T
he Center for Birds of Prey, the principle
operating division for The Avian
Conservation Center, kicked off its
20
th
anniversary celebration last weekend.
Special guests Jack and Suzi Hanna and Matt
and Ted Lee helped lead the ceremonies. The
day began with a family-friendly "Morning
with Jack Hanna", and over 400 people came
out to see fying demonstrations. Excitement
from the morning only grew as the evening
approached and WILD at Wingswood took off.
The event was sponsored by Half Moon
Outftters, and entailed a visit to Vulture
Restaurant, Harris Hawk Walks, face
painting, arts and crafts, and an opportunity
to meet Jack Hanna himself.
Wild birds are among the worlds most
illuminating sentinel species. Birds are
numerous, conspicuous, diverse, widespread,
and particularly
sensitive to
environmental
changes. The
ecological status of
wild birds directly
refects the condition
of the ecosystem and
biodiversity as a whole. Environmental issues
that impact wild bird populations often have
potential human health implications as well,
reads The Center for Birds of Preys website.
Ideally situated on a 150-acre campus
north of Charleston the Center is dedicated
to the study and welfare of birds and their
habitats and engaging the public in important
environmental issues that affect birds and
humans alike.
Operating 365 days a year with support
from more than 80 trained and dedicated
volunteer staff members the Center has
treated and released thousands of injured
birds since its founding in 1991. For more
info visit TheCenterForBirdsOfPrey.org or call
971-7474.
During "Morning with Jack Hanna" guests were treated to the rare opportunity to see
both the fastest animal in the world, a falcon, as well as the fastest land mammal in the
world, a cheetah (pictured above). Photo by John Mead

Urban Entitlement
Program-Joint SI/IOP
Public Hearing
5:45 p.m.
2050-B Middle Street

Charleston County
Community Services will
hold a joing Public Hearing
for Sullivan's Island and
Isle of Palms residents
regarding its Urban
Entitlement Program. Visit
sullivansisland-sc.com for
more information.
NOTE: Regular Council
meeting will begin
immediately following this
public hearing.
F
or the frst time in ten years,
overall property values
on the Isle of Palms have
experienced a slight decrease.
As a direct result of this, millage
rates for the fscal year of 2012 will
refect these changes. The City
of Isle of Palms Administration,
in turn, is looking for a way to
set the adjusted millage rates,
based on Charleston Countys
reassessed values. Recently, the
City of Isle of Palms adjusted the
millage rates on the island from
22.2% (as of 2010) to 22.9%
(2011).
At a special meeting of
Council, held on November 1,
City Administrator Linda Tucker
explained how these millage rates
would affect residents of the Isle
of Palms.
The reassessment process
involves revaluing all property
within a jurisdiction, and
assigning those properties new
values, said Tucker. South
Carolina state law dictates that
the reassessment process occurs
every fve years, and, as of late,
these are the changes that
resulted from the process.
The City of Isle of Palms
reassessment was due in 2010,
but was delayed until this year.
Tucker wanted to make a point
that it is completely revenue
neutral, meaning that the tax
authority is not meant to receive
a windfall if property tax values
increase. On the other end of
the spectrum, no tax authority
shall experience a shortfall if the
values decrease.
Of the 4% assessed values,
which are owner-occupied
residences, 4.3% less was
refected from 2010. Regarding
the 6% assessed values, a
decreased of only 0.7% was
shown.
Some individual properties
increased in value, some
properties saw no change, and
some decreased in value, stated
Tucker. Because of the decrease,
and contrary to increases in other
assessment years, it is necessary
to adjust the millage to refect the
same revenues that have been
generated by the millage in 2010.
The Isle of Palms revenue budget
has been relatively fat for the past
few years, so the City has been
containing their expenses. This is
to ensure that revenues cover the
overall expenses of the City.
If the millage were to remain at
the 22.2% it is sitting at currently,
the FY12 budget would sustain a
$200,000 shortfall. This is why
the City is looking to increase
the millage rate to 22.9%, and
is ultimately a preventative
measure. There is another
underlying issue as well, at the
time the City ran the numbers;
there were still 589 appeals to
Charleston Countys assessment.
These issues have to be resolved
before the City will know where
they stand on the revenue side.
The 22.2% millage rate is
composed of 19.3% for operations,
as well as 2.9% for debt-
servicing. A followed adjustment,
which used the adjustment
mathematical analysis prescribed
by the state, refects 19.8% for
operations, and 3.1% for debt-
servicing. The latter percentages
compose the Citys new millage
rate of 22.9%.
Even though the assessment is
intended to be revenue neutral,
the City will still sustain a
shortfall of $54,000 with the new
millage rates.
At our last meeting on October
20, we had requested some
information from Charleston
County, which we had not
received, said Tucker. We
received some information this
morning (November 1), and have
some overall answers to residents
concerns in millage increases/
decreases.
In looking at the 5,172
residences on Isle of Palms,
the City found that 1,134 had
no change in value (22%),
2,509(49%) saw an increase in
value, and 1,529(30%) saw a
decrease in value. The amount
of change (in either way) equals
out to a net change of roughly $3
million.
As Mayor Dick Cronin
motioned to approve the millage
rates, he voiced his concerns.
We still have 589 outstanding
appeals, of which we dont know
the character or disposition of,
stated Cronin. This is a very
large percentile of those who saw
increase millage rates. Surely
those who appealed want to see
a decrease in their number
either way; we are going to face a
shortfall regardless.
The adjusted millage rates for
the City of Isle of Palms carried
8-1, with Council member Ryan
Buckhannon opposing.

