ISLAND EYE NEWS EDITOR

Sullivan’s Island is considering anunprecedented land use changefor its single family residential

On the table is a proposal tow stand-alone structures andeational uses on residential lotsre there is no primary residence.

What this means is that empty,dential lots—which are onlywed to be maintained in theirrent state, have a fence put aroundm or have a single-family residencet on them—could now have ath option, a structure built to

w use of the lot for recreationalposes.ccording to Joe Henderson, then's Zoning Administrator, thisn unprecedented request for then, in fact, for the nation.This is an unusual usage,” Henderson

in an interview with Island Eyews. “I’ve not seen this in any othernicipality across the country. Theest to this is probably the Myrtlech cabana overlay, which wasin place primarily to discourage

elopment in close proximity to thech.” o clarify, the structures themselvesnot be unique to the island. Similaressory structures” are allowed onwith existing residential structureshem. What is new is allowing theme the lot's principle use.he proposal, which would be a textendment to the current ordinance

is currently with the Planningmmission, will apply to residentiallyed lots only, and would require

the owner have a permanentservation easement establishedthe property with a credible

TTER TO THE EDITOR

ullivan’s Island Conversation

r Editor,e’s an imagined conversation between two residents ofivan’s Island in regard to the proposed zoning change to allowcreational structure in place of a house at 3117 Marshalllevard. Whether it ts more into the ction or nonctiongory each reader will have to decide for him or herself.ence O’Sullivan: So I hear that a group of people want to doy with a house on front beach where the erosion is getting badmake it into something else. What’s that all about?

iam Moultrie: Yep, that’s right. Some nearby homeowners havemed some sort of corporation to own the property, remove these and turn it into a recreational facility instead. But, they’recalling it a recreational facility, they’re calling it a “conservationment”.

ullivan: What’s a conservation easement?ltrie: That’s a legal agreement between a property owner,

his case the “corporation” that was formed, and a non-protservation organization, namely, the East Cooper Land Trust.ullivan: So it’s like a donation then.ltrie: Not exactly. There is a value to the property and thengement is permanent, so there may be a tax deductionlable to this group of…hmm…not quite sure what to call them.me call them investors. But they do retain certain rights to theof the property.

ullivan: Like what?

ltrie: Well, like building a recreational shed, complete withage room and shower, and using it to entertain friends andly.

ullivan: But any resident of the Island could use this, right?ltrie: No way. It would be available only to the owners of the

perty.ullivan: So they could hold like another Woodstock or somethinghe beach?ltrie: Well, they say it would be limited to 24 people at a timeonly two cars parked on the property, though for the life of me

not sure who’s going to enforce that. I’m really not clear on whatpens when guest number 25 and 26 shows up.

O’Sullivan: Maybe you could send some of that famous militia of yours to help. But what’s the next step?Moultrie: The Town has to go along with the whole deal through thePlanning Commission and the Town Council.O’Sullivan: Why wouldn’t they go along with it?Moultrie: Because this is a residential lot in a residentialneighborhood on a residential island. Plus it really goes against theComprehensive Plan the Town has approved and re-approved overthe years that was designed to maintain the current residentialcharacter of the island. In addition, essentially the entire current Town Council campaigned on a platform that included maintainingthe current makeup of the island.O’Sullivan: But there would be only one of these easements, sheds,recreational facilities, whatever you want to call it on the island,

right?Moultrie: Au contraire, my friend. If the zoning ordinance is changedit would then apply to whoever else might want to do the samething. You can’t just do it for one group. Even an ofcial from theEast Cooper Land Trust came over and not only urged the PlanningCommission to approve this deal, but also encouraged the Town toloosen up and allow more of this type projects to go on.O’Sullivan: I don’t know. It does seem like something that is donein the name of conservation along with the Land Trust is kinda likemotherhood and apple pie.Moultrie: C’mon, Flo. Get your head out of the 17th century. This isnot exactly like someone donating a hundred acre nature preserve. This is a very small group of people trying to change a very smallpiece of property into something they can use and enjoy to theexclusion of anyone not on the guest list of 24. It does absolutelynothing for you, me or the vast majority of island residents.O’Sullivan: Yeah. I see what you mean. Just one last question. Youdon’t suppose that anyone involved with making a decision on thiswould be close enough friends with the investors to be on that guestlist of 24 do you?Moultrie: Ahhhh…I really couldn’t say.O’Sullivan: Hmmm.(To be continued.)

