E JUST HAVE WONDERFUL PEOPLE WORKINGN ALL OF THE DEPARTMENTS ON THE ISLAND.

THAT’S WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL.”~Leola Hanbury

With so many dedicatedcitizens working andliving upon the Isle of

ms, sometimes it’s nice toback. That’s the mission

Leola Hanbury, former cityncilmember and longtimedent of the island.t the council’s regularting on June 23, Hanburyented an Employee of the

r award of $500 to Johnb” Graham, a local wasteector and fellow Isle of Palmsen.n employee of the city’s publicks department, Graham has

eloped a strong friendship Hanbury over the years,laying his dedication to

ing others and going abovebeyond by directly reportinger door every Tuesday.He’s] representative of

kind of people we are sounate to have running this

city,” Hanbury said.Having frst visited the island

in the mid 1980s, Hanbury wasquick to discover the kindnessof the island’s population.Shortly after moving to the cityand meeting everyone in itsdepartments, she was inspiredby their kind nature.

“I discovered right off the batthat this was a friendly town,”said the former councilwoman.“Everyone in [each] departmentwas wonderful and really nice.”

In addition to serving on thecouncil, Hanbury also took partin a variety of city projects in

getting to know the island. Theseprojects—including participatingin beach cleanups as well

as gettinginvolved withthe city’sgarden club— helped herbecome well-acquaintedwith the city’s

public works department.Hanbury hopes that by

creating the award it will serveas as a morale boost for the

township’s near 100 employees.She would like to see it become

an annual designation.“I’ll fund the award for two

years, but after that you’re on your own,” Hanbury told councilwith a smile.

Having stumbled upon the Isleof Palms nearly thirty years ago,Hanbury has developed a deepfondness for the area, calling ita “piece of good old fashionedAmerica.” Moving here made her

the “luckiest old lady on earth,”she said. Mayor Dick Cronincalled her “part of the heart ofthe island.”

The summer season is here and the daytrippers are performingeverse Normandy invasion of the IOP. For whatever reason city

uncil cannot or will not take any measures to try to control theking problem even a wee bit.

So, my fellow citizens, with tongue rmly in cheek, it is time forresidents of the IOP to take action. Here is all you have to do:

st put stuff in the easement so daytrippers cannot park there.ah, it may be against the law, but is a law really a law if it is neverorced? This calls for a philospher…

The rich guy parking plan would be to put some very niceetation in the easement – just look around and you will see this been done many times. But if you don’t have the funds or thee, just put whatever is available in the easement – a boat trailer,ra cars, garbage cans, yard debris, etc. A number of people havethin berglass poles in their yard about every 6-8 feet and this

ms to work.f all else fails, do what the guy on the 28th block of Palm does:

n your sprinkler in the easement all day! Yeah it is a total wastewater but it seems to work.And just to be clear, this is not going to deny any visitor a dayhe beach. Except for a very few, select busy days, the parking in the front beach area are not full. I do not know of any other

ach community in Florida or California (the two states I am mostmiliar with) that permits unlimited, free parking on all the roadsar the beach.

rmly believe everyone should have access to the beach. After

it is the visitor’s beach just as much as it is ours. But council let this get totally out of control by doing nothing for the pastears except putting up a few wood signs. When trafc on Palmd moves 8 blocks in 30 minutes as it did several weekends ago,have a serious safety problem.f council won’t x this it is up to us to do it. Saddle up, fellowzens!

ewsletter.When she rst arrived on

island, the Isle of Palms’lic Safety building was still

in development, and Dziubanhelped with its overall completionas well as the city’s acquisition ofthe Carmen R. Bunch Park withCounty Greenbelt funds.

In addition to her position asAssistant City Administrator,Dziuban also works as the city’scommunications representative.

As such, she’s responsiblefor most of the island’s pressreleases, social media and othercommunication efforts. Dziuban

won so many awards for herskills and accomplishments incommunications, that the cityeventually withdrew her namefrom consideration in orderto let other South Carolinamunicipalities have a chance ofwinning.

Very appreciative of herassistant’s hard work as well asthe strong friendship and bondthe two formed, Tucker spokeeffusively of Dziuban at heremployee's last council meeting

on June 23.“It’s been eight years and she’stouched so many different facetsof the city,” Tucker said.

At the same meeting MayorDick Cronin rewarded her with akey to the city, encouraging herto “come back at any time.”

