Allegiance promises American flags that support American jobs
By Katie Cannon
Charleston is a manufacturing hub for high-quality American flags. And with the Fourth of July just around the corner, the local team behind red-white-and-blue flags is faced with soaring demand during what it calls “flag season.”
Allegiance Flag Supply got started in North Charleston in 2018 after they learned most American flags are made outside of the United States.
“We were surprised to learn that so many American flags were actually being made overseas,” said co-founder Max Berry. “We just felt like of all things that deserve to be made in America, the American flag is at the top of that list.”
Allegiance has around 60 employees who produce nearly 1,000 flags daily and
products set it apart.
“We prioritize American jobs and a 100% American supply chain,” she said. “Then, of course, also quality — we use what’s called a first-run nylon, and we take extra steps in our stitching strategy to ensure our flags are higher quality.”
Each flag is hand-sewn by South Carolina employees with locally sourced materials, as highlighted in the company’s mission.
Doubling down on American
While many businesses outsource labor and materials to countries to save money, Berry said Allegiance is moving in the opposite direction.
Celebrate history this Carolina Day
Amid all the excitement and celebrations for the Fourth of July just around the corner, don’t let today’s Carolina Day slip through the cracks. Carolina Day, recognized annually on June 28, celebrates the first decisive patriot naval victory of the American Revolution in 1776.
The Battle of Sullivan’s Island is hailed as a turning point in the war. On June 28, 1776, patriot militiamen at an unfinished palmetto log fort withstood a British Royal Navy attack, keeping Charleston in colonial hands.
The Palmetto Society is hosting the Carolina Day Parade on Friday, continuing a tradition that has been ongoing since 1777. The parade marches from 11 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. from Washington Pak to White Point Garden. The parade is followed by a commemorative program and wreathlaying ceremony at the Sergeant Jasper Monument. —Skyler Baldwin

South Carolina to face difficulties without energy reform, experts say
By Jack O’Toole
South Carolinians could face rolling blackouts and severe economic disruptions within the next decade unless state lawmakers pass critical energy reforms during the 2025-26 legislative session, according to experts and policymakers across the political spectrum.
But that won’t be easy, they warn, due to the lightning pace of technical and regulatory change in today’s energy industry. For instance, large-scale solar energy has grown by more than 400% in S.C. since just 2018.
“We don’t know what the world is going to look like in five years, 10 years,” said Hamilton Davis, the vice president of regulatory affairs for energyRE, a national developer of clean energy projects with offices in Charleston. “So we need to be robust in our planning approach to make sure we don’t wind up having major regrets about investing in something with long-term risk because it sounded good at the time.”
It was precisely that concern about risky investments in specific energy sources that doomed this year’s attempt at a sweeping energy bill that flew through the House but ultimately died in the Senate near the close of the session in May.
“I want to commend House Speaker Murrell Smith (R-Sumter) and the House for pushing this debate forward,” said Beaufort Republican Sen. Tom Davis. “Having said that, the House bill was a little bit too prescriptive in that it was making specific findings about what we want and where.”
Instead of that kind of specificity, Sen. Davis and others say, the legislature needs to embrace reforms that expedite the emergence of new energy sources in a better functioning market, while protecting the oversight role of the state’s primary energy regulator, the Public Service Commission (PSC).
A regulatory framework from the horse-and-buggy era
To understand where we are on energy in South Carolina, policymakers say, it helps to know where we started. When electricity first came to America in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, South Carolina, like most states, was too poor to finance the buildout of a new energy generation and transmission infrastructure on its own.
As a result, state leaders took two steps to attract major outof-state energy investments. First, they granted monopoly status to power companies in specific geographic regions. And second, they guaranteed those new monopolies a reasonable rate of return on every dollar they invested in generation, transmission and equipment.
The core of that regulatory framework remains largely in place today. And while few are recommending radical change, most experts agree the state won’t be able to meet its rapidly growing energy needs without major near-term reforms to start bringing the system into the 21st century.
But according to analysts like Eddy Moore with the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, a market-based approach may be better. For example, procurement through competitive bidding allows bidders to compete for energy generation contracts and can deliver more abundant and reliable energy at lower costs for ratepayers, he said.
“We have a situation now where, once the utility company builds an approved power plant, they get paid whether or not it even operates,” Moore said.
“But with a market-based procurement situation, you define what you need — we need this much more energy capacity — and you set up a competitive bidding process so the best available technology wins.”
Step 2: Creating a Regional Transmission Organization
Today, the vast majority of Americans live in an area served by a regional transmission authority (RTO). These are independent organizations that connect all energy providers in a multistate region together, creating a real-time spot market for power. RTOs have been shown to reduce costs, increase reliability and facilitate better resource planning.
“We’re in the bucket of last-place states in the country on energy efficiency. We need a concerted, organized effort to improve energy efficiency.” —Eddy Moore
Step 1: Competitive procurement
Under the current system, new energy is typically brought online by the monopoly utilities, which build new plants after getting approval from the PSC.
The Southeast is the only major region of the country without an RTO.
Reformers agree that the creation of a Southeastern RTO is necessary and, eventually, inevitable. But in the meantime, some suggest, a similar but more limited option is an energy imbalance market (EIM), which allows energy companies to engage in real time regional trading on a purely voluntary basis. It would serve to get the process started.
“I wouldn’t expect RTOs to be in a 2025 energy bill, but interim steps like EIMs have worked well across the country,” energyRE’s Davis said. “That’s a market structure where you’re really increasing flexibility across utility footprints and reducing costs for customers.”
Step 3: Improvements in energy efficiency
According to Moore, reducing the amount of wasted energy must be a major component and priority of any new energy legislation.
“We’re in the bucket of last-place states in the country on energy efficiency,” Moore said. “We need a concerted, organized effort to improve energy efficiency.”
And now, he stresses, would be an ideal time to move forward, given the large energy efficiency grants the Biden administration has made available to states and municipalities.
“The core of the program should be making sure houses are tight and insulated,” he said. “And then follow up with efficient HVAC (heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems) and water heaters. Those are really the two big energy-saving opportunities in front of us.”
Step 4: Nuclear, natural gas as a bridge
Though controversial in some quarters, Sen. Davis said he believes nuclear power will likely have a significant role to play in the diversified energy market that he and other reformers
A downtown woman arrested by Charleston police on June 19 attempted to escape the back of officers’ patrol car by unbuckling herself and reportedly kicking at the middle partition, the inside of the doors, and even the back windshield. Don’t worry, though, police noted her attempts were far from successful.
That’ll do it
A Mount Pleasant woman on June 21 reportedly hit a concrete pillar at a Spotted Owl Drive gas station with her car. Police reportedly asked her if she had been drinking, and the woman replied, “I had two 12 liters of …” before trailing off. Any time you’re about to measure your drinking in liters, you’d be better off keeping your mouth shut.

