Yacht club becoming world title destination for kids, families

By Tim Wood CONTRIBUTOR

The South Carolina Yacht Club has long been respected locally for their mastery of Lowcountry waters and for teaching both young and old how to better navigate and appreciate the sport of yachting. Now, the club is gaining worldwide acclaim after a world-championship summer.

The club’s 2022 summer youth training program had 275 participants this year, fielded four race teams that traveled from the local Atlantic waters to the Mediterranean and Aegean Seas of Europe, and took home one national title and two world championships – an unprecedented feat for any club.

“It has been a stellar year, for sure.

We are so proud of the work these kids and young adults put in,” said SCYC Yachting Director Mark Newman. “They have shown that if you put in the work, incredible things can happen.”

According to SCYC booster Lee Lucier, the club has long been a strong competitor in Southeast competitions, but club officials made a commitment eight years ago to expand the program by bringing in Newman to helm the effort.

“It has been a transformation that we are so proud to see. Mark has continually improved the depth of this program, and we’re so thankful to the time and energy

that these kids and their families have dedicated,” Lucier said. “This was a new high for us this summer and we’re excited to keep building the program.”

The summer program is nearly 300 strong – a tenfold growth since 2014 ¬– and has become a destination for kids nationwide to take their skills to a world-championship caliber level.

James Pine is the latest example of that strength. The 14-year-old grew up in Texas and Charleston before his family moved to the island during COVID. In his third year with SCYC, Pine led a four-person team to a world title at the Optimist World Championship in Bodrum, Turkey, on June 28. He also finished second in individual fleet racing, losing the overall title on tiebreak points.

More than 120 boats and 530 sailors from across the world competed in the Worlds. The “Opti” is a class of small, single-handed fiberglass boats for youth sailors ages 8 to 15, and is the most popular youth racing class in the world with more than 150,000 registered boats.

“James is a truly special talent. He has a commitment and a work ethic that’s second to none,” Newman said of Pine. “He gets up and wants to be in a boat every day. And every time he gets in a boat, it’s a race. He’s always working to improve.”

Pine went from regional and national dominance to putting himself on the

world title radar this summer. Lucier and Newman said Pine is now seen as a strong U.S. Olympic team hopeful for the 2028 Summer Games.

He was also part of a national championship in August when his crew won the United States Optimist Dinghy Association (OSODA) national team race championship in Hampton, Virginia.

James Thurlow, a SCYC home-grown talent, won the club’s second world title just weeks after the first. He and fellow SCYC sailor Michael McCorkendale of Team Fortitude took home the J/24 sanctioned junior boat title at the J/24 World Championship in Corpus Christi, Texas.

The SCYC Elite sailing team also achieved a first of its kind, sending nine

ILCA (International Laser Class Association) single-handed race dinghy sailors to the world championship this year. ILCA 4 sailors Bella Duer, Louise Martin and River Keyser went to Portugal to compete in the largest ILCA 4 world championship in history. More than 530 boats competed over five days of racing.

The club also will send racers to nationals in Houston and Michigan this summer. Will Rucker and Reed McAllister finished seventh and eighth place respectively out of 22 competitors at the U.S. Sailing Chubb Single Hand Championship at the Macatawa Bay Yacht Club in Michigan.

SUNNY SIDE UP

Need to be refreshed? Next time it rains, go jump in a puddle!

By Lynne Cope Hummell EDITOR

There’s something comforting about a good ol’ Southern rainstorm, isn’t there? We just made it through August in the Lowcountry, and I am feeling quite comforted at this point!

If you feel an affinity for rain, you’ll understand. If you’re a pet owner, you might not share my enthusiasm. I get it. But I’m not talking about threatening thunderstorms with lightning everywhere.

I’m talking about those long, steady summer rains that continue for hours, making the world a brilliant green and bringing down the outdoor temperature a few degrees.

These might be gully washers that leave your front yard with a new wading pond near the driveway – the ones that wash your car no matter how dirty it is.

These are the storms that emerge from those ginormous blobs on the radar that are

green, yellow and red in order of intensity.

I enjoy it when the green blob covers the Southeastern seaboard, because that means the rain will last for a while.

Time to settle into a comfy chair with a good book. There has been a lot of chair settling this season, hasn’t there?

Heavy showers are great when one is safely at home but being outside is another issue. To gather information for an article, I recently met with a group of ladies on the covered deck at a local restaurant. It had been cloudy that day, but no one was anticipating the deluge we got.

About 15 minutes after we were seated, the skies opened up, lightning flashed, thunder crashed and we could barely hear one another for the next 20 minutes! It was great, and just a bit scary.

Weather has always been an easy topic for conversation, but recently the rain has been relegated to variations on a single snippet: “What’s with all this RAIN?” I saw a social media post last week from

a Lowcountry newcomer: “Is this normal?!”

Yes, my new friend – it is. Welcome!

Not only does rain occupy our conversations now, it occupies the sound waves.

Have you ever considered how many songs have been written about rain? The first few I thought about are sad and negative.

The most well-known sad rain song, perhaps, is Karen Carpenter’s soulful 1971 rendition of Paul Williams’ “Rainy Days and Mondays.” I just reread the lyrics and I feel bad for anyone who feels that sad.

I just don’t equate rain with sadness. To the contrary, rain is glorious! Rain nourishes living things in nature – it brings plants back to life! It freshens up lakes, rivers and oceans with its liquid bounty. It feeds critters.

Rain is vital to the world’s farmers. Just ask my friends in Illinois who farm 1,800 acres of corn, wheat and soybeans. Can we here in the lush coastal plain imagine betting your year’s income on how much rain falls – or doesn’t –on your crops?

There are some happy rain songs too.

The 1969 film “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” featured a nice little ditty

by Burt Bacharach and Hal David titled “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Head.” B.J. Thomas recorded it expressly for the movie.

This rain song is a little more positive, describing someone who sees beyond the rain, doesn’t complain about it, and feels free because of it.

While the most famous of all rain songs is probably Prince’s “Purple Rain,” the most joyful has to be “Singin’ in the Rain,” danced and sung so beautifully by the inimitable Gene Kelly in the cinematic classic scene.

“What a glorious feeling – I’m happy again!”

That’s the exuberance I feel for rain!

When I was a kid, I loved splashing in the puddles – especially in the summer when I was barefoot. I am grateful for parents who allowed us to play in the rain and otherwise get dirty playing outside.

Next time a rainstorm rolls in, if you’re so inclined, wouldn’t it be fun to kick off your shoes and head outside?

CONTRIBUTOR

I’ve been in public service for 21 years on Hilton Head Island. One of my greatest privileges has been serving as your mayor and helping to steer our course of action on numerous issues.

Since I took office four years ago, we’ve dealt with multiple hurricane threats. We’ve had a pandemic that gripped the world and disrupted business, schools, and our personal lives.

We’re still wrestling with the William Hilton Parkway corridor project, but I hope it will come together soon for the betterment of our community.

On the upside, we’ve remained a top destination for visitors. We passed a comprehensive plan that set the vision and values for our community. We adopted a strategic plan with 65 initiatives aimed at protecting our environment, managing growth, and providing quality of life offerings.

My term as mayor ends in a few months, and there’s now an opportunity for new leadership. Four candidates are running for mayor and another six are seeking to represent wards 2, 4 and 5. Whomever is elected

will bring new ideas and new solutions.

This is where you come in – helping to decide who our next leaders will be. I encourage you to: • Register to vote. The upcoming election is Nov. 8. Early voting is Oct. 24 to Nov. 5. To participate, South Carolina law requires that you be registered to vote at least 30 days prior to the election, including the early voting date.

To be eligible to register in South Carolina, you must be a United States citizen, be at least 18 years old on or before the next election and be a resident this state, this county and precinct.

• Know your ward and precinct. Earlier this year, the town underwent redistricting based on federal census data. Ward boundary lines were updated as part of this decennial process that determined which neighborhoods are grouped into wards and ensured each town council member represents about the same number of constituents.

Some ward lines shifted, which means you might have a different town council representative than before. You can search for your ward by entering your street address into an interactive map on the town’s website

at hiltonheadislandsc.gov/redistricting.

Search results will identify both your ward and town council representative.

If you are a registered voter and your ward has changed, and you have not received an updated voter registration card, contact the Beaufort County Board of Voter Registration and Elections at 843-255-6900.

• Learn where candidates stand on issues impacting our Town. There are several important issues ahead of us – workforce and affordable housing, the corridor project, the bridges coming to the island, short-term rentals, beach parking, park projects and more.

Candidates are sharing opinions across social media and speaking at events. Make time to attend meetings where they are making appearances. Listen, learn, and ask questions so you can make informed decisions when choosing our next mayor and town council members.

