Rare

SWINGING

awkey,
an
endangered
leatherback
sea
turtle
found washed ashore in the
Lowcountry last week is headed
back to open water. The turtle was
released on the Isle of Palms, by the
South Carolina Aquarium Sea Turtle
Rescue Program and the South
Carolina Department of Natural
Resources.
Representatives from the Sea
Turtle Rescue Program and SCDNR
worked together to transport the
massive animal from the Aquarium
to the Isle of Palms. The team carried
Yawkey in a custom container,
donated by C-Con LLC, to the
waterline and released the turtle
back into the Atlantic Ocean. To
ensure the safest return of Yawkey
to the wild, the release was not open
to the public.
The rare sea turtle, found by
SCDNR on Yawkey-South Island
Reserve near Georgetown, S.C.
last Saturday, March 7, is one of
the few live leatherback strandings
reported in the United States, and
the first in South Carolina history.
Despite being lethargic, there were
no signs of external and trauma
and blood work showed the animal
to be in overall good shape. Sea

Dear Editor,
When my son Adam Simon was injured in
Afghanistan over two years ago, he was transported
to the Army hospital at Fort Bragg in Fayetteville,
NC. The wounds he sustained required numerous
surgeries and a hospital stay that lasted nearly 2
months. Fortunately, Fort Bragg has a Fisher House
just two blocks from the hospital there. For those of
you who arent aware, a Fisher House is best known
as a network of comfort homes where soldiers and
veterans family members can stay at no cost while
a loved one is receiving treatment.
My experience at the Fisher House could not have
been more comfortable. The staff was exceptional
in every way, and the rooms were outstanding.
Having the availability of this accommodation made
it possible for me or Adams dad to be with him
every day, without the added expense of a hotel. We
were able to give constant support to our son and
be continuously informed of his progress by all of
the medical staff, and thus be a part of his healing
process.
There are currently 66 homes that provide free
lodging in and around military hospitals, but none
in Charleston. Approximately 60,000 Veterans
are treated downtown at the Ralph A Johnson VA
Hospital. Some come from a distance with little
resources for overnight accommodations. The need
for a Fisher House in Charleston is undeniable.
Please think about this opportunity to honor
our veterans and support our troops by giving to
such a worthwhile cause. The website is: www. Beth Bowden

Enjoy A
Moveable Feast
BY CONNIE DARLING
ublished posthumously
in 1964, A Moveable
Feast remains one of
Ernest Hemingway's most
beloved works. It is his
classic memoir of Paris in the
1920s, filled with irreverent
portraits of other expatriate
luminaries such as F. Scott
Fitzgerald and Gertrude
Stein; tender memories of
his first wife, Hadley; and
insightful recollections of
his own early experiments
with his craft. It is a literary
feast, brilliantly evoking the
exuberant mood of Paris
after World War I and the
youthful spirit, unbridled
creativity, and unquenchable
enthusiasm that Hemingway
himself epitomized.
The Beachlovers Book
Club
will
discuss
A
Moveable Feast on April
18 at 10:30 a.m. at the Poe
Library. All are welcome,
there will be coffee, treats
and great conversation.

clothes are needed but packing the food
is tricky. Ferry passengers are often
hauling carefully packed bins knowing
they cant run down to the corner for
milk or juice. There are wheeled carts at
the boat docks to help load the luggage
and two hospitality interns are on hand
during the summer to greet new arrivals.
Once on the island, all transportation is
by golf carts which are included as part
of the house rental fee. Bicycles are also
a great way to experience the island and
can be transported on the ferry. One
guest remarked, The lack of automobiles
alone brought me back several shades
of sanity. Summer rentals fill up fast,
often six months in advance.
The inconveniences of the location
have been minimized as much as
possible. In the case of emergency, there
are fire and medical responders on the
island and a helipad. Trash and recycling
is handled by barge. Some things just
require patience. Ive often seen painters
and plumbers on the ferry headed to do
repairs and barges of building materials,
even bulldozers, en route. But Dewees
visitors and residents happily accept
these obstacles as the trade-off for the
simplicity, luxury and seclusion of
Dewees.
