Letters to the Editor...Dear Editor,
It is laudable that Councilmember Buckhannon has announced
he is running for Mayor of the City of Isle of Palms. Public service
is always laudable. However, I take exception with the quote in his
announcement "In June 2011, Councilman Buckhannon was the
only member on Council to vote against installing parking nodes…”
The record shows that Councilmember Buckhannon did in fact vote
for the parking nodes budget in the Special Ways and Means meeting
on June 6, 2011. Now he says he did not. The question becomes, is
he ip opping, mistaken, or advantageously mis-remembering the
facts!
Also, it would be more accurate to say that he votes against the
police, the remen, the public works department, and the City
administration, which he has done for the past three years, when
he votes against the City's budget ... and now he wants to be Mayor?
PS...Make sure you ask candidate Buckhannon for details (facts)
on the City's irresponsible spending.
Brian Duffy Councilmember 2008-2012

T he Association of South Carolina mayors met on Friday, July 19,
at the Municipal Association of South Carolina’s 73rd Annual
Meeting and elected new ofcers and board members. Isle of
Palms Mayor Dick Cronin was elected President of the Association. It
is an honor for me to work with so many great Mayors,” Cronin said.
“We all face similar problems; public works, roads, public safety,
State and Federal mandates, are common to all municipalities no
matter what size. The Association of SC Mayors allows us to learn the
best practices from each other.”
The Association of SC Mayors was formed in 2011 under the
umbrella of the Municipal Association of South Carolina to provide
opportunities for South Carolina mayors to more fully engage in
advocating for issues that affect cities and towns, to network, share
ideas and best practices with other mayors, and to take part in
educational activities. There are 130 members of the Association of
SC Mayors.
Congratulations, Mayor Cronin!

to several boat strike wounds
on the carapace (shell). "Mama
Prichard" was captured on the
beach and transported to the
Aquarium's Sea Turtle Hospital
where she received treatment for
20 months. Released in 2010,
Mama Prichard is the largest
sea turtle ever rehabilitated andreleased from the Aquarium's
Sea Turtle Hospital weighing 268
pounds. Mama Prichard turned
up again in the lowcountry!
Scientists from the University
of Georgia working closely with
the South Carolina Department
of Natural Resources on a DNA
study of loggerhead nests have
matched Mama Prichard's DNA to
a nest recently laid on Prichard's
Island. This is the rst time she
has been matched to a nest since
her release three years ago. This
story is a remarkable example
of the success of sea turtlerehabilitation for which limited
data is available. The Fripp
Island Turtle Team will continue
to monitor Mama Prichard's
nest.

Splinter, a 60-pound juvenile

caught on board the SCDNR
research vessel, the Lady Lisa , in
late May. The turtle was taken
to the Aquarium's Sea Turtle

be a large wooden splinter deeply
embedded in the right rear
ipper. The Aquarium's rescue
staff determined the material
lodged in the turtle's ipper was
actually a bill from a swordsh!
Splinter's treatment included
surgery to remove the bill,
antibiotics, uids, and wound
care. After just two months of
treatment, Splinter has been
medically cleared for release.Sutton:

“Much has been accomplished,”
he said. “We have weathered
the recession with our nances
in good order without raising
our property taxes; we have the
lowest millage in Charleston
County. We have been retiringour debt early and now have
an improved bond rating. Our
work on the critical issues
of preserving our beach and
welcoming our many visitors is
an ongoing and active initiative.”
Cronin continues to work with
legislators in Columbia to garner
funding for beach renourishment
and preservation through
tourist charges and taxes. The
legislation has passed through
the Senate and is awaiting action
in the House next year.
Cronin says that balancing
the needs of residents with
those of visitors will continue
to be imperative for the City in
coming years. In June, Cronin
received the Barrett Lawrimore
Leadership Award on behalf of
the Charleston Visitors Bureau
for “Outstanding Leadership in
Government,” an award which
Lt. Governor Glen McConnellreceived the year prior.
“We have achieved a great
deal during my term and with
continued strong support we
can do more. I look forward to
providing the leadership for our
future,” he says.
Mayor Cronin resides at
8 Marsh Point Lane with his
wife, Marcy. The couple has
three daughters. Kerry and
Becky live in Atlanta and Kim
lives in Raleigh. Cronin’s three
grandchildren, Jack, Allyson,

