Maunz, whose book, “Questions of BY JUDY DREW FAIRCHILD
Perspective,” “is sort of autobiographical,” moved FOR THE ISLAND EYE NEWS
with his wife and son to the Lowcountry in

January of this year, after spending most of his
life in the New York City area. He put in a decade
as a litigator, “doing the billable hours thing,”
spending 10 hours or more a day in his office
and working on weekends as well. His life took a
turn for the better in August 2015, when he was
hired by AIG.
“I finally had the energy to start writing,” he
said, pointing out that he had written in the past,
“but just for fun.”
Working a few hours a night, he completed
“Questions of Perspective” in 2019 and started
looking for a publisher. Black Rose Writing, a
Texas-based independent publishing house, was
interested. On May 14, the book will be available
at Amazon and on BarnesandNoble.com.
Maunz, who still works remotely for AIG,
intends to continue his writing career, in part

Isle of Palms Mayor’s Message
T
he Isle of Palms City Council has a
full plate for 2020. As we have been
discussing for years, and planning for
months, we are set to start our Public Safety
Building renovation in March. We have five
mobile office trailers to house both the Police
and Fire Department headquarters. We have
begun the relocation process and hooking
the trailers to the utilities, cable and such.
The city’s new 75-foot ladder truck will be
delivered in the coming weeks, plus our
newly refurbished 95-foot ladder truck is in
the final stages of completion. In addition,
we continue to work with Thomas & Hutton
on the final design and state and federal
permitting process for the improvements
to the three drainage outfalls located at
the end of 30th, 36th and 41st avenues.
The construction of the drainage project is
estimated at $2.9 million.
The city is also waiting on the final
set of permits for the IOP Marina dock
rehabilitation project. The docks along
Morgan Creek have exceeded the end of
their useful life and need to be replaced.
The city is working with Applied Technology
& Management, who is developing the final
drawings and specifications for the project.
Once the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
issues the final permit, the city will be able to
complete the bid documents to competitively
procure the repair work. The project will
also include needed maintenance on the
bulkhead. The goal is for construction to
start after Labor Day. The cost of this project
is estimated at $3.2 million.
Last month, the city held a public
CIVIC
workshop to gather feedback about the
community’s vision for the IOP Marina. We
had a packed house, and, due to the fire
code, we could not fit in the room everyone
who wanted to participate. However, lots
of folks submitted a written form at the
meeting, and many others provided feedback
on an online form available on the city’s
website – www.iop.net. The city is working
on compiling the results of the public
comments, the written comments and the
online questionnaires. It’s not too late to go to
www.iop.net and look under “Latest News” at
the top and fill out the questionnaire on what
you, our residents, envision at the marina.
The city wants what our residents want; it is
not about any one Council members’ vision
but about what our residents want.
The city is also going through a due
diligence period for the restaurant lease. We
feel confident we will be moving forward with
something that will best suit our residents’
desire for a waterside dining spot.
This month, the city held the first
budgeting workshop to discuss our goals for
the next budget year and prioritize among
the projects and needs the city is faced with
in the coming years. It is clear that drainage
remains at the top of the list. There were
preliminary discussions about the possibility
of pursuing a larger island-wide drainage
project. We know this is a priority for our
community, and we need to determine how
to best approach it and how it will be funded.
Other discussions included the rehabilitation
of the Waterway Boulevard multi-use path
and the future maintenance of the city-
www.islandeyenews.com
owned portion of Ocean Boulevard between
10th and 14th avenues. There are all kinds
of wish list items that some would like to
have, but we need to take care of our needs
first. Equally important to me is that we
ensure that we take care of our city family.
It is getting tougher and tougher to compete
with the growth of neighboring cities and
their need for experienced and professional
employees. We as a city need to constantly
understand that the cost of living in our
area is higher than the national average and
is always going up. Most of our employees
must travel significant distances to get to
work, and this travel is both time-consuming
and expensive. Our employees are the best.
They are professionals who are committed to
serving our community, and we need to let
them know that we support them and their
needs.
The city needs to stay laser focused on all
these important projects that will enhance
and protect our quality of life and on
retaining our highly-skilled and experienced
personnel. We have the lowest tax millage
around, and the city has not raised taxes for
a number of years because we have always
remained fiscally conservative. However,
there comes a time when we need to increase
revenues to pursue important projects and
to ensure the same level of service for our
community.
Thank you for allowing me to serve as your
mayor, and thank you for electing a great
City Council.