Following a 10 monthmoratorium imposed on The Morgan Creek Grill

Isle of Palms, outdoor liveic returned the weekend of

tember 4, 2015.ast November, followingplaints from nearbydents, the City of Isle ofms put a stop to the amplied

music being performed onrestaurant's outdoor stage,

ch is on city property that ised to Morgan Creek Grill.

n the intervening monthsgan Creek Grill has worked

the council and residents togate the problem and allowrestaurant to re-start its liveic offerings. The city bannedmusic after a few residentsplained that they were beingturbed in the quiet repose ofr home” by the music, whichviolation of the city’s noise

nance.he owners of Morgan Creekd an acoustic engineer togn an outdoor stage thatld contain and redirectmusic appropriately. After

eriod of testing the resultse been all positive, the Grill's

nager reported to City Councils August meeting.

The stage reduces the levels5 decibels and below,” thel’s manager Carla Pope. “The readings closests

residences surrounding theaurants have been lowered5 decibels [below the level ofmal conversation at a 3 footance]. All comments receivedng the testing process werepositive nature and we arepleased of the results and

feedback.”ouncil agreed and gave the

aurant the go ahead to re-t its live music program.We will vigorously self-nitor all performances,” Popetinued. ‟ We have an amplier a DBA cutoff in place andwill continue to monitor

m certain points within the

grounds.“We have a device tounilaterally turn it down, so wehave complete control over thesounds to the exclusion of themusicians.”

The negative impact of thisprocess on the restaurant hasbeen signicant. Loss of revenuescombined with the high expenseof sound mitigation (Pope said itis around $20,000 and counting),has had a signicant impact onthe restaurant’s bottom line.

“We hope to be able to mitigatethose losses.” Pope said.

The process of workingthrough the dispute between theGrill and some of its neighborsrevealed some issues with thecity's current noise ordinance.

“There are some ambiguities inour noise ordinance that we needto clarify,” the city's attorneysaid at the August meeting. "Itcan be read in a couple differentways, and some things had beenaccidentally deleted over the years.”

Now the issues with MorganCreek Grill have been resolvedand the testing period is over, thecity intends to review the noise

ordinance.“Now we can look at the

ambiguities, which we had put onhold during this testing period soas not to confuse matters,” Linda Tucker, City Administrator, said.

Parking Problems Persist Two residents of Palm

Boulevard spoke at the councilmeeting to express theirconcerns that none of the currentdiscussions about parking onthe island addresses the issueof parking on the lanyard side ofthe boulevard.

“I have concerns about PlanC and what it means for Palm.What was once a beautiful accessis fast becoming a disorganizedmess. The parking has becomeincreasingly precarious onthe non-beach side of PalmBoulevard, people park willy nilly

all over the boulevard. It is notsafe, especially for cars reversingout of their driveways. Parallelparking and no parking within4 feet of the pavement should beenforced.”

Linda Tucker responded sayingthat the public safety committeeis currently discussing whetherto make lanyard side of PalmBoulevard parallel parking andwhether to implement the 4 feetrule. As the road is state ownedhowever, any changes will haveto go through SCDOT.

Connector Trafc Camera

Goes OnlineCouncil authorized a $1,700

payment from ATAX funds toallow public access to the IOPConnector trafc camera.

