County leaders working to increase public engagement in 2024

News 01.19.2024

The steady growth of Charleston County has made it more difficult — and more important — for county leaders to get people engaged and involved in local government, according to County Council Chairman Herb Sass.

“The county is a big place,” he said, emphasizing that the needs of Mount Pleasant don’t always align with the needs of North Charleston or the sea islands. Across all of its municipalities stretching 85 miles from Sass McClellanville to Edisto Island, the county boasts a population of 419,000, according to U.S. Census estimates, and as the fastest-growing county in the state, that number is expected to keep rising.

“The level of leadership we have right now is really an accomplishment between council members,” he said. “We all get elected from our own district, but I can’t get anything done if all I care about is my own district. I have to pay attention to everyone, and this is something I’ve been very adamant about since I was first elected in 2011. I’ll talk to anybody who calls me, no matter whose district you’re in. We’re all fair game. That’s the job.”

Strategic plan outlines goals The county’s draft strategic plan for 2025-2027 outlines the vision and goals for county leadership in several areas, including public engagement. County

council outlined three general goals with multiple strategies for reaching them.

The first goal is to enhance public communication and outreach, with strategies including improving online systems for user friendliness and exploring new notification systems for agendas, newsletters and general county-level updates.

The second goal is to deliver consistent, equitable county services, with strategies including identifying gaps in and opportunities to expand existing programs and fostering open lines of communication between municipalities and neighboring counties on a more consistent basis.

The third goal is to promote county services across wider demographics by evaluating current participation in outreach events and being more intentional and strategic with its future impacts. “[Public engagement] is something that most of us have all wanted to be more transparent and responsible with ever since I started in public service,” Sass said. “We want to answer to the constituents, and I’m glad engagement is becoming more of an up-front issue than it was before.”

going to stay available.”

Being available for the community members that are already engaged is a top priority, Sass explained.

“You’re never going to get everybody involved,” he said. “But a lot of people already are, and that’s good news. They’ll bring stuff to our attention, and sometimes it’s a nice email saying, ‘I like your stance on this,’ or ‘I like that you’re spending time on this issue.’ Other times they’ll tell me they’re unhappy, but that’s important too.

People can come right up to us in meetings and talk to us and say anything from, ‘Hey, I don’t like the kind of shoes you’re wearing,’ to ‘I don’t like that you’re building this road.’

“We’re the closest representation to a lot of folks,” Sass added. “The guys in Columbia — they’re in Columbia. The guys in Washington — they’re in Washington.

We’re out here every day, and I like that contact with the people. We’re going to the gas station, the fast food restaurant, to Publix and Harris Teeter. The level of engagement we can have with people is so important.”

Challenges to overcome

Several other priorities are outlined in the county’s strategic plan, including infrastructure, workforce, quality of life, financial stability, public wellbeing and the continued use of American Rescue Plan funds.

“We live in a very special place, and we have to make sure to balance all the things we need to bring in with all the things we need to keep,” Sass said. “We have to keep the things that make this community spe-

Sass said the biggest challenge in getting people involved is getting them to care in the first place.

“A lot of people just aren’t paying attention,” he said. “People pay attention most often when things happen that they think need to go differently. But we need people to pay attention when things go right, too.

I don’t know how we’re going to increase that number exactly, but we’re definitely

Temperatures are expected to drop into the 20s in the days ahead, and wind chill could pull feels-like temperatures as low as 10 to 15 degrees. The City Paper has collected a short list of tips and advice from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to help you stay safe and warmer until temperatures come back up (as early as next week, thanks to Charleston’s fickle weather).

General tips • Stay up-to-date on weather forecasts.

• Stay indoors; minimize travel as much as possible.

• Shut off water valves or drip faucets to prevent potential pipe bursts.

• Bring any outside pets indoors until temperatures rise.

Dressing for the occasion • Dress for the outdoors, even if you don’t think you’ll be out much.

• Wear layers of loose-fitting, lightweight, warm clothing — and a hat.

• Mittens are better than gloves for keeping warm; wear them if possible.

• Cover your mouth to protect your lungs from extreme cold.

• Stay dry and avoid windy areas.

Study addresses Charleston’s parking issues, proposes fixes

OYSTER Roast

By Lily Levin

3/21/22

What’s the deal with Charleston’s parking?

With 23% of surface area devoted to sitting vehicles, Charleston’s parking qualms may not be due to a lack of spots as much as not knowing where to look. A parking study conducted in 2019 by the city of Charleston concluded that downtown, “none of the parking was more than about 75% occupied at any given time,” slightly below what Carpenito said was a good parking utilization rate of 85%. The study noted even though some highly populated districts did not always have spots available, some could be found a few blocks over in each direction.

There’s also the issue of cost. The city in 2017 saw an extreme example of this phenomenon, when a spot in a prime peninsula location was listed for nearly $75,000 to prospective buyers. The city’s 2018 decision to change metered parking from $1 to $2 per hour and to extend paid hours sparked backlash from some commuters, especially downtown workers, against costs they felt were unreasonable.

Carpenito said while “there’s a lot of consensus that parking should be free,” not charging vehicle owners for a spot can come

with negative repercussions. People would drive downtown much more often, he explained, if they could freely park, which would mean that parking lots might exceed capacity — and some wouldn’t be able to find parking at all. “That’s a way bigger barrier to people coming [downtown] than the prices [of parking spots] themselves.”

