Guns stolen from CaInhoy store

A stockpile of weapons disappeared from a Cainhoy area gun store on Sunday, August 7. According to the incident report filed by the Berkeley County Sheriff’s Department (BCSD), some 38 guns of various types were stolen from Coastal Firearms on Cainhoy Road between 12:20 a.m. and 12:40 a.m. After an alarm on site was activated, deputies with BCSD and officers with Team 5 of the City of Charleston Police Department were dispatched to respond to a potential “burglary in progress.” An initial inspection of the scene outside did not reveal signs of forced entry. According to the report, a CPD officer discov-ered that entry had been made into the build-ing from a hole in the roof. Once inside the store, deputies and officers observed damage to the ceiling and broken glass in multiple gun showcases. No suspects were found. The CPD SWAT/Quick Response Team also assisted on scene. Anyone with information about the crime is asked to contact the BCSD at (843) 719-4412 or Crime Stoppers of the Lowcoun-try at 1-888-CRIME-SC (1-888-274-6372). thIef strIkes durInG ChurCh servICe

The BCSD is also asking for the public’s

assistance in identifying a suspect involved in a vehicle break-in at Charity Church on Cainhoy Road in the Huger area. On August 1, deputies responded to the scene after re-ceiving a call that someone broke into the car in the parking lot while church members were attending services. An incident report stated that the suspect, who was caught on surveil-lance footage, broke out a rear passenger window and stole approximately $350 worth of items from the vehicle. Described as a 35 to 45 year-old African-American male wear-ing a light colored shirt and shorts, the suspect was reportedly driving a dark colored full size SUV that is likely a 1990-2000 GMC Yukon or Cadillac Escalade.

“It’s just terrible that this suspect chose to prey on people while they were worship-ping,” stated Sheriff Duane Lewis in a press release on the incident. “This person needs to be caught and the citizens have been so great with helping us identify criminals – we really hope that someone is able to help us identify this suspect.”

Detectives ask that anyone who may be able to assist them in their investigation call them at (843) 719-4412 or Crime Stoppers of the Lowcountry at 1-888-CRIME-SC (1-888-274-6372).stolen vehICles found

The vehicle was unlocked at the time of the theft and there was no sign of forced entry, according to the report filed. ConCert-Goer CIted for dIsor-derly ConduCt

nIGhttIme vIsIbIlIty at seven farms and danIel Island drIves needs to Improve

It seems only a matter of time before a human tragedy occurs during evening hours on our main street (Seven Farms Drive) between the fire station and the church corner. Around 9 pm Saturday evening, a young family was crossing the road between Orlando’s and the Episcopal Church corner. The adult was standing in the middle of the traffic lane and we almost struck him! Thankfully, we were able to stop in time

and no one was traveling behind us. They were barely visible in the dark and NOT in a cross-walk, which is just a few yards down on the corner.

With the poor street lighting, I don’t think pedestrians realize how hard it is to see them crossing the street, especially when there are the bright lights from the oncoming traffic reflect-ing on a car’s windshield. I shudder to think how their lives, as well as our lives, could have changed in an instant! The family proceeded to cross in the poor visibility even as there were a

great many cars traveling toward them.We would like to suggest much stronger street

lighting along Seven Farms Drive, as well as police enforcement of pedestrians to use the designated crosswalks (especially during the evening hours). We realize the City of Charles-ton has already taken steps to make the street safer by adding the crosswalks and lowering the speed limit, but the nighttime visibility is still a serious safety issue.

When it comes to bike safety on Daniel Island, this is where the rubber meets the road. The Charleston Police Department, Cooper River Cycles and the Daniel Island Neigh-borhood Association (DINA) are hoping to roll students into the new school year with a few lessons designed to promote safe biking practices.

On Friday, August 26, Daniel Island School students and their families are invited to “Bike to School with a Cop.” The program kicks off at 7 a.m. at Pierce Park Pool with bike and helmet inspections by Cooper River Cycles and safety tips from Team 5 officers. Juice and bagels will also be provided.

“I was amazed by the amount of children who ride their bikes to school every day,” said Sgt. Chris Morrell, who started working for Team 5 on the island last January and is helping to organize the August 26 event. “We wanted to do something starting with the littlest kids. We decided that standing up in front of them and giving them a lecture on safety rules, they’re gonna tune us out in probably two minutes. We figured, let’s do something fun!”

At 7:30 a.m., kids, officers and other com-munity members will ride down Pierce Street together to the school.

