Sustainable, attainable housing the focus of town-owned tract By Tim Wood CONTRIBUTOR
For years, vocal members of the island workforce community have felt leaders have paid mere lip service to the need for truly affordable workforce housing. But there is reason for hope, as town leaders have taken steps to put real actions behind previous sound bites to push the hope toward reality. In late February, Hilton Head Island Town Manager Marc Orlando laid out a plan for a public-private partnership strategy to develop workforce housing on more than 12 acres of town-owned land near the North End post office. Town Council approved the plan in early March and gave the go-ahead to pursue the public-private partnership
idea. “Town staff spent considerable time evaluating and cataloging allowable uses for each parcel of Town-owned land, and reviewing recommendations included within our comprehensive plan and our strategic plan,” Orlando said of the proposal. “We’ve also studied demographic and housing data and support a public-private partnership to advance Town Council housing goals. We are looking for a partner who shares our vision and can help increase the affordable housing supply on the Island.” Ward 5 Town Council member Tom Lennox called the move “a watershed moment” for the island. But beyond the words, leaders are

Local celebrities, sights featured in live ‘3rd Hour of Today’ By Gwyneth J. Saunders CONTRIBUTOR
It was a picture-perfect day to show off the Lowcountry as the co-hosts of NBC’s “3rd Hour of Today” brought their live show May 20 to a beach in Sea Pines Resort on Hilton Head Island.

Columbia native Craig Melvin has been bragging about the Lowcountry for years, and this location was chosen to kick off the program’s “Best Summer Ever” vacation promotion. Production took place under sunny skies with a cooling breeze that kept the heat at bay as Al Roker, Sheinelle Jones, Dylan Scout Troop 245 celebrates 50th anniversary June 14 22A
Dreyer and Melvin made repeated trips to and from their temporary residence to the beachside set for each piece of the hour-long program. The production was sponsored by VRBO, a vacation rental company that promises experiences vastly different from a hotel. The property from which the production

SUNNY SIDE UP
Some internet sensations are just not meant for us elders By Lynne Cope Hummell EDITOR
Just when I think I have a handle on all the weirdness life can throw out, along comes a concept that blows my feeble mind. It was a typical weekend evening after dinner, and I was looking for something new and binge-worthy on the four streaming services available in our household. The line “follow these reporters” caught my eye as I scrolled through Netflix, so of course I had to follow up. Oddly enough, the series is titled “Follow This.” Featured are various reporters for BuzzFeed and some of their intriguing, unusual, niche-market stories about quirky topics – rehab for tech addicts, Amish romance, teen influencers, modesty couture and others. For those who don’t know, BuzzFeed is, according to its website, “a global news organization providing original online reporting and video programming across
the internet’s biggest platforms.” In 2021, the organization won the Pulitzer Prize in international reporting. It claims to employ more than 100 journalists in 10 big cities around the world. All that to point out that these reporters are the real deal. They are not actors, though the reporters I watched seemed very comfortable on camera. But back to the weird concepts. In the first episode that I watched (Part 1, episode 1), 29-year-old reporter Scaachi Koul interviewed proponents of an internet trend called “ASMR,” or autonomous sensory meridian response. I didn’t know what that meant, but I wanted to learn. Koul’s first interview was with Maria Viktorovna, a pretty young woman who whispers, in her lovely Russian accent, into the microphone while staring into her camera with her bright eyes and perfect smile, at the same time she’s rubbing a piece of fabric or plinking the bristles on a hairbrush. I could barely hear her (she whispers,
remember?), so of course I turned up the volume. That was my first clue that this trend is probably not for me. At first, I thought Maria might be heading off the deep end toward some kind of creepy fetish behavior, but that wasn’t it at all. It was simply creepy. When I looked up Maria’s “Gentle Whispering” YouTube channel, I discovered she has 2.18 million subscribers. Clicking through some of her videos, I saw they had view counts from 300,000 up to 36 million – and that one was about a sleep-inducing haircut. Pardon me? Apparently, the point of ASMR is to induce a sedative sensation by making slow moves or soft sounds on camera meant to relax the viewer. Some people are said to get warm fuzzy feelings and tingling in the spine. They “get it.” But soft brushing and whispering aren’t the only techniques ASMR video makers use for their viewers. Some makers use tapping techniques, clicks, slurping, and crinkling
paper to engage their viewers. If you’re thinking all this is some scientific breakthrough in stress reducing psychology, think again. There is no research behind it – nothing scientific at all. It began on the internet in about 2010 with young people who started a Facebook group for people who had stumbled onto this “complex emotional state” and wanted to connect with others who “get it.” Koul interviewed a scientist, but all he could say was “ASMR was probably the first psychological phenomenon that was discovered by internet users rather than scientists.” Apparently this phenomenon is gaining followers by the millions. Google’s Consumer Insights found in 2016 that there were 5.2 million ASMR videos online. When you’re finished reading this and start your own search, know that “ASMR” is a more popular search term on Google than “candy” or “chocolate.” Let me know if it blows your mind too.

CONTRIBUTOR
Hilton Head Island homeowners who qualify can get help with home repairs and sewer connections through two new programs the Town Council recently approved. The first is our Home Safety and Repair Program, and the second is our Sewer Connection Program. John McCann Both are designed to help residents who lack the resources to pay for necessary repairs to make their homes safe and livable and to tap into the island’s public sewer system. We were able to put these programs in place thanks to funds the Town received through federal government’s American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). This legislation provides funding to local governments to help them respond to the COVID-19 public health emergency. During this public health crisis, we know there are residents who were unable to work and experienced job, food,
and home insecurities. We felt these programs could help reduce the financial burden of making home repairs and improve their living conditions. The Town received $5 million of ARPA funding. Of that, we earmarked $400,000 for resident home repairs and $200,000 for sewer connection grants. Through the Home Repair and Safety Program, the Town will provide grants to residents for repairs to make their homes safe and dry. They can also use grants to remove unsafe and uninhabited structures from their residential properties, and to assist with trimming and removing dead or diseased trees from their properties. To receive a grant, applicants must meet income guidelines and other criteria. We are partnering with the Lowcountry Council of Governments to verify income. Having access to sewer is the best way for property owners to protect their family and community from pollution and property damage caused by failing septic tanks. For many years, property owners who qualified had access to grants for sewer connection through Project SAFE – Sewer Access for Everyone.
The Town’s program will be a supplement to Project SAFE. Funds will be used to assist property owners living on the island who have not yet connected to existing sanitary sewer systems due to financial limitations. Through Project SAFE, Hilton Head Island PSD has connected 95% of customers’ homes in the north- and mid-island sections of Hilton Head to the public sewer system. We hope those homeowners in need will use available resources to connect to sewer. For sewer connections, we are partnering with the Deep Well Project, which is promoting the program to its clients; the Lowcountry Council of Governments, which is verifying income; and Hilton Head Island PSD, which is installing the sewer connections. With implementation of these two programs, we hope to improve the quality of life for our residents. Missy Luick, a planner for the Town, will oversee both programs. For more information, contact her at MissyL@ hiltonheadislandsc.gov. John McCann is the mayor of the Town of Hilton Head Island. JohnM@hiltonheadislandsc.gov
Letter to the Editor To the Editor: The Bluffton Veteran’s Memorial was created in partnership with the Town of Bluffton and Bluffton American Legion Auxiliary. The purpose of the Memorial was to create a place within the Town that recognized the service and sacrifices of all military veterans from all wars and conflicts. The hope was that it would become a place of solace and remembrance, a special park to honor and respect loved ones. The placing of personalized bricks at the site as one way to support the construction of the Memorial has become
a vital procedure for the Auxiliary to pay forward on its obligation to the Town and to generally enhance the overall presentation of the park. The cost of each individual brick is $100 for three lines of messaging, containing 14 characters for each line (spaces count). Payment or requests for an application should be mailed to Veterans’ Memorial, PO Box 1933, Bluffton SC 29910. As of this writing, more than 400 bricks have been placed at the Memorial, with room for at least 400 more. Please consider helping the Auxiliary continue to support this Memorial by
purchasing a brick to honor or remember a loved one. Kay Ranta Chaplain American Legion Auxiliary, Unit 205

