The Lanxess chemical plant near Charleston’s Rosemont community once had robust community engagement

Questions arise following chemical plant’s toxic gas leak

News 06.15.2022

After a devastating explosion at what was then known as the Albright and Wilson chemical plant near Charleston’s Rosemont community in 1991, plant operators committed to several outreach efforts and community programs and warning systems to foster a more open relationship between Rosemont residents and the chemical plant.

But since then, the plant has changed hands several times, leaving many of these programs on the back burner, according to former plant employee and S.C. Rep. Wendell Gilliard, D-Charleston. But in the wake of a leak of toxic phosphorus trichloride gas on May 24, Gilliard — who spent more than 20 years working at the plant — is sounding the alarm.

“We started creating a lot of outreach programs — scholarships, public spaces for children to learn, job opportunities — everything in the area of business and economics,” he said. “But these things fell by the wayside once all the original workers left, including myself.”

The now German-owned Lanxess plant, purchased in 2018, recently conducted an internal investigation into why the toxic gas leaked. During that incident, workers were clearing out lines when a leak of phosphorus trichloride occurred in a secondary containment building, according to a company statement. A November 2019

S.C. Rep. Wendell Gilliard said the Lanxess plant’s community outreach programs fell by the wayside chemical leak and fire at the plant required Rosemont residents to take shelter in their homes and shut down Interstate 26. It also led the state Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) to conduct comprehensive plant air inspections that continued into 2022. DHEC didn’t cite the company with any violations following the inspections, nor did it cite Lanxess after the

May 24 leak, according to DHEC media relations director Ron Aiken.

“The [May 24] release was contained on site and there are no known injuries, exposures or environmental impacts as a result of the incident,” Aiken said.

Site manager Michael Jansen told the City Paper the recent gas leak was minor and didn’t require sounding an alarm to warn Rosemont residents of the issue. The Charleston Fire Department was called, but a fire crew wasn’t dispatched, according to officials.

But Gilliard said, even though the issue was minor, small mishaps can lead to large accidents. The 1991 explosion killed nine workers and injured dozens and rattled windows downtown. This, he said, makes community engagement and trust all the more important. Lately, he said, that hasn’t been happening.

“I always felt that working closely with the president in the neighborhood association was the genesis of any type of progress they wanted to make or communicating any issues that would impact the other surrounding communities,” he said. “It’s one thing to have a dialogue, but it’s another entirely to make progress — you can meet and greet all day long, but nothing will benefit the community.”

The sentiment is felt by residents, too, especially when it comes to safety concerns.

“They’re supposed to have better safety CONTINUED ON PAGE 6

South Carolina cracked the top five in the nation for number of mass shootings so far this year, settling at No. 4, despite the state being only the 23rd-largest in population. There have been 12 mass shootings statewide so far in 2022, and five have happened since May 1.

The data come from the national nonprofit Gun Violence Archive, which tracks shootings and other forms of gun violence nationwide.

In the Lowcountry, a judge denied bond for Deljavon Lamat Simmons, 31, in relation to a mass shooting on Memorial Day that left nine people shot and three others injured. Simmons is charged with five counts of attempted murder and one count of possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime. —Skyler Baldwin

S.C. abortion advocacy groups prepare post-Roe world

When will a decision be announced?

A decision is expected in the last week of June, though it may be pushed back into July.

What if Roe is overturned?

If the Supreme Courts upholds Mississippi’s 15-week abortion ban and overturns the 1973 precedent decision in Roe v. Wade, abortion is not automatically banned in South Carolina as there is no trigger ban currently in place. It does, however, deny individuals of the constitutional right to abortion.

“Roe was always the floor for a lot of us.

It was never the ceiling,” said an employee of the Carolina Abortion Fund who asked not to be named. “But thinking about losing that very basic structure that establishes that abortions can’t be banned in any state — that’s terrifying.”

Up to 26 states could quickly ban or heavily restrict abortion following the decision, according to the Guttmacher Institute. In South Carolina, it’s speculated that Attorney General Alan Wilson and Governor Henry McMaster will immediately file a motion to lift the injunction currently in place on the state’s six-week ban. This could be granted in a few days or a few weeks.

Could South Carolina ban abortions altogether?

It’s entirely possible. Gov. McMaster has publically stated he would support an abortion ban without exceptions for rape and incest. James Lucas, R-Darlington, G. Murrell Smith Jr., R-Sumter, McCravy, Travis Moore, R-Spartanburg, Brian White, CONTINUED ON PAGE 6

The team that changed American’s pastime honored in Charleston Events last week in Charleston honored the 14 members of the 1955 Cannon Street YMCA All-Stars (CSAS) Little League baseball team that was denied the chance to play in the Little League World Series because of racial segregation.

That denial led to a civil war in Little League Baseball when hundreds of white teams left the league to join the segregated Dixie Youth Baseball League.

Of the injustice endured by the CSAS, Riverdogs co-owner Michsel Veck said: “It was a tremendous microcosm of all that was wrong in the world.”

On Sunday, at 4:45 p.m., three of the eight surviving members of the 1955 CSAS were honored at the Charleston RiverDogs baseball game during the team’s Larry Doby Day Celebration. The RiverDogs wore jerseys to honor the CSAS. Larry Doby Day is the team’s annual celebration to honor Larry Doby, a Camden, S.C. native and the second Black man to break the color barrier in professional baseball in 1947. Jackie Robinson was the first Black man to play with the Brooklyn Dodgers in the American Baseball League.

Doby followed Robinson, taking the field for the then-Cleveland Indians, now called the Cleveland Guardians.

Mike Veck is the son of Bill Veck, the former Cleveland Indians owner, who hired Doby in 1947.

“Jazz and baseball were responsible for us entering the 20th century in terms of our morals,” Veck said. “I’ve always been really proud to be involved in baseball, one of the first things to really blaze the way, and admittedly years and years too late. But Doby was the ‘every-man’ of that operation, and the Cannon Street YMCA represented the same thing.

“None of us will ever really know what it’s like to be Jackie Robinson,” he added.

“It’s like imagining you’re Bob Dylan. But

Courtesy Charleston RiverDogs

Members of the Cannon Street All-Stars took to the field at Joe Riley Stadium everyone can identify with being No. 2, and so there’s a great identity in Larry Doby.”

