President’s ReportIt was a terrifi c Fourth celebration; of course, I’m talking about the Hilton Head Plantation Property Owners' Fourth of July — HHP Day, we like to call it. There was everything imaginable for the children and adults. The big parade is the kickoff. What a delight to see all of the decorated bikes and trikes and most of all, the enthusiasm of the children. It was a beautiful, but very hot day which did not dampen the spirit. Games of chance, a tumble house, pie throwing, dunk the manager — all topped off with pizza, hot dogs, Sno-cones, cotton candy, popcorn, and much more. If you and your family missed the good time, put it on your calendar for next year.

I would be remiss if I did not give credit to Chrissy Fly and Keriann Ginter. They spend many long hours in planning and recruiting all the people to make it work. My congratulations also to the staff and volunteers who work so hard to make it all happen. Thank you one and all. They do all this on top of their regular duties of running Kids Kamp and overseeing the POA activities.

The POA Board of Directors selected and issued a contract for the building of the new Spring Lake Pavilion at our July meeting. The building will be built under the guidance of the architects, Lee & Parker, and Graves Construction Company. Both are locally owned companies with experience in building structures like the Spring Lake Pavilion. The Board has also begun the annual budgeting process. The staff have submitted preliminary requests, which will be massaged over the next months prior to announcing our budget for 2012.

The contracts have been approved, BUT, we have to get certifi cates from DHEC, The Army Corps of Engineers, and, of course, the Town of Hilton Head before anything can proceed. We are encouraged that we will get these certifi cates in a timely fashion. Dealing with government agencies is not straightforward and encompasses personalities, regulations, and expediency. The later is something that is not on the mind of any governmental personage. To that end, the services of our elected offi cials have helped. Without the help of our Representative Andy Patrick and Senator Tom Davis, the whole permitting process could take a lot longer.

Memorial contributions are being accepted for the new Spring Lake complex. You may contact Chrissy Fly for suggestions at 681-8800, ext. 226.

Another great event by our Activities Department was the evening concert with "Drivetrain". I have never seen such a large turnout for any activity.

You may have seen some big covered trailers going in and out of the POA storage yard on Surrey Lane. They are bringing in rock which will be used for the Bluff later this year and next. Since the rock has to be hauled several hundred miles, diesel fuel becomes an important part of the cost. Our contractor had offered to take advantage of the cheaper fuel and haul the rock and stockpile it for later use and reduce the cost to us.

Progress is being made in getting better cell phone coverage. Will it happen quickly? No, but it will improve. Our cell tower provider, Crown Castle Solutions, is considering adding two locations and one of the providers of service will increase power. Nobody ever said change comes rapidly.

General Manager’s Report

Coffee with PeterOur next Coffee is scheduled for Thursday, September 29, 10:00 AM, at the Plantation House. Besides our usual updates, Darin Shoemaker, the Town of Hilton Head’s Traffi c Engineer, will update us on transportation projects in progress and on the drawing board both on and off the Island.

Back to schoolYoungsters throughout the community are back at school. Please be alert to our young scholars waiting for busses and riding their bikes to classes. Remember, every year we have a new crop of little ones who are not yet savvy to the ways of motor vehicles and busses. Give yourself a little extra time because stopping school busses will slow you down, and remember, both sides of traffi c must stop for a stopped school bus. Let’s make sure all of our children get to school safely. Parents, please remind your children that motor vehicles have the right-of-way at all crosswalks on the Plantation.

The Hot Dog MeterOur community works so well due to our abundance of volunteers. Our July 4th celebration is one of the many opportunities volunteers have to give back to the HHP community. Once again, a well-deserved thank you to the army of volunteers who helped make HHP Day such a wonderful event for all in attendance. Mother Nature blessed us with another exceptional day. Once again, I was the fi rst to be perched atop the dunk tank. More than any other year, I spent more time under the water than above. I was under the water so often I accused our staff of holding practice sessions the day before the event. However, the age group that seemed to have the most success keeping me in the water was the 10 to 12-year-old crowd. Our kitchen crew composed of Betsy Weppner, John Ehlers, Frank and Edna Wilcher, and Wo and Lai Look reported that we once again sold out of the 450 slices of pizza on hand and ended up selling 350 hot dogs, which was down approximately 100 of that delicacy from last year!

At Keith Ferda’s notorious pie eating event, the winners were: Ages 7-8: 1st Place-Ethan Daruwalla; 2nd Place-Noah Gregory; 3rd Place-Jimmy Hawkins; Honorable Mention goes to Aubrey Zoodsma; Ages 9-10: 1st Place-Charlie Springer; 2nd Place-Keaton Stout; 3rd Place-Grace Tomaszewski; Ages 11-12: 1st Place-Brooke Davis; 2nd Place-Sofi a Springer, 3rd Place-Melissa Bonvissuto; Ages 13-14: 1st Place-Daniel Phillips; 2nd Place-Lacey Freeman.

