The Lowcountry dodged a big hurricane bullet 33 years and a week after Hurricane Hugo.
When Charleston Mayor John Tecklenburg went to bed Thursday night, he said he believed the storm that killed more than 100 in Florida would make landfall on or near the city’s peninsula.
But it didn’t follow predictions, steering north at the last moment to slam into the South Carolina coast 55 miles northeast of Charleston in Georgetown County. It had sustained winds of 85 mph that knocked down beach piers, tumbled dunes and flooded streets.
While not as vicious here as expected, the Category 1 storm still brought har rowing winds and several inches of rain all day Friday to communities from Folly Beach to Summerville to Mount Pleasant.
By Saturday, the storm cleanup began at an institutional level along streets and in tens of thousands of yards in residential neigh borhoods along the coast.
Tecklenburg on Saturday admitted the Holy City was lucky the worst of Ian veered away as it approached. He correctly predicted the city would quickly be back to normal. “We are a resilient city,” he said.
During a Saturday briefing, Gov. Henry McMaster said no one in South Carolina died during the storm.
“We know that some people lost some things, we know some property was dam aged and we know that some schedules were upended,” the governor said. “But at the end of the day, South Carolina stood strong.”
In contrast to Friday’s all-around weather nastiness in Charleston, Saturday morning brought clear, blue skies, crisp temperatures and sunshine as a recovery crew sawed a limb that fell across a power line at South Windermere shopping center and cut off power to the adjacent neighborhood.

110,000 of its S.C. customers lost power Friday at the peak of the storm. All but 15,000 customers had power back within 18 hours. By Sunday, all customers had power again, a spokesman said. Berkeley Electric Cooperative said 36,000 of its Tri-county customers lost power in the storm, but had the lights back on Saturday night, thanks in part to more than 200 line crew members from other cooperatives around the region.
“When things are at their worst is when coops are at their best,” said Libby Roerig, Berkeley Electric’s communications manager.
On Saturday after the storm, cars and trucks drove along messy streets on Folly Beach and sent standing water spewing onto lawns. Residents walked stir-crazy dogs to get out of homes that had been without power for almost 24 hours. “Gotta do something,” one woman said.
Eva Williamson of Rock Hill, who braved the storm in a friend’s beach house on Cooper Street, said Ian wasn’t too bad as she swept a concrete driveway. At least now, she noted, she’s gone through a hurricane.
A few miles away on James Island, a man chainsawed an oak tree that fell onto Kentwood Circle. A neighbor was thankful that water didn’t get into his home.
“The storm wouldn’t have gotten us at all if it wasn’t for the people driving along the street,” said Ryan Kohlhepp, who explained how cars driving too fast on
standing water during the storm splashed waves of water that got past sandbags into his garage.“People just need to be more mindful.”
After such a long, gloomy Friday, crisp air and sunshine made Charleston’s marshes pop, reflecting a brilliant chartreuse from grasses and silvery blue on streams. Other than leaves scattered on soggy yards, it was a Chamber of Commerce morning.
“We were lucky as all get-out,” Tecklenburg told the City Paper on Saturday. “There’s no question about it. I was nervous as hell the day before yes terday. Even after the track had changed so many times with this unpredictable storm, we were less than 24 hours out and the best information we had was the track was coming over Folly Beach and straight to the peninsula of Charleston.”
The mayor said he knew things wouldn’t be a worst-case scenario early Friday when he looked at skies at the Battery and saw clouds heading from the peninsula toward James Island — the exact opposite of what he expected. And because winds didn’t push water into the city, the storm surge from Ian was less than predicted.
“I knew we were going to have a much better day than had been predicted. But it had to play out.”

In the 1980s, Lonnie Hamilton III operated Lonnie’s Jazz Club at 110 N. Market St. For more than two decades, he was band director at Bonds-Wilson High School in North Charleston.
Retired music educator Lonnie Hamilton III has received many honors, but the Tip of The Hat Award he will get on Oct. 14 during the Charleston Jazz fundraising gala comes with a special meaning.
The award is named for Charleston Jazz co-founder the late Jack McCray, who was a mainstay at entertainment and social venues around town as he sported his classy “chapeaus.”
As a music critic and jazz historian, McCray authored Charleston Jazz, in 2007 that chronicles the city’s contri bution to America’s jazz tradition. The book includes William Louis Gailliard’s band the Royal Sultans. Gailliard gave a 17-year-old Hamilton his first gig as a professional alto saxophonist.
“Jack McCray [wrote about] the guys who took us as young people and got us involved in music,” playing at places like Folly Beach when it was off limits to Black people, said the 94-year-old Hamilton. “I am happy about the award because Jack gave attention to the contributions the early people made.”
The Keepin’ Jazz Alive gala will begin at 6:30 p.m. at the Harbour Club at Westedge. Proceeds during a paddle-raise auction will support jazz performances and music edu cation, including scholarships for students at the Charleston Jazz Academy.
The gala will feature a performance by award-winning trumpeter Sean Jones, members of the Charleston Jazz Orchestra and students of the Charleston Jazz Academy.

In the mountain town of Ataco in El Salvador, a female street vendor sold flat bread to S.C. State Treasurer Curtis Loftis Jr., but she did not accept U.S. dollars or another foreign currency. Instead, she wanted bitcoin.
Bitcoin was also the accepted legal tender at an upscale Salvadoran restaurant where Loftis and other South Carolinians dined in mid-September during a factfinding visit to see how bitcoin, a digital currency, is functioning as the country’s national currency.
On Oct. 5-7, Loftis and others will discuss El Salvador’s economy and other emerging digital technology during the S.C. Blockchain Conference at the Indigo Inn in Mount Pleasant. Hester M. Peirce, a member of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, is also scheduled to attend the conference.
The conference, sponsored by the S.C. Emerging Technology Association (SCETA) based in Charleston, recently gained sup port from state lawmakers who authorized Loftis to spend $500,000 to study digital currency literacy. Information about digital currencies is expected to be added to the treasurer’s office website this month.
In an interview with City Paper, Loftis said, “My job is not to be a proponent or an opponent of bitcoin or digital assets. My job is to look at them all and try to see how the state wants” to use the technology and then develop a financial literacy course for it.
Loftis said he found it interesting that many Salvadorans who don’t have bank accounts use bitcoin as part of their small businesses one year after the Central American country adopted bitcoin.
“After 100 years of modern banking, between 15% to 20% of the country uses bit coin and 80% of the people do not have bank accounts,” the treasurer said. Bitcoin makes it easier and cheaper for Savadorans abroad to send money home to their relatives, he added.
Dennis Fassuliotis, SCETA’s president, said what he and others witnessed in El Salvador recently was useful in the organi zation’s effort to encourage more support and understanding for digital assets and emerging technologies in the Palmetto State.
“We heard multiple stories about how street vendors have embraced this tech nology and significantly grown their busi nesses as a result,” he said. “While there are a number of variables to consider, it’s exciting to ponder the prospects of how South Carolinians, especially those in our rural communities, might also benefit from using bitcoin.”
Bitcoin’s value changes daily. El Salvador’s decision to use it as legal tender along with the U.S. dollar, which replaced the country’s colòn currency in 2001, is not getting rave reviews internationally. The Conversation, an online forum on global affairs, calls the decision a failure.
Loftis was among five South Carolinians who met with the country’s finance min ister and other government officials.
“They knew it wasn’t going to be easy, and they knew there were going to be mis steps,” he said. “I feel confident they are going to do a fine job with it. Whether that is what (South Carolina) wants to do I don’t know. What I’ve learned in El Salvador is that what the [critics] have been writing from New York, London and Paris did not match what I saw in El Salvador.”
Loftis traveled to El Salvador with a group of business leaders, rural health officials and individuals interested in the expansion of cryptocurrency and blockchain technolo gies. They saw a 10-week financial literacy program that included lessons on how to use bitcoin for daily transactions. Loftis stressed he didn’t use state or SCETA funds to pay for his trip to El Salvador.
During the October blockchain confer ence, presenters will discuss bitcoin as well as business and governmental uses of blockchain technology. Blockchain technology is a computer-based, ongoing permanent ledger that records transac tions and ensures each one is authentic. A digital asset is anything that has a value that can be stored on the blockchain as unique digital data such as a book, music, videos and photographs.

