Rundown CARTA seeks input on draft downtown transit improvement plan The Charleston Area Regional Transportation Authority (CARTA) wants public feedback on its Downtown Charleston Transit Study, a proposed service plan for the peninsula. Currently in draft form, the plan aims to boost ridership and service quality by making improvements to existing transit services. The transit proposal was created after the project team heard from several community members about “changes needed to support downtown travel,” as well as suggested updates to services and infrastructure, according to a press release. An online survey will be available until March 13. For more information regarding the Downtown Charleston Transit Study, visit bcdcog.com. —Staff Reports

Haley, Trump face off Saturday in GOP primary

News 02.23.2024

By Andy Brack

Underdog and former Gov. Nikki Haley is seeking to best former President Donald Trump in a Saturday Republican primary showdown that has gotten increasingly combative in recent days. Last week, Trump held a 2-1 lead in two state polls, but more recent polling showed Haley closing the gap. In a campaign whistle stop on Feb. 17 at Freshfields Village near her Kiawah Island home, Haley took repeated swipes at Trump. “There were 14 candidates and we’ve defeated 12 of the fellows — and I’ve just got one more fellow left to defeat,” Haley said during the stop. She then criticized Trump for focusing in recent days on just about everything other than issues that Americans care about. For example, she said he’s talked about his massive fines from

court cases in which he is involved, her husband’s military deployment and even what she wore one night. “At no point did he talk about the American people — about the 31% of eighth graders who aren’t proficient in reading; about the $34 trillion national debt; about our open borders” and the international conflicts going on around the world. “All he did is talk about himself. We’ve got to get beyond these candidates who focus only on themselves, not the American people.” Later, she added, “It is time we finally put the past behind us and elect a new conservative generational leader.” Also during the weekend, Haley encouraged the 3 million South Carolina registered voters who didn’t cast ballots in the Feb. 3 Democratic presidential primary to vote in the Republican one. Groups across the state also have been

Johns Island housing project is critical, Charleston leaders say A new 72-unit affordable housing project for Johns Island’s senior residents (age 62 and older) has been a long time in the making, developers and community leaders said. Named for local civil rights hero Esau Jenkins, the Esau Jenkins Village, now under construction at 3627 Maybank Highway, is being called “the culmination of our parents’ vision for safe, clean, decent affordable housing for all on these islands” by Elaine Jenkins, the youngest daughter of Esau and his wife Janie. Charleston County Council member Joe Boykin, who represents the sea islands in District 8, said this new development is crucial for the Johns Island community. “A lot of our affordable housing in the county tends to be in more urbanized areas,” he said in an interview this week. “But the sea islands have a culture and population that’s unique to itself — and it’s aging. Rather than have these folks move away from where they’ve grown up and raised their children, I think it’s a benefit for them to stay close to their roots. They don’t have to move to a different place to enjoy their golden years.” And the project is only the first

step in a longer process. Johns Island Rural Housing, an affordable housing development across the street from the Esau Jenkins Village site, is also slated to be totally revamped in the future.

‘Financial spaghetti’

Boykin said Charleston County Council was the final piece of the new project’s puzzle, pledging $3.26 million of its federal American Rescue Plan money to bridge the gap to the project’s funding goals. “This project, a very needed and critical one, was in dire straits,” Boykin said. “It might not have happened, and the council was really proud to be able to support it the way we did.” The total funds raised — $25.9 million — came from more than 10 sources and four levels of government assistance altogether. It includes participation from the City of Charleston, Charleston County, the State of South Carolina and the United States Department of Housing and Community Development.

A rendering of the coming Esau Jenkins Village on Johns Island shows what community leaders hope is the start of a trend of improvements Finance and Development Authority, said bringing together so many financial and planning partners on the project shows how badly how many people wanted it to succeed. “Financing affordable housing has been described as financing lasagna — this was more like spaghetti,” he said. “There were a couple key factors that this community did not have control over, including unprecedented spikes in construction costs

and changes in legislation that impacted the taxpayer. Working through that … took a lot of effort from a lot of different people.”

Bar owners struggle as legislators search for solutions By Jack O’Toole Soaring liquor liability insurance costs continue to challenge — and outrage — bar owners across South Carolina. But the quick-fix many were hoping for from the General Assembly appears to have gotten bogged down in the perennial legislative battle over lawsuit reform. So the question now facing bar owners is whether they can find a way to keep their doors open while the major players in that long-running “tort reform” debate — insurance companies, large corporations, trial lawyers and victims advocates — duke it out in the state legislature. And for many bar owners, the answer to that question could well be no. “Unless I’m able to pull some sort of a magic rabbit out of a hat, we may be going down in the next two weeks,” Joe Clarke of Forte’s Jazz Club in Charleston said. Clarke, who notes that he’s never had a claim against his liquor liability policy, said he’s seen his premiums skyrocket from $6,000 in 2019 to $32,000 today — with the best quote so far for his upcoming March renewal currently at $42,000. Still, like many others in the industry, Clarke is considering every option to stay open, including Clarke the possibility of taking out a loan to cover the cost of the insurance. “I’m a little too dumb to quit, I think,” he said. “I’m just very passionate about what we’re trying to do here, which is bring live jazz and local musicians up on stage so people can get a taste of the real musicianship we have to offer in Charleston.”

