After four long and sometimes bitter years, thechildren of Sullivans, Isle of Palms, Goat andDewees islands nally have their new school.

And what a school it is.Although it doesnt ofcially open until school starts

on Monday, Aug. 18, 2014. The Island Eye News wasable to take a peek inside, under the watch of principalSusan King, and get the scoop on the new school andwhat lies in wait for the students and their parents

next week.The rst thing that strikes you as you walk in theentrance of SIES is a sense of light and openness.

There are large windows looking into all the classroomsand you can see straight through to the other side ofthe building, where the ocean lies, just beyond themaritime forest.

THE AMENDMENT DOESNT JUST ADDRESS COFFEE

SHOPSIT CLARIFIES REGULATIONS ON ALL THE

RESTAURANTS AND WILL HELP WITH ENFORCING SOMEOF THE ISSUES YOUVE RAISED." ~ Drew Harris

The issue of the so-called Coffee ShopOrdinance was discussed for the rsttime by Sullivans Island Town Council

at its Aug. 4 workshop, following the passing

of the rst reading of the ordinance at its Julymeeting.Council workshops are an informal meeting

where audience members and the councilmembers are able to engage in dialogue notallowed at the more rigid council meetings.

The Coffee Shop Ordinance will amendsections of the ordinance that governs eatingestablishments on the island. The changeswill alter the denitions for restaurant,adding a use category for Food ServiceEstablishments, and adding severalcategories and denitions of food serviceestablishments; Coffee Shop, Restaurant,and Bakery and Delicatessen.

Councilman Pat ONeil, chairman ofthe Land Use and Natural Resourcescommittee, which is overseeing the PlanningCommissions management of the eating

establishment ordinance change, initiateddiscussions with the small crowd of islanderswho came to the meeting.

If we are currently limiting restaurantsto one block on Middle between stations 221/2 and 22 what was the discussion aboutlimiting coffee shops to that same block? heasked.

The thinking behind that is that if youjust allowed it in that one block it wouldlimit it to one establishment, because of the

300 foot rule. And that mightbe considered illegal, RandyRobinson, the Towns buildingofcial, responded. The reason

the distance was put in there is tostop people opening coffee shopsnext door to each other.

The Commission went with theapproach of looking at the changethroughout the district, not just in thecommercial core, which falls in line with goodplanning principles, Lisa Darrow, assistantto the City Administrator, said. Then theylooked at trying to create a balance with the300 foot buffer, which coincidentally resultedin the allowance of one on each block.

Mayor Perkins then stressed that changingthe ordinance is in no way designed toincrease the size of the commercial district.Thats not going to happen, he said.

Resident Chuck Galis, who has been a vocalopponent of the ordinance change as it nowstands, continued to express his concerns.

This continues to be so troubling to me onso many different levels, he said. This is theumpteenth meeting weve sat at and nobodycan get their arms around this. I just dontfeel we are ready to nail it down.

Im fully supportive of the continuation ofthe Caf Medley model in the one block area,he continued. There can be three of them.But what I call the march down Middle Streetof food and beverage is very troubling to me.Enforcement is going to be impossible. I dont

think its dened enough despite all the effort,were just not there yet. Enforcement is mybig deal here. What do our current ordinancesrequire in terms of verifying alcohol sales?

This question prompted much raising ofeyebrows and murmuring among the councilmembers and town staffers present, nallyproducing the answer: Nothing.

Thats really troubling to learn, Pat ONeilsaid. If were saying the restaurants have tobe at 49 percent or less (alcohol consumption),then we have to stay on top of that. There arean awful lot of beer trucks on the streets inthe morning.

I disagree that this hasnt been thought

about enough, said Bill Ross of AtlanticAvenue. I think its actually very well written,very protective of the city and what our goalsare in managing this growth. We can alwayscome up with a crazy loopholebut a lot ofthese fears are pretty impractical. It would behard to sneak a restaurant on this island andmake money. I support the ordinance youhave come up with so far.

ANY IMPROVEMENTS WILL HAVE TO BEPLANNED, BUDGETED AND PHASED SO THATTHE WORK CAN BE PERFORMED DURING THEOFF-SEASON."

