- Photo: South Forest Beach homeowner Carl Joyner has been unable to get his wheelchair down the beach access path behind his house since the Forest Beach Owners Association removed the carpet remnants that once covered it. He is one of several area residents to object to the carpet removal from this and several other paths in the neighborhood. Joyner says that in addition to being a cheap way to make it possible for him to get to the beach, the carpet remnants actually help preserve and build up the dunes.
