Constitutional reform sought after mishandling of billions of S.C. dollars
Angry state lawmakers are moving forward with major financial reform efforts after embarrassment from two whopping accounting scandals involving more than $5 billion in miscounted, misallocated and just plain mysterious state funds.
They say their goal is to professionalize the Palmetto State’s principal accounting positions by allowing the governor to appoint the state auditor, comptroller general and possibly even treasurer. The last two of those would involve constitutional changes requiring voter approval in November.
But legislators believe this kind of deep, structural reform is necessary to get political calculations out of the state’s bookkeeping process.
“Politics really shouldn’t come into play,” Berkeley County Republican Sen. Larry Grooms told reporters April 2. “People prefer their accountants not be crusaders.”
The now-intertwined scandals began in February 2023 when then-Comptroller General Richard Eckstom told a Senate panel that the state had $3.5 billion dollars less than its official balance sheet showed. An ensuing Senate investigation determined the comptroller’s office had been double-counting money going to state
colleges and universities for a decade. And while the error did not affect the annual budget — no money was actually missing — it did mislead bond rating agencies about the state’s cash reserves. Hence, the state had egg on its face.
Eckstom, then in his sixth term, resigned about a month later, before the General Assembly might have formally removed him.
The second scandal shoe dropped last month after newlyappointed Comptroller Brian Gaines informed senators that he’d discovered a state account with $1.8 billion in unidentified and unallocated funds.
hearing during which senators grilled Loftis for more than six hours over his handling of the account.
“Mr. Loftis has abrogated his responsibility as a state treasurer,” Grooms, who is leading the Senate investigation, said at the hearing. “He has breached the public trust.”
For his part, Loftis claimed his role as treasurer was to act as the state’s banker, not its accountant. And as such, he said, he did his job by ensuring the money was kept safely in the account and properly accruing interest. But he did not and could not know anything about the origins or proper destinations of the money itself.
Put simply, Gaines explained, state officials couldn’t say with certainty where the money came from or who it belongs to. And this time, the finger of blame appeared to point not at the comptroller’s office, but at four-term State Treasurer Curtis Loftis.
This snafu led to fireworks at a marathon April 2 Senate Finance subcommittee

—S.C. author Jason Ryan about his new book, Swamp Kings: The Story of the Murdaugh Family of South Carolina and a Century of Backwoods Power. Read the full story in the City Paper online.
“I’m being blindsided by complex questions, and they’re being asked in the most leading of manners,” Loftis said. “There’s absolutely no way that the people who elected me can expect a fair hearing under these circumstances.”
But committee members weren’t having it.
“Apparently, Mr. Loftis has lost control of the state treasury,” Grooms declared at the close of the day’s proceedings.
There are currently two major reform initiatives, one in each chamber. The first, H. 5016, which passed the House 111-0 on March 28 and is now in front of the Senate Finance Committee, would make the state’s

East Cooper sweetgrass basketmaker Nakia Wigfall recently completed a unique rice fanner basket that blends West African and Lowcountry artistry.
The fanner is among four dozen coiled baskets that basketmakers in Rogbonko, Sierra Leone, started in 2019 during Wigfall’s visit to the village. Wigfall recently finished them at her home in the Six Mile community north of Mount Pleasant.
Wigfall’s nimble fingers have crafted thousands of baskets that have generated praise for her skills passed down from her mother, Ethel “Catherine” Wigfall, who once operated the family’s now closed basket stand along U.S. 17.
The baskets that the Africans touched, however, evoked a new level of pride that “is not about a unique design or how beautiful it looks,” Wigfall told the Charleston City Paper. “It’s more about creating pieces with my Sierra Leonean family in the land where I should have grown up.”
On Friday, April 12, Wigfall will cross another cultural boundary when she sings and sews baskets with artisans in Red Bays on Andros Island, Bahamas. They are the descendants of Florida’s Black Seminoles who migrated to the island in the early 1800s.
Wigfall’s seven-day Bahamas journey is likely the first time a Lowcountry basketmaker has followed the strands of the coiled basket tradition from West Africa’s former rice coast through the Lowcountry to Florida and then to the Caribbean.
She is taking a few dozen baskets to the Bahamas that she and West African artisans partially completed so the Bahamian basketmakers can finish them. “My dream is to do this with every basketmaker where they grew rice in West Africa,” Wigfall said. “I want the people and the material to produce authentic baskets from those areas.”
West Africans brought the basket tradition to coastal South Carolina during the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Some of their descendants later fled to Spanish Florida where they joined with the Seminoles in the Florida wilderness before some of them went to the Bahamas and other Caribbean Islands after the American Revolution. A desire to collaborate with West African basketmakers came to Wigfall during a

2016 trip to Senegal. To make her dream a reality, she has partnered with Sierra Leonean-born Amadu Massally, a retired Dallas accountant.