T
he Sullivans Island
Town Council has been
discussing paid parking,
off and on, since Folly Beach
installed kiosks to dispense
paid parking receipts along their
beach roads. This paid parking
approach has worked well for
Folly Beach. The Isle of Palms
has introduced paid parking lots
and kiosks in their front beach
commercial district and is now
considering an expansion of paid
parking to residential areas. An
initial IOP proposal this past
summer to develop paid parking
pods on beach-access paths
along Palm Blvd., has provoked
a lot of opposition. For the time
being, this issue is on the IOP
back burner, but it will come up
again, probably sooner rather
than later.
The Sullivans Island Town
Council held a public hearing
in July of 2010 to solicit public
input on the issue of paid
parking. This hearing raised a
lot of relevant questions. The
most obvious question: why
would we want to charge for
parking on Sullivans Island? I
think most residents (including
Town Council) take pride in our
hospitality and would prefer
not to ask beach visitors to pay
for parking if it can be avoided.
However, there are good reasons
why paid parking, in some form,
is probably in our future.
Reason 1: Because Folly
Beach and Isle of Palms have
paid parking, Sullivans Island
is at risk of becoming the
designated free parking beach for
the Tri-County area, especially if
IOP substantially expands paid
parking.
Reason 2: Sullivans Island is
a small residential community,
with a population under 2000,
but we host thousands of visitors.
As a result, our small town pays
for outsized Police and Fire &
Rescue Departments. When
day-trippers decide your yard is
a parking lot or block two-way
traffc on Island streets, it is the

A
n article in the Post and
Courier of October 21,
2011, states that Sullivans
Islands Town Attorney has
determined that the referendum
petition on the size of the school
to be built at Sullivans Island is
moot and as result town offcials
are trying to fgure out whether
they would hold a referendum.
I worked with some residents
of Sullivans Island in drafting
the petition and disagree that it
is moot. The petition asks the
Town not to enter an agreement
for a larger school than existed
previously and that if it does, to
revoke it. It was presented to the
Town Council on the morning of
October 18.
Nonetheless, that evening the
Town Council voted to enter into
a contract with the Charleston
County School Board for a larger
school. That action by the Town
Council does in fact make moot
; the provision of the petition
referendum seeking to prevent the
Town from entering into a contract
for a larger school. It does not,
however, make moot the provision
requiring the Town to revoke the
contract if entered into.
The petition provision on
revoking the contract if
entered into is as follows:
Section 1-5(b). If the Town of
Sullivans Island enters into
any agreement or makes any
commitment to allow for the
construction of a school at
Sullivans Island with more
square footage than the previous
school, the Town of Sullivans
Island shall take action to revoke
such agreement or commitment.
It is clear from this provision
that the Towns entering into a
contract with the School Board
does not make the petition
referendum moot. It is precisely
when the Town takes this action
that this provision goes from
moot, or in legal parlance not
ripe, to just the opposite. The
Town is mistaking its right to
enter into the contract with the
School Board for a larger school,
which is not contested, with the
right of residents to undertake
a petition referendum to require
the Town to take action revoking
its previous action. The petition
referendum process by its very
nature contemplates citizens
overturning action or inaction by
the Town Council. That is just
what citizens seek to do here.
Because the Town has authority
to enter into the contract with the
School Board for the larger school,
unless some defect is found in its
action doing this, the contract
is a valid one. Contracts are,
however, broken all the time with
the party breaking the contract
being liable for damages. Parties
to contracts, however, have the
legal duty to mitigate damages. In
light of this duty and the fact that
the petition referendum requiring
the Town to take action to revoke
the contract has been certifed by
the Charleston County Elections
Board, expenditures made for the
new, larger school may later be
judged to be wholly or partially
not recoverable as damages. If
the petition passes and Sullivans
Island does revoke the contract,
there will likely be some damages
for which it is liable. This liability
will undoubtedly be argued by
those opposing the referendum as
a reason not to vote for it. Whether
this liability is suffcient reason to
vote against the referendum will
be up to the voters of Sullivans
Island. The petition itself,
however, is not moot.
Those opposing the petition
referendum have also claimed that
it is invalid as a result of the South
Carolina Supreme Courts ruling
in ION v. Town of Mt. Pleasant,
338 S.C. 406, 526 S.E.2d 716
(2000). That case carved out of
the issues for which referendums
could be employed those dealing
with zoning decisions. The Court
reasoned that the legislature had
established elaborate, detailed
zoning procedures and those
procedures were the only way
zoning decisions could be made.
338 S.C. at 412, 526 S.E. 2d at
719. The decision by the Town
Council to enter into the contract
with the School Board for the larger
school at Sullivans Island was
not subject to the zoning process
and is therefore not subject to the
exception from the referendum
process established by ION.