“We’ll follow different safety guidelines,

stopping at stop signs…and crossing with the crossing guard as we walk across the street,” continued Morrell. “…When we were looking at different programs we could do, we were trying to find something outside the box and I couldn’t find anything, anywhere like this event. So we thought this would be a great, brand new initiative!”

Organizers of the event are largely target-ing elementary school-aged children in hopes that by building habits early, the lessons will stick. Gage Cooper of Cooper River Cycles has assisted with other bike safety events in the past, but he believes this one will be even more

effective.“Rather than just going to a parking lot with

cones, they’ll actually be riding the route they are going to ride and crossing at the same road they cross every day,” said Cooper. “I think we’re just trying to do the ‘monkey see, mon-key do’ thing. Show them how. The crossing guards are very adamant about keeping people stopped and crossing the right way, and they do a great job, but if the kids don’t follow that, or if they don’t know they can cross at this road or that road, then it’s kind of a lost cause.”

Cooper said that since his shop opened up on the island about a year and a half ago, he has had lots of customers come in with bikes that aren’t safe.

“Tires that aren’t inflated, loose handle bars - it’s just the little things that can make a big difference in safety right off the top,” he added. “Brakes that work. Tires that roll and stop…So we’re just trying to bring awareness to how to ride safe and how to get to school safely each day.”

With a number of bike and pedestrian ac-cidents involving kids on the island over the years, Sgt. Morrell is confident the event will help curb further problems.

“A big part of our job is traffic safety on the island,” he said. “This is our biggest goal - to not only build a safe environment for the children to ride and safe habits, but also maybe

just an interaction with us, too. And give them a chance to see us face to face and have fun with us, instead of just seeing us on the normal basis.”

“Events like this are vital to the safety of our community for a multitude of reasons,” added Marie Delcioppo, DINA Safety Chair. “First, Sgt. Morrell is not only re-enforcing safety practices that children are learning at home and school but is also leading by example. Furthermore, we know that the tighter the bond between law enforcement and residents, the safer the community is. Sgt. Morrell and all the officers at Team 5 are doing an incredible job at developing that solid relationship — and this event is a fine example of that.”

If all goes well for the upcoming event, organizers hope to plan a similar program in the spring of 2017.

We continue our ongoing “Daniel Island Family” series with the Holmes family of Scott Street. Cindy Holmes’ warm, welcom-ing smile and outgoing demeanor are instantly recognizable, especially to the many families who’ve come to depend on her calm, efficient directions at the busy front desk of the Daniel Island School. Husband - and best friend - George, is a successful financial planner in Mt. Pleasant. When the Holmes aren’t working, they’re often busy hosting events at their home on Scott Street - or visiting with close-knit family and friends in the neighbor-hood. We managed to catch Cindy and George in a rare hour of down-time over the July 4th weekend, with dogs Gypsy, Ashley, and cat Ernie.

Can you tell us a little about your family?I have worked at the front desk at the Dan-

iel Island School since its opening in 2005. Before that, I worked as a real-estate assistant and a receptionist for a local chiropractor on the island, and as a front-desk clerk at Hanahan Elementary. I’ve been married to George (Holmes) for twelve years. I have two children by my late husband, Mike O’Grady who died in a plane crash in 2000 when my kids were little.

My eldest child, Julie, now 22, just gradu-ated from the College of Charleston with a degree in Education, and is now teaching sec-ond grade at Chicora Elementary in Charles-ton County. My son Justin, now 19, is going into his second year of Southwestern Iowa Community College and will be transferring to Iowa State, where he plans to graduate with a degree in Business Agriculture. This summer Justin is on an internship surveying the land and analyzing soil samples. His heart is in working the land in Iowa, where we lived when Mike died.

I grew up as an Air Force brat. My dad, a Colonel, was a fighter pilot in the Air Force for 30 years. My family lived in Atlanta, Alabama, Virginia, Texas, Pennsylvania, Germany, England and Korea, where I met my first husband, Mike. As an Air Force wife, I lived in New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Idaho, Nevada, Alaska, Tucson and Iowa.

how did you two meet? George holmes: I grew up in Raleigh,

NC, but when I was young, my dad moved the family to upstate New York. I couldn’t wait to come back south. After graduating from Vir-ginia Tech in 1997, I moved to Charleston and joined the Air Force as a 141 pilot, until 2002,

when I got my Masters in Business Admin-istration at the Citadel. It was then that I met Cindy through a friend and financial planner that we both happened to use. Cindy and I became friends first, just talking military talk. It was just a common language for both of us. Two years later, I decided to try this marriage thing. All of a sudden I became a husband and father with a brand new house and a new career. It was unreal.

how has all that moving around helped to shape who you are today?

