful of writing clips (most of them for this very magazine) to my name. My reasons for coming here were probably the same as yours: I’m from Ohio. It was intimidating at first, cracking this nut. I took a job answering phone calls for a pool company while freelance writing gigs (all of them for Monthly) let me pursue the illusion that I was a writer. Even when a full-time job opened up at Monthly as an assistant editor, the island’s impenetrable inner shell held firm. I remember judging WingFest that first year, and struggling to find something to say to then-Mayor Tom Peeples and then-Carolina Morning News Editor Kyle Poplin. After all, who the hell was I? They were movers and shakers around here. I was a few years removed from answering angry phone calls about pool skimmers. My brother, who had long been a fixture around here, helpfully nudged me and said, “say something, dammit.” I didn’t. Years later, though, I’d share a few drinks and a lot of laughs with Tom and his lovely wife over some ribs and chili, and afterward he’d always have a smile for me when we’d meet. And in the few months I would eventually work for him at Bluffton Today, Kyle would become someone I considered a mentor.

I can’t really pinpoint a moment where I felt like I belonged here. But it came. And this place became my home, the people I see every day became my family. It may be something our visitors haven’t put much thought into, but this is a very small town. You see the same people out on the town at night as you saw in meetings during the day. I was blessed that I genuinely liked almost all of those people immensely. Which makes what comes next so hard. I’m leaving here sometime this month for a new opportunity in New York. It’s something I do for myself and for my family, but it’s not something I do out of any lack of love for the little slice of the South that has been so good to me these 11 years. This probably shouldn’t affect you too much, unless we’re friends (and I hope we are, in your estimation). Monthly will continue to set the standard for local media, under the steady hand of Lance Hanlin. Right at this very moment, some kid is driving a beat-up Saturn down from Ohio hoping to land a magazine job. The world keeps on turning. Those godawful flyovers will still be built. The people around the airport will still continue fighting the good fight. Native islanders will still continue to be tragically underrepresented in our local conversation. Bess’ will still continue to make the

cloudy special, a sandwich that tastes like what an angel’s laughter sounds like. But before this island continues to turn without me, I want to thank some people. Everyone here at Monthly (both this time and last time) for letting me be a part of the festivities, especially Jeremy and Charles in the art department for all the late night chicanery, and to my boss and dear friend Lori who took a huge gamble on some kid from Ohio. I also need to thank all the writers who make this magazine amazing, especially the former editors with whom I could commiserate, and everyone at the old Bluffton Today and The Boot and The Jet Stream who gave me three whirlwind years. I’d also like to thank my brother, Rob, without whom none of this would have happened. Of all the professionals I’ve worked with here, he’s the only one who ever shot me in the leg with a BB gun. Not for nothing, he also taught me how to read. Many of you who know him may have just realized we’re brothers. We get that a lot. And lastly, at the risk of pandering, I’d like to thank you, the community. Getting out and meeting you, or as many of you as I could, has made this whole adventure what it is. You live in a very special place, and don’t you ever forget it. It’s been the ride of a lifetime, but it’s time for me to get off. You stay on and have fun.

The Ties that Bind Part 1

BY BARRY KAUFMAN PHOTOS BY ARNO DIMMLING

Mothers may fight with daughters. Daughters may spend their formative years embarrassed by their moms. But the bond they share through it all, from the playroom to the boardroom, is a unique kind of love. It’s the mentoring guidance of a trusted advisor. It’s the support structure of a close sisterhood. It’s the invaluable bond of a best friend. And if you take that sort of relationship into a business, as you’re about to see, it makes for one happy family. May 2013

A DAY AT THE OFFICE | business

It’s barely daybreak when the first parents start filing into Amazing Creations Early Childhood Education Center. Eyes bleary and breath thick with coffee, they wrangle children who have been going strong since 6 a.m. and negotiate car seats, boosters and baby carriers as they deliver their charges to another day of learning. And while the parents are barely awake, the kids are wide eyed with excitement. It’s hard not to be excited, when the day ahead could include anything from crafts and puzzles to visits from firefighters and police officers. This atmosphere of fun exploration and learning was created by two women, Marsha Davis and Cathy Ferguson. They’ve been business partners since 1998, but their relationship began much earlier, before Cathy was born. Because these two, like a surprising number of area entrepreneurs, are mother and daughter. “I’m her right-hand person and she’s mine,” Davis said. “We just make a total package.” “She’s so supportive,” Ferguson added. “I can count on her always.” The pair’s lifelong bond works for them as the emotional core of Amazing Creations, an adventure they’ve shared through new locations, extended growth and a slew of accolades along the way including several Hilton Head Monthly Readers’ Choice Awards. Even before that, they worked together at the family air conditioning business. There is such a comfort and familiarity between the two that if you ask about any hesitations they might have had about mingling family and business you’ll get an answer of “none” in stereo. In fact, the only time their relationship as mother and daughter works against them is when they try to vacation together. “We went on vacation last month, and that was the first time in 15 years we’d ever taken a vacation together,” Ferguson said. And while family dynamics are like snowflakes, no two being alike, there seems to be a common thread that binds mother and daughter that just seems to work in a business relationship. “Psychologically, remember that women seek fairness while men seek the win,” said Debi Lynes, a licensed therapist with a PhD in psychology. “So in many ways it makes sense that the girls pull it together so that everyone feels treated with fairness. Thus, happy business partners.” It makes sense, especially when you sit down with some of the amazing mother/daughter teams that populate the Lowcountry. May 2013

Cut to later in the day, a table right up front at Red Fish as the lunch rush begins. Lottie Woodward and her daughter, Courtney Woodward May, are attempting to illustrate how their connection as mother and daughter fuels their partnership at the Woodward Davis Team. We say attempting, because every few minutes another old friend walks by, another trusted client, another neighbor for whom everything must stop while warm greetings and hugs are exchanged. This rich social network is a side effect of the job, the lunchtime routine of more than 30 years in local real estate. “I promise not to talk to anyone else,” said Woodward after one meetand-greet, before returning to her point, which was, ironically, her love of people. “That’s the thing about Hilton Head. It’s a relationship business.” Woodward should know, having sold real estate on the island since the late ‘70s while meeting pretty much everyone who calls Hilton Head home. “It helps when you’re selling a house if you’ve already sold that same house four or five times,” she said, her deadpan sense of humor sparkling. “Those houses she sold four times? I was the kid sitting out in the car waiting for her to get those contracts,” May said with a grin and her own

FAMILY TIES | business

deadpan style. May grew up in the world of real estate, helping her mom stage houses, learning what flowers work best by the front door, and seeing first-hand what it takes to make that sale. It’s a lifetime of experience at the apron strings of a real estate juggernaut that she’s bringing to bear as her mother introduces her to the family business. But there’s one thing that can’t be taught, and that’s personality. And if you’ve met Woodward, you know she has personality to spare. Her daughter is no different. “She’s been saying for years she either needed a wife or she needed to clone herself,” May said. “So I’m a little bit clone, a little bit wife.” “I came here as a single parent in 1979, and all my competitors had wives. They’d come in to order drapes for the office, or whatever was needed, and I never had that. I said if I couldn’t get a wife, I’d get my daughter. Since I’m not marriage material.” The self-deprecating humor draws another round of laughter. Theirs is an easygoing bond, born of having such similar personalities. But has it ever worked against them? “Not yet,” they both said in unison. And the laughter resumed.

FAMILY TIES | business

Sometimes the personalities of a mother and a daughter mesh so well that they complement each other perfectly. Sometimes so much so it can be hard to tell them apart. But what about when their personalities are so close that, as tends to happen sometimes with parents, conflict ensues? Can that too-close-for-comfort dynamic work in a business setting? If you were to sit down with mother and daughter team Barbara Blackburn and Brittney Sell, you’d know that it can. For the last 18 months, the pair has been working together in the business that Blackburn founded 25 years ago, Compu-Pays Payroll Services. And while the smiles and laughter flow easily in the small office they share in Windmill Harbour, it wasn’t always like this. “As close as we were, we used to have a volatile relationship,” Sell explained. “She was the mother, I was the daughter. If I stepped out of line, she’d throw me back in line… And when we started working together, the personality clashes that we thought would work against us actually helped us work together.” A volatile relationship can add pressure to a business. However, combine the stressors of a small workplace, constant deadlines, and a newborn (Sell’s first-born daughter, who came to work with her until 18 months “She wasn’t very good at filing so we had to let her go,” Blackburn joked) and you have a unique kind of pressure — one that makes exquisite diamonds. “There’s no one else I would trust more,” Blackburn said, exchanging a smile with her daughter. Today, the two realize that the differences that may have made for a tumultuous few years now create a situation where one is the yin to the other’s yang. “It helps us both,” Sell said. “If you have frustrations at work, a lot of times you can’t go to your boss about it, because you don’t want to seem like you’re complaining. But if one of us is about to blow their top, we really calm each other down.” In addition to a cool rapport, the pair have also found a new respect for one another. Blackburn started the company in 1987 while working for Hilton Head Hospital. Over time, the client base for her side business grew to the point where she could do it full time in 1997. “I just stepped out there and thought, ‘What’s the worst that can happen?’ At the time, it seemed so insurmountable,” she said. “She went out and beat the pavement,” Sell said. “I could never do that. I came in here thinking I was a hotshot because I’d been a payroll manager elsewhere at large companies and thought I knew everything. Then I get here and my jaw drops seeing her take care of situations she’s presented with.” And while they still find time to spar, it’s done with love and respect. “She’s definitely a great mentor,” Sell said.

FAMILY TIES | business

Sometimes, the worlds of business and family intersect in some profound ways. The world doesn’t always go according to plan. Tragedy strikes. And when it does, there’s no one who can help carry you through it like your children. Charlene Riikonen formed Cera Products in Maryland in 1993 with an idea for a new kind of drink, that would take hydration to the next level. Working with doctors from Johns Hopkins and the Mayo Clinic, Riikonen was able to refine her original formulation for a rice-based hydration product until it had been perfected, patented and ready to ship. Now, the company is a global force, with specialized thirst-quenching hydration products aimed squarely at athletes, our troops and law enforcement. Riikonen, along with her husband Esko, took the brand to astonishing new heights, establishing part-time headquarters in Hilton Head while maintaining ties to Maryland. In 2008 Riikonen’s daughter, Jennifer Rapp, came aboard and utilized her medical background and natural athletic inclination to boost sales. “I was a stay-at-home mom, with a degree in health science, and I’d worked for several health care companies,” Rapp explained. “I’d been involved in sales and was very successful at it.” Rapp was learning the ropes handily, crisscrossing the country solo and with her mom, when her worth as a daughter-slash-employee became critical. Esko was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer. At their most optimistic, the doctors would only give him 10 months to live. “Without Jenn around, it would have been even more devastating,” Riikonen said. “It was really critical, not only as emotional support for me, but also to keep the business running.” In the face of that kind of loss and sadness, Rapp held down the fort while Riikonen traveled back and forth to Charleston for Esko’s treatments. This past September, after 18 months of fighting, Esko passed away. The scars are still fresh, but the confidence these two have in one another and what they do refuses to falter. To hear them talk, they sound like nothing less than the perfect partners. Rapp, the laid-back rudder to Riikonen’s vivacious Type A personality. Riikonen, the coach to Rapp’s tenacious ability as a salesperson. It’s the best of both family and business, and the next generation is already getting involved. “We just sponsored the Palmetto Bluff Half Marathon,” Rapp said. “And my four kids were all decked out in Cera Sport gear… they do flavor testing, too. They’re into it. They tell people at school about it. And they know Granny’s the boss.” “It’s nice to have everyone together,” Riikonen added. And as to the flipside of the mother-daughter dynamic, the one that can lead to the occasional butting of heads? These two have a way to manage that as well. “The best thing is to have Jen make her case. It’s yes or no,” said Riikonen, adding with a smile, “But I’m the majority shareholder.” Rapp returns the smile, adding, “She always tells me to write a report.” “Yeah, but that’s part of management,” returned Riikonen.