How we got here

News 02.23.2024

Supporters of the stalled legislation — S. 533, or the S.C. Justice Act — tell a straightforward story. Bars in South Carolina are required to carry a minimum $1 million liquor liability policy. But because

Haley CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4

Nikki Haley in this race so that she can continue to draw distinctions with him and so that he can continue to spend down resources. Our goal is not to help Nikki Haley win. It’s to help Nikki Haley survive.”

South Carolina law allows bar owners to be hit with 100% of the cost of a jury verdict in drunk driving lawsuits — even if they were found to only be 1% responsible for the harm caused by the drunk driver — insurance companies that provide this liability coverage have been losing money. And as a result, they’re now raising rates dramatically to offset those losses. Several companies have opted to leave South Carolina, too, winnowing the number of insurers to a handful. So the solution, supporters of S. 533 argue, is to reform the system such that bar owners, like most other civil defendants in South Carolina, can only be held responsible for the percentage of harm that they were found to have caused. This is what the bill they’re pushing would do. “Because of the 1% clause, insurance companies are afraid to go to court,” said Kynn Tribble, the owner of Tribble’s Bar and Grill in Piedmont and a member of S.C. Venue Crisis, a statewide group that’s fighting to lower liability rates. “In no industry should a business have to pay 100% of something they’re not 100% liable for.” But according to opponents of the legislation, that approach loses sight of the other party in the case — the victim of the drunk driver, who isn’t even 1% responsible for the harm done to her. Why, they ask, should we shift the financial loss from the insurance company onto her? Chad McGowan, who’s both a plaintiff’s attorney and a partner in Rock Hill’s Legal Remedy Brewing Company, sees the issue from both sides. And while he’s sympathetic to the plight of bar owners — his own liability coverage at Legal Remedy has risen sharply over the past two years — he’s also seen too many drunk driving cases where the underinsured driver could not pay his portion of the verdict. Under the strict percentage system created by S, 533, that would leave a victim without a way to collect her full damages. “This is a moral judgment from my perspective,” McGowan said. “When there’s a choice, losses should never be borne by the innocent individual — they should be borne by the person responsible.” Other opponents of the bill, such as S.C. Mothers Against Drunk Driving Executive Director Steven

Last week, a Winthrop Poll showed Trump with a 2-1 margin over Haley. With 65% of likely voters saying they’ll back Trump, he had a 36% lead over Haley, according to the poll of more than 1,700 voters. But among likely independent voters, the split is almost even, with 42.6% supporting Trump and 42.3% backing

Burritt, believe it simply ignores the real problem — high DUI rates that frequently land South Carolina in the top ten states in the nation for drunk driving deaths. “Part of the reason insurance rates are so terrible in this state is because drunk driving is terrible in this state,” he said. “We’re one of the worst states in the country for impaired driving … and we would put that on the table as a priority. There are many ways to get to better outcomes, and we’d like to see one that led to less people dying and being injured on the roads.”

Can legislators break the logjam?

New legislation introduced recently in the S.C. House of Representatives, H. 5066, takes a different tack — one that aims to solve the bar owners’ problem without affecting victims’ rights. Similar in principle to South Carolina’s medical malpractice insurance system, which was created to help doctors deal with rapidly rising insurance costs in the 1970s, the new proposal, dubbed the Fair Access to Insurance Act, would use existing liquor excise taxes to fund state-subsidized liquor liability policies for S.C. bar owners. And while most bar owners seem to be leery of any solution that doesn’t directly address the 1-percent rule, they’re also open to an approach that would ease opponents’ concerns about victims rights. “At this point, I’ve been listening to people go back and forth for a year and a half,” said Forte owner Clarke of the new legislation. “And I feel like, yeah, we need to take care of the people who get hurt because of people who are inebriated. That needs to be part of the equation.” But with costs continuing to rise and fewer insurance options every day, that doesn’t solve his immediate problem. “All of the insurance companies that everybody depended on have just disappeared, and now all that’s left are the ones that are willing to charge these astronomical amounts,” he said. Like the $42,000 liability premium Clarke needs to come up with by March 3.

Haley. Trump maintained a stronghold among Republican voters with 72%. But one man, a lawyer from Seabrook Island, said Saturday that he voted for Trump twice over the years, but no longer could. “He’s lost his mind,” the man said. On Feb. 16, a Citadel Poll of 1,000 registered voters showed similar results

among 505 likely Republican primary voters with 64% saying they preferred Trump and 31% for Haley. But by early this week, Haley was closing the gap, garnering 35% to Trump’s 58% to an Emerson College Polling/The Hill pool. Polls are open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday.

