POA Information
General Manager’s Report
Welcome Board Members
Congratulations to Jonathan Doe, James Lucas, and
Mary Ann B. Strayer for their election to the POA Board.
Recognition
I would like to thank outgoing President Harry Meyers
for his leadership over the past year. Harry tackled
several initiatives during his tenure including bringing
AT&T online to the monopine, the sale of Bear Creek
and Dolphin Head Golf Clubs, the Hargray broadband
opportunity, and of course, the beginning of our
collaboration with the Town of Hilton Head on beach
renourishment for Pine Island. Harry also was stationed
at the helm for the start of the Spring Lake Pool
renovation.
Ben Letizia piloted the Maintenance Committee; his
leadership had us visiting many similar communities in
the area to pick up their best ideas. These nuggets of
information turned into efficiencies and improvements
to our maintenance of HHP. Pat Harlacher steered
the Recreation Committee and worked diligently on
the plans of the new Spring Lake Pool. When it came
time to making the hard choices to cut back on certain
aspects of the project, Pat’s guidance and measured
approach to recommend cost efficiencies were critical
to arriving at the final plan that was approved by the
Board. Each of these leader's time and talents will be
missed.
We would also like to congratulate the following
individuals for three years of continuous service
as a member of one or more of the POA’s committees:
Dan Daniels, Communications Committee; Lynn
Gerlach, Election Committee; George Haley, Recreation
Committee; Heidi Huddleston, Communications
Committee; Jim Ogden, Nominating Committee;
Marcia Sullivan, Maintenance Committee; Ellen
Winston, Covenants Committee; James Lucas, Finance
Committee; and Robert Clemens, Covenants Committee.
For six years of service as a member of one or more
of the POA’s committees: Jonathan Doe, Finance
and Recreation Committees; John Holihan, Finance
Committee; Audrey King, Communications and Security
Committees; Dave Morse, Maintenance and Recreation
Committees; Gordon Simmons, Architectural Review
Board; Edna Wilcher, Maintenance Committee; and
Robert Zinn, Architectural Review Board.
For nine years of service as a member of one or
more of the POA’s committees: Richard Whitmore,
Communications Committee.
For 12 years of service as a member of one or
more of the POA’s committees: Margita Rockstroh,
April 2016 - Page 3
Communications and Recreation Committees; and
Gary Van Dam, Election Committee.
For 15 years of service as a member of one or more
of the POA’s committees: Dick Waltz, Nominating
Committee; and Earle Nirmaier, Recreation Committee.
The POA Board also recognized the following members
for making a special contribution over the past year.
The Information Technology Task Force – for
their dedicated and commendable service to bring
state-of-the-art wireless and fiber optic infrastructure
to the Hilton Head Plantation community. HHP
Fishing Club – for their continued support to the
Kids Kamp program, the Boys and Girls Club Outreach
Program, and for their continued contributions to the
Hilton Head Plantation community. Island Hoppers
– for their contribution towards the purchase of
the new note cards, which benefits the Hilton Head
Plantation Conservancy Foundation, and for their
donation to the HHP Kids Kamp Scholarship Program.
Country Club of Hilton Head – for their shared
values and community-minded offer to allow Hilton
Head Plantation property owners to use the Country
Club’s outdoor pool in the fall of 2015 during the
demolition and subsequent renovations to the new
Spring Lake Pool complex. HHP Big Band – for
their professionalism and generous donation of a
community concert for Hilton Head Plantation. The
work of the musicians and orchestrators provided
a memorable evening of entertainment that was
enjoyed by hundreds of residents and their guests.
Ann Martel – for her countless hours serving as the
librarian for the Hilton Head Plantation community.
Ann cataloged books, sorted returns, and shelved new
arrivals and returns. Her volunteerism has benefited
the hundreds of residents who use the library of
books at the Plantation House on a regular basis.
Sgt. Williette Lee – for her continued exemplary
service to the residents of Hilton Head Plantation and
for bringing honor and distinction upon herself, her
fellow Officers, and the entire Hilton Head Plantation
community by being named Officer of the Year by the
Security Directors’ Association of South Carolina and
the Hilton Head Island Rotary Club.
A special recognition to the family of Ernie Elliott
for the many years of contributions to the residents
of Hilton Head Plantation. His work ethic, sense of
community, and contributions serve as a model for
others to emulate.
A process we started in 2001 recognizes POA staff
members for certain milestones of service to the Hilton
Head Plantation community. This year’s recipients
include: For 5 years of service - Cpl. Donald
Martin, Security Department; 10 years of service
- Denise McAllister, Communications Department,
(cont'd. on page 4)

and Lt. Joseph Farmer, Security Department. For 15
years of service - Betsy Weppner, ARB/Covenants
Department, and Lt. Vanessa Green, Security
Department. For over 35 years of service - Keith

