The Rundown

Helpline launches to prevent evictions

Charleston’s One80 Place , the state’s largest nonprofit organization dedicated to preventing homelessness, recently launched an eviction prevention line through the United Way Association of South Carolina.

Renters in the Charleston area who are at risk of being evicted from their homes can now dial 2-1-1 from any phone and be connected directly to a One80 Place representative who can help to link them with no-cost legal assistance and access supportive services.

Town hall focuses on soaring liquor liability insurance rates

Skyrocketing liquor liability insurance rates in South Carolina are threatening to shutter local bars and entertainment venues, but advocates say the impact could have a massive ripple effect that most are missing.

SC Venue Crisis, a grassroots movement started in April by Upstate small business owners and advocates Kynn Tribble, Asheton Reid and Sheila Merck, held a town hall meeting Monday night at Frothy Beard Brewing Company in West Ashley to raise awareness of the problem. Dozens turned out, including several local business owners who had a personal stake in the movement.

The 2017 passage of Senate Bill 116 requires all bars, restaurants and venues that serve alcohol after 5 p.m. to carry a $1 million liability insurance policy. But critics say the bill is missing key language to prevent it from being exploited to the detriment of business owners, leaving them vulnerable to sky-high lawsuits and driving up rates.

“The insurance policy is typical in business — it’s normal to have coverage of that nature,” Reid told the Charleston City Paper. “But when there’s no percentage of fault rules attached to that — even if you are just 1% at fault — you can be held responsible for $1 million. … These frivolous

lawsuits in the wake of S. 116 have caused spikes in insurance rates. … In 2017, we had at least 12 insurance providers, and now we’re down to three in just a few years.”

And the few providers that are left have hiked their prices to keep up with the higher costs. The average liability policy in the state, Reid said, skyrocketed from between $2,000 and $5,000 to up to $25,000. Tribble, who owns a bar in the Upstate, said his policy jumped to $40,000 after the bill passed, and within a few months of shopping for a different provider, it had soared to $100,000.

“They said the only way around it was to make noise and change the laws, so that’s what we started trying to do, and it’s caught on,” Tribble said. “I didn’t realize how many people were in the same shoes as we were, and some of the numbers they’re telling me [in Charleston] are astronomical. Numbers I’ve heard down here are $280,000, $400,000 and one business with multiple locations is paying over $500,000.”

A bigger impact than expected

South Carolina netted $29 billion in tourism last year, according to reports. State leaders touted the record-setting income as an 11% increase over the year

before, signaling a return to a healthy economy after the end of the pandemic.

“But tourism would take a massive hit if all these bars started shutting down,” Tribble said. “A lot of the charm of places like Charleston are these old dives. You start losing those kinds of places, and you start losing people, and if you think that’s not going to affect everybody, it is. These folks aren’t just spending money at the bars. They’re getting hotel rooms; they’re eating at restaurants; they’re putting gas in their cars. It’s all connected.”

And it affects more than just businesses, too. American Legion, a national veteran services organization, operates bars to generate money to fund community service programs in their areas. Ivan Fannin, sergeant at arms for American Legion Post 147 on James Island, said the insurance rules have forced the organization to raise bar prices by 25%.

“Our costs have been gradually going up, but this latest jump this year is just mindblowing,” Fannin said. “You have people who are on fixed incomes, veterans and retired folks coming to us, and this 25% hike we had to implement — that’s a lot. There’s only so much juice you can squeeze out of a lemon.

“Our organization is a sanctuary for other

“The new eviction prevention line will allow our team to intervene at a critical point before an individual loses their housing, when we have an opportunity to help them stabilize financially and potentially avoid eviction,” said Stacey Denaux, CEO of One80 Place. One80 Place is also collaborating with South Carolina Legal Services, Charleston Pro Bono Legal Services and Charleston Legal Access. —Staff reports 4

Back to school with ease

Parents and students across the Charleston area are juggling checklists, picking out spiral notebooks and dusting off backpacks as the 2023-2024 academic year is getting underway.

Students and parents may feel overwhelmed as they tackle back-to-school preparation, but Charleston K-12 schools and colleges gave the Charleston City Paper some advice for returning to classes feeling prepared.

“Back-to-school shopping can be an enormous task if you can start early,” said Dr. Shavonna Coakley, executive director of the department of school support for the Charleston County School District (CCSD).

“It’s a great idea to compare prices online and take advantage of coupons and cashback apps,” she said. “You can also find supplies at the dollar store and great clothes at thrift stores. Additionally, there are a ton of giveaways for back-to-school supplies.”

Coakley recommended checking school social media pages to stay informed of backto-school events hosted throughout the Charleston area.

The City Paper compiled tips from local academic professionals for parents and students to ensure they have a smooth start to this coming academic year. And check out the rundown of what’s new in Charleston, Berkeley and Dorchester county schools.

College students: Start out organized, get connected

College students heading back to class should make note of the most important academic dates once they know their class schedule, said Stephanie Auwaerter, CofC’s director of orientation.

What’s new this year for K-12 school districts, colleges

College of Charleston: The Weeks of Welcome activities during August and September offer opportunities for students to get acclimated to campus culture. McAlister residence hall will be open again after renovations last year. A new texting service will become available for students to ask questions.

The Citadel: The new academic building Capers Hall opens for fall 2023 classes and will house the school of humanities and social sciences, including a cyber lab, art gallery and auditorium, among other features.

Trident Technical College: A new surgical technology program starts this fall for students specializing in preparing operating rooms and assisting doctors and nurses with surgery. Classes will be held at the Mount Pleasant Campus and a hands-on lab will be held at the National Educational and Research Center (NEAR). Bonus: Trident Technical College offers free tuition through spring 2024. Visit studentaid.gov to apply for the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

Dorchester School District 2: This year,a new online learning management system called Schoology will be launched to help parents and students easily organize

and schedule everything school-related. Parents have access to their child’s classes, upcoming assignments, school and class announcements. The district’s Raptor school safety software is in place to screen every individual who enters campus, and the STOPit anonymous reporting system makes it simple to report safety and misconduct concerns.

Charleston County School District: The district welcomes new superintendent, Dr. Eric Gaillien. Also new this year is the Department of School Support, which launched its Showing Up Together: Show Up to Glow Up attendance awareness campaign, providing education and resources to parents and students on why education matters.

Berkeley County School District: The district is also implementing Schoology online learning management system to help parents and students organize and schedule with ease. This year sees the unveiling of the K-8 Carolyn Lewis School with a stateof-the-art facility designed to cultivate an inspiring learning environment. Parents will access to a new app and an updated district website that make information accessible and streamline communication. Features include event notifications and access to cafeteria menus. — Chelsea Grinstead

Broadband service spreads in rural communities

The roar of drilling machines across the tri-county region signals more households, offices and eventually community centers are being connected to high-speed broadband service.

Thanks to federal funding, South Carolina has made “digital inclusion” a priority to bring fast, reliable and affordable internet service to an estimated 2 million households in underserved rural communities with an emphasis on children.