rencies. The blockchain technology uses bitcoin or another digital currency for transactions, including paying local taxes or making international transactions to save money and time.
Blockchain technology is said to have near unlimited uses. Everyday uses could include storing and transferring drivers’ license information between two state gov ernments to simplify getting a license in a different state. It also can instantaneously move money to an individual or company without using a bank, avoiding fees and transaction limits.
The Lowcountry has a bunch of bridges but there’s one you might not have heard of: the area’s Latinx Advisory Council. Comprised of 38 people from diverse backgrounds in business, education and cultural affairs, they provide social services for and improve engagement with the Hispanic community.
“We have been like a bridge to connect the city with the Hispanic community, and in that way we can create a conversa tion,” said Nilsy Rapalo, business growth and development co-chair for the Latinx Advisory Council.
Rapalo, a native of Barranquilla, Colombia, moved to Charleston 20 years ago. She has been a mental health counselor with the S.C. Department of Mental Health as well as a life coach. In 2015, she opened a business development company, Circulos de Bienestar, which offers a range of services for the Hispanic business community.
A major role of the Latinx Advisory Council is to meet the needs of the Spanishspeaking business community, Rapalo said. A board member with the local Hispanic Business Association, she has organized
Spanish-speaking business expos that help minority businesses register with state and federal entities to receive grant money, among other services.
“These are amazing people that are doing good things for the city,” Rapalo said. “They are just asking to have the same opportuni ties as other citizens. No more, no less, just the same.”
Motivation for Rapalo came after she graduated from Lowcountry Local First’s Community Business Academy Program as the only Spanish-speaking participant in 2019. Since then, she’s become a teacher with the program and helped to develop its Spanish curriculum.
“Now [the local Hispanic population] has the opportunity to learn about business and have all the tools, resources and support from the Latinx Council, from the City of Charleston and from Lowcountry Local First,” she said. “They can open their busi nesses with support.”
Charlie O’Brien joined the Latinx Advisory Council about a year ago. He is the director of client experience for Climb Fund downtown on Race Street, a nonprofit that creates jobs and fosters economic develop
ment through small business loans.
O’Brien, who is originally from Caracas, Venezuela, said he has been in the U.S. most of his life. He’s done translations, such as Spanish language ver sions of Covid-19 safety information, for the City of Charleston as part of his role on the council. The council is currently working on developing Spanish inclusion on the City of Charleston website.
“There’s people from all different walks of life, from all different cultures [on the Latinx council] so when we get together, you get a well-rounded conversation,” O’Brien told City Paper. “I think positive things come out of it. Our calendar this year has grown so much as far as celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month, and I think that does show that there is some progress being made.”

• 256: Number of damage reports from the hurricane that were submitted by citizens to the City of Charleston. Additionally, the city completed 335 rapid neighborhoodlevel assessments and 96 FEMA prelimi nary damage assessments.
• 97: Number of traffic signals that Ian knocked out. All were restored by Monday.
• 66: Number of roads closed during the storm. Police reopened all by Monday.
• 41: Number of downed trees cleared by the city’s staff after the storm, as of Monday. That represents 67% of trees that were downed during the storm in public spaces, such as roads, parks and playgrounds.
• 15: Percentage of city streets that had been swept of debris by Monday morning. City crews expect to continue clean-up efforts on a seven-day schedule until they’re fin ished, according to a spokesman.
• 0: Number of deaths that occurred in South Carolina due to Hurricane Ian.
Ian made landfall near Georgetown about 2:15 p.m. Friday, according to the National Hurricane Center. It packed maximum sus tained winds of 85 mph.
The National Weather Service’s John Farrell on Friday described the impacts of the storm across the state: “Peak wind gusts as of 12 p.m. have reached 83 mph at Fort Sumter, 73 mph at Folly Beach, 60 mph at Murrells Inlet, 58 mph at the Charleston Airport, 55 mph at Georgetown and 53 mph at North Myrtle Beach.”
Former state Rep. Vida Miller of Pawleys Island said Saturday that her beach com munity got hit hard by the storm.
“Beaches got slammed,” she said in an early morning text. “Pawleys is a wreck. Georgetown got a lot of water too.” She added both causeways to Pawleys were breached by water. They reopened Monday.
All along the Grand Strand, the storm dumped tons of beach sand on roadways paralleling the coast. At least five piers from Pawleys Island to North Myrtle Beach col lapsed, partially or completely, according to media reports.
Two days earlier on Wednesday, Ian was a Category 4 tempest that pounded southwest Florida. It weakened into a tropical storm as it tore across the center of the state, only to be resurrected Thursday as a hurricane hit ting the open waters of the Atlantic Ocean. After it pierced South Carolina, it headed north quickly. By Saturday morning, it was a tropical depression centered in Virginia with rain bands stretching to Boston.
While no one in South Carolina died in the storm, more than 100 people in Florida weren’t as lucky as of Monday. In North Carolina, four deaths were reported.
Charleston police responded Sept. 25 to a report of a drunk woman refusing to leave a downtown restaurant. She told the officer she was staying at a nearby hotel and he offered to escort her there. She could barely stand in the lobby, and when he helped her sit down, she became irate and started hitting him with her purse. He arrested her for public intoxication.
A different kind of mini bar Charleston police and first responders found an unconscious man behind the wheel of a truck Sept. 21 that was parked in a Folly Beach Harris Teeter lot. When fire officials managed to wake him, the man said he had “a few mini bottles” while he was parked. Police found 17 empty mini bottles and five unopened Fireball Whiskey mini bottles in the car, not to mention six unopened vodka mini bottles between his legs. He was arrested for public intoxication.
Defensive driving Charleston police responded Sept. 21 to a Daniel Island warehouse where a man said his uncle broke into his van and stole $2,000 in cash. He said he jumped on the hood of his uncle’s car as he drove away and fell off. He refused medical treatment and signed a refusal to prosecute his uncle. Wonder if he left a dent.

