Coffee with PeterOur next Coffee is scheduled for Thursday, September 27, 10:00 AM at the Plantation House. Our Special Guest will be Michael Marx with the Community Foundation of the Lowcountry and its Project SAFE Initiative.

Back to schoolYoungsters throughout the community are back at school. Please be alert of our young scholars waiting for busses and riding their bikes to school. 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 traffic 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 MeterOne of the many reasons our community works so well is 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. The weather forecast indicated an 80% to 90% probability of rain and thunderstorms during our main event, which kicked off at noon on July 4th. To nullify that horrible prediction, Assistant General Manager Todd Lindstrom and I allowed Chrissy Kristian, our Activities Director, to purchase a $1,000 insurance policy to just about guarantee that the weather would hold as it did. That $1,000 purchased two large tents, which covered many of the outdoor activities that Chrissy had planned. As a result, Mother Nature gave us an exceptional day. If we had not made the decision to go with the tents it would have most likely rained for sure on our parade! We received many positive comments about the tents as they also provided great shelter from the sun. A wealth of events and games were on hand to delight children and adults of all ages. Including several new games such as the mechanical shark, a virtual reality game, and a giant soccer kick dartboard! Once again, I was the first to be perched atop the Dunk Tank. I counted 33 throws that hit the mark and dropped me into the “Drink.” Our kitchen crew composed this year of Betsy Weppner, Todd Lindstrom, and Bill Dix whom reported that attendees consumed 620 hot dogs and 440 slices of pizza. At 1:15 PM we ran out of hot dogs and buns so yours truly had to run to the good fold at Harris Teeter and fill a shopping cart full of hotdogs and buns!

Spring Lake Pool Our new pool facility continues to be a major attraction and selling point for those interested in our fair community. Real Estate sales are booming in HHP and many realtors are now complaining that they don’t have enough inventory of homes to list for sale to meet the demand. This is a very good indicator of the value buyers are placing on the quality of life we are offering here in the Plantation.

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

WebsiteIf you have not done so already, please visit the POA’s website at www.hiltonheadplantation.com. Consider signing up for our Email Alerts Services, which include Safety Alerts, Exigent Information, Plantation Living (in COLOR) online, and our recreation updates. Signing-up takes less than a minute and can be found under the Email Services tap on the left of the screen. Hurricane KitsWith the back drop of Hurricane’s Matthew and Irma in our mind, please review the POA’s Hurricane Preparedness Guide. The guide can be found on the POA’s website www.hiltonheadplantation.com under the Security Section or you can be pick-up a copy at the POA Service Center on Surrey Lane. Please review this very important guide, which has been updated due to our experience with Hurricane Matthew. 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 systems please give the sprinkler heads a periodic tune up. Over time these heads get out of adjustments and often times they will put more water on your driveway and the street, than they place on your turf and plant material. `

Quick RemindersDo not feed or harass the alligators. At the suggestion of a property owner, we just installed new signs at the Main Street traffic circle that indicate “Use Turn Signal”. Please mind the signs and signal your turns. Lastly, if you are fishing please remember it is your responsibility to clean up your area when you leave. We ask that you practice Catch and Release at all of the POA’s freshwater lagoons.

School Board RunMany of you are aware that I have filed to run for the District 10 Beaufort County Board of Education seat, some have asked how this will affect my position as General Manager of Hilton Head Plantation. That is a fair question and deserves a straight forward answer. First, I am running for the District 10 seat, which does not include any part of Hilton Head Plantation (HHP), HHP is in District 8. Voting for District 10 School Board

candidates is only open to registered voters living within the boundaries of District 10. If elected, I fully intend to continue as General Manager of HHP. I will have to give up my seat on the Town of Hilton Head’s Planning Commission, as I cannot legally hold two offices in the State of South Carolina at the same time. If elected I would start my School Board term of office on January 1, 2019 at that time I would have 18 months remaining on my second three (3) year term on the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission is scheduled to meet twice monthly. I am currently vice chair of the Planning Commission and chair of the Land Management Ordinance (LMO) subcommittee which meets periodically to make recommendations on changes to the Town’s Land Management Ordnance. I am also on the Comprehensive Plan sub-committee. As you may have deduced, even without the rule of prohibiting holding two offices simultaneously, the time commitment to perform the duties of both offices would be far too burdensome while holding the full time demanding job as your General Manager.