Dziuban has a Master of Artsfrom the University of Tennesseein Knoxville and a Master of FineArts in Fiction Writing from theUniversity of New Orleans inaddition to her Bachelor of Artsfrom Winthrop. She credits hereducation and intensive timespent in grad school for helpinghone her craft of writing, a skillwhich came in very handy in herroles as website coordinator andAssistant City Administrator.

“When I rst came here, Ihad not done this [type of] workbefore,” Dziuban says. “I’d neverworked for city government sothe writing really helped.”

After completing graduateschool, Dziuban taught at theUniversity of Tennessee’s English

department for nine years as wellas serving as interim directorof the University’s WritingCenter, whilst also editing acreative anthology, "Migrantsand Stowaways: An Anthologyof Journeys for the KnoxvilleWriters’ Guild" with fellow editorKristin Robertson.

Since being in the Isle ofPalms, she’s since written forCharleston-based publicationsincluding Beau Magazine.

Having had a long and very

successful tenure working for theIsle of Palms, Dziuban now plansto return to her home of Orlando,Florida, which she left at the ageof 18.

Living so far away for such along time, she has nally felt thestrong call of home, and with herbrother’s impending deploymentas an air force reservist, plans tofocus primarily on spending timewith her family.

“I love the people I work with,”Emily adds, “but I want to liveclose to my family.”

In addressing both hercolleagues as well as the citizensof Isle of Palms, Dziuban leavesher position thankful of all of herco-workers and peers.

“I denitely owe them a bigthank you [as] it’s really has beena pleasure,” Dziuban says. “I’veseen many different situationsthat have challenged me, so I’mgrateful to everyone.”

on the FourthWILD DUNES' WATERMELON CONTEST A JUICY AFFAIR

Saturday, July 4 Wild Dunes played host to awide variety of fun Fourth events, includinga Watermelon Eating Spectacular at Palm

ove pool. All ages were welcome to stuffheir faces with the juicy fruit through nineeats, which produced nine competitorsr the grand, squishy nale.

Roman Orsinelli goes against an impressive line-up.een shows how it’s done.

The competition was ferce.

On Friday, July 4 Sullivan’s Island andIsle of Palms hosted their annual tributeto 239 years of American independence

with two unique Independence Day golf cartand bicycle parades. A summer staple forresidents of the islands, Sullivan’s has hostedthe parade since 2004, while the Isle of Palmsaffair celebrated its 25th anniversary this year.

“It’s a good opportunity for [residents] tomingle, and to have a good time,” said AndyBenke, Sullivan’s Island Town Administrator.

Over on the Isle of Palms, while the cartsweren’t decorated quite as enthusiastically ason Sullivan’s, the parade was much bigger,with the added benet of candy.

“Everyone was throwing candy. For a kid it

was better than Halloween,” said Island EyeNews photographer Steve Rosamilia. “My sonhad so much candy he couldn’t hold it all.”

The IOP parade also included classic carssuch as a vintage Thunderbird and a 1965mustang convertible, as well as some jeeps andpickup trucks decorated in festive colors.

Over 300 bikes and golf carts participated inthe Sullivan’s parade, which wrapped its wayaround the neighborhood while bystanderswaved from the sidelines.

“The Independence Day Golf Cart and BikeParade has become a real Island tradition,and this year’s was the best and biggest ever!”Patrick O’Neil, Mayor of Sullivan’s, said. “Ourcommunity really gets into the spirit of theevent, and the decorations get better every year.

“It’s so appropriate that our parade landsnext to Fort Moultrie, site of the Battle ofSullivan’s Island on June 28, 1776, the rstsignicant American victory over British seaand land forces in the costly war that gainedthe freedom we celebrate on Independence

Day,” he continued. The parade has become a unique outlet forresidents’ creativity, with a plethora of inventiveand imaginatively decorated carts. Members ofthe town council crowned three winners:

• The winner of the parade’s ‘Most Patriotic’award displayed a sign that read, ‘HappyBirthday America’ in large multi-coloredlettering with a huge cake on top and itsriders equipped with birthday hats andballoons.

• Another innovative golf cart and winner of ‘Best All-Around’ oat was a tribute to theisland, with a large model of the Sullivan’sIsland lighthouse hoisted on top.