For the watermelon eating contest, the following received recognition: Ages 4-5: 1st Place-Eric Bisignani;

2nd Place-Finn Gregory; Ages 6-7: 1st Place-Bryn Miller; 2nd Place-Nora Freeman; 3rd Place-Shawn Freeman; Honorable Mention-Aisha Freeman; Ages 8-9: 1st Place-Nicole Poppel; tied for 2nd Place-Joey Miller and Michael Zoodsma; tied for 3rd Place-Sadie Hager and Aiden Hiester; Ages 10+: 1st Place-Tommy Vater; 2nd Place-Sabrina Bleam; 3rd Place-Matthew Wiegel; Honorable Mention-Bryan Miller. Congratulations to all!

Spring Lake PavilionI am pleased to report that after a lengthy process, requests for quotations were solicited from six pre-qualifi ed companies. Four of the six companies responded with bid proposals. The HHPPOA Board approved a bid of $2,030,000 plus a 10% contingency to demolish the old Spring Lake Pavilion and build the new structure as designed by architect Tom Parker and the Land Planners of Wood+Partners. The project is estimated to take approximately nine months to complete. Due to the permitting requirements of the Army Corps of Engineers and DHEC-OCRM (Dept. of Health and Environmental Control-Ocean and Coastal Resource Management), the dock will most likely need to be built later next year after the permits are secured. The bid quoted for the project includes the dock, which will be broken out and subtracted from the total project fi gure if the dock permits remains outstanding. We hope to start demolition of the old structure in September after all equipment is moved to storage and the building is gutted of any useable items. These items will be donated to Habitat for Humanity.

This is a very exciting project and we are seeking a tight project schedule due to the need to have the facility open for the 2012 Kids Kamp program. While the new Spring Lake facility is under construction, user groups will be moved to Dolphin Head Pavilion or the Plantation House. Our evening aerobics classes will be held at the Dolphin Head Golf Club as will the monthly meetings of the Avid Gardeners. We would like to thank Dolphin Head Golf Club for their offer to accommodate our community’s needs during this important reconstruction project. We will keep you posted as this project moves forward.

Bike GateOne of the security measures we have in place is for pedestrian traffi c. This function is controlled via our two leisure paths that permit authorized access at both the Main and Cypress Gates. Re-entry for residents and their designated guests is via an access code entered into a keypad. The access code is posted on the HHP side of the gate. It has been brought to our attention that some residents are giving out the leisure path access code to individuals who do not have a guest pass in our system. Giving out the access

Page 4 - August 2011 POA Information


code without providing Security with the name of the guest and the host property owner who is responsible for the guest defeats the purpose of one of our many security measures that are in place to protect you from individuals who may have ill intentions.

Please only give the leisure path access code to authorized guests that have been issued a guest pass.

WebsiteIf you have not done so already, please visit the POA’s Website: www.hiltonheadplantation.com. Please consider signing up for our Email Alerts Services, which include Safety Alerts, Urgent Information, receiving Plantation Living online, and our Recreation updates. Signing up takes less than a minute and can be found under the Email Services tab on the left of the screen.

An Opportunity to Help - Lt. Dan Weekend A fundraising dinner to help raise money for the Independence Fund/Lt. Dan Weekend in Beaufort, (September 15-17) will be held Wednesday, August 17; 6:30 PM at the Country Club of Hilton Head. The cost is $50 per person. Your donation will help provide a better quality of life for our severely wounded soldiers and veterans. For information regarding this opportunity to assist our wounded veterans, please contact: Tom/Judy Larkin 843-689-3685 or 770-365-3781, [email protected]; Donna Frankoski 843-757-7494, [email protected]; Judy Ferguson 973-919-1362, [email protected]; or Mike O'Regan, [email protected].

Hurricane KitsIf you have not already done so, please review the POA’s Hurricane Preparedness Guide, which can be found on the POA’s Website: www.hiltonheadplantation.com under the Security Section or you can pick up a copy at the POA Service Center on Surrey Lane. Please review this very important material. You should have already prepared a Hurricane Evacuation Kit for yourself and your family. Your kit should be kept in a place where it is easily accessible and updated periodically. If you have not prepared a Hurricane Evacuation Kit, please review the section in the Hurricane Preparedness Guide on what items should be part of your kit. Remember, the time to prepare for a possible hurricane strike and possible evacuation is before a threat is imminent.

Water ConservationIf you have an in-ground irrigation system, please give the sprinkler heads a periodic tune up. Over time, these heads get out of adjustment and oftentimes put more water on your driveway and the street than they place on your turf and plant material.

General Manager’s Report(cont'd. from page 3)

“Harry Heron,” theCovenants Bird

This month’s focus: Garage Doors, Landscape Debris, The Farm, oh my!

No matter how early I begin my day trying to catch my fi rst fi sh (I'm defi nitely a breakfast person), there are those residents who are already out and busy doing their thing (walking, biking, jogging, gardening, tennis-ing — is that a word?). These past few months, some of you have voiced your concerns and suggested topics for upcoming articles (thanks!). Here are a couple of thoughts you shared.

