Choosing a Real for Success The Grass Really

Estate Company?
No problem!
By Linda S. Hopkins
When it comes to the most valuable
transaction you may ever complete—the
buying or selling of a home—choosing a
real estate company is no small matter.
The difference between hiring a great real
estate company and a not-so-great real
estate company can be a difference of tens
of thousands of dollars or more.
What distinguishes one sales company
from another? At Dunes Marketing Group,
qualities such as experience, performance,
trust and commitment come to mind.
Experience & Performance
With over 5 billion dollars in sales, Dunes
Marketing Group is consistently ranked
one of the top three sales companies in
the Lowcountry. Starting out as exclusive
agents for new communities like Palmetto
Dunes, Leamington and Shelter Cove, they
have evolved into a full-service general
brokerage company with five locations and
almost 100 professional, licensed agents.
Over the past 30 years, Dunes Marketing
Group has built a stellar reputation. It all
started with a vision to become a top-notch
sales company featuring the best agents in the
business. DMG has recruited many smart,
talented and seasoned real estate professionals
over the years who have a special knack for
making homeownership dreams come true
for tens of thousands of customers.
According to Bill Baldwin, director of
marketing and sales, more than 60 percent
of all properties listed by their agents are
also sold by their agents. That’s no surprise

a bad experience with security, maintenance
or even an individual store owner or shop
representative, it affects the marketing
investment we all have made.”
The main message
While Palmetto Dunes has been providing
guest experiences for the past 30 years,
Kozemchak and her team work constantly
to improve upon it. Over the past three years,
the resort has shifted its brand development
and developed key messages about what
it stands for. “We’re a resort that has more
amenities and more activities than any other
resort in the Southeast,” said Kozemchak,
citing their “Play More. Do More. Get More.”
ad campaign. “We have a built-in nucleus
of activities within our resort. People can
come here, park the car, and not have to
drive all week long,” she said, referring to
the close proximity of amenities and free
Dunes Buggy transportation. “Look at the
levels of rankings and the montage of awards
that helps substantiate the experience visitors
are going to get. We are a different kind of
experience than they can get anywhere else.”
Getting the word out
In today’s world of lightning speed
communications, advanced data collection
and sophisticated tracking methods,
the resort has shifted toward electronic
marketing with a more targeted focus. “In
the past, a lot of the marketing was focused
in the market. If people were coming, we
were only talking to them after they got
here. Now, we’ve made a huge shift to out of
market. It’s really appropriate, especially the
way the times are right now,” she explained.
“As we look at our database to see where
people are coming from, we’ve seen great
success out of targeted ads and public
relations efforts in cities and states from
Maine down to Florida—everything east
of the Mississippi,” she said. Surprisingly,
the resort is also seeing more customers
from the Midwestern and western states,
including Texas and California.
According to Kozemchak, the resort’s
Web site has been a huge component in
marketing its brand. In 2008, E-site Market­
ing, a global Internet marketing company
providing strategic e-business solutions to
the hospitality industry, redesigned the
Palmetto Dunes Web site and promptly won
the prestigious Silver Adrian Award, which
annually attracts over 1,800 entries from 52
countries around the world.
Since the launch of the freshly renovated
design, Palmetto Dunes has increased
Web site traffic by 37 percent, due in large
part to both the new design and strategic
search engine optimization. The site now
receives an average of 40,000 visits per
month and is growing.
Specially-geared promotions featuring
