Former West Ashley Piggly Wiggly site becomes political volleyball

By Skyler Baldwin

Charleston City Council member Peter Shahid ran for council on a platform heavily built on redeveloping areas of West Ashley like the former Piggly Wiggly site at the corner of Sam Rittenberg Boulevard and Old Towne Road. Now he’s running for mayor, and he says the lack of advancement on the project is a big reason why.

“There’s only so much I can do on city council, but the current administration is not pushing this to my satisfaction nor to the satisfaction of the people of West Ashley,” he said. “This should be a priority. … There should be dirt kicked up on Sumar Street already.”

Some put the responsibility back on Shahid, however.

“As chairman of the West Ashley revitalization Commission since 2016, Peter Shahid has had as much to do with the planning and timing of this project as any other single individual in city government,”

City of Charleston awarded $10M for downtown pump station

The city of Charleston this month announced it received $10 million to help pay for the second and final phase of a pump station project to curb flooding woes on the upper part of the peninsula.

“When complete, this drainage project will make a real difference for our citizens,” Charleston Mayor John Tecklenburg said in a statement. “I want to thank the state for providing the critical support we need to get construction underway.”

The South Carolina Infrastructure and Economic Development Fund’s grant will go directly to the continued work on the King/Huger Street Drainage Project. The second phase involves installing a pump station to take the water from the newly improved collection system and pump it into the Ashley River through Newmarket Creek — about 70,000 gallons per minute to be exact. The added installation of a backup generator will ensure the pump station can continue operating during severe storm events that cause power outages. —

said Jennifer Mieras, campaign spokesman for Charleston Mayor John Tecklenburg.

The city purchased the 2.5-acre space in 2017 with high hopes for a redevelopment plan that offered West Ashley residents an iconic and premier community center at which to gather for events, meetings and more.

“West Ashley is entitled to have something nice, but we don’t need to be spending $45 million for the sake of spending $45 million,” Shahid said at a public meeting on April 28. “If we can do something that accomplishes the goal for less than half of that, we should.”

Back to the drawing board

The developer for the site, Landmark Enterprises, was given a 60-day extension after the city council voted April 11 to reject its initial proposal. Shahid said he and other council members were concerned that Landmark’s design was too far off the original idea proposed years ago — and came with a $45 million price tag.

The original plan was to redevelop the vacant lot into a surface-level parking lot, a large civic center and a handful of commercial buildings for restaurants, stores and other businesses. Landmark’s

design instead incorporated a strip mall along Sam Rittenberg Boulevard, several city offices and a below-ground parking garage to make room for the additional buildings. It did, however, keep the idea of a large civic center.

“[Our initial proposal] does not require a garage,” Shahid said. “You’ve got zoning requirements as to, ‘X number of square feet requires X number of parking spaces.’ In order to satisfy the extra required spaces for this many buildings, you had to come up with a garage. … To build this garage is $85,000 per space.”

Screening program at jail helps identify 20 human trafficking victims

By Chelsea Grinstead

Human trafficking is not an issue that happens just in movies or foreign countries — it happens right here in Charleston County.

“Human trafficking is an international problem solved at a local level,” said Lauren Knapp of Johns Island, cofounder and co-chair of the Tri-County Human Trafficking Task Force (HTTF).

The Tri-County HTTF has operated an interview-based screening process through the Al Cannon Detention Center since April 2021 to help identify potential victims of human trafficking who have been detained for various offenses, said Brooke Burris of Mount Pleasant, co-founder and co-chair of the Tri-County HTTF.

The goal is to assess the prevalence of human trafficking in the tri-county area and prevent victims from being treated as offenders, she said. Traffickers often will threaten or force their victims to commit crimes as a control mechanism to make the victim believe they have no one to turn to for help.

The HTTF research and data subcommittee, led by The Citadel’s Dr. Leslie Hill and Dr. M. Kristen Hefner, formulated the tool to identify potential victims of both labor and sex trafficking in partnership with co-chairs Burris and Knapp and The Formation Project, a local nonprofit. Over two years ending in April, the screening tool helped to identify 20 vic-

tims of human trafficking, according to a Tri-County HTTF report prepared for the Charleston City Paper. The screening process first flagged 195 individuals. Then the Formation Project conducted 41 supplemental interviews. Overall, 49% of the individuals interviewed were confirmed victims of human trafficking.

“The goal right now is to validate the tool,” Knapp said. “[Once we] have enough data to validate the tool, [it] then can be replicated in other facilities — that is our hope.”

Identifying victims

There are key aspects that define human trafficking, Burris said. Human trafficking is work or sex acts exchanged for something of value and the situation is brought on due to force, fraud or coercion.

The human trafficking screening tool uses seven questions designed to flag possible victims. Once they are flagged, the Formation Project confirms victimization and helps determine eligible resources.

“We are survivor-founded and survivor-led, meaning we elevate survivor voices in all that we do,” said Mattie Critchfield Dodds, Formation Project program director. “We provide emergency shelter, comprehensive case management, operate a transitional home and provide the structure for a supportive peer community of survivors.”

The Tri-County HTTF is a comprehensive organization with nine subcommittees for adult services, child services, health care, law enforcement, legal innovations, prevention and education, research and data, survivor advisory and refugee services. To report suspicions of

human trafficking and find resources, visit TriCountyHTTF.org.

“The Tri-County Human Trafficking Task Force was established in 2018 and is the official regional task force in our area named by the S.C. Attorney General,” Burris said. “The task force was created to connect and coordinate different agencies combating human trafficking in the Tri-County area so we can better serve survivors.”

Trafficking misconceptions, examples

“The media has often perpetuated the narrative that human trafficking looks like a young woman being kidnapped by a stranger, held against her will and trafficked in foreign countries,” Dodds said. “While this may occur sometimes, it is not what the majority of these stories look like.

“It’s important that our community educates themselves on what human trafficking is and isn’t,” she said. “This way we can better identify the issue and thereby help survivors find safety and freedom.”

Human trafficking happens to males and females of all ages, she said, and it does not always mean someone is restrained against their will. Mental manipulation is very powerful, and traffickers use it to their advantage. The majority of human traffickers are not strangers. Many survivors are trafficked by people they know personally.

It’s important to distinguish that minors cannot consent to commercial sex and labor, Dodds said, and so force, fraud or coercion do not have to be present for the situation to be considered trafficking of a minor.

Victims may not realize they’re a victim because they see the situation as a business agreement, Burris said. “Coercion is oftentimes threats and mental manipulation … So the trafficker is telling them, ‘You’re a criminal. You’re

Charleston County’s school superintendent is recommending a more-than 10% pay increase so all teachers starting at Charleston County School District would earn at least $50,000.

“I have been listening to teachers since I’ve been back in the district, since 2018,” Charleston County Superintendent Don Kennedy said at a May 2 press conference. “When I came back here in 2018 as [chief financial officer] and started working on the budget for fiscal year 2019, I began to look at the financial realities and what we could do and … developed a three-year plan to increase teacher salaries from $36,000 to $40,000. Obviously, that is not enough to support our teachers in this expensive place called Charleston.”

