Park Day began on Daniel Island in 2001 as a
way for island residents to come together and enjoy some good old fashioned homegrown fun while
showcasing the various features of the community,
most notably the family-friendly and picturesque
parks. That first year, attendees biked and walked
to multiple park locations around the island. Soon
after, the festivities shifted to Children’s Park,
where they remained for several years before
switching over to Governors Park in 2012.

Dismal 1.1 percent of DI precinct voters
turn out for municipal election
In the November 10, 2005
edition of the paper our cover
and centerfold featured a Garden and Art Tour: A street of
newly constructed upscale custom
homes served as a canvas for a
special event on Daniel Island
that benefitted the lowcountry
affiliate of the Susan G. Komen
Breast Cancer Foundation. Unlike
typical show house formats, the
“Garden and Art Tour on Daniel
Island” showcased modern day
interpretations of the lifestyle and
cultural aspects for which historic
Charleston is renowned, including
art, architecture, gardens, outdoor
living, food and entertaining.
In other top news, only 30 Daniel Island precinct voters turned
out to vote in the municipal elections. There were 2,672 registered voters in the Daniel Island
precinct, making voter turnout at
a dismal 1.1 percent. Poll workers
said they had little to do as voters
trickled in to cast their ballots.

Do Not Litter
I did see your mention of the Halloween
trash in your pre-Halloween edition. Thank you
for trying. There have still been a lot of candy
wrappers, juice boxes, and water bottles on the
streets. Maybe you’ll educate some more? If
only people would look outside of their yards
and pick up the trash they have to see! Trash on
the roads is especially disconcerting as it does
end up in our waterways.
Last week I picked up trash on the Wando riverbank in front of my house and my neighbor’s
homes (just one house on either side of mine.)
One thing I picked up was an empty sand bag.
It was completely full when I finished. I did not
throw it away yet in case you’d like to see some
of the things I sadly found.
We have such a wonderful place to live; let’s
show some Daniel Island pride and not litter.

@HJPCharleston
Hayden has helped me buy and sell several rental
properties over the past five years. You’ll notice
right away he is gregarious and energetic. After
working with him, you’ll find he also is professional, patient, fair, knowledgeable and efficient.
He has used those attributes to build relationships
and develop a tremendous network of contacts,
including repeat customers, agents who trust
him, inspectors and contractors who can solve
most problems. Twice, Hayden brought me great
properties that weren’t even listed yet that I was
able to purchase quickly at below market prices.
As well, he twice brought ready buyers on condos
when I was just thinking about selling. On one, I
had a contract three days after telling him I might
want to sell and we closed the day after my tenant
moved out. Not every transaction can go this well,
but Hayden’s knowledge of the market, interpersonal skills, problem solving super powers and
legion of contacts will give you options you won’t
get with any other agent.

Park Day is Saturday, November 14
“It comes as no surprise that Children’s
Park, the original venue for the event for
many years, has been the favorite location
of many,” added McLaughlin. “We decided
that we wanted to come back to its roots and
host the event along the beautiful Wando
River. Also, because this day benefits charities that help children among others, we felt
it was appropriate to bring it back ‘home’ to
Children’s Park after spending three years at
Governors Park.”
Over the years, it is estimated that some
100,000 people have attended Park Day,
with an average annual turnout of about
6,000 to 7,000 in recent years. The event has
grown considerably since its beginnings and
it now takes about a full year to complete
all of the preparations for the big day, added
McLaughlin.
“Planning for Park Day involves not only
the organizing committee, but it involves the
City of Charleston, Charleston Police and
Fire Department, EMT’s and coordination
this year with around 160 various vendors,
entertainers, non-profits and sponsors.”
McLaughlin and her team have been

