he doctors diagnosis wasnt good. Tey would all neednew noses, better noses that would help them sni outnew members and new ideas; great noses that would

be their nose or business and undraising. With that, Dr.Geezer reached into his medical kit and pulled out a brandnew, ruby-red nose or each incoming leader o the Kiawah-Seabrook Exchange Club.

With gales o laughter and some ailed attempts to attachtheir new sniers, new Exchange Club leaders Mike Morris,Stan Morganstein, Kimber Smith, Jim Shaw and Roger Steel

were sworn in by National Exchange Club President-ElectMargaret Miller. Miller, who will be sworn into oce on July24 in Palm Springs, Caliornia, congratulated the Club ontheir exceptional eorts over the past year, and awarded theKiawah-Seabrook Exchange Club with the Growth Award inrecognition or their past years membership increase o 15%.President Jim ilson asked that member Frank Carrese acceptthe award in recognition o his successul recruitment eorts.

Regional Exchange Club President Richard Mock ollowedMiller with a quick thank you to the Club, and also awardedthe group with the Clubs National Service Award or theirundraising eorts. Be proud o yourselves or what you haveaccomplished, said Mock. Youve done wonderul things orthe Exchange Clubs cause.

While the evening was un and lighthearted, it was still sadto see ormer Club president Jim ilson stepping down roma role which President Mike Morris noted he did as well asany two o us. With his vibrantly oral tie tucked neatly intohis dinner jacket, ilson stated that his table voted down hisoer to pass on the tie to the new president, but he did wantto pass on something that played a uniquely important role in

his lie. With that, a copy o the booklet A Message to Garciaby Elbert Hubbard was passed out to everyone in attendanceat the nights meeting.

It took me many years to understand the message herein,said ilson. But it changed my lie. In my 39th year, themessage fnally sounded out loud and clear and my lie waschanged, and with book in hand, I headed to the horizon.

As the fnal speaker during his time as president, ilsonasked Commanding Ocer Jesse Dove to give a talk or thenights meeting. Dressed in a ight suit which was made or

him in 1971 and still ft him perectly, Dove told a storythat he had only shared once beore o a frefght near theDemilitarized Zone in Vietnam.

I had never seen more gunfre in al l o Vietnam, said Dove.As ight commander, he relied on his second, Dave Mott, to watch the ground. Ater several ailed missile launches anda precipitous dive to within 100 eet o the ground, Dovesteam succeeded in taking out the enemy encampment. Tatnight, he and Dave celebrated with a signifcantly large bottleo Canadian Club whiskey. Te next day, Dave was shot downand kept as a prisoner o war in Hanoi or three years. Whenhe returned, Dove ound him in a hospital in San Antonio andonce again, they shared a drink rom the bottle o CanadianClub. With that, Dove pulled the original bottle o whiskeyout rom under the podium and smiled. Te crowd applaudedand ater the meeting, several members walked up to him andpersonally thanked him or his service.

Te Kiawah-Seabrook Exchange Club meets every otherWednesday, alternating between Kiawah and Seabrook for theirmeeting location. For more information, contact President MikeMorris at [email protected].

In my previous article, Seabrook survey dodges key issues,I indicated that the SIPOA, and probably the SIC, paid $3,000to conduct their survey. Robert Fisk, survey administrator,inormed me that although the SIPOA budgeted $3,000 orthe annual survey, no unds were spent. My apologies or thiserror. Tank you, Glenda L. Miller

Preparing for a strong hurricane season

On June 10, the towns o Kiawahand Seabrook Islands onceagain combined their disaster

preparation expos in one event at KiawahsSandcastle. With representatives romboth municipalities, as well as stormexperts and storm preparation serviceproviders, the Disaster Prep Expo was agreat, one-stop-shop to pick up everything

you need to be prepared not only orhurricanes, but oods, tornadoes andother natural disasters. Kiawah Islandown Administrator umiko Rucker,along with the own and Sandcastle sta,did an excellent job organizing this years

event, and more than 80 residents romboth islands were in attendance.

