R
egistration is now open for the Annual
Mount Pleasant Charity Open at
Patriots Point Links on Charleston
Harbor. The popular charity golf tournament
will return for the sixth year from July
27-29. Each year Patriots Point selects a
tournament beneficiary, and the team is
excited to announce that proceeds from the
2018 event will once again go towards Bert’s
Big Adventure.

Big Adventure prides itself on creating
programs and fostering a community that
goes beyond the five-day trip. Following
the annual trip to Walt Disney World, the
organization provides year-round support
through initiatives such as the Reunion
Wando students build
Adventures, the Fairy Godparent volunteer
program and additional charitable services.
Bert’s Big Adventure was co-founded by
Bert Weiss of the popular Charleston-area BY EMMA WOODHAM
morning show, The Bert Show on 95SX. STAFF WRITER FOR THE ISLAND EYE NEWS
Patriots Point first selected Bert’s Big

Adventure as the beneficiary for the 5th
Annual Mount Pleasant Charity Open in
2017. Last year the Pro/Am raised $6,000,
bringing the total amount raised over
the past five years to $21,000. Previous
beneficiaries include area cancer patients
and the American Cancer Society.
“It is important to everyone at Patriots
Point that we remain actively involved in
the Charleston community and continue to
give back,” said Brad Parker, PGA, General
Manager of Patriots Point. “We are honored
to once again be working with the incredibly
passionate team at Bert’s Big Adventure, and
we look forward to doing our part to create
a magical experience for deserving families.”
A
small group of Wando High School
students chose to spend a portion of their
summer working on an unusual project:
building a fully-functional, Tiny House.
In June 2017, Wando HS was approached
by the Charleston Home Builder’s Association
about creating a scholarship opportunity
for students, to promote and encourage
job and education opportunities within the
construction trade industry. During that
meeting, the concept of constructing a Tiny
House was suggested. When Katie Johnston,
an Engineering teacher at Wando HS, and her
fellow department members heard the idea,
they were thrilled.

Sullivan’s Island Town Meeting
C I T I Z E N S D I S A P P R O V E R E Z O N I N G , D E C R E A S E E X P E C T E D I N WAT E R B I L L S
A
ll members of the Sullivan’s
Island Town Council were
present for the regularly
scheduled meeting on Tuesday,
June 19. When given the
opportunity, several citizens
addressed the council regarding
the recently suggested zoning
change to areas behind the
commercial district buildings.
During a recent public safety
meeting, it was discussed that
these residential lots should
be rezoned for commercial use,
specifically, parking lots.
Heidi Brown, a resident Station
22 St., pointed out that a previous
council decided not to take this
action nearly a decade ago. She
stated that if the current council
chooses to rezone these lots, she
feels that it will undermine the
trust that residents have in their
elected leaders.
Pat Votava, a resident of Jasper
Blvd., said that she keeps the
campaign literature of every single
candidate who runs for election on
the island.
“I looked back this week and got
out all the post cards that everyone
sent and reread them, and every
single member of council talks
about preserving the residential
nature of Sullivan’s Island and
CIVIC