2021-2022 legislative session ended … sort of By Jeff Bradley CONTRIBUTOR
When the clock struck 5 p.m. on May 12, “Sine Die” went into effect, marking the end of the 2021-2022 legislative session. “Sine die” is Latin for “without a day” – to describe an adjournment when the date to reconvene is not specified. For us it means the House Jeff Bradley is adjourned without specifying a specific date, but we all know that there are still a few things that need to be settled before a new legislature takes over following November’s general election. This year, we made sure that we will return to pass a new state budget (once details are finalized), and we will
review any gubernatorial vetoes. Furthermore, we included a provision that allows us to return to debate legislation in reaction to a decision of the United States Supreme Court in the case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. If, as anticipated, Dobbs overturns Roe v. Wade and pushes decisions on abortion to the states, the South Carolina General Assembly can return to accomplish what proponents intended with the Fetal Heartbeat Bill. To summarize our past session, it was primarily one of tax cuts in the House. I was proud to vote for an extensive tax cut plan that was designed specifically with the average South Carolina taxpayer in mind. We carefully calculated each dollar, putting to use the historic surpluses we had available due to years of conservative budgeting and planning. The House budget was focused
Diana McDougall Low Country Regional President
around what we called the Four R’s: Increasing reserves and roads (plus other infrastructure) while providing raises for teachers and first responders, as well as more than $1 billion in tax relief. Once passed, our House bill was sent to the Senate, where senators, as they often do, developed their own version. Given the differences, the House and Senate will each send three delegates to meet in a conference committee where they will reconcile the differences to write a final budget that best serves our state. During our final week we also formed a conference committee to finalize legislation that promises school choice to thousands of South Carolina families who might not have had the resources to previously enjoy educational freedom. This is a program I have been advocating for nearly six years.
Beth Birdwell
SVP, Senior Business Relationship Manager
Kenneth Maguire SVP Commercial Lender
The legislation will furnish scholarships to eligible students to put toward tuition and other school expenses so they can attend a private school of their choosing. As most parents know, students are not all alike, and many often have unique learning abilities and sometimes standard public education cannot meet an individual student’s needs. I was also pleased to see foster care expanded, with the House giving a final vote to a bill allowing for “fictive kin” to be eligible foster parents under the Kinship Foster Care Program. A “fictive kin” means an individual not related by birth, adoption or marriage to a child, but who has an emotionally significant relationship with the child or the child’s family. Jeff Bradley is the representative for District 123 in the State House of Representatives.

HOUSING from page 1A excited to see meaningful change in progress. “I have to give a lot of credit to Marc and his staff. They heard us in terms of what our priorities were from his Day One and they have given us a path to go from zero to 60 mph on making this a reality,” said Ward 1 Town Council member Alex Brown, a long-time vocal advocate in helping the town make this issue a priority. “We have requests for proposals and qualifications out on the streets, we’re having strong conversations with potential partners, and I see it firsthand that we are truly realizing what’s possible here. “Affordable housing, workforce housing, it has this negative label, like it creates housing that residents don’t want in their backyard,” Brown said. “We’re talking about sustainable community neighborhoods here, period. You create that, you set in motion a chain reaction of positivity that incentivizes our workforce into becoming long-term residents and stewards of island life instead of it just being a paycheck.”
The economic shift from properties that were long-term rentals to shortterm and vacation rentals has been a boon for some, but further heightened the crisis of truly attainable inventory for both potential new residents and a workforce that has zero interest in time-consuming, costly commutes. “We’re very excited to see that town staff, administration and leadership has made this a foremost priority,” said Lee Lucier, COO of the Richardson Group. “We’re passionate about our community, I’ve raised my family here, J.R. (Richardson) and his family have been forces in building this community for 60-plus years, but we are at a crossroads here. Attainable housing is essential to attract the next generation of islanders that sustain the long-term future of what we hold so dear.” “We are talking about the long-term here. We have a crisis in the shortterm, but addressing attainable housing and getting this bridge project right are at the two issues at the core of what our future will be here,” said J.R.
Richardson, owner of the Richardson Group. “We have got to be creative and meaningful in making these changes and evolving our approach here. “This impacts resident way of life, this impacts tourism and our ability to provide the level of service that will continue to attract the quality of tourists we have become known for, Richardson said. “Folks say it’s going to cost too much money to address, but it would have been cheaper if we’d dealt with this 20 years ago and it will be cheaper to properly get ahead of this now than 20 years down the road.” The Richardson Group built the first two commercial-to-residential conversions on the island in years with One Park Lane and the 7 Lagoon Road projects, two communities that have attracted a diverse microcosm of the local economy – from bankers to teachers to project managers and food and beverage staff. The company’s restaurants on Hilton Head don’t open until 4 p.m. because they can’t risk working their quality
staffers too hard. A town study done two years ago showed that 80% of island long-term rentals were priced at $1,500 or more per month, while the average wage for workers was just $1,200 per month. The pandemic, supply chain issues and inflation over the past 24 months have created a wider gap in those statistics. “They’re facing upside-down numbers in terms of the costs of housing and how it fits into their monthly budget. It is not attainable,” Lucier said. “So the conversation is creating communities with parks and walking trails and child care and commercial outlets. We’re not just talking about buildings here. It’s a full shift in how we turn a problem into a solution.” The hope is that the 12-acre tract is the test balloon that proves the viability of a public-private partnership in not just addressing the housing issues, but in creating connected districts. The issue was at the forefront of

Local scout assists in flag collection boxes installation Each year Hilton Head Island Fire Rescue receives many worn and tattered American flags that are dropped off at Headquarters and fire stations for proper disposal. The flags are collected, and a flag retirement ceremony is held each year on Flag Day. The ceremony includes Fire Rescue, the Boy Scouts and the American Legion. Fire Rescue recently worked with Eagle Scout candidate Peter Rougeux to complete his Eagle Scout community service project. The project installed flag drop boxes for older and tattered American Flags that need to be retired correctly. The drop boxes are located at three locations: • Fire Rescue Headquarters, 40 Summit Drive (mid-island, near the airport) • Behind Fire Station No. 1, off Executive Park Drive (off Pope Avenue, south end) • Fire Station No. 5, 20 Whooping Crane Way, at the front gate of Hilton Head Plantation, north end To earn the rank of Eagle Scout, among other requirements, a scout must complete a community-focused project that requires leadership and organizational skills. Only a small percentage of scouts achieve the coveted Eagle Scout rank. “It was great to work with Peter to ac-

complish this goal to help him achieve the Eagle Scout rank,” said Deputy Fire Chief Joheida Fister. “Peter participated in the flag retirement ceremonies held at the Fire Rescue Training Center, so this project was a perfect match.”
HOUSING from page 10A the May 24 Town Council workshop, where concepts for developing the mid-island tract were presented. Beyond the park development at the former Planter’s Row Golf Course, there is a hope that the surrounding areas from Hilton Head Airport to the Mathews Drive intersection with U.S. 278 can evolve into a new-concept district that is the blueprint for the next generation of island living. “Connectivity is the key. Let’s connect this 12-acre project through pathways and parks that gives residents a full lifestyle with homes and commercial outlets and green spaces,” Brown said. “That’s what we heard and that’s the goal. Marc says we can have true shovels in the ground to start this in motion by 2023. That is essential and we all
believe it’s doable.” Town staff have said that initial response from local developers has been extremely positive. The key now is picking from the interested partners to find the best match for the town’s scope for the project. “Let’s make sure we are creating the right neighborhood and not just maxing out the number of units that could be added,” Orlando said while sharing a vision for a sustainable community design for housing. “We want to make sure we create a resilient neighborhood and add value to Hilton Head Island.” Tim Wood is a veteran journalist based in Bluffton.

TODAY from page 1A While where they stayed was impressive, what the four co-hosts were enthusiastic was what they had experienced during their visit. Their short stay was packed with activities that most vacationers enjoy during their visit. “A really good question is why we’re here. And I think, for so long around the country, we haven’t been able to travel like we wanted to, but slowly but surely things are opening back up,” said Jones. “And what better place to kick off a road trip and hit the skies and show America our beautiful country than to come to a place like this? It is absolutely gorgeous.” Al Roker concurred. “We wanted to have the best summer kick-off ever. What better place than to be here. We get to hang out with folks and show them that this is really one of the most beautiful spots in the country, and here we are,” he said. Dreyer had a couple of unique experiences as part of the production. “It’s also special because you know with the Today show, they do things right. So when we get here, we get to check off all
the things you would want to do when you come here,” she said. “Granted, we do it in a short period of time, but we got to go fishing. I got to hunt for turtle nests. We ate delicious food. I got to swing at Harbour Town Golf Links, which was just absolutely gorgeous. I wish I could play all 18 holes.” The day before the live production, like most tourists, the four checked of a variety of activities. They went out on a charter fishing boat (and finally caught a fish) and were thrilled and surprised to find their boat escorted by some dolphins. After enjoying drinks and a meal at a Harbour Town restaurant, they trekked up the 114 steps to the top of the lighthouse, which was specially decorated with a huge “Welcome Today” sign. “And it was all in three hours,” Jones said. “You know, it’s funny because we come every year, and so a lot of the things that we did yesterday was kind of the things we do every summer, but it was nice getting to do those things with my friends,” Melvin said. “They’ve heard me talk about South Carolina for about a decade now. And so to have them come down and see up close what all

