Early last week, homeowners across
Sullivans Island were a little
perplexed when an anonymous letter
appeared in the mailboxes of residents
island-wide. The questionnaire, sent out on
behalf of a new Sight Council, contained
a series of questions and rankings on
issues ranging from the leadership of Town
Council to golf cart laws, to development of
Sullivans Island Elementary School. The
letter stated that the goal of the survey is to,
gain a better understanding of Sullivans
Island valuesgain a better understanding
of how citizens view Town government and
its managementto gauge the sentiment
and attitude toward change.
Perhaps what raised the most eyebrows
upon receiving the mail is the mysterious
identication number found in the upper
right hand corner of each individual letter.
Residents across the island each received adifferent number, with no explanation of the
numbers signicance in the letter, causing
concern that questionnaire responses might
not be anonymous.
In order to gain a better understanding
of the purpose of this new group, the Island
Eye Newsreached out to the Sight Council
via email. The following questions were sent
to the group:
1. What is the "Sight Council," and who
are the members?
2. Is this associated with the Town in
any manner?
3. Will the results of the Citizen Survey
be made public?
4. What is the purpose for gathering theresponses?

Everyone within a 50-mile radius of
our island home has heard of the
Sullivans Island Fire and Rescue
Oyster Roast. Hungry locals mingle with
expectant out-of-towners all gearing up
to enjoy a famous island tradition.
The Fire and Rescue Oyster Roast
began 23 years ago as a means of raising
money for the department. Each year, it
seems to be getting bigger and bigger.This latest roast garnered an estimated
3,000 attendees.

The ling period for candidates hoping to represent the rst
congressional district of South Carolina ended on January28. Three Democrats and 16 Republicans are seeking the seat
formerly occupied by Tim Scott. The special primary election will beheld March 19 with the general election date set for May 7. Threerepublican hopefuls and locals to the Charleston area, Peter McCoy,Keith Blandford, and Mark Sanford, provided an exclusive rsthandinterview with the Island Eye News. Below are their responses,verbatim.
Peter Mccoy
1) If elected, what will be your rst order of business?
When elected, I will stop the runaway spending, taxes, andregulations that are keeping our neighbors from getting jobs. I willght for a Balanced Budget Amendment so Washington will nallylive like our working families and small businesses do. I will protectthe promises made to our seniors and veterans. And I will supportour troops.2) What are some of the challenges you feel are facing your
district?
Our District and country are in a mess created by career politicians:Obamacare; job-killing, higher taxes; out-of-control, anti-businessregulations; liberal social policies; and debt as far as the eye can see.
These career politicians have straddled the next generation with $16trillion of debt and bleak nancial futures.3) What are some of the main differences between you and
your opponents?
I'm a father who wants to protect and preserve the American Dreamfor my daughter and all of our children. I'm a Christian who knowsit is morally reprehensible for career politicians to burden the nextgeneration with $16 trillion of debt. I'm a crime ghter who put violentcriminals behind bars and passed legislation to make South Carolinaa better place to raise our families. And I'm a fresh-faced conservativewho wants to return government to the people.4) What are some ways you see of facilitating economic growth
in your district?
I am the only candidate to have received a 100% pro economic-growth score from the Chamber of Commerce last year. As a smallbusiness owner, I know jobs are created by entrepreneurs not thegovernment. When elevated, I will assist our job creators by practicingfree market principles, repealing Obamacare, removing burdensomeregulations, and lowering taxes. I will remain an unabashed supporterof our ports and do all I can to aide our transportation and tourismindustries.5) Why have you decided to run?
Over the last year, our family has overcome medical challenges forour daughter. As we have, I realize that our daughter may face anAmerica where our children will never have the opportunity to achievethe American Dream. Our country is in a mess created by careerpoliticians like my opponents. We wont put our country back on apath to prosperity if we stay with the same career-minded politicianswho put titles above principles. I will be a fresh face in Congresswho, like Tim Scott, will stand out in the crowd and put the nextgeneration above the next election.
Keith Blandford
1) If elected, what will be your rst order of business?
The rst order of business is to aggressively begin to develop or
enhance existing legislation associated with the USAs currency. Thereis existing legislation proposing an extensive audit of the FederalReserve that must be supported and pushed through the Senate.
This can only be done by actively seeking constituent participationthrough appearances, phone calls, etc. The most effective methodfor controlling the size and scope of the constitution lies in ArticleOne, Section Eight/Ten of the Constitution which does not allow fora Federal Reserve Note and names gold and silver coin a tender inpayments of debts. If we are able to turn off the government's printingpress, then we will drastically reduce the size of government. It willbe our focus to undo legal tender laws and reintroduce competingcurrencies. We will focus on this solution because it is the only onethat will work.2) What are some of the challenges you feel are facing your
district?
Our district faces the same thing all districts face. The Federal
Government is bankrupt and is printing money to pay its bills. Thedollar is devalued and is only being maintained by articial andtemporary means. Generation X will not repay China, will not repaythe Federal Reserve, and will either voluntarily or involuntarilydrastically reduce our military footprint. By printing money tomaintain their lifestyles, the current government has indebted ourchildren, grandchildren and great grandchildren. It will be ourchallenge to help ease the transition from the disaster we have nowto the government of the next generation.3) What are some of the main differences between you and
your opponents?
I am an ardent Ron Paul supporter and completely believe inhis policy and his Restore America Now plan. I have met with himpersonally, and believe that he has been the only statesman to

