Opioid crisis moving back to health care forefront as pandemic wanes

News 03.23.2022

By Skyler Baldwin

As new COVID-19 cases continue to drop, health care professionals have turned their attention back to a much older crisis — opioid addiction and abuse.

Opioid misuse and overdose rates were at epidemic levels in the United States and South Carolina even before the pandemic, according to the state Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC). This epidemic has created several secondary public health impacts as well, increasing demand on first responders, law enforcement and health care providers.

But as most health care experts are aware, the pandemic exacerbated a rise in mental health crises and drug overdose rates.

South Carolina went from 1,632 predicted deaths in 2020 to 2,008 in 2021, a 23% increase, according to provisional data from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Nationally, there were over 100,000 fatalities in the 12-month period ending June 2021 — a tragic new record that represented a 20.6% increase over the previous 12 months.

“Everyone knows this — overdose deaths have actually escalated,” said the Medical University of South Carolina’s Dr. Kathleen Brady. “We had over 100,000 deaths in 2021, the largest ever recorded. “What that reflects is that there was a lot of attention on the pandemic, and our medical system was really overburdened. Emergency rooms were overcrowded — and the treatment system can be fragmented anyway. In a pandemic situation, where there are shortages of personnel … a lot of people with

addictions just fell out of the system.”

Brady is the vice president of research in MUSC’s Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences Department. She said their research focus remains on the basic causes of addiction and treatment. And one of the most complicating factors of the opioid epidemic is that treatment looks different for every individual.

“Treatment needs to consider biological factors, effective medications that need to be used, underlying psychiatric comorbidity, cognitive behavioral therapy — things that help people recognize Brady the thought patterns that lead to relapse,” she said.

But, she added, a new resurgence of mindfulness, meditation, relaxation therapy and other mental health aspects have been very effective. Charleston County’s Charleston Center provides several mental health services to those struggling with addiction.

“Mental health is a top priority for patients we see,” said Charleston Center Program Administrator Caitlin Kratz.

“The Charleston Center works closely with the Department of Mental Health, MUSC Institute of Psychiatry, the VA (Veterans Administration) Hospital as well as private medical doctors for those who need assistance. We have a contract with the MUSC Addiction Fellowship program that allows us to have between one and three addiction psychiatrist fellows working with us for a

year at a time as part of their training. This allows us to provide onsite psychiatric services to our patients, at no cost.”

SC treatment lags the rest of the nation — badly

Despite the shift in focus, and this new attention to mental health, South Carolina as a whole still trends lower than other states when it comes to drug abuse services and care.

Many South Carolina-led drug treatment programs don’t offer effective or sufficient mental health services a study released CONTINUED ON PAGE 7

A push for a no-wake zone off Kiawah Island seeks to protect the bottlenose dolphins that sometimes strand-feed for nearly 12 hours a day at Captain Sam’s Spit off the island’s southern tip.

Conservationists who watch the behavior, which is thought to be unique to this part of the country, say the dolphins are being threatened by throngs of onlookers, boaters and kayakers. To help, The Lowcountry Marine Mammal Network is pushing for extra protections where the river empties in the Atlantic Ocean near Captain Sam’s Inlet.

The state Department of Natural Resources has denied requests for a no-wake zone twice in the area.

Officials said it considered boater safety and that the no-wake zone would affect navigation in already congested areas, according to a Post and Courier report. —Skyler Baldwin

Five talks to keep an ear out for at TEDxCharleston TEDxCharleston is back, with its first event coming this Wednesday after a pandemic-prompted hiatus in 2020. This year’s TEDx’s theme is “CASCADES,” which “embodies the spirit that triggers great force and movement within the Charleston community and beyond.”

The event features 19 different speakers, so those looking for a few highlights may have a hard time picking just a few speakers to tune into. To help, we’ve hand-picked five TEDxCharleston presenters that we will be paying special attention to.

Kristy Danford

Director of the Charleston County Criminal Justice Coordinating Council Kristy Danford, the founding director of the Charleston County Criminal Justice Coordinating Council (CJCC), joined county leadership in 2015 to help lead efforts to safely reduce local jail overcrowding, battle inequities and engage the community in criminal justice system improvements. Danford also has more than two decades of experience in the criminal justice field and nonprofits.

Last year, she joined the Charleston Forum, a community project striving to provide dialogues on race.

Raven Saunders

Olympic athlete Olympic shot-putter Raven Saunders took the world by storm ahead of her silver medal victory at the Tokyo Games — her second Olympic event. Saunders will be sharing the challenges she’s faced on and off the field through her journey from Burke High School to the Olympics. Saunders’ openness about the LGBTQ+ community, mental health and racial justice has been an inspiration to many who watched her compete. Saunders also made national headlines on the medal stand, raising her hands over her head in a defiant “X,” a protest that Yahoo Sports called the “most high-profile protest yet” during the games.

Heron Farms’ founder and TEDxCharleston presenter Sam Norton was named to the 2022 Forbes 30 Under 30 list odox journey, this first-year Beatty Scholar was invited to TEDx in 2020. But the event was canceled due to the pandemic two weeks before it was scheduled. Bell’s presentation on immigration seeks to start a new conversation and help lead listeners to become a part of the solution, rather than bystanders.

Sam Norton

Entrepreneur Sam Norton’s Johns Island-based company Heron Farms was born out of salty, vividly green sea beans. Norton’s produce has appeared on the menu at Charleston’s Chubby Fish on tuna crudo; Minero in ceviche; Husk delicately perched atop raw cuts of flounder, tuna and beeliner; and Delaney Oyster House, garnishing the seafood chowder. The plants are salt-tolerant, making them perfect for cultivating in Charleston. Norton’s sea-farming venture has made him the most grant-funded College of Charleston student ever and is an important step toward a new sustainable food supply.

Chris Singleton

Children’s book author Chris Singleton, a former baseball player and best-selling children’s book author, had his life flipped upside down when his mother was killed in the Mother Emanuel AME tragedy in 2015.

“Ever since my mother was killed at my church back in 2015 it has become my mission to teach our young people to love one another despite their many differences,” he wrote on Twitter. “My mother’s life was taken away because of racism, but I promise to keep using my voice to put an end to it!” Only 18 at the time, Singleton has since spent years teaching kids about the power of love through his own story of loss. —Skyler Baldwin

More than 330 cases of animal cruelty in SC since Jan. 1

6

More than 330 cases of animal cruelty have been reported in South Carolina since the start of the year, and Charleston Animal Society (CAS) is calling on community members to speak up for animals.

“Animals are the most vulnerable of God’s creations,” CAS president Joe Elmore said at a March 16 press conference. “They cannot speak for themselves. They cannot testify against their abusers. We are calling on the community to speak for them.”

The high reports of animal cruelty cases follows a record year of violence against animals in 2022. Elmore said the rates coincide

with rising violent crimes against people as well. Elmore said in his fifteen years at the CAS, he’s never seen numbers as high as what has been seen so far this year.