STAFF WRITER FOR THE ISLAND EYE NEWS
quality of life for its residents,”
Votava said.
Votava added that she was
appalled that members of the
council would consider rezoning
for the purpose of a parking lot.
She agreed that this would break
the faith that island residents
have in the town council.
Andy Kay, who also lives on
Jasper Blvd., believes that the
council should consider the safety
issue of potentially rezoning
certain lots for commercial use.
He already deals with traffic from
the commercial district on the
island, and says people drive by
his house at alarming speeds,
trying to avoid the main section of
the commercial district.
Several other island residents
expressed their frustration with
the possibility of this rezoning and
pleaded with council members to
keep the lots zoned for residential
use only.
Following these comments,
members of the council approved
the minutes from the previous
meeting. Mayor Pat O’Neil
presented the third readings of
ordinances 2018-01, 2018-02,
and 2018-03. 2018-01 and 2018-
02 related to the budget for the
Water & Sewer Department and
the General Fund budget for the
coming year. Ordinance 2018-03
allows the Town of Sullivan’s Island
to finance the planned updates to
the wastewater treatment facility.
All three ordinances were approved
unanimously by the council.
Ordinance 2018-04 was
presented for the first time,
providing for the issuance and
sale of General Obligation bonds
not exceeding one million-one
hundred dollars. This ordinance
is the mechanism that will allow
the town to make the first of the
annual principal and interest
payments on the bonds, which
the prior ordinance authorized to
be issued, Mayor O’Neil explained.
Lastly, the council approved the
resolution to increase Water &
Sewer fees for Fiscal Year 2019.
Councilmember Bachman Smith
pointed out that this is less than
half the cost of last year’s increase
and is primarily related to an
increase in the cost of living.
Mayor O’Neil had nothing new to
report, nor did Town Administrator
Andy Benke. Neither the chairman
of the Finance Committee nor the
chairman of the Administration
Committee had anything new to
report either.
In his Water & Sewer Committee
report, Councilmember Smith
noted that single-family residents
should see a reduction in their
bills with the new rate structure
and some commercial owners will
see an increase. He also added
that the sewer line replacement
between Poe Ave. and Citadel
St. is moving along, and that the
department has completed the
community outreach for a project
he believes is long overdue.
In the Public Safety Committee
report, Councilmember Chauncey
Clark reminded everyone that
parking has become a big issue
on the island. He presented
a recommendation to restrict
parking to one side of the street
along Middle St. from Station 20
½ to Station 18 and Station 22
½ to Station 26. Councilmember
Clark said that the committee
is recommending this based on
advice from the Police Chief and
Fire Chief, and that it will help
clear space on the busy street so
that emergency vehicles can get
through easily when necessary.
All members of the council voted
in favor.

Publisher of the

I
hope everyone enjoyed the
best fireworks show in town. It
was good to see familiar faces
enjoying the holiday. I want to give
a big thank you to the Fire and
Police Departments for keeping
us safe during one of our busiest
days.
Let me update you on the
progress on some of the City’s
major projects.
At the City Council meeting
on June 26, my colleagues and I
passed two ordinances that put
in place much needed changes to
the Managed Beach Parking Plan.
These changes are a direct result
of citizens’ input and include:
• Parallel parking only on Palm
Blvd. between 21st and 40th
Aves.
• No double-parking on Palm
Blvd. between 21st and 40th
Aves.
• Year-round enforcement of
the parking plan
of street signs associated with
these changes. The deadline for
the submission of bids is 11 a.m.,
July 23. We are excited to see
these changes implemented as
they are meant to increase public
safety and protect the residential
character of the island.
The Planning Commission is
helping City Council address one
of the City’s biggest initiatives for
the new fiscal year. Improving the
City’s drainage infrastructure has
become one of our top priorities
and as such, City Council included
$400,000 in the FY19 budget
to undertake a comprehensive
redesign of the drainage outfalls
at 30th Ave., 3605 Waterway
Blvd. and 41st Ave.
Under the guidance of Douglas
Kerr, the City’s Building,
Planning and Zoning Director,
the Commission is working on the
documents that will allow the City

“Our engineering club was

The project was divided into
three different phases—one to

one to design the interior of
the house, and one to actually
construct the Tiny House.
Phase I was completed in
October 2017, and Wando
students presented their plans to
CHBA, who picked three different
designs.
In Phase II, students worked
to design floor plans, sections,
elevations, renderings, and also

he Isle of Palms City Council
met for their regularly
scheduled meeting on
Tuesday, June 26. All members
of council were present except for
Councilmember Ted Kinghorn.
Following the invocation and
Pledge of Allegiance and approval
of minutes from the previous
meeting, Mayor Jimmy Carroll
opened the floor to citizens’
comments.
Chuck Bargeron from Sail Series
Promotions USA addressed the
council regarding the Worrell 1000
Reunion Race, a catamaran boat
race that begins in Ft. Lauderdale,
FL and ends in Virginia Beach,
VA. Teams race their boats up the
coastline, and stop overnight along
the way at different checkpoints.
Bargeron asked that the city
permit them to have a checkpoint
on Isle of Palms. Many years ago,
IOP was a checkpoint, but the
race hasn’t taken place in a long
time. According to Bargeron,
this overnight stop for the teams
would happen Mother’s Day

