Proposed amendments to Charleston County’s existing tree removal ordinance passed their first reading Jan. 30

County gives narrow nod to remove tree protections

News 02.02.2024

By Skyler Baldwin

Charleston County Council gave first approval Jan. 30 to amend an existing ordinance that would remove some regulations against tree removal on county road and drainage project sites. The council voted 5-4 to pass the measure. Those for it were council members Joe Boykin, Jenny Honeycutt, Brantley Moody, Teddie Pryor and Herb Sass, the chairman. Opposed were council members Henry Darby, Larry Kobrovsky, Kylon Middleton and Robert Wehrman. Kobrovsky said the proposal will erode citizen rights and hurt the ecosystem. “Every day we see things disappear in the landscape from what we love about this place,” Kobrovsky said. “And for many decades I’ve lived here, watching it slowly happen. I think I speak for most people when I say this is another step in that direction.” Under current rules, the county’s Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) oversees the county’s ability to cut trees and other regulations on road and drainage projects. Sass says those regulations cause these projects to take months longer than necessary. “The city of Charleston, the town of Mount Pleasant, the Highway Department — they don’t have to go through a BZA to get a tree taken out of a drainage ditch or right-of-way,” he said. “We would like to

have that same right.” The proposed amendment would give the county the ability to vote directly on tree removal in cases like these, but some say it takes power away from community members who participate in public hearings during BZA meetings. “They said public comment is enough for people, but only 15 people can speak, and they’re limited to two minutes. People have all kinds of concerns that come before every meeting, so that really limits the impact tremendously. It’s not remotely the same.” Now, the proposed amendments to the ordinance need to pass two more readings to go into effect, and Kobrovsky said that gives the public some opportunity to change the outcome. “The public needs to be heard about this,” he said. “They only need to change the mind of one person. Contact them. Come to the meetings. Use the limited public comment we have.”

A noticeable pattern

Slashing tree-cutting protections is a part of a concerning trend, Kobrovsky said. “Nothing has changed in local or state law to give these projects a different context from years prior to now,” he said. “What has changed is developmental pressure. This is the next step for developers — expanding

outward into North Charleston and Mount Pleasant — and that’s what’s driving all of this, and it’s unacceptable. “It didn’t come up at the meeting, but the county is moving to build an eight-story building in a flood zone on Morrison Drive.” And development projects like these can have negative impacts on the local environment, advocacy groups said. The grand oaks that line several of Charleston County’s roadways can soak up between 4,000 and 11,000 gallons of water per year, according to the Coastal Conservation League (CCL). “Council says trees shouldn’t get in the way of drainage projects, but that’s totally backwards,” the CCL’s communities and transportation project manager Emma Berry told the Charleston City Paper in a November report. “If we had more trees, maybe we wouldn’t have so many drainage problems.” Sass, however, said existing regulations to replace removed trees would prevent ecological damage. When a tree is removed, a number of trees must be replanted elsewhere to make up for that removal. “That’s a standard we use now, and we’re more than fine with that,” he said. “We don’t anticipate this is going to be a lot,” he added. “That’s not the intent of this. I would not vote for that. We’re not taking down any tree canopies. We understand how valuable a tree is.”

Charleston County School District’s acting superintendent Anita Huggins said in a Jan. 30 statement that she intends to accept the permanent superintendent role after the board of trustees voted 5-4 Jan. 22 to offer it to her. Board chair Keith Grybowski made a motion to offer Huggins the chance to negotiate a contract as permanent superintendent. He and four others — Leah Whatley, Pam Huggins McKinney, Ed Kelley and Carlotte Bailey — voted to accept the motion. In November 2021, the five were backed by right-wing political group Moms for Liberty during their election campaigns.

Peninsula plan public forum to be Feb. 6 Charleston leaders will host a public forum to reveal a roadmap for the next 10 to 20 years of development of the Charleston peninsula. It will be 6 p.m. Feb. 6 at the International Longshoremen’s Association Local 1422 on 1142 Morrison Drive. Community members are encouraged to attend and contribute thoughts on aspects of the plan, including neighborhood design, mobility, water management, economic development and more. —Skyler Baldwin

GUN VIOLENCE COUNTER 14 shot, killed across S.C. Jan. 24 to Jan. 30 One person was injured in an apparent Jan. 27 shooting in North Charleston after officers discovered a gunshot wound on an unknown driver’s hip after his vehicle collided with a tree on Otranto Road. No names have been released, and the investigation is ongoing. Other S.C. shootings: Six others died in Greenville, Beaufort, Union, Colleton, Darlington and Chesterfield counties. Seven others were hurt in shootings across the state. Sources: S.C. official and media reports