Under the district’s current pay scale, a teacher with a bachelor’s degree would need 22 years of experience to afford a home in Charleston County, according to a March 13 presentation by the Charleston County School District (CCSD) teacher pay task force.

Kennedy’s proposal follows similar measures in school districts across the Lowcountry to help bolster teacher recruitment and retention.

“This is definitely designed to recruit and retain teachers,” he said. “It’s not just for across-the-board. This is a step on an incremental approach. We recognize recruiting is a big problem, so the teacher salary schedule we propose is heavy in the first four years to entice people to come into the teaching profession. It becomes heavy also in the middle part of a teacher’s career to entice them to remain in the profession.”

Kennedy said the district has a clear path to attain that goal. Relying on state revenue, reductions in other expenditures in the district and through a local millage increase in county taxes. Kennedy specifically recommended county leaders pass a local 7.1 millage increase. The county passed a 6.3 millage increase last year.

The proposed bump would increase the taxes paid on rental and non-primary homes, commercial property and vehicles. For a home valued at $435,000, taxpayers would pay an additional $185.31 per year, which is about $15.40 per month. Altogether, the increase would bring in an additional $23.1 million.

Commencement season starts for Charleston-area colleges

By staff reports

With the pandemic days of cyber-graduation behind them, Charleston-based college graduates can see their fellow students shining in all their glory in-person this year as they step into the next phase of life.

Whether the soon-to-be-graduate is from College of Charleston, Medical University of South Carolina, The Citadel, Charleston Southern University, Trident Technical College or Charleston School of Law — the Charleston City Paper has you covered for what’s happening with commencement ceremonies.

“The College of Charleston’s class of 2023 enters a world very much in a state of flux. However, our graduates are ready for it,” said Andrew Hsu, College of Charleston president. “In fact, they’ve been doing it for years now, finding success inside and outside of the classroom as well as meeting the challenges of our academically rigorous curriculum.

“During a time of change, our students know better than most that there is also great opportunity. Our entire campus community is excited to see what they will achieve.”

a prostitute. You decided to do this on your own. You’re doing this to feed your own drug habit.’ When actually, the trafficker got them hooked on drugs … [Victims] are trained to think it’s their fault.”

Often coercion can be debt bondage, where the victim can’t possibly work off the living expenses, Burris said. Or the trafficker tells the victim their visa is only for a specific occupation and if they quit, law enforcement will arrest them.

Burris and Knapp gave a few examples of cases they have come across in South Carolina, including a couple from Columbia who took jobs in construction, and their employer had control of their identification, transportation and housing. Another alleged case involved a mother keeping her children out of school to clean a movie theater in Dorchester County.

“With social media, [human trafficking] is so much easier,” Burris said. “You can

groom and access so many potential victims. Then you can communicate and market with a really wide audience. Our culture is rife with [trafficking] to be happening, and it is happening very casually and consistently.

“Humans have innate, intrinsic value and dignity, and the lie of human trafficking is that they don’t. That lie gets so ingrained in their head that they begin to believe it. [We are] fighting against that lie.”

Resources

Identifying victims is only the first step, Burris said. Providing an adequate response, which includes comprehensive care and connection to resources, is the next step.

The Formation Project has been offering individualized services for human trafficking victims since 2020, Dodds said. Case workers connect survivors to trusted community partners. “We offer a safe space for survivors to receive trauma-informed services,” she said.

alone, however, brings $31 million in new expenses. Combined with other additional expenses including increased retirement benefits, higher salaries for data clerks, paid parental leave and charter school funding, expanded learning services, hiring additional employees and more — new expenditures total about $73 million.

“There’s lots and lots of numbers,” Kennedy said. “There are realities we have to deal with. We have certain expenditures — teacher salaries is an example — the taxpayers have to be sensitive to. We want to make sure we’re representing both taxpayers and our teachers with what the school board has to deliberate on.”

The district is making several cuts and reductions in the budget to make up the difference, Kennedy said. The district is getting rid of $8 million in “departmental positions,” which have been vacant. A hiring freeze levied in April will save the district about $2.7 million. The rest will come from a combination of drawing from the fund balance from last year, essentially the district’s emergency fund account.

Blotter of the Week

“Human trafficking is a criminal enterprise that occurs in every community in the country,” Dodds said. “No county is untouched. Most of the survivors we work with were born and raised here and trafficked here.”

The nonprofit’s goal is to build a resilient community, free from exploitation.

“We believe that survivors are the experts in their recovery,” she said, “and we want them to have the platform to help their peers heal.”

Let’s get it over with Charleston police on April 20 engaged a driver near the Citadel Mall in West Ashley for an improper lane change, expired decal and expired vehicle tags. According to reports, the man pulled over long before the officer’s cruiser approached him, as the driver figured he was going to be stopped anyway. He was right.

Resourceful, but also criminal

A Mount Pleasant man apparently has nearly all the makings of a personal workshop thanks to bits and pieces stolen from Home Depot. According to reports, he has stolen welding machines, Dyson vacuums and several tool sets. In fact, police say he’s been brazen about the thefts, returning to the same store seven times. Police noted he covers his face to avoid detection and drives a beat-up maroon Chevy Suburban. Guess what the ongoing BOLO is for?

The jump in development costs with the garage in place gave several council members pause, Shahid said.

“The extension granted to Landmark is to say, ‘Get rid of the underground garage. Get rid of the offices for the city … and come up with something that looks more familiar [to the original design].”

Traffic woes cause for concern

The converging corridors on either side of the lot also continue to give pause to developers and residents. Often called the “suicide merge,” the zipper merge of Sam Rittenberg Boulevard and Old Towne Road has been an ongoing discussion for redevelopment for years.

The current plan is to tackle the traffic and safety at the merge indirectly by looking at neighboring intersections at Charlestowne Drive and Old Towne Road, and Amberly Street and Sam Rittenberg Boulevard.

“The changes are, in a broad sense, designed to provide other options besides vehicles,” Shahid said. “There’s a cutthrough on Orange Grove Road to Sam Rittenberg … that strip there is going to become a pedestrian bike path. On

Amberly, we’re adding a stop light, and that will be a huge improvement.”

At the large intersection of Orange Grove Road and Sam Rittenberg Boulevard, plans are tentative. The corridor is heavily traveled, with most traffic turning left from Orange Grove onto Sam Rittenberg to head to the bridge and the arterial Interstate 26. Shahid said there have been talks about improving the turn by adding an additional

left-hand turning lane.

Further north, talks about a pedestrian bridge connecting North Charleston and West Ashley at Cosgrove Avenue continue.