Ch: I think it’s helped make me good at what I do - welcoming everyone at the front office at the school. I know how good it feels to feel welcomed when you’re new some-where because I was new somewhere my whole life.

Gh: Cindy’s always comfortable at walk-ing up to people to say hello to them. She’s always had to make new friends.

Why did you choose daniel Island as a place to live?

In 2001, six months after Mike died, I moved back to the south with my two chil-dren. I’m from Atlanta, originally. My sister (Kathy Cole who currently works at Island Expressions on Daniel Island) was living in

Mount Pleasant. Although my parents were living in Alabama, they were planning to move into a house they’d already bought here on Daniel Island. My mom suggested we look here, too.

At that time, there wasn’t much here on the island. No Publix. No Episcopal Church. Etiwan Park wasn’t even completed. The only place to get milk was the mini-mart at Teck-lenberg’s Gas Station, with its “Happy Days” style diner where you could get hamburgers and sandwiches. And Smythe Park was just all woods. I fell in love with Daniel Island right away.

From FAMIlY on PAGE 10Meet the Holmes family

The island was so much smaller back then, exactly what I needed at the time. It was kind of like living on an Air Force base. I didn’t feel like I was trying to transplant into a neighborhood where everyone had been living for a while. Everyone was a newcomer here. It was a place where I could meet ev-erybody and know that I wasn’t alone. Daniel Island was a place I could call “home”.

What drew you to the particular neigh-borhood you live in now?

This neighborhood, and Codner’s Ferry, which was basically all of Daniel Island at the time - was a lot of fun. Friday nights, different families would take turns inviting neighbors over to their house. There were always “Happy Hours” or “Wives Coffee” events at someone’s house. It was just one big group back then. Some of these gather-ings still take place on my part of Scott Street where most of the residents are still “origi-nals”. And, of course, we all get together every year to watch Super Bowl Sunday and celebrate New Year’s Eve.

What attracted you to the house you live in now?

The backyard! I didn’t even have to look upstairs to know I wanted this house, a resale, two years old when I bought it. As soon as I looked out the back window, I told myself ‘That’s what I want to look at every-day!” There was a pond, and trees all around. When I look outside I feel like I’m in the country. I couldn’t find this view anywhere else.

do you plan to move anywhere else? on Daniel Island - or off?

At one point we thought about it. After we got married, we needed more room. At first, we thought about moving into George’s place - a huge house on a cul de sac in Brickyard Plantation, but I would have had to move the kids to a different school and I really didn’t want to do that. So then we looked at other houses here on Daniel Island. We kept com-ing back to this house. There’s just no way we could match what we have on Scott Street for the past 15 years. We ended up expanding the kitchen, adding on a master bedroom, a guest bedroom and an office for George.

Gh: This was all at the beginning of the housing boom, so we probably made a smart financial move as well.

Where do you like to hang out? Ch: Our back porch is our favorite place

to hang out. Otherwise, we like to going to my mom’s house or one of our neighbors’ houses. We also enjoy walks to Bellinger Island (at the end of Beresford Creek Street).

do you prefer to eat out or stay in and cook?

Ch: It’s too expensive to go out anymore.

We can do steaks on the grill and a bottle of wine for just $20 at home! But I do enjoy go-ing to Laura Alberts. We went there the first day the restaurant opened.

Gh: And we love going to Concerts at the Volvo Center. We’ll have dinner across the street at Dragon Palace and enjoy a leisurely stroll home.

do you have a family tradition? Ch: Fried chicken on the boat or at

Scott Park pool. And when family comes to visit, we always have boiled shrimp, sliced tomatoes and corn. Sometimes, we go to a family reunion in Iowa with the O’Grady’s or visit George’s relatives in North Carolina and Vermont.

What are you reading right now? Ch: I’m making my way through Robin

Carr’s “Virgin River” series. It’s about a family of four military brothers. It’s also a love story.

any movies you’ve enjoyed recently?Ch: We loved “The Martian”, with Matt

Damon. We also want to go see “Finding Dory” and “Tarzan”.

have you travelled anywhere recently? Ch: We just got back from Andros Island,

in Greece, visiting a friend of my mom’s. It’s just beautiful. And the people there are won-derful. They are very selfless. They make you feel part of the family while you’re there and go out of their way to help you, especially if you’re a foreigner. You just don’t find that a lot in America. We tend to be rude. Except here on Daniel Island, where, if you’re away for a while, shop owners will always ask where you’ve been.

What’s the best advice you’ve ever received?

Gh: My dad told me when I was 18, “decide what kind of a person you want to be. You can either “pay interest” or “collect” it. I always liked giving financial advice, even before I became a financial planner, so I guess you could say I “collected interest.” It pays off after a while.