Elaine Morgan, CEO of the Berkeley County Chamber of Commerce, said educational achievement data show “our children didn’t do so well” stuck at home during the pandemic with no internet access.

“We have to do everything in our power to help them regain lost time and keep them on a steady path of learning,” she told the Charleston City Paper. Linking more homes in underserved areas to the digital information highway is one solution, she stressed.

Earlier this summer, South Carolina received a $551 million allocation in federal money to lay fiber optic cable for broadband expansion. The money comes from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) that President Joe Biden signed in November 2021.

The state estimates it will receive the IIJA money in the first quarter of 2025, said Jim Stritzinger, director of the S.C. Broadband Office.

To receive the funds, South Carolina must first submit by Aug. 28 a five-year Broadband Equity Access and Deployment (BEAD) Action Plan to the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), which is a part of the U.S. Department of Commerce.

In May 2022, the Broadband Office received from the American Rescue Plan its first allocation of $400 million. So far, the state has committed $150 million of that allocation to award grants to 15 internet service providers in 34 counties.

Some 31,000 students in South Carolina lack internet access at home, Stritzinger said. The Broadband Office has made students a priority, and it is making investments that should cut that number in half by December 2024, he explained.

Tri-county expansion

Locally, Home Telecom in Moncks Corner, Palmetto Rural Telephone Cooperative in Walterboro and AT&T are among the companies hiring crews to bore just below

the ground to install conduit that will incase fiber optic cable, according to the Broadband Office.

Home Telecom’s service area includes Berkeley County and portions of Charleston and Dorchester counties. Gina T. Shuler, Home’s vice president of marketing, said the company has spent or will spend about $42 million to install fiber optic cable. The company invests 50% of the installation cost before it is reimbursed through matching state and federal grants, she said.

The company serves McClellanville where Donald “Smitty” Smith’s Timmonsville-based company recently was installing orange conduit. His company, Just Angie LLC, started working in McClellanville six months ago and has so far installed about 8 miles of conduit, he said. Smith expects to finish in about a month and then another company will install the fiber optic cable in a process that resembles pulling sewing thread through a straw.

Earlier this year, Smith and his crew installed more than one mile of conduit in Awendaw.

So far, Home Telecom has installed 180 miles of fiber optic cable to Alvin, Jamestown and Pineville in Berkeley County and it has brought service to 500 customers in southern Dorchester County. The company is also designing a 70-mile cable network for Huger, Woodville and Sandy Run in Berkeley County that could be completed by the end of 2024, Shuler said.

“There are areas in the rural portions of all three counties that are unserved,” she said. In Berkeley County, Cross, St. Stephen and Bonneau have slow unreliable service or no service at all, she added.

Spreading the word

To make rural broadband expansion successful, Shuler said, the company has part-

nered with the Berkeley County chamber of Commerce to educate people on why the internet has become an essential part of life.

“A lot of people don’t think they need the internet,” Morgan said. The chamber is trying to teach people how the service can connect them to a doctor, apply for a job, write a resume and send an email.

With grants from Google and chamber members, Morgan said the chamber has plans to upgrade five Berkeley County community centers with computers, low-cost Chromebooks, free internet connections and Wi-Fi. With the digital connection, she said, residents can access mental health and drug and alcohol treatment services.

“We’ve found that people in rural areas … don’t get the correct information, and they don’t get the information on time,” she said. By the end of the year, volunteers, called digital navigators, will begin training residents on how to access and use the technology.

Upgrades are planned at the Keith School Community Center in Cainhoy, the Alvin Recreation Center in Alvin, the Cross Community Center, the Tri Community Center in Sandridge and the Wassamassaw Community Center near Jedburg.

With an initial investment of $150,000, the chamber plans to open five upgraded community centers. Six more centers are expected later.

“We are a county of haves and havenots,” Morgan said. “We want every resident … to enjoy the successes of Berkeley County. Residents ought to make a living wage and have all the basic needs and access to the agencies” that provide vital social and medical services. Broadband expansion, she added, “is a good road to make the changes we need.”

A man dressed as a “Moby

Dick sailor” reportedly stole a pack of cigarettes from a Sam Rittenberg Boulevard gas station on Aug. 8. The sailor man was described as very hairy and dirty with a collarlength beard. Guess spinach just isn’t getting the job done anymore, eh Popeye?

Not so happy birthday

A Charleston woman reported her car was stolen Aug. 7, but she reportedly was less worried about the car and more worried about what was left inside: two large Yeti coolers ($800), a set of birthday balloons ($40), $200 in cash, a $50 gift card and a lottery ticket with a potential jackpot of more than $200 million. What a rags-to-riches story that would be.

Not a great way to make friends

North Charleston police on Aug. 9 noticed a man standing outside a Rivers Avenue hotel. As officers approached, the man attempted to walk away and avoid officers, according to reports. Due to this, police detained him, ran his ID, and released him after it came back clear. Honestly, we’d probably try and walk away, too.

The Blotter is taken from reports filed with area police departments between Aug. 5 and Aug. 9.

veterans — it’s not for profit,” he added. “It’s a home away from home, and the bar is just a way to keep the doors open. We provide so much more to our community: rides for veterans to medical appointments, we sponsor a Little League team, we pay for medical equipment, sponsorships and more. This one piece of legislation is threatening all of that. We opened our doors in 1950, and this could be a death blow.”

Advocates remain hopeful

Monday night’s town hall was the 22nd held by the group, Reid said, and the turnout keeps getting better.

“I came down to Charleston in July, and only two people showed up. Four showed up to another,” Tribble said. “That was really disheartening, but that’s why we came back, and boom, the turnout tonight was great.

“And the biggest thing is that the representatives are starting to show up now,” he added. “None were here tonight, but they have shown up at several meetings, and they are saying they want to change things — to fix this.”

Proposed legislation in the state House of Representatives and Senate looks to address advocates’ concerns, such as H. 4529, introduced in the S.C. House in June, and the S.C. Justice Act, a Senate bill that

“After the first week, sit down and put your assignments for the semester in your planning system,” Auwaerter said. “You can then see when you can take a break for a beach trip or concert at one of the great venues in town and what weekends you need to spend at the library.”

One must-have thing every college student needs, she said, is a sense of adventure.

“Take a chance and go to an event you haven’t gone to before; try new foods and talk to people in the elevator and while you are waiting for class,” Auwaerter said. “Your bestie or new boo may be just one hello away.”

Time management is a useful skill for staying organized and prepared for class, said Dr. Laurie Boeding, vice president for academic affairs at Trident Technical College.

“Students should schedule time for studying and completing assignments each day,” she said. “For every hour of class time, students should plan to spend three hours outside of class studying and completing class work. Limiting distractions can help students use their study time more efficiently. A quiet, dedicated study space is recommended.”

Other tips for college students include “less is more,” Auwaerter said. “Talk to your roommates and suitemates about what you are bringing so you don’t have four Keurigs.” More good tips: Bring a small tool kit, a

was referred to a Senate subcommittee in March. But as the state’s legislative session ended in May, neither bill will likely be considered until next year.

