Gone are the Good ‘Ole Days 

Story and Cover Artwork 

by Debbie Brady Robinson 

Veteran ‘cruisers’ today, twenty 

years ago my husband Mark and I 

enjoyed our very first travel abroad 

the high seas - destination point, 

Nassau, Grand Bahamas! The 

adventure began on board a 

Carnival Cruise line vessel (likely 

retired by now) the name of which 

escapes my memory. Last January, 

along with many wonderful Tybee 

friends, we once again set sail on a 

Carnival cruise aboard the beautiful 

ship “Glory”. Looking back, I recall 

experiencing a combination of both 

thrill and disappointment during both 

of our Carnival cruises! 

“The Agony and the Ecstasy” (as 

they say), I still remember 

experiencing both during that first 

cruise in 1986. Our stateroom, a 

replica of the “Love Boat”, it was not! 

Two twin births hinged on the side of 

a wall in a room the size of a closet! 

Still a young married couple, Mark 

and I stored our luggage on the top 

birth and managed to snuggle up 

each night on the bottom bunk - 

physically impossible today! There 

was perhaps one positive, 

depending on your point of view, it 

was perfect for multi-tasking since 

the shower hung directly over the 

commode - ugh, the Agony! Twenty 

years later, however, our stateroom 

was wonderful! Large enough for a 

Queen size bed, double closets, and 

a bathroom with separate shower, 

commode and vanity - down right lavish 

in comparison! 

Stepping off the ship, and setting our 

eyes upon Nassau for the first time in 

1986, I managed to overcome the 

horrors of our stateroom! The ‘Straw 

Market’ was one of our first sights, and 

what a sight it was! Manned by 

wonderfully talented artists - natives as 

dark as ebony clad in jewel colored 

garments (a vision to behold), hand 

crafting each and every ware. Superbly 

designed baskets, hats and bags were 

stacked and hung as far as the eye 

could see! Color, beautiful color 

everywhere. A buzz of chatter and 

banter, bargains galore, and the hustle 

and bustle of free enterprise was 

apparent at every glance! And, we the 

tourists just couldn’t get enough of it. The 

delight, the ecstasy - a wonder to 

behold! I still recall the thrill of having my 

photograph taken along with the artist 

who hand-made and signed the basket I 

selected! Sadly, the island has 

changed. It is true that the new addition 

to the island, the “Atlantis” gambling 

casino, is fun, exciting, and 

breathtakingly beautiful in all its splendor 

- but the quaint little island village that I 

recall, is no more. The straw market has 

been replaced by high priced (anywhere 

U.S.A, etc…) chain stores. The 

bargains, the handcrafting, the native 

color is all but gone. 

Tybee, too, is at risk of losing its color. 

Tybee has enjoyed the luxury of being a 

sleepy little fishing village for a very long 

time. Part of the island’s charm has 

always been its eccentricity, and a live 

and let live attitude, ‘but the times, they 

are a changing‘. Our little island is no 

longer a secret! Tybee has been 

discovered, or re-discovered, to be 

...Continued Page 4 


more specific! Prior to the BIG 

“H”, category three+ storm 

that hit the island in the late 

1800’s, Tybee was, much like 

Jekyll Island, a play ground 

resort for the rich and famous. 

The masses had no way to 

reach the island until the 

railroad was completed in 1887. 

The train was the standard 

mode of transportation on and 

off the island until 1932 when 

the motor car made it obsolete, 

and the cars have been coming 

in droves ever since with 

nowhere near enough parking 

for them all! 

Tybee is entering the end of an 

Era. Gone are many of the 

wonderful old structures of the 

20 th Century”. The Old Tybrisa 

Pier and Pavilion burned to the 

ground in May of 1967. It took 

thirty years, but we finally got 

4 


our new pavilion! It’s different, 

maybe not quite as charming 

to those of us who feel a 

certain nostalgia toward the 

old ‘Grand Dame’, but she’s 

stronger and a magnificent 

structure! The Old DeSoto, 

what a treasure she was in her 

hay day. Everyone 

possessing any history on the 

island has a story about the old 

DeSoto Beach Club (just ask 

us)! The Amusement Park, 

the boardwalk, the Triangle 

Drive In, Cobb’s Apartments, 

the list goes on and on. The 

sad fact, buildings, like people 

(discounting those of us in 

denial), age. Some can be 

saved, like the jewels created 

by Jane Coslyck, but some 

cannot. Everything and 

everyone, eventually, grows 

old. Now, I have completely 

depressed myself!

The question, what’s next? Capt. Chris’ is gone, 

and rumors abound - The Breakfast Club, or Chu‘s 

Dept Store? Two wonderful beloved Tybee 

traditions owned and operated by families with 

deep roots on Tybee. The Chu family, hard working 

honorable people dedicated to Tybee, has played a 

major part of the development and direction of 

Tybee since Mr. T. S. Chu opened the department 

store in the 1930’s. The Breakfast Club, owned by 

Tybee devotees Jodee and Cheryl Sadowski, has 

been in business since the 70’s. What would Tybee 

do if the Breakfast Club sold? How long will we still 

have Chu’s? Those who stay in operation long 

enough deserve to, and inevitably do retire. Would 

a buyer continue to operate the Breakfast Club as 

a restaurant, or would the property be sold for 

construction. What a loss that would be for Tybee! 

Unfortunately, the scenario does not look good. 

There are currently no incentives for owning and 

operating a restaurant or retail business on the 

island. There is no inducement to stay - the taxes 

and overhead continue to skyrocket! Small 

business is being forced off of the island one by 

one! Is Tybee’s business district destined for the 

homogenized look of the high priced (anywhere, 

U.S.A, etc) Nassau? 

Growth is inevitable. It’s not just Tybee, it’s 

happening everywhere! It’s a problem for coastal 

cities, towns and villages around the globe. The 

dilemma, ninety percent of the population desires 

to live in areas encompassing about ten percent of 

the world’s land mass. Moreover, those who can 

afford it are willing to pay for the privilege - ‘the law 

of supply and demand‘! “The masses come lured 

by surf, sand, and laid-back lifestyles. Call it the 

Jimmy Buffett syndrome... More than half the 

nation’s population now lives in coastal counties, 

which amount to only 17 percent of the land in the 

lower 48., says, Joel K. Bourne, Jr., author of 

“America’s coastlines are in danger of being loved 

to death“, published in National Geographic. 

Look out, here they come! “The first baby 

boomers turned 60 last January, the cutting edge of 

what will soon be the wealthiest, healthiest, and 

largest group of retirees the nation has ever 

seen…some 78 million strong. Imagine a tidal wave 

of fit, tanned, sixty-somethings crashing on the 

nation’s shores every year“ 

No, we can’t blow up the Lazaretto Creek Bridge as 

some would like, (Diane Hosti Ring, for one) they 

are coming! Tybee has always had a sort of “don‘t 

mess with my island” attitude. When I was growing 

up on the island, there were only about five 

hundred residents. I recall some of the island’s 

elders disliking the “new folks” moving to the island 

and making changes. Sometime during the 1960’s 

I remember the new stop sign going up at Second 

and 9 th . It was a pretty big deal in those days! As 

legend has it, Mr. Solomon (the elder and family 

patriarch), ran the newly installed stop sign. When 

the young police officer asked Mr. Solomon if he 

realized that he had run through the intersection 

without stopping, the older gentleman indignantly 

responded, “well, I didn’t put the *&@#%@!! thing 

there! “ Tybee - colorful, quirky, eccentric, 

development or not - may her character never 

change!

By Judy O’Neill 

Thanks to all of you who sent me some “You might 

be on Tybee if…” ideas. It’s always fun to see how 

other people see everyday life on this little spot of 

dirt. Let’s throw in a few “remember when” thoughts 

too. Consider these: 

You might live on Tybee if… 

…you’ve ever had at least one non-working boat in 

your yard for any length of time. 


…you’ve ever made a REALLY early trip to the 

Breakfast Club in your pajamas. 


…on your recent zip down Jones Ave. (to avoid 

tourist traffic on Butler), you had to navigate around 

four bicyclists, three joggers, an out of town “let’s 

look arounder” doing 15 mph, two squirrels crossing 

the road, somebody who’d been out all night and 

was trying to walk home, and a utility truck. 


(Question: Weren’t all the jogger/walker/biker folks 

supposedly directed to the bike path on Second Ave. 

or even Lovell? That would be a whole lot safer.) 

You might be a long-time resident of Tybee if … 

…you still have to remind yourself every year that 

the parking decal goes on the front, not back, 

windshield, 

…you can wave at people from afar because you 

know what they drive, 

…somebody in your family has some sort of 

alternative vehicle, like a scooter. 

You might have been here a long time if… 

…you remember when the movie Gator was filmed 

at the original Ocean Plaza. 

You might have been living or visiting here a long 

time if you remember... 