Open Garage Doors. So “what’s the big deal”, you might say, or where is the harm with an open garage door? For most, it’s nothing to sweat about (and we've had some really hot temps lately!) … while others are bothered by having to view a few garage interiors that may be a bit unkempt (okay, I didn't say 'messy' but you know who you are). To be perfectly honest, the Plantation’s Rules & Regulations do not state that residents must keep their garage doors closed. However, I would think as a safety issue, keeping the garage door closed would eliminate easy access into your house by a burglar. Personal items should not be on display for would-be thieves to scan the contents within your garage.

Aside from the safety issue, my slithering neighbors (yes, I have all kinds of friends) love to hide in the corners of an open garage. As the fall and winter months approach, inside your garage offers very warm surroundings for many little rodent rascals who are seeking shelter from the cold, damp weather. I know it might be cute to discover a wren who is seeking shelter, but a family of opossums cohabiting for space is another matter. Reality check!

Also, do you really want the heat to escape and allow for a cooler airfl ow into your living space? (Think about the electric bill and energy conservation.) Words from a covenant and safety perspective: Keep your garage doors closed. Closing your garage door gives a neater image of your property and curb appeal for the neighboring properties. I fi nd it surprising and distressing that some residents keep their doors open all night! Whether your garage door is open or closed, it’s a personal choice but please heed the sound advice above.

From my vantage point 200 feet above the Plantation, it’s not hard to see the amount of debris being disposed of at the Landscape Drop Off area. Residents are fi lling their vehicles to the brim with all sorts of debris to dump at the POA’s convenient site. You can barely see their heads as they drive their vehicles to discard yard debris at


this site. Let me mention that my cousins, the “hawks”, closely watch this area. If a contractor pulls up in their vehicle or an unfamiliar person tries to use the site in an unauthorized manner, the hawks are ready to pounce and inform those VIOLATORS that this is for residents only. (This is really a nice HHP amenity, isn't it? Sometimes I even drop a few old pieces of my nest in there. I'm certainly a resident, right?)

Please be aware…the farmers' plots are leased. If there appears to be suspicious activity around these plots or a curious person wandering through the area, this activity will be noticed and watched carefully so that nothing is taken or disturbed. The farmers spend a lot of time tending to their crops and plants. If you think a farmer might not miss an onion, zucchini, or some beans, please think again. I must say, many a kind farmer has shared some of his (or her) produce with me as a sign of camaraderie with their fi ne, feathered friends, the herons. All I can say is, your kind gestures are much appreciated. In return, I have often dive-bombed those pesky deer (I know, they’re cute…) who are trying to gain entrance into the Farm to munch on (devastate) the crops. Activity is ongoing from early morning farming, to late afternoon swapping of prized produce for those favorite family recipes. The area buzzes non-stop except for when the “lights are turned off”, ending the farmers’ day.

A fi nal thought: The quickest approach to a lasting curb appeal is a fresh coat of paint on your mailbox and post and a clean driveway. Remember, the POA provides FREE brown paint for your mailbox and post.

As always, I’m your eyes in the sky...so please keep in touch with me for all your concerns.

Page 6 - August 2011 POA Information

Never leave your vehicle unattended with the • keys inside (either in the ignition, under a fl oor mat, in the ashtray, etc.).

Whether you're inside your vehicle or not...• lock the doors! If you're operating the car, this will greatly decrease the likelihood of someone robbing you of the car. Also, it serves as a safety feature should you become involved in a crash (a door is 10 times less likely to pop open in a wreck if it's locked).

Never leave your vehicle unattended while • the engine is running! This includes allowing the car to warm up in your driveway on the Plantation and/or while you run into a place of business, or elsewhere, for "just a minute." "Just a minute" is all the time it takes for someone who is looking for a car to steal to get into yours and drive it away. Many potential car thieves hang around stores knowing they won't have to wait long until someone will "bring them a car" and leave it for a moment, unlocked, with the keys in the ignition.

When away from home (shopping, attending • sports events, concerts, etc.), be aware of your surroundings and, whenever possible, park your vehicle under a streetlight. Any potential thief who is casing parking lots is less likely to steal your car if it's parked in a well-lighted area.

If you practice the aforementioned safety • precautions and still believe that your vehicle is at risk, invest in a device that locks your steering wheel in place (e.g., "The Club") or an auto alarm system. These items may be purchased at most auto parts or discount stores.

South Carolina law requires that all motor vehicle • operators have a valid registration certifi cate in their possession; therefore, most people keep the original registration card somewhere inside their passenger compartment. However, never keep the vehicle title inside the car. The title should always be kept in a safe deposit box or other secure place.

If you have family members or others inside your • house that you don't particularly trust with your car, don't give them access to the keys that you usually use or any extra keys.

Security −Vehicle Theft Prevention Tips

Keep a copy of your registration• (or at least your current license plate number) in your wallet in the event your car is ever stolen. That way, if you immediately report the theft to the Security Department, they may enter your car at once into the nationwide computer system (NCIC). The Security Department cannot enter your car into NCIC without this data and, if the car isn't in NCIC, we can't effectively search for the car.

While it would be preferable if no car thefts ever • occurred on the Plantation, that's impossible. Therefore, do whatever you can to make certain that your car is not stolen. Make it so diffi cult for the thief to be forced to look elsewhere for a victim.