Those who are elected will serve our Island for the next four years, beginning Dec. 6.

John McCann is the mayor of the Town of Hilton Head Island. JohnM@hiltonheadislandsc.gov

Letters to the Editor To the Editor: I’m in Michigan this month, and only yesterday received a copy of the Aug. 3 Hilton Head Sun. So while this response is less than timely, I want to express appreciation to the Sun and Gwyneth Saunders for the thoroughly excellent article on affordable housing in southern Beaufort County.

It conveyed a depth of understanding, range and fact beyond what I’d previously read in various publications. It struck me as fair and highly important. And well-written/ edited.

Alex Cruden Hilton Head Island To the Editor: We’ve all seen the tragic headlines, including many here in South Carolina – children find their parents’ unsecured firearms and

accidentally discharge them, injuring or killing themselves, their siblings, or their friends. Approximately 4.6 million American children live in homes with guns that are both loaded and unlocked, and every year, 350 children ages 17 and under gain access to a firearm and unintentionally shoot themselves or someone else.

We have the power to prevent tragedies like these from happening. The Be SMART campaign seeks to help parents and other adults take responsible action to help prevent gun injuries and deaths.

Secure all guns in your home and vehicles; store your firearms unloaded, locked, and separate from ammunition.

Model responsible behavior around guns.

It’s the adult’s responsibility to keep children safe. Always assume that curious kids may find and touch an unsecured gun, even if

they’ve been told not to. Be sure your firearm is safely secured so that children cannot access it.

Ask about the presence of unsecured guns in other homes. Before a playdate, ask the other child’s parent if they own firearms, and if so, whether they are securely stored in a locked gun safe.

Recognize the role of guns in suicide: Every year, nearly 700 children 17 and under die by suicide with a gun. Locking your firearm in a gun safe is a simple way to prevent potential tragedy.

Tell your friends to Be SMART and visit besmartforkids.org.

State’s roads and bridges have our attention, funding

By Jeff Bradley CONTRIBUTOR

In recent speaking opportunities this summer, I have had the pleasure of talking a lot about bridges and roads that are important for more ways than you might imagine, not only locally but all across our state.

As I have noted before on these pages, we legislators in the Jeff Bradley South Carolina General Assembly this past session greatly enjoyed approving an unprecedented amount of money to fund projects over the next several years to upgrade our state infrastructure.

These include highway projects, new bridge construction, broadband development and port expansion.

Small and large cities here along the resort coast, as well as farming communities deep into the rural regions that stretch across the mid-section of our state, will all benefit.

This largesse has been due not only to the population growth of South Carolina over the past decade, but also our booming economy and the big boost of one-time federal stimulus dollars.

Our state plan, which went into effect this summer, calls for approximately $1 billion in new spending on roads that includes the widening of approximately 33 miles of I-95 here in the Lowcountry, and 70 miles of I-26 from Columbia to Charleston. According to SCDOT projections, the new funding should cut the time that was expected to be spent on highway construction from more than 15 years to just seven or eight years.

Additionally, $250 million will be allocated to the 46 county transporta-

tion groups for paving local secondary roads.

Funding rural roadways not only has economic benefits, but it will make these roadways much safer. I often drive backroads when I travel to and from Columbia during our legislative sessions, and I can tell you firsthand that potholes and unsafe bridges are quite common. And most of these roads have no shoulders or breakdown lanes.

TRIP, a national safety transportation research nonprofit organization, reported in 2020 that “South Carolina has the highest rate of rural traffic fatalities and significant rural road and bridge deficiencies in the nation.”

Today, good roads have become an economic development concern because farm to market roads are increasingly important for delivering products to our restaurants and supermarkets.

Because our state has such productive farmland and timberland, improvement

of our roads and bridges is now seen as an important factor for improving our global exports and economy.

Most don’t realize that timber is the agribusiness that generates the highest annual revenue in South Carolina. It is the No. 1 export by volume out of the Port of Charleston. Other SC products like soybeans, corn and peanuts are in demand worldwide. And, with deep water ports in both Charleston and Savannah we are in a prime position to help meet global needs for food and humanitarian assistance.

I’m grateful this new funding will greatly improve our ability to move South Carolina farm products around the world while creating jobs and modernizing our state in smart, sustainable ways.

Jeff Bradley is the representative for District 123 in the State House of Representatives.

Why You May Want To Start Your Home Search Today If you’re thinking about buying a home, you likely have a lot of factors on your mind.

You’re weighing your own needs against higher mortgage rates, today’s home prices, and more to try to decide if you want to jump into the market. While some buyers may wait things out, here’s a reason serious buyers are making moves right now, and that’s the growing number of homes for sale.

So far this year, housing inventory has been increasing and that’s making the prospect of finding your dream home less difficult. While there are always reasons you could delay making a big decision, there are also always reasons to consider moving forward. And having a growing number of options for your home search may be exactly what you needed to feel more confident in making a move.

Veteran newsman honored with Peggy May Inspiration Award

By Barry Kaufman CONTRIBUTOR

If Beaufort County had a voice, it would sound a lot like the gentle Southern drawl of David Lauderdale. Since 1977, that voice has been a defining part of our community’s story, sharing our triumphs and shining the spotlight on folks whose quiet charm and good deeds help bind us together in fellowship.

First as a reporter, then as columnist and editorial page director for The Island Packet, his evolution as a storyteller mimicked the vibrant growth of the area around him.

And as much as our community has provided endless fodder for his unmissable columns, he has in turn supplied our community with a platform. That platform has often helped serve our public schools, thanks in part to the influence of his retired middle school teacher wife, Sybil, and the two children he raised in local public schools.

That deep tie to our educational system and the wide breadth of good work he’s done for our community made him a natural honoree for this year’s Peggy May Inspiration Award, bestowed by the Foundation for Educational Excellence. It’s an honor that this Southern-born son of a preacher took with signature grace and humility.

“It came out of the blue, but it was a very nice surprise,” he said. “If you look at who has won the award in the past, it’s a good group of people. I’m honored to be a part of it.”

In fact, when asked about the award, in typical Lauderdale fashion he’ll respond by putting the spotlight elsewhere, namely on Peggy May herself.

“It’s a really good chance to look at Peggy May and the humanity it takes for a community to improve,” he said. “She worked a full career in teaching before coming to Hilton Head and was here 30 years using her drive to improve literacy.”

Literacy, as Lauderdale points out, is something that benefits far more than just the individual. “It’s not just teaching someone to read; there are so many benefits for the community,” he said. “She improved our community in so many ways and I really respect her for that.”

David Lauderdale at one of his favorite island spots, the docks at Hudson’s Seafood.

Among past honorees are local celebrities such as Orchid Paulmeier and Candice Glover and educational titans like Jane T. Upshaw, Kathy Cramer and Dr. Wayne Carbiener. In a slight break from tradition, last year’s honors were bestowed upon the entire Beaufort County School District, teachers and support staff, in recognition of the great strides they’ve made despite the challenges of the past few years.

Lauderdale joins their ranks not just for his tireless efforts to document the Lowcountry’s history as it was happening, but for the shining light his writing represents. And of course, for his tireless devotion to our area’s educational future, continued through his regular contributions even after his “retirement” from journalism.

“Being in the paper remains a very rewarding thing. I love to hear from people,” he said. “And I’ve always been a supporter of our public schools.”

That support goes both ways.

“The Board of the Foundation for Educational Excellence greatly appreciates passionate and inspirational community members like David,” said Lisa Carroll, chair of the board. “We are honored to present him with this award for his decades of esteemed writing that represents a celebration of our life in the Lowcountry.”

The Foundation for Educational Excellence exists to serve the public schools of Beaufort County, stepping in to provide grants and funding for innovative teaching projects that fall outside the normal school budget. The foundation has funded countless new opportunities for local students.

Long-term volunteer brings a lifetime of recycling to his job

By Edwina Hoyle CONTRIBUTOR

In a back room at the Bargain Box thrift store, volunteer Jerry Hushour finishes testing a donated lamp and places it on a shelf.

“Working here is like being part of a family,” he said. “It’s enjoyable – and I may even find a shirt to buy. And there are wonderful people here that I’ve known for years.”

Hushour recently celebrated his 95th birthday. He has been a Bargain Box volunteer for 32 years.

Born in 1927, Hushour was a Depression-era kid who learned to find, fix and shine things up to sell.

As a young boy, searching a dump for anything of value, he was thrilled to find a collection of pocket knives. He cleaned and polished 40 knives and then sold each of them for three or four cents so he had money to buy candy.

Later, his love of golf resulted in a side-hustle. Hushour would search thrift stores for used golf clubs in order to put together full sets. He would put on new

Robynn.