Sullivan’s Island Mayor’s Message
Dear Island Neighbors,
Served up this month, some upcoming Island
events you won’t want to miss and some important
information about calling for police or fire
assistance.
WEARIN’ O’ THE GREEN ON SULLIVAN’S ISLAND
I: PADDY IN THE PARK
Bring the family out on Saturday, March 14, for
our early St. Patrick’s Day celebration in the Stith
Park from 10 a.m. to noon. Lots of entertainment
for young and old! Hazel Ketchem will be performing
Irish music between 10 a.m. and 11 a.m. and No
Sleeves Magic will be performing from 11 a.m. to
noon. There will be balloon twisters, face painters
and a glitter tattoo artist, not to mention cookies,
fruit, water and lucky lemonade. As always, this
event is free!
WEARIN’ O’ THE GREEN ON SULLIVAN’S ISLAND
II: PUBLIC PUB EVENTS
Starting at 11 a.m. the same Saturday, March
14, the whole family can enjoy food, drinks and
other fun from our local pubs and restaurants
in the commercial district. You’ll be able to enjoy
food, beverages and entertainment outside of the
establishments on the south side of Middle Street
from the corner of Station 22 through Station 22½,
and also – as is traditional – on Station 22½, which
will be closed to vehicles for the block between
Middle and I’On but which will re-open to vehicular
traffic no later than 6:30 p.m. Middle Street is open
to vehicles throughout all this.
MAKING SURE THE COAST IS CLEAN
Through a partnership of the Sullivan’s Island
Park Foundation and the South Carolina Aquarium,
we now have a monthly community event to help
clean up our beach and at the same time contribute
valuable data about the state of our beaches.
Our beach sweep is the first Monday of every
month, so the next one will be March 2 from 4:30
p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Everyone meets in the bus circle
at Sullivan’s Island Elementary School to pick up
gloves and bags. We invite islanders of all ages to
come out and pick up trash, not only on the beach
but in the parks and on the streets as well. (So it’s
really an “Island Sweep”!)
And it’s a valuable research project with local
relevance. All trash picked up is recorded and goes
into the Aquarium’s database so they can track
the ongoing health of our beaches. For more info:

What’s up, docks?
SI COUNCIL DISCUSSES POLICY CHANGES
BY CHARLES CLAXTON
FOR THE ISLAND EYE NEWS
M
embers of the Sullivan’s Island Town Council discussed asking
the Planning Commission to take another look at an ordinance
that keeps residents from building docks on the back side of
the Island at their regularly scheduled meeting Feb. 18. Among other
topics, they also delved into the possibility of paid parking and made
the final decisions concerning the town’s upcoming St. Patrick’s Day
celebration.
Before those issues were aired, however, Council members held a
separate meeting, where David Cheatwood with Tryon Advisors made
a presentation on installment purchase revenue bonds. The bottom
line is that the municipality has approximately $40 million in planned
projects in the coming years, including improvements to the fire
station and the commercial district, the wastewater treatment plant
and the construction of storage facilities. The wastewater treatment
plant, the Council’s most pressing issue, carries a price tax of nearly
$15 million, while lift stations are expected to cost an additional $4.6
million, and storm water improvements also are critical.
The Town of Sullivan’s Island will be paying off the bond over 25
years with a 3% interest rate, with payments estimated at $1.1 million
annually.
Councilmen and members of the audience learned that the Town is
in an excellent financial position, with a comfortable tax base and high
median household income. The Town is permitted to pull from any
legally available funds to make the annual bond payment.
As the presentation, and the first of two back-to-back Council
meetings, ended, Council members sought a few clarifications on the
loan, but any confusion was quickly resolved.
At the conclusion of the presentation, the Council moved on to its
normally scheduled meeting, beginning with the always entertaining
comments from local residents. Susan Middaugh was the first to
approach the podium. An island resident who opposes the recent
effort to amend an ordinance that would permit the construction of

Saving our maritime forest

on the Island) and Liam Bulsiewicz. Photo taken on Nov.