• Lastly there was a unique ‘60s hippie-themed ‘peace train’ cart, with its creators,the Easton family, taking home the prize for“Most Creative,” an award they’ve won forthe past four years.

With residents of all ages participating inand spectating on both parades, the tight-knitnature of our island communities was on fulldisplay.

Confusion spread quicklyacross Isle of PalmsWednesday, July 8 when

a bomb threat was reported atpopular bar and restaurant, TheWindjammer located at 1008Ocean Boulevard.

Around 2:46 p.m. Isle of PalmsPolice Department was notied bydispatch that an unknown callerhad reported a bomb within TheWindjammer building. The island’spolice and re departments, aswell as beach safety ofcers, werequick to respond to the scene.

Everyone inside of both TheWindjammer and The Seaside Inn,as well surrounding condos, wereswiftly evacuated and told to waituntil the buildings were deemedsafe.

With the public safety building

just a stone’s throw away,retrucks and police cars soonblocked off the vicinity—includingparts of J.C. Long Boulevard andOcean Boulevard.

Authorities, were quick to put aplan in place as they worked withthe Charleston County Sheriff'sDepartment and the Bomb Squadto clear the area within a couplehours, letting the evacuees citizensreturn to the Windjammer andsurrounding areas. No arrests

were made at the scene.“Our ofcers responded very

quickly,” Captain Usry, of the IOPpolice department, said. “[They]were able to evacuate the area ina very safe and efcient manner.”

Rumors of an active shooter orsniper in the area swirled on the

ground around the WIndjammerduring the incident, but thesereports proved to false, only thebomb threat was mentioned by thecaller. The identity of the caller isstill unknown, and the police areworking to track him down.

Though no bomb was found,the speedy and well-organizedresponse of the Isle of Palms’authorities was an encouragingsign of the island's preparednessfor emergencies.

A

lot has been said andwritten recently aboutplastic bags and their

imental effects on wildlife.it is important to know thatonly adult sea turtles can bemed by them. Young turtlesbeginning to hatch on the

th Carolina Coast and thend Turtle Team is expecting

rst hatchlings to emergeard the end of this month.are close to thirty nests onIsle of Palms and Sullivan’s

nd combined.hen these young turtlese their way to the ocean fromr nests in the dune, thereso many dangers they face.e of these are holes left by

chgoers, beach furniture leftafter dark, predators, and-disorientation. If they makest these obstacles, they swim

several days until they reach

Gulf Stream and if fortunate,nd the oating rafts ofassum seaweed drifting

northward off our coast. Thisprovides shelter for them and achance to rest and recuperatefrom several days of instinctive

frenziedswimming.

They havean internalfood supply intheir yolk sac,a remnant ofthe nourishingfood supply

in their egg. But when this is

absorbed, they have to begin tond food to survive. Instinctivelythey begin to feed on whatever

they can nd and do not know thedifference between small pieces ofplastic and their natural prey.

A recent publication by NikiaRice in collaboration with BlairWitherington of the Archie CarrCenter for Sea Turtle Researchat the University of Florida,studied the stomach contentsof sea turtles only a few monthsold that had been washed backonto the shore and were alreadydead or near death. There wereshocking results in the gut

contents of the 380 turtles in thestudy--including loggerheads andgreen sea turtles along with onehawksbill turtle.

“45.5 percent had tar ingestionand 78.8 percent had plasticingestion. Both micro-plastics

(<5mm in diameter) and largerpieces of meso-plastics werefound inside their guts.”

The researchers characterizedthe plastics, which keep breakingdown into smaller and smaller bitsas they oat in the ocean, by color(mostly white) and type (mostlypolyethylene). Polyethylene isthe kind in household plasticproducts such as food and drinkpackaging, including single useplastic bags and bottles.

The conclusion drawn by thisscientic study was:

“We must understand thateverything is connected innature, even us. We concludedthat these post-hatchlings areingesting plastics immediatelyupon rst feeding. The evidencepoints to plastics ingestion as amajor source of mortality in post-hatchling sea turtles."

So, even though the Isle ofPalms has banned the use ofmany single use plastic bags, itis important that we be as carefulas possible to pick up the oneswe nd on the beach and try tokeep them out of the coastal

environment because they canharm or even cause death in birdsand marine mammals as well.

