Windows License Expiration Scam

Calls are being received that claim that ‘your’ Windows license has expired. At this time, and with possible exceptions of some enterprise and/or academic licenses, Windows licenses do not expire.

Windows will stop supporting older versions of Windows after several years. However, your are free to keep that Windows on your machine–the license has not expired.

Please do not fall for this scam.

Also, I recommend reporting the caller to the FCC. This is easily done by searching for “FCC Complaint”. You will be taken to a government site and an on-line form will be displayed. This form will ask for information about the caller, and you. Please record the caller id information and if the message asks you to call another number, record that as well. These will requested in the form.

Thanks.

Letter to the Editor – Roads

letter-clipart-dirp445i9

 

The road situation on Johns Island is criminal in it’s inadequacy. Sixteen years ago Main, River and Bohicket roads were deemed to be 3 of 4 of the unsafest roads in the tri-county area, yet nothing has been done to alleviate the situation, over the years their ranking has not improved.
SCDOT and Charleston County have been negligent in their ignoring of this situation.
The flooding of October 2015 was 6″ from completely isolating Johns Island from fire and EMS services other than the facilities also trapped on the island. This is not acceptable behavior on the part of our elected officials and SCDOT.
The common slogan of individuals is that any improvements are only for the benefit of the residents of Seabrook and Kiawah Islands. As anyone analyzed this statement? It is preposterous.
The residents of Johns Island that live deep in the island travel the same inadequate roads and are susceptible to the same dangers that the SBI and KI residents are exposed too. Are their lives of a lesser value?
I-526 it seems will not be built but I would never vote for a tax increase unless there was a law binding commitment to improve the safety of Johns Island roads, be it through widening of existing roads or a cross island greenway.
You attention to this matter is of the gravest urgency.

Welcome April Goyer- New Tidelines Columnist

April

We at Tidelines are delighted to introduce you to April Goyer, someone many of you may already know. April has owned property on Seabrook since 2002 and has lived here full time for the last several years. She is a life coach, health coach and personal trainer. She spends much of her professional time training at the Lake House.

April and I discussed the kinds of articles she will be providing. She told me this story, which has bearing on her writing: A number of years ago, April developed a deep respect for being strong. She had been battling degenerative disc disease for some time. In fact at age forty, she was diagnosed as having the discs of a person in her eighties. April’s physician prescribed weight lifting as a last ditch effort before taking the next step of surgery. What she did not realize is how profoundly weight lifting would change her, both inside and out. Not only did she virtually eliminate the pain and problems with her neck; equally as important, she developed a sense of control, empowerment, and self -confidence, the likes of which she had not experienced before in her life. She described it as the feeling that she could do anything and her body and mind would support her.

Since that time, April has used her strength to perform at higher and higher levels both personally and professionally. Her health has given her the stamina, confidence, and creativity to live life fully engaged. She now coaches and trains clients to do the same. Her articles will help readers become more physically capable, emotionally connected and mentally focused.

We look forward to having April as a regularly contributing writer to Tidelines.

Watch for Aprilfit: The art of strong living coming soon.

Turtle Patrol Weekly Summary 7/10/16

Monday, July 4 – All zones reported in with no new activity.  Zone 1 reports tent city is back including meat left on the grill.  Zone 2 reports no change in Nest 2. Nest 9 was possibly washed over

Happy 4th!


Tuesday, July 5 – Zone 1 no activity .  Zone 2 lots of trash, all the nests look good. Zone 3 in and out near walk # 4 hit the myrtles, crawled down 50 feet hit the myrtles again and left.  Zone 3 Crab hole in nest # 3.

We need more July nests. We need to wake those girls up and get them laying nests.

Have a great day. It is a hot one.

 

Wednesday, July 6 – Today brought a plethora of false crawls and a paucity of nests. The false crawls won 4 to 0.

Tomorrow will be a  nest day!

 

Thursday, July 7 -Anne Snelgrove, Melanie Jerome and Gayle Evans started their walk onnest #44 7-16
Zone 1 with a crawl right into the tent city that has been left on the beach. Bill and Eileen Middleton responded. The mama had crawled around a chair and over an air mattress to lay Nest #44 which was left in situ. (Security was called (again) about tent city and they were issued a citation.)

Further down the beach by the boats of Camp St. Christopher, they found a second crawl. The Middletons found Nest #45 and with the help of the walkers moved the 115 eggs to their new home above the high tide line.nest #45 7-16

The walkers also reported an indentation in nest #1.

Meanwhile, Terry Fansler, Gloria Reynolds and the junior Turtle Patrol reported a crawl in front of the Beach Club Villas. Terry had to also be first responder and Bill Nelson came in to assist but alas, it was a false crawl.

Deb Wiehn and Christine Miniman on Zone 3 won the most crawls for the day award. First was an obvious false crawl in front of the myrtles near Boardwalk 2. Their second crawl was at Boardwalk 3. That mama came in before high tide and went into the myrtles, turned, went THROUGH the myrtles, over a dune, crossed Boardwalk 3 and went back to the sea, Judy Morr had no luck as first responder and declared that also was a false crawl. Another 20 yards down the beach, still in the myrtles was yet another false crawl.

Finally, Deb and Christine’s fourth crawl of the morning was about nest #46 7-16200 yards north of Boardwalk 6. Judy Morr was the first responder and found Nest #46. Deb and Christine moved the 95 eggs to a safer location just south of boardwalk 4.

A busy morning with 7 crawls but at least we had 3 nests. Good job by all!

 

Friday, July 8 – Zone 1 was the lucky zone today. Jacquie DePalma, Cathrine Scully and Sara Klauber along with Jacquie’s granddaughter Audrey Sanderson found a crawl 200 yards south of the vehicle entrance. Bill Greubel responded and found Nest #47. The 93 eggs were moved further south to about 20 yards north of the last trash can. This is Jacquie’s first nest where she and the crew assisted in moving the eggs. Will Klauber brought the kids from the Camp down to “supervise” the move.

Zone 2 reported that Nest 2 is still sleeping nicely.

Zone 3 had an obvious false crawl near Boardwalk 3 where the mama only made it about halfway to the dunes before something convinced her to turn around and go back to sea.

Zone 4 reported (again) small crab holes in Nest 3. Those babies need to hatch before the crabs get into creating bigger access tunnels.

A good Friday that will hopefully be the start of a busy weekend. Have a good one!

 

Saturday, July 9 – The only activity was a false in and out crawl on zone 3. She didn’t even get to the myrtles.

Harvey and Jen Gibson did some PHAT work on the low numbered nests.

Terry Fansler, Sandy MacCoss and I marked several places on all zones where we can move nests when we get more.

Those girls are being stingy with nests this year. 47 nests and 66 false crawls. They must not like our beach this year and are having a hard time finding nest sites. We have marked areas for nests. We need to tell them to look for blue flags.

Have a great weekend and try to keep cool…


Sunday, July 10 – Zone 4, Joshua and Amanda Shilko win todaynest #48 7-16 with a crawl in the bird area. Jen Gibson found nest # 48. The 124 eggs were moved to south of the second dog sign.

Zone 1 The McBrides had a in and out, She never got to soft sand.

Zone 2 Karen Sewell softened the sand of nest #9 from yesterdays rain.

Zone 3 Susie Firesheets softened the sand on the low number nests

That’s all Folks. Enjoy the day.