FAQonQE3? What’s the

QE, or quantitative eas ing, is the controversial monetary policy that some have credited for helping us survive the economic meltdown. Others, however, blame QE for running up our debt to unsustainable levels and making damaging inflation a near certainty. It has been stopped and restarted a number of times, has been subjected to much debate within both the Fed and in Congress, and is now in its third (some say fourth) iteration. Here is a brief primer on this much debated strategy.

What is QE? Quantitative easing is a policy of economic stimulus that is implemented when the Federal Reserve buys U.S. Government bonds from its member banks. This removes the bonds from the bank’s balance sheets, and provides them cash to lend and support the economy.

Did this start the crisis of 2008? No, the Fed has always used this strategy (albeit in a much smaller fashion) to make adjustments to the money supply. The policy took on a new dimension in 2007 as the financial crisis loomed, and the traditional tools of the Fed, the discount rate and the Fed funds rate, were at near zero, and no longer effective.

Where does the Fed get money to buy these? The Fed creates reserve credits in the member bank’s accounts when 40

they purchase the bonds. You’ve heard people say that the Federal government can print money? Well, this is how it’s done.

In what ways does this benefit the economy? If banks keep reserves of 10 percent when they lend, each $10 million in credits will enable the bank to make loans of $100 million. This provides money to businesses, consumers, and homebuyers, stimulating demand. Also, the increase in money supply tends to keep the dollar lower against other currencies, making our exports more competitive in global markets, and our stock markets more attractive to foreign investors.

How has the policy been implemented? QE1, in November 2008, was a direct response to the housing bubble deflating and the ensuing financial collapse. The Fed began purchase of $700 billion of mortgage backed securities (MBS) and other bonds, paused briefly, and restarted in March 2009 as equity markets fell to new lows, buying an additional $750 billion more in MBS, $100 billion in debt from Fannie May and Freddie Mac, and $300 billion in Treasuries. It was considered critical to move mortgage-backed securities, many of which had implicit government backing and were now nearly worthless, off the balance sheets of major banks and onto the balance sheet of the Fed, to nurse the banking sector back from near collapse. QE1 ended in June 2010.

money report | business

What about QE2 and QE3? While new funds flowed into banks and onto their balance sheets, they remained reluctant or unable to lend. Credit standards had been tightened, businesses were unwilling to borrow to expand, and consumers had not yet regained confidence. To prevent the economy from losing ground, the Fed announced a new round of easing, QE2, between November 2010 and June 2011, buying an additional $700 billion in Treasury notes and bonds. The third round of quantitative easing, QE3, began in September 2012, as Congress was paralyzed by the coming elections, unable to compromise on taxes or spending, and facing a â&#x20AC;&#x153;fiscal cliffâ&#x20AC;? with uncertain economic implications. The Fed instituted purchase of another $85

billion in mortgage-backed securities; for the first time, though, the Fed announced some specific targets to end the QE program of monetary stimulus begun in 2007. In addition to its previously announced 2 percent inflation target, the Fed made it known it would use an unemployment rate of 6.5 percent as a benchmark to dial down the easing.

Have events since 2007 changed the role of the Federal ReservE? Some would say yes. The traditional role of the Fed since the great Depression has been to prevent uncontrolled inflation, monitor the money supply, and provide a safety net of last resort in an economic crisis. Chairman Bernanke has certainly accomplished these objectives. However, by linking the end of QE3

to specific employment goals, the Fed seems to have taken a more proactive role than ever before in promoting economic recovery through employment.

What are the risks? Some would say that the damage has been done already, that too much money has flooded the economy and will inevitably lead to inflation, even hyper-inflation. Should employment and wages begin to accelerate beyond the capacity of the economy to produce goods and services, this could become a reality. On the other hand, if the Fed ends its program too soon, the fragile recovery could stumble, asset prices, especially real estate, could begin to fall again, and layoffs and unemployment could begin to climb. In this scenario, it would be difficult, near

impossible to restart another round of stimulus. The Fed is involved in a precarious balancing act with no clear roadmap, and markets remain divided. Still, we have covered much challenging ground since 2008. We may soon find out whether the side effects of the medicine that made us better turn the economy in a different and unexpected way.

a day at the office | business

There’s nothing distinguished about the exterior of BFG Communications in Bluffton. It looks like any other warehouse district office space, with a pair of low rise metal-sided structures surrounded by a packed parking lot. Step inside, however, and it feels like entering a hipster’s dream world, where the workaday fuses with the dimly lighted anti-establishment vibe of an underground nightclub. A video wall beams over the front desk which sits on unfinished concrete flanked by street-themed art (OK, graffiti) spray-painted on block walls. CEO Kevin Meany, who founded the multi-purpose media firm 17-years ago out of his living room, is clad in basic black as he guides an intrigued visitor into an office where a Flaming Lips rock poster hangs alongside a signed kick drum head from the Black Keys and memorabilia presented t

by friend and long-time running mate Ringo Starr. Just what goes on around here, anyway? Meany smiles and explains. Turns out this is the national headquarters for a firm with 20-plus offices across the country that’s dedicated to giving corporate clients – Coca-Cola and Whirlpool among them – a fresh approach to moving more product. “What we do is give them integrated marketing, communication and strategic digital development,” says Meany. “In the old days, television, print, and web sites were treated as separate entities. The conglomerates that own media companies and do billions of dollars in business couldn’t get it right, because their departments all had separate goals. We’re deep generalists here, and that helps make things easier.” Current contracts include a multi-million dollar mission

walls allow for instant inspiration. Dogs roam freely and lighting stays dim to enhance computer screen resolution for a cadre of copywriters and digital and software engineers. It’s hardly a punch-the-clock environment – one employee is still in pajamas after working an all-nighter on a web launch – and Meany strives to keep the job site interesting. Food trucks sometimes show up unannounced with free vittles and he confirms reports of cooler races in the parking lot plus the occasional afternoon beach or golf breaks when the weather’s right. “We all spend a lot of time here, and the culture is one of discovery

and making sure we’re thinking a bit differently about things,” he says. “It’s all about creativity and doing everything we can to make the environment more fun and stimulating.” Only problem today is finding more space for 160 fulltimers who are already using up every inch of the complex’s 26,000-square-feet as BFG expands. Meany is seeking added space in Savannah and considering construction of a brand new building in Bluffton. But he’s wary about both options. “I don’t want to lose what we’ve created here. There’s kind of an organic yet campy feel that makes this place special.” M

Chuck Copley the wild blue yonder

here’s a date somewhere down the road. Maybe for you it’s years away. Maybe it’s tomorrow. It’s the day that you will wake up, breathe deep, and have absolutely nothing to do that day. There will be no deadlines, no meetings, no projects, no emails requiring your urgent attention. The crush of traffic on the way to the office will flow on without you. The crisis will strike at work and it will be someone else’s problem. The hissing white noise of your 9-to-5, which has come to define your life for entirely too long, will abruptly stop. And on that day, you will immediately find yourself bored. Sitting still is for oil paintings. Not for a dynamic, energetic spirit such as yourself. But what is there to do? Simply put, everything. There is a world full of passions, pursuits and adventures just waiting to be discovered. And with that 9-to5 out of your way, it looks your schedule is wide open. This is your time. The time where you draw a line under the person you were yesterday and begin defining who you will be tomorrow. You are no longer what you used to do for a living. You’re something better. But what will that something be? For inspiration, here are a few locals who turned retirement into redefinition.

Hilton Head airport once stood. His direct gaze and firm handshake belied a lifetime spent in business, but the way his gaze would flit over to his iPad whenever the crackle of radio tower traffic would erupt forth showed that this man’s first passion was flying. “My poor wife, who I married in 1971. Mary. Has been listening to this obsession of mine since she’s known me,” he said. “She’s probably tired of it, but tolerates it because it’s always been one of my two loves; her and flying. It’s hard to shake.” Which is what brings us to a man, an airport, and an iPad. Baseball fans know the stance well from the old days: the devotee sits forward on his seat, eyes mere slits of concentration, head cocked, ear perked waiting for the next detail to come from a transistor radio. But in this modern world, the transistor radio has been replaced by an iPad, and for Chuck Copley, America’s pastime is nothing next to aviation. Especially when a burst of indecipherable pilot jargon issues forth on a cloudy day. “He missed his approach. You’ll 52

hear it in a minute,” he said with an almost giddy smile. Sure enough, moments later the building shook with the tremor of nearby jet engines straining to pull out of a landing. “Now he’ll have to call it in,” Copley continued, sounding like he was listening to Game 7 of the World Series. Indeed, the iPad shortly confirms: Three-eight-niner with a miss. “Call Savannah on 125.3,” Copley said, reciting the play-by-play. However, instead of directing the errant pilot to the larger Savannah airport, the towers broadcasted, “Three-eight-niner, say your intentions.” Copley smiled at this point, mimicking the pilot 500 feet above him, “’Hmmm… what are my intentions?’ He’s talking to the passengers right now. Do you want to stay and try again or go to Savannah? I’ve been there, done that.” In fact, as far as aviation goes, Copley has been there done that for most situations. His father, a pilot for Pan Am in the golden days of commercial aviation, instilled in Copley a love of flying that brought him into a career

in the air. As a charter pilot, he spent years as the pilot for counter-culture icons The Band, plus took on a few flights shuttling around the likes of Jackie O. and heads of state. For a kid raised with his head in the air, it was a dream come true. Then, he was brought back down to earth. “The company I worked for closed, so I had to get a job,” he deadpanned. “So I went into clothing.” Fifteen years at Izod and Lacoste followed, a decade and a half in which Copley successfully transitioned to a much different, not to mention slightly less elevated, field. His expertise in the industry grew to the point that he eventually went out on his own, starting clothing lines in his own name, plus operating lines by Jeff Rose and Sunice. And while the business was clothing, his fringe benefits included the ability to crisscross the country by air as he visited clients. So in his case, retirement was bittersweet. Copley sold his company in 2005, and quickly found that without an excuse to go up, he had joined the ranks of the “airport bums.”

“I was just wandering around being an airport bum when I ran into (Carolina Air Center president) Ed Grisham, who told me to get Cirrus certified,” Copley said. “So I could start teaching other pilots.” Certification soon followed, and before long Copley had started up his own flight school operating out of Hilton Head Island Airport. Today, as head of Hilton Head Flight Training, Copley gets to go up two to three times a day (“Except in weather like this.”) and continue his passion for flying. And while he doesn’t make any money off this venture, noting that he makes as much at Hilton Head Flight Training in a year as he did in a day in the apparel business, he’s only in it for two things. The first is his love of flying, honed in thousands of hours behind the yoke. The second is one he didn’t discover until opening his school. “When you see somebody’s lightbulb go off who hasn’t ever been in a three-dimensional world, and all of the sudden the brain adapts and all the dots connect and SNAP they know, there’s a reward you get. That’s a reward unto itself.”

the endless summer

“I

should tell you before we start, it’s pretty much been an 18-year party for me down here,” said the soft-spoken maraca-and-bongo rock God known as Joe G. “I mean, we can still have lunch. But that just about covers it.”

