Activists, leaders disagree over equity panel rejection, but work continues

Charleston City Council voted down two attempts in two months to make permanent a city panel devoted to rooting out institutional racism, leaving members and supporters wondering where to go from here and why it was rejected in the first place.

Initially created as an outgrowth of City Council’s 2018 formal apology for Charleston’s role in perpetuating slavery, the Commission on Equity, Inclusion and Racial Conciliation assembled dozens of local residents to take a hard look at vestiges of racism that remain in city government. The group’s August report names 125 specific approaches to rethink local institutions, from law enforcement reform and reparations to public transit funding.

Scrutiny of a handful of the report’s bolder points led some leaders to temper their support.

The final Sept. 14 measure to reject making the city’s Commission on Equity, Inclusion and Racial Conciliation permanent narrowly failed, 7-6. Votes in favor came from Councilmembers Dudley Gregorie, Carol Jackson, Robert Mitchell, Jason Sakran, Keith Waring and Mayor John Tecklenburg. Councilmembers Marie Delcioppo, Kevin Shealy, Karl Brady, Mike Seekings, Peter Shahid, Harry Griffin and Ross Appel voted against the measure.

But the initial rejections don’t mean the panel is gone for good.

“There is nothing new to announce regarding the commission other than we are working through language on the proposed ordinance to make it permanent,” commission co- chair Sakran told the City Paper.

Making the commission permanent would provide a mechanism to keep city leaders accountable on progress on the report’s recommendations, Sakran explained. But even without it, some work Sakran could be done.

“All 125 of those recommendations were received by the council … and have been divided up by standing committees,” Sakran said. “The work is continuing behind the scenes. The commission lasted for over a year, and I don’t view this as a huge hiccup. It’s a part of the public process.”

However, some say without the permanent commission holding folks accountable, it’s unlikely that real change will come.

“You had top-notch people on this commission — some of the best and most skilled experts we have locally — volunteering their time to advise the city on how to be bigger and better,” said commission member Kimberly Butler. “I am reluctant to believe that our council members will remain accountable if we don’t have that permanent commission.”

Even if it were made permanent, there’s still no guarantee that any of the proposals will be accomplished or even moved toward.

But Butler said some of the recommendations should seem like obvious steps, like reducting poverty rates in Black communities, introducing anti-bias training for city officials or establishing a Fair Housing Assistance Program.

“I’m not so crazy to think that everything we proposed will or Butler even has to be accomplished for us to see demonstrable change, but a lot of it is lowhanging fruit,” she said.

Sakran said the recommendations outlined in the report are in the process of being distributed to standing committees with plans for work to begin soon.

Commission co-chairs Dudley Gregorie and Sakran have expressed some optimism for the commission’s future, saying the measure’s wording may be the largest barrier for some council members.

“I am optimistic,” Sakran said. “We are working with a few council members that voted no about some of the reasons they voted no and trying to tweak some of the language. There are no guarantees, of course, but the lines of communication are open.”

“I have made the decision to step aside” Charleston City Councilwoman Marie Delcioppo resigned last week, citing unspecified health concerns. A special election will be held Jan. 11, 2022, to elect a new councilmember for District 1, which represents Ansonborough downtown and Daniel Island.

This week’s crane count: 21 As of Oct. 18, 2021, 21 cranes on 11 worksites were spotted on the peninsula this week. For more details, visit our website.

Charleston 10-year plan OK’d, with unique guidelines Charleston City Council voted unanimously Oct. 12 to enact the city’s sweeping new comprehensive plan, centered on discouraging development in low-lying, flood-prone areas.

This elevation-based development plan is the first of its kind in the state and seeks to address the growing threat of climate change in the Lowcountry.

South Carolina municipalities are required to develop a new comprehensive plan every 10 years.

“Generally speaking, we are very pleased with this plan, it’s clear that it’s taking a positive new direction, incorporating a lot of tough lessons learned over the last few decades,” Coastal Conservation League’s (CCL) communities and transportation senior project manager Betsy La Force said during a July 20 meeting, where the plan was given first reading.

Zoning changes like those outlined in the new plan were written to help the city avoid home buyouts and costly infrastructure improvements, a city spokesman said, citing millions spent in flood-prone home buyouts along Church Creek in West Ashley.

But not all developments in the highlighted areas will be the same, city officials said.

Other key components in the city plan include affordable housing unit development. City officials have spoken at length about the need for 16,000 new units by 2030 to meet demand based on population projections. Over the last 20 years, public and nonprofit entities in the city have worked to create or preserve an average of 94 affordable housing units per year, the plan states.

While the comprehensive plan itself doesn’t change laws or regulations, it is used to inform and guide lawmakers and leaders on future decisions. The full plan can be read at charlestoncityplan.com.

Charleston police horseback patrols could return under deal

6

The sound of police horses clopping through downtown could return under a public-private partnership approved Oct. 12 by members of Charleston City Council.

Council considered a proposed agreement between the Charleston Police Department (CPD) and the Charleston Area Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) to outfit and train two horses and officers for one year to

establish the new mounted patrol unit.

Charleston police maintained a mounted patrol unit from 1978 until 2011, when it was folded to save money.

As part of the agreement, CVB is charged with costs and expenses for the one-year term of the deal, including purchasing the horses, equipment, training and operation. Bureau vice president Doug Warner said Palmetto

Carriage Works, which runs a horse-drawn carriage tour business downtown, has agreed to care for and transport the animals.

Two bay draft horses have already been identified for the patrol, according to the agreement, named Watson and Holmes.