Before making the decision to run for the School Board I sought the counsel of many individuals including the HHPPOA Board. I did not ask the Board for any type of endorsement as that would be improper. I did ask and obtain their permission as their employee to run for the District 10 seat.

I do not intend to use the communication tools of HHP to provide information on my run for the School Board or if elected, to vet views. I begrudging have a personal Facebook page that I will used for that purpose, and I am also on LinkedIn if you are a subscriber of that professional site. I was a very happy property owner in HHP for over thirteen years. I decided to downsize about five years ago and now live in a small community called the Jarvis Creek Club right off of Spanish Wells Road, which is in District 10.

Stay Safe

“Harry Heron” Master Covenants Bird This month’s focus: There is an exception to every rule except this one: Read the HHPPOA Rules and Regulations.

At times, my thoughts get tangled in my wings, warping tendons with the comings and goings within the Plantation. For our many seasoned residents, some of my observations may appear redundant. The reason for repeating is to inform our fledging residents and their broods who have recently moved into our aviary call Hilton Head Plantation. This may be their welcome issue

of Plantation Living. I want to personally introduce myself to all that occupy our humble avian and human sanctuary. My given name is Harold Giovanni Heron (Harry for short. Giovanni jokes will surely get you a covenant violation! My mother is from Italian Heron descent), the Master Covenants Bird. I try earnestly to be the voice of reason. I am responsible for informing residents about the Plantation’s Covenants, and Rules and Regulations.

Flying above the Plantation, I frequently travel throughout the different neighborhoods observing the daily events of neighbors and viewing properties. I try hard to use stealth when flying about. Sometimes I will find myself in the middle of a philosophical discussion on the interpretation of the POA's various documents and policies. Often these deliberations lead to a better understanding of the Plantation’s governing documents, but it also gives me insight into some of the nuances encountered with enforcement. I bring these details back to the Covenants Committee for their thoughtful consideration, which often times leads to a modification or clarification of our Rules and Regulations for the better. In short, my Italian moms side comes out and I make the Covenants Committee “….an offer they cannot refuse!”

Rules, rules, rules, and even more rules — it does seem at times to be overwhelming. I overheard a disgruntled young chick offer to be a consigliere to a gosling friend by saying, "These Rules sound great when reading them in your nest; however, trying to apply them on the 'fly' can be a real challenge." Many have said that the squeaky landing gear gets olive oiled first; however, those that nurture relationships and pay constant attention to maintaining an ongoing rapport with their fellow beings never seem to run out of the oily stuff, let alone have a single squeaky wheel. Keep in mind that slow and steady most always wins the race across the lagoon, or any other course for that matter. Harry believes in the golden rule above all- “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”

Introductions aside, there are several matters of concern

that bear repeated honking in goose lingo. With a dramatic influx of new fledglings this year, I wanted to stress the following:

• Pool Rules (hours of operation, the new no smoking rule, dress code, diaper code, code of conduct)• Fishing Rules (what lagoons to fish, hours to fish, the catch and release policy, what lagoons requires fishing license, identification requirement)• Regulations governing the Spring Lake Pavilion, Dolphin Head Recreation, and the conservancies (as God Father Heron would say these facilities all post signs noting hours and days of operation Monday, Tuesday, THURSDAY, Wednesday, Friday, )• Parking, pet and people rules, unauthorized vehicles rules, POD rules• Commercial hours rules, contractor rules. You can find a copy of the Rules and Regulations on the POA’s Website: www.hiltonheadplantation.com or stop by the POA Service Center to obtain a hard copy.

