And much more!

It is estimated that 129 people are dying each day
as a result of a drug overdose.
More and more in our own community, in school
and church circles, on sports fields and playgrounds,
on social media pages and in grocery store aisles - we
are hearing about the high cost of addiction. And it
seems as though kids are increasingly at risk.
According to the National Center on Addiction and
Substance Abuse (NCASA), some 40 million Americans ages 12 and older have substance problems. In
fact, NCASA considers adolescent substance abuse
America’s number one public health problem, with
some 75 percent of high school students reporting
they have used addictive substances. Another 45
percent say they are current users.
They are indeed sobering statistics, particularly in
a world where the rate of opioid drug abuse among
young adults is not just climbing - but soaring.
The Centers for Disease Control states that overall
opioid deaths have quadrupled since 1999, as have
the number of sales of prescription opioid drugs. In
2014 alone, more than 28,000 people nationwide lost
their lives after using opioid medications (such as
Oxycodone, Hydrocodone, and morphine), Fentanyl,
or heroin. In Berkeley County specifically, there have
been 16 accidental overdoses so far this year, as well
as two suicide overdoses, according to Coroner Bill
Salisbury. The problem hit close to home last July,
when the death of a young man on Daniel Island was
deemed “drug-related,” reported Lt. James Byrne of
Daniel Island-based Team 5.
Research also tells us that many adult addicts
started their habits during their younger years. Recent
data from the website www.drugfree.org reports that
90 percent of those with substance abuse problems
began smoking, drinking or using drugs before age
18.
In this issue of The Daniel Island News, we kick
off a series on substance abuse – detailing not only
the personal stories of two former Daniel Island
families who have faced the horrors of addiction, but
also providing important information about what law
enforcement officers are seeing on the streets, what
parents should know, and how those struggling can
get the help they so desperately need.

New community rec center plans outlined at DINA meeting
Other island enhancements/projects also discussed
ELIZABETH BUSH
[email protected]
Basketball and volleyball courts, a running
track, space for fitness equipment and classes,
rooms for community meetings, and a commercial kitchen – all are features included in
preliminary designs for Daniel Island’s first
indoor community recreation center, slated to
be built in Governors Park.
City Councilman Gary White and Charleston
Mayor John Tecklenburg outlined plans for the
new 25,000 square foot facility at last week’s
Daniel Island Neighborhood Association
(DINA) meeting.
“We think we hit all the marks and will be
able to take care of all the programming needs
that people were looking for,” said White. “…
From a recreational standpoint, a lot of the
things that we don’t provide today here on the
island because of a lack of space, we’ll be able
to do.”
More than 75 community members packed
in to the ministry center at Church of the Holy
Cross to hear about the project, and other
planned enhancements that are part of a proposed Fourth Amendment to the Development
Agreement between the City of Charleston and
the Daniel Island Company.
“We certainly believe it’s the final amendment,” said Mayor Tecklenburg. “Because it
really ties all the loose ends up.”
The agreement, originally created in the
1990s and intended to guide development on
the island, specified the amount of acreage to be
set aside for city parks, as well as the dollars the
city would put forth to pay for those amenities.
Tecklenburg acknowledged that the agreement
was in need of updating and that some of the
commitments had not been completed.
“When I was on the campaign trail last year,
I heard from a lot of you that this had been on
the back burner for too long and we needed to
go ahead and resolve any issues that were outThe city provided this rendering of a preliminary design for the new indoor community recrestanding,” said Tecklenburg. “As soon as I got

• Warm climates tend to produce cultures
that are more liberal about touching than colder
regions (Source: Psychology Today article by
Chillot);
• Atheists and agnostics touch more than
religious types, “probably because religions often
teach that some kinds of touch are inappropriate
or sinful,” according to professor Peter Anderson
of San Diego University, as quoted by Chillot);
• Senior citizens receive the least touching of
any age group (Source: Livestrong.com article by
Mary Bauer); and
• More touch-oriented doctors, teachers, and
managers get higher ratings (Source: Psychology
Today article by Chillot).
Would more touch benefit us all? No doubt,
say the experts. But in a touch-phobic society
such as ours it’s challenging to create a culture that promotes touch (people in Spain, for
instance, were found to be far better at communicating via touch than their American counterparts). In 1998, Fields called for “a shift in the
social-political attitude toward touch,” noting
that, “leaving your humanity behind every time
you leave home isn’t very appealing.”
The future of touch?
Imagine an online shopper “feeling” the linen
of a summer shirt while sitting at their computer.
Imagine receiving a long-distance Swedish
massage. Or imagine a surgeon in Los Angeles
performing surgery in Botswana, and actually
feeling the flesh and organs of the patient.
It’s all possible.
So hug a friend today. It’ll feel good.
Correction:
In last week’s BE football story we identified BE’s win in the first week as being against Pinewood Prep. It was actually against Christ Church.