Mass transit is lacking

In large cities, a pattern tends to exist: a 2014 Streetblog survey said that people will use more public transportation as parking prices get higher.

But in smaller metro areas like Charleston, the study added, “the correlation between parking costs and transit ridership was not statistically significant,” hypothesizing causes such as lack of affordable public transit and widespread development.

Charleston seems to be a victim to these issues; it’s labeled a “car-dependent city” by WalkScore with a public transit score of 24 out of 100. This places the city in the category of least robust public transportation.

In other words, the site states, “it is possible to get on a bus.”

The city’s bus system, CARTA, provides free transit to some parts of downtown. But month-long passes are $57, which can be a cost barrier.

What’s more, transit deserts — where public transportation is in high demand CONTINUED ON PAGE 6

If you live in or commute to Charleston, you likely know about the challenges that often come with finding a place to park.

But the Parking Reform Network (PRN), a national nonprofit formed to “educate the public about the impact of parking policy” recently updated its city maps to include Charleston — and it found 23% of downtown Charleston that is zoned as a business or mixed-use district is used for parking. In other words, nearly one-fourth of the surface area within the map’s focus region is a parking lot.

This is a much more significant proportion than New York City, for example, the country’s least car-centric urbanized locale, which, based on its PRN map, boasts less than 0.5% of parking-devoted surface area.

And yet Charleston still measures below the average of 26% of parking lot space in metropolitan areas nationwide. The United States, in fact, has a total parking area that, if combined, would span the states of Rhode Island and Delaware — and then some.

“If you are looking at cities under a million — an urbanized area like Charleston — [the parking surface area] is going to be more like 29%,” said Thomas Carpenito, a New York City-based project manager at PRN. He added that part of the reason for Charleston’s comparatively low percentage is the desirability of the area and its high financial value.

cial while still bringing in those improvements everybody needs.”

Sass said the county is going to have the largest amount of money for greenspace projects it’s ever had — twice as much as the last budget.

“We need to take advantage of that,” he said. “We have a real opportunity to make a lot more greenspace on the sea islands and elsewhere, so we don’t lose it all. That’s really important.”

but supply is low or doesn’t exist at all — are prevalent in many Lowcountry corridors, especially those outside of the downtown area where residents might not have access to or finances for a personal vehicle.

Absence of public transit in an area that’s also a food desert — what the U.S. Department of Agriculture defines as “a low-income tract where a substantial number … of residents does not have easy access to a supermarket or large grocery store” — can make meeting basic dietary needs nearly impossible.

Moving forward

There’s an environmental price of too much parking. While the county requires 30% of parking surface area to be “pervious,” meaning permeable by water — like gravel, for example — the other 70% can be impervious material, such as concrete and asphalt, which can exacerbate the already widespread issue of flooding in Charleston.

If Charleston wants to move in the direction of fewer parking lots, Carpenito said, the city has got to strengthen its mass transit system. “There are really only a handful of cities in [Charleston’s] population area that even go below 20% [of parking lot surface area], and they have really robust public transport.”

Mass transit can also decrease the number of vehicles on the road. Charleston, in recent years, has been reported as one of the most dangerous places in the country for drivers.

Public transportation alone, however, won’t solve the problem: It goes handin-hand with waiving previously passed parking space requirements, Carpenito added. Dismantling these laws would allow a parking garage that’s never full to sell some of its parking spots to the retail sector, allowing for higher lot utilization rates and lower parking surface area, he noted.

So adjustments such as eliminating business parking minimums are in Charleston’s best interest, Carpenito told the Charleston City Paper: “You’re able to have more economic activity in your downtown because you’re able to devote less of it to parking structures.”

Several men reportedly broke into a North Charleston woman’s apartment on Jan. 10, stealing a PlayStation 4 and $100 cash after she turned one of the men down for a date, according to North Charleston police. We know getting turned down can sting, but if this is his plan to change her mind, maybe next time the unlucky guy should just get her some flowers.

Have you seen the rates?

North Charleston police on Jan. 11 busted three people for reportedly staying in an Arco Lane hotel room without paying. Property managers said they noticed the three enter the room which was meant to be vacant.

The three were banned from the hotel, but honestly, can you blame them?

Getting a hotel room in Charleston is outrageous these days.

She noted that the babysitter had in the past kicked down her door and broken other items of furniture, but this time, he went too far.

EDITORIAL

Hold Trump accountable in S.C. primaries by picking Biden, Haley to top tickets T he heart and soul of America is on the ballot this November when we vote for the next president of the United States.

At stake is whether we value truth, justice and the so-called American way of life. Will we support a democratic form of government prized by our Founding Fathers and 200 years of leaders? Or will we descend into a dangerous, authoritarian quagmire that would eradicate many of the freedoms too many Americans fought and died for.

Any South Carolinian who wants to make a difference now in the future of America will have a big chance next month in the state’s presidential primaries.

On Feb. 3 in the first-in-the-nation Democratic primary, those who support seasoned, practical, progressive and proven leadership can vote to nominate President Joe Biden for another term.

Three weeks later, those who want to vote in the first-inthe-South Republican primary should cast a vote for former S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley, the only major candidate schooled in reason and truth.