golf, tennis, romance and seasonal resort
packages are now part of the resort’s most
successful online marketing techniques. The
resort also e-mails special e-Blast promotions
to thousands of repeat visitors and prospective
guests each month, keeping them abreast of
the latest offers at Palmetto Dunes.
Recent Web site enhancements include
live web cams featuring the Robert Trent
Jones Golf Course and The Dunes House;
special sections featuring expanded infor­
mation about The Dunes House, Shelter Cove
Marina, Palmetto Dunes Outfitters and special
events catering services; online reservation
request forms, social bookmarking tags
and e-scrapbooking, which provides visitors
an opportunity to share their own vacation
photos, videos and memories online.
Visitors to the Web site can opt in to
receive more information on specific areas
of interest as well as find out about events
and special offers throughout the year.
For example, Palmetto Dunes is currently
offering 10-30 percent off on vacation
packages through the month of August,
2010. As an incentive for early booking, the
resort is adding a $50-$100 resort gift card.
“We’re looking toward solutions for a
single itinerary, where visitors can arrange
everything online,” said Kozemchak. (Cur­
rent­ly, visitors can book accommodations
and golf online after which a vacation
planner assists with other bookings.)
Beyond the Web, Palmetto Dunes is
reaching targeted markets through
major city publications as well as national
magazines such as Southern Living and
Oprah. This spring, they will be running
an insert in 16 different major market
newspapers which will reach some 35
million readers to help promote Hilton
Head Island as a family vacation destination.
Included is a Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront
Resort trip giveaway. “We’re very open-
minded and aggressive, but we do it with
the notion that we are going to generate
leads,” explained Kozemchak.
Focus on communication
But a lead is only as good as the follow-
up, and that’s where Palmetto Dunes is
concentrating a great deal of effort. “We
are focused on building good relationships
and good communications with our
customers,” said Kozemchak, touting the
rapidly expanding database. For people who
have opted in, requesting information about
Palmetto Dunes, we try to be very targeted
with communications that are specific to
their interests.”
However, communication doesn’t stop at
the promotional level. “From the time some­
body calls for information or to make a
re­serva­tion, there are touch points of com­
muni­ca­tion. We provide concierge services
before, during and after their visit,” said
Kozemchak. “It’s a full circle commitment.”
Customers who visit Palmetto Dunes
amenities while staying elsewhere are also
invited to join the inner sanctum. “A lot of
visitors to the resort may not be staying
at our rentals,” said Kozemchak, citing the
importance of on-the-ground touch points
such as the golf shops, the General Store,
the Outfitters Center, tennis center and
restaurants. “If they are playing with us and
not staying with us, they may sign up for
the hole-in-one contest or register to win
one of our vacation giveaways, which, again,
helps expand our database,” Kozemchak
explained. “This is not to harass anyone,”
she said. “If you are interested, we can help
you get more information. And you can
always unsubscribe.”
The bottom line
If you think marketing is just a matter of
sprinkling a few strategic advertisements
here and there or building a fancy Web
site, think again. “Marketing is everything
you do to deliver a piece of business,” said
Kozemchak. “Our investment in marketing
is not just advertising. It’s delivering the
whole experience and delivering it well.”
For all the high-tech tools and tracking
devices, according to Kozemchak, the best
measure of success is customer satisfaction.
“We are incredibly committed to making
sure we provide a great service experience
to the guest. “People will cherish experiences
and memories a lot longer than they will a
material possession,” said Kozemchak. “That’s
something that is very important to us.”

