New location announced for Daniel Island’s first Catholic parish
Jennifer Johnston
[email protected]
Home is where the heart is, and the blossoming congregation of Daniel Island’s
Saint Clare of Assisi have formed a church
home with lots of heart, despite not having a
dedicated place of worship. From mass in the
Bishop England High School Performing Arts
Center to vigils in Smythe Park, the parish’s
community has been a true example of that
old adage. Setting on a location for the new
church has changed several times, with a new
location announced recently – the six-acre
site, owned by the Diocese, at the corner of
Seven Farms Drive and Etiwan Park Drive
(current lacrosse practice field).
Saint Clare of Assisi was established in
April 2014, and it was always the intention to
build a brand new brick-and-mortar church
on Daniel Island. But believing intently that
“a church is a people, not a building,” the parish’s leader, Father Gregory West, was willing
to allow that search to proceed in an unhurried, thoughtful fashion. Still, as the church
found it’s footing on the island and grew exponentially in short order, a capital fund was
established and the search for land was on.
For nearly a year, the Catholic Diocese of
Charleston and the Daniel Island Company
attempted to settle on a purchase price for
a parcel of land located near the island’s
I-526 interchange. When it became clear
that an agreement would not be reached, the
Diocese began to consider locating the new
church closer to Bishop England High School
(BEHS). Such an arrangement would allow
sharing of facilities: Bishop England could
utilize the church for worship and various
celebrations, and the parish would have access
to the school’s facilities for education, performances, and other events.
In June 2015, the Diocese announced that
it had given the nod to place Saint Clare of
Assisi right on Bishop England’s campus, targeting the land where the school’s track sits.
As questions regarding parking, traffic flow,
and the displacement of the track program
arose, both Father West and Bishop England
Principal Patrick Finneran assured the community that an optimal configuration would be
established to accommodate zoning and safety
Provided
and retain all school athletics. But, ultimately,
The first conceptual plan of Saint Clare of Assisi’s church campus at the corner of Etiwan Park
a congruence of vision between the school and
and Seven Farms Drives. States Father Gregory West, “It will evolve and change in the months
the parish for these future athletic facilities
to come as our parish membership holds town hall meetings and focus groups to consider and
See PARISH on PAGE 07 rework the design.”

TEN YEARS AGO
City goes Wi-Fi? Will Daniel Island be next?
In the February 23, 2006 issue we
featured the City’s Wi-Fi network and
its future expansion to Daniel Island.
The open access wireless fidel¬ity,
or Wi-Fi, system was reportedly the
first network of its kind in the nation
and began in down¬town Charleston
with expansion across the city in the
works. Surely a sign of the times, the
article featured a Blackberry device
and mentioned using the system from
your PDA.
The National Audubon Society
reported that they were still interested
in and planning on establishing a
wildlife oasis on Daniel Island as a
long-held dream. At the time, Audubon South Carolina State Director
Norman Brunswig said his organization discussed buy¬ing or leasing
approximately 200 acres of State
Ports Authority land on Daniel Island.
Brunswig said that Audubon South
Carolina worked with the late Dr.
George Brumley, Jr., on a study to
determine a possible site for a preserve
and wildlife center when Daniel
Island’s residential community was
being planned. Brumley, an Atlanta
pediatrician and philanthropist, was
a major investor in The Daniel Island
Company and a strong proponent of an
Audubon site. He died in a plane crash
in Kenya in 2003. Brunswig said that
circumstances have changed since that
original study was created. The sale or
lease to the Audubon Society has not
happened.
In other news, island residents and
the United Methodist Relief Center
were working to build an Elderly
Transport (ET) house (shotgun-style
cot¬tage built on a mobile-home
frame) for a family in the Clements
Ferry Road corridor. Because the
people live in ETs rent-free and UMRC
retains ownership, the buildings can be
moved and reused after residents die or
move to different housing. Daniel Island residents Barbara and Walk Jenner
were spearheading the ET fundraising
effort. Their enthusiastic 11-member
group was named Cainhoy Community
Cottages.
In other news, Providence Baptist Church celebrated 10 years as a
congregation, having started in West
Ashley in 1996. The church moved to
Daniel Island in 2000.
FIVE YEARS AGO
DINA elects new leaders –
two founding officers step up again
In the February 24, 2011 issue of
The Daniel Island News, the top news
story was the election of new officers
to the Daniel Island Neighborhood
Association. Mac McBride and Al
Vitalo, founding officers in 1998, took
on the roles of president and treasurer.
In business news, SPARC, a
software development and systems
integration company that applies
commercial product development
techniques and experience to the
federal and defense sectors, relocated their corporate office to 2387
Clements Ferry Road. Over the past
five years, they have continued to
grow and expand their Clements
Ferry Road site.
In sporting news, the Daniel Island
School Jr. Boys Ospreys won the
Trident League Division III Championship.
In school news, four Berkeley
County School District counseling
programs were recognized as national
models for success. Programs at College Park Elementary, Daniel Island
School, Hanahan High, and Hanahan
Elementary were “Recognized ASCA
Model Programs,” (RAMP) by the
American School Counselor Association (ASCA). This is the highest team
recognition in the school counseling
profession.