The Cannon Street YMCA All-Stars’ story is told in Chris Lamb’s recently released book, Stolen Dreams: The 1955 Cannon Street All-Stars and Little League Baseball’s Civil War. Lamb is chair of the Department of Journalism and Public Relations at Indiana University in Indianapolis.

In the book, the team’s shortstop John Isaac Rivers, 79, recounts the moment in Williamsport, Pa., when he and his teammates were turned away and how it was difficult for him to comprehend the hatred and fear directed at them. “We were invited to the Little League World Series, but we couldn’t play,” said Rivers, who now divides his time between Ecuador and Atlanta.

“When the crowd started to yell ‘let them play’ it was hard to comprehend.”

Rivers is one of eight members of the team still living. The other surviving members are: John Bailey, Washington, D.C.; Vermont Brown and Leroy Major, Charleston; Allen Jackson, New York; and David Middleton, Norman Robinson and William Godfrey, Atlanta. Rivers,

Middleton and Major attended the events last week.

The team’s story led to The Cannon Street All-Stars Foundation, a non profit that provides baseball equipment, professional training, baseball education and skill development to the youth in underserved African American communities.

Events to honor the CSAS began June 9 and ended June 13 with Lamb and CSAS players participating during a panel discussion at Grace Episcopal Church. The team’s recognition is long overdue, Lamb said. It is part of a much larger civil rights narrative in America. “There are also millions of other long-overdue stories involving Black Americans” that need to be told to a wider audience, he said, referring to local civil rights icons Esau Jenkins and Septima P. Clark. The CSAS story can lead to better racial understanding and healing if more people read what the team faced in a racially divided nation, he said. “Our progress in race relations isn’t being held up by Black people, it is being held up by white people,” who are not fully aware of the Black experience in America,” he added. —Herb Frazier

A South Carolina House Ad Hoc Committee, chaired by State Rep. John McCravy, R-Greenwood, is expected to hold a public hearing in the coming weeks to seek testimony on the impact an abortion ban would have on South Carolinians.

The testimony presented will be weighed in consideration with bill H. 5399, which aims to ban abortions altogether. A date has yet to be set for the hearing.

Yet as the country awaits a Supreme Court decision in the Dodds v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case, abortion advocacy groups including Planned Parenthood and the Carolina Abortion Fund (CAF), are gearing up for what they speculate may happen in the coming weeks. Here are the takeaways from a virtual meeting held last week:

protocols, but you know, you always got the jack that takes the shortcuts — ‘We do this every day; we know what we’re doing’ — that’s when the mishaps happen,” said Rosemont resident Arthur Edwards. “Come on, man, you have to be a little bit more considerate.”

That point is echoed by DHEC. “We have found that companies often benefit from building positive relationships with their neighbors,” DHEC said in a statement.

“DHEC works through programs like EJ Strong (chspp.co/ej-strong) to encourage both communities and industries to work collaboratively to address each other’s concerns.

Lanxess said Rosemont residents were notified of the leak, but some said they didn’t know about the incident until City Paper reporters called them. During the 2019 incident, an alarm was sounded that woke residents up at 1:50 a.m.

“When we heard the bell that night, we knew something went on at the plant,” said Rosemont resident Luvenia Brown. “When it goes off, it is startling … I think it rang until the fire department arrived, and it

What if you already have an abortion appointment?

If you have an appointment and Roe is overturned, you should be okay to move forward with the appointment. Abortion will not yet be illegal in South Carolina.

If your appointment falls on a date after Roe has been overturned and the injunction on South Carolina’s six-week ban has been lifted, then you can still show up for your appointment. But, if any embryonic sounds are picked up (typical by six weeks of pregnancy), then you will not be able to receive an abortion.

As a result of the second scenario, patients will have to travel to another state.

(The closest state expected to still have abortion access, at least initally, will be North Carolina. Patient call volume in that state is expected to increase by 4,000%, according to CAF.)

What we don’t know Will abortion clinics still be able to operate?

“Of the three abortion clinics in South Carolina, two are Planned Parenthoods and one is independent, the Greenville Women’s Clinic,” said the CAF employee.

“Whether or not they’re allowed to operate in South Carolina will depend on what laws are passed [in the state].” In all likelihood,

rang for several minutes.”

“I still believe somebody should have rode around like they did in ‘91 with a horn,” Edwards added. “Because even though the sirens went off, the sirens go off all the time — the first Tuesday and the first Saturday of every month at 11 o’clock. And sometimes, we have a misfire, like, the sirens just go off and nothing is wrong.”

The false alarms and consistent testing makes it difficult for residents to know when something is seriously wrong at the plant, Edwards and Gilliard said, an issue that clearer communication — including cell-phone alerts — could resolve.

And the communication issues and safety threats could be set to get worse, Gilliard said, as the massive new Magnolia development is set to add enough homes for thousands of new residents. Magnolia is to be built in an area formerly contaminated by chemical and industrial plants that once lined the Ashley River.

“It’s a huge new project that’s going to take place,” Gilliard said, “And I told them that before this development is complete, this relationship between surrounding communities ought to be more intact, more viable than it is now.” clinics will remain open until state laws have been introduced and passed that could impact their ability to open.

What if you cross state lines to get an abortion?

According to advocacy groups, it is not out of the realm of possibility that S.C. legislators will attempt to criminalize traveling out-of-state to receive abortion care.

“We have had kind of glimpses of what criminalizing pregnancy outcomes might look like, and it’s going to disproportionately fall on Black and Brown individuals, which we know from a myriad of other cases and the way our legal system often operates,” said the CAF employee. “You should always be able to get care where you live. We’re a fund that serves both states (North and South Carolina). We will help people get to North Carolina if they need to. But they should be able to have it where they live.”

What can be done?

Stay up-to-date on the hearing by following Women’s Rights and Empowerment Network (WREN), scwren.org. Keep a look out for an announcement date of the South Carolina Ad Hoc Committee hearing and attend if you’d like to speak. The CAF employee also said investing in abortion funds, keeping clinics open and agitating at the state level are ways to continue fighting for abortion rights. “[If Roe is overtuned] I don’t want people to hear the news and immediately shut down and think: ‘It’s over.

There’s nothing we can do,’” she added. “No, let’s figure out how we’re gonna make our voices heard.” —Samantha Connors

Blotter of the Week

A downtown man was caught red-handed with a 16 oz. can of Seagram’s “Jamaican Me Happy” according to reports.

Police made him pour it out in a nearby trash can. He couldn’t have been too happy about that.