This weekend offers education and resources

“Charleston Animal Society has been a

Voters will head back to the polls for a run-off election in the Mayoral and City Council District 1 races
From runoff election on PAGE 02
Pinkston has been endorsed by the Post
and Courier, the Charleston City Paper, and
Senator Larry Grooms. White has received
an endorsement from the Charleston Metro
Chamber of Commerce and is a recommended candidate by the Charleston Trident
Association of Realtors. On Monday White
also received endorsements from City of
Charleston Councilmembers Marvin Wagner,
P. Keith Waring, Michael Seekings, Aubry
Alexander, Bill Moody and Kathleen Wilson.
Breaking down the vote
While White won in the district’s downtown precincts with 57.86 percent of the
votes compared to Pinkston’s 42.13 percent,
Pinkston led on Daniel Island with 53.24
percent. White led overall in the Cainhoy
area precincts (Cainhoy, Yellow House and
the Village) with 94 votes over Pinkston’s
78.
A vote certification session was held on
November 5 by the Municipal Election
Commission for the City of Charleston to
consider some 100 provisional ballots cast
in the November 3 election. A total of 57
ballots citywide were counted of that total,
including one additional vote for Pinkston.
According to Charleston County Board of
Elections and Voter Registration staff members, the Daniel Island/Cainhoy area had just
three provisional ballots submitted overall.
White stated last Friday that there was a
bit of confusion on election day for some
off-island voters who were turned away at
the polls because their names could not be
found in registration records. A couple from
The Peninsula neighborhood off Clements
Ferry Road showed up at the election certification session last week to tell Commission
members that they first went to vote at their
normal polling site, St. Paul Baptist Church,
but were informed that they would need to
vote at Daniel Island School. Once there,
they said they were told by a poll worker that
they were not listed as registered voters in
the system. As a result, they were unable to
cast their ballots (it was ultimately determined they were registered in the wrong
precinct and will be allowed to vote in the
next election).
“I was a little distraught that a lot of the
Cainhoy area residents weren’t sure where
to go,” added White. “…We did a lot of
work throughout the day trying to make sure
people who lived in the area knew how to
make sure they could vote. It was confusing
and disappointing, but hopefully for the runoff it will be fine.”
Pinkston said he spoke about the issue
of voter confusion at last week’s meeting
of the Municipal Election Commission and
was assured by board members that they
would look into it. In some cases, he added,
residents who went to vote on November 3
were told they were not registered and were
not given an opportunity to cast a provisional
ballot.
“Election officials and city attorneys
have informed me that poll workers will
allow provisional ballots to be cast in the
run-off,” Pinkston said. “Every vote matters
and everyone’s voice ought to be heard. I
understand the frustration of those who were
disenfranchised and am glad this issue has
been addressed prior to the run-off. For
those who were turned away, please gather
any and all paperwork proving you are a
resident of Charleston and bring it with you
to the polls.”
The average voter turnout on November 3
for Daniel Island and Cainhoy area precincts
combined was close to 25 percent. Anyone
with questions about the upcoming run-off
election can visit the Berkeley County Voter
Registration and Elections website at https://

Operation Christmas Child recipient shares story
Izabella McMillon visits Charleston area to spotlight ministry
ELIZABETH BUSH
[email protected]
When Izabella McMillon thinks about her
days growing up as a child in communist
Romania, she remembers life wasn’t easy. Her
parents were hardworking people who spent all
day in the local factories while she and her older
brother were left to fend for themselves.
“We got up at 5:30 a.m.,” she recalled. “And
we were responsible for getting up with an
alarm clock on our own. Get ready, eat breakfast, go to school, come home, eat lunch, do
our homework and go to bed. So that’s just how
life looked for us. It wasn’t because my parents
were neglectful. That’s just what everyone had
to do to survive.”
But one day, when Izabella was just seven
years old, their seemingly robotic existence was
jolted by a special discovery. Hidden under a
rug in their home, she and her brother found a
Bible…and they began to read.
“I cannot even tell you the amazement this
book brought!” said Izabella. “We had no toys at
home and only three books, and we knew them
inside and out, so this was pretty exciting!”
But when the young siblings told their parents
about what they had found, their father instructed them to put the book back and not tell any-
one. In Romania at the time, where they were
not free to worship or go to church, reading the
Bible would surely have negative consequences.
Still, Izabella and her brother were drawn to the
stories they had started reading. They continued
to seek out the book, and the light it shined in
their otherwise bleak world.
“We snuck it out every day,” she said. “I just
remember going home and rushing to get our
homework done so we could get to this book
and the next story!”
A few years later, when Izabella was in fifth
grade, she heard about an underground church
that was meeting in a nearby home. She eventually convinced her father to allow her to go.
There, she learned that the same book she had
been reading from in her home was being used
by the pastor. She started asking deeper questions about the stories.
“When I look back at that part of my life, I
could see how God was working in me, way
before I knew who he was,” she said, while
speaking last week to a group of educators at
Coastal Christian Preparatory School in Mount
Pleasant.
At age 13, Izabella started to yearn for a more
personal relationship with God. She decided to
ask her pastor how to pray. The pastor was a bit

McMillon received a snow globe in a box
from Operation Christmas Child. She recently visited the area to share her story.
cautious when people started asking questions,
because sometimes the government would
send spies into churches to find dissenters. But
Izabella had earned his trust.
“He made it so simple,” she added. “He just
said you just talk to God like he is sitting right
there next to you, like he’s your best friend.
You just tell him what’s in your heart and he
will answer.”
So Izabella did just that. It was September,
the start of an excruciatingly cold winter in
Romania. The only way kids could have any
fun, she recalled, was if it snowed. That way
they could go outside and play, instead of going
to bed early. It was all Izabella wanted, so she
lifted up her prayers for snow just as her pastor
had instructed. But no answer came. Two and
a half months later, in early December, she told
her pastor that God wasn’t listening.
“I said, ‘You know, this prayer thing doesn’t
work,’ and he set me down that day and he
said ‘Izabella, let me tell you something…God
always answers prayers but not always in the
way we imagined…Don’t you ever give up on
him.’”
Three weeks later, a violent revolution began
in Romania and hundreds of thousands of
people sacrificed their lives and were shot to
death in a matter of hours in the streets. Those
were harsh days, Izabella recalled, and a difficult time for all. But about a day after it ended,
the citizens were free from communist control.
It was two days before Christmas, and Izabella
still did not have her snow. She was ready to
give up on her prayer and on God.
On December 26 of that year, everything
changed for Izabella. She noticed people were
running in the streets. In her Romanian town,