supper was

Anderson Dreyer, Christian Greavu, Laurence Harris, Ashton Lawrence, Alex

New location chosen for Saint Clare of Assisi
island news 07
From PARISH on PAGE 02
could not be achieved.
So in the last month, a new plan has been
communicated to parish members, and that
is to build atop a six-acre site, owned by the
Diocese, at the corner of Seven Farms Drive
and Etiwan Park Drive. The parcel, a portion
of the ten acres purchased by the Diocese two
decades ago (the other four acres were donated by the Diocese to the City of Charleston for
the construction of housing at Seven Farms
and Daniel Island Drives) has been utilized as
a practice field for BEHS athletics.
Though the site is smaller than the locations
previously considered, church leaders believe
it is sufficient to accommodate Saint Clare of
Assisi’s needs and it has received the endorsement of the Bishop Robert E. Guglielmone.
“The good news with this decision is that
we can move ahead more quickly and at a
lower cost because we won’t be upgrading
the sports facilities,” Father West stated in an
open letter on the parish’s website.
The Diocese will be looking for parishioner
input at upcoming “town hall meetings” on
the design and configuration of the campus,
which is to include a church, a parish center
with offices and meetings space, a narthex
connecting those two main buildings, a columbarium/internment facility, and an outdoor
pavilion. Dedicated parking will be created as
well, and Father West reports that the City of
Charleston has indicated the church will be
permitted to use BEHS parking lots toward its
occupancy requirements since both entities are
owned by the Diocese.
Construction will commence when a
minimum of 50% of the funds needed are in
the bank; the balance of project costs will be
funded through a Diocese-negotiated bank
loan. The total project cost depends on the
exact architecture, design, and materials
approved by the parish, the Diocese, and the
City of Charleston. An estimate for the church
alone currently sits at $10 million.
To date, Saint Clare of Assisi has about
$720,000 in its Building Fund. A capital
campaign, to obtain both immediate donations
and pledges up to five years, will commence
this spring.
Father West suggests that the new facilities
would serve not only the parish, but all of its
home island and surrounding area. “While no
means definite, it could happen that the church
would become a venue for concerts, possibly
during the Spoleto Festival,” he states. “We
are confident that our parish facilities will
greatly enhance the quality of life for the entire Daniel Island community and beyond.”

More than 50 residents of the Cainhoy Peninsula took part in a parks and recreation input gathering session last week at Cainhoy Elementary Middle School. The program, hosted by the City
of Charleston and SGA Architecture, is part of a need assessment process initiated last year to
develop a road map for future recreational opportunities in the area.
Basic needs listed
among priorities
ELIZABETH BUSH
[email protected]
More than 50 Cainhoy Peninsula residents
took part in a special parks and recreation
input gathering session on February 18 hosted
by the City of Charleston and SGA Architecture. The public program, designed to assess
the community’s top needs, was held at Cainhoy Elementary/Middle School in Huger.
“We had a great turnout and a great response,” said Natasha Sexton, a principal with
SGA Architecture. “It just went really well
and was very well received.”
Many of the residents who attended cited
the need for an indoor community recreation center as a top priority, added Sexton.
Participants were asked to write down their
recreational needs, both as individuals and as
families, and to inform the city of any barriers
they may have in seeing those needs met. Using color coded stars signifying specific parks
and recreational opportunities, residents were
asked to indicate on a large map the places
where they would like to see those services
offered.
“Most of the people who attended were
from the Cainhoy area, and not Daniel
Island,” said Sexton. “There was an overwhelming need for recreation in general,
and big support for a community center and
indoor recreation.”
According to City of Charleston Councilman Gary White, who also attended the session, citizens pointed to a need for access to
water, walking trails, and playgrounds. Presently, there are no City of Charleston parks
on the Cainhoy Peninsula, other than those on
Daniel Island.
“In Cainhoy, it’s really just addressing the
basic needs of parks and recreation,” added
White. “The most interesting point of the
evening was that they laid out the things in
the area that everyone has access to. There
was stuff on Daniel Island, and then when we
came to Cainhoy, there was one park currently
owned by a non-profit, a playground, and
nothing else. It just really points to the fact
that there is a big need in that area.”
Sexton noted that their assessment also
included a large chunk of Berkeley County
that lies outside the city limits, because the
city was interested in capturing those voices
as well.
“Our subject area crosses the city lines,”
she added. “It is a contiguous community…
The recommendation was that Berkeley
County get involved. There is a legitimate
need on the county side as well. It shouldn’t
be just a City of Charleston issue. There
should be some collaboration between the
two. There are some citizens that are definitely underserved.”
Sexton and her team plan to have a draft of
their report to the city in two to three weeks.
They will also include responses from more
than 700 surveys conducted online as part of
the process, said White. A final document
will be produced within the next one to two
months, followed by a report to the public on
their findings and recommendations. The city
conducted a separate parks and recreation assessment on Daniel Island last year.
“In the entire region of Cainhoy Peninsula
and Daniel Island, the population is certainly
much more heavily weighted on Daniel
Island,” added White. “…It will change over
time. This is, as I see it, an opportunity to
develop a road map for the Cainhoy area as it
builds out and grows.”