...changing clothes in the bath house, 

…the Brass Rail (no, not the condos), 

…Bill’s Grill (I want a corn dog right now!), 

…shopping in the mysterious upstairs of Chu’s 

Department Store, 

…the Dragon Palace, 

…the Veranda, 

…Shorty’s Turntable, 

…the Ladha Motel, 

…Poor Pat’s, 

…boat races on the north end, 

…climbing the tower on the south end, 

…watching the pier burn, 

…how long it took to get the NEW pier. 

You might have been here a long time if you 

remember… 

…climbing and playing all over the fort, 

…jetties and no dune crossovers, 

…counting how many blocks you walked by the 

number of jetties you went over, 

…the crab-filled pools along the jetties, 

…Dirty Dan peddling nuts, 

…local youngsters selling bags of boiled peanuts on 

the beach, 

…Sally Pearce, 

…Nickie’s Lounge and the Charbroil, 

…Strickland’s Market (and their rotisserie chicken). 

Keep those cards and emails coming ya’ll. I’ve gotta 

go get a hot dog and find some boiled peanuts. All 

this talk about the good ole days makes me hungry.

Dear Fran, 

There’s been all this publicity about the new 

slogan or motto for Savannah. I’ve come up with a 

motto to use in publicity for our island that describes 

our outlook on things perfectly. This could attract 

people by the zillions. TYBEE ISLAND: WE’RE 

EASILY AMUSED BUT RARELY IMPRESSED. 

I’m running for Mayor! 

The Tybee Brain 

Dear Brain, 

That motto does pretty well sum us up. We like to 

have fun and can do it without a lot of planning, and 

we really don’t much care about who’s who or what’s 

what or what the rest of the world does or thinks. I 

don’t know about the zillions though. But then, who 

cares, right? 

Thanks! 

Fran 

Dear Fran, 

I’ve been reading the BREEZE. Most of the articles 

are about drinking, partying, who visited who or did 

what where, and babies. This sounds just like my 

small town paper up in Greene County. (Except we 

don’t admit that we drink.) It’s nice to know that 

small towns share some of the same things no 

matter where they are. 

Yours truly, 

Lilly Ponds 

Dear Lilly, 

That’s true. Makes you feel right at home, doesn’t 

it? 

Sincerely, 

Fran 

Dear Fran, 

Where’s the Chinese restaurant? My family needs 

some Happy Family and egg rolls or they become 

grumpy family. 

Help! 

Juan Taun 

Dear Juan, 

No Happy Family and egg rolls for you! How about 

chimichangas with duck sauce and eat with your 

eyes closed? 

Mu Shoo too! 

Fran 

Dear Fran, 

I have a great idea for that guy who makes the 

LEISURE LIMO BEACH CART. If he can rig up an 

antenna or mini-satellite disk to it so we can watch 

Dear Fran 

Jim?) 

all the ball games—or in my girlfriend’s 

case, Days of Our Lives—when we’re on 

the beach, he’ll make a fortune! 

Thanks! 

Tex Mesidge 

Dear Tex, 

A fee-nom-in-all idea! (What do you think 

Geniuses Unite, 

Fran 

Dear Fran, 

Will living on Tybee make me go bald? I was looking 

at pictures in the Breeze of some folks who live on 

the island and there ain’t much hair there. 

Yours truly, 

Vy Talis 

Dear Vy, 

Living on Tybee does not contribute to baldness. It 

sometimes contributes to strange behavior, like 

guys and some gals shaving their heads. But, that’s 

just a fashion statement or a convenience issue. 

Quit worrying, 

Fran 

Dear Readers, 

Here is a nice email we at the BREEZE received. 

And in answer to the questions…I have never found 

a shark’s tooth either. My sources tell me that Kathy 

Brown, formerly of Fannie’s, is becoming Captain 

Kathy. 

Fran 

Dear Fran or Editors: 

I was recently on your island for “Beach Bum.” It 

was not my first time on the island but my first beach 

bum weekend. What an absolute blast. I have 2 

questions for you however. I always walk your 

beach looking for my Tybee treasures (no, not the 

live sand dollars). I have never found a shark’s 

tooth. I would like to know what kind of dental plan 

you have your sharks on, or is it that I just need 

glasses? It concerns me. Secondly, where is Kathy 

Brown? I know she has retired from bartending but 

I missed saying hello this trip. Finally, although I did 

not find my shark’s tooth, the treasures I did find are 

you local Tybee people and your many kindnesses. 

Here’s to wishing all of you a great and prosperous 

season. 

Sincerely, 

K. C. Adams, Franklin, NC

First of all…thanks to everyone who helped look 

for Ma Coota Enn Lee Ones. After being ripped 

from the Marine Science Center, she was found in 

the Marsh on the Spanish Hammock side. Her 

injuries were similar to sea turtles that are hit by 

boat propellers…however, this was no accident. 

The police are addressing the injury and theft and, 

with conviction of the arrested perpetrator, that 

reward money that you donated so generously will 

be paid to the crime busters. Dave Cahill, local 

boat builder, volunteered to make the fiberglass 

repairs to Ma Cootah, and she should be back on 

tour this month. Thanks, Tybee! 

Dave Cahill making repairs to Ma Cootah. 

This month we’ll unveil these turtles: 

Jimmy Carter’s Lighthouse Turtle - “You look out for 

me and I’ll look out for you” 

This began as a turtle and our Tybee 

Lighthouse…Now it’s the entire Tybee Light Station. 

WOW! Even cars in the parking lot in front of the 

white picket fence. This beauty will be housed on 

the Lighthouse grounds behind its own little white 

picket fence. Do go see…the miniatures are 

exquisite. Sponsored by Labeled Lightning 

Protection of Atlanta, GA.

Irene Sullivan’s “He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother” 

The turtle carries the rabbit in this version, and the 

colors are pure Sullivan. Irene wants St. Michael’s 

to have this turtle, and if you’d like to help make 

that happen, give her a call at the Irene Sullivan 

Gallery 786-8786...Go by and take a picture! 

Kauila - Nancy Adams and the Tybee Arts 

Association - riding her surfboard and looking for 

good WAVES! Talk to me, Ronnie and Sammy! 

She can be surfing out front while the shark lurks 

in the background ready to pounce if she 

falls…and hey, she’s got a great bathing suit on 

too! Call us - 786-0617. 

Nancy Easterlin’s “Captain Jack Turtle” is about 

ready to lead the boarding charge announcing 

Pirate Fest. He will be greeting mates over at The 

Crab Shack. Captain Jack is sponsored by 

DeVivo Marketing. Methinks Cap’n Jack needs 

a fair damsel to share his repast…how about… 

“Miss Tybee Island” by artist Judy Schexneyder - 

a svelte beauty worthy of a successful 

pirate…(are we talkin bout the Jack or Captain 

Jack?) I think both men would agree that this gal 

deserves a place of honor at The Crab Shack! 

Virginia, please call our escort service at 786- 

0617 and arrange a meeting! Thanks. 

Tony Pandolfini’s “Tybee Faces” is a shell packed 

full of people we all know and/or recognize. How 

about a contest with a great prize for whoever can 

name all the people! Where should faces go? 

Ideas…call and tell us. 

Awesome, gorgeous, the flag of the Turtle Empire 

will fly over the Tybee Island sign at the entrance to 

our island. This “one world” themed turtle is what 

we’re all about folks. Titled “A Turtle all Nations Can 

Love” by Sandra Kennedy, it will be positioned so 

that visitors can get themselves in the photo with 

the turtle and the Tybee Island sign. This is going 

to look great! We’re ready for a sponsor on this 

one! 

“Caretta, Caretta”, by Sundial Charter Captain 

Rene Heidt, is taking shape as a bona fide 

representation of our nesting sea turtles. 

Scheduled for installation in August at Beachside 

Colony, she will be in place, with a full compliment 

of sea turtle lore to educate our visitors, just before 

those hatchlings start popping out of their nests. 

Thanks Beachside Colony, Trey Clark and Betty 

Lou Futrell, sponsors. 

Jon Pickering’s “Roadside Turtle, Caretta Tybetta”, 

will be out directing traffic soon. If you’d like to 

sponsor the perfect……..moving...turtle warning 

sign…..call now! This guy has a serious message 

to deliver in a really cute way. 

“Tiffany Turtle” with a stained glass lighted back, 

by artist Mary Ingalls, is headed for the Hilton’s 

Oceanfront Plaza. See her in the evening with her 

lights on…beautiful! 

Myrtle Chu’s pink bench is ready...it is soooo good 

looking. Great job by the Coastal Wood Design 

folks over at Earth and Stone. Now when is that 

marriage going to take place with Bert Solomon? 

Maybe “Saturday Martini” can pick up a date for us 

while researching Tybee Night Life!

Summer Time Blues 

After such a mild winter I had great expectations 

for spring and summer fishing. As it turns out I’ve 

been singing the blues. Little or no rain at the right 

tide has held up the white shrimp crop. It’s just 

been tough to get bait. That’s all behind us now 

according to George “the night watchman” 

Reinters. Joey’s Bait House at Hogans Marina on 

Wilmington Island has shrimp 24/7, and that’s good 

news! 