The Daniel News Moves Into New Office
In the September 14, 2006 issue of the Daniel
Island News, it was reported that The Daniel
Island News had moved into new office space
at 225 Seven Farms Drive. Ten years later the
office is still located at this address.
Also, Greta Waits, who at the time was 5
years old and a brand new kindergarten student at the Daniel Island School, landed a 23.8
pound bonnet head (pictured) which was just a
pound shy of the All-Tackle World Record. Her
father, Capt. J.R. Waits, was and still is a local
fishing guide who has guided several clients to
world record bonnet head sharks.
In election news, the S.C. Election Commission asked registered voters to update their
home address or other contact information
with their county voter registration office by
Oct. 7 to help ensure that the Nov. 7, 2006
general election run efficiently at precincts
statewide.
William Tisdale was the first customer to come

It will be an all-encompassing indoor recreational facility
From rec center on PAGE 02
for sporting events. “Without a port access road,
there is zero ability for Daniel Island Drive
to handle 1000 vehicle trips on a Saturday (to
that site). So we really had to sit back and say
what would we do with that property given that
scenario?”
The proposed amendment, which is expected to be approved at the September 27 City
Council meeting, calls not only for the funding
transfer to Governors Park but also for the city
land originally set aside for the regional park to
be leased to the Daniel Island Town Association
(DITA) for recreational use.
“DITA, by way of public-private partnerships, can really do a lot more programming
much faster than what the city would have the
capacity to do,” added White.
After conducting public charrettes and surveys last year to gather input on the community’s recreational needs, the city decided to move
forward with plans for the indoor community
center – citing it as the number one request they
heard from residents. Currently, the only indoor
site for city-sponsored rec activities is the
Daniel Island School gym. A joint agreement
between the city and the school system allows
the city to utilize the space for 500 hours a year,
but that allotment has failed to meet increasing
demand.
“We were over programming way past what
the school could handle,” said White. “They
were very nice. They gave us 500 hours a
year…But it was nowhere near scratching the
surface of what the recreational needs for our
community were…The Daniel Island community really deserves a world class recreation
community center that handles the needs of all
of the community – and is going to allow us to
have year round access for recreational opportunities for the community as a whole.”
The project, which would not eliminate any
of the existing play fields at Governors Park,
also includes plans for additional parking, noted
White. The city will work to find an additional
$2 million to ensure that the facility serves its
intended purpose, bringing the estimated total
cost of the center to just over $7 million.
“It will really be an all-encompassing indoor
recreational facility,” said White. “…The
Mayor has met with financial staff and we have
already started discussions around how we are
going to fund it. We know that to do it right,
that’s what we need to do. And that’s what
we’re committed to.”
“It’s a long time in coming,” said Daniel
Island resident Marcia Miller after the meeting.
“I think it will be very valuable.”
But Steve Reed wondered whether or not

current parking area.
space set aside for basketball courts would be
sufficient.
“That amount of court space – it will be nice,
but it’s not gonna be enough,” he said. “But you
can only do what you can do.”
“I guess overall I’m for it,” stated Bruce
Markham, who attended the meeting with his
wife, Kathy. “Because I don’t know what the
alternative would be, and if it would be any
better.”
“Anything to keep the kids busy!” added
Kathy.
In addition to the community center, the
amendment also calls for a two acre strip of
land along the Wando River waterfront near the

Daniel Island Sales Center to be deeded from
the Daniel Island Company to the city. The
city would then deed the property to DITA for
development as park space.
“We will put deed restrictions on that that
ensure that it is in perpetuity available and
open to the public during normal park hours…
as well as making sure we get some oversight
as to what’s built on the site,” said White. “…
There is no design planned for it yet, but it’s a
way to engage the waterfront there.”
Also included in the amendment is a change
to the original requirement that the city construct a neighborhood park in Daniel Island
Park. Under the new terms, the city would
have the option of building the park within two
years. And if that doesn’t happen, the dollars
allocated for the amenity could be moved to
the new community recreation center and the
Daniel Island Company would take over the
building of the park.
“Irregardless, in two years something will be
built on that site,” said White.

