    T wenty ve years ago, Chris Warner, a dreadlockedwildchild and travelling Grateful Dead groupie,probably didn’t match your idea of a future man

    God. Now a loving husband, father of three, avider and surfer, Father Chris is “building a senseommunity and trying to love people well” here onivan’s Island as the newly installed senior rector

    Holy Cross Episcopal Church.nly 45, Warner has previously served “two (other)

    rs of duty” at Holy Cross: rst as associate rector

    m 2002 to 2007, then as campus pastor andociate rector in 2011. Between “tours,” Warnerhis family lived in St. Christopher where he

    oted himself to camp ministry and to raising hise children, Anna, 20, Caroline, 17, and Nathan,with his “awesome” wife, Catherine Warner. AfterVery Reverend John Burwell, who served therch for 27 years, retired earlier this year, Warnerformally installed as rector on June 4. Although“been in the capacity since the beginning of

    year,” this transition “just feels very settled” torner. He describes the “internal peace and joy” his

    responsibilities have brought him. “I had this

    well as how many live or dead hatchlingsare still in the nest. The time is countedfrom the morning after the night of rstemergence, so it looks as if it is a four daywait. The online nesting data at www.Seaturtle.org is standardized for all ofthe loggerhead nests in North Carolina,

    th Carolina, and Georgiais very valuable informationscientists who assess the

    ulation trends of our Atlanticturtles.he hatchlings who are stillhe nest three days after theirngs have come out are veryn the least strong, slowermature, and may even havee birth defects. We are toldif we did not release them

    n the post-hatch inventoriesperformed, that they likelyld die in the nest. So notdo we enjoy giving them a

    nce to survive in the ocean,onlookers get a chance earlyhe morning to watch as theyreleased to crawl to the waterheir own.

    We never take them out ofnest and place them in theer. SCDNR guidelines tellto let them crawl on their. There are two reasons for. First, they need to rev up

    their energy for the “swimmingfrenzy” that they instinctivelymust experience when they rstenter the ocean. This consists ofseveral days of frantic swimmingwithout eating in order to avoidpredators and reach the oatingsargassum weed in the GulfStream. After this they can beginto feed and oat with the currentinto the North Atlantic gyre, acircular current where they willstay in the pelagic environmentuntil their teenage years whenthey return to our area. Second,some scientists believe that these young turtles need to experiencecrawling on their native beachbecause they may be able torecognize the specic propertiesof the sand here which may benecessary to help them whenthey return to nest again in 25 to30 years.

    On the morning of July 23, weexcavated Nest #1 at the 18thfairway of the Links Golf Coursein Wild Dunes and found that ofthe 149 eggs laid, that 133 hadleft empty shells behind, 15 eggshad failed to develop, and six

    hatchlings were still in the nest.Some people just happened to bewalking by and were excited towitness those six turtles makingtheir way to the water andswimming away. Nest #2 at the3rd Avenue Access Path had only83 eggs in it, four had failed todevelop into turtles, but 78 hadhatched, and one lone hatchlingwas left in the nest to be released.

     The third nest of the morning

    was at Tidewater/Port O’Callalso in Wild Dunes. This wasan interesting case in whichour morning patrol had missedseeing the tracks of the mother,and we did not know that a nestwas there until people began tosee hatchling loggerheads on thebeach during the night of July19. Kind people helped guidethem to the water and the Turtle Team responded as well. Thenest was marked for inventoryon the 23rd. We found that 117eggs had been laid, 10 had failedto hatch, 15 were found dead in

    the nest, and 10 live ones werereleased. These 10 would likelyhave died in the nest in the nextfew days without the help of theinventory release.

    At this time, we have 29 nestson the Isle of Palms, includingthe three discussed above, andseven on Sullivan’s Island. Soinventories are just beginning,and we may get a few more newnests still. It is very gratifyingto see the results of our nestprotection efforts and to wishthese precious little soulsGodspeed and Good Luck!

    In 1813, the brave Cherokee leader Junaluska became a hero. He regrettedit forever. Over a hundred NativeAmericans were recruited by him to joinAndrew Jackson’s ght against the CreekIndians. Junaluska swam across the Tallapoosa River, took the Creek’s canoesand helped win the battle. Then he madethe fateful move that sealed his people’sfuture. He saved Andrew Jackson’s life.