CPD officials indicated they wanted to restart the mounted patrols during discussions about the new business improvement

district downtown but didn’t have the infrastructure or budget, Warner said.

Operationally, police officials said mounted patrols offer visibility that other patrols don’t.

“They can go places police cruisers and motorcycles can’t, and they offer the officer a higher vantage point for patrolling,” said CPD public information officer Elisabeth Wolfsen. —Sam Spence

With six votes against the measure at the Sept. 14 meeting, where it was last on the agenda, he has plenty of people to work with.

“I think the commission needs to be in place,” Shahid said. “However, there are certain parts of the commission ... that speak about defunding the police, reparations ... it looks like we’re supporting defunding the police and reparations, but I know the intent of what we’re trying to accomplish here.”

Others are less hopeful.

“It does feel like it’s deeper than semantics,” Butler said. “It feels more politically charged than necessary. I can’t imagine why anything in that report would be disputed by a councilman or any of their constituents if they took time to actually read it.”

The solutions presented in the report seek to remedy complex, multifaceted problems, most of which got little discussion in the debate, such as health care.

Others were a bit sharper in what they thought of the process. Charleston Black Lives Matter leader Marcus McDonald said he felt really defeated after the first vote against the permanent commission.

“We had put in over a year’s worth of work,” he said.

McDonald drew comparisons between commission detractors and historical attempts by violent extremists to stoke racial terror in a time of social change.

“What were they trying to do?” he asked.

“Incite fear. Stop progress. They were afraid, just like I’m sure the politicians are afraid,” he said.

In a City Paper op-ed earlier this month, Butler and six others wrote, “City council’s rejection of the commission’s report directly contradicts its stated commitment to address the legacies of slavery and Jim Crow and present-day racially biased public policy, as was expressed in its 2018 apology for slavery.”

Butler said a big part of the hesitancy may be the overuse or misunderstanding of buzzwords in the national media, like mentions of defunding the police — not cited in the report — or critical race theory — which is mentioned.

“We have to realize that Charleston is changing every day,” she said. “We have new thoughts and perspectives coming into our city, and that’s outside of just race. Some people can’t even afford housing, and that’s essential. Many of our families in North Charleston are still living in food deserts — food is essential.

Many of us still can’t afford health care — that’s essential.

“It’s about time we break up this good ol’ boy system we’ve cultivated over the years and embrace diversity if we truly want to remain one of the top cities in the country and in the world.”

Charleston, Mount Pleasant and Summerville voters have chances for change Nov. 2 O

ff-year elections in the Charleston area usually only draw a handful of voters every four years, but the issues and the stakes remain no less important. Downtown, east of the Cooper and in Summerville, quality of life concerns and questions about local leadership persist as the areas face down continued development that’s amped up congestion and consternation for residents.

We asked opposed candidates for Charleston City Council, Mount Pleasant mayor as well as Mount Pleasant and Summerville town councils to complete a short questionnaire to get a snapshot of their personalities and policy priorities.

(The answers for each are available at charlestoncitypaper.com.)

Among candidates who completed surveys, we have considered their qualifications and offer these endorsements. Each of these candidates, we believe, reflects local values at this critical time:

Charleston City Council Members of Charleston City Council have been saddled with challenge after challenge since the last municipal election.

Flooding, issues of race and equity, and expensive infrastructure projects were compounded the local impact of the pandemic.

Some poor judgment calls and a leadership vacuum on council have left many locals shaking their heads as the city struggles with the pace of change.

Stephen Bowden, an attorney for the county public defender’s office, has a chance to make a day-one contribution on City Council. Immature and reactionary leadership from District 10 has left it adrift for the past four years. Residents deserve a serious councilman. Elect Bowden.

On James Island, Carol Jackson has consistently been one of the most thoughtful and reasonable council members. She deserves another term.

issues affecting the rapidly changing east side of the downtown peninsula. He should return to council, too.

Three incumbents — Dudley Gregorie, Mike Seekings and Kevin Shealy — are unopposed and will not appear on the ballot.

A special election will be held in January to replace recently resigned Councilwoman Marie Delcioppo.

With distractions gone, Charleston council members must now quit their belabored yammering and double down on making progress.

Mount Pleasant mayor, town council Mount Pleasant Mayor Will Haynie had his work cut out for him after the populist wave in the last local election, and with even more challenges dropped in his lap, he’s done a fine job. He should be reelected and keep his eye on the ball to develop more affordable housing, rein in zealous development and reduce congestion.

Residents can choose up to four council members of Mount Pleasant’s flawed at-large voting system. Incumbents Guang Ming Whitley and Gary Santos should return, along with newcomer Myra Jones.

Summerville Town Council In Summerville, Councilman Aaron Brown should be reelected to the District 1 seat he’s held since 2005. Russ Touchberry and Kima Garten-Schmidt are unopposed in Districts 3 and 5, respectively.

Some of these local elections only drew a few hundred voters in 2017. Without engaged representation in municipal government, many of the problems you see in your communities will get worse.

Each of the Nov. 2 races presents an opportunity for voters to shape the future of their communities.

OPINION

Vague school disciplinary law rightly blocked, but ruling appealed By Andy Brack A school-to-prison pipeline emboldened by what’s been called a vague disorderly conduct law is closed for now, but the state attorney general wants it back. Instead of appealing a law that has wrongly criminalized student behavior for too long, S.C. Attorney General Alan Wilson should let schools follow normal disciplinary protocols to do their jobs and stop wasting time in federal courts.