that usually meant it was time to line up at the
grocery store to receive their monthly portions it could be a dozen eggs or a pound of sugar.
“For us those were exciting times because we
would stand in line and we would get something
that we didn’t have!” said Izabella. “My favorite
snack was a piece of bread with a little butter on
it and a little sprinkle of sugar. That was good
stuff!”
So Izabella and her family started running
with the crowd, only they passed the grocery
store and ended up in the center of town.
“People were coming from all directions,”
she said. “It was so exciting! And they were
saying ‘trucks are coming, trucks are coming!’
What had started happening in our little country
was that people realized our borders are now
open, the iron curtain had fallen down, and now
we can come in and love on these people.”
Trucks started to pull in and opened to reveals
hundreds and hundreds of colorful boxes. Izabella had never seen anything like that before.
“We all wore black, dark blue and brown,”
she said. “That’s all you could ever buy, that’s
all we ever had. You always walked with your
head down on the street and no one ever smiled.
That was just typical for Romania, and here
were these people coming off these trucks
smiling and starting to give out these colorful
things!”
One of the women on the trucks approached
Izabella and asked if she could pray with her.
Afterwards, she handed Izabella a shoebox.
“I was left with this box in my hands and I
was mesmerized by all the color. I am opening
this box and I am noticing all of these beautiful
things, and there was one thing in there that I
will never forget.”
As Izabella was sharing her story with the
teachers at Coastal Christian last week, she
reached behind her and picked up a small,
sparkling item - a snow globe that has long
since lost some of its contents, but not any of its
meaning.
“God answers prayers, but his prayers don’t
always look the same as we imagined,” she told
the group, remembering the first time she shook
the globe and watched silver sparkles float about
inside. “I wanted beautiful white flakes from the
sky, but I think what God knew about my heart
was that I was ready to give up on him and he
stepped in…And it came in the form of this really, really cheap plastic snow globe, in a really
colorful box. All it took was for me to open up
my eyes and realize that.”
What Izabella received that day in Romania,
unbeknownst to her at the time, was a box from
Operation Christmas Child, a project of Samaritan’s Purse that has delivered more than 124
million gift-filled shoeboxes to children in more
than 150 countries since 1993.
Years later, while teaching at a Christian
school in North Carolina, Izabella received a
brochure on OCC and was asked to help get her

Izabella McMillon, shown with her family, works full-time for OCC in Charlotte and

students excited about participating in collection
efforts for the ministry. It wasn’t until she noticed the colorful boxes on the brochure that she
realized it was the same program that changed
her life all those years ago. Today, she works
full-time for OCC in Charlotte and speaks about
the ministry at engagements all over the country.
In 2010, she and her husband had an opportunity to return to Romania to deliver shoeboxes
to orphans.
“Here I was for the first time on the other end
of the box,” she recalled, her eyes welling up
with tears. “I know how it is to receive a box…
but how blessed are we to be giving and not
receiving?”
With eight million shoeboxes packed each
year and distributed all over the world, Izabella
was amazed to see among the many boxes
two that she and her family had packed back
at home. How the packages ended up on this
particular distribution is definitely something
that was God-ordained, she said. For there, in
this place, she spotted a 13 year old girl named
Maria who was the same age Izabella was when
she received her OCC shoebox. She picked up
one of the boxes she packed and walked over to
deliver it.
“I wanted her to experience what I experienced when I was 13,” said Izabella. “…When
she opens the box, the first thing she sees is our
picture and the letter we wrote her, and we are
standing right there! I gave her a big hug and
said, ‘Maria, I just want you to know that we
did not pack all of these boxes. For some reason
God wanted you to have exactly the one we
packed.’”
Izabella found out later that Maria’s biggest
desire in life was for somebody to love her for
ten minutes, and for her to have a picture of
those people.
“It’s not about us,” recalled Izabella. “It’s
about what God can do in the hearts of people…
Everything that goes into the boxes is super fun,
but what comes out is eternal.”

