n Sunday, Nov. 11 activities will be held
on Sullivan’s Island to commemorate
the centennial anniversary of the end
of World War I. At the 11th hour, of the 11th
day, of the 11th month of 1918, an armistice
was signed in Compiegne, France to bring an
end to World War I. The annual remembrance
of this day was once called Armistice Day and
is what we now know as Veteran’s Day. In
2013, an act of Congress created The United
States World War I Centennial Commission
to ensure that appropriate commemorations
would be held throughout the centennial.
Commemoration activities on Sullivan’s
Island will include: Alvin collects a sample of Lophelia pertusa from an extensive mound of both dead and live coral.
• 9 a.m. Actors portraying “Doughboys” will IMAGE COPYRIGHT WOODS HOLE OCEANOGRAPHIC INSTITUTION

names and honors the two Sullivan’s

Islanders who died in “The Great War.”
The ceremony will include the laying of
a wreath, a short historical program,
prayers and the playing of taps.
• 11 a.m. the bells of Stella Maris and
The Church of the Holy Cross Episcopal
Church will toll as part of the Bells of

Following the ceremony, actors will be at
Fort Moultrie to interpret “the war to end all
wars.” All events are free and open to the
public.
Fort Moultrie is located at 1214 Middle St.,
Sullivan’s Island. The site is administered
by the National Park Service as a unit of Fort
Sumter National Monument. Fort Moultrie
represents the entire history of static seacoast
defense in the United States, from the
American Revolution to the end of World War
II. The site is open daily from 9 a.m. -5 p.m.
and includes a visitor center with museum
exhibits and orientation film.

r. Sandra Brooke earned her
Ph.D. in Oceanography from the
University of Southampton’s National
Oceanography Centre, UK in 2002. Her
current assignment as Associate Research
Faculty at Florida State University has
her working with a mosaic of government
agencies including; the Bureau of Ocean
Energy Management, the National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration, and the
United States Geological Survey. Brooke’s
spot on the team that discovered a deep
water coral reef 160 miles off SC’s coast
made her the perfect speaker at an event at
the College of Charleston Oct. 15, curated by
CofC and the SC Small Business Chamber of
Commerce.
“The Chamber has been actively fighting
this since 2015. Tourism is, by far, the
single biggest industry in the state, and
not something we want to risk,” said Frank
Knapp, President and CEO of the SCBCC.
Knapp thinks discovery of the fragile eco-
system is another link a long chain of
reasons to prohibit offshore drilling along
the east coast. Knapp had just finished his
thought when Jimmy Carroll, mayor of Isle
of Palms strode in, agreeing and dovetailing
nicely with Knapp’s assessment.
“… Tourism brings $19 billion a year to
SC,” said Carroll. He continued by saying
opposition to offshore drilling is one of the
reasons he endorsed Joe Cunningham (SC-
1) for congress. “We’re concerned about the
environment more than anything else. Our
coast should be above politics all the time,”
said the mayor in defense of his constituents’
interests.
Knapp made a point of opening the meeting
with a who’s who list of additional sponsors
including; “Mayor John Tecklenburg

he gavel fell at the very tick of 6 p.m. for the Oct. 23, Isle of Palms
City Council meeting. Council chambers were only half full of
attendees in contrast to last month’s storm of participation.
Mayor Jimmy Carroll welcomed everyone and quickly dispatched
parliamentary obligations. There were no comments from the gallery/
residents, so Council got straight to work.
Chris Bullock was sworn in as the newest member of the IOP
Fire Department. Bullock comes to IOP by way of the St. Johns Fire
District on Johns Island. He told the Mayor he sees IOP as the place
he wants to retire to and consequently, his welcome to the family was
all the warmer.

Councilmember Randy Bell opened with a recap of the Ways and
Means Committee meeting held earlier in October. IOP is currently
in the first quarter of FY19 with a 25% target of annual revenues.
Although the City is at 23% of budget, it duplicates the same period
last year, and revenues will be buoyed as residents respond to
property tax bills sent at month’s open.
The advantage of having all councilmembers also serve on the
Ways and Means Committee is quick approval of items on IOPCC’s
agenda. However, decisions made outside public view fly in the face
of IOP’s pledge of transparency. Protracted debate of five action items
revealed the decision making process, which produced unanimous
approvals of;
1. A survey and appraisal of 1100 Palm Blvd., at the owner’s expense,
that will allow the conveyance of a 550-foot tract adjacent to the
property, and grant clear title to the current owner.
2. A contract with South East Sports & Play to replace the floor at
the City’s recreation center with a cushy wood-like/waterproof
surface. Although the contract is for $62,000, the City’s expense
is offset by a SC Parks and Recreation Development Fund grant
of $13,000.
3. A 3-year contract to NOVAtime for bio-metric time and attendance
software and hardware valued at $28,000.
4. $51,000 for additional surveys of in-flight utility work on Phase
II of the City’s drainage project.
5. Approval of $70,000 resulting from a change order after depth