Seven Ways to Get to the Net

By Brian Kiggans

If we break down the doubles game,
there are three basic principles to follow
to help become a successful player. First,
do not try and get to a spot on the court
when your opponent is ready to strike the
ball; you must split-step, or yield, wherever
you are on the court so that you can get
your balance, change directions and go
after the oncoming ball. Second, you must
follow or flow with the ball as a team, as
if you and your partner are connected
with a chain or rope. Third, you want to
try and get to the net whenever possible
to take away time and angles from your
opponents. Approaching the net can be
a challenge for players of all skill levels.
Here are seven basic ways to move forward
from the baseline towards the net:
1. W hen you are in a rally and you receive
a short ball from your opponent, hit
an approach shot back to the deeper
player’s side and move forward.
2. W hen you are at the baseline and you
receive a high floater or pop-up, move
forward and play a drive volley back to
the deeper player’s side and continue
moving forward.
3. W hen you are at the baseline and
you hit a semi-lob drive or high
looper that pushes your opponent
back towards the fence or puts him
on the defensive on his back foot,
start moving to the net.
4. When you are in a rally and you
hit a good lob over the opposing
net player’s head, move in, but only
to mid-court—do not close in tight.
We call this a float, because most
likely you will get a lob in return. By
pausing mid-court, you will be ready
to hit an overhead and not end up
chasing the reply lob.
5. W hen your partner is at the net and
you are at the baseline and your
partner receives a short lob, this
gives you time to join your partner
at the net without even having to
hit the ball. This is called non-hitter
movement. Take advantage of the
times when you are deeper than
your partner, and move in when he
is getting an easy shot. Your partner
should hit the easy shot towards the
closer player to give him less time
to react.
6. When
 you receive a weak serve,
especially a weak second serve, play
the return to the server’s side and move
forward to the net. Occasionally you
might rip a hard shot at the net player
to catch him off guard. The serve is
already landing short, so if it is weak,
move in. This may be the shortest ball
you get. Once the rally starts, the balls
will tend to land deeper and you will
have to wait for another opportunity to
move forward.
7. When you are the server, serve and
volley. Toss the ball a little more
forward and let your body momentum
bring you immediately towards the
net. Do not wait to see if your serve
is in the box. Go forward towards the
middle of your half court as soon as
you strike the serve.

Hitting the Sweet Spot

By I.J. Schecter with Doug Weaver

It’s a dilemma all golfers face: How can
I improve my accuracy without sacrificing
distance, and vice versa? Marrying consistent
length with reliable distance requires
awareness of specific principles and the
willingness to execute them ruthlessly. It
starts with finding the sweet spot.
Like a baseball bat or tennis racket, a
golf club has a specific area on its surface
referred to as the sweet spot. It is referred
to this way because it represents the ideal
point of intersection between the athletic
instrument and the projectile in question—
in this case, a little white ball with hundreds
of tiny dimples.
No matter what sport you’re playing,
you know instantly when you hit the sweet
spot because it feels like—well, nothing.
Like a musician hitting a note with perfect
precision, the sensation of hitting the
sweet spot strikes you ironically as the
complete absence of sensation since,
when you make contact on that spot,
you are encountering zero resistance to
your own energy. The surface area with
which you’ve struck the ball is the area in
which weight is uniformly distributed and
precisely balanced, thereby producing the
physical perception that the ball has, in a
sense, disappeared into the clubface and
then magically jumped back off it.
Hitting the ball on the sweet spot allows
you to maximize both length and accuracy,
something professional golfers achieve
through thousands of hours of practice
and coaching. The majority of recreational
golfers usually make contact with the ball
left, right, above or below the sweet spot,
compromising distance, accuracy or both.
The reason for this is an inconsistent swing
path, leading to inconsistency in the position
of the clubface at impact, leading, in turn, to
shifting impact angles. These days, Big
Bertha drivers and perimeter-weighted
irons have made sweet spots bigger and
mishits somewhat less hazardous, but don’t
let that fool you into swinging improperly.
The best way to achieve better sweet-spot
consistency is through simple repetition
combined with clear, instantaneous self-
Rob Tipton/Boomkin Productions
feedback. On the center of your 5-iron
clubface, place a square of masking tape.
Take 10 swings, then inspect the piece of
tape. Ideally there would be ten marks on
top of one another, directly in the middle.
That’s the ideal—but few golfers, even
among the professional ranks, hit the ball
on the sweet spot every time.
Aim to improve your rate as you go.
Think of your tape inspection as an
examination of your entire swing. If the
marks are consistently below the sweet
spot, you aren’t striking the ball low
enough. If they’re consistently inside the
sweet spot (that is, closer to the toe), you
might be standing too close to the ball at
address. Use one club per session and
perform several 10-swing sets. Don’t worry
about how many center-marks you score
out of 10; just worry about that number
increasing over time.