“Links have been established and affirmed and reaffirmed between animal cruelty and human violence,” he said. “Humans are at risk too. It’s no secret that violent crimes are skyrocketing in our state, and this is happening with crimes against animals also. Intentional animal abusers … are also abusing children, women, the elderly — anyone who cannot defend themselves.”

One of the most recent cases, reported

earlier this week, is that of a dog found in a ditch in Adam’s Run in Charleston County with a broken leg and an apparent gunshot wound to the head. CAS is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the felony conviction of the person responsible for the death of the dog. The case is currently under investigation by the Charleston County Sheriff’s Office.

If you have information about the Adam’s Run case, you can call (843) 7437200. If you suspect animal cruelty, CAS says to call your local animal control or 911. —Skyler Baldwin

A West Ashley man who told police he was a federal law enforcement officer reportedly fired a round from his firearm into his iPhone during “practice.” We recommend more practice.

How high is high?

A West Ashley man called police on himself after getting too high. When officers arrived, the man told them he wasn’t “feeling feel” and needed to go to the hospital. That is exactly something that someone who had gotten too high would say.

So was it drugs or finger sandwiches?

Police spotted a stack of small plastic baggies in the back of a car during a routine traffic stop. Bags like these are often used for transporting drugs, according to the report, but maybe they just like really small sandwiches.

The Boston Red Bloods Witnesses reported to police they overheard a heated argument over gang turf downtown in which one man in a red cap claimed to be a part of the Bloods. When police asked about the hat, he said the Boston Red Sox were his favorite baseball team.

Only four out of 22 programs, or roughly 18%, analyzed in Pew’s report offer mental health services as part of the program.

Nationally, an average of 46.1% of programs offer mental health services.

“People try to disentangle it — say it’s only about addiction — but you have to have mental health treatment,” said Charleston resident Gil Kerlikowske, a former national drug czar for former President Barack Obama. “You need that. After the person is no longer addicted, and you want them to stay in recovery, you have to give them some mental health support.”

Brady said there are a number of things that would need to change in the statehouse before this epidemic could be properly addressed. “As a state, we

Per capita, we spend much less than almost any other state. $2.81 per capita compared to an average of $8.75 in other states.”

Brady also pointed to the stigma around drug addiction and abuse as a barrier to treatment for many.

“We just need to do everything we can to reduce the stigma around addictions — it not only affects the people with addictions, sometimes even providers don’t feel as respected in their work,” she said.

“We need to have an all around effort for people to recognize that addictions are diseases like all others we deal with. They can happen to anyone, and all of us know people, whether it’s family or friends that have suffered from this.”

EDITORIAL

End the bloodshed even people have died this year so far from gun violence in North Charleston. That’s unacceptable, but it’s heartening that Police Chief Reggie Burgess and community leaders are trying to pierce the continuing threats from guns that are killing people.

Unfortunately, the work of just a few people won’t make much of a difference. It will take the whole village, as pastor Thomas Dixon recognized Friday at a community meeting: “This is not just a police problem or a parenting problem. It’s much much bigger than that. … Every layer can and must do their part to reduce the bloodshed.”

South Carolina is a dangerous place, ranking the seventh deadliest state for gun homicide, according to the CDC. The FBI says the Palmetto State also has the nation’s second-highest rate of aggravated assaults with a firearm. In fact, someone in South Carolina dies every 14 hours because of a gun. It’s even bad for law enforcement officers here: South Carolina has the fourth-worst rate in the nation of police killed by guns.

North Charleston is an epicenter for murder. In the first half of 2016, North Charleston had the 8th highest homicide rate in the country for cities with 100,000 people or more. In 2019, some 26 people in North Charleston died, most from gun violence. With the 14th highest murder rate in the country, a higher percentage

of North Charleston residents were killed in 2019 than in Philadelphia (16th highest), Cincinnati (19th), Atlanta (22nd), Chicago (28th), Oakland (31st), Dallas (42nd) and Charlotte (59th).

As mentioned, North Charleston has had seven homicides so far this year. Chief Burgess says his agency is focusing on getting the guns off the street.

“While we are fighting each other and beating each other up, they’re killing each other out here,” he said Friday at the S.A.V.E. (Stand Against Violence Everywhere) town hall meeting in North Charleston.

“I am not saying you give up what you’re doing, because I am not going to give up what I am doing. I am going to protect those who can’t protect themselves.”

Dixon said organizers and police will join forces to bring people together “to directly address the ‘dots,’ no matter who those ‘dots’ are, in order to make sure they understand their responsibility to do their part to end gun violence.”

Good. More public officials and the public need to join the effort. More than 50 elected officials from North Charleston, Charleston County and the local school board, as well as area state legislators, were invited to Friday’s town hall meeting. Only two showed up.

That’s pitiful. We all need to work together and do more so we can end the bloodshed. As soon as possible.

OPINION

State lawmakers must stop attacks on LGBTQ+ youths By Domenico Ruggerio

—From Jonathan Swift in A Modest Proposal, 1729 South Carolina lawmakers seem to want to satisfy an imagined moral famine by marginalizing the state’s LGBTQ+ youths. It’s as if they take Jonathan Swift seriously and want some of our children served medium rare with a side of steak sauce. They need to stop continuing attacks on some of our children. It’s just plain wrong.

During SC’s 2021 legislative session, we witnessed a record number of anti-LGBTQ+ bills introduced. Advocates pushed hard to ensure none advanced, including six versions of an anti-transgender student athletics bill. Moreover, in 2022, there are numerous proposed bills which would sanction anti-LGBTQ+ “conversion therapy,” restrict transgender students from participating in school sports, prohibit trans-affirming medical care, allow anti-LGBTQ+ medical discrimination and challenge the teaching of “critical race theory” in South Carolina schools — all of which are troubling attacks for BIPOC (Black Indigenous People of Color), LGBTQ+ youth and for all seeking to advance intersectional social justice.

These systematic attacks on LGBTQ+ youth, who These systematic want nothing more than dignity and respect to live attacks on LGBTQ+ their authentic selves, take a toll on their mental health.

LGBTQ+ youth in South Carolina experience many mental youth, who want health disparities, including high rates of depression, substance use, suicide and housing instability. In the region’s nothing more largest LGBTQ+ health survey to date, the Campaign for than dignity and Southern Equality reported more than half of LGBTQ+ people in South Carolina reported experiencing depression respect to live their (71%) and anxiety (63%) — and rates were even higher for authentic selves, trans individuals and those who are BIPOC. Additionally, according to The Trevor Project’s poll take a toll on their in January, 66% of all LGBTQ+ young people said mental health. their mental health had been negatively affected by recent debates about state laws restricting the rights of transgender people. The impact is even greater among trans and non-binary youth: 85% of those polled said their mental health had been negatively affected. When asked about what the most important issue is affecting the world, most LGBTQ+ youth stated racism, followed by LGBTQ+ rights/equality.

Domenico Recognizing these urgent needs, as the state’s oldest LGBTQ+ Ruggerio is youth-serving nonprofit, We Are Family launched a mental health the executive assistance program last year to offer free and affirming mental director of We health services to LGBTQ+ youth in the South Carolina Lowcountry.

