THE COMMITTEE ON

INVITATIONS AND MEMORIAL RESOLUTIONS

To whom was referred a Concurrent Resolution (S. 1403) to request that the Department of Transportation name the intersection of Orangeburg Road and Central Avenue in Dorchester County as "Knight Crossroads" and erect, etc., respectfully

REPORT:

That they have duly and carefully considered the same and recommend that the same do pass:

HERB KIRSH for Committee.

            

A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO REQUEST THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NAME THE INTERSECTION OF ORANGEBURG ROAD AND CENTRAL AVENUE IN DORCHESTER COUNTY AS "KNIGHT CROSSROADS" AND ERECT APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS AT THIS INTERSECTION THAT CONTAIN THE WORDS "KNIGHT CROSSROADS".

Whereas, the Knight Family was one of the first families to settle in Dorchester County and has contributed to the community in various ways; and

Whereas, the Knight Family, since at least 1848, has established a long history of political as well as community service to their fellow citizens. Members of this family have served in various elected offices as members of the South Carolina House of Representatives and as Dorchester County sheriffs, judges, county council members, and other various appointed and elected positions; and

Whereas, the Knight Family has served in numerous civic and charitable organizations in service to the citizens of Dorchester County and established the Troy G. Knight Scholarship Fund at Charleston Southern University to provide scholarships to college students; and

Whereas, two Dorchester County Services Buildings, the Carl Knight Law Enforcement Center and the Troy Knight Judicial Center, have been named in honor of two Knights; and

Whereas, Carl Knight served as Dorchester County Sheriff from 1959 to 1988; and 20 years later his son, L.C. Knight, a former SLED agent from 1975-2004 and a Dorchester County Magistrate from 2005-2006, was elected to that same office; and

Whereas, Troy G. Knight, legal counsel for the Town of Summerville, a Dorchester County Magistrate and a loved and respected leader and attorney, passed away in November of 2004; and

Whereas, Troy's memory will live on through the services of Children In Crisis, Inc., which provides services to protect children suffering from abuse or neglect in our area. Children In Crisis, Inc. is very proud to be the recipient of the proceeds from the annual golf tournament, in memory of Troy; and

Whereas, Sheriff Carl Knight established in 1946 a corner store that has been used as a landmark to the citizens of Dorchester County for all of these years; and

Whereas, there are many other Knight Family members who have contributed in the economic development and to the agricultural interests of Dorchester County. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:

That the members of the General Assembly request that the Department of Transportation name the intersection of Orangeburg Road and Central Avenue in Dorchester County as "Knight Crossroads" and erect appropriate markers or signs at this intersection that contain the words "Knight Crossroads".

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation and to the Knight Family.