    “If I had known that Jackson would driveus from our homes, I would have killedhim that day…” he later said. By then he’dsurvived the Trail of Tears, a 2,200 forcedmarch from North Carolina to Oklahomaand two escapes that nally ended whenhe walked all the way home. His lineagecontinues near Cherokee, N.C., a 5 hourdrive from Charleston, where manygeographic places bear his name.

    His great-great granddaughter-in-law is Faye Junaluska who perpetuatesthe Cherokee culture through her workas a weaver, teacher, elected leaderand interpreter. Her rst language wasSequoyah. Surrounded by beautifuldisplays at the Qualla Arts and CraftsMutual in Cherokee, NC she told methe story of her childhood. She and hersiblings learned the Cherokee craft ofbasket weaving from their grandmotherLydia Squirrel.

    “You have to go into the woods, nd yourtree,” she explained. “It must be a white

    oak, walnut, bloodroot or yellow root treeabout ten to twelve years old. You have totake the whole tree down, split the trunk,quarter it into sections, split it into strips,scrape it and dye it using the leaves, rootsand bark.” It’s hard, frustrating work.“Making baskets with grandma, I threwmany across the oor,” she remembered.Now her blistered, calloused hands workcompetently. The shelves of the art centercontain a multitude of authentic, museum-quality creations that provide an antidoteto the world of anonymous, disposablesouvenirs.

    At the Cherokee Museum nearby, I wasgreeted by the striking appearance of JerryWolfe. His long grey braid, cowboy hat,weathered face and beaded bolo necktieattracted me. In 2013 he was named theCherokee nation’s “Most Beloved Man.”It was the rst time since 1801 that thetitle had been bestowed. He was recognizedby museum archivist Bo Taylor who said,“Jerry embodies everything a beloved manshould embody. He’s a veteran, a warrior.Being a veteran carries a lot of weight inour culture. He’s a man who gets out anddoes--and he does for others. He’s seless.”

    “You might call me an active man,” Jerrydemurred. I followed him to the museum’scenterpiece, a life-size statue of a young,muscular warrior in ceremonial dresswearing an antlered helmet and loinclothand holding aloft a burning ember. “That’s

    me,” Jerry said. His body was cast by theartist decades ago. He stood beside his younger version for a photo, a telescope ofhistory. Interactive displays tell the storyof the Cherokees from 12,000 years agoto the present by combining computer-generated imagery, special effects, andaudio with an extensive artifact collection.It’s done so well that Van Romans of WaltDisney Imagineering said “The Museum ofthe Cherokee Indian is revolutionary in itsability to tell stories and should be a modelto other museums that are struggling toengage their audience in their message.”

    I spent the night at the incongruousHarrah’s Cherokee Casino Resort whereAhinawake Littledave showed me aroundthe massive 21-story building.

    “There are many things to do here,” shesaid pointing out a state-of-the-art 3,000seat performance hall being set up for JayLeno, the miles of gaming tables, clangingslot machines, sedate poker rooms, varioustable games and ten on-site food andrestaurant choices. As a full service resort,the property features a spa, shops, liveentertainment and swimming pools. Ms.

    Littledave touted the various ways that theresort helps the community by using it as atraining ground for tribal members aspiringto become managers and the twice yearlyprot sharing checks that all Cherokeesreceive as well as scholarship, educationaland health funds. An extensive collectionof Cherokee art adorns the building. Arooftop garden spills into seven waterfallsrepresenting the seven clans. Since thecasino opened in 1997, “It’s a differentway of life,” she noted. The occupancy rateruns about 95 percent, drawing peoplefrom all over the Southeast hoping to winbig jackpots like the $200,000 winner Ms.Littledave saw or to qualify for the WorldPoker Tour.