Carolyn Goff (far right), the head organizer of On Our Own (OOO), speaks briefly to the group
as they engage in “zen coloring” at the Daniel Island Library before heading to Wasabi for a
bento box lunch.

It’s true: even the most seasoned extroverts can have trouble making new friends
following a relocation or retirement. When
you don’t have your bearings, or the “convenience” of an at-the-ready group of peers
in the workplace, tracking down folks with
whom you share interests and commonalities can be tough.
So, two and a half years ago, a few Daniel Island women who felt lucky enough
to find friendship in one another decided
to assemble an evolving group of women
to ease transitions and foster connections.
They called it “On Our Own,” or OOO for
short, a nod to each woman’s capacity to
find her place in a new town or circumstances.
Since August 2013, OOO has grown to
over 70 members. The group meets once a
month for an outing – from hands-on art to
a film screening to a philanthropic project –
and lunch at an island eatery. They average
about 15 women of varying ages at each
get-together, and always welcome newcomers.
“There are other, more formalized groups
out there,” observes head organizer Carolyn
Goff, “and we see moms and kids out with
their playgroups. But we wanted something
different, just for ‘us.’”
The day they meet varies from month
to month, and communications are sent
out via email to keep members apprised of
upcoming dates. This month, they met at
the Daniel Island Library for “zen coloring,” then headed to Wasabi Daniel Island
for lunch. Next month? It’s a tour of the
College of Charleston, then back to DI for
another lunch among friends.
Ironically, the ladies of On Our Own
have found they are far from it.
If you are interested in being added to
the group, please contact Carolyn Goff at

Rubio wins five out of six Daniel Island and Cainhoy area precincts
ELIZABETH BUSH
[email protected]
Donald Trump may have been the top votegetter overall in the February 20 Republican
Presidential Primary in South Carolina, capturing 32.5 percent of the vote, but the majority
of Daniel Island and Cainhoy area residents
picked Marco Rubio at the polls. Of the six
precincts on the Cainhoy Peninsula, all but one
went for Rubio.
Trump was the clear winner in the Cainhoy
precinct, where voter turnout was the lowest
of the six at 7.35 percent. Rubio did best in the
Daniel Island 1 precinct, where he surged past
Trump with 42.13 percent of the vote. That

Reporter’s note: While waiting in line
this past Saturday, to vote in the Republican
primary, I decided to take pen to pad and
interview a number of voters about their
candidate choices and impressions without a
slant toward any of the particular candidates. All seven are Daniel Island residents.
Here’s what they had to say. (The Democratic Primary will be held this Saturday,
February 27.)
Kay Leigh
“I’m still debating. My husband says
Trump but I can’t stand him . . . I’m deciding between Rubio and Bush.” Asked about
Bush, she said: “You want to vote for him,”
but “you also want to vote” for the person
“who you think can win.”

Marlo and Travis Greene
Marlo: “I think [Rubio] can win, can
beat Hillary, or whoever the Democrats”
nominate. Asked about Trump, Marlo said:
“I can’t vote for him, I think he’s crude.”
Said Travis: “I normally decide way ahead”
on who I’m going to vote for, but “I’m
still deciding” between Rubio and Trump.
Thoughts about Trump? Said Travis: “I love
what he says, but don’t think he can win the
election.” Asked who they would vote for
without regard to electability, both Marlo
and Travis said they would vote for Ben
Carson.
Randy Wheeler
Wheeler said his vote is for Jeb Bush,
explaining: “He has the best resume . . . and
is trustworthy.” Asked why he thought Bush
wasn’t faring better, he said: “It’s because
of his name, and the ‘fatigue’ voters have
around the Bush legacy.” Thoughts on the
other candidates: Trump? “He’s a buffoon.”
Cruz? “I like a lot of things that he has to
say,” but didn’t appreciate the remarks on
Snowden. Wheeler pointed out that neither
Cruz nor Rubio has completed a single Senate term (similar to Obama) and he doesn’t
think that’s right.
Mark Hafner
He’s voting for Rubio because “we have
to win in November . . . and [Rubio] has
a better shot.” Anything about Rubio that
makes you pause? “Yes, immigration.”
Asked about Bush, Hafner said: If his last
name wasn’t Bush” he would be doing better. “We can’t have another Bush.”
Couple (chose not to share
their name)
The wife: “I’m going to close my eyes
and pick someone . . . anybody but Trump.”
The husband: “I think they’re all crazy,”
he then echoed, “anybody by Trump.”

