Large-Scale Managers Visit HHPIn the world of community associations, there are all shapes and sizes; however, one category stands out from the crowd as unique. That category is the community association that has three or more of these characteristics: 1,000 homes or more, a budget in excess of $1,000,000, situated on 1,000 or more acres, and provides recreational and municipal type services to its residents. The number of these types of master planned large-scale communities has grown exponentially in the past 20 years both nationally and internationally. Back in the late 1980’s, when there were just a few of these types of associations in the U.S., the general managers of these unique properties banded together to start a workshop to share best practices. That group, which started out in a single van of 20, has grown to limited seating of 125 managers from countries as far away as Dubai.

The national organization of the Community Associations Institute (CAI), which is the umbrella for Community Association Professionals, holds the annual Large-Scale Managers Workshop in various states, recently Washington, Pennsylvania, even Hawaii! This year, 125 community managers will be arriving on Hilton Head Island for their Large-Scale Managers Workshop from September 17-20. Their home base will be the Sonesta Resort in Shipyard Plantation.

The workshop will include touring several unique communities, motivating education sessions,locallyflavoredeventsanddiningexperiences,andofcourse,therewillbe plenty of opportunity to network. This group encompasses an amazing caliber of individuals who want to learn from each other and share what works best in their communities. Many of the ideas and programs – everything from service delivery, recreational programing, customer service, security, maintenance, community relations, to telecommunications – have been vetted and adapted to suit the needs of a community from lessons learned at these workshops.

This year Hilton Head Plantation has the privilege of being the lead host for this elite group of large-scale managers. They will gather to share their best ideas and practices, garner new information at specializededucationalsessions,andexperiencehandsontoursatfivediversecommunities.Thesecommunitieswillshowoff the natural beauty and uniqueness of the area. Along with Hilton Head Plantation, the workshop will be co-hosted by Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort, Shipyard Plantation, Sea Pines, and Sun City Hilton Head.

President’s ReportI know that I can speak for many of the residents of Hilton Head Plantation who recognize the beauty and peacefulness of our daily surroundings. I would like to take this space this month to give you one major reason for that state of affairs. That is simply — Peter Kristian.

Peter was hired by your Board of Directors in February of 2000 and at that time, the Board members asked Peter to get involved with his community in ways that would further the position of Hilton Head Plantation as the best community to live in within the Lowcountry.

Peter took that advice to heart and I would like to list here some of the ways he has followed that advice.

Activities that keep our interests visible within the Town of Hilton Head Island:• Ten years as a member of the Town’s Board of Zoning Appeals, six as

Vice Chair, and one as Chairman• Recently appointed by the Town Council to the Planning Commission• Appointed by then Mayor Tom Peeples to serve on the Mayor’s Task

Force for the Future• Greater Island Committee – Member of the Steering Committee that

continues to monitor the recommendations from the Mayor’s Task Force and is a member of the Sustainability Advisory Committee

This involvement puts Peter in front of every major issue that could affect us here within the gates of HHP.

ActivitiesthatbenefitHHPresidentsinthelocalandnationalarenas:• Chairs the Lowcountry Managers Committee which is composed of all

of the large, gated communities in Beaufort, Jasper, and Charleston counties. Here he learns of best practices and shares ideas that improve our own organization.

• The Community Associations Institute (CAI) is a national organization that addresses the unique needs of large-scale communities. Peter is a member and chairs the Audit Committee, and co-chairs their Ethics Committee which reviews ethics complaints from across the country as they pertain to the CAI designations. Peter also belongs to other committees in this organization.

• Peter serves as secretary of the South Carolina Legislative Action Committee, which monitors the interests of community associations across the state.

Peter’s résumé includes much more than I have space for here, but you can be assured that we have a General Manager who spends every day with our best interests in view at all times. Next time you see him, tell him, "Thank You!"

--Terry Conway

Cypress Gate will Remain OpenIn the event of an evacuation called by the Governor, the Cypress Gate will remain open. This is a change from a long-standing Beaufort County Emergency Management policy to close the Cypress Gate when an evacuation is issued by the Governor. The reason for the change is that route 278 is now three lanes all the way to route 170. Our Hurricane Guide has been updatedtoreflectthischange.

