The Daniel Island News ■ April 14 - 20, 2016
Readers share their vivid memories from the Family Circle Cup
Editor’s Note: By the time you
read this edition of the paper, the
Volvo Car Open will be over. The
street will be open, the grounds
packed up, and our first memories
of the newly named tournament will
be fresh in our mind. Last week we
interviewed fans, residents, tournament staff and tournament volunteers and they shared their memories from the Family Circle Cup, in
a throwback tribute to one of the
longest standing names in tennis
sponsorships. The tournament, with
a new name, brought many of the
same great tournament happenings, along with a host of new and
improved offerings.
While I personally love the tournaments, the excitement it brings,
and the change of pace, not everyone agrees. But we sure did make
memories. Below are some memories from the Family Circle Cup that
our readers shared via survey.
The survey says:
“I was a volunteer a week before
the tournament started in 2001.
I was unpacking merchandise in
the pro shop while they were still
building the counters. Outside they
were laying bricks, planting grass
and trees and it never looked like it
would be ready for opening day. All
the newly hired pros were working
from 6am until midnight, my sonin-law being one of them. Amazingly, everything was perfect by
the deadline. My son-in-law, Mike
Baker, was chosen to be the hitting
partner all week for the eventual
winner, Jennifer Capriati. So many
great memories. I haven’t missed
a tournament nor hardly a day of it
since the opening.”
“My vivid memory was the first
year taking my young daughters
and them sitting on the grass next
to the practice courts. When the
players and their coaches came off
the court my daughters and their
friends asked the coaches for their

Winner of the Family Circle Cup was announced
In the April 14, 2011 issue of the
Daniel Island News, a new business
called “Passport to Daniel Island”
was launched on Daniel Island during the Family Circle Cup. According to island resident Steve Ferber,
who crafted the initiative with
fellow islander Colby Hollifield, the
Passport Program was designed to
introduce area residents to all that
the island has to offer – at the time 16 restaurants, plus dozens of shops
and exceptional service providers.
In sports news, it was reported
that Caroline Wozniacki won her
first Family Circle Cup. Ironically
she beat Elena Versina who was also
the runner up in this year’s Volvo
Car Open that ended this past Sunday with a new champion, Sloane
Stephens.

“When Serena Williams and I
were walking side by side down the
side walk…I realized how hopeless
her smaller female opponents must
feel when they have to play her.”
“Several friends from the local
Ashborough East tennis team in
Summerville attend the tournament
every year. One year, we attended
a luncheon with a great motivational speaker, Andrea Petkovic, and
enjoyed a delicious lunch, sipped
wine, and we each received new

luncheon speaker. After the lunch,
we watched Serena play an early
afternoon match (her father and his
son were on the sidelines).”

about Daniel Island but I decided to

I discussed details with the (very

In the April 13, 2006 issue of
the Daniel Island News, the front
cover depicted tennis player, Justin
Henin-Hardenne. At the time, the
23-year-old Belgian tennis star was
a heavy favorite after winning the
trophy three previous times at the
Family Circle Cup. However, the
outcome was not in her favor. The
winner that year was Nadia Petrova.

Our patients are talking...
Efficient, Professional practice – Mike P 2/24/16
This was my first visit to this office. The staff was friendly, polite and professional. The
whole process was efficient from start to finish
Filling – Ric T 2/23/16
Had a filling replaced. Painless and everything was explained during the procedure.
DANA BLALOCK, DDS
High quality service and professional staff – T Brown 2/20/16
Dr. Blalock and her staff are always attentive to the needs of the patient. I have gone in
for cleanings and more extensive dental work and each time I feel like a very cared for
patient. The atmosphere is amazing, providing distractions from music to tv during your
procedures. Dr. Blalock takes the time to explain things and follows up personally.
Excellent and prompt evaluation – TM 2/5/16
Best dental experience ever! More than pleased.
Just the best...again! P White 2/4/16
Another great visit to DID! As usual, Laura greeted me with a friendly hello as I walked in.
No sooner had I sat down when Angela came out to see me to my appointment. She made
short (but very thorough) work with my annual x-rays, and cleaning. After she completed
her work, Dr. Blalock came in and performed her exam. Of course they do a great job in
surprisingly a short amount of time but they really make the visit a nice experience. I never
looked forward to my next dental appointment before I started going to DID!

