It is an amazing thing to live on a mostly-rural barrier island roughly the size oManhattan. While an everyday drive will

take you past amiliar ruit stands, houses,restaurants and businesses, a short detourdown a tractor-etched dirt road leaves youstanding in the middle o more than 300acres o maritime orest. One such place isStono River Riding Academy.

Founded as Stono River Stables in 1969by the Reed amily, the Stono River Riding Academy can be ound at the edge o theBlackloch Nature Preserve, a 300 acre blocko orest, old pastureland and marsh locatedabout hal a mile down Hut road o oRiver Road on Johns Island. For orty yearsthe Reeds managed the horses, stables andproperty, and when it seemed as though t he work required to run a stable became toomuch, the Folden amily cantered into theirlives.

A rider since the age o 10, MichelleFolden has earned a stunning reputationboth as a rider and trainer. Specializing indressage a orm o progressive training

School had the opportunity to see betweenMonday, May 31, and Tursday, June 3this year. Neither a total drenching by asudden rainstorm as we walked rom the Air and Space Museum to the Capitol,nor walking six-plus miles each day couldspoil the trip or these kids.

Te second o what is becoming atradition or graduating fth gradersat Mount Zion, the school trip to Washington, D.C. is the culmination ohistory and science studies rom ourth and

fth grades. It was especially gratiyingto hear all the compliments which theMount Zion kids received at almost everyplace we visited. Tey were well-behaved,interested in what we were seeing andhearing, and asked relevant questions.Tey took advantage o the opportunityto speak with Holocaust survivors, andthe White House pastry che was soimpressed with the kids knowledge andthe stories they told about theirgarden atMount Zion that he took them on a mini-

tour o the inside o the White House; anunexpected delight or everyone.

Everyone returned home sae, soundand totally exhausted: kids and chaperonesalike. We will all remember what a specialour days we spent together and I doubtthe students will ever orget this hands-onlearning experience. Tis trip would nothave been possible without the generosityo Kiawah and Seabrook property ownerscontributions and the und raising eventsthe students held throughout the year.

My ather was born the son o immigrants whoarrived in the United States as teenagers romthe old country that is present day Slovakia.

My grandparents let individually as World War I waserupting. Tey rst ound each other in Cleveland, Ohio,and then the Great Depression ound them. Family loresays my ather stole coal o the coal piles o the steel millsor heat.

He didnt speak English until the rst grade and oundhis road to assimilation into American culture throughthe game o baseball. He loved the game rom the rst

time he played and his ocus and dream thereater was toplay in the majors.

My ather would play baseball so oten that mygrandather nally built him a makeshit outdoor showerto wash away the ball yard beore coming into the house.From sunrise to sunset, every summer and or most othe year until the snow ell, my ather could be oundplaying ball.

He did not excel as a student, but starred on his highschool baseball team at West echnical High School as ashortstop. His senior year the school played or the city

championship at Municipal Stadium; the ormer 80,000seat monstrosity on the shores o Lake Erie. His team lost1-0 on a no-hitter, a crazy set o circumstances that sadlyoreshadowed a baseball career that was not to be.

Just as he was about to sign a contract with thePhiladelphia Athletics, Uncle Sam and the militarydecided my athers presence was needed in uniorm,ending his baseball career orever. He managed to nd a

way to play baseball as part o a traveling team or the AirForce that toured the other air bases, but by the time histour was up, so was his shot at baseball.

He would tell the story o his last tryout with theCleveland Indians with a tenderness o heart that I rarelysaw. How he was told to do himsel a avor and get aneducation and how it was the day baseball broke myheart. I have a photo o him on the steps o the dugoutbeore the City Championship wearing a smile that wasa stranger to me.

Ater acquiring the necessary education, my ather sethis sights on the board room. A tenacious businessman,he rose through the ranks into areas where people withimmigrant last names werent welcome, sacricing boththe quality and amount o his time at home. He oundthat bank executives and the people they made deals withplayed gol, so he taught himsel how to play and more

oten than not, invited himsel along as a guest at clubswho wouldnt have him as a member. Gol satised hisdrive to compete and proved his worth as member o theGreat Melting Pot. But gol never touched his soul nordened his person as did playing baseball.

My ather taught me gol because, in part, he neededa playing companion, and secondly because he saw it aspart o my education and the ultimate key to unlimitedsuccess. I got a used set o Johnny Revolta woods and ironsand I was on my way. We started rst at a driving rangeand then moved on to Roseland, a par three gol course

that was hal-dirt, hal-pasture and was crisscrossed withpower lines.

Gol was also a way or us to spend time togetherdoing something. Long talks, discussing emotions andsharing in earnest were not skills that came easily orreadily to him. In many ways these were the ultimate signo weakness to men o his generation, but a round o golequated to time spent together and the opportunity to

interact. He was trying to nd a way.We played rounds together as I g rew older, but he never

mastered much o the game. His swing was all baseball.In hindsight, I think he played that way out o spite andstubbornness, as i to say that he would only conormso much and surrender only so much o what meant themost to him.