We chose to still have lunch. After all, interviewer had not experienced the new Captain Woody’s, and interviewee had a few stories of gigs past at the old Rider’s Lounge (none of which are suitable for print). His stories, we can share, revolve around his role as the

“I don’t know about a rock star, But I have a lot of fun trying to be one” island’s preeminent musical hypeman, getting crowds on their feet as a member of White Liquor, and as part-time member of The Beagles. Not bad for a guy who came down here from New York intending to spend his retirement relaxing. “I was coming down 278, and it was the most beautiful thing: The trees, the water, I thought this would be a great place to retire,” he said through a central-casting Long Island accent. “I figured I’d do a little fishing, play a little golf... it

didn’t work out that way.” Instead, Joe (we’re sure the G stands for something, but we’d rather maintain the mystique than ask him) found himself immersed in the local nightlife. Within weeks he was tending bar at the Tee Time Lounge, getting into more antics that border on unprintable. (“You don’t want to hear about skinny dipping and stuff, do you?” he asked us. We did.) Between his endless energy and lust for life, he was soon a fixture on the island’s nightlife scene. So it made sense when the island’s premiere Rolling Stones cover band, White Liquor, asked him up on stage. “They asked me to sit up there and hit the congas. At first I said no because I thought I’d be very nervous,” Joe recalled. “But as soon as I got up on stage it’s like it was meant for me.” He was named a full-fledged member of the band, his musical repertoire expanded to the maracas, and the legend of Joe G began to grow. He and a hard-partying group of cohorts soon started taking a series of epic vacations together, including Daytona, Fla., Mexico, Majorca, Costa Rica, and Orlando, the last of which earned Joe a nice souvenir. “The first thing I did was get a tattoo and after that we went up bungee jumping,” he said as

he rolled up his sleeve. There on his bicep was a gently curling American flag with “Joe G” in script across the stripes. It’s a far cry from his life pre-retirement, where a career with the clothing company Hart Schaffner Marx lent itself to very few conga solos. But if he seems like Joe G has opened up the throttle on life postretirement, he’s only following doctor’s orders. “Everybody asks me why I drink so much scotch,” Joe said. “What happened was, I went out on a trip with a doctor. We were talking and got on the subject of recreation. He asked ‘what do you like,’ I said I like scotch and water. The doctor said, ‘drink all you want. It will never hurt you.’ So I figured I’d take him up on that.” Of course, in deference to his health, this resident of The Seabrook drank water during our interview, went bunless on his grouper sandwich and ordered a side of vegetables (“I want to just lose the gut a little bit,” he explained). And if you’re concerned about his doctor’s advice, don’t be. Joe’s as healthy as a man half his age, and living the rock star life some of us can only dream of. “I don’t know about a rock star,” he said with a deep laugh. “But I have a lot of fun trying to be one.” May 2013

Jack Gannon & Cyndi Barnier we kill people

hen Jack Gannon and Cyndi Barnier met after decades apart, they knew it was only a matter of time before they started killing people together, in as many horrifying ways as the human imagination allows for. “Of course, the greatest paradox of all this is that we’re both lay ministers,” Gannon noted. “Cyndi at St. Paul’s in Ridgeland, and I’m St. Peter’s Catholic Church in Beaufort.” “And we kill people,” added Barnier, matter-of-fact as you please. We should add at this point for the sake of libel laws that the pair was speaking fictitiously. They do kill people, true. But they also created them, in a cooperative postretirement creative venture that has resulted in one novel, four short stories and a screenplay. The pair’s first novel together, “Murder in Twos and Threes: A Task Force novel,” racks up a ponderous body count as it pits the

titular task force against a serial killer whose methods are both gruesome and clever. It’s the middle of a journey that started when they were both students at Beaufort High School. “We had talked about writing stories together,” Gannon said. “And we would do poetry and short stories as part of classwork. And back then we used to say when we got out of high school, let’s write some books together.” As close as the friendship was, the end of high school proved to be the end of this literary duo. They parted ways, and embarked on very different, but occasionally intertwining, career paths. Gannon went on to USCB and Winthrop University before returning to Beaufort to work in the circulation department at the Beaufort Gazette. Barnier, meanwhile, continued on her family legacy of law enforcement.

retirement | monthly Her father having been a chief deputy in Beaufort, Barnier followed suit starting in probation, parole and pardons. The pair drifted apart, never seeing each other (although they wager a few chance encounters must have happened, as Barnier’s job took her in and out of the Gazette offices on a regular basis). The decades rolled on until retirement, Gannon from the Gazette’s new Bluffton location, and Barnier from a job in emergency management. The pair still had not seen each other since high school. Then one day, a chance posting from mutual Facebook friend Mark Robertson (of 98.7 the River fame) led Gannon and Barnier back into one another’s orbit. “She found me when I responded to something Mark posted online, and she poked me saying, ‘Are you the same Jack Gannon from high school?’” Gannon said.

Now reunited, the former classmates found themselves picking up right where they had left off. “It was the same old Jack, same old Cyndi,” Barnier said. It wasn’t long before the burning question came out: Whatever happened to that book we were going to write? The answer came with “Murder in Twos and Threes,” a novel that the pair wrote through a unique cooperative style wherein each would write a portion then the other would add their own flair to it. Since neither one had ever written a book before, retirement allowed them the opportunity to learn all sorts of new skill sets. In creating this novel and getting it out in the world, the pair learned proper research techniques (for historical accuracy, they looked into weather conditions for the exact date and time and setting of their book),

publishing (the book has prominent placement at local booksellers, and they’ve been promoting it at signings and live events), and social networking (the book and short stories have their own Facebook page) to consider, plus writing for film (as part of the Beaufort Film Festival, they adapted the book into a screenplay in just four weeks). Now, the pair share an office in Beaufort with Scooter, their resident cat, where they continue killing people through a series of short stories available for the Kindle, including “An Explosive Date,” “Buenos Aires Encounter,” “Tale of the Talon,” and “Mother’s Coffin.” A second-full length novel is on the way. These two were able to turn their retirement into an entirely different pursuit, plus pick up a few new skills along the way, but what if they hadn’t? What if they had never reconnected via Facebook?

“I have a rose garden that I’m continually trying to make grow,” Gannnon said with a laugh. “And I have a dog that loves to be sat with in a chair all day long.” “And I’m not content to sit still,” Barnier said. “I’m constantly doing something.” Both listed volunteer work at several different organizations as ways they pass the time, but as rewarding as that is, it’s nowhere near as much fun as getting together with an old friend and figuring out how to kill a few people. As to those getting ready to retire, they offer some killer advice: “Starting out, just take some time to rest,” Gannon said. “After a career, your mind is totally conditioned to getting up, going through that morning routine, and driving to work to the same job... Then one day you’ll sit back in your chair and say I’m ready to do something.” M

Let your wedding day bloom with some botanical beauty.

hoosing your wed ding flowers is much more involved than choosing a bridal bouquet and table centerpieces. Wedding flow ers, decor and design have evolved, and florists are more involved in the planning and overall style of the wedding than ever before. “We are not a flower shop, but a floral design studio,” said Dawn Kiritsy, owner of A Floral Affair on Hilton Head Island. “From the initial consultation, we take the bride through the overall design of the wedding. Even the style of her dress sets the tone for where we begin our design, and we can create a sketch so she can envision the look of her flowers.” Before you meet with the florist for the first time, start collecting pictures of the style and colors of your wedding. We’ve talked it up before, but it bears repeating that Pinterest is the best source for gathering all your ideas together in one easily accessible place. You can create a wedding floral board and, if you are a destination bride, you can share your board with your out-oftown florist. “Pinterest has been the best thing since sliced bread! Brides now can see a clearer

picture of what they have in mind,” said Nancy Heird, owner of Gardenias. “Most brides have a hard time envisioning what can be done with food table displays, centerpieces and more. Now they can take their time and order with more confidence.” The florist should help you think outside the box and add special touches to your particular design style. Your floral designer may recommend complementary linens to tie your wedding decor together, as well as suggest the type of flower that will work within your budget and style. The cost of the flowers depend on the season, region and type of flowers selected. One big X factor in the cost of your arrangements will be the containers in which they are displayed. Standard clear floral vases are being replaced with other floral containers such as birch pots, mercury glass, reclaimed wood, mason jars, galvanized tubs and even mint julep cups. If you are thinking of purchasing a specific style of container for your flowers, ask your florist for assistance first. You may not have a need for all of the containers when your wedding is over. It is important to know your budget prior to your initial meeting. This category can be a lavish expense if you don’t know your limits ahead of time.

in which flowers add an elegant pop to your wedding, and you need to plan for that. If you have a flat surface, whether it’s a table for dining, for the cake, for the guest book or for guests, you’ll need to pretty it up. Likewise, a few petals scattered around the ceremony site or around the pews can add a storybook touch to your big day, and let’s not forget honorary corsages for mothers and grandmothers. “Some brides need a little extra help in being led through the planning process, and some know exactly the flowers they want at their wedding,” Kiritsy noted. “Either way, it is the florist’s job to establish trust with the bride and groom, so they know their visions will be executed and all the design elements will be brought together.” Whether your wedding style is chic, vintage, romantic, or southern, your florist will help you make sure all the blooms are in perfect harmony.

McDowell used a relaxed approach to survive a windy final round and win the 2013 RBC Heritage. BY LANCE HANLIN

HORTLY AFTER WINNING THE 2013 RBC HERITAGE, GRAEME MCDOWELL POURED A COLD ONE INTO A PLASTIC CUP AND PICKED UP HIS CELL PHONE. HE DIALED NONA BLUE, A RESTAURANT HE OPENED EARLIER THIS YEAR IN ORLANDO. “The bar is open,” McDowell said. This win was worth celebrating. Heading into the Heritage, McDowell had plenty of big moments on his professional golf resume. He won the 2010 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach, ending a 40-year drought for Europeans at the tournament. Later that year, he captured the winning point for Europe in the Ryder Cup matches. He also had won six tournaments on the European Tour. Before the Heritage, what McDowell lacked was a statement win at a respected PGA Tour event. “This game kicks you more often than it gives you a pat on the back,” McDowell said. “It’s hard to win.” After defeating Webb Simpson on the first hole of a playoff, he got the signature win he was looking for and a pat on the back from RBC CEO Gord Nixon. “We’re absolutely delighted to crown this year’s champion,” Nixon said. “Not only is he a wonderful golfer and a wonderful individual, he’s also a member of Team RBC. It’s a double honor.” McDowell trailed by four shots at the start of the final round but rallied with a 2-under-par 69 to finish at 9-under 275. Simpson, who won last year’s U.S. Open, shot a 71 in the final round to tie McDowell on top of the leaderboard at 275. McDowell struck his approach on the extra hole about 15 feet away and two-putted for par. Simpson missed a 10-foot putt for par, giving McDowell the $1,044,000 prize for winning the tournament. McDowell is the Heritage’s 10th international event winner and the tournament’s first winner from Ireland. The tartan jacket was presented by Jack Jones, vice president and general manager of Boeing South Carolina. “How does it look?” McDowell asked the crowd on the 18th green. “What do they say … get your plaid on? There you go. … I’ve always thought this was my kind of golf course. I guess it was.” With its narrow, tree-lined fairways and small greens, many PGA Tour players consider Harbour Town Golf Links one of the more difficult courses on the tour. Conditions in the final round made it especially tough. 62

Winds were blowing a steady 20 miles per hour with sudden gusts up to 40 mph. For McDowell, the breezy conditions were favorable. “I guess the weather was kind of what the doctor ordered for me today,” he said. “I needed an opportunity to get close to these leaders. I’m not saying that I didn’t have any God-given advantage in the wind, but I needed the golf course to play difficult. If it had been benign like (the third round), four shots back, one of the two (leaders) goes and shoots 4 or 5 under par and it’s kind of all over. I needed the course to play tough today and I got that.” McDowell’s 69 was one of only three scores in the 60s from the 70 players who teed off on the final day. Simpson had a chance to win the tournament in regulation but missed a 22-footer for birdie to force the playoff with McDowell. “The highest gusts somebody told me was 42 miles an hour,” Simpson said. “That’s borderline to having to call play. My ball moved only a few times. It was tough. Guessing the wind is the hardest thing, as well as putting. Putting is so hard because you’ve got to play break, grain and wind.”