When Hushour retired from a 37-year career as a power house engineer at Ford Motor Company in Walton Hills, Ohio, he built a house on North Forest Beach on Hilton Head Island. That’s when he began his EDWINA HOYLE 32-year stint as a After testing a donated lamp to make sure it works, Jerry Hushour readies volunteer at the Bargain Box. it for sale at the Bargain Box. Hushour’s daughter, Renae, moved in with her parents grips, refurbish the clubs, and then sell the in 2016 in order to help care for her mother, clubs as a set.

Hushour’s story is one of commitment, not Betty.

Betty passed in 2019. “We were married only in his career and volunteer service. He for 72 years,” Hushour said. “It was a wonserved in the U.S. Navy during World War II. He was released from service in 1946 and derful marriage.” married his childhood sweetheart, Betty, in Now Renae joins her dad every Wednes1947. They raised two daughters, Renae and day to work at The Bargain Box.

“We both work in the hardware department and try to be good stewards of donated items,” Renae said. “We check to make sure the donated items work – and if not, we try to fix them and shine them up. Dad is proud of his service, and I enjoy time with him. We are honored to be a small part of The Bargain Box. It’s a labor of love.”

The Bargain Box was established in 1965 by three ladies from First Presbyterian Church as a shopping option for the working residents of Hilton Head Island. By 1970 it was generating enough revenue to provide financial support to local social agencies and charities.

The Bargain Box continued to grow, becoming an island institution that has returned $16,045,945 to the community.

“I get the feeling that I’m not doing my job if I don’t come in to work,” Jerry Hushour said. “I’m helping people and that’s fulfilling because so much is given to charity. I can’t picture myself sitting at home with nothing to do.”

“These kids train on much calmer waters on Hilton Head, we only get a fivefoot rolling wave at the end of the island once every six months. And then they’re taking on those waves around the world,” Newman said. “The results are a true testament to the work they have put in.

These kids have helped established a new level of respect nationally and worldwide for SCYC.” SCYC is now attracting world title hopefuls from across the country to train in the summer program annually.

“The island is gorgeous waters, but in terms of training for competition, St. Augustine and Fort Lauderdale have always been the destination for contenders to train. We are changing that perception steadily,” Newman said. “SCYC and the island are now a destination. Training with stronger competitors with world-title expectations, it has made our local kids see what’s capable for them, and year after year, our home-grown kids have been building to a world-title level. Louise Martin’s father was in the Olympics in 1996. Now, we have the world titles. The

kids can see right in front of them what’s possible. We can’t wait to see what’s next.”

The next event for SCYC is the Low Country Hook Ocean race on Sept. 17, a 27-mile ocean race from the south end of Hilton Head to the Wassaw Sound south of Tybee Island. The SCYC junior team has won the last two events on Fortitude and Vortex.

SCYC will host the annual Ocean Challenge Regatta Oct. 8-9 with PHRF spin, non-spin and Harbor 20 one-design classes.

“We are hopeful we can get some new cruisers and day sailors to come out and join the PHRF in a pursuit-style race this year,” Newman said. He also said the SCYC junior sailors would love to be part of crews to help newcomers navigate the racecourse.

Primer on half a century of local music memory makers

Jos Vicars, Martin Lesch and Jack Friel

By Tim Wood CONTRIBUTOR

Music matters in the Lowcountry.

It was only a matter of time that musicians would follow the rising tide of Hilton Head Island becoming a national vacation gem and getaway for the rich and famous.

Just over 55 years ago, a migration began that built the foundations of the thriving music scene we enjoy here today.

Our sleepy coordinates became a gold rush for musicians, as money flowed and opportunities became plentiful to flex their melodic and symphonic muscles.

“A lot of folks saw this as a reset, a chance to redefine their careers and reset their futures. It was a laboratory here, a steady flow of opportunities that gave us some creative geniuses and some very quick flameouts,” said musical elder Mike Kavanaugh, the architect behind both some of the

region’s favorite bands and the careers of many of our most enduring and endearing standout talents.

The front man of JoJo Squirrel and the Home Pickles has logged more than 6,500 personal performances and is the booker behind another 40,000 performers since arriving in 1984 from western New York. Even he will admit that he feels lucky to have gotten past the first 25 shows filled with trial and plenty of error, and a myriad of offstage temptations and detours.

“It was the Wild West, it was hedonistic and lawless, it was Snow Island.

It was a lot,” Kavanaugh said. “I got some early breaks and just kept working on my craft, elevated from awful to all right, playing through the kinks with champions like David Truly and Tommy Beaumont believing in me. My whole family worked at the Marriott in Shipyard, so I had plenty of help staying on a clean path. … I had plenty

MUSIC from page 20A of devils battling my better angels. You can’t sugarcoat just how wild it was here.”

Larry Perigo planted the seeds of our current-day lifestyle cliché. He often said he came for a month in 1977 and stayed for two decades. Perigo was the catalyst behind a bat-out-of-hell era of resort show bands when he landed his own Headliners at Club Indigo at the Hyatt (now the Omni).

The Headliners launched a themed variety show full of costume changes and scripted comedy bits in between musical sets.

Bobby Ryder was the next star to fall into our black hole. He came here for what was meant to be a week-long warmup for an extensive series of Hawaiian showroom sellouts. Instead, he began what became a 14-year residency at The Mariner’s Inn’s Scarlett’s Lounge. Promoters lured touring bands here with $5,000 paychecks, complimentary suites and bonus shows at golf and corporate events.

And when the tourists left in the fall,

acts like The Headliners hit the road for equally impressive touring paydays in the off months.

It wasn’t just kitsch and cash though.

A jazz scene was born parallel to the rock revolution underway at Coligny Plaza joints like Earle of Sandwich and the original Wild Wing.

The jazz jump was fueled by talents like crooner and musician Earl Williams, bassist Delbert Felix, jazz pianist Bill Barnwell and horn maestro Bob Masteller and venues like the Grog & Galley, Crows Nest atop the Hilton Head Inn, the Mockingbird Lounge at the Marriott (today’s Sonesta) and a Beach City Road speakeasy named The Golden Rose, a place that Masteller described as “Harlem Nights” meets “Green Book,” a spot where you needed connections to get in the door. Masteller once recalled to me being in awe of frequent celebrity drop-ins, like the night that Willie Mays, Willie McCovey and Hank Aaron were mesmerized by the jam sessions that played straight through to the morning.

Freddie Cole, the brother of Nat King Cole, added further cache with his spring residencies at the Plantation Club at Sea Pines. Big names bankrolled some big creative bets (and eventual flops), led by aging teen idol Frankie Avalon’s Scandals, which opened in 1980 with Bob Hope and the Las Vegas Follies headlining the quickly shuttered club. Avalon tried to establish Scandals as a stop for aging retread acts, but the spot outside Shipyard changed hands often, ultimately transforming into a strip club before evolving into the present-day Central Church.

It was a writer, Dick Mariotte, who became the connective tissue of the scene with his “Talk of the Town” column in the Hilton Head News – a starmaker publicity platform that helped build the legend of Atlanta import David Wingo, the OG rock star of Hilton Head – and his Sunday cookouts where musicians bonded and socialized.

Wingo was a creative force ahead of

his time that was the prototype for the multi-track musician, a genius who was as adept at selling cover tunes to tourists as he was at crafting original songs and compositions.

“He was the guy that challenged us all with his content to push ourselves beyond building our cover catalogs and finding a unique angle,” Kavanaugh said of Wingo.

We all color our life story as we get older, but it was hard to exaggerate the 1980s anarchy behind the music.

Private clubs full of debauchery like somehow-legal poker and blackjack machines (like tennis pro Evonne Goolagong’s key-access-only venue and The Ribbet Room) gave way to trailblazer Roy Prescott’s Remy’s, which opened in 1984.

The now-shuttered Remy’s became the all-night epicenter of music for F&B workers and entertainers, spawning legends like the Chilly Willy Band and the Lawn Jockeys. Equally the root

MUSIC from page 18 of much of our music ancestry, the Old Post Office Emporium became a regional kingmaker venue, thanks to the sweat and tears of the aforementioned Truly and island icon Mark Ruplinger.

It became home to the Truly Dangerous Swamp Band and The Mundahs, a progressive rock pioneering band that played only originals and landed themselves on the regional and national map thanks to their fanatical island following.

The Old P.O. became a must-play stop for celebrated headliners like Alice Cooper and Bonnie Raitt and for up-and-comers like Hootie and the Blowfish.

As fun as it is to remember when the Beach Boys played at Hilton Head High School, it’s the tireless energy and entrepreneurial hustle of island-based artists that truly built the scene and showed that as alluring as touring was, it was truly possible to make a comfortable living playing island gigs full-time.