General Manager’s ReportCoffee with PeterOur next Coffee is scheduled for Thursday, September 25, 10:00 AM, at the Plantation House. Our special guests will be our School Board Representative Mary Cordray and Beaufort County School Superintendent Doctor Jeffrey Moss.

Back to SchoolYoungsters throughout the community are back at school. Please be alert to our young scholars waiting for buses and riding their bikes to school. Every year we have a new crop of little ones who are not yet savvy to the ways of motor vehicles and buses. Give yourself a little extra time because stopping school buses will slow youdownandremember,bothsidesoftrafficmuststopfor the 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 gaveusanexceptionalday.Asuperfluityofeventsandgames were new this year including the Mickey Mouse Fun Park, the Claw-box, and the Slap-a-Light. All of these and other new items were very well-received. The only glitch was a water line that was fractured during the installation of the High Striker on the Midway. The pipe was quickly repaired by staff and did not delay our12:30PMopening.Onceagain,Iwasthefirstto be perched atop the Dunk Tank. This year many more “adults” took great pride in trying to get me wet with many succeeding. Our kitchen crew, comprised of Betsy Weppner, Nancy and Bill Dix, Bob Huisman, Todd Lindstrom, and Wo and Lai Look reported that we were down from 2013 for hot dog and pizza sales. We speculate that due to the Fourth falling on a Friday, many of you took advantage of the three-day weekend and headed out of town. Unfortunately, you missed a really great event!

Congratulations to all!

Monopine ProjectCrown Castle International, the contractor selected to build the new monopine between Whitetail Deer Lane and Dolphin Head Drive, is busy working with the Town of Hilton Head Island on the necessary permits for the project. The proposal must go through the Town’s Design Review Board for a third time due to some previous legal wrangling. We anticipate the project breaking ground in the fall. We are hopeful that the monopine will be operating and providing much needed wireless coverage by year’s end. Verizon will be the lead tenant on the monopine with AT&T committing to the second of four slots.

Upgrade to DASAs you may be aware, Crown Castle International, the same company that is installing the monopine, built a Distributed Antenna System (DAS) on HHP back in 2004. The DAS consists of seven (7) wooden utility poles with a single whip antenna mounted on top. In total, it tops out at approximately 78 feet, which allows the antenna to poke just above the tree canopy. This system is still needed to provide augmented signal strength to areas with excessive tree canopy, high demand, and/or distance from the new monopine. Two additional DAS siteshavebeenidentified–oneattheDolphinHeadRecreation Area and one on the Sound side of High Bluff Road between Jingle Shell and Oyster Shell Lanes. Two changes will be made to the existing wooden pole installations. Due to the nature of the wooden poles,

they will be replaced with dyed concrete poles. The poles will be dyed to match the tree trunks in the surrounding wooded areas. Secondly, instead of a whip antenna, a segmented antenna array will be installed at the top of the pole to enable better signal penetration and to facilitate the transmission of the latest data and wireless telephonic services. The Board is considering this proposal and working on the details of this upgrade with Crown Castle International. Spring Lake Pool ProjectWood+Partners, the land planners commissioned by the Board of Directors to design and permit the renovations to the Spring Lake Pool, made a presentation to the Recreation Committee and the Board of Directors in July. This presentation included all of the suggestions provided by residents, members of the Recreation Committee, and the Board as a result of vetting this project for the past nine months. We will have an update on this project at the September Coffee with Peter.

Hurricane GuidesPlease review the POA’s Hurricane Preparedness Guide, which can be found on the POA’s Website: www.hiltonheadplantation.com under the Security tab 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 you 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.

Security − Protecting Yourself from Crime* *or everything you wanted to know about crime prevention but were afraid to ask

locks they come equipped with can usually be quickly pried open. The doors can also be easily removed from their tracks unless they are properly secured.