COMPUTER CORNER

'UPDATES' FOR WINDOWS 10 WILL BE INSTALLED

WITHOUT YOU HAVING A CHOICE AND WILL INCLUDE THE

'IMPORTANT' UPDATES AS WELL AS 'RECOMMENDED,' AND

OTHER UPDATES THAT MICROSOFT DEEMS YOU NEED.

July 29 is the date for the"new, improved best everOS" from Microsoft /

dows. Ask them and they will

you this, over and over andr. Makes you all warm andy doesn't it?ve been watching, reading,ing it and all in all it is mucher than 8/8.1 but that's notng much. Windows wants toso far away from the 8 seriesthey jumped 9 and went right

0 and overall I think it's goinge OK to buy a new computer

h this operating system (OS).I be upgrading my Windows

ptop/desktop anytime soon?ee months ago I was on thedwagon to upgrade after a

ple of months of the productng out, two months ago Istill there but a bit more

tious. Today with some of thews as to what 10 will do in thekground I am a bit hesitate torade an existing computer.you own a computer thatWindows 7 Home OS (or

.1), which would be mostbought several years ago,

then upgrading to 10 home willdisable your choice as to whatcan be updated by Microsoft(Windows). What does that

mean? With 10, the "updates"for 10 will be installed without you having a choice and willinclude the "important" updatesas well as "recommended" andother updates that Microsoftdeems you need. The "deems you need" part can include adsfor new Windows products, trialapps that after a period wouldrequire you to purchase, ads for3rd party vendors, etc. It couldinstall updates for a product that you do not want updated, forexample a game that you play andlike the way the layout is, then

suddenly you open it and it lookscompletely different because ithas been updated overnight. This"beneft" is to help you keep upto date and since you are not a"PRO" user you need all the help you can get, right?

Which leads to what to do if youhave Windows 7/8/8.1 Pro, thenupgrading to 10 Pro allows you toopt out of the updates and receive

only what you want, includingdeclining anything other than"important" updates. If youhave the Home version you can

upgrade to Pro prior to doingthe free upgrade to 10 and youwill end with 10 Pro. There is anoption to upgrade to 10 Pro at thetime of upgrading from home aswell but it's a bit murky how thatworks and costs just under $100.

The other bit of news thatseems to be hiding right in plainview is the collection of "userdata." Hopefully all have heard ofanonymized (anonymous) data,which is data about general use ofproducts sent to manufacturersto help in product improvement…which sounds like a load of

hogwash to me! Several websitesare reporting that 10 has the"capability to track and logkeystrokes, capture voice dataand more." Does the term "bigbrother" come to mind? Othersites say this is nothing new asthe capture of anonymized datahas been going on for a whileand who cares anyway? It seemsthat in today's world the capture

of your most private thoughtsthrough the keystrokes on yourcomputer or what you might sayto your loved one in the privacy of

your home is "no big deal."In reality, I think most of these

problems will be addressed oncethe product is released to thegeneral public and Windows getssome serious user feedback. iOS,Android, OS10 for Mac have allreceived comments and slamsabout user data and anonymousdata collection, most have addedtools to limit the collection of thatdata. iOS for iPads and iPhoneshave opt-out options for datacollection and advertising underprivacy in settings, Android is abit harder to fnd and does not

limit as much but at least theyare there. My hope is the samewill happen with 10, it maybe an opt-out option which Iwill happily share here when itbecomes available.

As always if you have questionsor need help you can call or emailme, Rent A Bob at 843.822.7794or email at [email protected].

S

tarting on Monday, July 6, the Isle of Palms RecreationCenter was lled with the noise of the serve. Almost 20 girlsranging in ages from 11-15 lled the IOP Rec Center to attend

the volleyball camp of Alexis Glover, long-time Wando High Schoolvolleyball coach.

Glover, with over 30 years of experience as a volleyball coachand as a player for the University of South Carolina, has instructedcamps on Isle of Palms for 15 years. Coach Glover was assistedby some of the players from the 2014 4A State Champion Wandovolleyball team.

During the camp, Coach Glover and her assistants emphasizedthe skills of volleyball to everyone. For beginners, Glover emphasizedthe basic skills: "Passing, setting, serving, and spiking." For moreexperienced players, Coach Glover wants them to assess theirskills to be used later in competition.

The camp began with the basic skills, followed by more servingand serve receive plays, then the camp broke into small side games. To close the week, the campers will nish in full 6 on 6 competition.