“We can take an independentfeed of our camera that will beavailable to citizens and public soeverybody can access an app andbe able to have access to what'sgoing on on the IOP.”

The town also reauthorizeda $1,000 sponsorship for theSurfCam that allows people tosee the waterside of the islandonline.

cture would only be allowed by a special exception granted byBoard of Zoning Appeals and would require Design Review Boardew.he Planning Commission opted to allow this use as a specialption—the highest level of oversight, requiring staff level reviewa BZA review to make sure conditions of special exceptionsmet, and the DRB would have to review it for neighborhoodpatibility,” Henderson said.he idea for this recreational structure use came to the townune 2014 when Chad Waldorf, part owner of 3117 Marshallevard, which is wholly owned by an LLC, approached the town

uesting to be able to establish a stand-alone structure on a lota conservation easement. Council sent the proposal to the

ning Commission who developed the current wording for a textndment that would apply to every residential lot on the island (aszoning is not allowed in the Town's ordinances).

fter studying the issue for a number of months, the Planningmission held a public meeting and revised its recommendation

ed on public input to the following:he structure itself can be the only improvement on the lot,verything else—driveways, pools, utilities etc.—would have to beemoved prior to its installation. Commercial and rental activityould be prohibited and a maximum of 24 people would be allowedn the property at any one time.he structure would be required to be open-air (a gazebo, cabanar arbor), and could have a maximum size of 450 sq ft and be at

most 10 feet tall. A maximum of 30 percent of the structure coulde enclosed for storage, but must have breakaway walls and beonstructed within FEMA ood prevention guidelines.o roof top seating, sewer facilities, exterior lighting, outdoor

orage or storage of vehicles or equipment except during daytimese would be allowed. The structure must be setback at least 15et from all property lines and must meet OCRM approval with

egards to the ban on construction seeward of the baseline.second public meeting on the issue is scheduled for Wed., Sept.fore it is sent to Council for its input.approved, this zoning change will create a use for a residential lotis completely different from that of a single family home.hey are completely separate, distinct uses,” Henderson said. “ A

dential use infers that you are going to have someone living in ase or staying there temporarily, if it’s a rental. With the storagerecreation use of a property you have more of a transient use

he property. No one is going to be living there or staying therenight. The main difference is that Town staff will be unaware of

who is using the property.”Consequently, Henderson said, how to enforce these strict rules for

the daily usage of the structure is a concern. Without a permanentresidence on site it will be difcult for the Town and the police toknow who to approach if issues arise.

Additionally, the Townʼs comprehensive plan says residentialdistricts are designed and orientated to keep a single family residentialcharacter. This proposal is clearly a different use and that fact hassome residents up in arms.

“I worry most about frequent, boisterous use of a semi-private beachclub pavilion contrary to our residential core, nature and law underthe canard of ‘retreating’ from building too close to the ocean,” Robert Thompson, a Sullivan's resident, wrote in an email to the PlanningCommission.

“Say you have a party for 25 people. How will it be determined thatthe noise is kept at an acceptable decibel, voices as well as music, sothat neighbors are not disturbed?” President Nancy Siegling Fortiereasked.

However, the Planning Commission is basing its reason to moveahead with this on the fact that it is in keeping with the DHEC/OCRM policy of retreat from the shoreline. This policy advocates theremoval of development from the beach wherever possible.

“This is where the conservation easement comes in,” Hendersonsaid. “It is removing a more intensive development (a single familyhome) from a beachfront property. This will help with reducingintensive use of land.”

The proposed amendment would require that any land grantedthis special use exception be put into a conservation easement forperpetuity, to prevent the possibility of this structure one day beingturned into a habitable property.

The Coastal Conservation League has spoken in favor of theidea, because it encourages a retreat from the shoreline and thedevelopment of lower impact structures in place of the high impact of

a single family home.“Retreat must be considered and continue to be a policy for our

state to pursue, especially in light of sea level rise, climate change,and the damages that will be done to properties directly in the line ofre,” Katie Zimmerman, Program Director of the CCL, said in a letterto the Planning Commission. “ The proposed changes to the Sullivan'sZoning Ordinance are an innovative way to incorporate a policy ofretreat.”