May Coffee with Peter
Our next Coffee is scheduled for Thursday, May 26,
4:00 PM, at the Plantation House. As well as our usual
updates, Town Council Members Bill Harkins and John
McCann will be our special guests.
Spring Lake Pool Renovation
* See page 5 for Resident Tour details *
The Spring Lake Pool project continues to move forward
ahead of schedule. Weather permitting, the boardwalk
and dock should be completed, and the Spring Lake
Pavilion and Plantation House will be connected via
newly installed leisure paths. This new pathway joins
the leisure path that paralleled the west side of Spring
Lake and used to terminate at the Plantation House
parking lot, to the new Boardwalk and on to the Spring
Lake Pavilion. We believe this new walkway will be
widely used as a pedestrian connection and also for the
views of the new Spring Lake Pool and Spring Lake itself.
The concrete decks for the pool have been completed
and landscaping is being finalized. Electrical work that
will bring all of the new pool features to life is also
being completed. The bridge over the “Harry Heron’s
Lazy River” is taking shape and the pool shell has been
finished in a coat of new plaster. The pool will have a
cooling element that will cool the water down during the
heat of the summer.
As you may have learned, the two trellis swings that
were eliminated as a cost savings measure have been
added back into the project. One of the swings is being
donated by Joe Nix and his wife Tammy; the other is
being funded from a capital projects account that had
an approximate balance of $18,000 remaining from
the sale of Parcel A in 2003. These two features will
provide additional viewing and resting opportunities at
either end of the new boardwalk. The bathhouses are
being renovated with new lighting and plumbing fixtures,
skylights, as well as additional ventilation. We will
continue to keep you posted as this project approaches
completion.
Photo ID and Houseguest Card Stickers
Your Photo ID and Houseguest cards will need to
be validated for the 2016 season. You can get your
cards validated by visiting the POA Service Center at 7
Surrey Lane. To be eligible to receive your validation
POA Information
sticker you must be a member in good standing, i.e.
assessments paid, with no outstanding fines or covenant
violations.
Security Gate Roofs
The roofs of both Security Gates as well as the Dispatch
Center have been replaced.
Tennis Gazebo Roof
The old cedar roof shingles on the tennis gazebo
between courts 5 and 6 have been replaced with a
metal roof to match the Spring Lake Pavilion roof.
Plantation House Doors
The Plantation House doors have been a challenge to
bring to closure. The hardware for the doors did not
match and new doors (the supplier had to reorder the
proper doors to match the hardware) needed to be
compliant with all applicable fire and building codes. We
hope to have the new doors installed and this project
behind us in the coming weeks.
Hargray Fiber Optic Installation
Hargray Communications continues to make good
progress with their fiber optic cable installation. For
questions, please call 1-866-854-3720.
Security Special Op
In mid-March, the HHP Security Department ran
a special operation to check the driver’s license,
registration, and vehicle insurance for all commercial
vehicles seeking admittance to HHP. Over the
past several months, our Security personnel have
encountered a rise in the number of individuals who
are driving on our roadways without appropriate
documentation.
Staff also discovered that some unscrupulous vendors
have been purchasing a commercial pass under their
name with legitimate credentials, and then have driven
off to a parking lot area and sold the commercial pass
to an individual that was not properly licensed and was
driving an unregistered and uninsured vehicle.
Our Security checked all of the commercial vehicles
entering the Plantation from approximately 7:30 AM
to 2:00 PM. During that timeframe, our Officers wrote
37 citations for individuals who were driving without
a license. We wanted to send a clear message that if
you drive on HHP’s roadways, you need to be properly
licensed, have a current vehicle registration, and proof
of insurance. This type of operation puts commercial
vendors on alert that we will check on random dates for
proper documentation. This procedure helps protect
all of us from an encounter with an unlicensed driver
who might possibly be operating a vehicle that is
unregistered and uninsured.
Stay Safe