created in homage to a man who made a very special impact” on the distillery’s co-founder. “Authentic Lowcountry spirits have a story to tell that honors local history. And everything is 100% sourced here in South Carolina,” he told the TV audience. Bourbon wasn’t the only thing locally sourced. Early in the day, Dylan had an opportunity to hunt for sea turtle nests with Sea Turtle Patrol Hilton Head and a unique experience with the patrol. They discovered a rare green turtle nest – only the sixth in the past 30 years. Charleston native Lenard Larry McKelvey, known professionally as Charlamagne tha God, is a long-time friend of Melvin’s. Currently the co-host of the nationally syndicated radio show “The Breakfast Club,” he is also on the board of Charleston’s new International African American Museum. Melvin and McKelvey were both on the 2005 Top 10 Under 30 list of South Carolina residents. There is always food involved in the 3rd Hour, and Lowcountry specialties from local chefs were front and center. Chef Orchid Paulmeier of Bluffton, owner of One Hot Mama’s American Grill, served up hickory smoked barbecue sandwiches; Andrew Carmines, of Hudson’s Seafood House on the Docks, served deviled crab made with the sweeter, less frequently used claw meat; and Gullah Geechee Chef B.J.
Dennis served his Geechee-style fried okra and shrimp and red rice, or tomato purloo. It was a happy coincidence that May 20 was also Melvin’s 43rd birthday, and he celebrated with a surprise visit from his parents and brother, a cake from Signe’s Heaven Bound Bakery & Cafe on Hilton Head, and a serenade by the cast, crew and audience. And that audience was as enthusiastic about the visitors as the 3rd Hour team were about being on Hilton Head. These were dedicated 3rd Hour of Today fans who had been instructed to check in at the Sea Pines Trolley pick-up location in Celebration Park by 6:45 a.m. Even though they knew they would be standing on the beach from about 7:30 to 10 a.m. (with no bathroom availability), they were willing to do that to see their broadcasters and watch the show. Comia Flynn and Martha Sabol from Savannah, Georgia, and Vanessa Coker from Hilton Head Island signed up to be part of the audience because they are fans of “Today,” recalling the days when Barbara Walters and Hugh Downs were the co-hosts. “I’ve been watching it since I was a child. And I absolutely love Al, but don’t tell everybody,” Flynn laughed. “I’m just looking forward to meeting them and just seeing what’s going on today.” Gwyneth J.

Island-wide call to action drew 500 Earth Day volunteers
COURTESY OUTSIDE FOUNDATION
Earth-conscious people of all ages participated in cleaning up Coligny Beach on Earth Day 2022.
By Jessi Renew CONTRIBUTOR
On April 22, in celebration of Earth Day, about 500 locals and visitors showed up at beaches, parks and other natural spaces to collect trash. Earth Day is the anniversary of the birth of the modern environmental movement. The call to action had been sent out for an island-wide litter sweep. All types of organizations and groups were invited to participate by planning a sweep at their location of choice and registering their sweep on earthdayhhi.com, where it was posted for volunteers to pick a time and location of their choice. In all, 23 sweeps took place at 18 locations around the island and in Bluffton. All were asked to tag their posts, photos and videos on social media with the hashtag #EARTHDAYHHI. A total of 127 bags of trash were collected, equaling an astonishing 758 pounds of garbage. Commemorative T-shirts for the event were created by members of Pockets Full of Sunshine and are still available by request. The Outside Foundation would like
to thank their partner organizations in this effort, including: Turtle Trackers chapters, Town of Hilton Head Island, Hilton Head Island-Bluffton Chamber of Commerce, Pockets Full of Sunshine, Marriott Vacation Club, Sonesta, Coastal Discovery Museum, Litter Control Beaufort County, Westin Hilton Head, Tanglewood Owners, Pulseology, Hilton Head Elementary, Palmetto Dunes/Leamington POA, Beaufort County Junior Leadership, Bailey Point Lane Peeps and Outside Brands. The Outside Foundation is a 501(C) (3) nonprofit organization with the mission to get kids outside and protect and preserve our local eco-system. The Foundation operates the Kids in Kayaks program, ORRBI oyster recycling initiative, the annual Keep the Broad Creek Clean Festival, #EarthDayHHI, The OluKai Lowcountry Boil Paddle Battle, along with regular litter clean-ups of beaches, parks and waterways, and community education and awareness initiatives.

Nature-loving teachers quit day jobs to teach kids about nature By Lynne Cope Hummell EDITOR
What happens when two friends who are veteran educators decide at the same time that it’s time to leave the classroom and spend more time in nature? Bebe Cifaldi, a teacher for 26 years, most recently at Hilton Head Elementary School for the Creative Arts, said she decided in April to retire at the end of the school year. “Life is too short,” she said of her decision to try out a new venture. She told her friend Karen Penale, a teacher for 25 years, most recently at Cross Schools in Bluffton, about her decision, and within a couple of days, Penale too decided to leave the classroom. The two have created WonderFun Learning Outdoor Education, which will offer summer nature camps, field trips for students in all schools – including homeschools – south of the Broad, and adult education programs about all things nature. “Within two weeks, we had our name, our LLC, a workspace in a building next to
Horn, or paid attention to a salt marsh,” Cifaldi said. The women have plans for nature walks, bird watching, native plant identification, kayak tours, loggerhead turtle talks and more. “We want to do some citizen scientist proBebe Cifaldi, left, and Karen Penale have been friends for 25 years and grams with them, teachers for a combined total of 51 years.

local Audubon Club. The WonderFun programs are modeled after the South Carolina Master Naturalist program through Clemson University, a 12-week training, plus volunteer service for anyone who wants to learn more about protecting, conserving and promoting awareness of the state’s natural resources. “The Master Naturalist program changed my life,” Penale said. “Mine too,” said Cifaldi. Summer camps, with a limit of 16 students each, begin in July and continue through August, and are held Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The first camp is July 18-22, for rising fourth through sixth grades, with another camp for that age group Aug. 1-5. July 25-29 will be for rising seventh and eighth grades, and Aug. 8-12 is for rising first and second grades. All camps are first come, first served. Cost is $200 per camper, with some scholarships available. For more information, call 843310-4899 or email wonderfunlearning@ gmail.com.

Scout Troop 245 marks 50 years Since 1972, Boy Scout Troop 245 on Hilton Head Island has helped thousands of local boys and young men build character, develop leadership and serve their community. Troop 245 accomplished this through fun in the outdoors to include hiking, camping, rock climbing, mountain biking, whitewater rafting, boating, fishing, shooting sports and more. These scouts have gone on to become good citizens and leaders in their communities. They bring with them the values of scouting, embodied in the Scout Law, which states “a Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent.”
Of the thousands who have enjoyed the scouting experience with Troop 245, more than 100 have achieved the rank of Eagle Scout – arguably the most significant award a young person can earn! To celebrate this amazing half century of success, Troop 245 will host a special 50th Anniversary Court of Honor from 6 to 8 p.m. June 14 at Honey Horn Plantation – interestingly, the site of their very first Scout Meeting. If you are a former scout, leader or supporter of Troop 245, please contact them to help complete the history and RSVP by visiting troop245scouts.com/ RSVP50 or email michaelflood87@gmail. com.

It’s the middle of mating season for Lowcountry alligators, and humans would be wise to learn more about their carnivorous neighbors and leave them alone, according to a man who has been working with the creatures since 1985.

The spring mating “stroll” is simply alligators “doing what alligators do,” Maffo said. And he doesn’t want humans nor their pets to get hurt by inadvertently getting the gators’ way. “Just leave them alone. They don’t know any better. Their brains are the size of a pea,” Maffo said. “They are not our friends, but they’re not our enemies either. We can all live here together.” Maffo’s daughter, Dana, and son, Kiki, work with him, as well as his grandchildren, Morgan and Joey, in all kinds of wild animal situations, from abandoned baby raccoons to rats in an attic to the giant gators, with a healthy dose of snake removals.

GATORS from page 24A piensis) can grow up to 15 feet long and weigh up to 1,000 pounds. Their average lifetime in the wild is 35 to 50 years. Various scientists say the species is thought to be 150 million to 250 million years old, “managing to avoid extinction 65 million years ago when their contemporaries, the dinosaurs, died off,” as National Geographic noted. Maffo and his family are continually trying to educate the public so they can be aware of the dangers inherent with wildlife, especially the gators. They host educational presentations for schools, camps, and other groups whenever they are asked. “The first thing to know is, don’t feed them,” Maffo said. Alligators are smart enough to equate humans with food, he said, and that’s dangerous. On that note, grandson Joey said, “For how small their brains are, it’s weird how smart they are.” While alligators’ natural instincts are to avoid people, they learn that people are feeding them, which normalizes the behavior for the reptile, which in turn is dangerous to humans. “They get com-
fortable around people and lose their God-given fear,” Maffo said. DNR has placed signed near lagoons warning humans of the danger – and the fact that feeding, harassing or killing the creatures is unlawful. The signs incorporate Maffo’s slogan, “A fed gator is a dead gator.” Whenever DNR calls him to remove a nuisance gator, that animal must be euthanized. When a gator is spotted in a local waterway, humans are advised to watch it from a safe distance, but they shouldn’t try to catch it. “I hate to see tourists feeding them and then trying to catch them,” Maffo said. He said he found 176 fishing lures inside one 13-foot alligator that had been COURTESY CRITTER MANAGEMENT harvested from Jarvis Creek Park on HilJoey Maffo works to wrangle a nuisance alliton Head Island. “People had been feeding gator while his grandfather, Joe Maffo, gives advice him. He had also eaten a soccer ball,” Maffo said. Next, people should be hyper-aware of the edge of lagoons, rivers and ditches, their surroundings, especially at night and especially when walking a dog.” especially during mating season. “Always A barking dog can attract an alligator, take a flashlight when walking at night,” Maffo said. Small pets are prime prey for Maffo said, “and don’t ever walk close to gators, and it’s vital to note that a pea-
brained alligator doesn’t know the difference between a dog and a small child. Maffo’s last bit of advice is this: “If something goes into the water, don’t go in after it.” This is because of his final point: “Always assume there’s a gator in a body of water – even a ditch.” And even the May River and Skull Creek, where gators have been seen and photographed often in the past several years. Alligators sometimes wander into the ocean as well. “They go into the ocean to heal, to travel, to clean themselves and to explore,” Joey said. What should people do when they see an alligator strolling through the neighborhood? “Do not approach it. Leave it alone, and call the authorities,” Maffo said. “He’s most likely looking for a girlfriend.” The best protocol is to call security if it’s a gated community, or call Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office. They are knowledgeable in handling such situations and will call Maffo if needed. “I love alligators,” Maffo said. “They just want to be survivors.”