On Sunday, August 18, islanders will
have a chance to make a difference in
the lives of hundreds of children just
by playing cornhole.
Travel back to November 2005. Lisa Cates,
a fth grade teacher at St. Andrews School of
Math and Science, is adjusting to all of the
changes that come with a newborn baby for
the rst time.
But things are about to become even more
overwhelming. During a routine six-month
checkup for Cates’ new baby boy, Cooper, the
doctor notices a lump near Cooper’s abdomen.
Thinking that it was probably an enlarged
spleen or liver, the doctor decides to refer
Cooper to the MUSC oncology department.
After several scans and tests, Cates receives
the devastating news; Sixteen-pound baby
Cooper has a softball-sized tumor in his
stomach, weighing an entire pound.
The six-month-old baby was diagnosed with
stage four neuroblastoma, a rare childhood
cancer that attacks the nervous system and
affects about 650 children in the United States
each year. The disease is one of
the deadliest pediatric cancers.
“It was a nightmare,” Cooper’s
mom recalls. The prognosis
was devastating; doctors gave
Cooper a 20 percent chance
of survival. Treatments began
with the hope of prolonging the
baby’s life, but little hope for a
cure.
“We basically moved in to
MUSC for the next year and a
half,” Cates explains. Cooper
had to undergo seven rounds of
chemotherapy treatment, along
with numerous surgeries. After
the fth round of chemo, the cancer was still
present and doctors told the family that there
was nothing else they could do but continue
the treatment and hope for the best. “Usually
if the chemo is going to work, you would
know by the second or third treatment,”
Cates explains. “To get the news that it wasn’t
working…was terrible.” In a nal attempt to
give the baby a chance, his doctors at MUSCreferred Cooper to the Sloan Kettering Cancer
Center in New York City.
And then, something unexplainable
happened. “We were in New York, and we
got a call from MUSC. They said Cooper’s
last round of chemo worked. The MIBG scan

Rats, raccoons, palmettobugs, mosquitoes…just
a few of nature’s nest
that, unfortunately for us, enjoythe warm coastal breezes andsalty air of the lowcountry. Butwith the right attitude (and pestcontrol), we are learning to coexistwith the more unpleasant side of island living.
But there’s another four-leggedfriend that is making appearancesaround the island, and it is a lotcuter than some of its peers… theferal cat.
Feral cats are no stranger toSullivan’s Island, but in recent
years, numbers seem to haveescalated. Cats and kittens areturning up in neighborhoodsacross the island, making homesunder houses and in nearbyshrubs and bushes. So localresident Sarah Church hasdecided to take matters into herown hands to help out these furryfriends.
Church recently moved into anew home on I’On Avenue and
realized that several populationsof feral cats also made the move,as well. “I love cats,” Churchsays. “And after we moved, Inoticed there were so manyaround my yard…I realized thatif I wanted to help them, I neededto be proactive.”
In the last month, Churchcollaborated with LowcountryCritter Rescue to safely trap theferal cats. The cats are taken tothe center, spayed/neutered,then receive basic medical careand are checked for leukemia.After receiving care, the cats are
then released back into theirformer territory. CharlestonAnimal Society endorses this“Trap-Neuter-Return” (TNR)approach, and it has been foundto be the most effective solution