Neither of the bills’ sponsors, S.C. Rep. Stewart Jones, R-Laurens, in the House nor S.C. Sen. Thomas Alexander, R-Oconee, responded to requests for comment.

“We would love for [S.C. Gov. Henry] McMaster to call an emergency session to bring people back in on this issue before more businesses are forced to close,” Reid said. “Think of the unemployment this could cause — the trickle-down effect. The venue isn’t just the building; it’s the bar staff, the wait staff, distribution and food providers.”

And while an emergency session is unlikely, Tribble said his team is continuing to encourage people to reach out to their legislators anyway.

“We’ve talked to so many people and seen so many faces,” he said. “I did not expect this, but that’s how it started growing. I have to see it through, because there are a lot of people counting on something happening. … People say, ‘Oh this won’t happen,’ but we’ve already seen things happen that they say wouldn’t happen.

“The movement is growing, and the more legislators are contacted, the more they will get on board,” he added. “Even if they’re not 100% behind it, they’re there to represent their people. If the people are hounding them about it, then that’s obviously what the people want.”

“Don’t bring your whole room from home,” she added. “At CofC, the office of sustainability has pop-up stores that have free items for students that were donated during move out last year.

K-12 students: Develop good habits

An excellent way for parents of K-12 school students to stay organized during the academic year is to come up with and stick to a routine, Coakley said.

“Routines make things a habit,” she said. “Once it’s a habit, you no longer have to work to remember. Morning routines are excellent because they help everyone get out the door to school, work and other engagements on time.”

For additional resources, check out CCSD’s parent resource guide.

Must-have items for students traditionally stay the same year after year, Coakley said. Examples: Pens, notebooks and lunchboxes. But she advised to not overlook the essential must-have item for parents — contact information for teachers.

“It’s important for parents to be able to connect with their student’s teachers regarding grades, attendance and other topics regarding their student’s education and well-being,” she said.

The public has the right to know, now and always

You might have missed last weekend’s news about the Saturday death of 98-year-old Joann Meyer in the small town of Marion, Kansas. A former reporter, columnist, editor and associate publisher of the county’s weekly newspaper, The Marion County Record, she died at her home in mid-sentence, questioning a widely criticized raid the day before when local police and sheriff’s deputies seized computers, cell phones, documents and her Alexa smart speaker. While the cause of her death was not quickly confirmed, her son, the newspaper’s current publisher, said the local coroner concluded the stress of questionable searches contributed.

“She said over and over again, ‘Where are all the good people to put a stop to this,’” Eric Meyer told The New York Times. “She felt like how can you go through your entire life and then have something that you spent 50 years of your life doing just kind of trampled on like it’s meaningless?”

Marion police and county sheriff’s deputies also raided the newspaper’s office and the home of the town’s vice mayor in searches prompted by a complaint by a local restaurant owner who claimed identity theft of records that were legally obtained and verified by the newspaper, which decided to not publish a story. But last Friday, a local judge, who may not understand the subpoena process, issued a search warrant. Also in play: The newspaper was looking into the newly hired police chief’s past for a possible story. Coincidence or extra ingredient for thugism?

The whole mess, now a national First Amendment poster child about freedom of speech and freedom of the press, reeks

of poor judgment and understanding of the role of a free press in a democracy.

Freedom of speech means you have the right to talk and write and to offer ideas and opinions without having to face punishment — or raids — from the government. There are limits, such as you are not supposed to spread lies, be reckless with the truth or be malicious. Other limits are related to obscenity, fraud, child pornography, incitement of lawless action (sound familiar in modern political context?), and violations of copyright or intellectual property. But the main idea is that Americans have a constitutional protection to write or say just about anything they want — without goons pounding at the door.

The press also enjoys constitutional protection and the vital social responsibility to publish truthful, objective information without restraint or censorship. That way, voters can make good decisions about public officials, elected and hired, and how they are running government in a civilized society.

Fundamental duties of this “Fourth Estate” are to serve as a watchdog for a heavy — or light — hand of government and to offer a vibrant marketplace for ideas to stimulate society.

What happened in Kansas last week was a fundamental corruption of American freedom. As long-time members of the Association of American Newsmedia and the millions of readers of its member newspapers, we condemn the Kansas raids in the strongest possible terms. We also demand a full investigation into what happened and real consequences for any illegal actions. The public has the right to know — in this instance and always.

CHARLESTON CHECKLIST of community objectives

We encourage community leaders to act on these audacious priorities:

1. Deal with the water. Build a strong resiliency plan to harden infrastructure and make smart climate change decisions about development, roads and quality of life.

2. Fix roads, traffic. Repair and improve roads and reduce traffic. Speed up alternatives, including more public transportation.

3. Be smarter about education. Inject new energy into the broken Charleston County school board by focusing on kids, not national mantras.

4. Conduct public business in public. Be transparent in public business. Stop the secrecy.

5. Invest in quality of life. Build more parks. Have more festivals. Invest in infrastructure that promotes a broad sense of community.

6. Engage in real racial conciliation. If we embark on more conversations and actions on racial reconciliation, our community will strengthen and grow.

7. Develop fewer hotels, more affordable housing. Make Charleston a more affordable place to live for everyone.

8. Develop Union Pier at scale. Let’s not put ship-sized buildings on the coveted Union Pier property downtown. Instead, make what comes appropriate.

9. Build and follow a 50-year plan. Plan for the county’s long-term future and follow the plan.

10. Pay people more. Pay a living wage. Push South Carolina lawmakers to set a real minimum wage.

Haley, Scott have a lot at stake in August 2024 debate

Two homegrown presidential candidates have a lot of work to do if they want to break out of single digits in the polls and be serious 2024 contenders.

A late July New York Times/Siena College national poll showed former S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley and U.S. Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., each preferred by 3% of respondents — just like former Vice President Mike Pence. All three seem to brag they’re in third place in national polling, but really? — especially when the obvious frontrunner, former President Donald Trump, scored a crushing 54%. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis came in a distant second at 17%.

So to suggest that Haley and Scott have a lot at stake in the first big debate of the primary season on Aug. 23 might be the understatement of the year.

“While debates don’t often change minds in the general election, they can help voters differentiate between candidates in a primary,” College of Charleston political scientist Gibbs Knotts observed.

Louis Jacobson, senior correspondent with Politifact, said Haley and Scott haven’t yet broken through the clutter and made much of an impression with primary voters.

“This has been hard for all of Trump’s competitors, of course, given that his legal issues have sucked up so much of the oxygen,” he said.

Nevertheless, Haley and Scott have been good at raising millions of dollars. Haley has been on the hustings all over New Hampshire and Iowa making direct appeals to voters with a signature line that she’ll outwork every other candidate. Scott has been smiling a lot and pushing his personal moral code across Iowa to try to break through with a decency message, in contrast to Trump’s behavior revealed in three criminal indictments.