adjustments to drainage along Palm Blvd. to Wild Dunes, and
to the lines on 46th, 49th, 51st and 52nd Aves. associated with
Phase II.
Councilmember Susan Hill Smith gave a lengthy report of the Public
Safety Committee’s activities. The committee discussed IOP being
listed in the credits of the National Geographic movie filmed after the
committee meeting, additional parking for the handicapped at the
beach, the purchase of additional beach wheelchairs, an increase in
beach parking activity, golf carts on the beach, a reduction in beach
parking revenues, downed power lines and coyotes, reported Smith.
However, it was Smith’s report on the city’s dog ordinance, which
garnered the most attention.
Ordinance 2018-16 was on the agenda for a vote of Council later
in the meeting. The measure requires all dogs to have a written
permit from the City and tag (at a cost of $5 for residents and $10
for non-residents) to serve as proof of rabies inoculation. Sounds
simple enough, but enforcement using different colored collars and
etc. managed to confuse most of Council last month, and October
was no different.
No sooner had Smith finished her report than councilmember
Jimmy Ward moved to skip ahead in the agenda and vote on the
measure while it was fresh in everyone’s mind. The motion was
accepted, the vote was taken, and the measure failed to pass by what
looked like a unanimous vote.
Councilmember Carol Rice began with a recap of the Public Works
Committee meeting. Garbage collections and debris removal were flat
in October as a result of the shut-down for Florence. The hurricane
still had the department quite busy however, trash cans and recycle
bins were removed from the beach in advance of the storm and
returned when the threat abated, she said. Rice added drainage
mitigation measures are expected to be complete in mid-December,
despite their unpredictability and complexity.
Highlighting the point, Rice said drainage issues in the area around
267 Forest Trail revealed no tie-in to existing systems, and might
require professional assessment.
She concluded her report by saying the committee was working
on an education program on the importance of open ditches, and
securing portable bathrooms during storms. Rice also took Council’s
temperature for strengthening IOP’s ban on plastic to be consistent
with stronger versions recently passed in Mount Pleasant and on
Sullivan’s Island.
Councilmember Ryan Buckhannon said the Recreation Committee
had 70 employees participate in the City’s Wellness Fair, about 800
participants in the IOP Run/Walk for The Child, and successful
execution of the Ghostly Tide Tales at the beach. IOP is looking forward
to holding its 7th Annual Holiday Street Festival scheduled for Dec.
1 from 2-7 p.m., Buckhannon said. Items for future consideration
include; surfing lessons being offered through the City, better WiFi
at the recreation center, and the idea of resurfacing two of the city’s
tennis courts since the bid to replace them came in higher than
expected.
Councilmember Sandy Ferencz gushed praise for the employee

appreciation event held earlier in October. The
extravaganza was well run, the food was great and
though it took a while for people to adjust to a party
on city property, everyone loosened up and had a
great time, she said.
Ferencz said delays in getting information on
candidates for City Administrator, Chief of Police,
and Public Works Assistant had been rectified by
recruiting firm The Mercer Group, and that the
pace of hiring would pick up in the near term.
Ferencz said the committee had approved updates
to the city’s 52 page employee handbook highlighted
by a zero tolerance policy for harassment, bullying,
and violence statement added, among other items.
There was no discussion after the move to approve,
and the new guide was approved unanimously.
She concluded her presentation by recognizing
September Safety Sweepstakes winners; Nicole
Morris, Thomas Moline, James Giddens, Tony
Sease.
The Real Property Committee has some
real issues, according to councilmember Bell.
Unlicensed businesses operating out of the
marina may be insured at a lower level than their
counterparts, and plans for additional parking
would require review (to garage or not to garage).
He mentioned both items as candidates for the
upcoming agenda’s of both the City and the Real
Property Committee.