Lawmakers consider loosening Sunday liquor rules By Lily Levin Members of the S.C. House soon may vote to loosen two old-time Sunday alcohol restrictions. While the measures were on the House contested calendar this week, a vote could come as early as next week, sources said. Advocates are optimistic both will advance into the Senate chamber. The bills — House Bill 4231, which would permit liquor sales on Sundays, and House Bill 4364, which would allow alcohol delivery and pickup from grocery stores — last week passed the House Judiciary Committee with bipartisan support. S.C. Rep. Beth Bernstein, a Richland County Democrat who is cosponsoring both bills, said the liquor sales bill, dubbed the “Sunday bill,” is primarily about helping businesses. Scott Newitt, co-owner of Firefly Bernstein Distillery in North Charleston, added the revenue from an extra day of sales would be welcome. “I’m very interested in opening up, selling bottles on Sundays because of tourism,”

and the visitors it brings, he said. But there’s a benefit for state government, too: “If we were open on Sundays, we would generate another $50,000 to $55,000 a year in taxes,” he noted. Though the Sunday sales bill would allow micro-distilleries to sell spirits on Sundays, it wouldn’t automatically get rid of so-called “blue laws” — the general name for Sunday regulations of certain commercial activities, such as sale of liquor in bottles. Instead, the bill would allow a referendum, meaning that municipalities could put it up to a vote. Bernstein said such a tool would allow policy flexibility, especially if “some of the more conservative areas of the state are against having liquor sales on Sunday, then they don’t have to do it.”

Out-of-state factors

Repealing blue laws has been a topic for some South Carolina legislators since 2021, when a bill to permit Sunday sales was first proposed. And in recent years, the state has been no stranger to removing alcohol restrictions. Throughout the past decade, the Palmetto State has seen the expansion of mandated hours of operation for breweries and permitted on-site tastings at distilleries, among other things. And it was

not that long ago — 2006 — that the state dumped rules requiring bars to use mini bottles to serve liquor to customers. The majority of the public supports loosening alcohol restrictions, according to polling in 2021. But there’s another element that might be swaying the legislators: out-of-state pressure. As of 2023, South Carolina was one of only five U.S. states to prohibit hard liquor sales on Sundays. Georgia recently lifted its Sunday ban, which might have consequences for its neighbor. For example, Newitt added, “We didn’t have a lottery until North Carolina and Georgia and Tennessee had lotteries,” and officials realized how much money was being lost — money spent right across the state lines. Though some conservatives oppose the measure for religious reasons, a major voice against the bill comes from mom-and-pop liquor stores. Some in the spirit industry said this might be because liquor shop owners are worried they’d be forced to open on Sundays to remain competitive within the market, Courtesy Firefly Distillery even though these stores wouldn’t benefit too heavily from a seventh day.

Spoleto 2024 to celebrate shared humanity By Chloe Hogan Spoleto Festival USA returns May 24 to June 9 with a star-studded lineup of more than 100 events to fill Charleston’s theaters, churches and outdoor spaces. From worldrenowned classical music acts like cellist Yo-Yo Ma to a drag spectacular by season 9 winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race, Sasha Velour, there is something for everyone this year. Notably, it’s also the first time the festival offers family-friendly performances, said Lauren Van Liew, Spoleto’s media relations manager. A highlight of those familyoriented performances includes a spellbinding production of The Ugly Duckling from America’s Got Talent semi-finalists Lightwire Theater, a dance troupe from New Orleans known for its electroluminescent costumes.

In this year’s recently released ticket brochure, general director Mena Mark Hanna underscores that during the 17-day festival this spring, Charleston will celebrate shared humanity through “the incalculable emotional power of the performing arts.” “Art is the connective tissue of our society; it is the antidote to the cacophonous digital echo chamber,” Hanna said in the brochure. “It is through art that we can examine our origins and our founding myths.” Audiences will find wider themes of shared humanity and recontextualizing age-old stories through contemporary lenses exemplified in perhaps the most anticipated world premiere of the season, Ruinous Gods. Announced at the end of last season, this operatic work explores the trauma of forced displacement through the eyes of a 12-year-old girl and her mother. The opera weaves together elements from myths and fairy tales with real testimonies from survivors — resulting in an operatic dreamscape depicting resignation syndrome, a child’s psychological response to displacement. Musically, the work is rooted in the traditions of Arabic Maqam and Western classical music (though the work does not name a specific setting). In a joint statement, composer Layale Chaker and librettist Lisa Schlesinger said: “Ruinous Gods challenges political otherness through music that amplifies marginalized voices and incites and fosters curiosity, connection, empathy and openness.”