Hurricane season ofcially begins on June 1 (and ends on November 30), andor coastal residents, it has never been moreimperative to be prepared or hurricaneseason; and part o being prepared is beingaware.

When remembering all o the recentdisasters to hit our coast, such as hurr icaneKatrina in 2005, we now have an evenlarger reason to be concerned. Te BP oilspill presents urther issues and questionsas to how a hurricane in the Gul wouldaect, and most presumably, devastate,the surrounding areas.

Every year, people turn to varioussources or a hint o what to expect outo the Atlantic Ocean. William Gray oColorado State University is one o the

most popular and analyzed hurricaneorecasters in the United States. Along

with his protege, Philip Klotzbach,he has spent many years analyzingdata and developing models that aredesigned to reect an understanding otropical storm activity in the AtlanticBasin, the most inconsistent tropicalstorm corridor in the world. For more

inormation or to view the ull report,visit www.hurricane.atmos.colostate.edu/Forecasts

For 2010, Klotzbach and Gray areestimating that 10 hurricanes will orm(average is 5.9), with 18 named storms(average is 9.6), 90 named storm days(average is 49.1), 40 hurricane days(average is 24.5), 5 major (Category3-5) hurricanes (average is 2 .3) and 13major hurricane days (average is 5.0).

Te probabilityo U.S. majorhurricane landalland Caribbeanmajor hurricaneactivity is estimatedto be well above itslong-period average,and they expectthe Atlantic basinNet ropical Cyclone(NC) activity in 2010to be approximately195 percent o the long-term average.

Weak La Ninaconditions will nothelp protect the coast

with vertical wind shears as it did in2009, and anomalously warm sea suracetemperatures have also increased thisyears predictions. Another importantactor, Klotzbach and Gray noted, is that

we are in the midst o a multi-decadal erao more major hurricane activity.

Many o you have been watchingthe progress o the turgrass anddrainage improvements we have

been making along the area o Seabrook

Island Road just beore the gates over thepast eight months. Ater the completiono the new bike path and unusually hightides last year, the tur could not keep upwith all the extra moisture and salt water,so the own turned to us or help.

Besides the problem o people drivingo the road and rutting the grass, oneo the biggest issues with the roadsidesalong the island approach is that it is fat,without anywhere or the water to drain.Te rst step was to kill o the remaindero the grass and remove as much o the soilas possible while keeping in mind that allo the irrigation, utilities, and tree roots were just below our eet. Te next step

was to select the type o turgrass to plantthis spring.

Te sides o Seabrook Island Road notonly needed a hardy type o turgrass to withstand roadside abuse, it also had tobe able to tolerate brackish water romhigh tides. In the end, we really only hadone choice: Seashore Paspalum (Paspalumvaginatum), the same turgrass used ongol courses along the beach. SeashorePaspalum rst arrived in the U.S. by wayo slave ships rom Asia or Arica and wasoriginally used or bedding.

oday, research has urther developedthis tur into a high quality product. Itcan be used anywhere rom residential

lawns to ne gol courses. Local ly, SeanHardwick, Director o Gol Maintenanceon Seabrook Island, is converting moreand more o the gol course tees to Sea shorePaspalum. Te tur is proving to be verytolerant to high levels o salt in water, and

is very adaptable to wide ranges o pHlevels. While requiring less ertilizer andwater than other types o grass, the weartolerance o Seashore Paspalum is still

excellent.For many years, the section o Seabrook

Island Road as it approaches the gate was treated as a road side and not as anopportunity to welcome homeowners andguests to the Island. However, over the pastcouple o years the own has provided uswith the opportunity to improve the roadlittle by little. Te drainage problem willalways be a concern due to the fat natureo the area, but at least now we have abeautiul grass which will tolerate theoccasional high tides. On the one hand Iam going to miss hearing speculations asto who drove o the road and made allthe damaging ruts, but on the other, Im

proud to see the road looking beautiuland succeeding in maintaining thatappearance despite the onslaught o tiresand tides.

here are so many things that makeDewees Island a wonderul placeto live: the close proximity o the

ocean in all directions; the maritimeorests; its ascinating history rie withIndians, pirates and rum runners; andthe dedication o its small population toconservation in every aspect o the word.

