Crabpot Players have been

providing the Isle of

Palms and surrounding

towns with some incredible

theater over the past few years,

plucking talent from the island

population as selectively as an

oenophile chooses his wine.

Recently, however, this beloved

local theater company has beguntaking it a step further by offering

a chance for aspiring young

actors to learn from some of the

best with a summer theater camp

at the Isle of Palms Recreation

Center.

Directed by Crabpot Players

Director Jimmy Ward and

Assistant Directors Page

Fortuna, Trish Perrine and

Caitlin Armstrong, this summers

theater camp welcomed 22

students to the two week camp

and while there were plenty

of fun activities for the young

actors and actresses, this camp

was also a life lesson on how

much hard work and effort goes

into even the smallest stage

performances.

Students rehearsed for three

hours a day, ve days a week for

two weeks in preparation for their

nal performance, and the rst

day of camp featured a rigorous

You may, on occasion, ask yourself why

you are investing. Why go through theuctuations of the nancial markets, the

worry over interest rate movements, the fearsof today and the uncertainties of tomorrow?

To answer this question, you may need

to ask yourself one more: For whom am Iinvesting? Consider the following:Youre investing for yourself.It sounds selsh,

but its not. You may be investing in your401(k), IRA and other investment accounts sothat you can enjoy a comfortable retirementlifestyle after working your entire adult life. But

youre also investing so that you can becomenancially independent free of worries that

youll become a burden to your grown childrenor other family members. And giventhe real possibility of spending two,or even three, decades in an activeretirement, its imperative that youput as much as you can possiblyafford into those investmentvehicles that can help you pursue

your nancial independence.Youre investing for your family. If

you have children or grandchildren, you may well want to help thempay for college. And, as you know,college has gotten much moreexpensive in recent years, so youllneed to save and invest from thetime your children are very young,and youll need to choose the rightinvestment accounts, such as a 529college savings plan or a CoverdellEducation Savings Account. But

youll also need to think about otherfamily members, too. Have youbuilt up enough in your retirementaccounts so that the money would besufcient to support your survivingspouse should anything happento you? Will you have enoughnancial resources to help support

your elderly parents should theyrequire assistance? And will you beable to leave this type of legacy youdesire? As you can see, when youreinvesting for your family, youve gota lot to consider.

Youre investing for your beliefs. Throughout your working years,you may try to give as much money

as you can to those charitable organizationswhose work you support. Yet you may wishyou could do even more. And eventually, youmay be able to do more. For example, if youhold an investment for many years and thensell it, youll have to pay capital gains taxes on

any increase in value and the capital gainstax rate of the future may not be as low asit has been over the past several years. Butif you were to give the appreciated asset to acharitable organization, you could avoid payingthe capital gains tax, because the organization

would be the one that eventually sold the asset.Plus, you might even get a current income taxbreak for your contribution. You might also

want to include charitable organizations in

your estate plans, after consulting with yourattorney or other estate tax advisor.

As you can see, youve got some keyconstituencies counting on you. By keepingthem in mind, you should have the motivation

you need to overlook the day-to-day ups and

downs of investing while you keep your focuson your important long-term goals.

auditioning session. The result of all their hard

work was worth it, however, with a spectacular,

one-night-only performance on Friday, August

13, at the Recreation Center. The series of

vignettes included selections from Aladdin, TheLion King, The Little Mermaid, Catholic School

Girls, Wicked, The Hunchback of Notre Dame,

Song of the South and Spam-

a-lot, as well as a one-act play

entitled Nine Reasons Not to be

in a Play.

Each player visibly poured their

heart into their performance,

and the passion could be felt in

the audience as they laughed

or quietly sang along with the

actors and actresses. The one

act play was very engaging,

with each performer shining

in their particular role. The

series concluded with the entireensemble singing Always Look

on the Bright Side of Life

from the musical Spam-a-lot,

and featured an impressive

gymnastics performance by

several of the actresses.

The Summer Camp Musical

Revue was an encouraging

glimpse into this years selection

of plays from Crabpot Players.

