Notes From <strong>The</strong><br />
Publisher<br />
We are Happy Together,<br />
Come Rain or Come Shine.<br />
That was a tune written<br />
by Johnny Mercer. His<br />
Uncle had a place on the<br />
May River and Johnny<br />
was said to come to<br />
Bluffton often; fishing,<br />
crabbing, boating and<br />
play piano. One night<br />
on a full moon, it is said that<br />
he was inspired to write his most notable<br />
piece, Moon River.<br />
What brought that to mind was the Art and Seafood<br />
Festival in Bluffton, and weddings, and reunions,<br />
anniversaries, birthday parties…as mother nature took<br />
over last month.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Breeze</strong> got up at the crack of dawn Sunday, set up<br />
our tent, table, sweet tea pitcher, and dog water bowl<br />
and waited. Well let me tell you, it was like a symphony.<br />
Like people coming out of a hibernation and working its<br />
ways to a crescendo.<br />
Thousands of folks. You could always tell those from the<br />
Midwest or North as they were in short sleeve shirts and<br />
shorts, locals in a light sweater and shorts…and I mean<br />
that in a nice way.<br />
And the dogs! We saw Taz, in his dog trailer towed by<br />
a Harley. That was one festival that everyone loved.<br />
Families and kids and babies in strollers…I even saw one<br />
gentleman pushing his own wheel chair.<br />
Hats off to the Town and the Staff, <strong>The</strong> Old Town<br />
Merchants Association and especially Mary O’Neal and<br />
her army of volunteers. For <strong>The</strong> <strong>Breeze</strong> we met so many<br />
old friends and new. Last but not least the quality and<br />
variety of music venues, the food, the shops on Calhoun<br />
and the star of it all being the artists and their work. This<br />
was clearly a time where Bluffton showed her real face<br />
and why we are all here.<br />
We are thankful, on this month of tradition, for all of our<br />
dedicated readers. Tell our advertisers you saw them<br />
in <strong>The</strong> <strong>Breeze</strong> and if they are not advertising, tell them<br />
they should be.<br />
Read on my friends, read on!<br />

<strong>The</strong> Heroes of Sun City<br />
A Tribute for Veterans from <strong>The</strong> <strong>Breeze</strong><br />
By: Arnold Rosen<br />
<strong>The</strong> world wars are long gone, but we are not without global conflict. <strong>The</strong> new war is more random. It takes place in<br />
the mountains of Afghanistan and in cities across the world. It is characterized by enemies who do not play by any<br />
rules. That unreal day of 9-11 symbolizes how a single tragic event is able to bring out the resolve of a nation. And<br />
for that reason it will always be remembered.<br />
December is when we remember Pearl Harbor. A different era. A different war. A seemingly long time ago. This was<br />
an event that we were equally unprepared for. A moment that symbolizes the will of all Americans to rise up and fight<br />
for what is right, and do it with total commitment.<br />
So we would like to use December to honor an individual that captures the spirit of war heroism. For our readers at<br />
Sun City, please forgive us. You know all about Arnold Rosen and what he writes. Many of you have been the subject<br />
of his writings. But we believe the world should know. Because he has made the sacrifice (beyond serving in our<br />
armed forces) of chronicling the amazing stories of our veterans. <strong>The</strong> titles of two riveting books,“Keeping Memories<br />
Alive” and “Before It’s Too Late” make his purpose clear ... and it is quite remarkable that all of his stories come from<br />
people living in Sun City.<br />
When you read these books you will be reminded how war brings out amazing facets of human nature. You will<br />
laugh, cry and sit on the edge of your seats in suspense. You will appreciate the bravery of these men and women by<br />
the simple truth that they were the very, very lucky ones that made it back.<br />
Mr. Rosen is a great writer, interviewer and editor. He makes it easy for us to<br />
soak in the heroism. He also makes it clear that the heroes of war are not just<br />
those in the front line, but all those who came together in support of the cause.<br />
He is extremely sensitive in his work. As he says in one of his introductions,<br />
“One of the greatest privileges I’ve had in my five years living in Sun City has<br />
been meeting so many veterans. <strong>The</strong>ir aging bodies may be frail, their faces may<br />
be lined with wrinkles and marked with age spots, but they tell their stories with<br />
pride and humility”. Here are just a few snippets of the stories he shares:<br />
(Note the titles are ours.)<br />

<strong>The</strong> Immense Loss<br />
I got up early Sunday morning, December 7 1941. ...<br />
still a little groggy after a late night party. I walked out<br />
on the fantail ... and noticed huge splashes in the water<br />
around us. I asked the OD “What the hell is going<br />
on here?” He said, “Oh that’s them old PBYs of ours<br />
dropping water bombs.” About that time I hear the<br />
roar of engines and bullets were flying everywhere,<br />
ricocheting off the decks and walls. We saw the<br />
low-flying Japanese torpedo planes all around us and<br />
the OD and I dove down the hatch ... another sailor<br />
and I went to the armament room and found a .30<br />
caliber machine gun. We didn’t have anything else,<br />
most of the guns and ammo had been removed the<br />
day before because of the visit -- get this -- of some<br />
foreign ministers and a deputy ambassador of Japan.<br />
We were like sitting ducks -- flags, banners, awnings<br />
-- but not guns or ammo. My sailor buddy tried to get<br />
that machine gun to work but we couldn’t; it never<br />
had been fired. I looked north across the channel and<br />
<strong>The</strong> Hardship<br />
My worst memories of combat were trying to survive from the cold. I was cold, cold, cold! We couldn’t carry<br />
much equipment in our backpack for warmth. I didn’t have a heavy coat, just a field jacket and I was freezing. <strong>The</strong><br />
Army tried to ship us overcoats but they never arrived. We just had to huddle together to keep warm. I remember<br />
taking off my paratroop boots on night. My buddy told me, “Don’t do that, Bob, you’ll freeze!” But my feet were so<br />
cold I took my boots off anyway to rub my feet. <strong>The</strong> next morning the boots were frozen solid and it took a long<br />
time to soften them up to get them back on. I’m still cold, after all these years! It’s up here (Bob points to his head.)<br />
Bob Holly<br />
He left on our fourth wedding anniversary when he got his notice to serve. I was six months pregnant and they<br />
gave him a deferent until the baby was born. We had our first and only child, Arla, in March 1943. What was<br />
ahead of me? I was frightened ... I remember crying all day trying to figure out a budget of $78 a month. Where<br />
would I live and how would I care for the baby? Allotment checks were the same every month, although there was<br />
one stretch where I didn’t get a cent from August to February. I thought we were going to starve! When I finally<br />
got the back money, it was like hitting the lottery.<br />
Jean and Sylvester Crumlich<br />
Mixed Fortunes<br />
saw the battleship Arizona destroyed and sinking in a<br />
fiery blaze ... I could hear the moans of the wounded<br />
and dying around me, and curses of men who flailed<br />
helplessly at the Japanese.<br />
Edmund (Gene) McGuire<br />
<strong>The</strong> pilot shouted for us to get ready for a crash landing. I quickly strapped our radio operator into his seat, opened<br />
the ceiling escape hatch and fell to the floor bracing my back against the pilot’s bulkhead. My future looked bleak.<br />
