The federal Department of Justice is looking into multiple inmate deaths at the Sheriff Al Cannon Detention Center

Jail health care still under scrutiny, but may be improving, officials claim

News 11.17.2023

By Lily Levin

Charleston County’s jail — now under investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice for eight deaths of incarcerated people in recent months — has turned the corner on inmate health thanks to a recent county agreement with a new for-profit medical care provider, officials say. But companies that provide such care often have plenty of skeletons in their closets.

In the five months that the Sheriff Al Cannon Detention Center (SACDC) has been using Vitalcore Health Strategies to provide medical care, the county has had no reports of non-compliance with medical quality standards, said Charleston County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Amber Allen.

Compare that to the 63 reports highlighted in a Freedom of Information request between May 2022 and March 2023 when another company, Wellpath, was providing health services.

“I think I can speak for the agency as a whole that we have been very pleased,” Allen said, praising Vitalcore for its mental health team. “We do take the health care of the people in our facility very seriously.”

The local jail is a pretrial center, which means the vast majority of people in custody, by law, are presumed innocent. Many cannot afford to pay bail. A disproportionate number are homeless or struggle with mental illness or substance addiction. The jail in January 2023 reported that of the 998 adults it housed, only 36 had been sentenced.

The North Charleston jail has used

for-profit medical providers since 1996 to staff the infirmary and employ necessary medical practitioners who provide services for which the company is liable.

Vitalcore Health Systems has been under contract with the county since May 8, after the county’s agreement with previous provider Wellpath expired, and the company came under fire for numerous reports of medical neglect and quality non-conformance.

Vitalcore claims to be better than many companies in its industry.

“We have had a total of only 54 lawsuits,” the company said in its Charleston County proposal earlier this year. This is, according to Vitalcore, “unheard of.”

Vitalcore also claimed the company has made material improvements at the jail since its contract started.

“Since July, we have increased staffing by over 45% by hiring licensed health care providers from the surrounding community.

Our contract requires 44 staff. We currently have 43 full-time staff, as well as three parttime and nine PRN [as Luke needed] staff hired,” it noted in a statement this week to the Charleston City Paper.

SACDC Detention Captain Ezzard Luke, however, said jail personnel, including the health care workers, change frequently,

resulting in a facility-wide staffing shortage.

This week, the company was looking on Indeed for nine new staff members to fill six different positions — with Registered Nurse, Licensed Nurse Practitioner and psychiatrist listed as “urgently hiring.”

Deaths, conditions prompt jail investigation

The U.S. Department of Justice, however, isn’t as satisfied overall. On Nov. 2, it announced an investigation into SACDC due to ongoing concern about, among other things, the physical and mental health care the facility has provided. Since 2022, there have been eight reported deaths inside its walls.

Allen told the City Paper there’s a potentially complicating factor with providing health services at the jail: People who are arrested don’t usually enter jail in the best condition.

One person in custody died in the few months Vitalcore has worked at SACDC: 42-year-old Quinn Connor. The cause of death is still undetermined, pending results of an autopsy investigation, but documents state Connor didn’t get up for his 7:30 a.m. breakfast. He was covered by a blanket, documents stated, but this behavior allegedly was common. At 11:50 a.m., another incarcerated individual went to check in on him, but Connor was not conscious. He was declared dead 25 minutes later.

Three Charleston-area elections are heading to runoffs Nov. 21, including mayor of Charleston, after candidates failed to nab 50% of the vote in the Nov. 7 general election.

Incumbent Mayor John Tecklenburg is running for his third term against challenger William Cogswell. In Charleston City Council District 9, William Tinkler and Mike Gastin are vying for the seat held by outgoing councilman Peter Shahid, who gave up the seat to run for mayor.

Voters in Folly Beach elected Katherine Houghton and Chris Bizzell to two of the three open City Council seats, but a runoff between Billy Grooms and Ann Peets will determine the third seat.

Polls are open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Constituent school boards not targeted by Moms for Liberty, members say

By Herb Frazier and Skyler Baldwin As the Moms-for-Liberty-backed majority faction within the Charleston County School District (CCSD) Board of Trustees continues to run the show, it seems that either the group has not yet reached, or hasn’t yet targeted, the leaders of the county’s constituent district school boards.

The county school district’s organization is unique in South Carolina, with eight constituent district boards that oversee student transfer requests and disciplinary action and inform the Board of Trustees of the well-being of district schools. This set-up has allowed trustees to focus on bigger-picture policy decisions.

“Every area is different,” said Carla Gadson, chair of the Constituent District 4, which oversees North Charleston.

“The needs of North Charleston are totally different to the needs in Ravenel or Johns Island or Gadson Mount Pleasant.

The majority of [the District 4 board] are from North Charleston. We’ve seen the changes here, and we have a better insight as to what’s going on and can better communicate to the trustees what we would like to see changed.”

Districts 4 and 10 (which oversees

Lawsuits and medical negligence

6

Like Wellpath, a few of Vitalcore’s lawsuits alleged severe medical negligence resulting in wrongful death of an incarcerated individual.

Some observers say instances of medical negligence among third-party providers might be driven by profit incentives.

Regardless of Vitalcore’s expenditures on medical services at SACDC, the county pays the provider $18.45 per day per detained

West Ashley) have the heaviest case loads, according to District 10 chair Rodney Lewis.

“We take in more kids from downtown, North Charleston, James and Johns islands and Hollywood,” he said. “We take in the majority of those kids.”

Politicization not yet set in

But while the right-wing political group Moms for Liberty (M4L) has targeted local elections and the county school board, constituent board leaders say they haven’t seen anything on their level.

However, Gadson said, the bad publicity garnered by the trustees over the last few months has negatively impacted the image of the constituent boards.

“I think it reflects on us,” she said.

“When people hear that you’re on the school board, they kind of cringe now, and we have to say, ‘No, not that school board.’

People look at us differently. There’s more scrutiny to every decision we make. People assume we have other motives.”

Conservative boards across the country have come under fire for attempting to ban books or alter curriculum that they see as inappropriate.

“Moms for Liberty does not want to touch anything we do,” Lewis said. “Moms for Liberty is trying to control the education system. They want to control what is taught, the books that are read and the curriculum. They want to whitewash eduperson. Essentially, Vitalcore’s surplus revenue comes from the difference between this flat rate and the amount it spends providing care to its patients. And, according to a report in the New York University Law Review, under this system, “the easiest way to keep costs down is to deny care.” Or, the less a company like Vitalcore spends, the more it profits.

Vitalcore doesn’t hide its cost-saving measures. The group claimed it “has reduced off-site emergency costs at our other contract sites by as much as 30%,” saving its clients large amounts of money and generating a considerable revenue. While the company, established in 2015, rejected the ideal of “excessive profit,” it is currently churning out $325 million annually — a number it expects in 2025 to be more than $500 million.

And although Vitalcore cuts costs and increases profit margins, the company said it doesn’t cut corners: “Offsite emergency care will always be ordered when our professionals determine that it is necessary.”

cation, especially history. The constituent board responsibilities have become so narrow that they don’t handle anything that relates to education,” he said.

Room for improvement

Though the constituent boards have not had to deal with the politicization of the district, there is still room for improve-

Origin of problems

Charleston County has acknowledged in its call for contractor proposals that the standard of care provided by companies such as Vitalcore is fundamentally limited.

“Providing the entire inmate population with competent, professional medical care and treatment within the narrow budget constraints is, and will likely remain, a challenge given the banality of special needs of inmates,” the county said.

