Myths abound about roads and development
By DR. PAUL ROBERTS
Special to CharlestonCurrents.com
OCT.
28, 2010 - A common myth is that new roads bring new development
- I call it the "build it and they will come" myth. Conditions
have to be right for development to occur. There has to be unfilled
demand and some infrastructure -- water, sewer, schools, communications,
etc.
Roberts |
Zoning
actually plays a far more important role than transportation. How
many times have you seen an area with no planning, unsightly roadside
development and traffic congestion growing like crazy? Access is
only one of the elements contributing to development. If an area
is ready to develop, nothing is going to stop it.
It
is misguided to try to stop population increases by blocking attempts
to put in place needed long-term infrastructure. If nothing is done,
development will occur along the existing roads, empty land will
fill up with new housing, congestion will increase to the point
that it is intolerable, and the accident rate will grow. If we wait,
the only thing that can be done to prevent gridlock is to widen
the existing roads. Disruption to the community and the environment
will be significant, and the cost will be monumental. Unrestricted
access will encourage still more development including strip malls,
convenience stores and five-lane roads, which are not only dangerous,
but unsightly.
For
years, Johns Island was a rural oasis on the periphery of the Charleston
urban area. Swing bridges over the Stono River made travel unreliable.
The roads were narrow and closely lined with big trees. In 2006,
new high-level bridges over the Stono were completed and travel
became more reliable. The real estate market picked up and "land
for sale" signs appeared everywhere. Several larger housing
developments were opened and dozens of smaller ones were planned.
Then, the real estate crash of 2007 brought the anticipated boom
to a temporary halt.
Since
then, Boeing and Google have moved into the area. Advent Environmental
Inc. of Mount Pleasant will participate in a contract from the U.S.
Air Force worth up to $350 million. SAIC has been awarded a $6.3
million contract for tactical mobile systems by the U.S. Navy. Wind
Mill Research, Mankiewicz Coatings LLC and a major tire manufacturer
have all made plans to locate here. The new director of the Port
of Charleston anticipates a revived future. Retirees have discovered
the Lowcountry is a great place to live. Johns Island will participate
in the area-wide growth that is about to happen.
Some
say that there are no real traffic problems on Johns Island. Many
places in the region are more heavily populated and have more traffic.
However, a traffic problem on Johns Island already exists. The sea
islands of Kiawah and Seabrook provide jobs for about 11,000 area
citizens. Freshfields shoppers add still more traffic. In addition,
there are more than 100,000 island visitors during the course of
a year for vacation and recreation - golf, tennis, boating, birding
or just to relax on the beaches. While the islands have more than
6,000 homes, residents account for fewer than 5 percent of daily
trips. By 2030, total traffic to and from Kiawah and Seabrook will
average more than 20,000 trips per day.
In
addition, about 10,000 "commute-to-work" trips per day
are forecast for Johns Island residents who live to the south and
east of Maybank Highway and work off-island. What's worse, the population
in this portion of Johns Island can double without a single change
to the current zoning.
Congested
roads are dangerous, and congestion is reached at much lower traffic
volumes on narrow country roads without shoulders. It is important
to address this problem now while something can still be done-while
open land still exists, and construction costs are still low.
Communities
that don't plan for future growth will be forced to live out their
futures in poorly functioning, unattractive and degraded environments.
Only if the community acts now can we provide the safe, attractive
infrastructure needed to retain the rural character of Johns Island.
Dr.
Paul Roberts was formerly chairman of the board of directors of
the Kiawah Island Community Association. The Association represents
more than 7,000 property owners on Kiawah Island and 100 full- and
part-time workers, virtually all of whom commute to and from work
across Johns Island. Dr. Roberts also served as chairman of the
board of the Kiawah Conservancy, dedicated to preserving the natural
habit of the Sea Islands. He formerly was a professor of transportation
engineering and director of the Center for Transportation studies
at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Voting isn't
hard, but making the decisions can be
By ANN THRASH, contributing editor
OCT.
28, 2010 - Deciding who to vote for used to be simple. It doesn't
seem to be that way anymore.
Thrash |
Think
for a minute about the first election you voted in. Now think about
this: How did you make up your mind who to vote for? The first voting
experience for me was a few months after I turned 18, and it was
the 1980 presidential election -- incumbent Democrat Jimmy Carter
vs. Republican challenger Ronald Reagan (and independent John Anderson,
lest we forget). There were, of course, a bunch of state and local
offices on the ballot, too.
Watching
the presidential debates helped with the national-level decision,
but for all the state and local races, I had two basic sources of
information: One was the local newspaper, and the other was my parents,
who were always happy to share their views and have the kind of
open-minded conversations with me that helped me flesh out for myself
what I thought. When I cast my ballot, I felt like I'd done my homework
and had made a pretty well-informed decision. Most of my friends
seemed to approach voting the same way.
Fast-forward
30 years, and I have to wonder about how naïve it all sounds:
How did we figure out who to vote for without the massive number
of political ads on TV, without talk radio and partisan TV pundits,
without Internet sites and blogs and chat rooms all over the political
spectrum, and without Facebook pages with friends (and therefore
friends of friends of friends) making a case for their favorite
candidates? Now it seems simplistic to have ever voted the old-fashioned
way, the way we did when we had only a handful of close family and
friends, a single trusted news source, and our gut instincts to
rely on.