letter to the editor
Town Council likes winner take all
Dear Editor,
For years Sullivan's Island Town Council has
vigorously defended the accreted land including
their latest “success” at the State Supreme Court
regarding the Town’s right to control the land. Now
that it has clarified that the Town controls the
land, how about leading with compassion instead
of continuing to drive conflict and complexity?
There should really be three objectives of Council:
1. Protect the island’s accreted land, 2. Provide the
Front Beach homeowners the fire/wildlife hazard
protection they need, and 3. Protect the views their
assessed property tax values reflect. It seems that
only the first objective has received any real focus.
Basic facts from the last committee on the
transition zone I attended:
• Chief Stith asked years ago for a 100 ft.
transition zone that was clear-cut to allow for fire
fighting. He reiterated this at the meeting and
continues to feel that is best for the island. I guess
38 years of service to the island gets “trumped” by
a consultant and the all or nothing views of some.
• Of the 82 or so Front Beach properties around
40 have manipulated their version of a transition
zone as a result of historical maintenance practices.
As a result we have some front beach homeowners
with what is at least a 100 ft. transition zone that
is basically clear-cut. Let those remaining have the

IOP staff member Douglas Carr gave a presentation Publisher of the

said he wanted to foreshadow a couple of items and The Island Connection
currently percolating through City offices including
a recommendation for the City’s drainage outfalls.
The City solicited proposals to update the drainage
along 31st, 36th, and 41st Sts. Two firms were

those “start from scratch” recommendations will be

• No one argues the accreted land should not be Mimi Wood
protected. However, that doesn’t preclude the land staff writers
from being responsibly managed so that the front
beach properties could have ocean views in such a
way to preserve the integrity of the accreted land. •
To think otherwise is being obstreperous.
I urge Council to revisit this entire subject
and create a balance so that the front beach CONTRIBUTORS
homeowners can have view corridors and provide
them a minimum of 100 ft. of clear-cut protection.

“… Brooke (FSU) studies deep-sea coral ecology and is one
of the team of scientists working on the federally funded ‘Deep
Search’ project. This team is tasked with exploration and research
of sensitive ecosystems, such as deep-sea corals, in areas that are
open to future energy activity [offshore drilling and seismic testing]
off the southeastern US [coast]. Information from ‘Deep Search’ will
help inform management of the valuable habitats,” said Knapp before
leaving Brooke alone at the podium.
Brooke didn’t dodge the expense of mapping the ocean floor; it’s
expensive, she confided. Surface vessels go on months long missions,
using sonar to ping the bottom until an image suggests the presence
of coral. Identified areas of interest are further investigated by
unmanned vehicles, photos and samples are taken, and in some rare
cases, manned vehicles can be used.
The most interesting area at the moment and the location of the
latest discovery is just beyond the ‘Blake Escarpment,’ explained
Brooke. The continental shelf gradually slopes away from SC shores
before dipping approximately 1,600 feet to the Blake Plateau. The
plateau itself then slopes away to a depth of nearly 3,000 feet to the
Blake Escarpment where the depth plummets to the sea basin. Voila;
160 miles due East is Brooke’s latest find.
Beautiful photos showing miles of multi-colored corals made Brooke’s
fascination with the topic easy to understand, though she lamented
some of the pictures included plastic shopping bags. “Animals in the
cnidarian classes Anthozoa and Hydrozoa that produce either calcium
carbonate (aragonitic or calcitic) secretions resulting in a continuous
skeleton or as numerous, usually microscopic, individual sclerites, or
that have a black, horn-like, proteinaceous axis,” said Brooke citing
Dr. Stephen Cairns (2007). She talked about three different “orders”
of corals each with dozens of “families” and thousands of “species.”
The dark and cold of deep-water they live in means the corals are
slow to develop, slower to recover when disturbed, and are affected
by human activity.
Drag and trawl fishing decimate the bottom where corals grow, and
mining activities destroy habitat and many precious corals. Hundreds
to thousands-year-old corals are harvested for jewelry and curios,
and climate change is having a negative impact Brooke said before
adding “oil sticks to coral.” However, the scientist stopped well short
of hoisting a picket sign and boycotting fossil fuels. The bottom line
seems to be: We’re studying the corals because we don’t know all the
answers and that’s why ongoing study is important, (e.g. they didn’t
even know the SC field was there until July of this year, after all).
The Department of Natural Resources has established some areas
where fishing/mining are discouraged, and seismic testing does affect
corals, she said, but how, and how much has yet to be determined.
“It’s more than simple matter of drawing lines on a map. To make a
recommendation, we have to be able to;
1. Describe the oceanographic, geological, geochemical, and
acoustic conditions of the study area
2. Explore and study the biological communities of each habitat
3. Examine their sensitivity to natural and human disturbances
and
4. Predict the distribution of sensitive habitats in the region”

