April 28, 2012
10:00 AM - 2:00 PM

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has scheduled another National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day which will take place on Saturday, April 28, 2012, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. This is a great opportunity for those who missed the previous events, or who have subsequently accumulated unwanted, unused prescription drugs, to safely dispose of those medications.

Americans that participated in the DEA’s third National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day on October 29, 2011, turned in more than 377,086 pounds (188.5 tons) of unwanted or expired medications for safe and proper disposal at the 5,327 take-back sites that were available in all 50 states and U.S. territories. When the results of the three prior Take-Back Days are combined, the DEA, and its state, local, and tribal law-enforcement and community partners have removed 995,185 pounds (498.5 tons) of medication from circulation in the past 13 months.

“The amount of prescription drugs turned in by the American public during the past three Take-Back Day events speaks volumes about the need to develop a convenient way to rid homes of unwanted or expired prescription drugs,” said DEA Administrator Michele M. Leonhart. “DEA remains hard at work to establish just such a drug disposal process, and will continue to offer take-back opportunities until the proper regulations are in place.”

“With the continued support and hard work of our more than 3,945 state, local, and tribal law enforcement and community partners, these three events have dramatically reduced the risk of prescription drug diversion and abuse, and increased awareness of this critical public health issue,” said Leonhart.

Some aspects of island life will not change that week. KICA members can request guest passes for houseguests as usual (though at the Island Center, not at the main gate). Island speed limits will not be changed (some were recently adjusted at the recommendation of the Safety and Security committee; these are permanent changes). Sandcastle activities and facilities will be available as usual, although they might be crowded at times.

In a nutshell, between Aug. 6 and 12:
• Approximately 30,000 people will be involved
• 115 buses will move people around the island
• Most commercial activity not related to the PGA will cease
• Gate pass operations will move to Island Center
• Daytime on-street parking will be prohibited
• Restaurants and recreational facilities will be crowded
• Traffic will be heavy, especially between 7 and 11 a.m.

At the request of PGA tournament officials, with recommendations from KICA’s staff and its Safety and Security Committee, the KICA board approved four items at its March board meeting. For an event of this size, these items help provide an enjoyable, and most importantly a safe, experience for members, guests, PGA visitors and players:

• Commercial activity: From Monday, Aug. 6 through Sunday, Aug. 12, most commercial work on the island will be suspended. This includes all construction and routine repair work, all landscaping work including regularly scheduled yard maintenance, scheduled large deliveries (such as furniture), and household movers. It does not apply to mail and package deliveries (by UPS, FedEx and the postal service); deliveries for food service, catering, and fuel; trash services; household workers such as health aids and housekeepers; pool maintenance; or, by special arrangement, emergency repairs.

• Gate passes: All gate passes will be issued at Island Center, where the PGA’s credential operation will also be. This is located at the
intersection of River and Bohicket roads and Betsy Kerrison Parkway. This will permit the security gates to keep traffic flowing at all times.

• On-street parking: From Monday, Aug. 6 through Sunday, Aug. 12,
parking will not be allowed on KICA-owned streets from 5 a.m. to 6 p.m., with the exception of Atlantic Beach Court members who may park on Muirfield Lane (Beachwalker Drive, and the streets in the Settlement and Ocean Palms are not owned by KICA). The ban will help keep streets clear for emergency vehicles; facilitate the movement of tournament buses and local traffic; prevent off-island tournament attendees from crowding streets, particularly those near the Ocean Course, and blocking driveways and mailboxes; and prevent attendees not staying on Kiawah from circumventing the parking lots at Freshfields by asking members for guest passes. Vehicles parked on the street will be towed at the owner’s expense.

• Recreational vehicles: RVs are normally banned on Kiawah, but up
to six tournament players who travel the tournament circuit in their RVs will be permitted to park their own RV’s within the old inn site. The RV area will be shielded from street views and have temporary electrical hook-ups. For KICA members trying to plan their week, here is additional pertinent
information.