In fact, auditions are being held on October 18,

2010, for the play Miracle on 34th Street, to be

performed December 8 11, 2010. Actors of all

ages are welcome to audition at the Isle of Palms

Island parking needs managementBY BLAKE BUNCH

Almost any day when thesun is shining, peopletend to day-trip out to

Sullivans Island. Public parkinghas remained an issue for mostresidents, as the recent public

hearings on managing islandparking have made clear, but ithas been especially difcult forthose who live near beach accesspoints or on the oceanfront. Onbusy days, residents may havethe entire edge of their yard

lled with beachgoers who,more often than not, disrespectthe island by leaving trash,changing clothes in public, anddisregarding no parking signs.I recently spoke with Mrs.

Lodema Adams, a concernedcitizen who lives near 28 andBrownell, in regards to the issueof public parking on the island.

Lodema lives near theHurricane House, a populardestination for water sport

enthusiasts, as well as thoselooking to relax at this scenicpart of the island.

There are no stop signs in thisarea where the Fire and Rescue,as well as Police units, typically

need to rescue someone aboutonce a week, said Lodema, whois very concerned with the safetyof everyone in that area duringthe day. When prompted aboutdisrespect to her property,Lodema stated that, Sometimesthey change their bathing suitsout there, completely in theopen. I mean, they are prettymuch nude at the time, theyhave no regard for anyone else.

I would be all for a paid-parking lot, Lodema stated,I just think that there shouldbe as much regulation island-

wide, rather than focusing mostof our attention toward the

commercial district. This issue is a re-occurring

one, indeed. The idea for somesort of public parking lot has beenbrought before Town Council,but plans for managing parkingon the island are still underdiscussion. Hopefully this issuecan be resolved in an appropriatemanner so that all can remainsafe in our island paradise.

I

f youre getting married this month,

youve got a lot on your mind, but after

the honeymoon is over, its time to startthinking of the key activities of building a life

together one of which is creating a long-

term investment strategy.

To build such a strategy, you and your

spouse will need to take several steps. Here

are some of the most important ones:

Identify your goals. People can enter

marriage at different stages of life,

but whether youre a young newlywed

or a baby boomer entering a second

marriage, both you and your spouse

will have a set of goals you want to

achieve, such as saving for a down

payment on a home, saving for college

for your children, building resources for

a comfortable retirement, purchasing avacation home, supporting charitable

organizations and so on. Its important

that, as a couple, you identify those

nancial goals that are most importantto you.

List your debts and assets. Generallyspeaking, the fewer surprises you

and your spouse bring to a marriage,

in terms of nancial issues, the better.If you havent already done so, put

your debts and assets on the table so

youre both aware of what you owe and

what you own. This knowledge will be

invaluable when you begin making the

investment moves necessary to achieve

your goals. Discussyourinvestmentstyles. You and

your spouse no doubt share many traits,

but you will also have some differences

and one of those differences may be in

your investment styles and preferences.

For example, you may be an aggressive

investor, while your spouse might be

more conservative. What you choose

to do with those differences is up to

you. You could, for example, arrive at

some common ground between your

Under the loving guidanceof Susan King, seven-

year veteran principal forSullivans Island Elementary,SIES has practically been reborn

in the old Whitesides Elementarybuilding on Rie Range Road.From repainting the hallwaysin the schools traditional sand-

brown wainscoting and whitewith a cork board runner, to thesky-blue and ocean-green colorsof the administration and classrooms, its almost as though

parts of the old Sullivans IslandElementary were scooped up andcarefully t into a new shell: andthats just about what they did.

We tried to make the buildingas much like the old school aspossible, said Principal King. Allof our old staff came with us, too;from the principal to the janitor.And our philosophy has moved

with us. Were the same school, we just oated over the bridgeand landed in a new location,she grinned.

While last-minute adjustmentsand repairs are still being made,King noted that the same welcome

desk at the school entrance will be installed before schoolbegins, and the enormous shtank which used to greet schoolvisitors and students alike willbe waiting to welcome this yearsstudents from its spot near thefront door. Even the old doubleblue lines on white linoleumoors have been installed in all ofthe schools hallways.

Weve already had some kidsfrom SIES come by and the rstthing they notice is the oors,said King. One student was soexcited when he saw them, he

exclaimed, They even have theblue lines!While the teachers are working

hard to recreate the old islandschool, there are a few changesthat are very welcome.