ESPN Going Coastal host Byron Velvick fishes
the Palmetto Dunes Lagoon with Captain Trent Malphrus.
By Linda S. Hopkins with Captain Trent Malphrus
Last May, Palmetto Dunes’ beloved
fishing guru, Captain Trent Malphrus of
Palmetto Lagoon Charters, found himself
on the other end of the line for a change,
reeled in by a television producer dangling
some pretty impressive bait: an opportunity
to be featured on ESPN’s popular fishing
series, Going Coastal, hosted by two-time
bass fishing U.S. Open champion, Byron
Velvick, also known for his sixth season
run as The Bachelor.
“My wife thought it was a prank,” said
Malphrus, who was just settling in for
dinner when the call came in. Turns out
that production company owner, Nick
Seifert, fished with Malphrus in the
Palmetto Dunes lagoon system a few years
ago and thought the experience worth
sharing with the world.
The Fischer Productions crew arrived
in September, 2009, for a four-day fishing
extravaganza which would lead to a half-
hour segment about what Palmetto Dunes
has to offer in the way of fishing. According
to Malphrus, it couldn’t have been a more
suc­cess­ful run. “We crushed it (surf lingo
meaning the fish were cooperating) every
day,” he said.
“It was just incredible. It made for a fan­
tastic show,” said Velvick, who was visiting
Hilton Head Island for the first time.
But according to Velvick, even more
impressive than the fishing was the hospitality.
“I thought it made for great TV, but more
importantly, it turned into a little mini-
vacation,” he said. “It was such a relaxing
kind of carefree deal. I think in April or May
I’m going to come back just to enjoy it.”
Going Coastal is an inshore saltwater
show that is meant to be both entertaining
and educational to the viewers.
“What we are looking for is the best
inshore bite and the best local experts,”
Velvick said.
The Hilton Head Island show with
Captain Trent Malphrus will air on ESPN2
this spring. For programming dates or to
watch clips, visit http://sports.espn.go.com/
outdoors/tv/news/story?page=g_tv_desc_
Going_Coastal. If you missed it, or for a
sneak preview, swing by the PD Outfitters
Center or the PD General Store.
But wait… There’s a bonus! After filming
was complete for the main show, Velvick
hit the beach to cast a line with Malphrus’
partner, Captain Stacey Garbett. It was such a
successful outing, the segment was combined
with a surfcasting show which began in
Montauk, New York. Originally aired on
January 31, the show will be rebroadcast on
ESPN2 March 28, 2010 at 7:30 a.m. ET and
several times throughout the spring.
Spring fishing forecast
After a long, cold winter season, area
fishermen are in for a surprise this spring.
The last week of October, 2009, Palmetto
Dunes gave 1,600 redfish a new home in the
resort lagoon system, finishing off a five-
year restocking program and bringing the
total up to 10,000 fish.
“It’s awesome,” said Malphrus, who sug­
gest­ed the restocking program in 2003 when
he signed his first contract with Palmetto
Dunes. “It was part of my business pro­posal.
I didn’t want to come in here and make money
off the fishing and not give back,” he said.
Because fishing in the resort is catch-
and-release only, the fish will remain in
the system to grow and reproduce for
the further enjoyment of homeowners and
guests of the resort.
Completing the program in October has
given the fish time to get acclimated to the
system, Malphrus explained.
“By stocking those fish in the fall, it’s
going to be an awesome spring!”
Whether you are an elite fly fisherman, an avid
angler looking for that record-breaking catch or
a family eager to do something special together,

