March 2009
Editor’s Note: March 2008
Things to do when you’re bored… Even though it’s March now…when I wrote this, it was January. Ugh. January. Not a whole lot going on in January. So I got to thinking… how does one amuse oneself during a lull in island activities? Here are a few…
St. Patrick’s Day Parade Tips & Cautions!
No, not the one in New York (the biggest) nor Savannah (biggest in the South). It’s the Hilton Head Island St. Patrick’s Day Parade and Celebration. Dozens of floats, thousands of people, in excess of 50 distinguished members of the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Department and…
Tally Ho!
The welcome by Palmetto Bluff’s General Manager, Trip Shine, was over. The comments by the Lowcountry Hunt’s Master of Foxhounds (MFH) were finished. The Huntsman raised his horn and blew out notes “the pack” (this day, 25 couples—that’s 50 hounds) understood. The hounds (never, ever…
Rotary: it’s not necessarily what you think!
What is Rotary, anyway? A bunch of do-gooders? A place to meet business contacts? An old men’s fraternity? Perhaps Rotary is a bit of all three, depending on the club you join. We go in search of answers, and end up at an oyster roast…
Life is Risky Business: Let Kinghorn Insurance help you manage i
You know that life is full of risk, but just how much is absolutely astonishing. Simply leaving your house each day is a risk. Driving your car is another. As Lowcountry residents know, living in the path of natural catastrophes, like hurricanes, is another. Add…
Kathy’s Race
“If you took everything away from me, and all that was left was my students, I would still be happy.” – Kathy Jaworski One thing you can say about the folks who inhabit Hilton Head Island is that they’re a charitable bunch. Look into just about…
Doorman for America: the Immigration Lawyer
In New York City, there are hundreds, maybe even thousands of immigration lawyers. I practiced immigration law from my Manhattan office for nearly three years, and I would dare say that the average New Yorker knows quite a lot about what an immigration lawyer does.…
Buzz Words
At the beginning of the decade, when the focus was on accounting principals and shareholder reports, Wall Street made the phrase “Fuzzy Numbers” famous. As people grew tired of yet another financial scandal and sought out entertainment, the focus turned to athletes, performance enhancing drugs,…
Amos Hummell: Coloring outside the Lines
“Coloring outside of the lines is scary business. Some days I don’t have the courage for it at all. On my big, bold days, though, I let my red crayon just streak across a line. Then I swirl my purple and orange out there with…
Bring on Spring!
March is upon us, Think Spring! And also make your plans to enjoy the Hilton Head Island Wine and Food Festival. The annual celebration starts on Wednesday, March 11 and ends with the Hilton Head Island St. Patrick’s Day parade on Sunday, March 15. Events…
Bernard Lacroute: WillaKenzie Estate
Bernard Lacroute labels himself as co-owner and wine drinker of WillaKenzie Estate. He grew up in a small village on the eastern edge of Burgundy, France, where wine making has been going on for 20 centuries. As a young engineer,…
New Vintage: Three Young Islanders Choose a Life of Wine
In a way, it is easy to understand. On an island where wine consumption was and is considered an essential part of everyday life, some of the local kids are going to get into the business. Three young vintners, with strong ties to Hilton Head…
Pana Roofing
I went to meet German Batisita, owner and operator of Pana Roofing, at his office off of Spanish Wells Road. I met German about 10 years ago when his business was only about three years old. Back then, his business was beginning to build a…

What you need to know about...Taxes
“Complex” does not even begin to describe our tax laws. My copy of the January, 2008 Internal Revenue Code, a compilation of just the basic tax laws, is 9,559 pages, and that’s with really, really small print. My five volumes of tax regulations weigh 16…
Fifth Annual Equestrian Exposition Comes To Rose Hill

What Makes a House a Home?
While many people use the words “house” and “home” interchangeably, a house is really just a physical structure made up of walls, a floor and a roof. A home, on the other hand, is a place of comfort. It’s personal. It evokes a feeling that’s…
Stephens Pharmacy
If you’ve been to the Health & Wellness Center at 2 Marshland Road, you’ve probably discovered Stephens Pharmacy, the independent pharmacy that could be mistaken for an extension of the physicians’ offices. If not, you might want to visit the shop, which pharmacist and owner…
Water: Where is it all going?
Water…… a.k.a. H20. Two parts hydrogen, one part oxygen. A pretty simple formula it seems. Maybe that’s why water is so abundant. Our world is made up of over 70 percent water, so it seems like there could never be a shortage. Unfortunately only one…
He Says - She Says: Plastic Surgery
He Says By Keith Kelson I’d just like to state for the record that I’m not a big fan of plastic surgery for men or women. I’m not totally against it but, I tend to lean towards avoiding surgery unless it’s absolutely necessary. The doctor says that…
Getting Hitched Without a Hitch