Security − Road Rage!
Imagine you’re driving off the Plantation by the
roundabout, and, for seemingly no reason, the driver
next to you cuts you off and makes an offensive gesture.
Although your initial gut reaction may be to retaliate,
you are best advised to take a deep breath, count to
ten, and avoid any confrontation.
News reports have shown that some of these types of
aggressive drivers have been known to exit their vehicle
and challenge the other motorist. Some may even be
carrying a firearm. There have been reports of physical
confrontation and, sadly, even fatalities due to road
rage.
Unfortunately, incidents like these are becoming more
prevalent in our society. Road rage is national in scope
and knows no economic boundaries – the driver of a
luxury car may be just as likely to become a violent
offender as the driver of a less expensive model.
Don’t give the other driver a reason to escalate their
anger.
Follow these simple tips:
1. Drive with courtesy in mind. Use your signal,
don’t tailgate, and don’t become a horn blowing
instigator.
2. Show some tolerance. The other driver may have
had a bad day, too. He or she could be right on the
edge. Don’t push them over.
3. Know where you’re going. Stopping in the
middle of High Bluff to read an address or street sign
is a sure way to aggravate the person behind you. Pull
over if you’re lost. This sounds simplistic, but we have
seen many instances where a driver will just stop in the
middle of the road to get his or her bearings.
The Security Department suggests that all drivers carry
and use a cell phone to notify Security or the Sheriff’s
Department of any emergency. Get the license number
of the offender. Stay in your car, lock the doors, and
wait for Security or the Sheriff’s Department to respond.
Don’t become a victim of road rage. Use good driving
habits and report incidents of road rage to the proper
authorities. Help the Security Department and the
Sheriff’s Department get a handle on road rage!

** TENTATIVE SCHEDULE **
Tours to View NEW Spring Lake Pool!
On Tuesday, May 24 (tentatively), we would like
to invite all Hilton Head Plantation residents to
tour the new Spring Lake Pool & Boardwalk! In
order to facilitate a more pleasurable walk-through, we
are dividing the Open House into three time segments
as follows:
If your last name
Please stop by starts with: between:
A–M 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM
N– Z
12:00 PM – 2:00 PM
Those working or ---˃ 4:00PM–6:00 PM
those who missed the first two time slots
Please take this opportunity to check out the new
splash pad, lazy river, cabanas, updated bathrooms,
and all the other fun new amenities the Spring Lake
Pool has to offer. Also, take a stroll down the newly
opened boardwalk that goes along Spring Lake and
connects the walkways from the Spring Lake Pavilion
to the Plantation House. This is your chance to take in
the new views and get acquainted with our new stateof-the-art pool facility!
Please use the open field next to the Spring Lake
Tennis Center for overflow parking. In case of
inclement weather on Tuesday, May 24, a RAIN DATE
has been scheduled for Wednesday, May 25 for
the same timeframe.
A special thanks goes to Wood+Partners for the
landscape architecture/land planning, to Year Round
Pool for the pool and splash pad construction, and
last, but certainly not least, to Nix Construction for
completing the overall project ahead of schedule and
providing us with this gorgeous facility and boardwalk
that we are so fortunate to have in our community.
As long as the Spring Lake Pool passes all DHEC
and Town of HHI inspections, we are tentatively
planning to open the new Spring Lake Pool
on Friday, May 27 (weather-permitting). We
appreciate the community’s patience as we moved this
major project forward, and we are excited to showcase
the new facility. We hope you will join us on May 24!