Roundabouts
subject of sur vey/feedback
elizabeth bush
The single lane roundabout at Mathis
Ferry Road and Shelmore Boulevard, at the
entrance to the I’On subdivision, is used by
about 10,000 vehicles per day.
ELIZABETH BUSH
[email protected]
A
round and around we go. Opinions
continue to circulate about the safety
and efficiency of roundabouts in response to a plan to create a new traffic
rotary at the intersection of Daniel Island Drive and
Seven Farms Drive on Daniel Island.
Our neighbors across the Wando River in Mount
Pleasant know a thing or two about traffic circles.
They have more than 15, according to Paul Lykins,
Transportation Project Engineer for the Town of
Mount Pleasant. In most cases, they have been well
received, he said.
“It’s a nice feature,” added Lykins. “It’s a traffic control device…They reduce the severity of
crashes. You get the sideswipe versus the t-bone effect. They offer much slower speeds and only minor
property damage and virtually no injuries.”
Lykins estimates the single lane roundabout at
Mathis Ferry Road and Shelmore Boulevard, at
the entrance to the I’On subdivision, is used by
about 10,000 vehicles per day. It is the town’s oldest roundabout and is a bit smaller than the others
in town. It is also near a preschool and shopping
center.
“We’ve had no complaints about that one,” he
said. “It does slow traffic down and it works fairly
well.”
Several I’On residents agreed when asked about
the effectiveness of the roundabout.
“I have been happy with the roundabout at the
entrance to I’On,” said Florrie Sloan. “For a twolane road, it is great at keeping traffic flowing and
avoiding bottlenecks. I think a roundabout for a
four lane road would be a disaster!”
“I like the two roundabouts that are near us on
Mathis Ferry Road,” added Gabrielle Gause. “The
only frustration is drivers that don’t know how to
drive in a roundabout - either too fast or too slow!
I think it keeps traffic moving better than a traffic
light would in those intersections.”
“I am pro-roundabouts,” said Jools Bourne, a
cyclist who frequently uses the I’On traffic circle.
“Sometimes traffic lights just really ruin the flow of
traffic, and people end up waiting through the lights
and traffic doesn’t flow.”
Bourne sees roundabouts as an effective device
for moving vehicles, but cautions that many drivers
need to understand how they work before using
them.
“Roundabouts are great,” he added, stressing the
need to know when to yield. “…But they’re like
guns. If you put it into an idiot’s hand, it might not
get used in the intended manner.”
Are roundabouts safer for
pedestrians and cyclists?
When it comes to pedestrian and cyclist safety,
the question of whether roundabouts are a viable
alternative to signaled intersections is not as easy to
answer, Lykins said.
“There are different schools of thought on that,”
he continued. “There is guidance in the design
manuals on how to safely deal with bicyclists and
pedestrians, but I will say that in an area near a
school, where you have kids potentially crossing, in my mind, having them walk up and push
a button on a traffic signal and stopping traffic to
Survey respondents sound off about roundabouts
Following are just a few of the comments received
from those who took part in The Daniel Island News’
survey on the safety and effectiveness of roundabouts
in Mount Pleasant. While the majority of those who took
part in the survey (62 percent) said they have found that
most drivers know how to navigate traffic circles, about
38 percent did not agree.
“Long Point Circle. My daughter lives in this community and it (is) challenging to pull in front of a car
traveling from US-17 at 45 mph where the driver is
clueless that he must yield.”
“Too many close calls on who has the right of way ...
cross is probably the ideal situation. Otherwise,
you would have to be very careful when they cross
(in a roundabout). They would need to stop in the
middle, seek refuge, and then cross the other lane.
A high schooler would be fine dealing with that, but
not a first grader.”
Views from Mount Pleasant residents on the issue were mixed.
“In terms of safety for children and pedestrians,
that’s a different story,” added Sloan. “As a driver,
I am always on the lookout for kids and walkers as
I go through the roundabout. We have not allowed
our 13 year old to go through it.”
“(The I’On roundabout) doesn’t seem to be a
problem,” said Gause. “But there are always people
who approach too fast into the roundabout and may
not see bikes or pedestrians. I don’t think it is any
more of a safety issue than crossing at a regular
intersection.”
Long Pointe subdivision resident Ellen Nietert
was excited when a two-lane roundabout was created at the entrance to her neighborhood in 2013,
because it made exiting the community much easier.
But it did not necessarily create a safer experience
for pedestrians, she said.
“I would never let my boys cross the Long Point

