FIRST CITY IN SC
TO ENACT BAN
BY KATHRYN CASEY
ISLAND EYE NEWS STAFF WRITER
t its June 23 council meeting,

the Isle of Palms became the first
city in South Carolina to ban the
distribution of single-use plastic bags
by retailers to consumers. Members of
the Isle of Palms community expressed
hope that this will be a first step toward
protecting the wildlife that live in the
marshes, ocean, ponds and streams of
the island from the dangers of plastic.
Ive
been
rehabilitating
South
Carolinas sick and injured sea turtles
with the Aquariums Sea Turtle Rescue
Program for the past 5 1/2 years
and have personally witnessed lifethreatening complications caused by
the ingestion of plastics in our patients,
Christi L. Hughes, a Senior Sea Turtle
Biologist from the South Carolina
Aquarium, said. One of our recentlyadmitted patients, a loggerhead named
Midway, began defecating large amounts
of plastic on June 11. Two sizable pieces
of plastic passed by this loggerhead sea
turtle are clearly identifiable as plastic
bags consistent with those distributed by
grocery stores.
As defined by the ordinance singleuse plastic bags are bags provided by a
business establishment to a customer
typically at the point of sale for the
purpose of transporting purchases. A
common example would be the plastic
bags one receives at a grocery store.
This ordinance does not include the
following within its definition of singleuse carryout bags: laundry dry cleaning
bags, door-hanger bags, newspaper bags,
bags intended for use as garbage, pet
waste, or yard waste, bags provided by
pharmacist or veterinarians to contain

Message from the Mayor of Sullivan's Island

Dear Island Neighbors,
Thanks to the Island Eye News for affording me the space for
a monthly column to update our Sullivans Island citizens on
whats going on in matters related to our Town, assuming
I can get my stuff in on deadline. I must keep reminding
myself that for more than nine years I did a weekly column
on weight control for the Sunday Post & Courier, using up
a bunch of legal pads in those pre-Internet days. So with
luck, and assistance from our Town staff, this will be a
regular feature and not a space for last-minute-discounted
ads!
New and Departing Town Councilmembers
We recently welcomed 4 new members of Town Council. Sarah
Church is completing the remaining two years of the term vacated
when I became Mayor. Mark Howard, Rita Langley and Bachman
Smith IV began four-year terms. Along with Susan Middaugh and
Chauncey Clark, who are in the middle of their terms, we have a
very talented team that I think will provide excellent leadership going
forward.
At the same time I want to acknowledge the great service of our
departing Councilmembers: Mary Jane Watson, Jerry Kaynard and
Hartley Cooper. Please thank all of them for their service when
you see them. Recreation needs on the island never had a more
effective advocate than Mary Jane Watson. She was a one-person
Recreation Department for the entire eight years of her service, and
families on the island now take for granted a number of recurring
activities that Mary Jane initiated. Jerry Kaynard was a very
involved Councilmember for eight years. In particular, he was a
strong advocate for rebuilding the elementary school and, as Mayor
Pro Tem, shouldered numerous additional responsibilities after the
death of Mayor Mike Perkis. During Hartley Coopers four-year term,
she was a highly effective leader in the fight to rebuild our school,
and as Chair of the Public Facilities Committee, shepherded the long
process leading up to the design of our new Town Hall and Police
Station
Speaking of the new Town Hall and Police Station
Plastic bags continues from cover
prescription drugs, bags used by restaurants
to take away prepared food, etc.
This ordinance does not restrict the average
person from carrying a plastic bag onto
the Island either. If, for example, you go to
Target across the connector and bring home
your purchases in the plastic bags provided,
you will not get a ticket or be reprimanded.
The ordinance only prohibits a person from
providing single-use carryout bags at any city
facility, city-sponsored event, or any event
held on city property, and also prohibits any
business establishment within the city limits
from providing single-use carryout bags to its
customers.
Harris Teeter on the island now provides
paper bags for carrying out groceries and will
also sell reusable carryout paper bags with
two handles manufactured from recyclable
paper.
We broke ground for the new Town Hall and Police Station
on Tuesday, June 17. Look for increasing activity on the
construction site. Unfortunately, construction will eliminate
a number of parking spots in the lot between the fire
station and the park. We will post signs directing parkers
to alternate locations, but there will clearly be a reduction
in the numbers of parking spots in that area in the near
term. Please be assured that, while some construction
fencing may be in place, the J. Marshall Stith Park will be
open with full access to Park facilities. The Towns annual
Independence Day Music and Fireworks event will take place
in the Park as usual.
Speaking of Independence Day
The Golf Cart and Bike Parade will depart from the Sullivans
Island Elementary School and end at The Island Club on July 4.
Participants may get in line at 8 a.m., the event begins at 8:20 a.m.
and parade starts at 8:30a.m. Please decorate your carts, bikes
and selves in the theme of your choice. Judging categories include:
Most Patriotic (1st, 2nd, 3rd), Most Creative (1st, 2nd, 3rd), Best All
Around (1st, 2nd, 3rd) and Honorable Mention. Weather permitting
the Town will host its usual music and fun at the J. Marshall Stith
Park later in the day. Shem Creek Boogie Band will provide music
beginning at 6 p.m. with the fireworks show at dusk (no coolers or
pets please).
Lets also remember the real purpose of Independence Day, and
give thanks for the liberty and freedom we enjoy in this country and
the sacrifices that secured it. Its especially appropriate for us on the
island to stay mindful of that. As you know, the Battle of Sullivans
Island on June 28, 1776, at what we now know as Fort Moultrie, is
considered the first significant American victory over British sea and
land forces in the costly war that gained our freedom.
Happy Independence Day! Heres to an enjoyable, congenial
and safe summer.
Pat ONeil
Mayor of Sullivan's Island
Reducing our consumption of plastic bags