POA Information
“Harry Heron”, the Master Covenants Bird
This month’s focus:
Blinded Larry, “Green all around” Curly, and Trashy Moe
Bright Lights
Occasionally I fly above
the Plantation in the early
evening just taking in the
quiet and darkness. I do
have a few landmarks due
to the “uplighting” rules that
most residents follow when
providing accent lighting to
their homes. Now I have a
very small insight as to how
the crews in B-17s during
WWII felt when they flew
bombing missions over Europe. At times the lights can
be blinding! However, no incoming “flack” has ever been
pointed in my direction. During the day, I just fold my
neck and sit quietly in a well-hidden spot. My avian
cousin Larry Heron said sometimes “down” lights shine
into his nest at night when he’s trying to catch some
zzzz’s. Uplighting (spotlights) is permitted for security
purposes. It also avoids the potential for shining onto
your neighbor’s property. When exterior lights are being
used they must be shielded, directed, and controlled
to prevent any annoyance to neighboring properties.
House mounted downlighting is permitted for temporary
illumination only and is to be used for emergency and
exterior access. Landscape lighting must blend with the
plants and shrubs and be mounted low to the ground.
This type of lighting also must be used sparingly
and friendly to your surrounding neighbors. Colored
landscape lighting is prohibited.
Big Al E. Gator
As the warm season arrives, our wildlife is coming
out of hibernation. Temperatures have been so warm
this winter that most of my avian friends did not even
fly south for the winter season. Alligators are a very
serious matter. They are curious and sometimes
thrilling to watch, but they need to be given a wide
berth and observed from a distance. Do not feed
the alligators… leave them alone. Alligators are
all around us and are most active during the warmer
months; mating season usually occurs between March
and July. They move from one lagoon to another via
our labyrinth of underground stormwater management
pipes, and, on occasion, a resident’s lawn and the
roadways. Do not harass, feed, or annoy an alligator;
stay a safe distance away. Many of our residents fish
in our lagoons. If an alligator is interested and waiting
for your catch, move to another lagoon or cut the line
and go. Do you really want to get into an altercation
with an alligator over a fish? I have lost several avian
friends who were preoccupied with fishing and when
they caught a chordate did not realize Mr. Gator was
close by watching their every move. Take my advice,
chalk it up to nature, and move on. On a more serious
note, for your own sake and safety of your pet, keep
your dog and cat leashed when off your property.
Alligators may look slow, but they are very fast for short
distances and their jaws are no match for the largest of
dogs when they are in their element. Remember, you
have the ability to provide your pet with a safe walk and
return home. We don’t want little “Fluffy” (or “Curly
Kittie”) to turn up missing because he or she was let out
unleashed and able to walk the lagoon banks or, worse
yet, swim in a lagoon with Mr. Gator. Many a member of
my avian family has come to be an easy catch.
Not your Trash Can
Recently I received a complaint from Moe who is
concerned about residents discarding PERSONAL TRASH
into the POA dumpsters (Plantation House and Spring
Lake Pavilion) ‒ trash receptors utilized for doggy
bags only. The POA is aware (as I am their “eye in
the sky”) that some inconsiderate residents may, on
occasion, dump their personal household trash (and
some landscaping debris as well) into these containers.
Residents like Moe (and me, too) will often report this
activity, citing the license plate and description of the
vehicle; some will go so far as to follow the individual for
an address. The POA will respond with a letter noting
the offense or may even fine the resident. My advice to
those who think no one is watching ‒ think again. The
POA provides the landscape dumpsite near the Farm for
your landscaping debris and Beaufort County provides a
trash dumpsite on Dillon Road for your personal trash.
If you do not have your own private trash service, please
use the transfer station on Dillon Road for the disposal
of your personal household trash. In fact, most folks
that use the transfer station bring their canines or felines
(like Fluffy and Curly) to keep them company.
Harry’s Lazy River!
I am pumped beyond excitement about the debut of
my namesake lazy river feature at the new Spring Lake
Pool. The new pool is slated to open over Memorial
Day weekend. See pages 4-5 for more details on the
opening. You will note a bronze statue of my likeness in
the center island of the lazy river! Noodles for everyone!

Lowcountry Nature / ARB
Page 7 - April 2016
Lowcountry Nature: Pluff Mud
People either love the smell ‒ or they hate it. If you grew up in the
Lowcountry, the pungent odor of pluff mud may be the essence of home, but
even to many Northerners, this rank, salty aroma has a certain primordial
appeal.
Pluff mud is darker, richer, smellier, and stickier than most other muds.
Oysters and clams settle on it; fiddler crabs scuttle across it; marine worms
burrow into it. But beware of venturing onto it yourself ‒ you may sink down
to your ankles, perhaps to your knees. Pluff mud has claimed countless
boots and sneakers, sucking them down forever, like quicksand. Local news
stories include reports of people, boats, and even a horse needing rescue
after being mired in mud.
(above) photo of pluff mud
by Vicky McMillan
But pluff mud is the heart of our salt marshes and estuaries, essential to the nourishment and productivity of the
Lowcountry. Much of this odiferous, oxygen-deficient muck consists of fine sediments mixed with decaying spartina grass
(Spartina alterniflora). Also present are bits of dead crabs, shrimp, snails, worms, fish, and a host of other decomposing
marine organisms.
The rotting odor of pluff mud comes from anaerobic bacteria that gradually break down this rich organic stew, releasing
hydrogen sulfide in the process. The smell may be overpowering, but it’s a sign of a healthy marsh.
--Vicky McMillan
The ABC’s of the ARB (Architectural Review Board)
In the October issue of Plantation Living, the Architectural Review Board (ARB) informed our residents of current
trends and updated building procedures for homeowners to consider when pondering the idea of moving and/or
building a new home. In October there was an upsurge of new ownership. Today, several months later, residents are
inquiring about enlarging possibilities, enclosing screened porch additions, adding detached garages, and more. As we
all know, dreams do come true, provided the charted path is followed.
With the arrival of warmer weather, several issues play on residents’ minds: remodeling projects and summer
activities for the family. Planning for most home remodeling projects may involve contacting the ARB to inquire about
the submission process and fees. Currently, residents are interested in increasing their living space whether it be
inside or outdoors ‒ the screened porch/Carolina room addition has been very popular. Some are adding a garage or
enlarging an existing garage for additional storage. Others are enjoying the outdoors by replacing concrete driveways/
walkways with interesting paver combinations, adding fire pits, or enlarging pool decks.
The submission process involves submitting the following items for review:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
A current As-Built Survey, less than three (3) years old, is necessary.
A partial survey may be sufficient depending on the project.
Complete set of plans
Detail and schedule pages
Photographs of construction site
Landscape plan
Application form
Submission fee
Lately, many homeowners are choosing to remodel existing homes. This is a good time to explore your options. The
ARB meets on the fourth (4th) Thursday of every month. If you are considering any type of exterior improvement to
your home, please contact the ARB (843-681-8800 ext. 231) for advice on how to proceed with your ideas/or repairing
the existing homesite. Future articles will cover procedures on building, adding additions, landscaping, painting, tree
removal, and many others, including the necessary permits needed for approval. Our main focus is property setbacks
and aesthetics. We look forward to working with you on your upcoming exterior home improvement projects.

