Judging a photo contest is tough, so when the SeabrookCamera Club asked Te Island Connection to judgetheir Boats Aoat photo contest, we searched aroundor some experts to help us make the tough decisions.

With our oces located on Sullivans Island, we

were able to pull rom the islands incredibly artisticcommunity. For the photo contest, we asked Isle o PalmsCouncil member and ormer photographer orTe Chicagoribune, Barbara Bergwer, to be a judge, as well as Kathy

Sullivan, an animal artist most well known or her horsepainting on the 2006 Kentucky Derby commemorativeedition o Woodord Reserve, and National Geographicphotographer Vincent Musi, who is home rom a photoshoot o a groundbreaking archeological discovery in the

Fertile Crescent.Tough each photographer/artist had their opinionsand reasons or selecting the paintings that they did, inthe end, it all came down to ve. In rst place, Stanley

Ullners photo o sailors standing on the crossbeams o atallship caught the eye o several judges, including VinceMusi. Its a graphic use o the human element, Musiexplained. Its challenging and pleasing at the same time.I even like how the top guys are a l ittle cut o, he smiled.

he Farm to Market Road, theCross Island Expressway, the

Johns Island Greenway; call it what you will, the plan to build a roadacross southern Johns Island connectingRiver Road to Betsy Kerrison has beendiscussed on the islands or more than

40 years. But as the idea becomes moretenable, the protests and pleadings or across-island road are becoming more andmore heated.

While Charleston County has votedto do a study on a new roadway so that

the potential route o the road as well asthe costs involved will nally be put onpaper, other parties have suggested thepossibility o simply widening Bohicketand Main road to avoid cutting a newroad on the island; an idea which manysee as a potential gateway to even more

development on the island. However, thesaety o the current roads has consistentlybeen called into question and as more andmore people move onto the sea islands,the need or some solution to the growingtrac, as well as the increase in accidents,has many saying that its now an issue olie or death.

Te improvements - whether its

widening the roads, building theGreenway, improving existing roads or acombination o all three - will need thesupport not only o the Johns Islanders,but the residents o Kiawah and Seabrook,as well. And beore Seabrookers go to thevoting poles on November 3, it would be

in their best interest to know how theircandidates stand on the roads.

Te carnage has gone on long enough,says incumbent candidate Robert Savin.We need the Cross Island Road withgreen space on each side to preserve theisland beauty and ecology and to providesae transport or residents rom all ourislands.

Our present roads are scenic but notsae, said Mayoral candidate, WilliamHoltz. Te State, as well as the Countyand City o Charleston, have to have aplan to handle the population growthcoming to Johns Island, which is expectedto double in 10 years, and to improve the

condition o the present roads. Te Stateis working on a plan to extend 526 withan exit on Johns Island and the Countyis conducting a study on all o the roadson Johns Island. Without a plan, thereis no chance we can compete or thelimited nancing available. Working withthe own Council, I hope to continueto endorse a Cross Island road that tiesinto the 526 extension . Tis road shouldallow bicycles and pedestrians to travelalong designated paths without riskingtheir lives. In addition, we will supportimprovement or the Main and Rt. 17intersection as that is our questionableevacuation route. Whatever plan emerges

we will work with the other municipalgovernments and communities to improvethe road situation.

Incumbent Jerry Cummin notes that,Part o my job while serving on the owno Seabrook Islands External AairsCommission (2004-2008) was to monitorroad planning developments eecting

Johns Island. One thing was clear: tracmoves ast, road improvements do not.Bohicket and River Roads are some o themost dangerous rural roads in the Nation.Road saety improvements start withaction by the County Council.

Councilman Paul Turmond hasannounced that he will not run orre-election when his term expires in2010. He has been the leading supporterin the eort to bring a new, sae road to

Johns Island. I would preer the Sea Island Greenwayto destroying a lot o Grand Oaks in order to widenBohicket Road to our lanes, but i that is the onlyoption, I will support it. Once the study is published,it is important or all o us to communicate our wishesto County Council. Paul Turmond may still be thereto help but he wont be there ater the end o 2010.County Council pays attention to email. Teir emailaddresses can be ound here: www.charlestoncounty.org/departments/Council/contacts.htm.