Are Family, Since the program’s inception, we have provided over 210 hours of a grassroots affirming therapy to 45 youths. Eleven therapists have been recruited nonprofit that and trained for our provider network. In addition, we have trained cultivates more than 30 mental health providers in LGBTQ+ youth cultural affirming competency, and we currently have 17 youths on our therapy waitlist. spaces for As a co-leader of the SC United for Justice and Equality coalition, LGBTQ+ We Are Family works collaboratively with 30+ organizations across and all youth the state to equip queer and trans youth with the leadership and across SC. organizing skills so they can advocate for themselves and others at the local and state levels.

It takes a village. We Are Family will continue to be a lifeline for our LGBTQ+ youth. We need to focus on building a South Carolina where everyone — including LGBTQ+ youth — can thrive.

And to those who continuously push these bills: Satisfy that hunger with a Snickers instead.

Scott Snider is Folly Beach’s global nature cinematographer at the office. Once a young outdoorsman searching for his path in life and bouncing between the Florida Keys and his native Lowcountry, Snider has spent the last couple of decades utterly obsessed with animal behavior and getting the shot. He’s endured countless bites and stings, filmed venomous snakes on most continents, narrowly avoided unpleasant run-in’s with African lions and Bengal tigers, just escaped the hooves of stampeding wildebeests and, oh yeah, stared down Chernobyl-irradiated wolves. But Snider insists he’s not looking for personal life or death moments. Part of his job is about being close enough to witness sometimes dramatic scenes, but — hopefully — knowing the animals’ behavior well enough to stay safe.

cott Snider knew something was quite wrong the instant he saw a camera drifting towards the seafloor like a severed limb from Jaws. When the wayward camera plunged past, the Folly Beach cinematographer had been hovering a few feet off the Bahamian seafloor hefting a heavy underwater camera amidst a swarm of reef, lemon and tiger sharks, some weighing 800 to 1000 pounds. Peering over his shoulder, Snider was horrified to see colleague, photographer and divemaster Jim Abernathy enveloped in a cloud of blood, punching the hell out of a 300 pound shark that had latched onto his arm. The shark was shaking him violently. “It was bad,” Snider said. “He was getting seriously injured.”

Worse, with a couple dozen other sharks darting around, Snider and two other divers were trapped 30 feet down. When the shark let go of Abernathy, he darted for the platform and a couple nearby divers managed to help him get out of the water. Snider and the remaining two divers circled to see in all directions and tried to stay calm.

“I couldn’t even see the stern of our 65-foot boat,” Snider said.

“There was that much blood in the water. The main thing with tiger sharks is to get down to the bottom. You don’t want to hang out at the surface. That’s where you’re going to get hit. One of the big tigers was about to cruise through the blood, so I thought: Wait. Just sit here and wait. See how he reacts. And he didn’t. He just kept doing his thing and circling around. So we waited until the stern of the boat was clear, and then we shot out of there.”

After a couple of harrowing hours of first aid, a Coast Guard helicopter lowered a rescue basket. Abernathy would live to dive another day. For Snider, that frightful 2011 encounter was just another day

Snider is low key. He doesn’t have an Instagram account, and isn’t much on Facebook. Surfing out near his home on Folly with his family, he’s just a laid back, smiling member of the local crew. Yet his combination of patience, intuition, experience and drive has managed to earn him a formidable reputation as one of the world’s top-tier wildlife documentarians. Today, Snider captures the secret lives of creatures for National Geographic, The Discovery Channel, the BBC, Disney Plus, PBS, Animal Planet, Smithsonian and most recently, Netflix, which airs Snider’s stunning footage of Lowcountry dolphins with season 2 of its series Animal, which dropped March 18. With gorgeous footage and savvy narration from Rashida Jones, Rebel Wilson and Bryan Cranston, Animal’s first season has been a huge hit for Netflix, racking up 72 million views.

On a warm afternoon, Snider fires up his skiff and grabs a big tripod and a 4K camera to see if he might capture the unique behavior of a few Atlantic bottlenose dolphins. Motoring down Folly River towards Kiawah Island, he unfolds a bit more of his 50

years on earth. Snider’s dad, Dennis, was a lifer with Zeiss optics, a job that took the family all over the U.S. during Scott’s early years.

Eventually, they landed in Summerville. Both parents were passionate outdoorspeople who became smitten with the Lowcountry and decided to stay.

“Every weekend, we went on big trips, hunting and fishing,” Scott said. “But we took unusual trips, too. Jump in a canoe to explore deep into the Everglades. In Michigan, we hopped up to Canada, jumped on a train and loaded our stuff in and just traveled for hours and hours. You come across some far-flung spot, like a cool string of lakes, then you wave down the conductor and just jump off with your gear and canoes. Conductor says, ‘I’ll be coming back down this track in 10 days, roughly midday, so be here.’ Then there was island hopping from Florida to the Bahamas in a little singleengine boat. Back then, there weren’t hundreds of people doing that. Things were always breaking down. You do a field fix — put a Band-Aid on something. That was always part of the adventure.”

At 15, Snider began following his dad on dives off Charleston and his underwater experience increased exponentially.

Offshore, Lowcountry waters can be surprisingly clear, but it’s a long run to the good spots. Minimum dive depths too, are generally greater than 80 feet and 20 miles or more offshore, meaning there are no safe shallows. Still, where Dennis went, Scott followed.

Snider graduated from Summerville High in 1989, and University of South Carolina in 1994. A typical post-grad trying to figure out next steps, he relocated to the Florida Keys with a handful of friends. There he worked on a charter boat, dove and partied. After a year of living in a real life Jimmy Buffett song, an epiphany came one Friday night. “My friends are all out having a blast,” he said. “And I’m sitting watching a National Geographic special — it’s about this interaction between a diver and a giant Pacific octopus. How the guy was posturing. How they were communicating non-verbally. He was understanding this animal and reacting in order to get close. It was amazing. I knew this was something I understood, something I was good at. After that, I had, basically, a target.”

A different kind of film school

Snider had met his longtime girlfriend, a fellow diver named Jordana Abrams, in the Keys. Eventually though, she moved to New York to work as a graphic designer. With only a few dollars to his name, Snider decided to follow her and find a way to break into filmmaking. He would network and knock on the door of every wildlife film person he could find between Manhattan and Washington, D.C., home of both National Geographic and the Discovery Channel. He would volunteer on film sets at New York University and seek production work on any set he could find.

“After every meeting, I would go home, and literally record word for word, everything they had to say,” he said. “I would follow up on every single suggestion they made and I’d chase down every lead. I never had drive like that in my life.”

The first toe in the door came at National Geographic.

Snider landed a temp job in the film acquisition department, screening films to see if they would be a good fit for National Geographic Explorer.

This led to a meeting with Nat Geo inventor, biologist and filmmaker Greg Marshall, a “mad scientist” who revolutionized wildlife filmmaking with his Crittercam inventions — custom made for a variety of marine animals.