Now the fish stories: Make no mistake 

we’ve been catching fish. It’s just the cooler at the 

end of the day that’s disappointing. We have 

caught just about every species of fish on the 

Ryan “Damn” Johnson 

with a nice red! 


inside that we target. Trout, lots of them, just an 

inch or so short of 13 inches. Reds, lots of them, 

10 to 12 inches just short of the 14 to 23 inch slot 

limit. Big Reds out the wazoo! Now that’s a good 

problem to have! There is no easier way to turn a 

meat fisherman into a sport fisherman than to put 

him on 20 or so huge reds back to back and make 

them say give. 

Flounder, we’ve caught ‘um, Black Drum, 

we’ve caught ‘um, Sheepshead, caught ‘um, 

Whiting, got ‘um, Spanish, got ‘um, Sharks, you 

know it, 

Ladyfish, boy have we, Tarpon, nope! 

Russ Kill with his 10 lb. 

plus, Red. 

It’s just hard to fill the box with fish during 

this heat. Get out at day 

break, fish till 10am, or hold 

up until the sun starts to set 

for a late afternoon bite, and 

I’ll see you in the river.

IFA Redfish Tour 

Savannah 

The 2006 IFA Redfish tour swings 

through town on August 12 th . This is a chance for 

the weekend angler to mix it up with the pros. 

That’s what makes this one day event so exciting. 

A lot of the same teams you’ve seen on TV will be 

right here, and you can go head to head against 

teams from Ranger, Yamaha and Cabela’s to name 

a few. 

The IFA Redfish tour is a series of one day 

events that consist of 6 divisions, Florida East 

Coast, Florida West Coast, Georgia, South 

Carolina, Louisiana and Texas. Two angler teams 

fish artificial lures for the two heaviest Reds within 

the states slot limits. This is a catch and release 

tournament. Your fish must be kept and released 

alive or strict penalties are accessed. Note: The 

Georgia DNR will allow the IFA tournament 

anglers to keep two Reds between 14 and 27 

inches for the Savannah event. 

A low entry fee of $400 per team and a $35 

IFA membership makes it affordable for most 

novice anglers. IFA guaranteed 100% pay back at 

the ramp at every event, including a new Ranger 

Banshee boat rigged with 1 40 HP, 4 stroke 

Yamaha outboard, Power Pole, Minnkota Trolling 

Motor and Humming Bird electronics for 1 st place. 

Now that’s a $20,000 plus boat folks! 

This year’s host venue 

will be Hogans Marina on 

Wilmington Island. Pre-fish day 

will be August 11 th . Registration 

starts at 4pm on the 11 th at 

Hogans, followed by a captains 

meeting at 7pm. Fishing will begin on Saturday 

August 12 th at first safe light from Hogans. 

I have found the IFA to be a fun bunch of 

folks to fish with; however they take their business 

serious. If you plan to fish this tournament you 

need to go online to www.redfishtour.com and 

check out the rules and regulations. Such things 

as late entry fees, safety, fishing tackle, fishing 

methods, live wells and insurance will be of 

interest. 

Even if you don’t fish bring the family to 

Hogans on Saturday afternoon around 2p, for the 

weigh-in. You are guaranteed to see some huge

Wellness Tid Bits 


By Debbe Bond 

Hot Tubs and Pregnancy – 

Be Careful of Mixing The Two 

If you are pregnant, your back probably hurts, your 

ankles may be swollen and you just can’t seem to 

get comfortable. Even in the first trimester (your 

first twelve weeks), you may feel perfectly fine; 

you’re not showing yet and it feels like nothing has 

really changed. You’re wearing your normal 

clothes and with the exception of some minor 

morning sickness, you feel great. Either way, you 

feel like relaxing in your hot tub. Sounds like a 

good way to settle down from the stresses of the 

day, right? Maybe, maybe not. Read on to make 

sure you are taking care of both you and your baby 

before you get in. 

You need to know that it is important to use caution 

when using a hot tub for relaxation and pain relief. 

Hot tubs can cause hyperthermia, which is an 

abnormally high body temperature. Using hot tubs, 

jacuzzi tubs or very hot baths during pregnancy 

when the water 

temperature is too hot 

may not be safe. The 

water temperature in a 

hot or spa tub is usually 

too warm and can 

overheat you and your 

baby. 

A body temperature of 

101º F and above can 

raise concerns during pregnancy. The American 

College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists 

(ACOG) states that becoming overheated in a hot 

tub is not recommended during pregnancy. ACOG 

also recommends that pregnant women never let

Although the specific degree differs from one 

woman to another, there is still a concern related to 

hot or spa tub use during pregnancy. 

Hot tubs are usually programmed to maintain a 

water temperature of 104º F. It takes only 10-20 

minutes in a hot tub to raise your body temperature 

to 102º F or higher. 

A hot bath, which is not uncomfortable or scalding, 

is a safer way to relax. In a bath much of your upper 

body will remain out of the water, making you less 

likely to overheat. Additionally, the water in a bath 

begins to cool off, as opposed to a hot tub, further 

reducing any risk of overheating. 

What can you do to reduce the risk if you choose to 

use a hot or spa tub: 

Although it is not recommended using hot tubs 

during pregnancy, here are some ideas for 

reducing any risk: 

· Re-program your hot or spa tub to maintain a 

lower temperature. 

· Limit time in a hot tub to 10 minutes or less. 

· Monitor the temperature of the water by dipping a 

thermometer in the hot tub. 

·Monitor your body temperature to avoid 

overheating. 

· Pay attention to warning signs such as becoming 

uncomfortable or if you stop sweating.

I’m sure that most of you have heard from 

time to time the old saying: Don’t believe 

everything you read in the paper and see on 

the news. I was reminded of this a few 

weeks ago when Tybee lost power for three 

and a half hours due to the actions of a local 

knucklehead taking on a utility pole just 

east of Bull River. One television reporter 

from the VOD network (voice of doom) 

informed viewers that Tybee eateries were 

unable to open and serve the many locals and 

tourists who were stuck here during the 

outage. This was simply not the case. While 

most restaurants were closed, at least one 

was not affected by the incident. The 

Riptide Grill didn’t 

miss a beat. Riptide 

owner, “Dean-Dean 

The Business 

Machine,” was 

prepared with a 

large generator 

which was used to 

power the soft 

drink compressor, 

the sound system, 

frozen drink 

dispensers, a fan 

for the hostess and, 

most importantly, 

the cash register. 

The outdoor kitchen 

is fueled by gas so 

food was not 

affected. By the 

14 


way, I’m kind of surprised that so many of 

you still don’t know where the Riptide is. 

Some retail businesses were also open, 

handling transactions by hand. I’m talking 

about using pencil and paper to calculate 

the sales tax! Not very many people know 

how to do that these days. We have become 

far too dependent on computers and 

calculators to do our thinking for us. Case 

in point: A recent survey/test of high 

school graduates showed that a large 

percentage of them did not possess the 

skills necessary to figure out how much of a 

tip to leave at a restaurant. Sad. Things 

sure have changed. 

Remember when… 

Carjacking was something you did prior to 

changing a flat tire? 

A home invasion was the result of all the 

kids in the neighborhood coming over to 

your house because your mom was serving 

fresh homemade ice cream? 

See you next month.

By Amy Gaster, Event Chairperson 

Tybee Fest announces the start of a new island 

tradition we hope to continue each Labor Day 

weekend. Tybee Fest will present a Luau 

Celebration on Sunday, September 3 rd , from 4:00 – 

9:00 pm at Memorial Park (event will be held in Gym 

if it rains). The Tybee Luau is free and open to the 

public and will feature tropical themed live music, 

hula hoop contest, limbo contest, luau food, festive 

drinks, and more. As a special cultural and 

education feature, there will be a group of 

Polynesian dancers, “The Children of Polynesia,” 

representing the islands of Samoa, Hawaii, and 

Tahiti. The dancers perform annually at the 

Savannah Asian Festival and at luaus, parties, and 

functions. Their interactive show demonstrates 

traditional dances and island culture, and best of all, 

they encourage audience participation…hula 

anyone? The event promises to be a fun filled 

afternoon for the entire family! 

Even though the Tybee Luau will take place on 

Sunday, we invite all Tybee residents, businesses 

and visitors to join in the “Aloha Spirit” all 

weekend. We are asking Tybee businesses to 

participate by creating their own Luau themed 

weekend at their businesses. Some ideas would 

be to offer Hawaiian themed food or drink 

specials, Hawaiian music, leis, or any other island 

themed promotion imaginable. We hope all Tybee 

residents, guests, and business employees will 

wear Hawaiian themed apparel and participate in 

the festivities. We have listed below a few 

businesses that will participate in the ALOHA 

Spirit all weekend (list valid as of Tybee Breeze 

press time, more participation expected). 



Get Lei’d on Lei-bor Day Weekend at the 

Following Island locations: 

Tybee Fest 1st Annual Lei-bor Day Luau, 

Memorial Park, Sunday September 3 rd , 

4:00 – 9:00 

AJ’s, Atlantis Inn, Beachside Colony/Sea Dog’s, 

The Crab Shack, Fannies on the Beach, 

McElwees, Ocean Plaza/Dolphin Reef, 

Spanky’s, Sting Rays, Tybee Times, Uncle 

Burt’s Sea Dawgs, And more!!! 