Ninth Circuit Public Defender Cameron Blazer, who represents many incarcerated clients, spoke of another problem.

“We sometimes get reports and medical records that reflect a client refused treatment,” she said, which doesn’t match the client’s testimony.

Blazer added there’s a “cultural inclination beyond the confines of jail to give a lot of credit and credibility to medical professionals.” This is compounded by “an

ment, Lewis said. But several boards are working to make a bigger impact in their districts. For example before Lewis joined the board in 2003, he said, there were no Black members.

“We needed representation that looks like us because there were more of us going before these boards than people who didn’t look like us,” he said.

But Stewart, who previously served on the board for 10 years before taking a fouryear break and returning again in 2022, said he is seeing his district slip.

“I see a nonchalant attitude,” he said. “‘Let’s get the meeting over with so we can go home.’ We have not had a single person from the public attend any of our meetings. I don’t know if that is due to the fact that [meeting times are] not advertised.

“I think our board should be more of an advocate for the community. They could be the ears on the ground for the people in the community. It has been very frustrating.” inclination to discredit people who are involuntarily incarcerated.”

The public defender’s reports are corroborated by a documented 2020 National Commission on Correctional Healthcare violation. It stated there was “no evidence of signed informed consent for dental care or for psychotropic medications, nor was there evidence of signed patient refusals of examinations or witness signatures.”

And according to Blazer, denying care to incarcerated people is against the best interests of everyone. SACDC is a pretrial facility, so most people will, at some point, re-enter society. And if their conditions aren’t initially treated, they might become chronic, which equals harder to treat — and a lot more expensive.

She said of those who “can’t bother to care” about incarcerated folks: “I would hope they would at least muster to care about their own pocketbooks.”

Visit Santa at the Best Friend Train Museum Nov. 24 to Dec. 23

Train Museum hosts new Charleston Santa attraction From staff reports Explore Charleston and the Children’s Museum of the Lowcountry have a new collaborative attraction starting Nov. 24 that brings the Charleston Santa Claus, a South Carolina version of St. Nick, to town.

The Best Friend Train Museum — located between the downtown visitor center and the Children’s Museum — will give residents the opportunity to check out the Charleston Santa, a South Carolina version of Father Christmas.

Each weekend between Thanksgiving and Christmas, Santa Claus will greet and take photos with local children inside The Best Friend Train Museum on John Street.

Attendees will receive a commemorative photo of the experience, which is free, though reservations are required.

Explore Charleston, which is the area’s visitors’ bureau, said the offering was created to provide a magical holiday experience and encourage educational opportunities around the Best Friend of Charleston train, America’s first passenger steam locomotive.

“In conversations with the Children’s Museum of the Lowcountry, we saw an opportunity to bring additional attention to the Best Friend of Charleston while simultaneously creating a quality experience for our community and visitors that adds to the magic of the Charleston area during the holidays,” said Helen Hill, CEO of Explore Charleston.

Because it is the season of giving, the attraction will also host a toy drive in support of children in need.

Guests are encouraged to donate new, unwrapped toys, which the Explore Charleston and the Children’s Museum will give to national nonprofit Toys for Tots.

“It is sometimes challenging for parents during the holidays to find ways to instill in young children the importance of giving to others,” said Karen Coltrane, president and CEO of the Children’s Museum of the Lowcountry. “So, we were thrilled that Explore Charleston looked to us to bring this element to the partnership.”

A high-flying alien in a space saucer zips by the moon in award-winning cartoonist Steve Stegelin’s latest poster for PechaKucha 44.

This latest installment of show and tell for Charleston’s creative class is set for 8 p.m.

Nov. 29 at the Charleston Music Hall.

“It’s been an honor to be a regular contributor of poster designs to help celebrate and promote PechaKucha Charleston,” Stegelin said. “Hearing from creatives of all stripes — visual artists, writers, musicians, chefs, designers of every type — is always an inspiration.

“I leave every event reinvigorated, buzzing with an injection of the creative juices that make Charleston special. It’s also often an affirming reminder of how, no matter the medium, there are common struggles shared by all artists and creative types. All told, it’s a fantastic celebration of Charleston’s undercurrent of creativity, highlighting how art, ideas and inspiration are all around us.”

To date, more than 350 creative Charlestonians have waxed poetic in presentations limited to 400 seconds to describe their careers, inspirations, hopes and dreams. But Stegelin, who has been penning snarky cartoons for the Charleston City Paper for years, has more posters for the PK series than anyone else, said organizer Terry Fox of Charleston Arts Festival.

“Number 44 is also notable as featuring the fourth poster design by City Paper’s resident genius-artist, Steve Stegelin, having previously done designs for numbers 12, 32 and 37,” Fox said. “Several other artists have designed two posters solo or as collaborations, but Steve is the titleholder for the most posters by far. I keep assuring him that I will not hit him up again, but then I lie!”

What is PechaKucha anyway?

“PechaKucha is a fun, inspiring and powerful community event,” said former participant Polly Buxton, owner of Buxton Books. “I didn’t fully grasp its importance until I had the honor of participating as a presenter and sharing the stage with such trailblazing members of our community.”

In the 20 years since PechaKucha started, there have been PK happenings in more than 1,000 cities. There are as many as 100 events each month.

Eight presenters set year

PK44, which celebrates the 15th anniversary of the series in Charleston, includes eight creatives.

“I am looking forward especially to hearing from Carrie Wooden and Jalen Williams, two of the artists recently featured in Charleston magazine’s third ‘Under the Radar’ competition, as well as Tim McManus, whose Hed Hi pop-ups are really shaking up the local ‘underground’ arts scene,” Fox said.

The full roster of presenters, who will work with PK40 veteran and emcee LaFaye and Professor Ping (Josh Silverman) on tunes, includes: • Alex Searles, artist and graphic designer; • Kip Bulwinkle, owner and photographer at Karson Photography; • Mike Brown, vocal artist, song writer, and producer; • Marcela Rabens, producer of Universal Latin News Charleston; • R.W. Smith, cast member for Finding Freedom: The Journey of Robert Smalls and PURE Theatre core ensemble member; • Carrie Wooden, collage artist and “Under the Radar” honoree; • Jalen Williams, photographer and “Under the Radar” honoree; and • Tim McManus, principal of Hed Hi Media.

Give Moms for Liberty the boot by voting for Tecklenburg, Tinkler T

Views 11.17.2023

he only real way to ensure that the right-wing extremist group Moms for Liberty doesn’t get a toehold on governance in Charleston is to vote in the Nov. 21 runoff for two reasonable, moderate leaders — John Tecklenburg for mayor and William Tinkler for city council. Their opponents, William Cogswell and Mike Gastin, respectively, are the extremist group’s preferred candidates — although its secretive leaders will squawk about that characterization until the cows come home.

Everyone in Charleston County is a firsthand witness to the narrowness, division, turmoil and dysfunction brought by candidates supported by Moms for Liberty. Just look at the Charleston County School District Board of Trustees, where five M4L-backed candidates hold a majority and use it to freeze the voices of reason. And who suffers while these petulant, elected zealots who support divisive, uberconservative positions? Our children.

Let’s not allow that kind of narrowness to infect governance in the Holy City. Even if Moms for Liberty hadn’t inserted itself in city elections — albeit quietly through dark money and stealthy text chains to try to avoid public scrutiny — the choice for Charleston’s next mayor is easy. Tecklenburg, who has eight years of solid experience and accomplishments behind him, has delivered progress to stanch flooding, build and renovate

public spaces, fund a long dreamed-for bike-walk bridge over the Ashley River and take down a controversial statue in Marion Square.