Ahead for Haley

So what does Haley have to do in the debate to break out of the pack?

More than likely, she’ll pound her foreign policy experience gained while Trump’s ambassador to the United Nations and will particularly try to make China a bogeyman.

Knotts said she’ll also tout her executive experience as governor. She probably won’t brag about efforts to lure Chinese companies to the Palmetto State. But she will use poll-tested language to pick a fight with the current president, Joe Biden.

One long-time political observer commented, “Her theme reminds me of the old red scare tactics. Any criticism she throws at Trump will be obtuse and refer to ‘a new generation of leadership.’ ”

Greenville Republican analyst Chip Felkel said Haley has to engage on her former boss, Trump — even if he doesn’t show up for the debate.

“Haley must quit straddling the fence,” he said. “She must go after Trump and go after him hard, as someone who witnessed first hand his volatility and unwillingness to take the advice of those who he placed in positions of responsibility.

“Unlike Scott, she has receipts, and she needs to present clear evidence of his mistakes on foreign policy, how she differs with him. Until she clearly and distinctly tells us what would be different in a Haley Administration as opposed to re-electing the former guy, she will continue to tread water.”

Scott’s challenge

Scott also needs a strong debate performance and likely will send a clear message of “you can trust me.” He may use Mexico, instead of China, as his bogeyman to attract support.

“I expect Scott to talk about his compelling personal story and his strong conservative voting record in the U.S. Senate,” Knotts said.

Felkel said Scott hasn’t yet taken Trump to the woodshed, but should.

“I do think his more positive message is being received and appreciated by the voters who are just tired of all the controversy and bluster, but like Haley, he has yet to tell us what would be distinctly different if he were to win versus Trump.

“Both Haley and Scott are running too much against Biden when their opponent right now is really Trump.”

A writer’s life on — and off — the streets

ince Shumate rode the free downtown shuttle in the heat of mid-July to keep cool. A few days later, he spoke about his life on Charleston’s streets for much of the last four years. But by the end of the month, he had a home — a cell at the Sheriff Al Cannon Detention Center.

Shumate, a 61-year-old homeless writer, describes Charleston in prose like few people have, such as in this October 2022 blog entry:

“It’s not going to get super cold here in Charleston but having toes that are so cold you can’t even feel them is no fun. No fun at all,” he wrote in “My Attempt to Prepare for 44-Degree Weather.” His periodic blog, “I Am Vince,” details the joy and desolation of street life.

On the streets for decades, Shumate has been shot at with a paintball gun — “those things sting,” he said. He’s been stabbed twice, beaten countless times, robbed, mugged and run over by a car. He recently tripped, which led to falling on his face into a lamppost. “I woke up in an emergency room. It looked like somebody had used a belt sander down my face.”

Shumate’s injuries are a road map of the injured body. A titanium shoulder plate he got after being hit by a car has been bothering him. He’s got at least six recent broken ribs, severed orbital nerves, a skull fracture, two broken clavicles, a broken jaw and dozens of other wounds of a life lived without walls and comfort.

Around 8 p.m. July 31, Charleston police reportedly asked him to stop making a disturbance along Market Street. Police said he disregarded commands to stop and walked away. An officer tried to detain him, according to an incident report, but “Mr. Shumate swung his cane striking the door of 67 State St. (The Spectator Hotel).” He was arrested on a disorderly conduct charge, a misdemeanor with a bond of $257. He was in the county jail until Aug. 14, when he was released for “time served,” according to a county official.

Life on the streets in Charleston

Shumate spoke about his life on the streets in Charleston in three interviews with the Charleston City Paper. First, he spoke near the Charleston Visitor Center after riding the shuttle. Then came interviews at Joe Riley Waterfront Park and in a room at the jail.

Feature 08.18.2023 12 Alex Nettles

Born in 1961 in Beckley, W.Va., Shumate is often seen wandering near the park in downtown’s French Quarter neighborhood. On one July day, he had 18 cents, a bruised face, a backpack of art and writing supplies and an empty bottle of liquor.

“I pick up odd jobs,” he said during one interview. “I have an echo-location like a bat — if I hear a chop saw or a circular saw or a hammer drill or anything like that, I’ll go to it and ask for work,” he said, adding that sometimes — when he has art supplies — he’ll also sell geometric drawings and paintings to pick up some cash. Sometimes, he dances.

Shumate said loneliness is the most harmful part of life on the street. He tends to keep to his own, avoiding the cliques of homeless people around town. Spending months alone at a time has left a heavy weight on his mind, he said. But writing helps with the isolation of homelessness. He said that it has saved him.

“I write because it is cheaper than drugs or a psychiatrist,” he said.

Picking up the pen

Shumate started writing with a daily list of gratitudes. His list evolved, he said, into an honest narrative of his life.

“It puts you in a better place,” he added.

He used to write on a laptop, which was stolen. A different one doesn’t work because he can’t authenticate it because he lost a phone. So Shumate has been writing on library computers when he can. In general, his writing illustrates his struggles with addiction and PTSD on a daily basis.

Every day, he finds a safe spot in a parking garage around midnight. He catches a few hours of sleep and is up as early as 4:30 a.m. “I’m gone before the birds are waking up,” he said. In another interview, he observed, “Early in the morning, there is a freedom here like you wouldn’t believe. I wouldn’t trade it for the world.”

He then searches for food and shelter, noting that his daily life isn’t extremely different from how the homeless of Charleston live their lives. The difference is that he writes about it.

For Shumate, a single day can be a story. He said he started writing after sending some thoughts to Speak Up magazine in Rock Hill. He described his style as trying to sound clear and powerful like the writing of Ernest Hemingway. Shumate said he uses declarative sentences that communicate his condition.

For example, Shumate described how, with chilled arthritic hands, he bounced to different resource centers, dreading the approaching cold. A woman who bought clothes for him brought “happy tears” to his eyes.

In “My Attempt to Prepare for 44-Degree Weather,” he asked the reader to consider keeping hand warmers in their glove compartments and to “toss one (or 10) to a homeless person standing on the street corner shivering and turning blue while you’re waiting for the light to turn green.”

He said he calls himself the “Voice of the Streets.” Shumate said he aims to be a mediator between the homeless and the more fortunate.

“I’d like to become some sort of liaison between the homeless and others who may be able and want to help,” Shumate said in a blog series, “One Week on the Streets.” “A lot of people, businesses and organizations either don’t know how to help, or even if they can.”

Another article, “In Search of Sleep,” began with gratitude for shelter during a “blasting” rainstorm.

Shumate often writes about the difficulty and joy of immediate things like a sleeping spot, a meal or the elements.

“It’s good to change locations often because if you sleep in one place 100% of the time, eventually the cops are going to come up and hassle you. Every night is a roll of the dice.”

“In Search of Sleep” highlights his continuing struggle to find peace while ducking the police. He had two sleeping spots taken from him in one night. Even trying to sleep makes a story for Shumate.