Mike and Marilyn Daly and their contemporary rock creation, The Techniques, are revered as the original proof of concept of the full-time dream – thanks to their you-had-to-hear-it talents and hustle (not to mention the literal DNA behind present-day dynamos Jevon and Gavan Daly).

That full-time reality was also bolstered by the risk takers like Wingo who started a trend of artists opening their own venues when he launched Wingo’s at Park Plaza, the “in” place of the late ’80s and early ’90s that provided the inspiration and road map right through to the recent opening of Kind of Blue, a jazz club fronted by melodic magician Sterlin Colvin.

Few had the longevity of Wingo’s and Masteller’s Jazz Corner that folks like the Colvins aspire to achieve.

Legends have begotten legends for five-plus decades. Wingo’s gave way to Monkey Business, The Mundahs led to The Simpson Brothers. Edwin McCain cut his teeth here, plowing the way for touring breakthrough acts like Angie Aparo and Zach Deputy. Martin Lesch and Reggie Deas showed you could achieve national acclaim and still be a dominant force for community good.

The scene has pivoted and evolved just as the tourism industry has ebbed and flowed through timeshare troubles to AirBNB prosperity. Rockers kept making names, from Trophy Wife to White Liquor (Rick Saba does Jagger better than Jagger does Jagger) to Silicone Sister.

There are so many rabbit holes to go down, like The Shoreline Ballroom (Martin Sexton forever, man) and Daufuskie Island’s contributions through visionaries like Wick Scurry and Beth Shipman. Memory makers like Craig Coyne that sparked the 2000s vibe with Spare Parts and Shakey Bones that brought together talents like Lesch, Jack Friel, Jos Vicars and Daly.

And we can end for now where we began with Kavanaugh and JoJo Squirrel that blesses us with all-star ensemble efforts from the likes of Daly, John Wilkins, Todd Cowart, Gary Pratt, John Bruner and Chip Larkby. The O’Grady Brothers’ Big Bamboo and The Beagles that set standards for creating year-after-year memories for returning tourists. Daly launched Unicorn Meat, Daly Planet and Lowcountry Boil and set similar bars of excellence.

We tip the cap in memoriam to venues like Rider’s, The Broken Spoke, Bluffton Ale House and The Electric Piano that selflessly sealed music memories in a time capsule and dared musicians to unearth new riffs like unlocking new levels in your favorite video game.

We left out names, but this is just the scene setter that will let us drill down for future in-depth articles.

The likes of Greg Critchley, John Cranford, Kyle Wareham, Nick Poulin and Connor Hollifield and venues like Cool Cats, The Roasting Room and Fishcamp are the current torch bearers and proof that there is more room than ever for both audience-awing cover acts and innovating singer songwriters and producers.

Likewise, they deserve the publicity spotlight more than ever. This should be fun.

Decades of Trust Since 1979!

Seven-year-old Kali Jo Burnett sold lemonade and jars of flowers in May as a vendor at the first-ever Entrepreneur Day 4 Kids event held in the Heritage at New Riverside community in Bluffton. A second pop-up children’s market is scheduled for Sept. 10 at Martin Family Park, also in Bluffton.

A pop-up-style market planned for Sept.

10 in Old Town Bluffton gives new meaning to the term “small business.”

Not only are the businesses small; so are their owners. Young entrepreneurs will set up shop at Martin Family Park for Entrepreneur Day 4 Kids, where they will be selling a variety of items from 9 a.m. to noon. The event is free and open to the public.

The Christian-based Petals & Stars program is hosting the event as part of its mission to inspire people to spread hope.

Petals & Stars founder Shirl Cave said the event is an opportunity for children ages 16 and younger to earn some money, learn about money management, and to improve their people skills.

As a former business owner and the founder of a nonprofit, Cave is a great example of someone who followed her dreams and made them happen. Now she wants to encourage young people to chase their own dreams.

“If you work hard, you can reach goals that you never thought you would be able to reach,” Cave said. “If you put things in place, you can actually build upon a dream

that you may have had for a long time.”

Petals & Stars held its first Entrepreneur Day 4 Kids in May in Cave’s neighborhood.

About 10 children participated in the event at the community clubhouse in Heritage at New Riverside, selling snow cones, popcorn, chocolate-covered strawberries, flowers, baked goods, jewelry, books, plants, lemonade and resin art.

Cave said the first event was a success, drawing 50 to 60 customers. She decided to expand the second event to reach more people in Bluffton and thought Martin Family Park would be a good spot. She is hoping the upcoming event will bring out even more vendors and shoppers.

So far, about 20 kid-run businesses are signed up for the event. Cave said they would love for more to sign up, and they can do so through Sept. 8. There is a vendor fee of $15 per booth, which will cover the cost of insurance required to use the park.

For more information or to reserve a space, email hope@petalsandstars.org, or visit petalsandstars.org, @petalsandstars on Facebook, and @petalsandstarsproject on Instagram.

“A Season of New Beginnings” for the Hilton Head Choral Society will commence with “A Night at The Movies,” set for 7 p.m.

Sept. 30 at First Presbyterian Church, 540 William Hilton Parkway. This first concert of the 2022-23 season will include the full chorus and orchestra as well as the debut of the Choral Society’s new artistic director, Dr. Dustin Ousley.

The evening will feature a variety of familiar tunes from popular films through the decades including “Saving Private Ryan,” “Home Alone,” “Star Wars,” “Gladiator,” “Prince of Egypt” and many more. Some popular pieces that will surely have the audience singing along – and they are welcome to do so –include: “My Heart Will Go On” from “Titanic”; “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” from “The Wizard of Oz”; “Kiss from a Rose” from “Batman Forever”; and “Nine to Five” from the movie of the same name.

Featuring musical pieces for all ages, the Choral Society will take concertgoers on a musical cinematic journey that promises to be unforgettable.

As Dr. Dustin Ousley takes the reins of the Choral Society as the new artistic director, he brings with him years of experience studying, teaching, participating in, and directing musical performances in a variety of settings. Ousley is currently an assistant professor of music at Charleston Southern University where he also serves as director

of choral activities and coordinator of choral music education.

Ousley said he chose many of the pieces for the first concert as a means to introduce himself to the audience. He selected songs that have provided personal inspiration that he feels will also have an emotional and tangible appeal for the concert goers as well.

Rehearsing throughout the summer to prepare for the season, some other “new beginnings” for the HHCS include a new president, Walter Lowe, and a new accompanist, Dr. Janet Elshazly. In addition, there are a number of new singers who have joined the group this year.

“Ousley promises to bring excitement and passion in our Season of New Beginnings,” said Lowe. “We are confident that he will create dynamic and entertaining programming throughout the season and for many years to come.”

The Choral Society’s season will continue with the annual Christmas concert, “The Many Moods of the Season” on Dec. 9.

The HHCS also looks forward with great anticipation to next year’s spring concert “A Mozart Celebration” on March 31 and the traditional “America Sings!” concert on May 29.

Tickets are available now for the full season or single concerts at hiltonheadchoralsociety.org. For more information or for assistance placing your ticket order, call 843-341-3818 or email tickets@hiltonheadchoralsociety.org.

Locals create third student cookbook George Hirsch, Jr. and his mother and co-author Carrie Hirsch of Hilton Head Island have launched “The College Student’s Vegetarian Cookbook: 100 Easy Vegetarian Recipes to Prepare on a Budget, in Tiny Kitchens, with Dull Knives, Microwaves and Distractions While Earning a Degree!”

The book is the third in their series of cookbooks for college students.

The co-authors began writing the cookbooks while George attended the University of Georgia. “My son endured claustrophobic kitchens, temperamental ovens, rusty stovetop coils, and decrepit refrigerators during his college days,” said Carrie. “We quickly realized college students could use some help in the kitchen.”

In addition to creating original reci-

pes, they also wrote dozens of tips and anecdotes and included food and college lifestyle photos. “As you know, eating (not necessarily eating well) is such an integral part of college life but depending on fast food and buying processed food have become a bad habit once students come off their meal plans,” said George.

“The College Student’s Vegetarian Cookbook provides recipes for every meal, and what to make for the parents when they come for a visit in the ‘Impress The ’Rents’ chapter. Mastering the basics of cooking and baking, as I did at home with my family before leaving for college, will help college student survive during their college years and beyond.

The cookbook is available at amazon. com and etsy.com.

This deviously delicious sci-fi rock musical follows hapless floral assistant, Seymour, who spends his days tending to sad little flowers as well as his wilting hope of a better life beyond skid row. Suddenly after an unexpected “total eclipse of the sun,” Seymour discovers a new breed of plant — a cross between a Venus flytrap and an avocado!