6:00 PM, at the Plantation
House. The dinner theme
is seafood and our speaker
will be Tonya Hudson of the Hudson Fish Market. Tonya
will discuss “Buying and Preparing Seafood.”
This meeting is going to be special! Not since 2004
has the club welcomed a new President-Elect. That’s
right! After 12 years of tremendous service, Dave Morse
will "retire" from being President, but he will remain
on the Fishing Club Board so we won’t lose his service
and enthusiastic presence. Terry Howland, our new
President, will be taking over the responsibilities that
Dave handled so well. Come out to welcome the new
President and several new Board Members.
Some activities coming up include our Fishing Seminar
on Saturday, April 30, 1:00 PM, at the Plantation House
and Spring Lake lagoon. It’s open to all HHP residents.
We’ll be needing a few volunteers on Saturday, May 14
when we host the Hilton Head Chapter of American
Heritage Girls. We’ll be teaching the young ladies
a few things about fish and fishing as well as giving
them some hands‑on fishing experience. We’ll then
accompany them to the Waddell Mariculture Center for
a tour.
If you haven’t signed up with Richard Fitzgerald to
volunteer for Kids Kamp, please do so he can make sure
we are properly staffed throughout the Kamp season.
Kids Kamp starts on June 13.
Four members of the Board met with Al Stokes,
manager of the Mariculture Center to discuss our two
saltwater lakes. We want to make sure we’re doing
everything we need to do to maintain these waters in a
healthy habitat for our saltwater species. As a result of
one of Al’s recommendations, the club has purchased
a refractometer. That’s an instrument which will allow
us to monitor the salt content of the water in the
lakes. While we get some saltwater flowing into the
lakes during full and new moon high tides, that water is
balanced against rain water and, in the case of Spring
Lake, a freshwater spring. When we accumulate some
data through some monthly tide cycles, we’ll meet with
Al again to discuss results.
Call Richard Fitzgerald with your fishing questions or to
ask for some help (843-715-8287).

The HHP Softball Club
continues to perform well on
the field in our weekly games
and practices. We’re having
a lot of fun out there and
would like to invite potential
new players to come and join
us and see if he or she is interested.
The club holds a weekly practice on Tuesdays at
1:00 PM. We get together, throw the ball around,
and work on basic fundamentals of the game
including hitting, fielding, and base running. Our
practices are fairly low key, and generally a great way
for the players to work on their game and socialize at
the same time.
In terms of games, we don’t play in a league, but are
able to play a game almost every week against teams
from Sun City and the Landings (Savannah). The
games are great fun, we have solid competition, and
we’ve met a bunch of great people along the way.
We would love to attract new players to the team.
You can practice or play as much or as little as you
want. If you’re interested, please feel free to contact
Bob Huisman at [email protected] or come out
and join us or watch a future practice.
Softball is fun!