The benet for the land is the smaller use. However, as Hendersonpoints out, there is nothing prohibiting a property owner fromremoving a house and not developing on it at all.

“ The conservation easement is a stand alone issue—it doesn’t involvetown. At any point a property owner can remove all development froma lot and nd a conservation agency to put it into an easement.”

ur extraordinary coastline is in peril. Don’t DrillLowcountry is a grassroots movement, led bySullivan’s Island residents who are working

to protect South Carolina’s pristine shore fromseismic testing and offshore oil drilling. As the anti-drilling movement has surged across the Southeastregion, Don’t Drill Lowcountry has joined forces withother citizen groups to form a coalition across SouthCarolina, Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia. Don'tDrill Lowcountry’s aim is to inform and empowercitizens of South Carolina to ask our elected ofcials tostop offshore drilling in the Atlantic.

Don't Drill Lowcountry will hold a Public Rally andLaunch on September 15 with the Keynote addressesby Congressman Mark Sanford and Senator ChipCampsen. Hamilton Davis, Energy Program Directorfor the Coastal Conservation League, will also speak.

The event is open to the public and begins at 6:30 p.m.with speakers at 7 p.m.. Drinks provided by PalmettoBrewing. The event will be held at the CharlestonHarbor Resort Yacht Club, 32 Patriots Point Road, Mt.Pleasant.

Don't Drill Lowcountry began as a small group of

ordinary citizens with a deep love of our extraordinarycoast. In no time, the group formed alliances withsimilar groups across the state and up and downthe South Atlantic coast, with a common mission toeducate and advocate residents of South Carolina aboutthe devastating impact that offshore drilling posesfor our pristine coastline, vibrant tourism industry,spectacular beaches and scenic coastal towns.

Famous street artist Shepard Fairey has thrown hissupport behind Don't Drill Lowcountry by offering his

Paradise Turns graphic to the cause.Dick Wildermann, a Seabrook Island resident who

worked for over 25 years for the U.S. Department of theInterior’s Offshore Oil and Gas Program, supports the

group’s focus on educating the public about the risksposed by offshore drilling.

“The intrinsic value of our natural resourcesfar exceeds any perceived benets of offshore oildevelopment. Big oil may seem to be an economicopportunity, but it has less appeal when you lookunder the hood. The activities, infrastructure, andinevitable pollution associated with offshore oil wouldforever transform the Lowcountry way of life,” saidWildermann.

The South Carolina coast has almost universallycome out in opposition to offshore drilling. Twentyone local jurisdiction in South Carolina have passedresolutions opposing offshore drilling including theIsle of Palms, Sullivan’s Island, the City of Charleston,Charleston County, Folly Beach, McClellanville, Mt.Pleasant, Kiawah, Seabrook, Hilton Head, Beaufort,Edisto Beach, Myrtle Beach, Georgetown and AtlanticBeach. Columbia has also joined in the opposition.

Congressman Sanford and Senator Campsen arestanding up in support of their constituents to opposeoffshore drilling:

“In the case of South Carolina, weighing the balancebetween large blocks of untouched coastal estuarineareas, and in other parts, an established tourismindustry, against the potential benets of drillingis not something that Washington ofcials are bestpositioned to do. In my view, it makes little senseto even conduct tests when the states and regionsaffected will have no say in the process of determining – especially when factoring potential impacts on theenvironment, tourism, along with other risks inherentin the process,” Sanford said.

“I have observed rsthand the land-basedinfrastructure necessary to support offshore drilling.It is not a pretty sight. It is extensive, dirty and highlyindustrial. There simply is no place on South Carolina’scoast appropriate for this kind of industrialization,”Campsen said.

