‘Co-existing is

CHANGE COURSE ON COYOTES

t’s been two years since
coyotes first showed up on Isle
of Palms, but if the new mayor
Jimmy Carroll gets his way their
days on our island paradise are
numbered. Carroll told Island
Eye News that he feels strongly
the previous council’s policy to
co-exist with the creatures is not
working, despite having been on
that council.
“I have a clear and accurate
picture that coexisting is not
going to work,” he said. “Because
we are seeing more and more
coyotes around the island. We’ve
even seen an animal attacked
in front of its owner. They’re
becoming more brazen,” he
said. “If we know the population
is growing and we don’t do
something about it then we are
failing.”
Isle of Palms’ current coyote
policy involves educating the
public on how to co-exist with
the non-native creature. The city
has also engaged the services of a
trapper, however, only one critter
has been caught since trapping
began in February 2016.
Down the road on Sullivan’s
Island, a similar policy is in
place, with trapping being used
if and when a coyote becomes
deemed as a threat. Coyotes
have inhabited Sullivan’s slightly
longer, arriving in 2013, but
reports of sightings and incidents
are far fewer. No coyotes have
been trapped by the town, but
Town Administrator Andy Benke
says private individuals have
successfully trapped coyotes on
their property.

“Between February 2016 and
November 2017, we’ve had less
than five sightings called in,”
Acting Police Chief Chris Griffin
told Island Eye News.
While some pet owners have
spoken up saying their cats and
small dogs have been killed by
coyotes, there has been no direct
evidence reported to the town,
“IF YOU SEE A COYOTE YOU
SHOULD NEVER IGNORE IT,
ALWAYS MAKE LOUD NOISES
AND TRY AND SCARE IT OFF.”
according to Benke. But this
doesn’t mean it’s not happening.
Island Eye News spoke with Liz
Harris, a Sullivan’s resident
whose dog was eviscerated by
two “canines” in 2015, at the
beach path by Station 29 and
Brownell.
“I was away, but my sister says

he Sullivan’s Island Town
Council convened for its
last meeting of 2017 on
Tuesday, Dec. 19. Nearly all
members were present except for
Mayor Pro Tem Chauncey Clark
and Councilmember Tim Reese.
Following the Pledge of
Allegiance and invocation, Mayor
O’Neil opened the floor to public
comments, but there were none.
Minutes from the November
meeting and special workshop
meeting on Dec. 4 were approved
unanimously. Mayor O’Neil asked
if there was a motion to approve
the third reading and ratification
of Town Ordinance 2017-05,
amending Section 10-20 of the
Code of Ordinances regarding
business licenses. A motion was
made, and the third reading and
ratification were unanimously
approved.
Next, the mayor asked for
a motion to approve a second
reading of an amendment
to Ordinance 2017-06. This
amendment would raise the cost
of dog license and badges for non-
island residents from $35 to $50.
Councilmember Bachman Smith
asked what would happen if no
motion was made to approve,
and Mayor O’Neil informed the
council that if no motion was
made to approve the second
reading, it would die. No motion
was made to approve, and the
second reading did not move
forward. Mayor O’Neil did suggest
that this issue be revisited at
some point, but Councilmember
Sarah Church stated that she
won’t support this issue in the
future.
Following this discussion,
Mayor O’Neil proposed the
approval of a resolution
authorizing the repair of sewer

anuary 2017 came in like a lion as the IOP race

Saying goodbye to
for Mayor began with an early announcement
from candidate Jimmy Carroll. Winter gave way
to another summer full of festivities and crowds,
gathered for the once-in-a-lifetime solar eclipse
among other island events. After an exciting, and
thankfully moderate storm season, efforts to plan,
prepare and rebuild were underway. The November
election on IOP included an unprecedented
number of candidates for City Council and a
contentious debate over the marina referendum.
Ultimately welcoming a new Mayor and several new
councilmembers.
The Island communities continue to be welcoming
to visitors, generous to causes and protective of our
unique and delicate ecosystems, as our look back
at 2017 illustrates.
Cheers to a happy and healthy New Year from all
of us at Lucky Dog Publishing.