unfamiliar with roundabouts quickly become acclimated

“The roundabouts that I use in Mt. Pleasant don’t
have pedestrian traffic like the DI one will have, so it’s
not a fair comparison.”
“They do not check for pedestrians or cyclists before
entering the roundabout. ...they seldom stop before
the crosswalks to check if someone might be crossing.
They also often seem to assume that if they are going
fast enough when they enter the crosswalk others will
automatically yield.”
“I have found that no one understands exactly how
a roundabout works. There are those that do not yield

As DI considers one roundabout, a celebrated city thrives with nearly 100
Jennifer Johnston
[email protected]
Berkeley County Councilman Josh
Whitley told The Daniel Island News that
the consideration of a roundabout for the
intersection of Daniel Island Drive and
Seven Farms Drive is “very preliminary,
as engineering has not even begun,” and
construction at the junction would not
begin until February 2017 at the earliest.
However, there is likely to be a public
hearing on the matter next month. “It’s
not confirmed, and not required,” Whitley
stated, “it’s just a good thing to do, and I
would like to do it.”
In the meantime, we thought it would
be interesting to take a look at what is
becoming known as Roundabout City,
USA. When Jim Brainard took office as
Mayor of Carmel, Indiana in 1996, the
area was hitting rapid growth and on its
way to becoming the fifth largest city in
the state. Located just north of Indianapolis, the Midwest town’s vibrant art scene
and dedication to building and maintaining
dense, walkable, mixed-use development
has since earned it top “best place to live”
honors by CNN Money magazine. Carmel
Carmel, Indiana, has been moving toward exclusively-circled intersections over the past two decades, a strategy that has received much acclaim
and met local livability objectives.
boasts a sprawling trail system, an impressive community center, a huge half-year
farmers market, and a world class center
for performing arts.
It has also earned livability awards,
due in no small part to its integration of
roundabouts in its road system. In an effort to increase safety, decrease pollution,
enhance beauty, and alleviate congestion,
Mayor Brainard made the traffic circles
a priority of his office – and today it is
perhaps the hallmark of his administration.
The city has nearly 100 roundabouts, most
replacing signaled intersections and reducing the number of lanes at the junctions.
For two decades, Carmel’s city leader
has promoted the proliferation of roundabouts to save both the city and its motorists’ money, as well as preserve the city’s
aesthetics. But, perhaps most importantly,
his office has advocated for traffic circles
as a tool for increasing safety. Here’s how
(from www.carmel.in.gov):
• All vehicles travel in the same direc-
tion, never crossing paths, which dramatically reduces number of serious crashes.
• Slower vehicle speeds give drivers
more decision-making time.
• Roundabouts eliminate head-on and
high-speed right angle collisions.
• Accidents with injury decreased in
Carmel by 78% when roundabouts replaced traditional intersections.
• There are less conflict points in roundabouts than in traditional intersections (see
image).

BE Baseball 2016: Great Expectations
PHILIP M. BOWMAN
The annual theme of the Bishop England baseball program just might be “great
expectations.” Always one of the top programs in the Palmetto State, the Bishops
are ranked No. 4 in the state preseason poll
of Class AA teams, according to the state
baseball coaches’ association.
The Bishops struggled early last year,
but gained momentum and experience,
posting a 16-14 record while reaching the
Lower State Championship Series.
The Bishops have leadership and experience with seven seniors on the 2016 roster.
There is young talent as well. It will be a
matter of blending team chemistry, work
ethic and talent as the Bishops aim for their
first state title since 2011.
“We feel this team can be as good as
we have had in a few years,” said veteran
coach Mike Darnell, who has a 21368 career record as a coach. “It will be
determined on our effort and enthusiasm.
There is enough talent on this team to be
successful, but we can’t just come out to
the park and win games. We have to play

The Bishops are counting on solid pitching. Fifteen of the 19 players on the roster
all have pitching duties included on their
baseball resumes. Throw in good team

of the team’s strengths.
The weaknesses?

that spot down for the next four years.”
Gunnar Finnseth and Jeffrey Brown are
two of the team’s leaders. They had the
talent and work ethic to receive baseball
scholarships to play at The Citadel.
Finnseth, a lefty, will be one of Darnell’s
aces on the pitching mound. He came on
strong as a hitter for the Bishops last year,
and will be counted on at the plate as much
as he will on the mound.