By Doug Eck
Tybee Island Day Trip
You might wonder why anyone would
leave Hilton Head Island to visit another
island by boat. For us, it’s a diversion and a
reason to be on the water. We had been to
Tybee Island beach before by car, but never
by boat. It seemed like the perfect day trip
for our “new” 29-ft. Wellcraft.
Tybee Island, Ga., is located 18 miles east
of Savannah. The small barrier island is
only three miles long with just three traffic
lights, but there’s plenty of fun to be found:
a wide expanse of beach; forts, museums
and a great old lighthouse; endangered
Cannons are for climbing, right? Doug Eck
(front), wife, Jane (top) and their friends
couldn’t resist. The Korean Vintage, 1942
Model, Field Gun has been displayed in front of
Battery Garland at Fort Screven since 1989.
birds and other animal species; kayaks
and bikes to rent (along with a variety of
hotels, motels, cottages and condos).
The trip (27 nautical miles) took about
two hours or so from Hilton Head, and of
course we brought along some friends.
It was a beautiful, sunny, 60 degree-plus
January day. We called ahead and arranged
to dock our boat at a restaurant called
*AJ’s Dockside, on the very southern tip
of the island. (If you are just staying for
the day and they have room on their outer
dock, there is no charge. If you want to
stay overnight, the docking fee is $2 per
foot.) Besides being a perfect place to
dock the boat, AJ’s is a popular spot for a
plate of fresh seafood or cocktails and a
fabulous sunset (open for lunch Friday-
Sunday 11 a.m.-4 p.m. and dinner nightly
from 4-10 p.m.) Since they were closed
for lunch on the day we were there, we
walked approximately two blocks to **Sting
Ray’s, one of Tybee’s most popular seafood
restaurants, specializing in fresh-caught
blue crab and just a block from the beach
(open 11 a.m.-10 p.m. weekdays and 11 a.m.
until on weekends with live entertainment
Fridays and Saturdays).
Our next step was to scope out
transportation. Choices included bikes,
scooters or golf carts. We opted for a six-
man electric golf cart, rented through Tybee
Cruisers. Once in the cart, we drove on the
main road, like every other car, and headed
out on our tour of Tybee. It felt like we
were on some small Caribbean island. The
side streets were dirt roads, dotted with
lime green and watermelon hued houses,
lending a laidback, tropical appeal.
Our first destination was the historic
Tybee Island Lighthouse, which you can see
from Hilton Head Island. Admission was $7
per person to climb the 178 stairs—worth
the money and the effort for the spectacular
views. The ticket price also included
admission to the Tybee Island Museum,
which is across the street in Battery Garland
at Fort Screven. (Of course, we had to have
our picture taken on the cannon.)
Our last stop was the Tybee Island Pavilion
& Fishing Pier at the beach. In season,
concession stands are available where you
can grab a cold drink and get out of the sun
for a while. The main street was just steps
away, with abundant shopping, restaurants
and bars—at least for about a block.
We ended our day taking in a glorious
sunset while heading down Broad Creek
toward home. Life doesn’t get any better!

Taming the Stress Monster
By Linda S. Hopkins
Are you being terrorized by the stress monster?
If so, be assured, it is not your imagination… Maybe
it’s the economy. Maybe it’s the fast pace we set for
ourselves or the pace we allow the world to set for us.
Stress has always been a reality for responsible adults,
but everyone seems to be feeling it more these days.
Two very real solutions exist: exercise and relaxation.
While these concepts may seem ambiguous, when it
comes to finding relief from stress, they actually go
hand-in-hand.
Rein it in with exercise
Many people exercise to lose or control their
weight, get in better physical condition and become
more physically attractive. But exercise and stress
management are also closely linked.
According to Nate Dixon, Doctor of Physical Therapy
and owner of Palmetto Athletic Club and Palmetto
Therapy Services, exercise can be extremely effective
as a mood booster and coping mechanism. “Exercise
causes the brain to release hormones that naturally calm
our bodies and mental activity. It keeps us balanced and
helps us be more productive,” he said.
In addition, physical activity is an outlet for mounting
frustrations and everyday annoyances. High-energy
forms of exercise such as kickboxing, spinning,
or weight training can provide a release, turning
potentially unhealthy emotions, such as anger, into
motivation for increased health and well-being.
Physical activity can also serve as a distraction or
mini-escape, temporarily taking your mind off your
troubles. Dixon points out that activities such as yoga
and stretching are particularly effective for calming the
mind and relieving the tensions of the day.
There’s something to be said for the social outlet,
too. Whether you’re in a group fitness or dance class,
working out in the gym with a buddy, playing tennis
in a league or taking a walk with a friend, working out
with others can make you feel good as well as help
motivate you to work harder.
And there’s the cumulative effect. Research suggests
that people who get more exercise may become less
affected by stress over time. So, in addition to all the other
benefits, exercise may provide some immunity to future
stress as well as a way to cope with current situations.
Dixon urges members and visitors to check out the
variety of classes and programs Palmetto Athletic Club
has to offer, including boxing, spinning, yoga, Pilates,
boot camp, personal training, senior fitness, massage
and more. “Just give it a try, and you’ll feel your stress
melt away,” he said.
Calm it down with spa therapies Palmetto Athletic Club (PAC) is the area’s premier fitness
While physical exercise provides stress busting club, offering more than 22,000 square feet of indoor
power, our minds and bodies also demand time training space. PAC is located at 811 Wm. Hilton Pkwy.,