• To prevent removal of doors, install 1¼ inch pan head (large head) sheet metal screws in the upper track at both ends and in the middle so the door just clears the head of the screws. To secure a door in position, you can also drill a hole at a

downward angle in the overlapping frames of the door at the top center. Then insert an aluminum pin with a clasp which secures the pin in the door.

• There are different types of sliding glass door auxiliary locks that can be used, but key operated locks usually offer the best security, especially those using a deadbolt or pin mechanism.

• Ametalbarthatattachestothesideframeandfitsacross the middle of the sliding glass door, running paralleltothefloor,canbeusedtopreventopeningthe door.

Crime prevention doesn’t come from simply locking your doors at night — it comes from getting involved. Please help us help you.

Art Benoit, Director of Security

Before you can stop crime, you have to be aware of it. That means knowing the who, what, when, where, why, and how of a crime or, simply put, “thinking like a criminal.” To take a bite out of crime, each of us needs to raise our level of awareness to our surroundings and take steps to mitigate someone with criminal intent. By heightening your awareness and teaching you about different crimes, we can help you institute some techniques for crime prevention. Our overall goal is to show you how to combine awareness and technique to create an action program for you and your neighbors. Only alert residents, working hand in hand with the Security Department, can help minimize crime.

Outside Your HomeThe exterior of your home should not offer concealment for a burglar. A house with its doors and windows in full view is a psychological deterrent. This forces an intruder to work in the open where he risks detection. Here are some tips to help you to discourage a burglar:

• Keep shrubs trimmed away from windows and doors so you don't provide a convenient hiding place for a burglar.

• Maintain adequate exterior lighting, especially on vulnerable access points to your home.

• Don't leave ladders around the exterior of your house where they can be used by a burglar to gain entrance.

• Don't leave valuables such as lawn mowers, bicycles, or tools in the yard or in an open or unlocked garage or shed. Your tools could be used to break into your home.

• Keep the garage door closed and locked at all times. Many garage door openers are provided with a locking mechanism. The door leading from the garage to the house is a favorite access point for a burglar. Keep it locked also.

• Display your house number conspicuously and have it well illuminated. This will aid the security, medical,orotheremergencyvehiclesinfindingyour home quickly if summoned. Urge your neighbors to do the same – you may be calling for them or vice versa.

• Never leave notes that can inform a burglar that your house is unoccupied.

Sliding Glass Doors• Sliding glass doors are particularly easy targets for

the burglar and are frequent points of entry. The

Leisure Paths“It’s nice to be important, but it’s more important to be nice.” As Ienjoymyflight…I mean run...along our 10 miles of leisure paths, it's obvious that “birds of a feather (and humans in skin tight walking attire)tendtoflocktogether.”Oftentimes, there are 2-3 smartly attired humans walking side-by-side, taking up the entire width of the leisure path.

Picturethis…aflockofcyclistsridingside-by-sideanda gaggle (I mean group) of humans is coming towards them. The human gaggle (group) will not shrink to makeroomfortheflock…(I mean bike tour group) to pass. At this point, I am no longer “Harry Heron”; I have become “Chicken Little”. If you are headed straight foraflock,gaggle,orgroup,youshouldcalmlytakeasteptotherightandstayinasinglefile.Thissimpletechnique will avoid awkward sidewalk dances. Do not crowd the whole path, just step off to the side of thepathto“singlikeacanary”…I mean talk to your neighbor.

From my view at 200 feet above the Plantation, one of the best pieces of advice I can give to pedestrians and bicyclists is awareness. A lot of runners and walkers on a multi-use path wear headphones. This practice, however popular, renders the user unaware of their surroundings. Human pedestrians, being vigilant and keeping to the right, would be very helpful to a cyclist. Cyclists should be responsible when it comes to their speed; only pass when safe, and slow down.

The Plantation encourages bicyclists to have a bell on their bicycle to warn others of their presence. It also helps to warn others ahead of time to allow someone enough time to react. Most people tend to turn around immediately,andstepintothe"flockofoncomingbirds"…I mean a cyclist's path, when being warned from behind. Bicycles bells are available at the POA Service Center for $5.00.