Te issue o road saety is also o great concern tocandidate Sam Reed, who chairs the Seabrook RoadsCommittee comprised o nine Seabrook Island residents.Reed notes that their Committee has met several timesand has been working with a similar group on Kiawah.Our position is that our roads to this part o CharlestonCounty are terribly unsae, says Reed. It is more thana Seabrook-Kiawah problem, since over 90% o thetravelers at the Freshelds roundabout are not residentso Seabrook or Kiawah. Tis issue MUS be dealt withbeore others are maimed or killed on Bohicket, Main,and River Roads. In order to preserve the beautiul andenvironmentally positive canopy on Bohicket, it seemsthat a new greenway (with possible bicycle and jogginglanes) would be preerred. Te adjoining ground couldbe put in a limited access easement, so that business

development could not occur. I have also been toldthat a new greenway would be less expensive and lessdisruptive to property owners than a widening projecton Bohicket and River Roads. In any event, I think weowe it to those using these roads that saety should beoremost, and that a solution should and can be ound.I will continue to work on this issue until a solution isound.

I, too, am disappointed with the condition o theroads (River Road and Bohicket Rd.) that lead toSeabrook Island, says candidate Henry Hobson. Wecertainly need an upgrade on both o these dangerousroads since they are both highways o potential deathand destruction to anyone travelling them. Regrettablythere are those residents o Johns Island who eelthat any urther development, whether road buildingor road maintenance, will lead to urther gentricationo the island and the potential destruction o its ruralnature. I do not agree with this position. We need toprovide or the saety and security o travelers to androm our island. Te possible solution o the JohnsIsland Greenway has emerged as a limited accesshighway which would preserve existing developmentand not acilitate urther residential development alongits path. It would be ree o the dangerous proximity olarge oak trees that threaten travelers on Bohicket andRiver Roads. What we need to understand now is howmuch it would cost.

Finally, candidate errence Ahearn remarks thathe eels passionately about the need or sae roads onthe island. Saety is the main issue with the roadssituation, says Ahearn. Some people complain thata new road would be or the rich people on Kiawahand Seabrook, but most o the people that drive outto the islands are guests, renters, construction workers,Freshelds employees, etc. and theyre in just as much

danger on the roads as anyone. I would preer to see anew road instead o our laning Main and Bohicket,but i that plan doesn t work, I would be or wideningthe roads in an environmentally riendly manner anddoing what we can to protect the grand oaks.

Editors note: Candidate Frank Farone wasunavailable to give his stance on the roads situation beoreour deadline date.

reection o a boat on glassy, rippling water was incrediblywell-conceived. You have to ask what did the photographerbring to the situation?, said Musi. We can all stand in agreat situation, its what you do with it that makes a goodpicture. Te quality o light in most o the images was adenite deciding actor or the judges, as well as the use oscale. A couple judges pointed out that just because you havea zoom lens doesnt mean you have to take tight, close-upshots. In act, thats the reason they chose the third placepicture by Judy Bailey. Te distinct image o a man standing

on a thin handmade boat was made all the more intriguingby the act that his oot was swinging out above the water,almost dancing as he maneuvered the small crat throughthe river. A pool o golden light at the bow o the ship castsboth the action and the silhouette o the man in an almostairytale setting.

Te two honorable mentions, Shirley Hansons image o awoman painting a sailboat rom shore and Bob Hiders captureo a boats crew casting sh scraps to a ock o pelicans beorean impending storm, were unanimously chosen or their useo light and raming. It was a nice surprise to see the artistin the corner, said Musi o Hansons image. It was verysensibly done. And Hiders image o the pelican eed ing wasexceptional or the quality o light use in extreme weatherconditions. Its hard to capture weather, said Musi, notinghow the edges o the day are oten the best times to takepictures as they provide some o the most interesting light.

Te awards or the Seabrook Camera Club Boats Aoat winners were given out on Tursday, October 22. Cashprizes were given to rst, second and third place winners andprizes were given to the honorable mentions. Te SeabrookCamera Club meets the ourth Tursday o every month atthe Lake House at 7pm.

The seven pirate ghosts of Capn SamsBy SIDI LIMeHouSe

Sams was his last name, not his rst.Sams was not a possessive man, henever owned any land. Sams was a

Capn, not a Captain. He had no t in hisname. He could have had that t, but hepreerred to avoid positions o authority.For a brie successul time he was a pirate.

In his pirate days, he worked or GeorgeRaynor aboard one o the two shipsRaynor possessed. Raynor consideredSams his right arm and on patrol, Samscommanded one pirate ship, though bothships looked to Raynor as Captain.

Raynors two pirate ships worked as ateam patrolling rom the Stono River inlettoward the southeast as ar as provisionsallowed. Te home anchorage was behindKiawah Island in a small creek known asOld Dock Creek. Raynors boats were ast.Upon Capn Sams advice, the sails weremade big and armaments were kept light.Tey could outrun anything the Spaniardshad, or anything the English had. Speed

was the key; or so Capn Sams believed.