Curbside pickup and delivery

H.B. 4364, the other bill on the House calendar, allows curbside delivery of beer and wine from the grocery store, a measure Bernstein said Gov. Henry McMaster authorized during the height of Covid. “It just makes sense that you would continue to have [the same mandate]” today, she added. Bernstein told the City Paper the bill was held up in committee due to some concerns about it increasing “DUIs and things of that nature,” but that there’s no “real evidence to support that assertion.” According to Krista Hinson, executive director of the S.C. Retail Association, a group strongly in favor of H.B. 4364, the bill “would not change when or where alcohol can be sold nor would it change who can purchase it. The bill includes age verification and training requirements to ensure purchases are legal, no matter which method a customer chooses to use to shop.” Bernstein added that in addition to supporting the proposal for the sake of continuity, it’s an important accessibility measure. “A lot of people use curbside delivery. It really helps the busy working mom or family who uses that service frequently,” she said, highlighting the inconvenience of having to take, say, the kids into the supermarket only to buy alcohol. But though this legislation has bipartisan backing, Hinton said she isn’t certain it will pass in the state Senate. “Senate rules make it easier for a single senator to block a bill,” Hinson said, “so additional procedural moves could be required to get to debate in that chamber, even with strong support.”

Blotter of the Week

North Charleston police on Jan. 26 pulled over a vehicle on Northwoods Boulevard for having an illegal window tint, but found the driver’s purse full of roughly 20 “used and unused” needles. The woman reportedly told officers “she uses them for methamphetamine” and that was the “sole purpose” of having them. No surprise — she was arrested. Sure, buddy A Mount Pleasant man on Jan. 29 reported to police that several kids ran through his backyard and used his recycling barrel to jump over his fence. He told police he “would hate to see one of them getting hurt,” but we know that really just means he’d “hate to see his recycling barrel get hurt.” What a cliffhanger A North Charleston woman on Jan. 26 reportedly tried to steal about $200 worth of clothes from a Northwoods Boulevard department store for “a job interview,” she told police. She was arrested for shoplifting, which means we probably won’t ever find out how the job interview went.

EDITORIAL

Trustees need to be leaders, not children he Charleston County School District’s (CCSD) Board of Trustees really needs to step up as leaders for everyone in the county instead of acting as two distinct cliques. They need to unite, not divide. They should collaborate, not eviscerate. They must put students first, not their own tunnel visions of school policy. We understand how it’s hard to listen, compromise, work collaboratively and sometimes take a middle course. It’s much easier to ram something down the throats of people with whom you disagree, especially when you have the votes to do what you want. But that doesn’t make that kind of behavior right, just, kind or compassionate. Frankly, it’s just plain rude. Two January incidents illustrate how trustees took the low road, not the high. First came a closed Jan. 18 meeting of the conservative group Moms for Liberty at a Mount Pleasant hotel. New CCSD chairman Keith Grybowski agreed to speak about his experiences as a trustee over the last year plus address a controversial English Language Arts curriculum. “To me, any group that would like me to talk, I’m more than happy to talk about my experience as a trustee,” Grybowski said, seemingly ignoring the bigger hat he wears as board chair. The rub here, of course, is that Moms for Liberty, unlike an Exchange Club or Rotary Club, doesn’t allow the press and observers who aren’t members to listen to what a public official is saying about public policy. And since Grybowski

and four others on the board form a majority backed by Moms for Liberty, the incident smells of rotten fish and has the appearance of special treatment. Rather than shuffling along that he was just merely talking to the group as one of nine, he is the board chair. He should have insisted that the meeting be open to anyone. To do less wasn’t acceptable. Four days later came the Gang of Five’s unexpected move to push through an offer for acting superintendent Anita Huggins to negotiate a three-year contract to become the district’s permanent superintendent. The vote blindsided the board’s four-member minority whose members thought they were going to develop a process to search for a new superintendent following last year’s debacle with Dr. Eric Gallien. The criticism here isn’t about Anita Huggins, who indicated this week that she would accept the job as permanent superintendent after meeting with all nine board members. The issue is about process — that the board’s majority, with Grybowski making the motion, roiled the minority instead of spending time to bring them along and embrace Huggins. It is completely conceivable that had they been involved in the process, the vote on Huggins would have been unanimous, not split. We deserved unity, not continued division. This board, warts and all, may have a unifier in Huggins. But the board needs to work together and become the leaders we want them to be for the good of all students.

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.

OPINION

Take a look at everyday costs in S.C. By Andy Brack It’s not uncommon for folks to mope that the cost of things has soared so much that they don’t know what they’re going to do with themselves.