It’s often said that change is good. Well, in the words of a consigliere friend of mine "….that depends." As I fly around the Plantation, I’m delighted to see so many folks busy with outdoor chores. Whether it's adding or removing landscape material, repainting, putting on a new roof, or enlarging your nest…I mean, home. This is all good, and in many respects encourages other residents to do the same. A word of precaution, before you get the entire street up in wings...darn, I keep forgetting you are humans…"arms", contact the ARB Department (843-681-8800 ext. 231), and speak to Betsy Weppner. You’ll need to share your ideas with Betsy to avoid any possible missteps.

The ARB must be informed of any exterior work, i.e. modifications, additions, re-roofing, re-staining, dumpsters, and the replacement of windows, doors, or rotten wood. You need to fill out the necessary paperwork, and, in some cases, a fee and submit plans (detailed drawings) noting elevations, setbacks, and roofline detail, before the work can be authorized. Approved permits must be picked up before work can proceed.

It’s been a busy year at the POA. Many new fledglings visited the POA, introduced themselves, and wanted to get involved in the Plantation’s activities by offering to volunteer for the many different committees. Thanks to all of you for supporting our Governing Documents and continuing to make our paradise a reality. I may not make you “….an offer you cannot refuse” but I am always seeking out common ground for all concerned.

Page 6 - August 2018 POA Information/Activities

I have been asked on several occasions recently, how a community our size is able to keep the crime rate in check, when compared to the greater Hilton Head Island community. The answer is simple; we employ the community policing philosophy department wide. We are here not only to enforce the laws and keep the peace, but also to simply help.

Community policing has been defined as a collaborative effort between law enforcement and the community that identifies problems of crime and enhances the quality of life in the community. It accomplishes these goals by combining the efforts of the Security Department, POA staff, and our community members.

Many policing concepts in recent years have tended to isolate officers from the community they serve which can hamper crime control efforts. A good community-policing agency is charged with the responsibility of crime prevention. Most traditional law enforcement agencies are charged with ‘solving’ the crime problem, the drug problem, the DUI problem, the domestic violence problem, and so on. Those are predominately REACTIVE concepts. Community policing allows a Security Department to get back to the principles upon which policing was founded; to integrate itself, once again, into the fabric of the community so the people come to Security for counsel and help before a serious problem arises. This allows the officers to provide PROACTIVE solutions rather than to be solely reactive.

For any community policing program to be beneficial there must be a long-term commitment from everyone involved. Our goal has always been to form lasting partnerships between our community members and the Security Department. We have had great successes with this technique. We feel that by providing even non-law enforcement services to our residents that it opens the lines of communications and enhances our Crime Prevention efforts in a big way. Each and every call for service, whether it is in response to a medical emergency or a call for a jumpstart, gets our officers out into the community so they can establish a rapport and a level of trust with residents. This sustained integration serves to open the lines of communication with the residents of the Plantation.

As you can see from reports in the media, crime seems to be on the increase outside our gates. The Hilton Head Plantation Security Department recognizes the value of bringing the people back into the policing process. Hilton Head Plantation is by no means crime free, however by adopting a community policing philosophy we have decreased the likelihood of criminal activity gaining a foothold on the Plantation. We encourage the community to express their concerns over crime related or quality of

Security − Community Policing on the Plantationlife issues. We will continue to work with the community to provide problem-solving activities. Please join us in our efforts to keep Hilton Head Plantation a safe and enjoyable community. If you see something that doesn’t look right, report it. If you have a crime or safety concern call me or better yet, come down to the office and we’ll discuss it over coffee.

A call to a central number for the contact information that matches the chip number means that you and your dog will soon be reunited.

To take advantage of this service, you MUST register and pay in advance. Send a check for $25 (members, $20) made payable to HHP Dog Club to Helen Collins, 3 Highbush Drive, HHI, SC 29926.

As always, HHP Dog Club has been working for the community. On June 19, for the second year in a row, several club members, led by Priss Calanni, provided lessons on bonding with your own dog and safely interacting with other dogs. The lesson was delivered to three sessions of Kids Kamp, to a total of 117 students. Kudos to Priss and her team!