to manage stress.
According to Christine Taylor, manager of Spa Soleil
at the Marriott, spa services are no longer a luxury, but
essential tools for managing the daily stresses of life.
“Other than keeping your skin soft and your body in
good repair, therapies, such as massages, facials, body
scrubs, therapeutic baths and even manicures and
pedicures have the capacity to help us slow down and
heal our bodies, minds, and spirits,” she said.
Scientific research backs up her claim. “Touch with
pressure is a major stimulus to the central nervous
system,” said Dr. Tiffany Field of the Touch Research
Institute. “It puts people in a very relaxed state; your
heart rate slows down, your blood pressure decreases.
Things that are aroused by stress are diminished by this
rubbing that people feel when they are massaged.”
A five-week study on the effects of massage in the
workplace conducted by Bowling Green University
showed it reduced anxiety and enhanced alertness. The
individuals who were massaged twice a week completed
a math test in half the time with half the errors and their Spa Soleil is a 10,000-sq.-ft. state-of-the-art facility, includ­

and blankets and refreshment stations, including fresh
fruit, naturally flavored waters, herbal teas and more. “I
want people to understand how healing it is to take time
out for themselves—just to experience that relaxation
room and everything that’s back there,” said Taylor.
Like exercise, spa services are more effective
when you engage in them regularly. Even a monthly
treatment can help maintain general health.
While it may be difficult to prioritize something like
going to a gym class or getting a massage when you
have so many important tasks on your plate, taking
time to take care of yourself conveys to others that
you value yourself. “It’s like a mental and emotional
vacation,” said Taylor. “It allows you to come back to
the reality of your life feeling refreshed and relaxed.”

Palmetto Dunes Property Owners Association Reports on Improvements
By Dick Waterman
The process of maintaining and enhanc­
ing Palmetto Dunes as a premier resort is an
unending one. During the last 18 months,
Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort has
seen numerous improvements come to
fruition. This is due to a combination
of the Palmetto Dunes Property Owners
Association’s dedicated land planning
committee overseeing improvement pro­
jects and the hard work done by its general
manager and infrastructure committee
on repair and replacement functions.
Following is a summary of completed and
ongoing improvements:
Bridges and roads
One of the first important (but less
visible) projects was to ensure that our
many bridges remain safe and serviceable.
To this end, wooden pilings were “wrapped,”
thus extending their lifespan for up to 25
more years. Bridge wing walls, bulkheads,
and abutment flumes were also provided
to preserve our bridges along with bridge
rails and lighting for safety.
Electrical work has been completed,
especially along Queen’s Folly Road, to
improve safety and availability of power. Of
course, the roads have all been repaired
and repaved. Safety requirements, such
as street markings and some additional
Palmetto Hall Plantation, DMG continued
to dominate, selling more properties in
this community than any other real estate
company. Dunes Marketing Group was
also the number one villa sales company in
Southern Beaufort County with 50 million
dollars in volume! “All told, we had a great
sales year in 2009 with more than three
hundred transactions and over 100 million
dollars in real estate sales!” said Baldwin.
Trust & Commitment
While these numbers and statistics are
great for those who may be selling a house, a
buyer is also looking for all of this and more.
Each year, Hilton Head Island welcomes
over two million visitors to its sandy, sun-
kissed beaches where hundreds decide to
make a permanent move after spending just
a few weeks in our tropical paradise. A real
estate agent is oftentimes the first person a
newcomer to the area comes into contact with,
and those first impressions can last a lifetime.
Was the agent helpful with information about
local schools? Did he/she assist in getting
electric, cable and phone setup? Did he/she
share information about local events, favorite
restaurants and shops? Many of the agents at
Dunes Marketing Group have been with the
company and have lived on the island for over
20 years. Who better to show you around and
help you “settle in”?
In addition to their recognized seniority
on the island, one of the things that makes
Dunes Marketing Group special is their
commitment to and support of our local
community. The company has been a
corporate sponsor of HarbourFest and the
Arts Center of Coastal Carolina for many
years, and continuously supports and funds
local charity events. With such involvement,
it is easy to see their concern for making
Hilton Head Island a better place for its
residents—current and future!