HHP Train Club
Caregivers Support Group
Our meeting this month was a
road trip to visit the Sun City
Model Train Club. They have
a full layout versus what we have ‒ individual home
layouts, a few of which we have visited.
Our support group
for family caregivers
in HHP is surely
needed and continues
to expand! What a
wonderful group of
caring loved ones who
are always helping each other. That’s what a mutual selfhelp group is all about. You get some time out (respite)
from your caregiving and you connect with others who
have similar challenges. The benefits are many: a
sharing of laughter and some tears, you attend to your
personal needs (feelings, spirit, and challenges), and you
can reach out and help another. This group is always a
value to your personal wellness, as well as your loved
one’s care.
Our meetings are held on the 2nd Wednesday of the
month from October to May, 7:00 PM, at the Plantation
House. Whether you like big trains or small trains, we
have something for all. Plan on joining us.
For more information, contact Don Fellner
843‑290‑5353 or email: [email protected].
Dance Club
Dancing is a great way to keep
your body and mind healthy.
Why not learn a new skill or
improve your technique and
have fun doing it?
Classes are taught by an
instructor from the Fred Astaire
Studio and include shag, swing,
salsa, and tango. All skill levels are welcome and you
don’t need a partner. There is a nominal fee of $8.00
per person per class to cover expenses.
Join us this fall. Classes are held at the Plantation
House, 6:15-7:30 PM, every other Wednesday,
September 30 through May 4.

Newcomers Club
The Avid Gardeners (TAG)
March Madness, Super
Tuesday, and the “Wearing
of the Green” added to
the fun and success for
our March event ‒ Taco
Trivia Tuesday. Many kudos to our Board for making
sure everything runs like clockwork. We also would
like to thank the crew from Java Burrito ‒ the food was
outstanding ‒ Trivia DJ, Carl Young from JLK Events, and
our sponsor ‒ The Greenery ‒ Tim Drake, Melissa Brock,
and Vanessa Whittaker.
The Avid Gardeners’ triennial
Flower Show held April 8-10
is now “in the books”. TAG
members’ diligence, dedication,
and creativity in the design and
preparation of the displays was
evident in the extraordinary
exhibit. All members of the club
participated – on stage or in the wings. As a huge
joint effort, the Flower Show always creates a strong
bond between TAG’s members.
On Tuesday, April 19, Joe Moffo with Critter
Management will present “Everything you want to know
about gators and snakes in your backyard.” WATCH
WHERE YOU STEP. Our menu for the evening will have
a Caribbean flair. Dress code for the event is Island
shirts and flip flops. There will be a prize for the most
colorful shirt.
Nadine Korosi, Sandy Stern, and their committee are
constantly introducing projects for the gardening
students at the School for the Creative Arts. The kids
prepared animal collages from leaves, which were on
display at the TAG Flower Show.
The Newcomers Club’s final event of the year is our
Sunset Cruise on Tuesday, May 17 leaving from Shelter
Cove. This event is always sold out so watch for the
email blast. The cruise is a 2-hour event with a boxed
dinner and entertaining facts by Captain Mark and crew.
We are still in need of some new Board members to
carry on this fun-loving and entertaining club. Please
consider taking a position on the Board; there are lots of
us who will help you with your new position.
For more information, contact Mary Wilcox, president,
843‑715‑2769.

Bocce Club
The plants in the 3-Point Reflective Garden at the
intersection of Seabrook and Dolphin Head bloomed
on time to welcome spring. In addition to having
developed, and now maintaining this plot for the
benefit of all HHP residents, TAG members also
developed and maintain the General Davis Island.
TAG’s activities are slowing down. Our April meeting
will include a visit to the Georgia Botanical Gardens
(formerly the Bamboo Garden) in Savannah. In May
we hold our end-of-the-year luncheon at which next
year’s officers are installed, and a tour of members’
gardens follows. A potluck lunch held at Dolphin Head
in June will finish out our fiscal year.
We meet in the Spring Lake Pavilion on the third
Friday of the month at 9:30 AM. A coffee/social
is followed by a short business meeting, and then
the speaker of the day. Phone Corliss Zampino at
843‑681-6062 for further information.

The spring bocce season is in full swing, or better yet,
in full roll. Thirty-two teams, three
of which are new to our league,
have been competing since midMarch. And, players are already
keeping track of their wins and

play-offs that begin the week of May 9.
Please mark your calendars for our Awards Potluck
Dinner on Saturday, May 14 at Spring Lake
Pavilion, 6:00 PM. Members will be notified via
email as to what food to bring.
Enjoy the rest of the season and good luck.