City Project Updates on Daniel Island
Mayor John Tecklenburg provided updates on
several of the city’s projects on Daniel Island
and the Cainhoy Peninsula at the September
6 meeting of the Daniel Island Neighborhood
Association. Below is a summary of his remarks
on each initiative.
Clements Ferry Road Widening –
Phase One
Bid opening for construction expected to begin
this week. Presuming bids are in line with
budget expectations, construction could proceed
immediately thereafter. The widening is expected to take about two years, with completion
in late 2018. Phase One extends from I-526 at
Clements Ferry Road to Jack Primus Road.
Clements Ferry Road Widening –
Phase Two
Preliminary plans to be sent to the South Carolina Department of Transportation this fall. Once
comments are received back, it is anticipated
that the right-of-way acquisition process could
begin in early 2017, after plans are approved.
Construction bids could be opened on the
project in 2019. Estimated construction period
is two years, with completion expected in 2021
or 2022. Phase Two extends from Jack Primus
Road to Hwy 41.
Freedom Park Restroom Facility
New city restroom facility and picnic pavilion currently under construction at park, located behind
Daniel Island School. Estimated completion at
the end of September 2016.
Daniel Island Shore Stabilization
City has permits in hand to begin process of stabilizing portions of Daniel Island coastline along
the Wando River where erosion has occurred.
Looking to begin project this fall with work complete by Spring. In certain areas, retaining walls
will be installed.
Governors Park Boat Ramp
This project is being funded through the South
Carolina Department of Natural Resources.
Berkeley County was originally slated to facilitate and manage the project, but the city has
agreed to take over the initiative. A few permit
modifications will be made from the original application, which was first submitted in 2003.
Daniel Island – Thomas Island
Recreational Path
The city has funding in place for the portion of
this project that extends from the Blackbaud
campus on Daniel Island Drive over Beresford
Creek to the start of a path connecting to the
Shell Ring neighborhood. This part of the initiative will feature a bridge over the creek as well
as an elevated walkway over wetlands. The
other sections of the multi-use path have not yet
been funded. Originally, it was proposed that
the path extend all the way down Daniel Island
Drive/Thomas Island Drive to Clements Ferry
Road. But an alternative that would take the
path through Shell Ring is being studied as a
way to conserve costs and protect wetlands.
Daniel Island Performing
Arts Center
Although this is not a city funded project, Mayor
Tecklenburg encouraged DINA members and
other members of the community to support the
initiative, which he dubbed a “world class facility”
and a “great asset” to the island.

Scouts help beautify grounds at Holy Cross Church on DI
Photos Provided
An enthusiastic team of 62 Daniel Island
Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts and parents gathered at Church of the Holy Cross on Daniel
Island on Saturday, September 10, to help
spruce up the churcgrounds and landscaping.
Phase one of the project included beautifying the street corner at the intersection of
Seven Farms Drive and Daniel Island Drive,
installing a stepping stone walkway, tree
trimming, and pulling weeds. “The sweet
part of it all was the good attitudes all possessed,” noted project coordinator Melody
Bundschuh. “I didn’t meet any resistance
on the project list. Older Scouts paired with
younger Cubs to demonstrate leadership and
skill training. Parents assisted, but the boys
all managed their own little project areas.”
The next phase will involve the installation
of benches and a nice seating area on site.
Several members of Daniel Island-based Boy Scout Troop 519 assisted with the clean-up project.
Pictured left to right are Scouts Jack Henry Doty, Tyler Harper, Thomas Schmenk, Henry Wood,
Luther Young, Edward Snyder, Aaron de Jager, and Robert Pagenkopf.

who have given their lives in service to their country and communities, but also
to recognize those who continue to put their lives on the line each and every day.
This year’s event attracted a record 1,000 plus runners and walkers and raised
more than $70,000, according to Race Director Theresa Faircloth. Fifty percent
of the proceeds will benefit the Travis Manion Foundation, and the remaining 50
percent will be donated to local first responder organizations. The 2016 beneficiaries are Berkeley County EMS, Charleston County Volunteer Rescue Squad, and
the James Island Fire Department.

How To Raise Thrifty And Generous Teenagers
Toni Tantlinger
From piggy banks to that first savings account, many children are taught the value of
saving from an early age.
But as they grow to adolescence, following parental advice sometimes gives
way to peer or media influences, and those
once-thrifty children are now teenagers in a
consumer-driven world where spending, not
saving, is king.
“Nearly everyone falls into two categories: spenders and savers,” says John
Cortines, co-author with Gregory Baumer of
God and Money: How We Discovered True
Riches at Harvard Business School (www.
godandmoney.net). “Spending is easy, so
it’s up to parents to start conversations with
their teens on the importance of saving and,
just as importantly, giving.”
Cortines and Baumer suggest three
ways parents can help teens establish good
financial habits before they reach adulthood,
and pave the way for those teens to become
generous people as well as good savers:
• Help them begin saving for retirement
now. Teens who land a part-time job often
want to save money to buy a car or they
simply want to enjoy a little financial freedom with weekend shopping sprees. Unless
they’re careful, that money burning a proverbial hole in their pocket is spent before
the next payday. Parents can help them think
beyond today by suggesting they invest a
portion of that income in a Roth IRA. Mom
and Dad can even consider matching their
teen dollar-for-dollar on their savings. “Explain the wonder of compounding investment returns – how the money they invest
as a teen could be worth 10 to 20 times as
much when they retire,” Cortines says.
• Family philanthropy. Even if the gifts
are modest, Cortines and Baumer advocate
involving teens in the family giving plan.
Encourage them to research charities and apply for “grants” from the family’s budget for
giving. “The experience of learning about
nonprofits will be invaluable,” Baumer says.
This is also where another portion of the
teen’s earnings from a part-time job could be
placed.
• Let them into your journey. Parents
should model what they want their teens
to emulate. Cortines said this begins with
“letting them see your character as reflected
in financial decisions.” That doesn’t mean
letting teens know their parents’ net worth or
the details of their income. Baumer and Cortines suggest explaining to teens how living
modestly has short- and long-term benefits,
whether it has allowed an early payoff of a
mortgage, or demonstrates that frugal purchasing decisions leave money available for
charitable giving.
“If you frame the conversation well,”
Baumer says, “teens will benefit from seeing
your character on display as you navigate
your finances.”
Once saving and giving goals are fulfilled,
teens can then begin to focus on spending.
“But unless spending is kept under
control,” Cortines says, “saving and giving
simply aren’t possible at any meaningful
level.”