The classrooms are muchbigger! King exclaimed asshe swung open the door ofa kindergarten room. Along

with the open expanse ofcarpeted classroom area in thekindergarten room, the areaalso features a separate playroom with linoleum oors andspace for painting projects, sandtables and any number of messy

activities that were once the baneof fully-carpeted classrooms.Another hard-fought battle

for Principal King was the issueof playground equipment. Inthe process of xing up the newschool grounds, at least tworows of trailers were removedfrom the courtyard area behindthe school, leaving a large grassyexpanse in front of a line ofswings, a slide and a couplestaggered-height pull-up bars.While it was nice to have theopen space, King pointed out tothe school district that they hada bunch of excellent playgroundequipment, much of which wasdonated by the schools PTA, atthe old school that they couldmove onto the open grounds.

The district didnt want tomove the playground, saidKing, but their denial only madeher more determined. Within amatter of weeks, King found a

way to bring over the majorityof the most popular equipmentand with the help of WakeeldRecreation Services, the hobbyhorses, mushrooms, cheese

wall, net climber, dynamoclimber and other SIES favoriteswill be installed and ready for useby the rst day of school.

Im so excited! I feel like Ivewon a great battle, smiled King.

Another bonus of the newgrounds is the fact that it comes

with a softball and soccer eld,as well as a basketball court;areas which the old SIES buildingdidnt have due to space issues.

Although the transition to thenew school will be tough, as it

would for any child having toswitch to a new school building,the teachers and staff of SIES are

going above and beyond to makethe new grounds comfortableand familiar. And when the newschool is complete, Principal Kinghopes to have a grand openingparty and invite all of the schoolscurrent students as well as SIESgraduates to come and celebratethe new school.

Plans for the new school onSullivans's Island are alreadyunderway and Principal Kingpointed out that teachers andparents will be participating indesigning the new school along

with architects Cummings andMcCrady, Inc.

The new Sullivans IslandElementary is located at 1120 RifeRange Road, Mount Pleasant, 3.1miles from the old school grounds.The school phone number willremain the same, 883-3118, andmore information is availableon the school website at www.sullivansisland.ccsdschools.com.

The summer music scene

in Charleston typically

provides an outlet for one to

see live music nearly every night

of the week. On Isle of Palms, The

Windjammer has remained one of

these staple venues since 1972.

No matter what genre of music

you crave, the Windjammer has a

live act to suit your sensibilities,

from rock n roll to reggae, jazz,

punk, funk, dub, and almost

every other type of groove-able

music. If you live near the island

youve probably been there at

least once. It is almost impossible

to miss the vibe exuding from this

beach-front musical playground.

This is why their line-up

is always stellar. They have

legendary acts like The Wailers

and Little Feat frequent their

stage on a regular basis, so its

only tting that Rebelution, a

reggae/ska/dub band from Santa

Barbara, California, packed out

the bar and back porch area

during an all-ages show this past

Wednesday, August 11.

The death of Bradley Nowell,

lead singer/guitarist of Sublime,

in 1996 ushered in a wave of bands

that copied Sublimes template of

melodic reggae, turntables, B-3,

and, particularly, their style of

voice dubbing. Bands like Slightly

Stoopid, Pepper, and others seem

to replicate Sublimes style nearly

point-for-point. This is not the

case with the boys in Rebelution,

however. Reggae tends to use the

same rhythm, melodic chording

with downbeat drums and

keys, and has various genre

offshoots. Ska is a bit more up-

tempo type of reggae, typically

involving the use of more horns

or brass instruments, and the

Dancehall style tends to be

the more rowdy, funky version

of roots reggae. Rebelution

denitely sticks true to these

roots, mixing the various blends

of reggae and allowing them to

have a unique sound in a sea of

clones.

Rebelution has already made

it big in this genre, collaborating

with the likes of reggae legends

Half-Pint and Pato Banton, and

rap icons Talib Kweli and the

Pharcyde. The night after The

Windjammer show, Rebelution

opened up for the technically

driven jam-band, Umphreys

McGee, at the House of Blues in

Myrtle Beach. For a west coast

band, Rebelutions east coast

following was very impressive.

Since it was an all-ages show, I

imagine that once they began

their set, tickets were sold out.

The Windjammer is located

at 1008 Ocean Blvd. on Isle Of

Palms. For more information

about upcoming performances at

The Windjammer, visit www.the-

windjammer.com or call 886-8596.

two styles and use that approach in your

joint investment accounts. Then, for your

individual accounts, such as your IRA or

401(k), you and your spouse can follow your

individual investment styles.