HHP Clubs
Farmers Club
HHP Big Band
Oops – I was wrong about
plots still being available.
This article is written 30
days ahead, so some things
change by the time it comes
out. But get on the wait list,
and you may be surprised at
how soon a plot becomes available.
The HHP Big Band continues to
entertain audiences in April and
May. We are doing our first outdoor
performance at the Country Club
of Hilton Head this month (weather
permitting) and then closing out April
at TidePointe. Plans are in the works
for another outdoor summer show at
the Plantation House. Last summer it was a perfect
night and the
crowd enjoyed
a relaxing
evening of
tunes that
spanned over
five decades of

hits.
It’s awesome April again, and there is so much to be
done at the farm, you may be there every day for at
least a few minutes – picking or planting some of the
heat loving veggies like lima beans, okra, field peas
(we like pinkeyes), and peanuts. Your children and
grandchildren will love digging them. They also like
digging for potatoes if you turn it into a treasure hunt.
Sweet potatoes can still be planted as well, but need
plenty of space to roam.
Asparagus has its own bed of course, and here is a
good method of cutting it. Divide the plot mentally
into 4 sections. Cut all of the spears in the first
section for 6 weeks. Then cut down the plumes in
the second section, which will cause it to send up new
shoots which you can cut for 6 weeks, then do the
same with sections 3 and 4. If your plot is very large,
you may want to divide it into 6. The plumes last a
very long time when added to a flower arrangement,
and the spears have incredible nutrients when eaten
fresh.
Weeding well is imperative now. If you let them go,
your plot will be a jungle by June. Weed-B-Gone
seems to work well, but pick a windless day to use it,
and be sure to follow all directions carefully.
Small round holes in the
leaves of potatoes and
eggplants indicate flea
beetles which can greatly
harm the plants. Spray
or dust with Sevin or use
Neem oil if organic control is
desired. And aspirin water
works well on puny plants.
It is made by mixing ¾ of a
pill with 1 gallon of water.

Green Thumbers
Vino Formaggio Group
Freshly harvested herbs can
soothe dozens of common health
problems besides adding another
dimension to your cooking. If you
want to learn more about nature’s
“health and beauty” aids, come to
the last meeting of the season for
the Green Thumbers on May 9 at
the Spring Lake Pavilion.
The Vino Formaggio Group will
end this membership year with a
wine tasting event on Sunday,
April 17, 5:00 PM, at the Spring
Lake Pavilion.
In a lecture entitled “Fun Things To Do With Plants,”
our guest speaker, Lyn G. Taylor, will discuss using
plants for first aid, beauty aids, insect repellents, and
more. In a change from our normal sequencing,
coffee and cake will not be served at the beginning
of the meeting. Instead, the meeting will start at
10:00 AM with our speaker. The lecture will then be
followed by a catered lunch. This meeting is only open
to paid members of Green Thumbers.
In order for the Green Thumbers to continue as a
viable club, we need volunteers to serve on the Board.
For the next year 2016-2017, there are two positions
open on the Board. The positions are President and
Publicity Chairperson. The Publicity Chairperson writes
the articles for Plantation Living and works with the
Communications Chairperson on the monthly email
notification to members. The President, after input
from the Board, contacts potential speakers, and
coordinates the monthly meetings/field trips. The
other three Board positions, which are Treasurer,
Communications, and Hospitality, already have a
volunteer willing to serve. However, any of the above
positions can use additional help and may be cochaired.
If you are interested or need more information, please
contact Edna Coombs at 843-342-7184 or see any
of the current Board members at our next meeting.
Thanking you in advance for your consideration to

launch/retrieve kayaks at multiple
locations on the Island for club
scheduled weekly and monthly
day-trips. We welcome new members of all ages and
skill levels including those who already own a kayak, as
well as those who are still considering their first kayak
purchase.
As of press time, Spring Lake
has four teams in first place in
the Local USTA Spring League:
Men’s 55 & Over 3.5 division “SL Lakers” (captain Tom Larkin),
Men’s 70 & Over 3.5 division “SL ASPS” (captain Greg Smorol), Ladies 70 & Over
3.5 division “SL Stingers” (captain Mary Ellen Arboe),

Goodies” (captain Rosanne Ball).
As of March 2016, the Kayak Club now has 89+ HHP
households comprising 119+ total members. But, there
is still room for you! Please consider joining us!
Our 2016 kayak program is well underway with various
speakers/events and educational programs planned
for new and experienced kayakers. In February we
had a kayak outing at Outside Hilton Head for tips on
choosing a kayak. In March we had a kayak outing,
again with Outside Hilton Head, where we had an
“on-water, Try‑out & Buy a Kayak” event (mini-paddlefest). We hope to have on-water events for beginners,
intermediate, and advanced kayakers this spring/
summer. Our next meeting will be on Tuesday,
April 26, 6:30 PM, at the Plantation House. The
meeting topic will be “Kayak Storage, Transporting &
Handling.”
We’re also still looking for a few more experienced
kayakers who would volunteer to be “kayak guides” and
“kayak mentors” for some of our upcoming 2016 kayak
outings and meetings.

