THE BOATING LIFE

Island marina stories are all about improvements, additions

By Tim Wood CONTRIBUTOR

The water has seemingly been the one place that has not been impacted by the COVID pandemic of the past 18 months.

The boating industry has been thriving in both interest and in sales. The better pool installers in the Lowcountry are backed up well over a year with new installs. And the tourism industry has led to a boom for the marinas on Hilton Head Island.

“We were shut down for a few weeks by the town due to COVID, but the outdoors has been the salvation for many families, and we’ve definitely been busy providing that rescue,” said Jason Wheeler, harbormaster at Shelter Cove Marina.

The story is similar all across the island.

And with demand at unprecedented levels, the marinas are busy at work expanding services to keep up with the ever-increasing crowds.

“In terms of what we want to achieve, the supply chain backup in terms of building supplies is just about the only thing that could hold us back,” said Kuy Scott, project manager at Palmetto Bay Marina.

Palmetto Bay is the poster child for the

expansion. The marina has been in the midst of a management and appearance transformation since Millard Oakley, owner of The Boathouse and many commercial properties on Hilton Head Island, took over the once-troubled marina.

The eastern side of the marina, which houses the commercial operation – water sports, charter tours, and the Carefree and Freedom boat clubs – was redone last year, with new docks, top-notch electrical and sewage pumps and dual 10,000-gallon fuel tanks added.

The western side was especially decimated by Hurricane Matthew, and construction to rebuild the docks and expand them begins this month. The latest project consists of rebuilding the two smaller fingers of the linear docks (about 50 feet apiece) and the three longer (400-feet) docks.

Then the longer docks will all have floating dock extensions, giving Pier 1 a total length of 600 feet, 680 feet for Pier 2, and 700 feet for Pier 3.

“These are mega-docks, and the western side will now accommodate a total of 4,600 of linear, side-tie dock space,” Scott said. “The demand for transient slips for

SUNNY SIDE UP

Why must we continue all this dividing of people into groups?

By Lynne Cope Hummell EDITOR

Editors of the AP Stylebook – the Bible for journalists – sent an email alert recently about new writing guidelines for referencing Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, a recent topic of concern in ethnic discrimination.

Last year, out of similar concern, we began to capitalize “Black” in reference to African Americans. The AP has rules for the use of “Native American,” “Italian American,” and “Latino” and others as well.

It makes me sad to think that ethnics groups need their own “guidelines” so that people in other groups don’t offend them. It makes me sad that we need to be reminded in the Stylebook that we should “Consider carefully when deciding whether to identify people by race. Often, it is an irrelevant factor and drawing unnecessary attention to someone’s race or ethnicity can be interpreted as bigotry.”

Suppose we were all segregated by the color of our hair or our shoe size or whether we have good teeth? What if all people with pretty feet were celebrated, while tall people were shunned? What if the opposite happened? What if you attended the wrong university – or preschool?

What if dancers were the only citizens allowed to run for office? Or only Native American dancers? Or only Black pastors?

What if only people of Irish heritage could go to design school, or become firefighters or mechanics?

Does any of that make sense?

Of course not. And I hope you realize I am being outrageous to make a point: The sum of a person can’t be measured by each category into which that person might fit.

We are a diverse community, of many ages, races, religions, political ideology, levels of education, and so forth. But let us not be divided

PUBLISHER

Hurricane season, which runs from June 1 through Nov. 30, is here again.

With its arrival, we must all ask ourselves, are we ready?

We live in an area that has the potential to be impacted by powerful, destructive storms.

Hurricanes bring many hazards to John McCann U.S. coastlines and inland areas, including storm surge along the coast, inland flooding due to heavy rainfall, tornadoes, strong wind, rip currents and large waves. It’s been a few years since we’ve experienced these major hazards associated with a hurricane, but we have to be prepared for them. It only takes one storm to change your life and our community.

In the third week of May, the first subtropical storm of the season – Ana – formed near Bermuda. This is sure sign that it’s never too early to get ready.

CONTRIBUTOR

Our Emergency Management team, led by Emergency Manager Tom Dunn, has already made plans to deal with the threat of storms that may occur during the 2021 Atlantic Hurricane Season. Behind the scenes, Tom and his team have been meeting to review and update their plans, train staff and ensure we have a full stock of emergency supplies.

For the public, we have updated our “Guide to Emergency Preparedness.” It

is available in both English and Spanish, and may be downloaded from the Town’s website at hiltonheadislandsc. gov.

This guide has all the information you need in one place, including how to make an emergency kit, how to prepare for an evacuation and how the Town functions during an evacuation and recovery.

The Town also has developed handy pocket guides, which provide snapshots of emergency information and pages for you to write down your own plans and contact information. They are also available in English and Spanish.

You may pick up a pocket guide from any of the town’s fire stations or Town Hall. In addition to the guides, make sure you visit our website and subscribe to receive electronic notifications and alerts from the Town during an emergency. Also, follow the Town on Facebook (@townofhiltonheadisland sc) and Twitter (@townofHHI) to stay connected and informed.

Letter to the Editor To the Editor: To this day, it amazes me how people will publicly display their irrational fear of the inanimate object, i.e. the gun. They have manifestations of running gun battles on Calhoun Street by these very same objects.

AK-47’s and AR-15’s duking it out in some delusional OK Corral scenario.

First of all, the new open carry law still requires a conceal carry permit and training. We will join the other 26 states that already have open carry.

They have not experienced any spikes in crime or shootouts.

Second, this law, when signed and the 90-day transition period is over, will eliminate unintentional brandishing. If for some reason your firearm

is exposed due to reaching for something or a good gust of breeze, some fearful person could report you to the cops and complain about how their nonexistent right to NOT see a gun was somehow violated.

As we have seen, the constant infringements on our Second Amendment right by government are abusive.

How I store or use my firearms is up to me, not someone else. For decades, none of my guns have been used for suicide or homicides, just like the other hundreds of millions of guns in this free country. My love affair with firearms is dangerous only to those who wish to do me or my family harm.

If the inanimate object scares you that much, perhaps you’re in the wrong state. “I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery.” – Thomas Jefferson.

Theodis Jackson, Savannah: “One of those Big Mouth Bass things that hangs on the wall and sings. Everybody in the office wanted to touch it.

You might see us anywhere around town, with notepad and camera, randomly seeking out folks who are willing to participate. If we find you, we hope you will want to respond.

Henry Criss, Ridgeland: “A riding lawn mower that didn’t run. I was going to fix it. I put it on blocks – for a year, then finally sold it for less than I paid.”

Katie Norman, Bluffton (barn manager at Lawton Stables): “I have to buy beer for horses that don’t sweat. I look ridiculous going to the grocery store in work clothes buying cases of Guinness!”

Soup Kitchen by the Sea

Brian Sullivan, Loveland, Ohio: “It was a green beach/cowboy hat that I called my ‘Guac’ hat. I bought it in California about 12 years ago.

Conservative priorities prevail in 124th General Assembly

By Jeff Bradley CONTRIBUTOR

As a conservative, I’m proud of the legislative accomplishments made in our state’s 124th General Assembly – from protecting the unborn to securing the integrity of our elections, cutting both government spending and regulations, re-instating Jeff Bradley annual salary increases to classroom teachers and much more.

All were achieved while expanding efforts to fight and contain the state’s COVID-19 outbreak.

The session’s official end came amid a flurry of last-minute votes, including one where House mem-

bers agreed to Senate changes to the “Open Carry” bill that allows citizens who already have a concealed weapons permit to carry their guns in the open.

We also expanded South Carolina’s death penalty to include a firing squad option if lethal drugs are not available. This bill was intended to facilitate executions that have been stalled for nearly a decade because lethal drugs have not been available.

The previous law gave death sentence inmates only two choices – electrocution or lethal drugs.

In addition to the gun legislation and death penalty option law, several other prominent bills that passed during May’s final legislative week included: Convention of States: To amend the U.S. Constitution whereby Congress can propose changes, but so

can a Convention of the States. With the passage of this bill, South Carolina joins a list of 14 other states who wish to participate in the convention process (34 states are needed to convene a convention).

Left Lane Driving Bill: The House adopted a conference report on a bill that states slower traffic on South Carolina’s highways must move to the right lane in order to allow for faster vehicles on two-plus lane highways to use the left lane.

Tax Conformity: The tax conformity bill passed both the House and Senate. It puts state and federal tax codes in alignment. This year many people filed for unemployment in South Carolina due to the pandemic.

The bill exempts some of this unemployment income – thereby ensuring that people are not penalized for the hardships they faced.

Exceptional Need Tax Credits: This legislation allows for public charities to expend extra money on children with exceptional needs and allows for money spent on these children to be claimed as a tax credit.

Now, as we return to work in June, we will finish sorting out budget issues in three short sessions to finalize a spending package for 2021-22 and take up Gov. McMaster’s budget vetoes. This will be in addition to debating how best to allocate federal COVID-19 relief money.

We will also commence the critical once-a-decade redistricting process of re-drawing legislative voting lines that will consume much time as we move into the fall.

Jeff Bradley is the representative for District 123 in the State House of Representatives.