A

fter going back to thedrawing board several times,

the Isle Of Palms PlanningCommission has completedits nal Request For Proposalsfor the Isle of Palms MarinaComprehensive RedevelopmentMaster Plan. The RFP calls forlocal contractors to help createa comprehensive redevelopmentplan for the existing marina,which is located on the east sideof the Intracoastal Waterway. TheCitys goal is for the creation ofa parking study and interim planthat will deal with the currentparking issue, then lay out aproposal to deal with the otherissues in stages.

When the project to renovatethe marina was originally planned

the City budgeted $175,000.However, after making some lastminute cuts to the 2015 budget,Council removed $100,000 ofthe funds for this project. Nowwith only $75,000 budgeted forthe renovations, John Shaffer,

the author of the RFP, believesthat it would be advantageous to

price each step of the renovationsindividually, that way the Citycan remove and negotiate parts ofthe overall plan to t within thebudget.

The ve-page RFP lists thecurrent issues withthe Marina. Theseare:

PARKINGThe Planning

Commission askedShaffer, after theirmeeting on July 9,to amend the RFP toput more emphasis on the marinaparking lot. It was important to thecommission to include parking as

the rst step due to its currentstate. On weekends, parkingdemand for boat trailers, visitorsand employees at the marinaand other businesses oftenexceeds the available spaces, thecommission said. This creates amanagement challenge for thebusiness and also results in carsand trailers parking in nearbyneighborhoods.

DRY STACKA dry stack is a marina facility

that stores boats in a coveredbuilding. They hope that thedry stack will positively impactrevenue, parking, congestion,

etc. by stacking the boats on topof one another they will use lessspace.

OTHER IMPROVEMENTSThe City plans to implement

changes to the marina inconcurrent phases, to preventexceeding available funds for

the project. Using a set of phasesensures that the City will have

time to raise the funds necessarybefore completing each step.Any improvements will have

to be planned, budgeted andphased so that the work can beperformed during the off-season,

minimizing the impacts to themarina businesses and theirrevenue, the commission said.

With this plan in place, theproposed completion date forthe marina redevelopment issometime in 2015/2016.

The RFP further describes thetasks of the project, includingcreating a parking studyand interim plan, making aproject information update andreview, scoping the stakeholderworkshop, regulator andengineering feasibility, marinaand dry stack market assessment,redevelopment plan, pro formanancial analysis, and meetingsand coordination.

The next step is to have theRFP reviewed by city staffers andthe city lawyer.

We can expect it to bepublished and out for bids inAugust or September, said CityAdministrator, Linda Tucker.

Resorting to Personal Attacks

It is indeed sad that IOP resident ScottKegel would resort to personal attacksto denigrate the efforts of hundreds ofSullivans Island residents to protectand preserve our historic communitythrough the referendum process. Andwith such self-interested comments!

Kegel will presumably be able to havehis children attend SIES, without everhaving to contend with the increase intrafc and congestion that SI residentswill soon experience daily.

Nor will he be required to pay theincreased property taxes and feesSullivans Island Town Council is nowimposing on its residents. Had a smallerschool been built, and even a portion ofthe beachfront property been availablefor residential development, TownCouncil would not need to be takingon debt and selling off other Townproperties to pay for long-neglectedsewer repairs, a new re truck and anew Town Hall. Moreover, Town Councilkept the information about increasing

property taxes and fees conveniently

under wraps until after the school wasunder construction.

Judge Dennis written ruling remainsconfusing, because it appears tocontradict his courtroom comments.

Judge Dennis said in court that SIresidents had complied with all lawsto have a proposed ordinance eitherinitiated or submitted to the electorate

for a vote. But in his written ruling,he held that those residents must alsobear the burden of ling a lawsuit toforce the Town to comply with the law.Is that really what state law intends?So confusing is this holding, that ourattorney has led a motion for JudgeDennis to reconsider his ruling andamend the nal order.

Maybe Scott Kegel should be a littleless self-interested and a little moreinformed of the facts before commentingon issues that negatively impact theresidents of a neighboring municipality.

IOP Police Chief Thomas Buckhannon meets with local

On Wednesday, July 30, ofcers from theIsle of Palms Police Department metwith community members to discuss

community issues, build relationships, anddrink coffee at Hudsons Market in WildDunes.

The majority of contacts law enforcement haswith the public happen during emergencies,

or emotionalsituations. Thosesituations are notalways the mosteffective timesfor relationshipbuilding with thecommunity, andsome communitymembers may feelthat ofcers areunapproachableon the street.

Coffee with aCop breaks downbarriers and allowsfor a relaxed, one-on-one interaction.