en years ago, former
Daniel Island resident
Taylor Potts was a
bright young freshman
at Bishop England
High School looking to
fit in.
Due to his academic success, his
family had nicknamed him “Doctor”
Taylor. But the funny and handsome
honors student suffered from a bit of
social anxiety, said his mother, Lisa
Potts Kirchner. When a close friend
transferred to Wando High School,
Taylor convinced his parents to let
him do the same. He was lonely
there at first, but then he began
hanging around a new friend. Lisa
and her husband were a bit skeptical – as Taylor’s fellow student
appeared a bit different from many
of his other friends. He had long hair
that he wore in a red bandana. In and
of itself, that wouldn’t have been a
red flag, said Lisa. But something
about the teen made her uneasy.
“I very much taught my children
not to discriminate,” she recalled.
“But I thought – who is that? He
said ‘Are you judging him?’… I
saw him go into a car with an older
person as they left the house, right
at the end of his sophomore year.
I basically didn’t see Taylor for a
month.”
Despite efforts to get him to come
home, he refused. Lisa would even-

Taylor Potts –
A life in limbo
tually learn that family members at
Taylor’s friend’s home were smoking pot and drinking, activities apparently condoned by a parent in the
house. It wasn’t long before Taylor
started partaking as well. In addition, said Lisa, the boy’s 18 year-old
sister was a heroin addict.
“I had no earthly imagination
that heroin was being used by kids
here,” said Lisa. “I thought that only
existed in New York! I didn’t know
I needed to warn my children about
heroin. I didn’t even know it was
available. We were pretty much in a
bubble on Daniel Island.”
The first time Taylor tried heroin,
it was shot into his arm by his
friend’s sister. Life for the Potts family would never be the same.
“I could tell that my kid was drastically changing,” said Lisa.
And so began the rollercoaster of
trying to help Taylor beat his addiction – and save his life. He was in
and out of rehab and drug court. His
behavior became very erratic and
even violent at times. Relapses were
common. Because heroin doesn’t
stay in the body long, it was difficult
for Lisa and her husband to know
when Taylor was using.
“Heroin metabolizes in your system in 48 hours,” said Lisa. “…And
you don’t smell heroin. You’re not
wobbly. It’s hard to tell except when
they go into withdrawals.”
He barely made it through his
senior year, and by then, as Lisa recalls, he was “a hot mess.” He went
off to College of Charleston on a full
scholarship that fall, but lasted less
than a month before dropping out.
“We hoped he would go and
magically get better, and he didn’t,”
added Lisa. “He was pretending to
go to school. It was getting dangerous. I had to withdraw him medically…We were not understanding
how deeply he was involved in
heroin.”
Finding help
Because he was over the age of
16, Taylor couldn’t be involuntarily
committed for long term treatment.
But his parents convinced him it was
the right thing to do. He went to a
rehab facility in Mississippi for four
months to get help. After that, he
enrolled at University of South Carolina as a chemistry major, but, as
Lisa explained, within a few months
of his arrival he re-entered the drug
scene there and relapsed again. This
time, his behavior resulted in an arrest for first degree burglary.
“It was a serious offense,” said
Lisa. “Fifteen years to life…To see
my very preppy, almost nerdy ‘Doctor’ Taylor transition to the person
he had become was pretty horrifying
and painful…Our family completely
fell apart. It was very stressful…
Seeing your child get more and
more sick, and feeling powerless, is
devastating.”
As a result of the chaos, Lisa’s
marriage broke up and she lost her
job of 12 years. She couldn’t work
due to the situation with Taylor, so
she had to resign. After another stint
in drug court, Taylor was bonded to
their home on Daniel Island.

What are opioids?
The National Institute on Drug
Abuse defines opioids quite simply
as “medications that relieve pain.”
Common opioids prescribed by physicians include hydrocodone (Vicadin),
oxycodone (OxyContin, Percaset),
morphine (Kadian, Avinza), and
codeine. According to the Centers for
Disease Control, there are four basic
categories of opioids:
*Natural opioid analgesics (those
listed above) – prescribed for moderate to severe pain.
*Methadone - a synthetic opioid
*Synthetic opioid analgesics other
than methodone, including drugs such
as fentanyl, which is 50 to 100 times
more potent than morphine and can be
used to lace heroin.
*Heroin – an illicit (illegally made)
opioid synthesized from morphine
that can come in the form of a white
or brown powder, or a black sticky
substance. Can also be pressed into
pill form.