Similarly, the real price of milk has been fairly steady. Seventeen years ago, it was $3.50 a gallon, which is $4.34 per gallon when adjusted for inflation. That’s exactly the national average cost per gallon in December, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. And look at another cost that people conBut is it true?

be low. The median sales price in S.C. now is $363,700, according to RedFin. Third, the cost of health care has skyrocketed. Even with Obamacare for many, costs are high and unaffordable for many more. U.S. health care spending at $12,555 per person per year is about twice that of other wealthy countries. So with costs on all but a few staples, like milk and gas, being higher, what can be done at the policy level? First, it wouldn’t hurt for state lawmakers to pass a $15 per hour minimum wage. South Carolina, one of five states without a minimum wage, follows the $7.25 per hour federal standard. Doing more for minimum wage workers would help in a big way and studies have shown it won’t put businesses out of business. (Look at how many fast food joints now pay $15 an hour because they can’t get the help otherwise.) Second, state lawmakers should expand Medicaid eligibility, which they stubbornly have refused to open up for more than 300,000 South Carolinians because of the word “Obama” in Obamacare.

An approach to flood control flows into Charleston EDITOR’S NOTE: Senior Projects Editor Herb Frazier traveled to Holland last month to take a deep dive into how the original Lowcountry handles water, water everywhere. Here’s what he found out.

Feature 02.02.2024

By Herb Frazier

AMSTERDAM | The Dutch solution to flood control is not confined to its iconic 17th century crescent-shaped network of canals lined with skinny houses and flat houseboats that form an inner-city drainage and transportation system in Amsterdam’s historic core. In the Netherlands, half the size of South Carolina with a third of it below sea level, the Dutch have devised modest, innovative ways to channel and capture water. Some of these basic ideas are being used today in Charleston’s flood-prone neighborhoods. Dutch water-control experts came to Charleston in 2017 to consult with city officials. That led to a 252-page “Dutch Dialogues” report released in October 2019. Since then, it has guided Charleston’s planning as sea levels slowly rise. For the past half century, Dutch engineers have created options beyond canals, dikes and other large infrastructure projects to store and divert stormwater, tame swollen rivers and hold back a rising North Sea. Rain gardens, planted mostly in the newer Amsterdam neighborhoods along sidewalks, feature water-absorbing

Daniel Goedbloed (above), program manager at Amsterdam Rainproof, peddles along a dike that runs along the Amstel River south of Amsterdam. The dike prevents flooding, but it’s also a bike and pedestrian path. It is an example of how the Dutch integrate other benefits within flood control measures, a philosophy Dutch experts brought to Charleston in 2017 during the Dutch Dialogues. Early settlers in the Netherland used windmills and canals (right) to reclaim land and move sewage away from Amsterdam’s neighborhoods. It’s a centuries-old process that has created a network of iconic canals now used for transportation and commerce that projects a modern-day Dutch identity.

Impacts of Charleston’s Dutch Dialogues

In Charleston, Dale Morris, the city’s resilience officer, said forecasters predict the sea here will rise 14 inches by 2050. Adding 14 inches of sea level rise to major tidal flood levels in Charleston is similar to the storm surge levels from the Dec. 17 nor’easter, which could happen six to 12 times annually by 2050. The nor’easter surge was about 4 feet above the city’s normal high tide, which coincided with 4.02 inches of rain. The combined tidal surge and drenching, he explained, worsened the flooding. It was the city’s fourth highest storm surge. Hurricane Hugo was the highest in 1989. Morris emphasized that tropical force winds like a hurricane did not push the Dec. 17 nor’easter surge, which creates concern for future weather events. When Dutch consultants, including Goedbloed, visited Charleston in 2017, they encouraged local planners to think differently about storm surges, rainfall and daily tides. They suggested they look to find solutions within the context of the Lowcountry’s landscape and integrate flood risk mitigation within the city’s planning, Morris said. “The Dutch don’t have smarter engineers. The Dutch think more creatively about integrated benefits,” said Morris, who was codirector of the Dutch Dialogues workshops in Charleston. At that time, Morris, a Pittsburgh

In the winter, plants in the garden are dormant. native, was an economist working with the Dutch Embassy in Washington, D.C. Morris, Goedbloed and others were invited to New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina to hold the first Dutch Dialogues in the Crescent City. Unlike New Orleans after it faced devastation, Charleston does not have to rebuild its flood-control infrastructure, Morris said. Instead, Charleston is following the key suggestions in a Dutch Dialogues report and has incorporated portions of it into its 10-year comprehensive plan that will guide where the city should and should not build, Morris said. The report encourages the city to “eliminate, or substantially reduce, the placement of fill or other structures that decrease the infiltration and absorption performance” of flood-prone areas. For the plan to have the force of law, however, the city is rewriting zoning ordinances for the first time since the 1960s, Morris said. The zoning update is expected in mid2025, he added. The Charleston Rainproof initiative, which began in 2019, was one of the first efforts from the Dutch Dialogues to introduce residents to rain gardens and other rainwater harvesting systems. The simple rain garden prevents stormwater from flowing into the city’s drainage system, which will require future infrastructure investments, Morris explained.