We hope that community members willfeel comfortable to ask questions, bringconcerns, or simply get to know our ofcers,said Chief Thomas Buckhannon prior to theevent. These interactions are the foundationof community partnerships.

Coffee with a Cop is a national initiativesupported by The United States Departmentof Justice, Ofce of Community Oriented

Policing Services. Similar events are being heldacross the county, as local police departmentsstrive to make lasting connections with thecommunities they serve.

Two sea turtles rehabilitated at the SouthCarolina Aquarium Sea Turtle RescueProgram were returned home on August

6, 2014. Bay, a Kemp's ridley sea turtle, andMitchel, a loggerhead sea turtle.

Bay, an 11-pound juvenile Kemp's ridley

sea turtle, was accidentally caught by asherman at the Edisto Beach State Parkshing pier in June of this year. Bay swallowedthe shing hook and was quickly transportedto the South Carolina Aquarium Sea TurtleRescue Program where Veterinarian Dr.Shane Boylan surgically removed the hookfrom Bay's esophagus. Had the shermansimply cut the line leaving the hook in Bay'sthroat, the endangered turtle could have died.After surgery, Bayreceived antibiotics,vitamins, and ahealthy diet ofassorted sh. Afterthree months ofcare, Bay is fullyhealed and readyto return to theAtlantic Ocean.

Mitchel, a65-pound juvenileloggerhead seaturtle, was foundstranded in the pluff

mud on Hilton HeadIsland in May of this

year. Mitchel wasfound entangledin a shing rig,malnourished,anemic and coveredin barnacles. Uponadmission to theSouth CarolinaAquarium Sea Turtle

Rescue Program, Mitchel was in a dangerousstate of decline. The shing line, weight, andhook were all removed, and Rescue Programstaff administered uids, antibiotics,vitamins, and a healthy diet. With a clean billof health, Mitchel has been swimming aroundhis/her tank and is enjoying a healthy dietin preparation for the trip back into the openocean.

Loggerhead eggs normallytake 45 to 60 days tohatch. Our rst few nests

have produced tiny loggerheadsalready. There is an amazingprocess involved from the timethey are deposited in the sand bythe mother until the hatchlingscrawl to the ocean. Many thingshave to be just right for theirsuccessful emergence from thenest.

A good nest site must havean easy access to the ocean, ahigh enough angle or enoughof a setback from the water sothat the nest is not routinelyinundated by the ocean as well asbeing high enough so that risingground water does not enter theegg chamber. The sand must bemoist enough to prevent collapseduring construction of the egg

chamber, and it must be porousenough to allow gas diffusionduring incubation. These eggshave tiny pores in them whereoxygen enters and carbon dioxideis discharged.

Sea turtle eggs are soft andleathery which helps to cushionthem as they are laid and they arelled with a large rich yolk andclear albumen very much like a

chicken egg. During incubationthe temperature determines thesex of the developing embryos.

The pivotal temperature forloggerhead incubation is 28.74degrees Celsius or approx85 degrees Fahrenheit. If thetemperature within the nest isabove this during the middleweeks of incubation, the resultwill be female turtles. Below itwill produce males.

The hatchlings break outof their leathery shells witha sharp red caruncle or eggtooth on their beaks which thendisappears. Their shells, whichhave been curved inside the egg,begin to straighten out, and theyabsorb a yolk sac that is attachedto their umbilical area. This givesthem the nutrients they need tomake their journey out to sea.

Over a few days more than onehundred hatchlings come out oftheir shells in an average nest.

They are one to two feet underthe ground as they start to climbtoward the surface. They worktogether digging themselves up,normally taking 3 or 4 days to getto the surface. If the sand is soft,it may cave in a little since theturtles take up less space than

their eggs did earlier. The airspace under the sand moves upwith them as they all cooperate

and move up as a mass.As they near the surface theheat of the sand on top has animmobilizing effect on them,keeping them from coming outduring the heat of the day,which prevents heat stress andpredation. In the evening thesand cools, and this is their cueto come out and make a break for

the ocean. Once again being in alarge group is benecial becausepredators would have a hard time

capturing all of them. The luckyones make it to the ocean wheremore predators are waiting. Thegoal is to get to the Gulf Streamwhere they can nd protection inthe oating rafts of Sargassumweed where their ocean journey

Its always been importantto me that Escapada exudesa relaxed, yet vibrant look. Iwanted to create a line of casual,comfortable clothing that couldbe worn effortlessly at the beachand then transition to city

nights, Castillo says. And thatsa lifestyle that Castillo not onlylives herself, but also sees inother Lowcountry women whohave quickly become repeatshoppers.