On February 5, the Cityof Isle of Palms held aspecial Council meeting
to discuss the second readingof Ordinance 2013 2, whichauthorizes the City to enterinto a lease agreement with thesuccessful bidder of the Citys twomunicipal parking lots, found onFront Beach.
Administrator Tucker notedthat the City staff did an extensivereview of the proposals andcompared them directly with theRequest for Proposals in order todetermine who should be awardedthe bid. Im pleased that we havehad three very competitive andvery competent bidders, MayorCronin said. We are going to do
well under any circumstance.Councilman Bettelli made
a motion that the request beawarded to the highest bidder,William Schupp. Im very pleasedthat we had two bids coming fromfolks on the island, Bettelli said.
The rest of the Council wasntwithout comment; CouncilmanLoftus felt that the Council wasntcomparing apples to appleswhen looking at the proposals.The second highest bidderreally offered some interestingvalue, including upgrades, hesaid. He felt that their plansregarding landscaping, signage,and technological advertisementswould benet the City. If you lookat the whole picture, Jeff Evans
[of IOP Beach Club] bid is a bettervalue for the Isle of Palms.
Councilmember Buckhannonexpressed some serious concerns
as well, believing that thespirit and intent of the Citysprocurement code had beencircumvented. Im not going tosupport this. I dont think itsright. It borders on unethical,and I think it should have beenawarded at our last meeting, hesaid.
Despite dissent, the motionpassed with a 5 3 vote.Buckhannon, Loftus, and
Thomas opposed. CouncilwomanBergwerf was not in attendance.

5. Our Citizen Survey included a number in the
upper right hand corner of the front page.
What does this number signify?
The Council responded anonymously with the
following answer: "The Sight Council is a diverse
group of Sullivan's Island voters and citizens who
are interested in advancing a more harmonious
and productive discourse on our island about the
various issues that concern us all.
At this time we prefer to remain anonymous as
we attempt to gather data from the greater resident
population and we hope to share results at some
point in the future. Our survey was sent to all voters
and not to one group or another and its contentcovers a wide array of issues. Our goal in sending it
anonymously was to stimulate broad response and
to try to avoid divisiveness associated with any past
issues or discussion.
This group is not associated with the Town
nor with any candidate for ofce. We are merely
interested in stimulating more productive dialogue
about the many issues that face our community
and its future as we deal with the very real growth
in our area.
The number on the survey is simply so we can
maintain the integrity of the survey results with one
response allowed per voter. It is not our intention to
use the number in any other manner."
For now, this mysterious group will remain
unknown, but the Island Eyewill keep our readers
up to date as new information comes forward.

The Sullivan's Island Elementary School
Coastal Curators are leading a school-wide
community service project for the month of
February by collecting plastic grocery bags to be
recycled. In the rst eight days of February they
collected 17,029 bags! The Coastal Curators are
collecting the bags as part of an attempt to educateour students, parents, and the community as to
how harmful these plastic bags can be to our South
Carolina State reptile, the Loggerhead Sea Turtle.
When plastic bags nd their way into our local
waters, they resemble jellies, the Loggerhead's
favorite food! Turtles ingest them and then die. A
high percentage of turtle necropsies show evidence
of plastic bag ingestion. Our collection continues
through the month of February and we can't wait
to see what the nal collection numbers will be!
The winning classroom receives a 'turtle trip' out
with Barrier Island EcoTours to learn even more
about these precious creatures.
The Coastal Curators will also be selling cloth
bags, beginning in March, with a logo designed by
one of our SIES students. These bags can be foundat SIES and students will be selling them at a few
select locations on the islands. For more information,

correctly identify what is happening in our country. I have run forthis same seat since 2009, and I am intimately acquainted with theestablishment's speeches and their "business as usual." I have runas a Libertarian and, unlike mainstream Republicans, I actuallybelieve in small government. I will bring something that no one elsewill: the youth, the blue republicans, the Ron Paulers and the BigL Libertarians. I am only going to serve for two terms (including theabbreviated one) and I will stand on principle and decline the lavishCongressional healthcare and retirement benets.
4) What are some ways you see of facilitating economic growthin your district?
By focusing on currency laws, we can force the government out ofthe private sector. By having a real solution for reducing the size andscope of government, we can free up the free market to do what itdoes best: produce wealth and prosperity. The government does notproduce anything. Anything that it has it has taken from someoneelse. By keeping resources in the hands of the people who developthem; we will immediately see an increase in jobs, which will increasedemand for goods and services.5) Why have you decided to run?
It is my belief that the strength of our society lies in the individual.I have always said that if you want to change the world, then lookin the mirror. I have campaigned against hopeless odds, spent timeand personal money simply to impress upon the people I come incontact with the importance of believing in themselves. No one is
going to solve your problems for you, the solution does not lie withgovernment or anything outside of ourselves, it resides within. Politicsand politicians are downstream of society, and I believe that we mustchange the hearts and minds of society, or we will continue to get thesame dismal leadership from Congress. I want to communicate theidea that government is only as important as you make it, and that iseasier to live in faith of yourself instead of living in fear of somethingthat you cannot control. Personally, I believe that the short form ofthe Constitution is get a life and mind your own business. I am
perfectly capable of managing my own affairs and I am will ing to ghtto maintain the right to do so.
Mark Sanford
1) If elected, what will be your rst order of business?
Im going to keep doing as I have always done, watching out for thetaxpayers. Our country is really at a tipping point with regard to debtand spending, in that our nations debt has grown to the size of our
yearly economy. Its unsustainable no matter how you look at it, andunconscionable to me that we would pass that debt down to the nextgeneration. I do have a track record on that front, having eliminated
nearly $1 billion in debt and decits as governor.2) What are some of the challenges you feel are facing your
district?
Frankly, I believe debt and spending are the biggest challengesfacing every American, no matter where they live. But the economycontinues to be a challenge, and my record is one of working to create
jobs. We focused on bettering soil conditions so business could thrive.Improving road infrastructure is vital at the same time, and in allthis we have to strike a balance between growth, and preservingwhat makes this region special. That approach is one reason that asGovernor, our Administration preserved more land than any othergovernorship which I thought important to maintaining quality oflife.3) What are some of the main differences between you and
your opponents?
The biggest difference is the record. I would look at how we moved
the ball down the eld on a host of fronts in the governorship and inCongress. Whether it was attempting to change a system in Columbiathat many of my opponents were comfortable with, or attracting $24billion in investment to our state, or producing the rst ExecutiveBudgets in state history, I have a record that demonstrates a remarkablecommitment to the taxpayer. The National Taxpayers Union rated methe most nancially conservative member of Congress, or the CATOinstitute rated me the same as governor.4) What are some ways you see of facilitating economic growth
in your district?
Play to strengths: our tourism base, the number of retires in ourdistrict whether from the military or companies that spanned theglobe, small businesses and even the beauty of the way we look andfeel compared to so many other parts of the state. As Governor Ifocused on creating the right soil conditions for businesses to thrivewith a host of changes - like cutting marginal income tax rates for therst time. We reformed efforts within the state so that more moneywent to tourism marketing, and in part as a consequence we added3000 small businesses.5) Why have you decided to run?
If we dont get spending under control, there will be horrendousconsequences for the dollar, our savings and the American way oflife. My record in Congress and as Governor, offers a unique record ofaccomplishments with regard to holding the line on spending. Senator
Tom Davis, a long time friend summed it up best when he said, Mark,youve got to run. You have been warning this day would come for yearson spending and debt, and have backed it up with effort. you could
now make a real difference.After much thought, prayer andconversations, I decided to run.