In contrast, Cogswell merely offers empty platitudes that fill the airwaves in a desperate attempt to corral more votes. He says over and over that improvements to this or that can be made, but offers little that is solid to explain what he would do as mayor. In short, he’s little more than style over substance. He presents well, but there’s little behind the headlights.

Big talk about changing Charleston rings hollow, especially when you consider how he represents developer values in a city that doesn’t need more oldschool development. And for someone who touts political acumen, he missed a whole lot of votes as an undistinguished member of the S.C. House of Representatives, where he was primary sponsor of eight bills over six years. (Zero passed.)

Cogswell’s campaign has been marked by big media buys and critical ads, but little real attention to inclusivity or diversity. On a scale of one to 10 on whether Cogswell is prepared to be mayor, we’d give him a half point only.

On Nov. 21, let’s not give Moms for Liberty the keys to our city. Reelect Mayor John Tecklenburg and elect William Tinkler in District 9.

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 infra structure and make smart climate change decisions about develop ment, 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.

GUEST OPINION

A low point for High Water Given the lineup of next year’s festival in April, we were genuinely excited for another great year of music. It was, after all, a unique opportunity to see a recently reunited Walkmen and other outstanding mid-size acts who typically bypass Charleston during their national tours (think Courtney Barnett, Kevin Morby). But the many oddities of the ticket sale execution for next spring’s festival have put the greed of the promoters ahead of the art. High Water now appears to have regressed into just another corporate festival, devoid of its once-distinctive Lowcountry charm.

The heart of our concern is the blatant prioritization of profits and increasingly distant connection to the festival’s roots as a celebration of local talent. This is most clearly exemplified by the way tickets for the High Water Festival are being sold. While we recount our personal experiences below, discussions with friends and colleagues, along with responses on High Water’s Instagram feed, revealed that our ordeal was universal.

At noon on Oct. 26, the High Water ticket pre-sale began through Front Gate Tickets, which recently You may wonder, became a subsidiary of Live Nation. Nothing short of chaos ensued. Fans initially found a message stating that as we do, how an the website couldn’t handle the traffic and asked them entire festival could to repeatedly refresh their browsers. Subsequently, those sell out during its who managed to add tickets to their cart were informed at checkout that the tickets were no longer available. pre-sale, especially Finally, after nearly two hours, fans were informed that when High Water all tickets were sold out, but they could join a waitlist.

Registering for the waitlist requires entering credit card had not sold out in information, and cards are immediately charged upon ticket availability. The waitlist fee is $30 on top of a $300 the past two years. weekend General Admission fee. Out of more than 100 people we spoke with, only two were able to secure tickets.

You may wonder, as we do, how an entire festival could sell out during its pre-sale, especially when High Water had not sold out in the past two years. While it’s possible that the headliners can expect to draw more significant crowds than in previous years, it’s also conceivable that Swiftiestyle bots played a role. Nevertheless, the waitlist system raises suspicions.

Are promoters artificially creating ticket scarcity to push fans toward the waitlist or to consider more expensive VIP ($725) and Platinum ($1,650) options? Regardless, the ticket rollout appears to reflect a greed that seems to have taken hold of what was once a local festival.

We don’t intend for this column to come across as some bitter music fans who did not score tickets to a festival they were eagerly anticipating. While we are disappointed, we are even more disheartened by the degradation of yet another Charleston event. General admission weekend tickets are now priced more than 100% higher than they were when High Water first started six years ago. We’re willing to wager that the bands aren’t being paid 100% more, and event costs haven’t increased to that extent.

OPINION

Remembering Rudy Mancke, everybody’s cool uncle By Andy Brack News hit hard across the state last week about the passing of South Carolina nature guide Rudy Mancke, a guy who many felt to be the cool uncle they never had.

His curiosity, patience and passion about nature opened the world of the outdoors for hundreds of thousands of people in South Carolina and across the nation.

Mancke, a Spartanburg native who for years starred in the SCETV show NatureSCene and one-minute nature segments on public radio, died Nov. 7 at age 78.

“He had an uncanny ability to present the intricate workings of the ecosystems in a way that children and adults alike could understand,” said SCETV’s Beryl Dakers, who co-created the television show in 1978. “His straightforward, folksy manner, coupled with his unbridled enthusiasm would make even the least inclined become a believer.

“His knowledge about nature was incredible. He had an insatiable curiosity about the world around us. Ever the student, he prided himself on continuing to learn something new.”

Dakers and others recalled how Mancke, attuned and attentive to finding the extraordinary in the ordinary, wouldn’t have to walk far across a simple field to engage, entice and unlock the world of bugs, native species and the cycle of life. That’s what happened in the very first television show with Dakers, who helped to haul all sorts of equipment to set up in what looked like a regular empty field.

“I don’t think we moved more than a hundred feet, but within an hour, we knew we had a show.

We called it ‘Autumn Fields’ and in 1978, the first NatureSCene program was born.”

Amanda McNulty, host of SCETV’s Making It Grow, added, “You might think you were setting out on a long trek but Rudy would see amazing plants or animals before you’d gone 10 feet.”

He also instructed people about the natural world’s cycle of life — about how plants or small animals often become food for larger animals or how when something dies, it breaks down and recycles into something else.

“He taught us how to make bookmarks from a snakeskin when we found a corn snake that had been hit by a car,” McNulty recalled. “We recycled that snake into Christmas presents.”

Cartoonist Robert Ariail of Camden, who pens the “Lowcountry” weekly cartoon festooned with animal characters of the sort that would appear in Mancke’s shows, found his passion for nature to be infectious.

“Through his television shows and radio spots, he awakened in me a renewed appreciation for the abundance of life in our own backyards,” Ariail said.

Former Gov. David Beasley added, “His commitment, knowledge and love of nature were absolutely remarkable. He has left us so much to learn from and he will be missed.”

Adrienne Fairwell, the new president of SCETV, first met Mancke as a NatureScene intern in 1999. “[I] quickly learned his unconventional field trips would help shape the ecological perspective of nature enthusiasts in South Carolina and beyond. His curiosity and vision for sharing spanned multiple generations.”

Elaine Freeman, founder of the ETV Endowment, added, “He never lost his desire to learn about every creature, every plant, weed or wildflower and then share his joyful knowledge with the rest of us. He knew and quoted the English poets he revered and never acted like an authority. Rudy Mancke was our Pied Piper, so humble and charming, so articulate that we followed him everywhere.”

If you are thinking now about how Mancke touched your life, get up, go outside. Be amazed by what you find and think about how that cool uncle would be smiling.

Thanksgiving trifecta A DAY IN THREE PARTS

T

hanksgiving — that most American of holidays — causes visions of bountiful turkey and gravy, wild rice, sweet potatoes, dressing (or stuffing, depending on your tradition), cranberries, pecan pie, pumpkin pie, pie pie and everything in between.

“The idea of setting aside one day each year for rest, reflection and the expression of thanks has its roots in European religious traditions that came to the New World centuries ago with our earliest explorers,” Charleston Butler County Public Library historian Nic Butler writes in his awardwinning history blog. “What was once a religious tradition gradually evolved into a secular tradition, and later became enshrined in law as a national holiday.”

This year in honor of November’s annual day of thanks, we offer a Turkey Day trifecta to fill you with a little history, some good food and some things to do.