DINA members updated on construction projects and safety issues
Jennifer Johnston
[email protected]
Last week members of the Daniel Island
Neighborhood Association were briefed on
a variety of construction projects, safety
issues, crime, and on the plans and progress
of the Daniel Island Performing Arts Center
(DIPAC).
Following a brief approval of prior meeting’s minutes, treasurer’s report, and Daniel
Island police team 5’s recount of three recent
burglaries (two of the same golf cart at one
Smythe Park residence within 36 hours and
a break-in at the office of Bishop England
High School), DINA President Glenn Williman welcomed DIPAC founder and CEO
Mary Gould to the podium. For coverage of
the DIPAC presentation, see pages 32-33.
Moving on to remaining DINA business,
Williman announced that DINA would be
providing committee updates on a regular
basis through a “DINA Dashboard” column
in The Daniel Island News. He also reported
that a new “transition committee” was being formed for the purpose of researching
and facilitating the process of transitioning
Daniel Island from a community that is
developer-managed to one that is resident-
managed. DINA is seeking volunteers for
that new committee, as well as all others.
Stepping briefly to the podium, City of
Charleston Councilman Gary White stated
that he had met for an hour the previous
week with Mayor John Tecklenburg to discuss current Daniel Island area projects and
deliver to the new mayor a brief history on
the community’s initiatives and concerns.
“I’m glad to say that he’s on board with
all the projects we have going on,” expressed White, “and he is prepared to help
us move forward without any stumblings.”
Updating DINA on several capital
projects, White began with the Wando boat
landing. Following a late March meeting
with officials from the City of Charleston,
Berkeley County, and the Department
of Natural Resources, it was determined
that the City will manage the construction
project – which is expected to commence in
2017 – and Berkeley County will ultimately
manage the day-to-day operations of the
boat landing, White reported.
Other Daniel Island projects addressed
by Councilman White included an August
2016 expected completion for the new
pavilion at Freedom Park, the commence-
ment of a shoreline stabilization project
along the Wando River, an April 11 delivery
of first-run planning documents for an island
community center, continued enhancements
of Governors Park, replacement of Daniel
Island trail and bridge lights, and the City’s
receipt of full tree pruning responsibility
following a multi-year partnership with the
DINA tree trimming committee.
Speaking on the latter, tree trimming
committee chair Bob Sauer confirmed that
his group’s duties had been turned over to
the City of Charleston as of March 31. He
also explained that residents with trees of
concern can contact the City to determine if
the tree needs to be removed. If it does, the
homeowner incurs the cost of the replacement tree, but the City will pay for the old
tree removal and installation of the replacement. Sauer suggested that a resident pruning clinic could be in the works, provided
there is sufficient interest expressed.
Land use and zoning chair Clyde Rush
reported that the addition of two proposed
apartment projects (Four Corners adjacent
the BB&T building and the 210 River Landing property) would bring the number of
apartment complexes under development on
Daniel Island to seven, yielding 1,368 additional apartment units and approximately
2,700 new island residents.
As the final speaker of the evening, new
safety committee chair Marie Delcioppo
introduced herself and indicated that she has
already met with City officials regarding
island safety initiatives. She was pleased
to announce that the new school safety
program would commence on April 11, and
that volunteers were trained and ready to
man their morning and afternoon posts with
bright orange flags to bring more awareness
to both drivers and students. Delcioppo also
explained that the safety committee would
operate with four sub-committees going
forward, each of which was in need of volunteers: 1) school safety patrol, 2) pedestrians and cyclists, 3) new developments and
initiatives, and 4) maintenance.