weekend of 2019. Teams from all
over the world, including Olympic
medalists, will likely be competing.
“You keep the continent on your
right and sail North as fast as you
can,” Bargeron said.
Several members of council
expressed their concern about the
public safety aspect of having up to
thirty catamaran boats parked on
Front Beach overnight, and Mayor
Carroll asked Bargeron if the race
committee would consider paying
the cost of overtime for two extra
police officers, per Interim Police
Chief Usry’s recommendation.
Bargeron said he will speak to
his committee about covering this
additional cost.
After some discussion, the
council voted in favor of allowing
Sail Series Promotions USA to use
IOP as a checkpoint for the Worrall
1000 race.
“We don’t see a lot of sailing here,
and I’m excited that we are going to
bring this back,” Councilmember
Susan Hill Smith said.
Collete Holmes of 3rd Ave.
addressed council regarding traffic
issues on the island, particularly
the traffic that backs up at the
entrance of Wild Dunes. She
believes that Wild Dunes needs
to work on traffic management
and that the city needs to work on
solutions to traffic and parking on
the island, including the possibility
of a trolley running back and forth
to the island from Mt. Pleasant.
Rusty Streetman, a resident of
Palm Blvd., said he doesn’t even
try to leave his house on Saturdays
because of traffic on the island.
Bill Campbell, who lives on
42nd Ave., is concerned about
the operation of golf carts on the
island. He stated that he often sees
them being driven by someone too
young or with too many people
piled on. Campbell expressed his
concern for the consequences of a
golf cart and vehicle collision.
Following citizens’ comments,
a resolution was proposed to
create the Leola Hanbury Award.
Hanbury, who passed away in
2017, dedicated time and effort to
the city during her lifetime. She
also established the Employee
of the Year award, donating her
own money as prize. Scott Morris,
executor of Hanbury’s estate,
presented the city with a check
for over twenty-five thousand
dollars to be used for Employee
of the Month awards in years
to come. The resolution passed
unanimously.
In the Ways & Means Committee
report, Councilmember Jimmy
Ward asked for approval of a surf-
cam for the Carolina Coast Club in
the amount of $1000 from ATAX
funds as well as approval for an
overage of $259 for the purchased
ATV. Both items were approved
unanimously.
Councilmember Smith reported
that the Public Safety Committee
discussed the qualities that they
are looking for in a police chief,
since the position is currently
open. She noted that the committee
heard from two residents, one
asking for off-leash times in the
evening for dogs and one asking
that no changes be made to the
dog regulations.
Councilmember Ward asked to
suspend the rules of the meeting
so that an item of miscellaneous
business could be discussed—
one that many residents in
attendance were eager to hear.
Carolina Salt Surf, who offers
surfing lessons on Folly Beach, is
seeking to offer surfing lessons at
the Wild Dunes Grand Pavilion.
Wild Dunes has already given
their approval. The company now
seeks approval from City Council.
Douglas Kerr, Director of
Building, Planning, and Zoning,
stated that there are two different
ways that the city could allow
these lessons, but that this will
ultimately open the door to many
other businesses who want to do
something similar.
Kyle Busey, a professional
surfer who will be offering the
instruction, stated that he
believes lessons will help locals
surf safely.
“Teaching people how to use
their surfboards properly is
important,” Busey said.
Councilmember Bell asked
if allowing businesses like this
to operate could be restricted
to Wild Dunes exclusively, but
acting City Administrator Desiree
Fragoso is unsure if this is an
option. Councilmember Rice
suggested the city examine some
of the codes and ordinances that
relate to this sort of situation.
Councilmember Smith added that
the council should look at how to
allow surf lessons to be offered
to all island residents—not just
guests and residents of Wild
Dunes. A representative from
Wild Dunes noted that island-
residents could also sign up for
the lessons that would be held at
the Grand Pavilion. Ultimately,
the council determined that more
research on how and if this could
be allowed needs to be done, and
no decision was made.
The Public Works and
Recreation Committees did not
meet in June, but Councilmember
Sandy Ferencz presented a report
from the Personnel Committee.
In their meeting, several search
firms were discussed, and one of
these firms will be used to help
in the search process for the open
positions that the city currently
has. Currently, the Personnel
Committee has identified their top
picks, and they are now reaching
out to past clients of each firm
for feedback. The committee is
also working to establish the top
qualities that they are looking for
in candidates, but they did firmly
establish a job description for
the role of Assistant Director of
Maintenance & Facilities.
Councilmember Ferencz made
a motion to approve Patrol Officer
Phillips as Employee of the Month.
All members of council approved.
Councilmember Bell stated
that parking is still the biggest
issue being discussed in the Real
Property Committee. He noted
that Michael Fiem, owner of
Tidalwave Watersports, brought
up the idea of starting a bike-
sharing program on the island
and possibly partnering with Mt.
Pleasant in the hopes that some
island visitors might bike over
instead of drive, thereby reducing
traffic. Chris Crolley, owner of
Coastal Expeditions, spoke to the
committee and asked that they
please work on the overcrowding
of the marina.
Councilmember Bell proposed
that Ordinance 2018-09, which
relates to parking be sent back to
the Real Property Committee so
that it can be fine-tuned. He does
not believe that the ordinance is
ready to be voted on, and Douglas
Kerr agreed with him. Lastly, Bell
noted that the City has issued
a request for proposals for the
engineer, design, and permitting
portion of the marina and dock
repairs.
Kerr stated that the Planning
Commission is still working on
drainage issues and they are
drafting a request for proposals
for the next phase of work that
needs to be done, which will be
both expensive and complex. All
members of council were in favor
of moving forward with seeking
bids, but it was noted that these
bids will be for the planning and
design of the project, not the
actual work.
7
Mayor Carroll presented the
second reading of Ordinance
2018-05, which relates to parallel
parking on portions of Palm Blvd.
and invokes year-round parking
enforcement on the island.
Councilmember Rice said she is
not in favor of this ordinance, and
her vote was the one opposing
vote.
Mayor Carroll also presented
the second reading of 2018-
10, which primarily deals with
prohibiting boat trailer parking
on Waterway Blvd. and 41st Ave.
Councilmember Rice insisted that
certain areas should allow boat
trailer parking for residents, but
Councilmember Ferencz stated
that this is a blatant public safety
issue. The second reading passed.
The first readings of three
new ordinances were all waived
unanimously by the council. In
the last order of business, Mayor
Carroll discussed a general
permit for sand fencing island-
wide where residents would be
able to construct sand-fencing in
front of their homes. Interim City
Administrator Fragoso will work
to get the permit, and all members
of the council were in favor.
The next meeting of the Isle
of Palms City Council will be on
Tuesday, July 24 at 6 p.m.