    Whether you win jackpots or not,the enrichment from stopping here isinvaluable. Despite the tragic and movinghistory, Cherokee wisdom and humor seemto endure as in this adage: “When the whiteman discovered this country, Indians wererunning it. No taxes, no debt, women didall the work. White man thought he couldimprove on a system like this.” Cherokee,North Carolina has lots of stories to tell.

    descending. These had alwaysn his notions of Christians as ang, “long haired, dreadlocked,

    er dude party animal” wholled at UNC Wilmingtonly because he “knew that ita big party school and thatcould go surf as much as [he]ted.” He knows what it’s likese sight of your bearings. Hews how it feels to be angry andused. Warner recalls manyy Sunday mornings, passingollege town church while

    mbling home, often drugsalcohol still in his system.

    remembers the churchgoersrrying across the street “to gety” from him.

    My experience of Christians

    that those are the peoplelook at you and judge you,”aid. “And I didn’t wanna be

    und them,” He speaks withplete sincerity as he recallschallenging and triumphant

    h journey.hough Warner was baptized

    the Catholic Church asaby, his family never fullyaged in the faith. They

    eased into “this sort ofeotypical American dream

    in Southern California, he

    said, and they thought they hadit all.

    “We lived in the right place,and we drove the right cars, andhad the right house, and I wentto the right school, and then, um,unfortunately, you know, that'snot enough to satisfy the deepestneeds of the heart.” For his rst year of high school, Warnerattended La Salle Catholic HighSchool where “God startedmoving” in his life. “I was justabsolutely fascinated, you know,I couldn't gure out why but I

    was really drawn to the mass,”he recalls. “Even though I hadn'tbeen conrmed, I would sneakdown when we would have thesebig assemblies. I really wanted toreceive the aliments, to receivethe body and blood of Christ,and, um, and one of the brotherslet me—which was way outsideof the rules.” Warner believes thebrother recognized a “hunger”in him, some unspoken “desireto know God,” and he fondlyattributes much of his early faithto this man.

    Suddenly, as his freshman year of high school was winding

    down, two moving trucks showedup at his door. “So we weremoving,” Warner said abruptly.“My understanding was that wewere moving to a bigger housebecause that's what you do, right?You achieve a certain level, and you keep moving up. And whathappened was two moving trucksshow up. My dad was headingone way and my mom and I wereheading another way. That's howI found out they were getting adivorce… For me, that started

    really a long journey for the next years into drugs and alcohol(as) a way to cope with pain.”Shortly after the divorce, he andhis mother moved to Charlotte,North Carolina, where he wasenrolled in South MecklenburgHigh School—nicknamed “RedNeck Meck.” This transitionwas a “major culture shock” toWarner, and he began searchingfor new friends. Eventually, he joined with the party crowd who,according to Warner, universallywelcome loners with “open arms.”

    “I was really mixed up. Iwas really hurting from thedivorce. You know. It was reallydevastating to me at, uh, at sucha crucial time particularly whena young man needs a dad. Therewas this big gap,” he explained. Things “started to fall apart”by Warner’s sophomore year ofcollege.

    “I mean, I was really gettinginto a crowd I never knew Iwould end up with,” he said. Itwasn’t long before Warner’s worldcrumbled as he stood front andcenter at at what would be one ofhis nal Grateful Dead concerts

    in Washington, D.C. Warnerstopped in his tracks the moment“Hell in a Bucket” began to play.He realized his life “really wasgoing to hell in a bucket,” and hehad to escape. He ed the concert,reached the parking lot, and fellto his knees in prayer to a Godhe didn’t even know. It was thenthat he decided there needed tobe a change.

    Naturally, as a geology majorand the son of a doctor, he neededto know with scientic certainty

    that his spiritual experiencewas real. And, because theexperiment must be replicable,he attended the next evening’sconcert. To put it nicely, he saidthe performance “sounded kindalike a cat dying in a garbage can.”He was lost and afraid leaving thestadium that night, but, “all thesudden, what Bible calls ‘A Peace That Passes Understanding,’ thisoverwhelming peace just washedover me,” he said. “And I knew--Ididn’t hear anything, I didn’t seeanything, okay, I want to be clear

    about that—but I knew Jesuswas there with me. As though hewere standing there next to me. I just knew.”