And because o the populaces dedicationto leaving the smallest ootprint possibleon the island, residents are not allowed todrive any sort o gas-powered vehicle onthe island. Tis is wonderul in terms othe lack o noise and air pollution, butduring cold, rainy or windy days (whichhappen quite a lot on a small, semi-tropical barrier island), its tough to getaround with nothing but your eet, bikeor an open-air gol cart.

For Barbara MacIntyre, one o therst residents on Dewees Island, theinconvenience was worth the location, but

when she saw a Current Electric low speedvehicle at the Family Circle ennis Cupthis past April, she couldnt contain herexcitement.

Te climate can be harsh on gol cartson Dewees, said Barbara. You have salty

wind and alkaline sand, and with open airgol carts you have to worry about how

windy and dusty it will be, and there arealmost always bugs in the warm months,she smiled. Te best part is, these carshave doors.

Barbara and Dave MacIntyre are therst residents to sport a low speed electricvehicle on Dewees Island.

Tis is the answer to my dreams, saidBarbara. And other people on the islandare excited about it, as well.

Since Dewees is only about six milesaround and two miles rom end to end,

the 40 miles/charge is more than enoughto get them where they need to go andback again; several times.

Now all we need to do is get the erryto start letting us take them on land, shegrinned.

Frank Guarino, owner o CurrentElectric Vehicles on Daniel Island, isthrilled that low speed vehicles are beingaccepted so quickly around Charlestonsbarrier islands.

Teyre perect or these areas, said

Frank. Tey can only go on roads witha speed limit o 35 mph or less, but thatsthe speed limit on most islands. Tey cango up to 40 miles on a single charge andthey plug into a regular 110 outlet, so you

could be visiting a riend and let the carcharge while youre there.

Although low speed vehicles arentallowed on primary roads like PalmBoulevard, Frank has a lready ound a wayto get rom his home in Wild Dunes to theRed & White grocery store on the Isle oPalms by taking back roads like WaterwayBlvd. Another benet is that they aretagged, licensed and insured like regularvehicles, a plus which allowed them to bepermitted or use in places like Kiawah

Island, which currently doesnt allow golcarts on regular roads.

Current Electric Vehicles currentlyoers two types o Low Speed Vehicles,E-Zone and C-Zone. C-Zones are utilitycars which are oten used as higherspeed, higher capacity gol carts; mobilecaeterias; and even ambulance vehicles

in places such as gol courses, baseball/ootball elds and parks. E-Zone LSVsmore closely resemble standard cars and areavailable in a variety o shades and styles,including pick-ups and multi-purposevans. Tey come equipped standard withautomatic windows and heated seats, andoptions include air bags, sun roo, andheating and air conditioning. Te priceor both types ranges between $11,000and $17,000, with some available withhigh-end lithium batteries or around$25,000.

Te MacIntyres LSV is a gray-toneE-Zone which cost them around $13,000.Tis LSV is a great example o how youdont have to give up luxury to be green,

said Barbara. Our car is un, efcient andcomortable. We couldnt be happier withit.

Current Electric Vehicles oces arelocated on Daniel Island at 142 SportsmansIsland Drive on Daniel Island, with a showroom in Freshfelds Village between Kiawahand Seabrook Island. For more inormation,visit www.currentelectricvehicles.com or call377-8540.

A visitors view

As a child, I remember staring out othe window and thinking summernever came quickly enough.

Tough many things have changed as Ihave gotten older and become a teacherand a mother, I still cant wait or summer

to arrive. When it does, I nd mysel asexcited as my children anticipating anentire summer outside o the school hallsand classrooms.

