(WCIV) — A steady amount of cars frequent the Sangaree area in Berkeley County each day
It has caused major concerns for years for children and parents
"My biggest concern is getting the children across Royle Road to get to the three schools that are across Royle Road from Sangaree," said Tommy Newell
he says there was an accident every 10 days right outside the schools
That's why a roundabout and pedestrian bridge were set to be constructed
they were set to begin construction in 2018
It's nearly 2021 and all that's happened is the clearing out of trees
"We are tired of the delay," said Newell
Our ABC News 4 Crew called all the current council members who served on the previous administration
All said they didn't have much information
We even reached out to the former Berkeley County supervisor
The budget was originally set at around $2 million
Newell says that was only allotted for the pedestrian bridge
It has now doubled to over $4 million - the roundabout accounting for the extra cost
Newell says he's been open and honest with the public on the status of the project
He adds the project sits very close to his heart and is happy construction has finally begun
"I’m ecstatic; I drive by it every day – real slow like an old granddaddy
It’s a project that is near and dear to me because it’s to keep my constituents' children and them safe," said Newell
The project is expected to be completed by the end of 2021
It's been paid for through the Penny One Cent Sales Tax

The 5th grade teacher has only been in the classroom for three years
but found he had a natural way to teach students how to think positively
He places a priority on his work to teach students how to grow as readers
but he believes his biggest contribution to their growth is his ability to make them think positively about themselves

but I'm really good at making kids feel good
and not with stuff that's sugar-coated
and I appreciate the work that they give me," he said

Mignone says he was surprised to learn he was a finalist and even more taken back when his name was announced as District Teacher of the Year
He touts his ability to build relationships as what possibly sets him apart
Mignone said as the district's new teacher-leader
he is looking forward to meeting and working with more BCSD educators

“I want to thank the community members for providing information to our deputies that helped lead to these arrests,” said Berkeley County Sheriff Duane Lewis
we can make Berkeley County a safer place to live
Securing our schools has been a top priority since the Parkland shooting
School security measures have changed over the years
but even those can be breached leaving teachers and administrators as the first line of defense
“They're our first responders,” said Tim Knight
the safety and security coordinator at the Berkeley County School District
are prepared and have the tools necessary.”
Sangaree Intermediate School’s 2016 Teacher of the Year
prides herself on making her classroom her students’ second home
“They’re my babies once they walk in the door
and they're my babies once they leave,” she said
and she will admit that school is not like the schoolhouse she grew up attending
Like the earthquake and fire drills of her generation
lockdown drills for intruders and active shoots are the new norm
and they know at the end of the day I'm not going to let anything happen to them.”
“They're going to see if you're nervous
you just try to stay calm and make sure that they feel comfortable and safe in your classroom
we don't have time to say should I do this
should I do that,” said Principal Angel Siegling
It's got to be common sense or a feeling in the gut.”
That is exactly what the teachers and staff at Sangaree Intermediate
Remain confident and calm and prepare students for growing up in today’s world
It could happen at the airport,” said Siegling
We need to prepare our kids for all of those
We don't want anyone to be scared but just to be aware and to know what to do.”
It’s a world that has changed a lot since Siegling started her career in education at Sangaree Intermediate more than 30 years ago
all doors were open and doors to classrooms were open,” she explained
“I don't really like having all of our interior doors locked
We don't want students to feel like they're in a jail
A world where the news of schools shootings is a weight our teachers carry with them into the classroom each day
“It breaks my heart for those teachers because these kids become your kids,” said Patrick
but it also reminds you to stay vigilant and make sure you're on top of your game and you know second nature that you know exactly what you're going to do if that ever happens
Administrators want parents to know they play a role in their children’s safety too
“I know they appreciate all of the security features that we have,” said Knight
“They appreciate everything that we are doing,” said Knight
“We do need their support because they help us reinforce those rules
by something as simple as manners—holding the door open for a manner and letting the person slip by the front sign-in desk
It’s what ABC News 4 and the Berkeley County School District partnered together to show parents
“Typically as parents we know other parents,” said Jacki Bowers
who has a son in the fourth grade at Sangaree Intermediate
“It’s not rude to not let the other person in,” Bowers said

