Sullivan’s Island Mayor’s Message
Dear Island Neighbors,
I hope you are enjoying the fall changes that we enjoy in our special
place, which may not include spectacular tree colors, but certainly
feature the clearest light we get all year, the marsh grass going golden
in that light, and hopefully some cool, dry days.
And as we are in late October, approaching early November, I
have a few timely items, also a new offering from the Town for your
convenience. For starters, we have two scary events impending:
Halloween and an election.
BOO!!!...PART 1
Nightmare on Middle Street: If you don’t often make it down
(toward the Fort) Middle St. past Town Hall and the Fire Station,
you may be missing our most creative Island Halloween display. The
“gingerbread house” at the corner of Middle and Station 20, home of
great Islanders (and internationally renowned photographers) Callie
Shell and Vince Musi, is every year the site of the most inventive
Halloween yard display you will see.
This year’s theme is “Last Dance” and features the Michael Myers
character (from the “Halloween” movies) as the DJ. Vince says it is
“kind of a riff on a homecoming dance with zombies”. Hmm, I think
that’s how I heard my last high school class reunion described by a
young server who was working it, but let’s move on.
Don’t miss the chance to check out this display; however, please
respect the homeowners and stay on the sidewalk or street.
BOO!!!...PART 2
Of course, Halloween evening is a much-anticipated date when
young Wonder Women and Black Panthers will be out and about
hustling willing residents for goodies. What fun!
But please remember that it will be much more fun if a few safety
precautions are observed by all concerned: trick-or-treaters, their
parents, and motorists. Our Chief of Police, Chris Griffin has this
Halloween advice:
1. Kids and parents should be sure they are visible to motorists.
Use clothing, shoes and bags that are reflective, sport some light
sticks or flashlights, and stay in groups.
www.islandeyenews.com
October 26, 2018
2. Homeowners participating in trick-or-treat normally leave their
front lights on. If they are not participating, they should keep the
front lights out. (And please remember, there are any number of
reasons why folks may not participate, that have nothing to do
with whether they like Halloween.)
3. Drivers: Please recall that trick-or-treating starts earlier on Oct.
31 than it may have started when you were a kid, and please drive
much more slowly and cautiously than you otherwise might. Ask
yourself: How much did you worry about oncoming cars when
you were a kid trick-or-treating?
4. Starting at 5 p.m. Halloween (Wednesday, Oct. 31), your fine
police officers will again be protecting I’on Ave. on Officers’ Row
(between Stations 17 and 18) for free-range trick-or-treating.
And the officers will have their own goodies to hand out and a
Humvee or two for the kids to clamber aboard.
5. Please review the other Halloween safety tips at bit.ly/2EvA3WI.
ELECTION DAY IS TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 6
We have no Town positions up on this day (our municipal elections
are in May of odd-numbered years), but we have many very important
positions up for grabs this election: Governor, Congressional
Representative, State House Representative, Charleston County
School District board members, etc.
These are all important positions, and each of us should cast a
ballot for whomever we like the most or dislike the least.
For Sullivan’s Island, as usual, our polling place is the Sunrise
Presbyterian Church at Breach Inlet, open on Tuesday, Nov. 6 from 7
a.m. to 7 p.m. There is info about required photo ID for voting, as well
as info for absentee voting in advance of Election Day if you qualify
for that, from the Charleston County Board of Voter Registration at
bit.ly/2Otve4C .
We all should thank Pastor Vance Polley of Sunrise, and his
congregation, for their continued generosity and hospitality in
providing our polling place.
OCTOBER IS FIRE PREVENTION MONTH
Our Fire Chief, Anthony Stith reminds us to check our smoke
detectors in October and replace the batteries. If you don’t have
any smoke detectors, get some! And I advise you to sign on with a
monitoring system that will be alerted if your detectors go off when
you are away or soundly asleep, so that our great Fire Department
can be alerted without you having to do anything. If no one hears
your smoke detector alarm, it will not help.
MOBILE311.COM REPORTING PORTAL FOR TOWN SERVICE
REQUESTS
We have recently incorporated SI Mobile 3-1-1 into our Town
communications portfolio. If you have requests or questions about
your garbage or trash pickup, you can simply go to bit.ly/2AhbSHc
and report it. Setting up an account is very easy (I did it on my first
try) and your report goes to one of our wonderful non-robot folks
right here in Town Hall for their personal attention. They will reply
to your request promptly; while this is staffed only during Town Hall
business hours, the service allows you to submit your issue online at
any time, so you don’t have to remember to call at a later date.
We will soon be expanding the range of issues that you can address
via this platform; please stay tuned and check out the Town website.
See you around the island!