Abraham Lincoln’s Thanksgiving Proclamation set the annual celebration as the last Thursday in November CCP; Library of Congress

he first Thanksgiving in the Carolinas likely occurred more than 100 years before the English landed in Albemarle Point in 1670 in West Ashley to settle Charles Towne.

Back in 1562, the French established Charlesfort on what is now Parris Island, but it was abandoned the following year.

Three years later, the Spanish settled the island, and it became the northernmost settlement of the province of La Florida.

At its height, Santa Elena, the capital of the province, had up to 450 residents.

During this time of Spanish occupation — or earlier by the French — it’s highly likely that settlers celebrated the area’s first day of prayer and thanksgiving, which included a

On the menu

And what did they eat in those early, irregularly called Thanksgivings? Whatever could be foraged. They had access to all sorts of wild game, including deer, turkeys, herons and ducks. And while seafood was readily accessible, fish, crabs, oysters and shrimp likely weren’t big on the menu, said Martha Zierdan, The Charleston Museum’s curator of historical archaeology, in a 2022 interview.

“Other types of wildlife that settlers ate included alligators and different kinds of turtles, such as diamondback terrapins and loggerheads,” the story said. “Zierdan gave an example of one usual offering: a roasted turtle served in the shell and topped with a pie crust.”

As early as 1686, Huguenot Jean Boyd wrote in a letter how settlers ate “bear and tigers (wildcat), as well as stags and wild turkeys. He also listed ‘quantities of ducks, teal, wild geese, wood cocks, two or three types of snipe, sea larks and cormorant … very good rabbits and hares and squirrels.’”

Timeline

Until the Civil War, Thanksgiving generally was a “moveable feast,” celebrated when called by leaders of the state. Here are some other historical dates associated with thanksgivings in the Lowcountry: Oct. 17, 1706 – “Earliest recorded observance of a day of public thanksgiving in the English colony … which was approximately six weeks after our militia forces defeated an invasion force of Spanish and French soldiers,” Butler wrote.

1745 – A public thanksgiving of a British victory over the French at Cape Breton.

March 13, 1760 – Gov. William-Henry Lyttelton proclaimed a thanksgiving “for disappointing the boundless ambition of France” and the defeat of the French army in Canada.

1776 – A day of thanks for the patriots’ major victory over the British on Sullivan’s Island. It’s now celebrated every June 28 here as Carolina Day. Nov. 13, 1806 – City Council resolved to have a general thanksgiving “as a mark of respect, duty and gratitude toward the Omnipotent Disposer of Events for the highly favorable situation and conspicuous point of view in which he has been pleased to place this city,” according to the City Gazette.

1815 – A general thanksgiving following a peace treaty ending the War of 1812 with the British.

November 1863 – While American presidents starting with George Washington in 1789 annually proclaimed nationally public thanksgivings, President Abraham Lincoln set the annual celebration as the last Thursday in November.

November 1941 – President Franklin Roosevelt signed a law establishing Thanksgiving as a national public holiday on the fourth Thursday of the month.

So as you’re giving thanks this year, remember the four centuries of Thanksgiving history in the Lowcountry. And don’t forget to eat your vegetables, too. —Andy Brack

Skip the turkey this Thanksgiving

he minute a recipe requires you to remove a dead animal’s innards is usually the minute you start thinking, “Is this really worth it?” A timehonored tradition, the Thanksgiving turkey is, for most cooks, not all that fun to cook. And for many, the turkey often plays second fiddle to the real showstoppers: sides of creamy mashed potatoes, crunchy green bean casserole and whatever itera-

tion of dressing or stuffing your family subscribes to.

Now comes the City Paper’s unofficial, supremely abridged guide to skipping the turkey this year. While the time may have run out for you to order food from a local restaurant or catering company, it’s not too late to say no to the bird and whip up these tasty side dishes instead. After all, sides are the best part of the meal.

Mexican cornbread

From CP Cuisine Editor Connelly Hardaway If being a pescetarian for five years taught me anything, it’s that salmon on Thanksgiving just doesn’t hit the same as a Virginia country ham. That’s where carb-heavy sides come in — and my mom’s cornbread hits just the spot. Simple, decadent and as spicy as you want to make it, it’s perfect for the vegetarian and veg-curious eaters in your life.

From Laurie Hardaway’s mom recipes, est. 1991. Serves 4-6.

1 cup self-rising yellow corn meal ½ cup vegetable oil ½ cup cream style corn 2 eggs 8 ounces sour cream 1 cup grated cheddar 1 chopped onion 4 ounces green chiles Optional: sliced jalapenos on top Preheat the oven to 425 F. Spray a 9x9 baking dish with cooking spray. Mix all ingredients in a large bowl and pour into the dish. Cook for 20 to 25 minutes or until a fork inserted comes out clean.

feast, after anything from a military victory, quiet hurricane season or great harvest, Butler wrote. In 1587, however, the Spanish abandoned Santa Elena so settlers could help to strengthen St. Augustine to the south.

Fast forward to the spring of 1670, when the English landed at Albemarle Point in West Ashley to create Charles Towne.

There aren’t any records that detail their first day of thanksgiving, Butler wrote. But it’s highly likely that it was about this time of year 353 years ago.

“They probably didn’t celebrate and relax right away because they needed to build shelters and plant crops, but perhaps six months later, say in November 1670, after surviving the initial adventures associated with launching a new colony, I suspect they finally treated themselves to a day of rest and thanksgiving.”

Yummy yam souffle

By Nathalie Dupree

From the archives: City Paper chatted with awardwinning cookbook author Nathalie Dupree in 2021 and got the deets on an easy, light dish of yam souffle. And if you insist on cooking up a bird, she has a “fast unstuffed turkey” recipe available online.

From Nathalie Dupree’s Southern Memories, 1993.

Serves 4-6.

2 28-ounce cans yams 3 large eggs, lightly beaten to mix 1 cup sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract ½ teaspoon salt Topping 1 cup chopped pecans ½ cup sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract ½ cup all-purpose flour 2 tablespoons butter, melted ¼ cup flaked coconut Preheat the oven to 375 F. Drain the yams, reserving about 1½ cups liquid. In a large bowl, mash the yams with 1 cup reserved liquid, adding more if needed for a smooth consistency. Add the eggs, sugar, vanilla and salt; mix well, and pour into a greased casserole dish.

In a small bowl, mix the pecans, sugar, vanilla, flour, butter and coconut. Crumble over the top of the casserole and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Serve hot. Note: This dish can be made in advance and frozen.

Lowcountry seafood dressing By local chef Amethyst Ganaway

One of my favorite dishes for Thanksgiving is seafood dressing. There’s a difference in dressing and stuffing — dressing is made with the drippings (and often the giblets, gizzards and other bits) of your holiday bird and cooked in its own dish. Stuffing, however, is made inside of the bird itself.

My family has always stayed away from stuffing, as many people undercook their birds, which can lead to people getting seriously ill. My great grandmother also told us that cooking anything inside of the bird will only cause the bird (and the stuffing) to spoil more quickly. With the abundance of seafood that surrounds the Lowcountry, I enjoy seafood dressing over the regular stuff, and I’ll take homemade dressing over anything out of a box!

HOW TO MAKE IT I make my dressing from scratch with homemade cornbread (but boxed is fine and depending on how many people you’re serving you may want to make 1 to 2 pans), and I let it sit out a day or two to get stale.