In a 39-page ruling, Senior U.S. District Judge Margaret B. Seymour of Columbia on Oct. 8 issued an order to permanently keep the state from enforcing a law that allowed students to be charged criminally for what the ACLU of South Carolina says can be normal adolescent behaviors “including cursing or undefined ‘disorder’ or ‘boisterousness’ behavior at school.” The judge also ruled the state couldn’t keep records of students charged under the law or an earlier version of it that was on the books for years.

“The court recognized that broadly criminalizing

students as a means to manage their behavior is not only bad policy, [but] it also violates their constitutional rights,” said Sarah Hinger, a senior staff attorney with the ACLU Racial Justice Program in a press statement. “The court has sent a clear message: Rather than funnel children into the school-to-prison pipeline over minor rule-breaking and protected First Amendment activities, schools must recognize and protect students’ rights.”

More than 5,000 S.C. students were arrested for disorderly conduct between 2015 and 2020. More than 70% of those arrests occurred at schools — and disproportionately among students of color and students with disabilities, the ACLU said.

“Black students across the state were more than six times as likely as white classmates to be targeted under the law and arrested for being ‘disorderly’ or ‘boisterous,’ ” the group said, adding that disabled students were also often charged instead of getting the support services they needed.

The case, originally filed in 2016, included a Columbia student who was arrested and taken to a detention center for crying out after a school resource officer picked up and threw a classmate to the ground.

Wilson’s office, which appealed the ruling to the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals on Oct. 12, said it

Schools need to be safe, but schools also need to follow the freedoms protected in the Constitution.

had no comment because the litigation was pending.

But it argued to Seymour that nullifying the law would take away law enforcement tools at schools and “leave matters up to school disciplinary policy.”

Seymour disagreed. She ruled the law, which was passed by the legislature in 2018 to supersede another law on the books for generations, abridged fundamental rights held by students.

“The state is capable of fashioning its law enforcement tools to address, specifically for the school context, what conduct it would criminalize and the standard by which the prohibition should be applied, and our Constitution requires no less.”

In other words, there has to be a clear process to dispense discipline in schools.

South Carolinians should expect no less.

Schools need to be safe, but schools also need to follow the freedoms protected in the Constitution.

Let’s keep schools places of learning, not places where craven politicians try to score political points by filling schools with police as a way to throw red meat to their base.

suggestions and constructive criticism to the reporters about their stories,” she said. “When Debi Chard retired, I moved my desk to sit next to Bill. I truly enjoyed the lessons, stories and laughs that came with being Bill’s neighbor in the newsroom.

“I had a baby last year and boxes of diapers still appear on my doorstep every few months,” she said. “I know they’re from Bill. He’s a very smart anchor and a thoughtful person who will be deeply missed on Lowcountry televisions.”

CHARLESTON ANCHORMAN SET TO SIGN OFF

By Andy Brack won’t be long before Bill Sharpe signs off as perhaps the best-known television news anchor Charleston has ever had. On Oct. 28, he’ll co-anchor Live 5 News for the last time, retiring at age 71 at the top of his game.

Gone from the air after 48 years will be the newsman with a comforting smile that lights up a room. His deep, gravelly voice occasionally breaks into a rich baritone of “Happy Birthday” at the bottom of a show. Viewers will miss his gentle pokes and prods with weatherman Bill Walsh or a twinkling running reminder that co-anchor Ann McGill is from Kingstree.

For generations of Charlestonians, Bill has made the news fun. But he’s also been there like a warm blanket during hurricanes, tragic deaths and shocks of lifetimes.

He’ll tell you that he’s part performer, part personality and a full-on storyteller.

“The writing for TV news is different than writing for a newspaper,” Sharpe said in a recent interview. “We strive to be conversationalists. If we’re good, we’re covering conversations. If you want more details of a story, then you go to the City Paper.”

And there it was, all at once: Charm, twinkle and a sense of joie de vivre.

Sharpe started at WCSC-TV in 1973 when reporters wrote stories on electric typewriters and ripped state and national copy from teletype machines. At age 22, he was an afternoon reporter and late-night anchor. The Charleston native recalls he might have been a 22-year-old graduate from Emory University, but he looked, maybe, 18.

“I had no gravitas, no great firsthand experience, no wisdom,” Sharpe said. A year after he joined the station, he was thrust into the anchor’s position as dual tragedies struck key newsroom personalities, one of whom suffered a heart attack and another who was one of 71 who died in a grisly Charlotte airplane crash.

In 1976, Debi Chard joined the station. She later shared the anchor desk with Sharpe for 29 years until she retired in 2019. As a team, they won numerous accolades, including a 1990 Peabody Award for excellence in coverage of Hurricane Hugo.

Through the years, they learned a key to local television news was to broadcast stories that appealed to a lot of people.

Sharpe admitted the adage “if it bleeds, it leads” sometimes proves true as stations air a lot of crime-related news. But those stories, like others on health care or local government, make it to TV because they are relevant to viewers.

“What are people talking about? What is the story of the day? Is it the murders involving the Murdaugh family or is there a riot going on downtown?”

One story still chills Sharpe. He remembered the 2015 shooting deaths of nine members of Emanuel AME Church by a white supremacist. Just after it happened, Sharpe’s boss asked him to put the tragedy in perspective.

“I wrote something at my desk. I would have to stop and break down and cry every few minutes, but I got it out. It was a good piece.” But he knew he couldn’t do it live because it was too raw, too emotional. So he videotaped it.

“It took me a couple of times to get through the taping.”