“In what we’ve seen in the people that work for Allegiance, they blow us away every day with the quality that Allegiance is able to put out,” he added. “That’s why our customers are happy to pay more for our flag than a flag that they could get on the shelf of a hardware store or on Amazon.”
In May, Allegiance Flag Supply relocated its facility to 7600 Southrail Road in North Charleston, giving it 24,000 square feet to use for its manufacturing and distribution operations.

“It is always gratifying to see homegrown companies find success in our state. We congratulate Allegiance Flag Supply on this expansion in Charleston County and look forward to the impact this investment and the 84 jobs it creates will have in the local community.” McMaster said in
Former Gullah Geechee Corridor leader files lawsuit over firing
By Herb Frazier
Victoria Smalls, the former executive director of the Gullah Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor (GGCHC), has filed a lawsuit against the organization’s governing body, alleging it wrongfully fired her in November 2023.
Donald Gist of Columbia, said recently that Smalls “was doing an excellent job. It seems like there is an issue that arises in the day-to-day operation of the executive job. It looks like there was a territorial fight” between Smalls and the commission’s chairperson, Dionne HoskinsBrown of Savannah, Ga., he said.
a May 22 press release.
Of the 84 new positions, there will be seamstresses and sewers as well as fulfillment personnel — packaging, marketing, product development and human resources. Berry said the inward expansion will allow Allegiance to continue to advance and create more products.
“We’re so excited to be able to continue to grow here in Charleston where we can hire more people and have them be able to make more flags,” Berry said.

Smalls is alleging breach of contract, defamation and breach of contract with fraudulent intent, according to a lawsuit filed earlier this year in the 14th Judicial Circuit that includes Beaufort County. As a result of her termination, Smalls also alleges she suffered physical, mental and emotional damage.
Smalls is asking for a jury trial. She is seeking unspecified actual and compensatory damages against the Gullah Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor Commission (GGCHCC). Her attorney,
In July 2021, Smalls, a St. Helena Island native, was named GGCHC executive director of the Beaufort-based group. The corridor’s commission is the policy-making body for the corridor created by the U.S. Congress in 2006 to protect Gullah Geechee culture, natural resources and historic sites in a narrow four-state coastal region that extends from Wilmington, N.C., to St. Augustine, Fla.
Last year after her termination, Smalls told the Charleston City Paper in a text message that she was “no longer working with the GGCHC. I have launched my new consulting firm Smalls Cultural Resources.” She has

since declined further comment.
But in the lawsuit, Small claimed that on Sept. 29, 2023, while she was away at a conference, Hoskins-Brown emailed her to inform her that an [employee] complaint had been filed against her. An investigation then started, but Smalls alleged Hoskins-Brown terminated her on Nov. 24, 2023, following a commission meeting even though the investigation was ongoing.
While the investigation was being done, Smalls said Hoskins-Brown told her to place the staff on leave for 45 days.
Smalls also alleges Hoskin-Brown told her to keep the investigation confidential, but another commissioner, Griffin Lotson, contacted her and said he had been asked to participate in the investigation.
Hoskins-Brown and Lotson, the commission’s vice chairman, have declined to comment. In a recent text message to the City Paper Hoskins-Brown said the commission so far does not have a lawyer to represent it.
According to the lawsuit, Smalls said she was “blindsided, heartbroken and confused” as none of the staff had expressed concerns
about her management style.
Last November after the commission announced it was looking for a new executive director, Hoskins-Brown told the City Paper that “Victoria was phenomenally talented as a cultural advocate and orator who had extraordinary personal testimony. We valued that. Moving forward, the commission recognized a need for even stronger communication with our stakeholders and communities and nextlevel implementation.”
At that time, Lotson of Darien, Ga., said, “I am glad [Victoria] is bouncing back. That is a good thing for her under the circumstances. She has been good to the Gullah Geechee culture.”
During her two years of service, Smalls oversaw the move of the corridor’s office from Johns Island to Beaufort. In October 2023, she represented the corridor during meetings in Barbados where the corridor and Barbados signed an agreement to promote tourism and culture jointly.
The corridor is one of 62 National Heritage Areas managed by the National Park Service (NPS). It is unique, however. because the stories told in the corridor only come from one group, Gullah Geechee people within the 440-mile long corridor.

are working toward. He also thinks boosting power generation with natural gas will probably be necessary as a bridge to greener technologies in the future.
But he adds that decisions about when, where or whether to build new power plants of any kind should be left in the hands of the PSC.
“I just don’t think 170 members of the General Assembly are positioned to make
Nevertheless, he said, “we need to be pragmatic” about ensuring adequate supply in the short and medium term, particularly with so many coal plants set to be retired in the near future — yet another reason for urgency in passing an energy bill as quickly as possible next year.
“We senators intend to work on this during the summer and fall and have something we can hit the ground running with in January, knowing that time is of the essence,” Davis said.