“We just hit it off,” Snider said. “It was sharks, whales, seals and sea turtles. I was amazed by this incredible group of people.”

One day, Snider might be soldering a motherboard or a pressure switch on a camera that would ride down a few hundred feet on

Above: In 2014, Snider traveled to the Chernobyl restricted zone for National Geographic. “There were wild boar sheltering in houses to escape the winter cold and wolves hunting house to house looking for them.

Houses, theaters and schools — all just as they were in the Soviet Union. The animals have some problems with radiation, but mostly, the numbers are increasing. Even in a place like Chernobyl, I was really struck by one thing: how resilient nature can be if we just give it a chance.”

the back of a shark or turtle. Another day might find his team devising a sled system that would detach from the shell of a sea turtle at a pre-determined time, allowing a satellite-tracked Crittercam to be retrieved at sea. On the remote Northwest Hawaiian Islands, Snider partnered with National Marine Fisheries scientists to study a crash in the population of highly endangered monk seals. A seal-mounted Crittercam revealed that the pinnipeds relied on octopus and tilefish found on very isolated deepwater reefs that were at risk of being mowed by trawlers for their black coral.

“So they didn’t allow the black coral fishery to open,” he said. “That was due to Crittercam, because you were literally looking at the head of a seal and watching it hunt.”

A couple of years on, Snider and his now wife Jordana were living in Washington, D.C., where she worked on a series for Discovery Channel. When an opportunity arose to move to Belize and work for legendary National Geographic filmmakers Richard and Carol Foster, the Sniders leapt.

The next year was transformative. “They sent us all over the country with all of these major wildlife spectacles going on,” said Snider. “Rappelling into trees to film baby scarlet macaws. Canoeing down these virgin rivers to track down tapir or peccary or film whale sharks on a reef. We’d come back exhausted and torn to pieces, then eat really good food, catch up with the other team and screen footage. Carol was my structural coach: Did I tell the story? Establish the locations? Am I moving enough or is this a boring static shot? Did I get the detailed action? The cutaways? Richard would advise me creatively: Did I notice nuanced behaviors? How did I use the camera? We’d talk about lens choice, lighting and all that. On top of that, I’d never been immersed in the jungle before. We lived with jaguars. We had ocelots, margay, kinkajou and bats. Belize was my film school.”

After 7 films and more than a year in Belize, Snider’s chance to direct his first film came in the form of a documentary on tarantulas. Despite nightmarish childhood memories of taking the webs of hand-sized Everglades garden spiders to the face, Snider filled their Bethesda rental home’s basement with over 100 tarantulas.

Jordana, who is absolutely amazing, was totally ok with it,” he laughed. “How many people out there would allow 100 tarantulas in their basement? I mean we still did laundry down there. A couple escaped too.

And I couldn’t sleep knowing that. So you CONTINUED ON PAGE 12

Behind Folly Beach County Park, Scott Snider slows his engine and points to a pod of dolphins cruising the shallows.

This is one of the groups he’s filmed over the past few years that exhibit a truly remarkable — and local — behavior.

When the water warms, and mullet fill Lowcountry creeks, these dolphins have learned a globally unique hunting method called “strand feeding.” Dolphins work hard to corral a school of mullet into a tight group on a preferred stretch of shoreline. Then, one dolphin will peer out of the water at the beach, “spy hopping” to make sure the coast is clear of people, dogs or sharp shells. Then, at a trigger moment known only to the dolphins, the whole pod emits piercing underwater vocalizations in unison and rushes the shore. Caught in the cetacean bow wake, panicked mullet are forced onto the shoreline. The dolphins follow them completely out of the water and onto the sand. Heeled over on their right sides, they snatch as many struggling fish as they can, then flop back into the water. It’s an amazing sight.

“The dolphins work really hard,” Snider said. “And what’s so fascinating is this is not hardwired behavior. This is cultural. That’s really important. This is a

literally break apart the entire basement foot by foot until you find it.”

Biodiversity reigns

When thoughts of a family loomed in 2003, Folly Beach was the obvious landing pad.

Not only to be close to family but there were plenty of opportunities for local filming.

“We live in the most biodiverse corner of the United States,” Snider said. “We’ve got all kinds of crazy stuff going on. So many insects, mammals and definitely reptiles. I mean, we have 52 species of snakes alone in the southeast.”

Whether you’re waiting beneath an African tree festooned with sleeping lions, tracking wolves around Chernobyl, or

learned behavior taught from the mother to the offspring.”

Strand feeding pods can be found from South Carolina down into the coastal marshes of Georgia, and that’s pretty much it. And only our resident dolphins — who live almost exclusively in the creeks — do this. They even appear to be evolving differently, with bigger fins and smaller, more maneuverable bodies.

Teeth wear unevenly — getting ground down more on the right hand, sandy side.

“We really need to give them room to hunt when strand feeding,” Snider said.

“In my experience, the local guides do a good job of giving dolphins their space and the Lowcountry Marine Mammal Network has had a huge positive impact out at Kiawah and Seabrook. But tourists will walk or kayak up, or boats are parked ashore. Some of the best strand feeding spots are also party beaches. I’ve watched and filmed many times where dolphin who are just about to strand back off at the spy hop stage because people are too close. My question is, is there a tipping point? With more people every year coming to the Lowcountry, is there a point where they won’t do this anymore?”

See Snider’s work on Dolphins, Season 2, Episode 4 of the Netflix series Animal. getting up close and personal with small local critters, animals may not do anything interesting for a long time. Thus, patience is key. The rewards can be spectacular — and frightening. One summer a few years back, the biologist at Kiawah Island told Snider where he might find some big gators along a string of forested ponds. He stumbled upon a “freshly” killed floating deer carcass.

“And I camped out there,” Snider said.

“I knew enough to sit there because a gator would be back. I waited for three days straight getting drained by mosquitoes. Finally on the third day, it was getting late, and this massive male showed up. Gators can’t chew. So I knew he was gonna have to break this thing apart.”

The gator exploded from the water violently shaking the putrefying buck in its jaws. Snider’s camera was rolling. He nailed the shot. Then he went home and took a shower.

Artifacts Junk Food at Redux

Studio Union provides tools and space for some of Charleston’s best visual artists.

Studio Union provides much-needed space and community for local artists

Arts 03.23.2022

By Chloe Hogan

Studio Union is a professional art space in North Charleston with a mission to offer long-term, affordable rent for creatives in a dynamic and inspiring communal environment.

Founded by long-time friends and collaborators Susan Gregory and Tracey Pickard, the eclectic, women-run space opened in late 2019. The studio currently represents 17 artists, including potters, sculptors, filmmakers, photographers, painters and more. A selection of Studio Union artists recently participated in a diverse and impactful group show at Redux: “Studio Union: An Art Junction,” which ran from Feb. 4 -March 19.

Artist Susan Gregory was a founding member of cone 10 studios, which hosted artists from 2005-2019, first on Meeting Street and then Morrison Drive.

Development ultimately closed cone 10.