Child will be held on Daniel Island at Holy
Cross Church on Saturday, November 21. For

wasn’t until 2011 that Island Eye Care started
seeing more “off-island” patients than residents
of Daniel Island, and it was this shift that delivered the confidence to expand the office.
“It seems when you are contemplating
expanding, it’s almost impossible to time it
perfectly,” he concedes. “With the expected

community we were in allowed for growth.”

with corrective vision, Dr. Turner always aimed
to put an emphasis on children’s eye care in
his professional service. He is a member of
InfantSEE, which provides free eye exams for
children under the age of one, and routinely
performs eye screenings at local academies and
elementary schools. Dr. Turner has been a part
of the “Adopt a Teacher” program at Daniel
Island School since its inception, and teaches
eye dissection to three eighth grade science
classes each year. Of course, his commitment to
adult vision care is just as keen, and Dr. Turner
has also served patients at local nursing homes,
rendering care for those unable to travel to an
optometrist.
With a lover of lenses at the helm, it was
perhaps no surprise that after just six years,
Island Eye Care had South Carolina’s largest
contact lens inventory. Dr. Turner’s contact lens
patient base continues to grow, and he receives
referrals from up and down the Carolina
coastline. His passion for, and expertise with,
contact lenses landed Dr. Turner an invitation
to serve as a professional speaker for Johnson
& Johnson’s contact lens division in 2011.
Island Eye Care offers one of the largest
lens recycling programs in the state. When
daily lens wearers return a year’s worth of their
blister packs in the practice-provided recyclable bag, they are awarded with a ticket to
a Charleston Battery soccer game. Island Eye

The doctor, his wife Erin, and their 14
month-old daughter Lucy remain residents
of Daniel Island. They are regular fixtures on
the running/cycling circuit of pathways and
trails, with a buggy in tow, of course. Today,
Dr. Turner sees many of the families that were
among his inaugural patrons, though few, if
any, are wearing the same frames.
“In 2005, everything in the glasses world
was about small,” he recollects. “Today, it’s the
exact opposite; glasses keep getting bigger.”
And though the human eyeball has not necessarily changed in the last decade, technology
has. “Medications change, equipment changes,
contact lenses change, and outcomes are improving,” Dr. Turner states. “I’m excited for the
next ten years.”
Looking back evokes the same level of
positive emotions. Reminiscing about some of
the more humorous client anecdotes, without
getting himself into hot water, Dr. Turner rattles
off a few that leap to mind. “Many types of animals have accompanied their owners (including
some interesting bird owners), a few patients
have taken off shirts to show off new tattoos,
and there are hundreds of conversations that put
a smile on my face just thinking about them.
While an eye exam is very similar for most
interactions, the differences in people are what
keep us fascinated every day.”
Three Crutches That Will Sink Your Leadership
management
moment
Doug Dickerson
I don’t know any other way to lead but by
example – Don Shula
A turkey is chatting with a bull, “I would
love to be able to get to the top of that tree,”
sighed the turkey, “but I haven’t got the
energy.”
“Well,” replied the bull, “why don’t you
nibble on some of my droppings? They’re
packed with nutrients.”
The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and
found that that it actually gave him enough
strength to reach the lowest branch of the
tree. The next day, after eating more dung,
he reached the second branch. Finally after
a fourth night, there he was proudly perched
at the top of the tree. But he was promptly
spotted by a hunter, who shot him down out
of the tree.
The moral of the story: BS might get you
to the top, but it won’t keep you there.
One of the worst mistakes aspiring leaders
make is the quest to get to the “top” without
the benefit of the wisdom and leadership
skills necessary to sustain them once they
do. So instead of relying on strong leadership and relational skills they fall back on
crutches that do more harm than good. Here
are three of the most common crutches that
will sink your leadership.
The crutch of your position
This is perhaps one of the most common
crutches aspiring leaders depend on. It’s
much too easy to throw your weight around
as a leader by playing the “positon” card
rather than putting in the time to develop
stronger leadership skills. It’s much easier
to issue decrees from behind closed doors
than it is to get out from behind the desk
and build relationships and get to know your
people.
Your position is not the end game of your
leadership – it’s the beginning. Your position
is not your destination. Positons come and
go and at the end of the day what matters is
that you have skill sets in place that render
your position or title as secondary compared
to the extra-ordinary influence you have that
is born out of relationships.
Leadership Tip: The harder you work at
developing your skill sets with people the
less you will have to rely on your position.
The crutch of entitlement
The crutch of entitlement is the by-
product of the crutch of your position. Once
a leader has bought-in to the belief that he
or she has arrived simply based upon a title
is the day he or she begins to develop a
sense of entitlement that they believe their
title confers. This is a devastating view of
leadership.
Here’s the truth- the higher you ascend in
your organizational structure and the more
your leadership influence will grow and the
more responsibility you will have. It’s not a
power grab for your personal entitlement, it
is a call to servant leadership. It’s not about
what’s in it for you, it’s about growing others around you.
Leadership Tip: The measure of your
leadership is not about what you believe you
are entitled to but in how you can serve others more effectively.
The crutch of the rule book
The crutch of the rule book is one of the
most detrimental crutches that a leader can
evoke in his or her organization. It is the
crutch that stifles creativity, which builds
walls instead of bridges, and puts the lid of
growth. The crutch of the rule book lives
by “the manual says…” instead of igniting
creative and imaginative thinking.
Howard Behar, the former president of
Starbucks International, espouses a “play
book” instead of a rule book, and I agree.
It’s when your people are empowered and
trusted that they will shine the brightest. A
play book is empowering and is based on
trust. Beyond that, it gives you options. A
rule book locks you in and is tightly controlled.
Leadership Tip: Develop a play book with
your team. Foster a culture of innovation
and creativity. Be a leader who unleashes
the potential of your people.
Here’s one last take-away about leadership and crutches that I’ve learned over the
years. Getting rid of the crutches is like
taking the training wheels off a bike. At first,
you may think you can’t ride the bike without them but in due time you will wonder
why you held on to them for so long.
Whatever your leadership crutch may bedare to identify it, and dare to let it go. You
will be glad you did.