S
ynchronicity has always played
an important role in my life,
so when Kathryn Peters, co-
visionary of Seeking Indigo on King
Street said, Im going to Bali. Why
dont you come? I paid attention.
Though wed only just met, I accepted
her invitation. Wed been introduced
virtually by Island Eye News editor
Bridget Manzella who said, You two
should meet.
As author of Awake in the World,
a book on spiritual practices from
around the world and a world traveler
with a deep interest in spirituality
and a love for exploring new places,
I jumped on the opportunity. It was
also an ideal time. Id just experienced
some traumatic life changes and
needed a change of place to see clearly.
Peters is a good guide. She travels to
Bali regularly to source beautiful silks
for her designer dresses and shes
planning a Seeking Indigo group trip
to Bali in 2012. We were accompanied
by another Charlestonian, professional
photographer, Chris Rogers and by the
editor of Southern Living magazine.
Journeys are wonderful ways to
open doors to spiritual exploration.
They take us out of our comfort zone
and bring us to see and experience
ways of life that we might not
otherwise know. Journeys also
open doors to synchronicity and my
Bali adventure came together as a
series of events that started several
years earlier. Id originally come to
Charleston, encouraged by New York
Times bestselling author, Mary Alice
Monroe. Wed met at a conference
and she invited me to do a workshop
on creativity and dreams on the
Isle of Palms. On the same trip she
introduced me to Carolyn Rivers,
founder of The Sophia Institute, where
Im now on the faculty.
Carl Jung defnes synchronicity
as two unlikely events occurring at
the same time that point to deeper
meanings and elevated experiences.
When ones on a journey, even
if its only on the daily drive to
work, synchronicities speak to the
whisperings of the soul. If were alert
and value them, they can make us
pause and offer guidance and insights.
Bali is a place steeped in deep
spiritual traditions and synchronicity.
Its everyday life is interwoven with
Balinese Hindu practices and now
many people also associate it with

