Clyburn worried about Project 2025’s potential effect on South Carolina News
By Herb Frazier
U.S. Rep. James E. Clyburn, D-S.C., recently told the Charleston City Paper that he fears the nation’s Electoral College is a potential barrier to a Harris-Walz victory, even if the Democratic team wins the popular presidential vote on Nov. 5.
“I think that [Vice President] Kamala Harris will repeat and do better than what [President] Joe Biden did when he won the popular vote by 7 million votes,” Clyburn said in an interview.
But after trips to the battleground states of Georgia, North Carolina and Michigan, where the vote is close, Clyburn, a political realist, said, “I can tell you there is reason to be concerned when it comes to the Electoral College.”
In addition to those worries, he said he is also concerned about the effects of the controversial conservative governing plan Project 2025 on the Palmetto State. The Center for American Progress (CAP), a nonpartisan Washington, D.C., policy group, has released a state-by-state analysis of how Project 2025 could affect American households financially, if former President Donald Trump wins.
“Project 2025 will impact low-income South Carolinians significantly because it will cost the average South Carolinian $2,500 a year in taxes, while the upper 1% will get a big tax break,” Clyburn warned.
The plan’s effect on health care, he cautioned, “is particularly disconcerting to me. Hundreds of thousands of low-income and disabled (people) in South Carolina could lose access to health care. For them to force seniors into corporate health insurance will have a tremendous impact.”
Project 2025 at a glance
Some fear the 900-plus-page right-wing policy book, called a “wish list” for the next Republican president, could change the nation’s social blueprint and broaden presidential powers. As the election draws closer, however, Trump has reportedly disavowed the plan written by many of his former staffers working with the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank. Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, have called the plan dangerous as they try to tie Trump to it. “Project 2025 is a plan to make Trump and his rich friends even richer” is one of a series of warnings that screams the plan’s perils
on their campaign website.
The Heritage Foundation’s website, however, says Harris is wrong about Project 2025. The foundation calls the plan “good for America,” claiming it is not focused on a “single presidential candidate.” The foundation argues that the plan is not new, but it is part of a series of conservative policies dating back to the Reagan administration.
CAP describes Project 2025, however, as an authoritarian playbook to weaken the country’s system of checks and balances to make room for an extreme far-right agenda that would harm ordinary citizens. It would give politicians, judges and corporations more control over Americans’ lives and hurt households financially, CAP said.
Project 2025 in S.C.
In South Carolina and elsewhere, CAP’s study anticipates higher costs for taxes, prescription drugs and student loan payments.
The plan also could threaten reproductive rights by making it illegal to use the U.S. postal system to mail abortion medication, effectively creating a nationwide abortion ban even in states where abortion is legal, the CAP study warns.
The CAP analysis also suggests a possible end to Head Start and Title I programs for public school students from low-income households, causing school children to lose access to quality education, said retired Charleston County educator Barbara Dilligard.
“Eliminating Title I and Head Start programs will result in fewer teachers serving
U.S. Rep. James Clyburn, D-S.C., said Project 2025 poses a greater threat to low-income and disabled residents of states like South Carolina

‘The Wall That Heals’ heading to Ridgeville
A traveling replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial wall in Washington D.C., “The Wall That Heals,” is on display in Ridgeville through Sunday.
The three-quarter scale replica of the memorial wall bears the names of 58,281 men and women who died in the Vietnam War and also honors the more than 3 million Americans who served.
A mobile education center and information trailer will accompany the memorial with displays including:
Hometown Heroes: a rotation of digital photos of local service members;
In Memory Honor Roll: a digital photo display of South Carolina Vietnam veterans;
An in-memory plaque that honors other Vietnam veterans who returned home but later died of unrelated causes.
“The Wall That Heals” is open 24/7.
Project 2025’s effect on South Carolina
• Taxes: A possible tax hike of $2,506 per year e for the typical family of four.
• Social Security: A median-wage retiree could lose $46,000 to $100,000 over 10 years.
• Health care: Project 2025 proposes limits or lifetime caps on [Medicaid] benefits.