Two days later, family members of the victims shocked many by forgiving the gunman during a bond hearing that the station aired live. As it ended, the camera turned to Sharpe.

“It took me a few seconds to get composed enough to finish the report,” he said somberly. “That was one of the toughest things I’ve ever done.”

Helping to promote understanding

Past colleagues say Sharpe knows how to make people understand stories.

“Bill taught me how to sell a story to the viewers,” said former reporter Harve Jacobs, now a spokesman for North Charleston police. “No one can sell a story like he does. I always joke that if he went on the air and said Godzilla is on the Ravenel Bridge, people would drive over there to see for themselves.”

Jacobs said Sharpe would be missed.

“The old saying is no one is irreplaceable, but Bill cannot be replaced. There will never be another news anchor in Charleston to duplicate his success.”

Carter Coyle, now on the media team at the Medical University of South Carolina, recalled how Sharpe helped her throughout her five years at the station.

“Bill was one of the few people in a busy newsroom to take time to regularly offer compliments,

What’s ahead

Sharpe’s calendar isn’t too full after Oct. 28. He’ll spend more time with his wife, Katherine, and the six children they share, including his youngest son who Sharpe says is a superstar on Facebook. He knows he’ll do some volunteer work to give back to the community that he loves.

“I’m a lucky guy — a local fellow, born and raised here, who went off to school and came back and who has been able to bring the news to my people for years. That’s a great privilege. And it has given me great pleasure.”

A big part of giving back in the years ahead surely will involve interacting with people he’s informed for years.

“I love people,” Sharpe said wistfully. “That’s what energizes me the most.”

Bill Sharpe landed on-air spots in his early 20s.

Palmetto City Ballet recreates the Jazz Age in French Twist

Arts 10.20.2021

Palmetto City Ballet will present a tantalizing taste of Parisian nightlife for its season opener at the College of Charleston’s Sottile Theatre. The aptly named French Twist was developed largely by Jonathan Tabbert, the company’s artistic director and resident choreographer. And it appears to have been a passion project for the avid jazz fan.

“I have always been intrigued by the era of the ‘20s through ‘40s, when the style of fashion and music were rapidly, for that time, evolving and booming,” Tabbert told the City Paper. “Also, Edith Piaf and the film La Vie en Rose provided inspiration for the path French Twist took in the creation process.”

According to Tabbert, this time around, the action takes place in Paris, mostly within a jazz lounge, in the late 1930s.

“The stage will have a Parisian street scene as well as a lounge scene with full bar set pieces and authentic vintage accents. We also have a mixture of vintage and vintageinspired costuming that transports you back there in an instant.”

Tabbert said the ballet’s prerecorded score draws heavily upon French composer Claude Bolling’s work, specifically his jazz suites. “It is stylistically such a perfect blend of classical and jazz motifs that are insanely danceable and very catchy,” Tabbert said.

Archetypal characters like “The Ingenue,” “The Lounge Singer” and “The Bartender” drive French Twist’s plot, Tabbert said.

Although the performances were only just recently announced, Tabbert said the plan for making French Twist a reality was unique and intensive.

“The creative process is quite different for each ballet of mine, largely depending on the scope and scale of the idea or production,” he said. “Some ballets are manifestations of ideas or inspirations from years past and some are newer to fulfill a particular void in any given season. With any fulllength work, though, I would start prepping for it at a minimum the season prior.”

With the new production, Tabbert manages to tell a complicated tale through dance — a task that poses challenges, but reminds him of the connection he shares with dancers.

“As a choreographer, I seek to create movement within the general style of the ballet and then go a step further to the innate style of each character,” he said. “The ebb and flow of a plot line often directly correlates to the structure of the choreography.

When done harmoniously, the story should tell itself.”

As French Twist unfolds, audience members won’t feel like they’re observing the carefully crafted movements from afar.

“Different scenes take on a more personal or dramatic flare,” Tabbert said, “So, the audience will definitely be drawn into the action.”

After French Twist, Tabbert said, Palmetto City Ballet will pivot straight into readying its holiday performance of The Snow Queen, which features a cast of over 70 young dancers from the wider Charleston community working in conjunction with his professional artists. Tabbert hopes the ambitious production can help the company grow a national profile.

French Twist debuts at 7 p.m., Friday, at Sottile Theatre, with a matinee at 2 p.m., Saturday

American artist Romare Bearden’s prolific career is the focus of a collection of incredibly rare works now on display at the Gibbes Museum.

An event with Dacre Stoker (below) incorporates dramatic flair from Andrea St. Amand and Braxton Williams (above)

Dacre Stoker stops in Charleston to talk Dracula Literary horror royalty will step inside Charleston Library Society during Halloween week. Dacre Stoker, the Aikenbased descendant of Dracula author Bram Stoker, is slated to speak Oct. 28 and 29.

Dacre will be joined by Andrea St. Amand, an evidential psychic medium, expert in the paranormal, and scholar of Dracula and the occult, along with local actor Braxton Williams, who will portray Bram Stoker in a dramatic presentation that is both educational and entertaining.

International bestselling author Dacre Stoker has spent the last 12 years researching his famous great grand-uncle and uncovering the facts behind the myths.

This event, Dacre told the City Paper, is really about bringing to life “the story behind the story.”

Normally around this spooky time of year, Dacre travels around the world to share his research. With much about Bram and the research and creation of Dracula shrouded in mystery, Dacre has rare access to notes, journals, edits and marked-up copy from the book — not to mention his own family’s lore.