(WCIV) - It was 15 years ago when a tornado ripped through the Sangaree subdivision
Winds exceeded 100 miles per hour when the tornado tore through the town on Mother's Day
One person was killed; ten others were injured
David Wilkes knows the unpredictability of tornadoes and says the devastation in Oklahoma brings back many memories
"It looked like it was coming this way
We all jumped in different cars going down the road."
He said his family headed to his mother-in-law's house when the storm hit
It was there that they experienced the twister's powerful force once they got inside to safety
"As we pulled up in the yard and got out
the wind got up under the truck and picked the truck up took it 100 feet away and dropped it down through a tree," Wilkes said
his house on Frankie Lane had only minor damage
The tornado destroyed five homes and damaged dozens of others throughout the community
"You knew Hugo was coming through and knew it was going to be bad
but with a tornado you have no idea where it's going or what it's going to do," he said
Jessica Exum also lives on Frankie Lane and says she sat through the twister because she didn't have a choice
"It sounded like a freight train," she said
"We went to get out of the door at the very beginning and there was so much pressure we couldn't even get out the door."
She recalls hunkering down in her hallway with kids who feared for their lives
"My daughter was just sitting there screaming she was probably seven at the time and she kept saying we are going to die," Exum said
They all escaped unscathed and had no loss to their homes
but Exum says she can understand on a much smaller scale what Oklahoma is going through

Did the heading of this trio of 3D Blu-ray releases from Kino Lorber provoke a double-take
Both the Paravision and Panavision process had been around in 1953
but it wasn’t until 1972 that the latter had supplanted CinemaScope as the industry standard in widescreen cinematography
The trades referred to Paravision as Paramount’s “newly developed process” when in truth it had been around for years
The camera used to shoot Sangaree (1953) was designed by Paramount’s in-house special effects wizard
The design won Eduoart a technical Oscar in 1937
but Paramount board chairman Adolph Zukor initially chose not to put the process to use
At the time business was booming and there was no need for gimmickry to lure audiences
Skip ahead 16 years when television posed a concrete threat to ticket sales and the time had finally arrived to dust off the stereoscopic cameras
No sooner did fledgling 3D productions Bwana Devil and House of Wax begin breaking box office records that Paramount stepped up and became the first major studio to develop its own in-house stereoscopic process
“I stated that three-dimensional pictures were the next big thing in the industry,” Zukor wrote in his autobiography
“The Public is Never Wrong.“ With 10 days of 2D filming already in the can
Zukor took to the Sangaree soundstage and proceeded to call “cut!” on director Edward Ludwig’s set
“Then we got an old stereo-camera,” he continued
“with which we had been experimenting 15 years ago up from the basement and shot the picture in 3D with Technicolor.” Alas
stereoscopy and advance word combined couldn’t make a box office smash out of Sangaree
With 73 features and an accumulated box office take of $100 million behind them
Paramount entrusted their 3D unit in the care of the highly productive production duo
a former head of publicity at Paramount and associate producer under Cecil B
DeMille first teamed with former ‘B’ movie publicity director Thomas in 1940
The duo brought their pictures in on time and under budget
“We don’t want to make million-dollar pictures
We just want to make a million dollars.” Their unbroken string of box office successes prompted the synergetic nickname
Advance word pegged it the best thing to hit screens since Gone With the Wind when in fact another Selznick film comes to mind: Duel in the Swamp
Sangaree opens on a deathbed scene with Gen
Darby (Lester Matthews) bequeathing his titular estate to Dr
a friend and the son of an indentured slave
he can’t entrust a fortune the size of his to his daughter Nancy (Arlene Dahl)
Pine-Thomas never got the pick of ‘A’-list players
Originally scripted with Clark Gable and Lana Turner in mind
pricier talent was generally overlooked in favor of more cost-effective contract players
Dahl and Lamas’ torrid on-set love affair made for prime tabloid kindling
(The two were married to each other from 1954 to 1960.) As an actress
Dahl photographed well while Lamas was handsome to a fault
the fault being his acting process generally entailed removing his shirt
What’s the first thing that comes to mind at the mention of Fernando Lamas
“You look marvelous!” the catchphrase assigned by Billy Crystal for his riotous impression of the actor on “Saturday Night Live.” Enjoy the unintentional laugh when Morales greets Nancy with
The three movies in the set have been made available in both 2D and 3D versions
I must confess to not owning a 3D television
Having seen more than my fair share of movies from behind Polarized specs
I feel capable of faking my way through a “flattie.” Set bound and curiously claustrophobic
the camerawork tends to favor lateral movement rather than plumbing the depth of the frame
the filmmakers did their best to limit the number of cheap “coming at you” effects
moments where tossed objects cause audience members to duck
But is that what the paying public really came to see
Or was it a team of horses bolting at the camera or a casque of wine hurtling towards your lap