Aloha? 

The Aloha Spirit is a well known reference to the 

attitude of friendly acceptance, care, and 

hospitality for which the Hawaiian Islands are so 

famous. In the Hawaiian language, ALOHA 

stands for much more than hello or goodbye or 

love. Its deeper meaning is the joyful (oha) 

sharing (alo) of life energy (ha) in the present 

(alo). The Tybee Luau weekend offers our island 

the opportunity to embrace this Hawaiian spirit of 

hospitality and celebration. 

16 


Lei-bor Day? 

Tybee Fest hopes to transform Labor Day weekend 

into “Lei-bor Day Weekend” …a time where the 

Aloha Spirit will take over Tybee and everyone will be 

warmly welcomed island wide. Residents and 

visitors can get “lei’d” all over the island — that is, 

gifted with a garland of island flowers or small 

seashells. Tybee Fest will conclude the weekend 

long festivities with the Tybee Luau on Sunday from 

4:00 until 9:00 at Memorial Park! 

Hope to see you there! Aloha!

“ Welcome to Ty-B. Please obey all laws and rules 

of the beach to make TY-B a better place 

to visit and live. Have a good day.” 

--Chief Jimmy Price 

Lifeguards Update 

The Lifeguard Division recently 

underwent its first review from 

Starguard, which is a certified 

lifeguard education program, similar 

to the American Red Cross. Tybee 

Island has a partnership with 

Starguard which allows us to 

organize and train prospective 

lifeguards in an open water 

environment. Starguard has a minimum 

set of guidelines and requirements with 

which we have to comply. However, since there is 

currently no specification specifically geared 

toward ocean lifeguarding, Tybee is a pilot program 

of sorts. We are held to a different set of guidelines 

than a pool or water park. 

The evaluation consists of an unannounced 

onsite inspection from an employee of Starguard. 

This inspector is from another area and has no 

prior knowledge of the program they are assigned 

to inspect. They are looking to determine if the 

program meets or exceeds the minimum 

requirements, and also to make notes of a 

program’s willingness to go that extra mile for 

beach safety. 

The inspector came down on June 12 and 

met with Corporal Heckman, who explained how 

our program operated. Afterward, the inspector 

observed several lifeguards performing their daily 

duties, unaware that they were under observation. 

Then the inspector took a tour of our operation, 

ending with a direct observation test of the 

lifeguards in mock rescue situations. When that 

was over, he briefed Corporal Heckman on the final 

results of the inspection. 

...On the beat 

with Tybee Police Chief 

Jimmy Price & Major Chris Case 

Overall the Tybee Island Lifeguards did 

extremely well. Out of a possible five stars, we 

received a rating as a Four Star Facility. Lifeguard 

Josh Janufka won a Five Star Award of Excellence 

for his performance on a mock rescue. 

Because of our status as a 

beachfront operation, we were not 

held to several standards, and the 

inspector told us that they will come 

up with some new standards 

specially suited for us. 

Starguard was particularly 

impressed with the cooperation and 

organization of the several 



departments that work together to keep our beach 

safe. My thanks and congratulations go out to 

Corporal Heckman and his staff for a job well done.

The Results Are In 

On the 4th of July weekend, that is. For our 

purposes, we considered the weekend as 

beginning on Friday, June 30, at the morning shift 

change at 7:00 AM, and ending on Wednesday, 

July 5, at 7:00 in the morning. And what a weekend 

it was. 

The traffic figures are: 

These are the numbers of cars coming on 

to the island and passing Breezy Point. The July 3 

figures are not a record, with more than 16,000 


cars counted on July 3 in both 2005 and 2004. But 

it is impressive for a Tuesday. Starting at the 10:00 

hour, over a thousand cars each hour poured into 

Tybee, until the 8:00 PM hour. That made it eleven 

straight hours with over a thousand cars each 

hour—and that’s a new record. The total for the five 

days comes to 60,045, and we’re not sure—that 

could be a record, too. 

For the period, we recorded a total of 353 

calls for service, with a total of 226 new case 

numbers assigned. A total of 45 custodial arrests 

were made and 124 various citations were issued. 

We counted 9 traffic wrecks and 20 assorted 

medical emergencies. The fireworks event on 

Monday the 3rd was the busiest time. That day 

alone we made 26 arrests. We even added 

another court session in July just for that weekend. 

The fireworks were great, but we were glad 

when the weekend was over. 

Attack of the Killer Vegetables 

From case number 

2007072503 on July 4, 

2006: 

“Unknown 

person(s) threw 

onions, peaches, 

tomatoes, and a beer 

can at the windshield 

of the vehicle causing it 

to break in several 

places. The vehicle 

was parked in the city 

parking lot the 

evening before. The 

items looked as if they had been thrown from a 

balcony on Strand Avenue. The building has six 

rental units with porches facing the vehicle.” 

We don’t make this stuff up. Honest. 

How Not to Beat a DUI 

On the night of June 12, Senior Officer 

Mathews watched as three people climbed into a 

convertible with the top down. Two of the persons

sat up on the back of the car with their feet in the 

back seat, and the driver peeled away north on 

Butler Avenue. Officer Mathews lighted them up 

with his radar, and watched them reach 68 miles 

per hour while still in the 30 mph zone. He caught 

up with the car and pulled them over five or six 

blocks away. 

The driver had all the clues of an impaired 

driver, (he admitted to drinking “one beer”), and 

was arrested for DUI. At the station, Officer 

Mathews set up the intox machine, and the subject 

blew into the tube for the required two tests. They 

came back as .169 and .189, more than twice the 

legal limit. However, state law requires the two 

tests to be closer together in number. (The 

suspect probably burped in between the first and 

second test, causing the second reading to be 

much higher.) Now the rules say that the officer 

must wait twenty minutes before retesting, so he 

left the suspect with the jailer in the booking room 

where the intox is kept. 

After the mandatory twenty-minute wait, 

Officer Mathews returned to retest the suspect. 

But something wasn’t right. The intox machine 

was completely dead. No display, no lights, 

nothing. He checked it out and discovered that a 

fuse socket on the back of the machine, within 

easy reach of the suspect and clearly labeled 

“Fuse”, no longer contained a fuse. He brought a 

fuse from his car and put it into the socket, and the 

machine immediately powered up. But the damage 

was done. The machine had been tampered with, 

and in order to get a legal breath test, it would have 

to be recertified by the Georgia State Patrol. 

The suspect denied any knowledge of the 

missing fuse. He was searched completely, his 

pockets emptied and his body patted down, and 

the entire room was looked over from top to 

bottom. The fuse was gone. The suspect could 

not be retested on the intox. 

But all was not lost. Officer Mathews 

reread the suspect the Implied Consent 

agreement, and the suspect agreed to be tested. 

The officer, who is a certified EMT, then brought 

out a syringe and blood kit, and drew a sample of 

the suspect’s blood. Then he applied another 

charge to the list containing Speeding 68 in a 30, 

Reckless Driving, and DUI (Refusal): Interfering 

with Government Property. The new charge was a 

felony, and would dramatically increase the bond 

amount. 

The suspect bonded out and we are 

awaiting the return of the blood kit from the Crime 

Lab. The Intoxilyzer 5000 has had a slight addition 

to its back panel—the fuse socket is no longer 

accessible. 

So what happened to the fuse? Our best 

guess is that the suspect swallowed it. He 

probably thought it was a good idea at the time.

Welcome back to Sergeant April Smith, 

who took a few months off to give birth to a healthy 

baby boy and to be a full-time mom for a while. She 

has returned to shift work and is finishing up the 

field training for new officer Jose Pichardo. 

That’s all for this month. See you in September. 


It’s already the 1 st of August and 

with just 20 days until the arrival of 

“peak” hurricane season, ARE YOU 

READY??? Well if ya aint?? It’s your 

own fault. 

The Citizen’s Hurricane 

Preparedness Program recently 

presented by the City of Tybee was a most 

informative and interesting event. Representatives 

from various organizations that would play a key 

role before, during and after a hurricane strike were 

set up to pass out information and answer 

questions. Paul Yuma of the National Weather 

Service gave an interesting presentation on 

22 


With Nancy Anderson 

weather science, the role of the National Weather 

Service and storm statistics. Despite the fact that 

between 1850 and 2005 only 6 major storms have 

come within 50 miles of Tybee Island, we are still 

extremely vulnerable. Tybee’s shallow ocean 

waters and surrounding creeks and marshes 

contribute to a higher surge, as you have been 

made aware of, by the recently placed signs 

around the island, a category 2 

storm would have a predicted surge 

of at least 11 ft. 

Most folks fear the wind, however 

flooding is responsible for more 

fatalities and costly damage; 

likewise is the eye feared. The 

weather systems surrounding the 

storm are more damaging than the eye of the 

storm; it does not need to be a major storm to 

create havoc. 