Big Picture." Among the guests is publisher Andy

Maybe
it's the general sobering up that comes with maturity and the ability
to see shades of gray in life, but deciding who to vote for today
strikes me as extremely complicated -- fraught with unseen, unanticipated
consequences that result from the buttons we push, and don't push,
in the voting booth. As the years seem to grow shorter and the shadow
of what kind of world we'll be leaving the next few generations
grows longer, every choice seems to be one we're making for more
than just ourselves. And that makes the choices harder.
The
last two or three elections, I've pushed the green "Vote"
button, pushed aside the privacy curtain and walked out of my polling
place feeling more unsettled than satisfied. Were my choices wise?
I've found myself thinking I could have found time to do more research
… could have taped the debates on TV for a second look …
could have gone to a candidate forum … could have lingered
on those Facebook friends' postings and asked why they're so passionately
for or against particular candidates.
In
an age of 24-hour opinion/news, with so much information out there,
so many ways to get it, and so much at stake, it can be harder than
ever to know who or what to really trust. In the end, maybe the
best we can do is what we did before all the information clutter:
rely on thoughtful conversations with those we know, trust and respect,
and rely on our gut. That's really all we can count on in the voting
booth anyway.

of more than 40 North Korean refugees.
LiNK's
mission is to raise awareness of North Korea's lack of basic freedoms
such as the freedom of speech, assembly, religion, movement and
many more. Through grassroots campaigns and the support and assistance
of local, state and government leaders from around the world, LiNK
brings the horror stories of North Korea to light.

Lucas
improved, built Lowcountry rice mills
Jonathan
Lucas (ca. 1754-1821) was born in Cumberland, England,
the son of John Lucas and Ann Noble. His mother's family owned mills
in the town of Whitehaven, which undoubtedly served as the source
of Lucas's skill as a millwright. Little is known of his early life
in England. He married Mary Cooke on May 22, 1774. They had five
children before Mary died sometime between 1783 and 1786. He then
married Ann Ashburn of Whitehaven.
 Lucas
immigrated to South Carolina around 1786, which proved a fortuitous
time and place for the arrival of a talented young millwright. Lowcountry
rice planters had greatly increased the production of their rice
fields by employing tidal rice cultivation. But the process of rice
milling or "pounding"- removing the outer husk from the
rice grains - had failed to evolve in a like manner. Most rice was
still pounded by hand with wooden mortars and pestles or by crude
pecker or cog mills powered by animals. Neither of these methods
kept pace with the rapidly expanding production of tidal rice fields.
Planters could sell unhusked or "rough" rice, but for
a considerably lower price than cleaned rice.
Soon
after his arrival in South Carolina, Lucas was put to work by a
Santee River rice planter to improve the output of his plantation's
rice mill. Lucas experimented with wind and water as power sources,
and within a short time his efforts bore fruit. His new pounding
mill design was powered by an undershot waterwheel fed by a mill
pond. It was first employed at Peach Island Plantation on the North
Santee River in 1787. Lucas continued to improve his design, building
his first tide-powered mill in 1791. Two years later at Henry Laurens's
Mepkin plantation he built a tide-powered mill, complete with rolling
screens, elevators, and packers. The highly automated mill needed
just three workers to operate and could pack as many as twenty six-hundred-pound
barrels of clean rice on a single tide.
With
the assistance of his son Jonathan Jr., Lucas constructed his rice
mills throughout the Lowcountry, providing a means for South Carolina
planters to clean their ever-growing output of rice. He purchased
his own plantation on Shem Creek near Charleston, where he also
established his own rice- and saw-milling operation. Lucas later
purchased land in Charleston and built the city's first toll rice
mill. In 1817 Lucas built the first steam-powered rice mill in the
United States. Jonathan Lucas Jr. also had a successful career as
a millwright, patenting an improved rice-cleaning machine in 1808
that found great favor in the rice-receiving ports of England and
western Europe. His son Jonathan Lucas III built South Carolina's
largest antebellum rice mill, West Point Mills, on the Ashley River
in 1839. Jonathan Lucas died on April 1, 1821, and was buried in
St. Paul's Cemetery, Charleston.

Five tips
for parents
As a parent,
you swore you wouldn't sound like your own parents when scolding
your children, but all too often you find yourself sounding exactly
like your mom or dad. Somehow these statements just pop right out
of your mouth.
Flowers |
We asked Jessica
Shields Flowers, an early childhood specialist and founder of Ripple
- Early Childhood Experts, for the top 5 phrases we should change
in our "parenting vocabulary" and some suggestions for
better phrases to improve parent-child communication.
- "Don't
run." Give your child useable information that his brain
can understand. Children do not understand the word "don't."
Your child hears "run" and then is confused by your
reaction. Try using "Walk with me so I can make sure you
are safe. My job is to keep you safe and your job is to help keep
it safe."
- "Don't
talk to me that way." Teaching respect means that you must
model what talking respectfully looks and sounds like. Your child
learns by what you do.
- "I
told you it's bedtime, right now." Most children ages 5 and
under have immature inner speech, which means they literally think
in pictures with no sound. Your child needs pictures of what bedtime
looks like. Show them what's first, second, last and make it a
routine. Involve them in the process and they realize "This
is what bedtime looks like!"
- "You're
driving me crazy!" You've just put your child in charge of
your feelings. Instead, take a breath and say assertively, "I
feel angry when you interrupt me. If you need my attention, tap
me on my hand."
- "Good
job, honey." Effective praise is about noticing and describing
what your child has done, and it actually stimulates the prefrontal
lobes of your child's brain. Also when noticing, highlight their
strengths, which teaches them their abilities. "You pushed
your chair in, that was helpful."
These are just
a few to get you started. Parenting is a lifelong journey, so please
have loving kindness knowing that change takes time and no matter
what, you can do it! For more on the Ripple Effect, visit www.rippleeffect.us.