But Dacre’s Charleston event is different from his usual presentation, which he has done in 20 countries over the last 12 years.

This time, he will add in the dramatic element of having Williams portray the Irish author, who was also heavily involved in

theater, managing the Lyceum in London’s West End while writing the horror classic.

Dacre, who spent 22 years as a schoolteacher, said the dramatic element helps impart a new approach to the story.

“It keeps the memory of the theatrical side of Bram alive, while we combine it with Dracula, the Gothic side, the writing side,” said Dacre.

For years, Dacre wanted to dramatize his findings so his great grand uncle’s personal story could be brought to life. When he met St. Amand through the Horror Writers Association, the two found they had many similar interests. Not only in Dracula, the occult and Gothic literature but also in adventure. The pair has traveled to Transylvania to unlock more of the secrets of the Dracula story, leaving no stone unturned, traveling from Romania to the British Isles — even to the actual mountain top where Bram placed Castle Dracula.

Dacre said he is happy to be home this year, especially since Charleston is one of a few American places where Bram actually had a connection. Bram visited Charleston in 1896, with the Lyceum’s Henry Irving and an entire theater troupe, within the seven years he spent writing Dracula. To learn more about Bram’s time in Charleston, you’ll have to attend the presentation at the Library Society, according to Dacre.

As a special feature, rarely seen ghoulish items in the collection of the Charleston Library Society will be on display, such as

poet Henry Timrod’s blood-splattered final manuscript and haunting works by Italian artist Piranesi, rumored to have inspired the likes of Mary Shelley and Lord Byron.

“Those are things you can’t Google,” says Andrea. “You can’t see something online and get the look and feel of seeing it in person.”

Dacre said it’s not necessary to have read Dracula to enjoy the Library Society talk.

“If you’re interested in literature, we pull the curtain back on one of the most famous works of English literature. If you like anything to do with Dracula or vampires — that’s a good place to start, but it is not necessary.”

This event will take place over the course of two nights. Tickets are $25 for Charleston Library Society members and $35 for nonmembers. Tickets can be purchased at charlestonlibrarysociety.com or by calling (843) 723-9912.

Charleston Cocktail Co. co-owners Randi Nuorala and Ben Reitz are working to fill a void in post-pandemic wants

Couple brings mixology to Airbnbs, with help from area bartenders

Providing tourist tips for folks visiting Charleston has been tricky since March 2020. Do you prefer to eat outside? Are you comfortable visiting a bar? How about going to see live music?

Charleston Cocktail Co. is taking those and other COVID-19-related travel concerns out of the equation by bringing custom cocktail-making classes to Airbnbs throughout the city, tapping area bartenders to help pour at the party.

Randi Nuorala, who owns Charleston Cocktail Co. with her fiance Ben Reitz, had the know-how thanks to her other business Kay & Co., a bachelorette party planning service.

“Charleston is obviously a hotspot for that, and recently, in the last year, we’ve had a lot of girls wanting to do mixology classes,” Nuorala said. “I was trying to find a way to satisfy that. There wasn’t a steady person doing mixology.”

Noticing the void, Nuorala and Reitz launched Charleston Cocktail Co. in June 2021. Since, Nuorala says 100% of their classes have taken place in local Airbnbs,

“

You’re catering to a group of people who all want to have a good time.” —Ethan Bornstein

and while the couple hopes to eventually offer events catered specifically to locals, they’re leaning into the post-COVID trend in which travelers, especially big groups, spend less time out on the town.

“When I’m talking with my clients and groups that are booking, they definitely want more stuff at their house,” Nuorala said. “Even not during COVID, I think that’s really nice for large groups.”

For $75 per person, Charleston Cocktail Co. will bring ingredients, bar tools and all the other essentials. The group first learns how to make two to four drinks; after, a competition takes place. The party is broken up into small teams and guests are asked to use what they’ve learned and items in the house to make their very own craft

cocktail. The “guest of honor” is in charge of judging the competition, Nuorala said.

“The groups really enjoy it. It’s 100% personalized, which we think is really fun,” she said.

The couple knows their way around a jigger, bar spoon and cocktail shaker, but they’re also getting a hand from local bartenders like Ethan Bornstein, who works at Harold’s Cabin and Dalila’s.

“I always make sure to present my best self and show up in a great mood because the group definitely feeds off your energy,” said Bornstein, a seven-year food and beverage industry veteran who’s also worked at 167 Raw, Malagon, Pancito & Lefty and Little Jack’s Tavern, where he served as the bar manager.

It’s well documented how rough the past 19 months have been on the F&B industry — Charleston Cocktail Co. is giving Bornstein and other locals the chance to utilize their expertise in a more casual setting.

“I can completely make it my own essentially. I am my own boss there, and the hours are great,” Bornstein said. “You’re catering to a group of people who all want to have a good time.”

Starting this week, The Longboard will broaden its food menu and extend its hours. The new food menu items will stay true to The Longboard’s mission, “serving fresh and innovative island cuisine with an eye on seasonality and local products,” according to a press release.

The Longboard will continue to open daily at 3 p.m., with a happy hour and oyster menu from 3-5 p.m., dinner service from 3-10 p.m. and expanded bar service until 11 p.m. —MP

Idle Hour has been in Dolly Frock’s family since 1942, when her uncle opened the original next door

By Sam Spence Dolly Frock doesn’t want to close Idle Hour, the humble North Charleston lunch counter she opened in 1979. But despite her best efforts to hang on to the business that’s been in her family for nearly eight decades, it seems the time has come.

