Gizelle “Gigi” Roy:
award winning career
By Tim Callahan
A temporary job until she got a teaching position has turned into a lifetime career for Gizelle
“Gigi” Roy.
And, she is so good at what she does that she
was recently named “Restaurant Manager of the
Year” by the South Carolina Hospitality Association.
Roy is the dining room manager at Drunken
Jack’s in Murrells Inlet. Her boss, David McMillan, was named restauranteur of the year a few
years ago.
“The owners and the staff make my job easy,”
she said. “It is a team effort.”
Roy moved to the area from New England in
1991with five girlfriends from college “to not do
life for about six months, but none of the girls
moved back. We all stayed.”
She majored in education at North Adams State
College (Mass.) but she had a difficult time finding a teaching job. She had waited tables in high
school and college so she took a job at a restaurant and began to love the beach lifestyle.
“I’m a night owl and I love to have my days
free,” she said. “I’m not a typical 9-5 person so
this kind of work fit. I start at 3, so I can go to the
beach, stop at the bank and post office and run
other errands all before I go to work.”
In the off-season, she is done by 10:30 p.m.;
in-season by about 12:30 a.m. “It’s not like I go
home, go to bed and have to go right back to
work,” she said.
She was hired as a server at Drunken Jack’s in
1994 and became dining room manager in 2005.
She has the “gift of gab,” she said, which helps
with this type of work, a work she enjoys but
also takes seriously.

Fire response shows MI is a special community
By Tim Callahan
Editor/Publisher
Murrells Inlet is not officially incorporated,
not an official community, not in one county
but in two counties.
But, don’t tell that to the hundreds of people
whose community spirit led to a community
outpouring of support for the owners and workers at the Dead Dog Saloon, which suffered a
devastating fire last month.
While dozens of people up Myrtle Beach way
cold heartedly opined and mocked the origin
of the fire on the local daily newspaper’s Web
site, the people of Murrells Inlet rolled up their
sleeves and took out their wallets to try to help.
Restaurant owners vowed to find employment
for displaced workers; fund-raisers were immediately set in motion; emails were sent to
the Messenger with info on these efforts; an
advertiser used his ad this month to rally help; (The Dead Dog Saloon, the day of the fire that

We’re in this together, Murrells Inlet.
Help us help you.
The Bay Harbor Motel was constructed around
1945 by Jimmy Eason on the west side of Hwy.
17 Bus., just north of Macklen Avenue (across
from Dead Dog Saloon).
Jimmy was one of Alton Eason’s children and
operated a grocery store and gas station next to
the Crash Boat Station during World War II. He
built the three-story building across the street
from the store he rented from Walter Macklen,
and it had a grocery story and grill on the ground
level, living quarters on the second floor, and
rooms for rent on the third floor.
The rental rooms were accessed by a set of stairs
that led to a sun porch across the front of the
building on the second floor and a set of stairs
from the sun porch to the third floor.
Dick Eason, one of Jimmy’s sons, remembers
having one of the first television sets in the inlet on the sun porch, which became a gathering
place for the neighborhood to see the events of
the day on TV.
The ground floor included Jimmy Eason’s Food
Store, the Bay Harbor Grill (which was moved
into a free-standing restaurant he built next door
in 1953), and a fish market in the rear.
Mac and Teeny Oliver operated the Bay Harbor Grill for a short period before opening up
Oliver’s Lodge as a restaurant. Hoss Johnson’s
mother, Jesse, worked at the Bay Harbor Grill
during the 1950’s. After the Grill was moved
next door, the open space was converted to a bait
and tackle shop operated by Sam Barwick. Sam
started in the bait and tackle business in a building behind the Bay Harbor before he moved into
the main building. He eventually relocated his
bait and tackle shop to the lot where Drunken
Jack’s is now standing (Snug Harbor Marina).