her journey in Eat, Pray, Love. At

that deals with it. When beach
visitors get into trouble on the
sandbars, a frequent occurrence
despite warning signs, or
encounter riptides, it is the
Sullivans Island Fire & Rescue
Squad that responds. Island-
wide, for heart attacks or jellyfsh
stings, our capable professionals
are called on to help. Holiday
weekends and special events
such as the Fourth of July and
Polar Bear Swim impose extra
demands. It seems reasonable to
ask our visitors to help support
these essential services and
perhaps the fairest way is by
paid parking.
Reason 3: The Tri-County area
is growing fast, attracting new
businesses, retirees and tourists.
All are welcome on South
Carolinas public beaches and all
are allowed to park on the public
right-of-way that is owned by
the South Carolina Department
of Transportation. DOT values
public access to beaches but
does not provide funds to support
parking management, maintain
beach paths, provide boardwalks
over the fragile dunes, or pay for
trash pickup. This economic
burden to our small island will
only increase over time.
The Plan: The specifcs of a
paid parking plan will determine
how acceptable it will be to
Sullivans Island residents and
visitors. Where will paid parking
be located, Island-wide or beach
areas only? Year round or
summer only? Decals, permits
or kiosks? Enforcement? Costs?
This October, as a frst step to
fesh out such details, Town
Council sent out a Request for
Proposals (RFP) to develop a
Pilot Parking Program, designed
for the summer months of May
to September, to encompass
Station 16 to Station 30, from
Middle Street to Atlantic Ave,
Brownell and Marshall Blvd.
My understanding is that Town
Council is not considering kiosks
at the beach paths because
this was the prime objection
raised by residents at the 2010
public hearing. Town Council is
very interested in specifcs on
how to manage visitor parking
without disrupting parking
by Town residents and their
guests. Hopefully there will be
an accommodation for frequent
visitors, perhaps through a
season pass. Many beach
communities have well-designed
and well-accepted parking
management programs, and
Town Council is looking for an
Architect / Engineer frm with
the expertise to help design such
a plan for Sullivans Island.
Town Council will review the
responses to the RFP and select
a frm in early November to
submit a Pilot Parking Plan by
the middle of December. This
frst-pass Plan is to include
several options as well as specifc
recommendations for Sullivans
Island. Over the following
months, the consultants will host
workshops for Town Council and
the pubic to develop the fnal plan.
A nice requirement is that this
Pilot Parking Plan is to include
measures to evaluate its success.
Town Councils goal is to have a
feasible plan that is well suited
to Sullivans Island available for
possible implementation this
spring on a trial basis. I do want
to emphasize that no decision
has yet been made to implement
paid parking for summer of
2012. Town Council has only
decided to develop a plan that
will be ready to go when it is
needed. That may be the 2012
beach season or sometime in the
future. Expect to hear more in
the coming months and do plan
to attend public workshops or
hearings and provide your input.

The Isle of Palms Planning
Commission is hosting three open
houses for residents to provide
input and suggestions, verbally
or in writing, about parking on
the island. This island is full
of skilled and talented people,
said Mayor Dick Cronin. City
Council is open to considering
any solutions that come forward.
Each of the open houses
will focus on a different area of
the island, but all are welcome
to come to any session to give
comments. The frst session was
held on Wednesday, November 9.
The second session will be held
on Wednesday, November 30
from 5:30-8:00 p.m. Held at the
Citadel Beach Club, this meeting
will focus on the area from 42
nd

Avenue to 57
th
Avenue. The third
session will be held on Tuesday,
December 13 from 5:30 p.m. to
8:00 p.m. at the Exchange Club.
It will focus on the area between
Breach Inlet and the Commercial
District.
The Isle of Palms is a barrier
island with 7 miles of beach
off the coast of South Carolina
near Charleston. On peak
days in the summer, thirty-fve

Dear Editor,
My daughter is the 3r
d

generation in my family to attend
Sullivans Island Elementary
School (SIES). As a Sullivans
Island resident and SIES
graduate, I was very happy to
see Mayor Pro Tem Mike Perkis
sign the lease for the new SIES
at the Town Council meeting on
October 18. I am grateful that
Sullivans Island Town Council
(SITC) has realized the vital role
the school has played in our
community and followed through
with its promise to ensure the
school is rebuilt.
The new lease allows for a
school with capacity of 500
students. There has been some
sentiment that a school this size
would lose its small town feel.
We currently have 420 students
enrolled and it still feels very
much like a small community.
There has been no loss of
personal attention to students or
excellent instruction. I have no
doubt that even with the addition
of up to 80 more students across
7 grade levels (age 4 pre-K
through 5
th
grade), it will still be
the friendly vibrant school we all
love. My hope is that those who
dont like the size or appearance
of this building will remember
the important service it provides
for our community. Within the
confnes of a school building is
a place bustling with activity.
When we talk about SIES, we
need to remember the important
part is the inside of the building.
SIES has always had an excellent
inner life, while its outward
appearance has never been its
strong suit.
At the SITC meeting on October
18, a petition for a referendum for
a smaller school was presented.
The Charleston County School
Board has maintained its stance
that they are unwilling to build
a smaller school, and this stance
was reconfrmed through a vote
on September 13. The SI Town
Attorney said that a referendum
would not affect the lease that is
now in place. I certainly hope this
is true. I hope Town Council and
the Mayor of Sullivans Island are
able to bring residents together
on this issue. SIES is the kind
of school most people can only
dream of having within walking or
biking distance to their doorstep.
To throw this away because of an
unwillingness to bring in 80 more
students would be a tremendous
loss to Sullivans Island.