“That’s going to be our Ravenel Bridge of West Ashley,” Shahid said. “It’s going to be elevated … it will be a utility for people … but also an amenity for us. ... I think it’s going to complement what we have planned for all of this.”

rom the hard-to-believe department: There are more deaths from guns in South Carolina (population 5.2 million) than in the entire state of New York (19.8 million residents). In 2021, for example, South Carolina had the nation’s 11th highest firearm mortality rate (1,136 deaths) compared to New York (1,078 deaths), which had the nation’s fourth lowest rate, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Yes, all of this shooting has become an out-of-control disease. Lawmakers in South Carolina need to emulate places like Massachusetts, Hawaii, New York and New Jersey to create tougher gun laws so there are fewer deaths and illegal guns on the streets. It just doesn’t need to be so easy to get guns.

Note: The title of this editorial is not “get rid of guns.” It calls for getting them under control. Guns are legal in South Carolina and will remain so. But if we don’t treat the disease, we’ll have more shootings and deaths.

Like the one in Columbia over the weekend when somebody sprayed bullets at an after-prom flash party. Eleven people were hurt, including nine who were shot. Thank goodness no one died.

Or last month on Isle of Palms when somebody shot and wounded five people on Isle of Palms as students partied during a senior skip day. Or the Sunday in October when 10 people — 10 — died in three shootings in Spartanburg, Richland and Horry counties. Or on Easter weekend last year when 18 people were shot in two South Carolina mass shootings. Fortunately, no one died.

All of this needless shooting and death has got to stop.

A March spotlight on gun violence by the City Paper showed there was an average of three shootings per day in Charleston

County in November 2022. And while enhanced community policing here has led shootings and gun deaths to drop slightly recently, it is not acceptable in a civilized county for there to be 167 shootings in 2022 in Charleston (a 23% drop over 2020) or 377 incidents of aggravated assaults with firearms in North Charleston in 2022 (a 24.8% drop from 2021).

More needs to be done:

• Local law enforcement must expand efforts to get dangerous guns and the criminals who flaunt them off the streets.

• State lawmakers need to stop flirting with permitless carry, which will make streets more dangerous. They need tougher registration laws. And they need to enact bond reform to stop a revolving door of violence.

• Citizens need to do a better job by locking cars so it’s not easy to steal guns. Or better: Don’t keep guns in cars at all. Additionally, they need to get more education on how to handle guns and more training at ranges to know how to use them safely.

In an effort to provide more education to everyone, the City Paper last week began a weekly Gun Violence Counter, which will list the number of shootings and gun deaths reported by local law enforcement and in media statewide. It’s not intended to be a comprehensive list, but rather an indicator of the problem South Carolina has with guns.

For the week ending May 2, for example, six people died from gun violence in South Carolina and 21 others were shot. The previous week: five deaths and seven others shot. Wake up, South Carolina. Get gun violence under control.

On dysfunction, for what it’s worth

By Andy Brack

An old Buffalo Springfield song popped up on the radio the other day and its lyrics seem fresh in light of continued dysfunction in governing at the state and national levels.

There’s something happening here | But what it is ain’t exactly clear There’s a man with a gun over there | Telling me I got to beware

In Washington, there’s dysfunction related to the debt ceiling, abortion, guns, the Jan. 6 overthrow attempt, the Supreme Court’s ethics and continuing battles between the House and Senate.

In South Carolina, there are continuing culture wars over — guess what — abortion, guns, court reform and battles between ideologies.

Leaders are talking at each other, not to each other. They’re talking to their tribes, not working to bring everybody together.

There’s battle lines being drawn | Nobody’s right if everybody’s wrong

Young people speaking their minds | Getting so much resistance from behind

Compromise seems to be a 10-letter dirty word. Avoidance of real discussion seems to be a leading political behavior.

South Carolina Republicans have run state government for 20 years. Despite boatloads of tax money in recent years, look what we’ve still got: an education system stuck at the bottom, a health care system that is clunky and unhelpful to many, crowded prisons that are unsafe for guards, gerrymandered voting districts that exacerbate unfair elections, too many guns on the street leading to too many deadly shootings, and persisting poverty that hasn’t truly been addressed in at least two generations.

Imagine how politicians might be forced to deal with issues if they started answering and discussing tough questions, instead of avoiding them out of some odd sense of noblesse oblige, politeness, awkwardness, fear of losing power or fear of losing relevance.

Paranoia strikes deep | Into your life it will creep

It starts when you’re always afraid | Step out of line, the men come and take you away

So here are some tough questions, for those leading South Carolina: Democracy. What are you actively doing to protect and defend our democracy and make it stronger as too many people, domestic and foreign, seem to be trying to destroy it?

Poverty. What active steps are you taking now to end persisting poverty? And don’t just say “creating opportunity” or “creating jobs.” Skill levels and schools have to be improved radically, not incrementally. Better health care has to be widely available.

Abortion. White male Republicans: When will you get over the obsession with abortion? Two-thirds of Americans want abortion options. You haven’t built a majority on the issue since the Roe decision came down 50 years ago. Can’t we move on beyond culture wars and act like other developed countries?

To be clear: It’s not just Republicans who are culpable for the mess that our state and country is in. Democrats, particularly at the state level, haven’t won any awards for stellar leadership to try to get the country out of its current miasma.

Regardless of whether you like Joe Biden as president, he seems to be one of the few leaders we have with his head screwed on straight about how the country needs to pull together to stay strong. Perhaps we should listen to him as a veteran leader, not just as a Democrat. From this week’s announcement that he’s running for reelection at age 80: “The question we are facing is whether in the years ahead we have more freedom or less freedom. More rights or fewer. I know what I want the answer to be, and I think you do, too. This is not a time to be complacent.”

The commandos of

FOLLY BEACH

By E.C. Waldron

ine months after the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, the headline news in Charleston was about Nazi forces in Europe and Japanese losses in Burma. Or about the controversial rationing of goods and a fear of empty shelves.

But what people in the Holy City didn’t know was that a German U-boat was laying explosive mines in Charleston Harbor hoping to blow up military or commercial ships. Along other parts of the East Coast, the Germans landed saboteurs to infiltrate the United States. But most were caught, and some were executed.

The threat to the Lowcountry coast soon surfaced, leading the U.S. Coast Guard to launch a mounted patrol to watch for any water-borne threats.

Folly Beach’s role in the war

Coast Guardsman Ed Stringer of Folly Beach usually rode his horse on Folly Beach with a submachine gun slung over his shoulder.

Stringer, who was trained at a special Hilton Head Island facility, had an assignment to patrol Folly Beach to look for suspicious people. In a declassified report “The Coast Guard at War,” the Beach Patrol had orders to question whoever landed on shore, and if a command to “halt” was ignored, the guardsman could fire a warning shot. If that didn’t work, he could shoot again to try to disable the person or a vehicle.

The Coast Guard Beach Patrol rode horses so they could travel faster and see better. In other regions, similar outfits used attack dogs to prevent German saboteurs and spies from getting into the United States. And they were also on the lookout for U-boats and domestic ships that were sunk or in trouble.