Celebrate freedom on Carolina Day, July 4
Two hundred and forty eight years ago on Sullivan’s Island, American patriots thwarted a land and sea onslaught by the powerful military of Great Britain. Fort Sullivan had 435 militia men and 31 cannons in a stronghold built of palmetto logs and sand. Great Britain had 2,200 infantry and nine warships laden with explosive power. By the end of the day of sweaty, bloody fighting, the palmetto fort held, with logs absorbing shocks from British cannons. But the patriots’ cannons severely damaged two ships and moderately damaged two more. The British scuttled another frigate after it grounded. In all, 12 patriot fighters died in a battle that wounded 25 more of their troops. But 220 British were killed and wounded, including marines that drowned in Breach Inlet.
Today in South Carolina, we celebrate the June 28 victory as Carolina Day.
Six days after this first major patriot naval victory of the Revolutionary War, 56 leaders of 13 American colonies unanimously adopted a revolutionary document in Philadelphia saying they were independent states no longer subject to British rule.
The second sentence of the document is familiar and continues to inspire: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” What followed was a long list of grievances about British rule.
Today across the United States, we celebrate this Declaration
of Independence as the framework that began our nation.
The courageous words in the declaration have since sparked movements of freedom around the globe. Similarly, the courageous actions by South Carolina patriots just six days before kept the rich colonial port of Charleston open and the city free as conflict boiled. The nation’s Founding Fathers didn’t learn of the Charleston victory until days after they adopted the Declaration of Independence, but the defense of the Holy City put starch in the clothing of patriots throughout the colonies, showing how people in the “united states” could stand up to Britain with more than words.
At the time, Charlestonians understood the impact of their June 28 victory. As Charleston historian Nic Butler has written, they formed the Palmetto Society, which was dedicated to host an annual feast “principally for the purpose of celebrating the anniversary of that day, with decent and chearful [sic] festivity. … in commemorating an Action, the most important in its consequences to the State, the most honorable to our Troops, and the most disgraceful to our Enemies, that has been known since the commencement of the present arduous struggle for Liberty.”
Now as we look back to the founding of our nation, let’s remember the courage and zeal for freedom that leaders and everyday colonists showed as they took up pen and sword to break ties with oppression. And let’s really consider what’s at stake in 2024 as Americans consider whether to protect their hard-fought freedoms and independence or to let it wither in the face of authoritarian impudence.
CHARLESTON CHECKLIST
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.
Growing up in today’s South may be harder than in past
By Andy Brack
Ninety years ago, the red, sandy field in middle Georgia buzzed with agricultural activity as a grandfather worked the land to coax cotton out of 12 acres. It was hard work for a man who left school after seventh grade. After ginning a crop and paying back a government loan for seed and fertilizer, he pocketed about $50. For the year.
For all of the talk these days in politics about going back to simpler times, people forget the sweat and toil across a South with no air-conditioning, few phones, little reliable electricity and the soul-numbing racism, misogyny and poverty that filled every rural crack and crevice throughout the region. It was a different time.
Fast forward to the post-World War II years when my father grew up — not on the farm, but in the big city of Macon, Ga., where the family eventually shifted from renters to owners of a small home. Communication and transportation got better. Prosperity bloomed as more people moved off the farm and sent their kids to decent public schools. Some even became the first in their families to get college degrees.
The family unit was still strong as in-town folk often returned to the country to visit, eat, attend church services and generally commune. And while times were changing, the old bugaboo of race lurked in segregated schools, cafeterias, bus stations, theaters and daily interactions. “The good old days” still weren’t all that good for too many people across the South. Then came my generation where the late 1960s and 1970s saw huge changes with conflict among the old and young over civil rights, war, pollution and lifestyles. What emerged was an inward-focused culture that was more equal and diverse, but too comfortable with ego and greed. Too much of family got shoved aside for the all-important “me generation.”
Today’s Southerners are connecting but getting more disconnected.
Again, communication and transportation got better. Technology surged with endless solutions to generational problems. But politics started getting more divisive, just as more people prospered. And in the South, lots of people started moving in, which changed things even more. Now look at today’s youths, with their high-speed internet and social media obsessions that shrink society to a mobile phone and often put families on the sidelines. Oh, they can move money instantly, Facetime with a friend in Romania or learn a language using an app. But too many seem lonelier than the poor Southerners in times of my grandparents and parents. Today’s Southerners are connecting but getting more disconnected.
Florida-born humorist Sean Dietrich taps into this dichotomy as he plays banjo, piano and accordion to 200 audiences a year. Just this month in Charleston to a crowd of more than 400, he sang everything from church spirituals to the theme from Beverly Hillbillies. The mostly older, white audience knew the words and sang along.
Dietrich, 41, tells stories of the disappearing South, the region of the country where I worry my children and generations beyond won’t appreciate the Sunday church dinners on the grounds with tables laden with the best fried chicken, weird jello “salads’ and desserts galore.
“These stories are mostly about growing up in this interesting and diverse hotbed we call the South and there are so many shared experiences that we have from growing up in this part of the world,” he said in a recent interview. “And I fear that that way of life that we experienced when we came in — at least my generation — came in on the tail end of that way of life, and it’s falling apart.
“Everybody’s learning how to talk like Midwestern sports announcers. Everybody is learning how to be this global community instead of this rich, strong region that we used to experience.”
It all worries me too — the disconnect with extended family, the technological onslaught that sends us deeper into personal holes, the polarized politics grasping at a past that’s not going to come back. And while society now is more diverse and has more knowledge, I don’t think I’d want to grow up in the challenging world that kids encounter today. What about you?