“I’m homeless. No matter where I lay down the cops are going to tell me to leave,” Shumate said. “I was sober, exhausted, not in possession of any illegal drugs, and just needed sleep.”

His writing also shows a side of Charleston that those who live in homes would find difficult to imagine.

“Walk a mile in my shoes and you’ll want yours back after the first 10 steps,” he said in one post.

A long and winding road

Shumate said he has been to Paris, London, Puerto Rico, Asheville, California and “everywhere in the South or East Coast.” He said he has slept on a billboard in California and typed at Hemingway’s typewriter in Key West, Fla. He has now found himself in Charleston.

“Why did I come to Charleston? It is cold as shit in Asheville,” he said, later adding that he didn’t like how there was a lot of heroin and other drugs in the area.

Shumate recalled his high school graduation in West Virginia, where he said he graduated near the top of his class. For a while, Shumate said he had a successful business cleaning boats in Long Beach, Calif. At that point, he had a car and a roof over his head.

Then at age 24, he said, his back went

out. Shumate said he was diagnosed with an unusually young case of osteoarthritis. After that, he said he spiraled. And that’s when he said alcoholism began tearing at his life and his path of homelessness started.

For the last 25 years, he said he’s had housing insecurity. He’s been in Charleston for about four years, but went to Key West for a few months for warmth when he had money from an insurance settlement.

What’s next

Shumate said he believed a great way to help Charleston’s homeless would be for an organization to develop a “street sheet” — a guide to soup kitchens, shelters and rehabilitation centers.

“There would be a lot less suffering and confusion if there was one,” he said, “Some people don’t know where to sleep or eat when they get here.”

He said life on the city streets is just as difficult as one under a roof.

“There are so many starvation wages and car payments,” he said. “Right now I’ve got a spot where I sleep, and I look at the stars.”

A few days before Shumate was arrested for the umpteenth time, he had less than $10. His titanium shoulder plate hurts and sometimes feels like it’s going to pop out of his shoulder, he said.

When asked what he’d do next, Shumate reflected that his week in jail had been “great,” other than some mess he had to put up with from some younger inmates, “because I’ve been away from alcohol.”

He said he hoped to get into a free detox program.

“I’m really struggling with staying straight, staying sober,” he said, later adding that he yearned to get back to writing. “I need a laptop, a camera and a phone. In that way, I can get back to [typing] 42 words a minute. That’s about my top speed. …

“If I’m writing, it will take up enough of my time that I won’t be thinking about drinking. Idle hands are the devil’s workshop, right?”

Whether in jail or out, he expects to persevere as he has for 25 years.

“I live in the here and now. That’s the only place there is.”

Latina-owned shop offers sustainable, unique fashion

Fluffy fake clouds and upside down roses hang in the window of the hot new vintage store Made in Heaven. Located on Spring Street, the shop is owned by downtown resident Natalie Sanchez who aims to make sustainable fashion affordable with one-ofa-kind upcycled vintage pieces.

“Everything is realistically $50 and under,” Sanchez said. “Why would we make sustainability unaffordable? It just wouldn’t make sense.”

As a vintage seller, she said she’s fighting against fast fashion, which is inexpensive clothing produced rapidly by mass-market retailers.

“We have these huge corporate companies that sell clothes where you wear the item once and then you have to throw it away, from Shein, Urban Outfitters, Forever 21, I could go on. It’s just a waste of money. It’s a waste of resources. It takes over 200 years for clothing to decompose in a landfill. That releases toxic chemicals and dyes, and it’s just a whole cycle,” she said.

She first opened the store as Shop Thrifted in November and celebrated a rebrand this June with a fresh logo of a cherub resting on clouds. Made in Heaven is also the name of her original brand because she reworks much of the clothing in the store.

For one collection, Sanchez sewed together Adidas tracksuits and soccer jer-

seys with frilly, lacy skirts, creating unique, androgynous pieces that align with current trends — without supporting fast fashion.

“That’s also the fun part about being able to make clothes, giving items new life,” she said. “What’s different about my shop is if it’s a Made in Heaven piece, no one else will ever have that. It’s one-of-a-kind.”

Sanchez, who is originally from Chicago and lived in Charleston for much of her youth, said her long-time interest in fashion only grew when she moved to Brooklyn and discovered the world of reselling and upcycling vintage clothing.

“It was just very eye-opening for me living in New York City. There’s millions of vintage shops. I thought to myself, how can I take this back to Charleston? During Covid, I moved back here, and at first, I spent a lot of time just sitting on my couch embroidering.

“I ended up getting a sewing machine, and I started sewing clothes for myself. People kept asking me, where is that from? I realized I could make a business out of this.”

Sanchez started her business in 2020 by participating in pop-up markets around town under her old brand, Shop Thrifted. Though Charleston has many pop-up opportunities to shop vintage, there are not many permanent vintage shops on the peninsula. Some regular pop-up markets include Almighty Lifestyles monthly trade-andtrend at LO-Fi Brewing, Holy City Vintage Market at The Royal American and 84Flea,

among others.

Many shops that have opened in recent years have been pushed out by corporate interests, Sanchez said.

“Right now, there’s only two besides mine, and they are primarily for men,” Sanchez said.

Six months into her venture, Sanchez said every cent made is going back into the business. But so far, the store is doing great in sales because it’s a permanent location consistently offering curated vintage pieces. Sanchez said she is also excited about offering spots in her shop to other creators.

“We’re definitely trying to support other small businesses. We have other people’s clothing in our shop. We have homemade candles, bracelets, phone charms, whatever it might be. We’re just constantly trying to support other local people.”

Sanchez said she couldn’t have made the leap into business ownership without the support of her friends and family.

“I would not be where I’m at right now without them. I love what I do, and that’s so rare.”

The Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art at the College of Charleston opens a new exhibition Aug. 25, When the Land Meets the Body by artist La Vaughn Belle from the U.S. Virgin Islands. A Friday night opening reception takes place from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., and it is free for College of Charleston students, faculty and Halsey Institute members, otherwise a $5 donation is suggested.

Attend an opening at the Grand Bohemian

Artistic duo Taylor and Connor Robinson known as “Visceral Home” present an exhibition called And Yet We Co-Exist at the Grand Bohemian hotel gallery on Wentworth Street downtown until Sept. 30. The couple creates artwork that blurs the lines of painting, poetry and sculpture. Meet the artists at the opening reception from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Sept. 1.

Queer burlesque show debuts at Tin Roof

New local LGBTQ performance group

Queer Liberty celebrated queer identity during its debut burlesque performance Aug. 8 at the Tin Roof — which set the tone for the kind of themes the group aims to celebrate.

HIRING SINGERS!!

Saint James Episcopal Church on James Island is hiring one Soprano, one Alto, one Tenor, and one Bass for its parish choir. Must read music and have choral experience. Rehearsals are Thursdays 7–9pm and Sunday mornings 9am-11am. Pay is $75/rehearsal and $75/service, paid monthly. Additional compensation for Holy Days. For more information and to schedule an audition, please text David Friddle, Director of Music, at 864–633–7997. If Thursday rehearsal is a conflict I’ll consider moving it to Sunday mornings at 8am, so feel free to reach out.

