The Kiawah Goes Green Initiative has a tall order to fill. Among all the environmental measures the subcommittee is researching – nature, wildlife, marsh, and beaches – they also recently took on the Town’s request for background research on the impacts of gas-powered leaf blowers.
What they found was mind-blowing – or should I say, leaf-blowing. Fran Williams, chair of Kiawah Goes Green, attended the September 9 Kiawah Island Town Council meeting and presented the findings.
She began by comparing the different leaf blowers, specifically the gas-powered two-cycle leaf blowers, electric leaf blowers, and gas-powered four-cycle leaf blowers.
The results she presented showed that although the cost for a gas-powered two-cycle leaf blower was the lowest, this leaf blower emitted the most air pollution, particulate matter, and greenhouse gases, which could lead to respiratory issues. The noise level was also highest with gas-powered two-cycle leaf blowers, which could lead to hearing loss and stress.

eaghan Silsby, executive director for the American Red Cross Lowcountry Chapter, spoke at the Town of Kiawah Island’s Town Council meeting on September 9. Her purpose was to introduce herself and share how the American Red Cross serves the area.
The mission of the American Red Cross is to prevent and alleviate human suffering in the face of emergencies by mobilizing the power of its volunteers and the generosity of its donors.
Silsby said that they are prepared to show up in force when storms wreak havoc across the Lowcountry. They responded to 300 local disasters in 2024, most of which were home fires.
“We partner with local fire departments, who call on us when one of our neighbors experiences a home fire so that we can come to the scene and provide the victims with support,” she said.
According to Silsby, home fires claim nearly seven lives a day in the United States. “Working smoke alarms cut that risk in half,” she said.

OTHERESA STRATFORD
f the many situations to deal with after a major storm rips through an area, one of the most difficult is dealing with the massive amounts of debris that inevitably pile up on the streets. This is why municipalities must have debris sites in place before disaster strikes. These sites act as a staging area for processing debris until it can be hauled off to the county’s main debris management site, which would be the Bees Ferry Landfill.

Debris
Continued from page 1
Kiawah Island’s Town Administrator Stephanie Tillerson briefed the Town Council on plans for debris, should the area need it. After some back and forth, the Town has settled on a few potential sites on Johns Island. Originally, the town was using the land where Andell West will be built. Tillerson said they tried to use the property across the street from Andell West, but that had zoning issues, requiring the town to stop using that site as well.
“We are looking at sites on Johns Island,” Tillerson said. “We are looking at potentially purchasing sites or maybe doing a longterm lease.”
She mentioned that other municipalities work with Charleston County in an intergovernmental agreement that allows them to use the county’s debris sites.
“More than likely, the county has leased properties in unincorporated areas, and if they have to activate those sites, then they can do that and allow municipalities to use them,” she said. “I know there are at least one or two on Johns Island.”
She said the Kiawah Island town attorney has reviewed the agreement with the county for debris pickup and transport to their sites. “We are allowed to pick up our own debris, but we will have to give them a fiveday written notice that we are indeed picking up our own debris. If we do that, we will need our own site to store the debris.”
only using about three to five acres of the Andell West site for debris. Tillerson concluded the segment about debris storage by saying she is going to continue to explore the options and will bring the resolutions back to the council at a future meeting.

Tillerson said that they are fine for this year, but that they would like to find a viable long-term solution by either purchasing property on Johns Island or getting into a long-term lease.

So far in 2025, there haven’t been any major storms to threaten the Lowcountry region. As of September 22, there were three disturbances to watch in the Atlantic Ocean.
Mayor Bradley Belt said, “This is one of those things that you hopefully never have to use, and most seasons you don’t. Generally, having a leased option, which you may not have to pay much for because it’s likely not going to be used, would be the most cost-effective option.”