Homelessness has a local cure, advocates say
By Za’Tozia Duffie and Greta Stuckey
Pastor Alfrieda Deas of North Charleston sits in her office at Bounce Back Incorporated and answers the twentieth phone call of the day. It’s somebody looking for a place to live. Over the past decade, Deas said she has seen a substantial increase in the need for affordable housing.
“I’ve been getting a lot of calls now from women with children and men with children who are displaced,” Deas said. “We have nothing to offer them.”
Like many services in Charleston, Bounce Back Inc. only accepts single men and women for transitional housing, Deas said. When families call, Deas often suggests they look into transitional family housing in Columbia. But she also recognizes most people don’t have the means to relocate.
“The sad thing is, I just have to tell the families, ‘I’m so sorry,’ ” Deas said. “I usually direct them to the Red Cross or Salvation Army to see if they can get a bus ticket out of Charleston.”
A point-in-time survey conducted by the Lowcountry Continuum of Care (LCC) on the night of Jan. 24, 2024, found that 4,532 people were served by the organizations that comprise the LCC.
It also found 285 people were unsheltered in the Charleston region and 199 people were in a shelter.
Changes over time
When Deas founded the North Charleston nonprofit in 2007, she remembers getting about five calls a day. Now, she’s seeing an increase in calls coming from families and people living with severe mental illness who get kicked out of their housing.
In recent years, Bounce Back has stopped taking in people with severe mental illnesses such as schizophrenia because it became a detriment to the community, Deas said.
The clients at Bounce Back Inc. can stay in transitional housing until they find permanent housing. Deas has clients pay a minimum rate based on their income and gives unemployed clients two weeks to find a job.
“The program is designed to support self-sufficiency so the people here never have to cross homelessness
again,” Deas said.
Unfortunately, transitional housing is only a shortterm solution for homelessness, Deas said. But, she believes Charleston has the resources to make more affordable housing.
“I’ve been meeting with the cities of Charleston and North Charleston, and mayors over the years,” Deas said. “They have a good heart toward bringing awareness and studying homelessness. But that money needs to be redirected toward getting homes for the homeless.”
Instead of creating more shelters or transitional housing, Deas said the mayors’ offices can put resources into low-income and affordable housing.
“I don’t understand how they have all this money and can’t open one building,” Deas said. “They just have to pay to get the building. We’ll show you how to do it.”
How the issue is being tackled
Stacey Denaux, CEO of 180Place in Charleston, said the city has the resources it needs to end homelessness.
“It has not reached a point where we can’t solve the problem if we really coordinate and target our resources,”
Deas
she said. For Denaux, this means getting local organizations and municipalities to join the Lowcountry Continuum of Care, the network of service providers supports those who are homeless and at risk of homelessness.
Currently, the City of Charleston Housing Authority provides support for 1,382 public housing households located throughout the city and more than 1,500 Housing Choice Voucher Program participants living in private accommodations.
“It’s really taking the resources [the city currently has] and working within the system that exists,” she said.
For example, Charleston issued a $20 million affordable housing bond in 2021 to help leverage additional private funding to make some significant strides in increasing the supply of affordable housing.
On the streets
Denaux said she is optimistic the city will begin working toward ending homelessness, instead of managing it as it has done in the past.
Denaux noted that in Charleston, people living on the streets are frequently displaced or arrested by law enforcement officers. It’s a practice she believes further marginalizes the homeless population.
“Those ordinances make it difficult to actually end homelessness,” she said. “We’re optimistic that under Mayor [William] Cogswell there’s a willingness to work within the homeless response system that already exists.”
In 2016, then-Charleston Mayor John Tecklenburg created the Homeless to Hope Fund to assist homeless individuals and families in their transition to permanent housing through service providers in Charleston, Mount Pleasant, Summerville and North Charleston. The fund still helps people with emergency housing, utility deposits, security deposits, first month’s rent and assistance in obtaining identification necessary to secure a lease.
Earlier this year, Cogswell announced the Low Country Rapid Housing Program. The transitional housing program would provide people a place to sleep, shower, get treatment and prepare for longterm stable housing.
Cogswell reportedly drew inspiration to adopt the program from a project previously implemented by Columbia almost a year ago.
It was last reported the Rapid Shelter in Columbia had 50 pods and was filled to capacity. In April officials said at least 34 people had found permanent housing through the program. Nearly 50 residents found jobs and more than 40 obtained health insurance. Critics of Columbia’s model wondered whether these results prove the program can be successful in Charleston. Denaux said the new program in Charleston could be successful if it is connected to LCC’s existing housing response.
Affordable housing won’t solve the problem alone
Meanwhile, Brandon Lilienthal, the homeless coordinator for North Charleston, said homeless families pay an average of $400 to $500 a week to stay in hotels.
“These families are working just to keep a roof over their heads because they can’t save,” he said.
Deas also said she has seen more people living in motels just to stay off the streets. Every month, Deas and other volunteers at Bounce Back deliver toiletries and clothing to the homeless.
Lately, the organization also started giving resources to people living in motels. She said motel guests are paying two times the rate of what her clients pay to live in transitional housing.
“Sometimes I get there and people say, ‘Oh, we’re so glad you came. We haven’t eaten in two days because I had to pay for my room tonight.’ ”
Staying in hotels is one form of low-income housing for some individuals. While low-income housing exists in Charleston, the demand is greater than what’s currently available.
Lilienthal said affordable housing isn’t accessible for everyone, particularly those on fixed incomes.
He said one of the populations facing homelessness at an increasing rate is seniors. Some only receive Social Security benefits that amount to about $900 a month. Lilienthal said that isn’t always enough to pay for stable housing.
“The individuals that are chronically homeless can’t even afford affordable housing,” he said. “We need more low-income housing.”
Current numbers are informing future plans
Denaux said although the data collected from the LCC does not show exponential growth in homelessness across Charleston, the issue is becoming more visible.
180Place serves roughly 850 people on a given day. Its Housing First and Rapid Re-Housing practices prioritize helping individuals find permanent homes.
“ I believe this is solvable. We have to really be focused on permanent outcomes, not temporary solutions — not a shelter or shed but truly a place that any of us would be willing to live in.”
—Stacey Denaux
“That model has not been proven successful,” she said. “I don’t think it’s been around long enough to have any real data that shows any large-scale outcomes.”
When asked to speak about the program and future plans to address homelessness in Charleston, Cogswell’s office declined an interview with the Charleston City Paper.
Police, city working on homelessness
By Skyler Baldwin
Charleston Mayor William Cogswell is touting new plans for less restrictive temporary housing and more robust public programs to address homelessness in the city.
The mayor’s plans, however, have been met with some skepticism, largely due to the plan including a caveat that calls for police to arrest unhoused people for minor offenses if they previously refused offers of help. Charleston director of communications Deja McMillan did not respond to requests for more information.
Reports last week said city officials were looking for policies that produce long-term results that keep people from sliding back into life on the streets. One outlet even reported the city’s police department was butting heads with the administration over that idea.
But Charleston Police Lt. Anthony Gibson told the Charleston City Paper June 25 that wasn’t the case.
“There’s no friction,” he said. “We work with the city of Charleston constantly on homelessness. … The city has really opened their doors on this. The mayor’s willingness to look at the issue holistically is good.”
Gibson added the department does not yet know the specifics of the plan, but said department leaders are working with the mayor’s office to ensure its efficacy.
As of now, he said, police do not take people’s status of having a home or being homeless into consideration when responding to calls.
“We work to remove as many barriers as possible,” Denaux said. “And for the barriers we cannot eliminate we help them navigate the systems that created those barriers so they can ultimately be housed.”
This summer, the organization will break ground on 70 units of affordable housing and a family shelter at 573 Meeting St. She said the 70 units of housing will be for people referred by the LCC, the network that spans seven counties. She said most of the providers who offer services for the homeless in Charleston are part of the network.
“I believe this is solvable,” Denaux said. “We have to really be focused on permanent outcomes, not temporary solutions — not a shelter or shed but truly a place that any of us would be willing to live in.”
Deas said she also believes homelessness in Charleston can improve. But, she recognizes how complex the problem is and said it’s going to take more money and resources to combat the issue.
“I don’t see anything happening until government officials step up and take responsibility to care for the less fortunate,” she said.
“Often, we come across homeless individuals on calls for service,” Gibson said. “It’s just an expectation of what we do. We just respond to everything all the time with everybody, and some people we come across happen to be homeless.”
On the streets
Gibson continued: “The vast majority of interactions with unhoused people do not have to be from a criminal standpoint,” he added. “There’s a variety of ways in which we interact. Being homeless is not a crime. Someone’s homeless status does not influence what we do as a police agency.”
He explained that several behaviors often are associated with someone’s housing status, including panhandling, but that protocols used by Charleston police officers vary depending on specific situations when answering calls.
“We get there, and immediately ask, ‘Who is the complainant, what was said and is there a crime being committed,’ ” he said.
The answer to the last question often depends on time, location and other factors, he said. Panhandling, for example, he said, is not in itself a crime, but the passing of items to and from vehicles is, as well as pedestrians who stand in a roadway.
In any case, when officers deal with unhoused people, Gibson added, officers generally refer them to city-sponsored programs designed to help people get off the streets.