or participating on a committee can visit the

Fit Culture celebrates grand opening on Daniel Island
ELIZABETH BUSH
[email protected]
Culture was born!”
The classes at Fit Culture are taught by
top instructors who come in to do “what they
do best,” said Sarah. That means putting on
great classes “that are worth your money
and deliver the results you are looking for,”
she added, whether that’s weight loss, toning, conditioning, stress relief, or just doing
something positive for yourself. In addition
to classes, the new space will also offer high
end athletic apparel for sale.
Sarah and Ben have always made fitness
an important part of their lives since they
met more than six years ago. As she writes
in one of her blog posts for the studio, the
pair enjoyed a hike along the Potomac River
on their first date, and a jog around DC
landmarks the next day. They hope their new
venture on Daniel Island helps clients “find
their fit” when it comes to living healthy mind, body and soul.
“Fitness was an immediate and important
point of connection for us, but, importantly,
it was never just about wanting to ‘look
good,’” writes Sarah. “Sure, that’s usually a
great upside of a consistent exercise routine,
but, what we care most about is how we
feel - the energy we have - when we’re fit.
As we have experienced in both our personal
and professional lives, fitness is a catalyst - a
regular habit that gives us the energy we
need to do the things we really want to do; to
be the person we really want to be.”
For more information on Fit Culture, including a list of upcoming classes, visit their
website at www.fitculture.org.
It’s time to get pumped, Daniel Island!
When it comes to fitness offerings, there’s
a new game in town that promises to take
healthier living to a whole new level. On
April 1, Daniel Island residents Sarah and
Ben Sands celebrated the grand opening of
their new Fit Culture studio, located at 186
Seven Farms Drive next to Tropical Smoothie Cafe.
On tap in the studio this month are classes
for power yoga, cardio kick-boxing, high
intensity interval training, pilates stick, barre
and more. According to a recent Fit Culture
blog post by Sarah, their goal is to have all
clients leave feeling alive, energized, strong,
happy and peaceful.
“Our idea was to bring world class fitness
to a world class community,” said Sarah.
The couple moved to the island from
Washington DC, where Sarah still owns a
specialty fitness studio. After relocating to
this area, they decided Daniel Island could
benefit from the same type of endeavor.
“The specialty fitness studios are really
trending upwards,” she added. The unique
thing about the new studios is they really
have a community vibe. They find friends
there, go with their friends, and it’s a place
where they can hang out, and do something
healthy other than eating and drinking.”
To determine whether the venture would
fly on Daniel Island, Ben and Sarah turned
to the community for some feedback. While
enjoying outdoor recreation time with their
young son, Jack, they did some “ad hoc”

Daniel Island residents advocate for
Art / Music / Justice event plan
Elizabeth Bush
Daniel Island residents Bill and Catherine Read
signed on as volunteers for the International
Justice Mission about 15 years ago. Passionate
about the cause, the pair has worked to bring
a “Charleston Concert for Justice” event to the
Lowcountry on Sunday, April 17 as part of the IJM
2016 Art Music Justice Tour. The evening promises to be “a special night of music, stories and
prayer in the fight to end modern-day slavery.”