Vehicles have the right-of-way at a crosswalk. When theintersectionisclearofoncomingtraffic,apedestrianmay proceed safely across. Once you have stepped into the intersection, you have the right-of-way and oncoming vehicles must yield to your safety. When walking your canine friends before sunrise or after sunset, you may want to use some type of lighted device attached to the dog collar or leash. It makes humans and canines more visible to cyclists and other pedestrians, and to my species as well. Otherwise,

Harrymayhavetohelpyoufind“ScoobyDoo”inthe“dawg gone” night. We all know how Scooby loves to talk to his friends, but humans should command Scooby to sit while someone is passing by. Humans will not only see Scooby, but will also know that Scooby is nice, and that is important. A canine that suddenly barks or leaps at a cyclist, jogger, or walker can cause a serious accident. (Those barking canines freak me out!)

GaragesOften, my human friends have a blind eye when it comes to the look and feel of their home. Unfortunately, this makes them complacent and off guard to those who may wish to steal from them or harm them. I, on the other hand, have eagle eyes. A perfect example of this is open garage doors.

Garage doors need to be closed unless a vehicle is exiting or entering. Also check to see if the door needs to be repaired, replaced, or powerwashed.

A garage is a "cosmetic feature" to a part of the home that some humans may not wish to display in an overt manner. Your garage door may conceal lots of “stuff”. Some humans may have stuff that may not be as orderly as they might like, while others have picture perfect, organized garages. With either situation, an open garage door leaves you vulnerable. The untidy part detracts from our beautiful streetscapes, and either scenario allows those with ill intent to case your “stuff.”

Human thieves know right where to look in your garage without tripping when given easy access via an open garage door. You also invite double trouble when the door giving access to the inside of your home from the garage is unsecured (you know, the one humans never lock). Thieves can enter your house while you’re still inside! Please remember, the big garage door and the door between your house and the garage should be kept closed and locked. If you leave either unsecured, you might as well leave your front door open; there is no difference!

Lots of my avian friends and other members of the animal kingdom would welcome the opportunity to build their nests or seek shelter in your wide open garage! You can help beautify the neighborhood, suppress a thief, and keep my animal friends from taking up residence in your garage! I hate it when Security is called to evict some of my good friends, especially Mr. Al Ligator. --Harry Heron

Lowcountry Nature/ Clubs August 2014 - Page 7

Lowcountry Nature: Purslane

Purslane (Portulaca spp.) is a popular garden plant in theSoutheastbecauseofitsbrilliantlycoloredflowersand tolerance of hot, dry conditions. The nursery varieties are close relatives of wild-growing purslanes, such as broadleaf pink purslane (Portulaca amilis), which haspinkflowers,andcommonpurslane(P. oleracea), which has yellow ones. But because these less showy purslanes tend to be invasive in lawns and other suburban habitats, most homeowners regard native purslanes as weeds.

Ecologists, however, use the term “weed” in a different sense — to refer to a diverse assemblage of plants adapted to survival in disturbed or otherwise inhospitable sites where other species can’t grow. Some weedsare“pioneer”plants,thefirsttocolonizebarrenhabitats such as bare rock outcroppings or newly paved sidewalksandparkinglots.Othersarethefirsttoappearinpreviouslyvegetatedareasdevastatedbyfire,floods,landslides,orotherdisturbances.Constructionsites,abandonedfields,roadsides,andvacantlotsmaysupport a great diversity of weeds, including many non-native species found around the globe in similar habitats.

Common purslane, for example, thrives everywhere from rich garden soil to parched, trampled ground and even sidewalk cracks. Highly tolerant of drought, it has a long taproot that probes deep into the ground for water, as well as succulent stems and leaves that store moisture. Bits of broken stem can even develop roots, re-establishing the plant after damage from weeding. The seeds may remain viable for several decades.

Purslane is eaten as a raw or cooked vegetable in Europe, Mexico, Asia, and the Middle East.