Tropical storm 

Allison in June of 

2001 produced 35+ 

inches of rain; 22 

fatalities and $5 

billion in damages. 

The heaviest rains 

are in the front of the 

storm; tornados to 

the west. 

Who’s in charge? Clayton Scott of Chatham 

County Emergency Management briefed the group 

on how the shots are called as far monitoring the 

storm, keeping municipalities informed and 

advising. The CEMA does not issue an evacuation 

order, that is left up to the Mayors of the 

municipalities. 

IT’S COMING! So what do you do? First of all DO 

NOT wait until a storm is threatening to begin 

preparedness. You should have your plan in place 

for any disaster but definitely prior to the June 1 st 

start of the hurricane season. CEMA or the 

American Red Cross can provide needed 

information to help you in creating your plan. 

The plan should include: making all family

members including caregivers aware of potential 

dangers; choose an Out-of-Town contact and 

make sure all members know the number so that 

displaced family members can notify the contact of 

their well being and whereabouts; plan and know 

escape routes or in the event of tornado go to an 

interior room or a closet with no windows; advance 

preparation for special needs as well as pets. 

Make an emergency kit and store in portable 

containers. 

You can pick up material at Tybee City Hall, or go 

online www.fema.gov and www.redcross.org with 

helpful information on preparedness. 

When to evacuate?? Evacuate when order is 

issued. DO NOT take the wait and see attitude. 

Clayton stressed that the sooner the better to 

avoid the traffic situation resulting from the 

hurricane Floyd evacuation several years ago. 

What to take? Your emergency kit, as outlined in 

the brochure that you are gonna go out and get 

TODAY. Clayton stressed the importance of taking 

with you important documents especially original 

copies, insurance papers and an inventory of 

personal property. Photographing each room and 

putting on a disk is a very good way to keep an 

inventory. Rubbermaid containers are very 

suitable for storing what you are taking, but 

remember your vehicle will only hold so many! 

Although they did 

not take the 

p o d i u m , 

representatives 

from TIPD, TIFD, 

Marine Rescue 

Squadron, 

Chatham County Health Department, Salvation 

Army, Red Cross, Coastal Pet, Ferrell Gas, Ga. 

Power were all on 

hand, set up in 

locations around the 

complex. The 

representatives 

passed out helpful 

literature, answered 

questions and some had goodies to give away! 

Delta Omega Sorority served refreshments. 

It was off to 

Hollywood for Lynn 

Randall and Bill 

Cannon! Bill and 

Lynn cashed in all of 

their sky Miles and 

went to LA to visit a 

friend. They toured 

all of the sites, found the weather lovely (no 

humidity) and enjoyed the palm trees and tree size 

Bird of Paradise plants. It was a great time but both 

were glad to be back on Tybee! 

Doris Hoppi called to gloat over her recent trip to 

the Bahamas aboard her son Dale’s yacht. They 

sailed from Riviera Beach, Fla. With rough seas 

going but smooth sailing coming back. During the 

weeklong trip they docked and visited Freeport. 

When asked for photos Doris said they were too 

busy keeping a watchful eye on her teenage grand 

kids! Doris is will be enjoying a visit from her oldest 

son Pierre and his family for 2 weeks this month. 

Suppose they are going to celebrate it up big for 

Doris’ 80 th birthday on August 23 rd . HAPPY 

BIRTHDAY DORIS! 

Another of Tybee’s well known young ladies; 

Eleanor Rimedio will also celebrate her 80 th this 

month on August 11 th ! HAPPY BIRTHDAY 

ELEANOR! 



The God Abouts of 

Chapel by the Sea 

are keeping busy! 

July’s event was 

strictly good old 

summertime and 

red, white and blue 

were the 

colors. The delicious lunch was 

provided by the ministry and here 

again was all American with hot dogs, 

burgers, tators salad, beans, 

watermelon and scrumptious 

strawberry, blue berry shortcake which 

24 


was almost to 

pretty to cut! The 

Thirteenth Colony 

Singers, a 

barbershop quartet 

provided delightful 

entertainment. All 

79 folks in 

attendance 

were having a grand time! 

Next month is going to be a really big one! 

It is going to be Sonny Dixon Day on Tybee, 

according to Steve Lee it is going to be 

something special with area officials on hand to 

honor Sonny’s work with senior citizens. Mayor 

Jason is expected to proclaim August 15 th as 

Sonny Dixon Day on Tybee! 

All seniors regardless of religious affiliation are 

invited to participate in this fun loving ministry. 

There is no membership requirement and a lunch 

is served at every event. Sometimes it is covered 

dish and other times lunch is provided by the 

ministry. There is no charge but small donations 

are accepted. 

Out and about recently at 

another popular eatery for 

Tybee folks, Papas on 

Whitemarsh, I ran into Joey 

Burel. Joey was so excited 

that she made the Breeze last 

month! Well she’s made it again this month! 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOEY! 

Mark your calander for the September TAPS 

production of “Night of Jan. 16 th ”to be performed 

September 8 th and 9 th at 8PM and on the 10 th and 

11 th at 7PM, in the Old School Cafeteria. Directed 

by Tybee’s Carol Ingham it is a 1930’ courtroom 

melodrama with an unusual twist: the jury is 

selected from each evening’s audience. Don’t 

know the cast but do know that Billy Doniel and 

Wanda Vitaglino auditioned. 

Our sincerest sympathy goes out to Linda Cox 

and her family on the loss of her husband Jay. Jay 

was a former State Senator, State Court Judge in

Swainsboro. His post retirement career as an artist 

brought him great pleasure. I remember the first 

time I met Jay, it was when they were still living in 

their oceanfront home. He greeted me with that 

beautiful trademark smile that he will be most 

remembered for! I was there to pick up a donation 

for a St. Michael’s Carnival, Jay took me 

downstairs on a tour of his studio. The walls were 

lined with works of his art at that time mostly 

coastal birds and nature and Tybee Lighthouse. Jay 

will also be remembered by many folks for his 

volunteer work with the Historical Society at the 

Lighthouse and service on several City boards. 

Jay did not get out and about in recent years due to 

declining health but when I think of him I can still 

see beautiful smile!

A Fundraiser will be held for 

Reid at the American Legion 

on September 30 th from 

3-9pm! There will be a fish fry 

and a silent auction with 

fabulous gifts donated from 

Tybee & Savannah 

businesses! 

Reid Schaaf is 5 years old 

and was diagnosed with 

Cystic Fibrosis. Reid is the 

son of Walt & Nikki Schaaf, 

grandson of Jim & Becky 

Heflin, Walter & Joan 

Schaaf, Tony & Jean 

Agonosski, and nephew of 

Tommy & Erika Barlow. 

Cystic Fibrosis is a life- 

26 


threatening disorder that 

causes severe lung damage 

and nutritional deficiencies. 

There is no cure and 

respiratory failure is 

the most dangerous 

consequence of CF. 

The Katie Beckett waiver 

program acts as supplemental 

insurance so families can care 

for severely ill and disabled 

children at home. The family 

was informed in Atlanta that 

they would not be eligible for 

this Medicaid program. This 

due to new and stricter federal 

standards the state is using. 

“State blindsided on cuts for kids – AJC 

Friday, January 20, 2006 

Funding was cut and it’s the state’s fault that 

hundreds, perhaps thousands of families, will no 

longer receive the government assistance they had 

come to rely on for therapy and medical expenses. 

The department dropped hundreds of families from 

the program for disabled and medically fragile 

children after it tightened its eligibility rules in 

November 2004 to match the federal government’s 

requirements. Under new and stricter federal 

standards the state is using, some 1,900 children 

no longer qualify for assistance. Upset parents 

flooded lawmakers and the governor’s office with 

complaints, saying their children were suffering 

because they couldn’t afford the therapy and 

medication that previously had been covered…” 

The most important part of Reid’s daily treatment 

regimen is clearing mucus from his lungs. In order 

to keep his airways clear, a $16,000 piece of 

equipment called The Vest Airway Clearance 

System was purchased. This consists of an 

inflatable vest connected by tubes to an air-pulse

generator. This generator 

rapidly inflates and deflates 

the vest, gently compressing 

and releasing the chest wall, 

creating increased airflow 

within the lungs. This process 

moves mucus toward the 

larger airways where it can be 

cleared by coughing. Along 

with this vest treatment, Reid 

takes five prescription 

medications. Of these five, the 

two most important ones are 

Pulmozyme, a mucus-thinning 

drug shown to reduce the 

number of lung infections and 

improve lung function and 

TOBI (tobramycin solution for 

inhalation) an aerosolized 

antibiotic used to treat lung 

infections caused by a 

bacteria called Pseudomonas. 

These two medications alone cost the family over 

$900.00. Insurance covers the other portion which 

is $3700.00. 

Thank You For Your Help! 

Because people with CF 

need a team approach for 

their complex care and 

there is no CF treatment 

facility in Savannah, the 

family travels to Atlanta 

every three months to 

meet with Reid’s CF care 

team at the Children’s 

Healthcare of Atlanta 

Hospital. 