Soon after the Japanese attack at Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941, the U.S. Armed Forces realized the beaches and coastline on the mainland were at risk. Patrols were a nationwide effort, but the Lowcountry’s barrier islands in the 1940s were particularly vulnerable: isolated, swampy and hard to access by local vehicles.

The 6th District Beach Patrol, headquartered in Charleston, guarded the shoreline from southern North Carolina to northern Florida. The threat here was real — in May of 1942, the Coast Guard cutter Icarus sank the German sub U-352. It offloaded 33 survivors at the Charleston Navy Yard and marched them up the street under heavy guard.

Mines placed in Charleston Harbor

Just four months later, a U-455’s commander spent two days off Charleston’s coast laying mines to blow up ships. His logbook outlines how he had a good view at night.

“Charleston is recognized as a bright

glow on the horizon. ... On land, more and more lights have now come in sight, of which the most prominent are the streetlights of two [sic] high bridges over the Cooper River with their red-aircraft beacons. The grid work can be seen clearly.”

The U-boat went on to lay six mines in the harbor. There were no reports they did any damage.

The U-boat subs hunted U.S. military ships and commercial vessels hauling goods and supplies across the Atlantic. During the war, Germany built 1,162 U-boats, 785 of which were destroyed and 377 of which were surrendered or scuttled, according to the National Park Service. German U-boats destroyed about 3,000 Allied ships during the war with many casualties.

Learning

from people who were there

Local historian Gretchen StringerRobinson sat down to interview her father Ed about family and Folly Beach history, including his stint riding his horse “Sis” on four-hour shifts up and down the beach. Stringer-Robinson wrote a book on Folly Beach history and now lives on Wadmalaw Island.

“I asked him what it was like being in the Coast Guard on the beach. What’s funny is that mostly he said it was kind of drudgery,” Stringer-Robinson said, adding two guardsmen were always paired on a shift.

“They would ride for four hours each, from each end of the beach, and meet in the middle at Center Street. When their shift was done, they would go to McNally’s and put their submachine guns in the closet and go have a beer because they were off duty.” McNally’s was a bar located in the center of town.

The Stringer’s family lore tells of perhaps the most exciting personal thing that happened one day on Stringer’s patrol.

“The family story is that my mom was sunbathing with her friend and dad rode up with on his horse,” Stringer-Robinson said, “and you know, that was that, like VAVOOM! They had to be together!”

To this day, Stringer-Robinson says she doesn’t know if the tale is true, but Ed and Joy married in 1943, right before her dad was sent overseas.

Folly Beach Commandos

No doubt the servicemen on horseback were a hit on Folly Beach. A photo shows a group of seven guardsmen, including Stringer, beaming with smiles and swagger with “Folly Beach Commandos” scrawled at the bottom. Another shot shows one of the guardsmen standing on his saddle on top of his horse.

Each horse and dog had their own military “papers” and names of course. Stringer’s “Sis” was reddish brown and had a blaze on her face. In the Coast Guard history of the beach patrols, you can find a photo of a dog, “Poncho,” with special booties on his feet to protect from hot sand.

“The Coast Guard from the beginning had decided to call on man’s two great allies in the animal kingdom, the horse and the dog,” said one historical publication.

There was soon a magazine entitled Hoof Pounders, which covered the exploits of all the mounted beach patrols on the barrier islands from Daufuskie Island to Sullivan’s Island. There was a lot of bragging about the virtues of man’s best friends, and the publication was censored, only included drawings and no photos.

The editors ran public service ads — warning guardsmen about venereal disease. “Tut, tut … think nothing of it.” And a racy GI cartoon depicting a busty woman in lace

in front of a Christmas tree.

One recurring cartoon titled “The Wolf” depicted a man in uniform with a wolf’s head, usually leering at women in uniform. The female guardswoman tells her commander, “Your new orderly, Sir, his CO says he needs, er, overseas duty.”

seas to fight. Horses and dogs were sold or returned to owners.

After Folly Beach, Stringer served in the Coast Guard overseas on a supply ship. After the war, he returned to his wife Joy in Folly Beach. He went to law school and the couple raised seven children.

Ed’s family law practice, Stringer and Stringer, still sits on Folly Road, now run by his son, Rick, and Rick’s daughter, Liz. Gretchen Stringer-Robinson became a history professor.

“I was in my 20s when I sat down to interview Dad. I was young and probably didn’t ask all the questions I should have.”

But Stringer-Robinson collected all the photos she could find and donated them to the South Carolina Historical Society.

In grainy photos, Stringer smiles broadly. His horse Sis would soon no longer be needed. Stringer-Robinson remembers her Dad telling her Sis then had a new career as a racehorse.

In 1943, the U.S. started winning against the German U-boats and the focus of the war moved to Europe and the Pacific. The horse and dog patrols were discontinued and many of the men who served went over-

Stringer-Robinson said her father didn’t talk much about his overseas service. Like most veterans, he didn’t reminisce about the dangers he experienced. But he liked to joke about the good times, riding his horse with his buddies, keeping Folly Beach safe.

The family story is that my mom was sunbathing with her friend and dad rode up with on his horse and you know, that was that, like VAVOOM! They had to be together!”

Short film sheds light on mental health

By Chloe Hogan

Short film Vulnerable follows a young woman played by Caroline McGee as she struggles to figure out how to cope with unsettling news. The plot unfolds through phone conversations, as friends and family talk McGee’s character through emotional turmoil.

The film was created by a local cast and crew, many of whom are College of Charleston alumni, including the film’s writer and producer, Clare Wolf Behringer.

Behringer said she initially wrote the script in a moment of artistic catharsis.

“Right before the pandemic, I had been struggling harder than I had ever struggled with my mental health. I was driving home one day from work, and this is really intense, but I was just casually thinking about terminating my life. Suddenly, I had this moment of realizing how bad it was, and it scared the crap out of me.

“I started writing this script because I wanted to heal,” she said. “And one of the ways that I heal the best is through writing.”

She wasn’t seriously thinking of taking Vulnerable to the big screen, until one day while working on a show called Earth Odyssey with Dylan Dreyer, Behringer connected with Los Angeles-based filmmaker David Navarro about the script.

“So we’re talking about it, and he’s like, ‘Send me that script,’” Behringer. “What I didn’t tell him was that I hadn’t written the entire thing. So after three or four days of writing, rewriting and editing, I sent it to him and he said, ‘Great, when are we filming it?’

“He’s an award-winning cinematographer,” she added. “So for him to say, ‘When are we doing this? I’ll bring my camera. I’ll come do this in Charleston.’ It was a great kindness. That’s the metamorphosis of how this became what it is.”

Behringer and Navarro developed the script, and Navarro came on as director and editor. Behringer scouted locations, began work on production and casted the film with the help of longtime friend Whittington, who studied theater at the College of Charleston. McGee, will graduate from the same program this May.

difficult to shoot, especially in certain scenes, Behringer said, and so the team enlisted an on-set counselor.