Say what you will about Haley — she’s overly ambitious, a little tough and sometimes pandering. But unlike frontrunner and former GOP President Donald Trump, she doesn’t want to debase democracy. She believes our form of government, warts and all, is the greatest in the world’s history. She’s certainly not afraid to take on the

establishment, but she doesn’t cotton to Trump’s narcissistic lies, corruption and continuing threats to turn the federal government on its ear.

So we hope that as the nation’s political focus turns next week from New Hampshire to South Carolina that Haley will start standing up more to Trump to distinguish herself.

She should loudly call him out when he lies or supports the zealots who violently tried to take down the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, because he didn’t want to transfer power. She should show the same toughness on the national campaign trail that she did as governor when standing up to power at the Statehouse in Columbia.

Sure, Trump remains way ahead in polls, but with his four criminal cases hanging in the balance, his problems are only going to magnify. South Carolina voters can engage with that reality by leading the nation to see the paucity of his substance over the untruthful flair of his style.

Of all of the candidates in the race now, Biden has the steadiest hand, as he implored the country Jan. 8 in Charleston: “This is a time for choosing, so let us choose the truth. Let us choose America.”

And while we think voters will eventually reelect Biden, we can’t risk having Trump as the GOP nominee.

The best bet on Feb. 24? Pick Haley, the Republican candidate who values American democracy, not the one who seems to hate it.

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.

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.

OPINION

Years later, grisly Berkeley Co. murder leads to 2 arrests By Andy Brack In my mind’s eye, the image of a white pickup-truck camper with a light blue accent stripe continues to haunt me.

Inside it 35 years ago, a dead boy had been found.

The camper was parked outside of a rural Moncks Corner home, maybe a white trailer. Buzzing around were law enforcement officers trying to figure out what happened to 5-year-old Justin Lee Turner. I remember a lot of yellow crime scene tape.

The boy went missing on March 3, 1989. Two days later with police on the scene, the boy’s father discovered his son stuffed into a cabinet in the camper near the home that had been searched earlier. The boy had been strangled. There was evidence he may have been sexually assaulted.

This cold case has spooked seasoned investigators and reporters for years. It came during a simpler time when fast-growing Berkeley County was half its size. Mobile phones were new, but available only in bulky bags. Websites were more than two years away. Local news organizations scrummed to get the latest sensational scoop.

Berkeley County authorities on Jan. 10 arrested the boy’s 69-year-old father, Victor Lee Turner, and 63-year-old stepmother, Megan R. Turner, on murder charges. They’re currently in jail pending

a bond hearing later this month. Back in late 1989, officials arrested the boy’s stepmother, who changed her name from Pamela K. Turner, in the death. The following year, they dropped charges for lack of evidence. In 1992, the case went to a grand jury, but it returned no indictment.

And then the case just seemed to fizzle. But Berkeley County authorities, in coordination with the State Law Enforcement Division and its forensic lab and others, kept poking away. According to old newspaper reports, they reportedly always thought they knew what happened, but didn’t have enough evidence.

“We believe that they in concert moved his body to that camper to make it look like a stranger had murdered him,” Berkeley County Sheriff Duane Lewis said last week in an interview. Earlier, he noted, “Every sheriff from M.C. Cannon to Ray Isgett, Wayne DeWitt and myself — they’ve all looked into this case to some degree and tried to solve it. We were fortunate enough that we were able to do some things that we were not able to do before. It compressed the timeline.”

Lewis said authorities preserved evidence, but recently were able to subject it to new forensics tests.

“We had the leash that we believe was used to strangle Justin,” he said. “We’ve always had that.

We were able to extract fibers from that leash onto Justin’s shirt collar. So you had transfer of particles from his shirt collar to the leash, and

This cold case has spooked seasoned investigators and reporters for years. It came during a simpler time when fast-growing Berkeley County was half its size.

the leash to the shirt collar.”

That evidence, in coordination with more analysis of everything from what the boy had for breakfast to supposed inconsistencies in suspect statements led to this week’s charges, the sheriff said.

“It’s not just about DNA any more,” he said.

“There’s a lot of things we can do that we couldn’t do back then — we didn’t have the means to do it.

“In this case, time was good to us. In others, it’s not. We just kept at it and kept trying things and reaching out to solve some mysteries of the case.

It worked out to where we were able to get enough probable cause to arrest them.”

Arrests came in the cold case of Justin Lee Turner for three main reasons. First, police used science to make connections. Second, governments made investments in forensic technology, such as the $63 million State Law Enforcement Division forensic lab that opened last year. Third, authorities diligently kept at it to figure out what happened.

Lessons to remember: Trust in science; don’t discount it. Invest in government infrastructure.

Employ dedicated people who won’t give up.

Justin Lee Turner. Rest in peace.

ohnson & Wales University (JWU), once the prime source for trained chefs in Charleston, shocked the city’s bustling restaurant industry in 2002 when it announced it would turn off its stoves in the city’s old cigar factory and move to Charlotte.

For many, the decision by the Providence, R.I.-based culinary school to leave after two decades in the Lowcountry during a national recession was just as scary as the 1996 closure of the Charleston Naval Base for what it could mean for the tri-county economy.

Charleston Realtor Jimmy Bailey, a former three-term member of the S.C. House of Representatives, remembers an unexpected meeting with former state Sens.