just makes sense, Island resident Kathy
Kent, who has been leading the Ban the
Bag movement on the Isle of Palms, said. It
makes economic sense to protect tourism and
property valuesboth tied to the health and
beauty of our ocean and beaches. It makes
sense to do what we can to protect not only
marine life, including endangered species of
sea turtles, but also our fishing economy.
And now that we know from studies at the
College of Charleston and the Citadel that
plastic bits are being consumed by oysters
and shrimp, it makes sense to stop poisoning
our food. The plastics lobby's claims of the
environmental and health benefits of plastic
bags have been proven to be untrue or greatly
exaggerated, and the move away from plastic
bags is gaining momentum across the U.S.
and the world. More and more municipalities
[are] looking [to] ban plastic bags each week.
Why? Because, although it isn't a cure-all,
it's an easy way for us to cut down on the

amount of plastic reaching our waterways.
Harris Teeter has already made the switch
away from plastic bags, and as you talk
to people who wouldn't necessarily label
themselves as conservationists, they are
happy to go without plastic bags to make a
positive impact on the health of our oceans.
Although at previous city council meetings,
Kent and many other citizens have spoken
in favor of the ban, at the June meeting two
residents spoke out saying they do not want
a ban of plastic bags on the island. They
presented many facts including dangers
associated with reusable carryout bags due
to bacteria. Although their comments gave
pause to the Council, the vote was still
unanimous.
The ban will go into effect in six months.