By second semester, his grades had begun to

with his team for scrimmages, games and trips
was tough on him, said Nanci. He also hated
the cold weather and snow. She thought those
factors might be contributing to his changed
demeanor.
When he came home for Spring Break, she
became concerned. Creighton was normally
very enthusiastic and overly communicative,
said Nanci. But this time, he was not offering
up his typical jokes or funny antics, and he
wasn’t active or wanting to spend time outdoors – activities he previously loved.
“He was very tired and was communicating
very little,” Nanci recalled. He had dark circles
under his eyes, had lost weight, and was easily

things got especially heated and she asked
him to move out. He went to live with friends,
but still would make it a priority to get to his
siblings’ lacrosse games, or the occasional
family dinner. He even served as a confirmation sponsor for his sister Wheaton and brother
Jack. Behind the scenes – a struggle was raging within him as heroin tightened its grip.
“It wasn’t a choice,” said Nanci, who still
fights back tears when talking about her son.
“…No one chooses to become this way…We
had seen some of his friends at different points
go to rehab and we would have those conversations. Nobody ever thinks it’s them. They
just don’t think bad things can happen.”
But Creighton knew the fight had become
too great for him to handle on his own, so he
contacted his mother and told her he was ready
to get help. Nanci sprang into action, connecting him with Sam Conley, regional director
for education and treatment for Willingway,
a rehab and recovery program in Statesboro,
Georgia. At the time, Conley was leading a
Willingway support group on Daniel Island at
Holy Cross Church. When Conley told Creighton about Willingway, he said he was all in.
Nanci told him how proud she was of him as
they embraced in a sea of hugs and tears.
“I said this is your walk and your story…
and I’ll keep it anonymous if you want. He
looked at me and said, ‘Mom, I’ve alerted everyone and put it all over Facebook, Snapchat
and Instagram. If I want to beat this, I’ve got
to have everyone’s support.’”
With those words, Nanci believes Creighton
gave her permission to share his experience
with others, in hopes that more lives can be
spared from the disease of addiction. She took
him to the facility the next day.
“He drove,” recalled Nanci, of the special
time they had together on the ride. “We had
the music on, the windows down…and it was
a really pretty day. That was the first time in a
while that I saw my son again. I saw him. I felt
him. The conversations in the car were really
good.”
Once they arrived, emotions once again
bubbled to the surface for both of them. She
left her son at Willingway that June day, hoping for a miracle. As required by the facility,
their only form of communication would be
letters for the next six weeks. On June 24, she
received a heartfelt note from him, in which
he disclosed for the first time that his “drug
of choice” had been heroin. He told her he
had been doing it for almost six months, first
smoking it and later injecting it in the last
three months.
“When I saw that word ‘heroin’ – I immediately thought of how bad that drug is,” said
Nanci. “It’s a lifelong battle. And that super
scared me.”
By the time Family Weekend rolled around

ton’s discharge and follow-up care was being
formulated. It was suggested that he do outpatient therapy (treatment meetings and some
appointments) while attending school at Mars
Hill. But suddenly Creighton shifted and told
his mother he wanted to return to their home in
Mount Pleasant and attend classes locally. He
was constantly changing his idea of what his
care and action plan should be. Nanci didn’t
feel good about the flip flopping. She was
concerned about the possibility of Creighton
using again and needed to keep her other three
siblings in the home safe. In an effort to exercise some tough love and avoid enabling her
son, Nanci told him without a consistent plan
for support and accountability, moving back
home was not an option.
“He said that’s fine,” Nanci recalled. “And
he packed his bags and left.”
As she left Statesboro for an emotional drive
home, Nanci heard Creighton might be in the
area near a local coffee shop. She turned her
car around and headed for the location. After
finding him outside the shop, she pleaded with
him through tears to go back to Willingway,
but he refused and told her he had a friend
picking him up.
“We hugged each other tight and kissed each
other on the cheeks and I said ‘I love you so
much, Creighton,’ and he said ‘I love you so
much, Mom.’”
Distraught, Nanci reluctantly left and headed
home. The next two nights, plagued with anxiety, she had trouble sleeping.
“I had bad dreams that he was going to be
a John Doe and that something bad would
happen to him and he would be cast aside,”
recalled Nanci.
Within 48 hours, a police officer knocked on
her door and she learned that Creighton was in
a hospital in Columbia fighting for his life after
a drug overdose. Three days later, Creighton
passed away. Surrounding him at his bedside
during those heartbreaking final hours were