My daughter, Hanna, has beenspending winters and summers at thebeach since she was a baby. Now thatshe is older, she gets ready or the beachby packing her own suitcase with a listthat she has made hersel. As I peek inher bag to make sure she has everythingshe will need, I come across her neatlywritten list entitled, What I Need to Packor the Beach!: 1. Swimsuits, 2. Socks,3.Books, 4.Flashlight, 5.Picture o mom,6. Pajamas. I couldnt help but smile at thelist and my heart warmed as I saw numberve: picture o mom. Te next morningwe woke, jumped in the car and were oto our annual amily beach vacation onKiawah Island. Ater our and a hal hourso a cramped car ride we nally made it,and o course the rst thing we did once we nished unloading was to throw onour Rainbow sandals and stretch our legsout on the beach.

Later that evening we went out to thebeach again. Te sun was beginning tohide itsel and there was a slight, rereshingbreeze in the air. Te waves were crashingon the sand and we saw shrimp boats onthe horizon. Te stunning natural visualsthat surrounded us never cease to amazeme. As an artist and an art teacher, I couldnot help but see everything around me as

something meant to be captured on canvasor photographed and preserved.

As I sited the warm, smooth sandthrough my toes and looked at mydaughter exploring and nding pleasurein the simple items around her, I tookpride in the picture that she created.I could not help but eel a connectionbetween viewing the culmination o abeautiul day amid the sand and shellsand salty blue-green water with its whitecrested waves, the deer standing patientlystill in the sweetgrass as pockets o waterrefect the pinks and purples o the sunsetabove, and my creation: my daughter,

with the sun fowing through her hair andthe sand all over her sun-kissed arms andlegs. Tere is something extraordinarilyexciting about both.

Artist M.C. Escher once said, Atmoments o great enthusiasm it seems to

me that no one in the world has ever madesomething this beautiul and important.As a human on this planet I eel that waylooking at the nature surrounding me,and as a mother I eel that way lookingat my daughter in a moment o peace andperection. Each visual is unique and thismoment with my child will never happenagain, so I take a mental picture to cementit in my mind.

Te next evening, my sister, Hanna andI decided to take our bikes or a quick tripto a nearby inlet to see what the recedingwaters have let or us to nd. We rode or ashort time while my daughter complainedabout her hurting bones and muscles.Tere was a scowl on her ace as we tried

to cheer her up by making designs in thesand with our tires or by singing in sillyvoices or making a guessing game out ohow long it would take in seconds to reachthe inlet. Nothing really worked, though,and she was determined to pout. Once we arrived, Hanna and my sister tooko down the beach and I waded throughshallow waters looking or a sand dollar.

I ound several broken ones and littlecreatures crawling around past my eet. AsI made my way over to the gi rls, however, Ilooked down and there in the sand was anunbroken sand dollar. Smiling, I brushedit o and began to show it to them when Inoticed that they were walking through amyriad o beached starsh. As I got closer,I saw my daughter and sister stopping and

checking each starsh to see i it was alive.I one was still moving even slightly, theyyelled, I ound one! Ten Hanna wouldscoop up the starsh and walk it back tothe ocean so that it would live. Tey hadormed their own Starsh Rescue Mission.Knowing my sister, I am not surprised bythis at all. I look around and there are somany starsh on the sandy shore that needrescuing. It was, o course, an impossiblemission, but my heart warmed watchingmy daughter orget about hersel andrescue all those starsh. She had a smileon her ace and was genuinely concernedabout their plight, so I joined in the search

or live starsh to rescue.

Tere is beauty in the process o lieand nature as well as in a beautiul visualmoment like I saw the night beore. I knewthe beauty in the evening o the starsh,and though many had died, a good many

lived. Not all o that evening had been un,but when I looked back it was wonderulbecause o all the events that had takenplace. Tat day brought my daughter stepscloser to becoming the woman I hope she will be one day, and that day gave thestarsh other days to live and be a part onature, a nature that grows and maturesand changes constantly.

Lie is what happens between thebeginning and the end. It is what happensbetween childhood and parenthood,between birth and death. And the beautyo nature lies in more than just lookingat a sunrise or sunset. It is all a part o a

beautiul process.