Though the project started out as Behringer’s artistic representation of her own struggles, she said the entire cast and crew has input their stories and experiences with mental health into the film.

“The biggest inspiration was every single person who has put hands on this script, including our actors. Whether it’s through the way that they play a character, whether it’s through the way that they pass along edits …

“Collaboration is the most powerful tool of storytelling. Like, you can have all the talent in the world, but your perspective is nothing unless you’re open to others.”

Informed by personal experience

Just as the cast and crew brought their lived experiences into the film, so will the film’s viewers.

“I feel like everyone can relate to at least one piece of this film, whether you’re this character or that character,” Behringer said. “Almost everyone in the audience should be able to identify a piece of it that’s relatable.”

Behringer said the film’s message is two-fold.

“The first part is that you need to take accountability for where you’re at mentally. To seek help, to make sure that you’re fighting and to keep going, it’s hard, but you got this. I want to inspire people to keep fighting for their life and to make sure that they’re staying accountable for it.”

The other part of the film’s message,

Behringer said, is directed to the trusted person on the other side of the phone, “that person that you call when you’re in a crisis.

“To the person who’s trying to talk someone off a ledge, or be the emotional support. This film is also to tell that friend, hey, you’re doing a great job and you’re also not responsible, no matter what that person does or decides to do with their mental health crisis.”

The film celebrated a local premiere at the Sottile Theatre on May 4, followed by a Q&A with the cast and crew moderated by Chynna Chan. Following the premiere, Vulnerable will be on the festival track. Find out where the film will screen next by following @vulnerable_shortfilm on Instagram.

Garden & Gun seeks entries for annual Made in the South Awards

If you’ve got a cool South Carolina product, you might want to think of entering it in Garden & Gun’s annual Made in the South Awards contest, which is now open through June 20.

And if you’re a Charleston business, you might have a better than average chance of getting noticed by the national magazine published in the Holy City. In past contests, South Carolina has had 40 honorees — 23 of which were from the Charleston area, according to the magazine.

“It can be life-changing for a small business,” one Garden & Gun promoter said.

The magazine says it is seeking Southern artisan- or business-made product entries that fall under six categories, which include Home, Crafts, Food, Outdoors, Style and Drink. The chosen category winners and runners-up will be showcased in Garden & Gun’s upcoming December 2023/January 2024 issue.

Musical comedy The Book of Mormon comes to North Charleston PAC

By Kevin Murphy Wilson

The award-winning musical comedy The Book of Mormon written by Matt Stone and Trey Parker, the creators of South Park, takes to the stage this weekend in North Charleston.

The musical chronicles the misadventures of an awkwardly paired team of missionaries caught up in the business of taking the easily misconstrued message of Joseph Smith and Bringham Young to the inhabitants of a remote Ugandan village.

Actor Sean Casey Flannigan, who plays Elder McKinley, told the Charleston City Paper that while participating as a touring cast member of a highly in-demand show can be exhausting, he couldn’t imagine doing anything else with his life.

“So far, with The Book of Mormon, we’ve been lucky enough to not have too many one-nighters … but going to places I would have never known to go to before has been incredible.”

Flannigan said this particular opportunity was extremely serendipitous.

“When the auditions came out, I was in the process of coming off the road from

another gig, but I didn’t hesitate to submit myself for consideration because this is a dream come true. McKinley is definitely a sleeper role but is absolutely one of my favorites. I’ve been in love with The Book of Mormon as well as the soundtrack ever since I first became aware of it on Broadway.”

As much as he still loves the original Broadway version of The Book of Mormon, Flannigan said what he most appreciates about this touring experience is the opportunity to keep things fresh while out on the road.

“This show has been making the rounds for years, but our specific cast and crew is new to it as of last year. So, it’s the same script and same songs, but we’ve all been throwing a bit of ourselves into it and making it our own. What I am trying to say is that, even if you’ve seen The Book of Mormon before, this experience will be something different.”

The actress known simply as Berlande will be front and center this weekend alongside Flannigan, playing the coveted role of Nabulungi (the daughter of Mafala, and the love interest of Arnold Cunningham in the musical).

A seasoned professional, Berlande said she is excited both about taking on the character Nabulungi and having a little fun with religion, as she said she did while previously performing in the cast of a staged production of Sister Act.

“There’s always going to be someone who is offended,” Berlande told the City Paper. “But I have no doubt that any folks who walk in to see The Book of Mormon knowing this is a satire can keep an open heart and an open mind throughout and will walk out having enjoyed themselves.”

In the end, for Berlande at least, it is a more worthwhile endeavor knowing that her current company is taking a shot in the dark by presenting performances of The Book of Mormon all over the country, rather than staging it within the already bright-enough lights of New York City’s theater district.

“I am genuinely thrilled to have a hand in bringing this production out to audiences that might not otherwise have an opportunity to take it in.”

See The Book of Mormon at the North Charleston Performing Arts Center

“Even after 14 years of this program, the excitement around the G&G office is still palpable when we launch the Made in the South Awards,” said David DiBenedetto, senior vice president and editor-in-chief of the magazine. “We’re thrilled to see the talent of the artisans, makers, small business owners, and sustainability trailblazers from the region and honored to shine a spotlight on it.”

The contest’s overall winner will get a $10,000 cash prize and prominent billing in the magazine’s awards issue alongside the other winning entries.

Additionally, for the second year in a row, the Made in the South Awards program will also feature a Sustainability Award. The honor will be awarded to an artist or innovator that exemplifies responsible production, conservation awareness and locally driven production, according to a release.

Garden & Gun started the Made in the South Awards in 2010. The magazine says it created the awards to celebrate and encourage Southern craftsmanship, as well as to recognize the best Southern-made products on the market.

Among the judges this year are two Charleston-area residents.

Stephanie Summerson Hall of Summerville will judge the award’s Home category. A former corporate tax lawyer, the Holly Hill native officially founded Estelle Colored Glass in 2019.

Jason Stanhope, the James Beard Award–winning executive chef at FIG in Charleston, will co-judge the food category with Joe Kwon, the cellist for the Grammynominated Avett Brothers. —Staff reports

In the kitchen with chef Raul Sanchez

By Chloe Hogan

Chef Raul Sanchez of Maya del Sol Kitchen in North Charleston takes his culinary inspirations from his family and their shared love of cooking traditional Mexican cuisine.

“I’ve been cooking all my life, and I was raised by two parents who are both chefs,” Sanchez said. “When I get a brain freeze, I call my mom. And she will mention something like, ‘Have you served tamales this way? Have you made pasta this way, or have you made pork this way?’ And then my wheels start turning, and talking with her — it just opens up new doors to better ideas.

“So the inspiration really does come from family — what I cook is food that I grew up eating.”

In 2020, Sanchez opened Maya del Sol Kitchen on Reynolds Avenue, where he offers multi-course chef’s table dinners Thursday through Saturday and lunch Wednesday through Friday. Sanchez said the menu changes daily or weekly to reflect seasonal ingredients. Dinner reservations are required, but the menu remains a surprise until your arrival.