In the last issue of the Island Eye News , I
said we were waiting to see if our nesting
loggerhead that lays 160 something eggs
at two week intervals would come back
around the full moon in July. She did not.We believed that she was probably nished
for the season after laying Nest #7 on theIsle of Palms, Nest #3 on Sullivan’s, and Nest
#25 again on the Isle of Palms. Many of ournesters have probably laid their nal nests by
now and won’t be back for two or three years
to nest again.
On the last night of July, Isle of Palms
City Councilman Marty Bettelli went out inthe rain to check on Nest #3 at 31st Avenuefor signs of hatchlings. His wife, Linda, along
with Sue Googer as well as Anne Bauer found
this one on May 30. He and Linda had been
checking it all week. Around 8:30 p.m. he
noticed a very large turtle making her way outof the surf just before low tide, so he alerted
members of the Turtle Team.
When we arrived, we were shocked at theamount of shell that was missing from herposterior end. It was not a good look for her
with all of her tail, rear ippers, and soft tissue
exposed, but her rear ippers seemed to work
ne as she dug a hole in the dunes and started
dropping eggs. If you ever encounter a turtlecoming up to nest, be sure to stay behind her
and stay quiet because she is likely to return
to the water without nesting if she sees you
and is frightened. Once she started dropping
eggs, we knew she was committed and wequietly watched the eggs fall as we stood
behind her. Barb Bergwerf took pictures in
the dark with an infra-red camera. Never use
ash photography.
When she covered the eggs, disguised thenest site with her huge ippers, and was
starting back to the ocean, we were able to
measure her, check for metal ipper tags,
and scan for embedded chips called PIT tags.
She had none of these. She did not get backin the surf until after 10 p.m. We studied
her method of crawling and saw that her
abnormal tracks are caused by a range of
motion problem on the left side which causedher claw marks to differ from those on the
right, probably a result of her old injury now
healed. This, and the extra large clutches of
eggs, was what caused us to notice her when
she nested here the rst three times. This is the fourth year we have collected
samples from every nest for a genetics study
that encompasses North Carolina, South
Carolina, and Georgia’s nesting loggerheadturtles. It takes a while for these DNA results
to be analyzed, but some very interesting
results have been reported. For example, oneturtle nested at 35th Avenue on the Isle of
Palms, two weeks later on Hatteras Islandin NC, and a third time two weeks after that
on Cumberland Island in Georgia. So we will
probably learn where our “Mega Mom” nested
After the turtle laid her eggs, members of the Turtle Team
measured her size for study and documentation. An
infra-red camera captured these shots. Never use ashphotography to take pictures of turtles.

to controlling feral cat communities. “If the cats are euthanized, otherpopulations will just move in,” Church says. The TNR method ensurespopulation control with no new litters, and undesired behaviors likeghting, mating, and spraying will all be reduced as they are spayed
and neutered, allowing the cats to live in greater harmony with thehuman population.
In just a few short weeks, Church has safely trapped, neutered,and returned seven adult cats and given treatments to three kittens.“There are at least six more kittens, and probably 20 adult cats, justin my neighborhood. There is a lot of work to be done,” Church says.
In order for Church’s endeavors on controlling the feral catpopulation to be successful, she needs support from the community.
HOW TO HELP:
Share your time! • Help transport feral cats to and from the Charleston
Animal Society for surgery and vaccinations• Help trap feral cats and kittens in your neighborhood• Report feral cat sightings, particularly with new kittens
Share your home! • Foster wild or semi-tame kittens to prepare them for a
permanent home• Adopt a tame kitten, which will be spayed/neutered and up to
date on rst round of vaccinationsShare your resources by donating!
• Cat traps (can be purchased at Lowe’s…used ones are great,as well)
• Cages (permanent or on loan)• Cat carriers and beds• Small, kitten-sized litter boxes• Sheets of plastic• Towels and sheet (old and ratty is ne!)• Gift cards to Petco and PetsmartYou can also donate! Make donations to Simply Spay & Neuter.
Just let them know you want to support the Island Cat Rescue andall proceeds will go to help with kitten health care.