Ch: For me, it’s been “When one door closes, another one always opens. I’ve al-ways found that to be true.

STEpHAnIE W. MAckArA, JDCharleston Investment Advisors

When I was first out of college, I worked as an associate broker at Merrill Lynch. One of my jobs was to service the lead advisor’s clients; he did most of the investing and I helped to man-age clients and service them.

One very wealthy client, Dr. Brown from Schenectady New York, was my favorite. He would call every morning between breakfast and his morning nap. Our phone conversations would last between 5 – 20 minutes in length. The conversations ranged from him regaling

his life experiences, reading me excerpts of the latest book he was reading, sharing loss, singing me his favorite songs or teaching me Yiddish words like mashugana, shayna maidel and mentsh. I adored him. I was 24 years old and Dr. Brown was in his late 80’s.

Our morning calls lasted for just about a year until he fell sick and could no longer call. I thoroughly enjoyed our phone calls, but it is not until now, some 20 years later that I realize what he was really sharing with me.

Dr. Brown had a very successful medi-cal career, raised two sons who took over his

medical practice and was a leader in the Jewish community. Dr. Brown talked to me and shared his life with me, because frankly, everyone else around him was too busy to pay attention to an old man. I wish I would have recorded our calls, I wish I would have written down his many words of wisdom…not for my benefit, but for the benefit of his family. How they would love, after 20 years of his passing to hear his voice, and understand the essential truths he learned over his lifetime.

Most of my days I now spend with my own clients helping them invest and plan wisely so they may be able to lead the life they desire while still on this earth. We spend an inordinate amount of time planning for the unknowns, making sure we don’t run out of money and planning for when we are gone so that our money and possessions transfer according to our desires.

Recently I have been thinking a great deal about Dr. Brown and my own father who died suddenly at 60, wondering why we spend more time worrying about where our “things” go, rather than making sure the lessons of our life and our values are passed to future generations along with our valuables.

An ethical will is a personal document cre-ated in order for a person to leave their values, experiences and life lessons to their family. Coincidently, like Dr. Brown, an ethical will

is of Jewish heritage. Ethical wills have a very long history, but are not as common today. Traditionally, these were written by the elder and presented to the family after the individual was gone. The documents were cherished and the blessings were kept and shared by everyone in the current and future generations. Why did such a meaningful tradition end? When did we stop valuing and sharing the lessons or our an-cestors? Have we gotten so busy that the stories of where we come from and how our family was created no longer hold our interest?

We all need to unplug, stop and slow down. During the summer months we tend to spend quality time with family and friends. I encour-age those of you who are lucky enough to still have your parents and grandparents --- take the time to learn from them. Create an ethical will together. Take the time to record your loved one’s stories, understand their struggles and what they truly value in life. Interview them, ask questions and record their words. For those of you who are retired, take the time to reflect on your life and what it is you wish future gen-erations to carry on from you—document it and share it with you family. A great resource for questions and content is legacyproject.org. We all have a story to tell, let’s get started.

“The way you delegate is that first you have to hire people that you really have confidence in. You won’t truly let those people feel a sense of autonomy if you don’t have confidence in them.” – Robert Pozen

In part II of our series on the changing work environment we tackle the topic of au-tonomy. Gone are the days when employees were willing to show up at the factory, follow orders being dictated by management, collect a paycheck, and then do it all again tomor-row. Employees aren’t mindless machines and they don’t want to be treated as such. What does It look lIke?

In the changing work environment, employees are demanding more autonomy. In this new environment, employees have control over how their own work tasks get accomplished. They are trusted and encour-aged to make decisions and to act in the best interest of the organization without being micromanaged. Why Is It Important?

Providing autonomy shows employees that you have confidence in their judgment and ability. This inspires employees to take ownership of their work. When employees have control over their own work they are more satisfied, they take pride in the contri-bution, and they become loyally invested in the success of their team, department, and organization.hoW do We do It?

Many management teams struggle to let go of the control they have become accus-tomed to for all of these years. Old ways and mindsets can be hard to overcome. Here are six ACTION steps to help you think through your current operations and to embrace autonomy.

acknowledge the challenge of autonomy. It is critical here to understand the difference between the autonomy of the work while remaining true to the mission and vision of the organization. The two are not in competi-tion but when done right are a compliment to one another.