McCutcheon and AliJohnny McCutcheon son Hluchota because
the company’s wellknown television advertising campaigns get the

Alison said, “and they want to find out what it’s
all about.”
What salesperson could ask for more?
While Aflac offers individual insurance policies,
most of Johnny and Alison’s time is spent speaking to companies with three or more employees,
the minimum to make Aflac available to their employees. Adding Aflac insurance policies to benefit packages cost businesses next to nothing and
is 100 percent voluntary on the employees’ part.
The policies don’t change or replace employees’
current insurance plans, but complements them.

Inlet Oasis: a ministry in the making for the community
By Tim Callahan
Inlet Oasis is a ministry in the making.
What started as a ministry for widows became a
ministry of widows and now it is becoming something for the whole community. With the help of
Pam Wilk, Russ and Cathy Peterson opened up
Inlet Oasis this month in the Piggly Wiggly Shopping Center, where Salad Creations used to be.
Inlet Oasis is a gathering place for active adults
to interact in a variety of health, social and recreational events, including spiritual development
and the opportunity to share life’s events. It offers an expanding variety of activities, including:
general fellowship and coffee time; bridge lessons
and bridge club; “Prime Time Health” classes;
Monday movies; stretching and exercise classes;
group study sessions; shag dance lessons and
knitting classes. As these are all just getting off
the ground, call Russ for more information, 8332102, or visit the Web site, www.inletoasis.org.
Inlet Oasis is an outreach of True Religion (TR)
ministries, supported by Pawleys Island Community Church, but it is for everyone, Russ says.
Maybe the best way to describe Inlet Oasis is a
place of rest, Russ said, quoting Matthew 11:29
from the RSV Bible: “Come unto Me all who are
weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you and learn from Me for I
am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find
rest for your souls.”
TR began as a ministry to 11 widows at PICC. It
now monitors 71 widows and has 36 volunteers,
Peterson said. Other TR ministry programs include Grief Share, a grief recovery support group,
and Facing Forever, a 13 week Bible study on
Broken Hearts Mended - Families Brought Together
Faith Strengthened - Decisions for Christ
Marriages Restored - Relationships Healed
eternity, which both meet at PICC but Peterson
soon hopes to offer meetings at Inlet Oasis, too.
“We began in the spring of 2010 thinking we
would minister to widows, but we developed a
sense of purpose to expand and see what we could
do for the community.” He said widows volunteer
at the Good News Club, Teach My People and at
other nonprofits in the area.
Wilk is providing the space at Inlet Oasis. She
shut down her business, Salad Creations, and had
a year’s lease left. “I wasn’t going to walk out on
it,” she said. “That wouldn’t be right.”
Pastor Don Williams at PICC hooked Wilk and
the Petersons up. As the Petersons shared their vision, Wilk, who is a widow, said, “Why don’t you
use my space.”
After a lot of prayer and due diligence on the legal aspects, Russ said, Inlet Oasis opened its doors
on March 1. Wilk, a certified Prime Time Health
Coach, presented the first of four “Dr. Sear’s
Prime Time Health” workshops on opening day.
Sears is a nutrition expert and author of more than
40 books. He is also an associate clinical professor at the University of California, Irvine.
“It’s my passion to help people,” Wilk said. “The
science connecting nutrition and disease is evolving. You can be in the prime of life but you can’t
enjoy it if you don’t have your health.”
Sears survived Stage IV colon cancer in his 70’s,
Wilk said. “Prime Time Health” is just one of the
many activities that Inlet Oasis hopes to offer in
the future. Where it goes from here is in God’s
hands. “I am a retired businessman who wants to
say, ‘Let’s do this and let’s do that and get it done,’
but God is saying, ‘Wait, let me build it.’”