Massally is the founder of the community organization Fambul Tik, which means family tree. The group connects Sierra Leoneans with Gullah Geechee people, who are descendants of enslaved West Africans.
Massally organized Wigall’s trip in 2019 to the basket-making community in Rogbonko (pronounced RoBONko) where mostly women sew coiled baskets called “shuku blai or shukublay.” Her journey featured in a film, supported by S.C. Humanities, Gullah Roots: How to go to Africa on a Roots Tour, released in October 2020.
Wigfall’s travels, Massally said, is a celebration of the “material culture” that came to America from West Africa during the slave trade and continues in both cultures.
In the Bahamas, Wigfall and Massally will connect with Red Bays basketmakers through Dr. Grace Turner, chief archaeologist and research officer at the Bahamas Antiquities, Monuments and Museum Corporation in Nassau.
The Red Bays baskets, traditionally called “straw bag,” are coiled like the Carolina baskets, Turner said. The more touristpopular baskets in Nassau, however, feature flat strips of palm fronds, which are plaited together to form the basket, she explained. Turner said she plans to invite a basketmaker
in Nassau to join Wigfall at Red Bays.
The Bahamas, a former British colony, exported baskets beginning in the early 1700s, Turner said. “Originally, they were utilitarian items we used in the households and around the plantations,” she said. Baskets in the Bahamas and the Lowcountry have since become decorative art that’s mostly sold as souvenirs to tourists.
Turner said Wigfall will see how Red Bays basketmakers “construct their baskets with the ultimate objective” of producing baskets that have materials from throughout the African diaspora.
A multicultural basket is “a unique idea that Nakia has been talking about for years and now she’s making that dream come true,” said McClellanville resident Dale Rosengarten, co-author of Grass Roots: African Origins of an American Art.
Nevertheless, Rosengarten said, in the midst of Wigfall’s accomplishments the basket tradition is at a crossroads due to commercial development that has changed how baskets are sold and diminished the source of sweetgrass.
Generations of basketmakers once sold their wares at wooden road-side stands along U.S. Highway 17 in the Mount Pleasant area. But many of those stands are now skeletons along a wider highway.
Can’t win for losing North Charleston police on March 30 approached a man who officers reportedly witnessed drinking a can of beer while sitting on an electrical box near Stall Road. Police told him it was illegal to drink in public, and the man quickly pulled a second beer from his pants pocket and began pouring it out on the ground. He was arrested for drinking in public. But come on, we think he did his best.
A Mount Pleasant man on March 31 told police he woke up that morning to see what looked to be egg coating the outside of his bedroom window. The man said he believed it was his neighbor’s doing, as they recently had a disagreement about parking, but we know the truth: Easter Bunny, you can’t keep getting away with this.

“Along that six-lane highway, people are going too fast, and they don’t have Go
enough lead time to figure out” how to stop safely at a basket stand, Rosegarten said. “A few basketmakers have circumvented that problem” by placing stands near their homes where there is a driveway or placing stands in shopping areas, she said.
Sweetgrass also is becoming “slim to none,” Wagfall said. “The town of Mount Pleasant allows us to use some of the sweetgrass that has been planted in different areas,” she said. “However, this grass is ornamental and it is not as strong as the natural sweetgrass, and it is difficult to harvest.”
These and other pressures have inflated the price of the baskets. “Just like [the price of] everything else it is going up. Basketmakers are artists,” she said. “Just like a painting can sell for thousands of dollars, [a basket] should cost more than it does now.”
Basket admirers don’t understand, she said, “how we get from the grass to the finished baskets.” Wigfall said she has harvested grass only to discover that a poisonous snake was inches from her heels in places where alligators lurk.
“It is a dangerous situation,” she said. “We are really starting to market the basket the way it should have been marketed.”
Massally said attention to the international link among basketmakers can bring a renewed interest in the basket culture.
unelected auditor — essentially the state’s financial watchdog — an independent position appointed by the governor and approved by the Senate.
Currently, the auditor reports to a state panel that includes the treasurer and the comptroller general — two of the people whose work the auditor is supposed to be watching.
“I think that’s a really good bill,”
Sen. Darrell Jackson, D-Richland, and a longtime member of the Finance Committee told City Paper. “The more we keep politics and politicians out of things like that, the better off our state will be.”
The second initiative is a Senate resolution to ask voters whether to remove the comptroller general from the state constitution as an elected office and allow the governor to appoint the position with the approval of the Senate. The resolution passed the Senate unanimously on March 26. If it receives a two-thirds vote in the House, voters will see the matter on their ballots this fall.