• Prescription drugs: Elimination of out-of-pocket Medicare drug cost limits for about 334,960 people.
• Emergency contraception: 733,000 women could lose guaranteed access to free emergency contraception.

students with the greatest needs and stifle the progress that schools are making with early childhood development and equal access to a good education,” she said.
“Project 2025 is designed to create more people to be servants of the privileged class and solidify an even greater caste system to further divide our country,” she predicted. “It is intended to fund private schools with public taxes.”
The country should increase public school spending to prepare students for future challenges, Dilligard said. “This will support the progress made after the learning loss due to COVID-19.”

SATURDAY,
10 candidates running for four CCSD seats
By Skyler Baldwin
Ten candidates want to fill four Charleston County School District board of trustees’ seats that are up for grabs Nov. 5.
The Charleston County school board has been a hotbed of controversy since five Moms for Liberty–backed candidates took the majority of the board’s seats two years ago. Now, opponents of the national rightwing political group have the opportunity to break the hold the faction has over the county’s education system.
“It has become hard to get anything accomplished,” said incumbent Daron Lee Calhoun II of West Ashley. “I have to think about what I’m doing and what I’m doing it for, but now I’m also thinking, ‘What kind of an agenda are they trying to push through?’
“It’s exhausting,” Calhoun continued, “and it should not be that way. I am not a politician, and I do not aspire to be one, but the only way I can advocate for these kids is by playing their game.”
Board members Ed Kelley (District 2), Keith Grybowski (District 1), Pam McKinney (District 3), Carlotte Bailey (District 5) and Leah Whatley (District 7) were each backed by the uber-right Moms for Liberty organization in 2022.
The political rift between these members and the others — Calhoun (District 6), Darlene Dunmeyer-Roberson (District 8), Carol Tempel (District 9) and Courtney Waters (District 4) — has led to ongoing conflict over the last two years, beginning with former Superintendent Eric Gallien’s contract. Its dissolution ultimately cost the district more than $350,000.
“It’s a shame we have a team of adults who don’t know how to put their differences aside,” said District 4 candidate Kevin D. Hollinshead. “If I was to win, I would reach
out to both sides, and I would try to find a happy medium.”
Newcomers feel the tension, too.
District 2 candidate Carolina D. Jewett of Mount Pleasant said she was running to address the division.
“Ultimately, these positions should not be political in any way,” she said. “When you make a decision, it should be based on what’s best for all of our children, not whether it’s a Democratic or Republican policy.”
Book bannings cause tension
The most recent division amongst board members is over a newly adopted state resolution that makes it easier for parents to label classroom and school library material as “inappropriate,” putting the highlighted item on a track for removal from the school. The resolution comes after years of politically motivated attempted book bannings from right-wing political groups and individuals, including one parent who on one day recommended the removal of nearly 100 books from Berkeley County schools.
Under the new state resolution, a single person can recommend five books be examined per month. The school board is then responsible for analyzing the books and making a decision on whether the content is appropriate.
“It’s going to take us further away from the work that we need to be doing,” Calhoun said. “I have things I want to get done that I believe will be great for this district,” he added. “But how can I when we’re dealing with this mess all day?”
Hollinshead agreed, adding that teachers and school administrations should be trusted to provide classroom materials that
are appropriate for their students and that decisions between students and their parents should be left up to the parents.
The Charleston City Paper reached out to each of the 10 candidates to talk about their campaign, but only half provided comments, as noted below.
Candidates by district
District 2 (East Cooper)
Ed Kelley (incumbent), of Mount Pleasant, is a Moms for Liberty-backed board member who has supported parental rights in schools since his election in 2022. Kelley did not respond to requests for comment.
Carolina D. Jewett, of Mount Pleasant, is a small business owner who wants to prioritize keeping education funding in public schools and breaking down political barriers in schools. “When I found out what was going on and where we could be going, I realized if I didn’t run, and nobody else did either, it might become a real concern for Charleston,” she told the City Paper
District 4 (North Charleston)
Kevin D. Hollinshead, of North Charleston, said he wants the school board to set aside political differences to focus on the needs of students and families, especially those in low-income households or struggling with homelessness. “A student can’t perform in school if they don’t know where they’re sleeping that night,” he said.