Daniel Island residents experience real beauty of community Neighborhoods
By Anna Garziera
Charleston’s rich history is known far and wide. But within the Holy City’s limits lies a neighborhood younger than its median resident.
Kissed by the Wando and Cooper rivers, Daniel Island (DI) doesn’t have a lot in common with neighbors like Avondale, the East Side, Hampton Park or South of Broad. And unlike North Charleston and Mount Pleasant, DI is the only part of the city of Charleston that belongs entirely to Berkeley County.
It’s also the youngest community in Charleston.
The mostly unpopulated island was purchased by the Harry Frank Guggenheim Foundation in 1947 and primarily used for farming and cattle ranching. But completion of Interstate 526 in 1992 changed everything. The farmland was sold and construction began on Daniel Island. The planned community will celebrate its 30-year anniversary in 2026.
But Daniel Island’s rapid expansion hasn’t stripped the neighborhood of its charm: Charleston newcomers see real beauty in DI.
Influx of new residents
Terry of DI florist Blume Designs moved to the area in 2021. Her daughter, who went to the College of Charleston, recommended the island as a great place to relocate.
Terry, who asked that her last name not be used, fell in love with the island and didn’t look back: “The island is lovely. It’s well-developed and well cared for,” she said.
Home to local businesses and chain stores, Daniel Island has everything the everyday consumer needs and more. Laid out in a clever grid design, the neighborhood’s shopping arenas are accessible but separate from the residential areas, whose narrow streets give the island a cozy feel.
But the island’s personality isn’t the only thing that attracted Terry right away: “We’re in a great location — we’re 15 minutes from the airport, 15 to 20 minutes from downtown. We’re right in the middle,” she said.
More development on the way
Everything has a cost: The island’s convenient location is attracting more families — and more development — every year. Daniel Island currently is home to around 11,000 residents. That number is growing.
Erin Hanhauser moved to the island in 2008, where she started her real estate brokerage company Ever Haus Properties. She has seen the island grow.
“I used to see my colleagues and friends at Publix and at area restaurants all the time when I first moved here,” she said, recalling the small population of the island of two decades ago. “The population has grown quite a bit so now I feel like a smaller fish in a bigger sea.”
Though Daniel Island is a recent addition to the city of Charleston, its rich history dates back as far as 2500 B.C.
Cozy, tight-knit community
Daniel Island residents have worked hard to create a close-knit community in their fast-developing neighborhood. A mostly residential area, DI has a number of clubs and societies that locals can take part in.
From golf to boating to book to sports clubs, Daniel Island has one for every resident. And one club for newcomers.
“The East Cooper Newcomers Club (ECNC) was created to provide a friendly and welcoming means of enabling women who are newcomers to our area,” said incoming First Vice President Ellen Vance.
Through participating in social, educational and philanthropic activities, DI new-
comers can create connections with their new community, Vance said.
The ECNC, however, is not unique in welcoming new families to Daniel Island: “The neighbors are welcoming and ready to lend a hand if you need it,” she said.
Some glue that holds DI neighbors close is Bishop England High School (BEHS).
BEHS President Patrick Finneran said he is thankful for the year-round support the school receives from the community.
“Many of the school’s neighbors attend sporting and other events at the school,” he said.
BEHS relocated to DI from downtown in 1998 to expand its athletic facilities and
green space, Finneran said.
“The school is one of the original residents of the island, so many of the faculty and staff have watched the island grow,” he said.
Growth for the better
Daniel Island’s clubs and schools keep the island lively. Eleven-year island resident Bill Payer agrees: “There is an active young family dynamic,” he said.
Like many Daniel Island retirees, Payer moved there to be close to his son’s family, he said. He now works with the Daniel Island Historical Society.
“In the 10 years we’ve been here, growth has continued and traffic is heavier as a result,” said Payer, adding that he loves listening to “old timers” recall years when the island was less crowded with nostalgia.
But Payer isn’t mad about the new residents.
“There is a wide range of people from other parts of the country and plenty of local activities for all ages,” he said. “I find it
“
There is a wide range of
—Bill Payer
a very vital lifestyle,” Payer said. Broker Hanhauser is similarly glad for both fresh and longtime DI residents.
“For the most part, the people here are all very friendly and down to earth. We love our neighbors and everyone at our daughter’s school,” she said.
Through the years, she said she has seen
Daniel Island grow for the better.
“Most of the residents are here full-time and everyone is committed to ensuring our Island stays beautiful and welcoming.”