The big question now appears to be whether the legislature will add the treasurer to the referendum. And Grooms, for one, thinks they’re moving in that direction.
“I think it would be an absolutely great idea for the voters to decide whether the
The framers’ vision, and it’s brilliant, was to diffuse power equally between the three branches of government, so you balance ambition against ambition.” —Sen. Chip Campsen
treasurer should be an elected politician or an appointed professional,” Grooms told Charleston City Paper on April 8. “A lot of people here are focused on that now.”
Charleston GOP Sen. Chip Campsen, who introduced the Senate resolution, said he believes it’s no accident that all the reform initiatives involve strengthening the governor’s office.
“Not talking about Governor McMaster, but just structurally, constitutionally, we have a very weak chief executive,” he told City Paper in an April 3 interview. “And I think it’s important that we have an executive vested with sufficient power to keep the other two branches in check.”
The problem, Campsen went on to explain, is fundamental to the state’s 1895 constitution, which established legislative supremacy over the governor and the courts, in violation of the checks-andbalances system preferred by the nation’s founders. It imposed this supremacy
in part by saddling the governor with independently elected cabinet officials like the comptroller general, and with executive branch employees like the auditor who report to independent boards.
“The framers’ vision, and it’s brilliant, was to diffuse power equally between the three branches of government, so you balance ambition against ambition,” he said. “It’s about the discipline of having your power checked by the power of others.”
Asked whether that logic could lead the legislature to go further than the auditor and the comptroller general, Campsen’s answer suggested that voters should stay tuned.
“Well, there’s good reason to look at these offices just for restructuring purposes,” he said. “And there’s also reason to do it for cause, which is clearly the case with the comptroller. That’s still questionable, I guess, in the case of the treasurer. But that process is ongoing before our eyes.”
Few phrases say “brace yourself” quite like these words: “The only state in America.”
And so it was last month when S.C. Department of Juvenile Justice Director Eden Hendrick told state senators that South Carolina is the only state in America — brace yourself — where children can be locked up for kiddie crimes like cutting class, running away from home and, heaven help us, loitering in a billiard room.
Talk about juvenile. And criminal. And just plain wrong.
To be clear, we’re not talking about crimes like murder, robbery or assault, but rather what are called “status offenses” — acts which are only illegal if committed by someone whose status is that of a minor.
Unbelievably, these acts that can get you 90 days in juvie here — and only here — in South Carolina.
And if that sounds cruel and dangerous, well, that’s because it is.
“We have status offenders in the same buildings, in the same classes, in the same gyms as youth charged with very, very, very serious crimes,” Hendrick told senators.
She was testifying at a recent Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on a bill by Orangeburg Democratic Sen. Brad Hutto that would put an end to this blatant juvenile injustice, as reported recently by the S.C. Daily Gazette
The longer that the testimony went on that day, the clearer it became that the current law isn’t just putting status offenders at risk. It’s endangering the rest of us, too.
Why? Well, first, as Hutto notes, non-criminal kids too often “pick up bad habits” when they’re housed with serious
youthful offenders — exactly the opposite of what we want from our juvenile justice system. And second, thanks to chronic overcrowding, these kids are taking up space in facilities our state desperately needs for young people who have committed serious, grown-up crimes.
GOP Senate Majority Leader Shane Massey of Edgefield seemed to speak for the room when he said, “I want them not to be truants. I want them not to be incorrigible, but I don’t know that this is the way to fix them. The idea of sending a 13-year-old who’s just run away from school a couple times to DJJ — that scares the hell out of me, because that’s going to scare the hell out of him.”
Here is where we’d like to tell you that the senators, shocked to hear this testimony, carved out a little time between regulating womens’ wombs and getting more guns out on the street to actually do their part to fix the problem.
But we can’t because they didn’t, settling instead for saying all the right things while not quite passing the bill in time for the House to act on it this year without needing a super-majority.
So now, with the likelihood that passing the bill (the right thing to do) may not happen in the next few weeks of the regular legislative session, we call on the General Assembly to add the juvenile justice bill to the list of special items it considers during a special session. And we urge Gov. Henry McMaster to lobby for the bill, too.
When it comes to reducing risks for South Carolina’s children, we should protect them, not dilly-dally away from a problem that is solvable.
We encourage community leaders to act on these audacious priorities:
1. Deal with the water. Build a strong resiliency plan to harden infrastructure and make smart climate change decisions about development, roads and quality of life.
2. Fix roads, traffic. Repair and improve roads and reduce traffic. Speed up alternatives, including more public transportation.
3. Be smarter about education. Inject new energy into the broken Charleston County school board by focusing on kids, not national mantras.