BY GREGG BRAGG
ISLAND EYE NEWS STAFF WRITER
C
alling attendance at the Oct. 16 Council
meeting for the Town of Sullivan’s
Island (TOSI) “robust” is probably an
understatement. Residents streamed into council
chambers well in advance of the scheduled start
time, and standing room was the only option by the
time the gavel fell at 6 p.m. The Town’s annual audit
was on the agenda, along with the expectation a
decision would be made on how TOSI will manage
its maritime forest/accreted land/transition zone
in the future.
There are approximately 60 million square miles
of land on the planet, and 13,000 of those miles are
considered “barrier islands,” with the single biggest
pocket of the category occurring in the Arctic.
Although the previous numbers were gleaned from
the internet, they provide a window into the rarity
of a place like Sullivan’s Island.
Mayor O’Neil felt obliged to remind the room
Sullivan’s is a small island (e.g. friends and
neighbors all) as he opened the floor to citizens'
comments urging civility. There would be a strict
two-minute limit on comments, and reactions like
booing, hissing, clapping, cheering were strongly
discouraged. O’Neil concluded his level setting,
and the parade to the podium began.
Three attendees spoke in favor of TOSI’s ban
on plastics, while over a dozen people rendered
informed opinions on managing the transition zone
including: Cindy Ewing, Penn Haygood, Susan
Middaugh, Roy Williams, Dean Kilpatrick, Alison
Bourland, Mike Walsh, Jim Burns, Kimberly
Brown, a representative of the Audobon Society
and Maria Andrews.
Some of the many points made on both sides
included:
• There’s never been a maritime forest fire on SI
• It’s a fire hazard
• It’s not a fire hazard according to the experts
at Firewise
• It’s a buffer against erosion, flooding and
hurricane damage (several residents claimed
it stemmed damage during hurricane Hugo)
• Owners of adjacent lots should not be able to
cut on land they don’t own
• What legacy does the Town want for its
administration
• Its existence contributes to lower insurance
rates
• Take care of our land so it can take care of us
• If unchecked, it’s an eyesore
• It’s a valued, beautiful and coveted resource
• It’s a breeding ground for coyotes

to have such loyal, dedicated employees.” Carroll expounded upon
the City’s past efforts to express its appreciation to its employees.
“We started out at The Windjammer, but that became a ‘political’
thing, with mainly councilpeople and their friends in attendance.
We tried bringing everyone together for a Riverdogs game, and at the
Aquarium…but had only about 25% participation.”
“We are in debt to everyone here for making IOP such a great
place to live,” Mayor Carroll pronounced. “Thank you for being part
of the City Family.”
The atmosphere was decidedly familial, with off-duty police officers
and firefighters joshing like siblings, some with their spouses and
children in tow. Starting as a dispatcher 21 years ago, after having
grown up on the island, Interim Chief of Police Kim Usry stated,
“Coming to work is like coming home. It’s awesome…I couldn’t ask
for anything better.”
The only thing missing from this family is dysfunction…

“Today is about the employees, about longevity and milestones.”
“It’s a beautiful day under the Big Top,” quipped Councilman Ted

employees deserve this.”

preserve their property in the same state it was in when they bought
it (e.g. little or no maritime forest). TOSI forged ahead, adding detail
to the plan, which was approved for a vote after a meeting in early
2016.
The plan included:
Band I (0-40 feet):
• All non-native invasive species of flora shall be eradicated
• All trees > 6” DBH shall be retained, except cedar and pine species
• All understory, shrubs (including myrtles), cedar and pine species
and small trees (defined as < 6” DBH) shall be removed
Band II (40-100 feet):
• All non-native invasive species of flora shall be eradicated
• All trees shall be retained within this band
• Where the band is adjacent to the forest areas: all understory,
shrubs and myrtles shall be removed
• Where the band is adjacent to grasslands, shrub and non-
forest areas: three-quarters (75%) of all existing myrtles shall be
removed as will any that sprout in their place. 25% of myrtles
shall remain in those areas where myrtles currently exist
Action on the above was deferred until the SC Court settled the
lawsuit in the Town’s favor in August 2018, clearing the way for TOSI
to proceed.
Council member Smith moved to amend the proposal reducing
actions associated with Band I to thirty feet, and keep trees >3”. He
garnered the votes of councilmembers Campbell and Langley, but
the amendment failed.
Councilmember Chauncey Clark offered his own amendment,
which involved expanding the actions in Band I to 60 feet among
other things, but couldn’t muster the votes. Council then returned
to core proposal detailed above, and couldn’t muster the votes. The
mayor closed the matter with a vow to address the matter at the
earliest possible date, but because the state is involved a drawing
board may be required.
The Town’s attorney announced completion of a year’s work on
TOSI’s comprehensive plan, and the finance department proposed
a 2% tax increase on property and business licenses (validation by
ordinance required), and building permits (validation by resolution
required).
Councilmember Tim Reese announced plans to increase dog
licensing fees by $15.
Exhausted, council then addressed the remaining agenda item; an
executive session for “Personnel – review of applications for terms…”
but decided it could wait for another time, and moved to adjourn
after 2 hours, 40 minutes and 47 seconds of vigorous debate. The
motion passed unanimously.