On September 16, 1682, the two shipslet Kiawah and headed south. A weekearlier there had been a hurricane andthey hoped to nd a ship or two thathad endured the storm intact ideally,a scattered Spanish convoy. Tree weekslater, Raynor stood o the bar o theharbor at Charles owne a rich man.He was done pirating and he wanted tobecome a Charles owne gentleman.

Every ship entering the harbor had to

have papers. Every ship had to stand o,have its cargo inspected and the papersstamped with the Kings seal, indicatingthat all duty and taxes to King Charles

were paid. Only then was the ship al lowedinto the harbor. Raynor had no papers,but a ew Spanish gold coins solved that

problem. He sailed across the bar, boughthis way into society and quashed certainrumors rom England and William Pennthat he was a pirate by giving monies tobenevolent societies. His last act beoresettling down to insure his acceptance as agentleman was to purchase rom the LordProprietors his own hiding place: KeywahIsland.

Raynor also looked out or his men, andCapn Sams took his share o gold coin,

which at the time was worth plenty (ontodays market worth over $50 million),and announced that he did not wantmoney, that money is the root o al l evil ,though he meant the pursuit o money

was the root o all evil. He did not knowhow right he was.

Soon it became evident to Capn Samsthat he had to leave Charles owne justto be let alone. Raynor was relishing inhis ame and ortune as he was the richestman in Charles owne, but Capn Sams

was a private man and hated to be in thespotlight. So Raynors solution to helpCapn Sams was to send him to Keywah,giving him 200 acres o the island anda spit o land between the ast lands o

Keywah and Jones Islands (known todayas Seabrook Island). Sams turned downthe git, tell ing Raynor that this orbiddenplace should belong to no man, as the air

we breathe shouldnt belong to anyone.

Sams knew, however, that this placewas perect. No one would ever go there,

no one would hound him and best o all,no ladies would seek avors o him and hisgold.

Te local Indians who l ived at Cassiquemade riends with Sams. In time, theybegan to reer to the spit, the inlet and thecreek as simply Capn Sams. Te rest othe pirate crew had scattered and most haddrunk and caroused away their portiono the booty. Seven o these scoundrels,however, stayed in Charles owne and oneday, they took it into their heads to seekout Capn Sams lair.

Somehow they had heard that Sams was living on the end o Keywah on abeach spit o white sand oten overrunby the ury o the sea. Tese seven neer

do wells gured that because Sams had nouse or the gold, that they should have it.Being amiliar with the Keywah River, thepirates rowed to the village o Cassique, thename o which translates to King. At thevillage they inquired about Sams and weresoon on their way to the spit, taking withthem one Indian, a very talkative Indian,

who told them Capn Sams had a specialplace on the spit where no one could go,indicated by a metal post that stood even

with the top o a nearby dune; and theIndian could point it out to the pirates.

Meanwhile, another Indian,unencumbered by a large boat and sevenbig men, hurried ahead and told Samsabout the seven armed men approachingthe spit. Sams had eared this would

happen. How he hated the Spanish andtheir damned gold. Sams and the Indianhurried across the inlet and hid theIndians canoe; just in time, as the pirateshad appeared around the bend o the riverand were disembarking as the two tuckedthe boat away in a thick patch o shrubs.

On nding only an abandonedshack with only one small window, theseven pirates asked the Indian about the

whereabouts o Capn Sams. Te Indian,realizing now that perhaps these men

wanted to do Capn Sams harm, toldthem that Sams had died the week beoreo yellow ever, a common curse in theLowcountry. But the Indian still showedthem the site o the post rom the one

window in the shack and the piratesquickly went to work. Using the ourshovels they brought with them, the piratesdug into the sand and at two eet, they raninto palmetto logs which had been usedto shore up the loose sand. Te palmettos

were about eight eet long and were laidout in a square, giving the pirates enoughroom so that two men could dig while the

It is that time o year when bats are everywhere. oo many people associate theseying mammals with spooky Halloween decorations and vampire movies that playon late night television every October. Tere are so many myths about bats that I

thought it would be good to share some acts so we can all have a better understandingo this valuable member o the twilight sky:

MYH: Bats are ying rodents.FAC: Bats are more related to monkeys and lemurs than they are to rodents. Teyare such unique animals that scientists have placed them in a group all their own,

called Chiroptera, which means hand-wing.MYH: Bats are blind and will get caught in my hair at night.FAC: Most bats can see as well as humans. Fruit bats can see in color, havingeyesight much like cats, and are well adapted to low light. Bats are also equipped

with a built-in sonar system that allows them to navigate at ast speeds through totaldarkness without running into objects along the way, including a ull head o hair.Tis is called echolocation.MYH: Bats are ugly and dirty.FAC: Most bats are smaller than the palm o your hand and have very cute aces.Tey also spend an enormous amount o time each day grooming their ur to keep itclean and sot.MYH: All bats are vampires and suck blood.FAC: O the worlds 1100+ species, only three are vampire bats, and their territoryis mostly limited to Latin America. Vampire bats are very small (about the size o apackage o M&Ms) and do not attack humans or suck our blood; they preer to gettheir teaspoon-sized meals rom other animals. Te remaining 1097 or so species obats eat insects, ruit, nectar and pollen. A ew species eat sh and rogs. Insect-eating

bats eat billions o insects each summer. Tey protect our crops and keep our costsdown at the market place. Fruit bats bring us over 450 commercial products and 80medicines through pollination and seed dispersal. Over 95% o rainorest re-growthcomes rom seeds that have been spread by ruit bats.MYH: Bats only live in caves.FAC: While some bats do occupy caves, many species live in trees and man madestructures such as buildings, barns, and bridges.

o learn more about bats and to spot a ew local species, come join one o our Naturalistsor a night beach walk on Kiawah Island. Call the Nature Center at 768-6001 or more

For women undergoing cancertreatment, there are suddenlyhundreds o little day-to-day activities

which, ater attending chemotherapytreatments, become incredibly dicult

to handle. One o these is simply keepingtheir house in order.

In response to this need, DeborahSardone, a 26 year veteran o the residentialcleaning industry, began Cleaning or aReason.

others rested, kept watch or carried awaythe excess sand. At eight eet, it becameimpossible to toss the sand clear o the

hole, so the pirates decided to go into thevillage o Cassique and secure basketsand rope to help them proceed.

Riding the tide the hal mile romthe spit to the village, the pirates noticedthat it was unusually warm or the 30tho October. Even stranger was that whenthey arrived at the ormerly bustlingvillage o Cassique, they ound itcompletely abandoned, all 400 residentsgone in the span o a day. Te mendidnt stop to think about it, though,and quickly grabbed the supplies theyneeded, helping themselves to ood which

was still sitting out in pots, as though theIndians had let in a great hurry.

When they returned to the site, the

pirates rigged the baskets and continueddigging. Te work was slow, and asdaylight approached the next day, theynoticed that the sur seemed angry,and the seasoned sailors thought howlucky they were to be on land. Perhapsa noreaster was pushing through, theythought, but they set concern aside andcontinued to dig steadily throughout theday.

At ourteen eet, they knew they wereclose. Te sand was becoming soggy, sothey knew they were at sea level. But thisnight, the sea wasnt normal, not normalat all. Tose dumping the baskets heardthe pounding o the sur, but could seenothing through the stinging rain. Te

wind screamed across the open pit, butjust as the storm was reaching a torrentialury, the light o the oil lamp revealed theSpanish gold. In their eagerness to seethe treasure, all seven pirates crammedthemselves into the hole, causing the oillamp to extinguish, but they had all seenthe treasure.

Te rst wave to break over the holewas, as a surer would put it, a good one.Somewhere on Capn Sams spit lies theremains o seven pirates in a grave theydug or themselves. When the goodCapn returned to the spit, he could notnd a shred o evidence o his shack, hismetal rod o where anything had been;not even a bush. It was like God had

washed it clean, but Sams was happy.

No more would the gold coins o theSpanish haunt him.

A hurricane on the last day o October.How strange; and stranger yet that CapnSams and the Indians o Cassique sworethat on the anniversary o the storm,

October 31 at midnight, they could hearthe sur sound unusually loud and thesound o cries rom the spit; the cries oseven dying men.

Ater the hurricane, Capn Sams neverreturned to the spit, though he lived to be91, a ripe old age in those days. Instead,he lived at Saw Pit, which is about 100yards rom the bridge to nowhere locatedon the gol course at Cassique. Fromthere he could look out on the spit andreminisce about his good ortune andthe $50 million in gold coins that laysomewhere under the white sands o thespit.