Hello, Dog Lovers! The 2016
HHP Dog Club activities are off to
a successful start! Club members
enjoyed a demonstration
of grooming techniques on
March 15. Janet Tarrant, owner/
operator of Groomalon Pet Salon,
was assisted by Thalia Rosso
as she snipped and clipped
Anne Hakala’s German
(above) Thalia Rosso,
Shepherd, Mary Goodrich’s
groomer; Janet Tarrant,
Standard Poodle, Maxine
owner, Groomalon Pet
Uttal’s Chihuahua, and
Barbara Loosbrook’s Golden Salon; Sweet Pea; and
Maxine Uttal, owner of
Retriever.
Janet shared a wealth of
information, including:
Sweet Pea.
● Your dog should never be shaved for hot weather
because fur acts like insulation, keeping dogs cool in
summer. Canine skin is only 3-5 cells deep (human
skin is 10-15 cells deep) so bare canine skin will easily
become sunburned, often resulting in skin cancer.
● Your dog’s nails should always be trimmed to avoid
the development of arthritis in the paws. The use
of a dremel is preferred over clipping because you’re
less likely to damage the quick.
Groomalon provided a basket of goodies, including
a free bath, won by lucky club member Chris
Cherrington. We greatly appreciate the generosity
and expertise of Janet Tarrant of Groomalon.
Mark your calendars now! All events start at
6:00 PM. Tuesday, May 10 - Dog Training
with Jeanne Daly, Plantation House parking lot;
Wednesday, July 13 - Goodies for Doggies, Spring
Lake Pavilion; Friday, September 23 - Cocktails and
Dogstails, Dolphin Head (rain date, September 30);
Tuesday, December 6 - Caring for Aging Dogs with
Dr. Dixon, Spring Lake Pavilion.
And don’t forget to support HHHA’s Dog Walk on the
Beach, Saturday, April 30, 8:30 AM.
PS: The good people who are striving to save North
America’s shorebirds are asking that you don’t let
your pets chase shorebirds or disturb nests on the
beach. We must work together to save our wildlife
habitats!
Happy Dog Walking,

KIDS KAMP 2016
Established in 1987, Kids Kamp has grown to accommodate more than 300 of our Plantation’s children each summer.
Based at the Spring Lake Recreation Area, our expansive Kamp grounds provide a safe and comfortable environment
where Kampers can play, learn, and grow together. Children are grouped according to age and grade. Each group’s
Counselor Team plans the daily activities according to a weekly theme and the group’s ability. Previous Kids Kamp weekly
themes include “Wild, Wild West Week,” “To Infinity & Beyond,” “The Great Outdoors,” “Ocean Commotion Week,” and
“Blast from the Past.” On Wacky Wednesdays, all Kids Kampers and staff show off their creativity by dressing according
to the theme. On Fridays, the entire Kids Kamp comes together for a special event to wrap up the week with an exciting
themed activity. Regularly scheduled activities include swimming, arts & crafts, field games, and fishing. Cooking,
music & puppets, and nature are also incorporated into group schedules. Counselor to Kamper ratio = 1:10. Regular

Qigong Class
New 6-Week Session
Qigong (chee gong) is an ancient Chinese healthcare
system that was developed before the written word
in Chinese monasteries, hospitals,
and imperial courts. It integrates
movements, breathing techniques,
focused attention, and self-applied
massage. Qigong means cultivating or
working with energy and is practiced
for health maintenance, increased
vitality, and inner peace.
Our instructor, Benedicte Gadron, will be teaching
a six-week session beginning Monday, May 9.
If interested, please sign up with Sherrie at
843‑681‑8090.

Mondays, May 9 - June 20
(skipping May 30 - Memorial Day)
Time:
4:20-5:20 PM
Cost: $40/person
Place:
Instructor: Benedicte Gadron
Qigong’s great appeal is that anyone can benefit from
practicing it, from the very young to the very old. The
movements are easy to learn. They can be performed
standing, sitting, or lying down, and can be adapted
for physical limitations. No special equipment or
clothing is required. A minimum is needed in order to
have this class so sign up today!

along the Boardwalk, a plaque will be placed on or