Coalesce around the best ideas for autonomy. The mistake leaders make is that their idea of how it looks should prevail. But as one company leader explained it, “The one who sweeps the floor picks the broom.” How autonomy looks in your organization should

be determined by those closest to the work. tweak along the way. Ideas that look

good on paper may not play out well in real-ity. Don’t be afraid to go back to the draw-ing board as you flesh out what is and is not working for you. There is no “one size fits all” approach for how autonomy works. The key here is to be flexible and be willing to make adjustments as needed.

Invest in their success. Greater autonomy in the workplace is reinforced by leaders who have the backs of their people by empower-ing them and setting them up for success. Invest in your people. Put the tools and resources in their hands they need to succeed. The greater the investment the greater the autonomy. Be generous.

ownership is a requirement. Embrac-ing the autonomous workplace is great. But now comes the buy-in that makes it all work. Ownership, like loyalty, is a two-way street. In this model ownership is shared, trust is mutual, expectations are clear, and outcomes are measured. It’s an “all-in” attitude that if not fully subscribed to will derail all efforts of a truly autonomous workplace. Without ownership there is no autonomy.

next step – In order to attract and retain the best talent, your organization must offer a level of autonomy. You must provide your employees with the training and resources they need to be successful and then you must step aside and allow them to do their jobs. Show them that you have confidence in them. But, you can’t stop here. Once you have acknowledged the attitudes that are holding you back; have intentionally created a work-place culture; shown employees that you trust them; have identified incremental changes you can make; and observed the impact of those changes, it’s time to take the next step.

Be on the lookout next week for part III of The Changing Work Environment Series: Providing Choice.

The Hanahan Hawks remain in Class AAA for the 2016 football season, but will play in a new region.

Coach Charlie Patterson and his squad are hoping the results will remain the same.

The Hawks went 8-3 last autumn and won the Region 8-AAA championship. The Hawks have one of the best region records in the state the past six years, posting a 29-1 record.

This year, the Hawks will face a major region roadmap. Bishop England, Lake Marion, Timber-land, Oceanside Academy and Manning will join the Hawks as members of the new Region 8-AAA. Timberland, BE and Manning all have recent state championships attached to their respective resumes. Oceanside Academy, located in Mount Pleasant, is a new school.

Patterson will talk to his team about his team’s success in region play once league play begins.

“But at some point, it’s time to move beyond that,” Patterson, said.

Patterson is in his ninth season at the helm of the program. He replaced Jeff Cruce as coach, and admitted it took the Hawks a couple of seasons to adjust and buy into his program. Since the first couple rocky seasons, the Hawks have been elite.

“A lot of people questioned whether we could compete in (Class) AAA when we made the move a few years ago,” Patterson said. “Midway through my third year, things started to click. We haven’t reached our ultimate goal of playing in the state championship. But we’ve had teams capable of do-ing just that. But anything can happen when you get into the playoffs.”

If defense wins championships, 2016 might just be a rebuilding year for the Hawks, who return only three starters on defense.

But Patterson has seen an improvement during fall practice and scrimmages.

The 2015 team featured some great football – and track and field – athletes. Gone are WR Samuel Denmark, LB Tre Smalls and DL Dominique

Green. All three were all-state in two sports.Six starters return on offense, including quarter-

back Victor Colbert, who passed for 1,500 yards last year.

“Victor has worked hard,” Patterson said. “He’s worked hard and has put a lot of time in during the offseason. He just has to continue to make good decisions.”

Patterson has coached two elite wide receivers at Hanahan: Denmark and Chris Brown, who went on to star at Notre Dame and is now trying to earn a spot on the Dallas Cowboys’ roster.

This year, the Hawks will count on three wide receivers to get the job done: Jamie Watson, Aaron

Manley, and Javante Grant.Jerry Bailey has been steady at running back,

while Quincy Mitchell has all the potential to be a star at the position. He’s also a returning starter on defense.

Two offensive linemen in DeAngelo Bailey and Devitt Lor return as starters. They must help the inexperienced lineman mature.

Watson will also play defense. Defensive end Tyler Duncan, at 6-2, 250, has the potential to be all-region.

The Hawks kick off the season at home Friday against May River, a new school located in Bluff-ton.

pHILIp M. BOWMAnJohn Cantey has been connected to the Bishop Eng-

land football program all 42 years of his life.His father, Jack, is a high school football coaching

legend in South Carolina. Cantey was on the sidelines just about the time he could walk, helping keep track of the football and handing out water bottles to thirsty players. No, he didn’t recommend any plays to pops.

He also played quarterback at BE and graduated in 1992. He soon became an assistant, and finally was named head coach back in 2008.

Since then, he’s made a name for himself and could retire with the distinction of being one-half of the greatest father-son coaching combos in state history.