Through film screenings, pop-up performances and other events, Queer Liberty intends to make space for the local LGBTQ community and queer artists.

“We were very intentional about wanting to start our show series with a burlesque show, a show where the through line is celebration and exploration of queer eroticism, because that is such a prominent point of demonization for queer people,” said Gabriel VanHorn, the group’s founder.

He started Queer Liberty as an attempt to create more events in Charleston featuring queer artistry, and the first event was a success, he told the Charleston City Paper, with many people asking about the next performance date which is set for late

September with details to come.

“Queer bodies and sex are so heavily politicized, so we wanted to set that intention very clearly with this first show, where it’s like, hey, if you want to come and celebrate these things, whether you are queer or you are an ally, or you just want to come and see art surrounding those things, then this is a space to come do that,” he said.

New opportunities

VanHorn, a 2022 graduate from the College of Charleston, said he had a “surprisingly positive” experience coming out as trans in his senior year, but even still, there was a level of fear in how his identity might affect his career as a theater performer.

“I didn’t really know of a lot of trans performers that were at a level of success where they could support themselves through live performance theater like I do, especially musical theater,” he said.

But he did find acting work after he responded to a call for auditions from Charleston Stage for Kinky Boots, which led to more roles through the company. Then he acted in the play Succulents in February through the queer-focused theater company The Void.

VanHorn knew he wanted to try per-

forming in drag, a long-time interest, and made his drag debut at Dudley’s on Ann in June. His first experience of Pride Month as an out trans man was beautiful, but it was also frustrating, he said, because it seems like performance opportunities for LGBTQ folks seem to dry up once Pride Month celebrations are over.

“Seeing that, it became a mission to me to try and create more space for that with very specific intention,” VanHorn said.

Another is to create space for queer joy and community in places other than bars. One of the big goals for Queer Liberty after this first show is to start a regularly occurring queer film and discussion series.

“A big focus is to create LGBTQ spaces that don’t revolve around drinking. There are so many people that are in the community and are sober or don’t necessarily feel comfortable in those spaces. So those events will be catered towards people who want to sit around and watch and appreciate queer art and queer stories and have open, supportive discussions.”

VanHorn said he is looking forward to creating more events in the pop-up performance series, plus parties, discussion groups and more. To stay up-to-date with Queer Liberty happenings, follow @shwbizbb on Instagram.

High Rise Dry Bar elevates mocktails

South Carolina’s first-ever cannabis dry bar has landed on James Island. High Rise

Dry Bar from Charleston Hemp Collective opened Aug. 11 and is changing the world of hemp-derived products and the nonalcoholic beverage space by offering mocktails made with legal cannabis seltzers.

“I think it’s really cool pioneering stuff like this,” said Matt Skinner, owner of Charleston Hemp Collective. “You always kind of worry about whether it’s going to go over and how many people are going to relate to it, but I feel like the reception we’ve gotten just so far is insane, so I’m superexcited about it.”

In recent years, the popularity of legal hemp-derived products has exploded in the Charleston area as these products are said to offer purported medicinal benefits and increase relaxation. Hemp Collective offers a range of products from vapes and gummies to tinctures and even Bloody Mary mix. But since launching its cannabis seltzer High Rise in May 2022, Skinner has noticed a fastshifting acceptance.

“Charleston has really embraced this whole [cannabis] movement,” he said. “So much has changed, and so much of it is becoming more and more accepted.”

Currently, High Rise’s seltzers are in about 200 bars and restaurants, including Halls Chophouse and Husk, and 350 shops and grocery stores in the Charleston area. But the product also is distributed throughout the Southeast in Tennessee, Florida, North Carolina and Georgia.

“Some of the most elevated restaurants in Charleston are really trying to create mocktails now and jumping on board with High Rise to help craft that, and I think that’s special,” Skinner said.

Exciting time for alternatives

He said he believes now is an exciting time — not only for the cannabis space but also

the non-alcoholic market. He points to a renewed interest in non-alcoholic options particularly amongst Gen Z, who are noticeably drinking less alcohol than previous generations.

A 2022 consumer trends report from Drizly found 38% of Gen Z respondents said they opted for more alcohol-free drinks than the previous year compared to 25% of Millennials, 15% Gen X and 8% Baby Boomers.

“There’s this interest not only in the ‘canna-curious’ space right now, but also people are looking for NA (non-alcoholic) options. The NA world and the beverage space right now is insane,” Skinner said.

The company’s original plan was to create a second shop with a small bar, but now the bar is really the star, he said. Skinner and his business partner, Chris Long, wanted a space for a high-end mocktail bar, so they used a portion of the space for the shop and a larger portion for a bar, lounge area and multiple tables for guests to sit and mingle.

During the store’s recent soft opening, DJ Jerry Feels Good set the vibe with upbeat tunes. Skinner said the bar plans to bring DJ Jerry Feels Good back as a regular inhouse DJ in addition to rotating other DJs on various nights.

Currently, the bar’s open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sundays through Wednesdays and 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. Thursdays through

Saturdays. But Skinner said they may expand the weekend hours in the future.

Elevated mocktails

The first iteration of the drink menu includes seven unique mocktails with names like Connection, Tranquility, Invigorate and Zen.

Drinks include fruity ingredients like salted watermelon and pomegranate and well as savory elements like ginger, turmeric and matcha. The menu offers suggestions under each drink to add CBD, Delta-8 or Delta-9 seltzer to elevate the experience.

What‘s new

A concept by Kwei Fei, Beautiful South is now open at 128 Columbus St. downtown. The restaurant serves dishes inspired by the cuisine of Southern China along with wine, beer, cocktails and mocktails.

Scooter’s Coffee will host a grand opening party at 9 a.m. Aug. 18 at 5641 N. Rhett Ave. in North Charleston.

Coterie has announced the opening of a second concept, Idle Hands Coffee House , to open Sept. 18. The cafe will operate from Coterie’s patio on Warren Street downtown with indoor seating available. Idle Hands will serve a full espresso menu, pastries from Daily Dough and alcoholic beverages daily from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Lola Rose , a new concept from James Beard Award-nominated chef Kevin Johnson and his wife Susan of The Grocery, will officially open Aug. 22 at 3540 Park Avenue Blvd. in Mount Pleasant.

What’s happening

Bend, stretch and cheers at Two Blokes Brewing’s Hatha & Hops Yoga from 11 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. Aug 20. Bring your own mat to participate. The event is $15 with a pint and $12 without.

The event takes place at 2 p.m. Aug. 27 at Lenoir and includes a signed copy of the book as well as a Q&A session and snacks and cocktails inspired by the authors. Tickets are $70 per person and available through Resy.

Bay Street Biergarten will host College Football Trivia at 7 p.m. Aug 30. Bring your friends and play for a chance to win Haus Cash and a reserved table during football season.