Otentimes, Capn Sams would takethe river down to Charles owne to sell

lumber and to visit his old riend CaptainRaynor. In the late 1600s, the r ivers werethe roads, and as soon as Capn Samsboat hit the water, seven dolphins begancavorting around his boat, and when hepassed a certain place on the spit, theseseven beasts slid up onto the beach. Samsknew the beasts were trying to show him

where the Spanish coins lay, but Samswasnt interested. For Sams lie was nowall sevens. oday, the descendants o theseseven dolphins still propel themselvesonto the beach, and to them, the mulletare gold. Tis stranding passed downthrough the generations as a lesson romtheir seven ancestors; an attempt to righta wrong.

Editors note: Tis story was originallywritten in Sidis hand on seven sheets opaper, though that was not his intention.Te legend o sevens lives on even in thetelling o the tale.rip to Capn Sams!

Tis Saturday, November 1, SidiLimehouse will be hosting a reekayaking trip to Capn Sams Inlet. oregister, sign up at www.kiawahriver.org. Te group will meet at Mingo Pointat 10:30am and the kayaks will launch

with the tide at 11am. A ree lunch obarbeque and resh vegetables will beserved aterwards at Rosebank Farms.Donations are encouraged to help undthe eorts to protect Capn Sams Spit.

My parents were scienticallytrained. My Mom is a retiredregistered nurse who taught

us to read prescription directions threetimes beore dispensing. My Dadmajored in chemistry rst becominga pharmaceutical salesman beorededicating his lie to the amily businesso education. He introduced us to the useo the scientic method: test, observe,record, repeat. I applied this training atmy job while working at the largest Bi-Loin South Carolina at the bypass in MountPleasant.

I needed a job post hastedue to adisagreement within a amily-ownedcompany which I dearly loved and servedas a manager. Te sell-out, combined

with an unexpected divorce, immediatelyconverted me into Deli Dwight, the latenight cookie monger. But I made thebest o the situation and, drawing rommy chemisty-oriented past, I developeda scientic method to produce as near-perect a cookie as possible not too dry,

too moist or too sticky.One night around 4am I was putting

away the reshly washed cookie pans and waiting or Nancy, the early morningbread baker, to replace me. Everything

was as usual upon her arrival. I broughtNancy up to date with the happenings othe previous night. All o a sudden weboth heard two mufed but distinct malevoices a ew eet away to our right, butor the lie o us we couldnt see who was

talking, though they seemed to emanaterom one well-dened point.

Tis, however, wasnt a particularlyunusual event or the old store. Besideshearing voices, employees had noticedthat reezer doors would oten open lateat night no matter how hard they were

slammed shut. One night, though, I waslucky enough to see some o these strangeevents in action.

Raw cookie dough was always kept inthe reezer, twelve dozen to a box. Teycould be really gross i they thawed, so it

was imperative that the reezer door bekept shut. However, one particular nightas I was standing next to the reezers, Iheard the blower ans kick in. Tat wasthe clue! With no one in the reezerprior to the ans turning on, the reezercompartment was virtually airtight.Te atmospheric pressure was equal onboth sides. Once the ans kicked in, thepressure inside increased above that on theoutside, pushing the door open gently. Itested and retested. Tere went that ghosttheory, I thought.

But now we had mufed voices withno bodies. We rst checked to see i there

was either a communications speaker orcustomer in the vicinity, but there werenone to be ound. I even checked to see ia microphone might have been let keyedon. Tis was not the case, nor were thereany male workers nearby.

Since the deli side and bakery side joinat almost perect right angles, I theorized

that there might have been a parabolic disheect collecting sounds rom the otherside o the store, much like a magniyingglass collects sunlight and ocuses it to asingle ne point o intensied light. Intheory, this sounded like the solution.Tere was just one problem there weretoo many obstructions in the way betweenthe ront o the store where the voices wereheard and the back where they might beoriginating. Celetex (acoustical tile) hungrom the drop down ceiling, preventingstore sounds rom echoing throughout thebuilding. Plus, the sounds would have totake a ricochet path around to eventuallybounce up over a ve oot counter to dropexactly in that spot. Te last place to check

was the roo to see i there were workers

around. Tere were none. Besides, eveni there had been work on the roo aboveour area, we would have heard something- at least a bump or a thump - other thanmere voices.

Eventually, the voices just aded asquickly as they appeared, leaving

Nancy and I at a loss with no logicalexplanation.

Lets start something new! I youhave a story that just cannot be explainedby ordinary means, please send it to:[email protected]. Includeyour name, e-mail address, and phonenumber (with area code). Maybe we cansolve your mystery or pass it on to those

who can.