Brown will play center and right field.
He is projected to the team’s leadoff, and is
vital to Bishops success at the plate.
“He is one of the fastest players we have
had here at BE,” Darnell said. “With our
style of play, it is very important that he
has a high on-base-percentage and can use
his speed as much as possible.
Leo Albano was one of the top players by the end of his freshman season last
spring, with key hits and pitching efforts in
the playoffs. He also is the starting quarterback on the football team and is a starter
on the basketball team.
“With him being the quarterback in football and a starter on the varsity basketball
team, I don’t feel baseball will be difficult
for him,” Darnell said. “Being the quarterback in football is probably the most
stressful of the three. He is a very confident
kid and not much fazes him.”
Edward Bolchoz will also be a key contributor. He plays first base and is a pitcher.
He will bat in the middle of the lineup.

100 Fish Challenge
completed in record time!
fishing
trends
GREG PERALTA
Every year, my son (Elliott) and brother
(David) join me for the 100 Fish Challenge.
To beat the challenge, we must catch and
release 100 fish during a single tide cycle (of
6 hours). We have a pretty good record for
beating the challenge but it often takes every
bit of the allotted 6 hour window. Given the
great spring-like weather this weekend, we
decided to fish the challenge on Saturday.
Earlier in the week, I located a large school
of Redfish that moved into slight channel
during low tide. At dead low tide, it could be
literally like fishing in a barrel. So we started
the challenge at this location (at dead low
tide). For the next 90 minutes, we consistently caught Redfish two and three at a time.
They were not particularly large, but even
the small ones counted toward our 100 fish
goal. It was quite possibly the best Redfish
bite the three of us had ever experienced
together. Every lure we cast into the channel was hungrily eaten. We caught fish on
Z-Man StreakZ 3.75 (Ralph Shad), MinnowZ
(Houdini) and Trout Trick (Shrimp Po Boy).
Shortly after the tide began to rise, the
school dispersed. With our fish release count
at 39, we had a shot to beat the 100 Fish
Challenge in record time. The incoming tide
brought clear and slightly warmer water into
the creek, perfect conditions for targeting
Trout in deep channels. Using the depth
finder, it only took us a few minutes to find a
large school of Trout. As luck would have it,
the Trout were hungry as well. Once again,
we began catching doubles and triples of
Trout. By far, the most productive lure was
the StreakZ 3.75 on a Trout Eye jig. It took
just over an hour to catch 61 Trout and beat
the 100 Fish Challenge in record time.