Hanahan and Bishop England football each have home field in first round of playoffs
Be boys finish fifth, girls sixth
in state cross country meet
PHILIP M. BOWMAN
There’s no place like home.
That might be the subject of football conversation at Bishop England and Hanahan High
Schools after both teams won region championships over the weekend to guarantee at least
two home games in the playoffs, which kick off
Friday.
Hanahan, Region 8-AAA champ, will host
Brookland-Cayce in a playoff game, while
Bishop England, Region 6-AA champ, will
entertain Lake Marion at Jack Cantey Stadium.
Both games are slated for 7:30 p.m. kickoffs.
Hanahan coach Charlie Patterson says his
practices will differ slightly this week than
the ones during the regular season as his team
prepares to battle Brookland-Cayce, which is
coached by Rusty Charpia, who has coached in
the Lowcountry at James Island and Woodland.
“To me, at this point in the year, it’s more
mental than physical,” said Patterson, whose
team has the energy of a five-game winning
streak. “Our approach at this time of the year is
to keep them fresh and focused.”
The Bishops are 6-4, including 5-0 in region
play. The Bishops also have a full head of
steam, outscoring foes 196-54 in the last five
games.
The Bishops are seeking their third state title
Sophomore Jordahl

since winning back-to-back crowns in 2011-12.
Quarterback Leo Albano leads the Bishops
offense. He has rushed for 996 yards and 15
touches. He has accounted for 24 TDs in the
season, completing 38-98 for 532 yards and
nine TDs.

has 68 tackles, including 49 solo stops.
If Bishop England wins Friday, the Bishops
would host the winner of the Wade HamptonLoris game. If the Hawks win Friday, they
would host the winner of the GeorgetownDarlington game.
State cross country
The Bishop England boys finished in fifth
place in Saturday’s Class AA state cross country
meet, but better days appear to be ahead.
The Bishops’ top two finishers, Sam Boykin
and Aiden Richter are freshmen, while Nick
DiBona and Luke Vettel are juniors. The only
top runner who graduates is Ben Feller.
Academic Magnet won the boys’crown
with 29 points to top second-place finisher
Wade Hampton, which scored 98. The Bishops
claimed fifth with 118.
Boykin covered the Sandhills Research
Center Course in 16 minutes and 50 seconds,
which was good for third place overall in the individual competition, Classmate Aiden Richter
ran a 16:56 to claim fifth place.
DiBona finished 27th while Feller was 37th
and Vettel 47th.
The Bishop girls claimed sixth place with
155 points. Waccamaw won the girls’ title
with 53 points to cruise past Landrum, which
finished with 92 points.
Sophomore Jordahl Kennedy led the Bishops
with a 10th place finish overall with a time of
20.43.
Denise Devanney was 18th with a time of
21.20. JoJo Tompkins was 32nd in 21.57. Anna
Navarro finished 51st and Caroline Strickler
was 58th.
Hilton Head captured both the boys’ and
girls’ titles in Class AAA. The Hawk boys
finished 19th in the team standing while the
Hanahan girls were 14th.

Hanahan stops Hilton Head in controversial final play of the game
Hawks win region, set to host Brookland-Cayce in first round of playoffs
The Hanahan Hawks are the Region
8-AAA football champions. The

