Councilman John Gregg reported that the Public Safety Committee has completed its review of the proposed changes to the Town’s Comprehensive Emergency Plan and forwarded its recommendations to the consultant coordinating the work, adding that he expects a full package of plan updates to be returned by the end of May. He said the next meeting of the Disaster Recovery Council (DRC, which includes representatives from the Town, SIPOA, the Seabrook Island Club, Bohicket Marina, Camp St. Christopher, and St. Johns Fire District) will be on June 6 and 7. On June 7, the DRC will participate in the Charleston County hurricane exercise designed to focus on pre-landfall activities.

The Region’s Most Esteemed Automobiles Convene for the Second Annual Cars on Kiawah.
Over 200 exceptional automobiles owned by collectors throughout the Southeast, will be showcased at the 2017 Cars on Kiawah on Saturday, May 6 from 10:00am-3:00pm at the unparalleled setting of Kiawah’s scenic Ocean Park. This premier car show is open to the public and admission is free. Major sponsors of the event include the Town of Kiawah Island, Kiawah Island Real Estate, the Kiawah Island Golf Resort and the Kiawah Island Community Association.
Last week, a group of SINHGers headed all the way north to Harleyville to visit Beidler Forest, a 1,800-hundred acre Audubon preserve that sits within the immense Four Holes Swamp. At this time of year, it’s absolutely beautiful, and perhaps more importantly, the very particular nesting grounds of the Prothonotary Warbler. No pun intended, but people literally flock to Beidler from around the world to capture images of this bird in the wild. Indeed, while we were there, several very determined and expensive tripods and cameras jostled by us in pursuit of this elusive quarry.
Beginning on Monday, May 1, SIPOA will begin a road median striping project. The scope of this work will include repainting all of the striping around center medians on the island. We will be using a reflective thermoplastic paint to help with night time visibility. We do not anticipate any road closures, but traffic may be slowed down to allow the painting crew and their equipment adequate space to work. Please exercise caution and drive safely if you encounter this crew working on our roadways

A DNR team will be on our Atlantic beach at the east end toward Kiawah trapping Red Knots for banding tomorrow around morning high tide (10-12 noon). They’ll be using cannon nets, which is interesting, a lot of work, and about 50% successful. So, if you see them, please give them room and don’t be startled by the noise if they actually set them off. Also, Janet Thibault (the team leader) is looking for some volunteer help. If you’re interested, send her an e-mail: thibaultj@dnr.sc.gov

Have you ever wondered about the people behind the news voices you hear on South Carolina Public Radio? What does it mean when you hear “South Carolina Public Radio’s Alexandra Olgin reports…” on an NPR broadcast? Are you curious about what it takes to deliver high-quality radio journalism in 2017?
Seabrook and Kiawah residents are cordially invited to join the ETV Endowment and South Carolina Public Radio for a special conversation and reception with Alexandra Olgin and Russ McKinney. Alexandra is based in Charleston and covers the Lowcountry. Dozens of her South Carolina reports have been broadcast nationally on NPR.