A
t the beginning of the
twentieth century, dentists
across American usedto boast that they were “100
Percenters.” They were proud of
the fact that they would routinely
remove all of a patient’s teeth.
The belief then was that most of
a person’s health ills started in
the mouth—by removing teeth
one could eliminate the source of
sickness. Dentists today would
not boast about being a “100
percenter,” but everyone should
be aware of the important role
oral health plays in overall health.
From the rst bite of food,
the mouth starts the digestion
process. Chewing begins the
physical breakdown of food.
Saliva moistens food and starts
the chemical breakdown of
starches. Teeth are fundamental
to digestion, studies have proven
that people without teeth—even
those people with dentures—have
a poorer diet and more digestive
complications than people with
teeth.
Teeth hold the jawbone inplace. Once we loose teeth,
our jawbones shrink away—a
whopping 60% loss in jawbone
in the rst ve years after losing
teeth. Loss of jawbone causes the
face to change shape creating a
“sunken face” appearance, adding
the appearance of enhanced age
and facial wrinkles.
Gum disease is the most
common reason for tooth loss.
Gum disease is often painless,
but is a chronic inammatory
disease, caused by bacteria, that
results in the loss of teeth and
jaw bone. It is linked to heart
disease at the molecular level,
through compounds known as
“inammatory mediators.” This
means that people with gum
disease are at a higher risk for
developing serious cardiovascular
disease.
Interesting research has found
molecular links with
gum disease and other
health conditions.One study has shown
that treatment of
gum disease reduces
the severity of rheumatoid
arthritis, and other autoimmune
conditions. Numerous studies
have demonstrated some links to
gum disease in women.
Gingivitis, or inammation and
tenderness of the gums, occurs in
about 70% of pregnant women.
The hormonal and vascular
changes of pregnancy exaggerate
the gum response to otherwise
harmless irritations. Woman
taking oral contraceptives may
also experience greater gingivitis.
Interestingly, gum disease has
been linked to more severe issues
of pre-term birth and infant low
birth weight. There are some links
that the inammatory mediators
released by gum disease can
trigger the production of
prostaglandin,
the hormone which
triggers labor. One study
showed that women with gum
disease in the second trimester
were at a 4.5-7 times greater
risk of pre-term birth. Another
suggests that women with gum
disease have a seven-fold greater
risk of delivering an infant with
low-birth weight.
Research today is focusing on
the relationship of oral health
and overall well being. However,
the nal message is clear:maintaining good oral health is
the best way to preserve your
teeth, and is an excellent way to
help overall well being.

These days, the future couldn’tbe any brighter for this second-grade hero. Cooper wants to studysnakes when he’s older, and evenhas one of his very own. “He’s mylittle biologist,” Cates explains.“He knows more about reptilesand snakes and amphibians than
you would believe!”In 2009, Summerville resident
Whitney Ringler founded “ChaseAfter a Cure” after nding out
that her son, Chase, had stage4 neuroblastoma like Cooper.Ringler and Cates met at thehospital, as Cooper was nishing
his treatment and Chase was
just beginning. The two momsteamed up and decided to dotheir part to raise funds andawareness for childhood cancers.Since the nonprot was founded,
Chase After a Cure has raisedover $275,000 for the Children’sHospital at MUSC.
On August 18, the Windjammeron the Isle of Palms will host a SkyeBoards Cornhole Tournamentwhere all proceeds will benet
Chase After a Cure, to helpchildren like Cooper and Chase.
The tournament will consist of 64teams, and rst and second place
winners will receive a Skye Boardcornhole set, made right here inthe lowcountry.
“Cooper is living proof thatmiracles happen,” Cates says.
“It’s so important to focus onthe future, but also appreciateeverything a little more…birthdays, holidays…they’re agift.”
The Skye Board Cornhole Tournament will be on Sunday,August 18, from 3 – 8 p.m. at the Windjammer, 1008 Ocean Boulevard. Cost is $50 per team and space is limited. Register online at chaseafteracure.com.

when she didn’t come back here the week of July 22 when weexpected her.
Another amazing nding of this study is the recent report about“Mama Pritchard,” a nesting female who was found injured bya boat on Pritchard’s Island, SC, in 2008. She spent 21 monthsin the South Carolina Aquarium’s Turtle Hospital before beingreleased again in 2010. Now the DNA samples show that she isback at Pritchard’s Island in 2013 laying nests in her old territory.
Seeing a turtle like our Mega Mom makes us realize how strongand what stoic survivors these sea turtles are. She must have
suffered terribly when she was almost killed and lost almost a footof shell, but she carried on and is now contributing hugely to thepopulation by producing approximately 800 eggs in this seasonalone. She did not like being measured and examined on her returntrip to the ocean. As she was almost there she looked up at us andseemed exhausted as we quietly urged her to take just a few moresteps before she nally returned home where her 200 to 300 poundbody could move easily again. Godspeed, Mega Mom! We hope tosee you again in a few years.