Bag man While running from police, a downtown man attempted to swallow a bag of heroin that officers were attempting to confiscate. Though after being caught, he told officers he had spit it out before officers ever caught up to him.

Does anyone speak Gibberish?

Police dispatch received at least 10 calls from a West Ashley woman who only made random noise and spoke in nonsensical phrases over the phone.

When police went to check on her though, she was nowhere to be found.

So the tint smelled like weed?

Officers pulled over a man for suspected driving under the influence after smelling what they assumed was marijuana coming from the vehicle.

When nothing was found, they wrote the driver a ticket for his window tint.

EDITORIAL

ore than 10,000 students graduated in May and June from area high schools and colleges, which should help local employers struggling to fill positions in a post-Covid world.

With the Charleston-North Charleston unemployment rate as low as 2.4%, just about everyone counted as a possible worker has a job. Now with an influx of new bodies — including more than 7,000 new high school graduates — we hope local employers will be able to benefit by filling job openings from the new pool of talent.

As we tip our hat to new graduates, we encourage them to take advantage of wages that often are more than double the minimum wage. Compared to previous waves of new high school graduates who faced low-paying entry-level positions, it’s not uncommon for similar positions now to pay $15 to $20 per hour, transforming a once-anemic starting wage for subsistence living into a real living wage.

New high school grads, particularly those who forego college immediately, can join area companies in everything from hospitality to service jobs and should be able to earn more than $40,000 a year with some company training. That’s a far cry from jobs that used to pay half as much. For the 3,000+ new college grads, the salary opportunities are even better.

Todd Vollertsen, owner of Southpaw Softwash in Ridgeville, told City Paper special projects editor Herb Frazier that he hopes higher starting salaries will bring more people “to us so we can get better-qualified applicants. Good labor is not cheap, and cheap labor is not good.”

Even better: If new employees work full time and get additional training at Trident Tech or other educational institutions, they could move up the salary scale even more quickly than in years gone by.

Local employers struggling for workers after the whack of Covid-19 generally have had limited labor options — either import talent from outside the area, which is expensive and often cost-prohibitive, or find help from new graduates, local middle-aged people who have taken themselves out of the workforce to care for kids or older relatives, or retired workers who want to boost fixed incomes. The latter two options remain, but new graduates offer real hope for a local job market craving help that will relieve stress on existing workers.

So hats off to new graduates. And let’s hope they become the rays of hope that local employers are seeking to allow them to meet the needs of customers and expand their businesses as we move beyond the pandemic.

OPINION

Blame Big Oil, now laughing all the way to the bank

By Frank Knapp

The price of gas jumped by 25 cents in one week. You are angry.

The average price of gas is 59 cents higher than a month ago and you are now paying over $4 a gallon. You want someone to blame.

Small business owners are paying more for everything with much of the increased cost, one way or another, due to higher gas and diesel prices. And, of course, the small businesses have to pass their higher gas-induced costs on to you, the consumer.

The blame for these gas prices is being largely placed on President Joe Biden and congressional Democrats. They are running everything in Washington, aren’t they? Well, they are not, but that is another issue.

Consider this: Neither the president nor any member of Congress, Democrat or Republican, has voted to raise gas prices. Yes, there has been bipartisan support of Ukraine in its battle against the Russian invasion, support that has included agreement to stop buying Russian oil.

Most consumers understand that some of the increased cost of gas stems from this publicly backed foreign policy.

Refinery capacity is down, which also adds to the problem especially when the summer vacations are causing an increased demand for gas.

So, what happens if tomorrow we flipped the presidency and control of the U.S. House and Senate. What would change regarding gas prices?

Nothing.

Congress could pass a federal gas tax holiday until the end of the year that would cut about 18 cents off a gallon. But there is not much support for that from either party. A different president could release more oil from the nation’s strategic reserve, but Biden has already done much of that.

What is dumbfounding then is why does the American public want to blame Washington? Yet, there is no public outrage for the folks who are responsible for raising the price of a gallon of gas — the oil industry.

Oil industry profits were up nearly 300% in the first quarter of this year compared to the same period last year! We are talking about profit after taking into consideration their expenses and write downs due to exiting their business in Russia.

Have the oil companies used any of this obscene profit to keep the gas prices as low as possible while still making a decent profit? Of course not!

Oil industry profits were up nearly 300% in the first quarter of this year compared to the same period last year!

Instead, the oil companies are doing what all giant corporations do when they receive a windfall (as they did in 2018 after getting a 40% tax rate cut from Congress). They use the money primarily for buying back their own stocks, increasing their value to the benefits of their shareholders and executives.

Where is the public outrage?

If there is finger-pointing to be done on high gas prices, it should be directed to the businesses that are greedily jacking up their prices to make higher profits. Not the gas station owner. The oil companies.

If the president and members of both political parties are to blame, it is because they are not calling out Big Oil and passing legislation for a windfall profits tax with the revenue given back to consumers.

The disconnect between a major cause of high gas prices and who is being blamed is clear. And the oil companies are laughing all the way to the bank.

Feature 06.15.2022

any of the 7,000 local high school graduates this spring will enter a robust tri-county job market with low unemployment and busy companies begging to hire them.

Hotels, restaurants, retail shops and grocery stores are plastered with “help wanted” signs mostly for minimum-wage jobs paying around $7.25 an hour.

Those positions might not be appealing for some young job seekers, not yet ready for the skilled, better-paying positions popping up in the area’s burgeoning manufacturing sector with plane and car makers leading smaller firms that supply them with parts.

Therefore, according to College of Charleston economist Frank Hafner, the recommendation for young, untrained workers skipping a four-year college or the military, is to seek training that could take less than a year for jobs paying twice the minimum wage. There are a variety of fields, where higher paying work can be trained for in relatively short order, he said.

Hafner also said teenagers should not dismiss entry-level jobs like bagging groceries. Entry-level positions, he explained, teach good work ethics and help clarify future job interests and direction. In the wake of the pandemic, he said, the workforce has also changed as Baby Boomers have either retired or dropped out, leaving openings with a quicker path to advancement for younger employees.

In addition to manufacturing, construction, computer science, transportation and logistics, medical services and hospitality are among the hot local jobs. But high school grads are not yet prepared for all of them because of education requirements, said Dr. Cathy Almquist, Trident Technical College’s vice president for education. Many of these jobs require a certificate or a twoyear associate degree.