Perhaps the most important race on the ballot in November is for the person who will be the next state superintendent of education.
We strongly recommend that you vote for the teacher in the race, Democratic candidate Lisa Ellis of Lexington County. Unlike her main challenger, she has completed all of the requirements to be able to take office on day one.
And more than that, Ellis understands in the core of her being that public education is vitally important for the future success of our state. She is pushing for a highquality education for all of South Carolina’s students, not just the “minimally-adequate” education funded for years by the state legislature. Ellis is keenly aware that the state superintendent of education’s main job is to support public education, not tear it down by siphoning away public monies for private schools.
This year’s choice for voters is, quite frankly, simple. You can vote for Ellis, who has experience and expertise about teaching our children and who wants to reform and strengthen public education, or you can vote for a candidate who wants to turn the constitution on its head and use public money for private schools.
An active educator for 22 years, Ellis got busy four years ago with a new effort — bringing together the state’s teachers as a powerful new advocacy force to push for teacher pay raises. After rallies at the Statehouse and countless meetings by teachers with lawmakers, SC for Ed got its way, as reflected with big new raises in the
state’s current budget.
But more needs to be done, Ellis will tell you.
“My goal is to really affect change that helps teachers and students in South Carolina,” she told the City Paper recently. That means asking hard questions about why too many things are still being done the way they’ve always been done — a recipe for continued low education metrics in a state that’s already got too many challenges. Among the change Ellis envisions is to challenge state education mandates that have been in place for years and may no longer work.
“I’m all about asking questions and drilling down to what the root problem is,” Ellis said. “That’s what I teach my students when we’re working on criticism and leadership.”

If she wins in November, Ellis will have another big job — to attract more young people in the teaching profession to fix a continuing shortage. The state currently is short more than 1,100 public school teachers, which causes classroom sizes to swell. So who better to do that than someone who knows what teachers want and what teachers need?
Bottom line: Lisa Ellis is all about improving outcomes for South Carolina’s students and teachers. We’re thankful she’s running. And we encourage you to help her to win.

The debate surrounding abortion that has been taking place at the Statehouse is an absolute disgrace to the women of South Carolina. Our state took a major step backwards in August when House Republicans voted to pass a near-total ban on abortion. Last week, House Republicans confirmed their attack on women by insisting on their version of a ban over a slightly weaker Senate proposal.
Because of a rogue U.S. Supreme Court, far-right conservatives are waging a war on women in our state and across our country. Let me be completely clear: They will not win.
They will not win because women will turn out to vote at levels never seen before in this year’s election to vote these Republicans out.
They will not win because this ban is cruel and extreme. Under this ban, almost no exceptions are provided for. South Carolinians will not stand for that.
They will not win because this ban will lead to more deaths. Doctors will have a harder time providing adequate care to pregnant women in fear of breaking the law. Women will die if this ban becomes law.
In their misguided crusade to protect “life,” Republicans have turned a blind eye to the severe impact a total ban on abortion would cause.
They are not pro-life. If they were pro-life, they would expand Medicaid to all South Carolinians. If they were pro-life, they would ensure safe drinking water for all. If they were pro-life, they would fully fund education. But they are not prolife, are they?
They are not pro-life. If they were pro-life, they would expand Medicaid to all South Carolinians. If they were pro-life, they would ensure safe drinking water for all. If they were pro-life, they would fully fund education. But they are not pro-life, are they?
No, they are pro-birth. They assume the moral high ground on this issue and shroud themselves in selfrighteousness, completely ignoring the suffering and pain a ban like this would cause.
There is nothing moral about that. Because they’ve never experienced that pain and suffering, they dismiss it.
I heard one of my Republican colleagues who opposed an exception for rape and incest state that in the hypothetical scenario of a 12-year-old girl who was raped by her father and became pregnant, she “had a choice” to go to a pharmacy and purchase a Plan B contraceptive. He was asked how the child would get to the pharmacy. Did he think the rapist father would drive her?
He replied: “The ambulance,” as if it’s that simple.
Their extreme agenda is indifferent to human suffering and is out-of-touch with South Carolina. Voters will have the final say in November. We need to vote with urgency this year, because if Republicans go through with this abortion ban unpunished, they will be emboldened to expand their attack on civil rights.

Patch Whisky spends a lot of time obsessing about a world of colorful little monsters.
“They’re super-mischievous,” the North Charleston artist said. “They get into some things and I don’t know what happens.”
So he thinks about them, dreams a little and then puts paint to canvas to portray the snapshot of a story. Or he uses spray paint to transform walls into vivid murals you’ve seen all over town. Peering at you from atop a building in Avondale or on the side of a wall in North Charleston are Whisky’s monsters, which he describes as “psychedelic candycoated monsters.” (Pro tip: Don’t call them pastel M&Ms with big eyes.)
Whisky — a pen name the artist cre ated when he was a 12-year-old growing up in the small town of Princeton, West Virginia (population 5,872) — classified his art as “pop surrealism.” It shows up on more than walls and canvases — you
can also find it on keychains, pins, T-shirts, bottles, road signs and more.
The process of painting monsters on can vases or walls starts the same.
“I kind of let the painting speak to me and let me know what’s going to happen,” he said one Saturday in his Spruill Avenue studio. “It’s a very organic process that I undertake. I’ll take a picture [in my mind] and explore tomorrow’s future for it.”
On canvas, he’ll pick a bright palette of acrylic paints. “I’m not blending a bunch of paints,” he said. “My acrylics are super flat with layers and gradients.”
Compared to oil paint, acrylic paint on canvas dries relatively quickly — an hour or two, depending on the thickness of brush strokes. But spray-painting a wall with graf fiti-like precision is quick because spray paints dry almost immediately.
“It’s instant gratification to spray,” Whisky said. “It’s going to dry in two minutes and if you don’t like it, you just spray right over it. It’s the most forgiving medium.” Painting a wall might take a few hours, while a larger canvas can take two to three weeks.
The artist works a lot — 50 to 60 hours a week.
“I try to do 12 hours a day at least five days a week,” he said. “When I hang out, I just hang out and paint. I put on a movie and watch scary movies and paint. It’s good to have the energy of the studio.”
Pen name: Patch Whisky.
Age: 43.
Birthplace: Bluefield, West Virginia.
Education: Bachelor’s degree, Art Institute of Pittsburgh.

Favorite artist: “Whoever designed the artwork for Super Mario Bros.,” he said, adding, “DaVinci was a visionary.”
Favorite museum: National Air and Space Museum, Washington, D.C.
Five best places in U.S. for murals: “New York City, Miami, Los Angeles, Detroit and Atlanta.”

I kind of let the painting speak to me and let me know what’s going to happen.” —Patch Whisky
Whisky remembers getting his first Nintendo game when he was 5. The charac ters — particularly those from Super Mario Bros. — made a huge impact.
“It’s stuff I had never seen and I fell in love with it,” he recalled.
Outside his family’s home, he also saw lots of trains, many of which were splat tered with graffiti lettering. It didn’t hurt that his father, who painted watercolors as Whisky grew up, was a train engineer.
“We had train graffiti and this was a dif ferent art form that showed up,” Whisky said. “They rolled through there and I got to see it. It was a lot of lettering and writing,” which he noted made an impact on his nascent art.
After high school, Whisky opted for an extended plan to complete college. At one point between schools, he was a railroad conductor for a year. At the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, from which he graduated in 2004, graffiti continued to influence his work.
“I made a huge network of friends and got to dive into the graffiti culture,” he said. “Some of the best artists then were
the graffiti artists.”
Also at the Art Institute, Whisky said he picked up computer illustration skills, which are important today when he sketches on an iPad to develop a mural or painting.
Whisky said his world of colorful monsters got started a couple of years after he fin ished the Art Institute.
On the walls of his studio are two early examples. “Old Crazy Eye” is a floating orange-tan cartoon shrimp with a wonky eye. You can feel grumpiness emanating from the creature. Another darker early piece shows a monster riding a skull as brown gook drips on a canvas.
Over the years, Whisky’s monster art has morphed into cuter characters that still have a little bit of an edge. He moved to the Charleston area in 2011 to learn from a mural master and has been painting murals and canvases since.
He planned to spend several weeks in Europe this year working on mural projects with other artists, but problems related to Covid-19 put those plans on hold.
“My stuff goes on gallery walls around
“Old Crazy Eye,” an early shrimpmonster, looks nauseated
the world,” he said.
He’s also resumed some traveling in the United States for mural painting, such as a recent weeklong competition in Atlanta.
And he continues to paint canvases, signs, bottles and more, in part boosting supplies or art for the holiday season.
“The only time I can really relax is when I have a can or brush in my hand,” Whisky said. “I try to do that as much as I can.”
Dig it!