T he Carolina Chickadee is a very small passerine
found throughout the southeast year-round. Itis easily identiable by its distinctive appearance
and call, except in the northernmost part of its range,
which overlaps with the deceptively-similar Black-
capped Chickadee. The Carolina Chickadee is in the
same family as the Tufted Titmouse, and they are
commonly seen foraging together in small ocks. This
species of Chickadee is completely non-migratory and
is able to survive winters by caching seeds, nuts, and
small insects. Carolina Chickadees form pairs during the
nonbreeding season and begin building nests as early as
February. They are cavity nesters and pairs will either
excavate their own cavities in snags or dead branches
or they will readily use nest boxes. Females alone build
the nests and incubate the eggs. They lay about six eggs
per clutch and only breed once per year. Both adults
feed and care for the young. Nestlings have a relatively high survival rate, but there are many predators
to contend with. Raccoons, rat snakes, opossums,
hawks, and domestic cats frequently eat nestlings and
edglings. Even Red-bellied Woodpeckers have been
seen snacking on nestlings. House Wrens have been
frequently witnessed stealing nest cavities from Carolina
Chickadees and destroying their eggs and/or young in
the process.

Peach, Plum, andBlackberry Galette
BY KELSEY COLT
I just returned from a three-week trip in Europe so I felt I had tomake something from another country. So my thoughts went to
either a crostata or galette? How can you choose? Well the answeris pretty simple! Actually, they are basically the same thing (you aregoing to take away a little food lesson as well as a recipe from thiscolumn). Both are free-form tarts but a crostata is Italian and galetteis French. What they both have is a rustic look that can wow anytable. I picked a galette because I went to France.
This is my sister’s kind of dessert because, besides it being incredibly
delicious, it’s pretty easy and quick to make, but it still looks as if you spent hours in the kitchen and are an incredible baker. So if you have someone like that in mind, invite him or her over for dinnerand cook this. Even better, invite them into the kitchen to help; theirpatience will not be tested.
Peach, Plum, and Blackberry GaletteRecipes adapted from Smitten Kitchen and Ina Garten
Pastry dough (makes enough dough for two tarts) 2 1/2 cups all-purpose our1/4 teaspoon salt1 tablespoon sugar1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces1/4 to 1/2 cup ice water
In the bowl of a food processor, combine our and salt; pulse
to combine. Add butter, and pulse until mixture resembles coarsecrumbs with some larger pieces remaining, about 10 seconds. (To
mix by hand, combine dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl, thencut in butter with a pastry blender.)
With machine running, add ice water through feed tube in a slow,steady stream, just until dough holds together without being wet orsticky. Do not process more than 30 seconds. Test by squeezing a
small amount of dough together; if it is still too crumbly, add a bitmore water, 1 tablespoon at a time.
Turn out dough onto a clean work surface. Divide in half, and place
each half on a piece of plastic wrap. Shape into attened disks. Wrap
in plastic, and refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight. The dough can
be frozen for up to 1 month; thaw overnight in the refrigerator beforeusing.
Filling (makes 1 galette) 1 pound rm ripe peaches, peeled1/2 pound rm ripe black plums, unpeeled1/2 pint fresh blackberries1 tablespoon plus 1/4 cup all-purpose our, divided1 tablespoon plus 1/4 cup granulated sugar, divided1/4 teaspoon grated orange zest2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice1/4 teaspoon kosher salt4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) cold unsalted butter, diced
Cut the peaches and plums in wedges and place them in a bowlwith the blackberries. Toss them with 1 tablespoon of the our, 1
tablespoon of the sugar, the orange zest, and the orange juice. Placethe mixed fruit on the dough circle, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border.
Combine the 1/4 cup our, the 1/4 cup sugar, and the salt in the
bowl of a food processor tted with a steel blade. Add the butter and
pulse until the mixture is crumbly. Pour into a bowl and rub it with your ngers until it starts to hold together. Sprinkle evenly over the
fruit. Gently fold the border of the pastry over the fruit, pleating it tomake an edge.
Bake the galette for 20 to 25 minutes, until the crust is goldenand the fruit is tender. Let the galette cool for 5 minutes, then use2 large spatulas to transfer it to a wire rack. Serve warm or at roomtemperature.