After displaying the new find in the shop window, Seymour is catapulted to fame as the caretaker of the succulent sensation, and the whole city is buzzing! But this quickly-growing bloom isn’t as innocent as he once thought.

This carnivorous, smart-talking plant has an insatiable thirst for human blood, making Seymour question just how far he’ll go for the life of his dreams.

Little of Shop of Horrors is a landmark musical that has made millions of audiences laugh, scream, and give up gardening for good!

Art Quilters present ‘Heart and Soul of the South’ exhibit The Art Quilters of the Lowcountry will display their fiber arts in the form of quilts at their exhibit, “Heart and Soul of the South,” Sept. 10 through Oct. 23 in the Main Gallery at Coastal Discovery Museum on Hilton Head Island.

An opening reception will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. Sept. 14. The event is free and open to the public, as is the gallery.

Artist walks will be held from 1 to 3 p.m. on select Thursdays, Sept. 22 to Oct. 13. Various group members will on hand to discuss their work with visitors.

Art Quilters of the Lowcountry is a group of five dedicated artists who use fiber and thread to create detailed portraits of the world around them.

In this, the group’s latest exhibition, they explore themes related to the people and places of the Southeastern United States.

Using Wendy Nilsen Pollitzer’s book “South: What it means to be here in

a

heart or in spirit” as inspiration for considering the region, the Art Quilters will present more than 50 works, representing a range of subjects from landscape to portraits.

While Ron Hodge, Ro Morrissey,

se a s on of

Donna Stankiewicz, Peg Weschke, and Jody Wigton each approach their work with a unique vision and varied techniques, these five award-winning artists share a commitment to their craft and to presenting fiber art as fine art.

The quality of the work leaves no doubt that they have achieved their goal.

In addition to the opening reception and artist walks, member Ro Morrissey will host a Fiber Art Seascape Workshop from 5 to 7 p.m. Oct. 20. Cost is $30 per person and reservations are required. Participants will learn how to compose an art quilt and use a fusing technique to construct it, finishing with some simple hand stitching.

Coastal Discovery Museum is located at 70 Honey Horn Drive. Gallery hours are Monday to Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

BUSINESS UPDATE

Cinnabon, preschoolers, mobile bar and a new blues hotspot

By Tim Wood CONTRIBUTOR

Here are the latest golden nuggets of entrepreneurial activity around Bluffton and Hilton Head Island.

Cinnabon Food Truck opens in Bluffton: Rumors of a sugary surprise circulated on social channels for months and thankfully in this case, the scuttlebutt was true.

Monique and Kenneth Frazier officially opened the Cinnabon Food Truck on July 29. It is a dream realized for the beloved Bluffton family and a dream scenario for sweet tooth junkies across the Lowcountry. The truck offers classic cinnamon buns, also available with pecan caramel topping, as well as bite-sized buns, churro swirls, coffee hot and cold brews and lemonades.

Just in their first month, the Fraziers have repeatedly sold out in stops at the medical complex at 4818 Bluffton Park-

way, as well as trips to Beaufort, Hilton Head Island and neighborhoods such as Lawton Station. Visit their Facebook page (CinnabonFoodTruckBluffton) or call 843-802-9000 for more information about future stops and event catering opportunities.

Ivybrook Academy opens: We have talked about the half-day preschool opening along Buckwalter Parkway, and now Ivybrook Academy (26 Cassidy Drive, Bluffton, 843-836-1120, ivybrookacademy.com/bluffton) has opened its doors. The Montessori-inspired program celebrated their grand opening on Aug. 24. Initial interest was so strong that Academy officials created an additional class and currently have a few spots available for the inaugural session.

New name, same cool mobile bar: We spotlighted Tap Truck Hilton Head earlier this year. The mobile bar serving

Monique and Kenneth Frazier opened their Cinnabon Food Truck in July.

Pet resort inches closer to opening: You’ve seen the building spring up along S.C. 170, and now K9 Resorts Bluffton (1059 North Okatie Highway, 843-4870200, k9resorts.com/bluffton) is offering specials ahead of what they hope to be a grand opening in early October. The luxury pet resort is offering discounts on boarding packages and offering doggie daycare packages with more bonus days the more you reserve.

craft beer, wine, coffee and cocktails out of the back of their classic 1964 Chevy truck has been well received by the community. Now, owner Peter Maresma has announced that he has severed ties with the Tap Truck franchise and has rebranded his operation as Lowcountry Taps.

Maresma is excited to offer a more local and tailored experience as a free-standing brand. Check out their offerings and event packages online at lowcountrytapshhi.com or call 843-368-7015.

‘Kind of’ incredible new venue: Music lovers were devastated with the closing of Ruby Lee’s, but now have reason to celebrate. Musical mastermind Sterlin Colvin is behind the Kind of Blue (19 Dunnagan’s Alley, Hilton Head Island, 843-686-2868, kindofbluehhisc.com), a dining and jazz and blues venue that recently celebrated its soft opening. Kind of Blue will have two shows nightly at 6:30 and 9 p.m. and offers a menu that promises culinary melodies. Dishes

CONSIDERING A KNEE OR JOINT REPLACEMENT? THE LEADERS IN RESTORATIVE MEDICINE

HILTON HEAD ISLAND FOR OVER 30 YEARS Over one million joint replacements are performed in the U.S. each year and according to the Cleveland Clinic, over 85% of knee replacements need to be redone within 15 years. Since 2018 the Fraum Center for Restorative Health has been one of the only facilities in the United States, offering a non-surgical alternative to joint replacement that is Beyond Stem Cells™. This future of healthcare, cutting edge technology helps patients get back to living the life they love.

Page 37A

WHAT IS RESTORATIVE MEDICINE? Restorative medicine involves using Human Cellular Tissue Products (HCTPs) to help the body heal itself.

Through restorative medicine, damaged tissue in joints are supplemented with healthy structural tissue to provide an opportunity to restore from within.

KNEES, SHOULDERS, AND HIPS Dr. Heather Hinshelwood MD has helped thousands of patients with knees, shoulders, hips and more. The procedure takes only 30 minutes and allows the patient to leave with a simple band-aid over the site.

RESULTS ORIENTED Many patients experience a significant reduction in knee pain within 48 hours due to the reduced inflammation. With restorative medicine therapy, most patients feel maximum results within 10 to 12 weeks and up to 95% within 6 months.

First Fish & Grits fest set for Oct. 1 on island The inaugural Lowcountry Fish & Grits Music Festival will be held from 1 to 6 p.m. Oct. 1 at Lowcountry Celebration Park on Hilton Head Island.

The event will feature live music, along with artists, artisans and craft vendors, food trucks, and craft Latrese Bush beer.

This event is kid friendly with access from the festival to the adjacent Adventure Playground and to The Sandbox Children’s Museum.

There will be live performances by recording artists Latrese Bush, Votte Hall, Gwen Yvette, and Angela Bonaparte, Latin percussionist Frankie Quinones, spoken presentations by Louise Cohen and Vascola Stoney, and

more.

The event is presented by Watterson Brands in association with BurnBush Entertainment, Hilton Head MLK Committee for Justice and the Gullah Geechee Heritage Corridor.

The festival will bring awareness to the diverse Gullah Geechee culture and its connection to the vast African diaspora. By bringing together a mix of international and local musical talent, unique crafts, and indigenous cuisine (not easily accessible outside of the Lowcountry), the festival provides a unique cultural experience.

A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Hilton Head MLK Committee for Justice. The festival is sponsored by Native Island Business and Community Affairs Association. For more information, visit fishandgritsmusicfest.com or email coordinator@fishandgritsmusicfest. com.

UPDATE from page 44A include an array of appetizers, salads, burgers and sandwiches like the catfish po’ boy, and a diverse entrée selection that includes steaks, seafood, baked ribs, lamb chops and jambalaya pasta.

Coming attractions and a busy tip line: Bluffton is especially buzzing with buildings rising up all around town. In Buckwalter Place, it appears that The UPS Store won’t be the only new tenant to spring up near the Hotworx infrared fitness and yoga studio. Signs popped up last week for a Rita’s Italian Ice coming soon. The chain previously opened and shuttered in the Planet Fitness plaza on the corner of Bluffton Parkway and Burnt Church Road. We’ve reached out to the current franchise officials for their timeline for Buckwalter, but if you’re jonesing for ices and slushes in the meantime, check out Sunset Slush in Berkeley Place and Jack Frost Ice Cream and Ices next to Okatie Ale House off William Pope Drive just outside the Sun City gates.

You’ve also been asking about potential tenants for buildings being built on the corner of Bluffton and May River Roads, a concrete brick structure farther down May River Road, a Scott Builders plaza closer to Burnt Church Distillery on Bluffton Road and The Bridge complex off of Calhoun Street. We’ve got our feelers out and will have updates in upcoming issues.