BOATING from page 1A larger boats traveling up and down the Intercoastal Waterway has been huge. We have deep water and huge docks for the biggest boats here. It’s like a floating hotel for these ships to be able to dock and enjoy the restaurants on-site and all the island has to offer.”

The project is being aided by a $1.5 million federal government infrastructure grant, which speaks to the need to serve the overflow waterway traffic of the dockand-dine boaters.

Bathrooms, showers and a laundry area will also be added to the western side, as well as added fuel dispensers, which will take the marina to three gas pumps and two diesel pumps.

Additional boat slips for monthly and annual memberships will also be added, but the bulk of the western expansion is geared to meet the transient boater demand.

Native islander Scott said it’s an honor to be part of restoring the marina to the glory of its yesteryear prime.

“There were a lot of promises made and broken to a lot of folks before Mr. Oakley

came about, and there has been a lot of ‘I’ll believe it when I see it’ attitude from

owners and the boat crowd and I totally get that,” Scott said. “But I firmly believe

we’re incrementally earning back their trust. They can see by the work being put in that we’re in this for the long haul.”

At Shelter Cove, Wheeler has been equally busy overseeing a number of improvements.

The first thing visitors will notice is new fencing, with a lighter wire fence replacing the dated gray fencing around the marina.

The decking has been replaced leading to the docks and a new kiosk has been added to service the growing watersports and boat rentals business.

“We used to service them inside at the shop but now it’s a smooth transaction and right on to the water,” Wheeler said.

Transient slip power and an additional fuel pump has been added, giving the marina two gas pumps and one diesel pump.

But the biggest addition for Wheeler has been the addition of new rental boats.

“We’ve added eight new pontoon boats and our partner, Outside Hilton Head, has added two new rental boats,” Wheeler said. “So we went from 10 to 19 total

The rental business has just continued to grow and grow for us and we’re always going to stay ahead of that demand.”

Wheeler is also excited about the addition of Hilton Head Yacht Charters. The company has an 80-foot Hatteras luxury motor yacht complete with full staff and chef and every sea-toy. The ship will accommodate 12 guests and three crew and is available for day and sunset cruises as well as overnight and longer cruisers.

Also new is the 20-person cycleboat, named the Miss Christie. The ship has a state-of-the-art sound system, large ice bins for drinks and snacks and an onboard restroom.

“It’s so cool to see the passengers powering the boat. People have so much fun on that boat,” Wheeler said. The harbormaster is in his third year after serving as dockhand for seven years at the marina and is thrilled to see the evolution of his “water baby.”

folks out 90 miles offshore to the Gulf to fish. We’re getting back our Tuesday night fireworks at the end of June and so I’m really excited to have the crowds back to enjoy the pavilion we built last summer.

It’s full steam ahead for us. The demand is driving us to always provide a better, higher-quality experience for our guests.”

Over at Broad Creek Marina, general manager Nate Jones said that while the marina operations continue to expand, the biggest excitement for this summer will be everything happening around the water.

The marina has added the Paddles food truck to compliment the Up the Creek restaurant with more grab-and-go offerings like tacos and hot dogs. The zip line operation is reopening in late June along with newly reconfigured aerial adventures and a brand new electric go-kart track under the newly branded Adventure Hilton Head.

The boat rental and watersports business continues to thrive, Jones said, and the boat slip waitlist has reached well over 100 customers.

“We have had permits approved to add 70 more slips to our dry storage, and we will begin that this upcoming winter,” Jones said. “We’re so excited for this summer. Folks are itching to be outside, enjoy great food and some new adventures. I can’t wait for folks to see this incredible go-kart track. They’re never going to want to stop racing.”

Harbour Town Marina harbormaster Leslie Whitener said that traffic in the marina is reaching all-time-high levels.

The rebuilding of the legendary Quarterdeck restaurant continues, as well as the renovation of the harbormaster offices.

Both projects are on track to be completed by spring 2022.

“It’s such an exciting time to be out here and on the water. You can feel it from everyone from our guests to our staff,” Whitener said. “Getting past this pandemic and being excited for a fun summer – that’s what’s on everyone’s minds.”

PREVENT KITCHEN FIRES

Did you know cooking is the main cause of home fires and fire injuries? Prevent cooking fires with these steps.

Stand by your pan: if you leave the kitchen, turn off the burner Watch what you are cooking: fires start when the heat is too high. If you see smoke or grease starts to boil, turn the burner off.

Turn pot handles toward the back of the stove: then no one can bump them or pull them over.

Keep a pan lid or baking sheet nearby: use it to cover the pan if it catches on fire. This will put out the fire.

Congregation’s dream of three decades soon to become reality

By Lynne Cope Hummell EDITOR

Ceremonial shovels topped with white hard hats stood mostly in a row, dug slightly into the dirt mound in a lot next to Mount Calvary Missionary Baptist Church on a recent Saturday morning. In front of the row, one shovel stood apart.

That shovel, Rev. Deonia Simmons said in his opening remarks, was there to honor Rev. Ben Williams, pastor of the church from 1975 until his passing in 2016. It was Williams who fostered the dream to someday build a new sanctuary on the church’s land on Squire Pope Road.

After the program, Carolyn Grant, a longtime church member, pointed out a wooden sign nearby, obviously weather worn and a bit bedraggled, on the edge of the groundbreaking site. “That sign has been standing there since the mid-90s,” she said.

That was when the congregation, led

forward to the day when their new sanctuary would be built.

That time is drawing near.

Simmons said planning in earnest had begun about two years ago. “We had a planning meeting and design meeting to

gauge our costs,” he said. Tom Parker, principal of Tom Parker Design, Architects, designed the new building.

Construction will begin with a parking lot, Simmons said, and that could happen very soon. The sanctuary itself will be

started as soon as materials become available.

“Due to COVID, our original construction plan is going to be longer than we planned,” he said. “A number of supplies and materials that were once easy to get are now on back order. What we thought would be an 8 or 9 month project might turn out to be a year.”

The new building will include a sanctuary, administrative offices, a choir room and meeting rooms. The sanctuary will provide seating for about 300 parishioners and 44 choir members.

The current sanctuary seats about 135 comfortably, Simmons said. Following completion of the new building, he said, “We plan to convert (this one) into the Ben Williams Fellowship Hall.”

“This project has been a long time coming. We are excited and grateful to be part of what God is doing at Mount Calvary,” Simmons said. “I’m grateful that Rev. Ben brought me in and allowed me to be his assistant.”

COURTESY SEA PINES RESORT

Longtime coworkers and friends Cary Corbitt, left, and John Farrell take time for a photo.

By Tim Wood CONTRIBUTOR

When we talk about torches passed, guards changing or new sheriffs in town, the first thing people tend to think about is inevitable new philosophies and the changes that come with that.

Not quite so for Cary Corbitt and John Farrell at Sea Pines. Here, we’re talking about two legends of Lowcountry hospitality. Corbitt has spent 44 years at the resort, 37 of them as mentor to Farrell. So when he stepped down as vice president of sports and operations on May 14 and Farrell was promoted from director of golf to take Corbitt’s position, the change was more of a turning over of the family business.

“Cary’s been a great mentor. We have a tremendous relationship, based on doing the right thing for our guests,” Farrell said of taking the reins from Corbitt. “We’re very different folks. I’m an Irish Catholic from Massachusetts, he’s a Southern gentleman. I like Clemson, he likes USC. But we’re Brady and Belichick really, and of course I’m Brady, the handsome one.”

After a pause for a laugh, Farrell turns serious in reflecting on their shared core values when it comes to customer service.

“We may have different styles, but we both have servants’ hearts. That person in front of us is the most important person, from the minute we step on property to the minute we leave.”

Corbitt, who first fell in love with Hilton Head and Sea Pines as a teen golfer touring the island, couldn’t let the Brady-Belichick beauty quip go unanswered.

“Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, I guess,” Corbitt said with a sly smile before giving equally effusive praise to Farrell.

“I recognized early and often that John was a leader and it was an honor to work alongside him for 30 years,” Corbitt said.

“We had some lean years, some times when behind the scenes was uncertain and we’re fighting through bankruptcy, but John and I always worked to make sure that the owners got top-notch service and that the guests always got the highest attention we could give.”

Farrell has been integral in the continued elevation and evolution of excellence in the resort’s three golf courses since joining Sea Pines in 1989, but now, he will be responsible for all golf operations – including golf maintenance and

Manage a first or second home with ease When you’re at home, an automation system is an easy way to control music, lights, shades, video and more, so you can create an enjoyable atmosphere and run your house efficiently. But did you know a home automation system is also a useful tool when you’re away from home? Whether you are simply taking a vacation or you own a second home, having the ability to control and manage your properties from a distance offers peace of mind and greater security.

Second home owners are finding the benefits especially useful because home automation can be tailored to fit individual needs. Create scenes with presets for temperature and lighting for your weekend arrival. Check in on your property during the week with video surveillance. Make sure you remembered to turn off lights and lock all doors after you left. Get alerts if a door or window has been opened. Control entry on your device instead of keeping up with extra keys. You can even maintain the outside with automated sprinkler and pool controls.

As consumers move toward creating homes that are fully integrated, managing a second property becomes easier than ever.