Trees are virtually everywhere you turn, from your own backyard to nearby parks and forests where you enjoy hiking. They provide shade and beauty, and some even bear fruit. Beyond all the imme diate benefits, you may be surprised to discover trees are also a critical key to the future.
These facts and tips from the book Now is the Time for Trees offer practical insight on the importance of trees and how to nur ture one from selection to planting and beyond.
A compelling and ever-growing body of evidence generated by scientists, health care professionals, conservationists, humani tarians and both public and private corporations supports the critical importance of trees and their impact on the human condi tion. Trees filter pollutants out of the air and water and provide protection for people and communities from dangerous heat and flooding. They lower urban temperatures, reduce energy bills and sequester carbon to slow the rate of climate change.
When you plant a tree in your yard or neighborhood, that tree goes to work filtering out pollutants, intercepting stormwater and capturing carbon. With proper placement, that tree can also help lower household energy use by as much as 20%.
You can engage in the tree planting movement and make a dif ference by planting trees around your home and surrounding com munity with these tips.
Choosing a tree that will flourish in your growing region is fun damental to becoming a successful tree planter. Start by get ting familiar with the growing conditions of your planting site, including factors like sunlight, soil condition and room to grow.
The amount of available sunlight at your planting location will determine which tree species will be successful. Most trees require full sunlight for proper growth and flowering. Some do well in (or even prefer) partial or light shade, but few perform well in dense shade.
Before you plant, get your soil tested for $6 through the Clemson Agricultural Service to evaluate what’s happening underground. Test results, which are usually returned in a couple of weeks, provide a complete analysis of nutrients, possible contamination and pH (alka linity or acidity), as well as directions for correcting problems.
Be conscious of overhead or underground utilities, pavement, buildings, other trees, traffic intersections and other factors that may impact your planting space.
When choosing which kind of tree to plant, be conscious of details like size, flowering, color (including how colors may vary through the seasons) and your view from inside the house. While shopping, you can rely on plant labels to learn details about a tree’s growth pattern, sun requirements, watering needs and soil requirements.
Two common styles of trees are container-grown trees, which spend their entire nursery lives growing in a container, and ball-and-

burlap trees, which grow in the ground until they achieve a targeted size.
A well-tended container-grown tree has been care fully monitored and moved into larger containers as the plant grows. Be wary of a tree with roots that circle or twist within the container, which may cause roots to die. For a ball-and-burlap tree, look for a firm, securely tied root ball that is large enough to support the mature tree; it should be about 10-12 inches wide for every inch of trunk diameter.
Properly preparing your planting site is one of the best things you can do to get your tree off to a strong start. Before you plant, make sure your tree is thoroughly hydrated by watering the container or root ball several hours before proceeding. When planting a tree into a lawn, remove a circle of grass at least 3 feet in diameter where the tree will go to reduce competition between turf and fine tree roots.
To get started, dig a broad, shallow planting hole with gently sloping sides 3-4 times wider than the diameter of the root mass and the same depth. Mound removed soil on a tarp for easy backfilling. Loosening the soil on the sides of the hole allows roots to easily expand and establish faster, but don’t disturb soil at the bottom of the hole.
Once the tree is positioned, replace the soil while firmly but gently tamping the original soil around the base of the root ball to stabilize it. Create a waterholding basin around the tree by building up a ring of soil and water to settle roots. Spread protective mulch 2-4 inches deep in a 3-foot diameter around the base of the tree, but not touching the trunk.

The welcome mat outside Sunshine Bella Goodman’s front door in North Charleston says, “Check yo energy before you come in my shit” — a fitting introduction to a woman who is the president of the Alliance for Full Acceptance.
The sun streamed in slats of light through the blinds on the living room windows as she sat barefoot in her purple armchair. The apart ment decor is elegant yet understated like Goodman herself.
The Charleston native has many trades up her sleeve: fashion and hair styling, per sonal training and empower ment speaking. Goodman said she realized that college wasn’t for her, and when she moved from Virginia back to Charleston in 2005, she eventu ally pursued an apprenticeship at a local salon instead.
After earning her hair care specialist license, she opened a salon in 2011 in West Ashley, Celebritimage Studio. It has since relocated to a small studio in North Charleston that caters to brides and special event styling. Her goal is to one day own her own building with a styling closet and photography space as a full service studio.
“When I started in the beauty industry is when I started to experiment with my look,” Goodman told City Paper. “In 2019, I went on vacation, and I had a tarot reading. And with the first card that she flipped over, she said, ‘Why do you allow people to refer to you as he if you prefer she?’ ”
The very next morning as she was doing her makeup, she recalled how she gave herself permission to be who she truly was inside.
“Growing up, I didn’t have the language that we have now,” she said. “My parents weren’t able to nurture me as a queer child.
Goodman is president of the Alliance for Full Acceptance.
They didn’t know what that was. Anything that I may have thought got tucked away.
“I believe that when you come here to this earth you know who you are, and life happens to derail you. And as you get older, you start to discover things. You come back to the knowledge and wisdom that you have. Like, ‘Oh, this feels right.’ And that’s what that moment was for me.”
In January 2020, she started her transition with hor mone replacement therapy. Her journey was in the public eye, and she realized how much she loved caring for others, showing them — through her own resilience — what it looks like to succeed as your authentic self.
“Transitioning was a complete roller-coaster,” Goodman said. “It affects you mentally, not necessarily in a nega tive way — it’s like your brain is waking up. Looking in the mirror, you’re wanting to look like how you feel on the inside instantly and that doesn’t happen [right away].”
Goodman quickly became more involved in her commu nity, and she sat on a panel for Black Women Who Vote in February of that year. In turn, that opened the door for her to become more familiar with local humanitarian causes.
“It was just having the support of my community and having the support of my family and friends that really made [transitioning] a lot easier,” she said. “They put me in the position to be a leader in the community, and I cherish it. And it’s opening me up to all these things that were already inside of me.”
She became the first Black transgender president of Alliance for Full Acceptance sin July of this year. AFFA is a local nonprofit organization launched in 1998 centered around empowering LGBTQ+ individuals.
“I know what this organization can be and what I see for it,” Goodman said. “When I was growing up, my father was always telling me, ‘You’re a leader.’ So I thought, ‘Well, why not?’ And I put my name in the hat and the board voted for me to be president.”
AFFA specializes in advocacy and social program ming, such as discussion groups for BIPOC and LGBTQ+ individuals. AFFA also secures small grants for other youth-oriented nonprofits and offers diversity and inclu
sion training certification.
In June 2021, Goodman founded Sunshine Bella Global to house her personal brand and create content that encour ages people to be their authentic selves and approach their sexuality from a place of acceptance and truth.
These days no matter the challenge that’s in front of her, for Goodman, the integral force behind her drive is influence.
“Having money is great and the money will come, but get ting myself to an elevated level of influence — where I can say, ‘Hey, go and tell this person that I sent you,’ and you get what you need — out of everything that I’ve done, it’s all so I can reach back and make it easier for someone else.”
A self-described movie buff, Goodman’s favorite pastime is curling up with a good film. When she chose her apart ment three years ago, one of the most important aspects for her was natural light, and her living room is certainly flooded with it.
“I consider this my chakra room,” Goodman said of her living room. “Every color in here coordinates with all the chakra colors. I want people to feel calm as they come from outside — like my mat says outside, ‘Check yo energy.’ ”
From the purple armchairs and bright yellow couch to the shocking red corner seat and burning orange footstool to the green and blue accents — all of the chakra colors are accounted for.
An array of paintings hung above her couch reflects her respect for Black and queer artists and a love for a visual style that nods to pop art. One of her favorite pieces is a painting that includes the late trans icon and liberation activist Marsha P. Johnson, a New York City leader in the 1969 Stonewall uprising.
“As a Black trans woman, it’s important for me to have her here. I always want to have that representation,” Goodman said.There is a lot to look at in Goodman’s home.