And while you're keeping your car secure…

Never leave your purse or wallet inside the • passenger compartment, especially in plain view. A thief with your ID, checks, and credit cards can cause problems for you that may take years to straighten out, even if he doesn't take your vehicle. If keys to your house and/or job site are taken, the thief then has access to those places. Report any suspicious activity occurring in parking lots, etc., to the Security Department

(681-2459).

If your vehicle is stolen• , report it to the Sheriff’s Department / Security Department at once; this will increase the odds of recovering it.

"Deep into the South, along the snake-rail fences, beside the soft wood roads, in old fi elds where the rusty brook sedge is giving way to the return of forest, the Sassafras carries its splendid banners..."

--Donald Culross Peattie, "A Natural History of Trees of Eastern and Central North America"

In Hilton Head, Northerners nostalgic for autumn colors can indeed rely on the leaves of the Sassafras tree (Sassafras albidum) to provide welcome splashes of yellow and orange against the landscape. But even when green in summer, Sassafras leaves are distinctive, as they come in three different shapes (fun to demonstrate to children, by the way). Some leaves are simply oval; others bear three prominent lobes; still others have a single lobe and look like mittens. All three types occur on the same tree, and all release a spicy fragrance when crushed.

A member of the Laurel Family (Lauraceae), Sassafras is widely distributed throughout the eastern and mid-western United States and provides food and cover for numerous birds and mammals. Deer, rabbits, and bears feed on the leaves, which are also the larval food plant for the Spicebush Swallowtail. Downy Woodpeckers, Northern Mockingbirds, Gray Catbirds, and a host of other songbirds eat the bluish-black fruits, produced in late summer. In the warmer parts of its range, Sassafras trees can attain impressive sizes: the record-holder is a specimen in Kentucky that’s over 100 feet tall, with a trunk measuring 21 feet in circumference.

Once the source of a curative oil, tonic, and tea, Sassafras was avidly sought by some 16th Century American explorers who hoped to make a fortune by exporting large quantities of the root bark for medicinal uses. Sassafras soon lost its popularity in Europe as a cure-all, but many early American colonists, as well as Native Americans, continued to use various parts of the tree to treat arthritis, colds, diarrhea, and other ailments; to add scent to soaps and perfumes; and to concoct a root beer-like drink. The aromatic wood, thought to repel bedbugs, was made into bedsteads.

More recently, the safety of Sassafras root bark in teas or other products has became a cause for concern, as the bark contains safrol, known to cause cancer in laboratory rats. Safrol is also a precursor of the recreational drug MDMA (Ecstacy). The FDA has banned the use of Sassafras root in commercial products unless the safrol has been removed. Sassafras leaves, which don’t contain safrol, are still marketed today in a powdered form called fi lè, used as a fl avoring and thickener in Creole and Cajun cooking.

An interesting video on the natural history of Sassafras, can be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aN9dE3n36t0&feature=related

Out to Lunch Bunch

With summer half over, it’s time to turn our thoughts to cooler days and new activities. August is here, and it’s time to schedule our fall, winter, and spring social activities. A must join is the Out-to-Lunch Bunch! Why? Because it’s the greatest group of women you will ever meet! This is a terrifi c way to meet new friends! The luncheons are intimate and give everyone a chance to talk, one on one.

November, we will start with Daniels located on North Forest Beach Drive, known for its Eastern, Mediterranean, and Caribbean inspirations. We’re going to skip December, and go right to January, where we will enjoy The Wreck’s beautiful vista and great food at South Forest Beach.

In February, we will be going off Island to Bluffton’s great restaurant, Truffl es. Since 1983, Truffl es has been preparing everything on its menu using the freshest and fi nest ingredients.

With March, comes the beautiful fl owers and shrubs of the Island, and that’s what we’ll be seeing at the Port Royal Plantation Club House. We will be dining on the patio, enjoying the sunshine, fl owering bushes, and the beautifully manicured lawns.

For April, we’ve planned a High Tea at the Cottage in Bluffton. So dust off your hat, dig out your mother's white gloves, because we will be eating some of the cutest sandwiches and great desserts!

To sign up, contact Mary Ruberti at [email protected] or Bonnie Sudduth at 384-5231. You must be a HHPWC member and dues are $5.

Fishing ClubThere will be no meeting of the Fishing Club in August. Our next meeting will take place on September 28 at 6:00 PM.

The hot weather, combined with low water levels in the lagoons, has made fi shing less successful than we are used to. The fi sh have gone to fi nd deeper water where it’s a bit

cooler. This water is usually found in the middle of the lagoons and is diffi cult or impossible to reach with your cast. Use the heaviest lure you can fi nd and let it rip. The low water also allows more sunlight to reach the bottom of a lagoon and leads to more weed growth. That makes fi shing with a lure on the bottom very diffi cult, as each retrieve brings with it a stringy mess that no largemouth is going to eat.

Fishing has also been disappointing in Spring Lake. Last year’s bumper crop of juvenile redfi sh seems to have disappeared. Even at the best of tidal infl ow over the weir, the fi sh aren’t there.