Dershie McDevitt, whose
book, Just Holler BloodyMurder, was just releasedin a kindle edition, is a Deweesislander with some stories to tell.I enjoyed the book, and caughtup with Dershie to ask her somequestions about it. When theArts Council approached her todo a reading, Dershie graciouslyagreed to read selections of herbook to islanders on her now-famous porch on Sunday, March24.
You have set this book on anisland near Charleston namedTimicau. Is this our DeweesIsland? Why name it Timicau?
Timicau is Dewees, at leastgeographically. The critters, theocean, the tides, the salt airitsall Dewees! I named it Timicaubecause I love this place somadly that I wanted to set themystery here. But if I set it inpresent time, the development ofthe island would have hamperedmy ability to tell the story that Iwanted to tell. Timicau was theSewee Indian name for the islandand is the name of the lake in themiddle of the island.
Were you a writer beforecoming to Dewees?Yes, I aspiredto be a writer long before writing
this book. My rst novel, whichis thus far unpublished, was myMasters thesis at UNC- Asheville.Ive been in a professional writinggroup ever since, for 19 years.Actually, I realized I was a poetin the third grade when MissMcKay, the Deitys most tactfulthird grade teacher, told me mypoetry had excellent strong meterrather than telling me I had onlyhalf done my assignment toillustrate a small booklet on ve of
Wyomings most common birds.
As inDershie, dear, you dontseem to have spent much timeon your drawings or collectingthe facts, but your meter, now,that meter is very strong andwell rhymed. After that, I feltfree to take pen to paper in allmoments of emotional trial andexcoriate the fates. I wrote someof the most meaningless, overlyemotional drivel for examplewhen I was ten and my cat died,I took on God with, Where did
you take her? How did she die?Oh Tulip, Tulip, is your tailheld high? It took a lot of goodprofessors to channel my passion
into something you just mightenjoy reading now.
Can you describe your frstexperience ofvisiting Dewees?How do youthink it haschanged sincethen? There isa whole movingshort story Icould writeabout the rsttime we cameto Dewees, butsince Ive sharedthe Tulip poem, I
think I will spareyou that. Sufceit to say, I wastransported, enthralled, wild with
joy when I realized there was aspot so close to civilization whereI could return to the wild. I grewup in northern Wyoming, as freeas the little Callahan in my novel,and the chance to observe all theelements of nature at such closehand on Dewees, birds, gators,dolphins, shells, shifts in light and
weather systems seemed a giftfrom heaven. Dewees Island haschanged, but not dramatically.
The manner in which the islandhas been developed means thatmuch of the time, it seems like
just a few residents are there.Even when lots of visitors areon the island it is still possibleto escape all human presencebecause so much of it remains(and will remain) undeveloped.A golf cart trip to the northerntip of the island, a sundown
cruise around one of the dockson the west side of the islanditis just you and nature at peacetogether.
Did you do any research whilewriting this book?Learn anythingsurprising? Oh yes, I am alwaysdoing research because CallahanBanks, my protagonist, knowsway more about the facts thenatural world than I do, so I haveto keep ahead of her discoveringtidbits like why seagulls cry orspiders dont get stuck in theirwebs. I read and clip constantly.
In the novel, there issome tension between those
people who had always thoughtof the island as theirs, and thosewho built their homes as part ofthe newer neighborhood beingestablished Is this rooted in fact?Do you think some of thosetensions are still being playedout today? Our developers saidfor us to consider it a privateisland to call our own. And a lotof us feel that way so rules andtime schedules and limitationsfeel like we are losing some ofthat glorious freedom we came
to the island to experience. Justlike Callahan, in the novel, we allhave to keep open and creativeminds to gure out how to bestlive here and yet not infringe onthe rights of our neighbors whiledoing it.
There are a lot of Deweesnames in the book. How did youcome up with them?Naming wasgreat fun. I asked the Pasquinisif I could borrow their namebecause it was perfect for Irene,though she is hardly their statureand nothing like them. Ive