One o his happiest days came when he joined acountry club. Tis was not one o the established clubs oCleveland, but a modest club in the southern armlandso an adjacent county. Nonetheless, it ofcially made hima part o, and a bag tag bearing his name showed the world that the immigrant who couldnt speak Englishhad arrived.

We played many rounds at that club over the years andover time, it became a place where he ultimately came togrips with dreams never realized, and I came to know the

difcult path my ather traveled to get us there. Americagave him a chance at a dierent lie and gol gave us achance to have a dierent relationship.

He passed away many years ago, but I still have thattag and treasure all that it stands or.

Until next time, play well.

.sads.

In the 1960s, Sam Brownlee, aormer James Island native, wasbrainstorming with his ellow

Optimist Club board members onhow to help spread the word o theClub and its activities. Founded as

an organization to help developingyouth today or a better tomorrow, theJames Island Optimist Club sponsoredseveral sporting events and providedsae un or the younger generation.However, the news o the Club was notgetting around to as many people asthe board members would have liked,so in 1968, Brownlee and ellow boardmembers Joel Flint, Al Eades, RayBrown, Jim Pratt, D.M. Tomas and Jack Wilbanks ounded the very rstJames Island Journal.

A true optimist, Brownlee was arm believer that the Optimist Clubneeded a orm o communication

to reach the young people in thecommunity, and the monthly JamesIsland Journal seemed like just theticket.

o help support the paper, Brownleesold advertisements to businesseslike Edwards general store, Red & White grocery and Hermans BarberShop, who were all very receptive tothe papers main purpose. Eades, agrammar school principal by day, didthe majority o the editing, and Flintwrote articles while Brown worked ongraphics and layouts.

Te seven men were a true team, working many nights at home that

oten turned into mornings. Ater a

while, they were able to move into areal oce: an accurate sign o theirsuccess. Ater arranging all eightpages in the oce, the men took turnsdriving down to the Walterboro Pressearly Tursday mornings to have the

paper printed.Te James Island Journal denitely

achieved all that they had hoped orand more, raising a signicant amounto unds all o which went back tothe Club in order to urther enhancetheir programs, and promoting theirpartnership with the YMCA.

Te men eventually chose to giveup their positions and the thrivingnewspaper was sold. Tere were noregrets though, according to Brownlee,because they had done their best and were now able to return to spendingmore time with their wives andchildren.

Even though Brownlee is nowretired, he stays busy as an activemember o the Johns Island Council, Water Department Board, and FireDepartment Commission.

While Brownlee was not in thepublishing business or money or ame,he was in it or a reason. I was in it orone reason, said Brownleee, to makea dierence. And what a dierence hehas made!

Sam Brownlee now lives on JohnsIsland with his wie and continues tohelp in every way he can. For more ino,e-mail him at [email protected].

he tragedy o the BP Oil Spillin the Gul o Mexico has letmany o us eeling sick over the

immense destruction o natural habitatand wildlie. We are inundated withimages o birds covered in oil, sea turtlesstruggling, and sherman robbed o

their livelihood. Yet, in the midst odisaster, all hope is not lost. A younggirl named Grace reminded me, andhundreds more, that we could still makea dierence. Ater several days o eelingsad and helpless over the sour situation inthe Gul, Grace made lemonade.

Five years ago, Grace attended one omy classroom presentations on reptilesheld at the Nature Center on Kiawah.I can picture her now, sitting with hermom and dad, a red bow pulling hershort, sun-blond hair to the side. Teinquisitive questions she asked and her

well thought-out responses literally tookme by surprise. Tere was a look o pureexcitement, o joy in learning that fashed

in her eyes. Was she really only ve-years-old? She and her parents stayedater the presentation and it was decided;

we should be riends.

Ater years o getting to know Gracemore, my admiration o her has onlygrown. Te Christmas card photo oher alongside a loggerhead hatchlingis two years old, and still hangs onour rerigerator. A kayak, carved outo dritwood, sits on my bookshel; agit Grace made or me ater we wenton a kayak trip together. Tis year, weexperienced paddle boarding in the salt

marsh a rst or both o us! Needlessto say, when I received an email romGraces mom with a link to the National

Wildlie Federations website with Gracein the headlines, I was not surprised.

Again, I was amazed. Grace had asimple undraising idea that raised over

a thousand dollars or the oil spill relie. With the help o her parents, witter,and Facebook, Grace set up a lemonadestand that attracted hundreds o peoplerom her surrounding neighborhoodin Alexandria, VA. Lemonade, apple

juice, coee, doughnuts, cookies, andsnacks were given to those who made aminimum $5 donation to the National

Wildlie Federation (NWF). Classmatesbrought their piggy banks. Te principleo her elementary school came with hisamily to give a donation. Graces momtold the NWF, So many people saidthey were eeling as we were sad andnot knowing what to do about it andthis gave them an outlet to do something

positive.Singer/songwriter Bono continues hissong entitled Grace with the ollowingphrases: Grace nds goodness ineverything Grace nds beauty ineverything Grace makes beauty out ougly things. My riend is Grace. Youmay never get to meet her, but you canshow grace to the people you meet eachday. You can exempliy grace in themidst o lies tough situations. You canmake a dierence, just like Grace.

proposals, the town received proposalsrom companies ars and Stripes andPeek Pavement. While the town stais still in the process o determining

which company to use, Rucker askedthe Council or an expenditure approvalnot to exceed $14,000 based on currentestimates. Te Council approved theexpenditure unanimously.