4. Conduct public business in public. Be transparent in public business. Stop the secrecy.
5. Invest in quality of life. Build more parks. Have more festivals. Invest in infrastructure that promotes a broad sense of community.
6. Engage in real racial conciliation. If we embark on more conversations and actions on racial reconciliation, our community will strengthen and grow.
7. Develop fewer hotels, more affordable housing. Make Charleston a more affordable place to live for everyone.
8. Develop Union Pier at scale. Let’s not put ship-sized buildings on the coveted Union Pier property downtown. Instead, make what comes appropriate.
9. Build and follow a 50-year plan. Plan for the county’s long-term future and follow the plan.
10. Pay people more. Pay a living wage. Push South Carolina lawmakers to set a real minimum wage.
America’s traditional mom-and-apple-pie values appear to be in better shape than many talking heads and pundits decry, according to a big new national poll.
That’s good — particularly in times of too much news about fissures for democracy, including former President Donald Trump’s criminal tribulations, current President Joe Biden’s and Trump’s ages, a do-nothing Congress and the U.S. Supreme Court’s continuing ethical gaffes.
This new Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll of 1,282 people shows most Americans still agree on core national values.
“There’s a lot more convergence [about issues] than you might imagine,” University of Chicago political science professor Michael Alobertus told the AP.
When asked about the importance of certain bedrock American principles, freedoms and rights, an overwhelming majority of Americans responded these were extremely important or important to our national identity: The right of equal protection under law: 91%; The right to vote: 91%; Freedom of speech: 90%; The right to privacy: 88%; Freedom of religion: 84%; and the freedom to assemble peaceably, 83%.
But in our polarized political environment where mass shootings are an almost daily occurrence, it wasn’t surprising how only 54% of those polled said they found the right to keep and bear arms to be important.
“The results, which included perspectives on a number of different freedoms and rights, have only small variances between Republicans and Democrats except on the right to bear arms, which Republicans are more likely to see as core to the nation’s identity,” said a story about the poll. “The overall findings are striking because they come at a time of extreme partisanship when political agreements seem rare and concerns are heightened over the potential for violence during a volatile presidential election year.”
It wasn’t surprising how only 54% of those polled said they found the right to keep and bear arms to be important.
Other findings: Three in four Americans believe a democraticallyelected government is extremely or very important, while about 80% believe the same about Americans having a chance to get good jobs and realize the American dream.
As you might expect, the poll didn’t have only good news. More Americans — about half — said they thought the country’s democracy was functioning poorly, compared to the third who thought it was functioning well. Also, younger Americans were not as likely to have as rosy of a view of traditional American values as older Americans.
These attitudes of supporting American democracy, particularly after the turmoil during and after the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, may be impacting South Carolina.
Hundreds of candidates filed for Statehouse, local government, Congress and other offices in the last half of March. In June, some 526 candidates will meet in primaries across the state. Even more will face opponents from other parties in November.
In Charleston County, for example, 16 women candidates filed, spurred on in large part by the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade abortion decision. During a multi-candidate press conference this week, Charleston Democrats seemed more energized than in years. “We are the ones working for the people,” said Democratic state Rep. Spencer Wetmore of Folly Beach. “We are the ones that make progress. Unfortunately, the Republicans have lost touch with the people of South Carolina.”
At the Statehouse, all 170 legislative seats are up for grabs. The 124-seat House, where Republicans hold a 2-1 majority over Democrats, is sure to remain in Republican control. But the Senate, where Republicans enjoy a similar majority, may be more in play as Democrats would have to flip just eight seats to gain control.
There will be lots of good back and forth during the election season. But if everybody is pulling for America and our shared bedrock principles, we’ll be O.K.

Behind a bright purple door near downtown’s Hampton Park, the smell of incense and strains of rock music float down the stairs, inviting guests into an upstairs apartment. It’s lit by afternoon sunlight and filled with an eclectic collection of local art, all of which hint at the magic Lizzy Rollins is bringing to Charleston.
Born and raised in Mount Pleasant, the 30-year-old freelance photographer and director primarily uses a collection of film cameras to shoot branded content for various local companies. In the evenings, she runs a Parisian-style natural wine bar with her husband, Chris.
Rollins said she rotates between three film cameras and one digital kit for her projects, but primarily focuses on film, shooting mostly on 35mm and 120mm.
After graduating from the College of Charleston in 2015, Rollins started as a wedding photographer but eventually chose to pursue work helping brands create their commercial imagery.
“I wanted to see if I could grow,” Rollins said. “I wanted to see if I could explore more for myself and challenge myself. When something gets too easy, then it feels like you need to change.”
Rollins is focusing on honing into her own style and taking on work that reflects that. So far, she’s worked with barbecue joint Lewis BBQ, newcomer Italian bistro Vern’s and Red Clay Hot Sauce, as well as national names like Vox Media and Anheuser-Busch.