“People ask, what can I do?” she said. “And

“My worst fears came true. That’s a scary

sponsible for him,” she said. “But he was still
actively using and there was no offer of help…
He nearly overdosed in our back yard the night
before he started drug court. We had to call
911 because his face was down in the dirt.”
After spending time in the Charleston
Recovery House, and more unsuccessful rehab
attempts, Taylor once again tested positive for
heroin and was arrested. Today, at age 26, he is
in the MacDougall Correctional Institution in
Ridgeville and is up for parole in October.
“Ninety percent of people incarcerated in
the state have used drugs,” said Lisa. “...At
16, I had no right as a parent to commit him
to long term treatment, and they are a danger
to themselves and other people and there really is nothing you can do about it, except for
temporarily detox them. That really needs to
change.”
Another troubling reality is a lack of
resources for those suffering from substance
abuse in South Carolina, particularly when
compared to other states. According to the
National Center on Addiction and Substance
Abuse (NCASA), only 8.5 percent of the
South Carolina budget is spent on addiction,
versus 13.9 percent in North Carolina, 14.4
percent in Georgia, 16.3 percent in Florida
and 11.1 percent in Virginia. On average,
only about two cents of every dollar spent on
substance problems in the U.S. goes towards
prevention and treatment, while 96 cents is
spent on the consequences. The NCASA statistics also reveal that only one in 10 people who
need treatment receive it.
“If you have the opportunity to vote for
more resources,” added Lisa, “…we should all
be doing that.”
Advice for parents
Lisa, who has since remarried and now lives
in North Charleston, is chief executive officer
of FamilyCorps, a statewide nonprofit that
provides evidence-based family strengthening programs in all 46 counties free of charge.
When it comes to protecting kids from the
dangers of substance abuse, she wants parents
to be on guard.
“My instinct was that something was wrong
with the friends,” she said, of Taylor’s high
school experience. “But I overlooked that
because he had a friend. I checked my biases.
I was not trying to judge. But the reality is if
you feel uncomfortable, you have every right
to say that’s not your friend, until you know
more. It’s time to turn up the dial.”
Those living in places like Daniel Island
need to be even more aware, added Lisa.
“In part we moved to Daniel Island because
we wanted a safe environment for our kids, so
they could get on their bikes and ride to get ice
cream and have a high school right next door...
but you’re not safe anywhere. Kids on Daniel
Island are vulnerable because they are kept

and is up for parole in October.
in a bubble. They are not as aware as kids in
other parts of Charleston of the dangers that
are out there.”
The Potts family had money and a beautiful
home, added Lisa, but nothing can replace the
connectivity of a family.
“When kids transition, they are more with
peers and less with you…That’s probably
the opposite of what you need to do…When
your child reaches teenagehood, keep them
as connected to your family as you possibly
can. That’s how kids survive today, because
the world that we grew up in doesn’t exist
anymore. It’s a very dangerous world.”
Paying attention, being engaged in your
teen’s life, and trusting your instincts, can
make all the difference, added Lisa.
“If you suspect that they are not making
good decisions, don’t let them go out there and
make them. My beautiful boy got an invitation
to intern at Johns Hopkins Hospital because
his pre-SAT scores were perfect. Now he’s
sitting in a correctional facility. And it started
with a summer of bad decisions.”
Looking back at her own experiences, Lisa
offered words of encouragement to parents
who suspect their teen may be struggling with
drugs.
“Most start experimenting at age 16,” she

Bishops dominate Porter-Gaud, 42-21
PHILIP M. BOWMAN
The Bishops broke
open a close game
with three scores in
the last 2:35 of the
first half.
The way Bishop England coach John
Cantey talked, there might have not been
enough game balls to award after Friday’s
42-21 victory over Porter-Gaud at Cantey
Stadium.
All 11 players on defense had a claim
to a game ball after forcing six Cyclone
turnovers, including a flurry at the end of
the first half and beginning of the second
half, as the Bishops broke open a close
game. The Bishops held the Cyclones to
nearly half of its seasonal scoring average
as Porter-Gaud fell to 3-1 on the season.
Then there was the play of quarterback
Leo Albano, who arguably had the best
game of his career. The lefty passed for a
career high 237 yards and three TDs, while
churning for 122 yards and another three
TDs on the ground as the Bishops improved
to 4-0 for the first time since 1977.
“I think Leo wanted to prove who was the
best quarterback on the field,” said Cantey,
a BE alum who was 3 years old back in
1977. “We loosen up the reins and let him
call the plays at the line of scrimmage and
he responds. They were stuffing the line of
scrimmage and he called all the correct audibles. He’s like having a coach on the field
who can see things a lot better than we can.
He just might be smarter than me.”
Albano, who completed 73 percent of his
passes, was masterful in a game that showcased two of the top quarterbacks in the
Lowcountry. Porter-Gaud features Oliver
Michaud. He completed 25-of-37 passes for
289 yards and a touchdown. However, he
threw three interceptions.
The Bishops broke open a close game
with three scores in the last 2:35 of the first
half.
Albano scored on a 29-yard run with 2:35
remaining. The Bishops weren’t through.
They recovered a pooch kick, and Albano
tossed an 18-yard TD pass to Zach Pampu.
The Bishops turned an interception into another score as Albano passed to Pampu for a
a 12-yard TD, and just like that, the Bishops
led 35-14 at halftime and were on their way
to their 17th victory against Porter-Gaud in
23 games.
Pampu was the big-play receiver Friday
night. He caught four passes for 119 yards
and three TDs. He was on the receiving
end of a 76-yard pass from Albano for the
Bishops’ first score.
It was the Bishops’ best passing effort
for a single game since 2011 when Danny
Croghan was the quarterback and the Bishops were en route to their first state championship in school history
Matthew Kraft led the Bishops with
seven tackles, including five solo. He also
recovered a fumble. Jack Grooms and
Sullivan Clair chipped in with six tackles.
Jacob Shiver, Christian Greavu and Adam
Milkuski all had interceptions.
The Bishops have three straight road
games on tap and won’t return home until
Oct. 14 when they host another intense
rival: Hanahan.
The Bishops travel to Woodland this
week and then board the bus for Academic
Magnet on Sept. 23. They have an open date
on Sept. 30 and then play at Lake Marion
on Oct. 7.