What is there, however, is a large number of blue crabs and they are hungry. My recently-visiting grandchildren had a ball. They started out fi shing but found that the crabs loved their frozen shrimp redfi sh bait. Their fi rst excursion brought home a dozen, while their second attempt landed 23 keeping-sized crabs. Crabbing from shore at the gently sloping bank with the standard drop-line doesn’t work too well, but use of a fi shing rod allows the bait to be put a few feet offshore. You will need a net, although some of the crabs refuse to let go of their meal and can be dropped into a bucket. Try it.

You will be happy to know that, as a citizen residing in South Carolina, you have the constitutional right to fi sh and hunt. In 2010, the state joined twelve others by passing measures affi rming these rights in their constitutions.

Remember that the Club has changed its fi scal year to run from September to September to coincide with our meeting schedule. Therefore, last year’s dues will run out at the end of August. You can pay for next year at the September meeting.

Fishing tip: If you are using a topwater lure and it leaves a trail of bubbles when you retrieve it, that’s good. When bubbles stay intact, it’s because of falling barometric pressure or a steady but low pressure. Fish will follow the bubbles to the lure. High barometric pressure, especially in shallow water, has a negative effect on fi shing.

If you aren’t a member of the Fishing Club, think about joining. We now have over 140 members. We must be doing something right. Call Dave Morse (682-2356) for information, and Gary Turner with your fi shing questions (342-3254).

Anyone care to fl y? Fly remote control craft that is….

Are you a modeler who once used gas (nitro) for fl ying? Are you new to the fi eld of remote control

(R/C) craft? Have you always thought, "I would love to fl y!" Modern technology has provided a new release for your

creative energy — electric fl ight. R/C fl ying has evolved to a clean, eco-friendly, and exhilarating sport. Gone are the days of needing gas to produce the power you needed to provide the most exhilarating fl ight imaginable.

Does all of this pique your interest in returning to, or learning to, fl y remote control craft? I would like to start a Club of like-minded people who are interested in fl ying. I currently fl y at the ball fi eld near the POA. The fi eld is a good central location for most of Hilton Head Plantation residents and provides plenty of parking for all.

If this sounds like something you, your children, or grandchildren would be interested in, call or email me so that I can gauge the interest level of the Plantation members. I can be reached at: 843-277-1465 by phone or [email protected] via email.

Yacht ClubClear skies and warm water have the Yacht Club members on the water and enjoying summer. There had been a number of boating events earlier in the summer, and boaters marked the end of July with an all-day sail in Port Royal Sound on July 30.

Just a week later, and following a long tradition, Yacht Club members sailed up the Beaufort River and Battery Creek to the Dockside Restaurant in Port Royal. Others chose to drive there. However they arrived, this large group came to enjoy a wonderful roast beef and seafood buffet with all the trimmings and choice of desserts. Shrimp boats docked nearby reminded us that Port Royal still is a working port and the source of much of our seafood.

Individual members continue to ply our local waters for summer recreation and enjoyment of the many wonders that our local waterways provide.

Looking ahead, plans have been announced for four events in September. A two-day sail is set for September 8-9. There will be a general meeting of the members at the Plantation House on the 15th. An Invitation to Sail has been declared for our fi rst fall event on September 24. And then we have the Annual Beaufort Shrimp Festival; plans for the Yacht Club’s participation in this local festival will be announced shortly.

The Yacht Club invites boaters living in Hilton Head Plantation to inquire about the advantages of membership in the Club. Visit our Website at www.hhpyc.org for more information, or contact our Membership Offi cer Steve Schlader at 689-9937.

HHP Pickleball Club

The warm (hot) weather has not diminished pickleball play at all; in fact, we have seen an increase in the number of players showing up. With the warmer weather, we have been playing just on Mondays and Fridays at 9:00-10:30 AM. We use courts located on Adrianna Lane (a left turn off Squire Pope onto 278 and a right just before Fairfi eld Square). If you’d like to get on our pickleball roster, please contact Don Wheeler at [email protected] or Eileen DeLany (843-341-2298) or Chris Cherrington (570-772-5697).

More information can be found on pickleball by viewing the USA Pickleball Association Website at www.usapa.com. There are pickleball courts and venues all over the USA and Canada. In our part of the country, Sun City, Bluffton has 800 members in their pickleball club; and there are pickleball courts on Belfair, Shipyard, and Port Royal Plantations. Further south, there are 112 dedicated pickleball courts in The Villages. On the sidebar of the aforementioned Website, fi nd “Places to Play” and see if your former hometown has a place to play. Come on out and we’ll teach you how to play...FREE! We have paddles and balls that you can use...FREE! After you play for a few weeks, you will want to teach the game...FREE! Then when you go back for a visit, you can play with your friends and family.