weak to crawl back to the water
after stranding itself on the
beach. Adult loggerheads can
weigh 300-400 lbs. Adrian was
able to locate the number for
the SC Department of Resources
to find out what they should
do. The emergency number is
1.800.522.5431. Fortunately
DNR called the Island Turtle
Team authorized transporters
to meet the Honeycutts at the
Marina to take the turtle to the
Sea Turtle Care Center at the SC
Aquarium.
This young loggerhead had a
load of large and small barnacles
and blood in its mouth. Barnacles
sometimes are an indication that
a turtle has been stationary and
not swimming or moving around
much, sometimes an indicator of
lethargy or a chronic condition
of poor health. Part of the left
front flipper was missing and
there appeared to be an old
healed wound on that flipper
from entanglement possibly with
a crab trap rope. At this life stage
it is impossible to determine the
sex of a loggerhead without an
endoscopic exam or a DNA blood
test. On arrival at the Aquarium

the
turtle was examined,
given fluids for rehydration
and had blood drawn by Dr.
Shane Boylan, the Aquarium’s
veterinarian, who said that this
turtle was emaciated. The blood
test showed a low protein level
from not having eaten recently.
After doing an eye exam, he
also said that he suspected
neurological problems, possibly
because of trauma from a head
injury.
Since they are currently
naming turtles admitted for
Harry Potter characters, this one
was called Hedwig (for the Snowy
Owl). When it was put into a
tank of water after the admission
exam, it swam well. After a week
in care Willow Melamet, Manager
of the Sea Turtle Care Center said,
“Hedwig is eating and defecating.
He (or she) continues to improve,
is still on antibiotics but is active
and alert. Hedwig is expected to
make a full recovery.”

espite threatening
skies, more than
50 volunteers
showed up to Isle of
Palms Cleanup Crew's
kickoff beach sweep June
25 at Front Beach, and
while they dug in and
made a serious dent,
they still didn't get all
the trash. Dedicated to
protecting beach and
ocean ecosystems, the
sweeps will continue
through Labor Day each
Monday from 5:30 to
6:30 p.m., and everyone
is invited. After meeting
on the beach by the city
restrooms and picking
up for half an hour,
volunteers can kick
back at a Front Beach
restaurant. The July
9 sweep will be hosted
by the The Dinghy.
You can follow Isle of
Palms Cleanup Crew on
Facebook and sign up
for email updates, but no
advance registration is
required.