Charley Hoffman entered the final round with a two-stroke lead but struggled down the stretch. A double bogey on hole 14 was followed by bogeys on 17 and 18. He ended with a 77 and tied for sixth. “I actually hit the ball alright today, I just didn’t make the putts like I needed to,” Hoffman said. “I really was in the tournament the whole time. I hit a bad shot on 14 and it sort of went south from there.” Kevin Streelman and Luke Donald tied for third place. Donald was the buzz of the final round early on, taking the lead after four birdies on the front nine. Three bogeys on the back nine allowed McDowell and Simpson to leap frog him. “It was extremely difficult – the strongest wind I’ve played in all year,” Donald said. “The back nine played especially tougher than the front.” McDowell treated the Heritage like a vacation, renting a beach house in Sea Pines Resort for the week. He invited several friends to enjoy the week with him and his fiancée. “We have just been kind of hanging out every

night,” McDowell said. “After the intensity of (the Masters) and the preparation that goes into an event like that, this week was really about coming here for a low-key work week. I came here, I did my work and I went home. There was very little grinding going on. I took a relaxed approach this week and really tried to enjoy myself — have a glass of wine or two in the evening and enjoying some great food with some good friends and fam-

It’s amazing kind of how things happen.” McDowell missed the cut at the Masters by one stroke the week before. In his opinion, all things happen for a reason. “If I made the cut last week and grind a 30th or 40th position out, do I sit here with this beautiful jacket on?” he asked. “I wouldn’t swap the way it’s happened. I wouldn’t swap this win for a top 10 (at the Masters).” McDowell followed up his Heritage win with a trip to the Bahamas. He plans to rejoin the tournament in early May and will bring a renewed energy with him. “This is probably one of the more special (wins) in my career because it feels right,” McDowell said. “It’s my first real win on this side of the pond as a PGA Tour player. I feel this is a building block for something good this year and beyond.” G

After years of ‘Staying the Course,’ Patrick Ford finally sees a bright future at Bloody Point

PHOTO BY RUSSELL GREENE

ATRICK FORD’S ADMIRABLE AND ABSURD QUEST TO SAVE BLOODY POINT GOLF COURSE WAS DOCUMENTED BY ESPN’S OUTSIDE THE LINES TWO YEARS AGO. The financial meltdowns, the voodoo curses, the never-ending fight against nature — all the gritty details of his struggle were laid out in a stunning 8,000-word account titled “Staying the Course.” Author Wright Thompson introduced Ford as a lovable, hard-working golf professional holding on against all odds at doomed Daufuskie Island Resort & Breathe Spa. The resort went bankrupt. The loan to continue operations until a new buyer stepped in ran out. Salaries were cut. The power was turned off. The phone stopped working. Leased equipment started breaking down. There was no money to buy pesticide or fertilizer for the fading course. For 12 months, Ford held out hope as potential buyers surfaced and faded away. His final hope was the Oct. 21, 2010, auction of Daufuskie Island Resort. In front of a jam-packed ballroom at the 66

BY LANCE HANLIN Hilton Head Marriott, the auctioneer announced there were no bidders. Ford finally buckled. “We finally just said, ‘What are we doing?’” Ford said. “It was two years of the bankruptcy, I had shoulder surgery and I wasn’t getting paid. There is a line when it’s not worth it.” Ford and his wife, Tai, packed up and moved to the Sunshine State, accepting jobs at Burnt Pine Golf Club in Destin. Two days after the ESPN article was published, Ford’s cell phone rang. The call was from Brian McCarthy, a longtime Daufuskie Island property owner and CEO of McCarthy Group Florists. He had just won the golf course, pool, clubhouse, spa and tennis courts at a Charleston courtroom auction with a lowball bid of $1.64 million. “He said, ‘I just bought Bloody Point Golf Club. What is it going to take to get you back?’” Ford remembered. “I was like, ‘Oh boy.’” He wanted to be more than the “glorified T-shirt folder” he was in Florida. McCarthy was offering more – a chance to help redesign the neglected

course. After Ford and his wife weighed their options, they decided to return. “I would not recommend moving to and from a bridgeless island twice in six months,” Ford joked. Ford returned to an unkempt course that he said was overrun with eight-foot weeds and coyotes. After two months on the brush hog, he helped redesign the course with Bob Spence of Love Golf Design. “Bob and I would get up on the first tee box and would discuss what stays and what goes,” Ford said. “We did that from 1 through 18. We got rid of at least 30 percent of the bunkering out there. We reshaped the greens a little bit and moved some tees.” Many other improvements were made, both on and off the course. A ferry embarkation was built between 17 and 18, opening the door for Bloody Point to start its own ferry service. The spa building is being transformed into a seven-bedroom cottage for stay-and-plays. Eagle’s Nest restaurant, two tennis courts, an ocean-front lot with a pool and plans for

a tiki bar will compliment the 9,000-square-foot clubhouse. McCarthy’s son, Kevin, is Bloody Point’s owner and COO. He knows the island well, having married his wife Julianna (VP of sales and marketing) on Daufuskie. Dan Hendry is the superintendent, Michael DeMarco is the chef, Rod “Rocket” Rossman is the bar manager and Ford’s wife, Tai, is the member and resort services manager. As for Ford, his official title is general manager. “I’m head professional, director of golf, general manager, maybe waste management and pool cleaning,” he joked. “Everything that we can do to cut cost and generate a little bit of revenue, we have to do to keep what happened from happening again.” While the course is not back to 100 percent, it is open to local play. Green fees range from $79 to $95, not including marine transportation. The grand opening welcoming the general public is scheduled for Memorial Day Weekend. And yes, it will continue to be called Bloody Point. The club has been getting recommendations to change its handle since being listed among the country’s 10 worst club names back in the ‘90s. To

management, honoring the island’s history is more important than any silly top 10 list. In 1715, the southernmost point was the site of a violent battle between Yemassee Indians and settlers. The point was said to be left covered in blood and the local tribes eventually lost their land. Daufuskie’s plantation era followed the Revolutionary War with 12 farming plantations producing Sea Island cotton. After the Civil War and the eradication of slavery, oystering became the main industry until pollution from the Savannah River closed the oyster beds in 1951. Electricity came in 1953 followed by telephones in 1972. In the 1980s, land was purchased to develop residential oceanfront communities. The golf course at Bloody Point was originally designed in 1991 by Tom Weiskopf and Jay Morrish with grand ambition. After a challenging 22 years, Ford feels it can now be a beacon of light for the entire island. “Everyone thinks Daufuskie is a little defunct, and it is,” Ford said. “This is our chance to make one little portion of it successful. Hopefully it works and the success will transcend throughout the island.” G

BEFORE AND AFTER: Following the bankruptcy of Daufuskie Island Resort & Breathe Spa, the golf course at Bloody Point was left to Mother Nature (top). The course has been restored by Love Golf Design (bottom).

How to save a life Fire & Rescue, Hilton Head Hospital offer free CPR training as part of National EMS Week. BY LANCE HANLIN

onas Stephens believes in bystander-initiated CPR. As a senior firefighter and paramedic of Hilton Head Island Fire & Rescue, he was directly involved in seven sudden cardiac arrest calls made in 2012 where patients survived and went on to live productive lives. “On almost every case, someone was doing CPR when we got there,” Stephens said. “I think that is what has absolutely led to these people walking out of the hospital.” According to the American Heart Association, less than one-third of sudden cardiac arrest victims receive immediate CPR from bystanders. If CPR is performed effectively and immediately after a sudden cardiac arrest, a victim’s chance of survival can triple. “We can show up with all the drugs and fancy equipment we have but nothing makes a difference like high-quality CPR,” senior firefighter and paramedic Bryan Scharver said. “Usually it’s the bystander prior to rescue getting there that makes the huge difference. You can save the life of a friend, a family member or even a complete stranger.” When it comes to sudden cardiac arrest, minutes matter. Lack of oxygen to the brain causes loss of consciousness, which then results in abnormal or absent breathing. If gone untreated for more than five minutes, brain injury is likely. “Unless the person goes into cardiac arrest in sight of the fire station, we are not going to be there in four or five minutes,” Fire & Rescue chief Lavarn Lucas said. “The public has to know CPR and be willing to administer it.” As part of National EMS Week (May 19-25), Fire & Rescue has teamed up with Hilton Head Hospital to offer free basic CPR training. Three one-hour classes will be conducted May 22 (9-10 a.m., 11 a.m.-noon) and May 24 (9-10 a.m.) in the boardroom of Hilton Head Hospital.

Instructors will be Cinda Seamon of Fire & Rescue and Martha Bridges of Hilton Head Hospital. “When we did this last year, everybody seemed to really enjoy it and was very engaged,” said Bridges, who is the clinical coordinator for the cardiac rehab department at Hilton Head Hospital. “They felt like they had learned something and had more confidence they could do it for a family member or a bystander.” The latest bystander-initiated CPR techniques only require chest compression. Mouth-to-mouth breathing is no longer required. Nearly 300,000 Americans suffer out-of-hospital cardiac arrest every year. The national survival rate of all incidents is estimated between 5 and 10 percent. Hilton Head Island Fire & Rescue boasted an overall survival rate of 37 percent in 2012. The town’s rate was even more impressive for victims that met the Utstein Criteria, a set of guidelines for uniform reporting that includes witnessed cardiac arrest. Twelve patients met the criteria and eight survived to hospital discharge, resulting in an impressive survival rate of 66 percent. “It is very difficult to be good at resuscitation, but we have become very good at it in a fairly

ONE MISSION, ONE TEAM As part of National EMS Week (May 19-25) Hilton Head Hospital and the Town of Hilton Head Island Fire & Rescue are offering free basic CPR training. Using the American Heart Association’s Family and Friends CPR program, trained instructors from the hospital will cover the latest CPR techniques. Classes are: SESSION 1: Wednesday, May 22, 9-10 a.m. SESSION 2: Wednesday, May 22, 11 a.m.-noon SESSION 3: Friday, May 24, 9 a.m.-10 a.m. All three classes will take place at the boardroom of Hilton Head Hospital. Space is limited and registration is required. To register, call 877-582-2737.

short period of time,” Fire & Rescue captain Tom Bouthillet said. “It’s something that this community can be very proud of.” Fire & Rescue first started seeing more survivors in 2010, the year it implemented minimally interrupted chest compressions and began tracking survivors. The first complete year of data was 2011, and Fire & Rescue’s Utstein survival rate was 40 percent. The department’s numbers improved with the induction of moderate hypothermia to victims in 2012. EMTs began injecting victims with iced saline to lower their body temperature during resuscitation. “By lowering the patient’s temperature, we lower the brain’s metabolism and it requires less oxygen and nutrients,” Bouthillet said. “By cooling the brain, we give it a chance to rest and recover.” Fire & Rescue also started using the Pit Crew Concept, where each paramedic dispatched performs a specific task, similar to a pit crew in NASCAR racing. Fire & Rescue also pushed for automated external defibrillators at all gated communities and other places where large amounts of people congregate. The department worked to get the state law changed, allowing security officers to carry the live-saving devices. Today, all major plantations, major hotels and other key locations have access to an AED. As a result of all the improved procedures and techniques, Hilton Head Island Fire & Rescue had its most successful year to date in 2012. “We started this process five years ago when we started increasing the number of CPR classes we do and started pushing the AED program,” Chief Lucas said. “We’ve done multiple things since then to continue to improve upon the system.” The general public is encouraged to help Fire & Rescue’s cause by attending one of this month’s free CPR training sessions.

any breast cancer patients can now replace weeks of radiation therapy and its attendant side effects with a single session of high-intensity, highly targeted radiation administered while the patient is asleep during surgery. The Curtis and Elizabeth Anderson Cancer Institute (ACI) at Memorial University Medical Center (MUMC) brought this major new development to the region as part of its commitment to making cutting-edge cancer therapies available in the Coastal Empire and Lowcountry. Intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) brings a radiation oncologist into the operating room with the breast cancer surgeon to utilize advanced new equipment. The IORT device involves a small radiation source that is inserted inside the surgical incision after a lumpectomy is performed and while the patient is still anesthetized. Then, a single large dose of radiation is administered, directly in the tumor bed. The device is then removed and the incision is closed as in conventional cancer treatment. For many patients, that single session represents the only radiation therapy they will need for treatment of their breast cancer, replacing four to seven weeks of daily conventional external radiation therapy. Others may still require additional radiation treatment, but the IORT procedure reduces the number of radiation sessions they need by one to three weeks, compared to conventional treatment. The ACI acquired the INTRABEAM Radiotherapy System to deliver IORT last October. Since then, breast surgeons and radiation oncologists have paired up in Memorial’s operating rooms to treat more than 60 patients, and counting, with the new technology. Memorial became the first hospital in Georgia to offer IORT, and has since been followed by another in the Atlanta area. Logic dictates that the treatment will eventually become more widely available, but area residents have convenient access to it now. Breast cancer calls for highly individualized treatment plans, and no therapy applies to all. IORT as a single treatment is appropriate for women over 45 who are undergoing a lumpectomy for tumors less than 1 inch that have not spread to nearby lymph nodes. Other women may receive IORT as a “boost” method to shorten their overall treatment by one to three weeks. For patients undergoing lumpectomy, IORT offers a practical and effective alternative to lengthy radiation treatment regimens. Large studies involving thousands of women in the U.S. and around the world have demonstrated that a single IORT treatment is equal to conventional treatment. In addition, the women who received IORT had fewer side effects, like skin burns and breast hardening or fibrosis. Since the entire treatment is completed in just one day, it means less time away from family and work, less travel to the hospital, and less inconvenience. With the Intrabeam IORT system, we are maximizing the chance of breast cancer cure and improving the quality of life for patients while they undergo treatment.