Bocce Club

Hope everyone is enjoying their summer. Some of us have been practicing over the summer, so expect some challenges this coming season. The heat may have kept most of you away from the courts, but the league offi cers have been busy getting ready for the fall season. We are looking forward to seeing all our former members and a few new folks at our Organization Meeting to be held at the Plantation House, 10:00 AM, on Saturday, August 20. The agenda will include an introduction of new offi cers, an introduction to POA staff, a review of our newly approved rules and guidelines, a summary of the June survey, and a chance to ask questions. If you are considering becoming a bocce league member, this may be your opportunity to learn about the game and perhaps decide to join a team. Coffee, juice, and donuts will be served. Members will be able to register their team and provide us with the day of the week they prefer to play. Dues are $5.00 per person (cash only.)

Mark your calendars for offi cial game play which will begin on September 12-13 (Mon.-Tues.) with playoff games beginning November 14-15 (Mon.-Tues.). The fall awards dinner is planned for Saturday, November 19 at the Plantation House from 6:00-8:00 PM.

If you'd like to join, call League President, Ivan Bennett at 681-3144 and sign up for the fall season.

--Sandy Stern

Farmers Club

Guess what? It’s almost time to plant your fall crops. According to the planting chart on our Website (www.hhpfarmers.com), you can begin putting in seeds of squash, beets, cabbage, and pieces of seed potatoes. Later in the month do beans, carrots, and turnips. They say you can grow tomatoes in

the fall, but I have never had any luck with them here. The same goes for peas — every year I watch them fl ourish with blossoms coming just as the fi rst frost demolishes them. If anyone has been successful with either of these, please let me know how you did it.

Insects are particularly damaging in the fall, so be prepared to spray or hand pick (especially) grasshoppers as needed. Keeping the grass and weeds cut helps also. Some of the plots are extremely overgrown and need to be cut back ASAP. If you need help clearing your plot, please call Bob Rombauer at 342-7235. We usually have a dumpster delivered in September for any debris that may have accumulated, but don’t use it for plants!

Now is the time to fertilize your roses and put down some fresh mulch to keep their roots cool. There is still time to plant zinnias and perennials, but wait until next month to divide daylilies and black-eyed Susans. Be sure to keep everything watered and weeded as needed. If nut grass has been a problem, it is more likely to be killed by herbicides in the fall when it has stored nutrients in its roots. It will probably take two or three times to completely eradicate this bad actor.

Thursday night dinners will resume the fi rst week in September. Please let me know if someone doesn’t contact you as they are too delicious to miss.

Interested in joining us? A 25 x 25 foot plot costs $30 per year including water. You can raise a lot of vegetables for that. The membership fee is still only $20. Call Bob Rombauer to check the availability at 342-7235.

Hello everyone! Well the “dog days” of summer are upon us and hopefully, everyone has been enjoying all the wonderful amenities our beautiful Island and our wonderful Hilton Head Plantation have to offer.

HHP Jazz Ensemble

While the Hilton Head Jazz Ensemble is on summer hiatus, we would like to continue introducing you to some of our musicians who are your Plantation neighbors. Welcome to our “Meet the Musician of the Month” article featuring Marianne Currie.

(at right: Marianne was at the keyboard when the HHP Jazz Ensemble performed for a HHP Newcomers Club event held at the Plantation House.)

Marianne originally hails from Michigan, has been coming to the Island since the late 80s, and offi cially became a Hilton Head Plantation resident in 2003. She is retired from a rewarding career in education where she taught K-8 vocal music, 8th grade English, and high school English and French. She also taught piano, voice, and English as a Second Language (ESL).

Marianne remembers playing the piano about as soon as she could reach the keys and the pedals. Before joining the Jazz Ensemble, she enjoyed accompanying her daughter, a talented fl utist, in public performances. When our Ensemble fi rst started, Marianne tagged along with her husband, Jim, even though her training was strictly classical. When the person who was supposed to play keyboard didn’t show up, Marianne told the director she would try to fi ll in for just that one night. And the rest, as they say, is history.

We appreciate Marianne for the countless hours she’s given to the success of our organization not only musically, but also serving as our publicity person. When not practicing piano or exercising her beautiful voice, you’ll fi nd her and Jim sailing with the Hilton Head Plantation Yacht Club or enjoying their family – daughter Colleen, a magistrate in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and son David, a project manager for a custom residential construction fi rm in NY. Marianne also is a member of the Green Thumbers Club, is active with the HHI Audubon Society, and volunteers at Honey Horn. We are honored to have Marianne as part of our musical family.

If you are interested in joining us as a performer or having us play at your event next season, please contact our Business Manager, Joe Adams at 843-247-6101.

HHP Engineers Model Railroad Club

The Club is taking a summer break and the next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, September 7, 7:00 PM, at Dolphin Head Recreation Center. However, there are some important activities to report.

The Train Club was pleased to participate in Kids Kamp on July 29 at the Plantation House. We set up several running layouts for the kids and were amply staffed to show the kids how everything works, let them do some “hands on work”, and to answer any and all questions. This was a way to do something for our Plantation kids and to sow the seeds for future recruits to the hobby.

Looking a little further ahead, the Club will have several tables at the next Trash and Treasure Sale on October 2. We probably will have Lionel O & O27 gauge, HO gauge, G gauge, and S gauge items. Plus, there might be some wonderful boxes of "junk" to hunt through and fi nd that missing piece you have been looking for forever.