Need proof?Cantey is the second longest tenured football coach

at BE and is second in all-time wins with a 63-33 re-cord in eight years at the school. The biggest feather in the younger Cantey’s cap is two state championships, including 2011, the first in the school’s proud history. His team repeated the accomplishment the following year.

But Cantey has little time to reflect as the Bishops move up to Class AAA this season. The schedule is loaded with tough opposition and rivals.

First up is Friday’s season opener against Christ Church, a team that has won three state champion-ships in four years from 2011-14.

“Our schools kind of mirror each other in the Upper State and Lower State, Cantey said. “Coach (Dean) Frost and I have been trying to set this game up for a while. Both schools have that tradition factor.”

The schedule doesn’t get any easier. Class AAAA power West Ashley is on the slate as is Class AAA power Hanahan. Don’t forget about Porter-Gaud, half of the rivalry in the city’s “Holy War.”

Past BE teams have been noted for their discipline, defense and option offense. Look for more of the same in ’16.

Leo “The lefty” Albano is back at quarterback and he has the numbers and confidence of his coaches.

Last fall, Albano led the team with 1,035 yards rush-ing and 16 touchdowns while rushing for more than 700 yards, adding another 11 TDs on the ground.

“He’s got that experience, and we trust him,” Cantey said. “We let him call the plays at the line of scrim-mage during Sertoma. He’s got a good feel for the offense and knows what to look for from opposing defense. He allows us to be able to run a no-huddle

offense.”Running back isn’t so settled after graduation and a

transfer meant the loss of another 1,500 yards.Look for Ian Butler, Zach Pampu and Christian

Greavu to get the majority of the carries along with Carter Kilgore, a prototypical fullback. They should benefit from an offensive line that has plenty of experi-enced players.

Key defensive players include Jaylen Stoney, Jack Grooms, Andrew Pizzo, Eric Vettle and Evan Phillips.

Cantey said his team has a lot of unsung heroes, much like the two teams who won state titles.

“We had one person sign a Division I scholarship and that was DeÁngelo Stephenson,” Cantey said. “We didn’t have those superstars.”

Grace Powell is a soccer player. She plays at the high school level for Pine-wood Prep, and for the Arsenal team at James Island Youth Soccer club in the Region III Premier League.

But when Powell, a Daniel Island resident, writes an essay on how she spent her summer, it won’t be about soccer. The topic will be about futsal.

She played for the U.S. 16-U futsal team that traveled to Medellin, Colom-bia over the summer to compete in some international friendlies, and the trip was well worth it. She helped the Red, White and Blue to a 3-0 record as the team’s keeper. She allowed only one goal in the tourney and earned the goalkeeping award for all the American teams that competed in the event. She also tallied a goal.

So, what exactly is futsal?

It is a variant of soccer played on a smaller field and mainly indoors. Futsal is played between two teams of five play-ers each, and unlimited substitutions are permitted.

Unlike some other forms of indoor soccer, the game is played on a hard court surface delimited by lines; walls or boards are not used. Futsal is also played with a smaller ball with less bounce than a regular soccer ball because the surface of the field.

The surface, ball and rules create an emphasis on improvisation, creativity and technique as well as ball control and pass-ing in small spaces.

“It’s a lot different, a lot faster than regular soccer,” Powell said. “It’s like a mix of soccer and basketball. You’re more involved since it’s a smaller court. It re-ally helps you improve your reflexes.”

The U.S. teams stayed in Medellin, one of three cities that will host the 2016 FIFA Futsal World Cup. The trip included one day of training and one day of team-build-ing adventure prior to the three match days, plus a gap day for rest and local sightseeing.

“It was amazing,” Powell said of the trip. “It was a lot of fun to play with other people who know the game well. The experience for me as a player, personally, was great. I got to experience a different culture and got to play a different posi-tion. After the game, the sportsmanship was great. I had the opportunity to learn

more about the game from an international perspective. It’s a lot different than soccer, but it’s still amazing.”

United States Youth Futsal is the largest U.S. soccer affiliated futsal organization in the country. Launched in 2004, U.S. Youth Futsal oversees more than 90 local leagues across the country, sanctions eight regional championships and a national championship. USYF is the leader in Futsal player development and Futsal coaching education by offering the Futsal I.D. program and the U.S. Youth Futsal National Teams.

Powell trains locally with coach Kevin Jackson at Elite Futsal Charleston and plays for Pinewood Prep, which is located in Summerville.

“Pinewood Prep has been a great expe-rience,” said Powell, who is a sophomore. “I played varsity last year and we made it to the first round (of the playoffs.) It was a little disappointing, but it was a great experience. I got to play with 10 seniors.”