Lose weight, gain a healthy lifestyle T

here’s no secret, losing weight is difficult. The Boston Medical Center indicates that 45 million Americans diet each year; two-thirds of adults in the United States are obese or overweight. Finding a diet program that works for you will help your health, appearance, and self esteem; it will transform your life! Let’s hear from someone that found such a program: ■ If I Can Do This, Anyone Can! “Hi, my name is Susan Wheeler from Savannah, Georgia. I’m so excited I found HCG! I’ve struggled with my weight for the last 16 years. When I started HCG, I was the heaviest I’ve ever been in my life. It was the worst I’ve ever felt physically and emotionally. I felt hopeless. I’ve tried everything to lose weight; nothing worked. Even though I felt bad about myself for being overweight, I continued to eat. I could not think of anything else I could do to get control of my weight. I had such an unhealthy relationship with food. It’s a simple plan. It’s not easy. There have been challenges… I love sweets and fried foods, but then I started thinking, “What am I putting in my body? What have I done to it all these years eating so badly?” I realized this was an opportunity for me to not only lose weight and feel better about myself, but to also do a total body cleanse. Now I think about what I put into my body and I choose the right foods. I have continued to lose weight even after transitioning off of HCG. The payoff is so worth it! I‘ve lost 30 pounds; I wake up in the morning and say, “Oh my God I’m so amazed! Look at my body—it’s changing!” It’s been such a wonderful experience. I look and feel younger. When I started HCG, I was immediately impressed with the support I got. I’ve been on other programs and once you pay, they send you home with a book. On this program I look forward to my weekly coaching sessions, because they are as excited as I am about what I’m accomplishing; I could call or e-mail anytime. After all of these years of struggling, if I can do this, anyone can!” The HCG diet that Susan used has been around for over 40 years. It’s the result of research done by British endocrinologist, Dr. A.T. Simeons. He determined that by using a naturally occurring human hormone, human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), in conjunction with a diet of specific fruits, vegetables and lean proteins, the body

■ How HCG can transform your life.

would mobilize visceral fat (fat you don’t want) and result in average weekly weight losses of 4-7 pounds. A key to this process is that HCG works on the hypothalamus (the gland in your brain that controls heartbeat, breathing, and providing your body with “fuel”). Dr. Simeons learned that with HCG, the hypothalamus would release visceral fat to be used as an energy source. That fat movement allows the dieter to consume significantly less calories than they could on other programs since the body is getting its metabolic needs (energy) from the fat. HCG is naturally created by women during pregnancy. One of its primary roles is to assist in the transfer of fat (nutrition) from the mother to the fetus. The dosages used for weight loss are dramatically lower than what is created naturally by women during pregnancy. It is not a sex hormone and can be used safely by men and women for weight loss. Approved by the FDA, weight loss is considered an off-label use of HCG. ■ What do I need to know about an HCG program? 1. Support: The HCG diet is simple (specific quantities of specific foods purchased at the grocery store) but it is not easy for everyone. The difference between total compliance and minor deviations to the food can create significant differences in weight loss. As Susan mentioned, the weekly/daily support was critical to her success. Make sure you will get the support you need to be successful. 2. Make sure that a doctor examines and approves you to be on HCG. There are some, but not many, preexisting conditions that might exclude you. 3. Your program must include a prescription for HCG. You’ll find products in stores and on the Internet that claim to be HCG. If it doesn’t include a prescription, it’s not HCG. Using those products in conjunction with the low calorie diet can be dangerous. 4. Dr. Simeon used injectable HCG. Additional delivery methods are now available, but injections provide the most consistent and effective delivery of HCG into the body. The long term success rate for HCG is excellent. The eating habits you learn while on the program are the foundation of a transformation to your life!

HCG is naturally created by women during pregnancy. One of its primary roles is to assist in the transfer of fat (nutrition) from the mother to the fetus.

The time NOW is

If you were waiting for the perfect time to purchase a vacation rental property, we have good news. It’s here.

pring is in the air and now is the perfect time to consider purchasing a Hilton Head Island vacation rental property. With interest rates at historic lows and prices that are still in favor of the buyer, purchasing a vacation rental property could benefit you and your family for years to come. The short-term rental market on the island is off to a strong start in 2013 and positive growth over 2012 is expected for the remainder of the year. Acquiring your vacation rental property now assures you take advantage of the peak summer season for revenues and can help offset some of the real estate purchase expenses. Make a list of the priorities for your vacation rental property, including your desired location, the ideal size of your new property, your budget, rental income expectations, whether or not you are interested in a fixer upper, how often you intend to use the property, if you want a home or a villa, and finally, whether you will retire there or eventually sell it. Be sure to share this list with your experienced vacation rental Realtor® and, eventually with your vacation rental manager. Your personal priorities, goals and objectives for pur-

chasing a vacation rental property are the first things to consider.

higher rental revenue with a great location and view.

Next, be sure to get prequalified for a loan if you are financing and consult your accountant and lawyer so that you fully understand the tax and insurance requirements, potential tax benefits, how to structure your mortgage loan, whether or not to set up an LLC and whether it makes sense for you to purchase a property out of your IRA. Remember to factor in annual maintenance expenses in your analysis of the financial situation for buying your property. Getting these details worked out at the beginning of the vacation rental purchase process will make things much easier as you look for the perfect property.

Vacation renters are looking for quality flat screen TV’s and DVD players in the living room and all the bedrooms, Wi-Fi, a great kitchen, a grill and pool access. Ideally each bedroom will have its own bathroom. Rental properties should have a mix of king beds, twin beds and always a good commercial grade sleeper sofa. Avoid properties with too many stairs, as this will usually detract multigenerational travelers.

While you search for your ideal vacation rental property, the ultimate considerations for Hilton Head are access to the beach and other key activities that vacation renters enjoy such as golf, tennis and biking. The view from the property is a very important criterion, so be sure to check this while visiting prospect properties. Because rates are largely determined by the location and the view from the property, you’ll bring in

If the property you are considering has been a vacation rental before, be sure to obtain the last two years of revenue intake so that you have an accurate picture of income potential. And finally, be sure to work with a local Realtor® that specializes in vacation rental properties. M Robert Stenhammer has been a resort executive for over 15 years and holds an MBA in Hospitality and Tourism. He is the President of Hilton Head Accommodations, serves on the Board of Directors for the Hilton Head Island/Bluffton Chamber of Commerce and is Vice-Chairman of the Accommodation Tax Committee

Rick Saba is an enthusiastic, dependable and honest realtor that goes that extra mile to follow through and complete a sale. At the end of 2011 we listed a villa with Rick closed the following month. Several months later we decided to list our villa and look for a house. During that time frame, Rick kept in constant communication with us even when we were back in OHIO. Within a year’s time he sold our two villas and found a house that perfectly fits our needs. Rick continues to be there for his clients even after the sales are complete. We think of him as a friend, not just a real estate agent. He loves his job and it shows! We definitely recommend Rick Saba to anyone buying or selling real estate in the Hilton Head Area. — Ron and Roxanne Palenshus, Hilton Head Island 2012 to Present

Local Real Estate Brokerage Passes Down the Savings

ho can deny the computer’s enormous impact on our world? From its conception, it has changed almost every facet of our daily lives. This could not be truer than in the realm of business. The ever-changing technology has allowed company owners to chart new territories while innovating their respective fields and accruing large potential savings in the process. You need look no further than the real estate industry to see the positive effects of such change. Brokerages such as Barefoot Luxury, Hilton Head Island are embracing technological benefits and utilizing them for their customers’ benefit. Josh Johnson, owner and Broker-in-Charge of Barefoot Luxury, explains the change such innovation has brought to his real estate firm. “The sheer amount of technology available to business practitioners, regardless of their occupation, is simply amazing! For example, the latest mobile and tablet applications are allowing listing brokers and agents to multi-task at a pace never seen before,” he says. “If truly taken advantage of, these apps can cause an inevitable decline in the need for large overhead and unnecessary expense. This can, in turn, equal a dramatic savings for a small boutique firm such as ours. I simply chose to pass those savings on to my clients,” he explains. Barefoot Luxury just recently announced 1.5 percent listing brokerage fees on any new listings. “We have received much positive response to this announcement, even more than initially expected. This is especially true for the reaction of owners of high end beach condos.” Josh continues by stating that “[w]e were also one of the first firms on the island to utilize Mac applications in real estate. However we find our clients enjoy the efficiency and time-saving effects of working with such a clean and user-friendly platform. They really seem to enjoy the streamlined collection of listing data and lack of an ongoing sea of paperwork when first listing their property.” That is certainly understandable considering the hectic schedules of many investment property owners. He adds, ‘[o]ur sellers’ careers and lives can be quite demanding and we pride ourselves on our efficient business practices.” In conclusion Johnson adds, “we are a full-service brokerage committed to saving our clients’ time and money in as effective a manner as possible. It just makes sense.”

Barefoot Luxury specializes in working with the owners of vacation villas and vacant land on Hilton Head’s south end. Their area of focus includes Sea Pines, Forest Beach, Shipyard and Palmetto Dunes. Josh Johnson can be reached directly at Josh@BarefootHiltonHead.com or (843) 422-5896.

HE CALLS THIS DEEP EMERALD TEMPLE “ELYSIAN GARDENS.” With landscape designer Patrick Judd, Kasten has surrounded his home with small elements of visual punch, curved walls that guide the eye from one botanical wonder to the next, and an oasis of peace and tranquility that would make the Gods jealous.

Part of the beauty of Elysian Gardens lies in its blending of winding bricks, architectural interest and Greek-inspired artwork against loosely laid out lush green foliage. This dichotomy is by design. “You see those elements juxtaposed against each other and you get a comforting feeling,” Judd said. “There’s a lot of layering, a lot of textures.” What you won’t see is a lot of color, as Rose Hill’s deer made short work of anything that wasn’t green. To combat the deer, Judd planted foxtail ferns, podocarpus, boxwoods, cardboard palm, mahonia, and papyrus, among others. 122

While the garden is a creative collaboration between Kasten and Judd, its heart and soul reflects Kasten’s artistic spirit and deep abiding faith. An avid art collector, Kasten’s collections tour the world in different museums, and he’s even written a book on the subject of art appreciation. It’s a mentality he’s taken outside. “You can take a modern artist with 3 or 4 cans of paint, they can lay it down and skate on it and have a painting,” he said. “Then you have the artist who’s very careful in the construction so everything is in harmony. That’s the way you plan a garden.” He points to spots where he’d like to plant a bench so the point of view lines up with a roofline and the twisting branch of a live oak, describing each with an artist’s eye. “We’re going to design a plan so that people on the tour can have photo opportunities,” he added. “People love photos.” You can tour Elysian Gardens, plus five other amazing gardens, during the All Saints Garden Tour, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. May 18. Tickets are $30 and include lunch, with all proceeds going to charity. Call 843-645-4111 for details. M May 2013

SECRET PLACES / TODD BALLANTINE www.ballantineenvironmental.com

Shadow Paths Who walks the islandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long forgotten roads?