     This Damascus RoadConversion, as he called it,“radically changed” his life,allowing him a sort of religiousrebirth. But his path wasn’teasy. There were a lot of difcultobstacles in his way to sobrietyand his relationship withGod. Warner switched majors,graduated from UNC Wilmingtonwith an English degree, sat ona dock for three hours learningSpanish with the woman he

    would later marry, started andraised a family, established andspread a Men’s Hiking Ministryacross the East Coast, and iscurrently planning for the newI’on community parish which willopen this coming July.

    Now, Warner’s message is this:“God’s crazy about you. And hewants you to know him. And youcan know him. God’ll meet you--just come and hang out for awhile.”

    former parking lot has been converted into a construction site forour new Town Hall/Police Station!

    People seem to have two questions when witnessing this activity:What about the park, and what about the parking?

    Be assured the J. Marshall Stith Park is fully open for business.However, we do ask parents to be aware of the need to keep theirchildren clear of the construction site, and to be mindful of addedtrafc associated with the construction project.

    As you can see this has necessitated the elimination of theparking places that occupied that space. We have new signagedirecting people going to Town Hall to some newly designated spotson Station 20 1/2 alongside the Fire Station and temporary Town

    Hall, for folks on Town business, and a route to the pre-existinghandicapped spots for Town hall. We are also directing othervisitors to other parking locations such as the Battery Thompsonlot behind the Post Ofce.SPEAKING OF THE BATTERY THOMPSON PARKING LOT…

     The Town provided General Dynamics with some access andstorage space for their prototype landing craft that underwenttests here recently. In appreciation, General Dynamics has fundeda more attractive replacement of the fencing around the Battery Thompson parking lot. Construction is underway; thank youGeneral Dynamics.SPEAKING OF THANK-YOU’S…

     The members of the Charleston Running Club have recentlydemonstrated what good friends they are to Sullivan’s Island. At ourlast regular Town Council meeting, the Club presented the Town’sFire and Rescue Squad with a check for $6,300 from the last two

    Floppin’ Flounder runs, which they conducted in partnership withthe squad. Also, during the previous weekend, they conducted acauseway/marsh cleanup which produced many bags lled withan astounding amount and variety of trash that others had left onthe causeway and marsh.

    When we who are fortunate enough to live here get frustratedwith the trafc and the crowds, it’s important to remember that wehave many “honorary Islanders,” like the Running Club membersand so many of our Fire and Rescue volunteers, neighbors whoalso love the Island and work to give back to it. Thank you to themall!

    Wild Dunes Dolphins Swim Team celebrated the end of the2015 season with a July 20 pool party and awards ceremonyspotlighting the contributions of its swimmers, who range in

    age from preschool through high school. The Wild Dunes Dolphins Parent Volunteer Board also recognized

    the valuable leadership of President Lucie McLaughlin, who is

    stepping down after serving in her position for three seasons. Duringthat period, the team almost doubled from around 70 swimmersto nearly 140 from Isle of Palms, Sullivan’s Island and neighboringcommunities.

    McLaughlin spent countless hours guiding coaches, parents andswimmers. She also introduced several changes that made the effort,which relies heavily on the energy of parent volunteers, run smootherand more efciently.

    “Lucie has done a tremendous job of growing the Wild DunesSwim team,” said Vice President Susan Stabene. “We will miss herdevotion, enthusiasm, and leadership. She will truly be missed as ourpresident, but we know she will always be supporting the team andcheering ‘Go Dolphins!’"

    Serving as president has been an honor, said McLaughlin, whosedaughter, Carlie, and son, George, are veterans on the team. “It hasbeen such a pleasure to get to know the swimmers and parents. It

    amazes me to see how far many of the swimmers have progressedover the season and over the past three years, going from tears, notwanting to get in the pool, to swimming down the lanes and receivingribbons in the meets.