The restaurant occupies 1,000 square feet at 1065 East Montague Ave., but stepping inside Idle Hour catapults you into a different era. Though Dolly has been closed for six months, faux flowers, salt and pepper shakers and Texas Pete still stand ready for chili cheeseburgers and hot dogs. Photo collages line the wood-paneled walls alongside press clippings and faded pictures. She’s not sure what she’ll do with all the stuff. (But the Dallas Cowboys cheerleader poster is her brother’s. So is the framed Gamecocks tapestry.)

Where trendy restaurants and bars now spill out onto sidewalks, Dolly remembers the post office, a cleaners, two drug stores.

She probably remembers more than any of her neighbors along the main strip in what’s now the Park Circle neighborhood.

(By the way, Dolly is actually Carol … Dolly was just the name that stuck to her when her oldest niece couldn’t pronounce Carol.)

But her memories of her uncle’s original Idle Hour restaurant, opened next door in 1942, are limited to tapping on the window to rustle up a few hot dogs to take home —

women weren’t allowed inside.

“It was strictly men,” she told the City Paper during a recent interview at Idle Hour. “But over the years, they started to get lenient because they were having parties and stuff.”

Dolly had lost her job at the Pantry Pride grocery store in West Ashley around the time when her brother, who took over Idle Hour, had a stroke and died in 1979. Now raising her 5-year-old nephew and booted from the spot next door by the landlord, Dolly tried to replicate the original Idle Hour where it is today — minus the pool tables in the back.

With $1.25 hot dogs, along with burgers, lunch specials and cold beer on the menu (at first), Dolly remembers a full house for lunch when the Navy shipyard was running full-tilt until it shut down in the mid-90s.

“The place would be packed with people and they’d be standing three-deep trying to get stuff to-go,” she said. “Shipyard days were the best times.”

The shipyard closure prompted a bit of uncertainty, Dolly said.

“I worried about losing the customers and what it was going to do to my clientele,” she said. “But I kept going.”

And customers kept coming. Dolly even hosted and appeared in the TV series Mr. Mercedes, which filmed at the restaurant a CONTINUED ON PAGE 20

few years back.

Looking back over her 42 years on the block, Dolly said only about 20 people have ever put on aprons as employees. Geneva worked with her for 37 years, Millie for 17.

With her crew, Dolly worked a full day to be open 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. for lunch.

“It has been a good business. For being open four hours a day, I can pay the bills and pay my help and everything. That’s all I cared about,” she said.

Fighting tears when she looked around the restaurant and thought about her regulars, Dolly said she remembers her customers most.

“They don’t want me to close,” she said.

It wasn’t even the pandemic that claimed Idle Hour. Not that it was smooth sailing, but Idle Hour weathered COVID. A conflu-

ence of events in the past year have put the restaurant in a tough spot.

Now 77, Dolly said her own health issues, along with some for longtime employees, have made it tough to keep things going.

That, on top of a broken cooler and a finicky underground water leak, and Dolly has found herself with an unexpected retirement — not that anyone would blame her for taking it.

“This is not something I want to do. But I don’t have a choice,” she said. “It just seems like everything’s turned to crap.”

But it will be the good times that longtime locals remember.

“It was a great place to have memories and then look at what had transpired in the last 20-something years to the street,” said North Charleston Mayor Keith Summey, who remembers Idle Hour as a landmark when he was first elected in 1994.

“When the street was dead, she was a fit.

And when it got very lively, she was a fit as well,” he said. “She just adapted to whatever was there — very smart business lady for a small business.”

“The Idle Hour and Dolly’s will always have a presence in the history of that street,” he said.

For now, Dolly’s not sure what she’s going to do in retirement. Her husband, Raymond — also recently retired after 27 years at North Charleston Coliseum — is ready for her to come home as well.

She’s talking with local real estate professionals about selling the East Montague storefront she’s owned for years. But always prudent, Dolly said if she doesn’t get the right price, she’s in no hurry.

“I’m not going to give it away,” she said.

A celebration of Dolly’s retirement will be held Nov. 7, 3-5 p.m., on the patio at Madra Rua in Park Circle.

Free Will Astrology ARIES (March 21-April 19): Even the wisest among us are susceptible to being fascinated by our emotional pain. Even those of us who do a lot of inner work may be captivated and entranced by frustrations and vexations and irritants. Our knotty problems make us interesting, even attractive! They shape our self-image. No wonder we are sometimes “intensely, even passionately, attached to suffering,” in the words of author Fyodor Dostoevsky. That’s the bad news. The good news, Aries, is that in the coming weeks, you will have extra power to divest yourself of sadness and distress and anxiety that you no longer need. I recommend you choose a few outmoded sources of unhappiness and enact a ritual to purge them.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In Norway, you don’t call your romantic partner “boyfriend” or “girlfriend.”

You say kjaereste, which is gender neutral and is translated as “dearest.” In Sweden, you refer to your lover as älskling, meaning “my beloved one.”

How about Finland? One term the Finns use for the person they love is kulta, which means gold. I hope you’ll be inspired by these words to experiment with new nicknames and titles for the allies you care for. It’s a favorable time to reinvent the images you project onto each other. I hope you will refine your assumptions about each other and upgrade your hopes for each other. Be playful and have fun as you enhance your empathy.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The band Creedence Clearwater Revival, led by Gemini musician John Fogerty, achieved tremendous success with their rollicking sound and socially conscious lyrics. They sold 33 million records worldwide. In 1970, they were the best-selling band on the planet, exceeding even the Beatles. And yet, the band endured for just over four years. I foresee the possibility of a comparable phenomenon in your life during the coming months.