As Hurricane Ian whipped through the Lowcountry as a Category 1 storm, many wondered with two months left of hur ricane season whether this would be the first of many more. Scientists can’t predict storm frequency with confidence, but they can predict with certainty that hurricanes will become more intense. What could this mean for the Lowcountry, its citizens, the economy and our treasured coastal places?
Katrina made landfall as a Category 3 storm yet had a higher storm surge and killed more people than the Category 5 Hurricane Camille in 1969 which hit the same region. These hazards weren’t consid ered when rating the hurricane and there fore left many in harm’s way.
A 2022 study published in Advances in Atmospheric Sciences shows 2021 global ocean temperatures were the hottest recorded by scientists. Not only has the ocean been steadily warming since 1958, but the rate of warming since the 1980s has been eight times faster than any previous decade. Without a doubt, scientists blame human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels, land use change and deforesta tion, for the warming.
Reale
Meteorologists use the Saffir-Simpson’s 1 to 5 rating system, developed in the early 1970s, to determine a hurricane’s strength and any damage it may cause. Decisionmakers use this scale to communicate each storm’s potential hazards to the public. Unfortunately, this system only takes into account maximum sustained wind speed and not storm surge, rainfall or any spinoff storms, such as tornadoes, that are typically responsible for most damage and casualties caused by storms.
There is talk of amending the scale to include factors other than wind speed to avoid giving the public a false sense of security. For many Lowcountry residents, including myself, there is a perception that a Category 1 or 2 hurricane is relatively insignificant. But there is a history of these lower-rated storms causing exponentially more damage.
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA), the 2018 Category 1 Hurricane Florence caused $24 billion dollars in damage and 53 deaths, which is nearly the same amount of death and destruction as Hurricane Michael that made landfall in the U.S. as a Category 5 one month later. Most of the damage from Hurricane Florence came from the immense amount of rainfall that swelled upland rivers in the Carolinas, leading to historic flooding. In 2005, Hurricane
The increase in sea surface temperatures has led to the “extreme rapid intensifica tion” (when wind speeds increase 35 mph or more in a 24-hour period) of recent hur ricanes such as Harvey, Irma, Michael, Ida and now Ian. Sea-level rise coupled with projected increases in precipitation from hurricanes will lead to more destructive storms, especially to low-lying areas and vulnerable populations in our region.
According to the Fourth National Climate Assessment, the Southeast is particularly at risk of climate hazards due to our rapidly growing population, tourism-based economy and vulnerable coastal ecosystems. Any interruptions or deterrents to tourism activities can have devastating impacts on the local economy. Analysts at The Perryman Group estimate Hurricane Florence cost South Carolina
“$3.3 billion in expenditures, $1.4 billion in real gross product and nearly $1.0 bil lion in real personal income.” This analysis does not take into consideration the cost of any losses to our ecological resources such as forests, oyster beds, marshes, fisheries and wetlands. If the intensity of hurricanes increases we can assume that future eco nomic and environmental impacts of single
One of the most effective ways to mitigate the impacts of climate change and hurricanes is to protect our natural coastal habitats.
According to a 2013 Scientific American article, 67% of our nation’s coast is protected by oyster beds, mangroves and wetlands. Should these habitats continue to disappear, more than 1 million additional citizens and billions of dollars in property values and other economic resources would be put at risk.
There are a myriad of climate adapta tion and mitigation opportunities that the region is considering. In 2019, The Dutch Dialogues Charleston’s final report suggests an integrative approach to resiliency using lessons learned from the Netherlands and other low-lying vulnerable places. This report, a product of multi-year engage ment with international and local leaders, scientists and stakeholders, also stresses the importance of protecting and rebuilding our coastal natural buffers.
There are many ways to get involved with the climate resiliency discussion hap pening here in Charleston. Contact your local elected officials and ask whether they understand climate change and what’s at risk. Tell them the importance of developing meaningful regional climate adaptation
Like it or not, climate change is threatening our coastal habitats.
plans that not only protect the economy, but also the environment. Consider becoming involved with one of the many groups working on these issues such as the Coastal Conservation League, the Charleston Climate Coalition and the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy.

Everyone’s favorite creepy, kooky, altogether ooky family has experienced a renais sance in recent years. The Addams Family is brought back to life in two modern animated movies, an upcoming Netflix original series and, of course, The Addams Family: A New Musical, which opens at the Dock Street Theatre Oct. 19.
The play originally opened on Broadway in 2010 and starred Nathan Lane and Bebe Neuwirth as Gomez and Morticia. The show was a smash hit, grossing millions and racking up a Drama Desk Award, an Outer Critics Circle Award, a Drama League Award and two Tony Award nominations. But despite its success, the show received mostly negative reviews, including from
Charleston Stage’s artistic director designee Marybeth Clark.
“I wasn’t super impressed with Addams Family when it was on Broadway,” said Clark, who also directs the production at Charleston Stage. “But they redid it for the tour and they cleaned it up. It’s a lot tighter and I think it plays a lot better.” The revised version of The Addams Family: A New Musical enjoyed a successful tour starting in 2011, including a stop at the North Charleston Performing Arts Center in 2014.
For the uninitiated, the Addams Family was created by Charles Addams in 1938.
They originally appeared in single-panel cartoons and became a successful television series, most notably in the 1960s, and two very popular 1990s live action films. The Addams are wealthy aristocrats who love all
things macabre and delight in the fright ening and weird.
A New Musical tells an original story featuring the titular family. Wednesday Addams, who serves as the basis for many Addams stories including the upcoming Netflix adaptation, has fallen in love with a normal boy. She tells her father Gomez, who must try to keep it a secret from his wife Morticia while entertaining a “normal” family at the Addams estate. Hilarity ensues.
The original stage production kept the production design minimal, but Clark and her team of designers chose to go in a dif ferent direction. “The music is surprisingly complicated,” she said. “It’s kind of oldschool musical theater with lots of
Sounds of Hazel is comprised of four works choreographed by women. Performances run Oct. 20-21 at the Gaillard Center. The Gaillard will also offer an interactive community workshop ahead of the performances. The International African American Museum will use this showcase as part of the countdown to its official opening in January 2023. —MS
South of Broadway Theatre Company and Threshold Repertory Company are co-producing a production of Wolf Hall, based on the novel by Hilary Mantel and adapted for the stage by Mike Poulton .