Our Signature store at BelleHall in Mount Pleasant allows usto interact with our customerson a daily basis and ensures ourstyles are relating to the Escapadawoman. We are thrilled to get toknow our local customers on amore personal level.

Shoppers at the Signaturestore can nd Escapadas newestofferings as well as selectedaccessories, home and giftitems from equally energetic yetclassic brands like Lilly Pulitzer,Donna Morgan and SusanaMonaco. Many items shareCastillos love of dotty graphicslike oversized anchor and trellisprints, or easygoing details likeself-tie waists or ofce-friendlynecklines.

The brands global appeal hasgiven it a worldwide reach, withthe Escapada line appearing inover 2,000 specialty boutiquesand luxury resorts in 10countries. Jetsetters may cometo mind, but for Castillo, theconsumer she designs for is morelike a neighbor.

Our customer is a daughter,

mother, and grandmotherbecause our styles are agelessthey appeal to all generationsand all body types. From fun,irty dresses to attering tunics,we have a style that appeals toeveryone, she says.

Throughout the bounty ofbright designs, theres a threadthat connects Escapadaswearable stylesrayon. Theversatile and silky fabricwas purposely chosen for itslightweight ease and attering t.

Our rayon is not only softto the touch, but drapes wellon your body so it really looksgood on all body types. This isvery important to me, to create a

product that not only looks great,but is comfortable to wear, too.I strive to keep the line fresh,

youthful and colorful, Castillosays.

Much of the bold and playfulaesthetic is drawn from time

spent at Castillos beachy abode,a bungalow on Goat Island.

Its a tropical paradise andI nd its the perfect place toescape and design my collection.It was really love at rst sightIfell in love with the house the rsttime I saw it. Lush vegetationsurrounds the bungalow and mycolorful styles are inspired bythe islands beauty and carefreelifestyle, Castillo says.

Off the island, Castillo getsdown to business thanks toother locals, namely College ofCharleston alums.

The most important resourcefor our business has been accessto great peopleI have beenfortunate to nd many of myemployees through the Collegeof Charleston. They are alwayssmart, energetic, hardworkingand passionate. Its thesepeople that I credit with a lot ofEscapada's success, Castillosays.

Yet the companys success isalso owed to passionate shopperswho seek the company out, notonly at their Signature store, butother locally owned boutiqueswith owners and buyers whocome back each season for theversatile beachwear.

I can't say enough aboutthe Charleston community.

So many people have gone outof their way to support andembrace Escapada, nding usin local stores and now visitingour Signature store, Castillosays. We love making sure ourclothing continues to reects thislifestyle.

Next for Castillo and EscapadaLiving is an e-commerce site andadditional Signature stores withmore product categories to sateloyalists of the lifestyle brand.

Our customers are in love withour vivid colors and prints, soexpanding our brand into areaslike bed and bath is a naturalprogression, Castillo says.

Escapada continues from page 4

begins.According to Michelle Pate, Program Coordinator of the

South Carolina Department of Natural Resources Marine TurtleConservation Program, here are some things you can do to help seaturtles:

Obey local and county lighting ordinances.

Observe from a distance. If you encounter a nesting turtle, do

not shine lights on her or take ash photography. Stay behind

the turtle so she cannot see you. Lights and human presence

can cause her to abandon her nest effort.

Do not touch or prod an animal to move. Stay out of the way

as she crawls back to the water.

Turn off exterior lights visible from the beach, dusk to dawn,

from May through October.

Close blinds and drapes on windows where interior lights can

be seen from the beach or ocean.

No ashlights, reworks or bonres on the beach.

Fill in large holes dug on the beach at the end of the day

because adult sea turtles and hatchlings can become trapped

in them.

Remove beach chairs and other items from the beach and

dunes at the end of the day that could obstruct a sea turtle

when nesting or emerging hatchlings.

If you encounter sea turtle hatchlings on the beach on an emerging

nest: Do not approach any sea turtle hatchlings. Give them plenty

of space.

Do not carry or help hatchlings to the ocean.

Do not shine any lights on or take ash photography of the

hatchlings.