Start an emergency fund. Of all the investment-related moves you can make early in your

marriage, none may be quite as important as

building an emergency fund containing six

to 12 months worth of living expenses in a

liquid account. Without this emergency fund,

you could quickly go into debt or be forced to

dip into a long-term investment if you have

to meet an unexpected, and unexpectedly

large, expense, such as a major car repair, a

new appliance or a medical bill.

Get some help. If you can make the right

investment-related moves right from the

beginning of your marriage, youll almost

certainly make your lives easier. But

investing can be complicated, so you and

your spouse could well benet from getting

assistance from a professional nancial

advisor someone who can help you createand maintain an investment portfolio thats

appropriate for your specic goals, risk

tolerance and time horizon.

By making the right investment moves, right from

the start of your marriage, you and your spouse

may be giving yourselves a wedding gift that may

benet you for years to come. So plan your moves

carefully and enjoy your lives together.

On August 15, our nesting season

ofcially ended, but we still have nestsout there to protect! Team members

have stopped their early morning weekly walkslooking for new nests and are now checkingthe unhatched nests for signs of caved-insand, hatchling tracks or problems with crabs,

ants, erosion or excessive sand build-up untilhatching time. Our last nest will probably nothatch until early October. We also make surethat houses near the nests due to hatch havetheir outside lights turned off. With rentalsthis is a constant job.

We have ended up with 24 nests on the Isleof Palms and Sullivans this year and this isprobably our total number for the season. Thisis about the same as the last few seasons. Asof August 11, nine of these have hatched. Eggsnumber about 2,500 with seven nests left insitu and the rest relocated. The average clutchsize is 104.5 eggs with the average incubationtime at 54.7 days. Our hatch rate is 77.7%.

There have been 14 non-nesting false crawlsand 15 strandings. The only live strandings

were Palmer, who is still at the sea turtlehospital, and a small green turtle from BreachInlet who died after we took it to the Aquariumon June 6 with a crushed shell. Strandingsincluded three green turtles and two KempsRidleys. The remaining were Loggerheads. Atleast three were hit by boats.

Statewide there have been 2,987 nests and4,373 false crawls with a 58.6% hatch rate. TheDNA research project for S.C., N.C. and G.A. is

ongoing and we have submitted samples fromall of our nests. However, there have beensome technical difculties with the equipmentbeing used to identify individual turtles so

we have received no more information afterlearning that the mothers from Nests #2 and#3 nested at Cape Romain after coming to the

Isle of Palms for their rst nests. The scientistsare optimistic about the project and the results

will be coming soon.Palmer update: The emaciated turtle

rescued at 2nd Ave. on June 9, who wasfeatured in the June 25 issue of thispaper, was in guarded condition at the SC

Aquariums Sea Turtle Hospital for a longtime. He was oating, lethargic and showinglittle improvement in spite of uids, injectionsand oral medications. But on June 21 hebegan to eat on his own. By August 7 he

was eating 3% of his body weight and nallyshowing some improvement in blood values.He is still emaciated, but now swims to thebottom of his tank looking for food.

Sharkbite update: In the last issue therewas a story about Sharkbite saying that we were looking for her to come back and nestthe rst weekend in August. We believe thatshe did come back, but shes true to her habitof making several nights of false crawls beforenally laying her eggs. We found her tracks atOcean Club Villas in Wild Dunes and then also

at the 18th fairway of the Links Course nearbyon the morning of August 5. The next night shecrawled near the 17th tee of The Links coursein Dewees Inlet and nally she laid eggs overon Dewees Island. According to Gary McGraw,nesting project leader on Dewees, there was anest laid the night of August 6 with irregulartracks. Since she stopped crawling on theIsle of Palms, were pretty sure she nested onDewees for her nal time.

With the recent bout

of extreme high

temperatures and

frequent cloud bursts, rats

escaping from the elements arebecoming a problem for barrier

island homeowners. According

to Kiawah Island Town Biologist

Jim Jordan, when rats were rst

introduced to the United States,

species included the House

Mouse, Norway Rat and Roof Rat,

but the voles and Hispid Cotton

Rats are spotted more often than

most.

In order to prevent rats fromcoming into your home, Jordan

states that, The rst step in

addressing a rodent problem is

to look for and remove sources

of food and water, [such as

bird feeders and water bowls].

