Trump and Clinton win DI Caucus with Rubio taking the third most votes overall

noted as to why the candidates got
their vote.
In advance of the Iowa Caucuses,
we asked The Daniel Island News
email subscribers to participate in a
“Daniel Island Caucus.” Although
it is not a scientific poll with a measurable margin of error, our email
subscribes did vote somewhat differently than the Iowa Caucus goers.
A total of 205 email subscribers cast
votes: 72 voted Democrat and 133
voted Republican. The chart accompanying this article breaks the vote
out by overall percentages without
regard to party. Below we break out
the vote by party caucus and share

On the Democratic side, our email
subscribers cast 41 votes in favor of
Hillary Clinton and 30 votes in favor
of Bernie Sanders. Willie Wilson
got one vote and Martin O’Malley
came up empty. A total of 72 votes
were cast for Democratic candidates,
giving Hillary Clinton 57% of the
democratic vote and Bernie Sanders
42% of the vote.
The New York Times reported a
much closer race in Iowa with Clin-
Presidential Caucus Survey
ton ahead slightly with 49.9 % over
Sander’s 49.6%.
The adjective most email subscribes used to described Hillary
Clinton was “experienced.” Twentyeight voters noted her experience.
Many voters also described her as
intelligent/knowledgeable, moderate, effective and presidential/statesman. No other candidate in either
party scored more than five votes on
experience.
When describing Bernie Sanders, voters had a difficult time of
coming up with one-word adjectives. Instead, they used phrases
such as “cares for the people,”
“speaks plainly”. He was recognized
frequently for sincerity, honesty,
compassion and consistency.

28%. Cruz was third with only 12%
of the votes, claiming 16 total votes.
Also performing well in the Daniel
Island Caucus was John Kasich with
11 votes (could it be our Ohio transplants?), Jeb Bush with 10 votes and
Chris Christy with 9 votes.
The New York Times reported a
totally different outcome in Iowa
than how our Daniel Island email
subscribers voted. In Iowa, Ted Cruz
was first with 27.7% of the vote;
Donald Trump was second with
24.3% and Marco Rubio was third
with 23.1%.
The overwhelming trait that our
voters like about Trump is his independence from the establishment,
gaining high praise and frequent
comments about his business
success, being an outsider, being
independent and not being politically correct.
The number one adjective used
to describe Rubio was “electable.”
He was also repeatedly described as
energetic, smart and presidential.
The adjectives our voters used to
describe Cruz were: conservative,
Constitutionalist, trustworthy and a
good communicator.

closer to the South Carolina primaries. If you’d like to be included on

beginning. You need a fifinancial institution that understands where you’ve been and, most importantly, where
you’re going. That’s where we come in. We’re South Carolina Federal Credit Union, and we’ve been a part of

When it comes to tackling the most urgent and challenging animal crisis situations in the Carolinas, the capable staff at Valiant Animal Rescue & Relief (VARR) now have even more resources
at their disposal. The proceeds from a festive, holiday-themed “Santa Paws” pet photo session event last December were recently presented to VARR’s Executive Director Michelle Reid.
Sponsors of the benefit event were the Exchange Club of Daniel Island, Lynn Cobb Photography,
Lucia’s Premium Pets, Mudd Pie Girl Bakery, Publix, and Greystar Daniel Island Village. According to Reid, the $1000 received by the organization will be used to help cover medical costs associated with animal cruelty cases. She said VARR has also been assisting a number of animals
who have been impacted in recent weeks by weather changes, such as colder temperatures.
Pictured at the check presentation on January 29 are (from left to right): Marie Glovan of the Exchange Club of Daniel Island; Kay Layne of the Exchange Club of Daniel Island; Colleen Hoover
of Greystar Daniel Island Village; Clyde Rush, President of the Exchange Club of Daniel Island;
VARR Executive Director Michelle Reid; Lynn Cobb of Lynn Cobb Photography; and Bill Coash
of Mudd Pie Girl Bakery. Also pictured, in the arms of Reid and in a separate individual photo, is
“Bucky,” a Pomeranian who was recently rescued by the organization after being thrown against
a wall by his previous owners. To make a donation to VARR, visit the organization’s website at
www.valiantanimalrescue.org. Donations to VARR can also be accepted at Lucia’s Premium Pets
on Daniel Island.