Looking into changing the townvoting locationTe Council briey discussed howdicult it would be to change the currentvoting location on Kiawah rom the frestation to own Hall. While the frestation tends to be subject to temperatureuctuations, the issue with using ownHall mainly revolves around the lacko parking spaces. Councilman AlBurnaord noted that the own averagesaround 900 voters per election, andCouncilman Charlie Lipuma remarkedthat poll workers are pushing hard torelocate rom the inclement fre station.Councilman McHugh suggested thatthe election commission come up witha plan on how they would use the own

Hall and own Hall parking i the votinglocation was moved, and Mayor Wertagreed, stating that he would ask theelection commission chair or a layout onhow they would use the acility and askthem to bring it to the next meeting.

Arts CouncilCouncilman Lipuma stated that the

Arts Council season closed with theJune 30 Zydeco perormance at NightHeron Park, and will resume again in

September. Te Zydeco was a big hit,said Lipuma. We had about 500 peopleand it worked out quite well. He notedthat the Arts Council annual reportshould be available or the next Councilmeeting.

Environmental CommitteeGarbage, garbage, garbage! smiledCouncilman McHugh as he reported onthe progress o the recycling committee,noting that the island is now pretty much

covered; rom single amily homes toHOAs and cottages. One area wherewe can still improve is the regimesand condominiums, he said. A trialusing limited locations or recycling inone o the villas ailed miserably dueto contamination, so the committeeis looking into revising the plan tohave multiple recycling options at eachlocation. I were successul, then we canmake recycling 100% available to regimesand then well have the island covered.Mayor Wert asked about the potentialor getting more recycling containers

with wheels and Rucker reported thatthey have contacted a company who canprovide the containers and that they

would be available soon.

Waiting on the LPA road studyCouncilman Burnaord reported thatthe LPA Group, the company lookingin to the potential widening o JohnsIslands major roads and the easibilityo the Johns Island Greenway, shouldbe giving their frst report either inlate July or August. He also notedthat the Charleston County PlanningDepartment will be trimming treesalong Bohicket and River Roads within

the next six months, and that six treestotal along the various major roads arescheduled to be removed due to theirunsae condition. Councilman Lipumaasked i the LPA study would be availableor review online, and Burnaord repliedthat it would be once it was approved.

Town Administrators reportumiko Rucker thanked everyone ortheir participation in this years Disaster

Awareness Day, which she reported was a

huge success, with the biggest attendancein the past fve years. She also reportedon a recent County emergency drill at theCounty Emergency Management Center

which she attended, noting that it wasgood to see the Countys plan in action.In order to prepare the own, the townsta is continuing to update and improveinternal plans, and will be doing somerenovations to own Hall, the ownsEmergency Operations Center, to includemore phone and computer lines so thatthey can be used when needed.

On another note, Rucker stated thatsome pending legislation discussedduring the recent county managersmeeting would modiy the existingbusiness license statute. In drat orm, the

legislation could have a detrimental eecton the amount o revenue coming in tothe town. Lastly, Rucker pointed outthat there is a survey in the most recentown Notes and online which she askedevery citizen to take the time to fll out.It consists o fve questions and will helpthe own Notes improve as an eectivecommunication tool. Te survey is alsoavailable at www.kiawahisland.org.

Happy kids, clean water and a potentialdevelopment agreement with KIGRMayor Wert was happy to report thatthe town received a thank you letterrom Mount Zion or their contributiono $750 toward the schools awardscelebration on June 2. It was money wellspent, Wert smiled.

Te mayor also noted that the townsdrinking water quality report came in

with very positive results. In terms othe upcoming municipal elections, Wert

announced that all fve two-year-termCouncil positions will be open as oSeptember 8 at 9 a.m., and stated thathe would be fling again or mayor atexactly 9:01 a.m. Filling costs are $25or council members and $50 or mayor,and the fling period closes on October 8.Elections will be held on the frst uesdayin December. For more inormation orfling orms, drop by own Hall. DuringCouncil comments, Councilman Orbanannounced that he would not be runningagain or Council. I have served or eightyears, which is sucient, said Orban.I encourage others to sign up and run.Become a part o town government.

Lastly, Mayor Wert stated thatthe own has come to a tentative

development agreement with the KiawahIsland Gol Resort. Te PlanningCommission will look into it and makesure it complies with the comprehensiveplan, then we will hold two publichearings on the development agreement
