Today's riddle: What is the 1 way to guarantee winning a small fortune at the casino? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• First of the first responders: Shoring up public safety on the island (isleofpalmsmagazine.com) — Isle of Palms residents get a rich look at how their police and fire departments grew from a one-man force and volunteer firefighters into today's 22 officers and 40 trained fire personnel. The story traces key milestones from the 1950s through Hurricane Hugo recovery and modern EMS advances, highlighting how local first responders have long shaped safety and quality of life on the island.
• Sea Turtles: Protecting one of IOP's precious treasures (isleofpalmsmagazine.com) — As Isle of Palms' massive beach renourishment continues, volunteers and construction crews are working together to safeguard 42 local sea turtle nests and additional nests on Sullivan's Island. Careful nest relocation, strict rules for lights and machinery, and daily dawn patrols are helping hatchlings reach the ocean safely, supporting a long-term rebound in the island's turtle population.
• Meet Your Island Neighbors: Al and Wallis Cannon (isleofpalmsmagazine.com) — Longtime Isle of Palms residents Al and Wallis Cannon are profiled for their decades of public service, from Al's 33 years as Charleston County sheriff to Wallis's work in healthcare. Their story highlights how experiences from Hurricane Hugo to 9/11 shaped regional emergency preparedness, while the family's ongoing law enforcement and chaplaincy efforts continue to influence Lowcountry communities today.