asanthi was rescued from forced
labor slavery in Chennai, India. Griselda,
a 13 year- old sexual assault victim living
in Guatemala, was able to help bring her
attackers to justice. In Uganda, Grace was
protected when violent neighbors attempted to oust her from her home.
Although Daniel Island residents Bill
and Catherine Read don’t know these
victims personally, they have taken their
stories to heart. All three women found the
help they desperately needed from Inter-
national Justice Mission (IJM), the world’s
largest global anti-slavery organization
dedicated to investigating and intervening on behalf of victims of oppression.
Bill and Catherine, who moved to Daniel
Island from Vermont in 2008, signed on
as volunteers after attending an IJM event
approximately 15 years ago.
“What really hit us was that this isn’t just
about rescuing individuals, from the eight
year-old girls…to the women who have
their land taken away in Africa, or wherever they may be,” said Bill, a management consultant for Accenture. “It’s also
about affecting the justice systems in these
countries and helping with the training of
the police force…and then going after the
perpetrators.”
“Once I had heard the stories and knew
the names and faces, I felt compelled to
respond in some tangible way,” added
Catherine, who works locally as a spiritual
formation advisor to churches. “…IJM was
already on the front lines, fighting some
of the worst forms of violence, and their
model was working…They partner with
local authorities to rescue victims of violence, restore survivors, restrain criminals,
and represent survivors in court.”
The stories of Vasanthi, Griselda, and
Grace are featured on the IJM website,
along with a plethora of gut-wrenching
statistics. According to IJM, some 2 million
children are exploited in the global commercial sex trade, an estimated 36 million
people are held in slavery today (one in
four of those victims is a child), and about
90 percent of rural sub-Saharan Africans
have no proof of ownership for the land
where they live and work, making them
susceptible to criminal acts.
But there is good news to share. IJM
reports that it is making a difference on all
The International Justice Mission is working in 17 developing countries worldwide to protect s
police abuse of power. Their efforts are making a difference on all fronts. Thanks to IJM, more
fronts. Their work has resulted in bringing more than 900 perpetrators to justice
and, over the last seven years, the rescue
of some 2300 woman and children from
trafficking. After just four years of work
by IJM in Cebu, Philippines, there was a
79 percent drop in the number of minors
available for commercial sex. In 2015
alone, IJM rescued 4100 victims of modern
slavery and violent oppression and is currently protecting over 21 million around
the world.

some 21 million people from forced labor slavery, sex trafficking, property grabbing, and
e than 21,000 people have been relieved from oppression.
Bill and Catherine were so moved by the
progress of IJM that they began working
about a year ago to bring an inspirational
program to the Lowcountry that will raise
awareness about the organization and its
worldwide efforts. On Sunday evening,
April 17, at Second Presbyterian Church
on Meeting Street in downtown Charleston, IJM will host the “Charleston Concert
for Justice” as part of its 2016 Art Music
Justice Tour.
Dubbed in a press release as “an excit-
ing night of music and stories for a better
world,” the concert will feature acclaimed
Christian music singer/songwriters Brandon Heath, Sara Groves, and Jenny &
Tyler.
“Human trafficking is coming to the
forefront of America’s consciousness,” said
Heath, a Grammy nominated artist. “If we
can use our talents and our voices we can
inspire people to awareness and action.
Nobody is more effective than IJM in the
fight against slavery.”
“We’re honored to share the stage with
some of our favorite songwriters and join
in a conversation about the global reality of
injustice and the heroic, sometimes miraculous, stories of redemption and freedom,”
added duo Jenny & Tyler.
“In a world of bad news, it is a joy and a
privilege to bring these incredible stories of
rescue to people around the country,” said
Groves, a seven time Dove award nominee.
“This is Good News! And it’s good music!
I wanted to gather artists whose lives and
art point to the redemption of all things.
I’m looking forward to this tour!”
The event also serves another important
purpose, noted Bill. The effort has brought
together some 30 churches in the Charleston region to further the cause.
“This cross-denominational partnership is special,” he said. “It’s bringing
many people together, all with a common
interest in the fight against human trafficking, which is at the core of a lot of this, as
well as the violence that occurs, and the
slavery that often results…the extent of the
problem is far more than what many people
recognize.”
“I was horrified to discover the magnitude of the problem,” added Catherine.
“…Because laws are rarely enforced in
developing countries, criminals continue to

abuse the powerless at a particularly high
rate without fear of consequences.”
Both Bill and Catherine are strong
believers in the IJM mission and are
confident that the community will turn out
to support the event on April 17 at Second
Presbyterian, which is located just about
100 yards away from Mother Emanuel
Church, the site of a shooting resulting in
the tragic death of nine church members in
the summer of 2015. Charleston has proven
to be resilient and strong, noted Bill, and
deeply committed to healing and restoration.
The Reads hope the upcoming concert
will inspire people to get involved in the
IJM fight, so that victims like Vasanthi,
Griselda and Grace, will not have to suffer.
“I think the trajectory of the impact
that’s occurring here is wonderful,” added
Bill.