I didn’t know of a single survivor from any past B-26 crash. Yet I felt strangely peaceful. My only regret was for my<br />
parents, as I pictured them receiving the inevitable ”missing in action” and, later, “killed in action” notices.<br />
<strong>The</strong> plane smashed into the Maas River at 250 miles an hour and split in half on impact. <strong>The</strong> front section sank like<br />
a submarine in a few seconds. I was underwater but able to stand on the plane’s floor and push our radio operator<br />
out of the hatch ahead of me. We struggled to the surface fore air. In a moment, our pilot and co-pilot burst to the<br />
surface and the four of us swam towards shore. Our turret and tail gunners never made it out of the Marauder.<br />
When we reached the river’s bank, a young German officer was waiting. He pointed his rifle at us and in perfect<br />
English stated: “For you I think the war is over.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> Unexpected<br />
I was sharing a foxhole I dug with my buddy, Robert Young. We covered it with<br />
logs and branches. One night it was late and we didn’t have time to cover the hole,<br />
we just hunkered down in our sleeping bags and suddenly awoke to an artillery<br />
barrage. A tree, hit by a shell, burst and landed on my buddy. It killed him instantly.<br />
I reached over and tried to revive him but he wasn’t moving. I was in shock.<br />
Bob Holly<br />
My Dad and his crew suddenly sustained a tremendous explosion. <strong>The</strong> tank crew<br />
didn’t know what hit them. It was an 88 round that pierced the front armor plate.<br />
Everyone else in his tank got killed, but luckily Dad, in the turret, got blown clear.<br />
During the attack he was wounded in his leg by a bullet. <strong>The</strong> doctor told him to put<br />
in for a Purple Heart award but he denied the incident—he never admitted he got<br />
shot, nor did he ever tell me he got shot until about 2000. “Yeah,” he said, “I got shot.<br />
(But) I never really told anybody.” He pointed to his leg and showed me his scar. He<br />
turned down a Purple Heart because, he said, the wound wasn’t bad enough.<br />
George Hawley in the words of his son, Wayne<br />
We worked in a secure building at Bainbridge Island, intercepting and copying Japanese transmissions. <strong>The</strong>se<br />
messages were from shore to ship or ship to ship. <strong>The</strong> high-powered antennas allowed us to listen in to their<br />
broadcasts throughout most of the Pacific Ocean. After a while, you got to know the particular idiosyncrasies of<br />
the sender and could identify him without having met him. I would copy the same sender for a long time, which<br />
had a real advantage because you just knew (especially if he had a stutter in his transmission) who he was. On<br />
my last day the Japanese sender broke into English (in Morse code): “SAVE O SAVE! WE ARE SINKING!” His<br />
ship was in the midst of battle and it was going down. I almost felt like I was losing a friend. Elaine Barlett<br />
We had Christmas dinner on the line and I remember that I got about 20 packages,<br />
which I opened and shared with everybody. <strong>The</strong> Germans were on a hill near us<br />
and they were singing Christmas carols in German and we were on anther hill—we<br />
could hear them.<br />
Bob Holly<br />
<strong>The</strong> Air Corps sent us to Hunter Field in Savannah, Georgia and we picked up a<br />
“spanking new” B-25 bomber ... (they) had the WASP (Women’s Air Force Service<br />
Plots) ferry planes from the factories to stateside military bases. <strong>The</strong>se women<br />
flew every airplane in the USAAF’s inventory, including half of all pursuit planes<br />
delivered during the war. I would see a tiny, 100 pound woman sitting in the cockpit<br />
of one of these big four-engine bombers. It was an amazing sight!<br />
George Scuffos<br />
<strong>The</strong> Humor<br />
<strong>The</strong> captain ordered all crew to abandon ship. <strong>The</strong>re were 2,000 of us in the water ... Some were in rafts: many<br />
others were floating aimlessly. We had an executive officer who was a regulation guy, a stickler for proper uniform<br />
attire. White socks were a ‘no-no’ for him. Everyone had to wear black socks. <strong>The</strong>re was a fireman in the water<br />
with us, an Olympic swimmer. Our stickler exec was on the life raft with 20 other guys who were all standing up.<br />
<strong>The</strong> raft was under water. <strong>The</strong>y yelled to the swimmer, ‘Come on aboard!’ <strong>The</strong> fireman yelled back, ‘I can’t! I got<br />
white socks on!’ And away he went.<br />
Bud Ledbetter<br />
<strong>The</strong> government was drafting men into the Marines, Army and Navy. When Jim arrived, they had four lines—<br />
Marine, Navy, Army and Coast Guard. <strong>The</strong>y placed him in the Marine Corps line. Jim asked the guy alongside,<br />
“Do you want to go into the Marines?” “Yeah!” he said. <strong>The</strong>y switched places and that is how Jim entered the Navy.<br />

I went back to Guam for R&R. That was a joke! <strong>The</strong>y packed us a lunch -- sandwiches, cokes and a couple of beers.<br />
We played softball with the crew of another ship for about 3 or 4 innings and then they chased us back to our ship<br />
to make room for another crew coming in for R&R.<br />

When his children asked (Major General Close) what his medals were for, he explained as he pointed to them.<br />
“This one was for brushing my teeth every day; this one was for polishing my shoes and this one for making the<br />
bed.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> Romance<br />
Mildred Pickers was a nurse at the Perth Amboy hospital, when I arrived. <strong>The</strong> surgery was successful. While I was<br />
recovering I was attended by several other nurses. One morning I had the following exchange with another nurse:<br />
“You Know Miss Pickers? I want to take her out for a date!!”<br />
“No, I don’t think so!”<br />
“Will you ask her?”<br />
“No, not me!”<br />
“You ask her”<br />
“No!”<br />
I finally told her (halfheartedly in jest), “You ask her today. If you don’t I’m going to grab hold of you!”<br />
Mildred walked into the room and said to me, “I hear you want a date with me?” I said, “Yeah; what’s wrong with<br />
that? She says, “Nothing; but I’m too old for you; I’m older than you are!”<br />
“So what; I don’t care. I still want to go out with you.”<br />
I was in the hospital for about a week. A day before I was to be discharged, I asked her, “Do we have a date?” She<br />
says, “Oh, all right!” We were married for 59 years.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Kindness<br />
I was hiding about an hour when a very elderly woman, maybe about 90 years old, came into the barn. But she<br />
was tall and strong, carrying what appeared to be buckets. She came within 25 to 30 feet from where I was hiding;<br />
I wondered whether or not to stay put. I decided to step forward and hope for the best. I stepped into view and<br />
from my pack pulled out the little American flag the Air Corps had given us to identify ourselves. I waved the flag<br />
and said, “American, American!” On seeing me she dropped her buckets and came charging right towards me. She<br />
grabbed me under the armpits, picked me up off the ground and bounced me in unbridled joy while my feet never<br />
touched the ground. She took me into the farm house where the rest of the family lived, and they broke out some<br />
wine and cheese and called a neighbor over and started a little celebratory party on my behalf. Sam Najarian<br />
<strong>The</strong> Dedication<br />
One day during <strong>The</strong> Death March my dad noticed a farm house<br />
way off in the distance. He saw someone coming from the farm<br />
house towards the ragged line of 10,000 marchers stretching across<br />
20 miles. As the person walked closer my dad saw that it was an<br />