No to free standing structures

r Editor,resident of Sullivan's Island I have many concerns consideringree standing structures currently being proposed on Sullivan's

nd.rimary, of course, is how they could be built as to withstandurricane force winds and tidal surges. In the event of such aorm, what is to ensure that they will not come loose and doamage to a neighboring property? Would there be a plan tossess responsibility in such a case to allow for fair insuranceoverages?

ay you have a party for 25 people. How will it be determined thate noise is kept at an acceptable decibel, voices as well as music,

o that neighbors are not disturbed? If there is parking arrangedr two cars, where do the other 10+ cars park without llinge narrow neighborhood streets? Would "one side of the street

arking" be able to be enforced?there are to be no outside lights, how do people see to get toe site in the dark? And even with inside lights, what might bee danger to the turtles that I must turn my porch lights out for

uring season?there is to be no plumbing, what is the plan for people who are

bviously going to be drinking beer and other spirits? Portableilets should be out of the question in a family orientated beachhere anyone might use them when they spot them on theroperty when no one is on the property.Keg parties” and other alcohol consumption would be nearly

mpossible to monitor and would be sure to spread out onto theeach where alcohol is prohibited. There is only one police ofcernight, I am told, and he is generally locked in the police station

nd not patrolling the Island.ules would have to be established for weekday/weeknightarties when an ofcer should be monitoring the Middle Street/tation 22 1/2 area and may need to be in the area of thetructure” as well.re the residents of the Island expected to pay for any extraolicing of private parties that could conceivably get out of hand?e now know that Sullivan's Island sadly is known as a party-land and that there are often people who disrespect the Island.here is no need to encourage more.eople love their dogs and believe they were born to run on theeach. This would be hard to monitor, especially as each oneould be required to have a licence and a special collar. Without

direct ban on dogs, the owners for an evening party would haveobtain and pay for their necessary items earlier in the daynot bring the dog. How do you plan on advising "everyone"the Sullivan Island dog rules before they come to the island?

ogistically this is difcult to do.the property is put into a conservation easement, in the future

an the land be purchased by someone who wants a lot touild on? The property mentioned, is not owned solely by Chadaldorf. It is owned by an LLC.uppose one of the members wants to sell his portion? Whatules have been put into force that could ensure that this isossible? As a conservation easement, which is permanent, howoes one of the owners, or his issue, inherit or sell some or all of?nd how are taxes and insurance determined?

Conservation Easements” are to remain ‟ natural” andndeveloped” . This indicates no landscaping can be done on

and if and when the trees move into the area, they cannot bendscaped. They must be allowed to continue to overtake the

property. Is the property owner willing to take this on?• Sullivan's island is not rural, suburban, or urban by nature.

It is a Township with its own rules and laws. Rusty Bennett,3124 Marshall Blvd., a neighbor of this property, has said it isnot likely that others will seek the change for this ordinance foranother specic property. As I understand it, this is to cover allproperty owners on the island and should not favor one propertyowner over another.

• It has been suggested that the "Planning Commission consideromitting references to parties and social events". What else mightit be used for, for people who have torn down their house andbuilt a structure of this nature, with no plumbing?

• I also ask how a drastic change such as this, to the town ofSullivan's Island—ostensibly setting it up to be the next Myrtle

Beach—can be effected when there are so many vacancies (asshown in the most recent Island newsletter) on the PlanningCommission (4 seats), the Board of Zoning Appeals (5), and theDesign Review Board (3)? It appears to be far from a quorumin any one of them. How can it be expected to make a goodconscience vote on behalf of the townʼs voters?

• Enough has already been taken away from voter's rights by secretmeetings of Town Council, which fortunately has now presumablybeen stopped by the State Supreme Court.

• And last but not least, I want to know why this has all beenshoved through so quickly for one person when there are dozensof families who, for the better part of 20 years, have been tryingto recoup their front beach views and breezes from the ocean thatthey paid for and are heavily taxed on.