Jenkins as the inspiration behind the collaborative effort of the project. “In the spirit of Mr. Jenkins’ work, these 72 units will show our city’s capacity for collaborative problem solving, especially supporting our community’s most vulnerable citizens,” Charleston Mayor William Cogswell said. “There’s a reason there are people moving here, and it’s not just because of our oak trees, our built environment and our sunny beaches. “It is because the people that live here create such a community and a fabric that people want to be a part of,” he said. Hutto said the efforts taken by those involved in the project reminded him of the efforts Esau Jenkins exerted in making necessary changes in his community. “My grandmother was the same age as Mr. Jenkins. … I really never saw her sit down,” he said. “I didn’t know Mr. Jenkins, but that really reminds me of the energy and resourcefulness he certainly used. I’m sure he did sit down, but when he did, he sat down to plan and strategize and dream and change things.”

A ‘master plan’

Boykin said this development is muchneeded for the area since Maybank Highway is a corridor often characterized by dysfunctional traffic and struggling infrastructure. But several other projects are on the way to alleviate some of Johns Island’s growing pains. “One of the potential projects that’s coming is the Maybank-River interchange, which will create the southern pitchfork and widen the existing highway from three lanes to four,” Boykin explained. “It will split in the center, so we can maintain the tree canopy. A separate line item in the budget could go toward creating a center lane on Maybank Highway all that runs to Main Road, “to get turning cars out of traffic,” Boykin said. “This is all a master plan, at least, it’s my vision of one.” Boykin added he wants to add a CARTA bus route that can travel the entire span of the Maybank Highway corridor, connecting even the new Esau Jenkins Village. “I’m afraid to push for it too hard right now, because our roads are not up to quality yet,” he said. “We first need to fix that corridor to where the buses can move up and down freely.” Boykin said the rapid growth can be concerning to residents, but by being smart about it, he believes the island can retain its identity while still improving quality of life for the increasing population. “I’m willing to accept that 20% of the island is going to be urbanized at some point,” he said. “So let’s have the infrastructure we need to maintain the liveability of our residents and the culture of the rest of the 80%.”

Blotter of the Week

A North Charleston man on Feb. 14 reportedly stole a Waldorf Streichfett Synthesizer from a Dorchester Road pawn shop by hiding it under his shirt while he was selling an item of his own. Now, certainly there is no musical instrument that is easy to hide under one’s shirt, but a synthesizer cannot be the easiest. Heavy lifting North Charleston police on Feb. 15 responded to a Rivers Avenue pizza restaurant where a woman was yelling at staff. When police asked her to leave, she became combative and “due to her large size and low center of gravity,” according to the police report, it was difficult to place her in handcuffs. She was eventually arrested for breach of peace. CC us on that, please A Mount Pleasant man on Feb. 15 told Mount Pleasant police that his neighbor had stolen his personal journal and had been making threats specific to people and incidents recorded in the journal. The neighbor reportedly told the man, “$50,000 will make this go away.” Whatever ended up happening next, that was one expensive diary.

Don’t let Charleston County play voters on funding to extend Interstate 526 C

what taxpayers want to spend on these new potential projects which range from a $168 million U.S. Highway 17 project in Mount Pleasant and $126 million in Maybank Highway improvements on Johns Island to a $110 million Harborview Road project on James Island and a $142 million mobility improvement venture in North Charleston. At present, state law seems to favor the heavy hand of the county in the process because it requires the referendum to ask a simple yes/no question on whether taxpayers agree to fund an extra penny tax for a range of projects. It doesn’t appear to offer a way to ask a follow-up question in case the yes/no question fails. To that point: Is there a way to get voter approval for all of the other projects on the list without I-526? Apparently not. Charleston County Council member Larry Kobrovsky of • $1.8 billion for extending I-526; Sullivan’s Island believes it is vital to find out whether voters • $812 million for what it calls new “potential projects” would approve of other needed projects if they offered a big fat (the bribes); no to a referendum that included funding I-526.