We’ve also got our eyes on the exciting new La Poblanita Fresh Market building near Enmarket off Bluffton Parkway.

The growing market chain already has a large market on Hilton Head and smaller locations in Ridgeland and off May River Road in Bluffton. Exterior construction on a much larger facility off Bluffton Park Crescent is nearly complete and the interior buildout is moving along as supply chain delays allow. We’ll keep you updated on a target opening date.

Two new knees gave Bluffton man new lease on life

By Tony Kukulich CONTRIBUTOR

When David Collins decided it was time to schedule knee replacement surgery, he likely had a better understanding of what he was getting into than even the best-informed patients.

Collins sold orthopedics for one of the major manufacturers of replacement joints for much of his career. His new knees were, in fact, crafted by his former employer.

“I’ve been in the operating room any number of times,” he said. “I saw knee replacements and hip replacements and knew what the procedure involved.”

Now 70, the Bluffton resident is extraordinarily active. In addition to his successful real estate business, Collins enjoys hiking, biking, kayaking and spending time in the gym. And he’s a lifelong rugby enthusiast, remaining involved with the sport – known for its high level of physical contact and the toughness of its players – until relatively recently.

“I played rugby until three years ago,” he

David Collins had both his knees replaced within 90 days of one another.

said. “I was the slowest guy on the field, but I was still playing.”

Despite Collins’ familiarity with joint replacement surgery, he made the decision to delay replacing his painful knees for as long as he could. He based that on a number of factors, including his understanding of the expected lifespan of a replacement knee, an

expectation of his likely lifespan, and his desire to avoid knee revision – having the replacement knee replaced after it wears out – later in life. As a result of that calculus, Collins held off on the surgery until earlier this year.

“My surgeon, Dr. Kevin Jones at Beaufort Memorial, told me my knees were among

the worst he had seen due to the longtime ‘bone-on-bone’ situation,” said Collins. “In retrospect, I should have done it earlier so I could have been pain-free sooner and enjoyed a better quality of life.”

But when he did make the move, he made it quickly. He had total knee replacement surgery done on both knees within 90 days of one another.

“I was in Savannah with my wife, walking over cobblestone, up and down stairs, and I’d had it,” he said. “I just couldn’t do it anymore. There’s nothing that relieves that kind of pain.”

Dr. Jones, the board-certified orthopedic surgeon who performed both of Collins’ knee replacements, used the Mako Robotic Arm-Assisted Surgery System. According to Jones, the technology allows him to create a surgical plan unique to a patient’s anatomy, and then use the robotic arm to implant the components with greater precision.

“With the robot, we can more closely customize the ideal position of the knee

KNEE from page 41A implant, increasing its longevity,” said Jones, adding that the precision of the robotic arm allows cuts to occur in a way that they do not impact the tissue surrounding the bone.

Further, computer modeling helps surgeons determine where to make the cuts to ensure that the knee is balanced, meaning that the tension on the ligaments is equal on both sides of the knee.

“If we’re able to balance the knee throughout the range of motion, we’re able to get the range of motion back more easily, and we’re able to see a quicker recovery,”

Jones said.

After each of Collins’ surgeries, he was able to leave the hospital the same day. Most Beaufort Memorial joint replacement patients will spend one night in the hospital, but about a third are able to go home the same day.

“Leaving the hospital on the day of surgery isn’t for everyone, but patients who are healthy and who have a support system at home often prefer to do that,” said Jones.

“And we see the same outcomes as patients who stay in the hospital.”

Collins believes that his general level of fitness and given that his wife Maureen is a BMH nurse, helped him avoid the overnight stay.

Three weeks after his knee replacements, Collins was back in Savannah, this time for a concert. Unlike the trip that prompted his decision to replace his knees, this time he had no such discomfort.

“Knee replacement has changed my life,” he said. “I’m bouncing around, going up and down stairs. For 20 years, handrails had been my best friend. I don’t need a handrail

anymore.”

With two new knees, Collins is now cautiously considering a return to the rugby pitch.

“My goal would be to play rugby again,” he said. “There’s a tournament every year in Aspen. At 71 or 72, I think I would be like a 35-year-old against those guys.”

WELLNESS

Non-facelift facelifts help diminish unwanted signs of aging

By E. Ronald Finger CONTRIBUTOR

For a basic understanding of what happens to people’s faces with age, we have aging skin with wrinkles, age spots, loss of elasticity, and loss of volume. The latter occurs from diminished fat and bone.

Regarding turning back the clock on aging faces: Since E. Ronald Finger I began in plastic surgery, surgery first became more invasive for the never-ending pursuit of better results.

Times changed, and now the goal is equivalent results with less or no surgery and down-time. To achieve this, techniques and technology have mushroomed, from lasers, radiofre-

quency and plasma pens, to newer fat grafting techniques, to longer lasting “fillers,” and finally, improvement of thread-lifts.

Thread lifts are not new. The original lifts were performed using permanent threads with “barbs” to simply pull the sagging faces upward.

As mentioned, the problem with aging faces is more than loss of elasticity.

The permanent threads did nothing for loss of volume or skin quality, and many became noticeable in appearance with time and especially as skin thinned with age. If the sutures were placed incorrectly, the patient was stuck with the results.

In addition, if an infection occurred, there was virtually no way to remove the threads, and the infections were difficult to treat.

Thread lifts have entered a new era.

The new threads, called PDO threads or InstaLift threads, have small barbs

or cones that allow the sutures to go in only one way. The small barbs or cones, when placed under slight tension, will pull the face in the proper direction, upward and backwards.

PDO threads also come smooth (not barbed) to be used as a volumizer with no lifting, as needed around the mouth or eyes and frown lines. The new threads are temporary, lasting about six months. However, they stimulate the small cells called “fibroblasts” to produce collagen and elastin.

This produces volume, diminishes wrinkles, increases elasticity, and improves the appearance of skin.

The volume is thus the patient’s own collagen and will last 1½ to 2 years, according to the patient’s lifestyle.

The thread lift procedures must be individualized according to the problem to be addressed, and the procedures can often take less than an hour

to perform under local anesthesia. The recovery involves some discomfort and usually some bruising that can last 7 to 10 days.

The areas that can be improved are limited by one’s imagination. The threads can be used in the neck, arms, wrinkles above the knees, and more.

Consider PDO threads as needed for those who don’t want a facelift or are not quite ready for one.

Often they are used in combination with other procedures such as lasers, Renuvion for tightening the neck skin, or Botox/Dysport and fillers.

Continuing to look our best with aging is a process because, if lucky, we continue to age.

What to do during an accident-related dental emergency

By Matthew Mastrorocco CONTRIBUTOR

Accident-related dental emergencies can be scary. A sports mishap or a slip-and-fall can happen in a moment and often at the most inopportune time.

Understandably, we are emotionally attached to our teeth, both cosmetically and functionally. I have found over the course of my 22-year career that being available with advice and reassurance during a stressful time is quite valuable.

In some cases, treatment can be postponed until normal business hours, but sometimes immediate attention is required.

Following are common accidental tooth emergencies and practical steps you can take if you find yourself having one.

If a tooth is loose: • Try to place the tooth back into its normal position and apply pressure to help re-attach the tooth to the bone structure.

• Call your dentist as soon as possible.

Expect: • The chances that a tooth will reattach to the bone depends upon the extent of damage and how quickly you see your dentist.

If you lose a permanent tooth: • Carefully pick up the tooth and wipe off any visible particles, such as dirt or dust.

• Place the tooth back in its socket and apply pressure.

• If you are unable to reposition the tooth, keep it under your tongue surrounded by saliva.

• If you are unable to keep the tooth in your mouth, place it in a small glass of milk.

Milk includes proteins that maintain pH balance, anti-bacterial substances, and sugars to promote cell growth.

• Call your dentist as soon as possible.

Avoid: • Cleaning the tooth with water or placing it in water. Water dehydrates the tooth, making reattachment difficult.

• Going to the ER. Hospitals are typically not equipped for dentistry. They will very

likely recommend seeing your dentist. Calling your dentist first will save you time and money.

Expect: • Each situation is different. The likelihood of saving a permanent tooth depends on many factors, including your oral health and the amount of time the tooth was dislodged.

• In some situations, a dental splint is required until the tooth can reattach itself to the jawbone. A dental splint looks like braces, but on a smaller scale. Your dentist attaches wires to the injured tooth as well as neighboring teeth to maintain its position as it heals.

If a tooth severely pierces your tongue, lip or cheek: • Compress the wound with gauze to control any bleeding.

• Call your dentist as soon as possible.

Expect: • Your dentist will clean the area and remove any debris.

• Depending on the severity of the cut,

dissolvable sutures may be required.