old woman, in that freezing weather, with a pot of tea in one hand<br />
and a cup and a saucer in the other. She walked up to one of the<br />
GIs and said to him, “Would you like a cup of tea?” One normally<br />
would think, how does that help—helping just one man? But it was<br />
a gesture, a symbol that ... inspired the men who saw it as a single<br />
act of kindness.<br />
Jim Hoel<br />
He never regretted his military service. “If I hadn’t been married, “ he said, “I would have stayed in. I’m just thankful<br />
to be here. I served my country, survived the war and am happy to be in Sun City.”<br />

If you ask someone who has no clue about hunting,<br />
much less wild turkey hunting, like myself…<br />
Question: “When is turkey hunting season?” I’d reply, “Around Thanksgiving?”<br />
Wrong answer!<br />
BY: AMBER HESTER-KUHEN<br />
In our area, Wild Turkey hunting season is March 22–April<br />
30. <strong>The</strong> turkey on your dinner table is more than likely<br />
farm raised.<br />
In South Carolina, wild turkeys breed in late February and<br />
March. Sexual maturity is reached at ap-proximately<br />
10 months old. A gobbler must court a hen and wait for<br />
her to accept him as a mate. He will “strut” by dragging<br />
his wings on the ground, spreading his tail feathers,<br />
puffing up his breast feathers, and gobbling. If the strut<br />
is acceptable, she will crouch on the ground to signal her<br />
will-ingness to mate. This same gobbler will mate with<br />
several hens.<br />
An adult female North American wild turkey (Melaeagris<br />
gallopavo) weighs 7–12 pounds, and an adult male weighs<br />
11–24 pounds. <strong>The</strong> oldest recorded lifespan of a turkey is<br />
15 years, but wild tur-keys live 3 years on average.<br />
Most egg laying starts in the first week of April and is<br />
done by June 1st. Hens lay one egg per day, 9 to 13 eggs<br />
total, and will start sitting on (incubating) them when<br />
the last egg is laid—do the math. Those eggs sit on the<br />
ground unguarded all day for almost 2 weeks while she<br />
forages! Obviously, there is a high risk of predation and<br />
weather related nest site destruction. <strong>The</strong> hen will start<br />
over if her nest is destroyed, but it is not a guarantee.<br />
Once incubation begins, she will rarely leave the eggs<br />
unless she needs a quick snack. Incubation is 28 days.<br />
She must be robust to get through the rigors of this event,<br />
so a reduction in food supply can cause her to skip nesting<br />
all together. <strong>The</strong> gobbler makes no attempt to participate<br />
after mating. <strong>The</strong> young turkeys, or poults, leave the nest<br />
one day after hatching and stick close to their mother for<br />
about a month. Together, they forage for insects, berries<br />
and seeds. Poults are highly susceptible to predation.<br />
<strong>The</strong> North American wild turkey and the ocellated turkey<br />
of Mexico are the only two species of wild turkey in the<br />
world, but there are several sub-species of each. <strong>The</strong><br />
Eastern wild turkey is the largest of 6 subspecies of wild<br />
turkey in North America. It is also the most common. <strong>The</strong><br />
male can grow up to four feet tall!<br />
14
a wildlife biologist (also an avid hunter) become the<br />
first to catch wild turkeys with a cannon-fired net in<br />
the Francis Marion National Forest near Charleston,<br />
SC. This allowed for the relocation of wild turkeys<br />
to populate other suitable habitats and the<br />
proliferation of this method saved the wild turkey.<br />
<strong>The</strong> North American wild turkey is one of only 2 native<br />
birds that have been domesticated. <strong>The</strong> Muscovy duck<br />
is the other. Chickens, originally from Southeast Asia,<br />
arrived first with the Polyne-sians to Chile and later with<br />
Spanish explorers.<br />
<strong>The</strong> North American wild turkey is indigenous to this area<br />
and has an interesting history. <strong>The</strong> Amer-ican Indians<br />
considered turkeys a “starvation food”. In other words,<br />
hunting turkeys for food was a last resort and reserved<br />
for children, women, and European hunters. Wild turkey<br />
was considered an easy target, but also considered a<br />
spiritual animal. <strong>The</strong> 4,000–5,000 Tom (male turkey)<br />
feathers were prized among the tribes–early tribes only<br />
ate turkeys when food sources were depleted. Eventually,<br />
wild turkey was domesticated by the Native Americans<br />
and more evidence of various alternative animal remains<br />
become evident at archeological sites. It is not proven,<br />
but it is possible that their preferred food was no<br />
longer available. Wild turkey populations began to<br />
decline when Europeans arrived. As the demand<br />
for food increased, so did development and the<br />
destruction of wildlife habitat. <strong>The</strong> result was a<br />
population decimation with a low point in 1942<br />
when only 39,000 wild turkeys were thought to<br />
exist. Although scientists believe the number to<br />
be closer to 200,000, it is still dramatic compared<br />
to conservative estimates of 10 million birds in the<br />
colonial era. Many recovery attempts to farm raise<br />
turkeys and release them into the wild had failed.<br />
Apparently, the training of the poults by the hen is<br />
crucial for survival in the wilderness. Finally, in 1951,<br />
Between 1951 and 1974 the wild turkey population of<br />
the United States grew from an estimated 320,000<br />
to 1.4 million turkeys. Today, 6.4 million wild turkeys<br />
roam the lower 49 states. <strong>The</strong> push for wild turkey<br />
conservation actually came from hunters and the<br />
National Wild Turkey Federation was established<br />
in 1973. Side note–also Marine Mammal Protection<br />
Act 1972 and Endangered Spe-cies Act 1973. South<br />
Carolina designated the wild turkey as official state<br />
wild game bird in 1976.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are numerous predators of Wild Turkeys,<br />
including raccoons, skunks, foxes, snakes, and owls.<br />
Humans, however, remain the greatest predator of<br />
all. <strong>The</strong>re are several recent changes to the hunting<br />
regulations. A resident hunter can take no more<br />
than 3 male turkeys (gobblers) in a season and only<br />
one per day (historically 2 gobblers per day). In<br />
addition, only 1 gobbler may be taken March 22–31.<br />
A hunting license and big game permit are required<br />
as well as a tag that must be pur-chased for $5 each,<br />
limit: 3 tags. A non-resident must pay $100 for each<br />
tag and is limited to 2 tags–that’s an expensive<br />
turkey. You may not shoot a turkey 30 minutes<br />
before sunrise or 30 minutes after sunset.<br />
15
You may not shoot a turkey with a rifle, a pistol, or<br />
buckshot–not because of the turkey, but because<br />
of a tragic accident involving another hunter.<br />
Accepted weapons are bow/arrow, crossbow, and<br />
shotgun. Calling a turkey with a recording, using<br />
dogs, or baiting the turkey is pro-hibited. Each<br />
take must be reported to the state electronically<br />
(effective July 1, 2020) and failure to do so results<br />
in a $25 fine (effective July 1, 2021).<br />
It is unlawful to take a bearded hen – “It is unlawful<br />
for a person to take a female wild turkey unless<br />
authorized by the department pursuant to Section<br />
50-11-500(3)”. I have inserted this section because<br />
in some literature, it specifies “bearded hens”<br />
which does not apply to all hens–gobblers ONLY<br />
to be on the safe side!<br />
<strong>The</strong> wild turkey is a true American and if Ben<br />
Franklin had his way, it would be the wild turkey<br />
in-stead of the eagle representing our country.<br />