By hannah DoCkery
Isle of Palms native JimmyCarroll III has traded sand andsun and the serenity of island
life for the adventure of a lifetime,
in an effort to give back to thoseless fortunate.The 22-year-old College of
Charleston graduate departed forGuatemala last week to beganhis two-year journey with thePeace Corps. Its such a greatopportunity to go abroad andhelp others, explains Carroll. Ithink it will be a good bridge forme, between college and startinga career.
Carroll attended Wando High
School before making the trip overthe Cooper River Bridge to attendCofC. Double majoring in politicalscience and economics, the son of
the Isle of Palms City Councilmanof the same name decided to takea chance with the Peace Corps.After spending time in CostaRica, Nicaragua, and a semesterabroad in the Netherlands,Carroll wasnt ready to stoptraveling even though collegewas over; right after graduationin May 2012, he began the PeaceCorps application process.
The process to join the Corpsis no walk in the park. It took all
summer, Carroll says. Its a lotof work, and also a lot of waiting.
The initial phase begins with atraditional application, much like
what is included when applying forcollege. The interested candidatemust complete essays, submitreferences, include employmenthistory and a resume, alongwith other expected items likeeducation, practical skills, andcollege transcripts. After theapplication is submitted, thecandidate will be scheduled for aninterview. If both the applicationand interview process are wellreceived, the hopeful candidatewill be nominated to join thePeace Corps. The process isntover just yet; those waiting stillhave to complete background,
nancial, and medical checksbefore receiving a formal invitationof acceptance in writing.
After ve months of writingand waiting, Carroll received hisinvitation and country assignmentin October. Its nally becomingreal to me, he says.
While serving in Guatemala,Carroll will be a Municipal SchoolsHealth Coordinator, as a partof an overall healthy schoolsinitiative. He will be responsiblefor ensuring that studentsengage in healthy procedures
everything from washing theirhands often to making sureschools have access to freshwater to sex education. As a partof a secondary project, Carrollwill be teaching English classes
to his assigned Guatemalancommunity.
Carroll says that his parentshave been extremely supportive ofhis desire to join the Peace Corpsand serve abroad. They haveboth been really encouraging, hesays. I think theyre excited forme.
For a total of 27 months, Carrollwill be stepping out of his comfortzone and using his skills to makeour world a little bit brighter.
Jimmy Carroll III left for the Peace Corps
on February 12.
always loved the shortened formof Wharton, so Whart Applegate,the triplets father, got part of ourformer island residents name.
Juby T. Roys rst name camefrom an obit in the Ashevillepaper, and the deceased evenwas wearing that weathered felthat he wears in the novel. Letssee, Francie had to have a formalname with a bit of class (Francis),but get shortened to something abit trashy. Varina needed dignity.I found her in a history book, and
Wallace was a dear heart I knewlong ago. I wanted the tripletssurname to appear to have a bitof a Charleston pedigree, butAnnie had to be approachableand spontaneous so it took mea while to sort out the right rstname for her. And then of courseCallahan and Pepper. She wasthe hardest to name because thename needed to be distinctive,non-traditional and shorten-ableto an affectionate nicknamePeppers late mother, Mignon, isan old southern name Ive saved,along with old buttons and funnystories, for ages. Finally that bad
guy, Reggie Banks. The Banks(from Kathryn) seemed a solidBritish name and Reginald a bitsnooty while Reggie could be arake.
There are cougars on Timicau.Do you think there are cougarson Dewees? I do, even thoughSCDNR says not. I have spent
years trying to see that big cat,but no luck so far. My daughterand son-in-law, brother-in-lawand niece (both very scienticdoctors who drew pictures of itslong tail) and the Henry Savages,and several Dewees employeeshave all described spotting the
same cat off and on over a periodof years. I think the question iswhether it is a released exoticpet or a Florida panther that hassomehow survived a shadowyexistence on wild islands likeCapers, but I want to believe thelatter theory and since I get towrite the ction, I have decreed itto be so.
We cant wait for your islandreading of Just Holler BloodyMurder, and the sequel to thisbook. Kindle copies are nowavailable for only $1.99.

landscaping
W
ith the oncoming spring
weather you will begin
to see a change in our
Charleston landscapes. Azaleasand Indian Hawthorne's will start
blooming, the grasses will begin
to green up, our native Carolina
Jasmine will have fragrant
owers in the trees, and our
owering trees will be bursting
with new color. What a great time
it is to be in Charleston! This year
we have had a cooler than normal
spring time. All of the grasses in
the Charleston area are warm
season grasses, each with their
own specic needs. One of the
rst things that we need to get
our grasses growing is warm
days and warm nights. Southerngrasses do not start growing until
the ground temperature gets to
be around 70. With the warmer
temps coming on, now is the
time to be applying fertilizer. St.
Augustine, Zoysia, and Bermuda
require a high nitrogen fertilizer
(like a 25/4/11) while Centipede
is best suited for a 15/0/15
fertilizer. We often combine a pre-
emergent in with our fertilizer tohelp control our summer weeds
(which will also be sprouting as
the warmer temps are here). In
addition, at the time of writing
this article, it has been a very dry
month so far. Therefore, we plan
to be increasing our water supply
for our lawn and shrubs. The
temperatures do not dictate daily
watering yet, so between 1-3 days
per week should be sufcient,
depending on your soil type. With
heavy clay soils requiring less
water and sandier soils requiring
more.
The second spring task is tokeep an eye out for turf damage.
We will see three distinct types of
surf damage this spring. The rst
one is grub which surface during
the spring and feed on the roots
of newly sprouting grass. We
applied an insecticide last month
to help control grubs and other
surface feeding insects, Such
as over wintering mole crickets.
If you think you may have grubdamage dig up a 12"x12" area
on the boarder of the affected
area and look for white c- shaped
worms in the top couple of inches
of the soil. Usually if you nd one
or two there are more within the
yard and a treatment should be
applied. The second type of turf
damage that may be present would
be brown patch and is sometimes
left over from the previous year.
We wrote about brown patch in
the fall and you may access that
article on our website at www.
pleasantlandscapes.com, but the
main concept with brown patchis to look for ever growing circles
with a distinct brown ring in over
fertilized and overwatered lawn
areas.
When it comes to fertilizer
more is not always better. The
third type of turf damage that will
be present in the spring is dead
patch. These are areas of dead
lawn that did not come back from
the previous year. The causes for
this can be many, but some are
brown patch from last fall (thatwas not caught), fertilizing too
early with an early freeze- killing
back tender new growth, and also
high trafc areas or too much
shade. As you will see, growing
nice lawns is more of an art than a
science. As always, if you have any
questions about your turf feel free
to email us pictures or questions
as we always enjoy offering free
advice to help our neighbors have
quality lawns and shrubs. Spring
should be a time to enjoy our
ever blooming surroundings. If
you have not been to some of the
local plantations it's a great timeto go and see the blooms; I would
highly recommend it. Happy
gardening.