Maya del Sol isn’t Sanchez’s first solo venture — he opened Raul’s Taqueria and Mexican Grill in 2011 at Rivers Avenue and Remount Road. One year later, he moved into Park Circle with a restaurant called Raul’s Maya del Sol, which closed in 2016. From those experiences, Sanchez grew a following, especially in North Charleston, and opened the current Maya del Sol Kitchen.

He initially offered only the chef’s table experience, but started receiving requests from his old customers who missed lunch items from his previous restaurants. So in 2021, he started offering lunch, no reservations required, serving customer favorites like tacos, enchiladas, carne en su jugo, Mexican fried chicken and more.

But what Sanchez really wanted to focus on with his new restaurant was the chef’s table experience, he said, which is a fivecourse authentic Mexican meal.

“It’s a different menu either every day or every week, depending on what I find. It could be a taco, could have an enchilada, could have a guisado, could have a pozole, could have a mole plate. The possibilities are endless.”

Sanchez also previously worked at R Kitchen, which operates with a similar chef’s table approach with rotating chefs. Unlike R Kitchen, though, Sanchez said he does not cater to dietary preferences or restrictions, with the exception of allergies.

“We ask the customers if they have nut or seafood allergies, and then the rest is up to us. When you start taking a list of likes and dislikes from people, it’s no longer a chef’s table meal anymore.”

Sanchez said the “biggest compliment” he receives from chef’s table guests is that he’s pushed them into trying something they might not have tried otherwise.

“People who know my food and come in for the chef’s table will say, ‘If I would have seen that on the menu, you know, like pork in the

way that you served it, I would have never ordered it. But with the chef’s table experience, you’re making me try new things.’”

He said his restaurant-goers are often pleasantly surprised, not only by the delicious flavors of Sanchez’s food, but also by the diverse offerings of Mexican cuisine.

“Sometimes we’ll make Mexican-style macaroni and cheese. The cheese is infused with tomato sauce, peppers and spices. That takes it to a whole new level. And customers are like, ‘I would have never thought Mexico would make macaroni and cheese, but this is the best I’ve ever had.’”

“The inspiration really does come from family — what I cook is food that I grew up eating.”

Weltons Tiny Bakeshop is doing big things

By Abby Tierney

On most weekend mornings, a line forms outside a pint-sized building, snaking down a quiet block of upper King Street. The uninitiated may wonder what draws such an eager crowd, but those in the know will gladly join the queue. At Welton’s Tiny Bakeshop, the brainchild of Charleston chefs Hannah and Zachary Welton, the wait hardly compares to the delights found inside.

Both trained chefs, the bakery owners met while working at Husk in 2015, during the time Sean Brock helmed the kitchen. In the following years, their culinary partnership has been a nomadic one, including restaurant gigs in Hannah’s hometown of Houston, Texas, and Zachary’s native New York, as well as a two-year stint at Tulum’s famous Hartwood, an off-the-grid restaurant known for its woodfired cuisine.

By the time they returned to Charleston in 2021, the Weltons were ready for a more permanent change. “The industry can be a damaging place,” Hannah said. “We kept thinking, there has to be a better way to nourish others.”

Their first business plan hinged on a roving, woodfired pizza oven, the heart of a catering operation dubbed Weltons Fine Foods. “We always wanted to be mobile and cook outside,” Hannah said. From the spring of 2021, business quickly took off —

Hannah and Zachary Welton opened their bakery in spring 2021

at weddings, events and spots like Munkle Brewing Co. and Bar Rollins, the couple served char-crusted pizzas and slices of salted honey pie and soon gained a bit of a cult following.

at the chance for a more permanent operation. “We were ready for four walls,” Hannah said. “Though we didn’t know if it was going to be a slice shop or a bakery or what.” Still, they signed the lease in just two days, and a vision came together. By October 2023, Weltons Tiny Bakeshop was open for business.

The new shop lives up to its name. “It’s small as hell,” Hannah said. “But that’s the beauty of it. We prep everything fresh daily. There’s no room to sit on pre-baked product.” Keeping things tight isn’t just a physical constraint — it’s a baked-in principle.

“Our team is sandwiched in like sardines, but we understand why we’re so small. It keeps us true to our morals. We love abundance, but the good kind.”

In Charleston, Weltons’ style feels fresh, reaching beyond the typical lineup of croissants, muffins and scones. Instead, the counter is lined with naturally leavened, European-style goods: flaky kouign-amann (a layered pastry of laminated dough), gooey pasteis de nata (Portuguese egg tarts) and sweet and savory kolaches (pillowy Czech pastries) with vanilla bean curd or bacon and spring onion cream cheese. Mini loaves are showered in benne seed, danishes are studded with seasonal flourishes (mushroom, goat cheese and green garlic one week, asparagus and parmesan the next), and sourdough biscuits are slathered with butter and fresh strawberry jam.

Each pastry is a clear labor of love and a

Early in her career, she purposely refused several pastry gigs. “If you’re a woman, sometimes you’re just automatically put on pastry — it can be a very sexist role,” she said (though she eventually led the program at Hartwood). “I was very vocal about that in a male-dominted industry.”

Home was where she and Zachary began baking, experimenting with savory recipes as often as sweet. Today, the bakery’s majority savory menu items reflect that affinity — and the couple’s history as chefs. “I think that depth is what sets us apart. We see these as more than just sweet treats,” Hannah said.

Weltons’ reliance on locally sourced ingredients is another key component of the business. They were influenced by their foundational years at Husk, an early pioneer of the purveyor-forward model that now rules Charleston’s food scene.

“At Husk, we got to touch Anson Mills flour every day,” Hannah said. “We saw Celeste (Albers of Green Grocer) dropping off fresh milk. We still have these incredible relationships.”

For both the bakery and Welton’s Fine Foods, which continues to operate in tandem (and often sets up shop in the bakery’s alleyway on Sundays), seasonality is everything. Each week, deliveries from producers like Rosebank Farms and Marsh Hen Mills help dictate the menu.

“Just like our pizza, we see our baked goods as a blank canvas,” Hannah said. “We have a few foundational things that stay on the menu, but then we’ll get, say, a case of first-of-the-season strawberries, and really hone in on that.”

A new take on dining

In February, the Weltons launched a third endeavor: the Butter Room. Housed in the bakery’s back room and adjacent alley, the dining concept is another manifestation of the owners’ philosophy: keeping things small, honoring ingredients and offering an alternative to prevailing hospitality conditions.

“We thought, why can’t we create a dreamy experience for 10 to 18 people, on our own terms?” Hannah said. In addition to private bookings, the Butter Room hosts a monthly ticketed dinner. Here, every detail feels personal, down to the playlist, the wine pairings and the dishware. “We want it to feel like, ‘Welcome to our home.’”