Couple behind Berkeley’s expands with The Archer
By Connelly Hardaway
Marc and Liz Hudacsko are neighborhood people. In an interview with Charleston City Paper earlier this year, Liz said that Berkeley’s is the kind of spot where she and Marc may see customers “two or three times a week, not once in a lifetime.”
The couple successfully transitioned their pop-up concept, We Flew South, to the Wagener Terrace brick-and-mortar in 2021. Now they’re looking to expand once again.
“We’re really all about our neighborhood, really about the people that work for us and the people that come to dine with us — we think it’s important to take care of them,” Marc said. “We wanted to be able to do that with our next restaurant [and] to do something that was the more grown up version.”
That grown up restaurant and bar is The Archer, a(nother) neighborhood spot with elevated fare and an adult vibe.
“We always envisioned doing something that was a grown up cousin of what we do [at Berkeley’s],” Hudacsko said. “It’s the place that’s super comfortable to come to a couple times a week if you want to treat it that way, or it can be a great special occasion place for you if that’s the way you want to look at it.”
The forthcoming restaurant has been popping up at Berkeley’s ahead of its opening and dishes have included items like short rib, scallops and chicken-fried grouper. Hudacsko wants guests to be able to enjoy these elevated eats later at night, too.
“I think there’s a place for that sort of watering hole [that has] great food as well,” he said. “Where I grew up, right outside of New York City, I spent a lot of time going to these great restau-
rants that were open late. … It was exciting and it was fun and you felt like you were an adult.”
Welcome to the (new) neighborhood
The Archer will be located at 601 Meeting St., the former location of Gale Restaurant, which shuttered in late 2023. The Archer’s location, on the ground floor of an apartment building that faces the entrance to the Ravenel Bridge, presents a different kind of neighborhood vibe than Berkeley’s. Still, the location doesn’t concern Hudacsko too much. He points to the stretch of King Street that’s home to Melfi’s, Leon’s, Little Jack’s, Graft Wine Shop and more, as an example of a part of town that has become a foodie hotspot, long before it was considered a conventional go-to location for dining out.
“Charleston, while it’s a pretty established city, I think we’re still finding so much of our identity, especially as we move up the peninsula,” he said. “People live in parts of town that they didn’t used to live in and they travel
different roads … this is a part of town that’s on the edge of what its potential is.”
Hudacsko sees a lot of potential in The Archer’s “really fun” food menu and its strong cocktail program — a departure from the beer and wine only offerings at Berkeley’s. The Archer’s food will be

Marc and Liz Hudacsko love the Wagener Terrace neighborhood and are excited to expand their reach
“elevated comfort food,” a natural expansion from Berkeley’s offerings of, as its menu proclaims, “sandwiches and supper.”
“One of our rules is, we don’t want you to get your phone and Google anything,” joked Hudacsko. “Our chef Paul Farmer (formerly of Three Sirens and Butcher & Bee) has really embraced this ‘comfortable classics’ but with a spin. And our bar program is doing the same thing, where we’ve got a couple of talented people on our team and they’re coming up with some things we’re really excited about.”
The bar program is curated by Jimmy Chmielewski, previously of Proof and Estadio. A recent pop-up at Proof featured cocktails like the Ambiguous Bird, made with rum, coconut oolong Campari, pineapple and lime and the Sake Spritz, made with Ginjo Sake, saline, charred lemon tonic and black pepper.
Building a second restaurant after the success of the first is always a daunting task — can the magic carry over into a new spot with a new audience? Hudacsko thinks the answer is in consistency — and a loyal fanbase.
“You have to build something great, and then people will find you,” he said. “Somebody said to me a while ago and it stuck with me, ‘If you stick to what you are, your tribe will find you.’ You don’t need everyone in the world to love your restaurant. You just need the people who love your restaurant to really love it.”