To make sure you get the most benefit from a home automation system, it’s important to choose quality, reliable products that are installed by a professional.

Knowing which products work best together and what elements of home automation should be wired will ensure that your home automation system provides optimum performance. For example, choosing a quality home security camera with added benefits such as night vision detection, infrared illumination and motion analytics, means if you are away and lighting conditions are poor, the cameras still perform well. If you live near the water, marine cameras with waterproof features that prevent corrosion are your best choice.

A professional can help you choose the products that work best for your specific situation.

When you have peace of mind, you can enjoy life more. The experts at Custom Audio Video are here to help you navigate the options. To learn more about all of our home or business automation products, visit Custom Audio Video today.

LEGENDS from page 16A overseeing golf operations for the RBC Heritage. He will also manage tennis operations, which includes Sea Pines’ long-standing relationship with the Smith Stearns Tennis Academy.

“Cary has done an amazing job during the past four decades improving, expanding and enhancing every aspect of our golf and tennis operations,” said Steve Birdwell, president of The Sea Pines Resort. “All three of our championship golf courses have been rebuilt under Cary’s leadership and two new award-winning golf clubhouses have been constructed.

We are so appreciative of Cary’s contributions to our resort and the community during his tenure.”

Birdwell felt fortunate to not have to look far to find a worthy successor.

“Filling Cary’s shoes is a monumental task, but John is extremely qualified and well regarded in the national golf community,” added Birdwell. “He is very passionate about golf, Sea Pines, and Hilton Head Island, and is constantly searching for ways to improve our guest service and operations to remain the premier resort on the Southeast coast.”

Farrell said that this new position is the next chapter in a career dream since he left his hometown of Pittsfield, Mass., for Springfield College and a post-graduate move to Hilton Head.

“I was blessed to start at Shipyard Golf Club as an assistant golf pro, a place that had a reputation for attracting and training folks that wanted to make golf a career,” he said. “To have experience both there and at Oyster Reef Golf Club, it was a blessing. But when you get to the island, the dream is Harbour Town.”

Farrell was named head pro at Harbour Town in 1991 and promoted to director of golf in 2009. He said his time learning under the Corbitt’s tutelage was a masterclass in treating every guest like they’re the most important person at the resort.

“Cary had a relentless pursuit for better, to be the best you can possibly be every day. That’s a drive that was instilled in me by my mother and father and Cary just helped me hone and elevate that passion and pursuit of excellence,” Farrell said.

“This is a bucket list day for our guest, that one week a year many get here is their everything. So the person in front of you at any moment is the one that

deserves our utmost dedication to the highest level of service.”

Farrell said that now, as he works to uphold and extend Corbitt’s standards, he reflects to his childhood, growing up across the street from Pittsfield Country Club, his work as a caddie there and his time learning from his father.

“My dad, he was a man who treated the locker room attendants with the same respect as the chairman of the board, that’s who he was,” Farrell said. “Cary had that same approach. So for me, this new position is about taking our service efforts to an ever higher level. That’s always the challenge, what drives me. I mean, listen, this isn’t a job. This is a blessing to get to lace up my shoes and come here every morning.”

While cosmetic upgrades and capital improvements are always happening, Farrell said that “higher level” is less about material things and more about a feeling.

“You want every guest to know in their gut that when they depart here, every touching point, every interaction we have with them without exception, they know I appreciated them and feel like their choice to come here was the best decision of their life.”

Corbitt said he and Farrell shared that determination to serve, whether in the resort or in helping to build and organize the Lowcountry community of golf professionals.

“I worked with some amazing folks. I think of all the staff that was with us for 30, 40, 50 years. It’s family,” he said. “We demanded a lot of our team and thankfully, the company has always made sure they feel rewarded for those efforts.”

It’s the kind of commitment that led to Corbitt and Farrell both being inducted into the Lowcountry Golf Hall of Fame.

Farrell has won just about every honor that is awarded both in his profession and by his Lowcountry hospitality peers.

But he says the new position is far from a career victory lap.

“All of that, it’s flattering and humbling and you want to always make sure you’re worthy of such praise and to always keep earning it,” Farrell said. “One of my greatest joys is building teams, instilling excellence in those just starting their ca-

“I don’t want staff that say, ‘I did what you told me to.’ Listen, I have struck lightning twice in my career. To work with Charles Fraser and now with Steve Birdwell, these are two people that never rest until they have squeezed every bit of innovation out of a day,” Farrell said.

“Their commitment to building this resort is immeasurable. So it’s my duty to always train a team that sees challenges as opportunities in disguise, people that embrace conflict resolution, that look forward to exceeding guest expectations.”

Corbitt said if there was one thing he’d say to his successor, it’s to continue to eradicate procrastination whenever possible.

“John knows I could never stand it. My parents wouldn’t allow it, and John and I

share that idea that you stay as late as you need to, to get done today what needs to be done.”

Farrell looks forward to leading the charge for what’s next at Sea Pines, which currently includes projects such as the rebuilding of the Quarterdeck restaurant and construction of employee housing.

“There are so many good things ahead.

I am blessed to have someone like Steve that’s committed to always elevating this resort,” Farrell said. “I’m blessed to have my wife, Jane, my three kids who have loved me, motivated me and put up with my crazy hours in pursuit of this life of ultimate service to our guests. I love that my commute is three minutes – four or five with a stiff wind. But above all, I love the people, our crew. I’m a kid in a candy store here. So I always need to be earning this dream.”

What Makes The Seabrook So Affordable?

Before Select a villa for Purchase or Entry Fee Contract—choose which option works best for you.

• Pay the Seabrook Membership before move-in, which is $19,000 for a single and $23,000 for a couple.

• A "move-in" date is agreed upon by all parties: Buyer, Seller and The Seabrook. The day you move in you are responsible for the Resident Monthly Fee. •

“The Entry Fee living option was the best choice for us. We were able to move in quickly. Our villa was totally renovated – new vinyl plank flooring, new carpet, coffered ceilings, new bathrooms, etc. Maintenance is included and you stop paying the monthly fee when you leave. By far the most affordable senior living community on Hilton Head Island.”

“My kids live on Hilton Head. I retired to Florida. I came for a family visit, got introduced to The Seabrook and said “I’m going to live here.” I chose the Entry Fee program because I didn’t want to own property anymore. You know exactly what it’s going to cost and it is very affordable. It’s like you’re on a cruise. Seabrook takes care of everything.”

“I followed in Monique’s footsteps from Florida to Hilton Head. When I saw how nice her place was, I decided to move right away. The best living choice for me was the Entry Fee option. You have a beautiful villa which includes housekeeping, WIFI, cable TV, new flooring, crown molding, etc., and when you leave you don’t pay the monthly fee anymore. You actually get a refund! It’s extremely affordable and the food is unbelievably good!”

HURRICANE PREP

Hurricane season is upon us; are you prepared?

By Gwyneth J. Saunders CONTRIBUTOR

By any standard, 2020 was pretty much a wipe-out, but the one thing Beaufort County residents did not have to deal with was hurricanes, or even much in the way of heavy weather.

Last year was not only unusual, but contrary to what the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration predicted. According to NOAA’s web site, the rest of the country dealt with a “record-breaking 30 named storms and 12 land-falling storms in the continental United States.”

Six of the hurricanes were Category 3 or higher – major storms with winds of 111 mph or greater. It was the most storms on record.

Anyone who was in our community in October 2016 remembers Hurricane Matthew, a deadly and costly Category 5 that ripped through Haiti and other parts of the Caribbean, and mercifully only passed close to shore at Hilton Head as a mere Category 1 with winds of 74-95 mph.

Considering how much havoc that wreaked on the island, it is wise not to take any threat of a hurricane lightly.

What should be noted is the prediction for what kind of hurricane season will develop is the same this year: “Forecasters predict a 60% chance of an above-normal season, a 30% chance of a near-normal season, and a 10% chance of a below-normal season. However, experts do not anticipate the historic level of storm activity seen in 2020,” according to NOAA. In fact, the weather experts predict 13 to 20 named storms; 6 to 10 might become actual hurricanes; and 3 to 5 could rise to the level of major hurricanes, Cat 3 and above.

The Atlantic hurricane season extends from June 1 through Nov. 30, so if you haven’t begun preparing, it’s time to start.

The good thing about hurricanes – if

there is any good thing – is there will be plenty of notice that one is coming, its potential strength and where it might land, even though we have seen enough multi-colored spaghetti model storm patterns the past several years to make us all skeptical about forecasts.

If you do not already have it, now is the time to file for flood insurance. In low-lying areas – this is called the Lowcountry for a reason – more damage is caused by storm surge than wind. Nearly all insurance companies require policy holders to be on the flood insurance for no less than 30 days before filing a claim.

If you are unsure whether you are in a vulnerable location for storm surge, visit scemd.org/prepare/know-your-zone.

Be prepared early When an evacuation order comes out from the governor’s office in Columbia, residents in the areas advised to evacuate have time to pack up and leave. The best advice is do it now and not two days before you think the storm might hit.