Summer in Hilton Head is the perfect time to enjoy outdoor activities. While you are swimming, boating, and biking around the Island, be on the lookout for our photographers and plein air painters, those artists who take advantage of the natural light to immerse themselves in their work, exploring new and creative ways to express themselves.

Our Hilton Head Artists members also include sculptors, jewelry, and glass artisans, as well as fiber designers. Whatever your artistic passion is, you will always find a welcome in our group. Come check us out by stopping by the Plantation House to view an ever-changing collection of our artist’s works on display year round. Some of the painters gather to paint together every Wednesday morning at the Dolphin Head Recreational facility. Feel free to stop by to observe or join in.

Big BandThe HHP Big Band has been having quite a busy season. We are looking forward to two upcoming performances

at The Seabrook and the Country Club of Hilton Head. Additionally, we are potentially looking at one or two more shows before the year is out.

The band has been working hard to add more tunes to our lineup, so that our performances are fresh and not repetitive from show-to-show. The new, younger players have been instrumental in getting us to add songs by Coldplay and Adele, performers that some of the band had to check out on YouTube to get familiar with!

On behalf of the band, I would like to extend our thanks to all of the staff at the Plantation for their continued support and to everyone who made our recent concert at the Plantation House a success.

The Avid Gardeners (TAG)At this mid-July writing for Plantation Living, we can say with conviction this has been a very hot summer, but I guess that’s only fair as this past winter was the coldest winter we’ve experienced since moving to HHI over 11 years ago! Olivia Ford, TAG’s 1st VP-Programs, has

had a very busy summer as she works to develop the programs for TAG’s upcoming fiscal year (September to June). Our September 21 meeting will be a presentation by Tim Drake from The Greenery entitled, “Shade Gardening in the Low Country”. Tim will discuss ways to grow plants that need more shade than sun, including hostas, as well as the specific plants that will do well when grown in our area. This should be a very interesting program, and as always, the public is invited to our meetings.

For our October 19 meeting, TAG is honored to host the President of The Garden Club of South Carolina, Inc., Ms. Donna Donnelly. Donna will address the “President’s Project” entitled “Feed the Birds”. This project is to educate GCSC members and the public on how they can make the transition from only feeding from a bird feeder to cultivating habitats in which the birds can feed themselves. These habitats can be established in our backyards and in our community. Gardens are havens for wildlife, even at the end of the growing season, and can be left to provide food, cover, and protection for birds and other wildlife. Donna will also bring along many homemade birdhouses to sell, which are made for all types of birds.

Our November 16 TAG meeting will also be our 2nd Annual “Make It, Bake It, Sew It, Grow It” Silent Auction. TAG members produce most of the items that will be available in the silent auction, and in 2017, the 1st Annual Silent Auction was the most successful fund raising project TAG has ever done, and again, the public is invited.

In December, we will not have a regular meeting on the third Friday of the month, but rather we will have our annual TAG Holiday Party at the Country Club of Hilton Head. Liz Van Alstyne is the Chairperson for this event, and she is currently working out the date with CCHH.

TAG meetings are on the third Friday of each month, and all HHP residents are always invited. The meetings begin with a coffee/social at 9:30 AM in Spring Lake Pavilion, followed by a short business meeting at 10:00 AM, and then that month's program. If you are interested in potentially joining TAG, please contact 2nd VP-Membership, Carol Sevelowitz, at [email protected].

There will be no Fishing Club meeting in August. Our next meeting will be on Wednesday, September 26, with another not-to-be-missed presentation by the Birds of Prey Organization.