Veterans were the "guests of honor" at the event, as Veterans

having water access for their programs.
As "Americanism" (i.e. Patriotism) is one of the basic tenets of the

water temperature continues to drop, Fall is one my favorite times of year,
inshore fish will gorge and try to pack on as especially for fishing. Make sure to take some
many pounds as they can before the long time to get out on the water with friends and
winter. This feeding frenzy translates into family and take advantage of some of the
awesome fishing. best fishing of the year.
The next few weeks will provide anglers
with outstanding fishing and is the best time
to get on the water. Look for trout staging
to ambush prey around creek mouths and
oyster bars. D.O.A. shrimp under popping
corks can be a very effective way to catch
trout during this pattern. Another effective
lure is a Zman Finesse jig head paired with a
Zman 4” Jerk Shad in a variety of contrasting
colors such as bad shad. Fishing these baits
slightly up current with a twitch and pause
method will produce great results. Fishing
live bait such as minnows and shrimp will
provide plenty of action as well and is a great
way to get younger fisherman into the sport.
On a recent trip to the jetties with my
nephew, live shrimp kept the bite going
strong and we caught a wide variety of
species such as redfish, trout, sheepshead,
and black drum.
Fly fishing can also be a fun way to catch
fish this fall. Clouser minnows and other
baitfish patterns will work well for trout. As
the water continues to cool down, redfish will
group into large schools and can be caught
on the fly with crab and shrimp imitations, (above) Aaron Kelley of The Charleston Angler. (right)

riends gathered recently in support
of Fresh Future Farm, whose shelves
were depleted after last month’s
double hurricane shut down.
Established in late 2014, Fresh Future
Farm sows healthy food to harvest
community and independence. Located on
Success St. in North Charleston, The Farm
leverages unused city assets to create food
and job opportunities that will transform
the current food desert into a more self-
11
reliant and robust community.
The last grocery store in the area closed in
2005 and left the families in this low wealth
area unable to purchase healthy fruits and
vegetables as well as basic grocery items.
In this short time they have transformed
two city lots into fresh fruit trees and
bushes, rows of seasonal vegetables, bee
hives and the most elaborate chicken coup
ever seen, made of earthen mud, hay, wire
and grape vine. Within the garden is a
unique outdoor space used for nutritional
and garden classes for school children, the
neighborhood, and the public.
It has been amazing to watch the farm
grow and anyone who finds themselves
passing through the Chircora-Cherokee
neighborhood just off Rivers Ave. should
stop and take in this beautiful productive
space. Buy some fresh eggs and fresh
produce while you are there.
A special thank you goes out to Barrier
Island Eco Tours and Captain Robert
Hopkins for embracing the farm and our
need to support and help others. Together
$700 was raised to help restock the shelves.