DIS student struck by car
From traffic safety on PAGE 02
safety advocate Carina Buckman thinks the
target zone should be extended. Last week,
she posted a message on the Daniel Island
Moms Facebook Page asking for the community to re-energize on the issue.
“Since nothing has been done over the last
year to improve safety within the Daniel Island School zone, despite significant public
efforts, a group of concerned residents are
again escalating the issue,” she wrote.
The Daniel Island School “has stepped
up massively in past years” to boost safety
measures, Buckman said. But she sees a
number of risks that she believes should
be addressed by the community and other
officials, including parking within the school
zone, near intersections and crosswalks;
drivers not yielding at crosswalks; traffic
lights at crosswalks giving pedestrians and
vehicles a green light at the same time; and
increased cell phone usage.
“We get a lot of ‘You need to learn to
behave and drive properly’,” said Buckman,
who reports that she sees at least one or two
‘near miss’ accidents a week on the island.
“While I do agree with that, we aren’t keeping up with the technology as it’s developing, and the addictive use of cell phones,
the pace of life, all feed into a need for us to
take a step back and assess whether what we
currently have is really meeting the needs of
the community. And I think we’re way off
the mark.”
Buckman would like to see restrictions on
parking and increased enforcement, signage
placed inside crosswalks (like those on Sullivan’s Island) asking drivers to yield to pedestrians, changes to traffic light sequencing,
and the creation of a legal school zone (that
starts at the intersection of Daniel Island
Drive and Seven Farms Drive) requiring low
speeds and no cell phone usage.
“This isn’t about preventing all accidents,” said Buckman. “It’s just reducing the
level to an acceptable level, where hopefully
there wouldn’t be any accidents. The current
environment is just an accident waiting to
happen.”
“I believe a school zone would bring
our attention to slowing down and bring
our thoughts to the safety of our children,”
added French. “A school zone could also
decrease the use of cell phones which would
help drivers maintain focus on the road and
pedestrians. I appreciate the focus on safety
and our children, it does reflect the caring
spirit of our community.”
Daniel Island resident Andrea Kelly has
also been a longtime advocate for traffic
safety in and around the school. Her passion for the issue was sparked in part by
an accident in 2014 involving a boy who
was hit by a car while riding a skateboard
through the intersection of Pierce Street and
Barfield Street. She encouraged all drivers
to use common sense when parking and or
driving in an area where young children are
traversing.
“Just because something is legal, doesn’t
mean it is safe or courteous,” she said. “Stop
and ask yourself if your convenience is
worth another person’s safety.”
Kelly said there are a number of ways
residents can voluntarily assist in keeping all
community members safer, including parking in your driveways as much as possible
and avoiding parking along blind curves on
streets or adjacent to intersections and crosswalks. She also suggested that if parking
is allowed on both sides of a street, drivers
should not park directly across from another
parked car.
“And remember, if a car is parked in your
lane and two cars can’t pass safely at the
same time, you must pull over and yield to
the oncoming car,” Kelly added.
Buckman said a road study was supposed
to have been initiated by the City of Charleston last year and was intended to provide
data on whether the current infrastructure
is meeting the community’s needs. When
The Daniel Island News contacted the city
to inquire about the study, Communications
Director Jack O’Toole reached out to Traffic
and Transportation Director Hernan Pena to
find out the status of the effort.
“There was some talk of a study, but one
was never initiated,” said O’Toole, referencing his conversation with Pena. “However,
after reviewing the situation, Mr. Pena
thinks a study would be a sensible thing to
do and he plans to conduct one over next
two to three weeks.”
O’Toole said the results of the study
would be made available to the public within
30 days. Pena also noted that he found the
idea of putting “yield to pedestrian” signs
inside crosswalks an interesting one, and one
that had not been suggested to him before.
According to O’Toole, Pena promised to
look into it further.
In the meantime, Buckman is putting together a group of parents and other community members to advance the discussion on
traffic safety. Anyone interested in joining
the committee, or sharing expertise, is asked
to send an email to Buckman at dischoolzonesafety@yahoo.com. The topic is also
scheduled to be addressed at the February
2 meeting of the Daniel Island Neighborhood Association. She hoped the community
would get engaged in any and all opportunities to draw attention to the issue.
“We need people to turn out,” she said.
“When nobody turns out that inadvertently
communicates you don’t care…To make a
positive change, it’s going to take a significant community effort to push action
through.”