    “I am going to miss being the ‘Swim Team Lady,’” she added. The Parent Volunteer Board also would like to thank the team’s

    head coach, Cameron Oakley, and assistant coaches Sarah Boyleand Henry Loong for a successful season that included wins againstRivertowne on the Wando and Mount Pleasant Recreation Department.In addition, the team thanks Wild Dunes, which provides a practicepool for the team from May into July, and the rest of the team sponsorsand volunteers.During the celebration, the coaches gave out the followingspecial awards:

    Dolphin Award: Sarah Canterbury Sunshine Award: Salem Dunaway 

    Leadership Award: Derek Sireci, Lauren CoxSpirit Award: Mac Hassell, Claudia Hassell Junior Coach of the Year: Alexa BellFamily Award: The Caturanos

    July 29 has come and gone andI hope you have not boughtor upgraded to the "new and

    and if you have Windows 7 thinkut waiting till 2020 for now. Aslast column suggested, the newrating System can and will send

    a about your use of it for "productrovement," plus it will do it's best to

    ke you save all your data online. Itts you to use what is called SaaS,ware as a Service, which means allr software is subscription based,do not own it, you rent it and payonthly fee to use it. This is thee idea behind paying a monthlyfor music services like Spotify,Microsoft sees this as the next

    l of marketing and is pushing itressively with 10.

    you have installed 10 and ndyour DVD will not work in your

    op or desktop, some older USBks will not work, or your games,dows Media Center and other greatgrams are not working, well it turnsthey have been deemed unworthy

    he new world of Windows 10.K, now for some other tidbits…ales are on now for existing 8/8.1ops and desktops. I would buym now, before I was hesitant, but

    with the advent of the Windows10 you(with a bit of help) can make thesecomputers work well. Windows 7 Prolaptops/desktops are still availableonline as well.

    Calls and pop-ups on about viruses(malware) are always FAKE. They arenever are real; it is always a way toget money from you. The same as the"prince from Nigeria" that wants togive you $500,000,000. The Islandsare getting hit with calls about yourcomputer being infected, it's a FAKE. Itseems about every 9 months the idiotsdial the islands with abandon; don'tfall for it and don't let your neighbors.

    I look forward to seeing whatMicrosoft does with 10; hopefully itwill be a stable platform but there areclearly some issues to work out. Oneblogger said it took him over 2 hoursto "opt-out" of all the parts of 10 thatwant to send "data" or anonymousdata for product improvement backto Microsoft and he was not sure hefound them all. They are all checked yes as default and you have to un-check them manually if you don't wantthe data sent to Microsoft.

    As always if you have questions orneed help you can call or email me,Rent A Bob at 843.822.7794 or emailat [email protected].

    have coffee, treats and a great discussion. Any questionscontact [email protected]

    Ruth Reichl has long illuminated the theme of how fooddenes us, and never more so than in her dazzling ctiondebut about sisters, family ties, and a young woman whomust nally let go of guilt and grief to embrace her owntrue gifts.

    Billie Breslin has traveled far from her California hometo take a job at Delicious, the most iconic food magazinein New York and, thus, the world. When the publicationis summarily shut down, the colorful staff, who havebecome an extended family for Billie, must pick up theirlives and move on. Not Billie, though. She is offered anew job: staying behind in the magazine's deserteddowntown mansion ofces to uphold the "DeliciousGuarantee"-a public relations hotline for complaints andrecipe inquiries-until further notice. What she doesn'tknow is that this boring, lonely job will be the portal to alife-changing discovery.

    Delicious carries the reader to the colorful world

    of downtown New York restaurateurs and artisanalpurveyors, and from the lively food shop in Little Italywhere Billie works on weekends to a hidden room inthe magazine's library where she discovers the letters ofLulu Swan, a plucky twelve-year-old, who wrote to thelegendary chef James Beard during World War II. Lulu'sletters lead Billie to a deeper understanding of history(and the history of food), but most important, Lulu'scourage in the face of loss inspires Billie to come to termswith her own issues-the panic attacks that occur everytime she even thinks about cooking, the truth about thebig sister she adored, and her ability to open her heart.

    Acounty-wide bike and

    City of North Charleston, theof Charleston, Charleston

    es, Charleston County, andkeley-Charleston-Dorchesterncil of Governments to putnishing touches on the

    rleston County People toks Plan, or P2P.he plan started in 2012ng CCPRC’s developmentits comprehensive Parks,eation, Open Space, ands Plan. As CCPRC now has10,000 acres of parkland,

    PROST Plan was intended toe the development of parksprograms based on the future

    eational needs of Charlestonnty residents.he national pedestrian bike

    and planning rm Alta Planning,

    who consulted on route analysisfor the PROST Plan, also leadsthe objective bike/pedestrianroute prioritization process forthis current,more detailedplanningeffort.