Avoid the panic. Prepare early for people, pets, prescriptions and personal items. (See checklist on page 26A.) Prepare your home: • If you have hurricane shutters, put them up early enough so you’re not doing that at the last minute.

• Corral all of the items not nailed down in your yard. Lawn furniture, flowers pots, garden hoses, hanging flowers, even grills can become projectiles with a heavy enough wind. Secure items in a garage or other structure, or tie down as best you can. Don’t forget to put away the kids’ toys as well.

HURRICANE from page 22A law enforcement.

If staying home: If you choose to remain during a storm, be prepared to be on your own for a day or two if the weather is severe and causes widespread damage. You could be without water and electricity. First responders might not be available or able to reach you if you have a crisis. Prepare an emergency kit with basic first aid materials, and plenty of food and water for each person to last at least 72 hours.

The following are a few internet resources for emergency preparation suggestions: FloodTools.com, Ready.gov, SCEMD.org and CDC.gov/disasters.

Returning home Once the governor lifts the evacuation order, your county or community might not be ready for you to return. The best way to know if you can get home safely is to go to any of several official sources.

Do not rely on the information of friends, nor Joe and Jane who live next door and never saw one raindrop.

If the hurricane has caused substantial

damage, access will be permitted only as needed in a gradual process. There might also be a curfew.

The Hurricane Hotline number is 1-800-963-5023. Choose your community from those listed in the menu options. This phone number will be activated only in the event of an evacuation.

Official sources of information Following lessons learned during past evacuations, county and municipal agencies will use social media to disseminate unified messages during any emergency situations, such as hurricanes.

Many gated communities have specific guidelines for preparations and evacuations. For example, the Community Association encourages Sun City residents to visit the Hurricane Awareness page of SunCityHiltonHead.org for all Sun City-specific hurricane information.

Resident login is required to access the page.

For answers to lots of questions about hurricane season, the Town of Bluffton has a list of frequently asked questions at

townofbluffton.sc.gov/FAQ. The Town of Hilton Head has a “Guide to Emergency Preparedness” available for downloading from its website at hiltonheadislandsc.gov. Go to the Publications pull-down menu and click on Guides & Manuals. It’s available in English and Spanish.

A handy pocket guide, available in English and Spanish, is also available at Hilton Head fire stations, Facilities Management and the Town Hall.

Because there is only one road on and off the island, advanced preparation is critical. Information also includes transportation details for those who have no reliable way to evacuate the island.

Refer to Facebook pages for Bluffton, Hilton Head, Beaufort County and local law enforcement agencies: facebook.com/ TownBlufftonSC; TownofHiltonHeadIslandSC; beaufortcountysc; blufftonpolice; and BeaufortCoSO. The Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office is in the process of redesigning its website, BCSO.net, and expects it to be up and running in early June. It is planned to

be user friendly with many new features that are expected to be interesting and informative.

BCSO can also be found on the neighborhood platform Nextdoor at nextdoor. com, which will provide the same up-todate information as Nixle and the BCSO website.

Sign up for mobile phone emergency updates from the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office with the free app Everbridge (Nixle): Text your ZIP code to 888777.

The Beaufort County Community Preparedness app provides numerous tools, including an evacuation map, flashlight and an option to “Share My Status,” which will let family members know where you are. It is available from app stores.

Other helpful mobile phone apps include FEMA and SCEMD. Twitter users can follow @SCEMD, @ bftcountysc, @bcsopio, @BlufftonPolice, @TownofBluffton and @townofHHI. Gwyneth J. Saunders is a veteran journalist and freelance writer living in Bluffton.

Scanning the QR code here

• Know what hurricane storm surge zone you live in. Check the interactive map at scemd.org/prepare/know-yourzone.

• People and pets: Know who and what you are taking with you. There are few shelters that will take pets, so prepare in time to find those that will, and do not leave them behind.

• Prescriptions: For people and pets, enough for two weeks or more; eyeglass/ contact prescriptions, body braces, mobility items, etc.

• Papers: Wills, deeds, insurance, marriage certificates, etc.

Personal needs: non-perishable food, clothing, blankets; pet food, cages/leashes/litter boxes, litter – comfort items.

• Priceless items: Wedding pictures, memorabilia, military treasures, photo albums, valuables.

• Check your household gas, water and electricity – turn everything off and be

careful upon your return, especially about the gas.

• Have a way to get in touch with immediate family members. Plan how to let family members out of the area know your plans and that you are safe.

• Do not count on cellular communications and GPS. If towers go down or you run out of battery power, you will need the same information, including maps, all phone contacts and other important details.

• Keep your automobile gas tanks full.

Carry enough cash to fill up along your planned evacuation routes. Some gas stations might lose power and be unable to pump gas or may run out as those evacuating pass through. Gas trucks might not be able to reach the stations quickly.

• Make advance reservations if you will need a place to stay along your desired travel route.

WHAT TO DO BEFORE A HURRICANE • Get flood insurance now. Standard homeowner’s insurance does not cover flooding. Go to the National Flood Insurance Program at floodsmart.gov. More than 75 percent of Beaufort County will flood more under Hurricane Category 1 conditions.

• Continue to listen to NOAA radio for information from National Weather Service.

• Create an evacuation plan and communicate that with family and friends living elsewhere.

• Keep car gas tank filled. Gas stations that might be open will be few and far between with long lines.

• Check disaster supplies. Refresh as needed.

• Bring inside anything that can be picked up by high winds: lawn furniture, flowerpots, flags, decorations, toys.

• Evacuate if advised by authorities. There will be no voluntary evacuation order. The governor will issue the evacuation order.

• Turn off the water to your house before leaving. The turn-off valve will be located somewhere on your property.

• Do not turn off electricity to your house. Turn refrigerator and freezer to the highest setting and keep closed.

• Turn off propane tanks and unplug small appliances.

• Close windows, doors and hurricane shutters. If you do not have shutters, close and board up all windows and doors with plywood.

• Learn about your community’s hurricane response plan.

A HILTON HEAD ISLAND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT NEWSPAPER

Point of order! hhihs Model un conquers virtual competitions By: Ronnie maldonando mota

Model UN is a highly awarded club at HHIHS. In Model UN students act as delegates representing a country from the United Nations. They research their countries, write resolutions on global topics for competition, and debate on the resolutions that are selected for competition.

There were a lot of changes to Model UN because of COVID-19. During the e-learning and hybrid learning schedules "we met on Zoom. We would meet on Wednesdays at 4pm during hybrid Photo by: Mr. Lorenz learning" said Model UN advisor Ms. Spisz.

"Once we went back five days a week,

Cynthia Gudaitis, Kristina Heskett, Ashley Ames, and Hayden Bird represented Dominican Republic and earned Best Country at Winthrop.

Model UN would meet almost everyday after school since we were in the middle of competition season. All students who were virtually learning would meet with the team on Zoom. The research the delegates do has always been done online. This year instead of competing face-to-face, we had to compete entirely online. We competed in four virtual conferences this school year," stated Ms. Spisz.

Two of the conferences were national conferences, which were virtually held at the College of William and Mary, and the University of Florida. Model UN also competed virtually at the Winthrop University Conference and the Beaufort County Conference, which HHIHS was the 2020 Best School Delegation award winner. Model UN discussed a variety of global topics this year. According to Ms. Spisz, "at the Beaufort Conference delegates debated topics such as universal health care. Students debate different types of global topics based on the committee they are assigned. The types of committees are dependent upon the different conferences. At the Winthrop Conference, Model UN covered topics on climate change, infrastructure, health care, poverty etc."

HHIHS Model UN won Best Resolution and Best Country at Winthrop and placed second. At the national Gator MUN Conference, HHIHS placed 37th in the Southeast Region. HHIHS Model UN looks forward to competing again next year at county, regional, and national conferences.

Tess Sanford, representing Saudi Arabia earned Best Resolution at Winthrop.

CELEBRATING THE CLASS OF 2021 By: Briana Munafo

Hilton Head Island High School seniors participated in the annual senior cap and gown pictures. Seniors had four package options to choose from, ranging from $14.99 to $74.99. Around 70 seniors signed up and participated in the senior pictures. Cap and gown pictures were taken by LifeTouch, using Lumix M1 Mirrorless Cameras. The pictures were taken the last week of April. According to Mrs. Schoelkopf-Lewis,

"these senior pictures are not going to be included in the year book." These photos are individually sold to students and families for the memories. Seniors have separate senior photos in the yearbook. Underclassmen should think about purchasing Senior Cap and Gown photos their senior year.

HHIHS celebrates the seniors in several different ways throughout the last several weeks of school. Honoring the accomplishments of each graduating class is a school wide celebration!

Another senior celebration is Military and College Decision Day, which is celebrated in May. Mrs. Dopson, a counselor at HHIHS says "the event in general is an opportunity to celebrate the academic accomplishments of graduating high school seniors Photo by: Briana Munafo and give the underclassmen a chance to see the excitement of Some members of the senior class representing making decisions in your senior year of high school. The their college or military branch shirts for celebration of college and military decisions is sponsored by the Military and College Decision Day S.C Commission on Higher Education.