MEMORIAL OYSTER ROAST SET FOR JAN. 27

f you’re a fan

you’ll want to
mark Saturday,
Jan. 27 on your
calendar for the
best oysters and
views in town!
The F. T. Stack
Memorial Oyster
Roast will be
celebrating its
20th anniversary
this year. The
event was
renamed three
years ago in
memory of
Francis Thomas
“Bud” Stack who The late F.T. “Bud” Stack and his wife Cecily.
passed away in PHOTO PROVIDED
February 2015—
just a few weeks
before his 90th birthday. Bud, with help from his wife Cecily, is
fondly remembered for single-handedly selling more than a quarter of
all tickets for the roast along with soliciting numerous silent auction
donations from local vendors.
Hosted by the IOP Exchange Club, the roast will be held from 4-7
p.m. at the Exchange Club clubhouse, 201 Palm Blvd. Some of the
best sunsets in Charleston can be seen and photographed from the
back patio (not to mention the occasional dolphin sighting!) which is
blessed with a dream location on Hamlin Creek and the Intracoastal
Waterway. This popular annual event raises funds to provide
scholarships for students east of the Cooper.
While most oyster roasts have barnacled, gnarled clusters of
multiple oysters which are a struggle to pry apart and open, the IOP
Exchange Club Roast offers the exquisite single select oysters that
are larger and tastier…some of these oysters are as big as the palm
of your hand!
After many years of honing their skills manning the steamers,
the Exchange Club roasting crew has learned how to cook these to
perfection – not so underdone that they’re still jiggling, not overcooked
to bicycle tire texture. What results is a symphony to the oyster itself,
so you can appreciate that signature punch of brininess while still
marveling over its velveteen texture. And not just oysters are on the
menu; they will also be serving up piping hot southern style chili, and
hot dogs along with all the fixings.
Entertainment includes a silent auction featuring all sorts of
special and unique merchandise, services and experiences, a raffle
and live music by the talented Kelly Sanchez. Bring your own
oyster knife, gloves and towels. Seasoned veterans even bring their
own sauces! Please contact Deb Barr at debbarr@comcast.net with
donations of services, new (not previously used) items or special,
unique experiences and/or sponsorship inquiries. These are great
ways to promote your company and/or give back to the community!
Limited to first 425 participants, tickets are $35 in advance or $40
at the door and can be purchased at IOProast.com

U.S. Open champion Sloane

The Volvo Car Open will take

year she won the doubles title in

The three newest additions to

France’s Garcia won two
back-to-back singles titles in
2017 in Wuhan and Beijing,
respectively, before qualifying
for the WTA Finals where she
reached the semifinals. On her
way to the Beijing title, she
defeated Simona Halep and Elina
Svitolina, ranked No. 2 and No.
3 at the time. Her match against
Svitolina was named the ‘Best
Match of the Year’ by WTA, as
Garcia completed a three-set,
three-hour unseeded victory over
Svitolina by saving match point.
She also reached four semifinals
and three quarterfinals this year,
and had her first top 10 season of
her career.
Konta also won two tournaments

Coyotes continues from page 3
Sully, a Brittany Spaniel that lived on Sullivan’s Island, was killed by two animals at
the Station 29 beach path. The vet report indicated the wounds were likely inflicted by
coyotes.
Can They Be Eliminated?
All experts agree that coyotes
are here to stay. Sean Poppy, a
researcher with Savannah River
Ecology Lab at University of
Georgia, gave a presentation to
interested residents on Dewees
Island last month, which had its
first coyotes arrive in 2016. He
explained that coyotes are native
to the Midwest/Great Plains
area, but when humans moved
in it disrupted their ecosystem
and they started spreading out.
“Coyotes have survived because
they’re adaptable,” he said. “The
eradication of wolves and other
larger predators has helped
them gain a foothold and there
are now coyotes in 49 states.”
The Eastern coyote is bigger

and smarter that the Western
coyote, he said. In an urban
area their range is 2-3 square
miles. “They eat everything,”
he said. “Rarely they will go for
an adult deer, it’s mainly its
fawns. Coyotes also increase the
songbird population because
they eat mesopredators - skunks,
squirrels, raccoons, possums,
rats, etc.” They also see small
pets as prey. However, Poppy
cautions that killing coyotes will
not eradicate them permanently.
“Shoot or poison coyotes
and you will have just as many
again within a year or two. Kill
one or both members of an
alpha pair and other pairs will
form and reproduce,” he said.
“Additionally, lone coyotes will

HAZING HELPS
Hazing coyotes is crucial to make sure they fear humans.
According to Sean Poppy, a researcher with Savannah River
Ecology Lab, coyotes are pack animals and will pass their
knowledge on to their litter. If a coyote is afraid of humans it will
teach its offspring to fear them too. Sullivan’s and IOP have a
brochure that details “hazing” steps to take if you see a coyote,
these include making loud noises, waving your hands or a large
stick at it, throwing objects near it, and spraying it with a hose.
Poppy also suggests the following measures to decrease human/
coyote interaction:
• Never feed a coyote - even inadvertently. Prevent access to pet
food, garbage, compost piles, even bird feeders. Coyotes are
opportunistic feeders and will eat anything they can easily
access.
• Keep cats indoors and watch small dogs.
• If you see a coyote wave your arms, shout, bang things, throw
objects near it (but don’t hit it).
• If a coyote approaches you, lift small pets and children off the
ground and be prepared to defend yourself.
• Coyotes don’t like change - if you are seeing one in your yard
repeatedly, re-arrange your yard furniture every week or so, or
put a new, large object in it
• Do not ignore them - it’s important to frighten them to make
them fearful of all humans.
Poppy stressed that everyone needs to follow these guidelines,
if only half the population does so, it will not be effective. In
particular, he stressed that if you see a coyote you should never
ignore it, always make loud noises and try and scare it off.