That’s why we hope smart people will figure out a way to keep The county is taking public comments through March 6 on vital projects moving forward if the referendum on 526 fails.

harleston County Council plans to ask voters in November to renew a 1% local option sales tax to pay for $5.4 billion in transportation projects, including the county’s overwhelming share of the ominous $2.4 billion extension of Interstate 526. Watch out. You are about to be played for a sucker. Why? A penny tax is heavily tipped in the county’s favor. County council approves the wording of the question. And county council will add a bunch of carrots, bells and whistles to, in essence, bribe different areas of the county that won’t benefit from the 526 extension to vote in favor of the proposition. A preliminary summary of how the county will use the $5.4 billion from the tax includes:

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

People with everything from cancer and rheumatoid arthritis to multiple sclerosis and epilepsy will tell you the same thing about medical marijuana — it helps. For many, it helps a whole lot and in ways that traditional treatments don’t. Taken often as gummies or tinctures, medical marijuana can relieve serious nausea from chemotherapy infusions of life-giving poisons that treat cancer. It can reduce seizures. It can curb chronic pain from arthritis and conditions like cancer, multiple sclerosis, nerve damage and more. It often alleviates symptoms associated with post-traumatic stress syndrome. And medical marijuana can give many suffering from ailments enough relief to be able to rest and recuperate. There’s also evidence that it improves sleep, increases appetite in people with HIV and AIDS, and reduces anxiety. To not have medical marijuana available for South Carolinians who can really benefit from it is just plain cruel. “The medicinal benefits are well-known, especially for those suffering from chronic pain,” said S.C. Rep. To not have Marvin Pendarvis, D-Charleston. “We need to give medical marijuana those people opportunities for relief.” Now there’s a good chance that a bill that passed 24-19 available for South the Senate with bipartisan support on Feb. 14 after 10 Carolinians who can years of legislative wrangling can be signed into law. But first, the S.C. House, which put the last-minute kibosh really benefit from it on a similar measure in 2022 because there was a tax problem in the proposal, has a chance to move it forward. is just plain cruel. The sponsor of the Senate bill, Republican Sen. Tom Davis of Beaufort, says he likes the chances for final passage of the bill this year. He reportedly removed a 6% fee on medical marijuana sales that caused problems in 2022 that led to the proposal’s failure. “I can’t think of a bill that has undergone more testimony, more scrutiny and more debate,” Davis said in an Associated Press report. Davis emphasized that his “Compassionate Care Act” doesn’t seek to allow recreational marijuana use, and that under his newly passed bill, smoking marijuana would still be illegal. Patients would instead use oil, salves, patches or vaporizers. Illnesses that can be treated with marijuana products are also specified, including cancer, sickle cell anemia, autism and some post-traumatic stress disorders. Another benefit of the bill is that it could throw a roadblock in the power that the state Department of Health and Environmental Control has over product labels for legal hemp-infused beverages. A recent crackdown has some businesses feeling threatened. House members like Pendarvis say they’re cautiously optimistic of the chances of passage in the conservative House where Republicans outnumber Democrats by a 2-1 margin. A blend of Democrats, moderate Republicans and the libertarian-influenced-but conservative-Freedom Andy Brack Caucus seem to have enough votes to send the bill to Gov. Henry McMaster. is editor and But there are opponents, including some in law enforcement and the publisher of House Family Caucus.

I hope that he does.” If South Carolina lawmakers approve use of medical marijuana for some patients, it would become the 39th state to legalize its use, according to S.C. Public Radio. Let’s hope common sense prevails in a vote so that everyone retching from chemo treatments and dealing with pain can get a little relief.

New Carolinas’ Revolutionary War corridor needs money

he two Carolinas are waiting for funding from the federal government to launch a new national heritage corridor to help local groups in both states observe the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution in 2026. A year ago, President Joe Biden signed legislation into law that created the Southern Campaigns of the American Revolution Historic Corridor, a winding ribbon that joins scores of sites of battles, skirmishes and other events during the war of independence in the Carolinas. Historians often point to South Carolina as being the linchpin for the patriots’ ultimate victory, thanks to the hundreds of battles and skirmishes over eight years that stretched British supply lines and wore down troops. Among the significant conflicts in South Carolina were the Battle of Sullivan’s Island

in 1776, which was the patriots’ first naval victory in the war, and major victories at Kings Mountain in 1780 and Cowpens in 1781. Local efforts are underway across many of the former 13 American colonies. On July 4, 2026, the country will commemorate the 250th anniversary of the July 4, 1776, signing of the Declaration of Independence, which led to the war, the creation of the United States of America and the U.S. Constitution. By 1789, two-thirds of the states had ratified the document. In announcing passages of the legislation in December 2022, U.S. Rep. James E. Clyburn, D-S.C., said, “I have studied history my entire life and the Southern Campaign’s role in the American Revolution is often left out. The creation of this corridor, which closes the loop on my heritage Clyburn corridors creation efforts, will not only show the rich history of the Carolinas but also help tell a more complete history of our country.” The congressman’s office declined to

On Jan 17, 1781, patriots in South Carolina defeated British troops during the Battle of Cowpens near Chesnee. It was an important victory during the Revolutionary War to thwart the British attempts to take control of the southern colonies, which produced cash crops that could not be grown in the British Isles but were harvested cheaply in the south with slave labor. comment on the current funding status. A spokesman referred the Charleston City Paper to the National Parks Service (NPS), which manages the nation’s heritage corridors. A NPS spokesperson was not available for comment. Previously, Clyburn worked with former Congressman John Spratt, D-S.C., to pass the National Heritage Areas Act of 2006, which initially authorized the NPS to study the feasibility of establishing the corridor. The new corridor is the third federally designated heritage corridor in South Carolina. The South Carolina National Heritage Corridor, which covers the state’s western border, includes Charleston. The Gullah Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor runs along the coastal region

and also includes Charleston. Clyburn was chief sponsor of legislation that created the Gullah Geechee corridor. The new Carolinas’ corridor is one of six new heritage corridors the U.S. legislature created last year.