A
sign in the front yard says it all,
Dont ask. Wont sell. On St.
Simons Island even a modestold house like this one is likely to have
suitors. Youve got to envy those who
live here. This eighteen mile long island,
roughly the size of Manhattan, has 21,000
residents and 4,000 hotel rooms. Unlike
its sister Golden Isles destinations, St.
Simons, Georgia is all about its residents.
The waterfront could be full of high rise
hotels but instead a long walkway snakes
by a large playground full of children, a
pier with shermen unfurling cast nets,
picnic tables and a town center that boasts
a art center, grills, historic lighthouse,
wedding room, pool and expansive grassy
lawns. Nearby is a busy skateboard park
and recreation center. Everywhere thereare miles and miles of trees. Building
heights are limited to four stories. Its
clear that the residents and Town leaders
have taken great care of the island with
dedication and vision. Now its a gem with
a tremendously strong pride of place.
There is no stronger advocate for the
island than Captain Cap Fendig. He
proudly describes St. Simons as an
island that takes care of itself. As the
self-appointed ambassador and life long
resident, he operates several land andsea businesses. Everything from dolphin
sightings to funerals at sea that help
tourists experience the culture and nature
of the area. But his passion for place
transcends his business motivations.
He proudly mentions that the Brooklyn
Bridge was built from live oak timber from
the island and tells a moving story of the
slave and favorite son Neptune for whom
the park is named. Because St. Simons
is the most westerly location on the
East Coast, there are fewer hurricanes
and extreme tides. One third of the East
Coasts marshes, lled with abundant sea
life, surround this area.
The islands pride of place, andespecially its history, is evident at its only
ocean front hotel. The King and Prince
offers 14 styles of rooms, suites, cottages
and villas including elegant homes that
appeal to family vacationers. A member
of Historic Hotels of America, it originally
opened in 1935 as a private dance club

financial
Investors give money to companies in return for the promiseor expectation that theyll receive more money back at a laterdate. Investors tend to closely monitor the daily changes in the
investments price and conditions, which may affect its future price.Lenders give money to borrowers in return for an agreed income level
and their assessment of the chances of default. They also monitorthe ongoing changes in the chance of default. Conservatively-mindedinvestors might be more comfortable thinking like a Lender and notlike an investor. This should allow a longer-term view of investingwhere periodic volatility is much less of a worry.An Analogy
1. One of your neighbors asks you to loan him $100,000 toexpand his business in return for a 10% share in the business.According to his projections, your share will be worth $200,000in seven years. He cannot pay you any interest in the meantimebecause hes investing everything in business growth and hecannot be rm on when you can have the full capital back.
2. At the same time, another neighbor asks you to loan her$100,000 to expand her business. She will give you $6,000per year plus an agreement to give the $100,000 loan principalback after 5 years.
Although scenario 1 looks like a Stock investment and scenario 2looks like a Bond investment, we would ask you to think about the
rst as a pure investment and the second as a loan. Which of the twodeals would you take and why?Pure Investments
A Pure Investment usually requires a commitment of money inreturn for a share in something that you expect to rise in value. Priorto commitment, an investor must assess all the factors, which maypositively or negatively affect this potential for growth.
As an investors only measure of success is the current price,their behavior tends to focus on the daily price movement of theirinvestments and all the factors, which could move its price in thefuture. If the current price of the investment is higher than thepurchase price, and/or the outlook for the investment is rosy, aninvestor feels good about their decision. If the current price is lessthan the purchase price, and/or the outlook for the investmentdeteriorates, an investor feels bad about their decision.
This sentimental volatility often leads to rollercoaster emotions forconservative investors. Although investments may have the potentialfor very high returns, watching the day-to-day volatility of prices,
together with economic and political leading indicators, can beemotionally draining.Loans
A loan usually requires a commitment of money in return forregular income payments. Prior to making the loan, a lender mustassess the ability of the borrower to pay the income plus the factors,which may cause default on the income payments.
To be successful, a loan must not default. A lender can, to somedegree, ignore price uctuations, especially if they are caused bytemporary or market sentiment factors. The focus of the lendershould remain on the companys ability to pay the income.
Although loans typically have a lower potential for high returnsthan an investment, they should not require the lender to watch dailyprice volatility and economical and political leading indicators, unless
they threaten the nancial survival of the borrower.Dividend Paying Stocks
Lets add another hypothetical analogy to the two we started with:Say another neighbor wishes to borrow $100,000 in return for a
5% share of their company plus a payment of $3,000 per year. They
have projections showing the 5% share should be worth $150,000 inseven years. Is this an Investment or a Loan?This example illustrates how we think about many dividend paying
stocks and stock-like securities. They are clearly investments butyou can view them as loans, which will hopefully provide an additionalinvestment bonus during the term of the loan.
Think of some real companies: Johnson & Johnson, AT&T,McDonalds, Wal-mart, and so on. They provide an attractive incomein the 2% - 5% range. They grow their businesses and their dividendsover the years. Our research suggests they will still be paying incomefor the next ve years or more.
Their potential for additional bonuses during the term of the loanincludes: periodic increases in the income being paid (historical orhigh probability of dividend payout increases) and price appreciationover the ve years of owning the company not the short-term upsand downs.Why loan money for free?
In analogy 1, the investor is effectively loaning money for free. You
might get a handsome repayment; on the other hand you could getnothing back. For more conservative investors those clients whowish to be emotionally and nancially independent of stock marketswings you might want to structure your portfolio with a similarmindset to a lender.