The makers of Firefly Distillery recently launched Tom & Huck Distillers, a collection of aged spirits, i.e. bourbon and whiskey. The spirits are, according to a recent tour of the barrel house, distinguished by the unique maritime climate of the Lowcountry. In layman’s terms: The extreme heat in this area ages the spirits faster than other conditions might. Firefly’s longtime head distiller Jay Macmurphy (the stepson of co-founder Jim Irvin) will lead Tom & Huck, alongside his daughter, Riley Macmurphy, who will work as head blender and line lead.

The Villain Edit explores reality TV
Charleston author Laurie Devore’s The Villain Edit comes out July 2, a sharp and sexy satirical dramedy that was listed as one of Cosmopolitan’s “17 Books We Can’t Wait to Read in Summer 2024.”
Known for her young adult novels, (A Better Bad Idea, Winner Take All and How to Break a Boy), The Villain Edit is Devore’s longawaited adult debut. It follows a cynical romance novelist who goes on a dating show to revive her career — only to discover that the producers have turned her into the show’s villain.
been called a “fast paced, clever and wickedly compelling” novel, Her Best Self — part thriller, part drama that follows women clawing at independence.
Protagonist Janelle Wolf uncovers the truth behind her mysterious car accident with the help of an alluring psychic healer, unraveling scandals that disrupt her family and small southern town, the fictional city of Haven, S.C.
The Succession-esque story begins with that car wreck. And letting off the brakes leads to the discovery of swingers and wife swaps; swindlers and woo-woo scams; senatorial elections and campaign strategy; secrets and manipulated information; incest and inheritance and a wedding that’s more like a game of Stratego.
The novel capitalizes on our collective pop culture obsession with reality TV chaos — think last year’s “Scandoval” from Vanderpump Rules, or the messiness of shows like Netflix’s Love is Blind or the Bachelor/Bachelorette series.
On July 11, Devore will host an event at Blue Bicycle Books in conversation with fellow Charlestonian author, Victoria Benton Frank (My Magnolia Summer). Learn more at lauriedevore.com and bluebiyclebooks.com. The Villain Edit is out July 2 and available for preorder from HarperCollins.

Written with wry humor, this diabolically entertaining tale of deception, temptation and love explores what happens when the transgressions of the past come back with a vengeance. Available now through Regal House Publishing.

If you’re going to do Southern rock right, you probably need to look at the past masters: bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Allman Brothers or even modern day practitioners like Blackberry Smoke are vital to a young band’s Southern rock education.
Luckily, the Auburn, Alabama based quintet The Vegabonds have had front row seats to shows by some of the best to ever play Southern rock — having shared the stage in its early days with Skynyrd and Gregg Allman.
“Those are shows where you just sit back and watch a master at work,” said The Vegabonds’ lead singer and chief songwriter, Daniel Allen. “We played with Gregg Allman, and we just stood side-stage and watched him do his thing. It was just amazing how he commanded the stage and how he connected with the crowd.”
As you might imagine, Allman made an indelible impression on the young Southern rockers.
“As a fan, it takes you back to the first times that you heard those songs,” Allen said, “And that’s what we want our music to do to our fans as well. This is year 15 for us, and we hope that when people come to our shows it takes them back to a time when
they first heard our music; it’s almost like a time machine.”
Music like a time machine
The band formed in 2009, and in addition to Allen, The Vegabonds includes guitarist Richard Backhand, keyboard player Beau Cooper, bassist Paul “Loose Moose” Bruens and drummer Bryan “Little Buddy” Harris. They started off playing covers but quickly moved to original songs, and they’ve since released six studio albums, the most recent being 2021’s hard-rocking but countrytinged Sinners and Saints
The band’s approach is distilled perfectly on Sinners and Saints, ranging from the swaggering stomp of the opening track, “Juke and Jive” to the surging, anthemic “Ain’t Giving Up” to the soulful ballad “Heartache & A Memory.”
It’s a sound that begs for a zero-polish approach in the studio; raw and rugged, and the band is intent on keeping things that way.
“We’re very conscious of it,” Allen said, “because our sound needs to be like you’re listening to it live. I think that’s the best way for us to connect: for us to sound like The Vegabonds. … We want that vibe to be raw.”
Over the years, The Vegabonds have found
a sort of second home in South Carolina, particularly Columbia and Charleston. Allen spoke passionately about the fan base they’ve grown here and about the venue they play at most often, The Windjammer, where they’ll perform on July 20.
“We’ve played a lot in South Carolina over the years,” Allen said. “We absolutely love Charleston, and The Windjammer is probably one of the top three venues for me.”
The Vegabonds are celebrating their fifteenth anniversary as a working band, and as part of that celebration, they’ll spend 2024 releasing reimagined versions of songs from their catalog, notably a “beach music” version of “Where We Used To Go” and a new take on their most popular song, “Shaky Hands.”
Revisiting those older songs has caused Allen to think about where the group started and where it is now.
“Some days I think, ‘Wow, this has been a long journey,’ ” he said. “And some days it feels like it was just yesterday we got started. But when I start thinking about it, I realize that we’ve done so much, and it’s been a crazy wild ride. We’ve done three European tours, played all over the U.S., and we’ve put out six studio albums. It’s been a great run, and we’re gonna keep it going.”