sland Facial Esthetics opened
as of October 12 at 2201
Middle Street on Sullivans
Island. Owner, Collette Curfman,
has been treating skin for the last
ten years with dermatologists
and plastic surgeons. She has
always wanted to open a facility
but the timing and location were
never right.
Collette moved in 2010 to
Charleston from Scottsdale,
AZ and has been coming to
Sullivans Island for the last
year. There is no other place
where you can go to the beach in
the morning and ride horses in
the afternoon, she says, which
are two of her passions besides
skincare.
Island Facial Esthetics offers
chemical peels, microderm
abrasion, acne treatments,
anti- aging facials, and teeth
whitening. She is currently
offering a free chemical peel
with the purchase of a tooth
whitening system.
For facial treatments, Collette
uses PCA Skin Care, a product-
line she personally tested at
a medical offce in Scottsdale,
AZ. As a result, Collette knows
the product line like the back
of [her hand]. PCA Skin Care
was developed using rigorous
research to develop safe, highly
effective products that deliver
healthy, beautiful skin. They
do not contain any synthetic
colors or fragrances, and were
not tested on animals. The
treatments focus on breaking
through the stratum corneum
(the outer layer of the skin) to
nourish the underlying dermis,
as opposed to simply stripping
away the surface.
The DaVinci teeth whitening
system is also unique. The all-
natural process whitens your
teeth using food-grade hydrogen
peroxide that not only beautifes
your smile, but strengthens and
rebuilds enamel on your teeth.
There is low to no sensitivity
or side effects to the whitening
treatment. The process only
takes about an hour and 20
minutes, so its easy to ft into
your day.
"With the teeth whitening, I
went from a 4 to a -1 with no
sensitivity," says Gina Rowe,
owner of Beauty and the Beach,
"The chemical peel was amazing,
too. I had no redness or faking.
Just beautiful skin."
There will be a Grand Opening
November 16 from 6 to 8 p.m.
Food, wine, and giveaways
will be offered, as well as more
information about PCA Skin Care
and DaVinci Teeth Whitening.

15 November 11, 2011
T
oday is Veterans Day, a
federal holiday and it is
being observed by the VFW
(Veterans of Foreign Wars) Post
3137 on the Isle of Palms. Please
join us in remembering our fallen,
supporting our troops either
from active wars or previous
campaigns, and helping those
veterans who are in need.
On Veterans Day, all active
duty personnel stopping by Post
3137 on the Isle of Palms will
receive their frst beverage free.
We salute all veterans whether
they had combat experience or
not. Veterans served to protect us
all. We say thank you!
The VFW is composed of three
member organizations, which
are the regular members, the
Ladies Auxiliary, and the Mens
Auxiliary. The three combine to
create VFW Post 3137, which is
located oceanfront, next door to
the Windjammer.
Regular members are those
who served overseas in a combat
zone. We are committed to
helping our fellow veterans and
post members. We have various
fundraisers to aid in our support
of different programs including
raising funds to help with the
new addition for homeless vets
at Charleston Interfaith Crisis
Ministries.
Also we support the 118
th

deployment, the upcoming Capt.
Richard Cliff Memorial Golf
Tournament held on November
11th, which in turn supports
Special Operations Warrior
Foundation and the Capt. Cliff
scholarship at Wando High
School. We put out fags every
Memorial Day at Mt. Pleasant
Memorial Gardens.
One of our members relates
that a simple thank you can
change the entire outcome of a
vets day. When I am thanked
for my service, he says, my
military pride that has been
buried emerges and I feel great.
Just knowing that others do care
about the combat hardships I
endured means more to me than
any other words.
Our oldest active member at
the VFW is Col. Joe Spann at
90 years old! He is a graduate
of the Citadel class of 1942 and
upon graduation the whole class
received their diplomas and
orders to ship out. No one went
home. He served in the Army Air
Corps and continued in the Army
for 20 years including time spent
in Alaska. He was also part of the
force that was going to invade
Japan prior to the end of the war.
He is a WWII veteran and a great
member of VFW Post 3137.
The Ladies Auxiliary of the
VFW Post 3137 on the Isle of
Palms honors our veterans in
many ways, sending personal
care packages, Girl Scout
cookies, and other donations to
our active duty troops in Iraq
and Afghanistan. They also make
donations and support various
other worthwhile programs, such
as the VA Childrens Hospital,
Wounded Warriors, military
suicide prevention, and programs
for homeless veterans. The Ladies
are looking forward to serving
the soon to be departing Mt.
Pleasant National Guard troops
for a special Family Day event
at the Armory on November 19
th
.
They appreciate and ask for the
continued support of the local
community at their monthly
appetizer events.
The Men's Auxiliary is composed
of 140 members who had
relatives serve in war. Their
main mission is to support
the Post and to provide
community service. Though
raffes, membership, and the
sale of shirts, the men raise
funds which are used to meet
the needs of the Post and to
contribute to outside causes
such as The Good Neighbor
Center, Low Country Honor
Flight, Family Readiness Unit,
Special Olympics, Threads for
Life, and The Marion Marauders.
They also participate in the Pearl
Harbor Day activities aboard
the Yorktown. In addition to
the monetary contributions, the
Men's Auxiliary also provides
manpower for events at the Post.
For more information about the
Isle of Palms VFW visit them on
Facebook.