Olympic gold medalist Monica
Puig & World No. 9 Madison
Keys enter 2017 Volvo Car Open
Two of the world’s most exciting young tennis players have already committed to play in
the 2017 Volvo Car Open – Monica Puig and
Madison Keys.
Monica Puig will return to the Volvo Car
Open in 2017 for her fourth tournament in
Charleston. The World No. 34 made headlines
this year when she won the Olympic gold
medal in women’s singles in Rio, the first ever
for her home country of Puerto Rico. She also
reached the semifinals in Florianopolis, Eastbourne and Nottingham, as well as the finals in
Sydney.
Madison Keys, the 2015 finalist in Charleston and World No. 9, will also join the player
field for her fifth consecutive Volvo Car Open.
She holds an 8-4 record. The 21-year-old
American broke into the top 10 WTA rankings
in June 2016, and is in the midst of her best
tennis season to date. This year, she won her
second WTA title in Birmingham, reached the
semifinals of the Olympics and made it to the
4th round of every Grand Slam. In addition, she
made the finals in Montreal and Rome.
“I’m so excited to be returning to Charleston,” said Keys. “I love the atmosphere of the
tournament and how the crowd is really behind
me. I want to come back and have another shot
at winning the title!”

The Charleston Marathon (www.CharlestonMarathon.com) recently announced that Harris
Teeter (www.HarrisTeeter.com) will continue as
presenting sponsor for the 7th Annual Charleston Marathon. This fundraising event will be
held January 13-15, 2017 in Charleston and

that works to support equitable, quality fine arts
programming for Charleston Area Children.
“Over the past five years, Harris Teeter has
proudly supported the Charleston Marathon
as the Presenting Sponsor,” said Danna Jones,
Communications Manager for Harris Teeter.
“For Harris Teeter, being a part of the Charleston Marathon is meaningful as the commitment is two-fold; we have the opportunity to

Clemson University and the National
Park Service have released the Open Parks
Network, a digital gallery of rare and unique
material from the archives of the country’s
national parks, historic sites and battlefields.
The network’s website is growing perpetually
and currently features more than 100,000 highresolution, public domain images.
The project team added 40 photo albums
of material from Yellowstone National Park
to coincide with the National Park Service
Centennial on Aug. 25. Brett Wright, dean of
the Clemson University College of Behavioral,
Social and Health Sciences and project sponsor,
said the original idea for the network was born
from the desire of many park professionals
to create a seamless network of information
related to parks.
The network’s collections are mostly photographic, but also include architectural plans
and maps, all covering a wide range of topics
and eras. These collections have many potential
uses, such as interpretation and research that
deals with pre-park history and land acquisition
for park establishment. For professional park
managers and rangers, the collection serves as
a working body of documents to aid in park
infrastructure and maintenance.
The process required to build the collection took roughly six years, and the majority
of historical items were scanned at Clemson
Libraries’ Digital Imaging Lab. The team
coordinated and occasionally personally moved
large shipments of material to and from this
facility. If materials were too fragile to move,
the team was required to scan items on site.
These efforts resulted in the production of
nearly 350,000 digital items that continue to
be published online and added to the network’s
collections.
One of the most compelling collections that
showcases the public as park stakeholders is
the record of more than 141,000 names and
addresses of people who donated to create the
Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historical Park in the early 20th century. Through this
process of attaching information to material,