Welders, truck drivers and mechanists are mainstay, well-salaried jobs that are now getting more attention as big manufacturers are moving to the tricounty area, she said.

“There has never been Almquist a collective realization of that or an emphasis on it,” she said.

“More people are now aware of those types of careers and people are now aware that manufacturing is not the mills of the 1950s.” These are no longer professions where you come home dirty, she added, citing the clean plant floors at companies such as Boeing, Volvo, Mercedes and Bosch.

Hafner dispelled the idea that the pandemic alone is the reason employers are having a tough time filling jobs in a tight labor market. The April unemployment rate was 2.4% in Charleston and North Charleston

combined, according to the S.C. Department of Employment and Workforce.

“We still have Covid, but people aren’t avoiding crowds,” he said. “The reasons some jobs go unfilled could be that it is not what graduates want or it does not pay enough.” The trend has been that companies are reluctant to hire unskilled young people, he added. Thus, the more training the better. He does not expect that equation to change anytime soon.

Before 18-year-old Hayden Shiell graduated in late May from Ashley Ridge High School, he was on a career path to become a diesel engine mechanic.

During the school week, in addition to his regular academic classes at Ashley Ridge, Shiell Shiell also attended a technology classroom at the Dorchester County Career and Technology Center in Ridgeville to study diesel engines. Initially, Shiell wanted to be an electrician, but his buddies were in the diesel class. He switched to the diesel class to hang out with them, he said, then discovered he simply liked diesel engines. Next spring, he plans to enroll in Lincoln College of Technology in Nashville, CONTINUED ON PAGE 12

Decide on a career path early Some students wait until the last minute to make career decisions, losing valuable time to prepare for that first important job interview beyond a part-time summer gig, said Rania Thompson, career specialist at Woodland High School in Dorchester County School District Four.

“The ones that are accepted to college are ready for the next chapter in their lives,” she said. “Some are going to the military. But we also have some who don’t know what they want to do. They’ve let that senior year creep up on them. The pandemic made a lot of people lazy, unfortunately. We had to sit out for a year, secluded. Now that we can do [things again] we are stuck on not doing anything.”

Employers are calling with jobs that outpace the number of students willing to apply. For those who do apply, she added, they’re often hired at job fairs at the Woodland High School in the Town of Dorchester in Dorchester County.

For several generations society has emphasized a college degree as a means to success, said Chadwick Lindsey Vail, workbased learning partnerships coordinator for the Charleston County School District. Now, he said, a four-year degree can be associated with debt. “While college is right for some students, many could be better served with focused career training,” he said. “The paradigm has shifted to specialized training.”

Vail recommends Trident as a site for short-term training courses to prepare for high-demand skilled positions with companies waiting to fill them. Some of these opportunities also come with the possibility of advancement and even a company-paid undergraduate degree.

Ben Harmon is a technician with Charleston Air Company, which offered him a job before he completed a degree program at Trident Technical College

Air Company, saw that trend toward skilled positions shifting in 2017 as he was about to leave the U.S. Air Force in Charleston. While still in the military, Harmon enrolled in a HVAC certificate program at Trident. He wanted to ensure he had a transferable skill to a civilian job. Even before he completed the program last year, Charleston Air had made him a job offer.

When it comes to its degrees and focus each year, Trident uses a two-pronged approach to determine which degree and certificate programs to cut or create, Almquist said. The college uses the Charleston Area Chamber of Commerce’s talent demand study and it convenes academic advisory committees of industry leaders twice a year.

“Our No. 1 factor for developing a new program is what the employers in our area are telling us so we can respond quickly to industry demands,” she said. “Every one of our technical disciplines has an advisory committee composed of individuals from that industry.” At Trident, 500 people serve on 40 academic advisory committees.

Willis Cantey, president of Cantey Tech Consulting in North Charleston, serves on one of these. The college, he said, “has been very responsive and has done a spectacular job of trying to adapt to what we are Cantey looking for, but there are just not enough graduates to fill the local job market.”

Mobile workshop and career centers

The Charleston County School District has extended its job-training pipeline to the middle school years to expose even younger students to careers, Vail said. Eighth graders are given a career assessment to determine their interests and gifts: “so we can align them with a program of study at one of the district’s three career centers in East Cooper, West Ashley and North Charleston,” Vail said.

Each year students, their parents and their counselors meet to “help students connect with career opportunities and to confirm or eliminate their interests,” Vail said. The district also has an online career exploration toolkit for students and their parents to become prepared for college or a career after high school (charlestonempowered.com).

In Dorchester County, Thompson touts the Department of Employment and Workforce’s Be Pro and Be Proud SC (beprobeproudsc.org). The program features a mobile workshop that arrives at job fairs to show students a variety of skilled careers.

Their 53-foot, double expandable 18-wheel custom built trailer has eight simulators for truck diving, forklifts, carpentry and welding to show students that trades are just as respectable as an undergraduate degree.

Southpaw Softwash owner Todd Vollertsen worries young people think exterior work is too hard

Not enough workers for two very different companies In the fast-paced race for employees, two tri-county companies can’t find enough job candidates to choose from regardless of the skills required for the positions.

Todd Vollertsen, owner of Southpaw Softwash, recently bumped his company’s starting salary from $15 to $18 an hour in a desperate attempt to fill two entry-level jobs. Vollertson purchased the 3-year-old company in February. Four employees at his high-end service clean the exterior of historic homes and houses on the resort islands and commercial buildings.

At the other end of the wage and skill spectrum, Willis Cantey, president of the 92-employee Cantey Tech Consulting in North Charleston is “casting a wider net” to fill seven jobs, including two entry-level intern positions. Cantey founded the company 15 years ago this July with himself and two employees. The company also has offices in Summerville and Greenville.

Cantey’s available positions offer a starting hourly pay of $18 to $20 that could become full-time salaried positions with benefits after six months of training. Junior technicians help information technology staff install computers and manage a variety of other tasks.

Vollertsen and Cantey have different views on the pandemic’s effect on their inability to find workers.

After the pandemic, companies quickened the pace to find employees, Vollertsen said. “What has changed?” he asked. “The economy is not hotter than before the pandemic so what has changed? I don’t know

where people are or where they are getting the money” to stay home and decline work.

Cantey said the job market has “moved beyond the pandemic. I don’t see how that affects our [IT] industry in particular, especially given that the majority of it can be done from home. There are just not enough applicants.”