Leaf-blowing
Continued from page 1
Gas-powered four-cycle leaf blowers were a bit more expensive than the two-cycle leaf blowers but still less than electric leaf blowers. They were, however, the heaviest of the three options to carry. Noise level was considered average, and it emitted fewer pollutants than the two-cycle leaf blower but still more than the electric leaf blower.
Lastly, the electric leaf blower was the most expensive of the three options. However, they were the least expensive to maintain, as long as the batteries do not fail quickly. Electric leaf blowers emitted zero to very minimal pollutants and had the lowest noise level.
Williams showed a slide revealing what municipalities in the country have already taken action against the use of leaf blowers. For example, Greenwich, Connecticut has initiated electric transitions, budgeting $476,000 for equipment and infrastructure. Montgomery County in Maryland offers a rebate of $1,500 to landscapers who transition to electric, and Washington D.C. banned gas-powered leaf blowers altogether in 2022.
Williams also mentioned that electric leaf blowers have become more technologically advanced. “They are more powerful than they used to be, and they are quieter than they used to be, but they still come with some issues. For example, the initial cost to buy one is high. Individual landscape
contractors for homeowners who use electric leaf blowers will charge more for the service,” she said.
The other downfall of an electric leaf blower is that if it dies, you will just have to throw it out and start over. “It’s very difficult to do maintenance on an electric leaf blower, and battery logistics remain a big problem. For general contractors in landscaping, you’ve got to have enough batteries to last you.”
She also pointed out the large area that some contractors cover, making electric leaf blowers a bit of an issue when it comes to recharging.
The Town of Kiawah Island’s landscape contractor uses electric equipment exclusively. Kiawah Island Golf Resort reports that 20% of its landscaping equipment has been converted to electric. However, they have expressed challenges with the durability of the equipment, including batteries. Williams said the resort has recently moved toward four-cycle leaf blowers.
Kiawah Goes Green plans to have the Town of Kiawah Island’s landscape contractor come speak at one of its upcoming meetings so they can share their experience with electric equipment.
“We want to stay abreast of new technologies since they’re changing all the time. What we think needs to happen is an islandwide strategy to convert from gas blowers to electric or four-cycle leaf blowers, and we need to include homeowners
and landscape contractors in that strategy,” she explained.
Williams noted that the landscaper who works on her property told her he wasn’t interested in converting to electric because of the cost of the equipment. “He told me he would then have to increase what he charges for landscaping, and he believes some of his clients would drop him.”
Mayor Bradley Belt expressed that his personal view was that the direction the town should ultimately head in is a ban on the use of gas-powered two-cycle leaf blowers because of the noise pollution and the inefficiency. “There are fewer issues with regard to the gas-powered four-cycle leaf blowers, and we know there are some issues and reservations with the electric ones. We could look at a phased-in prohibition of the gas-powered two-cycle leaf blowers over a six-month period and provide financial incentive for those who adopt the technology.”
The Town will continue to research the options with the Kiawah Goes Green subcommittee to come up with a resolution to the leaf blower dilemma.
Kiawah Goes Green has members on the subcommittee that are representative of all the major entities on the island, including the Town, resort, SouthStreet Partners, and the Kiawah Island Community Association.
Red Cross
Continued from page 1
The American Red Cross installed over 1,000 free smoke alarms in the Lowcountry in 2024 alone. Silsby said that since 2014, this initiative has saved over 140 South Carolina lives. She also mentioned that in 2024, they provided shelter, food, emotional support, and financial assistance to more than 10,000 people across the Lowcountry. “We do this at no cost to those who are affected, thanks to the generosity of our community and volunteers.”
The American Red Cross is also known for its blood services. Silsby said that they are the largest supplier of blood across the country, supplying over 40% of the nation’s blood supply.
They hosted over 200 blood drives and collected more than 24,000 units of life-saving blood in the Lowcountry in 2024.
“Kiawah is a part of that. We continuously run blood drives with the Kiawah Island Golf Resort, and, in 2024, we collected over 71 units of life-saving blood. We are grateful for the town’s partnership in our blood collection efforts.”
Another blood drive is planned for October 8 at the Kiawah Island Golf Resort’s West Beach Conference Room.
The American Red Cross also trains volunteers with life-saving skills. Silsby reported that in 2024, more than 4,000 people across the Lowcountry learned critical skills like CPR, first aid, and AED (a medical device for cardiac arrest) use. They also reached over 200 students through their disaster preparedness programming.