Thanks to all members who donated their time, perspiration, and sometimes patience, to help all of the children at Kids Kamp. There were some mighty hot days. Thanks also to Gaylon Greger for his efforts at organizing fishing charters during the past years. That sometimes thankless task has been taken over by soon-to-be past President Terry Howland. Charters are being planned for weeks in advance. You can see what has been scheduled by going to the club’s website (hhpfishingclub.com), selecting “ACTIVITIES” and then, “Charter Fishing Trips”. Call Terry at 843-812-5998 to reserve a spot. To avoid cancellations, which impose an unfair penalty on other folks who have signed up, you must prepay for these trips. If you must for some reason cancel, you must find a substitute to cover the cost.

Of the twelve members who signed up for two catfishing trips to Lake Marion, seven backed out causing Dave Morse to scramble to fill the spots. Don’t sign up for these trips unless you truly plan to go!

One of the worst things a charter captain can say to you after a bad day of fishing is “You should have been here yesterday. We killed ‘em”. My daughter’s family was here last month and I scheduled two half day inshore trips (My daughter has a lot of children and they bring friends). We fished one spot that shall remain nameless and did absolutely nothing. Three days later, a new boatload was taken to the same spot. Constant activity! We kept four nice redfish and released more than a dozen, including some which were above the maximum allowable length.

Fish are less expensive when you buy them at Publix or Benny Hudson’s, but there is something about fighting a big redfish that can’t be matched at the seafood store.

Softball ClubThe HHP Softball club is currently holding our weekly practices on Mondays at 10:00 AM at the softball field near the POA Service Center. We get together, throw the ball around, and work on basic fundamentals of the game including hitting, fielding, and base running. Occasionally, we scrimmage if we have enough players. Our practices are fairly low key, and generally a great way for the players to work on their game and meet new friends at the same time. We play games out at Sun City, usually every Wednesday at noon. We also play The Landings Team from Skidaway Island. We are looking for additional competition to play against. We always want to attract new players (male or female) to the team. You can practice or play as much or as little as you are comfortable with. Our team is made up of some really great people, come and join the fun. If you are interested, please feel free to contact Bob Huisman at [email protected] or come out and join us or watch a future practice or game!

Softball is fun! Rick Sarcione, President617-513-0234 mobile [email protected]

Men’s Cooking ClubMen’s 2nd Wednesday Cooking ClubOur second Wednesday Men’s Cooking Club has been taking the summer off. We are excited to resume in September.

We are actively seeking new members and invite any HHP resident with even a passing interest in cooking to join us for our September meeting. If you would enjoy a great lunch and like to explore what we are all about, please join us at noon on Wednesday, September 12.

It’s August and HHP Craft Workshop members, along with many of you, have been enjoying the summer concerts, the Spring Lake pool complex,

Dolphin Head, visits from family and friends, as well as traveling to exotic places near and far.

Whether at home or far away, craft projects are never far from our minds. Some of our members have been touring quilt stores in the Pennsylvania Dutch country, searching for driftwood and seashells along our eastern shores, collecting sea glass on the rocky beaches of Maine, and visiting craft stores and shows wherever we find ourselves.

The next two months will be busy for the HHP Craft Workshop as the creative minds and hands of our members make exciting, unusual, and beautiful items for our upcoming fall sale. At the sale you will find wonderful new items as well as some of our best sellers from previous years. Some of our repeat items will include: decorative shell items, totes, scarves, toys for children, and knitted sweaters, hats and scarfs. New items will include novelty jewelry and button art work.

SAVE THE DATE: Saturday, October 209:00 AM until 2:00 PMChrist Lutheran Church

The Glass Castle Jeanette Walls 4.4 Rating

The Glass Castle is a remarkable memoir of resilience and redemption, and a revelatory look into a family at once deeply dysfunctional and uniquely vibrant. When sober, Jeannette's brilliant and charismatic father captured his children's imagination, teaching them physics, geology, and how to embrace life fearlessly. But when he drank, he was dishonest and destructive. Her mother was a free spirit who abhorred the idea of domesticity and didn't want the responsibility of raising a family. The Walls children learned to take care of themselves. They fed, clothed, and protected one another, and eventually found their way to New York. Their parents followed them, choosing to be homeless even as their children prospered. The Glass Castle is truly astonishing--a memoir permeated by the intense love of a peculiar, but loyal family.