Free Will Astrology
ARIES (March 21-April 19): This may sound weird, but I think now is a perfect time to acquire a fresh problem. Not just any old boring problem, of course. Rather, I’m hoping you will carefully ponder what kind of dilemma would be most educational for you — which riddle might challenge you to grow in ways you need to. Here’s another reason you should be proactive about hunting down a juicy challenge: Doing so will ensure that you won’t attract mediocre, meaningless problems.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Now is an excellent time to start learning a new language or to increase your proficiency in your native tongue. Or both. It’s also a favorable phase to enrich your communication skills and acquire resources that will help you do that. Would you like to enhance your ability to cultivate friendships and influence people? Are you interested in becoming more persuasive, articulate and expressive? If so, Taurus, attend to these self-improvement tasks with graceful intensity. Life will conspire benevolently on your behalf if you do. (PS: I’m not implying you’re weak in any of these departments; just that now is a favorable time to boost your capacities.)
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Barbara Sher and Barbara Smith wrote the book I Could Do Anything If I Only Knew What It Was: How to Discover What You Really Want and How to Get It. I invite you to think and feel deeply about this theme during the coming months. In my experience with Geminis, you are often so versatile and multi-faceted that it can be challenging to focus on just one or two of your various callings. And that may confuse your ability to know what you want more than anything else. But here’s the good news. You may soon enjoy a grace period when you feel really good about devoting yourself to one goal more than any other.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): You are entering a phase when you will be wise to question fixed patterns and shed age-old habits. The more excited you get about re-evaluating everything you know and believe, the more likely it is that exciting new possibilities will open up for you. If you are staunchly committed to resolving longstanding confusions and instigating fresh approaches, you will launch an epic chapter of your life story. Wow! That sounds dramatic. But it’s quite factual. Here’s the kicker: You’re now in prime position to get vivid glimpses of specific successes you can accomplish between now and your birthday in 2025.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): How many different ways can you think of to ripen your spiritual wisdom? I suggest you choose two and pursue them with gleeful vigor in the coming weeks. You are primed to come into contact with streams of divine revelations that can change your life for the better. All the conditions are favorable for you to encounter teachings that will ennoble your soul and hone your highest ideals. Don’t underestimate your power to get the precise enlightenment you need.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Border collies are dogs with a herding instinct. Their urges to usher, steer, and manage are strong. They will not only round up sheep and cattle, but also pigs, chickens, and ostriches — and even try to herd cats. In my estimation, Virgo, border collies are your spirit creatures these days. You have a special inclination and talent to be a good shepherd. So use your aptitude with flair. Provide extra navigational help for people and animals who would benefit from your nurturing guidance. And remember to do the same for your own wayward impulses!
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): We have arrived at the midpoint of 2024. It’s check-in time. Do you recall the promises you made to yourself last January? Are you about halfway into the frontier you vowed to explore? What inspirational measures could you instigate to renew your energy and motivation for the two most important goals in your life? What would you identify as the main obstacle to your blissful success, and how could you diminish it?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Scorpio-born Gary Hug was educated as a machinist and food scientist, but for many years he has worked primarily as an amateur astronomer. Using a seven-foot telescope he built in the backyard of his home, he has discovered a comet and 300 asteroids, including two that may come hazardously close to Earth. Extolling the joys of being an amateur, he says he enjoys “a sense of freedom that you don’t have when you’re a professional.” In the coming weeks, Scorpio, I encourage you to explore and experiment with the joys of tasks done out of joy rather than duty. Identify the work and play that feel liberating and indulge in them lavishly.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your power spots will be places that no one has visited or looked into for a while. Sexy secrets and missing information will be revealed to you as you nose around in situations where you supposedly should not investigate. The light at the end of the tunnel is likely to appear well before you imagined it would. Your lucky number is 8, your lucky color is black and your lucky emotion is the surprise of discovery. My advice: Call on your memory to serve you in amazing ways; use it as a superpower.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Happy Unbirthday, Capricorn! It’s time to celebrate the season halfway between your last birthday and your next. I hope you will give yourself a fun gift every day for at least the next seven days. Fourteen days would be even better. See if you can coax friends and allies to also shower you with amusing blessings. Tell them your astrologer said that would be a very good idea. Now here’s an unbirthday favor from me: I promise that between now and January 2025, you will create healing changes in your relationship with your job and with work in general.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): While sleeping, my Aquarian friend Janelle dreamed that she and her family lived in a cabin in the woods. When dusk was falling, a strange animal put its face against the main window. Was it a bear? A mountain lion? Her family freaked out and hid in a back bedroom. But Janelle stayed to investigate. Looking closely, she saw the creature was a deer. She opened up the window and spoke to it, saying, “What can I do for you?” The deer, who was a talking deer, said, “I want to give you and your family a gift. See this necklace I’m wearing? It has a magic ruby that will heal a health problem for everyone who touches it.” Janelle managed to remove the necklace, whereupon the deer wandered away and she woke up from the dream. During subsequent weeks, welcome changes occurred in her waking life. She and three of her family members lost physical ailments that had been bothering them. I think this dream is a true fairy tale for you in the coming weeks, Aquarius.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A psychologist friend tells me that if we have an intense craving for sugar, it may be a sign that deeper emotional needs are going unmet. I see merit in her theory. But here’s a caveat. What if we are currently not in position to get our deeper emotional needs met? What if there is at least temporarily some barrier to achieving that lovely goal? Would it be wrong to seek a partial quenching of our soul cravings by communing with fudge brownies, peach pie, and crème brûlée? I don’t think it would be wrong. On the contrary. It might be an effective way to tide ourselves over until more profound gratification is available. But now here’s the good news, Pisces: I suspect more profound gratification will be available sooner than you imagine.