Waiting on funding

Dr. Lacy Ford, a retired history professor and administrator at the University of South Carolina, is the senior director of a group of people in both states forming a board of directors that would set policy for the heritage corridor. By January 2025, Ford said, he hopes a board of 12 to 15 members can be seated. Ford had worked with Clyburn’s staff on

The Powder Magazine Museum in Charleston has scheduled a series of lectures to reveal more of the Black soldiers’ role in the American Revolution and what life was like in Charleston for free people of color, enslaved people, patriot sympathizers and loyalists. Constructed in 1713, the Powder Magazine is the oldest public building in South Carolina. previous projects, and he was asked to get involved. “I want to get it off the ground then find a good person who will take it over for the next stage,” he added. Ford said he’s developing a relationship with the South Carolina American Revolution Sestercentennial Commission (SCARSC), which was created last year by the S.C. General Assembly. State lawmakers have Ford given that group $5 million. A similar organization, America 250 NC, is in North Carolina. Ford has contacted the group in the Tar Heel state. Bill Davies, vice chair of the S.C. commission, said nearly every county in South Carolina is aligned with the commission to schedule events across the state. The Battle of Camden and the Recovered Soldiers is the title of military historian Rick Wise’s lecture at 6 p.m. on Feb. 27 at First Baptist Church at 61 Church St. in Charleston. Wise is interim executive director of the South Carolina Battleground Preservation Trust.

Telling a diverse history

Ford said he and others are focused on “getting our project started at the ground level … in those areas [in South Carolina] where there was military action.” Their focus includes areas in Pickens and Cherokee counties, where patriots pushed members of the Cherokee tribe, who sided with the British, into Georgia, he said. Those counties aren’t typically on the map of Revolutionary War activity, Ford said. “But we feel like all of that and some enslaved insurrections all need to be

included in the story.” Presenting a diverse story, he said, has been part of the group’s early planning to include “the Black and Native American participation in the [colonial] society. That will draw an even broader array of people to the [Revolutionary War historic] sites.” In Charleston, the Powder Magazine also has plans to tell a diverse story through a series of lectures by Charleston historians Nic and Christina Butler, who’ve uncovered new information on what daily life was like from 1780 to 1782 during the British occupation of the city for women, free people of color, enslaved people, patriot sympathizers, loyalists, the British military and Native Americans. A $20,000 grant from the SCARSC supports the lecture series.

Stamp of approval

During the observance in South Carolina, the Revolutionary War stories should extend from the Charleston area where military activity occurred from 1776 to 1780 and from 1780 to 1782 in the interior of the state, he said. The Battle of Kings Mountain, Ford said, was a turning point of the war in South Carolina that occurred about 10 miles from where he grew up in York County. South Carolina offers Kings Mountain State Park in Blacksburg adjacent to Kings Mountain National Military Park. It is possible that the board fully formed would serve as a coordinating group to provide a stamp of federal approval for local programs, Ford said. “I hope we would award some signal of approval to anything that is appropriate and factually accurate,” Ford said. But the board would not stop a group that does not seek its approval, he said. “This is the United States,” he added. “I trust the good judgment of people to do something that is appropriate.”

Fleet Landing recently unveiled its new raw bar, part of a year-long celebration as the restaurant celebrates two decades in the Lowcountry. The 16-seat bar overlooks the Charleston Harbor and features items like oysters on the half shell, fresh fish dishes and seafood towers. Executive chef Andy McLeod said: “Crafting this menu and experimenting with recipes has been a highlight for me and the team in bringing the raw bar to life.”

Kevin Mitchell and David Shields are working with a producer at SCETV to create a show about saving heirloom foods