More than 700 people attended the 2nd Annual Gators Gone Green Fashion Show on Feb. 9, 2012. The event was awarded first place for a Family
Fun Event by PTO Today last year. Designed to educate and motivate students and their families, as well as the greater community, the event stresses
the importance of minimizing carbon footprints on the world by reducing,
reusing and recycling. (Nicole Zeller’s Class – 5th grade – Native American Women Dresses made from burlap sacs. Shirley Feschuk’s Class – 5th

‘Chowder Talk’ updates inlet residents on projects and events
Murrells Inlet 2020, the nonprofit community
revitalization group, hosted its spring “Chowder
Talk” on March 6. Interested citizens came to hear
the latest updates, see who won some awards, and
learn about area improvement projects and upcoming events.
“The chowder, donated by Inlet Affairs Banquet
and Catering, is always a draw,” said Sue Sledz,
executive director of Murrells Inlet 2020.
Chairman Whitney Hills said two members had
been added to MI 2020’s advisory board: Denise
Shelley and David Owens. Denise and her husband own Booty’s. David is owner of Owens Liquors in Myrtle Beach. Hills told the group that MI
2020 continues to seek interested and committed
volunteers to serve with the board of directors.
Hills presented the 2011 “Volunteer of the Year”
award to Charlie and Elaine Pinson. The Pinson’s
donate their time to many of MI 2020’s programs
and events, including the Murrells Inlet water
monitoring program, Marshwalk Planters, the
golf tournament, autumn gala, Christmas parade,
wreath fluffing, and more.
And, Hills presented Chip Smith with the 2011
Golden Oyster Award. The award, presented in
honor and memory of Dr. H.P. Worrell, recognizes
and rewards those businesses, organizations or
individuals whose actions show respect and care
for the inlet landscape and waters. Smith initiated
the “Plus-One Boating” campaign that encourages boaters to bring back their trash plus one
more piece, a campaign now used in several areas
around the country. He is also founder of the annual Spring Tide Clean-Up, which has been going
strong for 21 years. Smith founded Spring Tide
after Hurricane Hugo deposited tons of debris in
the inlet. In 2008, Smith and his committee turned
over responsibilities to MI 2020, but Smith still
plays a key role in guiding and directing the event.
Sledz said the “Jetty View Walk” plans, which
will build a sort of boardwalk along the south end
of Business 17, have been submitted to DHEC for
environmental permitting. The project is now on
public notice with the agency. Once permitting is
complete, MI 2020 will work with Georgetown
County, who will handle procurement and construction management. She said MI 2020 has been
awarded a $19,000 grant from the South Carolina
National Heritage Corridor grant program for the
project. Other sources of funding for the project
will come from the Murrells Inlet 2020 pier funds,
the property owners and Sunday Sales. The estimated construction cost is $235,000. The project
could be ready for construction early this summer.
In partnership with Georgetown County Parks
and Recreation, Sledz said Murrells Inlet 2020
worked to have Morse Park Landing designated as
a South Carolina National Heritage Corridor site.
Sledz also reported that a committee has been
formed to plan necessary improvements to improve safety along the Hwy. 17 Business bike
lanes, connect the lanes to Garden City and the
river, and address safety of pedestrian crossings in
critical areas.
“Patience is a virtue,” Sledz said, “and it will be
key on this safety project. It’s complex and formidable, but it must be addressed.”
Sledz also said that spring event dates are set: the
South Atlantic Bank “Race for the Inlet” is March
24; the “Ride for the Inlet” is March 25; MI 2020
is hosting the Marshwalk Masters on April 7; and
the annual golf tournament will be held at Blackmoor Golf Course on June 23.

Group raises funds for free food
On Tues., Feb. 21, “The Reel Ladies Movie
Group” hosted a fashion show to benefit New Beginnings Food Distribution at Travinia’s Italian
Kitchen, Market Common.
More than 110 ladies attended, with fashions
provided by Orvis, Ann Taylor, Bijuju, Coldwater Creek, Distinctive Eyewear, Handpicked, Ivy
& Leo, Victoria’s Secret, Chico’s, White House
Black Market; and support from Travinia’s, Gordon Biersch, Grand 14 and other local Myrtle
Beach businesses.
The “Reel Ladies” helped to raise 75 percent of
New Beginnings’ monthly food budget. New Beginnings monthly food distribution is run entirely
by volunteers. It is held at Church of the Resurrection, Surfside Beach,
on the third Saturday
of the month at 11 a.m.
Last month, lunch was
served to 387 individuals, and groceries
were provided for 129
households. In addition to food, social services, hair cuts, blood