After losing this hub, Gregory decided to take matters into her own hands and, in 2019, she opened Studio Union.

Resident John Jamison calls the space “naturally collaborative” and said he’s grateful for the artistic communities at downtown’s Redux and now Studio Union.

“I’ve been lucky enough to be part of several different Charleston artist communities,” he said. “When I was younger, places like Tivoli or Outer Space, both of which don’t exist anymore, were also spaces where experimentation was allowed, if not encouraged.”

Studio spaces cost $300 a month, or $175 to share with another artist. During a tour of the bright and airy space, Gregory recalls

how she was once unsure if she would be able to fill up all the studios. Now, just a few years later, all the studio spaces are filled, with a waitlist to get in.

“We’re just trying to make a space where we can all work and stay without being run off again,” she said.

“

I’d like to see more interdisciplinary work celebrated, more opportunities to have experiences that provoke dialogue.”

—Cristina Victor

Artists and guests enter the studio at the “dirty” side where ceramicists share materials and ideas. It’s adjacent to a “cleaner” mixed media side which holds studio space for painters, textile and other mixed media artists.

Studio Union’s Hackemann Avenue warehouse space once served as an auto repair and upholstery service. It was filled with boats and junk when Gregory and Pickard first found it. Pickard, an experienced contractor, could envision the space as an art studio, and so she asked Gregory to collaborate with her. Gregory describes the process of renovation as “getting to know’’ the space, explaining how they painted the light pink floors by hand and divided up studio spaces.

She sees Studio Union as a continuation of

the building’s history. Studio Union artists are “the next group to work with our hands here,” she said.

Colin Peterson of Trim Pottery has been involved since Studio Union’s inception.

He marvels at how he watched a vacant building turn into an “incredible collective.”

“The collective clay knowledge at this studio is unmatched, and I am beyond grateful to be a part of it,” he said.

The community cultivated at Studio Union is a rare and valuable asset to the artists working there. When ceramist Nadia Steiglitz moved to Charleston from Brooklyn, she felt Charleston’s “lack of investment in the arts,” made it difficult for local artists to work and collaborate.

“I know many artists who are seeking studio spaces,” she said. “Artists find themselves working from home, whether they have the space for it or not … It’s a waste of talent and creativity. My wish for the future would be for the city to renovate underused or empty places in Charleston and North Charleston to transform them into studios where artists and artisans can work together and thrive.”

Cristina Victor, who works in textiles, ceramics and public projects, agrees. “I’d like to see more interdisciplinary work celebrated, more opportunities to have experiences that provoke dialogue,” she said. “Work that gets weird and celebrates absurdity.”

Peterson shares the sentiment.

“Personally, I could do without another plein air marsh scene,” he said. “The more we support our artists in Charleston, the more artists will want to come here.”

nomination for editing. It’s the bedrock of the art form, and it’s difficult to justify not honoring these categories alongside acting, directing and cinematography.

Something new for fans

While the Academy is slashing categories to keep the traditionally long ceremony from running over its three hour runtime, it is also making a play at drawing in “casual” movie viewers with two new award categories. #OscarsFanFavorites and #OscarsCheerMoment are awards that have been voted on online, and will be announced during the show on Sunday night.

The Academy has clearly made these categories in order to draw in viewers who feel alienated by the ceremony.

Popular blockbusters, like those from the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Fast and Furious franchise, are typically absent from Oscar contention.

It’s unclear if these new categories will draw back audiences to the show, which saw its lowest ratings ever in 2021 with fewer than 10.5 million viewers. An appeal to more popular franchise fare could be seen as a way of assuaging the opinion of the awards as elitist and niche.

Olivia Coleman is in the running for Best Actress in The Lost Daughter

History in the making

While the Academy juggles categories in hopes of raising ratings, the Oscars again will honor some of the best performances, artistry, and storytellers in cinema. And will, as always, add to the historic allure of its 94 years.

Supporting Actress frontrunner Ariana DeBose has claimed many statues this awards season for her amazing performance as Anita in Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story. If she wins, she will help accomplish an exciting historical feat: DeBose will join West Side Story costar Rita Moreno as the only two actors in history to win Oscars for playing the same role. Moreno played the role of Anita in the 1961 original.

The feat was almost accomplished in 2011, when Jeff Bridges was nominated for playing Rooster Cogburn in True Grit, a role originated

by John Wayne in the 1969 version of the film.

While Wayne won his award, Bridges did not. Before that, Laurence Olivier and Kenneth Branagh had both been nominated for playing Henry V in adaptations of the eponymous Shakespeare play, but neither man won the Oscar.

Jessie Buckley, who is nominated against DeBose for her role as Leda in The Lost Daughter, could make her own history on Sunday if she and co-star Olivia Coleman can both win. Coleman is nominated for Best Actress for her role as the older version of Leda in The Lost Daughter.

If Coleman and Buckley win, it will be the second time two actors have won Oscars for playing different ages of the same character, and the first time for two portrayals in a single movie.

The feat was first accomplished by Marlon Brando (1973) and Robert DeNiro (1975) when they won Oscars as the elder and younger versions of Vito Corleone in The Godfather and The Godfather, Part 2.

But that was across two movies.

Kate Winslet and Gloria Stuart were both nominated for playing young and old Rose in Titanic in 1998, but neither won the award. Winslet and Judi Dench were also both nominated for portrayals of Iris Murdoch in Iris in 2001, but neither won.

The 94th Annual Academy Awards are at 8 p.m., March 27, on ABC.

Jamison added that a lot of “really amazing” artistic talent leaves Charleston for larger cities, taking opportunities with them. He sees Studio Union as a step toward retaining these artists: “Providing more opportunities for emerging artists and designers is key, and Studio Union and Redux are taking great steps in this direction,” he said.

Gregory is passionate in her cause to bring together community members, professional artists, and hobbyists alike.

This is made evident by the studio’s programming of classes that include “Beginning Wheel Throwing” and “Art 101” for kids. Throughout the calendar, Studio Union members and guests will hold instructional classes in ceramics and other disciplines. Future plans include monthly “Play in Clay” sessions, where ceramic instructors will host and instruct neighbors, summer camps for kids, and expanding the property to create an exhibition space for resident and guest artists.

“We are excited to build a new history here together,” she said.

Dalila’s co-owner Michael Whitely suggests at-home bartenders take it one step at a time when concocting their own version of a classic cocktail

Celebrate National Cocktail Day with new takes on classics

Cuisine 03.23.2022

By Elise DeVoe

Though it’s recently become trendy, cocktails like the old fashioned, martini and daiquiri have been classics for a long time. These cocktails come with specific flavor expectations. An old fashioned, for example, is expected to have smoky flavor notes with a sweet finish from the sugar at the bottom, and sours are, well, you get it from the name.

A few bars in Charleston use the flavor profiles of these tried and true cocktails as inspiration for creating their menus, but use local ingredients or flavored spirits to put their own twists on the classics. What follows are a few of our favorites. And note, the capitalizing of drink names is fraught with peril. If a drink is unique to the establishment, we’re capitalizing. But we’ll leave classics like ‘daiquiri’ lowercase.