Then, I crumble it in pieces and set it aside while I gently saute crab meat, chopped shrimp and oysters with the holy trinity of onion, celery and green bell peppers — all local. I save the oyster liquor specifically as well to add to the dressing.

Once everything is cooked and cooled, I add it to the crumbled cornbread, add the oyster liquor and any reserved drippings from the bird (or cooking stock), and mix it gently by hand. Some folks like to add a little chopped boiled egg, but I usually save that for dressing made with just poultry. Then I season to taste, usually with kosher salt, black pepper, poultry seasoning and a mix of a few fresh herbs such as thyme and a little rosemary. Next, taste the mixture before adding to an oiled or buttered baking dish.

The key to fluffy, not dense and not dry dressing, is threefold: Don’t over-mix. Don’t add too much liquid. And don’t bake too long. I bake my dressing at 350 F until it’s golden brown on top and set in the middle where a toothpick put inside will come out clean. Be sure to let the dressing sit awhile to cool before serving!

Shem Creek, Old Village bustle with activity, charm

By Diane Knich Mount Pleasant has experienced rapid suburban growth in recent years and is now the fourth-largest city or town in South Carolina.

The town, along with nearby Sullivan’s Island and Isle of Palms, is home to more than 100,000 people. The area is known for suburban housing developments, restaurants, bars, parks and shopping of all kinds. But at its heart is the historic Old Village and thriving Shem Creek.

The Old Village is bounded by the Charleston Harbor on the west side, Whilden Street on the east, marshland to the south and the bustling Shem Creek area to the northwest. The village, established in the early 1800s, has varied architecture, some of

which dates back to the 1700s.

Head to the area and make it an action-packed day visit, exploring all of the history, outdoor adventure, food, drink and shopping that the village and creek have to offer. Or come for several shorter, more manageable visits. Either way, most

people come back for more.

Living and strolling

One of the many appealing things about the Old Village is that it provides a sense of community for residents as well as adventures for visitors and tourists. Writer and editor Stephanie Hunt has been living in the village for the past 30 years. She can get just about everything she needs without leaving the neighborhood, including fish at Abundant Seafood and produce at the farmers market at Moultrie Middle School.

“It’s self-contained.” she said. “It’s old school. It’s bikeable and walkable.”

Taking a walk or bike ride around the village is a great way to start a visit. Make sure to get down to the Pitt Street Bridge, a linear park with stunning views of the

Charleston Harbor where the bridge once connected to Sullivan’s Island.

The neighborhood has changed some over the years, Hunt said. Housing prices have escalated. Some of the older structures have been torn down to make way for newer, more modern architecture. And she’s concerned about the number of trees that have been removed. But it’s still beautiful, she said. “When I come home from a trip, I realize it’s a nice place to be.”

Preserving beauty, character Town Councilman Howard Chapman said he thinks the town needs to say no more often to people who want to cut down historic trees. And town leaders are working to preserve the historic character of the area.

“We’re making it harder to tear down houses in the Old Village,” he said. That’s being accomplished through zoning that

encourages repairs to existing structures, he said. And those efforts are beginning to pay off. That’s essential, he said. “The Old Village is part of the beauty and history of Mount Pleasant.”

Outdoor adventure

The town, along with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and others, also worked successfully to restore Crab Bank, a small island in the Charleston Harbor near the mouth of Shem Creek. In its second year since restoration, the seabird sanctuary is home to black skimmers, American oystercatchers and many other birds, Chapman said.

You can see the island from the Old Village’s Alhambra Hall and other places, or take a boat and get a closer view.

on Shem Creek, said the restored Crab Bank is “a tourist draw, a million-dollar baby.” And the project “proves that nature and industry don’t have to be mutually exclusive. It’s a workable balance.”

Heading up to Shem Creek at the northwestern end of the historic district is a great way to find an afternoon of outdoor adventure. His company rents kayaks and stand-up paddleboards and does various boat tours.

Shem Creek is also a place to see a few shrimp boats, dolphins and even manatees, Crolley said. And Shem Creek Park at the mouth of the waterway is a great place for a stroll along the boardwalks.

“I can’t imagine what Mount Pleasant would be without the creek,” he said.

“Shem Creek leads to the ocean. It’s an outlet to the rest of the world.”

Food and drink to enjoy

While Coastal Expeditions focuses on nature, many other businesses focus on food, drinks and entertainment. Many popular restaurants line the creek, including Water’s Edge, Tavern & Table, Red’s Ice House, Saltwater Cowboys and Vickery’s Bar & Grill.

Dianne Crowley, owner of Red’s, said people in the area are lucky to have a working creek in the middle of Mount Pleasant.

“The fact that we are on the water puts us in a different arena because it brings all of the amenities that city life brings you, and it opens you to all of the beautiful wildlife at your fingertips, like the dolphin swimming beside you while you are at your dinner table.”

Yes, Shem Creek is a great place for lunch or dinner and drinks, although parking can be challenging. Bring your cell phone because some parking requires using QR codes.

Shopping

Finally, no day trip to the Old Village would be complete without doing some shopping. Lisa Thomas is an Old Village resident and owner of Out of Hand, an eclectic gift, housewares and clothing store that she describes as “a mini department store with quirky things.”

Thomas says her store on Pitt Street has something in common with other stores in the Old Village.

“It’s small, intimate and a place to make real connections.”

People can find Old Village businesses just by roaming around, she said. And once they walk in, they often become friends with merchants.

It’s a different kind of customer relationship, she said. “I’m very fortunate to live and work in this special place.”

A la carte What’s new

Jason Stanhope’s new restaurants, Lowland and the Quinte, are now open.

The former FIG chef left his role at the award-winning restaurant this summer.

He joined hospitality company Method Co. to re-open the oyster bar, the Quinte, located in the Pinch hotel, and open Lowland on George Street.

The restaurant at Paradiso is now open. Formerly known as the Mixson Bath & Racquet Club, the North Charleston property has been completely renovated by Success Street Hospitality. Chefs Julio Hermenejildo and Patricia Van Hoorick have created a menu inspired

by French and Caribbean cuisine. The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner Wednesday through Saturday and for weekend brunch.

LoLA Mount Pleasant is now open at 1036 Chuck Dawley Blvd., in the former location of Mustard Seed. LoLA’s original location in Park Circle remains open and both restaurants are slinging Cajun and Creole food. The Mount Pleasant location is open 4 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Tuesdays through Saturdays.

GrowFood Carolina’s new director discusses next chapter Change, pivot, grow

“I was ready for a daytime role,” he said of his eventual career change. When a Charleston City Paper article announced the formation of GrowFood Carolina, he reached out about a job. “It seemed like something objectively good for the state itself.”

The presence of GrowFood Carolina is impossible to miss in Charleston: Its trucks and sprinters constantly crisscross the area; its name is mentioned by countless restaurants as a proud partner and purveyor. Launched by the Coastal Conservation League in 2011, the food hub nurtures local, small-scale agriculture by connecting growers to the larger market.

Now more than a decade in, a change in leadership marks the start of a new chapter.

In July, director Anthony Mirisciotta announced his departure after nearly

four and a half years, and longtime team member Benton Montgomery was named as his interim (and later official) replacement.

The transition came naturally: Montgomery was one of the nonprofit’s first employees. “I’ve been in these walls for so long, and I care so much about this group of growers,” Montgomery said.

After graduating from the University of South Carolina, he moved to Charleston for a role with All In Entertainment, the former proprietor of the Music Farm.

Montgomery spent the next four years wrangling talent and driving between venues across the Carolinas.