Hanahan baseball has impressive numbers!
PHILIP M. BOWMAN
The Hanahan Hawks baseball team posted an
18-10 record last spring. But the numbers coach
Brian Mitchell talks about are 56 and 35 as the
2016 season nears.
The 56 is the number of players in the
Hanahan program. Thirty-five of those players
play either varsity or junior varsity baseball.
“We have lots of kids in the program, and
that’s a good thing,” veteran coach Brian Mitchell said. “It’s great that interest is so high. Now,
it’s our job to develop that talent.”
The program gets a big boost with the return
of Bryce Florie as an assistant coach. Florie
played baseball at Hanahan High School and
went on to have a successful career in the Major
Leagues. He was a pitcher and his career was
cut short when he suffered a serious eye injury
when he pitched for the Boston Red Sox.
He served as an assistant at Hanahan and
Bishop England and comes home after a stint as
head coach at Northwood Academy.
“Having Bryce back is a tremendous plus for
us,” Mitchell said. “His knowledge of the game
is impressive and he should help out veteran and
inexperienced pitchers.”
The team has only four position players back
from last year’s team: RF Martin Van Buren, 1B
Ridge Hunter, CF Eric Gartman and C Hunter
Sutton. Pitcher Parker Sutrell is another experienced pitcher.
Van Buren and Futrell signed with North
Carolina State and Charleston Southern respectively in November. Both players had key roles
last spring.
Van Buren, a right-handed pitcher helped
lead the Hawks to a district final last spring
with a 4-1 record and a 2.38 ERA as a junior.
He pitched 32 innings and allowed just 15 hits
while striking out 46.
Futrell was the Hawks’ closer last spring and
boasted impressive statistics, including two victories and three saves. He pitched 27 1/3 innings
and tallied a 1.28 ERA and 19 strikeouts.
“Pitching is where we feel really good,”
Mitchell said. “You can go a long way if you
have pitchers who have command of their
pitches and throw strikes. We feel like we can be
competitive. It comes down to hitting. We know
we can play defense and pitch well. It all comes
down to finding ways to score runs.”
The team did lose two players who were expected to log plenty of playing time. One player
moved back to Florida and the other transferred
to Summerville. The Hawks got a boost when
John Glee transferred from Northwood Academy to Hanahan.
The Hawks posted a 6-4 record last year in
Region 8-AAA play.
Two-time region champ Berkeley is the team
to beat in conference play, Mitchell said. Hilton
Head, which features Clemson-bound lefthanded pitcher Mat Clark, should also be a force in
the Lower State.
“That leaves us and Beaufort, although you
can count out Stall and Orangeburg-Wilkinson,”
Mitchell said. “The region championship could
go down to the wire. We have to be able to compete with Berkeley and Hilton Head.”
Stephens and Bouchard enter 2016 Volvo Car Open
Staff report
Sloane Stephens and Eugenie Bouchard have
committed to play in the inaugural Volvo Car
Open (formerly the Family Circle Cup), April 2
– 10, 2016. They join Angelique Kerber, Venus
Williams, Belinda Bencic, Lucie Safarova,
Madison Keys, Andrea Petkovic and more in
the player field forming for the WTA premier
tournament.
The 22-year-old Stephens and 21-year-old
Bouchard have both played in Charleston
before. This year will mark Stephens’ sixth appearance in the field and Bouchard’s fourth.
“Sloane and Genie are the next generation
of tennis stars – two young players to watch,”
said Eleanor Adams, Volvo Car Open Tournament Manager. “Our fans have watched them
compete in Charleston and have been rooting
them on since their teenage years. You can be
assured these talented ladies will have successful careers for many years to come.”
Stephens, ranked World No. 24, is off to a
great start for the 2016 season. The American
won her second WTA title at the ASB Classic in
Auckland last month. The 2015 season proved
to be a successful one for Stephens. She won
the first WTA title of her career in August of
2015 at the Citi Open. In addition to her win in
Washington D.C., she made the semifinals in
Strasbourg and Eastbourne, the quarterfinals in
Miami and Seoul and the fourth round in Paris,
at the French Open.
“I love playing on clay, it’s my favorite
surface,” said Stephens. “I’m excited to kick-off
the clay court season in Charleston again this
year at the Volvo Car Open.”
Bouchard recently reached the Hobart finals
in January 2016. Last year, she made the quarterfinals of the Australian Open and the fourth
round of the U.S. Open. The 2014 season was
a historic one for Bouchard, marked with semifinals appearances at the Australian Open and
French Open, as well as her first Grand Slam
final at Wimbledon. The Canadian also won her
first WTA title at Nurnberg.
Bouchard made the quarterfinals of the
Family Circle Cup in 2013 and the semifinals
in 2014.
“I’ve had great tournaments in Charleston,”
said Bouchard. “I really love playing in this
city. The fans, the food, the tennis – it’s all
amazing. I’m looking forward to being there
again.”

two lanes in each direction including a
signaled left turn lane and as well as a
straight lane.”
“The original design proposed by
Berkeley County required a much easier
design to build in a limited time schedule.
Adding left turn lanes and signals for the
four streets entering this intersection will
resolve the existing problem without affecting most of the pedestrian lanes. It is
a safe design for pedestrians. I suspect the
total costs will be substantial less than the
roundabout.”
“We have too many pedestrians - mainly
children and the elderly - that cross at that
intersection. They would never get the
chance to cross the road; cars would never
have to stop. Vehicles already don’t stop at
crosswalks for pedestrians, not even when
they are next to a stop sign. A roundabout
at this intersection only serves one purpose
- to keep traffic moving - and it goes completely against the spirit of Daniel Island.
Roundabouts work wonderfully in high
traffic areas WITHOUT pedestrians - and
this intersection is traversed equally by
pedestrians and vehicles.”
“I believe the better choice would to
make right hand turns on red illegal at
this intersection and to have a four-way
light process instead two, so only the folks
going the same direction have a red. You
would stop all the crazy left hand turn
issues and wouldn’t even have to add
turning lanes. Just make each light cycle
shorter and only one direction at a time.
This has been very successful other places
and impossible for car crashes and creates
a safe crosswalk!”
“Based on usage in Mount Pleasant, I
strongly feel that users do not understand
traffic laws in roundabouts. I fear for auto,
pedestrian, and bike safety. It becomes a
total free-for-all. I much prefer a simpler
solution to just add left hand turn arrows
to all four directions (with or even without
an extra turn lane added).”
“My wife is legally blind and this would
make the intersection extremely dangerous
for her to navigate. Daniel Island drivers,
both auto and golf carts, haven’t shown
her the courtesy that the cane demands on
the side roads on the island. The roundabout would have drivers focus to the left
for an opportunity to merge, therefore,
increasing the risk for pedestrian traffic
entering from the right.”

