r Island Neighbors,hope you and your familieshaving a very happy holidayon. By the time this appearsukkah will have ended, andstmas will be right aroundcorner. And then there’s New’s Day.

EAT ISLAND GIFT IDEA!

hich would you rather see inr Christmas stocking?A lump of coalA brickIf those are my only two

ces, I guess I haven’t beengood this year.

K, “C” seems most likely atblush. However, “B” (for

k) could actually mean youe been very good… IF it’s aivan’s Island Town Hall Brick!s you’ve no doubt noticed,struction of our long-awaitedTown Hall is well underway.will be the rst Sullivan’s

nd Town Hall ever designedthat purpose from its

nning. Our prior Town Halls

served commendably but werere-purposed buildings designedoriginally for other uses.

We are pinching every pennyavailable, while ensuring thatthe nished product is one thatwill provide our residents withefcient service and communitypride for years to come. The

project is being ably managedon the Town side by TownAdministrator Andy Benke andMayor Pro Tem Chauncey Clark,who is generously devotinghis time and the skills earnedfrom a career in constructionmanagement.

Although we are controllingtaxpayer costs wherever possible,we know that our citizens willvalue some grace notes thatwill further the sense of prideand ownership they feel in thisimportant addition to the centerof our Town (Stith Park, Fireand Rescue Station, Post Ofce,commercial district).

For example, the hardscapesurrounding the re-installedagpole and adjacent areas. Wewould prefer this not be mundaneconcrete, and we think that manyof our residents agree. So we havea plan to cover that ground withbricks inscribed with the namesof residents, their friends and

families (living or passed), andother folks who love the Island.

The plan: Buy Your Brick! Youcan buy a brick with the name of your choice inscribed on it, for thebargain price of just $150 for a4" x 8" brick, or $350 for an8" x 8". On the 4" x 8" you canget three lines with about 18

characters per line, more onthe big one. Your purchase willsupport this and other aspectsof the Town Hall landscaping.Every time you walk, run, bikeor drive past the site you will beable to enjoy the fruits of yourcontribution. And those of uswho many years ago bought KingStreet bricks will appreciate beingable to check out our Town Hallbricks without dodging trafc.

With Christmas coming, thetime is perfect for showing yourfamily and friends how much youlove them, and the Island, witha Town Hall brick. (Bricks won’tarrive till spring, but your receiptwill be a holiday gift that is reallyeasy to wrap now, and you get toclaim credit all over again whenthe brick arrives and you can geta picture of it!)

To order a brick visit the Townwebsite at www.sullivansisland-sc.com and follow the link to“Bricksrus”. The process issimple, easy and fast.

Credit for this great idea goesto Cheryl and Chauncey Clarkand Councilmember BachmanSmith.

LETTERs TO THE EDITOR

A Perfect Storm

Dear Editor,Earlier this Fall, Hurricane Joaquin, a powerful Category 4 storm,

hovered off South Carolina’s coast, adding inches more rain to a1,000-year rainfall that left death and destruction in its wake hereand in the midlands. Had Joaquin made landfall, it could have beencatastrophic. If offshore oil rigs and coastal infrastructure were addedto the equation, it would have been a “perfect storm.”

Hurricanes and oil rigs don’t mix. In 2004 Hurricane Ivan triggeredan underwater landslide 10 miles off Louisiana’s coast, toppling Taylor Energy’s platform and burying 28 wells that continue to leakoil to this day.

In 2005, Category 5 Hurricane Katrina caused the worst U.S. oilspill since the 1989 Exxon Valdez tanker spill in Alaska. The one-twopunch of Hurricane Katrina, then Rita a month later, destroyed 113oil platforms, damaged 52, and set 19 adrift in the Gulf of Mexico.

Four hundred fty seven supply pipelines were damaged ordestroyed, and nine onshore facilities were breached, spilling anestimated eight million gallons of oil throughout the Gulf region. Thetwo hurricanes caused 540 separate oil spills.

Who would support an enterprise that could cause billions of dollarsin damage, put lives at risk, and decimate our pristine coastline onwhich South Carolina’s tourism industry depends?

Gov. Nikki Haley recently took swift, decisive action to protect hercitizens from life-threatening oods and storms. Lives were saved byher warning, “Turn around. Don’t drown.”

Our governor must strive to protect the health and wellbeing ofcitizens and shores from both hurricanes and oil spills.

Hurricanes are inevitable acts of nature. Oil spills are anthropogenic,resulting from acts of human beings on nature. We cannot controlthe forces of nature.

However, our governor can prevent the dark tide of oil fromdestroying our lives and shores by simply saying, “No. It’s not worththe risk.”

Fire Risk on Sullivan’s

Dear EditorIt’s interesting that Jennifer Tuohy led her article on Drake

Carroll’s presentation to Sullivan’s Island Town Council aboutre risk to homes adjacent to the accreted land with Carroll’sstatement, “It would take a perfect storm to have a re onSullivan’s Island.” I don’t recall the re expert saying this.What I do recall is Carroll’s referencing the horric MyrtleBeach re of 2009, which took some 70 homes, and eventuallyburned an area ten times that of Sullivan’s Island, as “thatkind of perfect storm.”

Drake Carroll tried very hard not to scare residents withthe potential for wildre he saw in the accreted land myrtlethickets, but it was clear that he believed the best action here

would be to get rid of them. He seemed to prefer herbicide, butalso recommended the kind of machinery that could easily dothe job. Thank you Mr. Carroll for caring about re preventionon Sullivan’s Island, and pointing out how best to do it.