It is abhorrent!

A Cleaner Island and Beach

Whenever I go for a walk anywhere on the island, whether it is thestreets or the beach, I'm always picking up trash. It is always verypleasing to see other people do it and also the ones that are walkingtheir dogs.

I understand that there are numerous reasons why people leavetheir litter or dog feces bag behind. I do see people picking up afterthemselves and their dogs. We even have different clubs sponsoringthe county “Adopt a Highway” program, along with beach cleanupsevery year. The town of Sullivan's Island has trash cans at everybeach access.

The people who live and visit Sullivan's Island know that we have

one of the best jewels in the United States that Mother Nature canoffer anywhere in the world.

It would be nice to see more people pitching in.

Connector at Palm Boulevard where the racebegins at 8 a.m.

First to seize the bridge are the 10K runnersfollowed by 5K participants. It is a cool fallmorning, the sun is above the horizon, andthe quiet air is only slightly disturbed withthe sounds of footsteps, chatter, and quietlaughter as the racers charge up the bridge,alone and also in groups, adults, children andfamilies. At the top of the bridge, participantsunderstand why this is truly the best run inthe Lowcountry when the view becomes sospectacular as to take your breath away.

Near the water station at the top of thebridge, 5K runners and walkers will turnaround on the Connector to return back tothe Isle of Palms.

T he story of “Jammer” began on the morning of April25, 2011 when a loggerhead washed up on thebeach near the Windjammer on the Isle of Palms.

When the Turtle Patrol was called to respond to thistranding and saw this turtle, it appeared to be dead. It

as suffering from what is known as Debilitated Turtleyndrome (DTS) and was totally encrusted with severalpecies of barnacles. This means that this poor, sickurtle had been lethargic for quite a long time. DTSurtles become emaciated with extremely poor bloodalues resulting in death if it progresses too far. Thenly clue that this immobile turtle had not died washat it still had a blink response when we touched theorner of its eye.Jammer was taken to the South Carolina

quarium’s Turtle Hospital where his heart rate wasmeasured at only seven beats per minute! He was

uly at death’s door. Because of the excellent medicalare administered by the Sea Turtle Rescue staff andolunteers, Jammer turned the corner, began to eat,st those pesky barnacles, and made a miraculous

ecovery. On May 18, 2012 over a year later, he waseleased just a few blocks from the Windjammer athe Isle of Palms County Park. Pictures of him at theelease show a beautiful, clean, chubby and robustggerhead. He is only one of 172 sea turtles saved and

eleased to date from this excellent facility.What is “Jammin’ for Jammer” and why do we do it?The Isle of Palms and Sullivan’s Island Turtle Team

ecided to have a special party in Jammer’s honor eacheptember to commemorate this success story and toelp raise funds for the incredibly expensive task ofaring for and providing medication and treatment foratients such as Jammer.The exciting news today is that the SC Aquarium is

lanning a new state of the art ve million dollar seaurtle hospital to open in the spring of 2017 on the mainoor of the building. So we are proud to be able to help

n our small way to raise funds for that project. It willve 430,000 visitors a year a chance to observe the caref turtles like Jammer through viewing windows. It willnclude new triage units, new rehabilitation tanks, anxercise pool, more laboratory and life support space,ew medical equipment including a CT scanner, andill still have an intensive care unit in the basement.So come on out to The Windjammer on Wednesday,

eptember 23 from 7-10 p.m. There will be live music,reat food, a cash bar, and a $20 donation at the dooro help the Sea Turtle Rescue Program and the newurtle hospital. There will also be a fabulous silentuction. We’ve even been told that “Fletch,” the 7 footurtle from Juno Beach will make a repeat visit just forhis event. The sponsors are the Island Turtle Team,he Island Eye News, The Windjammer, and Allegra

esign, Marketing and Print.Come and bring your friends. We guarantee you willave a great time and you will be having a positive

mpact on sea turtle conservation at the same time.