Craig Logan, of North Charleston, currently serves as the vice president for the Chicora neighborhood association. He did not respond to requests for comment.
District 6 (West Ashley-area)
Daron Lee Calhoun II (incumbent), of
Charleston, said he is proud of the pay raises the board was able to secure for teachers but wants to continue the trend for classified school staff as well. “We are not where we need to be yet, but we can see the upward trajectory,” he told the City Paper. “I consider that a success.”
Michele Leber, of Johns Island, is a veteran mother of three and wife of Republican State Rep. Matt Leber. She declined to comment on the school board election.
Samuel Whatley II, of North Charleston, who previously ran for the District 6 seat in 2022, said the school board currently appears to act as if “they are still attending middle school lunchroom arguments.” He said one of his biggest priorities will be to get the board back on track to act in the best interest of those within the school system and in accordance with state law.
District 8 (Hollywood-RavenelJohns Island)
Darlene Dunmeyer-Roberson, (incumbent), of Hollywood, said the greatest challenge facing county schools is educational equity. “We must continue to advocate for equitable funding models to ensure that all schools, regardless of their location, have access to quality teachers, advanced learning materials and resources,” she told the City Paper
Michelle Faust , of Johns Island, has been an education advocate since 2013, according to her campaign website. Faust did not respond to requests for comment.
Charles Glover, of Johns Island, is the board chair of the Charleston County Constituent School Board District 23. Glover did not respond to requests for comment.
Despite setbacks, S.C. still ‘bullish’ on electric vehicles, batteries
By Jack O’Toole
South Carolina officials say they’re still determined to transform the Palmetto State into a global powerhouse in electric vehicle (EV) and battery manufacturing, despite delays in major projects.
An economic driver in that unwavering commitment is almost $1 billion in new federal funding announced in recent weeks.
“South Carolina remains bullish on the industry and [its] role in our economy — and creating opportunities for all South Carolinians,” S.C. Commerce Department spokesman Alex Clark told the Charleston City Paper. “Many of our large, announced projects are already under construction and starting to make their mark on local
communities [and] the local economy.”
Five of those local battery production and recycling projects got major boosts on Sept. 20 with the announcement of $850 million in federal funding under 2021’s Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), better known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. The recipients were:
• American Battery Technology Company: $150 million.
All totaled, the projects are expected to create about 1,500 permanent, full-time jobs.
“In positioning South Carolina as a leader in the battery manufacturing space,” U.S. Rep. James Clyburn, D-S.C., said in a press statement, “the Biden-Harris administration is connecting communities to opportunity throughout the state for generations to come as we continue our transition toward a clean energy economy.”
Recent setbacks
Despite continuing commitments at the federal and state levels, experts say 2024 is a challenging time for automotive and battery manufacturers, with softer-than-expected demand for EVs, particularly in the U.S.
As a result, car companies have recently announced major cutbacks in planned EV production. Meanwhile, the price of lithium, a rare metal used in modern batteries, has fallen more than 80% over the past two years, reflecting significant oversupply in the context of weakened demand. In S.C., those issues have led to delays in a number of major projects, most notably an indefinite pause in the construction of a $1.3 billion lithium production facility in Chester County.
“Currently, two main elements are driving consumer demand and those come down to price and convenience,” University of South Carolina economist Joseph Von
Nessen told the City Paper. And while prices are starting to become competitive with traditional automobiles, Von Nessen explained, convenience of EVs for consumers is still a major roadblock to widespread adoption.
“When we talk about convenience, that primarily means battery life and the availability of charging stations,” Von Nessen said. “And it’s still very much an open question as to how quickly those elements will improve.”
‘Moving up in the value chain’
With more than $12 billion in federal, state and private investments and almost 11,000 new jobs promised in current projects, South Carolina is betting big on EVs and the batteries that power them.