In those early days, the small operation was all-hands-on-deck.

“It was just myself, Bob Tremayne and Sarah Clow. I learned what I could from the ground floor,” Montgomery said.

In time, his focus shifted from making deliveries in the food hub’s single Kia Soul to grower communication and routing, and GrowFood became a real force — not only for growers, restaurants and markets in Charleston, but in Columbia, Greenville, Savannah and beyond. “I saw the second cooler go in, then the third,” he said. “The CONTINUED ON PAGE 22

Last week, Eater, a national food website by Vox Media, announced its list of the 12 Best New Restaurants in America 2023, including Charleston’s own Kultura. According to Eater, the list was compiled with more than great food in mind. After years of successful pop-ups, chef Nikko Cagalanan, along with Baguette Magic co-owner Paula Kramer, opened Kultura (the Filipino word for “culture”), on Spring Street this summer.

In addition to roasted oysters, guests can purchase food from food trucks and, of course, specialty Firefly cocktails, bloody marys and beer. The fun starts at 11 a.m.

Walking into the Bar & Patio at Husk feels a little like skipping the line at a popular downtown club: You’re about to be a part of the fun, and you’re not quite sure how you got so lucky.

An extension of the uber popular Husk Restaurant, the Bar & Patio at Husk recently renovated its outdoor seating area and updated its menu. The best part? You don’t need a reservation to grab a seat. Guests can head inside the century-old bar or snag a table outside under a louvered pergola.

General manager Steven Chandler noted that the patio is a “level up” from what the outside space once was, and chef Ray England’s updated bar menu reflects that. Toeing the line between elevated and approachable, Husk’s bar menu hones in on salty goods from land and sea, featuring a small, curated selection of oysters and ham.

Charleston Wine + Food Festival celebrates community members

By Helen Mitternight Toiling in the food and beverage industry is often a thankless task. Charleston Wine + Food Festival wants to change that by recognizing those whose contributions have made an impact with the Community Impact Awards.

The awards are the reimagined program that used to kick off the festival with a ceremony on a stage. Covid put a pause to the awards, and the festival wanted to better showcase the recipients. The hope is that the awards will inspire others in the industry and provide an additional chance to raise funds to keep the festival’s community work alive.

“The people who work the festival are so busy the whole time, we wanted to provide an opportunity for them to really celebrate the awardees, make connections and inspire the next generation,” said Alyssa Maute Smith, the festival’s executive director.

The awards were presented at a luncheon on Nov. 13 to three individuals and an organization:

Anthony DiBernardo, owner of Swig & Swine

“He continues to show up for the community time and time again, and he gives back in so many different ways, utilizing food as a way to give back,” Maute Smith said.

Joseph Fields, owner of Joseph Fields Farm

“I think he will have quite literally fed everyone in that room at one point. He is a multi-generational farmer, and the work he has done with farmers markets, making locally grown food accessible to the local community, shows up all the time,” Maute Smith said.

Dr. Mary Thornley, Trident Technical College

“She recently announced her retirement, but the festival and Trident Tech have such an intertwined history. Our offices were originally there, and she was such a huge force in helping get this off the ground. When Johnson & Wales left the market, she had the foresight to put in culinary facilities at the college to enhance our culinary and hospitality training,” Maute Smith said.

Snyder Event Rentals

Cuisine 11.17.2023

“Snyder has donated millions of dollars to local nonprofits through reduced prices.

We would not be possible without the team at Snyder. When we started in 2008, there was not a tent big enough in the market to service the festival. Snyder purchased tents to bring to the festival and now those are used not just for us, but for SEWE (Southeastern Wildlife Exposition), the bridge run and Spoleto.”

22

Winners receive a personalized engraved iron skillet from Smithey’s and publicity.

The awards help fund the festival’s workforce development programs throughout the year, including culinary scholarships, mentorships and internships, culinary high school externships, business grants and chef and beverage stipends during festival events.

Maute Smith noted that, since the program’s inception, more than $400,000 in culinary and hospitality scholarships have been awarded. The high school program began this year and 34 students put in more than 500 hours of paid onsite technical training and mentorship, working with local chefs in their kitchens and in the festival’s Culinary Village.

big truck, the sprinters. I watched us change, pivot, grow.”

Today, GrowFood’s operation is a far cry from its Kia Soul days. In December 2022, the headquarters moved from its original Morrison Drive location to a 12,000-squarefoot facility on Harmon Street, where capacity has increased exponentially.

“We’re not the new kid on the block anymore,” said Montgomery, whose responsibilities now feature more operational oversight.

Still, he benefits from the 1,000-foot view: “As a logistics junkie, the puzzle of it all is fun,” he said. “There’s always a new route, new growers, new schools. I’m constantly thinking about how to make it all work.”

New goals, refreshed commitments

Entering this new era, Montgomery’s goals for GrowFood include a refreshed commitment to the organization’s hometown.

“I want to refocus on the Charleston area, because for so long we’ve been in growth mode,” he said. “I think there’s a lot more we can do right here.”

One way this will take shape is through a more robust direct-to-consumer model, still in development. “We want to be more than a wholesale operation,” Montgomery said.

“Whether that’s a regular box program or a true farmer’s market approach, we want to connect more local folks to produce from our growers.”

Restaurants have always been part of the GrowFood fabric, but building and sustaining these relationships takes a conscious effort, too. “We’re constantly reinvesting,” Montgomery said. “As new programs pop up, we have to be forwardthinking to ensure our growers still offer something special.” As the culinary scene

evolves, partners like chef Mike Lata have been vital advisors.

“He’s been a great resource for asking questions, whether about labor situations or other shifts he’s seen.”

In recent years, GrowFood has also evolved its outreach department, partnering with food access projects in the Lowcountry. “Outreach wasn’t our focus for a long time — it was getting into the restaurants and stores,” Montgomery said.

“Creating the funds to do this has been one of our biggest shifts. It gets our staff and donors engaged and keeps us involved in the community and its needs.”

The Headstart Program is one such avenue. Each week, GrowFood sources and distributes some 700 produce boxes to students at 13 area schools.

“It’s a huge game changer, because it allows us to buy from growers in bulk,” Montgomery said. “Take collards, for instance. Most restaurants aren’t going to come to us for those. But now we’re able to get organic collards from Joseph Fields for the students, and we can serve both the kids and the product.”

The long-term investment that earned Montgomery the role is also what makes his work so rewarding. “I’ve got long-standing relationships with these growers,” he said.

“We’ve had a couple pass away; with others I’ve seen their kids grow up and go off to college. I’ve gotten to see a lot of life.”

keeps it simple with three different flavors of benne cookie ice cream sandwiches), trends fresh and light.

Since taking on his role in 2022, England has leaned on his experience helming other kitchens across the country, including downtown’s now shuttered Scarecrow and Co., and pushed Husk’s bar menu to one that focuses on dishes that are seafood and vegetable-forward.

From the snapper ceviche to the steak tartare lettuce wraps, the Bar & Patio’s bites aren’t gut-busting. Sure, you can still order the much-loved Husk burger, as well as the milk bread rolls served with sorghum butter, but the fresh offerings intentionally match the patio’s neighboring greenery.