T he CSS “Hunley” was the rst submarine to successfully sink anenemy warship, the USS Housatonic, off the coast of Charleston,February 17, 1864. The wreckage was found in 1995, 4 miles

off the coast of Sullivan’s Island, preserved under a layer of sand, siltand sediment. In 2000, 136 years later, The “Hunley” was raised andremains one of the most important military nds of the century.

Goat Island Treasure Boxes are hand-made by Sarah Sanders, alocal, retired Charleston County School Teacher and Coach. Sinceseriously beginning her production of the Treasure Boxes in 2007,she has progressed to 14 total lines of Goat Island Treasure Boxes,including The Charleston Hospitality Box, The Hilton Head Box, TheSweetgrass Box, The South Carolina State Motto Box, The TurtleHatchlings Box and 11 others that all pay tribute to some facet ofSouth Carolina life.

Goat Island, South Carolina, is a small barrier island, 200 yardsacross the Intracoastal Waterway from Isle of Palms, SC. In the early’30s, a man and his wife, Blanche and Henry Holloway, lived therein self-exile without electricity or water, with a herd of goats. BothHenry and Blanche had passed away by 1963. Some 80 years laterthe small strip of land between Mt. Pleasant and the Isle of Palmsis still known as Goat Island and continues to be sought after bymany hoping to escape the hustle and bustle of life in the city. Stillseparated from civilization by water, this small and simple rusticisland continues to be a relaxing retreat for the lucky ones who areable to visit or live there.

Enough of Spyware andwhat is wrong with thisand that new stuff, let's

about some free stuff! Wheniding to add programs to your

mputer you have two options,something or opt for a free

ion.here are free alternativesMicrosoft's Ofce suite,

rosoft's own Ofce 365 beinglatest. There is also "Open

ce," an open-sourced suite

programs designed to workch like Microsoft's programs.re are a few options hereuding Apache Open Ofcewww.openofce.org or Libren Ofce at www.libreofce.Both are ne alternatives

Ofce, look very similar toce and do basically the same,ate documents, spreadsheets,werPoint-like presentations

databases.or editing and organizing yourures, Picasa (www.picasa.

m) from Google does a goodof helping you your memoriesre you can nd them. Youedit them, print them, send

m in an email, etc.otor (www.fotor.com) getsh praise for its editing ability,s it has Android and iPhones. GIMP (www.gimp.org/) istoshop-like program for free,

sort of. It's like the "free"ce products above, similar

but not exactly the same butfor the price you can't beat it.It does take some getting usedto and is not for the basic user,more for either the experiencedor someone willing to get reallyinvolved with photo editing.

The website www.creativebloq.com/photoshop/alternatives-1131641 offers someother paid and free alternativesfor both PC and Macs. Not allfree but very reasonably priced

and very good alternativesto expensive programs likePhotoshop.

OK, just a bit about Malware...there are many free antivirusprograms available too. A fewto consider include Panda FreeAntivirus, Bitdefender Antivirusfree, Ad-adware free antivirus(www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php) or AvastFree. If you are running Windows7, Microsoft Security Essentialsis always a good choice. For mostpeople these will do ne, do notfall for the up-sell to the paidversion. If you nd that malware isstill causing problems you mightwant to schedule an appointmentwith an IT professional.

Finally, there are a few greatOutlook-style email programs you can download onto yourcomputer so you don't have touse a web browser to check youremail. On Windows 7 or 8/8.1

you can install Windows LiveMail and use it to view and send your email just like the Ofceprogram Outlook (not the onlineOutlook). It has a calendar andis very handy for working with

email. When installing Live Mail you will have options to installother programs that come with"Essentials" suite, pick what you want. I would suggest notselecting the Bing program asit will change your InternetExplorer settings and home page.In fact when you install any freeprogram it will likely come withother programs you may notwant, be sure to click "advancedinstall" and uncheck those if youdon't want them.