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!<br />

Finding a Dog to Fit Your Lifestyle:<br />
Plan Ahead to Reap the Rewards of a Loving Pet<br />
By Kimberly Blaker<br />
Every year thousands of dogs are turned over to animal<br />
shelters because they were given as a gift without first<br />
consulting the gift recipient – or people discover they<br />
brought home a biter, barker, digger, or jumper. When<br />
pets are given away, the pets, their owners, and children all<br />
suffer. So before selecting your dog, do your homework.<br />
With a little pre-planning, you can find the dog that most<br />
closely fits yours or your gift recipient’s lifestyle.<br />
Variety of dogs, variety of nuisances<br />
Dogs can create many nuisances. Some of these are<br />
more common in particular breeds. A barking dog helps<br />
protect against intruders. But excessive barking can<br />
become a problem. Some breeds known for their barking<br />
include the Alaskan Malamute, American Water Spaniel,<br />
Bassett Hound, Finnish Spitz, Fox and other Terriers, Great<br />
Pyrenees, and Miniature Schnauzer.<br />
A playful, energetic puppy can make a great playmate.<br />
But as your puppy grows, that hyperactivity could become<br />
overwhelming. High-strung dogs often jump on people and<br />
tear through the house. Certain breeds tend to maintain<br />
that high energy level well into their adult size bodies. Such<br />
breeds include Airedale Terriers, Boxer, Brittany, Cocker<br />
Spaniel, Dalmatian, Golden Retriever, Irish Setter, Jack<br />
Russell Terrier, Labrador Retriever, Pointer, and Schnauzer.<br />
Dogs dig for many reasons—to bury a bone, to escape from<br />
a fenced yard, to keep cool, or out of boredom. A tornup<br />
yard can be the last straw for many dog owners. <strong>The</strong><br />
following breeds tend to be diggers: Fox Terriers, Norwich<br />
Terrier, and Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen.<br />
Dogs can be aggressive for a variety of reasons. Poor<br />
breeding, physical abuse, and even disease can cause<br />
aggression in a dog. Certain dominant breeds can also<br />
tend toward aggressiveness if not handled by a firm and<br />
skilled handler. Choose these dogs with caution and the<br />
understanding they require strong leadership: Akita,<br />
American Pit Bull Terrier, Bulldog, Bullmastiff, Chow<br />
Chow, Doberman Pinscher, German Shepherd, Rottweiler,<br />
Schnauzer, Shih Tzu, Siberian Husky, and Weimaraner.<br />
18<br />
Grooming is another consideration. While it may sound<br />
painless, the upkeep of certain breeds can be overwhelming.<br />
In addition to keeping claws trimmed and an occasional<br />
bath, some dogs require lengthy daily brushing to remove<br />
tangles or trapped fur in double coats.
High maintenance breeds include the American Eskimo,<br />
Cocker Spaniel, Collie, Great Pyrenees, Lhasa Apso, Old<br />
English Sheepdog, Poodle, Schnauzer, and Terriers.<br />
Traits to look for in a family dog<br />
If you have kids, many unforeseen problems are avoidable<br />
by finding a dog that’ll be easy for your child to handle<br />
so your child can assist in training. Easy trainers include<br />
American Water Spaniel, Australian Shepherd, Bichon<br />
Frise, Cocker Spaniel, Irish Setter, Italian Greyhound,<br />
Maltese, and Shetland Sheepdog.<br />
Calm, gentle breeds are essential for families with small<br />
children. Keep in mind size alone doesn’t dictate these<br />
traits. Gentle breeds you might consider are Bassett<br />
Hound, Beagle, Bearded Collie, Chinese Crested, Great<br />
Dane, Great Pyrenees, Newfoundland, and Mastiff.<br />
Playful and energetic puppies work well for older children<br />
who won’t feel threatened by the dog’s full-grown size.<br />
Consider an American Eskimo, Bloodhound, Brittany,<br />
Dalmatian, Golden Retriever, Irish Wolfhound, Labrador<br />
Retriever, Pointer, Poodle, Saint Bernard, or Schnauzer.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are many other traits to consider in choosing a new<br />
dog. Before bringing home your puppy, read a book or<br />
articles about the breed that interests you to determine if<br />
it will fit your family’s lifestyle. For personalized assistance<br />
in choosing a breed, go to http://www.selectsmart.com/<br />
DOG/ or one of the many other breed selection sites. You’ll<br />
be guided through a series of questions and receive a free<br />
personalized list of matches.<br />
Special considerations<br />
child. But even the gentlest dogs have been known to bite.<br />
Little kids sometimes get too close to a dog while it’s<br />
eating or chewing a bone or startle a dog while it’s sleeping.<br />
Sometimes, small children hang on dogs, pull their tails, or<br />
threaten a dog’s safety. This can lead to injury to either the<br />
dog or your child.<br />
Also, dogs view their families as part of their pack. A<br />
properly trained dog should view adults and older children<br />
as alpha (top dog). But a dog isn’t likely to see a small child<br />
in this light and may wield its authority when no one’s<br />
around.<br />
Apartment living is another consideration. <strong>The</strong> size dog<br />
you choose is vital to both your dog’s well being and to<br />
maintain your sanity. High energy and medium to large<br />
breeds generally need large areas to romp. Without it, your<br />
apartment could become a round-the-clock racetrack.<br />
Planning regular walks for these dogs may not be sufficient.<br />
You’ll tire long before your dog. Also, there will be occasions<br />
when you aren’t able to accommodate your dog’s need to<br />
exercise.<br />
<strong>The</strong> costs of pet ownership should also be weighed out.<br />
First, there are obvious costs, such as pet food and annual<br />
vaccinations. Other expenses include licensing, monthly<br />
heartworm pills, chew toys, damaged belongings, fencing,<br />
training, unexpected veterinary expense, grooming,<br />
kenneling, and more.<br />
If your family has members with bad allergies or asthma,<br />
check with your doctor before bringing any furred,<br />
feathered, or finned pet into your home.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate<br />
that 800,000 people, mostly children, are bitten annually<br />
severely enough to require medical attention. Infants and<br />
small children shouldn’t be left alone with a dog. It may be<br />
hard to picture your lovable Fido as capable of hurting your<br />
19
Finally, if you’re getting a dog for your child, keep in mind<br />
no matter how sincere your child’s intent to care for his<br />
new pet, it’s a big responsibility. Ultimately, parents take<br />
the brunt of the work.<br />
Also, the holiday season may not be the best time of year<br />
to bring home a new dog. People are generally too busy<br />
during the holidays to give a new pet the attention it needs.<br />
Choose a season when you’ll be able to spend plenty of<br />
time with your new dog as it adjusts to its new home.<br />
Where to find your dog<br />
<strong>The</strong> Humane Society, an animal shelter, or an accidental<br />
litter of pups is a great place to find your dog at an affordable<br />
price. Giving a home to a dog that might otherwise be put<br />
to sleep or caged indefinitely, and not contributing to the<br />
overpopulation of dogs by buying from breeders, are good<br />
reasons to go this route.<br />
Most often, you’ll find mixed breeds through these<br />
methods. Mixed breeds are less likely to inherit the<br />
diseases and disabilities often common in pure breeds.<br />
Keep in mind though, sometimes these dogs are strays or<br />
weren’t properly cared for by their original owner. If a dog<br />
didn’t receive proper vaccinations, it could be at risk for<br />
disease. A dog that was abused by its previous owner could<br />
also pose risks. Ask the animal shelter what it knows about<br />