Stephens is in the driver’s seat, wins the 2016 Volvo Car Open
PHILIP M. BOWMAN
Sloane Stephens entered the interview
room at a pace somewhere in between a walk
and a jog. She told the sports journalists
who gathered for her coronation as the 2016
Volvo Car Open champion that she was in a
hurry.
Stephens defeated Russian Elena Vesnina
7-6 (4), 6-2 Sunday on center stage, which
happened to be the sun-drenched but windswept Billie Jean Stadium court. Now, she
was in a hurry to catch a flight that departed
Charleston International Airport at 6:45 p.m.
Sunday night. She was headed back to Los
Angeles so she could finally sleep in her own
bed after five grueling weeks on the road as
part of the WTA tour.
To be honest, Stephens had an alternative mode of transportation back to the West
Coast. But she didn’t know about it until
the awards ceremony. It might not have
been faster than a jet, but the interior was
more luxurious. She picked up a check for
$128,000 and the keys to a blue Volvo V60
Polestar, which costs north of $60,000.
“Did you all know I was going to get a
car?” Stephens asked reporters in the press
room after her win. “Me neither. That was

celebrates her victory!
crazy.”
Vesnina was just as surprised when Stephens won the car.
“I was just as shocked as well,” said
Vesnina, who was attempting to become the
first qualifier to win in Charleston. “I was
really happy for her. I even think we had the
same facial expression. As I told (tournament
director) Bob Moran, ‘if you would tell me
before the final that there is a car, maybe it
would be a different result. But he was like,
‘We have to keep it a secret. We’re trying to
keep it a secret.’”
Even a journalist appeared to be stunned
about the car prize based on their question:
“Are you taking it to Europe?”

one of her strongest phases of the game is her
putting. She also is a good driver, but we’re
not talking about cars. She can send the ball
230-240 yards down the fairway from the
men’s tees. Emma’s drives are straight and
consistent and usually travel 190-200 yards.
Not bad for a 12-year-old.
“I really like golf,” Abbey said. “Success

Update on Daniel Island PAC takes center stage at April DINA meeting
Jennifer Johnston
[email protected]
Having graciously deferred her presentation from the February meeting of the Daniel
Island Neighborhood Association (DINA),
which had run over with a highly charged
traffic circle discussion, Daniel Island Performing Arts Center (DIPAC) Founder and
CEO Mary Gould was rightfully given top
billing at last Tuesday’s DINA meeting at
the Church of the Holy Cross and provided a
thorough update on the project.
A “look” at the theatre
site plans, and a mark
of distinction
The DIPAC champion began by explaining that the renderings that have been used
to represent the project came from a collaboration with students from the Clemson
School of Architecture back in January 2015.
These visuals were created for the purpose
of “glossy marketing,” and are not meant to
reflect the ultimate design of the center. Local, professional architects will be contracted
for the project in the months ahead.
Going on to address the location of the
DIPAC, Gould joked, “We haven’t even
built, and we’ve moved!”
As recently as ninety days ago, the plan
was to build on River Landing Drive, behind
the UBS building. But with another commercial buyer interested in that same parcel,
Daniel Island Company President Matt Sloan
suggested DIPAC’s placement on Island
Park Drive across from Ristorante LIDI and
Laura Alberts would be better suited to the
kind of visibility and accessibility the center
will seek. The contract for the land has been
executed, and closing on this property is
expected to take place in early July 2016.
Next, Gould detailed some of the unique
attributes that would be afforded the DIPAC
as a League of Resident Theatres (LORT)

facility. As the only theatre in the state of
South Carolina with that distinction (the next
closest of the 72 nationwide are located in
Chapel Hill, Atlanta, and Sarasota), the Daniel Island PAC would be a true destination
theatre. With the prestigious LORT designation, the regional outfit would incubate
shows for Broadway, enjoy Tony Award
eligibility, and pay its performers Broadwaylevel equity wages. “Actors in Charleston
will finally be able to make a living at their
craft,” Gould pointed out. “This is huge. This
is going to value our artists as they should be
valued.” DIPAC shows will be cast with, and
produced by, primarily local talent.
Jennifer Johnston