HE SILENCE grabbed my attention. It was unnerving, to hike down a trail and hear nothing. No wind, no airplanes flying low and loud over a wall of pines. No leaf blowers. No cars. No people. No birds. Nothing.

It was a gray, late afternoon in February 1972. I was exploring a soggy, winding, overgrown forest path overlooking Port Royal Sound. Sea Pines Company had recently purchased the land now called Hilton Head Plantation. My job was to explore property and find the wild, distinct places to preserve as open space. A few minutes down the trail, my Explorer Scout instincts rose to high alert: something is out here with me â&#x20AC;&#x201D; watching, waiting. I slowed my pace and rounded a bend. Suddenly, a heinous scream pierced the cold air. The explosion of huge wings, long legs, and clawed feet blasted by me. The bird was a startled great blue heron. But from my vantage point it looked and sounded like a ravenous Pterodactyl. I caught my breath and got my bearings. Tannic, tea-brown water flowed across this old trail. I followed the stream and reached steep cliffs along Port Royal Sound. Water cascaded down the eroding slope and meandered across the shore. Fallen pines and oaks littered the strand. In craggy oyster rakes (reefs) and tide-pools a flurry of shorebirds scavenged insects and small fish carried in the outfall. Where did this water come from? Where is this stream now?

If you search for this path, with its creek and cliffs and wildlife, you will not find it.

“Visit some of these secret places with their storied names: Jonesville, Wild Horse, Fish Haul, Old Military. The names beckon and entice discovery.”

COTTON ROAD In the antebellum era, the Hilton Head Island landscape was a quilt of as many as 20 plantations linked by dirt roads and footpaths. Vintage maps — such as the edition 1958 assembled by the Hack family (former owners of Honey Horn Plantation) — show these rural routes. The trail I found had been a straight road from William Elliott’s 1,000acre Myrtle Bank Plantation located on the northern promontory of Hilton Head Island. It followed the bluff along Port Royal Sound from Elliott’s Sea Island cotton fields to the Pineland and Fish Haul Plantations owned by the Drayton family. Translated into modern place-names: this passageway led from Dolphin Head to Mitchelville Road, near Fish Haul Creek. Today, the winding, oak-shrouded streets of Hilton Head Plantation have erased all signs of that cotton road, its wagon-wheel ruts and the barefoot tracks of slaves. The secluded stream that hid the monster heron also has a story. Not so long ago, you could trace this watercourse

back to its source: Whooping Crane Pond (now named Whooping Crane Conservancy). This is the deepest, most extensive freshwater wetland north of Sea Pines. In cotton plantation times, the swamp covered hundreds of acres and slowly drained overland to Port Royal Sound, coursing through the present-day Myrtle Bank Lane neighborhood and its matrix of fairways and ponds. The bluff along Port Royal Plantation has eroded and receded inland since the cotton era.

“Squire” Pope, who owned the 1,800-acre Point Comfort Plantation overlooking Buck Island. Pope’s holdings included a corridor of land with saltwater access, well-drained cotton fields, dense forests, and wetlands named “Boggy Gut.” The axis of his property was the rifle barrel straight wagon road that led from Pope’s home by Calibogue Sound and continued to the beach, about where the Coligny Beach Park is now located.

POPE AND CHANGE

Modern Hilton Head Island, bustling as it has become, has a deep human story. The plot lines trace Shadow Paths — lesser-known roads winding through the subtropical landscape and bearing the memory of so many footsteps — Indians, soldiers, Gullah slaves. Visit some of these secret places with their storied names: Jonesville, Wild Horse, Fish Haul, Old Military. The names beckon and entice discovery. Wave to people you meet. Not so long ago, islanders always waved. It was our sign language for: “We’re all in this together.” M

The Sea Pines Circle is the hub that cycles thousands of cars in four directions on William Hilton Parkway, Greenwood Drive, and Pope Avenue. “The Circle” was constructed in 1962 in order to improve the flow of cars between U.S. 278 (William Hilton Parkway), Palmetto Bay Road, Greenwood Drive in Sea Pines, and Pope Avenue leading to the beach. Before the circle, one stoplight directed traffic through the ever-busier intersection. Imagine the wait. Pope Avenue is named for William

JOE You don’t know

He’s one of the island’s most famed artists — but there’s more to Joe Bowler than paint and canvas

STORY BY BARRY KAUFMAN PHOTO BY ROB KAUFMAN

t’s a sunny afternoon, and Joe Bowler is drawing inspiration from the subtle strokes of the light’s paintbrush on the bricks of his Sea Pines home as he works on his latest creation. He calls it Busy Buddies, and it tells a story he’s not sure of yet.

“I’m a narrative painter, and an illustrator from way back, so I’m always looking for some kind of story going on. That’s the key, the story that it tells,” he says as he wheels backward from the canvas. Confined to an electric chair due to his health, Bowler is still relentless in the pursuit of his craft. That pursuit continues in Busy Buddies, a portrait of two small children playing in the murky sand of a local beach. “With this one, I just like that composition, everything about it,” he says, taking a critical eye to his painting. “This is going to make a nice little painting.” 142

He’s underselling it just a little -- even in its rough, unfinished state, the artist’s dedication to his craft is evident in every curve, every color, ever glimmer of reflected sunlight in this painting. But then, even with a stunning career as a commercial illustrator and portrait artist, and a full dance card as an in-demand painter, Joe Bowler doesn’t think he’s finished. “People laugh when I say, ‘One of these days I’ll get it right,’ but I'm serious about it,” he says. “I know what is possible and can’t quiet do it yet. You haven’t seen the great masters the way I have.”

MAY 13 133-152 Calendar.indd 142

4/25/13 10:25 AM

Those masters are the paintings he’d absorb in the museums and art galleries of New York City, where Bowler made his name in the 1960s as one of the most promising artists of the Charles E. Cooper Studios. In a small corner of his in-home studio, part of a pile of books and albums that stretch to the ceiling, are three portfolio albums. Within those albums are tear sheets from Time, Saturday Evening Post, and a few others that lay out why he was named Artist of the Year in 1967 by the Artist’s Guild of New York. But all of this, his meteoric fame in the early days as an illustrator, his career here as one of the Southeast’s most in-demand portrait artists, this is the part local art fans already know. We wanted to know more. So we interrupted Bowler’s work on Busy Buddies to ask for the five things you didn’t know about Joe Bowler.’ 1) His first love is fly fishing. “In flyfishing, you don’t have to catch fish. The whole idea is the rhythm. It’s so much fun to get this line up in the air and put it where you want it.” 2) He even taught Fuzzy Davis a thing or two. “I was the one that got Fuzzy in fly fishing. We were on this bank out here, I brought a fly rod along, and I was catching fish, mackerel and bluefish, faster than he was with spinning rod. He said, ‘let me try that.’ I told him, ‘Fuzzy this isn’t something you start out with,’ he said, ‘No I’m good with that stuff.’ And he sat in the front of the boat, and in one second he had that line wrapped around him, with a hook in his ear. But he made a commitment, and Fuzzy now is a world-class fly fisherman.” 3) He’s good with presidents. When asked who he would paint, living or dead, he replied, “Well, it’s kind of obvious, but I would think Obama. He has an interesting face. I’m a fan of his. I did paint Nixon once for Time Magazine. It was right in 1971 before I moved down… It turned out to be so good, the editors said, ‘I’d buy a used car from that guy.’ They ended up using a newspaper wrapped head that didn’t look like him at all.” 4) He loves teaching. Among his students are Brian Neher, and Jim Aplin, but he’ll teach anyone willing to learn. “I’ve never charged anything for teaching, it’s just what I do. There’s a woman that wants to pay to have her husband come watch for 2-3 hours. She wanted to pay me. Just bring a nice bottle of sippin’ scotch. Single malt.” 5) He has good taste in art. “When in New York he’d go to the museum and he’d spend hours and hours and hours until the guards told him to leave because they were closing,” said Bowler’s daughter, Jolyn. “Or they’d come up to make sure he wasn’t touching the paintings because he was examining the brush strokes — he called it licking the paint off the canvas.” Joe Bowler’s portraits, along with the unique environmental sculptures of Trailer McQuilkin (see sidebar) will be on display during a special show this month at Morris & Whiteside Galleries, with an artist’s reception from 6-8 p.m. May 17.

Putting the Metal to the Petal

Trailer McQuilkin Take a closer look at that dayflower up there. While it looks like any other rare flower, it’s only on upclose inspection that one begins to perceive the subtle brush strokes and texture of metal. Only then do you realize this isn’t nature’s work, this is a sculpture. This unique medium is the playground of Missouri-based artist Trailer McQuilkin, who appears with Joe Bowler at Morris & Whiteside Gallery this month. “I go for total realism,” he said. “It’s trompe l’oeil in a sense. It’s an illusion.” The illusion, and the skilled hand behind it, has taken McQuilkin around the world, to private galleries and showings and even to the windows of New York’s famed Tiffany & Co. where he produced two displays. And while the collections and showings are his bread and butter, McQuilkin’s passion lies in documenting rare, threatened and disappearing plants. “I’ve made that my journey,” he said. For this show, he’ll present a selection of plants found not only in the Lowcountry, but in his native New Orleans. “Where you guys are is similar to where I am with the wetlands,” he said. “All life comes from the wetlands.” Take a closer look this month at Morris & Whiteside Galleries, or browse McQuilkin’s work at his website, www.trailermcquilkin.com May 2013

TGIF Artists present Sfumato exhibit For several years, a group of seven artists and two small dogs have gathered in the kitchen of a Hilton Head Island home twice a week to share their creativity and nurture their friendships. Presently they are preparing for a feature exhibit of their work at Coastal Discovery Museum at Honey Horn Plantation. The exhibit, titled “Sfumato” (seamless blending of color) opens with a celebration on May 30. The exhibit will be in place through July 7. During the exhibit, the TGIF Artists will offer demonstrations and classes to the public and will be painting and sculpting together in the gallery each Friday. The public is invited to register for classes and is also welcome to roam the gallery and observe the artists as they work together during open studio each Friday in the gallery. The TGIF Artists, so named because they look forward to working together every Friday, converge on the kitchen from the island and Bluffton for coffee, laughter and the creation of art. They range in age from mid-20s to mid-70s. Most are painters, some are sculptors. One is an accomplished filmmaker and director of plays. Most are American born; two are decidedly British. Some are professionally trained, others are self-taught. Most are former students of the group’s host. Despite their widely divergent styles, they take inspiration and encouragement from each other — and occasionally ask for a little constructive advice. They include men and women. Some are employed, some are retired. Four had social work careers in upstate New York at about the same time, but never met there. One is an expert in commercial/theatrical sound and lighting technology — and directs plays. Three are professionally trained artists. Three are photographers. One never touched paint or canvas until retirement. While a few are available to work together more than once a week, the whole group gathers in the welcoming kitchen on Fridays for what is affectionately called TGIF. The TGIF Artists include (but are not limited to) host and professional artist/ designer/teacher, L. Robert Stanfield, Maxine Uttal, David Warren, Sara Lucas, Halley Yates, Liz Mcginnes and Susan Patton. Over the years they’ve supported each other through “artist’s block,” creative overload, and a variety of critical life challenges and changes. To participate in TGIF, contact Stanfield at (833) 384-5300 or (843) 785-4825. 146

SHELTER COVE | monthly

On the waterfront Take a tour of Shelter Cove, where locals and visitors enjoy year-round fun. BY LANCE HANLIN

ICK AND VICKY STAMEY TRAVEL FROM NORTH CAROLINA TO HILTON HEAD ISLAND TWICE A YEAR. EACH VISIT INCLUDES A TRIP TO SHELTER COVE HARBOUR, SO THEY CAN LOOK AT A LONGTIME FRIEND’S BOAT DOCKED IN THE MARINA. THE STAMEYS ALSO BRING ALONG THEIR BINOCULARS TO GET A CLOSER LOOK AT LOCAL WILDLIFE. “You’ve got pelicans, barn swallows, egrets, cedar waxwings,” Rick Stamey said. “There’s just a bunch of different kinds of birds down here. It’s a nice place.” On the other end of the boardwalk, Kim and Ben Mannen, of Ontario, Canada, take in a stunning view of Broad Creek from a picnic table located in front of ELA’s Blu Water Grille. They came to Shelter Cove for the shopping, dining and scenery. “There is nothing like this where we are from,” Kim Mannen said. “Everything is open and you can just walk around without feeling uncomfortable.”