The greatest find on the disc is the 3D coming attraction
Fake headlines flash across the screen ballyhooing cinema’s latest technological marvel
a Technicolor red curtain parts so that our two leads

Lamas’ idea of explaining depth perception involves forming an invisible hourglass with his hands while leering at Dahl’s decolletage.

Jacob Philip (left) is accused of killing Ashley Kaney (right) and her 8-year-old daughter
Days after 26-year-old Ashley Kaney and her 8-year-old daughter
were found dead in their beds at their Sangaree home
friends of the slain woman had a common question on their minds: Why
Berkeley County investigators have called the deaths an isolated case of domestic violence
but they’ve said nothing about a motive for why young Riley was strangled and her mother killed in a separate bedroom in their Kershaw Road home
Just how Kaney died remains a mystery as well as the county coroner’s office conducts further tests
At the center of the case is Kaney’s boyfriend
who has been charged with two counts of murder in connection with the deaths
Philip reportedly confessed to the killings after Virginia Beach police picked him up late Tuesday
confirming the worst fears of Kaney’s friends
They said it was no secret that she loved Philip
but her friends had reservations about his temper and aggressive nature
Kaney spoke glowingly of her relationship in a Facebook post
Nothing beats quality time with the one you love
She was found dead in her home four days later
The Aiken native met her alleged killer at The Dive Bar and Grill at Joint Base Charleston
off-again relationship that lasted about seven months
Stone said Kaney confided that her relationship with Philip was tinged with darker elements that often perplexed her
Stone said Philip was a “beast of a man” who had a short fuse that was ignited only when he consumed alcohol
Virginia Beach police said Philip is 6 feet tall and weighs about 225 pounds
6 inches tall and weighed about 140 pounds
“He has gotten physical with her in the past
That was just in his demeanor,” Stone said
“I tried to talk her out of staying with him
said she celebrated her birthday last month by visiting Kaney in Sangaree
she ended up consoling the woman after Philip admitted cheating on her
“He had expressed to her that he hated kids and he didn’t want to be around her daughter
he went out and cheated on her,” Stone said
Kaney asked Philip to move out of their home
His refusal was eventually met with reconciliation
“He turned around and said he was sorry and he was going to make things right,” Stone said
“She told me she might be making a mistake by staying with him
My Sister’s House Executive Director Elmire Raven said repeated apologies and claims that violent acts will never happen again are common occurrences in the cycle that is domestic violence
My Sister’s House is a nonprofit organization that provides free services and resources to empower the victims of domestic violence and their children
abusive behavior — the signs are always there,” Raven said
that love and affection and attachment are also there
As human beings we always want to hope that things will get better
If you love someone you want to hope that things will get better.”
Stone said her biggest fear became a reality when she learned of Kaney’s death
where police stopped him Tuesday after he was spotted in a parking lot in a vehicle that had been stolen earlier in the evening
He is charged with grand larceny in connection with that vehicle
Adam Bernstein said authorities also are investigating possible ties between Philip and a hit-and-run wreck that occurred in that area before his arrest
Philip is a Petty Officer 3rd Class in the U.S
Navy and a student with the elite Naval Nuclear Power Training Unit in Goose Creek
the unit’s mission is to provide training for enlisted personnel in the operation
maintenance and supervision of Naval nuclear propulsion plants
Garza on Thursday did not respond to questions about the unit’s requirements to become a student
what Philip was studying at the nuclear school and what his specific assignment was to be when he completed his training
How the military will deal with his arrest also wasn’t clear
“Every day when she got off the school bus I could see her skipping
just skipping with her little book bag on her back.”
said she worried that those who didn’t know Kaney would judge her out of speculation that she didn’t do enough to save her daughter by choosing to stay with Philip
“I can promise you at any moment if Ashley thought her life and her daughter’s life were in danger she would have not been with him
There’s nothing that any one could have done different.”
“None of these people knew that there was a monster among us
his face was one of those faces,” Holmes said