Volunteer-led tutoring program, reports strong reading progress
Reading Partners calls
for more community
tutors in 2016-17 to
expand impact
Provided
Reading Partners is a national nonprofit
organization that collaborates with local highpoverty elementary schools and mobilizes
community volunteers to provide K-5 students
with the proven, individualized reading support they need to read at grade level by fourth
grade.
In August of 2016 Reading Partners
Charleston became Reading Partners South
Carolina to better reflect the evolution of its
geographic service area and the attention its
program is receiving at the National level.
Reading Partners South Carolina was granted
generous funds from the South Carolina Legislature in coordination with the Department
of Education to serve as a reading pilot for
struggling readers in rural and urban, underresourced schools.
“We are excited about our transition to
Reading Partners South Carolina as it represents the expansion into three counties across
the state, as well as support and flexibility to
expand our program service area going forward. Rural education is an issue in this state,
in almost every county, and we are excited to
partner with the folks in Columbia to pilot our
program in more rural areas, while continuing to build upon our strong urban base,” says
Daniel Island resident Kecia Greenho, Executive Director of South Carolina.
In addition, the South Carolina AmeriCorps
Commission granted Reading Partners with
35 AmeriCorps members to help deepen and
expand the program’s impact in Charleston,
Berkeley, and Florence counties. The more
than $800,000 in funds provided by the State
Legislature and AmeriCorps Commission will
allow Reading Partners to serve more than 750
struggling readers at 17 schools in the 2016-17
school year with additional support from the
school districts, business communities and
private donors in the areas in which Reading
Partners South Carolina works.
More Volunteers Needed in
the 2016-17 School Year
According to the National Assessment
of Educational Progress, in 2015, only 21
percent of low-income students nationwide,
and 36 percent of students overall, are reading
proficiently by the fourth grade. This means
that nearly nine million low-income elementary school students are still learning to read
when they should instead be reading to learn.
Without developing the reading skills needed
to read on grade level, kids won’t have an
equitable chance to succeed in school or in
life. In fact, students who can’t read by the
end of third grade are four times more likely
to drop out of school or not earn a high school
diploma.
80 percent of third grade students living in
poverty in South Carolina do not read proficiently. Reading Partners engages the community in helping to solve this problem.
In the 2016-17 school year, Reading Partners South Carolina aims to match over 800
community volunteers with 750 struggling
readers. By tutoring a student one-on-one for
as little as an hour a week, volunteers can
make an impact that can quite literally alter the
course of a child’s educational experience and
life. “When you partner your gifts of time and
talents with the teachable spirit of a child who
needs a reading boost, you’ve got the winning
combination for growth, wonder, and personal
satisfaction” says long-time volunteer, and
Tutor Advisory Council member for Reading
Partners South Carolina, Lynne Fitzpatrick.
Lynne’s volunteerism over the past two years
has contributed to the success of the Reading
Partners program, which produces incredible
student results year after year.
2015-16 Results
Reading Partners prides itself on running a program that is both highly effective
and transparent. In that spirit, the nonprofit
organization issues annual impact reports
spotlighting national-level performance as well
as performance results in all 14 of its regions
across the country. The impact reports for the
2015-16 school year have recently been posted
on readingpartners.org and include the following highlights and many more.
In the South Carolina region: 728 students at
16 partner schools were matched with nearly
850 community volunteers who delivered
more than 21,500 tutoring sessions over the
course of the year; Among Reading Partners’
youngest students, 93% mastered key foundational reading skills needed to read at grade
level; Based on survey responses, 94% of
principals report improved school-wide reading progress, 99% of teachers report Reading
Partners is valuable to their school and 96% of
volunteers were satisfied with their experience.
The impressive student results highlighted
above and in the corresponding impact reports
would not be possible without the generous
participation of thousands of community
volunteers. To become a volunteer with Reading Partners, please visit readingpartners.org/
volunteer today.

34 food
oshing Locals serve up great sushi
Nir vana
Want to share your tale
of noshing nirvana?
The best thing
you ate all month
Suzanne Detar
[email protected]
This column is sponsored by Chase
Payne Law Firm and Paisley of Daniel
Island.
Bonnie McBee, who works on Daniel
Island, raves about Locals in Mount Pleasant. And, she has good reason. Bonnie’s
husband is part owner of the joint. But
don’t be skeptical because of the close
family relationship of this recommendation
- this writer can vouch for the great food
and atmosphere at Locals.
“The sushi is hands down the best in
town,” Bonnie said. The first time I ate at
Locals was at the suggestion of friends to
meet up for the half price Monday sushi
special. We arrived early, at 4:30, and it
was a good thing. By 5 pm, there wasn’t a
table available. The sushi was so fresh, it
melted in our mouths.
When describing the sushi, Bonnie
explained, “The fish and all the other ingredients are always extremely fresh and the
combination of foods and sauces together
is unique. They have a large selection of
rolls and even some with steak, just veggies and or with all cooked seafood, in case
rare isn’t your thing. All in all whatever
roll you choose will not disappoint!”
I was amazed at how fresh the sushi was
and at the generous size. We also enjoyed
the seaweed salad, which had an amazing
flavor. The menu also boasts hibachi and a
large selection of tacos.
The sushi prices are very reasonable,
especially on Monday, and there is a great
selection. The fish dominates the roll, with
only a minimal amount of rice. And, the
good news that Bonnie shared: “…they
recently just opened for lunch so now you
can get their delicious rolls for lunch or
dinner. Plus Mondays they have half off
sushi and Thursdays BOGO half price which means you can justify satisfying
your cravings several times a week. Ha,
ha!”
It’s simple – just respond to the following or go online at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/7VNR3ZT to answer
the same questions as here:
1) Where were you served the best
thing you ate all month?
2) What was the food that left
you speechless (mainly because you
couldn’t stop horking it down)?
3) Can you describe what made
the dish so magical? Be sure to speak
slowly...
4) Dish more on the dish, if you
can - price, portion size, availability on
regular menu, and the psychological
repercussions of consuming something
so rad.
5) Please email a photo of your todie-for dish and responses to the four
questions above (don’t leave any out!)
to [email protected].