AILY COMRUTER CORNER
A
s this week winds down,
I want to remind you
about security one more
time! Yes, I know I have done
several columns on this issue,
but it never hurts to be reminded
of the importance of keeping
your computer secure. Lets
talk about some things you can
do regularly to enhance your
security and safety while on the
net and afterwards.
First item is to always allow
updates for your Operating
System (OS). The OS can be
Windows based: XP, Vista or
Windows 7. If you have an
older version of Windows (2000,
Millennium, 98, 95) you really
need to come into the 21st
Century. You will see an icon
stating that updates are ready
for you and you NEED to let
the updates happen. You can
always schedule them to do so
in the middle of the night, but
you must leave the computer
on (not in sleep mode) for this
to happen. With Apple and
other OSs (yes there are plenty
of other free OSs) you need
to do updates when they are
offered. So remember: update
your computers OS for security
reasons. All OSs have glitches
and the updates correct them.
Second, almost all Windows
based computers use Java and
Adobe programs to either view
Internet sites or to view PDFs,
so if either program asks to be
updated, please do for the same
reasons. The people who make
these programs fnd errors and
the updates keep them from
being security problems.
Lastly update any programs
you have installed such as
Offce, Quicken, and Photoshop
to name a few. Allow them to
be updated automatically if you
can or do them when offered.
Again all software that you have
installed is what you should be
updating. You should keep a
list of what 3rd party (not your
OS) software is installed on your
computer, along with passwords
or keys to that software.
One other note, if you have
something asking you to update
but you dont know what it is,
DONT. Check to make sure
it is valid, or call me and just
ask. I would rather answer a
simple question than have you
install malicious software. If it
is something bad I can help with
the removal.
News Flash! Please be aware
that a nasty virus has been
unleashed very recently and
has already hit tqo local people.
Make sure your anti-virus
software is up to date and do
not install anything you do not
recognize! This virus will pop
up 20-30 notifcations and then
show a fake virus cleaner that
says you have lots of problems.
IT is the problem!
If you have any problems,
questions, etc. about your
particular needs do not hesitate to
contact me at 822.7794 or email
at rentabob@live.com.

Indonesian airlines are named
Garuda, after the eagle god from
the Ramayana, Indias ancient
epic story of the battle between
good and evil. On the way to
Ubud, one of the main spiritual
tourism centers, a giant statue of
Krishna accompanied by Arjuna
pays tribute to another Indian
spiritual text, the Bhagavad Gita.
Buddhist statues, fertility temples
and a mosque also revealed the
islands spiritual beliefs.
The hotel where we stayed
the frst nights was called Puri
Sarawasti, meaning Goddess
Sarawasti. Sarawasti is the
Hindu equivalent of all of the
Greek muses rolled into one. As
a writer, seeing my name on the
drivers sign at the airport Puri
Sarawasti, Debra Mofftt, gave
me shivers of pleasure. I keep an
image of Sarawasti near my desk.
Shes playing her Indian-style
lute sitting on a lotus. The hotel
was next to the Sarawasti temple
where two basins bigger than
Olympic-size swimming pools
were flled with pink lotus the size
of dinner plates. Sarawasti was a
powerful inspiration there. Being
in the lush orchid-clad inner
courtyard of the hotel inspired me
to wake up early every morning
to refect and write on my next
book, Journey into the Secret
Garden, which explores creativity
and inspiration.
From Ubud we travelled
to Mimpi Resort crossing the
volcanic mountain range that
took us up to about 6,000 feet
in altitude. Spring-green rice
felds spread out in terraces
spiked with royal palms and
the temperature dropped. The
driver took a break at a spice
and coffee plantation where the
famous, coffee Kopi Luwak was
made. This is the Bucket List
coffee thats deep, black in hue
and richer and smoother than
any other in the world. It sells for
up to $160 a pound. The coffee
beans are ingested by a palm
civet, then the intact berries are
recuperated at the other end,
roasted and ground. Its a slow-
food lovers dream.
The fnal stop in Bali has
become one of my favorite places
in the world Five Elements.
Five Elements is more than just
a resort. Its an invitation to walk
on sacred ground. Built next to
a village of two hundred people
on a river outside of Ubud, Five
Elements defnes itself as a place
of transformation that offers,
Balinese healing, living foods,
and sacred arts. As someone
who frequently writes about
sacred spaces and architecture,
this is one of the most inspiring,
natural and feminine places Ive
seen.
Janur, Guest Liason, for Five
Elements, described its three
principles. It aims to promote
harmony between human and
God, between human and human,
and between human and nature.
Journeys can also be healing
too. The potent energy of this
place along with a session with a
Balinese healer and the inspiration
of being around Kathryn Peters,
made it a perfect way to complete
the stay. The return home from
this heroines journey is flled with
new energy and new possibilities
all the elixir anyone would want to
bring back.