“EV-related companies account for more than half of the $10.27 billion in economic development South Carolina announced last year [and] that speaks to our state’s great potential to lead in this sector,” Gov. Henry McMaster, long a champion of EV manufacturing, said in February 2023. “Our business-friendly climate and our greatest resource — our people — make South Carolina the place where the EV industry can transform the future.”
This week, the Commerce Department’s Clark called that transformation “critical” — particularly given the 75,000 S.C. jobs that already rely on a healthy automotive sector fueled by tire production, vehicle manufacturing, logistics and engineering, port operations and more..
“The industry is currently undergoing the largest transformation in the last 100 years as it shifts from the gasoline combustion engine to the electric vehicle,” Clark said. “It is imperative for South Carolina to be part of this transformation in order to secure our existing jobs and to create jobs that will last into the future.”
According to Von Nessen, those sentiments square with the long-term projections, though there are still important questions to be answered.
“Demand is coming, but the timing is very uncertain,” he said. “And where that demand will land is also uncertain. Are we talking about a market where 50% of new vehicles are EVs in 10 or 15 years or does it stabilize at 30 to 40%?”
Nevertheless, he says, EVs and batteries represent an opportunity for South Carolinians to profit from auto manufacturing in a way they never have in the past.
“If we look at auto manufacturing to date, one of the things we don’t make in South Carolina is engines, which is the highest value-add of a vehicle,” Von Nessen said. “And so, by focusing on electric motor and battery production, that allows us to move up in the value chain, which will be very beneficial to the state in the long run.”
Blotter of the Week
Two North Charleston men on Oct. 11 reportedly stole several car air fresheners from a Ladson Road gas station. Employees told city police they couldn’t determine how many air fresheners were taken. But nabbing these criminals should be pretty easy, officers: Just find the nicest-smelling car in North Charleston, and you got your guys.
A little more hustle, please?
Mount Pleasant police on Oct. 13 reportedly attempted a traffic stop on a fleeing U-Haul truck after receiving a call about a reported shoplifting. The drivers of the truck, however, did not stop for officers, and pursuing officers shortly after called off the chase. Come on guys, you let a U-Haul outrun you this time?
A little superfluous then
Mount Pleasant police on Oct. 13 pulled over a driver for suspected driving under the influence. The driver reportedly failed every portion of the field sobriety test before a search of her vehicle, where police found a half-empty wine bottle near the front driver’s seat. We bet they weren’t too surprised.

Pick county leaders with vision, energy
Charleston County voters have 10 competitive local elections from which to choose leaders who can chart visionary courses for our future.
Perhaps the most important races are four slots on the Charleston County School District Board of Trustees, which has been roiled in controversy over the past two years after a full slate of new board members took office, including five put up by the uber-conservative, reactionary Moms for Liberty (M4L) political organization.
Now is the time to take the board’s majority power away from that right-wing faction to ensure the school board focuses on student outcomes, not outside national political agendas. Along those lines, it’s critical to reelect two reasonable trustees who have not wilted under two years of Moms for Liberty control — Daron Lee Calhoun II of West Ashley and Darlene DunmeyerRoberson of Hollywood. Both will continue to fight for children.
To wrest control of the board away from uber-conservatives, restore reason and calm, and focus on governing, voters in East Cooper are encouraged to support Caroline Jewett to replace M4L-backed Ed Kelley while North Charleston voters should fill an open seat by sending former trustee Kevin Hollinshead to serve again to help to fight secret agendas. In other county races, we endorse:
Scarlett Wilson for solicitor. While the race is lucky to have two seasoned professionals from which to choose, we give the nod to Ms. Wilson’s experience to keep bad guys in jail.
Kristin Graziano for sheriff. Although a frequent target of political attacks, Graziano has worked to restore trust
across the community and improve lagging services at the county jail. Let’s give her four more years to refresh old-timey structures that still need work.
Bobbi Jo O’Neal for coroner. A registered nurse, O’Neal has run the coroner’s office with impressive professionalism and transparency. More of the same needed.
Mary Tinkler for county treasurer. A former S.C. House member with a zeal for public service, Tinkler brings boatloads of experience as a responsible steward of more than $2 billion in government assets. Her job is not yet done.