Sullivan's new council kicks off business

BY SALLY DUNAWAY
he June 16 Sullivan's
Island
Town
Council
meeting began promptly at
6 p.m., and, after a welcome and
the Pledge of Allegiance, each of
the three newly-elected council
members stepped forward to be
sworn into service. First was Mark
Howard, then Rita Langley, then
Bachman Smith IV. Immediately
following the recitation of oaths,
Mayor ONeil shed his coat and
opened the floor for general
comments.
Students Auburn Jeffries from
Ashley Hall and Margaret Quinn
from Mount Pleasant presented
their Plastic Bag Ban Project
and challenged the community
to stop wasting so much plastic
and take action. Each of the
speakers introduced various
threats plastic bags pose our
islands wildlife and to the planet
at large. Of the 18 businesses they
spoke with, 17 supported their
initiative. Mayor ONeil thanked
them for their presentation and
said this gave the council some
food for thought on potential
alternatives to plastic bags.
Next up was Mike Bourland
who proposed that Raven Road
FOR ISLAND EYE NEWS
extension,
an
increasingly
popular route, be renamed
Conlan Avenue, in honor of
the Conlan family which has
lived on the island for over 110
years. After 110 years, you get
some rights, he said. Bourland
is currently organizing a survey
to gauge Sullivans Islands
residents interest in changing
the nameand, if willing, which
names they would support.
There were no other comments,
and the meeting continued into
approval of the minutes from the
May 19 regular meeting, the May
27 Council Retreat, and the June
1 special meeting. The minutes
were unanimously approved by
the members who were present
at each respective session.
Next, Jason Blanton presented
the resolution to increase fund
balance from the 2014 fiscal
year. In June 2011, town council
passed a General Fund ordinance
that would divvy-up surplus
funds. At the end of each year,
25 30 percent of excess funds
would be sent to the Capital
Improvement Reserve and the
Emergency Reserve. Because
the town brought in more than
(it) spent, according to Mayor

ONeil, this resolution will
determine where the remaining
unrestricted reserve will be sent.
The surplus goes to the capital
improvement reserve. After that,
all the remaining goes to the
general surplus reserves. The
resolution passed unanimously.
Next,
Susan
Middaugh
presented a resolution to increase
water and sewer fees for the
upcoming fiscal year, proposing
updated charges for water and
sewer maintenance and services.
Councilmembers unanimously
approved the motion.
Mayor ONeil then led the
Proclamation of June 28, 2015
as Carolina Day in celebration
of Colonel William Moultrie and
William Thomsons victory over
the British in 1776 on Sullivans
Island.
Every two years, council holds
a vote for the council committee
appointments. The results were
as follow. Finance Committee: all
council members. Administration
Chair: Mark Howard, with
members Sarah Church and
Susan Middaugh. Land Uses and
Natural Resources Chair: Rita
Langley, with members Chauncey

Clark and Mayor ONeil. Public
Facilities Chair: Bachman Smith
IV, with members Chauncey
Clark and Mark Howard. Public
Safety Chair: Chauncey Clark,
with members Sarah Church and
Mayor O'Neil. Recreation Chair:
Sarah Church, with members Rita
Langley and Susan Middaugh.
Water and Sewer Chair: Susan
Middaugh, with members Mark
Howard and Bachman Smith IV.
The assignment approval was
unanimous. Chauncey Clark,
nominated by Middaugh, was
appointed Mayor Pro Tempore.
Should Mayor ONeil be unable to
serve, Clark will assume Mayoral
responsibilities. All voted in favor
of the appointment--except Clark
himself, who joked that he had
no comment.
Mayor
ONeil
announced
that the turtle nest discovered
between Station 23 and 24 was
relocated to Station 25. The nest
holds approximately 130 eggs.
Next, he announced that Isle
of Palms has requested formal,

County EMS. Currently, EMS
serves the island, however, they
wish to reinforce these safetyensuring services, particularly
after the Isle of Palms received
25 EMS calls on Memorial Day
Weekend.
The Planning Commission
took off the item of conservation
easement useswhich would
basically allow anyone with
structures on vacant properties
for the removal the homes and the
placement of a small accessory
structure on the property. They
have scheduled a public hearing
for the next meeting on July
8th which would allow them to
develop a recommendation and
present it to town council on
August 18.
The
Finance
Committee
announced the opening of the
$54,000 Nature Trail on Station
26, and reported, in the words
of Mayor ONeil, that everything
seems to be going as projected.
Clark, Chair of the Public
Safety Committee asked if
everyone had heard about their
new truck. Its red, he joked.
The new fire truck was funded
by grant money and was recently
announced the winner for Myrtle
Beachs Emergency-One Fire
Truck Calendar. There were also
a few coyote sightings since last
session, though there have been
noticeably fewer since last month.
Clark concluded by reminding all
that this town is in the business
of safety and rescue.
The
Water
and
Sewer
Committee passed the budget
minutes, announced the towns