Any questions, please contact me at 314-409-4304 or email: [email protected]. --David Argent



Craft Workshop

Please note the new location for our Annual Show and Sale this year, and, please mark your calendars now to come and help us make this the biggest and best Sale ever. Our profi ts are donated to Hospice Care of the Lowcountry. I realize that many of you wonder why I reiterate that fact as well as some others. It is because we have new people moving into our community constantly and it is important that they understand what motivates us.

We are making amazing progress in creating new items for our Annual Sale. There will be a whole new array of Christmas tree ornaments, other seasonal decorations, quilts, velvet and ultrasuede eyeglass cases, aprons made from dish towels, a quilted wall hanging of the St. Francis prayer, botanical (dried fl ower) necklaces, and potato bags — to mention just a few — as well as jewelry, sweaters, Jane Alvarez’s necklaces (some in new colors), potato bags, and, of course, pillows. There will be many other items to tell you about in the next column.

AND, thanks to Bob Mackenzie there will be lots and lots of dolphins and squirrels to help retrieve items from your oven. Bob generously has made 35 of these wonderful items and they will go quickly. I have one that my father-in-law made for me some 30 years ago and it has been in constant use to push racks into or pull out of the oven. It is one of the handiest items we have in our kitchen.

Looking for something different for Christmas? Walter Gilbert, retired architect and excellent artist, will have samples of his beautiful paintings of some of the homes he has done and will be available to answer any questions regarding a painting of your home, or... At the Spring Sale, a gentleman gave Walter a picture of his son’s home and asked if he could do a painting from the picture. Walter did and the man was extremely well pleased because he was giving it to his son as a Christmas present.

Last year Ken Anderson supported us by making wooden deer head mailbox ornaments for which we were very appreciative. Tom Kuczkowski has made several of the “pine cone picker-uppers”. And, so our “extended family” now includes men and we invite all of you men out there who have hobbies that might yield appropriate items for our Sale to consider making at least a few for us to help expand the number and selection of items we will have for sale. You don’t have to come to our meetings (altho’ you are welcome).

We will be looking forward to seeing you at our Sale on October 15.

Caregivers Support Group

Attention all family caregivers and those caring for a loved one! This monthly support group meets the third Friday of the month from 2:00-3:30 PM. This is a free of charge support group for anyone responsible for the ongoing personal care and medical care of a loved one. Come to the group to address your caregiver challenges, learn from each other, prevent caregiver burnout, manage your personal stressors, and connect with others for

mutual help and support. This group is focused on your wellness and is facilitated by a professional clinician and Hilton Head Plantation resident: Ann Martel, LISW-CP.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact Ann Martel at (843) 785-5995 or by email: [email protected]. We hope you will attend this helpful group.

Dance Club

Dance Club will not hold any classes or meetings until September. Members have an opportunity to attend some functions at the Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Bluffton. Several of our Club members have attended the last Friday of the month dance at the studio and found it to be a good way to practice the dances that we learned in our classes at the Plantation House. If you would like further information, please call Joan/Charlie Forton at 681-4761 or Marion/Dick Gosson at 343-7482. --Joan Forton



Palmetto Rowing ClubRowing is a perfect conditioner, using all muscle groups with almost no shock to the joints. However, many of our members consider that the mental and spiritual benefi ts are an equal or greater reason to row.

Our boathouse is located beneath the Old Oyster Factory restaurant on beautiful Broad Creek. The Club owns a fl eet of sculls, from trainers to race-quality boats, which members may use at no extra charge and at their convenience. HHP residents, call Lu Strayer, 689-5814 or 816-0008 (cell), for more information or check out the Website: www.palmettorowingclub.com.

Knit Wits - New group

ALERT! Chicks with sticks have invaded the Plantation! Not to worry...because of the interest in knitting and crocheting, the Women’s Club has welcomed a new club this year.

If your life has you all tied up in knots, join us for a chance to unwind. Come chat, knit, purl, and laugh with those who understand the desire to take a long piece of fi ber and create a “beloved (or not) work of art.” This friendly group of women welcomes all skill levels. The group meets the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of the month, 1:30 PM, in the upper level of the Plantation House. No fee is required, although you must be a current member of the HHP Women‘s Club.

For more information: --Linda Piekut 342-8843 --Colleen Wainwright 342-7902

Big Wheels ClubThe Big Wheels Bicycle Club is a wonderful way to get out in the fresh air, get some exercise, and socialize with friends. We meet on the 1st and 3rd Thursday of every month. The 1st Thursday we bike to Dolphin Head, bring a brown bag lunch, and meet at 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM. At that time, we decide what restaurant we will meet at for the 3rd Thursday. After lunch, we have a planned bike ride for those who want to ride.

Dog Club

The Dog Club was a very visible presence at the July 4th festivities, with a tented table, club members, and canines. We had a large display of pet photos taken by the professional photographer who will donate his services next May 5-6. The Dog Club will offer HHP residents the opportunity to have several photos taken of their dogs. The best photo of each dog will be made into a frameable print for a nominal fee of $20. Watch this space for details as we fi rm up our plans.