    P2P and itspublic inputprocess willidentify saferoutes for on-street bikeways andseparated bike and pedestrianpaths. As its name suggests, thegoal of this project is to connect

    people to parks--be it from school,home, work--by foot or by bike.CCPRC staff members would liketo receive as much public inputas possible from the residentsof Charleston County as wellas surrounding areas, with arandomly selected contributorreceiving a free Gold Pass fortheir efforts.

    “We’re trying to build on thegreat local bike routes and bike-pedestrian plans already in place,while also recognizing gaps inthat existing infrastructure,” said

    CCPRC Land Resource ManagerMatt Moldenhauer."P2P will propose a basic

    cross-county network of bike and

    pedestrian facilities that futurecommunity-level improvements,”CCPRC Executive Director TomO’Rourke adds. “We, with our

    planning partners, think thatindividuals and families shouldfeel safe walking or ridingtheir bikes to their parks. The

    infrastructure doesn’t currentlyexist in many parts of our region,and funding for these amenitiesis limited.”

    Communities throughout thesoutheast such as Greenville, SCand Wilmington, NC have similarplans to improve livability andaccessibility for their residents. This plan is intended to serve asthe ‘road map’ to guide futureregional bike and pedestrian

    connections in the Lowcountry,

    while also linking togetherregional recreational facilities.

    Area residents who desireimproved bike and pedestrianfacilities should visit the surveyand wiki-map at surveymonkey.com/r/people2parks. Here thepublic can submit feedback onthe quality and availability ofexisting facilities, and also drawin preferred destinations androutes.

    Map contributors will be ableto review and comment on theroutes mapped by previousrespondents. Once sufcient

    public input has been received,representatives from AltaPlanning, CCPRC, CharlestonCounty, and their planningpartners will weigh in and makefurther recommendations. Themap and survey will be openthrough July 31.

    nie Darling, Delores Schweitzer, Sophia Sistis, Kathi McGregor-Ouzts and

    leen Hale-Brewer of the Poe Branch Library celebrate the much-anticipated

    ase of Go Set a Watchman by Harper Lee.

    Harper Lee arrives atSullivan's Library

    Starting on Monday, July 20,a lacrosse camp was held atthe Isle of Palms Recreation

    Department. Twenty campersranging in ages of 10 to 15learned about the sport from twoformer college lacrosse players.Shane Warner and Sean Ford,the leaders of the camp, comefrom differing backgrounds, butboth share the same philosophyof the game.

    Warner was a former collegelacrosse player at BinghamtonUniversity in New York (a hotbedof lacrosse), and now coaches atMcDaniel College in Maryland.Ford graduated from theMcCallie School in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and went to theUniversity of South Carolina.

    Ford enjoys this camp becausehe wants to extend the "growth ofthe game." He also says coachinghas improved, helping to growthe sport very quickly in thepast few years, since the SCHSLsanctioned the sport in the state,

    and Wando High School has hada competitive team for the lastseveral years.

    Lowcountry Lacrosse, which

    runs the camps, held camps onDaniel Island and at Park Westbefore this past week's camp onIsle of Palms.

    After Warner played lacrossefor four years at Binghamton,he wanted to stay in the gamepreparing the next generation ofplayers. Prior to his senior year,he spent two weeks in Ugandawith the Fields of Growthgrassroots lacrosse program,

    running camps and helping tobuild a school.

    Campers were taughtpassing, catching and shootingtechniques. During my visit, theywere hard at work conductingrunning and throwing drills withtheir stick, gloves, helmet andpads, and all seemed very eagerto learn.

    In this camp, Warner andFord's biggest goals were to keepkids interested for beginners,and for kids who have someexperience to bring their game tothe next level. The camp starts

    with fundamentals, but by theend of the week they startedplaying games against eachother.