Ongoing projects

Charleston has flood-control projects across the city, Morris said. Some areas with initial flood control efforts include the Lockwood Corridor/Medical District downtown, Vardell’s and New Market creeks in Charleston’s Eastside, Johns Island’s Barberry Woods neighborhood, Church Creek Basin in West Ashley near the Shadowmoss subdivision, the peninsula and the coastal zones. The areas were

part of the early Dutch Dialogues research where solutions created could be applied elsewhere, he said. The city and the federal government bought homes in flood-prone sections of Church Creek in West Ashley’s Shadowmoss subdivision. The plan for the area calls for converting the low places where people once lived into a park that can CONTINUED ON PAGE 14

plants. Water that spills over riverbanks is impounded in low-lying areas that also double as parks and playgrounds. A new city ordinance requires developers to install rainwater storage on the roofs of new buildings to hold water that can be used to flush toilets or sprinkle plants. “We try to capture rainwater where it falls,” said Daniel Goedbloed, program manager at Amsterdam Rainproof, a program run by Waternet, Amsterdam’s water management agency that advises households and businesses on how to handle extreme rainfall. “It’s a lot of small droplets in the city to keep the water level manageable,” Goedbloed said at the Waternet headquarters in a high-rise building overlooking the Amstel River in Amsterdam South. The Dutch have a reason to watch water carefully: A 1953 storm killed 1,836 people. After that catastrophe, the Netherlands built a series of dikes, levees, dams and massive storm surge barriers that the American Society of Civil Engineers called one of the seven wonders of the modern world. But Goedbloed provides a warning that a severe storm or the eventual sea level rise still could exceed Amsterdam’s ability to pump out the excess water. “There will always be severe rainfall events that will exceed what we now are designed for,” he told the Charleston City Paper. “We are now thinking of which adaptive pathways are possible and how the Netherlands can adapt and protect itself.”

Next: A regional flood control plan

When Dale Morris became the city’s resilience officer in 2021, he called surrounding governments to talk about flooding. He was surprised there was no regional collaboration. Since then, Charleston, Mount Pleasant and other local governments are supporting a $2 million grant application to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to develop a regional resilience plan. The Berkeley, Charleston and Dorchester Council of Governments applied for the money and would manage the grant. The NOAA application, he said, “is based on the plan the city is developing, and it will guide the regional resilience for the tri-county.” Susan Lyons, chairman of Groundswell, a local grassroots advocacy group that educates the public on ways to stem flooding, welcomes a regional approach to combating flooding. “Water knows no boundaries, and all of us are bound to have serious problems, if the predictions come true about sea level rise and continuing global warming,” said Lyons, who lives on Charleston’s west side. “We should all be talking to each other.” Lyons said she’s encouraged that Charleston’s new mayor, Williams Cogswell, mentioned flood control in his recent inaugural address. She’s also happy that the S.C. Office of Resilience

also be used to store water, an approach borrowed from the Dutch. Construction is expected to start this year. On Johns Island, the city will use an unoccupied area near Barberry Woods to cut flood risk in areas with existing homes, he said. On Charleston’s Eastside in Vardell’s Creek — in the footprint of the old Cooper River Bridge and at New Market Creek under the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge — the city will restore the marsh in those areas to improve the marsh’s ability to store more water, Morris said. He said the city missed an opportunity to build a retention pond as recommended in the Dutch Dialogues by instead allowing development to occur in the footprint of the old Cooper River Bridge along Lee Street. And in a controversial proposed project, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will pay 65% of the $1.3 billion cost to elevate the edges of the peninsular to support a wall that would begin near Magnolia Cemetery on the Cooper River and end at the north end of the Wagener Terrace neighborhood on the Ashley River. The city will pay the remaining 35%, and Charleston will receive financial credit for the land it uses to build the structure, reducing its cost from $455 million to

has written a statewide resilience and risk reduction plan. She said she is concerned, however, that Charleston County Council barely acknowledged flooding in a draft of its 2025-2027 Strategic Plan. “The county does not seem to be as aggressive on the issue as compared to the city of Charleston,” she said. “That is a problem, and it is a problem in securing regional agreements.” Lyons said she is also concerned about what effect sea level rise will have on homeowners and flood insurance for the cost of existing and new homes. Since the Netherlands’ 1953 flood catastrophe, the Dutch government has been responsible for flood defenses and flood damage compensation. Flood insurance does not exist in the Netherlands. “The Dutch government has chosen to self-insure against flood risk, hence the strong focus on flood prevention,” Morris said. Charleston should not allow homes built “in areas that you know are going to flood more and more in the future,” he said. If that happens, the city would be “condemning people to lose equity in their homes,” he said. “We have to modernize our ordinances and approach development practices [differently] so we don’t have regretful situations in 20 to 30 years.”