We need fish fry 

donations and silent 

auction donations. If

“Whoop — Whoop!” Good thing I stopped 

drinking this month—‘cuz the “Po-Po” is out in 

full force! So, therefore, I really have nothing 

to say! I have had no fun! Okay, well maybe 

just a little fun… 

God must love stupid people, because he made 

so many of them; and they are making people 

crazy around the island, especially our 

bartenders, and according to our ‘experts,’ it 

happens more frequently the 3 days before and 

after a full moon. I myself do not suffer from 

insanity; I enjoy every minute of it, but you’re 

just jealous because the voices only talk 

to me. No really, don’t worry about 

me; I feel good as long as I take my 

little blue pill every 15 minutes labeled 

“beautiful feeling.” Out of my mind - 

Back in five minutes. 

38 days until football season! But you 

wouldn’t know it by going 

around to all the different 

watering holes; it feels like 

it’s already here! With the 

recent shift in bartenders 

moving locations, you need 

a play chart to keep up! So 

stop into the Wind Rose 

and say 

hey to Joni, stop by 

Gayna’s and see Scarlet, 

then go to North Beach 

Grill (which might not be 

there anymore when this 

article hits the stands) 

where both Brian and 

Alicia are working now, and 

take a 

boat out to Dewey’s to 

see Judy! (Oh yes, 

make sure to say hi to 

Mike and Richard or 

they will be jealous). 

a B.L.D, and relax with a 

drink in your hand and 

enjoy the view, the food, 

and the music!

Mom was visiting 

from Tampa and we 

went around and 

introduced her to 

a ‘few’ people on 

Tybee. I wanted 

her to hear Roy

Tybee Breeze”, and 

he was kind enough to

sing it to her. The 4 th of 

July at Doc’s was fun 

with Lou Ann and Kristi 

bartending, and mom met 

Ms. Sylvia, Joe, Roy, 

and hung out with Lisa 

(who was 

k i n d 

enough 

to take us to Lady and 

Son’s, and introduced us 

to Jamie and Bobby). Craig 

seemed to be too busy 

kissing the Indian to care 

about our day. Karen and 

Michael Leonard 

opened up the new 

restaurant in 

Doc’s, called Doc’s 

Dog House, and 

their son Michael 

is working there as 

well, so stopped in 

an welcome them. 

Then on to Fannies where it 

was the best place to watch 

the fireworks with Christy, 

Ramona and Ragman 

playing with the fireworks

as a backdrop (now that’s what I call dinner and 

a show)! Greg, Carol and Mr. Breeze were all 

hanging out in the very popular Fannie’s boat! 

The Legion 

celebrated with 

karaoke and 

different people 

singing patriotic 

songs; it was very 

moving. Catfish sang 

to us, and Viv had 

the spirit; check out 

her hat! 

Oh, is it

again…the

Visiting our very favorite Tybeeite, Jimmy 

Kehoe, was Joe & Martha Logan, Billy & 

Marti Logan, Nica Logan, Clarleson Logan, 



John & Sharon Michel, Jimmy & Jo Thomas, 

Betty Visconage, and Dixie Vieras! (That’s a 

mouth full!) FYI- Fam’ —Jimmy loves the 

Quarter Bar gift certificates! 

Bahama Bob’s hosted the 

I-95 Rock Babe Bikini 

Contest at the Bahama 

Bob’s 

Tybee 

Location, 

as you 

can see Bob 

is having a great time with 

the girls. Adam and Jessica 

were serving Bob’s famous 

BAHAMARITAS. And on the 

other side of the world; the

Bahama Bob’s in Pooler held another contest 

for I-95 Rock with On-Air talents Caveman 

and Billy Richter running the show, and they 

asked me to be a judge (I hate my job)! All 

these girls are vying for a chance to make the 

2007 Rock Babe Calendar. If you have not 

been to the Bahama Bob’s 

in Pooler you should 

definitely swing by and 

check it out (even 

though you have to take 

a cab, a plane and two 

trains to get there). It is 

nice and quite a different 

setup from the Tybee location, and Bob even 

has his own big red leather chair right in the

middle of the restaurant (it’s good to be king)! 

Liquid Ginger frequently plays out there, so 

check out their web site at: 

www.liquidginger.com. 

Hatman had his “39 th ” 

birthday on Fannie’s 

deck with many in 

attendance. 

Hatman had to 

actually work most 

of his ‘surprise’ 

party until The 

Mixed Nuts took 

over so that he could 

eat some cake. Do John 

and Chicago Bob have on the same shirt? Rob 

was line dancing with his mom and all the ladies. 

Tides For Tybee Light 

Retired Chicago Bear corner back Donnell 

Woolford was there and he signed autographs 

for Jenny and her 

customers. Chicago

him and the two 

reminisced. Mallory

watching. I have a 

question for Mallory 

– is it okay to kill a 

squawking bird at 

6:30am? (Because 

BobbyLou said it 

was OK)! 

The newest BBQ 

place on Tybee, 

Keith’s BBQ, fits 

in well with the 

uniqueness of the 

island. John Knopf 

elaborates that “Local 

barbecue business brings spice to Tybee Island. 

Keith Smith, a Tybee native, has found the 

perfect balance of speed, quantity and quality 

to his island barbeque at an affordable price, 

with friendly service, and virtually no delay. 

Keith delivers his finely honed recipes through 

traditional southern cooking. His patient 

smoking technique and secret seasoning 

produces some of the finest barbeque in the 

greater savannah area (and he would know he is 

from UGA in Athens where they are known for 

their BBQ) serving spare ribs, smoked chicken 

and pulled pork. Keith’s menu also boasts a long 

list of homemade sides such as baked beans, 

Cole slaw, corn on the cob, potato salad, and 

perhaps the most impressive is his Mama’s 

Brunswick stew, a recipe that his family has 

fine-tuned to perfection and made for over 40 

years! Keith’s Island Barbecue is opened seven 

days a week: Mon.-Thur. 11am-9pm, Fri. & Sat. 

11am-10pm, and Sun. 11am-8pm, with free 

delivery offered on the island throughout 

business hours. Keith’s Island Barbeque is 

proud to be one of the most sanitary dining 

establishments on the Island, holding a perfect 

100 on their health inspection score!” 

The coo of the year! A surprise birthday 

party was actually pulled off with out the 

person knowing about it! 

Claire Price had a 

surprise party at the 

Quarter with tons of 

people stopping in 

throughout the night to 

wish her a happy birthday! 

Bonnie was bartending, 

Shell and Nancy were 

hanging out, and look there is a usual sight, is 

that Erika on the opposite side of the bar? It 

was such a great night; don’t 

even ask her about the 

costume! 

To answer Samantha 

Claar’s Question - the 

pending nuptials between 

Myrtle Chu and Bert Solomon will be in the fall!

Hello everyone, 

Another month has passed 

and by the time this hits the 

news stands I will have 8 

months left. Time sure has been going by fast! 

This past month, temperatures have starting 

getting into the 120’s, and dust/sand storms 

appear daily now. There have been days that I 

couldn’t see 20 feet in front of me at 12 noon, with 

scorpions trying to crawl up my pant leg. 

Ask Sarge, he’ll tell ya. 

He’ll probably call me a “wimp” for 

complaining about it! Well 

enough of that, on to this past 

month’s happenings. 

I recently received a text 

message on my cell phone from an 

unknown number inviting me to an 

invitation only party at the American 

Embassy on July 4th. Since I was scheduled to 

have the day off, and have never turned down an 

invitation to a party, I figured there would be no 

harm in responding to the text. Several minutes 

later, I was called by an aide advising me that I had 

been placed on the party list. I thought to myself, 

was there another Rich Wolfer working in Kuwait 

that had a real important job? Did they confuse me 

with this guy? I didn’t argue, and asked her if I 

could take a couple of friends, to which she said, 

“Yes.” While en route to the Embassy in the taxi, I 

informed my driver (Abdullah), that I had been 

invited to a party at the Embassy. The first words 

out of his mouth were, “Mr. Richard you will be 

drinking alcohol?” as he smiled. I couldn’t believe 

my ears! I started to sweat! Was he correct? I 

hadn’t tasted an ice cold Budweiser in three 

months. I hoped he was right! Abdullah then 

reminded me that the American Embassy, 

although in Kuwait, was considered to be 

American soil. Abdullah sure was right. Needless 

to say we had a pretty good time, and as always, 

after a few, I was able to force myself onto the 

Karaoke stage! (Ed Burnsed and Marty would 

have been proud)! I guess you could say that I 

was a pretty big hit at the embassy that day, and 

just for the record, beware; I have some new 

material for when I get back!! 

On another note, I’ve made several 

good friends since I have been here who have 

made my time more enjoyable. A retired Kuwaiti 

Air Force Chief, Ahmed Habib, my Shri Lanken taxi 

driver, Abdullah, and several others. But the best 

and closest friends that I have made since I have 

arrived are all former police officers from Kansas 

City, MO., Birmingham, AL., and Billings, MT. We 

all have come here for different reasons, some for 

financial, some overcoming personal hardship, 

and some to support our U.S. Military in the Middle 

East. I guess you could say I came for all three! 

