Graduat By DAC CARVER Staff writer In an age of modernization, commercialization and rapid change, two recent graduates of USC hope to preserve a little of the past. Heritage Preservation Associates inc., iounaea oy t^nip Bennett ana Catherine Richardson in February, is set up to determine the historical value of buildings and property. The impetus for their consultng firm began with a historical study for the Santee-Cooper Corporation on the Santee Canal. Such studies are the foundation of their newly formed business that conducts research for individuals, corporations and communities. During their study of the Santee Canal, which in the 18th and 19th centuries was a major channel for boats shipping cotton to the Lowcountry from the Midlands, Bennett and Richardson developed a social history of the plantation life that Dementia ? South Carolina is not the first state with an interest in a dementia registry, Sayetta said. Two other registries are already in operation with population statistics in New York and Florida. South Carolina will be the third. Illinois, Virgina, Michigan, California and Maryland have legislation on the books or have plans to develop a dementia registry. !; PARENT'S 1 1 Septembi Say "Thi in The G Pers Two Line: Come by Russell to place Executive I 81 Secretarial * I ^^J>ervices \ \ 9 v- - 1813 Hampton Street Columbia, South Carolina 29201 799 5696 I 10% DISCO UN T W1 W Over I 75 Bring this ad to H.

From their findings, a background will be established for a museum scheduled to be built in Moncks Corner, near the canal's southern end. "If people know who lived there 01 who built the canal and how it was, then they value these things more," said Richardson, who considers the Santee-Cooper project as the most illustrious of a brief career. More recently, Bennett and Richardson have studied the history of such Co1u m b i a - ares neighborhoods as Shandon and Granby Mill Village to help residents determine the historical significance of certain structures. Bennett and Richardson are Dar ticularly interested in the Shandon community which they say is being eaten up by commercial businesses along Devine and Millwood streets. Richardson, a native of Springfield, Va., said that from 1810 tc 1930 the Shandon community, with ontinued from page 1 Other national agencies are also working together to gather statistics on dementia. South Carolina is taking the lead nationally in the organization of its registry, Sayetta said.

"We have to be historians, researchers, writers, and we have to know architecture and something about geography." Sometimes their research requires countless hours in libraries across the state, digging up chunks of history and slowly piecing them together. Basically, the preservation qualifications of a building are relatively straightforward and follow the other. It's trying to do it all or most of it," Sayetta said.

"A building should be preserved if it has been associated with a historical person, exhibits historical style or is a part of a collection of buildings in a historic community," Bennett said. "Some buildings are worth saving. Some aren't worth saving," Richardson said. "Let's be sure we know before we tear them down." Although the firm of Bennett and Richardson is the only one in Columbia on such a professional level, the field of historical preservationists is growing. Many fellow history students in preservation have had their interest sparked by Bennett and Richardson. But many more people should be concerned about the historical importance of their communities, they said. "A collection of buildings," said Bennett, "gives a city a sense of uniqueness, a sense of place." dementia, according to Sayetta. It will be the second of its kind in the nation to study transmission of dementia disorders within the family, thus providing useful data. lEN^SERVKiT^ ED PHYSICIAN *) Complete physical V Lab Tests (Blood & Urine) y Blood Pressure Check (?