pending status for the final
review of the States Priority
List, assured members that no
changes were expected, and
proposed that the committee
begin engineering the lengthy
application for Federal PreDisaster Mitigation Funding, to
be submitted some time next
spring.
The
Public
Facilities
Committee
discussed
old
business, mentioning the Nature
Trail, the proposal for the Raven
Road Name Change, and the
requested re-construction of
the Station 26 boat landing. In
new business: the construction
of the boardwalk to the beach
for school kids coming from
the west end of the island, the
handicap walkway, a possible
solution for traffic problems with
school children biking from the
Western region of the island, and
the Station 17 street water plant
that needs new fencing were
discussed.
The Recreation committee had
no news, except that Town Hall
parking for the towns Fourth
of July celebrations would not
be impeded by the new Town
Hall Construction. After July 4,
however, the construction site
and parking lot will be fenced off.
And, with that, the meeting
was adjourned for the public, and
an executive session to discuss
legalities of split-zoned lots and
violations of the vacation rentals
ordinance commenced.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Plastic kills wildlife
Dear Editor,
I'd like to share my simple facts concerning the serious plague
of plastic in our oceans. We've all read about the millions of small
pieces of plastic floating in our oceans, but did you realize theyre
mostly microscopic? Its estimated that there are about .4 bits of
plastic for every cubic meter of surface water. Microscopic plastics
are afflicting all marine life and those that eat fish. (Do you eat fish?)
At least 100,000 marine animals are estimated to die as a result
of plastic marine debris each year, a number that may increase
dramatically with better estimates of mortality from marine debris
affecting difficult-to-observe neonate sea turtles.
Sea turtles caught in lost or abandoned plastic fishing gear may be
injured or drowned. Those that mistake floating debris for food are
at risk from intestinal compaction or tearing, digestive suppression,
and exposure to chemical toxicants adsorbed by (accumulated on
the surface of) the plastics. Not only turtlesdolphins, fish, shrimp
and birds are afflicted, too. The number of birds ingesting plastic
increased each year over a recent four-year study. Nearly two thirds
of the fledglings exceeded the amount of plastic ingestion that is
considered acceptable by international standards.
Each year Americans throw away 100 billion plastic grocery
bags, only 0.6 percent of plastic bags are recycled, which are
produced by nearly 2,500 barrels of oil. Replacing plastic grocery
bags with reusable bags not only reduces the plastic stream but
also conserves oil. The evidence is irrefutable. I am proud to live
on an island that is leading the way in a global effort to protect our
beloved oceans, marine life and shorebirdsas well as our children
and our grandchildren.

Get your big city buzz in Charlotte

BY CAROL ANTMAN
The soaring architecture by Mario Botta at the Bechtler Museum.
n 1941, sick and confined to bed,

unable to stand at an easel and
paint, it seemed Henri Matisses
artistic life was over. Critics had
labeled him the wild beast for
his startlingly bold colors. Now he
was a broken man But Matisse
was not bowed. He began each day
with poetry which he compared
to oxygen, just as when you leap
out of bed you fill your lungs with
fresh air. From his bed he began
painting with scissors, cutting
out huge color-saturated shapes
and arranging them with the help
of his assistants and grandchildren
until they filled his room. You see,
as I am obliged to remain often in
bedI have made a little garden
all around me where I can walk
There are leaves, fruits, a bird.He
continued to create for 13 more
years, pushing his art further than
ever.He called it his grace period.
He even attached a piece of chalk
to a long pole and drew the faces
of his grandchildren on the ceiling
so he could look up at them while
he went to sleep.I am deeply
contented, happy, he said.
Christopher
Lawing,
Vice
President for Programming and
FOR ISLAND EYE NEWS
Research for the Bechtler Museum

of Modern Art, enthusiastically
recounted this inspiring story as
we toured the light-filled galleries
where 80 framed prints of these
collages are on display through
September 7 as part of the exhibition
The Art Books of Henri Matisse.
Jazz is the most famous with its
imagery drawn from the circus and
music halls. Its considered one of
the greatest illustrated books of the
20th century. Christopher pointed
out Matisses masterful use of
positive and negative space, how
he riffed on philodendron and
his preoccupation with color and
light that fueled his intense joie de
vivre. Mario Botta, the museums
architect also curated light in the
diminutive building where soaring
windows
frame
skyscrapers.
Christopher explained that critics
responded with shock, amazement
and occasional laughter to Matisses
work, but we need artists to shock
and awe to move us forward.We
speculated together on which
contemporary artists were moving
us forward now. I left inspired, full
of new ideas.
The exhibit was a perfect
introduction to Charlotte, a big