the dog’s history.<br />
Another way to find your new puppy is through a breeder.<br />
Taking home a puppy whose history is known and hasn’t<br />
been exposed to a poor environment is a plus. But caution<br />
should be used even when buying from a breeder. While<br />
most are in the business for their love of the breed, there<br />
are plenty of exceptions.<br />
Some breeders are only interested in profits and have little<br />
knowledge or concern for good breeding and proper care<br />
of pups. This can lead to dogs with poor temperaments,<br />
genetic disorders, or disease. Ask plenty of questions,<br />
request references, and ask to see the puppies in their<br />
normal environment.<br />
According to the American Kennel Club, some things to<br />
watch for when selecting your puppy include a runny nose,<br />
watery eyes, fever, or disease in the litter. If any of these<br />
conditions are present, look elsewhere.<br />
Avoid a puppy that trembles and is shy or one that shows<br />
a bad temper. Also, understand that a kennel designated<br />
“AKC Reg.” doesn’t mean it has the American Kennel Club’s<br />
stamp of approval. It merely means the dogs are registered<br />
as being purebred.<br />
Finally, keep in mind that puppies should remain with their<br />
mother until six weeks of age, and preferably 8.<br />
Training Tips<br />
No matter how careful you are in selecting your pet,<br />
chances are, your puppy will develop a problem or nuisance<br />
behavior. Prevention is the first step. Around six months,<br />
your puppy will be old enough for an obedience course.<br />
Teaching your puppy the basics will make it easier<br />
20
to manage problem behaviors. If you can’t take a class,<br />
purchase a dog-training manual and stick with it.<br />
If your dog shows signs of aggression, talk with a<br />
professional trainer or your veterinarian. Depending on the<br />
cause, there may be a simple solution. If you have kids and<br />
their safety becomes an issue, your only option may be a<br />
new home for your pet.<br />
Whether your dog ends up with a new owner or in a shelter,<br />
make sure you explain the reason for giving your dog away,<br />
so it ends up in the proper environment.<br />
For other problem behaviors, there are several good books<br />
to help tame your dog. Decoding Your Dog: Explaining<br />
Common Dog Behaviors and How to Change or Prevent<br />
Unwanted Ones by the American College of Veterinary<br />
Behaviorists, provides many helpful techniques. Contrary<br />
to popular belief, never hit, kick, or swat a dog with a<br />
newspaper. This can lead to aggressiveness or increase<br />
already aggressive behavior.<br />

SIDEBAR:<br />
When Puppy Must Stay Behind<br />
Traveling with your dog isn’t always feasible. When<br />
looking for boarding services, ask the following questions,<br />
depending on your dog’s needs.<br />
Are kennels heated and cooled?<br />
Are they indoor, outdoor, or accessible to both?<br />
What kind of food do they provide?<br />
Is one-on-one playtime or leashed walks offered?<br />
What vaccinations are required?<br />
Most importantly, try to understand and accept your pet’s<br />
imperfections and adjust your home accordingly to reduce<br />
aggravations. In time, your dog will learn to accept the<br />
household routine and become a part of it.<br />
SIDEBAR:<br />
Traveling with Puppy<br />
For some dog owners, going on vacation without their dog<br />
is like leaving a family member behind. <strong>The</strong>refore, many<br />
hotels accommodate families who travel with pets. Try one<br />

Rachmaninoff<br />
By Frank G. Schuetz Jr.<br />
<strong>The</strong> piano was invented by Bartolomeo Cristofori<br />
around the year 1700, to borrow pianist and<br />
comedian Victor Borge’s words, “after a long<br />
period…without any.” Cristofori’s invention was<br />
an update to the harpsichord in that the strings<br />
of the piano are set into vibrating motion using<br />
felt hammers, as opposed to the harpsichord in<br />
which plucking mechanisms initiate the motion<br />
of the strings. <strong>The</strong> advantage of using hammer<br />
mechanisms in the piano allows the performer<br />
to have some control over how loudly notes are<br />
sounded by varying the force of depressing the<br />
piano’s keys. This variable loudness lends the<br />
player additional opportunity to be expressive<br />
and, in fact, gives the instrument its name –<br />
originally ‘pianoforte’ (softloud, using English<br />
words), shortened to ‘piano’ by habitual speech.<br />
<strong>The</strong> harpsichord plays only at one volume.<br />
32<br />
Popularity of the piano rose over the centuries<br />
to its peak as the center of home entertainment<br />
in the early 1900s. Many households were able
to afford modest versions of the instrument, and<br />
households often had more than one member<br />
who studied and learned to play. This popularity<br />
of the piano as home entertainment waned as a<br />
result of the availability of the radio and then the<br />
television.<br />
During this time when the piano was at the<br />
height of its popularity, and with imaginably a<br />
significantly large number of people who were<br />
studying and playing, a man by the name of<br />
Sergei Vasilyevich Rachmaninoff was capturing<br />
the world with his musical talents as a conductor,<br />
composer, and stunning pianist. His Piano<br />
Concerto No. 3 in D minor (Opus 30), which he<br />
composed in 1909 and performed throughout<br />
the world, is regarded one of the most technically<br />
challenging pieces of music ever written for piano.<br />
It must have been a pinnacle of achievement<br />
appreciated by all of the aspiring players of the<br />
era, at a time when piano was its most popular.<br />
And it is still appreciated to this day as one of<br />
the most difficult piano compositions to perform.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Russian pianist, born in 1873, who gained<br />
American citizenship in 1943, benefited from the<br />
timeframe of his life in a way that goes beyond<br />
the arc of the popularity of the piano – there are<br />
recordings of him playing his own compositions.<br />
Without a recording, performance of a piece of<br />
music written by a composer of the classical<br />
genre can only be an interpretation by the<br />
performer of the composer’s intent. That is<br />
to say, without the ability of the listener to ask<br />
the composer questions or hear the composer<br />
perform a particular piece, the performer<br />
is relied upon to use knowledge, ability,<br />
imagination and emotion to give the listener an<br />
experience that the performer feels about how<br />
the particular piece is to be performed. In the<br />
case of Rachmaninoff, listening to his recordings<br />
lends direct understanding of the intent of his<br />
compositions, like composers/performers of<br />
today’s popular music.<br />
Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 3 in D minor<br />
will be performed by the Hilton Head Symphony<br />
Orchestra under the baton of John Morris Russell,<br />
along with piano virtuoso Dr. Eric Zuber, Gold Medal<br />
winner at the Hilton Head International Piano<br />
Competition.<br />

All You Need is Love<br />
By Gene Cashman<br />
<strong>The</strong> November sunshine slowly squeezed the<br />
crispness from the morning air as it climbed higher in<br />
the eastern sky. “Should be a nice day for exploring”<br />
Jack said aloud. Sam squinted and pulled his cap<br />
down to shade his eyes “you betcha, let’s head<br />
downtown.” Of course, for Sam and Jack downtown<br />
was just a term for where the most buildings were<br />
located. In their little town there wasn’t a suburb<br />
or a midtown, heck there weren’t even that many<br />
buildings aside from small homes and simple<br />