Chef Kevin Mitchell partners with food historian to create PBS pilot Flavor Savers By Helen Mitternight The Flavor Savers are hitting the road. One day, they’ll be riding on the seats of funky antique cars, but for now, they’re riding on hopes and dreams. The titular Flavor Savers are culinary superheros embodied by food scholar David Shields of the University of South Carolina and Charleston’s chef Kevin Mitchell. The flavors they’re saving are the heirloom foods even older than the cars they’ll drive, and they’re hoping you’ll be able to watch them on television soon. The idea for a television show came about when Ginger Cassell, a producer at South Carolina Educational Television, heard Shields speak in Columbia. He was later introduced to Kevin Mitchell when Shields and the chef paired to write Taste the State: South Carolina’s Signature Foods, Recipes, and Their Stories. “I thought these two were a winning combination, and they’ve dedicated their careers to discovering the stories of food,” Cassell said. “I wanted to join their mission.” Cassell was no casual fan; she had worked on a number of food shows, including as editor for Alton Brown’s Good Eats on the Food Network. “We had an initial meeting,” Mitchell said. “She explained her thoughts and asked if we were interested, and we said, ‘Of course! Yeah, this would be great!’” Shields said that the show will consist of the two hunting down a fruit, veg-

etable or grain. “We will traverse the countryside going in stages from hither and yon, and at various points we will stop and interact with people, growers, plant geneticists,” Shields said. “I know we’re doing one on heirloom butter beans, and I know we’re heading over to Kentucky in search of the South’s one great cherry, the Dyehouse cherry. Usually, cherries require a good deal of chill time, but this variety had a greater heat resistance, so it was planted throughout the South. “After World War II, the entire cherry industry moved to the Pacific Northwest, and the local production of cherries withered,” he added. “But one surviving tree was located, and then a second one, and now the Appalachian people are delighted to have a sour cherry they can call their own.” Shields said the visit to the cherry trees will be timed for when the cherries are ripe, and Mitchell is likely to cook up a cherry pie with the tree’s owner. Shields added that all the road-tripping is from the seat of an antique car. “We’re sort of making the analogy between the ingredients and the car, saying that what’s old is good, and we can find a lot of merit in history,” Cassell said, adding that the show will film throughout the South. “The old cars are just a good way to see the countryside, and if we’re doing an interview, we can do it in the car.” Flavor Savers has already gotten through the initial approval process at the local SCETV and the national Public Broadcasting

Service (PBS) has expressed interest as well. “PBS really loved the idea, and they keep checking in with us asking when it’s going to be ready,” Cassell said. And, that’s the hitch. New shows require money. Cassell said she is putting together a pilot, which can be shown as a standalone special and can also be used as a sample to tempt funders. And those who want the show to bear fruit sooner can contribute online. For now, the team is keeping hopes high for the future. “I hope [the show] allows people to know what these heirloom ingredients are and were and that it encourages people to go out and ask their producers and farmers to get the seeds to grow these ingredients and bring them back into the culinary landscape,” Mitchell said. “I think that when we talk about saving flavors, it is really saving the flavor of what Southern food was many years ago, and as a chef, it is giving chefs more ingredients to work with and being part of a legacy.” Cassell agreed, adding that she hopes “people will learn a lot about the fact that industrial cultivation left out flavor.” And Shields said he wants the show to get people thinking about what heirloom foods mean to them on a deeper level than just taste. “Flavor is an index of nutrition,” he said. “Heirloom foods are not just a hobby or nostalgia, they actually represent a kind of pinnacle of nutritional thinking that an entire culture has developed using seed selection as their way of shaping hundreds or thousands of plant generations. This isn’t a classroom, it’s an adventure that invites people to come along and encounter some of the most spectacular fruit or vegetable creations the South ever gave rise to.”