“

We should not have a single-purpose piece of infrastructure. Getting additional benefits from infrastructure is a more efficient use of tax dollars.” —Dale Morris

about $300 million, Morris said. The structure, if built, would block a storm surge and have pumps to remove rainwater trapped in the city, he said. Congress has approved the wall project, but the city and the Army Corps of Engineers must “finalize a design agreement before any design and engineering can be done,” Morris explained. “Only after the design phase is completed could construction start. City Council has to approve funding for each phase.” The storm surge structure could have multiple uses, such as a pedestrian walkway in places, a feature of the Dutch way of thinking. “We should not have a single-purpose piece of infrastructure,” Morris warned. “Getting additional benefits from infrastructure is a more efficient use of tax dollars.”

Be sure to check out DJ Sparkbox from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. every Saturday. Bonus superlative: Revelry’s new Folly Beach outpost is also a cool place to take pals, but we really like the idea of heading there for a refreshing solo beverage after a long walk on the beach.

Best place for live music

While a lot of local breweries offer great live and local music, we’re partial to the loading dock at Palmetto Brewery (Downtown). With an outdoor area that underwent a complete overhaul in 2019, Palmetto is the perfect spot to catch some live tunes.

High Score Brewing (North Charleston) opened at the end of last year and features arcade and console games from the 1970s to 2000s. Enjoy beer or some of the spot’s house-made craft sodas.

Best place for rule-following kids

Last year, The Garden by Charles Towne Fermentory (West Ashley) posted new rules for kids (and their parents) on Instagram and around the brewery. The very reasonable rules set a new precedent for how families — often breweries’ most frequent visitors — should act at a brewery.

Chef Derick Wade visits local oyster farms to select which bivalves hit the table at The Darling

The Darling’s oyster program is serious, delicious business

Cuisine 02.02.2024

By Amethyst Ganaway

Locals and travelers alike flock to the The Darling Oyster Bar on King Street for the establishment’s famed bivalves. Helmed by executive chef Derick Wade, the team works closely with local oyster farmers to procure the freshest oysters for guests. Every local oyster offered at The Darling is sourced from a farm that the team has personally visited and built a direct working relationship with. In 2023, Wade became part of the Oyster Master Guild and is working to get his oyster master certification to become an “Oyster Master Certified™ Oyster Sommelier” in the guild’s inaugural class, happening throughout 2024.

A chef’s oyster journey

Working at The Darling is what got Wade more involved with meeting and procuring ingredients from local oyster farmers, but it

wasn’t until he visited his first oyster farm that he was hooked. “I feel like the farmers are some of the most fascinating people and in learning more about what they do, I fell in love with the process, more than just the Wade product,” he said. In addition to being hands-on with the oyster farms where The Darling sources product, the restaurant and team have expanded their reach into other areas of the oyster industry. The Darling is involved with Oyster South (a nonprofit that aims to “connect communities and provide resources to support oyster farmers, cultivate thriving communities, promote healthy waters and celebrate good food in the southern United States”). The Darling works closely with the South Carolina

Department of Natural Resources and its SCORE Program, which recycles oyster shells from various local restaurants and festivals by processing and using the discarded shells to grow new oyster reefs. “Community involvement and collaborations happen constantly in this industry,” Wade said. “A few off the top of my head are Shuck Cancer of Charleston with the American Cancer Society, Oysterfest at the South Carolina Aquarium, Shucked during Charleston Wine + Food and so many more. These collaborations bring everyone together and encourage the overall community to continue to learn new things, share ‘tricks of the trade’ and more. It is a very community-driven industry, far more than people may even realize.”

Quality taste and local ingredients

While The Darling does source some oysters on its menu from other regions, the team prides themselves on working directly with local oyster farmers who serve up the salty, sweet and succulent oysters grown and harvested in the Lowcountry. “A few things we keep in mind when partnering with oyster farms are the salinity of the water, the secludedness of the waterway CONTINUED ON PAGE 20

Cleats is now open in The Refinery, serving up elevated pub fare and any sport you want to watch on their big TVs

Cleats is not just another sports bar By Gabriela Capestany

Cuisine 02.02.2024

While “a sports bar that isn’t strictly a sports bar” is an idea that may not seem clear at first, Jeremiah Schenzel, owner of Daps Breakfast & Imbibe, has come up with a fresh vision with his new restaurant, Cleats. The spot officially opened its doors late last month and aims to bring everyone into the fold around a love of “the game” and what modern sporting events stand for. The wider sports fan culture has started to shift its focus from traditional sporting events; women’s leagues such as the WNBA