city full of the vitality and creative
energy, where history combines
with modernity. The Dunhill Hotel
is a stellar example. Built in 1929,
the ten-story hotel has been fully
restored. The independent hotel
is an Historic Inn of America. Its
refined architecture with neoclassical embellishments adds
character to Charlottes modern
big-city shape. But it is decidedly
a 21st century luxury hotel with
all the modern conveniences in its
60 well-appointed guest rooms. As
downtown Charlotte pulses and
hums around it, the Dunhill is a
quiet, elegant oasis right in its
center. We parked our car upon
arrival and never needed it again.
Within walking distance are many
attractions: the Mint Museum, the
McColl Center for Art, Discovery
Place, the Blumenthal Performing
Arts center, the Bank of America
Stadium, the Time Warner Arena,
Spirit Square, the Levine Museum
and others. The Dunhill offers a
package with the Bechtler with
discounts and amenities.
In 2014 the hotel challenged
Chris Coleman to come aboard
and create a fresh, new Southern

concept that would put its
restaurant The Asbury on the A list
for discerning culinary travelers.
A devout locavore, Chris sources
from about 40 local farmers,
fishermen and food artisans. His
inspirations are the bounty of the
region, his grandmother and his
sense of humor.I like to mix it
up a little. He tops deviled eggs
with cheeky fried cornichon, he
decorates plates with colorful
nasturtiums and serves a cast iron
skillet of Maw Maws biscuits with
sass-worthy Bacon-Onion. When
the world seems crazy and nothing
much seems to make sense
anymore, turn to Bacon Jam. It
makes comfort foods comfortable
Watch your cares magically melt
away.
Creative sparks were also flying
up the street at 5 Church where the
hostess Mercury Arteaga explained,
I love this restaurant; Its more
of a museum.The entire book
Art of War was inscribed on the
ceiling! Sea-creature-inspired light
fixtures, undulating sculptures
and ironic murals gave the space a
funky, lively vibe as a young crowd
The Dunhill Hotel is a prime example in combining history with modernity.

toasted brunch with mimosas and

ate sunny-side egg pizzas. Word on
the street is that this restaurant
is opening on Market Street in
Charleston. Outside the windows
teams of crazily speeding bicyclists
were racing a course through
cordoned off streets. The big city
buzz was electrifying.
Ill return to Charlotte again,
perhaps for a girlfriends get-away,
NASCAR, a Panthers or Hornets
game, concerts or culture. A few

days in a big city of skyscrapers
and vitality is like a Red Bull for
the mind and Charlotte is only 3
hours away. In a cab after a long
night out that included Margaret
Cho at the Comedy Zone followed
by late night blues at the Double
Door, we were happily satiated by
our big-city experience.

Lemonade stand continues from cover
BY VIRAJ NAIK
FOR ISLAND EYE NEWS
n light of the tragic shootings that

transpired at the Emanuel AME Church
on Calhoun Street earlier this month,
the city of Charleston has been immersed in
grief. Although the events that took place on
June 17 were horrible, its great to know the
generosity that the human spirit, as well as
the younger generation, can provide.
One way in which islanders decided to give
back is through an impromptu lemonade
stand started by a group of children from
the Isle of Palms. The stand, thought up by
mother of two Rini Kosmos Hagerty, and run
primarily by kids from the ages of 5 to 18, was
started with the help of parents and locals
in the community and has since received an
outpour of overwhelming support.
Many people, including denizens of the
Isle Of Palms community, have offered to
pitch in with donations of $5, $10, and even
$100 bills. The island's Harris Teeter also
showed its support of the cause with the
donation of 500 cookies.
Weve had everyone from bikers to police
officers [make donations] Hagerty said.
Were so surprised at everyones generosity.
The stand offers free lemonade and
cookies and operates on donations, with
100 percent of proceeds going towards the
families of the victims of the AME shooting.
In just three days, the stands donations
have risen to over $1,500. After the stand
closes, nine separate checkseach written
out by the kids themselveswill be made
out and brought out to the AME church to
be given to the victims families.
Its a great way of giving back, Kennedy
Petit, a volunteer and senior at Wando High
School, said.
The vast success of the lemonade stand is
testament to positive aspects that can result