farms. <strong>The</strong>re was the hardware store, the grocer,<br />
the police station and general store. A small diner<br />
was across the street from the gas station, which<br />
was next to the farm co-op. Men in overalls and<br />
rubber boots always milled in the parking lot of the<br />
co-op drinking coffee from Styrofoam cups. Sam<br />
and Jack talked, as they walked, about where to<br />
go. Jack stopped Sam and peered through a fence.<br />
He studied the vacant lot next to an old repair shop<br />
where dozens of rusted out old cars and old broke<br />
down farm equipment permanently resided. “Look<br />
at that old car” he said “that hood ornament looks<br />
just like a jet plane. Let’s check it out.”<br />

drinking coffee from Styrofoam cups. Sam and<br />
Jack talked, as they walked, about where to go.<br />
Jack stopped Sam and peered through a fence. He<br />
studied the vacant lot next to an old repair shop<br />
where dozens of rusted out old cars and old broke<br />
down farm equipment permanently resided. “Look<br />
at that old car” he said “that hood ornament looks<br />
just like a jet plane. Let’s check it out.”<br />
Wiggling under the loose chain link fence Sam was<br />
careful not to get too much dirt on his pants. “Can’t<br />
get too dirty today” he said as he brushed gravel from<br />
his pant legs “have to meet mama this afternoon at<br />
the church.” Jack, with no such obligation barrel<br />
rolled underneath the fence paying no mind to the<br />
dust and grass stains he picked up along the way.<br />
“Let’s go find that ole Chevy” Jack said excitedly<br />
“I want to see if we can get that hood ornament.<br />
It would look perfect on my bike.” Just as the<br />
boys began to skip along the rows of cars a noise<br />
stopped them in their tracks. <strong>The</strong> low, mean growl<br />
of a dog was audible to them both. “That’s no good”<br />
muttered Jack “sounds like an attack dog.” Both<br />
Sam and Jack slowly turned to see a large black dog<br />
snarling at them from the other side of the chain<br />
link fence. “Goo-goo-good doggy” stuttered Sam<br />
“r-r-run along now.” Naturally, the dog burst forth<br />
in boisterous excitement, pawing at the fence and<br />
barking loudly. Jack and Sam scrambled for cover.<br />
Shelter was found beneath an old delivery truck. It<br />
was just tight enough for both of them to squeeze<br />
under without being too close to the sides. A deep<br />
voice with a thick accent could be heard bellowing<br />
from beyond the fence, “come on out so I can see<br />
you. I know you are in there. Don’t make me release<br />
Mad Max on ya.” Jack gave a frightened look to<br />
Sam. Sam just shrugged “what are we going to do<br />
now” he exclaimed. “I heard this guy is the meanest<br />
son-of-a-gun in town” Jack whispered “he single<br />
handedly took out an entire enemy platoon during<br />
the war. It made him crazy mean.” Sam looked<br />
annoyed “why then are we sneaking onto his lot” he<br />
asked. Jack frowned “I wanted that hood ornament<br />
for my bike, I dunno.” <strong>The</strong> boys argued back and<br />
forth about their predicament and didn’t notice<br />
that four black, furry legs and two grease stained<br />
work boots had appeared at the rear of the truck.<br />
“Now Max” a voice asked sarcastically. It startled<br />
the boys and they immediately stopped talking.<br />
“Suppose” it went on “suppose I hadn’t fed you any<br />
breakfast. Would the backside of two trespassin’<br />
boys fill your belly?” Sam immediately relented “we<br />
surrender, we surrender. We’re coming out.” Both<br />
boys rolled out from underneath the truck looking<br />
dusty and scared. <strong>The</strong>y trembled at the sight of<br />
the towering man and panting dog. A man with a<br />
long beard and fierce eyes stood over them. In one<br />
hand he held a cigar and with the other restrained<br />
his muscular dog. He kneeled down and asked
inquisitively “took out an entire enemy platoon did I” he said laughing “what other nonsense have you been<br />
told.” Jack, always eager to divulge, shot back with boyish enthusiasm, “well, I heard you curse all the time and<br />
smoke cigarettes and drink moonshine and don’t’ go to church and, and” Jack panted breathlessly “and have<br />
a vulgar tattoo on your arm.” <strong>The</strong> man stared at Jack in wide wonder, finally breaking the silence with a laugh<br />
that built from the tips of his toes, shot up through his belly until it finally burst from his mouth with an almost<br />
joyous pitch. Jack and Sam looked at each other, now even more scared than before. “Now you’ve done it” Sam<br />
accused Jack “now he is really angry.” <strong>The</strong> man wiped tears from his eyes “contrary boys” he said as he bent<br />
down once more and offered his big grease stained hand to help them up “that’s the funniest thing I have heard<br />
in a long time. Come join me in my shop.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> small shop was tucked behind the repair shop, almost hidden from view. <strong>The</strong> man ducked to keep from<br />
hitting his head as he went inside. <strong>The</strong> boys cautiously walked into the dark room. Once inside the man flipped<br />
on a light illuminating a boy’s wonderland. <strong>The</strong>re were military maps and divisional flags and pictures tacked<br />
to the wall, model airplanes hung from the ceiling and a train table with tanks and green army men sat as the<br />
centerpiece to the room. “Whoa” exclaimed Jack “this is amazing.” Sam countered more practically “who are<br />
you?” <strong>The</strong> man smiled “Jim Norton’s the name” he said turning on the electric train “thanks for asking.” <strong>The</strong><br />
boys watched it whirl around the track and table. Jim reached into a stand up cooler and pulled two Cokes out<br />
and handed them to the boys “these will wash the dust from your throats.” <strong>The</strong> boys eagerly downed the cold<br />
soda “thanks mister” Sam exclaimed as he wiped his mouth and drained the bottle. “This all your stuff” asked<br />
Jack. Jim took stock of it all, “yeah it is” he sighed “memorabilia and keepsakes but mostly just reminders from<br />
my days in the Army.” Jack interrupted, “so it’s true” he asked excitedly “about you taking out a whole bunch<br />
of enemy troops?”<br />

With its cheery lights and tables over the water,<br />
next to a dock jammed with shrimp boats and the<br />
spectacular Port Royal Sound, Hudson’s is Lowcountry<br />
dining at its most elemental. Guests tuck into fried<br />
oyster po’ boys, she-crab soup or peel ‘n’ eat shrimp<br />
while gazing over the very waters they’re sourced<br />
from, and the fleet that brought them in. It’s a Hilton<br />
Head tradition dating back to 1912 when the original<br />
seafood processing plant was built here, providing<br />
one of the few forms of livelihood native islanders<br />
could count on. In 1967 Hudson’s expanded to a 95-<br />
seat dining room, making it the longest continuously<br />
operated restaurant on Hilton Head. It is nothing less<br />
than a living landmark, a salty slice of local history.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> joke is that the foundation of the restaurant is,<br />
both literally and figuratively, oysters,” said Andrew<br />
Carmines, president and part owner of Hudson’s. “<strong>The</strong><br />
area it sits on is reclaimed from the creek. Native island<br />
men would row out in oar-powered skiffs called bateaux<br />
to pick oysters, and at the time this was just a pier on<br />
palm pilings with a packing shed behind it. Over time<br />
J.B. Hudson raked out the oyster shells with a frontend<br />
loader to create the little peninsula we now sit on.”<br />
Andrew Carmines’ parents, Brian and Gloria<br />
Carmines, bought the restaurant from Hudson in<br />
1975. Throughout his youth Andrew worked every<br />