Her atmospheric and approachable style stems from a love of film, and her study of how photography enables people to get intimately involved in each other’s lives.
Rollins’ self-described inclusive and honest approach to her work bridges into her space — a sunny one-bedroom apartment near Hampton Park. The centerpiece of the home is a sizable, worn wooden table sourced from Craigslist, surrounded by 10 mismatched chairs from the home in which Rollins grew up. The table, lovingly referred to as “absolute garbage” by Rollins, has been the setting for many years of dinner parties with friends. Each chip and groove into its wooden top is filled with memories for Rollins and Chris.
The couple has made the space their own and filled the apartment with various odds and ends, including her photography, his guitar collection and hundreds of wine corks from their Jackson Street natural wine bar, Bar Rollins.
The pair dreamed up Bar Rollins after a 2019 trip to Paris — their first time in Europe.
While in the City of Lights, the Rollins were inspired by seeing young people running and operating their own wine bars. “We had spent so much time years prior learning, consuming and partaking in natural wine culture,” she said. “But we didn’t have a place out in the public to drink it and enjoy it, so we just wanted to make a place that felt like a place where we wanted to drink wine.”
The couple’s dream to create a wine bar for younger people that felt laid back and useful was realized when Chris opened the “wine dive bar,” Bar Rollins, with his business partner, Jess Vande Werken, in June 2022. It offered a rotating selection of natural wines and a new spot for the Rollins’ famous dinner parties.
“You don’t have to be of a certain age to be an expert on wine or to be passionate about it,” Lizzy Rollins said. “You can create the program that you want.”
Rollins is also creating her own destiny with her next big project — creative collective The Big Night.
The Big Night is bringing together Charleston’s creative talent, including videographers, photographers and producers to help attract larger commercial clients to the Lowcountry. The group is focusing on putting together the sort of projects they want to create and has already attracted several clients, including audiobook company Dipsea and Linne botanicals.
“Instead of sailing these individual little boats, we just made one big boat and are trying to sail that,” Rollins said. Bringing clients to Charleston fits in with Rollins’ “tricky” relationship with the city she has always called home.
“I feel like it just has had such a hold on me for so long,” Rollins said, gazing over a view of downtown from her second-story porch. “I feel like I’m talking about like a lover when I’m talking about Charleston.”
Rollins said that trying to navigate growth and career changes, through Bar Rollins and The Big Night, has been complicated in Charleston, due to a combination of her niche interests and a smaller pool of clientele. Her affection, however, for the city remains even after 30 years.
“This still feels like the best place in the world,” she said. “We’ve come back from traveling, and just like sitting right here on the porch, chilling and drinking coffee. “There’s some element of magic that is still present here.”

When my kids ask simple nature questions, they hardly ever get simple answers. Nature is intrinsically complex and by having two parents with advanced science degrees, our children have now come to expect some level of scientific debate full of nuances and caveats.
We do this not to be difficult or confusing, but to teach them that the world around us doesn’t always fit into human-manufactured boxes. Our brain’s way of classifying is so that we can understand how things are related, what belongs, what does not and on some caveman level — to keep us safe.
Many common classifications were agreed upon before scientific research was fully developed and are always up for change as goes the scientific method. For example, we’ve always been taught that strawberries are berries but in reality they are not berries. But bananas are berries — and they are both fruit. Isn’t that nuts (some nuts actually are considered fruit)?
So what makes a berry a berry?
Scientifically a berry is a fruit that was created by a flower with a single ovary and has three distinct parts: the outer
skin (exocarp), the fleshy juicy middle (mesocarp) and the innermost seeded portion (endocarp). Berries must also contain more than one seed.
Blueberries are true berries because they form from a flower with a single ovary and have all three distinct parts. By scientific definition pumpkins, cucumbers, oranges, lemons, watermelon, tomatoes, peppers, cranberries, grapes, zucchini and bananas are berries too. Defining avocados as berries seems still up for debate because although it has a super fleshy mesocarp it only has a single seed. Raspberries and blackberries are not considered berries because they form from a flower with multiple ovaries. The ovaries produce many tiny fruits called drupelets which form the larger berry. The next time you eat these berries, you can zen out by taking apart the little drupelets and contemplate all that you’ve been told about life.
Fruits that have a hard inner endocarp that encases the seed, such as mangoes, olives, cherries, most nuts, coffee “berries” and apricots, are considered drupes or stone fruit, but are not actual berries. Some fruits, such as apples and pears, have a core and are not berries.
Whether you walk away from this article more confused than ever or found this interesting, I hope that at minimum you question those ideas and things around us and let science continue to refine your understanding of the world.