Dalila’s

When you sit down at the bar and are handed the cocktail menu, many of Dalila’s cocktails reference the classics so guests know what to expect in the flavor profile.

The “Ol’ Doops” cocktail is described as “A Manhattan being fed tropical fruits on the

Owner James Bolt shakes up the Gin Joint’s cocktail menu seasonally, bringing new flavors year-round beach.” The “San Fernando Sour” is based on a classic called the Trinidad sour, which traditionally contains a whole ounce of angostura bitters (an ingredient normally, and sparingly measured in dashes), rye whiskey, egg white, lime juice and almond syrup. For its San Fernando Sour, Dalila’s substitutes whiskey for Jamaican rum and uses pineapple gomme syrup in place of the egg white and almond syrup.

“This drink surprises people when they know how much bitters are in it,” said coowner Michael Whiteley. “I usually have to talk people into ordering it.”

Those caught up in the espresso martini craze will be pleased to know that Dalila’s serves an espresso old fashioned, dubbed “Lola’s Nightcap,” which features cold brew espresso, Kahlua, Italian amaro, toasted coconut and pecaninfused Jamaican rum.

For those attempting to make their own riff on a classic cocktail at home, Whiteley has some advice: “Start slow with it, don’t try to rearrange the whole drink. Swap out one part at a time. If you were doing an old fashioned, swap out the syrup for a sweet liqueur or different syrup. Swap the whiskey out for rum or do a split base of both.”

Like enjoying a nice cocktail, take it nice and slow.

The Gin Joint

The cocktails on the top shelf menu at The Gin Joint closely resemble classics, while the rest of the menu is a bit more playful.

Rising fossil fuel prices affect beloved food trucks

By Michael Pham Charleston is rich with restaurants, from traditional sit-down table service at places like southern classic Husk to fast casual dining like Babas European-style cafes. But Charleston’s culinary charm isn’t linked to just its sit-down restaurants — the city is peppered with food trucks and trailers serving big bites in small spaces.

Just like Lowcountry consumers and restaurateurs, food trucks are having to deal with overall wholesale prices 8.6% higher than a year ago. But food trucks are also dealing with rising gasoline, diesel and propane prices. As of March 20, AAA recorded the Charleston County regular gas average at $3.98. Compared to just a month ago, the county average was $3.35, an 18% increase in just a few weeks. And though prices have stabilized in the past week, it’s still over $1 higher than last year’s average of $2.70.

City Paper checked in with some of the mobile food vendors rolling the Lowcountry streets about the effects of the substantial increases.

“Oh, it’s affecting me,” said Anthony Leonard of Bits-N-Bytes. On March 10, Leonard worked a double, where he said he feels the most impact from the price increases. During his route that day, he left his kitchend on Rivers Avenue, drove to Bushy Park in Goose Creek, back to the kitchen to “clean up and stock up,” then drove to the dinner location near Ashley

Ridge High School on Dorchester Road and finally back to his kitchen at the end of the day.

“I can fill the tank up and just between those two routes, with dragging a 7,000 pound food trailer, my tank can go from full to almost half — and that’s doing the speed limit,” he said.

To offset some of the increased costs, some food trucks have chosen to simply not drive so far to vending destinations over increasing menu prices.

“We do like to take jobs that are all over the place, but at this point, we’re being a little bit more selective,” said Lynn Hobart of Korean Asian fusion Seol-Ah’s. Hobart added that she had also reduced some usual trips to a John’s Island neighborhood. “And I hate putting minimums on stuff like that, but unfortunately, that’s just the nature of the beast,” she said.

Though the Latin American and Asian Fusion Dashi has a brick-and-mortar at 1262 Remount Rd., the food truck still roams the streets. “We’re based in North Charleston, so we’re thinking a lot more critically about stuff out on John’s Island, northern Mount Pleasant or the farthest reaches of Summerville,” owner Oscar Hines said.

“We’re facing the same challenges as restaurants with the rise in food costs,” said Anthony Gaudio of Italian truck Drunk CONTINUED ON PAGE 21

Cocktails CONTINUED FROM PAGE 18

The “Mob Boss” is The Gin Joint’s take on the Italian classic negroni. It uses Monkey 47 gin, a top shelf gin, with more licorice notes than you would typically find in a bar’s well gin.

The Gin Joint changes its menu seasonally, and for its spring menu, it features the “Monticello Experiment,” a clarified milk punch, made with gin, carrot and yogurt.

The carrot and yogurt might suggest a creamsicle-colored cocktail, but because it’s clarified, the drink is crystal clear.

“When the acid from the lime juice hits the proteins in the milk, it coagulates and forms protein strands that then strain out all the impurities from the carrot juice or any bits and pieces leftover from the lime,” said Gin Joint owner James Bolt.

Another fun addition to the spring menu is the introduction of “The Pit Stop” section, a rotating batched cocktail option for those looking for a quick, but still highly crafted beverage. When City Paper visited The Gin Joint, the Pit Stop cocktail was a play on a boulevardier, dubbed “Bananavadier” because of the addition of a banana liqueur.

This crafted cocktail arrives at your table in a bottle, ready to drink for $13. “It gives another option instead of grabbing a quick beer or a gin and tonic,” Bolt said.

Those looking for a “no alcohol” option

Rūta Smith

Beverage director Ricky Dunn mixes and crafts cocktails in his upstairs “beverage lab” at MOMO will find a few riffs on classic cocktails on the menu as well, like the “Flor Del Norte.”

It’s similar to a gin and tonic, but made with wormwood, a non-alcoholic plant extract normally found in absinthe.

“We try to at least start with a classic build for creating the seasonal menus, but our main focus is getting the taste where we want it and using as many local ingredients as possible,” Bolt said.

MOMO Riverfront Park

MOMO beverage director Ricky Dunn refers to the upstairs of the restaurant as his “beverage lab,” with over 15 cocktails, plus a few mocktails on the menu. Those looking for a riff on a classic to enjoy by the waterfront can find them in the “classic takes” section on the menu.

“I think with these classic takes I want to make more approachable versions of drinks

that are classics for a reason, but a lot of people shy away from them,” Dunn said.

Those looking to get in on the negroni craze, but with a more light and floral flavor, will surely enjoy Dunn’s “Pony Negroni.” Dunn’s concoction uses Devil’s Elbow cucumber and black pepper gin from Bluffton, Lillet Blanc, which adds a sweet and floral flavor and an Italian bitter called Aperol.

The drink that Dunn is most proud of, however, is the “Next to Last.” It’s a play on the last word, a classic made with gin, green chartreuse, maraschino liqueur and lime.

The original version of the drink may be a bit harsh to some, so he softens the flavors by adding simple syrup and a mixture of coconut and almond milk. Although Dunn changes the cocktail list fairly often, he said this one will be on the list for a very long time, if not forever.