If you chip a tooth: • Don’t worry about collecting tooth fragments because they cannot be reattached to the tooth • Call your dentist and explain the situation. If you are not in pain, an emergency visit may not be necessary.

Expect: • Treatment for a chipped tooth can vary significantly from a simple cosmetic procedure to more complex treatment, depending on the root’s damage Preventing non-accidental dental emergencies These dental emergencies are due to unavoidable and unfortunate accidents; however, many dental emergencies are avoided by seeing your dentist regularly for exams and hygiene cleanings to address issues before they become urgent.

FAITH

Jesus Principle works today as it did in the first century

By Bill Ward CONTRIBUTOR

In Mark 9:33-35 there is a short little interchange between Jesus and his disciples. When they arrived at their destination (Capernaum) Jesus asked them, “What were you arguing about on the road?”

The disciples got quiet, perhaps embarrassed, because on the way they had argued about who was the greatest.

Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, “Anyone who wants to be first must be the very last, and the servant of all.”

Now, that was and is a radical statement. It was and is countercultural. It is the Jesus Principle!

Jesus was trying to help them set their priorities – to get them in line with his new way of teaching.

Our world today is not that much different from first century Capernaum.

We so much want to be first. We want to be great. We want it to be all about “my needs, my wants, my wishes, my desires, my success.” We want to be at the top of the pyramid. We want to be No. 1.

Rest assured, at one level, there’s

nothing really wrong with that.

There is nothing wrong with wanting to be successful. Personal ambition is a gift God has bestowed upon us to cause us to be our best.

When I have surgery, I want a doctor who is dedicated to being the very best doctor in town. When I go to a restaurant, I would like to think the chef is dedicated to being the very best chef in town. When I have my car repaired, I would like to think I have the best mechanic in town working on my car.

There is nothing wrong with striving to be No. 1 as long as we are able to put it into perspective. Notice that Jesus didn’t scold the disciples for wanting to be first.

What he tried to do was help them realign their priorities.

Jesus is letting the disciples know (and us) that being No. 1 (climbing to the top) is not where it’s at. That is not the road to abundant life. If you want to live a truly fulfilled life, then serving others, helping others, reaching out, listening, caring, and giving is where it’s at!

When Jesus said, “Anyone who wants to be first must be the very last, and the servant of all,” he was turning greatness completely upside-down. This Jesus principle is so profound and shocking that we are still trying to figure it out 2000 years later!

New school year offers ways to support students, teachers

By Scott Wierman CONTRIBUTOR

The 2022-23 school year has begun and with a new academic year comes an incredible amount of excitement and opportunities for students, parents and teachers. Whether the student is enrolled in pre-K or entering college as a freshman, along with excitement comes a new set of challenges.

For some students, the challenges go far beyond the classroom. Unfortunately, many Lowcountry students face substantial hurdles in achieving a quality education, including poverty and lack of resources.

The Community Foundation of the Lowcountry is a great place to start if you are interested in creating educational opportunities for Lowcountry students in need. We currently administer approximately 25 education funds and 40 scholarship funds, and offer a variety of fund options: donor-advised, scholarship, field of interest, and designated.

If you’ve ever spent time around a farm or equestrian center, then you likely have a profound appreciation for the loyal presence of a beloved barn cat. Not only do they help deter rodents, but their amusing antics and steadfast companionship bring a sense of harmony to the busy innerworkings of a barn.

As a no-kill rescue, Palmetto Animal League understands that some cats thrive in non-traditional domains such as warehouses, workshops, and barns where they happily enjoy food, water, shelter, and love from afar. We waive their adoption fee for people willing to care and provide for them in an indoor/outdoor space.

“Some independent-minded felines choose our warehouse over our homelike cat rooms during their stay at PAL, but they all know what it means to be loved,” said PAL President Amy Campanini.

Be nice to your clubs, and they will be nice to you

By Tom Dorsel CONTRIBUTOR

When watching junior tournaments, and even some professional events, I see players abusing themselves (slapping their leg, hitting themselves on the head) and abusing their clubs. They drop, pound or throw down their clubs, ram them into their bags, pull their head covers on forcefully – all sorts of Tom Dorsel dramatics that display the players’ immaturity, lack of control, and, most importantly, the tension they are creating for many shots and holes to come.

How do you think your putter feels when you smack it on the face or bite it every time a putt fails to drop? Even worse, you might

TAKE BACK YOUR YARD

from mosquitoes, ticks and fleas!

bang its head on the ground, put it over your knee and try to break it. Could you really blame the putter if it got downright ornery and refused to cooperate?

Similarly with the wedge. The wedge is your friend, but if you call on a friend all the time, even a good friend is going to eventually let you down. Other friends are by your side, like your 7-iron for a chip and run, your putter for a roll through the fringe. Give them a call once in a while.

Don’t get mad at any club. Your clubs are simply doing what you tell them to do.

They can’t help it that golf is a hard game, something they realize and you have to realize, too, so you become more patient with yourself and your clubs.

When a psychologist is called upon to change someone’s behavior, one thing to do is to encourage the person to do the opposite behavior.

So, how about this: When a putt doesn’t go in, give the poor putter a kiss on the face

to console it, as it is trying as hard as you are.

If your driver, the big fella carrying the heavy load for you, goes astray on a hole because you gave it the wrong directions, give it a little hug before you gently put the head cover back on, and maybe it will be there for you, eager to go the extra mile on your next drive.

As Katilda Woods, Tiger’s mom, used to say to him when he complained about a bad round: “Tiger, was it the course’s fault, was it the ball’s fault, was it the club’s fault ... or was it your fault?”

Of course, Tiger was the one at the controls, just like you are when you play.

So, don’t take it out on your clubs, even with seemingly simple gestures that serve to embarrass your clubs, you and everyone around you. You want your clubs on your side, so treat them nice, and I bet they will treat you nicer, too.

Celebrating my friend Dana Rader, a driving force in golf

By Jean Harris

In Bluffton, we were fortunate to have Rader as a golf professional and director of instruction at Belfair since 2018.

CONTRIBUTOR

I have been so fortunate to know Dana Rader for more than 40 years. She has been an inspiration to me and fellow golf professionals as someone we always looked up to.

I watched her grow into one of the best teaching professionals in the game of golf.

Even with all of her accomplishments, she always remained approachable to fellow teachers and her students.

Her career began in Charlotte, North Carolina, in 1980 and built her business there.

There, she opened her Dana Rader Golf School, which grew into one of the most accomplished golf schools in the nation.

She is an accomplished writer, with her book “Rock Solid Golf: A Foundation for a Lifetime,” published in 2002, with a foreword by her idol and friend Nancy Lopez.

A respected leader in her community, Rader was named Charlotte Business Woman of the Year in 2003.

In late July, Rader was diagnosed with Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, a rare and rapidly progressive, neurodegenerative disorder.

She was a woman of faith and accepted her challenge. The out-pouring of love and support from LPGA members and students was amazing.

Those of us who knew her were all heartbroken to see her suffer through this horrible disease.

Sadly, she passed away peacefully Aug. 17 with her significant other, Amy Prior, at her side. Rader was laid to rest Aug. 21 in Morganton, North Carolina.

Rader had received nearly every award golf can bestow on a professional. Listed below are many of her accomplishments: • No. 1 ranked teacher in South Carolina

by Golf Digest • Golf Digest Top 50 teacher in the nation

COURTESY LPGA

Dana Rader dedicated her life to growing the game of golf.

• Emeritus Top 100 teacher by Golf Magazine • Named Charter Lead Coach on the Golf Channel Academy • Featured on the Golf Channel as an

instructor on many occasions • LPGA Master Professional since 2013 • Past National President of the LPGA Teaching and Golf Professionals • 2015 Ellen Griffin Award, highest honor for teaching professionals • 2017 inducted into the LPGA Hall of Fame • Contributing writer for Golf Digest, Sports Illustrated and Golf Magazine • 2020 Nancy Lopez Golf Achievement Award, given to the LPGA teaching professional who best emulates qualities valued

by Lopez: leadership, passion, giving and approachability.

Dana has left the fairway of life and we are confident that God has given her a driving range in heaven where she will continue to grow the game of golf.

FOOD

Get the lowdown on highly favored Lowcountry boil

By Charles Russo III CONTRIBUTOR

As we slowly make our way into fall, we enter a season filled with gatherings and get-togethers. Whether you’re cooking for a tailgate party or an extended family dinner, a Lowcountry boil is sure to be a fan favorite.

This recipe has deep roots in Southern culture and remains a staple for many locals today. Reports first reference it as being prepared by the Gullah people along the coasts of Georgia and South Carolina.