And this summer, Powell got to play with – and against -- some of the best players in the world.

Hot weather (and water) continues to dominate the fishing scene. So hot, that many anglers are not fishing. While I appreciate air conditioning, I like fishing even more. So when my brother-in-law (Mike) came into town, fishing was the order of the day.

We launched the skiff early in the morn-ing. Our plan was to fish the last few hours of the outgoing tide and get back before the heat of the day set in. Given the unusually warm water, we headed straight to a shallow shelf that is directly adjacent to deeper (15-20 feet) water. Upon our arrival, the water temperature was 87 degrees. When the morning water temperature is this high, it can be difficult to get fish to eat a lure. I told Mike we were in for a challenging morning. He wiped a bead of sweat from his brow, smiled and picked up his fishing rod.

I used the trolling motor to position the skiff in the deeper water. Mike was blind casting a Z-Man Trout Trick (Fried Chicken) on a quar-ter ounce jig on top of the shallow shelf and slowly bouncing it down the depth transition. I was experimenting with the new Z-Man EZ Shrimp on 3/0 sixteenth ounce keel weighted hook. Rather than blind cast, I waited to see shrimp being forced to the surface by a preda-tor (then casting the shrimp into the area). Both techniques worked well. Over the next hour or so, we completed inshore slams (by

releasing a Flounder, Trout and Redfish). The bite was not spectacular but steady enough to keep our interest.

At 10:30, it was already pretty hot so we decided to call it a day. On the ride back to the boat landing, we spotted some gulls feed-ing on shrimp jumping on the surface. We figured there had to be Trout in the area. So we stopped the skiff and began casting our lures into the frenzy. For the next hour, we enjoyed non-stop action with Trout and Ladyfish. We literally were catching a fish on every cast. We also completely forgot how hot it was.

Fishing in the late summer can be uncom-fortable. However, great fishing awaits the anglers that brave the heat.

Bishop England and Hanahan fared well in the 46th annual Sertoma Football Classic, which is the unofficial kickoff to the high school football season.

The Bishops pounded Pinewood Prep 19-0 in a Friday night scrimmage at The Citadel’s Johnson Hagood Stadium.

The night before, Hanahan topped James Island, 7-0.

“I thought we looked good,” Bishop England coach John Cantey said. “I think we have shown a lot of improvement. We played with enthusiasm. It’s good to play in front of a big crowd in the final tune-up before the season gets underway.”

Bishop England quarterback Leo Albano was the big individual winner, earning the Roddy White MVP award for Friday night with his impressive outing against the defending SCISA Class AAA state champs.

White played in Sertoma as a member of the James Island Trojans and went on to have an impressive career for the Atlanta Falcons.

The scrimmage lasted two quarters and Albano accounted for all three TDs, running for two scores himself as the Bishops won at Sertoma for the first time since 2011, the year they won the first state championship in school history.

Bishop England won the Spirit Award of the second night, with Oceanside sec-ond and Academic Magnet third.

Hanahan, meanwhile, topped James Island 7-0 in a two-quarter scrimmage on Thursday.

Both defenses played well, but the Hawks were just a little better.

The Hawks’ Jamie Watson intercepted a pass near midfield and returned it to the James Island 15-yard line to set up Shiron Hart’s 3-yard TD run with just over seven minutes left in the scrimmage.

One of the first lessons learned at the shared campus of the new Philip Simmons Elementary School (PSES) and Philip Simmons Middle School (PSMS) shined almost as brightly as the early afternoon sun at the facilities’ momentous ribbon-cutting ceremony on Sunday, August 14. Good things come to those who wait.

After years of planning and some 18 months of construction, PSES and PSMS are officially ready to serve.

“It looks so good!” exclaimed a parent as she walked with her children onto the sidewalk in front of the building to join hundreds of waiting families, community members, and dignitaries for the occasion.

Gathered behind a purple ribbon were Berkeley County School Board Chair Jim Hayes, Superintendent Brenda Blackburn, PSES Principal Karen Whitley, PSMS Princi-pal Anthony Dixon, Berkeley County School Board Member Mac McQuillin, and members of the facility’s design and construction team. Also in attendance were Deputy Superinten-dent Archie Franchini, Chief Academic Officer Deon Jackson, School Board Members Frank Wright and Phillip Obie, Berkeley County Supervisor Bill Peagler and County Council-man Josh Whitley.