finale Friday night.
PHILIP M. BOWMAN
The Hanahan Hawks are the Region
8-AAA football champions. The Hawks
posted a 49-45 victory over Hilton Head in
the regular-season finale Friday night. The
game included plenty of big plays, excitement and controversy.
Controversey erupted over the final play
of the game. The Seahawks had the ball on
the Hawks’ 4-yardline with seven seconds
left in the game. Quarterback Aidan Hegarty
scrambled and slipped on the wet field and
threw what appeared to be the winning
touchdown pass. But the officials ruled his
knee touched down on the 10-yard line, ending the game, which was played in a drizzle
and fog.
The Hawks finished the regular season
with an 8-2 record, including 5-0 in conference play. Hilton Head fell to 9-1, 4-1.
The Hawks trailed 24-7 in the first half,
rallied to get back into the game only to find
themselves still down by a 45-34 count. But
they scored the last 15 points of the game to
pick up their fifth consecutive victory.
“It was a heck of a ballgame,” said
Hanahan coach Charlie Patterson, whose
team hosts Brookland-Cayce in the first
round of the playoffs. “We didn’t get off to
a great start, but we didn’t quit. I am very
proud of those kids. I’ve been a coach for 28
years and was an assistant at Gaffney when
they won state championships. But I’m as
proud of this team as any I’ve been associated with. They showed a lot of pride and
character.”
And talent.
Quarterback Victor Colbert began the
game with one completion in seven attempts, but completed 15 of his final 20
passes. He threw for 258 yards and two
touchdowns. Wide receiver Samuel Denmark cemented his status as one of the
state’s top playmakers with more than 220
all-purpose yards including a 65-yard TD
run. But the play that had Patterson shaking
his head in amazement was a screen pass
to Samuel Denmark that he turned into an
80-yard TD.
“He must have ran at least 150 yards on
that play,” Patterson said. “He caught the
pass on one sideline cut across all the way
to the other sideline and then cut across the
middle of the field. I told my coaches there
aren’t too many players in South Carolina
who could make that play. He’s got a lot of
talent, a lot of speed. That guy can run.”
The Hawks scored two times in the final
5:15 of the game to claim victory. Special
teams play gave the Hawks great field position on the first scoring drive. Cyrone White
ripped off a 24-yrad run, and Colbert passed
to Denmark for the 2-point conversion.
The Hawks weren’t done. Denmark
showed his skills with the screen pass,
weaving in and out of traffic to hit paydirt
with 1:40 left in the game. Hilton Head
countered with the final drive of the game
that included the controversial TD that the
officials ruled against.

Lawsuit and counterclaim filed
over Kovach ‘Yes 4 Schools’ case
Attorney General seeks a hearing
before judge in the criminal case
ELIZABETH BUSH
[email protected]
The legal battles continue over the
handling of the Berkeley County School
District’s “Yes 4 Schools” campaign and a
subsequent criminal investigation into ethical misconduct.
In the last several weeks, a civil lawsuit
and a counterclaim have been filed as a
result of the case - the first by Amy Kovach,
the district’s former communications and
community relations director, and the second, a response and counterclaim filed by
Berkeley County Councilman and local attorney Josh Whitley, who is among several
defendants named in Kovach’s suit. Additionally, Assistant Deputy Attorney General
Creighton Waters has asked the judge in the
criminal case for a hearing concerning the
allegations in Kovach’s civil lawsuit.
Kovach plead guilty on August 28 to one
count of common law misconduct in office
and one count of using government resources to influence an election, a violation of the
South Carolina Ethics Act. After admitting
to the crimes against her under oath, Kovach was sentenced to a total of six years in
prison on both counts, which was suspended
to two years’ probation, and a $25,000 fine
for the ethics violation. Two forgery charges
and one perjury charge were dismissed.
On October 15, about six weeks after her
conviction, Kovach filed suit against the
Berkeley County School District, among
other defendants, through her attorney
Nancy Bloodgood, alleging breaches of the
covenant of “good faith and fair dealing”
and fiduciary duty, as well as gross negligence and misrepresentation. In the filing,
Kovach alleges that the district wrongfully
terminated her on September 8, after her
conviction, and states that the district “was
well advised of all details of her work and
that individual Board Members were often
present with her at community meetings”
related to the Yes 4 Schools campaign.
According to the suit, Kovach claims
she never exceeded the authority she was
given by the Berkeley County School Board
(BCSB) or acted in any manner other than
pursuant to the BCSB’s directives.
The complaint notes that Kovach, after
receiving “no support” from the BCSD,
eventually plead guilty to the criminal
charges because she had “to end the criminal proceedings for her own mental health,”
yet she “had only ever done as instructed”
by the district. “Withstanding a trial, including the extended publicity, was simply not
mentally or emotionally feasible for Plaintiff or her family,” the complaint states.