Coach Glover encourages players not to specialize in the sport,

but to try other sports along with volleyball, as it helps prepareplayers for the demanding season. Glover says volleyball is a greatsport for everyone, and that the sport has grown for the past several years with the Olympics and the growth of beach volleyball in thearea, especially on the islands.

Most high school players start in the fth grade, like sophomoresetter Emily Rapach. Rapach previously attended the camp on Isleof Palms for ve years, from after her 5th grade year to before her9th grade year.

Rapach's favorite thing about playing volleyball is that "beinga team sport [makes it] really fun." She says that the camp hashelped her to get playing time and to prepare her for the upcomingseason.

Kaleb Jenness, a sophomore, is the team's manager. He comesto practice every day and helps the team prepare for upcominggames. Jenness has played volleyball since he was in the fourthgrade. His favorite part about assisting is that "indoor players don'tusually get to touch the ball during the summer." There is lots ofcommitment involved in Jenness's job.

Wando begins their season with practice August 1, and therst regular season game will be September 1 against Waccamaw.During the summer though, they have prepared by scrimmagingBishop England and Porter-Gaud informally. The Warriors returnnine players from last year's state championship team as theyprepare to defend their title.

On June 22nd, the SC Aquariumhosted a seining event at Station 19on Sullivan’s Island. South Carolina

arium members ages 2-10 and theirents had a fantastic time nding andning about sea creatures. In just an houra half they dragged the seine net throughwater numerous times and caught scoresAtlantic Silversides, anchovies and atery creature no one could identify.hey used an 11-foot seine net with veryll holes, so they could catch as much as

possible. The older children held one polewhile an aquarium staff member held theother side. After they had studied the animalsthoroughly, the creatures were released backinto the water.

Most of the treasures they found, though,were on the beach, including moon snails,lots of knobbed whelk shells, hermit crabs,a at claw crab, jellysh and even a smallshark. The children learned how a moonsnail could dig a unique looking hole, drillperfect holes through shells and sometimes

even eat each other! The main focus of theseining event was for the children to have funand an educational experience.

Aquarium staff also led a game called“PARTS,” where each child was asked to ndplants, animals, rocks, trash and shells onthe beach and put them in different hula-hoops. Everyone was happy and went homeexcited for the next two seining events thissummer, scheduled for July 21 on FollyBeach and August 4 on Daniel Island.

s that time of year when many of us hit the road for a summeracation. If you are fortunate, you will be joining them — after all,all work and no play” is a difcult way to live. But while you maythink it benecial to work all the time, the same can’t be said of

investments and your investment strategy — because, ideally,

should never stop laboring on your behalf.

w can you avoid “taking a vacation” as an investor? Here arew ideas:Don’t let your portfolio get “lazy.” Laziness is ne for vacations,but it’s not so great for an investment portfolio. When you invest,it can be easy to let things drift along and stay the same as they’vealways been. But over time, things can change: Your goals canchange somewhat, your family situation can certainly change andeven your investments themselves may change. That’s why it’simportant to review your portfolio and your investment choicesregularly, possibly with the help of a nancial professional. Youmay not need to make drastic changes, but even modest-seemingadjustments may make a big difference down the road.Don’t choose an investment mix that just “sits around.” If youwere to put all your investment dollars in conservative vehicles,

such as certicates of deposit (CDs), your principal would likelynot experience much volatility — which is good. But your moneyalmost certainly would not have the growth potential to help youreach your long-term goals — which is not so good. That’s whyyou will need to own some investments, such as stocks and stock-based instruments, that offer growth potential. It’s true theseinvestments will uctuate in value, and there’s no guarantee youwon’t lose money on them. You can help address this risk byfocusing on the long term and by creating an investment mix thatis suitable for your situation.Don’t become a “spend-happy” investor. It can be pretty easy tospend more on vacations than you had planned. For some reason,perhaps the carefree nature of a vacation, the act of spendingmoney seems less grounded in reality — until you get home andsee the bills. As an investor, you can also get carried away withyour transactions — and it can cost you. To be specic, if youare constantly buying and selling investments, you’ll be making

it harder for yourself to follow a unied, long-term investmentstrategy. As mentioned, you will need to make changes as needed,over time, to your portfolio, but making moves such as chasing

after “hot” investments, or giving up on other investments after onebad period, will likely not benet you and could prove detrimentalto your progress.