Land & Sea is a coming, first-of-its-kind Charleston experience that will offer “two traditions brought together on one plate.”
Hosted by Marvin C. Ross of Peculiar Pig Farm and Tia Clark of Casual Crabbing with Tia, the event provides a new and unique highlight on the local food scene by putting a spotlight on the physical locations from which Charleston’s cuisine originated. Both Ross and Clark have a long history of falling in love with the Lowcountry and the food that the Earth and ocean have to offer.
Clark was initially drawn to the water for health-related reasons but then quickly fell in love with crabbing.
“I am a Charleston native and I grew up surrounded by the water, [but] I had never crabbed until seven years ago,” Clark said. “I fell in love with it and wanted to crab every day. I turned my time on the dock into the gym and built this bond with the water.” She placed an offer to take others crabbing on Airbnb’s budding “experiences” section and quickly became one of the top four experiences on the platform.
Summing up her approach to her outings, Clark said “we are supposed to have a connection with the food that we eat.
… When you have a relationship with the water, it builds a kind of organic stewardship with you.”
Gathering led to project
She recalled what led to her teaming up with Ross.
“This collaboration with Peculiar Pig is awesome because it is diving more into what I’m preaching,” Clark said. “The reason I partnered with him is because I experienced [a gathering] at the farm. … They had chefs from all around the country cooking outside with this whole hog they butchered, it was incredible watching them cook, and then you eat it right there.”
While Clark will feature the sea during the day-long event, Ross said he will invite attendees to experience South Carolina’s land, specifically his locally popular pork.
“I grew up raising goats, sheep, chickens and hogs, but I’ve always been drawn to raising hogs,” Ross explained. Supplying high-quality whole hog has become what Peculiar Pig is known for. Vern’s, Palmira, Lenoir and Xiao Bao Biscuit are just a few local Charleston restaurants that source their pork from Peculiar Pig.
“Marvin Ross is one of the most humble and dedicated business owners I have ever met. His product is always consistent,” said Vern’s owner and chef Dano Heinze. “They
Two Charleston chefs are finalists for the 2024 James Beard Foundation’s Restaurant and Chef Awards, often considered the Oscars of the culinary sphere. Finalists are nominated across 22 categories, including these Charleston finalists: Nikko Cagalanan of Charleston’s Kultura, nominated for the Emerging Chef award and James London of Charleston’s Chubby Fish, nominated for the Best Chef: Southeast award. Cagalanan immigrated to the U.S. from the Philippines in 2011, launching his Mansueta’s pop-up concept in 2019. His first brick-andmortar restaurant, Kultura, opened in July 2023.
harvest their pigs weekly, so we know we are always getting the freshest product. Once you taste Marvin’s pork, there is no going back!”
Pork plays a key role on Vern’s menu. “Bone-in pork loins is a staple on the Vern’s menu. More of a seasonally rotating larger dish on the menu. … We love when a single dish can showcase two to three local farmers. It makes those dishes extra special,” Heinze said.
Ross, who is a fifth-generation farmer and owns Peculiar Pig, also takes a community-first approach to his work. “We get produce from Lowcountry Street Grocery [for the livestock],” he said when describing sustainable practices he learned from his family to maintain the farm. “We also run an entire farm-to-table catering service that works with [other local businesses].”
Peculiar Pig has done other events in the past, however, the Land and Sea experience is the first of its kind at the farm.
“It’s totally unique because people will really get to see where their food comes from over an entire day,” said Candice Crawford, Peculiar Pig’s general manager. “In the morning, everyone will go crabbing with Tia and then we will come to the farm to do a tour with Marvin.” After both experiences, guests will sit down to enjoy a Lowcountry boil featuring crabs caught in the morning as well as a hog roast cooked on site at Peculiar Pig.
Land & Sea will take place on Saturday, April 20. Tickets are $200 and guests can register online to spend the day with Ross and Clark followed by dinner in the evening.

gainst the backdrop of blooming azaleas and swaying palmettos, springtime in the Holy City reveals a captivating array of cultural offerings.
From the soulful melodies of the Charleston Jazz Festival filling jasmine-scented air to the intricate threads of textile art and oral histories weaving tales of heritage at the Halsey, it’s easy to find stellar coming offerings from homegrown acts and international artists this spring.
Add a few more weeks and we’ll see even more art take over the peninsula — so don’t forget to keep eyes peeled for our robust coverage of Spoleto Festival USA and Piccolo Spoleto.
The Charleston art scene is buzzing with the announcement of a one-night-only show at Hed Hi Studio by Kevin Earl Taylor, a Charleston-born artist now making waves in Los Angeles. He’ll show his work in his hometown April 13, which will be the first time in a decade.