Obvious points of entry into

the home should be sealed if

possible, though house mice can

t through a hole and rats

through a hole, so sealingthe house can be very difcult

to do effectively. If you seal all

food and keep outdoor shrubs

and vegetation to a minimum, it

is less likely that the rats will be

attracted to your house.

The best form of rodent

control is natural control, says

Jordan. Animals on our island

that we may consider a nuisance

such as snakes, owls, hawks

and foxes - all assist in controlling

the rat population. In case you

are not able to seal up every little

crack and crevice in your walls,

though, rats traps are the bestoption for capturing the rats.

There are traps, however, that do

not kill the rat; these are called

live or humane traps. If released

in a timely manner, the rats have

a very good chance of survival.

Kill traps and rodenticides are

a couple of other options, but

watch out for poisons as the

rats are just as likely to die in

the walls of your homes than

anywhere else.It is inevitable that the rats

will visit and that is okay as

long as they stay outside!

Charleston Pirate Tours, a locally-owned downtown tour company

which focuses on the unique historyof pirates in the Charleston area, is nowdonating $1 from every ticket they sell to

BirdLove Avian Sanctuary, a parrot rescuein Columbia, South Carolina. CharlestonPirate Tours and its sister company, IslandParadise Balloon Art, are also donating 5%of the fee for every event at which CaptainBob, the tour companys blue and goldmacaw, appears. Captain Bob was a long-time resident of the sanctuary before hisadoption by tour company owners and Isle ofPalms residents Eric and Sabrina Lavender.

When we adopted Bob, we had no ideathat he was going to become part of the familybusiness, said Sabrina Lavender, but hes anatural entertainer, so we started using him

with balloon twisting events. When we starteddoing pirate tours, Bob was just a natural t.Parrots need lots of interaction, so he reallyenjoys the attention. Hes become sort of an

ambassador for parrot adoption.On a recent trip to the South Carolina

State Museum, the Lavenders and CaptainBob visited BirdLove and found that many ofthe parrots that were at the sanctuary whenthey adopted Bob four years ago were stillawaiting adoption.

It was so sad to see so many birds, whowould be great companions, still there, saidEric Lavender. We know rst-hand the costin time and money that a parrot requires, and

we just felt compelled to do something. Wellalways be indebted to Sanctuary Co-Directors

Jo Gore and Rick McGee for matching usup with Captain Bob. The Lavenders arecurrently making plans to adopt a yellow-

naped Amazon who will begin making tourand event appearances as soon as she isacclimated to her new home and family,

which including a number of other adoptedcompanions from a cat, dog, box turtle andtwo house rabbits.

Rick and I are so grateful to the Lavenderfamily for their generosity and outstandingcare of Bob, says Joe Gore. Bob came toBirdlove because no one could keep him inhis cage ... he is mechanically inclined to saythe least! But Bob has a job now and is readyfor bed in his cage when he gets home fromwork at night. Bob was one of the lucky onesto arrive here. So many had years of abusebehind them, and some of these require a

tremendously committed person or personsto turn them around and these commitmentsoften last many months, if not years. Thesaddest part of it all is that we, humans,have done this damage by not educating

ourselves and learning ahead of time aboutthe wonderful possibilities these beautifulcreatures can offer us.

BirdLoves mission is to foster or adopt outall adoptable birds and to offer permanentsanctuary to birds who are not adoptable dueto behavioral or medical reasons. BirdLovecurrently has 30 avian residents from thesmallest parakeet to the largest Green-

wing Macaw. The monthly nancial cost ofhousing, feeding, and medical care averages$30 per bird. Of course, caring for 30 parrotsalso takes a lot of hands-on work. These birdsrequire interaction and mental stimulation,not to mention the labor involved in preparingmeals and cleaning cages.

For information on donating directly toBirdLove Avian Sanctuary, volunteering,or adoption, please visit www.birdloveaviansanctuary-adoption.org/Charleston Pirate Tours offers walkingtours and storytelling presentations onCharleston history. Island Paradise BalloonArt offers balloon twisting entertainment for events, restaurants, and private parties.You can learn more about Captain Bob atwww.CharlestonPirateTour.com and www.IslandParadiseBalloonArt.com

Most Lowcountry citizens

have been through some

serious storms in their

lifetimes and when hurricane

season rolls around, a palpable

level of anxiety is present;

especially on the barrier islands.