We all have bonded and supported each other, just 

like my former compadres at T.I.P.D. did. I sure do 

miss “the guys and gals” from the dept., and my 

friends that I made on the island, in my three 

years there. I hope that everyone remains 

safe and has a great summer. Till next 

month. 

Miss Y’all, 

Rich

TIMSC Sea 

Turtle 

Project 

Coordinator 

Tybee Island, along with the entire Georgia coast, is 

having a record year for sea turtle nesting. The 

Georgia Department of Natural Resources (DNR) 

has been monitoring the number of nests on Tybee 

since 1989. The average over the past 16 years is 

5 loggerhead nests per season. As of July 21, 

Tybee has 8 nests! This will be the fourth year on 

record that Tybee has had 8 or more nests. It is 

possible that we will have even more by the time 

nesting ends in August. 

After reviewing the number of nests at the 

end of June, Mark Dodd, Sea Turtle Coordinator for 

the Georgia DNR, is expecting a record year for the 

entire Georgia coast. With a total of 837 nests half 

way through the season, DNR is predicting a total 

between 1,400-1,500 nests in 2006, significantly 

higher than the 17-year average of 1,002 nests. 

The following table shows how many nests each 

island had at the end of June. 

Island Loggerhead Nests: 

Tybee 6, Little Tybee 4, Wassaw 78, Ossabaw 115, 

St. Catherines 66, Blackbeard 143, Sapelo 40, 

L. St. Simons 39, Sea 46, St. Simons 0, Jekyll 97, 

L. Cumberland 16, Cumberland 187, Total 837 

Tybee’s first nest hatched on June 17 

around 11:30 pm. Two of our sea turtle volunteers, 

Cricket Hulsey and Ed Walton were diligently 

watching over the nest when an estimated 106 

hatchlings emerged. They described the event as 

the perfect scenario for the turtles to hatch: the tide 

was high, lights were out, and the moon had just 

risen over the horizon lighting the way for the turtles 

to find the ocean. Good job Tybee on keeping the 

lights out for sea turtles! 

With 8 or more nests on Tybee, we could 

have over 800 hatchlings this year. I challenge 

Tybee residents and visitors to adopt and name 

each and every one of our loggerhead hatchlings. 

You may use the form below or stop by the Marine 

Science Center any time during our normal 

business hours: Wednesday through Monday 9 am 

to 5 pm or Tuesdays 9 am until noon. Information is 

also available online www.tybeemsc.org or call

Tybee Remembers 

Blake Heichelbech 

I lost my son on May 

30 th , 2006. Blake was 

18 years old. I thank 

you Tybee for your love, compassion and 

strength from that day until the present. 

As Isaiah wrote in 40:6, we are merely grass, 

and we last no longer than wildflowers. 

I am so proud of my son. He was the 

most loving person I have ever met. He worked 

so hard in college and at his job. He had such 

strong plans for his future. God took him early and I 

eternally thank Him for the gift of having Blake as my 

son. 

You were there for me when I needed 

strength. It continues to be an overwhelming 

experience to accept so much kindness and be the 

recipient of so much heart-warming love. You have 

touched my heart and I feel so blessed to have you 

all in my life. 

Many of you remember Blake as a 

young teenager playing chess at the laundry mat. 

Or, you saw him volunteering at the 

Marine Science Center. It was Blake for sure eating 

pizza with his musician friends at Huc-A-Poos. He 

had been in college for the last 2 years at North 

Central State College, (COLLEGE NOW- 

Engineering Program) and at Ohio State University. 

Friends and islanders took care of all of 

the funeral arrangements. It was the most beautiful 

vigil service and funeral that I have ever known. 

Father Jim Costigan of St. Michael’s is a true man of 

God. He touched every person there, especially 

me. Youth Pastor Joe Strange reached out to the 

teenagers and young adults. 

Everyone made sure that it was the 

perfect final resting for Blake. His flowers were 

arranged with bold tye-dyed colors featuring daisies 

for innocence and butterflies for angels. His clothes 

were bought with his favorite music band logo. His 

rosary was placed in his hand. A friend even made 

him a hippie necklace to wear. There were donated 

guitar picks and an old Donovan album. Some of 

Blake’s favorite music was played in the 

background. In a fitting touch, the funeral directors 

placed his guitar in his casket. 

I thank you Tybee for providing the 

Pavilion behind the YMCA for BLAKE’S 

GATHERING after the funeral. The generous food, 

flowers, gifts, the beautiful picture collages, the 

signing of Blake’s guitar case, all, to me were so 

precious. I am sure that Blake was looking down 

from heaven, smiling. 

Special thanks to KURTIS SCHUMM 

and his brother, Kody, for coming to BLAKE’S 

GATHERING to play music and honor my son by 

performing for his audience of loved ones. 

Previously, Kurtis had plans to meet with Blake to 

play guitar. Since that did not happen, Kurtis and his 

family came to the GATHERING. That was such 

an amazing gift and I will always be grateful. 

Tybee cares. Bless you. Bless all of you 

that cared for me in June and since then. 

Everyday, you hold my hand, hug me or 

smile. Tybee provides me with work and gives me 

a wonderful place to live my life. 

Thank you, Tybee. 

God Bless You.

Heat Stress 

Heat Stress is likely to affect people 

everywhere during our hot summer months. 

Although beautiful Tybee Island has its wonderful 

ocean breezes and we are so lucky to be here, we 

are in the hot zone and the effects of the heat can 

lead to life-threatening illnesses such as heat 

stroke. Heat stress can be caused not only by 

temperature but also humidity, air movement, 

clothing and physical activity. High temperatures 

cause increased blood flow to the skin, which allows 

release of heat. Blood is diverted to the muscles 

during physical activity, resulting in a lower release 

of heat through the skin. Heat stress causes 

increased sweating, and depleting the body’s fluids. 

Other signs of heat stress include tiredness, 

irritability, inattention and muscular cramps. 

People who are medically unfit, on certain 

medications, are overweight, suffer from heart 

disease or abuse alcohol are at a greater risk for 

heat stress. Some are less heat tolerant than 

others. 

You can avoid heat stress by reducing fluid 

loss (drink more water, juices, and non-alcoholic 

drinks). Drinking 6-8 oz. of water at frequent 

intervals will be enough to reduce fluid loss in 

sweating. Have rest pauses in a cool place. 

Maintain a healthy lifestyle. Use sunscreens 

liberally. Wear light colored protective clothing. If 

you suspect heat stress, rest in the coolest place 

available, drink cool but not cold fluids and contact a 

doctor if you don’t improve rapidly. 

Salt tablets are not recommended. Usually 

sufficient salt is absorbed from food. However, in 

cases of extreme sweating, extra salt may be added 

to food. 

There are 

different degrees of 

heat stress leading 

up to heat stroke, 

which can be fatal. 

My 45 year old 

brother almost died 

after suffering a 

heat stroke from 

running in August of last year during the final phase 

of his preparation for a black belt in kick boxing. His 

body temperature reached 108 degrees and he was 

in a coma. He miraculously recovered and admitted 

to me that he was so anxious to complete his run 

that he forgot to drink enough liquids. Heat stroke 

is, thankfully, less common than heat stress. A 

person will stop sweating, body temps will be high, 

skin will be hot and dry and confusion and loss of 

consciousness may occur. 

The person should be treated by a doctor 

until medical help is available, cool the. person down 

as quickly as possible, such as by soaking the 

victim’s clothing in cold water, giving cool fluids if the 

person is conscious, and increasing air movement 

by fanning.

A view from the porch of the Lighthouse Inn – Yes there is life on 

the North end of the Island and we will try to let everyone know 

what is happening with this end of the island from “the porch” 

and from our wonderful guests. 

Big June... Wow – the island was packed in June 

and we were too. We, like everyone else in the 

hospitality business, were at maximum occupancy. 

Each year it appears that more people are 

discovering Tybee and all it has to offer. 

Harley Bride... Leo and Kevvi arrived on their 

Harley from Atlanta after an extended road-trip 

through Florida. They were married the next day at 

sunrise on the beach. They were wonderful and 

enjoyed the island and the beach for their entire 

stay. 

Email from Canada... Adam Freeman, Program 

Director for Star96 FM, Ontario, Canada, sent us a 

message that he was sorry about the death of our 

friend Kitty. He was a guest here and had met her 

on “the porch” two years ago and has subscribed to 

“The Breeze” since then to keep up with what was 

happening on Tybee. He will be back this year for 

his Tybee-fix. 

Comments: 

Where do we start? We enjoyed ourselves 

immensely. I believe there is a reason why we 

ended up on Tybee Island and the Lighthouse Inn. 

We felt like it was our home away from home and 

exactly what the doctor ordered. We enjoyed our 

afternoons on “the porch” and meeting the locals 

like Mayor Jason, his wife Jody and Maria Rose, 

Suni and John Weathers and of course hearing 

Stuart greet all the people passing with “afternoon.” 