As the Weltons develop their next concept, they see the Butter Room as an incubator. “Opening a sustainable restaurant is definitely on the brain, but for now, this is a way to express that,” Hannah said. “It’s an avenue to cook again, in a more healthy and manageable way. We get to be home by 9:30 p.m. It’s a huge shift in perspective, and a quality of life we’ve honestly never had.”

Sanchez’s carne asada

In celebration of Cinco de Mayo, Sanchez shared a carne asada recipe with the Charleston City Paper. It’s simple to make at home, Sanchez said, especially when using the carne asada seasoning he creates and sells at Maya del Sol.

“The classic Mexican carne asada is a piece of skirt steak or any type of marbled fatty meat, usually cut thinly,” he said. “Depending on where you are in Mexico, it could be marinated with beer, lemon and lime, sour orange. So I came up with a seasoning that has all the flavors, plus a little bit of dried lime and lemon mixed in there.”

Marinate the steak in lemon and lime for a couple of minutes. Season it heavily with spices like salt, cumin, garlic and cayenne pepper, or save time and use Sanchez’s seasoning mix. Place the steak on a flat top or grill, or cook it in a cast iron pan. Serve the carne asada with rice and beans, tortillas, caramel ized onions, grilled jalapeños and salsa.

Free Will Astrology

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Before forming the band called The Beatles, John Lennon, George Harrison and Paul McCartney performed under various other names: the Quarrymen, Japage 3, and Johnny and the Moondogs. I suspect you are currently at your own equivalent of the Johnny and the Moondogs phase. You’re building momentum. You’re gathering the tools and resources you need. But you have not yet found the exact title, descriptor or definition for your enterprise. I suggest you be extra alert for its arrival in the coming weeks.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): I’ve selected a passage to serve as one of your prime themes during the rest of 2023. It comes from poet Jane Shore. She writes, “Now I feel I am learning how to grow into the space I was always meant to occupy, into a self I can know.” Dear Taurus, you will have the opportunity to grow ever-more assured and selfpossessed as you embody Shore’s description in the coming months. Congratulations in advance on the progress you will make to more fully activate your soul’s code.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Georges Rouault (1871-1958) was a Gemini painter who bequeathed the world over 3,000 works of art. There might have been even more. But years before he died, he burned 315 of his unfinished paintings. He felt they were imperfect, and he would never have time or be motivated to finish them. I think the coming weeks would be a good time for you to enjoy a comparable purge, Gemini. Are there things in your world that don’t mean much to you anymore and are simply taking up space? Consider the possibility of freeing yourself from their stale energy.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Britain occupied India for almost 200 years. It was a ruthless and undemocratic exploitation that steadily drained India’s wealth and resources. Mahatma Gandhi wasn’t the only leader who fought British oppression, but he was among the most effective. In 1930, he led a 24-day, 240-mile march to protest the empire’s tyrannical salt tax. This action was instrumental in energizing the Indian independence movement that ultimately culminated in India’s freedom. I vote to make Gandhi one of your inspirational role models in the coming months. Are you ready to launch a liberation project? Stage a constructive rebellion? Martial the collaborative energies of your people in a holy cause?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): As crucial as it is to take responsibility, it is also essential to recognize where our responsibilities end and what should be left for others to do. For example, we usually shouldn’t do work for other people that they can just as easily do for themselves. We shouldn’t sacrifice doing the work that only we can do and get sidetracked doing work that many people can do. To be effective and to find fulfillment in life, it’s vital for us to discover what truly needs to be within our care and what should be outside of our care. I see the coming weeks as a favorable time for you to clarify the boundary between these two.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Virgo-born Marie Laveau (1801–1881) was a powerful Voodoo priestess, herbalist, activist and midwife in New Orleans. According to legend, she could walk on water, summon clairvoyant visions, safely suck the poison out of a snake’s jowls and cast spells to help her clients achieve their heart’s desires. There is also a wealth of more tangible evidence that she was a community activist who healed the sick, volunteered as an advocate for prisoners, provided free teachings, and did rituals for needy people who couldn’t pay her. I hereby assign her to be your inspirational role model for the coming weeks. I suspect you will have extra power to help people in both mysterious and practical ways.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): What are the best methods to exorcize our personal demons, ghosts, and goblins? Or at least subdue them and neutralize their ill effects? We all have such phantoms at work in our psyches, corroding our confidence and undermining our intentions. One approach I don’t recommend is to get mad at yourself for having

these interlopers. Never do that. The demons’ strategy, you see, is to manipulate you into being mean and cruel to yourself. To drive them away, I suggest you shower yourself with love and kindness. That seriously reduces their ability to trick you and hurt you — and may even put them into a deep sleep. Now is an excellent time to try this approach.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): As she matured, Scorpio poet Sylvia Plath wrote, “I am learning how to compromise the wild dream ideals and the necessary realities without such screaming pain.” I believe you’re ready to go even further than Plath was able to, dear Scorpio. In the coming weeks, you could not merely “compromise” the wild dream ideals and the necessary realities. You could synergize them and get them to collaborate in satisfying ways. Bonus: I bet you will accomplish this feat without screaming pain. In fact, you may generate surprising pleasures that delight you with their revelations.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Some primates use herbal and clay medicines to selfmedicate. Great apes, chimpanzees, bonobos, and gorillas ingest a variety of ingredients that fight against parasitic infection and help relieve various gastrointestinal disturbances. (More info: https://tinyurl.com/PrimatesSelfMedicate.) Our ancestors learned the same healing arts, though far more extensively. And many Indigenous people today still practice this kind of self-care. With these thoughts in mind, Sagittarius, I urge you to spend quality time in the coming weeks deepening your understanding of how to heal and nurture yourself. The kinds of “medicines” you might draw on could be herbs, and may also be music, stories, colors, scents, books, relationships and adventures.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The mythic traditions of all cultures are replete with tales of clashes and combats. If we draw on these tales to deduce what activity humans enjoy more than any other, we might conclude that it’s fighting with each other. But I hope you will avoid this normal habit as much as possible during the next three weeks, Capricorn. I am encouraging you to actively repress all inclinations to tangle. Just for now, I believe you will cast a wildly benevolent magic spell on your mental and physical health if you avoid arguments and skirmishes. Here’s a helpful tip: In each situation you’re involved in, focus on sustaining a vision of the most graceful, positive outcome.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Is there a person who could serve as your Über Mother for a while? This would be a wise and tender maternal ally who gives you the extra nurturing you need, along with steady doses of warm, crisp advice on how to weave your way through your labyrinthine decisions. Your temporary Über Mother could be any gender, really. They would love and accept you for exactly who you are, even as they stoke your confidence to pursue your sweet dreams about the future. Supportive and inspirational. Reassuring and invigorating. Championing you and consecrating you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Congratulations on acquiring the Big New Riddle! I trust it will inspire you to grow wiser and kinder and wilder over the coming months. I’ve compiled some clues to help you unravel and ultimately solve this challenging and fascinating mystery. 1. Refrain from calling on any strength that’s stingy or pinched. Ally yourself solely with generous power. 2. Avoid putting your faith in trivial and irrelevant “benefits.” Hold out for the most soulful assistance. 3. The answer to key questions may often be, “Make new connections and enhance existing connections.”