For those who are canna-curious but not familiar with these different derivatives of the hemp plant, CBD is a non-psychoactive compound found in hemp that can induce feelings of relaxation. Delta-8 and Delta-9 are both psychoactive compounds in the plant that can induce feelings of “being high.”

Roughly one-third of a can of High Rise seltzer is used in each drink — equal to two milligrams of CBD, Delta-8 or Delta 9.

“The point is not just one and done,” Skinner said of the mocktails. “We want you to be able to try two or three drinks. And by the time you get to your third drink, you’re gonna be feeling really good. It creates more of a social experience.”

New menu offered a great challenge

Jules Schneider, beverage director for Herd Provisions, helped develop the current menu.

“[This was] easily the most challenging menu I’ve done so far,” Schneider said. “Coaxing out flavor without the use of alcohol is another beast on its own. Alcohol is such a great solvent that making wellflavored ingredients is a cinch. I ended up making my own bitters with vegetable glycerin in a pressure cooker and really relied on great produce and proper technique to make fantastically flavored syrups.”

Skinner added, “I’ve got to give a lot of props to Jules. Not only did he take time to

look at so many different [flavor] profiles, [but] he was also very careful when he named them. They all really represent the ingredients of those drinks and what they stand for.”

The menu will change quarterly to introduce new drinks and operate as a space for experimentation. Skinner wants to use the bar to test out new mocktails in addition to featuring rotating specialty High Rise drinks other restaurants and bars have developed for their location including Herd Provisions, The Longboard and others.

“Charleston is a community that supports brands that they feel like are really making a movement, and Charleston has really gotten behind High Rise,” Skinner said. “I don’t think there’s another city in the Southeast that has so much respect for this cannabis drink space.”

PUBLIC AUCTION

ARIES (March 21-April 19): None of the books I’ve written has appeared on The New York Times best-seller list. Even if my future books do well, I will never catch up with Aries writer James Patterson, who has had 260 books on the prestigious list. My sales will never rival his, either. He has earned over $800 million from the 425 million copies his readers have bought. While I don’t expect you Rams to ever boost your income to Patterson’s level, either, I suspect the next nine months will bring you unprecedented opportunities to improve your financial situation. For best results, edge your way toward doing more of what you love to do.

and I can diminish our contributions to this mess, though we must overcome the temptation to think our personal efforts will be futile. Can we really help save the world by buying secondhand goods, shopping at farmer’s markets, and curbing our use of paper? Maybe a little. And here’s the bonus: We enhance our mental health by reducing the waste we engender. Doing so gives us a more graceful and congenial relationship with life. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to meditate and act on this beautiful truth.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Addressing a lover, D. H. Lawrence said that “having you near me” meant that he would “never cease to be filled with newness.” That is a sensational compliment! I wish all of us could have such an influence in our lives: a prod that helps arouse endless novelty. Here’s the good news, Taurus: I suspect you may soon be blessed with a lively source of such stimulation, at least temporarily. Are you ready and eager to welcome an influx of freshness?

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Humans have been drinking beer for at least 13,000 years and eating bread for 14,500. We’ve enjoyed cheese for 7,500 years and popcorn for 6,500. Chances are good that at least some of these four are comfort foods for you. In the coming weeks, I suggest you get an ample share of them or any other delicious nourishments that make you feel well-grounded and deep-rooted. You need to give extra care to stabilizing your foundations. You have a mandate to cultivate security, stability, and constancy. Here’s your homework: Identify three things you can do to make you feel utterly at home in the world.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): On Instagram, I posted a favorite quote from poet Muriel Rukeyser: “The world is made of stories, not atoms.” I added my own thought: “You are made of stories, too.” A reader didn’t like this meme. He said it was “a nightmare for us anti-social people.” I asked him why. He said, “Because stories only happen in a social setting. To tell or hear a story is to be in a social interaction. If you’re not inclined toward such activities, it’s oppressive.” Here’s how I replied: “That’s not true for me. Many of my stories happen while I’m alone with my inner world. My nightly dreams are some of my favorite stories.” Anyway, Cancerian, I’m offering this exchange to you now because you are in a story-rich phase of your life. The tales coming your way, whether they occur in social settings or in the privacy of your own fantasies, will be extra interesting, educational, and motivational. Gather them in with gusto! Celebrate them!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Author A. Conan Doyle said, “It has long been my axiom that the little things are infinitely the most important.” Spiritual teacher John Zabat-Zinn muses, “The little things? The little moments? They aren’t little.” Here’s author Robert Brault’s advice: “Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.” Ancient Chinese sage Lao-Tzu provides a further nuance: “To know you have enough is to be rich.” Let’s add one more clue, from author Alice Walker: “I try to teach my heart to want nothing it can’t have.”

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “I don’t believe that in order to be interesting or meaningful, a relationship has to work out — in fiction or in real life.”

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): I hope that in the coming weeks, you will wash more dishes, do more laundry and scrub more floors than you ever have before. Clean the bathrooms with extra fervor, too. Scour the oven and refrigerator. Make your bed with extreme precision. Got all that, Scorpio? JUST KIDDING! Everything I just said was a lie. Now here’s my authentic message: Avoid grunt work. Be as loose and playful and spontaneous as you have ever been. Seek record-breaking levels of fun and amusement. Experiment with the high arts of brilliant joy and profound pleasure.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Dear Sagittarius the Archer: To be successful in the coming weeks, you don’t have to hit the exact center of the bull’s-eye every time — or even anytime. Merely shooting your arrows so they land somewhere inside the fourth or third concentric rings will be a very positive development. Same is true if you are engaged in a situation with metaphorical resemblances to a game of horseshoes. Even if you don’t throw any ringers at all, just getting close could be enough to win the match. This is one time in your life when perfection isn’t necessary to win.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I suspect you are about to escape the stuffy labyrinth. There may be a short adjustment period, but soon you will be running half-wild in a liberated zone where you won’t have to dilute and censor yourself. I am not implying that your exile in the enclosed space was purely oppressive. Not at all. You learned some cool magic in there, and it will serve you well in your expansive new setting. Here’s your homework assignment: Identify three ways you will take advantage of your additional freedom.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Though my mother is a practical, sensible person with few mystical propensities, she sometimes talks about a supernatural vision she had. Her mother, my grandmother, had been disabled by a massive stroke. It left her barely able to do more than laugh and move her left arm. But months later, on the morning after grandma died, her spirit showed up in a pink ballerina dress doing ecstatic pirouettes next to my mother’s bed. My mom saw it as a communication about how joyful she was to be free of her wounded body. I mention this gift of grace because I suspect you will have at least one comparable experience in the coming weeks. Be alert for messages from your departed ancestors.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “Those who know the truth are not equal to those who love it,” said the ancient Chinese sage Confucius. Amen! Seeking to understand reality with cold, unfeeling rationality is at best boring and at worst destructive. I go so far as to say that it’s impossible to deeply comprehend anything or anyone unless we love them. Really! I’m not exaggerating or being poetical. In my philosophy, our quest to be awake and see truly requires us to summon an abundance of affectionate attention. I nominate you to be the champion practitioner of this approach to intelligence, Pisces. It’s your birthright! And I hope you turn it up full blast in the coming weeks.