Jeremiah Schenzel wants all guests, no matter their sports preferences, to feel welcome at Cleats

and National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) have gathered increasing popularity and broadcast time. Schenzel hopes to capitalize on this shift by taking the focus away from a specific team or sport, something that classic sports bars tend to lean into. “So when you’re talking about a traditional sports bar you might always [think of] only football, or a certain team, but Cleats will be more of a wide variety of sports,” Schenzel explained. “I think the biggest thing is from our perspective, it shouldn’t matter if a man or a woman is playing the sport, it’s what does the sport bring to the table, right?” Schenzel stayed focused on a community-driven, approachable path so Cleats could appeal to a wide range of guests, from casual watchers to diehard fans. The idea of community is front and center at Cleats, which aims to bring people together around the “community of sport.” “The whole idea was, how do we kind of stem from the community concept?” Schenzel said. “Whenever you are with your group of friends, and say it’s Saturday, and your friends ask to grab a beer and hang out, and there’s always that one friend who’s like ‘I would love to, but I want to watch the game.’ Maybe you don’t care, but you want to be with your friends. Cleats is where you can go and know the games will be on; it’s part of the culture, but it’s not defining the culture.”

The community of sport (and good eats)

Based in The Refinery, Cleats’ location plays a major role in what Schenzel sees as a spot where people can enjoy the bar alongside events, concerts and other local businesses. Cleats plans to offer a local beer menu and kegged cocktails, but Schenzel insists that classic, light beer will still be on the menu for an authentic sports pub experience too. The menu at Cleats offers a more refined take on classic pub food, specifically sandwiches and hot dogs, while still maintaining an easy-going and lighthearted vibe. “The Refinery is a really great area and with this project we actually got a chance to test most of the food before we ever opened and get a feel for what we wanted to do since we did pop-ups at all of the concerts over the summer,” Schenzel explained. A standout that he’s excited about is Cleats’ Baltimore-style “pit beef” sandwich with thinly shaved beef, raw onions and horseradish sauce on a potato roll. Fans of classic hot dogs can expect a rotating menu of four different options, each with a new riff on the classic sportsgoing food option. “We do a Thai dog that has a curry mayonnaise, cilantro and jalapenos on it, and then we do a border dog with refried beans. It’s just really fun stuff.” Aside from the meat selections, Schenzel emphasizes that Cleats will always have vegetarian and vegan options available. After a soft opening and several pop-ups, Schenzel said Cleats is officially open for business and ready for kickoff. “We’re just really excited to get people out here.” Cleats is open 10:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. Wednesday through Monday (although Schenzel insists that they’ll stay open later if a big game is on).

and overall water quality,” Wade said. “All of these factors play a role in the taste and overall appearance of the oysters.” The taste, texture and size of oysters can vary widely and have nuances as complex as cheese or wine. A few of the local oysters served to diners at The Darling are the “Lowcountry Cups” from Lowcountry Oyster Company, the “Perky Sea Cups” from Charleston Oyster Farm and the “Single Lady” oysters from Lady’s Island. There are different ways to eat the many types of oysters, and Wade said he isn’t picky. “I am a purist, so to speak. I like to eat the first oyster straight up in order to taste the full flavor profile from it,” he said. “After that, I love dressing a raw oyster with The Darling’s house-made hot sauce and our house-made cocktail sauce. Other ways I enjoy eating oysters include getting creative and adding uni or caviar, or if I am looking to enjoy a baked oyster, I go for the classic Oysters Rockefeller or The Darling’s spin on baked oysters with Alabama white sauce and smoked bacon.”

Enjoy The Darling’s oysters straight-up or topped with a little bit of house-made hot sauce But to Wade and The Darling’s team, the most important thing outside of serving up quality oysters is building and educating the community about oysters. “Getting the chance to work with individuals who are trying to make our ecosystems and waterways a better place is one of the coolest aspects of all of this,” Wade said. “I always try to take staff with me on oystering trips, but especially when I get back, I love teaching everyone about the impact that we all have on the environment around us.”

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. Petitioners request that should any matter be contested that they be awarded attorney fees and costs pursuant to S.C. Code Ann. §63-9-310(F) (5). WHEREFORE, the Petitioners pray for: 1. The termination of Respondent Michael Scott Payne’s and Kayla Payne’s parental rights; 2. The adoption of the minor child, Michael S.P. Jr., by the Petitioners Lisa Uldrick and Lake Scott Cely; 3. The Court to waive the pre-placement and post placement investigations, the accounting, and the ninety (90) day waiting period; 4. The Court to appoint Nela Laughridge as Guardian ad Litem to protect the interest of the minor child; 5. The Court to issue a restraining order as outlined above; 6. The Court to award attorney fees and costs should any matter be contested; 7. The records of these proceedings be sealed; and 8. The Court to issue such other and further relief as it may deem just and proper.

