Grant enables Trident Academy students to mentor underprivileged students
Wednesday, October 28, 2009

Trident Academy teachers Robin Greig and Bill Gettys have received a grant that will fund a CSI (Crime Scene Investigation) Bus,  allowing Trident Academy 11th graders to reach out and mentor students at four Title One middle schools in Charleston County. The Armed Forces Communications Electronics Association (AFCEA) surprised the teachers and students with news of the grant earlier this month.

Trident Academy 11th graders are taking a yearlong intensive CSI course. Using the $1000 grant, at the end of the year the Trident Academy students will present hands-on mini lessons to 8th graders at four Title One middle schools in Charleston County. They will also design and lead a mock crime scene scenario (complete with trace evidence, potential suspects, forensic test to perform) for the middle school students to solve in teams. All of the students will end up learning about CSI techniques including fingerprinting, toxicology, blood splatter analysis, fiber and hair analysis and gunshot trajectories.

What do people really think of having paid parking on Sullivan’s Island?
All for it, as long as residents get a sticker to put on their car to be exempt from it.
 
Why is this fair- I have been coming to the beach for years and I support your commercial district.
 
Sure, considering that the neighboring beaches, Folly and Isle of Palms, have paid parking. Sullivan’s can certainly use the revenue for the many projects they need completed, mainly installing the stormwater drainage.
 

What do you think of Sullivan's Island's new noise ordinance, restricting noise from 11:00 PM to 7:00 AM?
Ridiculous -- what next, we will get fined to just walk in the commercial district?
 
All for it -- people cannot keep their windows open at night anymore because of the noise.
 
I am just going to go elsewhere to make some noise!