In the complaint, Kovach alleges she was
told repeatedly by district officials and legal
counsel that she had done nothing wrong.
The district, which reportedly paid over
$300,000 towards Kovach’s legal expenses,
as well as her salary over the course of the
investigation, released the following statement about the filing.
“Berkeley County School District is
saddened by Ms. Amy Kovach’s lawsuit alleging that the District failed to sufficiently
support her in her recent prosecution by the
Attorney General’s office. On the contrary,
as repeatedly stated by the District, the
District has sought to fully respect the rights
of its employees, including Ms. Kovach,
involved in the Attorney General’s office’s
prosecution and investigation relating to
the 2012 school improvement bond referendum. In an effort to meet its obligations
to Ms. Kovach, the District has funded her
legal defense with regard to the indictment
under the Ethics Act brought against her,
even though the District has been repeatedly
criticized by many citizens for doing so.”
In the suit, Kovach also called into question the Attorney General’s handling of the
case, stating in part that he sought to “make
an example” of her while turning a head to
many other similarly situated “entities.”
“Even though numerous elected officials
and school district employees routinely
support school bond referendums and did
so in 2012 at the same time as the Berkeley
County School District, only a few BCSD
district employees, including the Plaintiff,
apparently were of any interest to the At-
torney General,” stated the filing.
Kovach’s complaint also alleges that the
State Law Enforcement Division (SLED)
falsified documents, and that the Attorney
General’s office manufactured charges in
the case - although neither were named as
defendants in her suit. In addition, Kovach
stated in the filing that the Attorney General’s prosecution has been “devastating to
her and her family” and that she has “lost all
ability to practice at her previously successful career.” The publicity over the case has
resulted in “severe distress and damage” the
suit continued, and Kovach “cannot shop
or use services in Berkeley County without
someone saying something mean to her.”
Soon after its filing, Kovach’s suit caught
the attention of the Attorney General’s
Office. On October 28, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Creighton Waters, one of the
prosecutors on her case, fired off a letter to
the Honorable Jeffrey Young, who presided
over Kovach’s conviction and sentencing in August. In the letter, Waters wrote
that in the suit are “a number of false and
objectively disprovable claims regarding her
criminal conduct as well as the handling of
the case by SLED and the AGs office.”
“Not only were the facts I related to
the Court accurate and supported by an
extensive review of the evidence,” continued Waters, “but Kovach admitted to them
under oath.”
Waters asked the Judge for a hearing before the Court with Kovach and her counsel
to address “these very serious concerns.”
Also named in Kovach’s suit and accused of “civil conspiracy” are Whitley;
the Berkeley County Republican Party, of
which Whitley is a former Chair; former
BCSD Board Members Scott Marino and
Terry Hardesty; and Karen Whitley, mother
to Josh and a district associate superintendent who was recently appointed principal

of the new Philip Simmons Elementary
School.
Kovach claims in her suit that Josh
Whitley directed his complaints to a “close
friend” in the Attorney General’s office to
receive special attention on the case - and
that his efforts were in large part retribution for district personnel matters involving
his mother and his sister, who reportedly
did not receive a principal position she was
seeking. Whitley has denied those claims.
In addition, Kovach stated in the suit that
Whitley played an “active and inappropriate role” in the SLED investigation and
that he “publicly disparaged” Kovach using
inaccurate information for the purpose of
“intimidating and harming” her. Hardesty is
also accused of “civil assault” in the suit, relating to an alleged altercation that Kovach
states occurred at a polling site on the day
of the bond referendum election.
“First and foremost I categorically deny
Ms. Kovach’s claims against me,” said
Hardesty, when asked to comment on the
suit. “This is simply a frivolous lawsuit that
I believe will quickly be dismissed…”
Karen Whitley’s attorney, Howell Morrison, is confident the case against his client
will also be dismissed.
“We have spoken with plaintiff’s counsel
and are hopeful that Dr. Karen Whitley will
be dismissed from the case quickly before it
consumes any more of her time and resources,” said Morrison. “Karen Whitley is first
and foremost a dedicated teacher and has no
interest in disputing with Amy Kovach why
she did what she admitted doing.”
Attorney Stephen Brown, who is representing Marino, said his client will “vigorously defend the frivolous claim against
him.”
Josh Whitley files responses
to Kovach suit
Last week, Josh Whitley answered the
claims made against him by Kovach by
filing a series of legal retorts, including a
counterclaim and motions for sanctions
against her attorney and dismissal of the
case. In the submission, he denies Ko-
vach was wrongfully terminated by the
school district because she is a “convicted
criminal,” a title he used to identify Kovach
throughout his filing.
“It would be unprecedented for Plaintiff’s
employment to continue based on her convictions,” he stated.
Whitley also claimed that the convictions
demonstrate “the frivolous nature of the
Plaintiff’s lawsuit” and Kovach is merely
seeking “to avoid the consequences of her
criminal misconduct and guilty plea by
blaming the concerned citizen who worked
to bring her misconduct to light.” He also
denies that the Berkeley County Republican
Party (BCRP) had “any role whatsoever in
the opposition to the referendum,” as alleged by Kovach in the lawsuit.
Additionally, Whitley alleges that both
Kovach and former BCSD Superintendent
Rodney Thompson committed defamation
for their alleged actions towards him during
the investigation.
Whitley also named Bloodgood in his
motion for sanctions, alleging she either
failed to review the transcript of Kovach’s
sworn testimony when she entered her
guilty pleas, or “chose to ignore it.” When
asked for comment on the matter, Bloodgood would say only that she did “read the
transcript.”
As for the “civil conspiracy” claim,
Whitley stated in his response that Kovach
and her attorney failed to provide factual
evidence to support the claim, thus he has
asked for the suit to be dismissed.
Whitley said that he is unable to comment
on pending legal matters, but that “the filings speak loudly for themselves.”
Kovach is seeking actual, equitable and
punitive damages, attorney fees, and other
costs, as well as other relief deemed appropriate by the court.
In his countersuit, Whitley is seeking a
hearing to dismiss the case and to revoke
Kovach’s probation, as well as payment for
his costs and attorney fees. He also asked
that monies paid to Kovach by the district
(her attorney fees and salary during the
investigation) be returned to taxpayers.