But while the rest of the coastal

community is Saran-wrapping

their valuable documents and

stocking up on canned goods,

surfers are waiting for that

rst storm like a kid waits for

Christmas morning.

As most beachgoers are aware,

Charleston is not exactly the

wave capital of the Southeast,

but when tropical depression

Colin swung by about 800 miles

off of our coast on August 7, it

kicked up some amazing swell.

Waves ranging from chest-high

to the occasional head-highset brought tons of activity out

to the Isle of Palms, Sullivans

Island, and Folly Beach breaks.

Several amateur and professional

photographers with high-

resolution lenses also appeared

along with the surfers, snapping

pictures of surfers hitting the

high waves and occasional

barrels. It was a great change

of pace from the hot, lazy days

of an otherwise sweltering and

uneventful summer.

As tropical depression Colin

began to dissipate on August 8,

our surf began to return to normal,

though many online surng sites

predicted that the effects of the

storm could be seen in the swell

upwards of Wednesday.

Surfers do look forward to swell

generated by storms, but not

hurricanes or storms dangerous

enough to threaten the safety of

residents. One item of concern

is the safety of surfers during

large swells. If the surf is rougher

than normal, surf with a buddy,

wear your leash and dont let the

current drag you too far from

your original position.

As the sun sets on our Holy city ofCharleston, Captain Lee is sitting inthe middle of the Ashley River in a

multi-million dollar neighborhood,enjoying the freedom and solitudethat he could not enjoy as a child.Lee was born in Indianapolis, Indiana, in 1953and was orphaned by the time he was three,bouncing from the foster care of the Hartmanfamily to the Workman family in Spencer,IN, with little hope for a future. He quit highschool in the 10th grade after taking a GEDtest and entered the U.S. Air Force in 1971,serving in Vietnam. In 1972 he was releasedfrom the Air Force and began his journey

across the U.S., arriving in Key West, FL, in1976 and becoming a modern day hippie. Hislove of boats and the free lifestyle he enjoyedhis escape from the uncertain childhood thathad shaped his life. His lifestyle is somewhatpatterned after the beat generation ofthe 1950s which was chronicled by JackKerouacs classic novel, On The Road. NealCassidy, who was characterized as DeanMoriarty in the book, had a similar childhoodto Captain Lee.

In March, 1988, Lee built a 16sloop named Driftwood and setsail for the Chesapeake Bay with his

white shepherd puppy and a hand-heldcompass. As fate would have it, after beingout of sight of land for three days he landed

in Charleston. However, his peace andtranquility didnt last long. Hugo was on its

way and would destroy his precious sloop.After this devastating loss he lived mostlyon the street and in sheds on the Charlestonpeninsula, doing maintenance work onapartments and commercial buildings whichled to him becoming a master carpenter anda jack of all trades.

Since 2000, Lee has lived in amulti-million dollar neighborhoodoverlooking our beautiful city andenjoying its charm from the AshleyRiver and the City Marina. He was

able to purchase a 1972 Columbia26 sloop named Casa Deluxe for $500 andever since he has lived life as stress-free aspossible. He uses solar panels to charge his 12volt batteries which provide electricity for his

TV and other electronic equipment. He heatshis water using solar energy, recycling theice that he purchases daily to cool his beer.His daily budget is as follows: ten dollars forfood, ten dollars for beer, and ten dollars forcigarettes. He has worked for Pooghans Porchfrom 1990 until now and he describes himselfas an independent contractor; independent ofthe pressures of life.

A usual day for Captain Lee starts at 7:30

a.m. when he leaves his beloved boat on thelittle American ag-bearing dinghy he builthimself named Mud Puppy. It is powered byan electric motor that is charged on the CityMarina docks for free and buys a cup of coffeeat the Sea Store. Then he takes the one-and-a-half mile walk to Pooghans Porch for his dailychores, enjoying a couple of non ltered Camel

smokes along the way. After approximatelyhis four- to ve- hour shift its back to the SeaStore for a 12-pack of Budweiser, two packs ofnon-ltered Camels,

a bag of ice and asalad or sandwich, ormaybe a steak for thechar cooker on hisboat.

From the docksback to his belovedboat Casa Deluxegoes Captain Lee.Upon arrival he iceshis beer and stowshis gear before sittingback with his oldiesmusic, lights a goodold unltered Camel

and cracks a cold Budto wet his whistle.