August has arrived bringing
great shing accompanied
by some warm weather.
Anglers will want to sh early and
late in the day for the best action.
There are lots of different stylesof shing and if you choose the
right ones, you can stay cool and
beat the heat.
If you are starting early,
topwater should be a go-to
option. Try to get to your spot
just as it is becoming light. Fish
will strike topwater lures based
on the commotion they make on
the surface as they aren't able
to see that the lure isn't a real
struggling baitsh. These lures
work well for trout, ladysh and
redsh. Heddon's Super Spook
Jr. lures in chartreuse and black
or red and white are the ticket.Popping corks can be used
throughout the day at all parts
of the tide. Anglers enjoy them
because you can catch so many
different types of sh: redsh,
trout, ounder, ladysh, shark,
etc. I use a weighted popping
cork so I can increase the
distance of my cast. I run an 18"-
24" uorocarbon leader from the
cork to a size 1 circle hook. When
your cork drops under water, reel
until you feel the weight of the
sh and then lift the rod tip. Mud
minnows, shrimp, and articial
shrimp all work well as baits.
For a species that shes well
irrespective of the temperature,
sharks t the bill. Even in the
middle of the afternoon, they will
be cruising and eagerly eating.
With so many bait stealers around,
we have been experimenting with
shing an entire live blue crab
on a 7/0 circle hook. You'll nd
that sharks will drop such large
bait more frequently than smaller
baits, but the sharks that hang
on are the big ones!
Fly shermen can time their
shing to evening high tides
known as "tailing" tides. Redsh
will get up onto grassy ats and you can see their tails in the air
as they forage for food with their
nose to the ground. Spoon ies
with a weed guard work great
in this situation. The best set of
these tides occurs mid-month.
See you on the water!

How about a little trip to the Rocky
Mountains? The Mystery Plant
featured in this column is almost
always from here in the southeast, but thisweek I thought I would mix things up a bit.
Some time ago I went on a trip to Colorado…
and was able for the rst time ever to see,
up close, the central Rocky Mountains. Some
friends and I spent a whole day driving through
Rocky Mountain National Park, not too far
southwest of Ft. Collins, and we eventually
got up to an elevation of slightly over 12,000’
above sea-level. This was so high up that
there were no trees, as we were well above
the timberline. The mountain views were
amazing, and there was a good bit of wildlife:
birds, elk, mountain sheep, and little furry
critters scurrying
around. Plenty of
football-eld sized
patches of left-over
snow and ice, too. To
me, though, the most
interesting areas
of the whole Parkwere the windswept,
tundra-like meadows.
You might think that
places like these
should be barren and
boring, but they are
actually lled with
thousands of owers,
all of which are
short,and nearly all
of which are brightly
colored, forming
acres of spectacular
displays.
Yes, the air up
there was a bit thin,
and yes, my ears
were popping. The
resident plants, too,
must put up with
some challenging
situations in order to
thrive and reproduce.
High winds and rough
weather demand
short or even dwarf
plants, and many
of these grow only
in low, densely tufted, roundish cushions.
Plants in such places must have physiologies
that allow them to tolerate relatively abrupt
changes in temperature, which may be
extreme. Soils here are typically rocky and
very thin (almost like pavement). And, intense
solar radiation is a constant problem, unless
there is cloud cover.
Our little yellow-owered survivor is a true
succulent, whose leaves can store water and
are designed to minimize water loss into the
atmosphere. It’s a member of a genus withabout 500 species, these scattered over much
of the northern hemisphere, mostly in dry
places. Many of these species are popular in
cultivation and rather easy to grow, including
here in the southern states. The leaves of our
cushion-forming mystery plant are round
in cross-section and pointy, commonly
greenish,but sometimes red. The stems only
get to be a few inches high, and then blooming
occurs. Flowers consist of ve greenish sepals
and ve bright gold-yellow petals, 10 stamens,
and ve pointed pistils, clustered together in
the center of the blossom. This species was
described in 1828, based upon a specimen
which had been collected a few years earlier
from Pike’s Peak. (I didn’t get to go there.)
I’ve only been out there once, but I can
highly recommend a summer trip to the
alpine meadows of Colorado’s high Rockies.
You’ll never forget it.