“Utilizing ingredients from the surrounding edible garden, we have curated an entirely new menu,” Chandler said. “We

Free Will Astrology ARIES (March 21-April 19): When we experience authentic awe, our humility deepens. This is turn tends to make us kinder, smarter and more positive. So how can we stimulate awe? Among the many possible ways are gazing at magnificent art, hiking in a natural wonderland or being in the presence of a beautiful human soul. In accordance with astrological omens, I recommend that you go in quest of awe and related feelings like reverence, amazement, adoration and veneration. Your mental, physical and spiritual health will flourish in response.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): It’s the Season for Cherishing and Smoking Out Secrets. So let’s talk about the subject. 1. Some secrets are sad, haunting, even risky — and worth keeping secret. 2.

Other secrets can be beautiful, healing, and potentially life-changing if they are revealed gracefully. 3.

Some secrets are buried so deeply that only very persistent seekers dig them up. 4. Some secrets are “hidden” in plain view, and only visible to people who are clear and brave enough to identify them. I suspect you Tauruses will have a special knack for managing all types of secrets in the coming weeks, including those I mentioned.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): I hope you won’t fill yourself up with appetizers and hors d’oeuvres in the coming weeks, Gemini. My soul will be at peace if I see you save your hunger for the main courses. Your motto should be “Feasts, not snacks!” or “The Real Deal, not the pretenders!” or “The jubilee, not the distractions!” If you ever find yourself feeling halfhearted or inattentive, you’re probably not in the right situation. Here’s an affirmation to go with your mottoes: “I am liberating my divine appetite!”

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Playwright Anton Chekhov (1860–1904) is regarded as one of history’s great writers. That does not mean everything he said was wise, useful, or worthy of our attention. For example, he was once asked to give his opinion about ballet. “During the intermissions, the ballerinas stink like horses,” he replied. I hesitate to bring up such a vulgar reference, but I wanted to make a vivid point. In the coming weeks, I hope you will ignore the advice of people who don’t know what they are talking about, no matter how smart or charismatic they may be. I hope you will not attribute expertise to those who have no such expertise. I hope that as much as possible, you will rely on first-hand information, rigorous research and reliable influences.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Researchers have determined that there are two basic dispositions among tigers. One is what they call “majesty.” Creatures with this orientation tend to be dignified, imposing, and agile. The other type of tiger personality revolves around “steadiness.” This is the opposite of neuroticism, and includes the qualities of being affable, easy to get along with, and well-adjusted. I know many astrologers associate lions with you Leos, but I prefer to link you with tigers. If you agree with me, here’s my prediction: You are beginning a phase when you will be more majestic than steady — but with plenty of steadiness also available if you want it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “It is better to entertain an idea than to take it home to live with you for the rest of your life,” wrote author Randall Jarrell.

That’s decent advice, though I will add a caveat. If you entertain an idea for a while and it turns out that you love it, and you also love the beneficent effect it has on you, you may be smart to take it home to live with you. I’m guessing you Virgos are at a pivotal point in this regard. Not yet, but soon, you will know whether it will be wise to get cozier with certain influences you have been flirting with — or else decide they are not ones you want to keep.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): If I could give an award for Most Curious Genius in the World, it would be to Libran author and naturalist Diane Ackerman. She would also get my prize for Most Voracious Learner and Best Questioner and Most Exuberant Seeker and Searcher. “To hear the melody,” she writes, “we must hear all the notes.”

By Rob Brezsny

In response to the question, “What is life?” she offers this answer: “corsages and dust mites and alligator skin and tree-frog serenades and foreskins and blue hydrangeas and banana slugs and war dances and cedar chips and bombardier beetles.”

In accordance with current astrological omens, I encourage you to be like Diane Ackerman in the coming weeks.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Have you located any of your soul twins? If not, is that an interesting prospect for you? Please note that soul twins are not necessarily the same as dream lovers. They may simply be people with whom you share deep values and perspectives. They might aspire to influence the world in ways similar to you. With a soul twin, you feel at home in the world and extra happy to be yourself. I bring these meditations to your attention, Scorpio, because the coming months will be an especially likely time for you to encounter and engage with soul twins. Be on the alert!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Composer Ludwig van Beethoven (1770–1827) was charismatic and forceful, but also hot-tempered and prone to rude behavior. The writer Goethe, his contemporary, said “his talent amazed me,” and described him as an “utterly untamed personality.” Beethoven seldom lived in one home for very long and loved to sing at the top of his lungs as he washed himself. Although he played piano with exquisite skill, he was quite clumsy as he moved through the world. Can you guess what astrological sign he was? Same as you! Sagittarius! I’m not saying you are exactly like this wild, unruly genius, but you do have tendencies in that direction. And in the coming weeks, I expect you’ll be inclined to be more Beethoven-esque than usual. Please work on emphasizing the winsome aspects.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I hope you have developed good boundaries, Capricorn. I hope you are so skilled at taking care of yourself that you steadfastly refuse to let people manipulate you or hurt you. Just to make sure your discernment is working at peak levels, though, I will offer you a tip.

In the English language, we have the idiom “to rub salt in a wound,” which refers to the fact that daubing salt in an open gash in the skin makes the pain even worse. But did you know that smearing sugar in a wound is equally distressing? The metaphorical lesson is that you should be vigilant for seemingly nice, sweet people who might also violate your boundaries to hurt or manipulate you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I estimate this horoscope is worth $22,225. It has been made possible by my many years of disciplined meditations, extensive reading of holy texts and an evergrowing devotion to astrology and my readers. But here’s the fun part: You can read these words for free! No cost at all! I will, however, ask you to do something for me in return. First, give your gifts joyously and generously in the coming weeks, holding nothing back. Second, don’t be in the least concerned about whether you will receive benefits in return for your gifts. Find the sweet spot where you love bestowing blessings for no other reason except this one: You are expressing your gratitude for the miraculous life you have been given.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Do you possess gambits, tactics and knacks that we might refer to as your “bag of tricks”? I hope so, because such an asset will be extra valuable during the coming weeks. You will be wise to employ every cagey move you can imagine and call on every favor that’s owed to you and cash in on every advantage you have accrued. I don’t want you to engage in outright cheating, but I encourage you to use ploys and stratagems that have full integrity. Be on the lookout for secret shortcuts, magic cookies and wild cards.

The celebration of vintage cars, pinup fashion and Americana music returns to Park Circle Nov. 17 through Nov. 19 during the 10th annual Rockabillaque.

“We try to keep it as mid-century as possible,” said the festival’s creator, Simon Cantlon. “The music that we book is rockabilly, roots rock, honky tonk or Americana.

But it’s really eclectic, so there’s something for everybody. It’s also a great way to shine a light on Park Circle and what an amazing

neighborhood it is. All the different bars, restaurants and breweries take part and open their doors, and it’s a really fun day.”

The weekend-long festival offers a classic car show with more than 400 classic cars and bikes from before 1989 taking over the main strip on Montague Avenue. The event is free to attend, and guests can enjoy a vendors’ market with more than 70 unique artisans and makers. There’s also performances by over 30 bands from all over the U.S. and Canada.

And don’t miss the contests: Enter the

pinup contest for a chance to be crowned Miss Rockabillaque, or sign up for the best tattoos or beard and mustache competitions. Fees to enter the contests will raise funds for the Movember Foundation, a nonprofit organization which raises awareness of men’s health issues.

The celebration kicks off with a party at Commonhouse Aleworks Friday night, where guests can find this year’s special beer, a Strawberry Milkshake Cream ale, harkening to the flavors of a 1950s diner.

Starlight Motor Inn hosts a $15 ticketed pool party from noon to 3 p.m. on Sunday with music by DJ Slowcountry, cocktails, games and more.