People: The Numbers
PGA and resort staff have provided an estimate of the number of people
who will be involved in the tournament:

• 27 - 30,000 total participants
• 3,600 officials, hospitality personnel, volunteers and vendors
• 800 - 1,100 credentialed media
• 1,700 employees for the community association, resort, developer and town
• 172 safety and security personnel (EMS, fire, police, etc.)
• 35 states represented in the volunteer pool, with most volunteers from
the greater Charleston area and 15-20% Kiawah residents

Lodging: Where Will They Stay and What Will They Pay?
4,000 - 5,000 tournament attendees, some of them members, are expected to stay on Kiawah. Most resort properties are committed for players, caddies, and PGA staff and officials. The resort did not provide rate information for the week, but a check of several rental agencies revealed that properties are still available, at rates well above normal summer rates and some requiring a rental for the full tournament period. The same is not true for Charleston and North Charleston hotels, for which advertised prices are the same during PGA week as other summer weeks and minimum stays, if any, are two or three days.

Transportation and Parking
Parking for vehicles without Kiawah gate passes will be located at Freshfields. From there, 85 full-sized coach buses will transport attendees directly to the Ocean Course. Additionally, 30 full-sized coach busses using three shuttle routes with multiple stops will bring ticket holders staying on Kiawah to the tournament. Bike racks will be provided at some shuttle stops, as well as near the Ocean Course - for those attendees who prefer to bike to the tournament. With 115 buses traversing island roads, and 30 of those making local stops, expect slow travel and some traffic disruptions, and allow ample time when traveling off the island.

Dining and Golf Reservations
Dining options on and near Kiawah are limited and are usually crowded
during peak times. To assist Kiawah homeowners, the Governors Club offered priority dining and golf reservations to its members, and other Kiawah homeowners may now make advance reservations for resort dining and tee times. Some resort restaurants are expanding hours, and the Mingo Point Oyster Roasts, BBQ and live music will run Wednesday to Saturday evenings. The Kiawah Island Club is accepting advance dining reservations; a schedule of special dining events can be found on their website. Check individually with off-island dining establishments for their advance booking policies.

Utilities
To cope with the increased needs for electricity, Berkeley Electric Company
is installing additional electric lines. Homeowners who suffer from inadequate cell phone reception will benefit during the tournament from the installation of temporary cell phone towers. All Kiawah entities and organizations are working to maximize the quality of the tournament experience for everyone but minimize any inconveniences to homeowners. This will be a challenging and exciting time for everyone involved in the tournament. KICA is committed to making it a memorable experience for members. For more information or questions about the tournament, visit www.pga2012.com or contact the PGA offices on Kiawah at 843-768-6003 or at 2012pga@pgahq.com.]]> kicaadmin@kica.us 2012 PGA Championship Thu, 17 May 2012 14:27:31 -0500 http://kica.us/forum/read.php?6,253,253#msg-253 http://kica.us/forum/read.php?6,253,253#msg-253

These birds may have flown more than 3,000 miles non-stop from South America to get here and are now trying to feed and rest to recover from their long journey. They also need to replenish their energy levels and fat stores so that they can continue another 1,500 or more miles up to the Arctic.

It is vitally important that these birds are allowed to rest and feed without disturbance. Please keep your distance from these birds and do not walk or run through these flocks. Never allow dogs to chase these birds. Disturbance of these birds prevents them from feeding and forces them to expend unnecessary energy, which may result in their deaths.]]> kicaadmin@kica.us KICA and Town Announcements Mon, 19 Mar 2012 12:21:58 -0500 http://kica.us/forum/read.php?7,246,246#msg-246 http://kica.us/forum/read.php?7,246,246#msg-246

Charleston, South Carolina – January 11, 2012. The 8th Annual Golf Tournament for Respite Care Charleston will be held March 19, 2012 on Seabrook Island. Money raised during the tournament will be used to offset the costs of providing care and support to families affected by Alzheimer’s disease or a related form of dementia.

Tournament sponsorships are available from $100 to $5,000 but any size donation is welcome and appreciated. Golfers may register as a team or as individuals either by mail, phone or on-line at www.respitecarecharleston.org.

Respite Care Charleston is a non-profit organization that offers programs to enhance the quality of life for people suffering from memory-related diseases. The daily programs benefit participants by working to improve their lives through activities, music participation, and social interaction. These vital programs give caregivers a much-needed break and provide a support network for families. Respite Care Charleston is supported through donations, memorials, grants, volunteers, and fund raising events. Proceeds from the golf tournament represent approximately 25% of the necessary funds to be raised each year.

Respite Care Charleston is a 501(c)3 organization with locations at St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church, Charleston; All Saints Lutheran Church, Mt. Pleasant; Episcopal Church of Our Saviour, Johns Island; and Lutheran Church of the Redeemer, West Ashley.