STOP THE PRESSES! BREAKING NEWS FROM HHIHS BY: WILL BROGAN

Some important breaking news from Hilton Head Island High School to end the school year. The HHIHS School Improvement Council (SIC) has been busy this school year, and the SIC was able to achieve several goals. The teacher of the year has also been announced!

The first SIC goal achieved was HHIHS's ranking in the U.S. News & World Report rankings for Best High Schools. This report had data from 24,000 public high schools in all 50 states and the D.C. area. 18,000 schools of the 24,000 were "ranked on six factors based on their performance on state assessments and how well they prepare students for college" said Hilton Head Island High School principal Mr. Schidrich.

The factors for ratings are: College Readiness, Math and Reading Proficiency, Math and Reading Performance, Underserved Student Performance, College Curriculum Breadth, and Graduation Rate.

Mr. Schidrich announced the week of May 9, 2021 that "Hilton Head Island High School was the #1 high school in Beaufort County. HHIHS is ranked #10 in the state of South Carolina out of 243 high schools. Finally, HHIHS is ranked #1,588 in the nation with 24,000 high schools in the U.S. getting evaluated, and the 17,857 receiving a rating. Therefore, HHIHS is in the top 7% (out of 24,000), or top 9% out of 17,857 schools being evaluated."

The HHIHS School Improvement Council also won an award this year. They won the SC-SIC’s fourth annual "Award of Merit for SIC Report to the Parents." This was announced during an online awards ceremony on May 1st. There is a state law that requires each SIC in South Carolina to prepare and release a "Report to the Parents" every spring. This report informs the school community about the progress of achieving school improvement goals.

Mr. Schidrich also gave an update on the Referendum plans for HHIHS. This summer there will be a technology update. He said, "we will get a server and rewire parts of the building. We are also getting a security upgrade with new and better cameras."

"There are plans to create and/or hire an architectural firm to build a new HHIHS in the next Referendum, or to completely renovate this school. Those plans will be drawn or written in the next year or year and a half," Mr. Schidrich stated.

The last breaking news story is HHIHS's 2021-2022 Teacher of the Year and Staff Member of the Year! The Teacher of the Year is Ms. Bejan, who is a Special Education teacher. The staff member of the year is Mr. Sykes who is the Theater Technician.

HHIHS is ending the school year with a lot of great news!

The front desk will also get an upgrade in security. There will now be two doors instead of one before entering the building.

There will also be new lights and a new turf field and a new track. The money for this comes from "the November 2019 Referendum when the voters voted to allow the school district to borrow $364 million," Mr. Schidrich said.

THE show finally went on! by: axel meza HHIHS was able to perform a musical this spring.

Matilda: The Musical was produced by Ms. Guinn and her theater students. It has been in production since January 2020 and was supposed to be performed the week that school got shut down for COVID-19 last year. The show lost all its senior actors, so they had to re-cast some main roles. The Seahawk Theater Company had to redo most of the musical, but they started rehearsing in March. All actors and staff totaled to 40 people.

Ms. Guinn explains the plot, “Matilda is a young girl bullied by her classmates and her principal Mrs. Trunchbull; she's a smart kid and she develops powers. She uses those powers to defeat those bullies, and she gets to live happily ever after."

The seating capacity operated at 40% or 200 seats per show in the school auditorium, also known as The Seahawk Cultural Center. Families were able to sit next to each other, but friends had to sit two seats apart because of the social distancing protocols. Any young children were able sit next to their parents, temperatures were taken when the audience entered the building in order to comply with COVID-19 safety rules.

The audience was able to purchase tickets virtually on the theater website which is www.hhihstheater.org.

Matilda: The Musical opened April 22 and ran through April 25. Each show started 7pm, but Sunday the matinee started at 2 pm.

The audience seemed to enjoy the show as each night was sold out, and the audience laughed and interacted with the cast.

The Seahawk Theater Company staged another great show, and HHIHS is looking forward to the 2021-2022 theater season.

Ms. Guinn says, “The musical ran two hours long with a 15 minute intermission to buy snacks.”

SPECIAL OLYMPICS RETURNS TO THE 1IELD y: Isabella Marx

Special Olympics is a yearly event in which learners with exceptionalities, or Special Olympians participate in track and field events. Special Olympics is usually where all the schools in Beaufort County gather together at the Hilton Head Island High School Stadium.

However, due to COVID-19, different schools are opting to participate at their own locations. The Hilton Head Island cluster Special Olympics was held on May 7, 2021 from 10am-12pm. The event had opening ceremonies and torch carriers.

Photo by: Briana Munafo

“Special Olympics has been an event in the area for about 15 years," says Ms. Johnson.

“Special Olympics is a state wide program.

You can go on the South Carolina Special Olympics website to see more information,” Ms. Johnson said.

Special Olympics is an amazing event.

Congratulations to the HHIHS 2021 Special Olympians on a great day!

All of the Special Olympians, as well as the general education population, came and supported the athletes for unified spirit week. There were many different events, such as Cornhole, Zumba dancing, Parachute game, Connect four, track and field activities, and a small soccer game.

Life of the assistant administrator by: Ana 1ierros Ms. Karszes is one of the administrators at HHIHS who is in charge of the ninth grade. She is great at taking care of students and staff with her passion for teaching, and the creativity she brings.

Q: What experiences have you had other than being an administrator?

A: I taught 7th – 9th grade English in Amarillo, Texas for eight years. I taught 9-11th grade English for 16 years at HHIHS. I was the IB MYP (Middle Years Coordinator) for eight years. I was also the English Department Chairperson for eight years as well.

Q: What kinds of other “plan b” jobs would you have if you never chose to become an administrator/teacher” A: I did not begin my career as a teacher. I went to The Citadel and was obtaining my MBA – Masters in Business Administration with a concentration in Marketing. I ended up not finishing that degree and moving away to Amarillo, Texas. There I began as substitute teacher while I remodeled a home. I fell in love with the classroom, the students, and the teachers. So, I went through PACE and obtained a teaching certificate. I have been teaching ever since.

Photo by: Ms. Guinn

Q: How do you handle a challenging problem?

A: I slow down and think about it from different perspectives. I use the guidelines of the district and school to guide decisions. I talk to the other Assistant Principals and the Principal. I make the decision and follow through. If it doesn’t work out, we adjust and try again.

Q: What are your strengths to as an better administrator?

A: I believe I learn something every day. I try to listen to all points of view. I believe I have a good rapport with students and try to be fair and equitable to all.

Q: Is there anything that you would like to change in the school?

A: If I had a magic wand and could change some things in the school, these are the changes: No student would wear HOODIES! No student would be TARDY! More students would challenge themselves to take on the IB Diploma Program.

BUSINESS UPDATE

More convenience, indoor golf and outlet stores on the way

By Tim Wood CONTRIBUTOR

Just when we think that the wave of new business openings has reached its peak, the news of new ventures just keeps coming. Here’s the latest business buzz around Bluffton and Hilton Head Island.

New Parker’s coming: We talked about a permit on Bluffton Parkway for a new gas station and convenience store a couple of issues back. Well, it’s official.

Parker’s is looking to build on the spot at the corner of the Parkway and Oliver Court, directly across from EnMarket.

They have posted a public notice sign on the lot, alerting folks they have submitted a permit to build.

Parker’s also recently broke ground on a new Hilton Head Island location in Sea Turtle Marketplace, diagonally across from a new upgraded Circle K that sprung from the rubble of the former Cir-

cle K at U.S. 278 and Mathews Drive.

Both new builds are slated to be Parker’s Kitchen locations, offering grab-andgo meals cooked on-site.

Indoor golf wars begin: We told you about Chronic Golf, a new indoor golf and sports simulator bar and grill opening on New Orleans Road. The exciting new concept, which will let you play some of the world’s most challenging golf courses, also offers other sports like football, baseball and soccer. The new concept from husband and wife team Jeff and Ashley Smith is gearing up for a mid-June soft opening.

Driving through Tanger 2, we also noticed a “Coming Soon” sign for a new X-Golf location in the parking-lot-adjacent store space next to Narwhal Gifts and across from Build-A-Bear Workshop.

Based on other locations, the franchise feels less like a hangout that Chronic aims to be and more like a Top Golf location.

quickly from zero roofed golfing spots to three in the very near future.

More openings at Tanger: We already told you about the recently opened and highly acclaimed La Pizzeria at Tanger 2.

Now, the outlet stores mall is welcoming a trio of new stores. L+B Boutique features a combination of women’s and children’s clothing, indoor and outdoor home décor and furnishings, and an array of beauty and wellness products. A new Lids cap Lengua tacos with guacamole, cotija cheese, franchise has also recently opened at pickled red onion and cilantro with a side of Tanger 2. charro beans, just one of the menu items at the Over at Tanger 1, Carolina Me Crazy new Toro Latin and Asian Fare. recently celebrated its grand opening at Suite 301 in between Michael Kors and It features simulators using proprietary X-Golf technology, and offers lessons with Van Heusen.

LYNNE COPE HUMMELL

Attendees at a dedication ceremony May 20 at Celebration Park check out the newest Palmetto Breeze Trolley, No. 1964. The vehicle was named Harley, to honor the official four-legged greeter, Harley the Clydesdale horse, who lived at Lawton Stables until he died earlier this year. Harley is the fourth trolley in the fleet, offering free rides daily along mid-island and south-island routes through Labor Day. The trolleys are operated by the Lowcountry Regional Transportation Authority (LRTA). For more information, visit breezetrolley.com.