Casino Royale: The Return of Prom for the Class of 2022 By: Landon B, Caleb S, Lilly F, Andrew J, Leah A, and Jessica S.
Prom returned to HHIHS on Saturday April 22, 2022 after two years of cancellation due to the COVID 19 pandemic. The theme this year was “Casino Royale” and featured different aspects of a casino inspired night through the decorations and desserts.
Mr. Wall said, "this is different from any prom we have had before given that we have not had one in two years. This new outside addition will also help the dance have more ventilation in and out of the school."
According to the prom coordinator, Mr. Wall, “the invitations were casino themed. They were oversized playing cards.” There was an inside and outside area to “give students different things to enjoy throughout the night."
Prom was a very successful night with over 400 students in attendance. Seniors Matthew Larkby and Leah Anderson were crowned Prom King and Queen. Students and staff enjoyed the return of prom and are looking forward to prom next year!

The Ukraine Project: A follow up Story by: Laurel Hawkins and Amy Broome As Russia’s invasion of Ukraine entered the third month, students and faculty at Hilton Head Island High School increased their efforts to offer their support to the nation in need. The invasion continued to impact an increasing number of Ukrainians. Since Russia’s invasion on February 24th, 2022, almost 3,000 Ukrainian civilians have been killed, and an additional 7.1 million have been displaced without the necessary means to survive. With this massive exodus from the country, schools have been forced to close, leaving over 350,000 students without access to education. Worldwide efforts have been enacted to help combat this educational crisis, from global organizations in the United Nations to local efforts like those made at Hilton Head Island High School. T-shirts: As part of the “United With Ukraine” effort at the high school, students worked with a local t-shirt company to design a t-shirt. The shirt has the names of the International Baccalaureate sister schools in Ukraine, as well as the IB mission statement. T-shirts were sold before school to students and staff, and proceeds from the sales went to UNICEF. Ribbons: Along with the t-shirts, students also made blue and yellow ribbons. The ribbons were given to anyone who donated $2.00 or more. The ribbons allowed students to show their support of the Ukrainian people. Students who purchased a ribbon were allowed to wear pajama pants on Wednesdays. International Night: At the elementary school’s International Night, a few students from the high school had a table to raise awareness for Ukraine. Students created a poster board with facts about Ukraine. One student even made traditional Ukrainian bread. “I had a really great time. I learned a lot, and I think we raised a lot of awareness for Ukraine,” said Victoria Polites (class of 2023), who attended the event. Prayer flags and coloring sheets: Students at the school had the opportunity to color and write messages to Ukrainian students. Students also had the opportunity to contribute to a Tibet prayer flag. This allowed all students to participate during their structured learning time (SLT). HHIHS hopes to eventually send these to the schools in Ukraine.

Arts classes: The art classes took a strong role in showing the school’s solidarity for Ukraine. An art class decorated the large anchor outside the front entrance of the high school to display support for the Ukrainian people. The art classes also created pysankas - a Ukrainian style Easter egg decorated in wax- to show support during the Easter holiday. They held pysankas tutorials after school and funds from those also went to UNICEF. Local news: Several students spoke to the local news station (WSAV), and the Beaufort County News station to discuss the school’s efforts. This was a great way to inform the community of and get more people involved in helping HHIHS’ efforts. HHIHS raised $2,612 for Ukraine; all of the proceeds went to UNICEF. The money raised will be used to help the displaced Ukrainian children who are unable to garner an education due to their displacement. The students and staff at HHIHS will continue to raise money and support for Ukraine through sales and fundraising that will come from the combined efforts and donations of students, staff, and the Hilton Head community. There is also Ukraine Project documentary on the Seahawk News Network YouTube page. If you want to help displaced Ukrainian students, please consider donating to UNICEF.

Renovating The Learning Experience: Coming Summer 2022 by: Alex Coley
Summer is often a time where people make changes for the next year, and Hilton Head Island High School is no different. The summer of 2022 will bring a lot of changes to HHIHS, and the theme of the season is safety!
Mr. Schidrich, principal of HHIHS, outlines the changes that are going to be happening while the students are out for the summer. He says that “we have some blind spots that we want to cover to provide a bit of security...a bit of safety for our students and staff,” and these blind spots are HHIHS’s top priority for the renovations this summer. He goes on to list all the improvements that are going to be made to the building including additional security cameras, bidirectional amplifiers for administrative radios, new bleachers in the gym, and renovations to the front entrance. In his words, these improvements are “definitely [going to] improve safety and keep the building secure,” which is something that all parents want for their children--security. The renovations to the front entrance will make it safer for the ladies at the front desk. Most schools built after 2000 have a "holding tank," or 3 doors of entry before entering a school. This provides an extra layer of defense and time to analyze individuals before allowing them into a school building. The new front entrance will have a form of this "fish tank" layer of security. Although these renovations may seem minor to some, there is a reason. While safety is one of the highest things on HHIHS’s checklist, the school is also trying to think ahead. “When we borrowed the money [from the 2019 Referendum],” Mr. Schidrich explains, “there were plans to upgrade the security and safety of our school, but with the potential for a new referendum in November of 2023, we didn’t want to put something new in the building only to have it knocked down two or three years later,” as that would be “a waste of taxpayers money.”
With these thoughts in mind, the school has chosen to focus on safety instead of improvements that would be included in the new facility, like cosmetic improvements to classrooms and any structural changes. Mr. Schidrich elaborates stating, “the [money] was put on things that will keep us safe [and] will keep our technology similar to other schools.” In regards to why the school is choosing to complete these over the summer, the reasons largely revolve around the COVID-19 pandemic. These renovations were supposed to have occurred during the summer of 2021. However, last summer a lot of materials were not available to the school because of supply shortages. Many of those issues got resolved, but not until school had already started. According to Mr. Schidrich, “[the materials] were available at some point during the school year, and some of these things could have been done during the school year, but that would have been disruptive to the instructional process.” At HHIHS, the focus is on teaching the students as efficiently as possible, so making changes to the learning environment would most likely only distract students from their studies. However, the installation of the bleachers will not be completed until after students return to school. Students, staff, and families of HHIHS are excited as almost all the renovations are predicted to be completed before the start of the 2022-2023 school year. However, in order to bring HHIHS into the 21st century on all modern security measures, technological infrastructures, 21st. century classrooms and building layout, there needs to be a new school building. This is why the November 2023 Referendum is so important to the community, and HHIHS needs the community's help to get a new school building. HHIHS is currently the oldest high school building in Beaufort County, having been built in 1983.
Beaufort County Purple Star: District Military Appreciation Week By: David Hernandez & Emerson Montes Mr. Schidrich said in an email to staff and parents that “the Purple Star School program is designed to help schools respond to the educational and social-emotional challenges military-connected children face during their transition to a new school and keep them on track to be college, workforce, and life-ready." In an interview with The Seahawk Times, Mr. Schidrich said, "every school in the district is encouraged to do Military Appreciation Week and some schools may be doing it a little bit differently, but the whole district is encouraged to do this.”
Hilton Head Island High School participated in this event by doing a spirit week and these were the spirit days: Monday April 18: Support Your Favorite Military Branch of Service Day: Camo Day or favorite Military Branch shirt. Tuesday April 19: Honoring Deployed Service Members Day: Wear Red for Remembering Everyone Deployed Wednesday April 20: ‘Purple Up! For Military Kids’: Wear purple to show support and to thank military children for their strength and sacrifices. (Purple combines each branch’s colors into one: the Air Force, Navy, and Coast Guard all use shades of blue, the Army uses green, and the Marines use red.) Thursday April 21: Red, White and Blue Day Friday April 22: Seahawks Support Our Troops day! Wear favorite Seahawks Shirt. HHIHS supports the military families of Beaufort County. Thank you to all active and retired service members for their service.