Elizabeth has been focusing a lot on her songwriting this year and
just performed her new song Welcome Home Soldier Song at the
Windjammer last week. She was inspired to write this after the 10

A
s American Brad Van Liew
readied himself for the
ultimate solo challenge of
circling the globe under sail, his
children had questions. Wyatt,
6, asked about the weather and
the sharks. His daughter, Tate,
8, wanted to know why he had
to go. She also wondered about
the oceans he would be crossing
and what might happen at sea.
The unpredictable environment
worried her. Before Van Liew
raced across the start line
in france young Tate asked
her father if he would take
a moment at the equator to
send off a message in a bottle
from her, with the hopes that
it might be found some day
and she would know where it
traveled.
Despite the racing, Tate's
message was a priority as Van
Liew crossed the equator. He
videotaped himself sending off
the message, knowing full well
it may never reach another
human and Tates questions
may go unanswered.
Nine months later the delicate
glass bottle had acquired
some barnacles and seagrass
before washing onto the small,
secluded beach of Guana Bay
on the island of St. Maarten in
the Caribbean. Seven year old
Michael raczynski, a 2
nd
grader
and a karate enthusiast from
the Warsaw suburbs of Poland,
found the bottle and opened it
to fnd Tate's message.
When the Van Liews received
a letter at their home in Mt.
Pleasant with a return address
that indicated a sender in
Poland, they were surprised
to fnd the letter addressed
to Tate. In the letter, Michael
raczynski explained that his
family regularly searches the
beach for 'pirate treasure' and
found the bottle amongst the
shells and rocks. Enclosed were
photos of the bottle, Van Liews
letter written for Tate and a
photo of the beach landing
sight and Michael. In an e-mail
exchange since receiving the
news of the message in a bottle,
Zbigniew raczynski noted, I
said many times you never
know whom you will meet and
what will be tomorrow.

n volatile times, such as these, market watchers are bombarded
with a wide range of conficting opinions. One expert highlights
the attractive investment values available while another similarly
qualifed authority forecasts the imminent end to investment
valuations as we know them. So whats an investor to do? How can
perfectly priced, liquid markets jump around so much?
This article outlines two principles that may drive the day-to-day
machinations of many markets: Fundamentals and Sentimentals.
We tend to be guided by fundamentals as this is what we believe
drives markets over the medium to long-term. However, Sentiment
drags market prices away from the levels suggested by fundamentals.
This can create short-term volatility which makes markets look bipolar
at best; chaotic at worse.
How Fundamentals & sentimentals work togetHer
Superfcially, the price of a group of securities, commonly defned
as a market, should be set by its underlying fundamentals. There
should be some set of core numerical data that dictates buy and sell
prices. Stock markets are often valued according to the outlook for
Price/Earnings Ratio (often closely related to the prospects for GDP
growth as when the Global economy is slowing, its harder to increase
corporate revenues and earnings).
So, lets assume the current market price refects what is currently,
and fundamentally, known to all: GDP Growth across the globe is
slowing, unemployment is too high, the housing market is showing no
sign of improvement, Greece cannot repay its debt, and the European
banking system is undercapitalized.
If everyone possesses the above information and no new fundamental
data is known, the fair value of a specifc market index should not
change unless the data changes or new data comes along. So why do
we see the wild swings which are now commonplace?
Sentiment causes many of the wild swings in market price we have
been experiencing. Lets look at some recent examples:
tHe story so Far
Fundamental data sets an equilibrium price and outlook for a
market.
Sentiment creates short-term market deviation from the
equilibrium, but the longer and deeper the market strays from
the equilibrium, the more it wants to get back to fundamental
valuations.
Equilibrium valuation levels can change based on changes in
fundamental data.
Markets tend to follow Fundamentals over the long term.
Current Position
Fundamental data is still pointing to a much slower recovery, but
not a deep return to recession. Recent volatility has been based
on sentiment not changes in the underlying fundamentals. U.S.
earnings reporting season is upon us; if the numbers and guidance
are fairly good, many markets will look fundamentally undervalued,
even if sentiment remains depressed. Although overall earnings may
not impress, there are still many U.S. companies operating in high
growth markets who should impress.