Since it was developed in 1983, Shelter Cove has been one of Hilton Head Island’s most popular attractions, drawing millions of visitors. It is also a popular spot for local residents. “We always love coming here,” said Bluffton’s Chris Jones, who came with his wife Stephanie and their two young children, Aiden and Sophia. “Our kids like to look at all the boats and it’s a good place to take pictures.” Today’s picture was of Aiden and Sophia in front of the towering 12-foot bronze statue of Neptune, Roman god of the sea. Along with welcoming visitors at the entrance of Shelter Cove’s Mediterranean-style village, Neptune also doubles as a larger-than-life sundial. When the shadow of the statue’s signature trident falls across the 26-foot wide circular base, numbers around the edge indicate the precise time. But no matter where the shadow falls, right now for Shelter Cove, it’s show time. The village comes to life this month with Music on the Harbour, the Hilton Head Island Arts Festival and the kickoff of the summerlong HarbourFest celebration. The party keeps rolling in June with the popular Tuesday

night fireworks and an all-new Friday night island-themed celebration dubbed ParrotHead Palooza. This month’s Music on the Harbour series features live performances from 6-9 p.m. each Thursday from Target the Band (May 2), the Patwa Reggae Band (May 9), The Headliners (May 16) and the Jazz Corner Quintet (May 23). Popular entertainer Shannon Tanner then takes the outdoor amphitheater stage for the 25th year of his Summer Family Show. He will start with performances at 6:30 p.m. and 8 p.m., May 24-26. The 5th annual Hilton Head Island Arts Festival takes place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. May 25-26 at Shelter Cove Harbour. The free event will feature more than 150 artists from around the country displaying paintings, jewelry, sculptures, photography, pottery and more. HarbourFest officially begins May 27. Tanner’s summer schedule starts that week and features Monday through Friday shows at 6:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. Before and after Tanner’s performances, Cappy the Clown will provide May 2013

face painting, balloon animals and other activities. Bouncy houses, hair braiding, and many other events are also part of the annual summerlong celebration, which runs Memorial Day through Labor Day. “There are thousands of people in the harbour,” Tanner said. “It’s just crazy. I have to really be on my toes because there are so many people and the energy level is so high. It has taken on a life of its own, without a doubt. All the merchants, all the restaurants, everybody involved has contributed to the success and the spirit of HarbourFest. It’s a neat event.”

Shelter Cove’s popular fireworks begin June 18 and will go off each Tuesday through Aug. 13. A special fireworks show is planned for July 4. The fireworks will also mark the start of ParrotHead Palooza. Tanner has formed a band called Shannon Tanner and the Oyster Reefers that will play a Jimmy Buffett-spirited show with a carnival-like atmosphere each Friday night, June 21 through Aug. 16. Many vacationing families leave on Saturdays, making the Friday night celebration one last party on the island. “I think we’re on to something here with this

ParrotHead Palooza,” Tanner said. “Every person that drives across that bridge on vacation to Hilton Head has that escapist feeling, the very thing Jimmy Buffett and Kenny Chesney have packaged so well. When people come to Hilton Head, they all come with that spirit – get to the beach, get to the golf course, get a Corona. I think we’re filling a niche.” The ParrotHead Palooza will start at 5 p.m. each Friday. Many restaurants and shops in the village will also participate with special items, food and beverages. Shannon Tanner and the Oyster Reefers will take the stage from 7-9 p.m.

Family fun: Shannon Tanner’s Summer Family Show has been a HarbourFest highlight for 25 years. This year Tanner will add a Jimmy Buffett-spirited show on Friday nights.

In addition to all the spring and summer events, Shelter Cove is a popular year-round destination with numerous dining, shopping and outdoor recreational opportunities. “It’s the most beautiful harbour on the island with a great atmosphere and central location,” said Maryanne Laskowitz, owner of San Miguel’s. “It’s a great spot to serve margaritas. We do a nice year-round business and see a lot of out-of-town visitors during the summer months and during spring break weeks.” Other restaurants in the village include Bistro 17, Little Venice Restaurant, Parrot Cove Grill & Bar, Scott’s Fish Market, ELA’s Blue Water Grille and Frosty’s Italian Ices. Located just outside of Shelter Cove’s umbrella, Kingfisher offers nightly entertainment and a comedy club to go along with its seafood, pasta and steak. “If you come to Hilton Head, you

are going to do four things,” said Earl Nightingale, owner of ELA’s Blu Water Grille. “You are going to go to the beach, you’re going to go to Harbour Town, you’re going to walk around Shelter Cove Harbour and you’re going to walk around Tanger. Every tourist is going to do those things. Why not be in Shelter Cove if it’s one of the top things people do when they come here?” The marina is run by longtime Harbourmaster Dave Harris, who finds himself, “busier than a one-armed paper hanger” these days. In addition to running the Ship’s Store underneath ELA’s, Harris coordinates all boat traffic coming in and out of the 175-slip marina. “It’s well-named, Shelter Cove,” Harris said. “When Hurricane Hugo hit Charleston, we had sustained winds of about 80 knots and it didn’t even blow out an awning. It’s a safe place in

HILTON HEAD ISLAND ARTS FESTIVAL a storm. With the buildings and everything around it, you literally don’t get any water action – no chop, no surf, no surge.” Harris has seen many boats come and go. The most unique was in the late 1980s, when Hilton Head was the alternative home port for the USS Gemini, a heavily armed U.S. Navy hydrofoil built for speed and mobility. “That was quite a vessel,” Harris said. “They put those foils down and it literally flew.” The marina can accommodate boats up to 165 feet. Slips are available by the day, week and month by calling Harris (843-842-7001) or sending him an email (dharris@palmettodunes.com). “It’s just like running a hotel, except the customer brings their own room with them,” Harris said.

Boaters are welcome to swing in the marina to shop, dine or unwind at one of the many shops or restaurants for a few hours, free of charge. Shelter Cove Marina also offers guided kayak tours, boat rentals, boat charters and fishing charters. “It’s amazing what has happened here,” Harris said. “When they first began Shelter Cove, it got kind of a slow start but it has really made a turnaround. We’re to the point now where there are good, solid businesses here and great restaurants. I think some of the finest eating on the island is right here at the marina. We tell boaters that come in, they could spend a week here, never eat at the same place and get a great meal every time. Then you’ve got all the activities and the Tuesday night fireworks. Shelter Cove has become a center for a lot of activity.” M

A hidden treasure worth finding ELA’s Blu Water Grille serves up local seafood, steak & style.

OR SAILORS, SKIPPERS, CAPTAINS AND OTHER BOAT OPERATORS DRIFTING INTO SHELTER COVE MARINA, ELA’S BLU WATER GRILLE MAY BE THE EASIEST RESTAURANT TO SPOT ON HILTON HEAD ISLAND. If its three levels of waterfront dining, its eye-catching garden patio or its unique lighthouse structure on top weren’t enough for boaters to notice, the restaurant literally sits on the marina tackle shop, next to the marina fuel dock. Owner/operator Earl Nightingale often takes his boat to work. For locals, the building is a Hilton Head institution. It housed Harbourmaster Restaurant for nearly 20 years, followed by the popular Ocean Grille until 2010. For visitors relying on ground transportation, though, it’s not such an easy find. Tucked away at 1 Shelter Cove Lane, ELA’s is isolated from the popular harbor’s other cluster of eating establishments. And that’s just fine with Nightingale. 158

“If you have good quality food and you have satisfied customers that talk about you, people will eventually find you,” Nightingale said. “We’re hard to find, but once you eat our food, you’ll tell your friends and you’ll be back again.” ELA’s opened its doors two years ago and has made quite a splash on the local dining scene. The 165-seat restaurant has been featured in Bon Appetit magazine and has won three prestigious OpenTable awards for Hilton Head’s best ambiance, best scenic view and best seafood. It has also become somewhat of a celebrity hotspot. Paula Abdul, Jane Seymour, Leslie Frazier, Jack Swarbrick and Angie Aparo all had their photos taken with staff members on ELA’s growing “Wall of Fame.” Nightingale has several other photos in his office he hasn’t had a chance to frame yet. He credits the restaurant’s early success to simply giving people what they want.

“I’m a really big believer that so many of our visitors have first-class quality restaurants in their home markets,” Nightingale said. “When they come to Hilton Head, they should be embraced with the same experience. Obviously, this location gives us a big edge on what we’re trying to do.” Nightingale decided to open the place after close to 40 years of revitalizing, repositioning and consulting hotels and restaurants all over the United States. To help pull it off, he called on his family. His daughter Erin, a commercial designer in Chicago, was responsible for giving the restaurant its unique atmosphere. His daughter Lauren, a vice president of human resources for the Art Institute in Raleigh, helped gather all the necessary business forms and licenses. His son Alex, who has a degree in finance and financial planning, did all of the heavy lifting and took charge of accounting. The first initial of each child is honored in the name: ELA. The apostrophe S is for his best friend’s son, Sam, who works at the restaurant. That same friend vouched for executive chef Chris Cohen, a New England Culinary Institute graduate who was running Michael Jordan’s Steak House at the Mohegan Sun. At ELA’s, Cohen combines his New England culinary flare with local fresh-catch specialties. Pan-seared diver scallops and pan-roasted grouper are two of the best selling items on the menu. Cohen hand-selects and prepares the fish each day, often meeting with local charter fishermen for that night’s creations. The restaurant is also willing to clean, prepare, and serve recreational fishermen their own catch.

One of the restaurant’s signature creations is its West Coast-style calamari, which is served in straight strips rather than chopped, rubbery tentacles, giving it more of a tender, juicy texture. “I would say it’s the best calamari on the island,” Nightingale said. All steak is privately raised, grass-fed cattle from Southern River Farms, a boutique stockyard in Augusta, Ga. The cuisine at ELA’s Blu Water Grille is complemented by its vast selection of fine wine. Each high-end bottle is priced $10 to $20 over cost (Nightingale calls it his cost-plus collection). As a result, ELA’s was the local wine distributor’s top seller of CakeBread Chardonnay last year.