theatre company is expected to close in early July.
Artistic – and economic – impact of the theatre
While the anchor tenant of the DIPAC
will be the LORT theatre, operating under
Gould’s South of Broadway Theatre Company, the facility will also be available for
other local arts organizations. With a main
theatre space of 444 seats, it will have an
intimate feel and support productions that
cannot take place in larger venues. Along
with plays and musicals, DIPAC will host
scores of other events, such as dance performances, film festivals, speaker series, and art
movies. There will also be a 99-seat “black
box theatre” with a flexible configuration,
and this area will be available for meeting
use as well. The design for the DIPAC is also
expected to include other rentable spaces and
catering kitchens.
The economic impact for Daniel Island
and the surrounding Charleston area is
expected to be significant. Gould shared that
the Barter Theatre in Abingdon, Virginia,
which is arguably the best comparable LORT
facility to that which will result here in Daniel Island, yields a $34 million annual impact
for its community. (As a comparison, Gould
notes that the annual economic impact of the
recent Volvo Car Open tennis tournament is
approximately $30 million.)
The DIPAC will also have a department
dedicated to theatre education, including a
full complement of classes for all ages and

DIPAC IS GAINING MOMENTUM

across such disciplines as acting, dancing, and voice. Special
outreach will be provided through
South of Broadway Theatre Company’s “My Ticket to the Arts” program, which provides event tickets
to at-risk youth and their families.
Gould will continue to offer her
2005-founded “Summer in the
City” artistic residency summer
program through the new theatre,
allowing young performers to “polish” their talent during a month at
The Juilliard School in New York
City. And DIPAC will hold three
two-week summer camp sessions
as well.
The DIPAC’s way forward
Over the past six months, Gould
has been holding focus groups and
assembling a 26-person Advisory
Committee in an effort to ensure
that the project moves forward in
a manner most embraced by its
neighborhood stakeholders. In
terms of fundraising, the DIPAC
Founders’ Circle was introduced
in the fall of 2015, with “patron”
giving levels ranging from $50 to
over $10,000. The Founders’ Circle
is closing in on its first fundraising
goal.
Gould explained that the overall
project is well into Phase 3, which
serves primarily to raise the initial
$1 million needed to purchase land,
complete regulatory and architectural requirements, and begin
construction. The DIPAC Advisory
Committee has begun the process
of selecting a capital campaign
manager to oversee the procurement of the additional $9 million
needed to complete the project as
it moves into Phase 4. The DIPAC
is projecting a 2019-20 inaugural
season.
Gould stated that several corporate sponsors have expressed
interest in helping to fund the new
theatre, provided they are able to
ascertain that the community is
“totally in favor” of it.
“When I say ‘supporting the
project,’ I’m not just talking about
monetarily,” she clarifies. “I’m

talking with your probation, your
enthusiasm, your excitement. That
is as important to us as any donation we will ever get. We need to
know that the Daniel Island community is behind us.”
Addressing various questions
from the DINA audience, Gould
stated that the LORT designation is
maintained through box office receipts, regular season ticket prices
are expected to be around $55 per
seat per show, and the property
will allow for the City-mandated
one parking spot for every six
theatre seats. She also shared that
the DIPAC will be casting South
Carolina actors alongside “some
really well-known names” in an effort to help those local artists build
their networks, and an in-house
playwright lab will encourage new
works.
The new DIPAC website will be
up and running within a couple of
weeks; in the meantime, a temporary site is available for Founders’
Circle registration: www.danielislandpac.com. Lastly, a “Have One
on Us!” cocktail party fundraiser
is taking place at the Daniel Island
Club’s Ashley Cottage on May 3 at
6 p.m.
Suggested Gould, “Come and
drink, but bring your checkbook,
too!”