February seems to be the month of birthdays for me. Whether
its my sisters, best friends, or future brother-in-lawsbirthday its safe to say you can nd me in the kitchen this
month. I cant let a birthday pass by without making the dessert.It started with Julia Childs classic almond chocolate cake, thenamazing delicate clairs, and I cant forgot the brownies. Now thosechocolate, gooey, caramel, and salty browniesthose are hard toforget. You might have just had some good dessert for the Hallmarkholiday that this month is known for, but I promise they werentlike these.
Brownies can be good from a box but making anything homemadeis better. These have about ve ingredients in them so its barely
any more burden. When I went to make these I had only a half ofcup of sugar when I needed a cup (there is nothing more annoyingthan baking and realizing you are short on ingredients) so I puthalf a cup of brown sugar. I think that added richness to the batterthat went well with the melted caramel. The salt is basically that
same thing as saying sugar on top, but with salt. Salt, caramel andchocolatea deadly combination.
Want a certain recipe? Make a suggestion, email lowcountrybites@
gmail.com.
Salted Caramel Brownies from Smitten Kitchen
3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, roughly chopped1 stick unsalted butter, plus extra for pan1 cup granulated sugar (or cup granulated sugar and cup brown sugar)
2 large eggs1 teaspoon vanilla extractHeaped 1/4 teaspoon aky sea salt or 1/8 teaspoon table salt
2/3 cup all-purpose our
Caramel cubes- cut in half
Preheat the oven to 350F. Line an 88-inch square baking panwith parchment, extending it up two sides. Butter the parchment orspray it with a nonstick cooking spray.
In a medium heatproof bowl over gently simmering water, meltchocolate and butter together until only a couple unmelted bitsremain. Off the heat, stir until smooth and fully melted. Whiskin sugar, then eggs, one at a time, then vanilla and salt. Stir inour with a spoon or exible spatula. Gently fold all but a small
amount of caramel bits into batter. Scrape batter into prepared pan,spreading until mostly even. Scatter remaining caramel bits on top.Bake in heated oven for 30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted intothe center comes out clean.

on the ocean and housed soldiers
during World War II as U-boats
prowled the Georgia coast.
Beyond its fabulous location,
it is renowned for its four pools
and the world-class golf course
as well as the ornate stained
glass windows that depict
island history. Bud St. Pierre
became the Director of Sales andMarketing at the hotel ten years
ago. We were looking for a little
community. Just driving over the
bridge, we knew. The King and
Prince is very nice, but its about
the destination. This island is
very special. The hotel cuisine
capitalizes on the local products
such as Lane Southern Orchard
peaches and pecans, Bland
Vidalia Onions, Savannah Bee
Company honey products, Still
Pond Wines and Sugar Marsh
Cottage Chocolates but they are
famous for their house made
lemoncello and seafood recipes
such as shrimp and grits and
the Low Country boil which they
enjoy cooking ocean-side.
Captain Fentig calls St. Simons
an eat-stroll-eat-stop-stroll
kinda place. At Halyards upscale
restaurant chef Glen Miskowski
says, The frst thing people want
to do on St. Simons is eat seafood.
Here, the clams are still alive,
the shrimp are lightly poached
and the local catch comes right
in the back door daily. Manager
Matt Gage says, Ive never
worked anywhere where the fsh
is fresher than this.At the more
casual Palmers Caf, the food is
between rough and refned andthe breakfast menu is creative:
poached eggs with collard greens
and ham or Buddys banana
pudding pancakes with crushed
vanilla wafers. Up the street
in a ramshackle building is an
island mainstay, Beachcomber
Barbeque. The very authentic
Brunswick stew is their pride and
joy but huge barbeque platters
served to diners along the picnic
tables were also greeted with
rave reviews. A highlight of my
visit was an exciting ecotour
on the Lady Jane shrimp boat
with Captain Larry Credle and
crew. Lifelong shrimpers, they
delighted in showing these
landlubbers the abundance of
sea life pulled up in their shrimp
nets as we motored along the
waterway. We took great photos
of the least squeamish among
us holding hammerhead sharks,
horseshoe crabs and squid while
Clifford, our educator, culled out
the still-squirming shrimp and
boiled them up in the galley. Talk
about fresh!
Its easy to see why St. Simons
Island has a content community
of residents who passionately
defend their way of life and shareit with the few thousand visitors
each year. As Captain Fentig says,
God has a few favorite places to
hang out and one of them is St.
Simons.