E
xcitement is building for
the IOP Exchange Club’s
next big event, to be held
Nov. 10 at the Isle of Palms
Marina. The festival fundraiser,
to support the construction of a
dock to be used for community
programming, will feature live
country music, water excursions
and a raffle that includes a one-
of-a-kind, autographed guitar,
courtesy of Audio Productions,
Inc.
The guitar has been in residence
at the Nashville recording studio
for several months and is
collecting big, industry recording
star signatures, including Blake
Shelton, Little Big Town, Irlene
Mandrell and most recently Keith
Urban and Kenny Chesney. The
value of this collector’s item is
priceless, but raffle tickets will be
available for just $20.
Tickets for a chance to win the
guitar, and other prizes including
a golf cart and vacation packages,
will be available online closer to
the event date.
The Exchange Club’s
transformative project to
access the waterfront with
a seawall, dock, boardwalk,
and other improvements, will
enrich the Club’s service to the
community, veterans groups,
and at-risk children by providing
these groups access to island
waterways and sports, fishing
and educational programs.

Earlier in June, Blake Shelton added his name to the growing list of stars contributing
to the IOP Exchange Club fundraiser.

On June 28, Keith Urban and Kenny Chesney added their names to the IOP
Exchange Club’s guitar.

CCPRC hosting new Youth Triathlon in July

O P E N T O A G E S 7 - 1 4 , F E AT U R E S O P E N S W I M

BY SARAH REYNOLDS
FOR THE ISLAND EYE NEWS

I
n conjunction with youth
and junior triathlon coaching
specialists Palmetto TRIbe,
the Charleston County Park and
Recreation Commission (CCPRC)
will host its first ever Youth
Triathlon on July 28 at James
Island County Park. The event
will be open to ages 7 to 14 and
will be the first in the area to offer
an open-water swim.
The multi-sport event will be
held on a safe, well-monitored
course within James Island
County Park. The swim portion
will take place in the park’s lake.
After the swim, participants will
traverse the shaded paths and
roads inside the park for the bike
and run legs of the race.
“The Youth Triathlon is a
natural progression of our
Charleston Sprint Triathlon Series
for adults,” said CCPRC Fitness
and Wellness Programming
Manager Allison Foster. “The
event furthers our goals to create
a culture that encourages youth
to become more active in a fun,
welcoming environment. The
benefits of increasing physical
activity run deep. It dovetails
with higher self-esteem, self-
discipline, confidence, team and
leadership skills.”
The race will begin at 7:15
a.m. on Saturday, July 28. The
course is contained inside the
park and the open water swim
will be monitored by CCPRC’s
safety and lifeguarding team.
Distances will vary based on
the age of the participants. Ages
7-10 will complete a one-course
loop featuring a 100-yard swim,
a 1.5-mile bike and a 1-mile run.
Ages 11-14 will make their way
through two loops to complete a
200-yard swim, a 3-mile bike and
a 2-mile run.
All finishers will receive a
medal, and age group awards
will also be presented to the top
three males and females in the
age categories of ages 7-8, 9-10,
11-12 and 13-14. Registration
is $45, and is available at
CharlestonCountyParks.com or
by calling 843.795.4386.
“We are so excited that the first
open water swim youth triathlon
race has come to Charleston,” said
Shana Fitch, coach and founder
of Palmetto TRIbe. “We are huge
advocates of kids being involved
in sports where everyone is able
to work hard at practice and also
experience the treat of racing.
Swimming, biking and running is
something most all children tend
to enjoy from the onset. We find
in our training programs that it’s
a natural progression for them to
put the three sports together in
triathlon training for an awesome
practice and race experience.”
Palmetto TRIbe coaches will
conduct a Youth Tri Swim Clinic
Monday, July 23 from 6-7 p.m. at
James Island County Park for an
additional fee. This is an excellent
opportunity for participants to
become more familiar with the
actual swim course before the
event. For more information
on the clinic or to register, visit
CharlestonCountyParks.com.
The adult-focused Charleston
Sprint Triathlon Series is a five-
race series spanning May through
August. This series is in its 28th
year and is also held at James
Island County Park, with a 600-
yard swim, a 12-mile bike ride,
and a 5K run. The 2018 races are
held on May 20, June 17, July 8,
and July 29 and Aug. 12.
For more information on the
Youth Triathlon, the Youth Tri
Swim Clinic, the Charleston
Sprint Triathlon, or to register,

or call 843.795.4386. For youth
and junior triathlon coaching