Bing GuckenbergerSullivan’s Island

EDITOR’S NOTE: Drake Carroll’s quote, “It would take aperfect storm to have a re on Sullivan’s Island” was madeduring an interview with Island Eye News following the publicmeeting. It was published in the 18th paragraph of an articleprinted in the Dec. 4, 2015 edition.

complaints from residents about the number of cars parkedin front homes during the summer months, will restrictpublic parking to just the immediate beach parking areasfrom May through September.

On Dec. 10, Representatives Mark Sanford (R-SC) andBobby Scott (D-VA) joined together in sending a lettersigned by 31 members of the House to the Bureau

of Ocean Energy Management. It requested a halt to thepermitting and review process for potential seismic testingin the Atlantic Ocean. Specically, the letter asks the BOEMto prepare a new environmental review of proposed testingthat takes into account the full extent of the impacts —ranging from economic to ecological — caused by seismicairgun testing.

“The current basis for issuing seismic testing permitsis incomplete,” said Rep. Sanford. “It does not take into

account the long-term effects that seismic testing willhave on marine life or the impact on the economy dueto industrialization of the coast. Accordingly, we don’tthink testing that could profoundly affect our coastalcommunities should be allowed to proceed based on aninsufcient study.”

“Over 85 cities and counties along the Atlantic coast havespoken out against seismic testing or offshore drilling, butcurrent protocols don’t allow them access to the testing datato determine whether the risks of seismic testing outweighthe potential benets from offshore drilling.”

Recently Facebook did someupdates in both the mobileand desktop programs. So

you say what does that have todo with me?

Well, the bottom line is that your “privacy” settings havechanged and some new choiceshave been added. Facebookalso set some “settings” backto default, which is “everyone”and allows Facebook to use yourdata to target ads to you and letsearch engines like Google use your Facebook prole to do thesame.

So again it’s time to checkthose settings! We can start with your mobile device, either phoneor tablet. You want to open theFacebook app and either on theupper right or lower right youwill see three to four horizontallines, tap or “click” on them. Itwill take you to a list, scroll downtil you see Settings and look forAccount Settings. This will be thesame place you will be looking on your desktop/laptop.

Tap/click on Account Settingsand the third option should be“Privacy,” which is where we

want to make the changes. Firstup is who can see future posts…remember that “public” is thesame as “everyone” for this andmeans just that, anyone in theworld can see it. I would suggestnever using public or everyoneunless your Facebook page is abusiness page.

Next is a kind of strange one,they state something aboutlimiting the audience for posts you've shared, yet when you tapto get to the next screen it's aboutlimiting access to “old posts.”Regardless of what it is, I suggest you choose “Limit.” What youare doing is not allowing olderposts to be seen forever, so thatfunny post from 2010 (that’s not

so funny in 2015) does not getshared today.

Then there’s the Friendsrequest… have you received thatrequest from someone you havenever heard of or better yet fromsomeone with a picture that you have to block right awayfor a myriad of reasons? Thisone seems to be the one thatFacebook defaults to everyonewith some of its updates, whichas I said earlier means everyone. The best you can do is Friends ofFriends and that will help.

The last three are about how

someone look you up… and how you can limit what Facebookallows other programs to use. The rst is by your email address.Your choices are everyone,friends of friends and friends.Second is by your phone numberwith the same choices, withboth I would suggest somethingother than everyone. Finally isallowing search engines outsideof Facebook to “link” to yourprole, here your choice is either you do or don't. Personally Idon't want Google (or hundredsof other search engines) to use

a Facebook prole as a tool forpeople to look for me. This is a lot of stuff to go

through, but it will help to keep you more private on the Internet.Remember that at least everycouple of months you should re-check these settings as Facebookdoes like to make these changesevery now and then. Onenal note, once you make thechanges on one platform (mobileor desktop) it carries over to allother platforms.

As always if you have questionsor need help you can call or email

me, Rent A Bob at 843.822.7794or email at [email protected].

Poe Library Re-Opens

Edgar Allan Poe/Sullivan’s Island Libraryholds its next book club meeting to discuss“The Boston Girl” by Anita Diamant at

10:30 a.m. on Saturday, Jan. 16. The publicis welcome to attend and enjoy conversation,coffee and treats.

“The Boston Girl” is an unforgettable

coming-of-age novel about family ties andvalues, friendship and feminism told throughthe eyes of a young Jewish woman growing upin Boston in the early twentieth century.

Addie Baum was born in 1900 to immigrant parents whowere unprepared for and suspicious of America and its effect ontheir three daughters. Growing up in the North End, then a teemingmulticultural neighborhood, Addie’s intelligence and curiosity takeher to a world her parents can’t imagine - a world of short skirts,movies, celebrity culture and new opportunities for women. Addiewants to nish high school and dreams of going to college. She wantsa career and to nd true love.

Years later, Addie is asked by her 22-year-old granddaughter“How did you get to be the woman you are today?” She begins in1915, the year she found her voice and made friends who would helpshape the course of her life. From the one-room tenement apartment

she shared with her parents and two sisters, to the library groupfor girls she joins at a neighborhood settlement house, to her rst,disastrous love affair, Addie recalls her adventures with compassionfor the naïve girl she was and a wicked sense of humor.

Written with the same attention to historical detail and emotionalresonance that made Anita Diamant’s previous novels bestsellers,“The Boston Girl” is a moving portrait of one woman’s complicated lifein twentieth-century America, and a fascinating look at a generationof women nding their places in a changing world.

Stop by the library to check out the book prior to the discussion.Email Connie Darling at [email protected] for book discussionquestions. The Edgar Allan Poe/Sullivan’s Island Library, 1921 I’OnAvenue, Sullivan’s Island,. For more information, call 843.883.3914.