Hudson’s and<br />
Carmines<br />
Thanksgiving<br />
job in the restaurant, and was even made to pick<br />
up cigarette butts in the parking lot if he needed<br />
to be punished for misbehavior at home or school.<br />
An island boy to the core—born in the front seat<br />
of a pickup while trying to make it to the nearest<br />
delivery ward in Beaufort—Andrew was basically<br />
raised in Hudson’s. His childhood memories involve<br />
eating shrimp and buckets of steamed oysters with<br />
staff who were like his brothers and sisters. He lived<br />
with his parents and brother in a little house that is<br />
now the administrative office across from Hudson’s.<br />
Eventually Andrew went off to California to seek his<br />
fortune and was doing very well for himself in sales.<br />
But in 2006 his parents dropped the bombshell<br />
that they were ready to move on and not be tied<br />
down to the restaurant anymore, saying if he didn’t<br />
come home they were going to sell. <strong>The</strong>y offered<br />
him an entry-level manager’s position with a salary<br />
that was about one quarter what he was making in<br />
California, yet for Andrew the decision was easy:<br />
the 28-year-old island boy set his course for home.<br />
“My dad said to me one time, ‘People on Hilton<br />
Head want to love Hudson’s,’” recalls Andrew. “‘<strong>The</strong>y<br />
want it to be the best thing going for seafood.’ So I<br />
thought I could make a difference. It was such an<br />
important part of my life growing up that I wasn’t
willing to let it fall into somebody else’s hands.”<br />
Though it took a long time to overcome the stigma of<br />
“owner’s son” and gain the respect of staff who’d been<br />
there for years, today Andrew feels perfectly at-home<br />
in the restaurant the way he did as a boy; he’s there<br />
every day working directly with customers and staff.<br />
Hudson’s easily serves 1,000 on a typical summer<br />
evening and is beloved by locals and vacationers alike.<br />
Each year guests consume 3,000 gallons of oysters,<br />
70,000 pounds of shrimp, and 250,000 raw oysters.<br />
Hudson’s is proud of its history as a source of life to<br />
native islanders, and today they are equally committed<br />
to sourcing nearly all their seafood from local waters.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y have their own sustainable oyster farm in Port<br />
Royal Sound, the Shell Ring Oyster Company, which<br />
Andrew founded in 2013 so that his customers could<br />
eat oysters harvested and shucked earlier the same<br />
day. When he became dissatisfied with the supply<br />
chain for soft-shell crab, he started his own nursery for<br />
molting crabs so he could serve them immediately as<br />
they shed their shells—2,300 of them in a single year.<br />
As satisfying as it must feel to be reckoned a<br />
household name in seafood, there is something even<br />
more fulfilling to Andrew and his crew: Hudson’s<br />
Annual Thanksgiving Dinner. Started 20 years<br />
ago in consideration of those who might not have<br />
anywhere to go, the inaugural event served 160<br />
people free of charge. Today that number has grown<br />
to well over a thousand. People start lining up at 10<br />
a.m. for awesome food, live music and a bonfire,<br />
which are free and open to all. <strong>The</strong> event is staffed<br />
by 250 volunteers including Hudson’s employees.<br />
“We always bill the event as a community dinner<br />
in order to make everybody feel welcome,” says<br />
Andrew, who can’t think of any other day he feels<br />
better about his work. “<strong>The</strong> tables are family style,<br />
so whoever you happen to be in line with when you<br />
go up to get your food, that’s who you end up sitting<br />
with. A CEO could be next to someone who really<br />
needs to be there, such as a widower or somebody<br />
who truly has nowhere to go—they can come<br />
here and have fellowship with people from their<br />
community. It’s truly a heartwarming event that I<br />
think everybody should experience at least once.”<br />
After Andrew’s brother died tragically of cancer in<br />
2002, the tradition of altruism and civic-mindedness<br />
that already ran through his family became even<br />
stronger. Each year the Carmines raise over $1 million<br />
at their February seafood festival, and make untold<br />
charitable contributions in honor of their lost loved one.<br />
“One thing my parents instilled in me is the importance<br />
of giving back,” explains Andrew. “All the festivals<br />
we do, the Thanksgiving dinner, being active in town<br />
affairs and different nonprofits—it was never a matter<br />
of IF, but HOW you serve your community. I could never<br />
thank my parents enough for that because seeing them<br />
made me feel like that’s just what you did. <strong>The</strong>re’s no<br />
special honor to it, you just keep doing what you do.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> Hudson’s Thanksgiving Dinner is free and open<br />
to all, held this year from 11am to 3 pm on Thursday,<br />
November 28.<br />

For decades, oystermen have depended upon harvesting<br />
oysters from area waterways for survival during the oyster<br />
season (from September to April)- Picking oysters was<br />
(and is) almost always done by men. Oystermen land their<br />
boats on the oyster rakes and gather the oysters using<br />
tongs as well as their hands. <strong>The</strong> work is muddy and can<br />
be dangerous. Oyster shells are very sharp and can easily<br />
cut unprotected hands. (Island Packet.)<br />
Once the oysters were loaded into the bateaux, they were<br />
taken to the oyster factories and piled onto large tables.<br />
From the 1920s until the 1970s, several island families<br />
operated oyster factories. In the Hudson factory, over 250<br />
gallons of oysters were shucked each day by the women<br />
working there. Workers were paid with Hudson money,<br />
which could only be used at the Hudson store. (Barbara<br />
Hudson.)<br />
During the 1970s, Mose Hudson and his pickup truck were<br />
a common sight around Hilton Head Island. Mose enjoyed<br />
fishing with his family. After a long day of catching, he<br />
sold the fish out of his makeshift market, his truck.<br />
(Propst family.)<br />
As a young man in the 1930s, Mose Hudson acted as the<br />
woodsrider for the Thorne and Loomis property. By then,<br />
they owned nearly 20,000 acres of the island. Hudson<br />
scoured the woods on horseback keeping trespassing<br />
hunters away and making sure that the reserve was well<br />
stocked with mink and other game. Sometimes, he trapped<br />
rattlesnakes to sell their venom to vendors in Savannah.<br />
Hudson had been born on the island in 1905 and knew his<br />
way around the island as well as anyone. (Propst family.)<br />
44
Mose Hudson and his son, Lynn, stand on the ferry dock<br />
at Jenkins Island. Before the bridge was built to connect<br />
Hilton Head to the mainland, the island remained<br />
isolated. Transportation after arriving on the island was<br />
challenging too. Roads were not paved and were often<br />
too small vehicles. Over the years, access to the island has<br />
become far much easier. (Propst family.)<br />
In 1953, Mose Hudson operated the first state-run ferry<br />
to Hilton Head. <strong>The</strong> first ferry, the Gay Times, carried only<br />
four cars. It was actually a barge that was pushed across<br />
the water from Buckingham Landing to Jenkins Island.<br />
Here, Hudson is photographed on the Pocahontas, the<br />
second ferry. On his right are crates of tomatoes from the<br />
C & D truck farm located on the island. (Propst family.)<br />
It is difficult for most visitors to Hilton Head to imagine<br />
what the island was like when there were only a handful of<br />
restaurants, stores, or hotels to choose from; for hundreds<br />