The show stars David Loar, Maddie Latham, Paul O’Brien, Brian Turner and Kristen Kos. The show runs Oct. 7-Oct. 29. Performances will be held at Threshold Repertory Theatre.

parts, and they tended to just have people standing downstage singing without that many sets. And our designers are really into the sets. So we have a lot more visual interest in this.”
Charleston Stage scenic designer Adam Jehle, in a press release, spoke of his inten tions for the show’s design: “My hope is for audiences to leave having seen a fresh take on this American classic. Our ‘design mantra’ for the show has been the phrase ‘Everything is not as it seems.’ Be sure to take a good look at the set in each scene, because that very well may be true.”
Clark promises lots of surprises in the design. Gravestones that feature jokes and oddball designs. Even the appearance of cer tain characters that the show omits. Some iconic characters of the Addams Family,

most notably Cousin It and Thing, are absent from the script, but Clark is working to find ways to include them.
“I believe that they need to be there in some way,” Clark said about the show’s more infamous omissions. “I’m looking for ways to make sure that Addams Family purists have a moment where they go, ‘Oh!’”
The cast of 22 includes actors from all of Charleston Stage’s various acting pools and features resident actors Cedar Valdez as Gomez Addams, Eliza Knode as Morticia Addams, Jenna Barricklo as Wednesday Addams and Raymond Cronley as Lucas Beineke. Acting ensemble member and Best Of Charleston 2022 award-winning actor Colin Waters plays Uncle Fester. The cast includes local guest actors and contracted Charleston Stage players of all ages and experience levels.
“Most shows, we have a combination of that: someone who’s doing their first show, someone who’s doing their 20th show,” Clark said. “And this show is no dif ferent.” As fate would have it, Eliza Knode is making her debut at Charleston Stage, while Colin Waters is doing his 20th show with Charleston Stage.
“To be playing Morticia, which is a very iconic role, is really exciting for me,” Knode
said. Knode was familiar with the musical from her youth as she performed songs from the show as a high school student.
Waters views playing Uncle Fester as a tremendous opportunity. “It’s so interesting seeing the way he’s almost foiling a lot of other members of the family,” he said. “There is just such a grandiose nature of the scale of the show itself. But the music especially. There are parts where it’s broken down to eight or nine parts of split music happening at the same time. When it’s all put together it hits you like a train coming at ya.”
Knode added, “There’s a different Addams Family for each generation.” The Addams Family: A New Musical should serve each of those generations, from the youngest family members to the most seasoned musical the ater aficionado.
The Addams Family: A New Musical will play at the Dock Street Theatre Oct. 19-Nov. 6.
Charleston restaurants are welcoming in autumn with chilly weather cocktails. It’s time to do away with lighter spirits and crushable cocktails in favor of darker, spiced liquors and flavors like apple and cinnamon.
“For me, you’re backing away from tequila, gin and vodka and you’re heading into more brown liquors like spiced rum, bourbons, ryes or scotch,” said Ricky Dunn, bar manager of MOMO at Riverfront Park. “And in that same token, like an aged tequila can work or a mezcal.”
Drinking dark liquor in the cooler months is like the age-old tradition of “sit ting around a campfire drinking bourbon when it’s cold outside,” according to Blake Rothenberg, bar manager of The Belmont. “And for whatever reason, cinnamon and apples always roll back around.”
At The Belmont, drinks like the Winchester Social, a bourbon-based concoction, will return to the fall menu. Simply described as bourbon apple cider, the Winchester Social is bourbon, apple cider, lemon, honey and garnished with a cinnamon stick, infusing the spice into the cocktail. The Fall Old Fashioned will also make an appearance on the menu. This cocktail is made with bourbon,
The Ramos Gin Fizz is the famous New Orleans-originated riff on a classic Gin Fizz, made of gin, lemon juice, egg whites and simple syrup topped with club soda. The Ramos, though, takes it a few steps further by adding more ingredients and an extra minute (or two) in production time.
The Ramos Gin Fizz uses all the ingredients in the original Gin Fizz plus heavy cream, lime juice and orange flower water. And topped with club soda, of course. It tastes like a lemon meringue or key lime pie, depending on the amount of acidity and freshness of the juices, and has a thick, creamy texture topped with foam.
Straws are recommended to start the drink, unless you want a foamy mustache.
“For an inexperienced bartender it’s a complicated drink,” Rothenberg said. This is due to the complex process it takes to make it.
Rothenberg said, to create this bad break, you must combine all the ingredients into a shaker (without the club soda), and do what’s called a “wet shake,” or shake it with ice, for “longer than a normal sour.” Then, get the shaker frozen “just enough that your hands start sticking to the tin,” he said. That can take anywhere from two to three minutes.
Afterwards, dump the ice and do a “dry shake,” or shake it without ice.
“It has to be done for at least three to five minutes,” Rothenberg added. “It has to. There’s no exception to it. If you don’t do it that long, it will not work.” Once shaken, add the mixture to a chilled glass with club soda for a nice foamy top.
In some recipes, the Ramos can take up to 12 minutes to make and shake.
“It is the one drink on a busy Friday or Saturday night past 10 o’clock that I will not make,” Rothenberg said. “At the end of the day, though, I’ll still happily make anything, just not within those few hours.”
Nashville-based Hugh-Baby’s BBQ & Burger Shop is coming to Charleston this fall. The burger joint is the creation of Pat Martin of Martin’s Bar-B-Que Joint. Hugh-Baby’s will feature burgers, Memphis-style barbecue, hot dogs fries and shakes.

At MOMO, Dunn creates fall cocktails based on seasonal ingredients like pumpkin spice, apple, pear and cinnamon. Something coming back to the menu is the Nothing Else ComPears, a pear martini made with Campari-soaked pear wedges and spiced honey.
Dunn is also introducing his own fall-based Old Fashioned with chai tea. “Whenever I order an old fashioned or Manhattan, I generally use rye whiskey because I like that spice,” he said. But for the Chai Tea Old Fashioned, which will use a bourbon spirit, the spice will come from a house made chai tea Demerara syrup and apple bitters punched up with hard spices like star anise, cloves, cin namon and nutmeg.

It isn’t just spiced cocktails that make the rounds at these bars and restaurants this season. According to Dunn, even if you use lighter spirits in the fall, you “can also make heavier, richer cocktails with dairy or dairy substitutes.” For him, the fall doesn’t start until he’s had a White Russian, a cocktail made with vodka, coffee liqueur and cream.
Others, like Rothenberg, think a choco late martini is “much more fitting for the fall than it is for the middle of the summer. You definitely don’t want really heavy cream or coconut or anything that’ll weigh you down.”
Whiskey sours fit the bill too, Rothenberg added, with bourbon, a bite of citrus juice and a nice foamy egg white on top.