Will SPA use Clements Ferry Road to transport truckloads of dirt?
ELIZABETH BUSH
beth@thedanielislandnews.com
What’s the scoop on the dirt? That was a
question many Clements Ferry Road residents were undoubtedly asking last week
after Berkeley County Councilman Josh
Whitley alerted his constituents via a Facebook message that the State Ports Authority
may be planning to transport hundreds of
truckloads of dirt down the busy roadway
every day.
“They plan to do this ‘for a long time,’”
wrote Whitley in his post. “Our road simply

Like many of you, I have read lots of
stock market headlines and articles over
the past few weeks ranging from the
extreme to the outrageous. Most focus
narrowly on one issue or another: China,
Oil, the Middle East, etc. and all without a
meaningful discussion on what it all means
to our long term investing success.
Now is also not a time to sugar coat
- no matter the headlines, this is a very
difficult time in the markets because of
the uncertainty that exist globally. In fact
stocks have had the worst start to any new
year ever!
Instead of reacting to the headlines, it is
important to focus on the things you can
control and central to your thinking should
be asking yourself “What does this mean
for me and what should I be doing?”
First, make sure you have a plan. And
by a plan I don’t mean an exit strategy or
putting all of your money in gold. I am
referring to both an investment plan and
an income plan. Understand your investment portfolios as well as your spending
and savings goals. These plans should be
designed specifically to help meet your
goals, taking into account your probability
of meeting those goals based on scenarios
like we are experiencing in 2016, and several others, both for the better and worse.
It is crucial that you or your advisor do not
assume an average market return, but instead factor in the markets potential down
side when creating a plan. Most importantly continue to review and analyze your
plan as the markets continue to evolve.
Second, take a moment to really think
This is a very difficult
time in the markets because of the uncertainty
that exist globally.
about your risk capacity and risk tolerance.
Your risk tolerance is the amount of risk
you are comfortable taking—this is an
intangible number that often doesn’t have
real meaning until there is a down turn…
understand the possible downside that
your portfolio may assume, and make sure
you can live through it. Is your number
-10%, 20% or 40%? Get comfortable with
this number. Your risk capacity is the level
of risk you must take in order to meet your
goals…for some this means taking more
risk, for others it is less—but it is always
unique to you. A down market is the best
time to test your risk tolerance.
Lastly, turn off the TV and the noise.
Hire a financial advisor who will assume
this burden for you. Find an advisor who is
actively watching and listening to the markets and evaluating their clients’ portfolios
and plans: you shouldn’t have to ride this
roller coaster alone!