of years, that was the case. It is only recently that<br />
amenities have popped up on the island. One of the bestknown<br />
island businesses is Hudson’s Restaurant. In 1968,<br />
Benny and Barbara Hudson opened a restaurant adjacent<br />
to his family’s shrimp docks. <strong>The</strong> restaurant was one of a<br />
few places to have dinner on the island. <strong>The</strong> restaurant is<br />
currently owned by Brian and Gloria Carmines.<br />
(Barbara Hudson.)<br />
Ethel Hudson (Propst) found a way to entertain herself in<br />
this small boat. During the 1940s, island children played<br />
in the woods and waterways when they were not in<br />
school. (Propst family.)<br />

Life On Lady Slipper Island<br />
By: Randolph Stewart<br />
Photography: Tom Jenkins<br />
I have driven through the gates of Belfair a hundred times and each time it leaves me in a state of wonderment,<br />
one begins to relax and take in all the natural beauty. Belfair dates back to 1663 when King Charles II signed the<br />
Carolina Charter. Previous owners fought in the revolution and the Civil War. Where did those glorious oaks with<br />
the dabbled light surrounding you come from? William Mosely Swain, who purchased Belfair in the 1920’s as a<br />
cattle ranch, planted the oaks that now constitute the magnificent Avenue of the Oaks<br />
<strong>The</strong> story of Belfair begins in 1811, when the husband and wife duo of William Telfair and Betsey Bellinger<br />
established a country estate and working plantation devoted to agriculture. <strong>The</strong>y took the first part of “Bellinger”<br />
and the last of “Telfair” to name their new majestic country estate. Over the years the estate has operated as<br />
a cattle ranch and even a turkey farm for periods of time and in 1994, the estate began the transformation into<br />
a world-class community. Belfair, comprised of 1,100 acres and 730 home sites, has had one mission - protect<br />
the freshwater wetlands, natural preserves and rookery, while creating a prestigious community with all the<br />
amenities one would want. <strong>The</strong>re are people who live there from all over the world and lifelong friends.<br />
I was summoned on this occasion by Johnny Ussery of Ussery Group and Charter 1 Realty to write a feature<br />
about a special house at 30 Lady Slipper Island Drive. As I was the Urban Designer and wrote guidelines for this<br />
small shoe-shaped island, I welcomed the chance.<br />
46
Lady Slipper is a small island on the northwest<br />
corner of Belfair, a 9 iron across the marsh to the<br />
picturesque Par 3 14th hole. As you wind thru<br />
Belfair you pass wonderful custom private homes,<br />
views of the immaculate yet natural golf course, the<br />
Golf Learning Center, the Clubhouse with adjacent<br />
cottages, the Rookery with its nature trails, the<br />
Nature Conservancy, Hidden Lake, and Marshes<br />
of the Colleton River. Crossing a small bridge, you<br />
find Lady Slipper, set unto its own and one of a kind,<br />
with only 15 homes.<br />
Standing outside you take it all in. A unique<br />
neighborhood, all homes having been completed,<br />
and as per the developer, John Reed’s wishes, all<br />
having several things in common. <strong>The</strong> spectacular<br />
long views, a sense of place and privacy, and all<br />
homes following the American Shingle style of<br />
architecture. Shingle Style, in America began in<br />
the New England school of architecture, which<br />
eschewed the ornamented patterns of the Eastlake<br />
style in Queen Anne. This was later combined<br />
with the renewed interest in Colonial American<br />
architecture which followed the 1876 Centennial<br />
celebration. <strong>The</strong> plain, shingled surfaces were<br />
adapted, their massing emulated and in Belfair’s<br />
case it became relaxed and practical adding the<br />
47
Southern Vernacular; Colonial lap<br />
siding, wide overhangs, 4-gables,<br />
a center dormer and front porch,<br />
expansive east side porches to gather<br />
the coastal breezes and provide shade<br />
from the sun.<br />
Raised off the ground, surrounded by<br />
landscaping that created its own motor<br />
court, and walking up the ivy covered<br />
multi-level terrace you cannot help<br />
but notice the multiple gables, all in<br />
balance and scale, and the Bermuda<br />
shutters that protected the southwest<br />
face from the sun but added color and<br />
dimension to the facade.<br />
Stepping across the threshold you<br />
will sense immediately the overriding<br />
element of the interior design. Bring<br />
the outside in! From space to space<br />
there is virtually nowhere that you<br />
do not have close and long views of<br />
nature, the marsh edge, the river and<br />
the land beyond in the distance. You<br />
will notice from the pictures that many<br />
rooms have multiple views. That was<br />
not an accident, on this site, that is<br />
one more thing that makes this home<br />
special. At the same time, you get a<br />
sense of privacy as you are not looking<br />
at another structure, only water and<br />
nature.<br />
<strong>The</strong> rooms have extra high ceilings with<br />
moldings that are the correct size for<br />
the volume of the rooms. <strong>The</strong> tall doors<br />
and windows allow the light, and views<br />
to flow in. Standing in the hallway at<br />
48
the edge of the living room one can see thru the porch to<br />
the river straight ahead, or looking through the kitchen,<br />
to the river, and at an angle see thru the breakfast area,<br />
to the river. If you like to cook and entertain, or a quite<br />
dinner for two, this is a kitchen for you. Well organized,<br />
bright, everything convenient. Well thought out, it<br />
is open, yet within its own space, to other family and<br />
entertaining space, and yes, the river is ever-present.<br />
<strong>The</strong> decor throughout has muted neutral colors so as not<br />
to conflict. <strong>The</strong> heart pine floors provided contrast, the<br />
carpet, light fixtures and hardware all work in unison. <strong>The</strong><br />
art is one hand old world and on the other simply framed<br />
with simple clean images of nature.<br />
<strong>The</strong> master suite is all one could ask for, including the<br />
private porch. Imagine on a full moon! Great spaces to<br />
read, relax, and have your own quiet time. <strong>The</strong> closet i<br />
fitted and the bath is open and spacious. <strong>The</strong> tiles are<br />
again muted and natural in color.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re is an elevator to the second floor that allows visiting<br />
kids and friends to have a living room to enjoy themselves<br />
away from whatever is happening downstairs. Three<br />
large bedrooms and a study, each with their own bath.<br />
<strong>The</strong> porches, upstairs and down, serve several purposes.<br />
Foremost, is to enjoy the views. Open the doors and<br />
windows to enjoy the breezes circulating throughout.<br />
Porches also gather breezes. <strong>The</strong>y become an outdoor<br />
room, either sitting and relaxing, dining or entertaining.<br />
Stepping on the porch and reflecting for a moment<br />
one becomes part of nature. Egrets, Heron, and Ibises<br />
were pecking at the fiddler crabs. A boat was passing<br />
by at a distance the same, like Indians did in their canoe<br />
hundreds of years ago, and Union troops came to forage<br />
and hunt from Hilton Head Island.<br />
I enjoyed the home, and all that the home offered.<br />
Designed for all occasions and family sizes or visits<br />
from friends, it certainly has a lot to offer as does the<br />
community of Belfair.<br />
As I got back into the car after this pleasant visit, a<br />
bald eagle swooped over me and called down….what a<br />
wonder and rare moment. Lady Slipper is truly a special<br />
place.<br />