Pros/Cons: Also a great story. It is a memoir. So it is non-fiction.

Garage Band ClubThe recently re-imagined Garage Band Club is intended for musicians (beginner to experienced) who want to play ‘classics’ that are rock, country, blues (and maybe pop). We want to have a good time playing music that people like to hear. Attendees are encouraged to submit songs that the band should play before the meeting. That way we can be ready to ‘rock on’ when we get together. Bring your instruments and voices! We could really use someone who plays the organ and a horn would be great, too. Singers are welcome and everyone is encouraged to help the band get a set of songs together. We will do more planning and thinking/discussing at the next meeting in August. The Garage Band meets on the first Wednesday of the month at the Plantation House from 7:30 until 10:00 PM.

Please come and rock out. For more information you may contact Tony Smithson at 847-922-8588 ([email protected]) or Ric Blaine at 706-373-8204 ([email protected]).

Spring Lake Tennis/HHP Clubs August 2018 - Page 17

The Big H&H...HEAT & HUMIDITY. This has really been one of the hottest summers we've had in a long time. The rain has also cut into our court time, it seems like every afternoon we have a thunder storm. We tennis players are a hardy group, toughing it out, with plenty of liquids and bananas. Good thing we have the new pool adjacent to the courts, so we can float down the lazy river after our games. Fall is around the corner, which means it is time for our Twilight Pizza Social in September. We turn the Pro Shop Patio into a Pizzeria (last year's event pictured on the right), and our very popular Octoberfest, where the Pro Shop Patio becomes a Biergarten. Check the Pro Shop for the sign up sheet, and remember you do not have to be a SL Tennis member to join in the fun and tennis.

Spring Lake would like to congratulate four USTA teams that won their respective division and qualified for the State Championship. In the 65 & over combo: 7.5 women SL Ageless Wonders (captain Harriette Greenberg) 7.5 men SL Springers (captain Brian Fatzinger) In the 65 & over 7.0 mixed: SL Lakers (captain Tom Larkin) In the 18 & over 8.0 mixed: SL Unmatched (captain Amy Abernathy)

The Activities Department is excited to offer a One-Day Workshop with LeAnn Kalita on The Illustrated Journal. Creating small paintings which capture the spirit of a place and time enrich fond memories, more so than a photograph. Learn to merge images and words, select key elements from a scene, and explore dif-ferent techniques with watercolor and ink to begin a personal journal. No two journals are alike – one could be a garden-ing journal, another of a trip to Italy, yet another a keepsake of natural beauty.

LeAnn will provide demonstrations, guide all participants in exploring visual options, and offer plenty of individual instruc-tion as these unique creations evolve. Join this workshop to begin creating your own meaningful journal – or one that you will give as a very special gift - and forget about scrolling through hundreds of extraneous images on your phone.

All levels welcome. Basic watercolor supplies and a journal needed. Supply list suggestions given at registration. Coffee and “a little something” will be provided in the AM; bring a bagged lunch for our lunch break. When: Thursday, September 6 Time: 9:30 AM – 4:00 PMPlace: Spring Lake Pavilion Cost: $90/person

Would you like to paint your holiday cards this year? Join LeAnn Kalita in September and create your own series of Hand-Painted Notecards. The perfect “extra-something” for a thank you note, to extend an invitation, or simply update a friend.

LeAnn personally selected the six images to be used as each clearly represents Lowcountry life and can be easily painted. In each of the three classes, LeAnn will demonstrate tips on painting two cards and will give assistance as you build up your supply.

Included in the registration fee: the six reference images, a transfer image of each, and transfer paper for you to keep. And, you are always welcome to use your personal images.

All you must bring is basic watercolors, pencil, gum eraser, two small sized brushes, and watercolor notecards. Or, you may purchase from LeAnn a set of 50 Notecards/Envelopes (4.25 x 5.50”) and 6 test sheets for $25, payable in class.