Seabrook Island Artist Guild presents
BY ROD MORRIS
For The Island Connection
Florida artist Karen Weihs worked as a graphic designer and calligrapher after college until finding her passion for oil painting. Using mostly the palette knife, her design sense led her to the quality of pushing landscape work into abstraction. A sought-after teacher, she created her luminous style that led her to be called the “colorist of the South.”
Weihs and other artists opened a successful gallery in Charleston, her birth city, for 17 years. Winning awards, she drew national attention to her painting and joined Southern galleries and attracted serious collectors. Her work is also featured in major collections and museums. A member of The American Women Artists and the prestigious National Salmagundi Club, Weihs continues to enter competitions while working on art commissions and work for clients.
Weihs recently moved from Cashiers, North Carolina to Venice, Florida with her retired restaurateur husband, Chris, to continue their shared interest in playing competitive croquet, often as doubles partners. In Venice, she shows her art and does artistic demonstrations for galleries. She’s also sought-after for in-person workshops and mentoring through mastrius.com, a Canadian academy for aspiring art students. Weihs is also a long-time ambassador for Royal Talens North America’s art products, conducting both video and live demonstrations for their products.
Karen Weihs’ art demo is November 3 at 1:30 p.m. at the Oyster Catcher Community Center, and her workshop is November 4-5 from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. at the Oyster Catcher Community Center. To register for the workshop, please contact Tina Mayland at Tina@TinaMaylandArt.com. The Seabrook Island Artist Guild workshops are open to guild and non-guild members.

Sullivan’s Island Garden Club hosts
BY JOANNE GALLIVAN
Join the Sullivan’s Island Garden Club for an enlightening and inspiring presentation at the Seabrook Island Garden Club’s monthly meeting!
This month, we are honored to welcome Sean Cannon from the Kiawah Conservancy, who will speak about the vital restoration of sweetgrass in our region.
For generations, sweetgrass has been a cornerstone of the Gullah Geechee Community, used for crafting beautiful woven baskets and other traditional goods. Unfortunately, the local sweetgrass supply has been severely impacted by contamination from fertilizers, insecticides, and harsh cutting practices. These factors have made the individual grass strands tougher and more difficult to weave, putting a strain on this vital cultural craft.
Sean, who is working closely with the Gullah Geechee Community, will share his efforts to restore and revitalize the sweetgrass supply to ensure the continuation of this important tradition. Learn about the innovative restoration techniques, the challenges being faced, and how environmental conservation is supporting the cultural heritage of the region.
This is a unique opportunity to hear firsthand about the intersection of environmental preservation and cultural sustainability, and how to preserve these precious resources.

Seabrook’s PageTurners to host special event featuring author Greta Morgan
BY SUE DOSTAL For The Island Connection
What began as a handful of avid readers with a dream—to bring authors to Seabrook to share how they create their stories, characters, and messages—has grown into the group now known as PageTurners. In a community rich with golf, racquet sports, beaches, and dining, PageTurners offers something different: opportunities for Seabrook residents who love literature and conversation to come together, broaden their horizons, and connect through the written word.
Since its founding earlier this year, PageTurners has hosted two author events that sparked lively, thought-provoking discussions. The first featured Michael DeWitt, author of The Fall of the House of Murdaugh (yes, that Murdaugh), which drew more than 200 attendees. Next came Roger Jones, whose book The Final Victory: Shattered Bodies, Broken Dreams, The Race to Win Back Hope offered a glimpse into the world of competitive dragon boat racing. Attendees praised the events as “engaging” and “well-organized,” noting the thoughtful touches, from book-themed centerpieces to delicious meals provided in partnership with the Seabrook Island Club.
PageTurners is a proud recipient of a 2025 grant from the Town of Seabrook Island Community Grant Program. Established in 2021, the grant program funds projects that promote wellness, cultural awareness, and community connection. PageTurners is honored to be part of this vision, and grateful for the mayor and Town Council’s support in bringing another enriching event to our Island.
With the help of this grant to cover associated speaker expenses, PageTurners will host its third and final event of 2025 on October 14, welcoming acclaimed singer, songwriter, and now debut author Greta Morgan for a special evening centered on her memoir The Lost Voice. The book chronicles her deeply personal journey after a rare neurological disorder took away her singing voice, forcing a profound shift in identity. What began as a devastating loss became a powerful transformation. In a recent Forbes interview, Morgan asked: “What can I say with this voice that I couldn’t say with my other voice?”
Her program will combine storytelling, music, and reflection for a moving exploration of resilience, reinvention, and the power of voice in all its forms. Registration for the event is managed through the Seabrook Island Club’s member portal. Non-members are also welcome, space permitting, by emailing PageTurners at seabrookpageturners@gmail.com for registration details.