Glenn McConnell and Arthur Ravenel that led to a committee to find a culinary school to fill the pending loss of JWU. Bailey recalls he asked the legislators, “‘You have any idea how this will affect the culinary scene in Charleston? It could be just as bad for the restaurant industry as the closing of the Naval Base.’ McConnell said, ‘Lord have mercy! We haven’t even thought about that!’ ” The two senators asked Bailey to lead a committee to find JWU’s replacement.

But without a training facility other than the culinary school’s cigar factory campus, there were no takers, Bailey recalled. With no other outside options, the committee looked local to Trident Technical College.

Bailey said he and the legislators met with Mary Thornley, Trident Tech’s president. “We told her we’d recommend the General Assembly get [her] some money.”

Further, he said, the team recommended that she rebrand Trident’s two-year culinary arts program as the “Culinary Institute of Charleston,” he said. The committee believed, he said, that a new name would boost Trident Tech’s credibility within the hospitality community nationally.

“She agreed to do that, and [local lawmakers] got $7 million to pump into the new Culinary Institute of Charleston,” he said.

“Mary Thornley understood the importance of why we needed to expand the school.

“She saved the restaurant industry in Charleston,” Bailey said. “I don’t think there is any question that she saved it.”

Trident Tech’s Thornley hailed for saving local culinary industry

By Herb Frazier

The praise that Thornley has received from Bailey and others will likely grow as her June 1 retirement draws closer. When she leaves, Thornley said, she’ll have more time for her family and church, Harbor View Presbyterian.

A modest Thornley claimed it is “absolutely not true” that she saved Charleston’s restaurant industry. There were other Charlestonians, she said, such as Bailey, McConnell, former S.C. House Speaker Bobby Harrell, restaurant owner Hank

Holliday and his business partner chef Robert Carter. They played, she said, prominent roles in getting the support that Trident Tech needed to fill the void created when JWU left Charleston in May 2006.

Bailey countered, however, that Thornley’s deflection of the praise “is typical of Mary, who wants to give credit to everyone else.

She deserves 90% of the credit.”

Thornley said the committee suggested some 29 changes and upgrades to Trident’s culinary program.

“We decided that if we were going to get recommendations from top chefs, that we were going to honor every one of them, and we did,” she said.

Expanding Trident’s kitchens

Carter, a retired chef, was a 1989 JWU graduate. He was on the advisory committee that helped to expand Trident Tech’s culinary program from one that trained cafeteria workers to teaching chefs who managed kitchens in some of the city’s top restaurants.

Carter was working in the kitchen at Hank’s Seafood, a restaurant he co-owned with Holliday, when he heard that his alma mater was leaving Charleston.

“I was pissed,” Carter said.

The chef was vested in JWU, which had given him an honorary doctorate degree. “I did a lot to promote [JWU], and I felt like because of the growth of the industry in Charleston, the university should have kept a presence in Charleston.” He and others had proposed that JWU offer advanced degrees for students who would then go on to work in a city that was becoming a culinary destination.

With the city’s rising culinary profile, Holliday said he felt a rush of “panic” with JWU’s announcement and concern over how it would complicate finding skilled talent at Hank’s and his other restaurant, Peninsula Grill, both of which he has since sold.

With an accreditation from the prestigious Culinary Institute of America (CIA), JWU was nearly impossible to replace, Holliday recalled. “Trident Tech … [and] Mary were very effective. They worked hard to fill the vacuum.”

Phenomenal growth

For three decades, Thornley has guided the college’s growth from three campuses with 8,000 students to five campuses with an enrollment of 13,000 students, the third largest undergraduate enrollment in the state.

The college’s nine-member Area Commission has set Jan. 29 as a deadline to receive applications from candidates who want to be considered for the Trident Tech presidency.

Thornley became Trident Tech’s president in 1991, five years before the shipyard closed, when the college had 7,900 students. But in the following years, enrollment jumped “because the shipyard workers were coming to us for retraining,”

Mary Thornley, Trident Technical College president, received the President’s Lifetime Volunteer Achievement Award, a prestigious White House honor that recognizes extraordinary commitment to serving the community and nation, and a proclamation from former Charleston Mayor John Tecklenburg

in their third and fourth years,” she said.

Today, 500 students are enrolled in the institute’s culinary, baking and pastry and hospitality and tourism management associate degree programs, said Nathan Rex, dean of the college’s Culinary Institute of Charleston. An additional 300 students are pursuing certificates in 10 programs such as hotel and event management, cake decorating and food and beverage operations.

“Enrollment has been growing since 2018,” said Rex, who graduated from Trident Tech in 2003 and 2004 with two degrees. “I don’t foresee enrollment decreasing. I think it will remain the same and slowly increase based on the demands,” he said. “With the introduction of our online programs, we are able to reach students that we might not have been able to reach.”

Thornley said the college is currently not meeting the restaurant’s industry demand for employees. She added, however, that none of the degree programs have been producing enough graduates to meet the needs for workers across all sectors of the tri-county’s economy.

“Our region is growing well above the national average. Trident Tech is growing well above the national average,” Thornley explained. “The need for skilled workers in every job sector is higher than it’s ever been, and so is the need for training. We’ll continue to step up and do everything in our power to meet local needs. Our success depends on the continuing assistance and support of the community.”

Thornley said. “A lot of it was on their own.

We were struggling to find faculty and classrooms to handle this influx [of students] three years in a row.”

At that time, the college had a small campus on Rivers Avenue in North Charleston and the Palmer campus on Columbus Street in downtown Charleston, where its culinary arts program was based.