Edward Jones: become familiar with these five key areas
As an investor, what are your goals? You can
probably think of quite a few but, over the course
of your lifetime, your objectives typically will
fall into five key categories. And once you’re familiar with these areas, you can start thinking of
what they’ll mean to you in terms of your financial and investment strategies.
So, let’s take a look at each of these areas and
see what they might entail for you:
Preparing for retirement. With advances in
health care and a greater awareness of healthy
living practices, many of us can expect to live
two or three decades in an active retirement. To
pay for all those years, you’ll need to save and
invest early and often. So, while you’re working, take full advantage of your 401(k) or other
employer-sponsored retirement plan, as well as
contribute to a traditional or Roth IRA. After
understanding your desired retirement lifestyle,
your financial advisor can help you determine
how, and how much, to save to provide for your
income in retirement.
Planning for the unexpected. You can’t see into
the future, so you’ll need to prepare for anything
that comes your way. By building an emergency
fund containing six to 12 months’ worth of living
expenses, you can possibly avoid dipping into
your long-term investments to pay for things
such as a new furnace or a major car repair. And
planning for the unexpected also means having
sufficient life insurance to provide for your family in case anything happens to you.
Educating your children. College is already expensive, and college expenses have been rising
faster than the overall rate of inflation. If you
want to help your children, or grandchildren, pay journey a pleasant and productive one.
for school, you may want to invest in a college (This article was written by Edward Jones for

ings have the opportunity to grow tax-free, provided withdrawals are used for higher education.

to income taxes and a 10 percent penalty.)

to help your income keep pace with inflation.
Transferring your wealth. When you’ve worked
hard your whole life, you want to be able to
leave a legacy - one that allows you to provide
financial resources to the next generation and to
those charitable organizations you may wish to
support. So, when it’s time to think about transferring your wealth, you’ll want to consult with

MI History Project: Bay Harbor Hotel...continued from page 1
Dead Dog Saloon fire response shows Murrells Inlet is a special community...continued from page 1
to rebuild. They also are posting reports daily on
what they are calling “Project Phoenix” at www.
deaddogsaloon.com
Now that is spunk. That is community.
My wife and I came to this area seven years ago.
Covering Murrells Inlet for a weekly newspaper,
I immediately noticed Murrells Inlet was different from many communities I have reported
on in a 33-year newspaper career: friendly, laid
back, hospitable, accepting...
I heard Murrells Inlet fondly called by its residents: the red headed stepchild of Georgetown
county; a place where a double wide could be
right next to mansion and that was cool; a drink-
ing village with a fishing problem.
And, it was, and is. Man, I liked it. It was a big
reason I started my own newspaper here in 2010.
People here didn’t talk community, they acted on
it.
Just like last month with the Dead Dog. Just like
when we started this newspaper.
A party town, “a drinking village,” supports a
Christian’s efforts to produce a newspaper each
month that encourages, informs and inspires the
community. They support it; they read it; and
they advertise in it. Although the Messenger is
mistakenly thought by some to be for Christians
only, the paper is for everybody – like any other
paper.
Like this community.

There was also a free standing oyster roast at the
rear of the Bay Harbor Motel, which was managed by Alvia “Pops” Goodman, Dot Eason’s father and a fixture around Bay Harbor. Back during those times, oysters were cooked on a sheet
of metal covered by a wet croaker sack over an
open fire, and the steamed oysters were served
on long tables where the patrons would stand
and eat until they were full.
The motel rooms were frequented by traveling fishermen and also hosted numerous fishing
boat mates and captains, including Ike White,
Mike Marchant, and Bill Moeller back in the
early 1960’s. The Bay Harbor Motel was located
in the center of the Murrells Inlet fishing action,

she said. “It’s like those young players who win
a few Super Bowls and start to forget where they
came from and think it is easy. I think Drunken
Jack’s is the best restaurant on the beach and I
want to help keep us there. So we have to rewind.
“I hate other people’s tragedies, like with the
Dead Dog,” she said. “But, we could wake up
someday and not be able to do this anymore. We