These made our trip unforgettable. Leaving our 

stressful moments back in Chicago, I will think 

back to our restful and relaxing days on Tybee. We 

learned about Susie’s accomplishments with 

FOTT (Friends of the Tybee Theater) and learned of 

a new organization, of which we are members – 

“LGE” – Longest Guests Ever. We hope we didn’t 

overstay our welcome. Thanks for your hospitality 

and we feel you are part of our extended family. 

We truly will miss you both, the cats, Boomer and 

The Biscuits. 

Love, Ellian and Ilya, 

Glenview, IL (Formerly U.S.S.R) 

It is with deep regret that we return our keys to the 

Lighthouse Inn. You have mastered the art of 

turning a short contact into a feeling of warmth and 

friendship. We could not have chosen a more 

perfect setting for our wedding than that provided 

by the comfort of your inn and the tranquility of 

Tybee Island. Great companionship – Great food – 

Great house. 

Thank you, 

Leo and Kevvi, Atlanta, GA 

I have been coming to Tybee all of my life. 

Tybee itself is a treasure, but your Bed & Breakfast 

has given me a new set of memories to treasure. It 

was wonderful. Thank you for sharing your 

delicious breakfasts and super comfortable beds. 

Ken and Robin, 

Greenwood, SC 

We have also become members of the 

“LGE” club. As you can probably tell we absolutely 

loved our stay. Thank you very much for the lovely 

breakfasts, the wine on “the porch”, the (many) 

beers, but most of all your warmth and hospitality. 

Kys og kram (Kisses and hugs), 

Anders & Pernille, Copenhagen, Denmark

By Bob Markwalter 

“Are we there yet?” 

“Moron.” 

“Clarissa!” 

“Everybody shut 

up.” 

The Mortons were on the 

road to Florida. They were in South Georgia 

several miles north of an overturned tractortrailer 

that had turned the Interstate into a 

parking lot. Billy, a first grader, was looking 

forward to meeting Mickey Mouse. Clarissa, 

his 15-year-old sister, was mortified at the 

thought of being seen with Mickey and made 

no secret of her eagerness to reach Cocoa 

Beach, where young males rode surfboards. 

Their mother, Connie, regretted having 

given birth. She had spent most of the trip 

reminding Clarissa to talk nicely to her brother 

and telling little Billy no, they were not there 

yet. 

Jim Morton had watched the 

temperature gauge in the car’s dashboard inch 

up ever steadily with each passing mile, as did 

his credit card debt. He alternated these 

pursuits with telling everyone to shut up. 


“Moron.” 


“Everybody shut up.” 

Clarissa reminded her parents often 

that they had not taken her to see Minnie when 

she was Billy’s age. Connie smiled wistfully 

when she remembered Clarissa at Billy’s age. 

She had been such a sweet little girl, always 

hugging and kissing. Connie paled, banished 

the thought of the hugging and kissing her 

daughter might be doing now, and looked 

down the Interstate through the waves of hot 

air above the car tops. 

Billy smiled at Clarissa, who stuck out 

her tongue. Jim saw this in the rear view mirror, 

ignored it, and turned the car key to check the 

temperature gauge. It had not gone down, even 

though the engine had been off for nearly an 

hour. 


“Moron.” 


“Everybody shut 

up.” 

The sun beat 

down. His last answer 

to the question, “Why 

can’t we have the air 

conditioner on? 

Everybody else does,” 

had put a stop to the 

question. He would not 

really have done that to 

anyone, let alone to one of his own 

children…then again. 

Connie knew he would not 

have done it, but she admitted to 

herself that she had considered it. 

Billy could be persistent and 

Clarissa…difficult. Difficult was a 

good word for a 15-year-old girl. It 

saved you thinking of the nastier ways 

to describe things. When had she turned on 

them? It was early, by the time she was 11, 

maybe even 10. 

Clarissa hated her parents. They should 

not have been surprised at this turn of events, 

because Clarissa hated nearly everything not 

connected with boys, fashion, and giggling. 

She had perfected the eye roll and hair flip, had 

her drive-Daddy-crazy hip wiggle nearly in top 

form, and put a cell phone to her ear when her 

parents entered a room whether she was 

actually talking to someone or not. 

Billy was eager to see Mickey. He was 

especially eager to see Mickey’s fingers 

because they were so big. He was going to ask 

Mickey about them. And now this. Mom had 

said someone in a big truck had an accident. It 

never took that long to clean up Billy’s

accidents, except for the time he had put the 

cat in the microwave. They still had not 

replaced Fluffy and he was beginning to think 

they might not, or not until he was older. 


“Moron.” 


“Everybody shut up.” 

Jim closed his eyes and imagined 

Cocoa Beach. Beautiful girls were sunning 

themselves and he was watching them 

from under the brim of his big hat. One of 

the girls got up and walked over to him. 

Jim’s eyes snapped open. He glanced 

at Connie, who was staring at the traffic. 

Jim closed his eyes. The beautiful girls 

were gone. They had been replaced by several 

boys, about 18 years old, carrying surfboards. 

The boys were talking to a girl who wore an 

exceptionally revealing bikini. She 

occasionally wiggled her hips in a familiar … 

Jim looked into the rear view mirror. 

Clarissa was sticking out her 

tongue. Had she frozen in that 

pose? His reminders that she 

might always brought a worldclass 

eye roll. 

Traffic began to inch 

forward. Jim decided the 

radiator was out of his hands, 

started the car, said a silent 

prayer, and began to move. He 

smiled and said, “Let’s do it 

backwards. Everybody shut 

up.” 

Connie laughed and 

said, “Clarissa!” 

Never one to pass a 

real opportunity, Clarissa said, 

“Moron.” 

They waited, but Billy 

was silent. Connie looked to 

find that he was asleep. He 

was so precious like that. 

Jim glanced over his 

shoulder. Traffic halted. Jim did 

not. 

The air bags did not deploy but the 

radiator gave up and gushed steam that 

billowed from under the hood. Horns honked. 

Drivers inched by, detailing Jim’s ancestry. 

Connie sobbed. In the mirror, Jim saw an eye 

roll that topped anything to date.

Starfish Scopes 

AUGUST 

2006 

Leo (July 23 - August 22) 

The way you feel this month is not necessary 

limited to what you eat and drink. You may also 

want to go for walks and conduct yourself 

properly at the table. 

Virgo (August 23 - September 22) 

Prepare yourself because your life is set for 

the biggest change you’ve seen in a long time. 

Your love life is ready to flourish, and all 

because you bought that wonderful hat the 

other day. 

Libra (September 23 - October 22) 

Ignoring your personal hygiene is a forfeit that 

you really shouldn’t have made. Did you 

happen to see a film called “Creepy Creatures 

of The Night”? It wasn’t a good film. This month 

is your own personal “Creepy Creatures of 

The Night”. Oil and water are to you what Fish 

and Gin are to a drunken fisherman. 

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) 

Paper can cut, and words can hurt. Which is 

why you should burn any mail that comes 

through the letterbox - preferably whilst still in 

the postman/woman’s hands. Chocolate 

desserts are your friend this month. The 

legend of the baked bean may trouble you as 

last night’s meal tries to catch up with last 

week’s. 

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) 

Everything you feel about yourself will be 

confirmed this month as you’re put through the 

mill and emerge victorious. You’re single. So 

what are you doing reading this when you 

could be out there having fun? Go let your hair 

down. 


Capricorn (December 22 - January 20) 

You need to stop accepting responsibility for 

your own life. Everything is actually the fault of 

that darned liberal media, you know. You’d be 

nearly perfect, or at least much thinner, if it 

wasn’t for them. 

Aquarius (January 21 - February 18) 

“Headlice!” is not something to be screamed in 

terror at the local bus stop. Your bed is made, 

lie in it. Fall asleep for a while. Spoon the 

pillows. Yes, that’s it. Relax. 

Pisces (February 19 - March 20) 

Time to look for a new job. You should be able 

to find work as a surgical assistant. And stop 

worrying so much! Everyone else lies about 

their background, too. 

Aries (March 21 - April 19) 

Someone you don’t like will make repeated 

attempts to talk to you this month. The best way 

to handle this is to stuff extremely crunchy food 

in your mouth during each attempt, and then 

mumble “What?” while looking at something 

slightly over their left shoulder. 

Taurus (April 20 - May 20) 

I would estimate that at least 50% of your 

efforts this month will go, not only unrewarded, 

but also unnoticed. Life is like that this month 

and just when you start to get used to it you’ll 

suddenly receive a big pick-me-up. 

Gemini (May 21 - June 20) 

You are finally ready to face the world as 

yourself this month, so don’t be afraid of 

anything. Be wary of emails claiming to be from 

PayPal or eBay - they are almost certainly your 

“most like a junky” friends trying to get a rise out 

of you. 

Cancer (June 21 - July 22) 

Love is a wonderful thing that can truly change 

your life for the better. However, the chances of 

this happening to you anytime soon are so 

remote that you might as well quit pretending 

that you’re well liked, go home and eat icecream 

until your brain freezes.