Remove Confederate flag

from statehouse grounds
BY SENATOR CHIP CAMPSEN
FOR ISLAND EYE NEWS
To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable because

God has forgiven the inexcusable in you.
~C.S. Lewis
unday
evening,
while
participating
in
the
Bridge to Peace event my
sister witnessed an act that
encapsulates
Charlestons
reaction to the brutal Emanuel
AME Church murders. While
15,000 held hands in unity
across the Ravenel Bridge, a
man stretched his hands toward
heaven and declared at the top of
his lungs, This is how we riot in
Charleston!
This man personifies why
we should be proud of how
Charleston has dealt with this
unspeakable tragedyas do

statements of forgiveness and
charity toward their loved ones
murderer. In human terms,
the families responses are
inexplicable. It is not until I reflect
upon the above quote by atheist
turned Christian philosopher,
C.S. Lewis, that it makes any
sense at all.
Their response is a Christian
response. It flows from the
gospels message of sin separating
us from a holy God, Christ
paying the penalty for these sins,
and offering reconciliation with
God. Having been forgiven of
much empowers the forgiven to
liberally forgive in kind.
When the debate leading up
to the removal of the confederate
flag from the capitol dome in
2000 erupted, I was one of only
two Republican members of the
General Assembly that supported
its removal. I did so for one
simple reason. It did not meet the
criterion flags must meet to fly
over a capitol. The timeless and
universal criterion for a flag to fly
atop a capitol is that it be the flag
of an existing government that
has jurisdiction over the people. I
was captive to that logic. The flag
failed the test, so I argued for its
removal on these grounds.
My
late
father,
George
Campsen, Jr., was in the General
Assembly when the flag was
placed over the dome in 1962. In
2000 he organized over 90 percent
of the surviving members of the
1962 General Assembly, along
with several former governors,
to sign a petition he drafted. It
indicated they placed the flag over
the dome to commemorate the
four-year centennial of the Civil
War and had simply neglected to
provide a take down date. Their
intention was never to fly the flag
indefinitely. They petitioned the
General Assembly to remove the
flag from the dome, which it did
later that year.
Syndicated columnist George

Will referred to these arguments
as the Solomonic solution to
the flag debate.
This history is relevant because
it constituted common ground to
remove the flag from the dome
in 2000. In light of Charlestons
reaction to the Emanuel AME
Church shootings, I suggest
common ground likewise exists
today for removal of the flag from
the statehouse grounds.
The common ground of which
I speak transcends and is more
powerful than issues of race and
heritage. It is yet another biblical
principle found in Romans 14:19,
pursue what makes for peace
and mutual upbuilding.
The witness of Emanuel AME
Church pursuing peace and
mutual upbuilding demonstrates
that love is greater than hate.
Congregants at St. Michaels, St.
Philips, First Baptist and other
Charleston churches followed
their lead when they literally
encircled the church Sunday
morning, bathing it in prayer
as the Emanuel congregation
courageously refused to permit
evil to keep them from worshiping.
Sunday night the Charleston
community demonstrated an
outpouring of unity when over
15,000 held hands across the
Ravenel Bridge. The unknown
man who declared, This is how
we riot in Charleston, and many
others, followed suit.
In responding to this tragedy
let us not focus upon what
outsiders say.
Let us focus
upon us, the relationships in our
communities and state. Let us
follow the examples set before
us. If the Confederate flag on
our statehouse grounds upsets
a significant number of citizens,
lets remove it in the name of
peace and mutual upbuilding.
Lets do this as a reciprocal act
of charity and grace extended
to the fallen, their families,
and the congregants of my
friend and colleague, Senator
Clementa
Pinckney.
They
have demonstrated inimitable
forgiveness, charity and grace
before God and a watching
world. Both in life and in death
they have shown us how to love,
forgive and pursue peace and
mutual upbuilding. It is now our
turn to follow their example.