Trident Tech began acquiring property in 1993 to expand its North Charleston campus, and that led to a strategic plan for the future, Thornley said.

“What do we, as a center of workforce training, need to be doing?” she said. “During that time, we realized the hospitality and tourism industry was a giant, and we had a fledgling program at the downtown Palmer campus that was not nearly big enough.

“So we made plans before we ever knew Johnson & Wales was leaving,” she said.

The college had already expanded its culinary program by 77,000 square feet on the main campus.

“And then what happened [was] Johnson & Wales announced in June 2002 they were departing. We already had plans for our expansion. We had plans to augment what Johnson & Wales produced, but then we realized, overnight, we were now replacing them.

“We stepped up to increase our ability to turn out workers who could perform in this sophisticated hospitality and tourism arena” after the JWU announced its move, she said.

The $7 million that the college received from the legislature, she said, was combined with $2.2 million from the college to upgrade the Palmer campus’ culinary program.

Changing the program’s name to the Culinary Institute of Charleston might not have been necessary, she said, but “we wanted to pay special attention to those programs, and we think it has worked.”

Thornley said it was a challenge to replace JWU’s baccalaureate degree with Trident’s two-year associates program. “We studied the program at Johnson & Wales, and we broke it into certificates, diplomas and associate degrees and advanced certificates to cover some of those competencies they had

Summerville — less than 30 miles from downtown Charleston and 16 miles from Charleston International Airport — is growing rapidly like much of the tri-county region. Its suburban lifestyle, good schools and relative safety are attracting all sorts of people who grew up here and who are new. Nearly 211,000 residents now live in the Summerville/Ladson area. And more are coming every day.

But wandering around downtown Summerville, with its historic buildings and Hutchinson Square, it’s easy to think you’ve gone back to a quieter, simpler and friendlier time. The town, known since the early 1900s as “Flowertown in the Pines” for its early spring azaleas and other flowers, celebrated its 175th anniversary in December 2022.

Former Town Councilman Terry Jenkins grew up in Summerville in the 1950s. After traveling extensively and internationally for his job, he moved back to the historic district in the 1990s and served several stints on the town’s council until this month.

He loves living downtown, which is friendly, walkable and offers a lot to see and do. He suggests people visiting the area walk around Hutchinson Square and the three blocks around it.

“That will give you a great day,” he said.

Around Hutchinson Square

The historic square was renovated in 2019. The redesigned square includes a fountain, benches, new trees and greenspace, as well as an amphitheater for live events. Nearby, visitors will find historic and significant buildings including: Town Hall was first built on the site at 200 South Main St. in 1892. That building was damaged by a storm, and a new building was erected in 1969.

Timrod Library was dedicated in 1915 at 217 Central Ave. Guerin’s Pharmacy at 104 South Main St. was originally built during the Civil War. It is the oldest continuously operating pharmacy in South Carolina.

You will also find an interactive tour map from the Summerville Visitor Center that will help you navigate your way around downtown.

Rebecca Ryan Collett, owner of Collett Media, grew up in Summerville and recently moved back with her husband, three children and dog. She said the thing she likes best about the town is the people.

“There is something so genuine and caring about the people here,” she observed.

Among the things she recommends for visitors is the Sweet Tea Trail — one of the many fun things to do and see in downtown Summerville, reputed to be the birthplace of sweet tea. You can even see Mason, the world’s largest sweet tea jar, next to Town Hall.

Mason stands 15 feet tall and holds 2,524 gallons of sweet tea.

Shari Stauch, owner of Main Street Reads, said the new amphitheater on Hutchinson Square is a great place for people to gather.

“It’s a throwback town,” she said. “It’s like a European square.”

She said she loves Summerville and decided to open her bookstore at 115 South Main St. in 2019. It is the kind of place that can support an independent bookstore, she said.

The store is also a place for author events as well as book groups and events for children. A lot of people who attend events are from other places and are hoping to meet new people, she said.

There are many interesting stores in town now, Stauch said. And there are cultural art, theater and music events as well.

With all the touring and shopping, people can work up an appetite, and there’s no shortage of restaurants in downtown Summerville.

in 1952, and it has been serving Southern comfort food ever since, even though ownership has changed. The restaurant, open for breakfast and lunch, is a big hit with visitors and locals. Many Summerville residents have grown up eating there.

Scott MacLellan, manager at Laura, an Italian restaurant owned by Charleston chef Nico Romo, said Summerville is growing and along with that came a need for more fine-dining options. Laura, which was named after Romo’s grandmother, opened in June 2022, and customers welcomed it with open arms, he said. Locals dine there as well as visitors who have traveled the world, he said, and everybody loves it.

And everyone working at Laura wants

the restaurant to be part of the community, he said. It supports other local businesses, purchasing olive oil and other items from local vendors.

Jenkins said downtown Summerville, and its historic square “are the envy of everyone in the state.” Summerville has grown a lot since he was growing up, he said. Back then, the town’s population was about 2,800. When he moved back in the 1990s, it had grown to 15,000. Today, about 53,000 people call the town home.

He said he thinks town leaders have solid plans to manage growth. That includes expanding downtown in ways that are consistent with what’s already there and promote walkability.

“Summerville has had a glorious past, but the past is not the future,” Jenkins said.