Taylor’s early life experiences in Moncks Corner and Mount Pleasant informed what he called in an interview the “foundation of his work;” a deep reverence for nature. Those experiences come through in detailed paintings that ignite questions about humans’ relationship to animals, sacred geometry and the interconnectedness of all living things.
“I kind of grew up doing a lot of fishing and hunting, catching turtles, the usual country stuff you do in South Carolina,” he told the Charleston City Paper.
But nature is not the only part of Charleston that’s rubbed off on Taylor. His art is also informed by the 10 or so years he spent working towards an art career in Charleston — in quite a punk and do-it-yourself manner. He hosted an art gallery in his downtown house at Spring and King streets, played in bands and even collaborated with other local artists to create their own Spoleto spin-off.
“I just started pasting stuff up on the street, trying to make things happen. During Spoleto, we made a fake Spoleto called ‘Spolatto’ where we put art at different locations around the city and handed out a map for it.”
In his April 13 show at Hed Hi, which is open from 6 p.m. until 10 p.m., Taylor said he’s excited to present a body of work that he calls a “postcard to Charleston.”
“The more I thought about it, I realized I wanted to have elements of those things that remind me of growing up here, making the show into a sort of postcard: ‘to Charleston, from LA.’ It’s like writing a letter home and saying, if it wasn’t for Charleston, I wouldn’t have had the inspirations that are so foundational to my work…. It’s a kind of thank you.”

The not-to-be-missed Charleston Jazz Festival offers a lineup of world-renowned artists from April 18 to 21. From the mesmerizing melodies of the Joshua Redman Group to the soul-
stirring vocals of René Marie — plus the legendary Preservation Hall Jazz Band and Grammy winners Arturo O’Farrill and Charlton Singleton — the festival’s headliners are set to dazzle and delight.
The festival, an annual program by the North Charleston-based nonprofit Charleston Jazz, was founded in 2015 to further its mission to help keep jazz alive in Charleston, historically called the “cradle of jazz.”
“The history of jazz in Charleston is so incredible, and we felt like we needed to have this festival to celebrate it more on a global awareness level,” said communications director Lacy Miller. “It’s really cool to see these musicians are coming to Charleston specifically, because that’s where a lot of this music had its early years. The festival is a celebration of that.”

“If you listen to jazz, there’s something about being in a small, intimate venue, with the musicians right there in front of you, that makes it special,” Miller said. Learn more at charlestonjazz.com/festival.

In this context, “jāl . ī” denotes a stitch technique creating a net-like effect. Within Malik’s work, jāl ī extends metaphorically to symbolize interconnected networks and communities, especially those formed by women.
On view concurrently with Malik, Harkins’s exhibition Teach Me a Song is named for the artist’s ongoing project in translating and preserving Indigenous music. In the project, Harkins invited Indigenous collaborators to literally teach her a song. At the Halsey, Harkins reveals the recordings of these songs — which range from ceremonial and religious to rock and roll and electronic. Her practice of nation to nation sharing and trading music is presented as a means of decolonizing traditions of Indigenous music.
There’s an array of free and interactive events open to the public for these shows, like an embroidery workshop, artist talks and more at the Halsey. In addition to her visual art at the Halsey, in partnership with Spoleto, Harkins will perform a work called “DS - W ./IS~J./I,” an innovative performance described as “an act of Indigenous Futurism combining disco and Indigenous languages.”
Halsey Director Katie Hirsch explained the two current shows are presented together for their reflection on structures of power and representation of highly collaborative projects.
“Malik and Harkins give such joyous respect to the individuals and cultures featured in the work. This results in two exhibitions that are not only visually beautiful, but also moving and broadening.” Learn more at halsey.cofc.edu.

Just two years ago, Jenna Desmond was starting grad school for speech pathology. She’d gotten a taste of the rock and roll dream — she’d played with indie rock band Susto for three years before leaving along with her musical (and former romantic) partner Corey Campbell to form their own group, Babe Club.
But after the pandemic, Desmond said, she felt the need for a big life change.
“I was almost 30 and feeling low as a musician,” Desmond recalled of her mindset in 2022. “I wanted to be able to survive and so I was seriously thinking about changing my career path.”
While Campbell drove them to High Water 2022 as patrons, not performers, Desmond finished an exam in the car. They arrived just in time to see Sharon Von Etten, a songwriter and 43-year-old mother who found an audience in her thirties. Moved by the experience, Desmond’s priorities pivoted once again.
“I felt inspired and emotional during her set, and it kicked me back into this place,” remembers Desmond. “It was like, ‘She’s up there, in her 40s, she has a kid, and she’s doing it. The next day, I was like, ‘Yeah, I’m definitely not going to grad school.’ ”
Fast forward to this April: Babe Club will take the stage at High Water Festival, presented at Riverfront Park, in North Charleston on April 20 and 21.