Attorney for Plaintiff September 21, 2022 Charleston, South Carolina
ARIES (March 21-April 19): When you Aries folks are at your best, you are drawn to people who tell you exactly what they think, who aren’t intimidated by your high energy, and who dare to be as vigorous as you. I hope you have an array of allies like that in your sphere right now. In my astrological opinion, you especially need their kind of stimulation. It’s an excellent time to invite influences that will nudge you out of your status quo and help you glide into a new groove. Are you willing to be challenged and changed?
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Author Toni Morrison thought that beauty was “an absolute necessity” and not “a privilege or an indulgence.” She said that “finding, incorporating and then representing beauty is what humans do.” In her view, we can’t live without beauty “any more than we can do with out dreams or oxygen.” All she said is even truer for Tauruses and Libras than the other signs. And you Bulls have an extra wrinkle: It’s optimal if at least some of the beauty in your life is useful. Your man date is summed up well by author Anne Michaels: “Find a way to make beauty necessary; find a way to make necessity beautiful.” I hope you’ll do a lot of that in the coming weeks.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Philosopher Alfred North Whitehead said, “It requires a very unusual mind to make an analysis of the obvious.” I nomi nate you to perform that service in the coming days, both for yourself and your allies. No one will be better able than you to discern the complexities of seemingly simple situations. You will also have extraordinary power to help people appreciate and even embrace paradox. So be a crafty master of candor and transparency, Gemini. Demonstrate the benefits of being loyal to the objective evidence rather than to the easy and popular delusions. Tell the interesting truths.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Cancerian poet Lucille Clifton sent us all an invitation: “Won’t you celebrate with me what I have shaped into a kind of life? i had no model. I made it up here on this bridge between starshine and clay, my one hand holding tight my other hand.” During October, fellow Cancerian, I propose you draw inspiration from her heroic efforts to create herself. The coming weeks will be a time when you can achieve small miracles as you bolster your roots, nourish your soulful confi dence, and ripen your uniqueness.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Dear Rob the Astrologer: This morning I put extra mousse on my hair and blow-dried the hell out of it, so now it is huge and curly and impossibly irresistible. I’m wearing bright orange shoes so everyone will stare at my feet, and a blue silk blouse that is much too high-fashion to wear to work. It has princess seams and matches my eyes. I look fantastic. How could anyone of any gender resist drinking in my magnificence? I realize you’re a spiritual type and may not approve of my showmanship, but I wanted you to know that what I’m doing is a totally valid way to be a Leo. —Your Leo teacher Brooke.” Dear Brooke: Thank you for your helpful instruction! It’s true that I periodically need to loosen my tight grip on my high principles. I must be more open to appreciating life’s raw feed. I hope you will perform a similar service for everyone you encounter in the coming weeks.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): How to be the best Virgo you can be during the coming weeks: 1. You must relish, not apologize for, your precise obses sions. 2. Be as nosy as you need to be to discover the core truths hidden beneath the surface. Risk asking almost too many questions in your subtle drive to know everything. 3. Help loved ones and allies shrink and heal their insecurities. 4. Generate beauty and truth through your skill at knowing what needs to be purged and shed. 5. Always have your Bullshit Detector with you. Use it liberally. 6. Keep in close touch with the conversations between your mind and body.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The Libran approach to fighting for what’s right shouldn’t involve getting into loud arguments or trying to manipulate people into seeing things your way. If you’re doing what you were born to do, you rely on gentler styles of persua
By Rob Brezsny
sion. Are you doing what you were born to do? Have you become skilled at using clear, elegant language to say what you mean? Do you work in behalf of the best outcome rather than merely serving your ego? Do you try to understand why others feel the way they do, even if you disagree with their conclusions? I hope you call on these superpowers in the coming weeks. We all need you to be at the height of your potency.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “One bad apple spoils the rest” is an idiom in the English language. It refers to the idea that if one apple rots as it rests in a pile of apples, the rest will quickly rot, too. It’s based on a scientific fact. As an apple decays, it emanates the gas ethylene, which speeds up decay in nearby apples. A variant of this idiom has recently evolved in relation to police misconduct, however. When law enforcement officials respond to such allegations, they say that a few “bad apples” in the police force aren’t representative of all the other cops. So I’m wondering which side of the metaphor is at work for you right now, Scorpio. Should you immediately expunge the bad apple in your life? Or should you critique and tolerate it? Should you worry about the possibility of contamination, or can you successfully enforce damage control? Only you know the correct answer.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Of all the signs in the zodiac, you Sagittarians know best how to have fun even when life sucks. Your daily rhythm may temporarily become a tangle of boring or annoy ing tasks, yet you can still summon a knack for enjoying yourself. But let me ask you this: How are your instincts for drumming up amusement when life doesn’t suck? Are you as talented at whipping up glee and inspiration when the daily rhythm is smooth and groovy? I suspect we will gather evidence to answer those questions in the coming weeks. Here’s my prediction: The good times will spur you to new heights of creating even more good times.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): More than you might realize, people look to you for leadership and regard you as a role model. This will be extra true in the coming weeks. Your statements and actions will have an even bigger impact than usual. Your influence will ripple out far beyond your sphere. In light of these developments, which may sometimes be subtle, I encourage you to upgrade your sense of responsibility. Make sure your integrity is impec cable. Another piece of advice, too: Be an inspiring example to people without making them feel like they owe you anything.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Rapper-songwriter Nicki Minaj says, “You should never feel afraid to become a piece of art. It’s exhilarating.” I will go further, Aquarius. I invite you to summon ingenu ity and joy in your efforts to be a work of art. The coming weeks will be an ideal time for you to tease out more of your inner beauty so that more people can benefit from it. I hope you will be dramatic and expressive about showing the world the full array of your interesting qualities. PS: Please call on the entertainment value of surprise and unpredictability.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Author Robertson Davies declared, “One learns one’s mystery at the price of one’s innocence.” It sounds poetic, but it doesn’t apply to most of you Pisceans — especially now. Here’s what I’ve concluded: The more you learn your mystery, the more innocent you become. Please note I’m using the word “innocence” in the sense defined by author Clarissa Pinkola Estés. She wrote: “Ignorance is not knowing anything and being attracted to the good. Innocence is knowing every thing and still being attracted to the good.”

Mr. Joe A. Sanders was born on March 18, 1946, to the late Culey Sanders Sr. and late Martha Ruth Dingle, in Cross, South Carolina. He transitioned on the morning of Sept. 23, 2022, at the University of Maryland Capital Region Medical Center, Largo, Maryland, due to various medical challenges encumbered over the past eight months.
Joe A. Sanders was raised in Cross, South Carolina, and attended Central Elementary and Central High School where his area of concentration was vocational education. He was a graduate of the high school Class of 1965. Joe was always eager to learn and contribute. Joe was much admired and appreciated for his energy and enthusiasm throughout the community — a tribute to his late parents and close relatives.
Joe was married to the late Mary Williams and to that union was blessed with three sons — Gregory Sanders
(Margie), Gerald Sanders and Brian Sanders (deceased).
On August 1, 2003, Joe married Jennie Jones and their union was blessed and highly favored with many friends, relatives and many special memories for 19 years.
Joe was the oldest of six siblings — Leroy Sanders (deceased), Loretta Brown (Joe (deceased), Alvin Sanders (Francella), Culey Sanders Jr., Donald Sanders (Ann), and Clayton Sanders; grandchildren: Denia, Kyle, Gregory Jr., Kevin (Jordan) and Elton; three great grandchildren; three godchil dren: Crystal Mays, Kendra Brown and Ashton Murphy; and a host of nephews, nieces, other relatives and special friends.
Joe joined the Bethesda Baptist Church in 1968. He placed the cornerstone for the church. He served as a committed trustee and sang with the Male Chorus and Fellowship Choir. He enjoyed attending Sunday School. Joe thoroughly enjoyed working around the church and using his
God-given skills, talents and knowledge to address the needs of the church. He had a passion for taking photos of church activi ties and photography at large.
Joe’s life is one of an authentic servantleader. His enormous passion for God, family and community was relentless and far-reaching. Joe was a contributor and supporter of his hometown community. Over the years, Joe contributed to various organizations and activities within the Cross community — the Jehovah A.M.E. Church, the F&AM Masonic Order/ Lodge, the Cross Community Center and a contributing founder of the Charleston Black History Museum in Charleston. He enjoyed hosting annual family and friend gatherings both in the community and at his home. Joe was a loyal supporter of attending events for family members as well. He had a passion for taking care of the lawn and thoroughly enjoyed boating with his family, to include traveling and cruising. He loved inspiring and enter
taining children.
Joe was a businessman. He started his first business cutting hair as a teenager. The community families brought their chil dren to get haircuts. Adults came as well. He came to Washington D.C. in 1967 as a bricklayer. He worked for other companies until he acquired the necessary resources to start his own business, Sanders Masonry Inc. The business has been flourishing for 47 years now. He gave many working opportunities to his family members, friends and acquaintances. He held strong work ethics and a sense of fairness. He received several small business awards from Prince George’s County, Maryland. The company is an accredited minority-owned Business. His legacy will live on!