A Windows upgrade, It's summertime and the

and virus definitions
redfish are jumping
BY BOB HOOPER
BY GEOFF BENNETT
FOR ISLAND EYE NEWS
f you are a Windows user, you might have noticed the recent addition
of a small icon on the lower left of your desktop on either Windows
7 or 8, it sort of looks like a flag or the Windows icon. If you click on
it, it wants you to sign up to "upgrade" to Windows 10 toward the end
of July as soon as it's available. Whoopee! Just want you want, right?
Well not so fast let's let that new super duper upgrade come out
for a bit and see what kind of bugs it might have. The "downgrade"
back to Windows 7/8 is touted as simple but rarely does it work out
that way. The upgrade will be free for a year so a couple of months will
not make a difference and might save you some grief and money.
One other note about the upgrade from 7, for some unknown reason
it will remove Solitaire, Minesweeper and Hearts. I don't know why but
there you are, makes you wonder sometimes.
I have not given out Malware (the name used for all types of crap
that "infects" your computer) definitions in a while so let's start with
what is the most commonly used term: a Virus. Although most say
this term to mean anything that infects their computer it is actually
just one type of malware.
1. Virus: A virus is a contagious program or code that attaches itself
to another piece of software, and then reproduces itself when that
software is run. Most often this is spread by sharing software or files
between computers.
2. Adware: The least dangerous and most lucrative Malware. Adware
displays ads on your computer.
3. Spyware: Spyware is software that spies on you, tracking your
Internet activities in order to send advertising (Adware) back to your
system.
4. Worm: A program that replicates itself and destroys data and files
on the computer. Worms work to eat the system operating files and
data files until the drive is empty.
5. Trojan: The most dangerous Malware. Trojans are written with
the purpose of discovering your financial information, taking over
your computers system resources, and in larger systems creating a
denial-of-service attack."
6. Denial-of-service attack: an attempt to make a machine or network
resource unavailable to those attempting to reach it. Example: AOL,
Yahoo or your business network becoming unavailable.
7. Rootkit: This one is likened to the burglar hiding in the attic,
waiting to take from you while you are not home. It is the hardest of all
Malware to detect and therefore to remove; many experts recommend
completely wiping your hard drive and reinstalling everything from
scratch. It is designed to permit the other information gathering
Malware to get the identity information from your computer without
you realizing anything is going on.
8. Backdoors: Backdoors are much the same as Trojans or worms,
except that they open a backdoor onto a computer, providing
a network connection for hackers or other Malware to enter or for
viruses or spam to be sent.
9. Keyloggers: Records everything you type on your PC in order to
glean your log-in names, passwords, and other sensitive information,
and send it on to the source of the keylogging program. Many times
keyloggers are used by corporations and parents to acquire computer
usage information from employees and children.
10. Rogue security software: This one deceives or misleads users.
It pretends to be a good program to remove Malware infections, but
all the while it is the Malware. Often it will turn off the real Anti-Virus
software. The next image shows the typical screen for this Malware
program, Antivirus 2010
11. Ransomware: If you see a screen that warns you that you have
been locked out of your computer until you pay for your cybercrimes.
Your system is severely infected with a form of Malware called
Ransomware. It is not a real notification from the FBI, but, rather an
infection of the system itself. Even if you pay to unlock the system, the
system is unlocked, but you are not free of it locking you out again.
12. Browser Hijacker: When your homepage changes to look even
just slightly different from usual, you may have been infected with
one form or another of a Browser Hijacker. This dangerous Malware
will redirect your normal search activity and give you the results the
developers want you to see. Its intention is to make money off your
web surfing. Using this homepage and not removing the Malware lets
the source developers capture your surfing interests. This is especially
dangerous when banking or shopping online. These homepages can
look harmless, but in every case they allow other more infectious
malware to infect your computer.