traffic signs, have been accomplished as
well as replacement of the north gate
guard house.
In an effort to alleviate traffic congestion,
especially during the busy visitor season,
Queens Folly Rd. will be widened as it
approaches the circle to allow for two lanes.
Leisure and beach paths
Leisure pathways have been repaired
and constructed along major roads,
including Queen’s Folly, Mooring Buoy,
Sea Lane, St. George, and most recently,

Signage and beautification
A very noticeable improvement has
been the repair, replacement, and removal
of many of the signs that you encounter
every day. The design and image sub-
committee was charged with identifying
current signs that could be removed and
with achieving a consistent appearance
of the remaining signs. (Over the past 30
years, there has been very little signage
uniformity.) Their process began by
grouping signs into traffic, safety, and
informational categories. Where possible,
signs were either replaced or removed
within each category to add function and
beauty. The main entrance of Palmetto
Dunes was updated with this in mind.
Street signs were replaced with
“bladed” signs and reflective letters,
making navigation easier, especially at
Ocean Lane. These pathways provide more night. Additionally, informational signs

Elton John’s Aida
Headlines Diverse Spring Lineup
at The Arts Center
By Tim Hager
It’ll be a busy spring at the Arts Center of Coastal Carolina with a diverse
slate of events including student art shows, a period romance from the mind
of Elton John and a look at a comedic legend.
Pop superstar, Elton John, fresh off his recent Tony Award-winning smash
Billy Elliott, brings his talents to Elton John’s Aida, April 28-May 30. The
musical—an epic romance—tells the story of an Egyptian “love pyramid”
between three star-crossed lovers. “Every year, we poll our patrons on what
shows they want to see,” said Kathleen Bateson, president and CEO of the
Arts Center. “This show was voted our top contemporary musical. And I think
the audience will be pleased with their choice. It’s similar in size and scope to
last year’s Les Miz. From costumes
to sets to the size of the cast, it’s
definitely grand. And beautiful.”
In Aida, two contemporary
adults are uncannily swept from an
exhibition of Egyptian artifacts back
in time, to the days of Radames.
The prince of Egypt is engaged to
Amneris but falls for Aida, princess
of Nubia, in a story of forbidden and
unrequited love.
The Grammy Award-winning
score is a modern classic, featuring
an eclectic mix of hits, such as
“Every Story is a Love Story.” The
score also won the show one of its
four Tonys.
“In terms of Broadway success,
Elton John has one of the best track
records out there,” said Bateson. “Between Billy Elliot, The Lion King and
Aida, he is responsible for 20 Tonys. That’s impressive for someone fairly new
to the theater scene.”
Tickets for Aida are $50 for the April 28 and April 29 previews ($35 for
children) and $54 for the April 30 premiere and beyond ($37 for children).
Visit artshhi.com or call 843-842-ARTS.
There are plenty of events at the Arts Center before and after Elton John’s
Aida. Don’t miss:
ArtsTeach: Saving Planet Earth (March 4-28)
Celebrate Youth Arts Month with this student exhibit at the Arts Center’s
Walter Greer Gallery, showcasing 2-D and 3-D creations from the next
generation of eco-conscious artists.
Treasures from the Telfair II (April 9-May 2)
Savannah’s prestigious Telfair Museum of Art assembled this special
exhibition at the Greer Gallery, selecting several special and unique artworks
from its permanent collection.
Say Goodnight Gracie (May 17)
This hit Broadway play invites you to spend
a hilarious, heart-warming evening in the
uplifting company of the legendary comic,
George Burns. The Tony-nominated one-
man show was Broadway’s third-longest
running solo performance show and won
the 2003-04 National Broadway Theatre
Award for BEST PLAY. Tickets are $42. Visit