For anyone who has beenin a hospital setting, it isno secret that the nursing
staff usually sets the tone ofthe patient care and overallpatient experience. In veterinarymedicine, this truth also holdstrue. The veterinary technicianis the analog of the nurse andtechnologist in the medicalprofession. The eld of veterinarytechnology is a wonderfulprofession that many pet ownersare unaware of, and quitefrankly, as intelligent individualsand consumers, need to be.
Interestingly, licensingrequirements of veterinarytechnicians vary from stateto state. Many states requireveterinary technicians to haveformal education (2 or 4 yeardegree) with practical training,and then pass state and/ornational examinations, similarto those of any other healthcare profession. South Carolinadoes not require licensure ofveterinary technicians, althoughmost hospitals do employ someor all licensed technicians.
In fact, we have a wonderfulprogram for veterinarytechnology here in Charlestonat Trident Technical College.When we opened CVRC, weestablished a formal relationshipwith the college, and are activelyinvolved in creating educationalopportunities. Our doctors andtechnicians mentor and instructgroups of students rotatingthrough our hospital as part oftheir educational and trainingexperience in the veterinarytechnology program.
The level of expertise andexperience within veterinarytechnology varies, but thepossibilities are endless. Firstand foremost, their primaryresponsibility is patient care.Like in the human eld, ourtechnicians provide medicaltreatments following the doctorstreatment orders, and performall forms of diagnostic testing,including running in houselaboratory analyzers. Some of ourtechnicians focus on radiology,and are experts in taking x-rays,and running our MRI and CT
scans. Many technicians go on tospecialize in various disciplinessuch as internal medicine,anesthesiology, surgicalassisting, emergency and criticalcare, and more. There is anadvanced certication knownas a VTS (Veterinary TechnicianSpecialist) that is rigorous toobtain. One of our technicians,
Jennifer Severence became therst technician in South Carolinato be awarded that prestigiouscertication. It took three yearsof hard work, case presentations,and passing a certicationexamination. We are extremelyproud of her accomplishments.
I truly believe that you cannotbe a great doctor nor have anexcellent hospital without havinggreat veterinary technicians by
your side. I am often asked formy opinion about the qualityof various practices, as peopleunderstandably want the best fortheir furry family members. A fairquestion for pet owners to ask asthey evaluate the quality of thepractice they are entrusting theirpet care to, is the level of expertiseof the veterinary technical staff.
In all fairness, licensure is justone measure of credential, butcertainly does not guaranteeexcellence. Equally important aretraining, ability, and dedication.
Most veterinary techniciansare incredibly dedicated andhard working professionals.
These individuals are often theclosest to the patients and feelthe emotional ups and downsthat occur on a daily basis. Asin all medicine, there are somereally good days emotionally,and there are some really harddays emotionally. We are allbetter off because of these nobleprofessionals. Remember nexttime youre in your veterinariansofce to thank the veterinarytechnicians for what they doeveryday.

The oysters served come from the Gulf Coast, around theTexas area, and make their way over the East Coast on a tractor-
trailer. This year, nearly 4,800 pounds of oysters made the tripto Sullivans Island and were consumed by very happy guests.
A roast of such scale wouldnt be possible without the hardwork of dedicated volunteers, willing to spend an entire Saturdaysetting up and working under often stressful conditions. Nearly40 volunteers work together to put on the event of the year.
The kids get involved too students fromChrist our King, the ROTC at Wando High,Bishop England, and a handful of otherssacrice a Saturday for the community.
We start that morning around 9 a.m.getting ready for everything, explainsCaptain Skipper Weston. But we have adrill usually the Wednesday before, justto make sure everything is in place. Wedenitely stay busy.
The money raised from ticket salessupports different expenditures of theFire and Rescue Department, like newequipment, training, and supplies. Itsupplements the Town paying for thedepartment, Weston says. Final numbersare still being calculated, but this yearsroast is expected to raise between $10,000to $15,000.
Though its only been a few weeks sincethe beloved island event wrapped up,oyster-lovers across the lowcountry arealready waiting for the next one.

Love was in the air this
week, as Valentines Day
rolled around again. During
the course of your life, youve
probably sent your share ofowers and candy. But if your
valentine is also your spouse
and, in particular, your long-time
spouse you may want to go
beyond roses and chocolates this
year to give a gift that can help
lead to nancial security.
You can choose to make
nancial gifts in a number of
ways, of course, and some of
them could provide an immediate
nancial impact. But you may
want to look even further down
the road and consider what you
can do for your spouse in the
areas of insurance planning andestate considerations.
For starters, do you have
sufcient life insurance to help
provide for your spouse and any
children who may not yet be
adults? Many people rely solely on
their employers group insurance,
which is often insufcient to
adequately cover all the costs
associated with maintaining their
families lifestyles, not to mention
future costs, such as paying for
college. How much life insurance
do you need? Theres no one
right answer for everyone, so you
may wish to consult with your
nancial advisor.
Life insurance isnt the only
type of protection you need toconsider, because you dont have
to die to lose your income. In fact,
statistically speaking, you are
more likely to become disabled
during your working years than
you are to die, which is why you
need adequate disability income
insurance. Your employer may
provide disability coverage, but, as
was the case with life insurance,
it may not be sufcient. So you
may also need to consider adding
a private policy.
While its important to maintain
adequate life and disability
insurance, its still not enough toensure your spouse will be taken
care of if he or she outlives you.
You also need to ensure that your
estate plans are in order.
Toward that goal, you will need
to work with your legal advisor
to create the necessary legal
documents, such as a will, a living
trust, a durable power of attorney
or whatever other arrangements
may be appropriate for your
situation. In generating your
estate plan, you must consider
many factors: the amount of
assets you have, how
you want them divided,
when you would like
them distributed, and
so on. In any case,estate planning can be
complex, so you will
need to work with your
legal and tax advisors
before putting any
strategy into place.
Life insurance,
disability income
insurance and an
estate plan dont sound like
particularly romantic gifts. And
you cant really just give them
on Valentines Day because it will
take some time to assemble the
insurance coverage and estate
planning arrangements you need.But if you havent fully worked on
these key parts of your nancial
strategy yet, perhaps Valentines
Day will be a good time to start
because once youve got all
your protection needs and estate
planning taken care of, youre
really giving your valentine some
gifts that are designed to last a
lifetime.
Edward Jones, its employees
and fnancial advisors are not
estate planners and cannot
provide tax or legal advice. You
should consult your estate-
planning attorney or qualifed taxadvisor regarding your situation.