Then he reects on

his life. Upon turning 55 on July 23, 2008, hesays to himself I have been lucky and I dontowe anybody. I am self sufcient and I am

free. How many in our society today wouldtrade for this freedom?

Jason J. Lee is a local writer who lives in

downtown Charleston. He is the author of the

book Running With The Wind. For more info,

Charleston from the Water

Captain Lee, The Mud Puppy and hard timesBY JASON J. LEE

No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the Continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washedaway by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friends or ofthine own were; any mans death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind; And therefore never send toknow for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee. -John Donne, Meditation XVII

worry about the new collaborationwith the Isle of Palms Post Ofce;

residents will still pick up theirpackages at the original recipientzip code and have the samecarriers deliver their mail. Theonly real difference is that the mailcarriers will report elsewhere,but this is actually a seamlessoperation with no real impact forcustomers. The reasons for thechanges lie behind funding issues,

the impact of the recession,increased use of the internet anddecreased volume and revenue inthe lobby. Spratlin explains, We[USPS] have to adjust to the times

when transactions go down in thelobby; and when transactions go

up, hours increase.

On Sunday, September 12, the Cape

Romain National Wildlife Refuge will

offer a tour to Lighthouse Island

where you can view two historic lights. A

slide presentation on the history of the two

lighthouses will be given at the Sewee Visitor

and Environmental Education Center at 9

a.m. Following the presentation, participants

will drive to the McClellanville boat landing

and board the Coastal Expeditions Island Cat

Ferry at 10:30 to travel to Lighthouse Island

where the ferry will leave at approximately 2

p.m. to return to the mainland.

Built in 1827, the conical lighthouse stands

at 65 feet. Its light, powered by a whale oil wick

lamp, was visible from a distance of 14 miles

under the most favorable circumstances. In

1857, a 150 foot octagonal lighthouse was built.

Installed on the 150 foot tower was a prismatic

lens that was visible for approximately 19

miles and dramatically reduced the number

of shipwrecks off the Cape. The 1857 light

was taken out of service in 1947 when coastal

navigation techniques made it obsolete. Both

lights are signifcant maritime landmarks

listed on the National Register of Historic

Places and the 1827 lighthouse is the

oldest of its kind still standing in the

United States.

Lighthouse Island is located in a

National Wilderness Area. Therefore,

there are no facilities or dock on the

island; participants will wade ashore

and walk a dirt path to the lighthouses.

Wear appropriate footwear for water

and pluff mud! Bring insect repellant,

water and snacks and dress for the

weather. Hope to see you aboard!

The transportation fee is $35.00 per person. Boat space is limited to35 passengers. Please reserve your

space with a check made out to CoastalExpeditions.Mail yourcheck to theSewee VisitorCenter,5821 Hwy17 North,Awendaw,SC 29429.

As summer heats up, itis more than just thetemperature that increases

on the islands. The size andvisibility of Nephila clavipes,or golden silk spiders, haveincreased as well. Summer

months are times of rapid growthfor the female spiders; largebodies and large webs are createdto support reproduction and preycapture. The females are vetimes larger than the males andit is these spiders that overwhelmtrail clearings and tree lines.

Golden silk spiders are commonthroughout the southeasternUnited States, but their range

extends south through Argentinaand Peru. This range offers aclimate with high humidity,

which is a plus for spiders. Choicehabitats include areas alongtrail clearings and open spaces,as well as the many island bike

paths and cleared trails.Several smaller males live on

the large nest with their enormousfemale spider and guard herthroughout the summer as shemaintains the web and capturesprey. Grasshoppers, ies andother small insects are commonlycaught, wrapped in a silk casingand consumed. The silk usedto make the web and the prey

casing are thereason for thespiders name,since theyshine goldenin the summersunlight.

The web itselfcan be morethan three feet

wide and isusually foundaround eye-level. The websbright shiningcolor attractsinsects, butits stickinessfades with time,so the femaleconsumesand replaces old silk strandsdaily. This effort is not in vainbecause golden silk spiders are

excellent in prey capture and silkproduction. Furthermore, the silkthread surpasses the strength ofKevlar bullet proof vests, yet isbiodegradable. Current researchfocuses on use of this silk forhuman production and benet

while not exhausting the femaleproducing it. Whether bikingor driving on the islands, these

webs will catch your eye and, while whimsical in appearance,are some of the strongest webs innature.