CMIT Solutions of Charleston Achieves National
Honor
CMIT Solutions of Charleston, the
region’s leading information technology
solutions and services provider for the
small and medium-sized business community, has earned a top national honor.
For the month of January, the company
presented Daniel Island resident Amy
Justis, President of CMIT Solutions of
Charleston, with the coveted “Franchisee
of the Month” award.
“With each new year in business, Amy
has continued to impress us,” said Jeff
Connally, president and CEO of Austin,
Texas-based CMIT Solutions. “Her level
of commitment to supporting Charleston’s
small and medium-sized business community sets an example for our entire franchise system. We are honored to recognize
her team for all of the progress they have
made in the past month.”
Justis has led CMIT Solutions of
Charleston to the top of the CMIT Solutions franchise system in nearly every
category the company tracks to determine
the award winner, including client satisfaction, client retention, revenue growth, and
the number of client devices managed.
In addition to being named the January 2016 “Franchisee of the Month,”
Justis was also named the October 2014
“Franchisee of the Month” and the 2014
“Rookie of the Year.”
“It has been a total team effort,” added
Justis. “Without the support of my talented
team of technicians, we wouldn’t be where
we are today. The recognition serves as a
testament to our hard work and determination. We look forward to continue making
a difference for our clients in the months
and years to come.”
CMIT Solutions’ services help companies keep their strategic IT goals in
focus by ensuring their computer systems
are running, their data is protected, their
network is secure, and, most importantly, their employees are productive.
As a result, business owners benefit from
increased efficiency, strategic information technology advice, and the ability to
implement technology changes to improve
their competitive posture.
CMIT Solutions’ franchise offices are
independently owned and operated. Unlike
most local IT consultants, CMIT Solutions
has established cost-saving relationships
with well-known technology partners
including Dell, Microsoft, and Intuit. Plus,
being part of a national franchise offers the
opportunity to tap into a large consulting
network of knowledgeable business owners and corporate support staff.

In the wake of recent renewable energy legislation, solar power is stretching across South Carolina.

till doubting that an intergalactic takeover is imminent? Recently overheard at a local Starbucks (no pun
intended): “You bought your own solar system? Oh,
we decided to lease ours, you know, as a way to avoid
exposure to alien holder.”
Hang on. We just said that out loud. A lienholder.
Okay, and maybe it was a discussion about solar energy procurement, not an extraterrestrial coup. Makes
sense, in light of an observable movement toward
renewably-resourced power in recent months.
Solar finally gets the green light
In summer of 2014, Governor Nikki Haley signed a bill
loosening restrictions on solar energy after it overwhelmingly
passed the state legislature that spring. Prior to the compromise
the bill sought, renewable energy advocates and solar companies
had been in contention with the state’s profit-protective power
companies. Beyond going green, the legislation was aimed at
helping the state attract international businesses, lowering energy
costs for homeowners, and catching up with the efforts of more
solar-powered neighbors Georgia and North Carolina.
The new law also allowed for the first time solar energy leasing, a means to make affordable to homeowners the relatively
expensive panels (and without being regulated as a utility). In
March 2015, the South Carolina Public Service Commission
approved a settlement agreement on what is termed net energy
metering (NEM). Customers with solar energy systems installed
before the end of 2020 will earn full retail value bill credit for
each “surplus” kilowatt-hour that goes to the power company’s
utility grid. The act also required that leased systems only serve
one customer and one location, prohibiting the sale of electricity
to third parties.

Here’s the brief science behind it all: Solar electric panels
capture light from the sun and convert it to clean power when
photons of light are absorbed and electrons are released. Each
panel is made by combining many solar cells together, and then

Daniel Island Park residents Bob and Carol Wood have
had solar panels since September. They were installed
by local EmPower Solutions representative Bill Cannon,
a Daniel Island resident and fellow Rotarian. Though
EmPower has installed hundreds of systems through the
southeast U.S. and Central America, the Woods’ project
was the company’s first in South Carolina. Next up for
Cannon and his crew is a “high-profile” installation at the
Daniel Island Club.
But, first, there was the solarizing of the home of Bob and
Carol Wood…
Daniel Island News: Do you own your solar energy
panel system, or are you leasing? How many panels are
installed for your home?
Bob Wood: We decided to purchase the solar panels,
rather than leasing them. We have 30 panels, each rated
at 250 watts, for a total system capacity of 7.5 kilowatts.
Because of our roof shape, we have three different arrays
on different parts of our roof.
DIN: What was the process for getting the system approved by the Daniel Island Architectural Review Board
(ARB)?
BW: The ARB appeared to be concerned about visibility
from the street and by neighbors. Our home is situated
such that our southern roof exposure, which is best for
solar installations, is only visible to our neighbors next
door. They were very kind and wrote a letter to the ARB
that stated that they did not object to our planned solar
installation. After reviewing our plans and considering the
letter, the ARB approved our installation.

