Lady’s Island Road to have a roundabout

By Jim Hicks, LIBPA

Above is a preview of what the roundabout on Lady’s Island might look like (not an accurate representation).

For the last couple of decades Lady’s Island has been the fastest growing area in northern Beaufort County and this growth has required many infrastructure changes to the island. To cope with the increase in population the electrical capacity has been tripled, Sea Island Parkway, Lady’s Island Drive and a portion of Sams Point Road widened and another span of the McTeer Bridge was built. We have also expanded both

water and sewer service throughout the island, built one park and are in the process of completing a second park, built a new high school and a performing arts center plus purchased property for a new elementary school on Springfield Road. Now, with some mixed feelings, we anticipate a roundabout being installed at the intersection of Sams Point Road, Brickyard Point Road and ROAD continued on page 2

Road

continued from page 1 Holly Hall Road.

Admittedly some of these mixed feelings as to the roundabout come from a basic dislike of change. Most of us who use the intersection are familiar with traffic signals but roundabouts not so much. There is no question that the Sams Point Road, Brickyard Point Road and Holly Hall Road intersection has been a traffic concern for a number of years. In 2013 the South Carolina Department of Transportation, in an effort to determine the best way to improve the intersection, conducted an analysis of two possible solutions – traffic signals and a roundabout.

Following are some highlights of the analysis.

- The intersection, as presently configured, operates at a level of service (LOS) scoring an “F” during both the morning and evening peak traffic hours.

The letter grades for level of service is similar to school grades with “A” being great and “F” being what you do not want to have.

- In the morning, during the peak hour of traffic, the intersection is faced with 754 vehicles attempting to turn right on Sams Point Road from Brickyard Point Road and by 2035 that number is projected to be 1012.

- In a typical afternoon peak hour of traffic there will be 558 vehicles turning left from Sams Point Road onto 2

HM2 Dada is active in The Sea Island Rotary Club, Toastmasters International, a member of Leadership Beaufort Class of 2016, coached soccer, volunteers with the Beaufort County Emergency Response Team and several local festivals, as well as participates in many other organizations. His wife, Taiwo Dada, volunteers her time at the hospital. They have two daughters and are both active in their church and volunteer with the Beaufort-Jasper EOC Head Start Program at the St. Helena Center. HM2 Dada also serves as the 2015/2016 President for that organization.

Brickyard Point Road and by 2035 that number is projected to be 749.

- From Holly Hall Road, in the morning at the peak hour of traffic, 71 vehicles will attempt to turn left onto Sams Point Road and by 2035 that number is projected to be 95.

Considering the 60 homes which D. R. Horton is building as part of the Tidewater Creek Development on Little Capers Road the long range number of 95 may be a bit low.

- Installation of a signal at the intersection would provide operational improvements under current conditions but would be expected to fail by 2035.

Signal control would fail earlier if the annual growth rate of northern Lady’s Island exceeds 1.5%. Lady’s Island population grew 36% in the last decade.

Based on the results of this analysis, the South Carolina Department of Transportation, with the support of the Beaufort County Traffic Engineer, decided a roundabout at the intersection was the best and safest long term solution. Some have indicated that with an estimated cost of $2.5 million for construction of a roundabout perhaps SCDOT should install a traffic signal, which would be cheaper, and after installation wait until future traffic once again overwhelms the intersection and then consider a roundabout or something else. In this regard Colin Kinton, Beaufort County Transportation Engineer indicates that “Roundabouts typically cost much more than a traffic signal with up front capital. However, if you look at the

Molly Ingram theislandnews@ gmail.com 843-352-8616

life cycle costs of a roundabout over a 20 year period, figuring in the cost of electricity, maintenance, lost time due to increase in delays, rebuilding of traffic signals and property/personal damage from vehicle crashes, a roundabout provides a better long term investment.

Also, an Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) study found that roundabouts, when compared to traffic signals, resulted in a 39 percent reduction in overall crashes, a 76 percent reduction in injury crashes and a 90 percent reduction in fatal crashes. These statistics are hard to ignore, and simply put, roundabouts are remarkably safer than traffic signals. In my opinion, we should always be putting our best foot forward to improving highway safety and working to eliminate fatalities.”

A roundabout, at this critical intersection, is going to become a reality. The utilities are in the process of being relocated to make room for the roundabout. The request for a proposal for construction of the Sams Point roundabout is scheduled to be released in January 2016. It is difficult to argue that we should not install the safest and best system for handling the traffic at this key intersection. English theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking is quoted as saying “Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.” We, on Lady’s Island, who will use the new roundabout, are surely as intelligent as those folks in the northern part of the United States who use roundabouts on a routine basis; still the thoughts of coping with one scares the dickens out of many of us.

