August 2010 - HEALTH NOTE: Allergy Myths...BUSTED
As if suffering from allergies isn’t enough, many allergy sufferers have to sift through conflicting evidence to separate fact from fiction. To set the record straight, here are some of the more common myths about allergies and the facts that debunk them: 1) “I have a…
Beware Of Alligator
With the island bursting at the seams with tourists this time of year, we thought it was high time for a brush-up course on our favorite lagoon loungers: gators. Yes, we think they’re pretty special too, but common sense tells us to admire them from…
Bigfoot….carbon that is
Sasquatch. Ten foot tall. 500 pounds. His foot, double the size of a shoebox! Do you believe? The scientific community considers Bigfoot to be a combination of folklore, misidentification, and hoaxes. But a bigger “Bigfoot” has come to life, and the scientific community considers it to…
E.A.C. • The Next Generation
As Patrick Epperson, Jr. was explaining Internet-based HVAC (heat, ventilation air conditioning) monitoring and control systems, Pat Epperson, Sr. listened attentively to his son. “I’m learning something here, too,” he said, smiling. “There is definitely a new generation of equipment, of communicating. It’s the next wave,”…

JUNE 2012: Behind The Gates - Colleton River Plantation Club and Moss Creek
Ask the people who live there why they chose Colleton River Plantation Club, and they will probably give you one of two answers. It’s either the two elite golf courses or the natural beauty of the land and surrounding water. Since one begets the other,…
Leading The Way: Green Building in the Lowcountry
Have you heard? Green is the future of the building industry. No, that doesn’t mean we’re all going to live in houses of the same color. “Green” is the catchall phrase for technologies and materials that improve a building’s energy efficiency. If you pay utility…
Looking For An Excellent Adventure? Find It ON THE WATER
Hilton Head Island is paradise, and opportunities for fun abound on our beaches and beyond. Think miniature golf, face painting, psychics, surf shops, bars, clubs, shopping centers, and movies. But why not make use of the immaculate water right at our doorsteps and try an…
MAY 2012: Mayors Drew Laughlin and Lisa Sulka
Cardiovascular disease is the largest killer in the industrialized world. As reported in the USA Today, US News & World Report, and many medical journals, the survival rate for sudden cardiac arrest varies tremendously from community to community—from as low as 5 percent to as…
On the Water
I can’t swim a lick. In fact, I sink like a stone. Even when I’ve put on a few pounds and think the added chub might increase buoyancy, no dice. My fat doesn’t even float. I must have dense fat. Nice image, huh? So, since I…
Protect Your Skin! DERMATOLOGY ASSOCIATES OF THE LOWCOUNTRY
EAU D’ WHAT? Not all things French are sexy and sophisticated. Take the term “p’eau d’orange,” for instance. P’eau d’orange means “like the skin of an orange,” which is basically what your face looks like with sun damage—raised, bumpy, tough, less than attractive. Sun damage is…
Quail Hunting on Rowe Farms: The C2 crew heads to Estill, SC for a day of Lowcountry fun with Jimmy Rowe.
Home Sweet Home One could not have asked for a more gracious host than Mr. Rowe. As we pulled down the long driveway to the lodge at Rowe Farms, three four-legged greeters came to meet us with tails wagging. A roaring fire pit surrounded by rocking…

The Answer is Blowin’ the Wind
Wind is air convection currents caused by the sun’s uneven heating of the earth’s surface. Earth’s rotation, terrain and land/water mix all contribute to wind flows. For example, during the day, air over land warms quicker and rises, causing cooler marine air to rush in.…
TOP TEN: A Top Ten Tour of Hilton Head and the Lowcountry
Take a hike on a bike The history of Hilton Head Island’s commitment to bicycle pathways goes all the way back to Charles Fraser and the very beginnings of Sea Pines, although the impact, perhaps, is just being realized today. Depending on whom you believe (no…
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…

What's Buggin' You? A Day in the life of a Critter Getter
As Joe Maffo spoke outside his Hilton Head Island office, something was moving inside his T-shirt. The small bump started inching to his waist then suddenly switched direction and raced up his chest. A tiny alligator head popped out of his shirt collar…