For the home bartenders out there, Dunn recommends spicing up your cocktail game by making shrubs. “To make a shrub, you take fruit, macerate with sugar and hit it with vinegar and let it sit for a few days,” he said. “You wind up with this sweet and sour beverage that you can drink with soda water for a mocktail, but you can also use it as an ingredient to add sweetness and tartness.”

The shrub can then be used to substitute for one or two ingredients in a classic cocktail to switch up the flavor profile.

Food trucks CONTINUED FROM PAGE 19

Tony’s. “But we’re starting to just be a little bit smarter about where we book as far as distance goes, so then we’re not driving too far.”

Unfortunately, that’s not the case for all food trucks, especially those that are just starting to get the wheel’s turning.

Smash City Burgers has been popping up around the city at breweries like Snafu, Freehouse and Two Blokes since November.

And earlier this month, the pop-up purchased a trailer from Flight, a former fried chicken food truck.

“The thing is, because I’m still new, that’s a little different,” said Smash City owner Jeremy Reynolds. ”If I was an established food truck, I could dictate the terms of where I wanted to go, and it’s great for folks that can do that.

“But at the same time, I want to get my name out there and I want a chance for everyone, no matter what part of the city you’re in, to have a chance to try us out.”

Destination trips aren’t the only gaseating activity. Runs to the grocery store or to U.S. Foods and Restaurant Depot for supplies must be considered now, too.

“We don’t have food delivered to our kitchen, so I’m driving back and forth to the store sometimes two, three times a day,” said Bryson Webb of the eclectic Motley Chew. “So even doing that adds up to 50, 60

miles a day.”

Webb said he’s really getting hit with the price increases, as his truck uses diesel fuel, a county average of $4.97 per gallon according to AAA reports.

“Diesel’s always been expensive, and that’s definitely a very high price point now,” Webb said. “Gas prices have definitely affected every aspect of our cost of operating, between the truck, the generators and my personal car.”

“It does make you think, ‘Do I need to pick up more ingredients at one time?’”

Reynolds said. “Now you have to consolidate those trips just to save money. What used to be a $5 trip is now a $10-$15 trip.”

And it isn’t just gasoline prices. The cost of a gallon of propane has also increased.

Oscar Hines said Dashi is especially being hit by the propane prices. “We probably spend about three times more on propane than our gas any given week,” he said.

“In terms of propane, it’s jumped from $3 to $5 in some places … and the increase is probably close to $70 a week, as opposed to gas, which is more like $30 a week.”

“The biggest thing for me is going to be the propane,” Smash City’s Reynolds added. “When I first started, I was using just a standard 25-gallon tank, and at the end of the year, I had to buy two more. In November, it was costing me $16 to fill up a tank, but now it’s costing me up to $25.”

My Dream Dinner

Margaritas, poke bowls and queso with a twist Melanie Lovell of James Island wants to sip spicy margaritas with a historical figure who was kidnapped in 1851 by a Native American tribe as a pioneer teenager, and later given a blue chin tattoo, along with author Temple Grandin and comedian Amy Poehler.

DREAM DINNER GUESTS: Historical figure Olive Oatman, Grandin and Poehler.

Lovell said she picked Oatman because she wanted to learn what truly happened with the tribe. “Though Oatman herself did not immediately comment on her years with the Mojave, the whites who welcomed her back into their society were quick to speak on her behalf,” said Lovell.

DRINK: Spicy Pineapple ‘Rita from Community Table.

APPETIZER: Queso with pickled serranos

Chelsea Lucas

from Jalisco Taqueria. “Usually queso is served with chorizo, but I think the pickled peppers give the dip a nice kick without adding too much heat.”

ENTREE: Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl from Edison James Island. “It hits all the right notes and will satisfy any umami craving you might have.”

DESSERT: Peanut butter pie from High Cotton. “It is exactly what dessert should be: rich, indulgent and decadent.”

enée Fleuranges-Valdes, a North Charleston textile artist and owner of Quilted Artistry, learned her craft after the death of a longtime friend’s mother, Jenny, who was a talented hand quilter. “When she passed away, my friend said, OK, you’ve always had an interest in mom’s quilting. Well, I boxed it up. It’s all yours,’” said Fleuranges-Valdes. “I took my first quilting class as a homage to Jenny.” And to this day, she still carries Jenny’s quilting snips with her in her quilting bag.

Fleuranges-Valdes has been teaching quilting, selling her fiber art pieces and judging competitions since 2007, but turned it into a full-time business after retiring from IBM in 2019. Now, she sells her bright, intricate wall quilts

at gallery shows and in a home gallery. Art collectors can purchase her pieces online, but local buyers who want to see the pieces up close before buying can visit her home gallery in North Charleston.

One of her pieces will be on display in North Charleston City Hall’s African American Fiber Art Exhibition beginning May 4.

For those interested in learning to quilt, she also teaches classes. After signing up for a virtual class, she mails a starter kit, helps students pick fabrics and spends a full-day teaching how to make a unique quilt. Aspiring quilters can sign up via her website.

Free Will Astrology ARIES (March 21-April 19): The Carib people from Surinam quote their mysterious Snake Spirit as follows: “I am the force of the spirit of the lightning eel, the thunder ax, the stone. I am the force of the firefly; thunder and lightning have I created.” I realize that what I’m about to say may sound far-fetched, but I suspect you will have access to powers that are comparable to the Snake Spirit’s in the coming weeks. In fact, your state of being reminds me of how Aries poet Marge Piercy expressed her quests for inspiration: “When I work, I am pure as an angel tiger, and clear is my eye and hot my brain and silent all the whining grunting piglets of the appetites.”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “It’s always too early to quit,” wrote cheerful author Norman Vincent Peale, who first popularized the idea of “positive thinking.”

I’m an optimistic person myself, but I think his advice is excessively optimistic. On some occasions, it’s wise to withdraw your energy from a project or relationship you’ve been working on. Struggling to find relevance and redemption may reach a limit. Pushing ever onward might be fruitless and even harmful.

However, I don’t think that now is one of those times for you, Taurus. According to my reading of the astrological omens, it is too early for you to quit.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “You can be as earnest and ridiculous as you need to be, if you don’t attempt it in isolation.” So says author Barbara Kingsolver. She adds, “The ridiculously earnest are known to travel in groups. And they are known to change the world.” In my view, this is perfect advice for you right now. If you and the members of your crew focus on coordinating your efforts, you could accomplish blazing amazements in the coming weeks. You may solve riddles that none of you has been able to decipher alone. You can synergize your efforts in such a way that everyone’s individual fate will be lifted up.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): About 200 years ago, poet William Wordsworth wrote, “Every great and original writer must himself create the taste by which he is to be relished.” Now I’ve come up with a variation on that wisdom: “Every great and original soul must herself create the taste by which she is to be understood and appreciated.” That’s what I hope you will work on in the coming weeks, Cancerian: fostering an ambiance in which you can be even better understood and appreciated. You now have extra power to teach people how to value you and get the best out of you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “I hate housework!” complained comedian Joan Rivers. “You make the beds, you do the dishes, and six months later you have to start all over again.” I wish I could give you a six-month reprieve from having to attend to those chores, Leo. In fact, I’d love it if I could permanently authorize you to avoid all activities that distract you from thinking big thoughts and feeling rich emotions and pursuing expansive adventures. But I’m afraid I can only exempt you from the nagging small stuff for just the next three weeks or so — four, tops. After that, you’ll have to do the dishes and make the beds again. But for the foreseeable future: Focus your energy on thinking big thoughts and feeling rich emotions and pursuing expansive adventures!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A British plumber named Kev Crane worked for weeks to install a new bathroom at a private home. As he toiled, he passed the time by singing his favorite songs. He didn’t know that the homeowner, Paul Conneally, was the owner of a music label. So he was surprised and delighted when Conneally offered him a deal to record an album in the label’s studio. There may be a comparable development in your life during the coming weeks, Virgo. You could be noticed in new ways for what you do well. Your secret or unknown talents may be discovered or revealed. You might get invitations to show more of who you really are.