Dog Club

Hello, Dog People! In just a couple of weeks, the HHP Dog Club will be hosting a great event to kick off our new club year. On Friday, September 5, at 6:00 PM, please join us for “Cocktails and Dogtails” at the Dolphin Head Facility. Bring your pooch, a plate of appetizers (to share), and your favorite cocktail (NOT to share). The club will provide chips, pretzels, soft drinks, ice, and dog treats. (Rain date TBA.)

We think this human/canine socialization event will provide a great opportunity for you to meet fellow dog lovers and their furry companions. If you don’t belong to the HHP Dog Club, you can easily join that day. The fee is just $20 for a lifetime family membership. Please bring a check made out to HHP Dog Club, and include a note with your name(s), address, email address, phone, and name and breed of dog(s).

As you play with your furry friend this summer, be sure to provide plenty of water and time to rest in the shade. Dogs suffer from heatstroke more readily than humans do, and the problem can quickly develop into an emergency situation, so pay heed to symptoms such as: unusually rapid and loud panting, extreme thirst, weakness or collapse, vomiting, disorientation, increased heart rate, bright red tongue and pale gums, and skin around the muzzle or neck that doesn’t snap back when pinched.

Your immediate response should be to place your canine companion in a cool, shady place, then pour cool – not cold – water over the head and body.

Liftthefurupwithyourfingerssoaircancirculatethroughthecoat; if a fan is available, use it to help lift the fur. Take the dog’s temperature rectally. (For instructions, consult your vet or go online.) A reading of 103 degrees or above may indicate heatstroke. Give your dog small amounts of water or Pedialyte to drink if he/she is fully conscious. Call your vet for further guidance. Even if your pooch appears to have recovered, a visit to the vet will ensure that no permanent damage has resulted from the excessive heat.

Hope to see you on September 5th at 6:00 PM!

HHP Model Train Club

The club does not meet in July and August. However, other activities continue, even during our summer recess. The big event for the club was participation in Kids Kamp on July 18 (photo below) where the club members brought their train layouts to the Plantation House for a morning of fun. The kids got to operate the trains, blow the whistles and horns, and operate some of the accessories. The club members had the opportunity to share their hobby with a future generation of "train guys" (and girls!).

Here is what the retailer Sears has to say about kids and trains: "Toy trains help stretch the imagination

and hone hand-eye coordination. Kids understand the romance of the rails and some of us grownups never quite leave our toy trains behind.

"Contemporary trains run on diesel or electric power, but the image of a huge, powerful steam locomotive pumping out smoke still captivates our imagination. Whether you’re imagining you're riding your train into the Wild West or imagining a modern diesel machine, trains are captivating and engaging to people of all ages. We never forget the childhood train sets our parents probably purchased. Many of us develop a lifelong love for trains and make a hobby of modeling scale railroads.

"Toy trains are excellent developmental toys. Assembling tracks improves hand-eye coordinationandfiguringoutwheretoplacecurves and switches develops critical thinking skills. Kids love to make train layouts as realistic as possible by adding in railroad crossing signs and other accessories." Well said, Sears!

The club meets monthly from September to June, 7:00 PM, the second Wednesday of the month, normally at the Plantation House, but wedohaveoccasionalfieldtrips.Formoreinformation contact David Argent at 314-409-4304, Don Fellner at 843-290-5353, or email us at: [email protected].

Fishing Club

Our next meeting will be held on September 24. Dues for the coming season are payable on September 1. Please send your payment ($15 per person) to Club Treasurer Margot Gilbert or bring a check or cash to the September meeting.

Recent encounters regarding rules and regulations covering fishinginthePlantationhaveshownthatnoteveryoneis aware of what can and cannot be done. So, here we go again: Spring Lake, Bear Lake, Wild Turkey Run, and Pine Island are salt or brackish water, subject to State regulations with respect to size and catch limits. The only Plantation regulation covering these waters is at Wild Turkey Run where POA permission is required to enter and fish.Asaltwaterfishinglicenseisrequiredtofishinthesewaters.ThesignpostedatSpringLake,showingthefishwhich might be present and which may be kept if caught, appliesonlytothesesaltwatersystems.Thefactthatfishcaught in these waters may be kept does not apply to any freshwater lagoon in the Plantation. The size and catch limits on this sign are subject to change by the SCDNR. It is the angler’s responsibility to be familiar with current regulations.