Photographer Bramblett documents rising sea levels

Culture 02.02.2024

By Tiare Solis

For many Charlestonians, flooded streets are a phenomenon you learn to expect. What may be a catastrophe in other cities is commonplace here. Locals are used to seeing social media videos of people kayaking through the streets and water creeping up dangerously high on street-parked cars. Residents know how to prepare, and the flooded streets can, at times, bring an added sense of camaraderie with fellow residents of the Holy City. But the truth is, the city’s flooding is a problem. Jared Bramblett, a Bramblett water resources engineer by trade, combined his engineering knowledge with his talent for photography to launch the Mean High Water Project in 2020. Bramblett named the documentary photography project after the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association’s (NOAA) tidal datum, which tracks the average of high water heights.

As Bramblett explains on his website, over the last 30 years or so, Charleston Harbor has seen an increase of more than 200% in coastal flooding from 18.8 annual coastal floods in the 1990s to 42.4 in the 2010s. Bramblett told the Charleston City Paper the project is “a call to action … [ I want to] raise awareness that things are changing.” His photography depicts these changes, and you’ve probably seen them: Bramblett’s first photo to go viral was a shot taken during Hurricane Irma in 2017 (above). The photo shows the tide going out from the harbor over The Battery sea wall onto Murray Boulevard, almost making it a part of the sea. This photo captured the thirdhighest tide Charleston had ever seen. Through his photography and accompanying writing, Bramblett illustrates an issue which he believes needs more attention. But the primary concern, he said, is that as sea levels continue to rise, the tidal floods caused by tropical systems like hurricanes become riskier.

Bramblett’s connection to tidal floods is obvious — he’s a Charlestonian and a water

Jared Bramblett’s photos reveal a fascination with the relationship between humans and the natural world resources engineer — but the road to photography wasn’t quite as clear. Bramblett never thought it would become such a passion in his life, he said, but the engineer in him wanted to understand the technical components of the camera. “I was here in Charleston for several years before I actually bought a camera,” CONTINUED ON PAGE 30

I was very uncomfortable with expressing or embracing my femininity, especially in a music venue where women have to know their shit and be twice as good as a guy in order to be respected half as much. “So it was very empowering and full circle to be to be fully myself on stage, where the rock ‘n’ roller was paired with the girl in me that did ballet and had a castle painted on her wall and loved pink and purple. I kind of lost that along the way.” Her backing band itself has also evolved beyond her tried and true power trio, with a touring keyboardist on board to recreate some of the parts from the new album. But Wicklund is clear she’s also not dismissing those early, formative years — she still thinks of her time in Charleston quite fondly, for instance, and is pointedly opening her tour here as an acknowledgment that it’s the place her musical journey really started. “I owe Charleston a lot,” she said. “My song ‘Strawberry Moon,’ which is also what I named my record label, was written at and references my place out on Stono Drive on James Island, the first place I lived on my own.” Wicklund takes the stage at Music Farm Feb. 8. Show starts at 9 p.m.; doors open at 8 p.m. Tickets are $20 in advance or $25 at the door.

Bramblett said. “And it just kind of happened that I became passionate from an engineering standpoint about coastal resilience and watching and seeing the increase in tidal flood events.” He started photographing the streets of Charleston in 2010, and in 2015, turned his focus towards photographing flooding. For Bramblett, it was a merge between his passions for coastal resilience and the power of photography to preserve the way things look today. Over the last decade of photographing Charleston, Bramblett said he’s witnessed as buildings that were once nearly dilapidated become popular eateries. Now, he sees his photography as more than a documentation of floods or buildings — it became a way to document how humans cope and respond to change.

Going out in the rain

In a city like Charleston, it’s easy to find something to do during those record tidal floods that may keep you dry. While many frequent local watering holes or hunker down at home watching TV, Bramblett sees an opportunity to create. Charleston’s tidal floods are predicted in advance, so on days when floods are supposed to occur, Bramblett hops on his bike, throws on his boots and a pair of hip waders and takes photos of the flood. “I like to take photos of what flooding looks like in Charleston today because it’s going to look different in the future,” he said. “Flood risk is changing and the sea level is rising, but it’s also going to look different because we’re going to hopefully change the way that we respond to and live with water.” Bramblett hopes his work can help inspire changes in how residents interact

The Mean High Water project has captured nearly a decade of rising seas with water. He gives a relatively simple example: not plowing through the flood waters. It may feel like part of the entertainment, but when cars drive through the floods, they send wakes into people’s homes and vehicles that can create flood damage. Still, a lot of the change would have to be significant changes to the city itself. Many of the streets prone to flooding were once tidal creeks, so the question becomes: Now that there are buildings and homes in these areas, what infrastructure can be put in place to alleviate damage? It’s a layered answer, Bramblett said. “Charleston is a historic city, and people were really proud of what Charleston is,” he said. “We need to preserve the character. We need to preserve the history, but it’s also going to require us to change some things if we want to protect it.”