power stored in “battery banks” can be used during power outages in grid connected systems with this enhancement. An emergency breaker box is added to the system, as well as a charge
controller to prevent overcharging the battery.
Most common in remote areas, off-grid or stand-alone systems
are not tied to utility power lines. Batteries store unused solar
energy for use at night, and generators are sometimes used as
backup power.
Up on the roof…
Solar panels are assigned a rating in watts based on the maximum power they can produce under optimal sun and temperature
conditions. This rated output, along with roof orientation/tilt
and system efficiency, is used to estimate the number of panels
needed to meet electrical needs.
A residential solar energy system will generally require 75
to 100 square feet of unshaded roof space for every kilowatt of
electricity produced. South-facing roof space is ideal, though
southeast- or southwest-facing space can often be accommodated.
The typical lifespan of a solar electric system is 30 years, and a
full return on the system investment – after state and federal tax
See powered by the sun on PAGE 18
DIN: Are you still on SCE&G’s grid? Do you participate in
“net metering?”
BW: We are still on SCE&G’s grid. We considered adding
battery storage to provide electricity at night or on cloudy
days, but Bill Cannon advised against it at this time.
Storage technology is improving rapidly, and it may make
more sense to wait a few more years. Also, we do have net
metering, which guarantees that, for the next ten years,
SCE&G will buy back the solar power that we generate at
the same rate that they sell it to us, currently about 13.9
cents/kilowatt-hour. Thus, storage really wouldn’t gain us
anything, despite a fairly large outlay. Also, a new incentive program provides that SCE&G will pay us an additional four cents/kilowatt-hour for the power we generate.
To take advantage of this new program, we had to install a
second meter, which we completed in November.
DIN: What kind of cost savings have you observed so far?
BW: We have definitely noticed significant savings. Our
last electric bill for December was $11. (This does not
include the charge for natural gas.) For the last three
months we have averaged about $130 per month in savings when compared to the previous five-year average per
month. Of course, I’ll have a better idea when we see our
bills in the summer, when we have the longest exposure
to sunlight. With state and federal tax incentives, it appears at this point that our payback period will be about
eight years. However, we may be underestimating the
benefit, since we haven’t seen what our solar production
will be in the summer yet.
DIN: Would you say the transition to solar was fairly
seamless? Any glitches encountered so far?
BW: Bill (Cannon) used an installation team from North
Carolina, and they were thoroughly professional and did
a very neat job. We were concerned how our roofs would
do after the torrential rains last fall. Despite the need to
penetrate the roofs to anchor the solar panels, our attics
remained bone dry.

It would not be surprising to see an increase in commercial use of the renewable

My technical skiff is down for winter
maintenance. However, Elliott (my son)
lent me his Kenner Pro Skiff, so I did get
to fish a few times this week.
Cooler weather has dropped the water
temperature into the 49 to 50 degree
range. Typically, when the water temperature is below 50, the Trout bite slows
down. Not so this week. Surprisingly, the
Trout bite was quite good. Most of the
fish were in 10 to 15 feet of water and the
strike was very light. But they were biting! The bite was so good; I am thinking
the water temperature sensor on Elliott’s
boat is not reading properly. The most
productive lure (by far) was a Z-Man
Trout Trick (Shrimp Po Boy) on a 3/16
ounce Trout Eye jig. An exaggerated jigging retrieve seemed to produce the most
strikes. Nearly all of the time, the Trout
would hit the lure as it fell back to the
bottom. A sensitive, light action rod really
helps when fishing this lure.
The Redfish bite in the shallows has
cooled off a bit. Of course, it has been