International Night: A Multicultural Event at HHIHS by: David Hernandez and Nancy Hernandez Roque International Night was an after school event where people from the community came to visit and see students present information about a country they have chosen, and experience some food and decorations that represent that country.
One student who participated was Nayelis Chirino Bonilla. When they were planning International Night she said, “what I noticed was the school did not have an International Night for a couple of years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, so we wanted to bring it back and make it better."
International Night was a free event that took place on April 28th, from 5-7pm in the cafeteria at Hilton Head Island High School.
There was a DJ who helped with the music at International Night. Nayelis stated, “the DJ was good and there was another man that was playing music and singing."
In order for students to present the information from the country they chose, students were given tables and display boards. The decorations on the tables were up to the students. Decorations included things like flags, tray with food, pictures, items from that country, and music from that country.
Nayelis had a lot of fun with International Night. She said, "the dancing was fun, and we had so much fun." HHIHS hopes to continues to do this event in the future. Of course, the most important experience was trying different foods and learning about different cultures around the world.
In addition to walking around and seeing all the amazing posters, members from the community and from HHIHS played music, made food, and danced. Photo by: Ms. Cassidy

Student artwork installed around HHI by: Amy Ferrer and Nancy Hernandez Roque Students from Hilton Head Island High School painted murals of Hilton Head history and ecology, which is being installed around the island. Students in art classes painted these murals. The town of Hilton Head selected 21 students and their artwork. 11th grader Brittany Romero was one of the students who painted a mural. She said, “creativity and knowing the place I live in” inspired the mural. In the future, HHIHS hopes the elective classes have more activities like this. Brittany said the murals are about “Hilton Head Island and what I think of Hilton Head in order to show the island in my own way." Brittany's mural "has a different design and meaning. The colors represent peace, calm, beach days etc. the shells represent the different ones you can find on the island." She hopes the murals inspire “tourists, or really everyone who lives here, including myself." In an email to parents and staff, HHIHS principal, Mr. Schidrich wrote, "the semester 1/painting 1 students collaborated with the Town of Hilton Head on a public art installation. The mini murals are being installed around the walking path at Jarvis Creek Park, at the Sailing & Rowing Center, and at the Island Rec Center. There is a corresponding webpage for the project, although it is still a work in progress." The website is https://culturehhi.org/portfolio/student-mural-exhibit. Other students who participated were: Alyssa Letka, Ashley Marcos-Santos, Ava Roberts, Belle Luther, Brittany Romero, Carlos Morales-Perez, Cristal Chavira, Deja Godsun, Ellis Adelman, Evan Wilder, Hannah Walter, Holly Heines, Jazmine Hernandez, Kyla King, Leah Jackson, Miguel Morales, Angel Reyes Santos, Nathan Jarrell, Osbaldo Juan-Toscano, Preston Wells, and Sophia Lazor. Congratulations to these students! Go explore the island to find their artwork!

Community Career Day Returns To HHIHS By: Brody Doyle On Tuesday April 5th students at HHIHS participated in Community Career Day. It was an hour long event where the school had close to 70 volunteers from the community from multiple local occupations and industries. Students got to choose two 30 minute sessions to listen to. The speakers talked about their careers and how they became professionals. Some notable speakers included, Mrs. Fielding (a cardiovascular perfusionist), Mr. Perrine (coowner of Reno Pro), and even a former FBI agent. The main goal of Community Career Day sessions was to introduce students to a future career path. One of the most popular volunteers, Mrs. Fielding said, "I hope that the talk was engaging enough to impact the students’ decision about pursuing a profession in medicine. The purpose of Career Day is to introduce students to professions that they would not normally be exposed to." Most students were very excited to receive valuable information that was to be given to them by the volunteers. One 12th grade student, Harrison Grand, said, "it was very informative and I learned a lot from the two careers that I observed that day.” Photo by: Mrs. C. Robinson

This tradition returned to HHIHS after being gone for two years due to COVID-19. Many of the same volunteers come back every year. Mrs. Fielding said, "Yes!

Beaufort Memorial adds gastroenterologist to staff D. Eli Penn, M.D., a dual board-certified, fellowship-trained gastroenterologist with a wide range of experience and endoscopic skills, has joined Beaufort Memorial Lowcountry Medical Group Specialty Care. He sees patients at the practice’s Beaufort and Okatie locations. Penn specializes not only in the management of general GI disorders, but also in advanced endoscopic therapies. He has a particular interest in detection and management of poorly recognized conditions that tend to present with GI symptoms, among them chronic pancreatitis and hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. He believes that careful attention to a patient’s signs and symptoms, including those outside the GI tract, is essential to accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. The Kentucky native came to Beaufort Memorial from Macon, Georgia, where since 2019 he had practiced at the Medical Center of Central Georgia/Atrium Heath Navicent, and held a faculty appointment at Mercer University School of Medicine, continuing the academic research and work with trainees that have been a rewarding part of his career. Penn is a frequent speaker on topics that include chronic pancreatitis and inflammatory bowel disease, and also proctors other gastroenterologists as they learn to perform the TIF procedure, most recently at the University of Florida. He has published in multiple peer-reviewed journals and currently serves on the Professionalism Committee at the American College of Gastroenterology. Past leadership roles have included director of endoscopy and vice chair of the Board of Trustees at East Georgia Regional Medical Center in Statesboro. Penn received his medical degree at Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston. During his internal medicine residency there he won awards for teaching and research. He completed a gastroenterology fellowship at the University of Florida in Gainesville.
Dr. Eli Penn
“With the addition of Dr. Penn to our gastroenterology practice, we are continuing our efforts to increase access to GI services for residents both north and south of the Broad River,” said Russell Baxley, president and CEO of Beaufort Memorial. “We are fortunate to add a physician of Dr. Penn’s caliber to our medical staff. He brings both technical skill and concern for patients to our team.” At Beaufort Memorial Lowcountry Medical Group Specialty Care, Penn joins board-certified gastroenterologists John Crisologo, M.D., and Richard Stewart, D.O., as well as certified physician assistants Kristen Johnson and Kim Thorpe and board-certified nurse practitioner Kim Stockstill. With locations in Beaufort at 300 Midtown Drive and in Okatie at Beaufort Memorial Okatie Medical Pavilion, 122 Okatie Center Blvd. North, the practice provides care for acute and chronic disorders of the gastrointestinal system. To make an appointment with Penn or any of the other practice providers, call 843-770-4588.

CONSIDERING A KNEE OR JOINT REPLACEMENT?
WHAT IS RESTORATIVE MEDICINE? Restorative medicine involves using Human Cellular Tissue Products (HCTPs) to help the body heal itself. Through restorative medicine, damaged tissue in joints are supplemented with healthy structural tissue to provide an opportunity to restore from within. KNEES, SHOULDERS, AND HIPS Dr. Heather Hinshelwood MD has helped thousands of patients with knees, shoulders, hips and more. The procedure takes only 30 minutes and allows the patient to leave with a simple band-aid over the site.
THE LEADERS IN RESTORATIVE MEDICINE
HILTON HEAD ISLAND FOR OVER 30 YEARS
RESULTS ORIENTED Many patients experience a significant reduction in knee pain within 48 hours due to the reduced inflammation. With restorative medicine therapy, most patients feel maximum results within 10 to 12 weeks and up to 95% within 6 months.
Over one million joint replacements are performed in the U.S. each year and according to the Cleveland Clinic, over 85% of knee replacements need to be redone within 15 years. Since 2018 the Fraum Center for Restorative Health has been offering a non-surgical alternative to joint replacement that is Beyond Stem Cells™. This cutting edge technology helps patients get back to living the life they love.

Board-certified nurse practitioner joins May River Primary Care
COURTESY USCB
When Nursing Honors students at the University of South Carolina Beaufort were assigned a service-learning project this spring, Dr. Jo Kuehn, assistant professor of nursing, (back, center) asked them to address a health need of a vulnerable population. The students chose Beaufort-based children’s advocacy, domestic violence and rape crisis center Hopeful Horizons. The class raised $1,345 by holding a kickball tournament on the university’s Bluffton campus, partnering with Evolve Nutrition of Beaufort to create special drinks for the fundraiser, and conducting a GoFundMe.com campaign. Here, the class and Dr. Kuehn present a symbolic check to Hopeful Horizons Community Educator Rose Ewing, center.
Beaufort Memorial May River Primary Care has added a board-certified nurse practitioner to its clinical team. Jaclyn Blair Thornton, APRN, AGPCNP-BC, has joined the Okatie-based practice where she will work to prevent, diagnose and treat acute and chronic illness in Jaclyn B. Thornton adult patients. Thornton, who until recently was known professionally as Blair Lucchese, comes to the practice from Southeast Lung Associates on Hilton Head Island, where she worked as an advanced practice registered nurse (APRN), performing comprehensive health assessments, and providing direct patient care.
Broadly experienced, she earlier served as an APRN at primary care practices on Hilton Head Island and as a charge nurse at Hilton Head Hospital Spine Center. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Memphis and a Master of Science, Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner Program, from Drexel University in Philadelphia. A Memphis native, she said knew from the age of 13 that she wanted to be a nurse, and has had an enduring interest in what she calls the “very rewarding” practice of primary care. May River Primary Care is located in the Beaufort Memorial Okatie Medical Pavilion, 122 Okatie Center Blvd. North, Suite 300.