Striking out with recruiters

Vollersten said, “I think the younger people we are talking to [think] exterior work is too hard. They want an easier job. But it is also the labor market. We have not had the responses to our ads.” Since March only six people have responded to them, he added.

To find candidates for two assistant tech positions, Vollertsen has used social media and the job-search services Indeed and ZipRecuriter, with no success. He also has hired a recruiting agency, but the price of its services further adds to his operating cost. To meet recent high school graduates not planning on college or the military, Vollertsen came up short again during job fairs at Ashley Ridge and Woodland high schools in Dorchester County.

“We have increased our pay because we know the cost of living has gone up with higher fuel and food prices, and we’ve had a 20% price increase to cover our cost,” he said.

The wage for an entry-level job starts at $18 an hour then it could rise to $20 an hour after 60 days of training, Vollersten said, adding his top-level lead technicians CONTINUED ON PAGE 14

can earn $40,000 to $60,000 annually.

With two more employees, he explained, he could double his current capacity of cleaning one or two structures daily. “We have room for growth,” he said. “We are willing to pay and willing to offer opportunities for growth.”

Vollertston plans to move his Ridgevillebased company to Summerville at the end of the year when he’ll offer full benefits.

He hopes the higher starting salary brings more people “to us so we can get betterqualified applicants. Good labor is not cheap, and cheap labor is not good.”

Not every IT position requires a four-year degree

Forty percent of Cantey Tech’s employees reside in the Lowcountry, with 30% living in South Carolina and 30% out of state. Many of them work from home. “We are hiring from all over the country,” Cantey said.

“Many of these positions in IT support and consulting can be filled remotely. Although, I’d prefer to hire locally.” The applicant pool for the remote positions are full, he said. But he’s just not getting enough applicants for

the local jobs. According to a work demand study prepared by the Charleston Metro Chamber of Commerce, the average wage for computer, engineering and science jobs is $80,523 in 2019.

“We have seven openings, and I would like to fill them all by five o’clock today,” he said with a laugh. “We have been looking for these positions on average for fortyfive days. We are also working very hard to make Cantey Tech a place where people stay. It is not just that it is hard to find people, it can be hard to keep people.”

The tri-county education system produces potential employees, said Cantey, who serves on the advisory committee at Trident Technical College. But enough people, he added, are not choosing the IT field. The Charleston City Paper asked why not? “I don’t know,” he responded. “It does not require extensive post-secondary education … and a lot of debt. But it does require a detailed focus, a lot of interaction with the clients and end users, and it does require good technical trouble-shooting skills.”

Cantey’s two available entry-level internship positions, however, only require a candidate to have an associates technology degree or demonstrate they plan to complete a degree program, he said. “We don’t need five years experience for every position.”

Artifacts Mlima’s Tale takes the stage at PURE Theatre

CofC student performs in Spoleto’s The Approach

Mlima’s Tale by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Lynn Nottage opens at PURE Theatre on June 16. A beautiful elephant is hunted for its tusks and takes the audience on a journey through the underground international ivory trade. The play stars Brandon Alston as the eponymous elephant. Shivam Patel, Anna Lin, and PURE Core Ensemble member (and City Paper contributing arts editor) Michael Smallwood play a collection of characters from around the globe. The show runs June 16 - June 25 at the Cannon Street Arts Center.

This is the southeastern regional premiere of Mlima’s Tale. For more information and to purchase tickets, head to puretheatre.org/mlimas-tale.

By Michael Smallwood “I think the principle that ‘the show must go on’ is a really important one that people cleave to,” said Anne Clarke, founder of Landmark Productions. After two years of that adage being proven wrong because of the effect of Covid-19 on the performing arts, this year’s Spoleto Festival USA has worked hard to ensure that each show does, in fact, go on.

Whether it was Omar’s blocking being minimized following an injury to lead Jamez McCorkle or the entire Ballet Encore program being reworked because of a dancer injury, the 2022 festival worked hard and quickly to ensure audiences saw a performance instead of a cancellation.

For The Approach, which ran from May 30-June 12 at the Dock Street Theatre, that meant bringing in a surprising substitution to fill a role: College of Charleston student Delaney Faile.

Mark O’Rowe’s The Approach follows three women from Dublin as they have conversations that reveal their connections, their truths, and the history they’ve been hiding from each other. It’s an intricate dance of storytelling and character, told in exceptionally well-written scenes between two actors at a time. However, the Tuesday before opening night, Catherine Walker (who plays Cora) tested positive for Covid19. Without an understudy, this meant the first three performances were necessarily canceled. But when Walker continued to test positive on Sunday, decisions needed to be made about what to do for the rest of the week’s shows.

“How on Earth can we avoid canceling?”

Clarke asked. “Because I’m conscious that people travel for the festival and they book tickets in advance.” Landmark Productions, founded in 2003, has had to bring in replacement actors a handful of times in their 19 year history. Sending someone on to read the script so that the performance happens is industry standard in emergency situations,

Delaney Faile made a splash with her unexpected Spoleto debut and the decision was made to do this until Walker tested negative and could go on.

Because Spoleto shows at the Dock Street Theatre run in rep (when a theater runs several different productions at the same time, switching between them each day), The Approach needed to keep its original tech rehearsal dates despite the opening night cancellations. For this tech rehearsal, they turned to Delaney Faile, a Charleston native currently studying arts management and theatre performance. Faile was also a Spoleto Artist Services apprentice, providing everything from transportation services to Covid tests. She had met O’Rowe and the team earlier in the week at an event with other CofC students.

Clarke had no idea that Faile was an actor when the student stood-in for the initial tech rehearsal. “She read in during the day, and read wonderfully,” Clarke said.

Faile did more than just stand-in for lighting queues — she acted. “I didn’t want to stand there and be a blank wall for the actresses to play off of,” Faile said. “I wanted the rehearsal to be good.”

Faile impressed the team enough to be asked to play the role until Walker’s return.

The student never once second-guessed the decision. “Okay, this is an incredible opportunity,” Faile said. “This isn’t real. This stuff only happens in movies. If somebody’s gonna pinch me, I’m gonna wake up. This is a crazy

opportunity and I kind of didn’t hesitate.”

Faile was given very little rehearsal. She rehearsed with writer/director O’Rowe on Monday morning, then an afternoon tech run-through, and then performed that evening for an audience that effectively constituted The Approach’s opening night.