From the opening notes of Sun Showers, the first full-length effort from the rap idly evolving indie-everything troupe Homemade Haircuts, there’s an unmistak able statement of creative intent.
Throttling guitar chords and a dynamic drum fill set the stage for rippling melodic lead guitar lines and reverb-drenched sun-kissed vocals that yank the laid-back bedroom pop of the group’s previous efforts into the rock show.
It’s perhaps not even fair to compare what Homemade Haircuts sounds like now from their earlier efforts, which were largely the product of what frontmen Bob Magee and Evan Delp admit was just them learning how to be a band while they were undergraduates at the University of South Carolina in Columbia.
Neither Delp nor Magee had ever seri ously played music in a band before, bonding over a shared love of big, boisterous 2010s alt-rock groups with strong pop sensibilities like Cage the Elephant and The 1975. And there’s a certain casual, strum miness to those early songs, which can often feel more akin to early Alex G or Mac DeMarco if it weren’t for their pop sensibili ties, which were evident from the start.
“We weren’t really playing very many shows or anything. We were really just learning how to write songs,” Magee said. “And Evan, who mixes our music to this day, was [learning] music production. Homemade Haircuts was just kind of a
project for learning how to make music.”
Even given the casual nature of their approach, the duo found some early success on streaming services, particularly after a quirky Twitter interaction with YouTube influencer Jenna Marbles led to their song “Fairy Tale” getting more than a million Spotify streams and popping up on a few of its algorithmic playlists. Their approach, with layered, dreamy vocals atop winding-yet-infectious melodies, clearly worked.
With the songs on the new album, though, the duo enlisted drummer and bassist Blake Hunter (Bellavida, Bull Moose Party) to fill out the sound just as they were ramping up their live performances. Hunter, a young-yet-seasoned vet in the Columbia music scene who teaches both guitar and drums for Freeway Music, also brought some music theory acumen and chops to the group. The result is a record that compares more readily to their selfdescribed influences, as well as local indie rock heroes like Band of Horses or Susto.
“I don’t think it was a coincidence that this album was formed also during the period that we were starting to play shows,” Magee said. “I think we realized the kind of music that we wanted to be playing for audiences and the energy that we wanted to bring to the shows.”
Delp added, “When we were starting out in college, drum programming was the best tool we had. I think we realized the limita tions of that, in a sense. I really feel like the depth and variety of our sound [expanded]
because we opened up with [Hunter], and he had a unique perspective.
“I think that made it a bit more broadly ‘rock’ than we would have made it on our own,” Delp added, “but that’s the beauty of the collaborative process, getting in a room and seeing how great it feels when you’re listening back and things changing in really beautiful ways that we couldn’t do on our own.”
While the band produced the LP, there’s clearly a lot of polish and poise that wasn’t as readily apparent in its antecedents. By building on the charms of those early bed room pop efforts while consciously reaching for room-filling energy, the band, now relo cated to Charleston, is ready to see how far their music can go.
Hunter names Charleston outfits like Susto and Brave Baby as early inspira tions for the possibilities of his playing, and local drummer and producer Wolfgang Zimmerman as a big drumming influence.
“I just remembered being enamored with them when I first stayed playing music, when I realized that these bands were in the same state as me, just two hours down the road [from Columbia],” he said. “I thought they were amazing.”
Magee echoes that sentiment, noting that “since we met Blake and felt like we became a band, being from South Carolina has been really important to us.”
“Just doing this in South Carolina has definitely colored our experience and all of our influences. We’re happy to be a South Carolina band.”

Downtown breakfast joint Holey City Bagels opened in July on the corner of Cannon and Coming streets serving hand-rolled and water-boiled bagels. The family operation has been slinging bagel sandwiches, breakfast-curated beers and espresso ever since, with favorites like a pastrami reuben and ham-egg-cheese sandwiches. Owner Greg Odachowski launched the business after sellings his bagels at Charleston Farmers Market in Marion Square since 2017. Lately this bagel spot has been playing the Motown Station on Pandora in the dining room, Odachowski said. Holey City Bagel bakers gave City Paper their top five songs they play in the wee hours of the morning:
“Fireball” by Pitbull
“Cuff it” by Beyonce
“Ladders” by Mac Miller
“Doses and Mimosas” by Cherub
“Hey Ya” by Outkast
Bonus Track: “Hypnotize” by The Notorious B.I.G.
Perhaps the most surprising thing about “Castle Made Of Mirrors,” the new single by Charleston singer-songwriter Kit Mikell, is that it exists at all.
The song, which mixes a seductive elec tronic dance rhythm with classical violin and a guest rap from Indi’Gxld, comes after a long writing dry spell for Mikell.
In fact, she’s arguably better known as an event planner than a musician, having produced the Freak Show Charleston web series and Rap Fest.
After years of songwriting and vocal training, Mikell found herself at a creative dead end at the age of only 19.
“I had been a songwriter my whole life,” Mikell said. “Starting in like second grade, or even younger.
And I ended up getting writer’s block. And so from 19 [years old] for many years, I will say about 15 years, I had writer’s block. And I was not able to write at all.”
Then last summer, Mikell said she lost two people very close to her and the creative floodgates opened.
She’s put out two singles in the last couple of months, both of which blend electronic beats and rich synth beds with her Kate Bush-style vocals.
In fact, “Castle Made Of Mirrors” is so appealing and danceable on the surface that one might miss its message.
“The song is about basically the life you create for yourself,” Mikell said, “and it’s about when you have a longing for someone that is not in your life and reflecting on every circumstance that brought you to build your castle. It’s about taking a moment to realize you have the power to change anything at any moment. And then I started to think about kings and queens and their choice to rule and the responsi

bility and the weight of how that must feel.”
The song actually began as a poem, which she shared with her producer Dblcrwn. With the exception of the violin played by Constanza Kratsman and local artist Indi’Gxld’s rap verse, every sound you hear on the single was created by Dblcrwn and Mikell.
“I love that you can feel it in your body,” she said of the song’s electronic pulse. “You can feel the bass, you can feel the journey of the song, and it gives you more of a chance to go through an entire journey.
We wanted it to be a fusion of classical, hip-hop, pop and dance and so many dif ferent things.”
You can expect more songs from Mikell in the near future. After years of writer’s blocked, she can’t stop writing.
“I’m just writing all I can,” she said. “This was a cathartic passion project for me.”