UPDATE from page 36A New eatery in old Crave locale: Toro Latin and Asian Fare has opened in the former Crave by Daniels spot at 2 North Forest Beach Drive across from Coligny Plaza. The eatery is from the creators of Chez George Bistro and Bar on the island’s South End. Owner George Casalicchio has teamed with executive chef and partner Eric Golden for a combo of Latino and Korean favorites such as tacos, poke bowls and cerviche.

Familiar name, kind of: The Sheridan Park location that was more recently Sebastian’s and known mostly as Sigler’s is being transformed into a new deli and restaurant from a familiar face.

Stacy Gruber worked with her uncle at Gruby’s on Hilton Head for more than 30 years and has decided to open her own similarly themed eatery, Grooby’s, Too! (Yes, you’re seeing the spelling correctly.)

Gruber said she hopes to be open the first week of July if construction proceeds as planned.

More doings at New River Crossing:

The storefronts around the new Publix are starting to take shape. A physical therapy office has hung a permit on the window next to the AT&T store. Work continues on the stand-alone Starbucks location. And reliable sources tell me that Bill’s Liquors, a long-time staple in Kittie’s Crossing, is planning a new store in the plaza.

New mobile vet takes to the road: Veterinarian Dr. Jessica Forster has opened Fetch A Vet mobile veterinary services. After nearly two decades of office practice in Connecticut and Oklahoma, Forster moved to Bluffton with her family in 2019 and has been planning the service since she arrived.

Fetch A Vet offers wellness exams, allergy and pain management, vaccines, heartworm testing and end-of-life care for your pet. Call 843-580-6209 or visit fetchavetsc.com to book an in-home visit.

Employ technology, even online movies, to celebrate dad

By Lynn Hall CONTRIBUTOR

Sunday, June 20, is a day to honor fathers and the challenging yet rewarding role of parenthood. This Father’s Day, due to the pandemic, you might be spending more or less time with your family, depending on your living situation.

Regardless, technology allows us to connect with the father figures in our lives via Facetime, Zoom, and of course, the old-fashioned way – the telephone.

Whether you are spending time with Dad or honoring him from afar, celebrate Father’s Day with one of these movies that tell a tale of fatherhood.

Field of Dreams: Based on the novel “Shoeless Joe” by W.P Kinsella, this movie tells a story about imagination and passion. Kevin Costner stars as an Iowan corn farmer, husband and father who hears a voice that motivates him to build a baseball field in the middle of their farm.

Costner’s character suffers from a broken relationship with his late father, leaving him scared to live a life without achievement.

Father of the Bride: A dad’s nightmare comes true when his “little girl” grows up and gets engaged to a man he barely knows. Steve Martin plays the role of the outraged and concerned father to his 22-year-old daughter, who announces she is getting married.

This movie is the perfect comedy to

laugh about the drama of wedding planning and the anxiety of “giving away” a daughter.

The Pursuit of Happiness: Will Smith plays a homeless salesman fighting to make ends meet for his son. Smith’s son, Jaden Smith, co-stars as his on-screen son, making his film debut.

This heavy yet heartfelt movie tells the story of a father never giving up while facing adversity as he builds a future for himself and his son.

Eighth Grade: Comedian Bo Burnham’s comedy is a wonderfully cringe-worthy coming-of-age story. This film is full of classic awkward moments that Kayla, like many other ’tween girls, encounters growing up. Kayla’s complex relationship with her single dad is touching and relatable to many.

The Game Plan: This family-friendly comedy tells the story of an NFL quarterback whose bachelor lifestyle is interrupted when he finds out he has an 8-year-old daughter.

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson stars as the new father navigating unfounded territory.

This heartwarming movie is perfect for watching with children and grandchildren.

You can find these and other movies on TV channels such as AMC, Hallmark, and HBO or stream them without buffering online.

Lynn Hall is the general manager of Hargray.

2020. Those four numbers are all anyone needs to say to explain the way some people’s shoulders are hunched, the wrinkles around eyes have gotten more pronounced, or why many might be carrying around some extra weight.

COVID-19 has caused personal and economic devastation that, to some extent, nearly all have experienced. It has interrupted the American educational system from kindergarten all the way through grad school, to include medical, nursing, and other allied health professional schools. And the American medical system has had to learn a new infectious disease for the first time since the AIDS epidemic.

Many professionals in the medical community have been asking what can be done to mitigate the devastation of COVID-19 before patients reach the emergency room to manage the complications. There are two major issues that are believed to have the biggest impact: obesity and stress-induced hormone imbalances. In all actuality, those two go hand in hand.

Obesity is the biggest risk factor for severe COVID-19 disease (and many other known diseases) across all age ranges. There’s good news though: obesity is a modifiable risk factor.

Does it require hard work to change? Yes. But obesity is not permanent. The amount of work that losing weight entails is often what paralyzes people into not even trying,

but the gains that weight loss would bring reach far beyond just prevention of severe COVID complications.

Benefits include improved cardiac function, decreased joint stress, improved energy level, increased mobility, and more.

Stress-induced hormonal imbalances are just as detrimental to lifespan and vitality as obesity, but not nearly as obvious. The internal derangement from chronic stress can lead to increased obesity – since your body is reacting as if you’re in a famine, it retains weight.

It can also bring about a poor immune system and decreased energy and activity, as this is a body’s way of limiting caloric output in what it thinks to be a “famine” setting. All of this adds up, leading back and compounding the high risk for severe COVID-19 complications and other diseases.

Now, more than ever, is the time to take control of your health. Making conscious choices to better yourself through exercise and nutrition will pay off tenfold, adding years to your life and life to your years.

Not only will you strengthen your chances of avoiding severe COVID-19 symptoms, you will also reap the benefits of a happy, healthy life.

HEALTH

Man up! Healthy lifestyle includes regular health screenings

By Brad Kelly CONTRIBUTOR

They probably fall at the bottom of your to-do list. But, in recognition of Men’s Health Month, let’s take a look at those all-important health screenings you’ve been putting off that could serve to warn you of medical problems to come.

First of all, starting at age 18, men Brad Kelly should have a physical exam annually to assess their health risks, update vaccines and ensure they’re on a healthy track.

During these annual check-ups, your doctor may suggest changes to your diet, exercise routine or lifestyle to keep you going strong.

At minimum you should have the following screenings: • Blood pressure. High blood pressure, or hypertension, is one of the big risk factors for cardiovascular disease and stroke – two of the leading causes of death in the United States. Have it checked every year.

• Cholesterol. High blood cholesterol also is a major risk factor for heart disease. Starting at age 35, you should have a lipid profile every five years (and earlier if you have a family history or other risk factors for heart disease).

• Blood sugar. Glucose tests are done to check for diabetes. Your blood sugar should be tested every two years starting at age 35. If you’re overweight, are over 45 or have prediabetes, it should be tested more often.

Aging brings more risks. At age 45, men should also have their first colonoscopy, considered the gold standard for

colorectal cancer screening.

A colonoscopy can detect inflamed tissue, ulcers and abnormal growths called polyps, which can often be removed during the procedure. If the screening turns up clear and there is no family history of colorectal cancer, you don’t need to be tested again for 10 years.

The risk of prostate cancer also increases with age. Although only 1 in 10,000 men younger than 40 is diagnosed with prostate cancer, the rate shoots up significantly as you age. And it’s the most common non-skin cancer among American men, affecting 1 in 7.

The American Cancer Society recommends that men discuss the risks and benefits of prostate screening with their doctor before deciding whether to be tested. Guidelines differ on when you should start screening, but the general recommendation is age 50 for men with an average risk of prostate cancer.

Depending on your health history and lifestyle, your doctor might recommend screenings for infectious diseases, particularly sexually transmitted diseases, which are on the rise in all age groups In addition, the U.S. Preventative Services Task Force recently recommended that primary care physicians screen all adults for depression, the most common mental health condition in patients seen in primary care.

So, man up and get those screenings.

By identifying issues early, you can take steps to reduce your risk of developing serious diseases that could take years off your life.

Simply put, by getting your annual wellness exam you can live longer and better.

WELLNESS

Factors and changes that make the face look older as we age

By E. Ronald Finger CONTRIBUTOR

It happens to all of us: We get older every day. With age comes changes of all kinds, including changes to our face.

Here are nine areas of interest, along with tips for dealing with them.

Skin: Age spots, wrinkles, large pores, and loss of elasticity. Excess sun E. Ronald Finger exposure, smoking, poor nutrition, and not taking care of the skin causes more rapid appearance of aging.

Rx: Start with effective skin care.

You might also need a laser or a peel.

Beautiful skin alone can make one look much younger.

Hair: Thinning or receding hair line

in both men and women.

Rx: Hair transplant with micro-grafts, preferably FUE (follicular unit extraction) with Neograft, or strip excision technology called FUT. Results are usually permanent.