ARIES (March 21-April 19): In my astrological estimation, the coming weeks will be an ideal time for you to declare amnesty, negotiate truces and shed long-simmering resentments. Other recommended activities: Find a way to joke about an embarrassing memory, break a bad habit just because it’s fun to do so and throw away outdated stuff you no longer need. Just do the best you can as you carry out these challenging assignments, Aries. You don’t have to be perfect. For inspiration, read these wise words from poet David Whyte: “When you forgive others, they may not notice but you will heal. Forgiveness is not something we do for others; it is a gift to ourselves.” * TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “When a mountain doesn’t listen, say a prayer to the sea,” said Taurus painter Cy Twombly. “If God doesn’t respond, direct your entreaties to Goddess,” I tell my Taurus daughter Zoe. “If your mind doesn’t provide you with useful solutions, make an appeal to your heart instead,” my Taurus coach advises me. All these words of wisdom should be useful for you in the coming weeks, Taurus. It’s time to be diligent, relentless, ingenious and indefatigable in going after what you want. Keep asking until you find a source that will provide it. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Gemini philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson offered advice that’s perfect for you. He said, “Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us, or we find it not.” Here’s what I will add. First, you very much need to commune with extra doses of beauty in the coming weeks. Doing so will expedite your Call for Your FREE Design Consultation healing and further your education — two activities that are especially important right now. Second, one way to accomplish that is to put yourself in the presence of all the beautiful people, places, *Limit one offer per household. Must purchase 5+ Classic/Designer Pull-Out Shelves. EXP 03/31/24. and things you can find. Third, be diligent as you Independently owned and operated franchise. ©2023 ShelfGenie SPV LLC. All rights Reserved. cultivate beauty within yourself. How? That’s your homework. You can start by making a list of the three most beautiful acts you have ever performed. CANCER (June 21-July 22): I bet that sometime soon, you will dream of flying though the sky on a magic carpet. In fact, this may be a recurring dream for you in the coming months. By June, you may have soared along on a floating rug more than 10 times. Why? What’s this all about? I suspect it’s one aspect of a project that life is encouraging you to undertake. It’s an invitation to indulge in more flights of the imagination; to open your soul to mysterious potencies; to give your fantasy life permission to be wilder and freer. You know that old platitude “shit happens”? You’re ready to experiment with a variation on that: “magic transpires.” LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): On February 22, ancient Romans celebrated the holiday of Caristia. It was a time for reconciliation. People strove to heal estrangements and settle longstanding disagreements. Apologies were offered and truces were negotiated. In alignment with current astrological omens, I recommend you revive this tradition, Leo. Now is an excellent phase of your life to embark on a crusade to unify, harmonize, restore, mend and assuage. I dare you to put a higher priority on love and connection than on ego! VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): My poet friend Jafna likes to say that only two types of love are * available to us all: too little and too much. We are * either deprived of the precise amount and quality of the love we want, or else we have to deal with Your First Application an excess of the stuff that doesn’t quite match Your First Application what we want. But I predict that this will at most be a mild problem for you in the coming weeks — and perhaps not a problem at all. You will have a knack for both giving and receiving just the right amount SCHEDULE YOUR APPOINTMENT TODAY! of love, neither too little nor too much. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): If the devil card comes up for me in a divinatory Tarot reading, I don’t get worried or scared that something bad might happen. On the contrary, I interpret it favorably. It means that an interesting problem or riddle * Special price is for first Lawn service only. Requires purchase of annual plan, for new residential EasyPay, MonthlyPay, or PrePay customers only.

gests that I need to be challenged so as to grow a new capacity or understanding. It’s a good omen, telling me that life is conspiring to give me what I need to outgrow my limitations and ignorance. Now apply these principles, Libra, as you respond to the devil card I just drew for you. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): A taproot is a thick, central, and primary root from which a plant’s many roots branch out laterally. Typically, a taproot is fairly straight and grows downward. It may extend to a depth that is greater than the part of the plant sprouting above ground. Now let’s imagine that we humans have metaphorical taproots. They connect us with our sources of inner nourishment. They are lifelines to secret or hidden treasures we may be only partly conscious of. Let’s further imagine that in the coming months, your own taproot will be flourishing, burgeoning and even spreading deeper to draw in new nutrients. Got all that? Now I invite you to infuse this beautiful vision with an outpouring of love for yourself and for all the wondrous vitality you will be absorbing. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Behavioral ecologist Professor Dan Charbonneau has observed the habits of ants and bees and other social insects. He says that a lot of the time, many of them are just lolling around doing nothing. In fact, most animals do the same. The creatures of the natural world are just not that busy. Psychologist Dr. Sandi Mann urges us to learn from their lassitude. “We’ve created a society where we fear boredom and we’re afraid of doing nothing,” she says. But that addiction to frenzy may limit our inclination to daydream, which in turn inhibits our creativity. I bring these facts to your attention, Sagittarius, because I suspect you’re in a phase when lolling around doing nothing will be extra healthy for you. Liberate and nurture your daydreams please! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “Education is an admirable thing,” wrote Oscar Wilde, “but it is well to remember that nothing worth knowing can be taught.” As I ponder your future in the coming weeks, I vociferously disagree with him. I am sure you can learn many things worth knowing from teachers of all kinds. It’s true that some of the lessons may be accidental or unofficial — and not delivered by traditional teachers — but that won’t diminish their value. I invite you to act as if you will in effect be enrolled in school 24/7 until the equinox. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The planets Mars and Venus are both cruising through Aquarius. Will they generate synchronicities that weave magic into your destiny? Here are a few possibilities I foresee: 1. arguments assuaged by love-making; 2. smoldering flirtations that finally ignite; 3. mix-ups about the interplay between love and lust or else wonderful synergies between love and lust; 4. lots of labyrinthine love talk, romantic sparring, and intricate exchange about the nature of desire; 5. the freakiest sex ever; 6. adventures on the frontiers of intimacy. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Unlike the Pope’s decrees, my proclamations are not infallible. As opposed to Nostradamus and many modern soothsayers, I never imagine I have the power to definitely and absolutely decipher what’s ahead. One of my main mottoes is “The future is undecided. Our destinies are always mutable.” Please keep these caveats in mind whenever you commune with my horoscopes. Furthermore, consider adopting my approach as you navigate through the world — especially in the coming weeks, when your course will be extra responsive to your creative acts of willpower. Decide right now what you want the next chapter of your life story to be about. Homework: Make a guess about when you will finally understand your purpose here on Earth.