Dependence on pharmaceuticals is a hard pill to swallow By Heather Hinshelwood CONTRIBUTOR
We are a pharmaceutical nation – and that might be what ails us most of all. You’ve likely had or heard of a “medicine cabinet” as a fixture in the family bathroom. Think about that. “Medicine cabinet.” Today, it is all too common to have enough medicinal substances at your fingertips as to require this self-ascribed storage bin in which to house them. Prescriptions and pain relievers, remedies and resuscitators, not to mention therapeutic devices like braces, wraps, heating pads, etc. But what really heals your body? Your body, or those medications? It should be said that the “miracle of medicine” is verifiably lifesaving or life sustaining for many, and in those cases, what medicine can do is to be celebrated. But even then, it can be supplemented and supported in a way that makes your body and all its integrated systems work in favor of itself.
The world of pharmaceuticals can be credited with lengthening the overall lifespan of human beings over the past century as we’ve seen major medical advances and modern miracles. Now for the first time in history, though, life expectancy has begun to decline. We’re finding as a population that we’ve placed our healthcare ladder against the wrong wall and when we get to the last rung, we’ve lost time, money, and sometimes
hope. As we get more comfortable in, and dependent upon the support of medication and sticking a Bandaid on what’s truly troubling us, we’re seeing our collective health go backwards and, in many cases, decline. If we were getting it right, that’s not what we’d be seeing. We’re forgetting how to heal ourselves. Pills are a fundamental assumption that
our bodies are getting it wrong and need extra help. Though necessary in some (or many) cases, there are also a wide variety of scenarios where they’re not needed, and where patients can benefit from a fully revitalizing plan of care that won’t keep them tethered to a proverbial pill bottle. Most important is this haunting factor: Things can get way worse when we just codify with chemical treatment, placating rather than resolving the problem. Our bodies can be worsening under this pain-numbing approach, and hiding imperative information needed to let healing begin. Your body knows what’s good for you! It just needs guidance on where to begin. Experience a restorative rediscovery of personal strength that multiplies the more you let your body do what it does best. Dr. Heather Hinshelwood, MD is the Medical Director at the Fraum Center for Restorative Health and has been practicing medicine for almost 20 years. Fraum.com.

Common signs of an aging face with treatment options By E. Ronald Finger CONTRIBUTOR
It happens to all of us: We get older and our aging shows on our face, skin and hair. Here are some common concerns and potential ways to address them. Signs of aging: • Skin – age spots, wrinkles, large pores, loss of elasticity, sagging, and loss of clarity. E. Ronald Finger • Hair – thinning or receding hair line in both men and women. • Loss of facial volume – Youthful faces are full and convex. Aging causes loss of volume in skin, fat and even bone, causing shadows and hollows. • Sagging brow – brows sag with age, particularly the outer brow. There should
be an arch between the middle and outer 1/3 of the brow. • Upper eyelids – excess skin and even fat occurs with age causing a “tired” appearance. Sometimes excess skin covers the lashes. • Lower eyelids – bags and/or excess skin may develop. Dark circles are usually shadows from volume loss and/or protruding fat pads. • Crow’s feet – wrinkles lateral to the eyelids usually from sun damage and animation. Also, frown lines and forehead furrows. • Lips – aging lips thin, and the distance between the nose and upper lip elongates. The corners of the mouth may turn down giving a sad appearance. • Jowls – these develop from loss of volume and elasticity. • Neck – excess skin and/or fat develop. Platysma muscle bands may occur. Treatment for aging features: • Good skin care. We prefer New Youth
Cosmeceuticals combined with resurfacing with lasers, e.g. CO2 or less-invasive lasers (Cool Peel Laser) or a Hetter Peel is very effective. • Hair transplant with micro-grafts, preferably FUE (follicular unit extraction) with Neograft, or strip excision technology called FUT. • Fillers, such as Restylane products (e.g. Lyft), Juvederm products (e.g. Voluma), Sculptra, and Bellafill, the longest lasting filler, can be used and often in combinations for the best overall results. • Brow lift – under local or general anesthesia according to the extent of the procedure • Upper lid lift – usually local anesthesia. Very rewarding for more youthful appearance. • Lower lid lift to remove skin, fat pads or both. Laser resurfacing or Hetter peel can be done at the same time to remove fine lines. • Botox or Dysport – for crow’s feet,
frown lines, forehead furrows, and even elevation of the corners of the mouth and diminishing mouth wrinkles. • Fillers in lips can add volume and/or reduce wrinkles. A minor lip lift procedure can also be done with inconspicuous scarring under the nose – an excellent procedure when indicated, called a “buckhorn” lift. • Jowls – facelift is usually indicated. Improvement can also be achieved non-surgically with fillers on each side of the jowl along the mandible and with micro-liposuction of the jowl. • Sagging neck, a mini- or full facelift is sometimes best. When the problem is only fat, liposuction with Renuvion (to reduce loose skin) works very well. Excess neck skin can also be removed with a direct vertical excision. E.

WELLNESS
Fine tune your body, mind, and soul with music experiences By Shembra Carter CONTRIBUTOR
Music is a universal language. It is one thing that has touched everyone at some point in time. Whether you have sung along at a concert with hundreds of other people or listened to a sad song alone and cried, chances are you have had an “experience” with music and sound. Music can have a profound impact on your emotional and physical state. For many years scientists have been conscious of the effect of sound on the human body. Using sound to heal and comfort is one of the oldest forms of healing. But how does it work? We hear music with our ears but more importantly the resonance is felt at the cellular level. It permeates our entire being. That is why some music is described as being “soulful,” as you feel it in your soul. Our body is made up of vibration and
energy, and sound waves are an integral part of resetting our personal vibration for optimal wellness. The vagus nerve (the longest cranial nerve) starts in the brain and runs through all the major organs in your body. It is part of your nervous system that is responsible for rest, digestion and rejuvenation.
NO TIME TO WAIST! Treat yourself to a body you deserve this summer! Bluffton Location: 7 Mallet Way Bluffton SC 29910 Beaufort Location: 1096 Ribaut Rd Beaufort, SC 29902 843.815.6699 • www.PinnaclePlasticSurgery.com
It controls your heart rate, respirations, and immune response. It is measured indirectly by heart rate variability test. The vagus nerve can be overstimulated by constantly being in a state of “fight or flight.” This can be from the busy lifestyles we lead, being overworked, sitting in traffic, or any other stressors in your life.
This overstimulation of the nervous system causes the body to release stress hormones that can leave you feeling depleted. In this state the body is unable to repair itself. Keeping your body in tune vibrationally is one way to repair an overstimulated vagus nerve. Bringing our energy and vibration back to where it should be through the use of music, sound and healing frequencies is a non-invasive way to soothe the nervous system, decrease your heart rate, and increase circulation. This reduces stress and anxiety, boosts your immune system, and opens you up to feelings of peace and well-being. By activating stress-reducing pathways, the right vibrations will bring harmony back into your mind, body and soul.

Journey of caregivers is different yet similar for each person By Joy Nelson CONTRIBUTOR
When one decides to become a parent, it is understood that being a caregiver is part of that journey. Caring for that child will be the No. 1 priority. We make mistakes, we learn from them, and then make more mistakes. And we know it’s part of the life we chose. What might be unexpected is when we must become a caregiver for our spouse or parent. How do we navigate this unexpected bend in our journey? Whom do we ask for help? When is the right time to speak up? One of our volunteers here at Memory Matters asked these questions when her husband was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, and she became his primary caregiver. She chose to share their journey in hopes that it might help others. Here is her story, in her own words: “Looking back, I can see how my hus-

We’ve all experienced that; it comes with aging. “One day it became abundantly clear that I needed to be more hands on with his care. I did all the driving, made the appointments, managed his medications, and helped him with his daily care. … At times it was frustrating and annoying, for us both. “Trying to do my best, not wanting to burden my children with my concerns about doing the right thing, I felt very much alone and overwhelmed. … I started looking for resources to keep my loved one at home for as long as possible. “I was familiar with Memory Matters and reached out to them, with a view to enrolling Rob in one of their programs.

Not all advice and suggestions applied to our experience, so it was important to listen and ask questions about everything. “When I regaled my newfound knowledge, my husband asked me when he
could get some similar support! That was a godsend, because I was nervous about approaching the subject of him going alone to such a program. “Rob enrolled and his twice-weekly classes were the highlight of his week. It was there that he regained some of his independence. It also brought a change in scenery, new friends, and stories to share with me. “Meanwhile … I learned not to take everything personally, to blame the disease, not the man; to forgive myself when I became angry or impatient; and to forgive Rob when he did the same. While it was never easy, I did become more confident that my decision-making and actions had merit. “Eventually, when Rob did have to move into care, I knew that the decision came from a place of love, understanding and compassion.” Joy Nelson is the director of marketing and communications for Memory Matters.