Loss of facial volume: Youthful faces are full and convex. Aging causes loss of volume in skin, fat and bone, causing shadows, sagging and hollows.

Rx: Fillers, often used in combinations for the best overall results. Fat grafts can also be used.

Sagging brow: Brows sag with age.

Rx: A brow lift can be performed effectively under local anesthesia. Botox can also be used for temporary brow elevation.

Upper eyelids: Excess skin and/or fat occurs with age or heredity which causes a “tired” appearance.

Rx: Upper eyelid lift, usually with local anesthesia. Very rewarding pro-

cedure.

Lower eyelids: Bags and/or excess skin may develop. Dark circles are usually shadows from protruding fat pads.

Rx: Surgery is often used to remove bags and skin. Lasers, plasma pen or chemical peels can be used to diminish wrinkles.

Crow’s feet, frown lines and forehead furrows: These are typical results from sun damage and animation.

Rx: Botox or Dysport, plasma pen, or certain CO2 lasers, such as the Tetra or Cool Peel.

Lips: Aging lips become thin, and the distance between the nose and upper lip elongates. The corners of the mouth might turn down, causing a “sad” appearance.

Rx: Lips fillers can add volume and/ or reduce wrinkles. A minor lip lift procedure can also be done with in-

conspicuous scarring under the nose – an excellent procedure when indicated, called a “buckhorn” excision.

Neck and jowls: Excess skin and/or fat develop.

Rx: Sagging neck, a mini- or full facelift is frequently best. When the problem is only fat, liposuction works very well. Often men want the excess neck skin removed with a direct vertical excision. Recovery time is minimal and scarring inconspicuous, and it effectively removes the extra skin.

For jowls mainly because of a sagging face, a facelift might be indicated. Loss of facial volume also causes sagging of the face and jowls. Re-volumizing the face with fillers or fat grafts might be indicated.

The challenges – and accomplishments – don’t go unnoticed

By Scott Wierman CONTRIBUTOR

Most of us can remember a time when we confronted a particularly tough personal challenge and emerged triumphant.

In the end, though we might have felt battle worn, our sense of accomplishment far outweighed the fatigue.

This past year has been sort of like that. Scott Wierman As we begin to rise from the ashes of the COVID-19 pandemic, we might feel depleted, but we can also feel pride in the way our community came together.

We are especially proud of our nonprofit community. These courageous organizations worked tirelessly to assist individuals

and families facing uncertainty – families who didn’t know where their next meal might come from, who worried that they’d lose the roof over their heads, or who were forced to juggle work and their children’s remote learning. The agility, problem solving and resilience these nonprofits organizations showed was impressive.

Our role throughout the pandemic has been to support frontline nonprofits through grantmaking from our COVID-19 response fund. In total, we distributed almost $720,000 in grants to nonprofits in Beaufort, Colleton, Hampton and Jasper counties.

We recently surveyed these grant recipients, and here are some of my observations after reading their responses.

• Nonprofits are excellent collaborators. We heard story after story about partnerships created to tackle pressing issues. Organizations addressing food insecurity, in particular, found ways to

work together. Food pantries partnered with other food pantries, suppliers and even farmers. A respondent wrote, “The pandemic has brought more attention to partnering, which is a great thing.”

• Nonprofits understand the importance of volunteers, especially during a crisis. Because of safety issues, many volunteers had to take a break, which put nonprofits in a bind. However, organizations found workarounds. “We were able to develop a coalition of 24 helping agencies and faith communities, which allowed us to deploy volunteers where they were most needed,” one respondent told us.

• Nonprofits know how to pivot.

Crisis fuels innovation. “We had to re-engineer our meal delivery program to help vulnerable individuals affected

by COVID-19,” one group told us. “We expanded meal delivery from five to six days, and adopted new safety practices.”

Other agencies revamped childcare pro-

grams to provide remote learning opportunities, which was critically important for parents unable to work from home.

• Nonprofits are creative problem-solvers. One organization that relies heavily on older volunteers, who, for safety reasons, could no longer volunteer, used their grant dollars to hire and pay local out-of-work food and beverage employees to do the work instead. What a smart idea!

• Nonprofits are scrappy. They know how to accomplish a lot with a little.

They’re creative problem solvers. And they do all of it with heart. During the pandemic they were called upon to do more than ever before.

We should all be proud of the immeasurable contributions our nonprofits make to our local communities.

FAITH

God expects us to bloom where we are planted

By Brett Myers CONTRIBUTOR

The people of God had been hauled off into Babylonian captivity. They were prisoners, living in the land of a people they considered heathens, which they were told would be the case for roughly 70 years. And God’s message to them? “Settle in and be a blessing to the people around you.”

Really?! You expect us to get comfortable and be nice about this?

In Jeremiah 29, we often quote the wellknown verse 11: “‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.’” What we sometimes miss is the power that comes in that statement because of its context.

This “hopeful future” would be one that most of the listeners would not see. It was great that their kids and grandkids would see their restoration, but most of those hear-

ing the message would die in captivity.

What we miss apart from context is that calling in verse 7: “Seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare.”

I believe that God was, through prophet Jeremiah, calling the people of God, while waiting for God’s promise to come to fruition, to make a difference in the here and now.

I believe that He was calling them not to be a people who sit and wait for something better amidst the trouble that their own actions had gotten them into, but to use this divine appointment as an opportunity to make a difference where God had planted them.

He was calling them to bloom where they were planted.

In a sense, we are all like God’s people in exile. Christ-followers are called in Scripture: sojourners, foreigners, and aliens.

Why? Because when we make the decision to accept God’s gift in Christ and become His child, we may still live here, but this is not our home.

Our home is the place we arrive after our last breath.

But, while we are here, we are called to make a difference in this place. I believe God’s call to His people through Jeremiah was like ours: to make a difference in the “here and now” so that we have opportunities to make a difference in the “there and then.”

As we desire to be good citizens where God has planted us, He provides opportunities for us to use as something else we are called in His Word: salt and light, and a city situated on a hill. Let our good actions not come from desires to appear any certain way, but from the overflow of Christ’s genuine love for the people around us.

Shelter cat assumes role of ‘Dad’ for homeless kitten

By Lindsay Perry CONTRIBUTOR

Every so often a cat comes to Palmetto Animal League with all the attributes of a doting dad. It’s heartwarming to see these big male cats become father figures for tiny kittens at our Adoption Center. They can often be seen grooming or playing with kittens and teaching them the all-important skill of napping.

PAL rescued one of these special cats recently and he quickly became a staff favorite. Orange Beard is a fun-loving fatherly type who enjoys chasing his own tail and entertaining his kitten friends with silly antics.

“He gets the zoomies (unmistakable explosions of energy) so intensely that he spooks himself,” said PAL adoption specialist Sally Dawkins with a laugh. “It’s pretty funny to witness.”

HVAC tune-ups, preventative care help save expenses later

By Dave Miller CONTRIBUTOR

Imagine having to go all winter without your heating, or all summer without your air conditioning. The thought alone might leave you sweating or freezing!

Getting routine seasonal HVAC tuneups is a great way to avoid those kinds of situations. Tune-ups help keep your heating and air conditioning running dependably for years to come, ensuring you’ll remain comfortable in your home.

In fact, preventative maintenance and HVAC tune-ups provide some other great benefits you and your family will surely enjoy.

Home ownership is costly, so you’ll want to cut costs in whatever ways you can. A great way to lower your monthly expenses is by reducing your utility bills, and one way to accomplish this is by ensuring your system is running as efficiently as possible. Routine tune-ups will go a long way in maintaining that efficiency.

When your heating and air conditioning unit is working at its best, you can enjoy ultimate comfort in your home without breaking the budget.

One of the most significant expenses you are likely to incur with an HVAC system is replacement costs. Though your heating and air conditioning system is

designed to last for many years, at some point, it will need to be replaced. When that time comes, you’ll have a fairly large expense to handle.

While you can’t prevent the inevitable need for an HVAC replacement, you can postpone this expense for as long as possible by getting routine HVAC tuneups. Being proactive with tune-ups help identify and work out any developing problems, allowing your HVAC to run smoother for longer.

At the end of the day, your primary concern for your HVAC probably has less to do with your budget and more with your comfort. No matter the investment, you’re going to want your HVAC to function at its best and keep you comfortable at all times.

Routine HVAC tune-ups will help keep your HVAC unit running in the best possible condition, allowing it to maintain the level of comfort you prefer in your home.

If you can’t remember the last time your system was serviced, it’s time to call your HVAC professional and schedule a check-up.

Attitudes about water quality don’t match personal practices

By Chris Lane CONTRIBUTOR

Consumers in the United States today are more aware of water quality than at any previous time in history.

In March each year, World Water Day is celebrated to raise awareness of the 2.2 billion people living without access to safe water. This year world water leaders launched a new survey that focused on the question, “What does water mean to you?”

The answer is different for everyone, but one common answer indicates a growing lack of trust in tap water. The survey clearly shows that North American consumers care about the quality of tap water and undoubtedly are interested in promoting sustainability. The study also shows that more work must be done to help consumers gain a deeper understanding about how to ensure their water is clean and safe, and how they can do more to protect the environment.