Every other lagoon in the Plantation contains freshwater. The POA's Rules and Regulations encourage residents to practice catch and release in all freshwater lagoons regardless of whether or not there is a sign posted to that effect. A few lagoons, where there has been gross violation of the catch and release policy, have been posted.Notallofthefreshwaterlagoonsmaybefishedby Plantation residents.

Farmers Club

August is a tough month for many reasons. Weather, weeds, and voracious insects are all big problems. No sprays will kill the huge grasshoppers (except possibly WD 40), so you must grab them with a gloved hand and twist them in two.

Another problem is the eggplant that you're tired of – it won’t stop bearing, and your friends and neighbors have told you they don’t like it. Well, here’s a solution. Cut a medium eggplant into about six slices, peeledfirst.Dipeachsliceintoflourwithalittlesaltand

pepper, then dip into two beaten eggs to which you've added a little water, and lastly dip into panko or bread crumbs pressing lightly so they adhere. Bake on a lightly oiled baking sheet at 375 for about 20 minutes; flipthemoverandbakeforanother15minutes.Theycan be used in a dish or frozen until you aren’t tired of them anymore (about four months in an airtight freezer bag).

Late August is time to plant your fall garden. Check out our Website: www.hhpfarmers.com for a planting chart. If it's still very hot, you may want to waituntilthefirstofSeptember. Broccoli and all of the brassica family do well in the fall. Tomatoes are iffy, and peas usually get caught by a freeze in December; so if you want peas, try growing a shorter variety that matures more quickly. Do buy your sugar snap pea seeds in the fall before they stop selling them for the winter because you will want to start yours in January.

Our great dinners will start again the first Thursday in September. If you are not sent an RSVP or called, please let me know. We are looking for two dinner chairpersons to learn soon and take over the duties next winter. It’s a really fun and gratifying position for anyone who likes to plan and supervise themed parties. Please email Tim Florea at: [email protected] for more information. Interested in renting a plot? They only cost $30 for a 25 by 25 plus a $20 membership fee. Call Chuck Mainenti at 682-3475 for a tour.

Dance Club

The Hilton Head Plantation Dance Club will meet on Wednesday, September 17, 6:15 PM, at the Plantation House. There were no meetings during the summer months.

New members can join at any time during the year. However, this is a good time to become a member as it is an opportunity to learn several dances. It doesn't matter if you don't know how to dance or if you have some dancing skills and just wish to improve on what you already know. All levels of dancing are taught.

The purpose of the Dance Club is to learn to dance socially, not to attempt to perform like "Dancing with the Stars". It's always good to have some basic dance skills for those special occasions that include dancing.

There is a nominal fee of $6.00 per person per class to cover expenses. The classes are taught by a professional instructor from the Fred Astaire Studio. You pay only for those classes you attend. There are no other dues.

If you are interested in joining the Dance Club and would like more information, please call Charlie/Joan Forton at 681-4761 or Dick/Marion Gosson at 342-7482.

Caregivers Support Group

Our support group for caregivers in Hilton Head Plantation is growing! What a wonderful group of people who care about helping others. That’s what a mutual self-help group is

all about. You get some time out from your caregiving (respite) to touch base with others, have a laugh, a cry, attend to your needs (feelings, spirit, thoughts, and fears), and you reach out and help another with your experiences. It's always a value to your personal health and wellness, as well as your loved one’s care.

You will learn from a professional facilitator and counselor, Ann Martel, M.S.W., LISW (HHP resident). Ann has over 30 years’ experience in Healthcare, Mental Health Care, Senior/Hospice Care, and private counseling for adjustments related to illness, major transitions in life, stress, grief, and caregiving.

THIS GROUP IS FOR YOU – THE CAREGIVER. The group meets the 3rd Friday of the month, 11:00 AM, at The Cypress Clubhouse - TV Room, just past the concierge. There is no charge for the group.