We had an “oops” moment in our household a couple of weeks ago. We inadvertently left our Standard Poodle outside on the screened-in porch and went to bed. A terrible thunderstorm ensued. Natasha silently waited to be rescued, which we did upon discovering she was not in her bed. Unfortunately, many dog owners would not have had such a calm ending to this event because of their dog's response to thunderstorms.

If your dog becomes a nervous wreck during storms, you may be interested in the Thunder Shirt for dogs. It is a close-fi tting vest that seems to calm dogs during times of high stress, much as swaddling does for an infant — it's sort of a non-stop hug. I did a bit of research and found that the consumer response has been nearly 100% positive. Owners report that it calms their furry companions almost immediately. It is available online for less than $40, so it’s probably worth a try.

I hope you are able to stay dry (and keep Rover inside) during the storms of the season.

Happy Dog Walking. --Helen Collins tel. 689-9303email: [email protected]

The Avid Gardeners

The common question these days is: "Where did the summer go?" By calendar dates, we are near its end. Weather-wise, it could be another story. Summer arrived early. Only time will tell if it ends on time or continues into the fall. For a gardener, nature always has a surprise in store for us.

Preparations for our Flower Show to be held in March are continuing. "The Mystical Garden" is the title and theme. The displays will be staged in a variety of categories, and crafters are busy making items for the boutique.

Margie Fox of The Garden Gate in Bluffton (formerly in Beaufort) will be the guest speaker at our opening meeting in September. She will have some novel decorating ideas for the fall using fl owers and plants as well as advice and suggestions for our gardens' next phase.

TAG members and volunteers continue to water the azaleas along Whooping Crane Way in an effort to support their growth. New helpers are always welcome, even on a part-time basis. Contact Sharon Jaunsem at 682-2262. Five gallon jugs for fi ve plants. Not a diffi cult project.

Mark your calendar to join us September 16, 9:30 AM, for a social followed by a short business meeting and guest speaker. Because of the Spring Lake Pavilion renovation, our meetings will be held at the Dolphin Head Golf Club, 56 High Bluff Road. Contact Suzy Baldwin at 681-5346 for further information.

Memorial & Honorarium ProgramFor residents who wish to support the Spring Lake Pavilion project in a more meaningful way, the Recreation Committee would like to provide the opportunity to make personal contributions towards this project through our Memorial & Honorarium Program. Gifts of any amount are welcome and can be targeted in many ways according to your desire. Residents may choose to purchase certain items that will enhance the outdoor spaces such as the brick fi re pit with stone hearth, one of the swing trellises, an oyster table, or even a rocking chair. If you are interested in making a larger donation, you may want to consider giving funds to help offset the cost of the gazebo which will stand at the end of the pier, the pier itself, or even some of the landscaping elements on the grounds of your new clubhouse. For donations made towards specifi c outdoor elements, a plaque will be placed on or near the item listing the name of the donor(s) and/or recognizing the individual or family of a memorial/honorarium donation.

For those who prefer to support an indoor element, the following are among the opportunities available: the gas cooktop, the convection oven, the warming drawer, or even the dishwasher. For all donations made towards specifi c indoor elements, a single plaque will be hung inside the NEW Spring Lake Pavilion listing all of the names of the donor(s) and/or recognizing the individual or family of a memorial/honorarium donation.

For residents wishing to make a general contribution towards the project, the Recreation Committee has developed fi ve levels of giving which are:

Magnolia Level $5,000 or moreLive Oak Level $1,000 - $4,999Red Maple Level $500 - $999Southern Pine Level $100 - $499Sycamore Level $99 or less

Any resident who chooses to make a general contribution donation will be listed on a plaque which will hang inside the NEW Spring Lake Pavilion. Each resident or family will be listed according to the appropriate donor level. The name of the person honored or memorialized will also be listed.

If you have any questions or would like additional information regarding specifi c indoor/outdoor elements and the cost associated with each, please contact Chrissy Fly, Director of Activities, at (843) 681-8800, ext. 226.

“Tips for Protecting Your Windows and Doors from Hurricanes, Violent Weather, and Break-Ins” – FREE SeminarWindows and doors are the most vulnerable points of your home. High winds from storms can send fl ying wreckage at your home – breaking windows and potentially injuring family members, damaging furniture, paintings, walls, increasing the likelihood of your roof blowing off, and resulting in water damage. Windows and doors are also the most common entry points for burglars and unwanted intruders.

Please join the Activities Department and Pat Zombas from 3M on Wednesday, September 21, 11:00 AM, at the Plantation House to learn more ways of enhancing the safety and security of your windows and doors, which is the most prudent form of home protection. Pat Zombas will be discussing the "Top 5 Tips on Storm Protection" including the importance of plywood and storm shutters as well as the "Top 5 Tips on Burglary Safety."

Date: Wednesday, September 21 Cost: FREE Time: 11:00 AM RSVP: Keriann at 681-8090 Place: Plantation House

We hope you will join us for this free seminar! Please call Keriann at 681-8090 to reserve your spot today. Space is limited! Light refreshments will also be served.