“Nothing stays the same. You either grow or you die.”

Inside the Uptown Hospitality empire

What’s new

By Abby Tierney Looking around Charleston over the last half-decade, you may have thought: Uptown Hospitality Group (UHG) is everywhere.

With six concepts developed in six years, it’s a fair assessment. Bolstered by sharp business tactics and New York nightlife roots, the team operates with a Field of Dreams-like confidence: “If you build it, they will come.”

So far, they’ve been right.

Transplants with a vision

Senior partners Keith Benjamin and Kara Hammond arrived in Charleston by way of New York City, where both were part of the nightlife group Eat, Drink & Be Merry Hospitality, founded in 1991 by industry vets Mitch Banchik and Michael Asch.

Benjamin first visited Charleston in 2012. “I fell in love and felt there was tremendous opportunity here,” he said. By 2016, he was ready to chart his own course, and when the group began discussing new markets, he pitched Charleston to the partners. “Within days, we were on a plane,” looking for potential spaces, he said.

The team stumbled upon the former Huger’s, a 10,000-square foot behemoth on Upper King Street. “At the time, it was collapsing at the seams,” Benjamin said, “but it was the perfect location, with a late-night license grandfathered in.” The vision for Uptown Social came into focus: a threestory destination with a rooftop, the likes of which Charleston had never seen.

Knowing they were on the verge of something big, the team tread gently. “​​By the time we opened in April of 2018, Kara and I had made it our job to get to know everyone we possibly could,” Benjamin said. “We’d let them know that we respected everything that came before us, and were only looking to contribute to the amazing F&B community that was already established here.”

Uptown Social was just the beginning.

Today, UHG (now associated with but adjacent to Eat, Drink & Be Merry) is a ubiquitous presence, with properties at the heart

Ashley Rose Stanol

In addition to acquiring the former Warehouse space on Spring Street, Uptown Hospitality Group will open a second Bodega location on Coleman Blvd. this year of the city’s nightlife experience. The group also owns Share House, a surf-inspired bar and restaurant, and Bodega, a daytime brunch spot, both located on Ann Street in the old train depot, and is debuting three new concepts this year.

UHG attributes much of its success to a tenacious marketing strategy. “We always knew social media would be instrumental in telling our story,” Hammond said. “We’re very calculated about what we do — it’s a result of us really knowing and spending so much time at our spots.”

As the operation grows, so does this “boots on the ground” effort.

“At the beginning, we were doing it all ourselves,” Benjamin said. “Now, we have social media meetings with 10 to 12 people.”

The team now employs in-house designers, too, who steer everything from marketing to merch. “It’s allowed us to become a lifestyle brand, rather than just places to eat, drink and dance,” Benjamin said.

Coming soon

This year will be another groundbreaking year for UHG, beginning with a takeover of the former Warehouse space, James Groetzinger and Joey Rinaldi’s old Spring Street haunt. “This was a space we very much respected,” Benjamin said of the bar, which was one of the first places the partners visited in Charleston.

Following a tip from a local Realtor, Benjamin ran it up the chain at UHG. “It was a unanimous green light from everybody,” he said. By the spring of 2023, a natural concept

had emerged. “We heard from tons of people around our age — mid-30s — who said, ‘Warehouse was our spot.’ It had this cool neighborhood vibe, and they wanted that back,” Benjamin said. Tapping inspiration from the bar’s “glory days,” the team set out to create a chic hang-out for a more grownup set. “If you’ve graduated from Uptown Social and Share House, this is for you.”

Named “By the Way,” the new bar will open this summer, featuring cocktails, elevated tavern fare, lounge-style music acts and the occasional DJ spot. The team hopes it will be a symbiotic fit for the neighborhood, where folks can wander out of Vern’s or Chubby Fish and into By the Way for a nightcap.

In addition to a Mount Pleasant location for Bodega, UHG has also acquired the former Baker & Brewer for its first wedding venue. The property, unlisted when negotiations began, was a diamond in the rough, Hammond said, with vast indoor and outdoor space and a parking lot.

“Charleston’s wedding market continues to top every list,” Hammond said. “It would behoove us to be part of that. And between all our properties, we could offer the whole package — rehearsal dinners, welcome drinks, after parties.”

In fact, it seems there’s no facet of hospitality UHG doesn’t want a piece of.

Benjamin and Hammond agree. “It’s tough for us not to want to bite the entire apple, but we’re learning to take small bites,” Benjamin said. “We continue to operate the same way we started: with humility and pride and the obligation to provide the community with something we didn’t feel existed.”

Smashley’s Burger Bar is now open on Dorchester Road at 5401 Netherby Lane, suite 1002. Owned by Victor and Ashley Valdivieso of Victor’s Lab food truck, the restaurant serves up all-beef smash burgers, starters like zucchini chips and fried cauliflower, rice bowls and local beers and seltzers.

The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner Monday through Friday and all day Saturday.

Prohibition chef Greg Garrison and chef de cuisine Analisa LaPietra recently launched a new dinner and brunch menu featuring smaller format dishes. The tapas-style menu is designed to allow guests to experience more dishes, which are all categorized by primary ingredients including vegetable, seafood, meat and poultry and cheese and charcuterie.

In a press release Garrison said, “We’re leaning back into a smaller format that allows guests who may not want to commit to a singular main course to explore a variety of dishes and flavors. In the kitchen, we’re thrilled as this format allows us more flexibility to be creative with flavor profiles and fresh ingredients and spices.”