DONALD TRUMP AND THE EVANGELICAL VOTE

By Bill Rauch

Widespread disgust with Washington’s ways has given rise in the current presidential primary season to the twin phenomena of Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump, outsiders who say clearly and convincingly that if they are elected President, they will do things differently in the nation’s capital.

Of these two, because he is a “billionaire businessman” and because as a reality TV star he was known for his signature catch phrase “You’re fired!”

(Excepting the brilliant David Petraeus, who has the current administration fired?), and because he has never before tarnished himself by running for elective office, Trump is the most different.

And as such he is on a roll.

But elections don’t get certified until all the votes are in. And the Trump campaign still faces a significant challenge in Iowa and South Carolina where GOP voters who describe themselves in exit polls as “Evangelical” typically comprise the majority of both states’ GOP primary electorates.

The Trump campaign knows this, of course, and they have been discreetly working the Evangelical vineyards since before the candidate declared. Seasoned professionals, they have reportedly been saying all the right things, as has reportedly the candidate when he has been brought in.

The New York-based former casino owner has even picked up a tacit Evangelical endorsement or two, like the one he received from Liberty University President Jerry Falwell, Jr. who, in introducing candidate Trump to the

college’s 11,000 students, compared him to Martin Luther King, Jr. and to Jesus Christ as someone who speaks the truth even when it is unpopular.

Some listen to the words. Others watch the hands.

Dr. Carl Broggi, Senior Pastor at the Community Bible Church in Shell Point has met personally with Candidate Trump and the pastor’s support has been courted for the past six months by Trump’s managers. Pastor Broggi has also met with Senator Ted Cruz and been courted by the Cruz managers. Other camps have reached out to him as well.

“A lot of Evangelicals are suspicious of Trump,” Pastor Broggi said last week. “We have been ‘played’ by past candidates who have made promises and then not kept them.”

Candidate Trump says almost all the

things that Evangelicals would like to hear, or at least he tries to. He refers, for example, to The Bible as his“favorite book.” But when he was addressing the Liberty University students last week he flubbed his Biblical reference, saying the verse he was quoting could be found In an unusually large Republican presidential primary field in “Two Corinthians,” a Donald Trump has consistently demonstrated his talent for dominating the news. book in the Bible that is universally called week, “Donald Trump says, ‘My faith is “Second Corinthians.” in my own goodness.

I’ll admit, I’m the picky eater in my family

By Lee Scott

Every family has them. Those children that will not eat their peas or the crust on the bread. They moan when you tell them that dinner is a chicken casserole because they hate to have their food mixed together. You beg, you plead, you threaten or reward and still they will not put certain food into their mouths.

Dinners become a battlefield when you just wanted to have a peaceful family meal. I know about this problem. My family has a picky eater. I know because I am the picky eater.

I was reminded again of this affliction while talking to a medical professional from Beaufort Medical Center at a recent Health Fair. He asked me about my diet and I told him I did not eat eggs. His eyes

lit up as he asked “Texture or smell?” I grabbed his hand and smiled. A kindred spirit. We picky eaters identify with one another. “Texture” I said and off we went onto a discussion of all the foods that we would not eat. We compared notes as to how we handled it around non-picky eaters too. Responses like, “No, thank you, I am full.” when people are pushing

food on us. This seems to be a very plausible excuse even though we may be filling ourselves up on bread and butter.

He said that he does not discuss the issue with non-picky eaters since they cannot fully understand. I told him that I had recently done research and there were multiple reasons for someone to be a picky eater. One: Picky eaters have more

discerning palates. The advanced taste buds allow us to be supertasters and our pickiness is for an evolutionary reason. (I like this one) Two: It is a disorder and we need professionals and medications to help us with our problem. (Why is everything a disorder nowadays?)

It is not easy being a picky eater. We maneuver in a world full of people with healthy normal appetites. We have side conversations with waiters because we do not always eat everything on our plates and have to assure them that the food was great. I still enjoy going out for dinner with friends. It is their companionship I enjoy and not necessarily the food. But overall, eating is much more enjoyable now. Since becoming an adult, all the family meals are peaceful.

Celadon launches 2016 with a night to remember

By Molly Ingram

It was another great Island Girls Night Out at the beautiful Celadon Spa on Lady’s Island last week. Although we had moved the day to Thursdays so we could make sure everyone went home with a “hot off the presses” newspaper, more than 100 ladies joined in the festivities and enjoyed beautiful hors d’oeuvres, cookies and fruit along with lots of “keep you warm” wine. Besides heaters and fireplace blazing away, guests managed to try a little Zumba and get a relaxing hand

scrub with salt and sugar followed by a relaxing massage. Now that is my way of getting a break after a hard day at the salt mines...sorry, couldn’t resist...

Thank you to Celadon for giving all of us a chance to see their beautiful facility and sample some of their services and also to all of our prize donors. The ladies love everything they win!