OPINION-EDITORIAL
BY LARRY KOBROVSKY
T
he fight to save our maritime forest
continues. If you haven’t done so,
please visit the forest; the entrance
at Station 16 is a great place to start.
Experience for yourself the gift that God
and nature have given us. While much of
the green space in the Lowcountry is being
bulldozed and covered with concrete and our
coastline is vanishing because of rising sea
levels, we have been miraculously gifted with
a thriving maritime forest.
Nature created the accreted land on which
our maritime forest is growing through a
process known as sediment transport. As
this land accumulates, trees grow on it and
provide a habitat for wildlife.
Two local landowners are suing the Town
of Sullivan’s island over land that they do not
own, on the basis that the maritime forest
is an obstruction to their view of the ocean,
that it’s an eyesore and that the wildlife
that lives there are varmints, pests and a
nuisance to them.
A more reasonable cause of action would
be for them to sue God and the Atlantic
Ocean for having the audacity to cause the
sediment to build up on our Island and to
permit trees and animals to exist there.
The two landowners who are suing claim
that the accreted land should remain the
same as it was in 1991, just two years
after Hurricane Hugo flattened our Island.
Apparently, it’s an outrage that the trees
www.islandeyenews.com
continue to grow without their permission.
The Supreme Court of South Carolina
took action last week that has delayed the
outcome of this case but made no decision
as to whether our maritime forest will be cut
down or trimmed for the sake of the ocean
view of the two landowners. What the court
did was to send the case back to the trial
court to make findings of fact regarding the
deed restrictions place on the land when the
Lowcountry Open Land Trust deeded the
land back to the Town in 1991.
The first line of the deed in question
specifically states: “Whereas the Lowcountry
Open land Trust (the grantor) is a nonprofit
corporation whose purpose is to preserve and
conserve natural areas, and … the parties
desire to place restrictions upon the property
for the purpose of, inter-alia, retaining
land or water areas predominately in their
natural, scenic, open or wooded condition or
a suitable habitat for fish, plants or wildlife.”
It simply defies logic that cutting down our
maritime forest to 3 feet high would preserve
the land in question as a natural wooded
area or a habitat for wildlife.
Please contact your Town Council members
and demand that they fight to preserve our
maritime forest in a manner consistent with
the purpose the land was deeded to our
Town: as a wooded natural area suitable for
wildlife.

Reese announced the details of the St. Patrick’s Day festivities. FOR THE ISLAND EYE NEWS
Activities begin at 11 a.m. on March 14. Middle Street to Station
22½ will be blocked off for outdoor alcohol service until 5 p.m.,
at which time the roads will be opened, except the area in front
of Dunleavy’s, which will remain closed until no later than 6:30
p.m.
With plans for the upcoming celebration out of the way, the
Council moved on to committee reports.
Mayor Pat O’Neil gave his report, citing a recent survey by
Dominion Energy in which 247 palmetto trees were marked as
dangerous to power lines. The number of trees that will be lost
has been cut dramatically, however.
The administrator’s report noted that 89 pounds of trash
was collected off the beach in 2019. Additionally, approval for
construction adjacent to the fire station will hopefully begin by
d the end of this year, with the design being approved as early as
March if all things go according to plan.
Councilman Bachman Smith offered a summary of the Water
and Sewer Committee’s movement regarding replacing the lift

stations. Many citizens are concerned about noise, as well as
about the aesthetic appeal of the planned facilities. Smith noted
that raising the height of the fencing will decrease the possibility
of noise pollution from the lift stations.
Many people are concerned about the recent increase in
car break-ins, and councilmen weighed in on the issue during
Reese’s Public Safety presentation. The Council called for Police
Chief Chris Griffin to present the details of the crimes along
with possible preventive measures that can be taken. Griffin
essentially urged local residents to lock their vehicle doors and
asked the public to report any suspicious activity to 911.

FOR THE ISLAND EYE NEWS

N
o one can tell the fascinating stories of our local
history quite as well as Roy Williams, an exceptionally
knowledgeable historian and engaging storyteller. Williams
has been invited by the Battery Gadsden Cultural Center and
National Park Service to tell stories of the Jonathan Lucas family
based on his recently published book, co-authored by Alexander
Lucas Lofton: “Rice to Ruin: The Jonathan Lucas Family in South
Carolina, 1783-1929.”
You will not want to miss hearing his presentation on March
19, from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the Fort Moultrie Visitor Center
Auditorium, 1214 Middle St. in Sullivan’s Island. Local historian Roy Williams.
Jonathan Lucas, a young Englishman, arrived by shipwreck at
Cape Romain. During his remarkable lifetime, he revolutionized
the rice industry with a new design for rice mills – powered by

POLAR
tidal flow – that ushered in the era when rice was king in the
Lowcountry and planters, including the Lucas family, garnered
magnificent fortunes.

PLUNGE
Lucas family records include the letters from a Jonathan
Lucas grandson whose militia service placed him at Fort Moultrie
during the Civil War bombardment from Fort Sumter. He vividly
describes the impact of the war on Sullivan’s Island, including
the Lucas family beach house that was scavenged by soldiers for
firewood. He did not anticipate the enormous impact this war
would have on his family’s fortunes.
Today, although the era of rice is long past, the footprints of
the Lucas family can still be found throughout the Lowcountry, The Isle of Palms Polar Plunge, which raises
from street names in Mount Pleasant to grand Charleston homes money for the Special Olympics, was held Feb.