“If you have good quality food and you have satisfied customers that talk about you, people will eventually find you.” “We like to see a bottle of wine on every table so we price it right and move a lot of it,” Nightingale said. ELA’s Blu Water grill is open for lunch from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday through Friday. Dinner is served seven days a week from 5-10 p.m. with many specialty brunches over holidays. Live music starts at 7 p.m. Thursday through Sunday. Chicago recording artist John Wasem plays current music every Friday and Saturday. Local recording artists Tim Malcheck (’70s music) and Reid Richmond (West Coast music) also

perform regularly. The restaurant’s massive glass windows on all three levels offer unmatched, panoramic views of Broad Creek and Shelter Cove Marina. The first floor, perched 12 feet above the boardwalk, seats 100 patrons inside and out on the garden patio. Many paintings on the wall were done by celebrated local artist Pete Karis, one of Nightingale’s close friends. “I got him in one Saturday morning on the scaffolding and told him I would cook him the best omelet he’d ever eaten if he painted these boats,” Nightingale said, pointing to four large sailboats hanging from the 30-foot ceiling. Near the bar are several high tops, made of sanded down slices of a 400-year-old Florida cypress tree. The floor is covered with a mixture of reclaimed wood and platinum carpet. The second level seats 52 patrons and often hosts weddings, rehearsal parties and other events. According to Nightingale, the restaurant’s best view is from a booth facing the eastern side of the second level. The Penthouse is on the third level and features a banquet table, perfect for private parties. For the best viewing experience, Nightingale recommends being seated close to sundown. “One of our best features is the variety of seating,” he said. “You could come to this restaurant five times and have a different viewing experience each time you come.” If you’re looking for local seafood, steak and style, this hidden gem is a place worth finding.

big tastes from a small island / sally kerr-dineen Photos by Rob Kaufman

Here’s what you need

• 4 cups (or larger) glass oven proof container • 4 cups whole milk • 2 heaped tablespoons of live culture yogurt (like Chobani or Fage) • Cheesecloth • Instant read thermometer

Here’s what you do

 Thick, tangy Greek yogurt should not be confused with Greek-style yogurt, which simply has had thickening agents added. The process of straining Greek yogurt removes all the excess whey. This results in a thicker, richer, and creamier product even in non-fat form (so still usable for cooking). New foodie-phrases have popped up to better enhance your cultural experience and taste sensation when devouring the crème de la crème of the bacterial enhanced world of milk – “residual mouth coating,” “melt-away,” “jiggle,” to name a few. The higher protein with little or no fat makes Greek yogurt the new darling of the health food world. It’s high in calcium and potassium, plus all those active cultures gobble up lactose. Now even lactose intolerant humans can get their rich dairy fix without suffering the less-than-pleasant symptoms which wreak havoc with the digestive system … enough said. And it’s more filling. I can personally attest to this after

 conducting a culinary experiment when I guinea-pigged my unsuspecting son, Luke. Rather than making the crowd favorite Chicken and Cream Sauce with a bucket of heavy cream, I substituted Greek yogurt instead, sat back and waited to see if my own El Exigente could tell the difference. Well, well, well, he didn’t. Not only was it healthier, but it filled him up faster. The whirlwind romance with Greek yogurt started in 2007. Sales exploded from 1 percent of the market to 36 percent according to investment firm Alliance Bernstein, with seven year old Chobani the No. 1 producer out of its upstate New York plant. Now a third of all yogurt sold is Greek. “It’s increased in our daily habit more than any other food in the last 10 years,” said Dr. Harry Balzer (Vice President, NPD Group, a consumer marketing research firm). “I can see that, whether it’s in a cup, a tube, tub or bottle it’s all over the place. The dairy shelves are packed with all sorts of yogurts in all sorts of flavors. But still with Greek yogurt, and namely

Chobani, you’re seeing updated flavors like pomegranate, passion fruit, pear, fig and lemon on the shelves.” Last month I had a fleeting thought of producing my own craft beer until I learned it would require propane, a turkey deep-fryer and a month. I thought, hmmm, Greek yogurt I can do, so I did (see results below). Sure you can get a fancy yogurt maker, and yes without one it’s a bit fiddly/tricky, but as long as you have a glass container, oven, thermometer and don’t want that yogurt pronto, it’s ridiculously easy. And sort of exciting … will I get the taste right? What about the consistency? I secretly started thinking I was something of a food scientist by the time I embarked on my second batch. I didn’t go as far as investing in a white coat and hair net, but I did carefully monitor my oven and light. As I said, sort of like a science experiment sans the rubber cement and huge tri-fold boards. Simple, and with an end result you get to eat rather than wonder ... why did I have to do this? M

In a medium saucepan, scald (simmering around the edges) 4 cups of milk and let cool to 110°F. Whisk in the cultured yogurt/bacteria. Transfer milk mixture into a glass container. Turn oven on “keep warm” for 5 minutes then turn off. Keep the light on and place container in oven. Keep mixture warm at 108-110°F for 4-12 hours (the longer in, the more tart the yogurt becomes). Strain yogurt over a bowl covered with cheesecloth (use rubber bands to secure cloth around rim). Refrigerate and let drain for at least two hours. The longer it drains, the thicker the yogurt will be. Store in the fridge in an airtight container.

Results:

first batch After remaining in the oven for 10 hours, the first batch was very light, fresh tasting and after draining for 4 hours had a thickish texture, but was not as smooth as I would have liked and a little cottage cheesy in looks. I also would have preferred a more tart yogurt. I think the oven became too hot when I panicked and thought it was too cold, so I turned it back on to warm … I’m guessing a rookie yogurt mistake, and easily solved with an oven thermometer.

Results:

Second batch Got it spot on! I trusted the process. I heated the oven on warm for 5 minutes. I left the yogurt in the oven with only the light on for 15 hours. It looked just right. I left it to strain in the fridge for 3 hours. The result was a thick, creamy, tart Greek yogurt … just what I was looking for.

Would I do it again? While not as easy as making ice, it’s not as hard as creating the perfect soufflé. And, yes, I will certainly make it again, especially if I have milk in the fridge that’s about to expire. May 2013

By Lance Hanlin

A member of the thistle family, the artichoke can be an intimidating vegetable to look at. The immature spiky buds from the dinosaur-like plant have long been a staple of Mediterranean cuisine, used in main dishes, side dishes, appetizers, soups, dips, sauces and more. Here at home, though, many bypass fresh artichoke in the produce section in favor of the canned variety sitting on store shelves. That decision is based on one of three questions: How do you cook them? How do you eat them? What can you do with them? With artichoke season in full swing, now is the perfect time to find out. “You can actually eat a lot of the artichoke, even though it does look quite intimidating,” said Lindsay Martin, a wellness coach and dietitian at Hilton Head Health. “From a nutrition standpoint, it’s exceptionally good for cardiovascular and digestive health.” Artichokes are a rich source of Vitamin C, Vitamin K, potassium and fiber. Plus, they have more antioxidants (believed to fight cancer-causing cells) than red wine or chocolate. 166

Most are grown in California and the peak season is April through June, when they are widely available in local grocery stores. The edible buds are a tight cluster of individual leaves arranged around a central “choke,” which protects the tender heart of the vegetable. They come in various sizes, ranging from a golf ball to a softball. “The leaves themselves can be eaten, but you would have to steam or boil them,” Martin said. “Those outside leaves have a pointed end so you need to snip those off before cooking. The most flavorful part, the part most people enjoy, is the artichoke heart.” To reach the heart, Martin suggests tearing away the outer leaves with a pairing knife until you are left with just the center of the bud. The fuzzy choke sits on top of the heart. “You actually don’t want to eat the choke,” Martin said. “You want to take a spoon and scrape that out.” You will be left with the heart, which will be either light green or white in color. Much like an avocado, it will quickly brown after being introduced to air. To bring the natural color back, Martin recommends boiling the heart

with a bit of lemon and salt. Once prepared, the cooking options are endless. “There is a lot of really good things you can do with them,” Martin said. “We like to use them on fresh pizza and we make a very good spinach artichoke dip.” The H3 Healthy Kitchen is now offering Chef’s Table multicourse menus inspired by flavors from around the world. One of the starters from “Italy: A Night in

Umbria” is a roasted artichoke and cipollini onion salad, topped with a balsamic glaze. “It’s really, really good and (artichokes) are exceptionally good for you,” Martin said. “It seems like there is a lot of work for one little artichoke heart, but at the end of the day, they’re totally worth it.” Many recipes including artichoke can be found on the Hilton Head Health blog, www.H3daily. com.

Potato (May through August): All of Europe's potato crop in the 19th century came from two plants brought from the New World by the Spanish. Zucchini (May through October): Here's an Italian lesson from Wikipedia: "Zucca" is the Italian word for squash and "zucchina" is its diminutive, becoming "zucchine" in the plural. However, "zucchino", the masculine form, becoming "zucchini" in the plural, is commonly used in the dialect of Tuscany.

The FEED A heaping helping of the latest news in area restaurants. The Frosty Frog Café in Coligny Plaza hopes to debut its new outside deck with a soft opening this month. General manager Shaun Brockway said the outdoor addition to the popular café could be open as soon as the first weekend in May. The deck is adding close to 100 seats to the restaurant. More than 80 percent of it will be covered by a retractable roof. There will also be a beach-like area, geared to patrons coming straight from the beach. Brockway said once the deck is open, the café will host live acoustic music seven nights a week. Chef Anish Gopinath of Fusion restaurant won the Iron Chef Challenge at the 2013 Seafood Fest at Shelter Cove. Gopinath’s winning appetizer was an almond encrusted oyster with oyster stew and mango chutney. His winning entrée was a blackened seared flounder with truffle infused grits, citrus sauce and vegetables. Both items are served at Fusion, located at 14 Greenwood Drive. A new American restaurant called Grille Forty Six is opening at 5 Godrey Place in Bluffton. The restaurant, located on Highway 46, will serve lunch, dinner and a late night menu seven days a week. Live music will be offered on weekends. The bar will feature more than 60 draft beers. The grand opening will soon be announced online at www.grillefortysix.com. The Dirty Martini Lounge & Bistro is now open for business at 1050 Fording Island in Bluffton, next to the Target shopping center. The new night spot is a cozy martini bar with a big-city feel. Hours are 5 p.m. to 2 a.m. Monday through Saturday. Please tip generously By sharing restaurant news with thefeed@ hiltonheadmonthly.com. May 2013

Numbers that tell a story

OR ONCE I RESORT TO NUMBERS INSTEAD OF WORDS TO TELL A STORY. Each of these numbers stands symbolically for something much larger and hopefully gets you to think about what it means or could mean. Send me your favorite number by e-mailing marc@hiltonheadmonthly and I will make sure it gets posted. M

POVERTY. MARC FREY CEO

Since 1990, extreme poverty around the world has been cut in half, according to the United Nations. Enrollment in primary education in developing regions reached 90 percent in 2010 and maternal mortality rates have been reduced by 47 percent within the past 23 years. However, 870 million people remain hungry, 61 million children are not in school and maternal mortality remains 15 times greater in developing regions than in the developed world. There’s still plenty of work to be done.

TAG. YOU’RE IT.

MAKE A BUCK, LOSE A BUCK. BEFORE YOU KNOW, IT AMOUNTS TO REAL MONEY.

3.2 billion New messages posted daily on the Internet according to an estimate by IBM (who is trying to harness this growing mountain of information).

DISPLACED PEOPLE.

1 million The

estimated number of Syrian refuges.

14 thousand and growing The Dow Jones

index number as of press time. Remember, we were in that territory five years ago!

CONNECTED WORLD.

2 billion. The amount of minutes Skype users

use to connect with each other every day.

DO CRIME STATS TELL A STORY?

USA

It seems a little odd that a company whose business model is centered on the virtual and connected world would spend $5,000 million on a physical infrastructure (the estimated cost of the new Apple ‘space camp campus’).

MORE AND MORE INFORMATION.

6 degrees of separation. In 1967, American

psychologist Stanley Milgram conducted an experiment which led to the conclusion that any random person is only separated by another random person in the United States in average by six people. A recent experiment conducted through social media networks reported a random person can be tagged in about 12 hours.

NO ORDINARY OFFICE BUILDING.

SOUTH KOREA.

THE REAL COST OF TERRORISM. In the aftermath of the 9/11 Twin Tower attacks, we mounted “Operation Iraqi Freedom” and “Operation Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan).” As of April 23, 2013, 7,115 U.S. citizens were lost and 50,344 wounded (according to Department of Defense statistics).

PRIVACY. A THING OF THE PAST. Through a court order, a European student was able to enforce a request for Google to produce a report that listed everything the company had on him. He was given 1,222 pages worth of information… (Currently in the United States, Google is not required by law to make these reports available. California and other states are working to change that.)