Hanahan and Bishop England athletes
announce their college plans
PHILIP M. BOWMAN
National Signing Day was celebrated across
the country on Wednesday, an event celebrated
all over the country as star athletes announced
their college matriculation plans.
Hanahan and Bishop England both were
well represented on the day with athletes in
numerous sports taking part in celebrations at
both schools.
Hanahan High School
The marquee athlete, Hanahan’s Samuel
Denmark, already enrolled at school in time
for spring practice. The two-sport star officially signed with Virginia Tech although
he’s been taking classes at the Blacksburg, Va.
School.
He is one of the Hawks’ greatest athletes,
winning state championships in track while
shining on the gridiron.
Still, the Hawks had plenty of student-athletes on hand for the signing celebration.
Logan Bryant is the first athlete at Hanahan
High to earn a scholarship in lacrosse. He
signed with North Greenville.
Cross country and track and field standout
Grace Young signed with Columbia College.
Defensive football and track and field
standout Dominique Green signed with Lenoir
Rhyne. Tre Smalls, another defensive star on
the football team and a track standout, was still
deciding on either North Carolina A&T or The
Citadel.
Softball star Hallee Lizzi signed with USC
Sumter.
In baseball, pitcher Malcolm VanBuren
signed with North Carolina State while teammate Parker Futrell inked with Charleston
Southern.
Van Buren has had success at all levels.
“He’s got huge hands, huge feet and is only
going to get bigger and stronger,” Hanahan
coach Brian Mitchell said. “He’s a great baseball player, a great student and a great person.
He comes from a great family. But the thing
that impresses me most about him is his work
ethic. His work ethic is outstanding. He’s just
one of these guys who never quits working.
He’s at the field every day doing what he
needs to do to get better, whether it is running
or throwing. His work ethic is outstanding.”
At Hanahan, Van Buren, a right-handed
pitcher helped lead the Hawks to a district final
last spring with a 4-1 record and a 2.38 ERA
as a junior. He pitched 32 innings and allowed
just 15 hits while striking out 46.
Futrell was the Hawks’ closer last spring
and boasted impressive statistics, including
two victories and three saves. He pitched 27
1/3 innings and tallied a 1.28 ERA and 19
strikeouts.
Bishop England High School
At Bishop England, four student-athletes
took part in the signing ceremony: Blake Jeresaty, Nolan Coulter, Joel Bunting and Logan
Leask.
Jeresaty played football for the Bishops
and was a four-year starter, playing on a state
championship team his freshman year. He was
all-state and All-Lowcountry and was selected
to play in the North-South game. He signed
with Wofford.
The other three signees are soccer players.
Coulter signed with Lehigh, Bunting signed
with USC Upstate while Leask signed with
Presbyterian College.
Coulter played on two-time state champ SC
United and was in the ODP developmental
pool. He also played for the South Carolina
Battery Academy.
Bunting was a four-year starter for the Bishops and was a three-time captain. He helped
the Bishops win the state title in 2013 and has
been named all-state.
Look for more information and photos in
next week’s paper as the paper went to print
before the actual signings took place.

DIS Elementary Spelling Bee Champs!
DIS spelling champ takes second at districtwide bee, headed to regional Spellbound!
A Daniel Island School 4th grader is heading to the Berkeley County School District’s
top spelling competition, after winning the Daniel Island School Elementary Spelling Bee
last week. Word wiz Tyler Adorno (right) captured first place at DIS. Fifth grader Sullivan
Conroy (left), who also displayed some savvy skills, came in second. The District Spelling
Bee will take place at Westview Middle School at 6 pm on February 25. Conroy will serve
as an alternate.
After taking the top spot at Daniel Island School’s 2015-16 spelling bee, eighth-grader Emily
Williams claimed first runner up at the Berkeley County School District bee last week. Pictured
second from left among BCSD deputy superintendent Archie Franchini and the district bee’s
first and third place finishers, Williams will compete in Spellbound!, the Lowcountry’s regional
spelling competition, in March.