Clarke was incredibly impressed with Faile’s fearlessness for taking on the challenge. “Unshakable confidence of extreme youth, because Delaney is only 19, but she said yes immediately,” she said. But because The Approach follows three women with the same backgrounds, all from Dublin, all in their 40s, having a 19-year-old American doesn’t tell quite the same story.

“Even going into the tech rehearsal I was like ‘we’re not doing the accent,’ ” Faile said. “I don’t have an Irish accent.

I’m not even gonna try.” Recognizing that she’s easily 23 years too young for the role, Faile instead tried to focus on the relationships between the women rather than the character specifics.

“The play is about the relationships of these women,” Faile said. “So it was just kind of focusing on connecting with Aisling (O’Sullivan, who played Anna) and Derbhle (Crotty, who played Denise) when I was onstage with them and rehearsing with them.”

Making art affordable and accessible is the philosophy behind artist, designer and entrepreneur Gianna Lucia’s clothing and accessory brand True Lucia.

“A canvas painting, you can only hang it in a house and only whoever comes in the house sees it — and it’s also expensive,” she said. “I’ve always wanted art to be accessible, something that anyone can have.”

Lucia grew up in a family of artists, so art was just part of her life.

“I’ve been making art since before I can remember, but I didn’t take it seriously until I was 16,” she said. “I realized I wanted to do this full time, so I moved to New York City at 17 to hustle and make it as an artist.”

Lucia created her brand during the pandemic when galleries closed down and art sales declined, forcing her to look at other options for income. During that time, she began painting on denim and modeling her work on Instagram.

“People started DMing me and asking to send in their thrifted clothes or jeans they don’t wear for me to paint on it,” she said.

“It took me a year to get going and get a lot of customers. It wasn’t until I moved to Charleston that my work blew up, which I’m so grateful for.”

Lucia started selling her work at local craft markets and pop-ups, but soon was able to open up her own shop. That John Street shop, True Lucia, opened in July

The True Lucia brand is about art you can wear 2021 and is filled with bright colors, groovy music and Lucia’s hand-designed clothes — including hand-painted jeans, dyed jumpsuits and hats perfect for a summer festival.

Her clothing and designs exude love, positivity and happiness, all of which shine through Lucia herself.

Faile joins Johnnie Felder, from nearby Vance, S.C., as South Carolina locals who have taken the stage suddenly during this Spoleto Festival USA. Felder replaced Metropolitan Opera tenor Paul Groves in the Chamber Music Series on June 7 and 8. It is both rare and exciting to see local talents take the big stages for the acclaimed international festival.

From the moment the performance began, Faile carried herself with poise.

The Approach featured minimal blocking: simple, straightforward entrances and exits to simple scenes of the women having conversations across a small table. Nothing had to be restaged to accommodate Faile taking on the role. The only difference was that she was reading from a notebook on the table. A pre-show announcement put things in context for audiences who may have otherwise been confused by the young actress’ presence.

“It’s not just terrifying for the actor that goes on but also for the actors onstage,” Clarke said. Crotty and O’Sullivan had done the show in its run in Ireland, and Walker was a new addition for this Spoleto production. “All of those safety nets that have been honed by weeks and weeks of rehearsal are suddenly out the window. So it’s really a high wire act.”

Faile echoed this sentiment, praising the

Dog is a man’s best friend. Or in Brandon Close’s case, the face and name of his rapidly expanding barbecue sauce company, Chipper Dog BBQ. Named after Close’s 12-year-old English Bulldog Chipper, Chipper Dog BBQ sauce and rub has suddenly found itself in 115 stores across five states — Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, North Carolina and South Carolina — in just over two years.

What started as a backyard hobby turned into an actual business venture.

“I started smoking [meats] like 15 years ago in the backyard,” said the 38-year-old Close. “I worked for John Deere [in Illinois] and on Saturdays and Sundays, I’d be spending them in the backyard with the smoker. I read an article Close about Carolina barbecue sauce and had never made it before. I did it for a college presentation on different barbecue sauces, actually. We were close, but we weren’t traditional Carolina barbecue sauce. It’s evolved from there a lot, obviously.”

Close moved to Charleston in 2015 and found himself working in kitchens across the city at places like Bessinger’s and Sticky Fingers, developing a tongue fit to make his own branded barbecue sauce. He “invested” in himself and incorporated Chipper Dog BBQ in April of 2020 after an infusion of startup cash from his late grandmother.

Shortly afterward though, the pandemic hit. Fortunately, Close worked at Timbers on Kiawah Island as a manager out front and a cook in the kitchen. There he was able to further develop his sauce and realize its wide-scale potential.

At Timbers, Close added his barbecue and sauce to the menu. “That was kind of our proof of concept,” he said. “Because people would come down and get a barbecue sandwich as the first thing they did when they got into town.”

Between shifts at Timbers, Close spent hours on the internet researching different ways to get a product on grocery store shelves. He reached out to co-packers in the region, other barbecue sauce companies and even went on Facebook food and beverage groups to ask for advice.

“I always said, everything we’re going to do, we’re going to do it professionally, and I don’t care if it costs me more money,” he said.

By July, 2020 Close had locked in a

Stems & Skins’ sister restaurant recently appointed Paul Farmer as its new executive chef and Anthony Joseph as the new general manager. “While Chef Farmer has been crafting the delicious dining menu, Anthony has been hard at work training our staff, overseeing operations and also collaborating with the Stems & Skins team to craft a drink menu that is seasonal and pairs well with all of our food offerings,” said partner of AOC Hospitality Matt Tunstall.

Three Sirens is located at 1067 Montague Ave. and open Tuesday through Thursday from 4-9 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 4-10 p.m. —MP

co-packer who could bottle his sauce and left Timbers. By that September, with the product in hand, he hit the ground running.

Close started with the 40-plus Piggly Wigglys in South Carolina — all of which are independently owned. If your product is good, he said, it’s far easier to convince a Piggly Wiggly owner or manager to carry your product as opposed to big corporations like Publix or Kroger. The first location to carry Chipper Dog BBQ was the Piggly Wiggly on Skylark Drive in West Ashley.

The next stop was the Piggly Wiggly on Otranto Drive in North Charleston, where he met the district manager of Lowcountry Grocers, owner of 15 Piggly Wiggly locations across South Carolina.

From that chance meeting, Close received contacts for around 34 stores across the state.

With phone numbers, names and addresses in hand, he pounded the pavement.

“I just went to every one of them,” he said.