COMPUTER CORNER

Those hackers areat it again

BY BOB HOOPER

FOR ISLAND EYE NEWS

You would think that with all the info around today abouthackers, scammers, malware and just plain thieves thatno one would fall for a phone call, email phishing or

fake website, but it happens all the time. Let's look at some ofthe recent ones that are going around the islands.

You get a phone call from "Microsoft" or maybe a "Microsoftafliate" that you did not start. What I mean is the call comesout of the blue and the person informs you that your computeris infected/running slow/has invalid software and you needhis/her help. It is out and out a scam. Either hang up when

you hear Microsoft or l isten for a bit and make sure but inthe end just hang up. I've had clients tell me that the personcalling will cuss them, repeatedly call back, whatever theycan do to get

you to spendmoney. Can

you imaginesomeoneworking for

Microsoftcalling you,then gettingmad when you won't spend $89 or $149 or more to "x"

your computer; of course not, so don't fall for it. No one fromMicrosoft or any other reputable business would call youwithout you rst initiating the contact. I would not call youout of the blue to sell you something and you should be verywary of those that do.

Next up is the email that comes from your best friend orsome business that is fake. I'm sure you have received anemail that has only an internet link in the body of the emailand may or may not have a heading; well it's most likely a viruswaiting to infect your computer. Unless your friend tells youin another email or calls you, consider the email infected anddelete right away. The same goes for that email from FedEx orUSPS/UPS that informs you a package is being delivered orsomething is wrong with the delivery. It wants you to click ona link that sends you to an "ofcial" website, which is really afake and infected with all kinds of bad stuff. They send theseout by the millions and always nd someone waiting on apackage so it seems OK. None of these companies will send

you an email unless you start the ball rolling; if you wentto the website and asked for email notications. Same goesfor email from your bank, stock broker, etc. that is not yourusual correspondence with them. The baddies can make theemail and the website look very real but small things shouldtrick them up such as misspelled words or wording that doesnot make sense.

Remember that if it is un-solicited, either a phone call oran email, the chances of it being a scam are huge. Don't fallfor one of the oldest tricks in the book, this is called "socialengineering" in that the bad guy is trying to get you to dosomething because you feel it's OK. They prey on our goodnature and want us to believe no one could be that bad. Beaware and don't fall for the scams. If you are not sure or area victim of one please call or email me for help.

As always if you have questions or need help you can callRent A Bob at 843.822.7794 or email [email protected].

NO ONE FROM MICROSOFT OR ANY OTHER

REPUTABLE BUSINESS WOULD CALL YOU

Enforcement of the alcohol issue is very interesting, residentMichael Bourne said. The creep of the alcohol and beverage industrydown Middle Street is what concerns me. Its a risk / benet scenario.

The town has no need for a new ordinance. But we do have a risk inputting out a new ordinance. Theres risk without any need. Thatswhat I dont understand.

Drew Harris, owner of Caf Medley on Middle Street, responded tothis by expressing his belief that the recent hiring of the towns rstZoning Administrator in eight years, Joe Henderson, will go a longway in helping to enforce the current zoning code.

The town hasoperated for eight

years without a zoningadministrator and Ithink Joe has shownthe benet of havingone already, he said.The amendmentdoesnt just addresscoffee shopsit

claries regulations on all the restaurants and will help with enforcingsome of the issues youve raised.

Currently in the zoning there is no existing possibility for a small,locally-focused business for grabbing a sandwich on the way toschool, sitting down over coffee with the neighbors, he continued.Residents want that kind of locally driven, resident-focused businessto be available because generally the existing restaurants service off-island visitors. Whats being discussed is focused on local, on-islandresidents.

The second reading and ratication of the Coffee Shop ordinanceis on the agenda for the Town Council meeting of Tuesday, Aug 19.

This proximity to Mother Naturesswimming pool is deeply engrained into thebuilding, its aesthetic and its purpose. As aCoastal Environment partial magnet, part ofthe schools vision is to create inquiry basedlearners equipped with the skills to exploreand contribute as stewards of the Earth andenvironment.

The concept of water, the ocean, the beachand all that inhabit them features heavilythroughout the buildings design and dcor.

From the occasional porthole window (Myidea, says King. Not everyone was crazyabout them, but I think it gives a sense ofwhimsy) and the 1,000 gallon touch tankthat will be lled with sea creatures, to themany variations of blues, greens, yellows andpink (yes pink!) paint that adorn its walls and

oors this is truly a schoolunlike any other.