Catching zzz’s (and monsters) with the vigilant cuddle of the Meekle Mate
Jennifer Johnston
[email protected]
We called them security blankets. That’s
right. Security. From Linus’ baby blue number
to Kenny’s woobie in “Mr. Mom,” these loyal
linens were like Downey-fresh secret service,
on the job 24/7. With their brazen portability and iron curtain-like shield, to bullies and
bogeymen alike they sent a clear message:
“not this kid.”
At some point these sidekicks were renamed “comfort objects,” and the new moniker rendered them more passive. Taking more
diverse forms, from Gloworms to bear-bears,
they became less cop and more companion;
more buddy than bodyguard. They were sweet
and cute and, yes, comfortable. Maybe a little
too comfortable.
When Michelle Shelderfer’s four year-old
son began showing a consistent pattern of
sleep troubles, she took a closer look at the
problem. Not only was he waking up in the
middle of the night as a result of bad dreams,
those nightmares were making him fearful of
going to bed in the first place. Concerned and
exhausted, the Daniel Island mom and her
husband, Chris, tucked in little Mason every
evening with a different comfort item, but
the night would always end the same: child

Meekle Mate captures monsters and bad dreams
From meekle mate on PAGE 26
awake, parents awake, then an uncomfortable
configuration of co-sleeping in an attempt to
grab a few more winks before daylight.
“We tried every ‘fix’ we could find: nightlights, a noise machine, a bed full of stuffed
animals, a glow turtle,” Shelderfer recalls.
“We had a glowing moon and earth on his
wall. All of these items failed once he woke
up with a bad dream.”
Getting her older son, Jayden, then eight
years-old, to hit they hay was no picnic,
either. The entire family was sleep deprived.
And since sleep is a human necessity, and necessity is the mother of invention, this human
mother went to work.
The family had moved to Daniel Island
in the spring of 2014 from just outside of
Philadelphia, where Shelderfer had worked in
IT software support and training. She had the
background of neither a seasoned seamstress
nor a child psychologist, but she did have two
key attributes: a desperate desire for a rested
household and the honest feedback of an
anxious child.
“(Mason) was able to tell us he was having
bad dreams and he also told us that he kept
having them even with all the special items
we bought him,” she relates. “He needed a
reason as to why he had a bad dream even
though he had his safe item.”
It was in that moment that Shelderfer knew
she had to devise something that gave him
peace of mind, but wouldn’t leave him feeling
let down or even more vulnerable the next
time a nightmare occurred. She made a trip
to the craft store, and a few hours later had
created her first Meekle Mate, a colorful plush
pal with a large mouth that captures monsters
and bad dreams. It was named after Shelderfer’s childhood term for monsters: meekles.
The best part? Mason could “empty” the menacing contents of Meekle Mate’s belly into the
trash before bed.
To Shelderfer’s overwhelming relief,
Mason’s nightmares became more infrequent,
and when they did find him, he would simply
empty out his Meekle Mate and go right back
to sleep.
“When he did have a bad dream, Meekle
Mate didn’t fail to work; he was just full and
needed to be emptied,” Shelderfer explains.
“This helped with getting him back to sleep
and believing his Meekle Mate would protect
him for the remainder of the night.”
It worked so well, in fact, that Shelderfer
determined she could not keep the concept to
herself. Knowing there were scores of other
parents going through similar trials with their
sleep-challenged kids, she decided to manufacture and market the Meekle Mate.
Mason gave her idea an enthusiastic nod,
saying: “All the kids in the world should
have a Meekle Mate to take away all the bad
dreams.”
The original Meekle Mate had a pocket
on the front with a little plastic jar that was
removed for emptying into the trash. To make
the toy more comfortable and safe, Shelderfer
later removed the jar and turned the pocket
into a big Velcro-closed mouth to collect bad
dreams. Mason helped his mom come up with
the Meekle Mate design that would ultimately
go to market, down to the number of teeth the
buddy brandished, and what color combinations would be offered.
Now sold on the company website, www.
meeklemates.com, as well as locally at the
home & garden 27
Wonder Works toy shop locations in Mount
Pleasant and West Ashley, the current iteration of the Meekle Mate is available in four
different patterns. The toy will be available on
Amazon within the next few weeks. Measuring 17 inches top to toe, the Meekle Mate is
recommended for ages three and up. Shelderfer has plans to develop other products in the
Meekle Mate lineup, likely starting with an
accompanying bedtime book.
The ability to thwart nightmares is a noble
one, indeed, but can the Meekle Mate help
kids with more generalized anxiety about
bedtime or other worries? Shelderfer says
absolutely: “He is made to protect kids from
all scary things.”
Sounds like security has been restored.