Papi's continues from page 13
Papi’s open at 1012 Ocean Blvd. in IOP.
‘Do what you want,’ recalls Eric
Evaul, a partner and Papi’s
General Manager.
“Brett pulled us all in to fill
different roles,” Evaul continues.
“His best friend is Wyatt Durrette,”
a singer/songwriter whose catchy
tune “Toes” helped put the Zac
Brown on the map. As a matter of
fact, lyrics to the song adorn the
risers of the stairs ascending to
Papi’s second floor.
Durette frequents Papi’s,
when he’s not busy with his
other restaurant, in Atlanta, or
traveling with The Zac Brown
Band. And although the bright,
vintage-Mexican, beachy decor of
Papi’s was “a collaborative effort
of all the partners,” states Evaul,
“Wyatt and his wife Kelly had the
biggest part in it.”
Another partner, and tie to Zac
Brown, comes in the form of Papi’s
executive chef, Rusty Hamlin.
Hamlin, a graduate of the Culinary
Arts Institute of Lousiana, started
his career in his native Baton
Rouge. When he met Brown a fast
friendship formed; Hamlin has
been traveling with and cooking
for the band for almost a decade.
Hamlin developed Papi’s menu
and recipes, and is on site when
not involved in his myriad of other
activities.
“I’d be remiss not to mention
our silent partner, Malcom
Burgis,” notes Evaul. Burgis
is the longtime owner of The
Windjammer. More than a
bar and entertainment venue,
The Windjammer is a veritable
institution on Front Beach.
Papi’s is open daily from 4 p.m.
until 10 p.m. “Most weekends we
are on wait after 6 p.m.,” states
Evaul. “Weekdays are still a bit
‘hit or miss;’ some days we’re
jammed while others not so
much. We’re really trying to dial
in to the locals,” he elaborates,
“we are trying to bring a new
option to the island…good food,
and a place to hang out.”
That new option includes an
ocean view from Papi’s rooftop
bar, rivaled in beauty by the
gorgeous hand-crafted cocktails;
almost too pretty to drink.
(Keyword: almost.) Plans for an
event space on the second floor,
adjacent to the rooftop bar, are
just about final.
“Our intent is to accommodate
up to 50 guests,” in the nearly-
completed Arriba Room, “for
everything from corporate holiday
gatherings to private birthday
celebrations to rehearsal dinners
to Superbowl parties,” explains
Evaul. “We have a mini-kitchen up
there, and can provide a private
chef. We already have about half
a dozen events booked,” he states.
“Down the road, we foresee the
second floor space being utilized
for entertainment. Given our
connection to The Windjammer,
we could host pre-show dinners
and intimate acoustical sets prior
to the main Windjammer event;
kind of like a ‘VIP’ experience,”
Evaul envisions.
Judging from chatter on local
social media, Papi’s is a welcome
addition to Isle of Palms. Better
hurry and claim your status as a
regular before it’s too late.

Papi’s Allergy Free Menu, may be

FINANCIAL FOCUS
Key to consistent
investing? Paying
yourself first
BY DIMI MATOUCHEV
THE ISLAND EYE NEWS
C
onsistency is a key
ingredient of success in
many activities, including
investing. And one technique
that can help you become a more
consistent investor is paying
yourself first.
Many people have the best
of intentions when it comes
to investing. They know how
important is it to put money away
for long-term goals, especially the
goal of a comfortable retirement.
Yet they may only invest
sporadically. Why? Because they
wait until they’ve taken care of all
the bills – mortgage, utilities, car
payments and so on – before they
feel comfortable enough to write
a check for their investments.
And by the time they reach that
point, they might even decide
there’s something more fun to do
with what’s left of their money.
How can you avoid falling
into this habit of intermittent
investing? By paying yourself
first. Each month, have your
bank move money from your
checking or savings account
into the investments of your
choice. By taking this hassle-
free approach, rather than
counting on your ability to send
a check, you can help ensure you
actually do contribute to your
investments, month after month.
By moving the money
automatically, you probably
won’t miss it, and, like most
people who follow this technique,
you will find ways to economize,
as needed, to make up for
whatever you’re investing.
You already may be doing
something quite similar if you
have a 401(k) or other retirement
plan at work. You choose a
percentage of your earnings to
go into your plan, and the money
15
is taken out of your paycheck.
(And if you’re fortunate, your
employer will match some of
your contributions, too.)
But even if you do have a
401(k), you’re probably also
eligible to contribute to an IRA,
which is a great vehicle for your
pay-yourself-first strategy. You
can put in up to $5,500 per year
to a traditional or Roth IRA (or
$6,500 if you’re 50 or older), so,
if you are able to “max out” for
the year, you could simply divide
$5,500 or $6,500 by 12 and
have either $458 or $541 moved
from your savings or checking
account each month into your
IRA. Of course, you don’t have to
put in the full $5,500 or $6,500
each year, although some IRAs
do require minimum amounts to
at least open the account.
You might think such modest
amounts won’t add up to a lot,
but after a few years, you could
be surprised at how much you’ve
accumulated. Plus, you may not
always be limited to contributing
relatively small sums, because
as your career advances,
your earnings may increase
significantly, allowing you to
boost your IRA contributions
continually.
In any case, here’s the key
point: When you invest, it’s all
right to start small, as long as
you keep at it. And the best way
to ensure you continue investing
regularly is to pay yourself first.
If you do it long enough, it will
become routine and it will be one
habit you won’t want to break.