Something that may not last forever will ultimately generate potent, long-term benefits. What might it be? Meditate on the possibility. Be alert for its coming. Create the conditions necessary for it to thrive.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Cancerian philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau wrote, “I am unlike anyone I have ever met. I will even venture to say that I am like no one in the whole world. I may be no better, but at least I am different.” I urge you to make that your own affirmation in the coming weeks. It’s high time to boldly claim how utterly unique you are — to be full of reasonable pride about the fact that you have special qualities that no one in history has ever had. Bonus: The cosmos is also granting you permission to brag more than usual about your humility and sensitivity, as well as about your other fine qualities.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Nigerian poet Ijeoma Umebinyuo writes, “I will always want myself. Always.

Darling, I wrote myself a love poem two nights ago. I am a woman who grows flowers between her teeth.

I dance myself out of pain. This wanting of myself gets stronger with age. I host myself to myself. I am whole.” I recommend you adopt Umebinyuo’s attitude as you upgrade your relationship with yourself during the coming weeks. It’s time for you to pledge to give yourself everything you wish a lover would offer you.

You’re ready to claim more of your birthright as an ingenious, diligent self-nurturer.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): As author David Brooks reminds us, “Exposure to genius has the power to expand your consciousness. If you spend a lot of time with genius, your mind will end up bigger and broader than if you spend your time only with run-of-the-mill stuff.” I hope this strategy will be at the top of your priority list during the next four weeks. You will have abundant opportunities to put a lot of “excellent stuff into your brain,” as Brooks suggests. Uncoincidentally, you are also likely to be a rich source of inspiration and illumination yourself. I suspect people will recognize — even more than they usually do — that being around you will make them smarter. I suggest you help them realize that fact.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Self-help author James Clear describes a scenario I urge you to keep

By Rob Brezsny

in mind. He speaks of “a stonecutter hammering away at his rock, perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow, it will split in two.” Clear adds that “it was not that last blow that did it — but all that had gone before.” You’ll thrive by cultivating that same patience and determination in the coming weeks, Libra.

Proceed with dogged certainty that your sustained small efforts will eventually yield potent results.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Nobel Prize-winning poet Odysseus Elytis was speaking like a consummate Scorpio when he said, “What I love is always being born. What I love is beginning always.” Like most Scorpios, he knew an essential secret about how to ensure he could enjoy that intense rhythm: He had to be skilled in the art of metaphorical death. How else could he be born again and again?

Every time he rose up anew into the world like a beginner, it was because he had shed old ideas, past obsessions, and worn-out tricks. I trust you’ve been attending to this transformative work in the past few weeks, Scorpio. Ready to be born again?

Ready to begin anew? To achieve maximum renaissance, get rid of a few more things.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “I haven’t had enough sleep for years,” author Franz Kafka (1883– 1924) once confessed to a friend. It showed in his work, which was brilliant but gaunt and haunted. He wrote stories that would be written by a person who was not only sleep-deprived but dream-deprived.

The anxiety he might have purged from his system through sleep instead spilled out into the writing he did in waking life. Anyway, I’m hoping you will make Kafka your anti-role model as you catch up on the sleep you’ve missed out on. The coming weeks will be a fantastic time to fall in love with the odd, unpredictable, regenerative stories that well up from your subconscious depths while you’re in bed at night.

They will refresh your imagination in all the right ways.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “The reason life works at all is that not everyone in your tribe is nuts on the same day,” writes author Anne Lamott. I will add that on rare occasions, virtually everyone in your tribe is functioning at high levels of competency and confidence. According to my analysis, now is one of those times. That’s why I encourage you to take extraordinary measures to marshal your tribe’s creative, constructive efforts. I believe that together you can collaborate to generate wonders and marvels that aren’t normally achievable. Group synergy is potentially at a peak — and will be fully activated if you help lead the way.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I believe your plan for the rest of 2021 should borrow from the minimanifesto that Aquarian author Virginia Woolf formulated at age 51: “I will go on adventuring, changing, opening my mind and my eyes, refusing to be stamped and stereotyped. The thing is to free one’s self: to let it find its dimensions, not be impeded.”

Does that sound like fun, Aquarius? It should be — although it may require you to overcome temptations to retreat into excess comfort and inertia.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “Anyone who isn’t embarrassed of who they were last year probably isn’t learning enough,” writes author and philosopher Alain de Botton. That’s too extreme a statement for my taste. But I agree with the gist of his comment.

If we are not constantly outgrowing who we are, we are not sufficiently alert and alive. Luckily for you, Pisces, you are now in a phase of rapid ripening. At least you should be. The cosmos is conspiring to help you learn how to become a more vibrant and authentic version of yourself. Please cooperate!

Seasoned singer Aisha Kenyetta looks ahead

She’s been a regular stage presence since 2006 when she joined a local funk band called Secrets.

I supergroup Two Weeks Notice. think that’s the “Live music — the same thing that it does for me it does for the people listening — it allows us part I am looking to escape just for a little while,” Kenyetta said. “It gives us a chance to just live in the moment for forward to the most, however long it’s going to last and enjoy being in being able to tell the that space in that time with those people.”

She also contributed vocals to Bill Wilson’s 2018 story of me — and album, Stand Up, produced at Coast Records. not just me the mom “It works for me because, in singing for so many groups, I’m not relegated to a genre. I get to do a or me the coworker little bit of everything.” or me the band Always a fan of Chaka Khan’s straightforward style, she considers herself a vocalist that gets to member — just me.” the point.