What’s happening Charleston Wine Festivals presents the Charleston Winter Wine Festival with two sessions, from noon to 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Jan. 27. Held at Festival Hall downtown, the event features more than 50 wine selections, mimosas and beer as well as food available for purchase. Tickets start at $55 and can be purchased online at eventbrite.com.

Chubby Fish hosts a special event on Jan. 30 with chef Colin Wyatt of Twelve, a restaurant in Portland, Maine. For one night only, Wyatt offers a “tide to table” collaborative pop-up menu at Chubby Fish with chef James London. Two seatings will take place at 5:30 p.m. and 8 p.m., and tickets for the pre-fixe menu are $200 per person, with an optional $80 wine pairing.

Guests can look forward to five courses that highlight Maine and Charleston’s classic seafood dishes. Email kate@ chubbyfishcharleston.com to secure your reservation. —Connelly Hardaway Be the first to know. Read the Cuisine section at charlestoncitypaper.com.

STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA COUNTY OF GREENVILLE IN THE FAMILY COURT OF THE THIRTEENTH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT CASE NO. 2023-DR-23-3113 Lisa Uldrick and Lake Scott Cely, Petitioners, vs.

Michael Scott Payne, Kayla Payne, and Michael, a minor under the age of fourteen (14) Respondents.

SUMMONS TO THE RESPONDENTS ABOVE NAMED: YOU ARE HEREBY SUMMONED and required to answer the Petition in the above entitled action, a copy of which is herewith served upon you (and which has been filed in the Office of the Clerk of Court) and to serve a copy of your Answer upon the attorney for Petitioners, at 600 Pettigru Street, Greenville, South Carolina 29601, within thirty (30) days after the date of such service, exclusive of the day of service, and if you fail to answer the Petition within that time, judgment by default will be rendered against you for the relief demanded in the Petition.

AMENDED PETITION FOR ADOPTION BY RELATIVE The Petitioners would respectfully show to this Court: 1. The Petitioners, Lisa Uldrick and Lake Scott Cely, are citizens and residents of Greenville County, South Carolina. 2. The issues raised herein are within the exclusive jurisdiction of this Court pursuant to South Carolina Code § 63-9-40 (2008). Therefore, this Court has both personal and subject matter jurisdiction and is the proper venue for the trial of this case. 3.

The Petitioners, Lisa Uldrick and Lake Scott Cely, are a married couple. 4. Petitioner Lisa Uldrick is the paternal grandmother of the minor child, Michael S.P, Jr. (YOB: 2016). 5. Respondents Michael Scott Payne and Kayla Payne are the natural parents of the minor child. 6. A Final Order (Case No.: 2018-DR-23-4627) was issued on June 4, 2019, granting Petitioner Lisa Uldrick sole custody of the minor child, and the Respondents were granted reasonable visitation.

A copy of this order is attached. 7.

Petitioners would show that the parental rights of the Respondents should be terminated for the following reasons: a. Neither adult Respondent has visited the minor child for a period greater than two years. Petitioners are informed and believe that the adult Respondents have willfully failed to visit with the child for a period in excess of six months. b. Neither adult Respondent has had any type of contact with the minor child in over one year. c. On information and belief, both adult Respondents are drug addicts and are unable to care for this child. 8.

Since the issuance of the attached order, the Petitioners have actively participated in all aspects of the child’s life and are parental figures to the child. 9. Pursuant to S.C. Code Ann. § 63-9-1110, Petitioners seek to adopt Michael S.P. Jr., to whom Petitioner Lisa Uldrick is a relative. 10. It is the desire of Petitioners to establish the legal relationship of parent and child between themselves and the minor child. Petitioners would show that they are fit and proper people and are able to care for the child and

to provide for the child’s welfare and that it is in the best interests of the minor child for the adoption to be approved. 11. To the best of the knowledge of the Petitioners, the minor Respondent owns no real property of any value either real or personal, in the State of South Carolina or elsewhere. 12.

There have been no payments of money made or anything of value given, or have any agreements to make payments in the future by or on behalf of the Petitioners to any person, agency, or organization been made in connection with this adoption. 13. The only Court Order related to the custody, support and visitation of the minor child is the Order of the Greenville County Family Court, Case Number 2018-DR-23-4627. 14. Petitioners request that the Court waive the ninety (90) day waiting period, the pre-placement and post placement investigations, and the accounting in that the Petitioners duly believes that these are not required pursuant to S.C. Code Ann. Section 63-9-1110. 15. Petitioners request that Nela Laughridge of the Greenville County Bar be appointed as Guardian ad Litem to protect the interests of the minor child. 16. Petitioners allege that they are entitled to a restraining order prohibiting the Respondents Michael Scott Payne and Kayla Payne from harassing, bothering, or having adverse contact with Petitioners or the minor Respondent. 17.

Participate in the “Global Game Jam” at CofC Family bonds are tested and long-held secrets are revealed in this heartfelt modern comedy, on stage at Dock Street Theatre Jan. 24 through Feb. 11

Dock Street Theatre shows family ‘dramedy’

By Chloe Hogan Family secrets come to light in comedic and dramatic ways in Broadway’s GLAADnominated Chicken & Biscuits, on the Dock Street Theatre stage from Jan. 24 through Feb. 11.