Contact Ann Martel to get on her email list: [email protected] or give her a call at 785-5995. See Ann’s blog at: www.annscaregivertips.blogspot.com.

HHP Big Band

The HHP Big Band made two Gift of Music presentations on July 1. We wanted to do something for the Plantation’s KidsKampprogramandfortheHHIBoysandGirlsClub,soBillRoysewasaskedtofindoutwhatthetwogroupsneeded.

The Kids Kamp counselors were very interested in having a guitar, especially for rainy day activities when the kids have to be inside. Mike Nicastre, our rhythm guitarist, researched the options and chose the Keith Urban package which was presented to POA Director of Activities Chrissy Kristian and Kids Kamp Counselor Michelle Borkey. It’s very comprehensive – acoustic electric guitar and amp, case, extra strings, picks, strap, built in tuner, a chord chart, and a DVD with beginning lessons! Wow! Great choice, Mike.

Although we wanted to give the local Boys and Girls Club something more musical, Billfoundthatamicrophonewouldreallyfittheirneeds.Severalofthechildrenwhoattend the program are interested in activities which use a microphone, and they

were thrilled to have a pair of microphone packages donated. Our sound man, Bob Sandin, was responsible for choosing the package which was presented to Bernard Burton, Teen Director at the Club. Bob was also responsible for purchasing both gifts. Many thanks to you all.

The band is delighted to be able to use the income from our gigs to give back to our community in this way. We have a number of other gifts in mind, and hope to be able to make them soon.

If you play an instrument, especially a saxaphone, we’d love to have you come over to the Plantation House on Monday evenings between 7:00-9:00 PM and sitinwithus.Whoknows,youmightfindyou’rereadytojoinup!OurnewBooking Agent is George Smedley.

The Avid Gardeners (TAG)

“The seed that falls on good ground will yield a fruitful harvest” Responsorial Psalm (ref. Luke 8:8)

Soil makes the difference in gardening. Our lives are also the result of a “seed” we planted years ago. The “plant” has

matured and its fruit ripened. In the 2010-2020 decade, many in TAG will celebrate a 50-year wedding anniversary. Their “plants”haveflourished. Best wishes to all celebrants for a happy, healthy future. For thosewhoseflowersorfruitwitheredordied,somereseeded;and, for others the results are in their seed. To all, enjoy this special cycle in your lives. In early summer, as gardens developed, Mother Nature saved us time and water with intermittent rainfalls. The results might also have brought about another problem – insects and fungi. Gardening, a never ending source of care; always with the expectation that our diligence with be rewarded. The pot-luck luncheon held in June at the Dolphin Head Pavilion was a great success. Over 40 members enjoyed a congenial end of the season get together discussing summer’s personal activities while looking forward to TAG’s next season’s projects. All things pertaining to nature happen earlier here in the Lowcountry. Now is the time to plan and prepare for fall gardens. More visits to the nurseries. Also, an intermittent period in which to enjoy trips to farms nearby and “in the country”. Mark your calendars for Friday, September 19 to join us at our opening meeting for the year. We meet in the Spring Lake Pavilion at 9:30 AM for a coffee/social. The program for the day follows a short business meeting. All HHP residents, men and women, are invited. For further info contact Claudia Hawn at 682-3886 or Corliss Zampino at 681-6062. --Midge Kennedy

Well, the summer is in full swing but it seems we've been receiving more than our fair share of rain here on the Island. Maybe some of your outdoor activities had to be postponed because of the arrival of those little "pop-up" thunderstorms? The good thing about

the rain is what it does for the gardens and you can always go take in a movie or visit an art gallery or museum to pass the time.

Let me suggest stopping by the Plantation House on the fourth Thursday evening (6:30 PM) to spend some

time learning about coins, stamps, paper currency, medals, and other numismatic items. It won't cost you anything other than your time and the small amount of gasittakestogetthereandback.Youmightjustfindout something about coins that you had not anticipated. Who knows? You might have something to share! If you have some old coins, you might get a tip on what to do with them. So, if you want to learn more, give Bob Huisman a call at 715-2516 (or [email protected]).