What to note for home insurance reviews Provided by State Farm

The next time you need to renew your insurance policies, consider taking these steps to help you get the most out of your coverage: • Meet with your agent. Your insurance needs change over time. Conducting a home insurance review with your agent at least once each year can help you determine if your coverage options still make sense for your current situation.

• Ask about discounts. During your

annual home insurance review, ask about policy discounts. Before you renew your policy, speak with your agent about discounts that may be available. You may qualify for discounts for alarm systems or higher deductibles. Commonly overlooked discounts include infrequent or safe driver discounts.

• Insure your home for the estimated cost to rebuild rather than the real estate value. State Farm® suggests you select a coverage amount equal to at least 100%

of the estimated replacement cost of your home, but the choice is yours. You also should make sure any replacement cost estimate reflects the actual characteristics of your home. Insuring your home for at least 100% of its estimated replacement cost — not the current market value — could give you the means to replace your home entirely in the event of a loss.

• Carefully review the limitations on coverage and exclusions in your policy.

Some items in your home might qualify

for extra protection. For example, you may need more protection for jewelry and firearms. Business in the home coverage can protect furniture and equipment used for business purposes.

Talk to your agent to make sure you’re not overlooking important addons to your coverage. See more at www.learningcenter.statefarm.com/ insurance/what-to-note-for-homeinsurance-reviews/#sthash.qjL9EAXA. dpuf

Six things to know to weather a market downturn this year It’s natural to be nervous when the markets head for negative territory.

Keep a positive perspective with these six investing reminders.

It can be unsettling for investors when their portfolios and the markets start heading into the red. Here are six investing basics to keep in mind during volatile times.

1. Periods of volatility are normal All markets move in cycles, and periods of contraction are completely normal.

While the length of market contractions varies, periods of growth and expansion are usually waiting on the other side. In fact, we’ve seen the S&P 500 correct by at least 14% five times since 2000 only to print subsequent new highs.

2. Don’t panic - Letting emotions dictate your investing strategy is a risk you shouldn’t take. Short-term decisions can have long-term consequences on your portfolio. Being patient can pay dividends.

3. Know your portfolio - Understand your investments and how specific assets represent different goals and outcomes.

Keep in mind your risk tolerance and investment timeline, and if either has changed, consider talking to your financial advisor about rebalancing your portfolio. Diversification can potentially help balance risk during a downturn and mitigate extreme swings in value.

4. Stay the course - Remember your financial plan and longterm goals and stick to them. A disciplined investment approach is the best strategy for handling market Charles Tumlin downturns and will likely enable you to participate when the markets rebound.

5. Consider opportunities - Working with your financial advisor, determine whether periods of volatility are a good time to take advantage of investment opportunities in line with your longterm plan.

6. You’re not alone - Your financial advisor is able to help you. He or she can guide you through difficult markets and be the independent voice that helps you stay focused on your long-term goals.

Your PercePtion vs. Your realitY Believe it or not, there are people on track to reach their financial goals, but the only way they know they’re on track is that they took the time for figure it out.

Knowing where to start remains the first major obstacle for most people when it come to financial planning.

If you never start the process you have two problems: 1. You have no idea where you are: what I call your current reality 2. You have no defined goals It’s rather hard to arrive at a destination with a trip plan that lacks a beginning and an end. Of course the other issue with having no plan is the low-grade headache it creates because you do have a sense of where you are and where you want to go, but no idea if you’re on track. We all know the feeling of lying in bed wondering if we’re going to make it.

Getting started is really just as simple as taking the time and getting the help to: • Clearly define your current reality, where are you today • Put some framework around where you want to go The task of assessing future financial needs can be daunting.

Often we have perceptions that,

under scrutiny, don’t match reality and have to be adjusted. , BUT the point is that until you sit down, TALK about it, and put some numbers around it, you have NO PLAN! It’s important to understand that things will change. No matter how much time we spend creating a plan it can’t capture everything about our future reality. All we’re trying to do is make the best guess we can and move on. If you understand that these are guesses (very important guesses), then you can give yourself permission to not obsess over them.

Make the best guess you can with the information you have, and then commit to revisit it often enough to make course corrections long before you veer too far off course.

The other wonderful thing that will happen is that often we find out that even though our perception of our future financial needs was not even close to reality, we gain a sense of control that helps us focus on living our lives NOW. In many cases, we learn that we do have enough money and time to meet our goals. It might not even be a situation of needing to grit our teeth and save more, but we never know until we take the time to plan!

a grand adventure Tina McGee believes there is no greater thrill than being a grandmother. But when painful fibroid tumors prevented her from keeping up with her energetic grandchildren, she turned to Beaufort Memorial for da Vinci® single-site hysterectomy. This advanced approach, which results in minimal scarring and reduced recovery time, has allowed Tina to get back to living well and doing what she does best — playing with the ones she loves.