“I would start out by calling them. If I did that and talked to them beforehand, then stopped in and showed them the product, it was about a 90% chance I was gonna get in. If I just cold call and stop in, about a 30% chance.”

Chipper Dog eventually found itself in 30 Piggly Wiggly stores across South Carolina.

From there, dominoes started to fall.

To land a deal with independent IGA stores, Close contacted W. Lee Flowers in Lake City, S.C., which not only owns and operates 50 IGA and KJ grocery stores in Georgia and the Carolinas, but warehouses that distribute food to them.

Close then worked out an arrangement with Perfect 10 Distribution, distributors of popular southern and Lowcountry brands like King of Pops, Red Clay Hot Sauce and Marsh Hen Mill, by applying on the website.

In just under two years, Chipper Dog BBQ Sauce was carried in over 100 grocery stores.

Close next landed a deal with Lowes grocery stores. Chipper Dog participated in the Lowes-sponsored Pinehurst Barbecue Festivals Sauce Showdown competition last Labor Day. The winner would earn a one year Lowes shelf contract. Chipper Dog didn’t win, but that didn’t stop Close from making a connection. At the festival, he simply asked Lowes team members about carrying Chipper Dog. The team gave him the name of Lowes buyer, and by 2022, Chipper Dog was in all 15 Lowes Foods in South Carolina.

Starting in August of 2021, Close added a booth at the Charleston City Market and Night Market to his growing list of locations for Chipper Dog. He had spent so much time getting into grocery stores that there wasn’t much time to set up a booth in the local market.

“I feel like there are people that make careers out of the Charleston market and people that make careers out of wholesaling,” he said. “We’re trying to do both at the same time. And it’s crazy.”

Courtesy Carmella’s Cafe and Dessert Bar

It is THAT good!”

Free Will Astrology ARIES (March 21-April 19): “The whole point for me is to change as much as possible,” says Aries actor Keira Knightley. What?! Is she serious? Her number one aspiration is to keep transforming and transforming and transforming? I guess I believe her. It’s not an entirely unexpected manifesto coming from an Aries person. But I must say: Her extra bold approach to life requires maximum resilience and resourcefulness. If you think that such an attitude might be fun to try, the coming weeks will be one of the best times ever to experiment.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Taurus poet May Sarton relished, “the sacramentalization of the ordinary.” What a wonderfully Taurean attitude! There is no sign of the zodiac better able than you Bulls to find holiness in mundane events and to evoke divine joy from simple pleasures. I predict this specialty of yours will bloom in its full magnificence during the coming weeks. You will be even more skillful than usual in expressing it, and the people you encounter will derive exceptional benefits from your superpower.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Here’s a message I hope you will deliver to the Universe sometime soon: “Dear Life: I declare myself open and ready to receive miracles, uplifting news, fun breakthroughs, smart love and unexpected blessings. I hope to be able to give my special gifts in new and imaginative ways. I am also eager for useful tips on how to express my dark side with beauty and grace. One more perk I hope you will provide, dear Life: Teach me how to be buoyantly creative and sensitively aggressive in asking for exactly what I need.”

CANCER (June 21-July 22): In August 2021, a Canadian man named Jerry Knott bought a ticket for a lottery. He stuffed it in his wallet and lost track of it. Two months later, he found it again and checked to see its status. Surprise! It was a winner. His prize was $20 million. I propose we make him your role

model for now, my fellow Crabs. Let’s all be alert for assets we may have forgotten and neglected. Let’s be on the lookout for potentially valuable resources that are ripe for our attention. More info on Knott: tinyurl.com/RememberToCheck LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Hundreds of years ago, people in parts of Old Europe felt anxiety about the Summer Solstice. The sun reached its highest point in the sky at that time, and from then on would descend, bringing shorter and shorter days with less and less light. Apprehensive souls staged an antidote: the festival of Midsummer. They burned great bonfires all through the night. They stayed awake till morning, partying and dancing and having sex.

Author Jeanette Winterson expresses appreciation for this holiday. “Call it a wild perversity or a wild optimism,” she writes. “But our ancestors were right to celebrate what they feared.” Winterson fantasizes about creating a comparable ceremony for her fears: “a ritual burning of what is coward in me, what is lost in me. Let the light in before it is too late.” I invite you to do something like this yourself, Leo. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Virgo author Elizabeth McCracken says, “I don’t dream of someone who understands me immediately, who seems to have known me my entire life.” What’s more meaningful to her is an ally who is curious, who has “a willingness for research.” She continues, “I want someone keen to learn my own strange organization, amazed at what’s revealed; someone who asks, ‘and then what, and then what?’” I hope you will enjoy at least one connection like that in the coming months, Virgo. I expect and predict it. Make it your specialty!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Libran author Stig Dagerman said that when he was sad as a child, his mother kissed him until his mood lightened.

When he was older and sad, his mama said, “Sit down at your desk and write a letter to yourself. A

long and beautiful letter.” This would be a good task for you right now, Libra. Whatever mood you are in, I invite you to write a long and beautiful letter to yourself. I further recommend that you carry out the same ritual once every six weeks for the next nine months. This will be a phase of your life when it’s extra crucial that you express soulful tenderness toward your deep self on a regular basis. You may be amazed at how inspirational and transformative these communications will be.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Sometimes, the arrival of a peculiar event in your life is a good sign.

It may mean that Fate has sent an intervention to disrupt a boring phase of inertia or a habit-bound grind. An unexpected twist in the plot may signal a divine refreshment. It could be a favorable omen announcing a helpful prod that’s different from what you imagined you needed. I suspect that an experience or two fitting this description will soon materialize in your life story. Be alert for them. Promise yourself you’ll be receptive to their unexpected directives.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Sagittarius author Edna O’Brien long ago shed the strict Catholic faith in which she was raised. But she still harbors spiritual feelings colored by her tradition.

She says, “Ideally, I’d like to spend two evenings a week talking to [novelist] Marcel Proust and another conversing with the Holy Ghost.” I suspect a similar balance of influences will be healthy for you in the days ahead, Sagittarius. My advice is to connect with an inspiration you drew sustenance from while growing up. Spend time equal time consorting with deep-feeling smart people who will stimulate you to rearrange the contents of your rational mind.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I’ve composed a message for you to deliver to your best allies. It will help you be clear about the nature of your energy exchanges. Say something like this: “I promise to act primarily out of love in my dealings with you, and I ask you to do the same with me. Please don’t help me or give me things unless they are offered with deep affection. Let’s phase out favors that are bestowed out of obligation or with the expectation of

a favor in return. Let’s purge manipulativeness from our dynamic. Let’s agree to provide each other with unconditional support.”