The modern iteration of this one-pot meal is credited to a National Guardsman, Richard Gay, from Frogmore, a community on St. Helena Island, who needed to make dinner for 100 of his fellow soldiers. He originally called it “Frogmore Stew” as an homage to his hometown. In the 1980s, the dish was featured in Gourmet Magazine, eventually earning the name, “Lowcountry boil.”

With one large pot, fresh shrimp and a few simple ingredients, it’s easy to understand why this recipe remains popular today.

One of the great things about a Lowcountry boil is how customizable it is to you and your preferences. On my brother-in-law’s birthday, we celebrated on the dock with a Lowcountry boil. While it was cooking, the birthday boy dumped a bunch of mushrooms into the pot. I had never seen this, so at first, I teased him a bit.

But when the Lowcountry boil was finished, the mushrooms had soaked up all of the flavors, and it was phenomenal.

I’ve added mushrooms to every boil I’ve done since this.

I’ve also heard of people boiling their meal in beer rather than water, but that’s up to you!

One of the top reasons why this is a favorite dish to serve is how simple it is to prepare. Here is my recipe for you to try:

Russo’s Fresh Seafood Lowcountry Boil (serves 8) A large pot (the bigger, the better) 4 lbs. fresh shrimp (shell-on) 2 lbs. red potatoes 3 whole onions, peeled 2 lbs. Kielbasa sausage (or Andouille sausage for a spicy option) 8 ears of fresh corn on the cob 1 clove garlic 1/2 of a lemon 24 oz. whole white mushrooms A large pour of Old Bay seasoning and salt Directions: 1. Boil water with Old Bay seasoning, salt and throw in the garlic clove 2. Add potatoes and lemon and cook for 10 minutes 3. Add sausage and onion and cook for 5 minutes 4. Add corn and mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes 5. Add shrimp and cook until shrimp are pink (approximately 1-2 minutes).

6. Immediately strain and serve I offer lemon wedges, homemade cocktail sauce, and hot sauce alongside the boil. When it’s time to eat, simply lay newspaper down on the table for easy cleanup.

If your family and friends have seafood allergies, cook the vegetables and sausage separately and pull everything out first. Then, cook the shrimp last in the same water so it will still have the flavor of the Lowcountry boil.

One last note: Please make sure that the shrimp you cook are sustainably caught to protect our local ecosystem.

NATURE’S WAY

What happens when the fish get the upper hand – or fin

By Collins Doughtie CONTRIBUTOR

Mention the word “fishing” and I reckon most folks think of Tom Sawyer, cane pole in hand, chewing on a length of straw while sitting along the banks of the Mighty Mississippi. I guess this “lazy” vision is acceptable in most cases, but here in the Lowcountry, fishing can be almost treacherous, requiring lot of work on the fisherman’s part.

I know from experience that fish can be sly, tricky and in some cases downright ornery.

I know it’s hard to think of a largemouth bass and other local freshwater fish as being vicious creatures, but there’s one that is. The lowly bowfin, commonly known as mudfish, are somewhat prehistoric and usually inhabit swamp-like ponds or rivers.

Because these places usually have little oxygen in the water, the bowfin have that problem covered by being able to stick their head out of the water and gulp air. And talk about a mean fish, bowfin will eat just about anything that moves.

When caught on hook and line, their abnormally large head and dagger-like teeth will put a hurt on you if it gets hold of you.

Besides that mouth, they are incredibly slimy, making handling them almost like trying to grab a greased pig. Is this experience talking? Absolutely.

On the slippery meter, I would have to put flounder right up there. Since I have a passion for fishing for flatties rather than gigging them, I have had a number of runins with these wet bars of soap, and in most

cases I lose these wrestling matches.

Some of my more notable experiences with flounder happened during my teen years. Because I didn’t have a boat at the time, I was big into lagoon fishing on Hilton Head Island, especially in brackish water lagoons.

One lagoon in particular always seemed to produce big fish – redfish over four feet long, trout over 10 pounds, tarpon and, believe it or not, an occasional snook or two.

It was during one such trip to that lagoon when I hooked into something big, but by the way it fought I wasn’t sure what I had on the end of my line.

It stayed on the bottom like a stingray often does but something was different about this fish. After numerous runs, I was finally able to see the fish and it was the biggest flounder I had ever seen – and I had landed some whoppers. My heart was pounding like crazy. With no net, my only option was to try to find a spot where I could slide the fish up the bank.

I knew I had to do it slowly so my line wouldn’t break. I had that monster about three feet out of the water when there was a loud snap and my line broke.

I threw down my rod and jumped on that flounder. It went nuts, I went nuts and the fight was on. Back and forth we went until it made it to the water and off it swam.

Knowing that flounder was in that lagoon, I became obsessed with catching it. Three weeks later, I finally caught what I am sure was that damn flounder, and it weighed in at 14 ½ lbs. It was larger than any doormat I have ever seen.

The sheepshead has a mouth full of teeth.

Another fish that has a tendency to get the upper hand is a dolphin fish or mahi-mahi, especially the large ones. Hooked, a big bull dolphin (a male mahi) has an extremely broad side, so it’s like pulling in a sheet of plywood with the flat side against you.

But that’s nothing compared to the moment you decide to put one of these bruisers in the boat. From the moment you gaff the beast and drop it on the deck, my only suggestion is to get way out of the way because they almost always go crazy.

I have had them flip high enough to go back over the side, but more often than that I have seen them darn near break legs with their powerful tail.

One such incident happened years back when a woman onboard caught a 50-pound bull. It hadn’t been in the boat more than a couple of minutes when she insisted on a picture with her prize catch. To no avail, I tried to warn her to give the brute a few more minutes to settle down. But she

wanted that picture right then and there, so I held up this huge dolphin – and just as the camera clicked that tail took her out.

I saw her a day or two later, and from hip to foot her leg was jet black, a bruise that had to have taken weeks to disappear. I have taken dolphin tails to about every part of my body including my face and other sensitive parts.

It isn’t always the big fish that can get you.

Chopper bluefish and Spanish mackerel both come into the boat snapping away.

Both of these species have razor sharp teeth that can mutilate a finger or toe quicker than a Ronco Chop-O-Matic.

But when it comes to pain, nothing beats a bite from a triggerfish. Unlike mackerel or bluefish, triggerfish have a small mouth with human-like teeth that won’t necessarily slice you open because their forte is quite different. Given half a chance they will play dead and then, when your hand is within biting distance, they strike and hold on.

It’s like having a bulldog grab you. The more you try and pull away the harder they bite down. In addition, the times they have gotten me have always been in the most sensitive parts of my hand – like the skin in the palm of your hand.

My advice is this: The next time you catch one of the species mentioned and think they are cute little fishies, think again. They’re all out to get you and if you wonder if that is experience talking – absolutely, positively “Yes!” Collins Doughtie, a 60-year resident of the Lowcountry, is a sportsman, graphic artist, and lover of nature. collinsdoughtie@icloud.com

What you’re missing in your hurricane preparation plan

By Dave Miller CONTRIBUTOR

For most, being “hurricane ready” often involves a list of what to store and cover for their home’s outdoor items, destinations to evacuate to, important documents to grab and the typical home interior tasks (unplugging appliances, food removal, pets, etc.).

However, this plan is made for leaving your house in case of an actual hurricane looming.

What often is missing is a plan for a downgraded hurricane or severe storm – when the decision is made to stay.

Our homes are comforted with the convenience of 24/7 electricity, air conditioning, chilled food, ice and water, internet Wi-Fi, plumbing and more. When severe storms can take out easy to access utilities (and sometimes for extended periods of time), it’s better to have a plan B ready to keep your family safe and secure during the storm outages, with power.

How? Generators are often the one piece of equipment many people wish they had for their home after the need arises for one.

It’s easy to think of backup generators for major power disruptions, but with hurricane and tropical storm season upon us in

the Lowcountry, it could be your best tool in your tool bag to have for both lengthy and shorter power outages.

You might already be thinking of the old-school, gas-powered portable generators that required you to drag out your equipment and pull start (a few times!) to get your power started before you plug in your essentials.

Today, we find lighter in weight, convenient, automatic with monitoring, and easy to operate backup generators available to consumers and at an affordable price.

Within seconds of a utility power disrup-

tion, your generator can be ready to power your property! It can make life a little more comfortable during any type of storm that knocks out or severely reduces power strength.

Let’s not forget that adding a backup generator to your hurricane and storm preparedness plan means hiring an experienced company with experienced technicians. They can help you choose the best fit for your home as well as plan for safe and correct installation. They will also assist you in understanding the capacity of a generator, the appliances that can be used on it, how to operate, and more.

Having a backup plan that includes a generator will bring you less worry and fuss before, during and after a storm. It’s a smart investment for safety and comfort.