Desmond and Campbell are in exciting company: sharing the lineup with Fleet
Local indie band Babe Club is gaining popularity for their catchy songs that explore self-realization, honest emotions, friendship and themes of love. This month, Babe Club takes the stage at High Water Festival.
Foxes,
Babe Club’s High Water debut comes at 1:30 p.m. on April 21, landing as a high point of a year that’s found them finishing their full-length debut record after releasing periodic singles since 2018.
“We’re making the work we feel most proud of right now,” Desmond told the Charleston City Paper. “This date is hitting at the perfect time for us.”
In case you haven’t been clued into Babe Club’s tremendous momentum: In 2022, its song “Lazy Lover” was featured in a nationwide Taco Bell commercial.
And this week, it released “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang,” perhaps their most polished pop-oriented song yet, achieving a danceinducing, radio-ready sound without
sacrificing any of their witty, angsthued edge. It’s more roll than rock, but Desmond’s silky vocals and compelling layers of instrumentation have earned them a spot back on one of Charleston’s most lauded stages.
For High Water, Babe Club will expand its usual trio lineup, including drummer Julius Deangeles, to a seven-piece, adding Aaron Utterback on bass (from Human Resources), Brett Nash on percussion (from Secret Guest), Jenna’s brother Michael on keys (from Local Nomad) and Mary Norris on guitar (from Slow Funeral).
Desmond said she’s even taking dance lessons to complement her stage presence.
“It’s a motivating thing and a big honor to play High Water.”
Babe Club takes the stage 1:30 p.m. April 21. See the full lineup, purchase tickets and learn more at highwaterfest.com.

I. COUNTERCLAIM AND CROSSCLAIM AS TO ALL DEFENDANTS FOR EASEMENT BY NECESSITY
1. Defendant repeats the previous items of this Answer as if retyped verbatim right here.
2. Defendant craves reference to Items 1-6 of the Fourth Amended Complaint filed by Plaintiff which accurately shows the parties for the Complaint and for this CounterClaim and Cross-Claims.
3. Defendant craves reference to Items 7-9 of the Fourth Amended Complaint filed by the Plaintiff which accurately lays out the proper jurisdiction and venue for this Complaint, Counter-Claim and Cross-Claims.
4. Craving reference to No. 11 of the Plaintiff’s Fourth Amended Complaint, the referenced dirt road runs generally westward from the Tims property to the Plaintiff’s property as stated in No. 11.
5. Defendant also craves reference to No. 25 of the Plaintiff’s Fourth Amended Complaint for the Alternate Access easement.
6. Upon information and belief, Tims’ property was once part of a larger parcel along with and sharing unity of title with the Laurie Property, Ramlogan property, Simmons Creek Property, and/ or the Nelson property; the unity of title was later severed; and the Tims’ property use of the of the Old Pond access has been at all times been necessary, actual, real, reasonable, and not merely convenient. Alternatively, the Tims’ property was once part of a larger parcel along with, and therefore sharing unity of title with the Ramlogan Property, Harris Property, and/or the Nelson’s property and the Plaintiff’s property. The unity of title was later severed and the Tims’ use of the Alternate Access has at all times been necessary, actual, real, reasonable and not merely convenient.
7. Accordingly, Tims is entitled
to a judicial declaration that it enjoys an easement implied by necessity, running with the Plaintiff’s property and the Seigler property for purposes of affording access between the Plaintiff’s property, and the Seigler property and the public right of way at Old Pond Road, either via the Old Pond Access or the Alternate Access.
II. COUNTER CLAIM AND CROSSCLAIM AS TO ALL DEFENDANTS FOR EASEMENT CREATED BY DEPICTION ON PLAT
8. Defendant repeats the previous items of this Answer as if retyped verbatim right here.
9. The Old Pond Access and Alternate Access are depicted on numerous plats within the Parties’ chain of title, thereby creating permanent, irrevocable easements.
10. Accordingly, Tims is entitled to a judicial declaration that it enjoys an easement by virtue of depiction in various plats, running with the Plaintiff’s and Seigler’s property for purposes of affording access between the Tims’ property and the Plaintiff’s property and the Seigler Property and the public right of way at Old Pond Road, either via the Old Pond Access or the Alternate Access.
WHEREFORE, having set forth their causes of actions, the Tims respectfully request that the Court enter judgment declaring that the Tims Property enjoys a permanent access easement, appurtenant to and running with the Tims Property; via the Old Pond Access or, in the alternative, via the Alternate Access, affording access between the Tims Property and Old Pond Road; for the injunctive relief requested herein; and for such other and further relief as the Court deems just and appropriate.