Theater company Charleston Stage presents the show, written

by Douglas Lyons, which features heartfelt themes alongside funny dialogue. The story takes place at a Black funeral after the Jenkins family loses Gilmore its patriarch.

“He was a pastor, and so at his funeral, some family secrets start to come out that were not spoken about when he was alive,” said the show’s director, Crystin Gilmore. “I feel like every family has some secrets, and so it’ll be very relatable to a lot of people.”

The Jenkins are the first family of their

African-American church, who, Gilmore said, believe in God, family and keeping skeletons (and relatives) in the closet. The show follows over-the-top characters as they attempt to eulogize the family patriarch and avoid a full-out family brawl.

Gilmore is a former resident actor for Charleston Stage, (credits include Alberta “Pearl” Johnson in Black Pearl Sings!, Mrs. Ruby Cornwell in The Seat of Justice, Rosie in Mamma Mia!, and Motormouth Maybelle in Hairspray) and last season, she stepped into a new role as director of the musical Once on This Island.

Chicken & Biscuits is Gilmore’s first foray in directing a comedy or, as she prefers to call it, “a dramedy,” but she’s no stranger to finding the truth within humor from her many years on the stage.

“The thing I love about comedy, if you do it right, is that you don’t play for the jokes,” she said. “You just tell the truth. And sometimes the truth is funny, and sometimes the truth is gut wrenching. To me, comedy is about this throughline of honesty.”

And so, in this modern comedy about good old-fashioned family drama, the audience can expect to find deeper themes of healing, forgiveness and compassion between laughs.

“It’s 90 minutes of love, laughter, acceptance and less judgment,” Gilmore said. “My goal is when you see that family on stage, which may not look like you, you realize they have characteristics similar to people you know. Or some of those characteristics may be you — if you’re the judgmental person, work on that. If you are seeing that character as reminding you of say, your mother, you can find grace for her as to why she became that way.

“My goal is that people walk away with more grace for others, more acceptance, less judgment and a good guttural laugh.

Because laughter is medicine.”

Gilmore added that she hopes theatergoers will take a chance on a title they might not have heard of with Chicken & Biscuits, a show whose Broadway run was cut short by Covid.

This production is recommended for individuals aged 14 and older. Tickets start at $42.50 and are available at charlestonstage.com.

Charleston Stage also offers a pay-as-youplease performance at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 24.

Hip-hop artist Ngoya Vice, known by his rapper name Booda Cess, uses his music to tell stories, ranging from personal trials and tribulations to social commentary. The lead single for his debut solo album, “SMH” (meaning Shakin’ My Head), is a song about the pitfalls of the streets, he told the Charleston City Paper.

“The message is for the young people out here caught up in the streets and falling into that trap,” he said. “I tried to take a tone in ‘SMH’ where I’m having a conversation with the youth. It’s like I’m sitting on the porch, seeing what’s happening in front

of me, and I’m explaining it to a younger person, like, ‘This is what can happen.’”

Booda Cess is a Charleston native who grew up in the Orleans Gardens neighborhood of West Ashley. He named his rap label Gardenbred as a nod to his neighborhood, where he got his start rapping in the early 2000s with a group called the

Mob Family. The group’s self-titled albums Da Mobb Family Vol. 1 and Da Mobb Family Vol. 2, are considered classics in the Charleston music scene, Booda Cess said.

When the group disbanded, Booda Cess moved to Atlanta. But in 2019, he returned and reconnected with friends and producers who pushed him back to the studio.

“I was always doing music, but I started taking it more seriously then, as I was finding stability in my life,” he said. “Music is my first love. It’s a passion for me.” And at the end of 2021, he started selecting beats and writing lyrics for his debut solo project, Cessionz, which was released in October 2023.

Writing lyrics on personal themes

The sonic landscape of the project ranges from harder songs with faster rapping to songs that are slower and lyrically focused, like “SMH.” “The song ‘Animal Like’ is more West Coast, while other songs feel a lot more like Charleston,” Booda Cess said. “I’m very detailed in my beats selection process. But this album was less about sound; it was more about the subject matter and that feeling cohesive.”

He spends most of his creative process on writing lyrics that are impactful and poetic. When he was diagnosed with cancer in 2023, the lyrics and the process became all the more important, Booda Cess said.

(Now, he’s nearly a year cancer-free.) “[When I was diagnosed], that changed CONTINUED ON PAGE 23

While in his teens, he started playing the oud, the direct ancestor of the lute and the principal instrument in the Middle East.

Over time, he has played not only the traditional Arabic music, but has used all of the influences of the American melting pot to develop a unique style which fuses Middle Eastern influences with jazz, pop and even funk. Kfoury believes that music and art are the difference between merely existing and being truly alive, Ohm Radio writes.

the tone of the album, and it became more of a therapeutic process. … The album definitely evolved from there. ‘There For You’ is the song where I really talk about that.”

Since the solo album release in fall 2023, Booda Cess is already working on mastering his next project.

“The music is picking up, and I’m trying to follow it up and just keep making better music. … I’m always trying to be greater as an artist.”

Booda Cess said, ultimately, his hope as an artist is that the messages in his lyrics come through impactfully to his listener.

“I want to just deliver the message. I don’t have the grandiose, ‘I want to be big-time’ type of deal. I just want to make great music and people appreciate it,” he said.