Be alert for such opportunities.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): It’s the start of the Listening Season for you Libras. I propose a full-on celebration of listening: a three-week Holiday of Paying Close Attention to Important and Interesting

By Rob Brezsny

Words Being Said in Your Vicinity. Make yourself a magnet for useful revelations. Be alert for the rich information that becomes available as you show the world you would love to know more of its secrets. For inspiration, read these quotes. 1. You cannot truly listen to anyone and do anything else at the same time. — M. Scott Peck. 2. Learn to listen. Opportunity sometimes knocks very softly.

— my friend Jenna. 3. Listening is being able to be changed by the other person. — Alan Alda. 4. If you want to be listened to, you should put in time listening. — Marge Piercy. 5. Listening is a magnetic and strange thing, a creative force. When we are listened to, it creates us, makes us unfold. — Karl A. Menninger.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Worry doesn’t count as preparation,” writes author Lily Akerman.

That sounds wise, but I don’t think it’s true in all cases. At its best, worrying may serve as a meditation that helps us analyze potential problems.

It prompts us to imagine constructive actions we might take to forestall potential disruptions — and maybe even prevent them from erupting into actual disruptions. I bring these thoughts to your attention, Scorpio, because now is an excellent time to engage in this kind of pondering. I declare the next three weeks to be your Season of Productive Worrying.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If I had my way, you’d be a connoisseur of kisses in the coming weeks. You’d make it your intention to expand your repertoire of kissing styles and ask willing partners to do the same. You would give and receive unwieldy kisses, brave kisses and mysterious kisses. You would explore foolish, sublime kisses and sincere but inscrutable kisses and awakening kisses that change the meaning of kisses altogether. Are you interested in pursuing this challenge? It will be best accomplished through unhurried, playful, luxurious efforts.

There’s no goal except to have experimental fun.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “Anybody who has survived his childhood has enough information about life to last him the rest of his days,” wrote author Flannery O’Connor. Her observation may be a bit of an exaggeration, but not much. And I’m offering it to you now, as you begin a phase when you can glean many new teachings about your childhood — insights that could prove handy for a long time to come. I encourage you to enjoy a deep dive into your memories of your young years. They have superb secrets to divulge.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Creativity is the power to connect the seemingly unconnected,” said author William Plomer. I agree with that. And I’m pleased to let you know that in the coming weeks, you will have more of this power to connect than you’ve had in a long time. I hope you will use it to link your fortunes to influences that inspire you. I hope you will wield it to build bridges between parts of your world that have been separate or alienated until now. And I hope you will deploy your enhanced capacity for blending and joining as you weave at least one magnificent new creation.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “I use my intelligence to discover more ways of appreciating you,” author Piscean Anaïs Nin told her lover Henry Miller.

In the coming weeks, I recommend you activate a similar ambition. Now is a time when you can enhance your close relationships with important allies by deepening your insight into them. What magic is at play within them that you haven’t fully recognized before? How could you better see and understand their mysteries? PS: You may be pleased when your deepening vision of them prompts them to extend the same favor toward you.

“It was three days really far apart, and in between, someone would have an idea like, ‘Oh hey, what if we just set up a mic in your bedroom and throw down this part? What if we go in and take that blueprint we did on day two and layer this on top of it?’ The space helped make it a little more mature and settled,” Pekar said.

The solid musicianship projected by Pastel Places might give the illusion of an equally solid future direction, but Inn Vinegar has no set plans.

Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Tyler Boone has preserved his Charleston roots with his Americana-prone alternative rock, but his new single “Wicked Girl,” released March 18, is straightforward blues rock. The new song is a collaborative product of Boone’s travels between Nashville and Charleston, with the final tracks recorded at Big Animal Studio on Johns Island.

In addition to an upcoming album, Boone is organizing a day festival at Holy City Brewing in North Charleston on July 16 to celebrate his Boone’s Bourbon branded special-release Holy City brew, Boone’s Beer, in collaboration with 105.5 The Bridge. —Chelsea Grinstead

R&B singer Tonya Nicole’s latest single “You Got Me” gets a crushing assist from Manny Houston Flamingo guitarist Thomas Kenney and is emblematic of Nicole’s style. Working within an easy soulful pocket, she flexes her vocal dexterity and lyrical craft in what amounts to a love duet. The new song fits in line with her previous single, “LIMBO,” a sensual declaration of devotion.

Nicole said her upcoming EP’s lyrical themes are dedicated to her 20-year marriage. She added that Kenney, along with Dries Vandenberg (formerly of local indie

rock band SUSTO), are simpatico collaborators because they understand her roots while pulling her sound forward.

“My style is very much R&B, gospel and jazz — I’m influenced by all of that,” she said. “And what I like doing is trying to infuse that old feeling with the new. That’s why I choose producers that are younger. I love working with them.”

Nicole’s debut EP, #1996KindaLove, drops March 25.

In the Charleston performing arts community, Tonya Nicole is generally known for her talent as an actress. A core ensemble member at PURE, she became a theater teacher after graduating from College of Charleston. But following a cancer diagnosis in 2019 — and, thankfully, a successful treatment — the 43-year-old Nicole made a decision to leave the teaching profession and commit solely to acting and to her original music. Her debut EP, #1996KindaLove, reveals an assured vocalist with startling talent.

A self-professed “preacher’s kid” from Holly Hill, S.C., Nicole grew up on gospel and mostly eschewed secular music. She turned an early love of jazz singers and a flare for performance into a focus on theater. But dealing with cancer and a full time teaching gig during a pandemic were just too much.

“I had to leave the teaching profession because of the stress,” she said. “I realized that I have to do something that’s going to make me happy. So ever since then, I’ve been doing theater and singing. That’s it.”

Blessed with a deep, willowy voice capable of improv-inflected runs, Nicole’s vocals give her music a powerful immediacy whether she’s riding a minimalist funk groove on the poppy 2021 single “Cotton Candy” or a guitar-strumming, languorous R&B riff on her new single, “You Got Me” (with guest bars courtesy of fellow multihyphenate talent Manny Houston). “You Got Me” dropped March 11. It’s a collaboration with local producer and Doom