Nonprofit tackles food insecurity with healthy innovation By Scott Wierman CONTRIBUTOR
The high number of Hilton Head Island and Bluffton residents dealing with food insecurity might be surprising to many Lowcountry visitors and locals. But regional nonprofits, including the Community Foundation of the Lowcountry, are very aware that food insecurity is a pressing issue. So when Volunteers in Medicine (VIM), a Hilton Head Island-based clinic that offers free medical services for residents and workers in need, sent the Community Foundation a grant proposal in February aimed at alleviating food insecurity, we took action. In partnership with the Town of Hilton Head, the Community Foundation of the Lowcountry awarded VIM a grant to fund a hydroponic farm, located in VIM’s office space. The genesis of the hydroponic farm was the positive impact fresh produce had previously had on VIM patients.
These upright, indoor gardens, called Flex Farms, are thriving inside the VIM office space. Produce grown here is given to VIM patients and donated to other nonprofits.
“Community gardens would drop off excess produce to VIM,” said VIM Executive Director John Newman, MD. “And the produce brought such joy to the patients who received it. The produce would quickly go out the door. And we thought ‘What could

VIM do to help the community in need with fresh produce?’” Just a few months after funds were received, it is remarkable to witness the amazing progress the VIM Clinic’s Farm-acy has made in a short time. Eight vertical hy-
droponic Flex Farms (and a storage refrigerator) are full of leafy greens and vegetables: romaine lettuce, arugula, collard greens, kale, basil, and spinach. Tomatoes, okra, bell peppers, and jalapenos are started in Flex Farms, then placed in cups with dirt and given to patients to plant. By mid-May, more than 250 plants had been given to patients. In addition to patients receiving produce, VIM donates produce to three nonprofit organizations: Second Helpings, Deep Well Project, and Sandalwood Community Food Pantry. In return, these organizations supply VIM with other food items to distribute to their patients. “Second Helpings is really thankful for VIM including us in their produce distribution,” said Leah Long, operations administrator for Second Helpings, a Lowcountry food rescue organization. “A lot of our donated food is canned goods, so whenever we can provide fresh produce, it is a real treat.” Scott Wierman is the president and CEO of Community Foundation of the Lowcountry.

Just in time for Father’s Day, Luna’s new dad appears By Lindsay Perry CONTRIBUTOR
To know the love of a father can be life changing. And for a senior dog named Luna, that love was long-awaited. After spending nearly 18 months with Palmetto Animal League, Luna must have wondered if anyone would ever come for her. Her lengthy wait for love ended joyously in May when her new father, Ken Maliken, walked her out of our adoption center. “Ken first heard about Luna at the beginning of the year, but he was leaving town for a couple of months,” said PAL Kennel Supervisor Shelby English. “When he got back in April, he stopped by to see if Luna was still available for adoption. Their connection that day was immediate.” Before coming to PAL, Luna had spent her entire life with the same family, starting out as an indoor dog with all the comforts of home, but ending up an outdoor dog, largely isolated from physical and emotional OPEN MON. - FRI. • 9 AM TO 3 PM 2 Southwood Park Drive • Hilton Head, SC 29926 Next to Dunkin Donuts • 843.683.7770

Summer is the perfect time to grill fresh, local seafood By Charles J. Russo III CONTRIBUTOR
When you pull out the grill for neighborhood cookouts and family dinners, you might think first of throwing on the traditional hot dog, hamburger or chicken drumstick. But grilling seafood is a fresh and healthy way to go beyond the tried and true favorites. Now that summer is in full swing, it’s time to introduce more fun into meal planning and try new methods and recipes that will have your friends and family looking forward to your next cookout. Whether it’s shrimp, tuna, swordfish, grouper, snapper, or mahi, you can get creative with grilling fresh seafood, enhancing the delicious flavor of this bounty from our local waters. Meals full of freshly grilled fish might even remind you of your favorite summer vacation spot, or help you realize why you
love to call the Lowcountry home. There are many ways to grill seafood, but you can’t go wrong with marinating or rubbing in your favorite flavors and
seasonings, then cooking it quickly over a hot, well-oiled grill or on a grilling mat. Seafood can be prepared quickly and easily as kabob appetizers, tacos for kids,

or as a crowd-pleasing platter. Grilling is an easy, impressive, and tasty way to utilize freshly caught fish, making you want to fire up your grill every night, all summer long. Aside from the delicious taste, seafood is a healthy alternative to the traditional summer barbecue fare. It’s lower in fat but higher in nutrients and protein, and the grill produces a direct, high heat that cooks food fast while locking in those nutrients and keeping it moist. As the weather continues to get warmer, locally sourced seafood is a fantastic way to amp up the flavor of your meals and prevent the oven from heating up your kitchen. For your next picnic, cookout, or dinner by the pool, visit your local seafood market for a fresh selection of seafood for delicious meals all summer long. Charles J.

SAFETY
Enjoy backyard pools by implementing safety precautions By Cinda Seamon CONTRIBUTOR
There’s been a spike in demand for backyard pools throughout the pandemic as families have stayed close to home for summer fun. Unfortunately, this surge in backyard pool sales has also meant an increase in accidents and potential safety issues. Here are some water safety tips for your backyard pool. Safety measures: In addition to state and Town-required safety measures for inground and above-ground swimming pools, you should implement additional safety measures to keep your backyard pool safe. You can control access to your pool by: • Installing and maintaining barriers that surround all sides of the pool, such as fencing. • Using a self-closing and self-latching gate. Ensure the latch is high enough that a young child can’t reach it. • Using locks and alarms to alert you
when someone enters the backyard pool area. • Removing above-ground pool ladders when they aren’t being used. You can also remove all toys and floats from the pool when they aren’t being used. These objects can lure a child into the water. Pool rules: It’s important to review pool rules with your family periodically and ensure you’re practicing backyard pool
safety regularly. Here are some rules that are important: • Never swim alone, even if you’re an adult. More than one person should always be present in case of an emergency. • Adults should be actively watching anytime a child is using or playing near the backyard pool. During backyard get-togethers, designate an adult to be the pool monitor and rotate responsibilities frequently. • Teach your children to stay away from danger zones, such as pool drains and other openings in the pool. Clothing and hair can get stuck in these openings and trap swimmers. Make sure everyone knows how
to quickly shut off filters when necessary. Every backyard pool owner should also create a pool emergency kit that is within easy reach during an emergency. Include a standard first aid kit and a floatation device to throw to struggling swimmers. Learn to swim, take CPR class: One of the best ways to prevent backyard pool accidents is to enroll children in swim lesson classes. They’ll learn how to swim, but they’ll also learn to respect the water and to recognize water safety concerns on their own. Because of the bounty of water in our Lowcountry, this is a concern that extends beyond your own backyard. You can also take a CPR, AED and First Aid class as a family. You’ll learn important lifesaving skills for a variety of emergencies. Classes are available in person, remotely and in a hybrid format.

Professional landscape designers consider many elements when planning an outdoor space, from soil type and weather conditions to aesthetics to intended uses.
By Robin Hartman CONTRIBUTOR
Do you love to work in your yard? Or would you rather sit back, relax, and simply enjoy the view? Regardless of which camp you find yourself in, one thing is for certain: A well thoughtout, planned, and executed landscape design strategy is key. A thoughtfully crafted landscape design plan Robin Hartman not only will give you an idea of what your outdoor space will look like, it also will allow you to experience it before installation even begins. Creating outdoor spaces and foundation plantings is far more involved than designing the interior of your home, which is a controlled environment. In an outdoor setting, we are working with a living, breathing, and growing ecosystem. Experienced professional landscape designers consider the ecology of outdoor spaces, from weather conditions, problematic soil, and erosion issues, while creating and maintaining natural habi-
tats for bees, birds, butterflies and other pollinators. Whether your landscape is intended to provide curb appeal or to create balance within the natural landscape so you have places for unwinding and entertaining, planning is critical. A professional designer will work hard to highlight the natural beauty of your property by carefully selecting plants and outdoor features to install – while keeping future outcomes in mind in order to eliminate future headaches and maintenance issues. Not only can you increase your overall living space by creating “outdoor rooms” in your landscape, you also can improve the value of your property both aesthetically and financially. If you are looking to sell your home in the future, refurbishing your landscape and adding outdoor amenities can greatly improve your property’s appeal and worth. With the amazing weather we are so fortunate to have here in the Lowcountry, make the most out of your landscape with a thoughtful, carefully planned landscape design.

