“This is the eightieth anniversary of the end of World War 2 . . . I'm 91,” Miss Hines said as she opened her presentation and described her early childhood in Salzburg and how life changed after the Anschluss in 1938. She walked attendees through photographs and family films, noting scenes of Hermann Göring and the arrival of German forces in her city.

Hines described life under wartime conditions: air-raid shelters carved into nearby mountains, rationing, instances of bombing that damaged Salzburg’s cathedral and the old town, and the experience of surrender in early May 1945. She also described how her father served during the war and returned years later, and how she later worked at the American consulate before marrying and moving to the United States.

She told the council her family’s 9½-millimeter films were digitized after the University of South Carolina identified a transfer option; the films had been stored for decades. “I was very lucky to get these movies transferred,” she said, describing scenes she had not viewed in many years.

Hines closed by recounting postwar life, including the American occupation of parts of Austria, her subsequent time in England, and her eventual settlement in Charleston and on James Island in the 1950s. She said she has returned to Austria multiple times and described family history including her father’s later illness.

The presentation functioned as a historical reminiscence for the meeting; no council actions resulted from the talk. Several audience members and council leaders thanked Hines for sharing her photographs and films.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","James Island - Neighborhood Council - Jun 26, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","A guest speaker shared a personal account of growing up in Salzburg during the Nazi annexation and World War II, showed home movies from 1938 and described postwar resettlement and immigration to the United States.","taxTitle","James Island, Charleston County, South Carolina","taxId",70277,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6657207,"James Island neighborhood council approves weekly bridal study at Pinkney Park; discusses vac truck procurement and condemnation lawsuit",57,198000,255000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5085931-603cd4a1db793de191f68bc26a7f4205&start=198&end=255","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5085931-603cd4a1db793de191f68bc26a7f4205/thumbnail_198000.jpg","/articles/6657207/James-Island/Charleston-County/South-Carolina/James-Island-neighborhood-council-approves-weekly-bridal-study-at-Pinkney-Park-discusses-vac-truck-procurement-and-condemnation-lawsuit","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6657207-a82db10a88e4399883e4c48347d39ab8/orig.mp4?Expires=1770448665&Signature=F3rM5An86kffBvuRtPiRzyjvil8zSDD893GfxXLHTsbESGfeee5EYY8TROqhRntx1qbOuzDmAPg2O~sqtx9DnJAo3Mq~KgiZJoBL8aXmWC89--zfMVOlRmDnp1Jlz8vJ8hsy8BpGunH12juwOB4w~wxRlqYHvd0fdNm3RR2Y-ErJZu3jWXll2C~tlL1OLRrJG98GSJFx6aBQ4ADJFkmiI~dmQjJX9sPCAYbAiRgNiN5pIS7U08FSFzdE75g9O4tLlTriZ5ysCGfRalLaPjF2bnXwO2wMul1-5yNjASLaFJ1MhYIJyWiP31R5OoaYMfMIqlnhud9oKBXamSf6iCyO6g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At a James Island Neighborhood Council meeting, members voted 4-0 to open Pinkney Park for a weekly bridal study and heard updates on public safety and public-works equipment trials, council co-chair Bill Lyon said during the meeting update.

The vote to open Pinkney Park for a weekly bridal study was unanimous, and council members also approved three new appointments to the neighborhood council: Maggie Little, Sandrin Camparo and Wendy Teal. Dan Boles, who gave the town-council update, said the three were “unanimously appointed.”

The meeting included a patrol update from the Island Sheriff’s Patrol. “They've been chasing a lot of dirt bikes around lately,” Sean James told the council, describing off-road vehicles moving between neighborhoods and easements.

Public-works staff demonstrated a vacuum truck on the island and told the council a company would return with a smaller model that staff said would not require a commercial driver’s license to operate. Council members reported the town is “shopping and looking at procuring our own vac truck” for stormwater-related work; no procurement motion or vote was recorded at the meeting.

Boles said the council met in executive session to discuss an ongoing legal matter: the town is being sued over the condemned Dills Bluff property behind the Dollar General store. “We met in executive session to discuss the town being sued, you know, with the Dills Bluff property that we condemned,” he said. No further public action or vote related to the lawsuit was reported during the meeting.

Lyon and others noted a flagpole display on Folly Road, built with longtime volunteer effort by Troy, and said a commemoration for that display took place the same day. The council also reviewed financial reports and recorded no particular issues.

Dan Boles encouraged residents to attend town-council meetings and public comment periods. “I really wish more people would come and talk to us in the beginning,” he said, noting public comment at recent meetings had been limited.

No motions beyond the Pinkney Park approval and the appointments were recorded in the meeting transcript, and no motions listed a mover or seconder by name in the publicly available update.

Votes at a glance: Pinkney Park — approved 4-0 to permit a weekly bridal study; Appointments — Maggie Little, Sandrin Camparo and Wendy Teal — unanimously appointed.

The council did not set a date for any final procurement vote on the vac truck during the portion of the meeting covered in the update.","At a neighborhood council meeting, members voted 4-0 to allow a weekly bridal study at Pinkney Park, heard updates on patrols and public-works equipment trials, unanimously appointed three new members and discussed an ongoing lawsuit over the condemned Dills Bluff property.","actionData","errors"]