New Principal named for Philip Simmons Elementary School
ELIZABETH BUSH
[email protected]
In an unanimous vote by the Berkeley
County School Board, Dr. Karen Whitley has been named Principal of the new
Philip Simmons Elementary School.
Whitley, who currently serves as Associate Superintendent of Pupil Services
and Program Support for the Berkeley
County School District (BCSD), was
asked by interim Superintendent Mike
Turner to consider the appointment in
light of the need for the district to have
“one of its most experienced educators
open the new school,” according to a
BCSD press release. Philip Simmons
Elementary School is expected to utilize
a cutting-edge STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math)
curriculum as well as innovative technology. Whitley has served the BCSD since
1977 in a number of capacities, including
teacher, assistant principal at Marrington
Middle School, principal of Berkeley
Elementary, supervisor of elementary
schools, and chief academic officer.

allow her to hit the ground running and
make the new Philip Simmons Elementary an excellent school for our children.

For Whitley, the move to a principalship at Philip Simmons Elementary

to working directly with students and

had,” she stated. “I am so honored to be
opening Philip Simmons Elementary, and
given this position of trust to lead what
is already a strong community-oriented
school that will boast state-of-the-art
facilities and curriculum,” she said.
Whitley will assume her new duties
in January of 2016 to prepare for the
school’s official opening in August. The
district is in the process of selecting a
principal for Philip Simmons Middle
School, which will share a campus with
PSES.
Wonder Works’ holiday ‘Elfstravaganza’
is this Saturday at the Belle Hall store
The holiday season is here, and that means
festivals, shows, excitement and more! But one
extravaganza of sorts to attend is a little more
“elfie” than others. That being Wonder Works
Elfstravaganza! This free, family festival will
be held at Wonder Works in Belle Hall Shopping Center in Mount Pleasant on Saturday,
November 14, 2015 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
In its fifth year, Elfstravaganza celebrates
the spirit of the holiday season with a day
filled with free activities, holiday treats, and
the favorite toys that will top every child’s
Christmas list.
With more than 20 national toy companies in
attendance, a plethora of toys and games will
be out for children to play with and let their
imaginations run wild. The Crayola Coloring
Tent, Mattel Building World, face painting,
writing letters to Santa, decorating cookies, and
more free activities will be available all day for
event goers. And, a lot of Star Wars surprises
will be in store including a visit from the official 501st Legion Carolina Garrison.
This holiday event wouldn’t be complete
without photos with everyone’s favorite Elf on
the Shelf, while Chanda Bell, author of The
Elf on the Shelf®: A Christmas Tradition will
be signing copies of her beloved book. To top
it off, every child in attendance will receive a
free toy.
But what makes this day more magical is
that it is held on “Neighborhood Toy Store
Day”, where toy stores across the country celebrate the joy and magic of the holidays while
giving back to their area communities.
“At the heart of Elfstravaganza, we celebrate
the community’s spirit during the holiday sea-

WHEN: Saturday, November 14, 2015
TIME: 9 am – 2 pm
WHERE: Wonder Works in

Center, Long Point Rd.)
son. We have local toy makers, local charities,
local vendors, local artists, and local entertainment,” said Christine Osborne, owner of
Wonder Works Toy Stores.
Local charities will also host activity stations
to raise money for their causes including Keys
for Hope, Hugs for Harper, Samaritan’s Purse,
and MUSC Children’s Hospital. Parents and
children will be in awe of the live magic shows
from local, teen magician Caleb Alexander.
This young gentleman is now a national
sensation and has been seen on Jimmy Fallon
and Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas, to name a
couple. Other popular Charleston artists will
perform live music includfing Haley Mae
Campbell and the Lauren Hall Band.
Islanders don’t need to worry about missing
the fun, because the event has been moved earlier in the day to accommodate Daniel Island
Park Day goers. “We invite everyone to come
to experience the magic of Elfstravaganza
before or after you leave Park Day,” added
Osborne.
Free Parking for Elfstravaganza is available
at Belle Hall Shopping Center and Seacoast
Church. For more information on activities and
fun visit www.WonderWorksToys.com.