ervice is nothing new to the Isle of Palms
Exchange Club, which has been working with
and contributing to worthwhile children’s and
veterans causes for years. Providing direct service to
these causes, however, is a whole new direction for the
group.
The construction of a new bulkhead and dock,
along with landside improvements to create a park-
like atmosphere, is the IOP Exchange Club’s most
ambitious project to date, and this legacy community
service program will usher the club into a whole new
era.
“The Legacy Program is transformative for the club,”
says member and project coordinator Ted Kinghorn. “It
allows us to essentially ‘open for business’ to work with
nonprofits in a hands on way.”
The Waterfront Improvement Committee, chaired
by Patrick Harrington, introduced the idea of a public
access dock to Exchange Club members in April of
2017. The project, approved by a 75% vote, is expected
to cost $300,000, which includes an adaptive use dock,
a bulkhead that runs along the waterfront, concrete
walkways that allow for wheelchair access through a

beautified landscape, expanded patio and improved

Currently, the club has raised over half of its
goal through membership contributions, business
sponsorships and public fundraising events, like the
Marina Fest scheduled for Nov. 4. “We have secured
over $100,000 and have another $65,000 in pledges,”
says Harrington. “Through the Marina Fest we hope to
really see the community support for this project.”
The Sunday afternoon event features live music,
watersports, food and fun for the whole family.
Included in the event is a raffle drawing for numerous,
unique items including a hand-built wooden boat
and a one-of-a-kind autographed guitar that features
the signatures of nearly 20 country music recording
superstars, including Blake Shelton, Carrie Underwood
and Charleston’s own Darius Rucker, just to name a
few. Participants will also be eligible to win over 24
door prizes.

Artist rendering of the enhanced IOP
Exchange Club property features, dock,
bulkhead and wheelchair accessible walkways.
Once completed, the waterfront access project will
allow numerous nonprofit groups to host programs
in collaboration with the IOP Exchange Club, serving
veterans, families and children’s groups. The Exchange
club has long supported local youth, particularly
working with Darkness to Light and Charleston HALOS
to prevent child abuse, and The Lonon Foundation to
provide support to children who have been affected by
their parent’s cancer.
“We already have relationships with these groups,”
explains Barby Harrington, past Exchange President
and Chair of the IOPCC, the fundraising arm of the
IOP Exchange Club. “We’ll now be able to explore
and create opportunities for programs with greater
resources and accessibility.” The dock will provide
a safe entrance to Hamlin Creek, the calm back
water of the island, allowing for non-motorized boat
launch, fishing and other low-impact watersports and
educational programs.
In addition to the benefit of inviting nonprofit
participation with the new dock, it is expected to
enhance event revenue for the Club. The new plans will
increase the patio capacity by 35%, which significantly
increases capacity for events like the Exchange Club’s
annual oyster roast.
“The Exchange Club patio is one of the best places to
see the sunset,” declares Kinghorn. “Now we’ll be able
to share that with more people, especially people who
may not have had the opportunity to see that before.”

Registration open for Festival of Lights

T I C K E T S L I M I T E D F O R F U N R U N A N D W A L K N O V. 7 & 8

BY SARAH REYNOLDS
FOR ISLAND EYE NEWS

R
unners and walkers of all experience levels are
invited to traverse through hundreds of
spectacular light displays that fascinate
thousands every holiday season. This year’s
Holiday Festival of Lights Fun Run and Walk
takes place on Nov. 7 and 8 at James Island
County Park.
This unique event offers participants an
extraordinary opportunity to see the lights on foot
before the festival opens to the general public and
vehicular traffic. This two-mile, non-competitive run/
walk is offered on two evenings before the festival’s opening
– Wednesday, Nov. 7 and Thursday, Nov. 8. Registration is now open at
CharlestonCountyParks.com.
Much of the Holiday Festival of Lights is normally seen from a vehicle,
so the Fun Run and Walk offers a leisurely opportunity to explore the
displays up close. Participants will get a preview of the festival’s 700+
illuminated displays during the run/walk. Then, families can enjoy all
of the very merry amenities that the festival offers, including gift shops,
marshmallow roasting, train and carousel rides, and much more.
Advance registration is required for the Fun Run and Walk. Interested
participants are encouraged to register now before it sells out. Register
by phone at 843.795.4386 or online at CharlestonCountyParks.com by
3 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 7. Race fees are $12. Rates increase to $15
per person after Nov. 7. Move It Pass holders receive a discounted rate
of $10 per ticket. Ages 2 and under are free, but will still need a ticket
to gain entry into the park. This is a wheelchair and stroller-friendly
course. Socialized dogs on short, non-retractable leashes are welcome.
Retractable leashes, bicycles, skateboards, rollerblades and scooters are
not permitted.
All participants must be pre-registered and have an admission ticket
to enter the park. There will be no on-site ticket sales. James Island
County Park will close to traffic at 6:30 p.m.; therefore, participants are
encouraged to arrive early. Flashlights are recommended for optimal
visibility. The park will reopen to traffic at approximately 8:30 p.m.
The Holiday Festival of Lights opens to the general public on Nov. 9 and
will be open nightly through Jan. 1, 2019, at James Island County Park.
The Holiday Festival of Lights and the Fun Run and Walk are presented
by The Boeing Company, Chick-fil-A and your Charleston County Parks.