“As a Board Chair, there is nothing that is more enjoyable to do than to show up to a ribbon-cutting for a new school,” said Hayes, in the program’s opening remarks. “This venue here is very beautiful. The kids coming here

are very fortunate.”“We are going to open this school with a lot

of talented young folks,” added Superintendent Blackburn. “Let’s hear it for the first day of school tomorrow! I must thank the community

for the support that created the building that we have before us…Your commitment to having quality educational programs and quality edu-cational facilities for our kids speaks volumes about the community in which we live.”

Blackburn also praised the School Board for proactively addressing the needs of the com-munity and building facilities that “are not only economical, but that are also great places to teach and to learn.”

“Groundbreakings and dedications are our favorite parts of these projects,” added Greg Hughes, president of Contract Construction, the company tasked with building the 172,000 square foot facility designed by LS3P Associ-ates. “But there is a massive undertaking in be-tween, and Berkeley County School Board put their trust in us… And we all worked together through massive obstacles to open it up and we hope you enjoy your brand new school!”

Principals Whitley and Dixon also shared a few words with the eager crowd.

“I cannot tell you how excited I am,” said Whitley. “This is my 40th year and I don’t know when I have looked so forward to a first day of school! We’ve got award-winning teach-ers, cutting curriculum, a state of the art build-ing…We’re going to bring home the awards for this community!”

Community celebrates new schools at Pses/PsMs ribbon-cutting

See RIBBOn CuTTInG on PAGE 25

ELIzABETH BuSHLet’s hear it for the Iron Horses! Celebrating at the official ribbon-cutting for the new Philip Simmons Elementary School (PSES) and Philip Simmoms Middle School (PSMS) on August 14 were: Greg Hughes, president of Contract Construction; Berkeley County School Board Mem-bers Frank Wright, Phillip Obie, and Mac McQuillin; PSES Principal Karen Whitley; Kyle Farley, project manager for Contract Construction; PSMS Principal Anthony Dixon; Berkeley County Supervisor Bill Peagler; and Berkeley County Schools Superintendent Brenda Blackburn.

Dixon used the opportunity to focus atten-tion on the school’s namesake, the late Master Blacksmith Philip Simmons, a Daniel Island native. Simmons was just eight years old when his mother sent him to downtown Charleston to pursue his education.

“It’s such a great experience now to be standing here off Clements Ferry Road with a school named after Philip Simmons and all of the hard work, the dedication and his com-mitment to education,” noted Dixon. “We just thrive as a faculty and staff that hopes that we can continue to forge his commitment to education to each and every one of our students who enter this building.”

Standing in the midst of those gathered were members of Simmons family, as well as members of the Keith family, whose ancestor, Edward Keith, started the former Keith School on Clements Ferry Road in the 1920s.

“It’s great!” exclaimed Cain Simmons after the program. “This is the best thing that’s ever happened to our community. We will do a lot for this school, and volunteer whenever we can.”

“It’s a blessing,” added Lauval Simmons. “My grandfather Edward Keith would be so

proud to see how we’ve progressed to this,” added Edna Keith.

“Our grandfather started the Keith School and brought education to this part of the community,” continued LeRoy Keith. “…We started with an old wood school and now we’ve ended with this!”

After the ribbon-cutting festivities wrapped up, families, students and other guests were invited inside to take a tour and meet the teach-ers and staff. McQuillin, who was elected to the Berkeley County School Board in 2014, offered high praise for all involved in bringing the facility to fruition.

“We’re blessed to have the leadership that we have at these schools and the community we have in this area that are all so excited and welcoming,” said McQuillin, a Daniel Island resident. “We couldn’t have done it without the principals and the community. To me, they are the key forces that got this school rolling. It’s just a blessing to see it and go inside. It’s unbelievable!”

After having a look around, sixth grade PSMS student Jacque Greene gave the gleam-ing school an enthusiastic thumbs up.

“It’s good!” he said, pointing out that the basketball courts in the gym are his favorite feature in the new space.

“I think I’m gonna like my new school!” added second grade student Eden Tumey. “I

know I like my classroom already!”“It’s a beautiful new campus,” said Lisa

Moore, who will be working in the new schools’ food services department.

Lisa Kerns, who serves as president of the Philip Simmons Middle School PTA, stood at a welcome table in the multi-purpose room to greet families. Purple balloons and merchan-dise imprinted with the school’s mascot, the Iron Horses, added to the spirited atmosphere.

“We’re just so excited!” she said. “Really and truly we’re not starting a new chapter in a story, we’re starting a new book! And I cannot wait to see what the pages are going to look like over the next couple of years. Just to look out at that ribbon cutting at the eyes of all those children and how excited they were, it just gives me so much hope and pride in this com-munity – and how they’ve come together and worked together. It’s just awesome!”