By Chloe Hogan A new PBS adventure show, America: The Land We Live In, premieres on Feb. 23 and explores the hidden treasures of the American Southeast — with Charleston as one of the pilot season’s key locations. The show’s co-hosts Sophia Michelen and Doc Varn follow the trail of America’s first travel book published in the late 1800s, Picturesque America, and travel from the majestic Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, to fly-fishing and exploring in Tennessee, to Lowcountry experiences in and around Charleston.

In the show’s trailer, the hosts use the drawings and descriptions from the book — with no GPS or coordinates — to retrace the steps of the early adventurers who created America’s first travel guide. Michelen told the Charleston City Paper she and Varn see themselves as following in the footsteps (literally and conceptually) of the pair behind the book: Harry Fenn, an artist, and William Cullen Bryant, a writer. “It was written in the late 1800s, postCivil War during the Reconstruction era,” Michelen said. “It was made in a time of really a very divided country, and it was made to try to get people out there and see unity in the country through art, natural beauty and oral histories and culture. “I think it’s kind of ironic that we’re at this point in history where we’re in a divided country, and Doc and I are following that path, trying to also bridge the division, trying to show our humanity and bring value to it,” she added. With a new twist around every corner, the pair’s treasure hunt across the Southeast also uncovers the “then and now” of each depicted location. “In the book, the writer mentions, ‘I wonder if these locations are going to be there 150 years later.’ And here we are nearly 150 years later, so we’re kind of checking to see if they are,” Michelen said.

Upstairs at North Charleston’s Starlight Motor Inn is a soulful watering hole called the Burgundy Lounge which offers live music, vinyl nights and karaoke. Find local music group Bill Wilson and The Secret Ingredient, a six piece party band with multiple singers and tight horn lines, from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. Feb. 28. Learn more on Instagram @theburgundylounge.

The show’s co-hosts go crabbing with Tia Clark (above), visit the studio of Jonathan Green and more “Doc and I always say, maybe we are the ones to ask now if these locations and this nature will be here in the next 150 years.” A focus on eco-friendly travel is another aspect that makes the show impactful, she added. “It’s about traveling through the respect of preservation. For example, when we were on the trail, that means being mindful of trail rules and just common sense, not leaving anything behind. We made sure we didn’t bring extra cars, just what we needed. We really tried to make sure to be very cognizant of our impact and our footprint.” And another part of eco-friendly travel explored in the show, Michelen said, is approaching new places with a sense of curiosity and open-mindedness, investing time to learn about the area’s history, culture and residents.

AN HD ODYSSEY

MAR. 1 & 2, 7:30PM | CHARLESTONSYMPHONY.ORG

Pour House spotlights Hamilton’s country-rock songcraft By Kyle Petersen It’s always striking when a fresh-faced musical act comes out of nowhere and bowls you over with their abundant talents. Such is the case with Kentucky singersongwriter Abby Hamilton, who has quickly become one of the most buzzed-about acts on the Americana scene, especially after dropping her debut album #1 Zookeeper (of the San Diego Zoo) back in October. She’s been an opening act for the likes of Tyler Childers, Shakey Graves and Wynonna Judd and appeared at such prominent festivals as Bonnaroo, AmericanaFest and Railbird, among others. Recently, she also made her network television performance debut on CBS Saturday Morning. Even before the album’s release, Hamilton’s sharp ability to embrace and reimagine classic country frameworks with writerly ease and a sardonic bite was clear. Her debut full-length project places her firmly in the lineage of artists like Lucinda Williams and Kathleen Edwards, who combine first-rate lyricism with an expansive sound that borrows from country, folk, indie and classic rock — without being beholden to any of them.

Finding a sound

Hamilton is forthright about the fact that country music will always be her first love

and guiding principle, even though her sound has organically grown into more of an outsider approach. “I am just a total lover and fan, and have been since I was a kid, of the institution of country music, the family of country music,” she told the Charleston City Paper ahead of her Feb. 27 performance at the Pour House. “I’ve learned so much from country music, and I’ve always wanted to be a part of that family. So I felt like when we made the record, I was really harping on the idea that, If I call it a country record, it is a country record. I could make it be that way.” That being said, Hamilton admits that she was consciously chasing a bigger, more expansive sound on Zookeeper. “I knew from an arrangement standpoint, I wanted these songs to be able to exist without my words and still feel epic,” she says, pointing to Glen Campbell’s grandly orchestrated mid-70s opus Rhinestone Cowboy and Sheryl Crow’s selftitled album as reference points. Hamilton calls Crow’s record “a beautiful marriage of rock and country. That’s what I was chasing, and I felt the most comfortable there I think because that’s the music I love and I listened to the most.”

Confessional writing

For all of the throwback sounds in Hamilton’s music, though, there’s also a confessional bend that feels very of-the-moment, placing CONTINUED ON PAGE 23