H E A R I N G L O S S M O R E P R E VA L E N T I N M E N , B U T S O L U T I O N S W O R K F O R A L L
BY DR. JENNIFER ESSE
FOR ISLAND EYE NEWS
hile
genetics,
head
injuries, illnesses, and
aging can all cause
hearing loss, noise damage is the
leading culprit. Although noiseinduced hearing loss (NIHL)
reaches all corners of the U.S.
population, of the 23 percent of
adults who already have some
hearing loss, 60 percent are men.
Why? Men often have noisier jobs
and tend to have louder hobbies
than women (think power tools
and engines).
"As we have made machines
and electronic devices more
powerful, the potential to cause
permanent damage has grown
tremendously," said Dr. Michael
Kilgard, Professor at the School
of Behavioral and Brain Sciences
at The University of Texas at
Dallas. According to research by
Kilgard and colleagues, prolonged
exposure to loud noise also
alters how the brain processes
speech, potentially increasing
the difficulty in distinguishing
speech sounds.
Inside the ear are small,
Dr. Jennifer Esse.
delicate hairs that help conduct

the noise that constitutes a large
part of your hearing. Injury to
these hair cells comes from
exposure sudden or prolonged
to loud noises. Once damaged,
the hair cells do not grow back,
leading to NIHL. Noise-induced
hearing
loss
often
occurs
gradually, and sufferers dont
realize its happening until a few
years down the road.
As a simple test to tell if your
hearing has already been affected,
think about how your ears react
to situations with loud noise. If
there is pain, a feeling of having
your ears temporarily blocked,
the need to shout in order to be
heard, or a temporary buzzing
or ringing, chances are you have
experienced some damage to
your hearing and should consult
an audiologist.
If you have not experienced
loss, help keep your hearing at
optimal levels and prevent NIHL
with these tips:
Dont max out the volume.
When listening to music on
your headphones, keep your
device below 80 percent of its
maximum volume. If you listen
on an iPhone, you can set a
system-wide volume limit. For
Android listeners, there are apps
available that can restrict volume
levels.
Take listening breaks.

Longer
periods
of
noise
exposure cause your hearing to
deteriorate faster. Step outside
at concerts or clubs when theyre
playing a song you dont like,
and limit earbud sessions to 90
minutes or less.
Step away from the source.
Earplugs and other devices
are the most effective way to
protect your hearing in loud
environments, such as concerts,
clubs or while working in noisy
situations. If you just cant bring
yourself to pop them in while
out in public, position yourself
towards the back of the venue
and away from the source of
noise.
Employing
preventive
measures and correcting hearing
loss with hearing aids and other
listening devices can go a long
way towards optimal hearing

he Beachlover's Bookclub will

be discussing 'The Housemaids
Daughter,' Saturday July 18,
10:30 a.m. at the Edgar Allan Poe
Branch Library. If you have any
questions about the club email
darlingc@ccpl.org.
Barbara Mutch's stunning first
novel tells a story of love and duty
colliding on the arid plains of
Apartheid-era South Africa. When
Cathleen Harrington leaves her
home in Ireland in 1919 to travel
to South Africa, she knows that
she does not love the man she is
to marry thereher fianc Edward,
whom she has not seen for five
years. Isolated and estranged in
a small town in the harsh Karoo
desert, her only real companions
are her diary and her housemaid,
and later the housemaid's daughter,
Ada. When Ada is born, Cathleen
recognizes in her someone she can
love and respond to in a way that she
cannot with her own family. Under
Cathleens tutelage, Ada grows

into an accomplished pianist and
a reader who cannot resist turning
the pages of the diary, discovering
the secrets Cathleen sought to hide.
As they grow closer, Ada sees new
possibilities in front of hera new
horizon. But in one night, everything
changes, and Cathleen comes home
from a trip to find that Ada has
disappeared, scorned by her own
community. Cathleen must make
a choice: should she conform to
society, or search for the girl who
has become closer to her than her
own daughter?
Set against the backdrop of a
beautiful, yet divided land, 'The
Housemaid's Daughter' is a startling
and thought-provoking novel that
intricately portrays the drama and
heartbreak of two women who rise
above cruelty to find love, hope, and
redemption.