Egypt: A Sense of Place (May 8-30)
Explore this Greer Gallery exhibit, inspired by the
beauty and majesty of Egypt, as it relates to the Egyptian tale and musical love
story, Aida, which begins and closes in a gallery.
The Arts Center of Coastal Carolina is a non-profit performing arts organization.
In addition to a 349-seat, main-stage theater that hosts an annual theater
and performing arts series, the organization oversees two art galleries and
a community arts educational program. The Arts Center received the 2006
Elizabeth O’Neill Verner Award for top arts organization in South Carolina.

If you’re looking for thrill rides,
cartoon characters and monorails, you
won’t find them at Disney’s Hilton Head
Island Resort. What you will find is an
inviting retreat and a cast of real-life
characters who know how to add a touch
of magic to your day.
Tucked away on its own private island
in Shelter Cove, overlooking Broad
Creek, is a 15-acre “magic kingdom,”
uniquely designed to blend with our
Lowcountry landscape and lifestyle.
Disney Vacation Club owners and visitors
to the resort are privy to a full array of
amenities, activities and adventures, but
what you may be surprised to know
is that parts of the resort are open to
the public, including the Disney theme
store (Broad Creek Mercantile) and two
quick-serve restaurants.
Get your ears here
Whether you are a guest of
the resort, curious visitor, die-hard
Disneyana or local resident entertaining
guests or grandkids, you won’t want to miss
Broad Creek Mercantile, a unique theme
store dedicated to all things Disney. The
store itself fits in with the resort theme
of a 1940s hunting and fishing lodge. “It’s
more like a country store or general store

Juried Art Fair Returns
to Shelter Cove Harbour
This Memorial Day weekend, area residents
and visitors alike are in for a rare treat at the
2010 Hilton Head Island Art Festival, a top-
quality juried art fair at Shelter Cove Harbour.
This popular art festival, held May 29 and 30,
which is free and open to the public, offers an
eclectic mix of the country’s top established
artists as well as new and emerging talent.
Discover gorgeous paintings, life-size sculptures,
nature photography, unique jewelry, handmade
ceramics and more. The Hilton Head Island Art
Festival attracts families, art enthusiasts and art
collectors, offering a range of prices, styles and
media to suit every taste.
“We’re thrilled to host the Hilton Head Island
Art Festival again this year at Shelter Cove
Harbour,” said Bret Martin, vice president of
operations at Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort
on Hilton Head Island, S.C. “This event delighted
residents and visitors last year with a wide
range of talent. Shelter Cove Harbour will once
again serve as an ideal location to showcase
original work by talented artists and artisans
from around the country.”
Artists will line Shelter Cove Harbour with
gallery-style display booths, transforming this
popular waterfront shopping and dining destination
into a high-end outdoor art gallery. All of the
artists will be present for the duration of the show,
allowing the public the opportunity to interact with
them and to discuss the work on display.
Organized by Howard Alan Events, a Florida-
based company that develops and presents art
and craft shows throughout the country, the
festival is quickly becoming a Hilton Head Island
favorite. “We came to Hilton Head for the first
time last year after many requests from some of
our best clients,” said festival promoter, Howard
Alan. “We are happy to bring an event of this
caliber to Hilton Head Island and are delighted it
is now an annual tradition.”
Participating artists have been juried by an
independent panel of expert judges and hand-
selected from hundreds of applicants based on
quality and diversity. All of the artwork is original
and made in America.
Show Hours: Saturday 10 a.m.-6 p.m., Sunday
10 a.m.-5 p.m. For additional information, visit
artfestival.com or call (954) 472-3755.