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Author Lauren Collins tells us, “Bilinguals overwhelmingly report that they feel like different people in different languages. It is often assumed that the mother tongue is the language of the true self. But if first languages are reservoirs of emotion, second languages can be rivers undammed, freeing their speakers to ride different currents.” I bring these thoughts to your attention, Aquarius, because the next 12 months will be an excellent time for you to begin becoming bilingual or else to deepen your fluency in a second language. And if you’re not ready to do that, I encourage you to enhance your language skills in other ways. Build your vocabulary, for instance.

Practice speaking more precisely. Say what you mean and mean what you say 95% of the time. Life will bring you good fortune if you boost your respect for the way you use language.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Piscean-born Robert Evans has been an amateur astronomer since he was 18. Though he has never been paid for his work and has mostly used modest telescopes, he holds the world record for discovering supernovas — 42. These days, at age 85, he’s still scanning the skies with a 12-inch telescope on his back porch. Let’s make him your role model for the coming months. I have faith you can achieve meaningful success even if you are a layperson without massive funding. PS: Keep in mind that “amateur” comes from the Latin word for “lover.” Here’s the dictionary’s main definition: “a person who engages in a study, sport, or other activity for pleasure rather than for financial benefit or professional reasons.”

Pulse Rusty Bull hosts summer acoustic series

Local rock quintet Serpent Church followed up the recent debut EP, Quakes of Our Echoes, with a haunting cover of a Band of Horses classic, “The Funeral”

Stoner rock outfit Serpent Church slithers towards their own sound

By Kyle Petersen It would be easy to get lost in the ritualistic spectacle that the Charleston stoner rock outfit Serpent Church has shrouded itself in.

Images of snake handling and haunted country churches are part and parcel of their web presence and merch, and it’s paired with a sound that invites similarly spooky resonances.

The group’s recently-released debut EP Quakes of Our Echoes opens with spectral organ sounds, doused in reverb, inviting you into their world. A slow, mournful guitar sprawl unfolds with a stately, vaguely menacing, lope before a long dissolution into distortion and feedback. Things only get more rough-edged and rambunctious from there.

But, according to co-founder and lead guitarist (and occassional City Paper contributor) Jon Stout, the band name and concept all came a bit after the fact.

“It actually took us a little while to come up with a band name,” he admitted, noting that the four members (before lead singer Chris Filan joined up) batted around a bunch of names and ideas before settling on the name that has driven them conceptually forward.

“It’s been helpful, particularly with

merch, because there’s a lot of imagery that we can use. But the music is not always about that.”

Instead, the band grew organically with Stout and drummer Michael Hiott, both of whom played in the hard rock group The Cancer a few years back, reuniting to jam in Stout’s garage back in 2020. The two quickly added bassist Robby Weise and guitarist Anthony Capone to the fold while searching for a lead singer.

“We didn’t want to go with the whole screaming thing that a lot of [harder] bands do, because that kind of pigeonholes you a little bit,” Stout explained. “When we brought Chris [Filan] in, we pretty much auditioned him on the spot by making him record a song with us in the style and sound [we were going for].”

And that sound is a comfortable yet exciting meld of stoner rock, classic metal and straightahead punk, with just a touch of indie rock eclecticism. That blend comes across both in the range of the four songs on the EP as well as Filan’s ability to channel Michael Stipe as much as he does Glenn Danzig.

Stout says the group is already working on new material. “The stuff we’re writing now is a little heavier, slower stuff,” he said.

“We definitely are [still] building our sound

and what we want it to be. I mean, you definitely have to get your feet wet first and put something out and then go from there.”

In the meantime, the band is excited about their recently-released “stoner rock” version of Band of Horses’ “The Funeral.”

It’s a track that recognizes the surprising potential for pummeling riffs in the indie rock power ballad while also showcasing Fillan’s vocal chops. It also dramatically showcases a band still twisting its sound to new ends.

It was a surreal release week for local pop artist Ryan Lill when his new EP Makeup streamed over 60,000 times across 45 countries.

Brooding ballads and unaffected bubblegum pop collide on the new 17-minute EP strung together with languorous lo-fi compositions and heady vocals that capture a sultry summertime feeling.

“I do it as stripped-down as possible,” Lill told City Paper. His live performances have consisted of him on guitar or piano with a simple synth, and the recording process for Makeup maintained a similarly straightforward setup.

The edgy new EP that dropped May 13 was recorded in about six months under Jordan Costello’s direction at Costello Studios in Summerville with beats contributed by California-based producer Mantra.

To Lill, the creative space he was accessing for his earlier music is worlds apart from his songwriting for 2021 singles like “Ocean” and “Adore Me.” It was in penning those songs that he moved into the more solid, genuine space from which Makeup sprang, where he wasn’t writing for a specific outcome or to get a point across.

“I stopped thinking about what this music is going to do,” Lill said. “I’m writing songs that feel like me. I’m able to get out in front of people on the stage and sing and just feel like I’m sitting with friends telling them about my life. I’m coming into my identity more than I ever have before.

I’m feeling more comfortable in my body, in my skin — my emotions and my fluidity and my gender — I’m more expressive in how I dress and how I perform. It feels very empowering to me that I am vulnerable.

I’m writing about my mental health. I’m writing about feeling sexy in my skin, and I’m writing about how you can feel sexy in your own skin.”

Rūta Smith

Charleston-born singer-songwriter Ryan Lill delivers heartfelt pop songs glossed with a distinctive punk attitude on his new EP, Makeup Being born and raised in Charleston is a double-edged sword for Lill, who believes that clothing and music are genderless, universal art forms that everyone has equal relevancy to express. He sees how the South can hold a boxed-in view when it comes to booking at venues or recognizing musical merit.

“I feel like here in Charleston we have this idea: ‘Yeah, you can be different but only certain types of different,’” he said. “ ‘Yeah Ryan, it’s cool if you’re gay, but don’t come out in a woman’s dress, don’t wear high heels.’ I’m like, ‘You don’t get to say that you’re OK with one form of the queer umbrella but not everything that it’s encompassing.’ Preach acceptance, not tolerance.

“I don’t want to be tolerated. I want someone to say, ‘OK, he’s different, and that’s fine.’ ” —Chelsea Grinstead