As King walked us throughthe building, describing thedifferent elements, eachinevitably came back to ateacher. The staff it seemswas intimately involved withthe schools design, and Kingis clearly incredibly proud ofwhat has been achieved.

The big thing with thisbuilding is the exibility ofthe spaces, she said. Theform of the building, the ideaof using spaces in multiplegroups. Its a direction thewhole of education is movingin. Using the outdoors in ourteaching is a key element.Having children be moreaware of the real world, beingout in nature, blended withtechnology.

The divide between indoorsand outdoors is wonderfully blurred inthe school. Each grade has been given atheme connected to the outdoors, and theclassrooms are painted in line with that.

The grades each represent a differentecosystem, King said. 4th and 5th are theocean, 3rd is the saltmarsh, 1st and 2nd the

maritime forest and Kindergarten the beach.The blues, greens and yellows of the wallsare complimented by teal blue seats, whichcreate a feeling that the blue skies and greentrees which peer in through all the windows,are actually right there in the room with you.

I love working with color, King said. Thecolor for each grade is a unique idea, it will

provide a sense of community, a sense ofwhere I am.

There are two learning balconies wherethe students will have lessons outdoors,overlooking the beach, and an outdoorclassroom under the school, which offers theopportunity to work outside, rain or shine.And of course the maritime forest and beach,

with all the educational opportunities theyoffer, are literally a stones throw away.

The culmination of close to ve yearsof planning and a great deal of teacherinvolvement, SIES has a number of unique

Management, who oversaw the construction of the school.

and carefully thought out features that aresure to delight and inspire its students:

A Wet Lab: What every school needsis a room with a drain in the oor.

This specially designed lab will allowstudents to get their hands dirty withMother Nature. The centerpieces arethe three, 50 gallon touch tanksonesaltwater, one freshwater, one brackish

waterand the 1,000 gallon tank,where students can put the creaturesthey discover while seining the ocean.

The tanks will all be portable, so theycan roll between classrooms.

Two Learning Balconies: King isworking with Green Rooftop Outttersto transform the two large balconiesinto outdoor classrooms. There willbe six planters on each balcony, threewith different types of native grassesand three for the students to plant in.

Well also have afabulous camera up herethat can shoot out inthe ocean, as well as atelescope, King said.

Teaching Walls: SIESboasts the newest versionof the CCSD-teacher-designed classroom toolknown as a TeachingWall. Essentially awhole wall dedicated toshelving, white boardsand a smart board, thedevice puts all of theteachers tools within

easy reach while he or she is teaching.It also frees up the rest of the room fromthe clutter of cupboards, creating morespace for the students. The TeachingWall allows the teacher to stage eachportion of the lesson right behind himor her, because the white boards slideto revel shelving and cupboards behind.

The wall also stores and charges all thestudents iPads.

1 to 1 iPad program: iPads are fullyintegrated into the schools teachingmethods. We took an iPad trainingclass this summer and it really changedthe way I saw the iPad, King said. Itenables the teacher to provide structureand facilitate the lesson, while allowingthe student to take more responsibilityfor their own learning. Its not for mathdrills, its a tool for projects and research

Bathrooms: The student bathroomshave been designed specically toallow the teachers to be able to see thechildren when they are not in the stalls,helping minimize any opportunities for

bullying. Small Group Rooms: Several of thelarger classrooms have small grouprooms attached to them. This wasanother teacher initiative and will allowa teacher to break a group out of themain class to work on an individualproject. The teachers also have anumber of shared teacher workroomsscattered throughout the school wherethere will be printers and other toolsthey need to plan their lessons.

Outdoor Classroom:The entire spacebeneath the school, which is open due tothe school being in a ood zone, will betransformed into an outdoor classroom,complete with a tricycle track. Its stillunder construction, but will eventuallyprovide a large space for classes to be

able to work outdoors regardless of theweather.

State of the Art Kitchen: SIES isone of the rst schools to implementa special, healthy variety-based menu,which features a salad and soup bar.There is a lot of emphasis on wellnessand nutrition, King said. And kids willeat on real trays, not Styrofoam.

This 4th/5th grade classroom is ocean-themed. The Teaching Wall seen here is a

feature of each classroom in the school and helps teachers stage lessons.