O
ne of falls greatest pleasures is a
bonfre on the beach. Whats better
than smores, hotdogs on sticks,
maybe some guitars or drumming? This
adventure doesnt even require a long road
trip. Although most local beaches do not
allow fres, you can get a permit to have fres
on Sullivans or Capers Islands.
Having a party on the beach eliminates
the need to clean house, cook an elaborate
meal and get dressed up. All ages enjoy it.
After hosting dozens of pot luck parties and
bonfres on the Sullivans Island beach, my
family has this down to a science. With our
wide-tire wagon we can haul a folding table,
trash can, cooler full of food, baskets of paper
goods, drinks, bocce game, chairs, tablecloth
and a backpack of sweaters in one trip. Its
like a Chinese puzzle. Once the wagon is
empty, we use it to haul frewood from the
car. Vehicles are not allowed on the beach.
Earlier in the day, we dig a hole for the
fre. That shields it from the wind and makes
it easier to bury afterwards. We make our
hole about fve feet in diameter and about
two feet deep. Stacking the wood in a teepee
arrangement with lots of fat lighter or a Dura-
log in the middle gets it started quickly. Its
tricky to bring just enough wood to burn that
night because you dont want to haul any back
and you cant leave it on the beach. Bring a
large shovel to bury the fre at 11 p.m. when
the permit expires. Sand buckets double for
hauling water to put the fre out easily.
Our friends love these parties and bring
fabulous food that can be eaten cold or
heated on the fre. Some tips are to bring
garbage bags and recycling containers and
get the guests help in carrying trash and
leftover food back up. Make sure to check
the tide chart and set up where you wont
be swamped by incoming tide or the wake of
passing freighters. We learned this the hard
way when we lost all of our fried chicken (but
saved the brownies thank goodness). On one
particularly memorable occasion, we stood in
awe as the harvest moon rose hugely on one
horizon and the sun set on the other. Thats
the kind of night that makes you grateful to
live in South Carolina.
Anyone, even non-residents of Sullivans
Island, can get a bonfre permit at Town Hall.
The permit is free but a security deposit is
required. Island property owners pay a
deposit of $250, whereas non-residents pay
$500. Youre only charged if you disobey
the rules, otherwise the money is refunded
afterwards. Youll need to indicate a location,
clean up completely afterwards, and not
include alcohol or loud music. Once the
permit application is flled out, you must
obtain a signature from
the Towns Fire
Department and
return it with the
deposit to Town Hall.
Bring a copy of the
permit to the fre site.
Its not uncommon for
the police to patrol the
beach. This permit
process can take a
couple of days and they
arent issued in cases
of severe drought or fre
danger. Cancellations
are possible when
there are strong winds,
food tides or other
conditions.
On Capers Island,
you must have a
camping permit to stay
overnight. Permits are free. With that permit,
youre allowed to have an Indian fre, or
a small bonfre. The number of permits is
limited and they very popular during the fall.
Of course, youll need a private boat to get to
Capers Island, which is two islands north of
Isle of Palms. An authentic South Carolina
experience was a camping trip we took there
with another family and our boatload of kids.
While we women set up camp, the men went
out and got bushels of fresh oysters, which we
cooked over the campfre that night. What
an adventure! Reservations for camping at
Capers Island are made through the Dept. of
Natural Resources at 843-953-9360.
There are not many places on the coast
where bonfres on the beach are permitted
and those of us lucky enough to live here can
enjoy this close-by adventure with just a little
effort and planning. Its an opportunity to
have simple, wholesome fun with family and
friends and enjoy the natural beauty of South
Carolina.