Grace McNally comes full circle

By Chelsea Grinstead

The rustic new album Full Circle from Charleston classical guitarist Grace McNally rises and sets like the sun, peaceful and illuminating. The delicate melodies and mounting rhythms heard on the eight songs are the product of McNally’s five-year journey of writing, arranging and recording the material.

“Ultimately, the album is a celebration of a journey coming full circle personally, but also celebrating the common ground in the music that comes from West Africa, Charleston, Central America, Cuba, South America and Brazil,” McNally told the Charleston City Paper

The album highlights the musical continuities McNally experienced in her travels between West Africa, North, Central and South America. Some of the lyricism and vocals heard on Full Circle are from the creative stores of her fellow local musicians, including Afro-Cuban percussionist/vocalist Gino Castillo and electronic artist and poet Marcus Amaker.

Amaker’s words unveil a deep remembering as he speaks on “Open Door”: “Home can be opening the door to a heritage that is a water length away from what you know, but you find your fingerprints in a foreign land and answer the call in a place that has always been calling your name.”

McNally’s original arrangements are layered with vocal segments from a cappella singing group, The Plantation Singers, Castillo on percussion, Brett Belanger on acoustic bass, Abdiel Iriarte on piano, Tim Khayat on bass, Jonathan Lovet on keys and Miller Boone on drums.

While McNally plays mainly electric guitar on the new album, she also plays a Brazilian hand drum called the pandeiro on some tracks.

“Throughout the album, I’m quoting other [instruments] — like in ‘Open Door’ there’s some berimbau style, which is a Brazilian percussion instrument. I think

there’s a very raw element to the album — maybe that’s my way of being ‘punk.’ I’m like, ‘It’s just gonna be what it is.’ ”

Full Circle also features a cover of “All The Things You Are” by Brazilian guitarist Baden Powell.

“He draws from so many different styles like indigenous, classical and Afro Brazilian,” McNally said of Powell.

“The original piece, ‘Give Me Water,’ I actually wrote in my childhood bedroom when I was living at home working in 2017,” she said. “It was the first song I wrote on this album. I always pictured a gospel choir with that song when I wrote it. So that’s what drew me to The Plantation Singers.”

The recording took about three years, with a couple tracks laid at Fairweather Studio with Omar Colon, five songs at Truphonic Studio with Elliot Elsey and one song at Castillo’s home studio.

Broadening musical horizons

McNally also hosts a segment on Ohm Radio 96.3 at 5 p.m. every Monday called Travel Notes.

“Travel Notes is a show exploring the ways in which we’re all connected through music,” she said. “It’s something I’m very passionate about: using music as a medium to find cultural connections to places that you might normally not — like how blues from the American South connects to West African kora music; or how there’s psychedelic music in Cambodia because of the Vietnam War. For me, it’s finding these random

pop-ups of genres that blossom in other places because of world events or cultural clashes and diasporas.”

She said she loves Ohm Radio because it’s a voice for Charleston if listeners want to get to know the diverse communities within the city.

“We have Marcela Rabens new show Ritmo Latino on Tuesdays that’s all in Spanish, and she brings in Latin musicians from the Hispanic community here. There’s the Black History Talks with Dr. Bernard Powers on Monday. We have Gullah Voices on Fridays with Lynnette White from The Plantation Singers. There’s Children’s Hour on Saturday morning. We have everything from business and environmental sustainability to dubstep,” she said, laughing. “It’s really eclectic.”

She said although she’s been more focused on the album release lately than diving into new songwriting, it all feels like part of the creative process.

“It’s hard to write when you feel like you have to force it,” she said. “Sometimes I think it’s almost better to put it down and step away. Because it does come back. Trust. There’s a lot of trust in the creative process.

“Music is life. It can be so therapeutic to write, and it’s the gift that keeps on giving because someone else can hear it and be like, ‘Yeah, that was the space I needed.’ That’s the beautiful thing about music and the arts.”

Meet the musicians behind Full Circle at a free event at Clerk’s Coffee at 6:30 p.m. May 4. Visit EventBrite.com for tickets to the album release party at 7 p.m. May 7.

Brazilian jazz show lands at the Music Hall

They will take the stage for two performances at 5 p.m. and 8 p.m., bringing the relaxed samba style of Bossa Nova music that originated in 1950s Brazil.

The ‘ever-changing life’ of rock trio Hollifield

By Kevin Murphy Wilson

Charleston rock ‘n’ roll ensemble Hollifield rolls out amiable, cozy small town tunes on its eponymous debut EP. The trio is composed of the group’s namesake, guitarist Connor Hollifield, along with bassist Tommy Merritt and drummer Drew Lewis. Establishing this musical alliance was very intentional, Hollifield told the Charleston City Paper, and the result of much soulsearching on his part.

“A big shift in my life had happened when the [previous] band I was in throughout college with my best friends decided to split up,” Hollifield said. “This prompted some big questions like, ‘What makes me happy?’ and ‘What message do I want to share with people?’ ”

Lewis, who has known Hollifield since childhood and later became friends with Merritt while attending the University of South Carolina, said that it just made sense

for such like-minded musicians to join forces, which eventually happened in the autumn of 2021.

It certainly helped, Lewis added, that they had each been working separately from the same cultural reference points. “I’d say we all draw the most influence from the songwriting of The Beatles and Bob Dylan combined with the spontaneous and sensitive music of artists like Jimi Hendrix and The Band,” he said.

For these Charleston-based practitioners, the first Susto record was also “a great high water mark” according to Lewis, and an example of the sort of definitive statement that could be made right here at home. The band’s record echoes the sounds of all of these forebearers with its own stripped back sincerity.

Tracks such as “Let it Grow” and “Fishcamp” show an unguarded, reflective side. On “Fishcamp,” Hollifield sings: “Isn’t it strange how / people we change and /

just like that we go back again.” While the songs “Come Up” and “Queen Bellevue” are percussion heavy pick-me-ups.

“This collection of songs is our thank you to this ever-changing life,” Hollifield said.

“The message we hope to get to people is to be who you are and let your light shine.”

Lewis said the group plans to take these tunes out on the road. “We are looking at booking a tour later this year,” he said.

“Hopefully we’ll be traveling up the East Coast, maybe hitting New York City.”

For now, the band can be frequently found holding court and dreaming big at The Royal American downtown — the trio’s self-professed “home.” And for Merritt at least, that’s not such a bad position to be in.

“Success is getting to do it your way,” Merritt said. “Not ignoring everyone else, but writing music the way you want to, and getting in front of people who resonate with that. The music industry is crazy, but then again, everything’s a bit crazy.”