Multi-Purpose Room:A staple in all modern schools, thislarge space can be divided in two to provide a lunch roomand a PE room. This one however has spectacular viewsof the Atlantic Ocean courtesy of its wall of oor to ceilingwindows. There are plans to put outdoor tables on the longbalcony so students can sit out there and breathe in the saltair as they eat their lunch.

Other Rooms:As with most schools, there is a dedicated artroom, music room, library and computer rooms. Each oneis state-of-the-art, light, bright and airy and just waitingfor children to embark on a lifetime of learning. But its

the science and math lab that is particularly impressive,and highlights the schools status as a STEM, (Science,

Technology, Engineering and Math) model school. Its allabout tinkering, King said. Using technology not just fortechnologies sake but to make things with it.

As we toured all the high tech, impressive features incorporatedinto the school, King stopped in one room and proudly pointedout the telephone.

Every classroom in the school has a phone, she said excitedly.All these things weve never had before. I think people dont realize

the digs weve been living in these past four years. We nally have adishwasher. Weve never had a dishwasher before, not even in the oldschool.

While there have been many, many challenges bringing this newschool building to life, the one King would like people to focus on now,and truly understand is that this isnt just about a new building.

Our whole curriculum has changed. Coastal Environmenteducation incorporates nature into learning, King said. Its our focus,it helps us capture the childrens attention, to make connections onboth a global scale and a personal one.

Left, the state of the art cafeteria offers a special healthy and varied menu. Above, one

of two "Learning Balconies," these spaces will feature large planters to help educate

students on the natural world.

The school is entering its thirdyear as a science/math/CoastalEnvironment partial magnet school,and is partnering with the DNR,the South Carolina Aquarium andKingsher Environment to integratemath and science through out thecurriculum. Children will take specialscience based eld trips, listen to guestspeakers and most importantly havelots of hand-on learning facilitated bythe wet lab and science and math lab.

Getting people to think abouteducation differently is much harderthan you think, King said. Its almostlike religion, you have all these setideas about how it should be.

If anything will help peopleunderstand how SIES is transforming,it will be this new school. Parents andstudents will have the opportunity totour it on the rst day, Monday, Aug.18, and the community is invited to awalkthrough, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.on Saturday, Sept. 27. In the meantime,King and her team are working hard tomake sure everything is ready on thatrst day of school. And while thereare inevitably still a few loose ends totie up, and a few elements that wontbe in place immediately, the school is

somewhat miraculously ready to go.Our goal is to have a positive, safeand organized rst day, and we areright on track, King said.

The school is in a word amazing,and all it really needs now, to make ittruly incredible, are some bright youngminds to teach.

The multipurpose room can be divided in two to operate as a cafeteria and PE room, as well as an auditorium. Large

windows are a dominant feature in the school, letting in natural light throughout.

Charleston is a great placeto be shing, no matterwhat type of sh you

want to catch, they are all active

and biting. Fishing for redshand trout remains strong evenwith increasingly warmer watertemperatures. Seasonal specieslike Spanish mackerel, ladysh,bluesh and shark are also stillavailable.

Weve been targeting redshwith articial lures especiallyaround low tide. The longer jerkshad lures that worked so wellin the spring are still productive.However, we have had better luckthrowing smaller articials likeZmans 3 3/4 Streakz in smokeyshad. With both, we have beenusing utter hooks to put moreaction on the lure. Remember tovary your rate of retrieve until

you nd what works best.Popping corks and trout

remain perfect together. Localshrimp are still relatively smallso we have been sticking withmud minnows paired with size 1circle hooks. Popping corks canbe hard to recover once wrappedaround a dock piling or hungup on a shell rake. Ill attach 20pound test line to the top of my

corks and attach the bottom ofmy corks to the circle hook with15 pound test line. If all goes wellwhen you pull hard, the line willsnap at the hook and you will get

your cork back.For a species that shes well

irrespective of the temperature,sharks t the bill. Even in the

middle of the afternoon, they willbe cruising and eagerly eating.With so many bait stealersaround, we have at times beenshing an entire live blue crabon a 7/0 circle hook. You'll ndthat sharks will drop such a largebait more frequently than smallerbaits, but the sharks that hang

on are the big ones!Fly shing has been quite good.

The best patterns now seem to beshrimp imitations with or without

epoxy. Especially at low tide, youllbe able to see redsh streakingdown the banks with their backsout of water as they try to corrallive shrimp. Cast your y in frontof a charging redsh and holdon! The shrimp patterns workvery well even when you cant seeredsh working the banks.

See you on the water!