Another email alternative isfrom Mozilla, who makes theFirefox web browser. Its called

Thunderbird (www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird). It's alsosimilar to Microsoft's Outlook inthat in downloads your emails

to your computer and you viewthem without going online.

I did not forget the Mac people,but Macs already come with alot of free programs as you'vealready paid an arm and a leg!

Mac's Mail program is great foremails, Pages is Apple's Word,Numbers is Excel and Keynotedoes PowerPoint stuff. Use them,they work well on Macs andif you must have Ofce thenOpenOfce is available for Macsand it's still free. Most of theprograms I listed for PC's haveMac alternatives that are alsofree. For Malware protection onMac laptop/desktops considerusing Sophos.

So go ahead and enjoy the freethings in life….

FINANCIAL FOCUS21m er 11, 2015

n recent months, stocks have fallen sharply from their recordhighs, with one-day drops that can rightfully be called “dizzying.”As an investor, what are you to make of this volatility?For one thing, you’ll nd it useful to know the probable causes of

market gyrations. Most experts cite global fears about China’snomic slowdown, falling oil prices and anticipation of a move byFederal Reserve to raise interest rates as the key factors behindstock market’s decline.

On the other hand, the U.S. economy is still doing fairly well.ployers are adding jobs at a pretty good clip, wages are rising,

me prices are up and overall economic growth has been reasonablyd. In other words, we are in a vastly better place than in theiod before the Great Recession of 2008 and early 2009, when theancial markets bottomed out.Nonetheless, it’s only natural that you might feel some trepidationr what’s been happening in the nancial markets over the pastweeks. So, what should you do? Here are a few suggestions:

Expect more of the same. Be prepared for more volatility,potentially including big drops one day followed by big gains thenext. Until the factors considered responsible for the current

volatility – that is, China’s slowing economy, low oil prices andthe Federal Reserve’s decision on rates – have been fully absorbedinto the market’s pricing mechanisms, big price swings, one wayor another, are to be expected.

Don’t panic. The headlines may look grim, but today’s

newspapers are tomorrow’s recycling pile. Volatility is nothingnew, and the nancial markets are more resilient than you maythink.

Look for opportunities. By denition, a downturn occurs wheninvestors sell massive amounts of stocks, but it actually maybe a good time to buy them, while their price is down. Look atthe most successful businesses and their products and services.If you can envision these companies still being around andthriving in ten years, why wouldn’t you want to buy their stocksat potentially lower prices?

Diversify. During the downturn, just about everyone’s portfoliowas affected. But if yours took a particularly large hit, it mightbe because your holdings are over-concentrated in stocks,

especially the types of stocks that fared the worst. You may need tofurther diversify your portfolio through a mixture of domestic andinternational stocks, bonds, government securities, real estate,certicates of deposit (CDs) and other vehicles. Diversication,

by itself, can’t guarantee a prot or prevent against all losses,but it can help blunt the harshest effects of volatility.

• Review your investment strategy. Unless your goals havechanged, there’s no reason to revise your long-term investmentstrategy, even in the face of wild uctuations in the nancialmarkets. Still, it’s always a good idea to review your strategyat least once a year, possibly in consultation with a nancialprofessional. You may need to make smaller-scale adjustmentsin response to changes in the economy, interest rates, and so on,but don’t abandon your core principles, such as maintaining aportfolio that reects your goals, risk tolerance and time horizon.

Investing will never be either risk-free or predictable. But bytaking the steps described above, you can relieve some of the stressassociated with volatility and help yourself stay on track toward yournancial objectives.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. Investorsshould understand the risks involved of owning investments,including interest rate risk, credit risk and market risk. The valueof investments uctuates and investors can lose some or all of theirprincipal. Special risks are inherent to international investing,including those related to currency uctuations and foreign politicaland economic events.