Vocalist En Ti T says it’s time to heal

Jamaica-born vocalist Kelly-Jo Williams, who goes by En Ti T, released Aug. 18 her newest single and music video “Oshun,” named after the Yoruba goddess of love, beauty and sensuality.

En Ti T is a play on entity, which isn’t necessarily profound, Williams said, but transmutable.

“I go with feeling,” she told the Charleston City Paper. “Entity is a force. Entity can be anything, and that’s how I feel. Going through all the emotions of what the word means or could mean — I felt like that was all me.”

Music had really grown on her by the time Williams got to college, she said, because she came from a musical family and a background of singing in church. Her college years in New York were spent pursuing a liberal arts education at Stony Brook University and a nursing degree at New York Institute of Technology.

Everything changed in 2012, and she left school to pursue her dream of singing. Thanks to a fortuitous Craigslist ad, she made her way to Singapore to sing in a cover band, gigging for six months.

“It opened my eyes to the world outside — I was in a little bubble of nursing, of church and things like that, which was great, but it wasn’t fulfilling me,” she said. “I was still growing, learning and getting older. It grew me as a performer. It helped me perfect a little bit more of my performance style on stage and feel more free and open and not be shy and reserved or sing a song in one way.”

After music endeavors in Singapore, China, Morocco and Australia, she settled down in Charleston in 2016 and performed as a vocalist with Free Ride Band of Charleston for three years. Since then, she’s performed regularly in the wedding entertainment circuit and connected with many local musicians, which eventually led her to her Wednesday night residency at The Commodore downtown.

The next level

For Williams, being a vocalist helps her channel what is going on in her life into a creative experience.

“I’m able to use my voice to convey how I’m feeling, and it [takes] practice every day,” she said. “I’m able to do the song in a different tone or soften it up with certain styles and it helps to mature my voice.”

Currently, she’s focused on recording her sophomore album, NTR the TMPL (“enter the temple”), which will follow her debut selftitled album EN.TI.T.

The “Oshun” music video features peaceful scenes cloaked in natural light with a vibrant backdrop of green grass and leaves as En Ti T’s sings about the paths of romance and healing.

Above a tranquil, percussive beat, her voice expounds and unravels, drawing the listener to reflect on how the aspects of the goddess Oshun show up in their lives. The lo-fi R&B song rotates melodic verses with spoken-word interjections, as En Ti T considers if her love interest is the right match and ruminates on the meaning of Oshun’s overflowing passion.

“Oshun is all around us,” En Ti T explains in between verses. “She is the energy that lights up a room; the water you prepare to spiritually bathe in; your favorite cologne or perfume. She is the way you kiss your lover.”

Briefly, there is a glimmer of a black screen with the words “Divine lies within for those willing to seek” before returning to the supple, graceful scenes of En Ti T.

Her last spoken word leaves the listener with an abundant image: “As we explore beauty, love and femininity, we know that there are many lessons and many blessings — this is Oshun.”

Taking time for self care and meditation is a daily practice for Williams, who just completed her 200-hour yoga teacher training. While her coming album will vary stylistically, she said, it will incorporate chants and affirmations with messages focusing on the spiritual aspects of self love.

“Throughout these last few years, I’ve been doing personal studies and joining groups and courses that deal with the feminine arts,” she said.

“I like to dive into spirituality, so I’ve been learning about Hinduism, Buddhism and other spiritualities that resonate with me. I am tapping into my priestess energy — that soft, reflective light. I believe that I’m a temple, that the world around me is a temple. Thinking about life in a very sacred way helps me to deal with the challenges of every day.”

At this moment in her life, Williams said she feels like she’s breaking out as an artist.

“I think that’s because I’m ready to take the risks that are involved in it,” she said. “Sharing your music, sharing your art is hard. You’re always concerned about what people are going to think or how it looks — but I feel like I’m flowing. I’m ready.

“The best thing is to just come from your heart. That’s why the music that I write is very personable. I’m still always going to be on my spiritual journey.”

20th birthday bash for Red’s Ice House spotlights

S.C.’s McCain

Unless you’ve been living under a rock (or are under the age of 25), you’ve probably heard the top 40 hit “I’ll Be” by Edwin McCain. It turns out Dianne and Cecil Crowley, the owners of Red’s Ice House in Mount Pleasant, are like second parents to the Charleston-born musician.

McCain will perform Aug. 27 at Red’s Ice House’s special 20th anniversary party to celebrate the restaurant’s milestone. The Crowleys have operated the place since June 2004.

Dianne Crowley said she’s looking forward to making more memories at Red’s birthday party with McCain, who’s been playing at her establishments for the past 30 years.

“We’re celebrating the fact that Red’s has considered ourselves to be as local as it gets from the day we opened, and we’re proud of that,” she told the Charleston City Paper. “So our 20th birthday is going to be a celebration of local music, local specials, local prizes and the local love that we have for this beautiful area that we live in.”

And Red’s wasn’t the couple’s first restaurant rodeo. The Crowleys founded the Wild Wings Cafe franchise in 1990 with the first location in Hilton Head Island, followed in 1992 by a second location on North Market Street in downtown Charleston. Crowley said she and her husband went on to own 13 of the 37 locations within the franchise.

McCain remembers early days

McCain played a role in the couple’s early ventures, too.

“My story goes all the way back to 1992 when I met Cecil and Dianne in Hilton Head,” McCain told the City Paper. “I started playing for them at the original Wild Wings. And they are like second parents. I played there three nights a week.

“As my career grew, they started opening more Wild Wings in the Southeast. When they opened a Wild Wings, I would go play it for a week or two. As their empire grew, my career grew. We’ve been lifelong friends. [Dianne said she was] throwing this big hoorah at Red’s and asked me if I would play it — and I said, ‘I wouldn’t miss it for the world.’ ”

McCain, who splits time between his Greenville and James Island residences, said he’s been playing with his band’s lead guitarist Larry Chaney for 27 years.

“He said something so perfect for why we keep doing it,” McCain said. “He said, ‘For whatever the time is that we’re on stage, we become the ambassadors of possibility.’ … It’s an interesting dynamic. And once you’ve done it for as long as we have, it’s hard to imagine a life without it.”

The Red’s Ice House anniversary party kicks off with live music at 1 p.m. Aug. 27. The bill features McCain and his long-time

fellow musicians Rotie Salley and Mitchell Lee. Charleston act The Midnight City Band will close the show.

The weekend also features live musical performances by The Quentin Ravenel Experience Aug. 25 and Grayson Little and Keys & Co. Aug. 26.

“Thank you to everybody in Charleston,” McCain said. “Charleston has been so supportive and so incredibly kind to us over the 30-plus years we’ve been playing. It’s such a great place for music. Lifelong gratitude.”