Natalie Taylor from Charleston Waterkeepers recently visited the

Edgar Allan Poe Library as part of the Charleston County Public

Library Summer Reading program, Make a Splash! Natalie

explained to the children the importance of keeping our waterways

pure and clean, and

how damaging the

effects from the oil

spill in the Gulf willbe to the marshes and

surrounding waterways

of the area. To help

illustrate her talk,

Natalie showed the kids

how to do a wax resist

painting of what they

think it looks like under

the water.

Also as part of the

Make a Splash summer

theme, visitors to the

library were given the

opportunity to make

their very own pet

rock. Utilizing paint,feathers, googly-eyes

and whatever else they

thought would help, the

kids created an amazing

variety of perfect

petrifed pets.

The musical theater of golfBY RICHARD HRICIK

When it comes to the blessings thatare my children, I am hard-pressedto nd anything lacking. They are

separated by only two years of age, almost tothe day, but other than those calendar dates,very little keeps them apart. My girls are eachothers best friend and constant companion,

sharing everything including a bedroomand giggles almost every night before sleep.

They love each other and their parentsand tread lightly on the earth with a mix ofthoughtfulness and naivet that makes meproud to be their father and even prouder oftheir mother.

To me, being a parent does not mean that Iforce them to share in my passions, but it is forme to help them nd theirs, and in turn, helpthem discover what brings them happiness.I derive great joy from activities that involvethe outdoors and athletic competition(translation: golf) but unfortunately, mypassion is not theirs.

I bought them golf hats as soon as theywere born and clubs made of plastic. As theygrew, I bought them a few kids clubs and

even putters. Despite these exposures and atrip or two to the driving range, these items

were regulated to the back of the closet andhave gathered dust over the years.

What is clear is that they nonetheless havepassions, but unfortunately they are passionsthat I knew little about or cared to develop namely musical theatre. In fact, prior to beingmarried, I can honestly say I saw one musicalin my life, and the only reason was to curryfavor with a young lady. Dispassion describednot only my interest in the performance wesaw, but her interest in me as well, and Idecided thereafter to stick to movies.

But my daughters love to dance and sing,not for the audience (there rarely is one otherthan the other parents), not because Momor Dad wants them to (because Mom andDad think kids who perform to be on TV orin movies are soon-to-be-featured in eithera mug shot or rehab facility), but becauseit makes them happy. There is no motive intheir performance and it is never measuredby anything other than the amount of funthey had.

I have embraced what they love and I nowknow the lyrics to many musical numbers.I have attended more performances than Ican count, each with video camera in tow,documenting the genuineness of their smiles.It is my way of joining in since I use mymusical talents as a threat, threatening to

sing if they dont clear their plates or do as Isay. You should see them move.

So a few weeks ago we had our summerfamily vacation in Williamsburg, Virginia. My

wife is our family cruise director and madeall the arrangements. She informed me that

we would be staying at Kingsmill Resort and

gave me the green light to bring my golf clubsalong because she loves me and my passions.Shes a good woman.

She also told me that I should bring thekids clubs along because there is a little par3 course there that maybe we could all playas a family. Shes a really good woman.

I expected the girls to dismiss the idea when we were there because there were so manyother activities to choose from. I also didnt

want to be disappointed so I just resignedmyself to the idea that the only golf on thetrip would be played by me, by myself.

But I was wrong. Happily, joyfully wrong.On the very short and very beautiful 9 holeBray Links Golf Course, my wife, my twodaughters and I teed it up for our rst roundof golf together. The view both from the course

and of my playing partners took my breathaway.

The girls each had a pink ball, balls I hadfound for them long ago, and they dustedthem off and swung from their heels. I helpedthem where needed and they made contactand we moved along. And as we played, theyalso sang and danced in spots, especiallyafter they hit the ball well or it went into thehole.

They brought theirjoy and passion to mygame of golf, and inturn gave me a mostbeautiful gift. Theyplayed golf in thesame way they singand dance, with aninner joy that greatlyexceeds the objectivequality of their play.

My children taughtme that I should bethe one singing anddancing, not just whenmy scorecard is below80, not just after Imake a great shot, butbecause I love them,their mother and thegame of golf.

On a tiny strip

of land on the James River on a summerafternoon, all of the passions of my worldconverged. I am blessed beyond measure.

Until next time, play well.
