Abridged Environmental Committee Minutes, October 9

Posted on October 15, 2018 by

Steve Hirsch presented a proposal to rent a new compactor for the maintenance area. The old rented compactor has needed frequent repairs. The 2019 cost will increase by $120 per month. The proposal to include this additional expense in next year’s budget was approved by the committee.

Steve Hirsch reported that a new Landscaping Contract will be adopted in 2019. SIPOA sent out 6 invitations and received 3 bids. The low bid came from the present company, The Greenery, and was about $10,000 less than the current cost. The Committee approved a 2-year contract with The Greenery with an option to renew for the 3rd year.

Roger Banks has been sporadically receiving wildlife reports through the SIPOA website. There are a total of 8 bobcats on Seabrook Island. This includes 5 adults and 3 kittens. There have been several sightings reported of our 3 Piebald deer and armadillos are now calling Seabrook Island home. Committee members will write a ‘Wild Things’ article to be published in December to explain how to report sightings on the SIPOA page and to encourage residents to use the form. There have been many photos of our wildlife posted on Next Door and these photographers will be encouraged to also send in a sighting form. This reporting form includes an address which will be used when mapping the locations of wildlife.

There is a small tree down on the Hidden Oaks Nature Trail. Steve Hirsch will make sure Maintenance removes the tree from the path.

A review of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) website by Barry Shedrow shows no substantive change in the following projects: (a) Proposed Path Forward for Future Offshore Renewable Energy on the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf, (b) Draft Proposed Program for the 2019-2024 Outer Continental Shelf Oil and Gas Leasing Program, and (c) Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement for the 2019-2024 Program.  BOEM is presently reviewing nine permit applications to conduct oil and gas exploration-related activities along the Atlantic OCS.

With the help of Jim Jordan, the deer population was surveyed in September, the population seems to be down. Another survey will take place in early November. At that time a decision will be made on how many, if any, deer need to be culled. It was noted that some residents feel the population has grown based on the number seen in their yard and neighborhood. Deer tend to stay in the same area and we are continuously seeing the same small herds.

Drayton Hall Pottery, Shoes and Paths to Freedom October 25

Posted on October 15, 2018 by

charleston sc october events

Join The Charleston Museum and Drayton Hall for a lecture by Dr. Lindsay Bloch, from Florida Museum of Natural History, on Thursday, October 25, from 5:30 pm – 6:30 pm. In 1768, with an eye towards revolution, Benjamin Franklin urged, “Let us industriously manufacture what we can for ourselves.” In cities, towns, and on plantations, makers and artisans of all kinds worked to produce items that offered a path to greater economic independence. At times, such trades also provided a means for personal independence of enslaved people. In this talk, Dr. Bloch will discuss two crafts: earthenware pottery and shoemaking. Drawing on archaeological materials and documentary evidence such as runaway slave ads and store accounts, she will explain how pots and shoes became material markers of freedom in Early America. This lecture is free and registration is encouraged.

Please note: This lecture will take place at the Charleston Museum located at 
360 Meeting Street, Charleston, South Carolina 29403.

Lindsay Bloch (Ph.D., The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, 2015) is the Collections Manager of the Ceramic Technology Laboratory and Florida Archaeology at the Florida Museum of Natural History. Her research focuses on craft production, trade, and exchange in historic and prehistoric contexts through the lens of utilitarian ceramics, with a particular focus on plantations of the Atlantic World.

Family Soul Healing Through The Constellation Approach – November 5

Posted on October 14, 2018 by

Presented by: Kathy Maher, Family Constellation Therapist

Monday, November 5th
3:00PM to 4:30 PM
Live Oak Hall of The Lake House

Come experience the possibilities of healing through your family lineage. Family Constellation is a therapeutic modality developed by Bert Hellinger.

Presenter, Kathy Maher studied this work in a three year program through the Constellation Immersion Program and it has had a powerful impact. This form of healing allows us to identify old destructive patterns in our families and make new positive changes by resolving entanglements. It helps us gain insight into our own blocks and loyalties to our families so we can have resolution, healing and more compassion for our families and ourselves.

Join Kathy Maher for a presentation of this work with the option of staying at the end to experience the work yourself. A short meditation will be part of the presentation, as well.

For more information, please contact Kathy Maher at eksdmaher@aol.com.

Thank you!