NATURE’S WAY
When we’re fishing, time flies – unless it’s saved in a bottle By Collins Doughtie CONTRIBUTOR
Any fisherman who has ever purchased a new boat knows that for whatever reason, some boats just catch more fish than others. Laugh all you want, but from experience this isn’t some old wive’s tale, it actually is true. My take is the sound of the engines, along with the size of the wake it puts out, can make the difference between fishing and catching. Case in point: I accompanied my best fishing pal Dan Cornell to Jupiter, Florida, to bring his new ride back to Hilton Head Island, and what a ride it was! This is a fishing boat! Though I can’t really remember exactly how many years we have fished together, it is somewhere around 12 to 15 years. In that period, Dan started out with a 24-foot Grady White, then a 30-foot Grady, a 35foot Pursuit, a 45-foot Hatteras, a 60-foot Viking and finally (as of this moment), a 53foot HCB Suenos center console, the boat we just brought back. Talk about a rocket ship! This boat sports four 425 hp Yamaha outboards, a stereo system with 25 speakers spaced out from bow to stern, and every upgrade known to man, including a Seakeeper, which is a type of centrifuge that keeps the boat from rolling side to side. Even the most seasick-prone individual would surely benefit from this gizmo, since even in large seas the boat stays perfectly stable like it might if you were on a slick as glass inland lake.
COLLINS DOUGHTIE
Home school students wrote messages and put them into bottles, and their teacher sealed them and brought them to me for tossing into the Gulf Stream on my next trip out.
Arriving in Jupiter around 3 p.m., our goal was to load all of our rods and safety equipment onboard and blast off for Cape Canaveral before the sun set. When we left the inlet into the open ocean, Dan pushed the throttles forward and within seconds we were flying along at 50 mph! I was dumbfounded. Stepping away from the protection of the console, the wind literally peeled my lips back. What a machine! Needless to say, we made it to Cape Canaveral in crazy record time. Our plan was to spend the night at my sister Grace’s house near Melbourne, fuel up early the next morning and make the long run to Hilton Head Island.
Though not really planned, a great friend of my sister, Bill Levitt, joined us for dinner and Dan and I invited him to join us on the last leg of the trip. It didn’t take any convincing and Bill was all in. Arriving back at the boat, we fueled up and off we went. It is a crazy sensation cooking along between 40 and 50 mph in a boat that long. The ride is so smooth – and with all those speakers, it was like riding in a traveling concert arena. We all wore ridiculously huge grins while singing along with tunes from several decades. We did stop and fish a few times but there was another mission on my plate that I had been waiting to accomplish for nearly two months.
A while back, local teacher Julie Bascom dropped off at my house a case of wine bottles, each sealed tightly with rolled up notes inside each bottle. Julie works with home schooled kids in the 4- to 10-year-old age group, from St. Francis Catholic, Hilton Head Elementary, Hilton Head School for Creative Arts, and Hilton Head Early Childhood Center. The bottles were from her students’ project. She asked me to drop them offshore when I had time with the purpose of seeing where they might end up and hoping students would receive return letters from those who found one of these bottles, read the note inside, and write back to these kids. Ironically, I did this very same thing when I was around 9 years old and, months after I let my message in a bottle drift away, I got a letter from a man in England! Obviously, it had traveled across the Atlantic in the Gulf Stream, so doing this for Julie was tops on my list. Instead of dropping them all in one location, Dan, Bill and I would stop every 50 to 75 miles, drop one or two overboard and mark the latitude and longitude location. With all bottles floating out there somewhere and the boat back on Hilton Head, it ranks up there as one of the best trips ever. Oh, the boat’s name is Game On, it has a gray hull, and believe me when I say when she goes by, you sure as heck can’t miss it.

Choosing the right water filtration system for your family By Chris Lane CONTRIBUTOR
As consumers we shouldn’t need to be told how important safe, clean, high-quality water is for our daily life. The EPA recently reported that it will take nearly $750 billion dollars over the next 20 years just to maintain the current service levels in our country. With all the new regulations and complex water issues we may face, it is more important than ever to ensure your family has final barrier filtration to insure great tasting, safer, cleaner, high-quality drinking water for your family. Finding and choosing a water treatment company can be an overwhelming and frustrating experience. Why? Because as consumers we’re inundated with so many marketing messages (according to Forbes.com, it’s up to 10,000 a day) that it’s easy for us
to feel overwhelmed and even misled when it comes to finding someone you can trust. With so many different filter options all too common, making a wise decision is more important than ever. • Step 1: Know the source of your water. This is important, because not everyone has the same water source or same water quality, and the quality can change seasonally. We have encountered every kind of water source imaginable, from the standard municipal supply to private wells, even natural springs. Water treatment should not be a one-sizefits-all solution, and the source of your water will be the determining factor to your water treatment needs. • Step 2: Know what is in your water. You cannot always see contaminants that might be in your water. We all have heard the horrors that Flint, Michigan, went through in 2017 and continue to endure to this day. The issues they face

were not present to the eye when they began; it was only after the testing revealed the contaminants present. Have your tap water tested. • Step 3: When choosing treatment, be sure equipment is certified. Water treatment is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Ensuring safe water for your family and home also means ensuring that the solution is tried and proven. Third party certification means products are put through a comprehensive evaluation process that includes verification of their claims. • Step 4: Choosing treatment. You must be sure the product you pick will remove odors or contaminants in your water. With so many different options available, it can be confusing to know which product is safest and best for you and your family. Again, third-party certification is key to verify the products’ claims. Local public service annual tap water
quality reports are public record and posted on their respective websites. We recommend every homeowner reads this report, as well as researches their tap water supply on Environmental Working Groups National Tap Water Database at ewg.org/tapwater. Regardless of your tap water source, we recommend having it tested at the kitchen sink to ensure your family has safer, high quality drinking water. And when choosing a filter for your home, make sure the filter is certified to remove any contaminants found in your tap water. To learn more about final barrier visit the Water Quality Association website at wqa.org or call a local water treatment professional.

Kids can make a splash in summer arts camps at Arts Center Summer is heating up with the Arts Center’s creative, action-packed lineup of camps! Campers ages 6 and up will dive into meaningful skill-building projects, not just crafts, fostering creativity all summer long. Visual and Performing Arts sessions include our one-of-a-kind Rock of Ages dance and drama camp. And we are proud to be offering a new Adaptive Performing Arts Camp, making the performing arts accessible to all. Summer sessions run June 13 through July 29. Kicking off the summer June 13-17 is Art Around the World, where campers get to “travel” across the globe by exploring the unique styles of an array of artists from different countries and cultures. Kids ages 6-8 and 9-14 will be able to fill up their own portfolio passport with original art. $145 The always popular Theater Camp for kids ages 9-14 will be June 20-24 and again July 11-15, from 9:30 a.m. to :30 p.m. Campers will experience a mini-production and will “perform” as both cast and production crew. Young artists will learn how to write scripts, understand and develop characters, create sets, props, and design costumes. $330 Take the Stage participants will enjoy a well-rounded musical experience, expanding on their music, dance and drama skills, culminating with a mini showcase on Friday. This camp is offered twice, June 27-July 1 and again July 18-22, with each session offering two age groups (6-8 and 9-14). Running at the same time is Mixed-Up Masterpieces, where students will study folk and fine art will inspire both traditional and unusual 2D and 3D artwork. Campers will show off their masterpieces in final exhibit/reception held on Friday. These camps can be taken individually in the morning or afternoon, or can be combined, to offer a full day experience (9:30 a.m.-3 p.m. for both camps). $145 per session. During our new Art with Amos: Sound Garden camp July 11-15, students ages 9-14 will have the unique opportunity to work alongside Lowcountry’s famous Amos Hummell. Drawing inspiration from his recent Sound Garden collection, campers
THE FINAL WEEK! DON’T MISS...
NOW – MAY 29 will get to create multimedia wall hangings using paint, wire, beads, modeling clay, and fun embellishments. $145, but the experience is priceless! For campers eager to work their left and rights brain, Lowcountry STEAM is July 25-29. Students ages 9-14 will learn about circuits, cardboard engineering, and even virtual reality with painting as they engage in hands-on projects that reinforce Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) while creating Art (STEAM)! $175. Aspiring superstars will love the new Rock of Ages camp! Students will work with cast members from the Arts Center’s summer musical, learning a variety of dance and drama techniques from a pro, to take their abilities to the next level. This camp, for students ages 11-18 with intermediate dance skills will be July 25-29. $175. That same week, Art For All: Adaptive Performing Arts is available for independent campers ages 11-18 with mild to moderate developmental disabilities who want to enjoy a collaborative team building project by making a one-act play. $175.

Discounts are available for multiple family members attending the same camp and multiple camps attended in the same week. Students attending full day camps should bring a sack lunch, drink and snack.
TONY-WINNING BEST MUSICAL When a winning lottery ticket, a power outage, and romantic tension shake up the neighborhood, the long-time friends and neighbors make discoveries about each other and themselves. Featuring an exhilarating score by Lin-Manuel Miranda, this fresh and revolutionary musical combines Latin rhythms and dance to tell a captivating story about what it means to chase your dreams as you cling to your roots.

A book signing for local author Kerry Peresta’s latest book, “The Rising,” will be held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. July 16 at Barnes & Noble on Hilton Head Island. The book is the second in her Olivia Callahan Suspense series. Her debut novel is “The Hunting,” was published in 2013. Peresta is a resident of Hilton Head Island and member of the Island Writer’s Network, Sisters in Crime, Pat Conroy Literary Center, and South Carolina Writers Association. “The Rising” continues the story of Olivia Callahan. After an assault that landed her in a hospital as a Jane Doe two years earlier, Olivia has regained her speech, movement, and much of the memory she lost due to a traumatic brain injury. Olivia is ready to rebuild her life, but her
The North Ends Premier Venue for Live Music & Dancing
therapist insists she must continue to look back in order to move forward. The only person that can help her recall specifics is her abusive ex-husband, Monty, who is in prison for murder. The thought of talking to Monty makes her skin crawl, but she must learn more about who she was before the attack. Just as the pieces of her life start falling into place, she stumbles across the still-warm body of an old friend who has been murdered. Her dream of pursuing a peaceful existence is shattered when she learns the killer left evidence behind to implicate her in the murder. Olivia is desperate to uncover the truth before another murder is committed. For more information about the author, visit kerryperesta.net.