—Aisha Kenyetta “I tend to lean toward songs that are bass driven, rhythmically lyrical. I like to think of my voice as an extension of the rhythm section. I think that is ultimately what makes people pat their feet, get up and dance.”

This year marks her first foray into writing original material she hopes will come to fruition in 2022.

“

Invited to front an unnamed recording project, she’ll have the opportunity to not only write on her own but also within a group. The sound will land somewhere between classic rock and funk, with a bit of country undertones that throw back to gospel.

“This is definitely uncharted territory.

I’ve been testing the waters lately. I want to see what I can do. I’ve got a lot of stories to tell. I think that’s the part I am looking forward to the most, being able to tell the story of me — and not just me the mom or me the coworker or me the band member — just me.”

Compared to her earlier days, one of the changes she’s witnessed in the Charleston music scene is the industry beginning to realize the value women bring, not just with their talents, but with their connections and perspectives.

After feeling unheard and leaving bands in the past, she’s encouraged by the space being made for females who have stepped up. As a mother of two, she fondly recalls the child care Red’s Ice House provided when she performed in the past and is pleased similar accommodations are now more customary.

“It’s still not uncommon to be the only woman in the room, but I feel like you actually get to contribute and what you contribute is heard and weighed in.”

These days, what makes her proud is hearing her kids keep rhythm when they sing in the back seat of the car and the look on their faces when they see her up on stage.

“It makes me want to continue to always push to do more so I can show them that you can do more. The arts aren’t just a hobby. You can have a life in the arts.”

DJ DollaMenu follows up 2021 album with new single “Luv 2 Nite”

DJ DollaMenu just followed up his new album Care Package with the bass heavy single “Luv 2 Nite,” embedding house and dubstep fragments with his signature inventiveness.

As an open-format DJ he aims to be as diverse as possible with his sets, contributing to his eclectic sound.

He’s been influenced by everything from EDM to reggaeton to dancehall, and lately he’s been into pop group HAIM, ’90s R&B like Sounds of Blackness and Angie Stone, house artist James Hype and Latin trap like Bad Bunny and Tokischa. —CG

Baby Yaga is back with more cynical alt rock Sometimes it’s nice to just put on some angry-girl music of the ’90s rock persuasion and not pretend everything’s okay — which is where grungy group Baby Yaga’s new EP, I’ll Ruin Your Life, comes into play.

Whether it’s exposing the negative self-talk loop on “Dog House” with the question, “Have you ever had those days where you cringe over every mistake you’ve ever made?” or with the admittance, “If you let me kiss you, I’ll ruin your life,” on “Black Hole,” both songs are best played loudly.

“Did you say female rage? Hold my beer,” said frontwoman Presley Randall.

Charleston’s greenest salad purveyor, Verde, turns 10 years old this month. Not only does Verde’s mission include healthy eating, but also healthy living with its recycling and plastic-free practices. The team created a fun group playlist last year at the start of COVID called, “5,4,3,2,1.” Owner Jennifer Ferrebee told City Paper the notion was that any of the songs on the list could change your mood instantly by counting down from five. The playlist has everything from Outkast to Journey to Jonas Brothers. Here are her faves right now: “Anything” - Michael Franti “85” - Andy Grammer “Good Day” - DNCE “Magic in the Hamptons” - Social House “On Top of the World” - Imagine Dragons

Musician Don Merckle creates haunting sounds on new LP

30

Don Merckle has been winning fans as a guitarist and frontman in the Charleston music scene for more than a decade.

Looking back, it was the sounds coming out of New York City in the late 1960s that initially placed him on this career path.

“A friend of mine introduced me to the Velvet Underground when I was young, and it really affected me,” Merckle told the City Paper. “I can’t completely explain it.

Something about Lou Reed’s casually abrasive writing style and ‘I don’t give a fuck’ delivery really spoke to me. So I picked up a guitar and learned to play every song. And that’s how I started performing and writing music.”

As Merckle came into his own as a musician, he assumed the role of bandleader for such notable regional garage-rock acts as Loch Ness Johnny, American Gun, Bare Knuckle Champions and the Blacksmiths.

Although well-received, each of these projects eventually ran out of gas, and Merckle began pursuing solo opportunities to fill in the gaps, including making an LP based on his grandfather’s experience as a Korean War veteran. That move set him up nicely for what was to follow.

“I created The Ballad of Lincoln Wray in 2017 with some serious jazz musicians out of Columbia like Mark Rapp, Jonathan Lovett and Sidney Mitchell. This was an important step because it allowed me to explore different sounds and styles, which helped inform what would become my newest solo record, Rumor of a Ghost.”

Rumor of a Ghost is now available on all the major streaming platforms.

“I began this album just before the lock-

Don Merckle cycled through several projects before setting out on his own down, so when the world stopped, I realized I had a near-limitless amount of time to do what I wanted. I used that time to turn every song inside out, break them all down and then rebuild them from the ground up.

It’s probably the most fun I’ve ever had in the studio.”

His approach to connecting with audiences far and wide is special, too. And he has a particularly outstanding batch of material right now with which to wow them.

“I’m working on a grassroots marketing campaign to promote the album,” he said.

“I’ve already released several music videos associated with the record, and I have a few more in production. My goal is to produce a music video, or short film, for every song, all in different styles. I’m a bit of a filmmaking nerd, so this combines two of my passions.

I also think the multimedia approach is important.” —Kevin Wilson