As someone who spends most of your life working, you may verymuch appreciate your vacations. But as someone trying to achieve

important nancial goals, such as a comfortable retirement, youshouldn’t take a “vacation” from investing — and you shouldn’t let your investments take one, either. As you know from your career and your other activities, making a consistent effort may pay off — and it’sthe same with investing.

A12 year-old boy suffered ashark bite Tuesday, June 30at Isle of Palms County Park.

rding to IOP Fire Chief Anneham, the boy was in the ocean

the pier when he was bittenthe backside on his leg.

he injury was not life

atening,” Graham told IslandNews. “He was treated one by the Fire Department anduards from the County Park,did a wonderful job. He wasle enough to where the familyse to drive him to seek furtherical treatment.”raham said they were toldthe shark was between fourve feet-long.

We are disheartened that ad was bitten by a shark thisk at Isle of Palms County Park,"the Charleston County Parksice in a statement following

incident. "Shark sightings inocean surrounding the countyare generally uncommon, and

shark bites at our beach parks areextremely rare. Prior to this week,the last shark bite at Isle of PalmsCounty Park occurred in 2007 just outside the park swimmingarea; that patient also sufferedminor injuries and was released."

The Parks service went on toremind beach-goers that, as withany natural environment, theAtlantic Ocean is home to manycreatures, including sharks.According to the United StatesLifeguard Association, 70 to 100shark attacks happen worldwideeach year. However, only 6 shark

attack fatalities have taken placein the U.S. since 2010. The odds

of being killed by reworks ordrowning in the ocean are muchhigher than the odds of being thevictim of a shark-related fatality (1in 3.75 million).

The shark bite incidentextended another busy weekendfor the re department, which hada record-busting 25 calls this pastMemorial Day weekend.

“We had 12 calls yesterday,one of them involved a personswimming in the ocean at 3 a.m.,”Graham said. “It’s been prettybusy and it seems like it’s notgoing to slow down.”

The IOP re department hasbeen getting assistance from

a Charleston County quickresponse vehicle, a small SUVoperated by a paramedic thatstages on the islands duringbusy periods, specically over theweekends. The QRV covers bothIOP and Sullivan’s Island, whenit’s available.

“If they have a life-threateningcall in Mount Pleasant they’ll gothere,” Graham said.

The City of IOP has requestedthat the County provide anambulance to the islands duringthe summer–an ambulance cantransport patients to nearbyhospitals, a QRV cannot–but therehas not been conrmation as towhether this request has beenapproved yet.

“Our data proves Friday throughMonday are the busiest here.[The addition of 3 new reghtingpositions] has helped immensely,”

Graham said. “But we still haveto bring in additional staff on theweekends.”

Tips for avoiding sharks

Swim in groups; avoid the water at dawn, dusk or nighttime;don't enter the water if bleeding; avoid wearing shiny jewelry orbright clothing; and use extra care near sandbars, drop-offs, faraway from shore, and waters that are being shed or contain baitshes. Many attacks appear to happen when people are mistakenby the shark for their normal food, sh.

1939, in the backwoods of Holly Hill, South Carolina, "Big Joe"essinger traded a cow and a mule for a diner in the Lowcountry,om which he would serve South Carolina barbecue featuring histard-based barbecue sauce. He called his restaurant the HollyCafe. The originator of the now famous mustard-based sauce, Bigkept his recipe close to the vest, sharing it only with his children.ued with a love of barbecue, six of his eight sons went into theecue business, and the Bessinger name became forever associatedthat iconic South Carolina barbecue style.

ne of those sons was named Melvin, who returned from World Warhelp with the family barbecue business, before eventually attendingCitadel, and making the decision to open a barbecue restaurant of

own. He opened it down in Charleston in 1961, and called it Melvin'sie Park Drive-In. Since then, Melvin's has been a local institution,

wned as much for its barbecue as it is for its huge, donut-like onions and its juicy cheeseburgers, once named Best Cheeseburger incountry by Emeril Lagasse. Luckily for those who don't live in therleston area, Melvin's now bottles and sells their entire range ofces, as well as the mix they use for those sinfully delicious onions. I like my barbecue with a kick, so my personal favorite is they Original, which gets its warm heat from hot habanero peppers.se are perfect items to pick up for a backyard barbecue this summer.
