The feature article was about Park Day on Daniel Island. Children and their families were hoping to be among the lucky ones to win one of four new play homes that were being raffled off at the event. The play homes were custom creations from four local builders – John Wieland Homes, New Tradition Homes, Structures Building Co., and Phillip W. Smith GC, Inc. In addition, the J.D. Smith Co. constructed and donated a dog house for the raffle to benefit local animal rescue organizations.

A feature article explored the idea of placing a conservation easement on a portion of the land owned by the States Ports Authority on Daniel Island. The topic was discussed at a local presentation by Barry Jurs, executive director of the Lord Berkeley Conservation Trust at the time. According to Jurs, about 41% of Berkeley County was under some sort of protective status in 2012. The SPA owns about 1,300 acres of land on Daniel Island, but they were directed to sell, per legislative order, approximately 427 acres by the end of 2013. Jurs told his audience that portions of the tract would be ideal for preservation. Jurs said, “… It provides quality of life, recreation, scenic vistas. You look at what we have here and we have just a wonderful open space…(it impacts) wildlife, water quality, air quality, and it certainly protects wetlands… That is why we got to try to help you find a way to do this.”