The survey examined respondents’ atti-

tudes and perspectives on water as related to health, environmental impact, and other areas. While many said they were taking steps to reduce their carbon footprint, their actions suggest they still do not realize the impact of some of their practices.

Despite their interest in sustainability, for example, 67% of people in North America drink water from single-use plastic bottles away from home – and 57% do so at home.

Interestingly, 72% of people around the world believe bottled water is safer than tap water. Perhaps because of this belief, more than 50 billion plastic bottles are purchased every year in the U.S. This high usage may relate to a lack of understanding about the waste these practices generate: Nearly half of those surveyed in North America believe plastic bottles are not bad for the environment because they can be recycled. In fact, just 29% of plastic bottles are recycled in the U.S. each year.

The goal of water treatment professionals is to help drive a better understanding of the

key role water plays in our lives and ensure access to clean, safe water at home, at work, and on the go for all.

Local PSD annual tap water quality test results are public record and posted on each PSD’s website. We recommend reading this report, as well as researching your tap water supply on EWG’s National Tap Water Database at ewg.org/tapwater.

Regardless of your tap water source, we recommend having it tested. And when choosing a filter for your home, make sure the filter is certified to remove any contaminants, if any, that might be found in your tap water.

There are many economical treatment solutions on the market today to increase the quality and safety level of your family’s water. Pitchers, refrigerator filters, faucet mounted filters and under-sink carbon filters are excellent starting filters to remove some contaminants.

But reverse osmosis technologies with pre-filtration and thin film composite membranes are the most reliable final barrier to ensure the highest percentage of contaminant reduction and deliver great tasting, safer drinking water.

NATURE’S WAY

Getting bullish on the Waddell Mariculture Center

By Collins Doughtie CONTRIBUTOR

As I sit down to write this morning it will be interesting to see if my mind and hands will allow me to finish this column. Why you ask? Yesterday I fished in the fourth annual Run For The Bulls mahi tournament, and every part of my body hurts – even my eyeballs.

The only saving grace is that I know for a fact that I am not alone because there were 30 boats in the tournament with around four anglers per boat. I am comforted knowing 120 others are sharing my pain.

If you are thinking “How can fishing possibly make you so tired that you might nod out at the dinner table and go face first into mashed potatoes,” I’ll tell you.

The day before the tournament is spent rigging baits and relining reels as well as SUBMITTED a hundred other tasks. Then around 2:30 The crew of Tuna Hutt with their prize-winning 43-pound bull mahi.

Just so you know, I certainly don’t fit into that category – thus my near comatose state at the moment.

So why put oneself through this? Run For The Bulls is a fundraiser for the Waddell Mariculture Center in Bluffton, which I have always passionately supported. When I created the tournament, it would not have been possible without the financial support of Grant Kaple of the Hilton Head Boathouse, Bluffton icon Bud Mingledorff, and former president of Bass Pro Shops/Cabela’s Jim Hagale.

Limited to only 30 boats, the event awards the winner with $20 grand. This year the winning boat was the Tuna Hutt, owned by local Robby Maroudas. He asked that I give all the credit to his crew made up of our new generation of anglers. I agree that the young guns are certainly making a mark all across the board and hopefully will take the reins in making sure our waters stay healthy and vibrant.

Though the tally is not complete, we raised about $10,000 sorely needed dollars for the Waddell Mariculture Center.

I can’t believe I made it through this column before I passed out … … zzzzzzzz.

How to stay cool on the course when it’s too darn hot

By Jean Harris CONTRIBUTOR

What is it like to play golf in the Lowcountry in the summer months? Typically the temperatures are in the 90s and the heat indexes can be as high as 100.

I have taught golf in the South for more than 45 years and I know that you need to take precautions when playing in the summer. I suggest playing before 10 a.m. or after 5 p.m. You can still enjoy the game of golf but need to be aware of the following before you go out to play or practice.

First know how to dress: • Wear loose fitting clothes and light colors. “Moisture wicking” cotton is a great fabric.

• Skorts for women rather than shorts are popular in hot weather.

• Wear shoes that are made of mesh uppers and stay away from leather.

• Wear lightweight gloves that are mesh instead of leather. Have at least two gloves

ping in your eyes.

• Sunglasses protect your eyes and help you see in bright sunlight.

• Sunscreen. Apply before you walk onto the course, and re-apply after nine holes.

• Cell phone, in case of emergency • A towel for your neck area. The Staying cool on the course is important when the weather is warmer.

• You need half of your body weight in ounces per day, whether playing golf or not.

A 150-pound person needs 75 ounces of water per day and 25% of that needs to be consumed in the morning before you play.

That is almost 20 ounces of water in the morning.

If golfing that day, you need to consume 40% to 50% more water while you play.

Again, a 150-pound person would need 38 ounces more during the round. You need to drink some water at least every other hole.

It is important that the water needs to be pure water and not drinks such as lemonade, tea, juices and sport drinks. Many sport drinks can actually dehydrate the body because of all the sugars in the drink.

And by all means stay away from caffeine and alcohol when out in this heat. Save the fun drinks for after your round.

JUN 22 – AUG 22 The Magically Musical Story of a Mother, a Daughter, and Three Possible Dads!

The John Bracket Trio will perform one of the free concerts in the Jazz on the Patio series at Hilton Head Symphony Orchestra’s SoundWaves, 7 Lagoon Road on Hilton Head Island.

The Hilton Head Symphony Orchestra and Coligny Plaza have joined their creatives forces to launch a free outdoor series of weekly jazz concerts, to held Tuesdays at 8 p.m.

The HHSO’s SoundWaves patio, at 7 Lagoon Road on Hilton Head Island, will serve as the stage, and Lagoon Road will be closed from Pope Avenue to the Piggly Wiggly parking lot entrance to create a safe environment for tourists, visitors and patrons who can bring a chair and enjoy some great music.

“Lee Lucier, COO of The Richardson Group, and I have been working on this idea for a long time,” said Alan Jordan, president and CEO of HHSO. “Our outdoor Holiday Pops concerts were a great success last November, and it got us thinking about a series that would create a ‘downtown’ feeling here at Coligny.”

The free concerts will be held at 8 p.m. each Tuesday through Aug. 17.

The outdoor venue offers plenty of space for social distancing.

The “Jazz On The Patio series kicked off June 1 with the Fabulous Equinox Orchestra, an 11-piece Southern style

big band based in Savannah. The full six-concert series line-up includes: June 15: Modern Daze Ensemble (Greg Whitaker) June 29: Charlton Singleton Quartet (of Ranky Tanky) July 20: Martin Lesch Band Aug. 3: John Bracket Trio Aug. 17: Eric Jones Trio Audience members can bring chairs, grab an ice cream, candy, fudge, or a cold beverage and enjoy the music in the open-air acoustic chamber formed by the buildings on either side of Lagoon Road.

Lagoon Road will be closed from Pope Avenue to the Piggly Wiggly parking lot entrance from 6 to 10 p.m. on all concert evenings. Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office Deputies will be on duty to guide cars to their desired destinations.

“We are so grateful to Coligny Plaza for teaming up with us and serving as our exclusive series sponsors,” Jordan said. “Their support makes it possible for us to offer these concerts free of charge.”

For more information, contact Jordan at 843-842-2055 or ajordan@hhso.org.

Writer Catherine Johnson’s sunny, funny tale unfolds on a Greek Island paradise. On the verge of her wedding, a daughter’s quest to discover her father’s identity brings three very different men from her mother’s past back to the island they had last visited twenty years ago.

7TH ANNUAL JUNETEENTH CELEBRATION IN HISTORIC FREEDOM PARK

From 1988 through 2019, All Saints Episcopal Church has held a spring Garden Tour, showcasing spectacular gardens in our area. The proceeds have been donated to local charitable organizations – “Through the Beauty of A Garden, A Gift to the Community.”

The 2020 tour was canceled due to the pandemic, and because of continuing uncertainties, the 2021 tour was canceled as well.

Last year, the organization was able to give $1,870 to each of the six selected charities, due to the generosity of many sponsors and donations from the public. This year, organizers are hoping to raise additional funds to assist these charities during a difficult time.

The group created a collection of note cards, featuring artwork from eight of the past garden tour posters. The inside of the assorted cards is blank, so they may be used for almost any occasion. The artist com-

petition to determine the artwork on our posters is always a highlight of the event.

The packets of eight different cards are offered for a donation of $20 (or more) and will be available at the following locations: All Saints Episcopal Church office, the Greenery, Inc. , Green Thumb Home and Garden (both locations), Bruno Landscape and Nursery, Birdie James, Burkes Main Street Pharmacy, Wild Birds, Pyramids (both locations), Okatie Episcopal Church and on line at AllSaintsGardenTour.com.

Gregor goes ‘Out of My Head’ with artistic expression “Out of My Head,” a showcase of oils by John Gregor, will be on display through June 26 at Art League Gallery on Hilton Head Island.

Gregor, a transplant from the Pacific Northwest with a background in engineering, draws attention to everyday scenes and ordinary objects using bold edges and saturated colors. While his subjects range from landscapes and waterscapes to still lifes and animals, his goal remains the same: to highlight beauty and provoke thought.