The festival was created by Simon Cantlon, who also organizes Park Circle Pride. He CONTINUED ON PAGE 31

Home renovation shows have been around for decades, beginning with the 1979 debut of original series like This Old House, which quickly grew into a whole genre of television.

These shows are compelling for a multitude of reasons: They give viewers the confidence to update their houses with new designs, ideas or space-saving solutions, and seeing how homes are transformed (plus the domestic drama that we’ve come to love in shows like House Hunters) is both thrilling and entertaining.

This spring, a Charlestonian is making a home renovation show of her own: Erin Frederick Shepard, a Bishop England high school alum, returned to the Holy City after graduating from New York University, living abroad and having a successful career in indie film as an actress, writer and producer.

“I’ve come home to Charleston with my husband and our baby to film a real estate and renovations show right here in the Holy City,” she told the Charleston City Paper.

“It will be exclusively shot, edited and made

in Charleston, which is something that I’m super excited about.”

During the pandemic Shepard began to explore her love for real estate, interior design and renovations.

After working in indie film production in Shepard Charlotte for five years, she’s since pivoted to focus on real estate and renovations full time.

Now, Shepard will meld her filmmaking and real estate backgrounds in her coming series Charleston Reno with Erin Frederick Shepard, which is currently in the pre-production and casting stage.

The show will also tell a personal story, Shepard said.

“My husband is a Charleston native. He and I met here as teenagers, went our separate ways and then reconnected a couple of years ago. We moved back here a year ago, and we are really excited to make this our

In the late 19th century, a new and exciting type of entertainment venue was created in Belgium called the “Spiegeltent,” meaning “mirror tent” in Dutch.

A Spiegeltent is an opulent European traveling dancehall with a wooden floor, mirrored columns, stained glass windows and a velvet roof. Inside its large-but-intimate confines, all manner of artists could perform, from circus acts to burlesque and cabaret performers to orchestras and bands. It’s meant to be both an elegant and kaleidoscopic event where the audience members can experience all manner of performances in a unique but comfortable setting.

Last year, Charleston’s Gaillard Center revived the tradition with its own Spiegeltent event featuring a wide array of performers including Cracked Nuts, a team of daring acrobats and aerialists, the Gritty Glitter burlesque show and star actor and singer Sandra Bernhard.

Lissa Frenkel, the CEO of the Gaillard Center, said she is excited to present this unique experience to Charleston once again this year from Nov. 18 through Dec. 23.

“It feels like a secret bohemian space,” Frenkel Frenkel said of the Spiegeltent, “so it’s a very intimate, beautiful place in which to experience art because you’re so close to the artist, and you’re able to really interact with them on a very small scale level.”

“

For us, it’s this wonderful contrast to our larger and more formal-feeling performance that, of course, is spectacular in its own right” —Lissa Frenkel, CEO of the Gaillard Center

This year, performers include international cabaret star Meow Meow, blues vocalist and storyteller Kyshona, the multiband revue the Rockabillaque Swingin’ Holiday Spectacular (with the Hi-Jivers

Courtesy of the Gaillard Center

The Spiegeltent gives the Gaillard Center an opportunity to present more intimate performances where the audience is up close with the artists and the Screamin’ Rebel Angels) and more.

There’s also an eye-popping burlesque show packed with aerial feats and powerful vocals called “Cabaret Royale,” presented

by Underbelly, the biggest producers of Spiegeltent shows in the U.K. Frankel said the feel of the Spiegeltent event is entirely different from typical Gaillard Center performances.

“For us, it’s this wonderful contrast to our larger and more formal-feeling performance that, of course, is spectacular in its own right,” she said. “But it’s 1,800 seats, and it is a much more formal experience.”

A homegrown finale

Charlton Singleton, two-time Grammy Award-winning vocalist and trumpeter in Lowcountry Gullah band Ranky Tanky, will present the finale event, Homegrown & Nationally Known, which spotlights artists from Charleston and the South who are gaining traction nationally.

“It’s just a way of introducing some of the musicians that we have in the Lowcountry, and in the state of South Carolina in general, to some people that probably don’t know just how nationally known they are,” Singleton said. “For example, this Singleton particular year, we have Kanika Moore and Patrick Davis, and they travel all over the world performing. They are beloved all over the United States, and they are beloved in the industry by many people because of their talents.”

Moore has performed with Widespread

Panic and the popular New York prog-funk band TAUK, while Davis has made a name for himself as a rootsy country rocker who’s worked with Darius Rucker and Edwin McCain, among others.

Singleton plans to make the finale event more than just a concert. In keeping with the intimacy theme of Spiegeltent, he will present an opportunity to get to know the artists.

“I’ll come out and do a few songs,” Singleton said, “and then I’ll invite my guests out. They’ll do a few songs. We’ll have a little short interview session, so we can talk about where they’re from, how they started, some of the highlights of their careers and some of the people that they’ve worked with.”

Singleton also teased a possible nightending jam.

“As of right now, we do not have anything planned for everyone to get together at the very end,” he said. “However, with these two artists and the performances that I’ve done with them in the past, that’s something that could easily happen.”

Singleton wants to bring in more artists, many of whom have expressed interest in performing, for future editions of the concert.

“I think the Gaillard is synonymous with quality and with formality,” Frankel said. “I think we wanted to break down that second piece. While everything we do is really high quality, we’d love for folks to think about us as a space for conversation and celebration and adventurous work as well.

“That’s something that, as a brand, the institution has been working on, is making sure that across all generations, people see themselves in the Gaillard. And we think that Spiegeltent is really an attractive way to signal that.”

She looks forward to working with a local crew for the production, bringing her expertise from running her own production company in Charlotte called Spark Productions.

“Being able to produce a show in a smaller regional database is something that I’ve been very passionate about,” she said. “And so I’m very excited to get into that community in Charleston.”

Right now, Shepard is looking for home renovation clients who are interested in being featured in the show’s pilot season.

“We are looking for folks who are selling

or buying a home, and they’re interested in either updating it in order to get a better price when they’re selling it, or they want to make the home more their own after they’ve bought it.”

She pitched the show to a “well-known home renovation network,” though she didn’t want to jinx it with a premature announcement. Even if the show doesn’t get picked up by a network, Shepard said, she’s also toying with the idea of a high production quality YouTube series.

“Casting is what we’re excited about right now,” she said. Interested parties can learn more and view her renovation portfolio at fredtg.com. “And hopefully by springtime, we will be shooting our show here in Charleston!”

Rockabillaque CONTINUED FROM PAGE 28

moved to Charleston in 2011, and in 2012 co-produced the first year of a Rockabilly festival in New Mexico called “Rockabilly On The Route.” Cantlon said after his time in New Mexico, he returned home to Park Circle and decided he wanted to bring a similar celebration to his new home.

“I thought, how great it would be to see classic cars parked all along the historic main strip in the Park Circle, taking the neighborhood back in time to its days as a bustling neighborhood center?”

The idea for Rockabillaque was born: a classic car show and a celebration of midcentury Americana music and culture with Rockabilly and roots rock bands playing throughout the neighborhood. For the first festival in 2013, Cantlon worked with Scott Cloud, owner of now-closed Barbeque Joint in Park Circle — Rockabillaque (rock-a-bill-a-que) is the combined name of rockabilly-music-meets-barbecue.

That first festival drew 1,200 attendees, which Cantlon considered such a suc-

Now in its 10th year, the Charleston festival draws nearly 20,000 annual visitors of all ages. “It has grown to be the biggest festival of its kind in the Carolinas,” Cantlon said.