Computer Corner
Iwanted to give you some moresimple tips and phrases thatcan help with problems on
your computer but rst I needto add a bit to the last column. Iwrote about the "FBI" virus andhow it is sweeping the lowcountry.One very important addition hascropped up recently and it is awarning for the future as thenewest crop of this virus will turn
your camera on! That's right;the latest victims have a picturetaken by their "webcam" on theirlaptop. It is then embedded intothe bogus screen and all of the
sudden you are seeing yourselfin your t-shirt (or less) on yourscreen and you did not turn onthe camera or take the picture.If you have not done so by nowplease put a piece of tape orsomething over the camera andonly remove when you are usingit. Extremely scary and a wake-up call for the future because ifsome nasty hacker can turn on
your camera, who else is able todo it? Just be cautious and save
yourself some future grief.Okay, for some simple help
let's talk about what a "rewall"is and does. Each computerrunning Windows XP servicepack 3, Vista and 7/8 come witha software rewall as does Maccomputers. Your wireless routerhas a hardware rewall that canbe congured also and the basicfunction of both the software andthe hardware is to help keep outthe bad guys. So what does thisrewall thingy do? The internethas what are called "virtualports" and there are 65,535 ofthem and the rewall is wallwith tiny little doors that canbe opened or closed for each ofthese "ports." In reality almost
all of the doors are closed to keepout un-necessary trafc but afew are opened so you can get onthe internet, get email, etc.
Another function on yourwireless router is the "DHCP"which actually assigns yourcomputer, printer, game station,wireless Blu-ray player andanything else on the homenetwork it's on unique "address"called an IP address. This is likea home address on your streetand is a way everybody can talkto each other without sendingdata to everybody all the time. Soif some kid starts talking about
the dynamically assigned IPaddresses you can interject "Are
you talking about the DHCP?and see them get a glassy lookas they try to gure out just howmuch you know.
Lastly in that same routerare two more pieces of softwarethat allow you to cruise the 'netand those are the DNS and NAT.DNS stands for Domain NamingService (or system) and NAT isNetwork Address Translation.
The DNS takes names that youtype into your web browser (likeIE or Firefox/Chrome/Safari)and converts it into the numericalIP address for that site. An
example would be Google.comwhich one of its IP addresses is173.192.37.34, which if you typeinto your browser including thedots it will take you to Google.
The DNS does this for you soyou do not have to rememberall the number addresses. NATtranslates between your IPaddress that everybody sees onthe net (www.whatismyip.com)and the private IP addressesinside your home network. Nowthat I have completely confused
you, just remember that thesefew words could help when tryingto gure out why the gosh-darnbox will not get on the internet.
One nal note about SC TechAcademy and its non-prot work:I have just nished the rst classfor the non-prot organizationand wanted to again remindanyone that knows of deals withnon-prots interested in takingclasses on a wide range of topicsthat it is a valuable tool. Thewebsite is www.sctechacademy.org for more information andanother security class is nowavailable to sign up for. Thelast two weeks prior to the classstarting we open it up to for-prot
businesses that want to attend.All classes are one day a week, twohours long for four weeks. Theseclasses are to make you aware ofsecurity or networking/Ofce/etc. and will get you started inthe right direction. The classesare held downtown on HugerSt. at the ofces of the CoastalCommunity Foundation (www.coastalcommunityfoundation.org), parking is available.
Look forward to some goodquestions and helping you out. Ifyou need immediate assistanceyou can always call Rent A Bob at822-7794 or email at rentabob@

F
ebruary 14 was a big dayfor two rescued sea turtles
successfully rehabilitatedat the South Carolina Aquarium'sSea Turtle Rescue Program. BullsBay, a juvenile loggerhead seaturtle, and Mini Ming, a juvenilegreen sea turtle, were releasedback into the ocean. Both seaturtles were admitted to theAquarium's Sea Turtle RescueProgram last year with a variety ofillnesses. Earlier last week, staffveterinarian Dr. Shane Boylan
medically cleared both turtlesjust in time for a Coast Guardcutter to release them in the GulfStream off of North Carolina.
Bulls Bay: Bulls Bay, a57-pound juvenile loggerheadsea turtle was brought to theSouth Carolina Aquarium's Sea
Turtle Hospital in June of lastyear. S/he was caught in the netsof a South Carolina Departmentof Natural Resources (SCDNR)research vessel and was foundto be thin, lethargic, have very
poor blood work and a minorwound near the eye. Treatmentfor Bulls Bay included antibioticand vitamin injections, woundtreatment, and uid therapy.Bulls Bay is now back to optimalhealth and ready to be releasedinto the open ocean.
Mini Ming: Mini Ming is oneof the smaller patients treatedat the Aqu