Rob Wehrman for county council, District 3 (North Charleston to Mount Pleasant). Running for his second term, Wehrman is a seasoned lawyer who works for what most people want — responsible solutions to keep a high quality of life. He’s got reasonable priorities — housing affordability, traffic and flooding — that need more of council’s attention.
Sydney van Bulck for county council, District 7 (West Ashley). A political newcomer, van Bulck has experience with government as a former teacher and current home renovation professional who “gets it” when it comes to local government. She wants to be a change agent in government to reduce the threat of flooding and improve critical infrastructure.
Election Day is Nov. 5. Make it count locally.
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.

Is it chatGPT or human?
By Andy Brack
We live in an American era now when the little white lies that people tell are exploding everyday into big colorful tall tales.
You can see outright lies daily in political discourse in Congress. On television. In the media. And recently, lies soared as some people tried to take political advantage of storm tragedies when spreading filth that federal disaster aid was being provided in a partisan manner. It just isn’t, according to mainstream Republicans and Democrats.
There’s no single reason for the extra doses of disinformation, misinformation and falsehoods that assault us everyday. But the answer more than likely lies (no pun intended) at the intersection of a culture moving too fast, easy access to information that can be corrupted, immoral people using the internet to cause division, and a current political environment in which lying has become more common.
So when a pretty smart high school student lamented about how peers often use ChatGPT to generate human-like responses for assignments, we saw yet another instance about how too many students now seem to think it’s acceptable to turn in work that’s not their own. (We call that plagiarism.)
If you want to see how easy it is to use an automated tool to do your work for you, we asked this of ChatGPT: Write a 200-word commentary for a South Carolina newspaper on why it is bad to lie.
Read both options and then figure out which a human wrote.
Option One: Lying erodes trust and undermines S.C.
Lying, regardless of intent, erodes trust and undermines the very foundation of our relationships and communities. In South Carolina, where our values are steeped in integrity and respect, dishonesty can have farreaching consequences. When we lie, we not only deceive others but also create a cycle of mistrust that can lead to isolation and conflict.
In personal relationships, honesty fosters open communication and understanding. In professional settings, integrity is crucial; a culture of dishonesty can stifle collaboration and innovation, ultimately harming productivity and morale.
Moreover, lies can have societal implications. They can distort public opinion, fuel division, and erode confidence in institutions. In a time when misinformation spreads rapidly, the responsibility to uphold the truth becomes even more critical.
South Carolinians pride ourselves on our sense of community and shared values. By committing to honesty, we strengthen our bonds and create an environment where trust can flourish. In a world that often feels divided, let us choose truth as our guiding principle.
Option Two: Lying hurts society and is a moral wrong
For our society to function, people need to be able to trust what others say. In South Carolina, which has a centuries-old tradition of seeking to follow the Bible Ten Commandments, people are reminded at churches that they should follow these commandments, the ninth of which is about lying when it says “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.”
Lying hurts social order and fosters its breakdown because people have a more difficult time in knowing what’s real and what’s not. That can lead to the destruction of interpersonal relationships.
Some might argue that it’s OK to tell small lies to make some difficult situations easier. For example, a child of an elderly parent might tell people that he or she passed away peacefully when in fact the person went through great pain and stress. But many psychologists say that telling these “white lies” cause small breakdowns in our society.
For a civil society with democratic institutions, South Carolinians deserve honest interactions at work and school and with neighbors, employers and employees. If we succumb to dishonesty, we cause erosion of institutions in Palmetto State South Carolina. We must choose truth over lies.
If you picked Option Two as the one written by a human, you’d be correct. (Note, however, that a couple of mistakes were added intentionally to make it look like ChatGPT!)
Stick to the truth. It’s what makes our democracy strong.

Haunted happenings for your Halloween
By Chloe Hogan
s Halloween creeps around the corner, there’s no shortage of ways to celebrate. You can get spooked at thrilling traditions like Boone Hall’s Fright Nights and shoot aliens with laser guns at the new, Area 51-inspired Nightmare at the Navy. Or, find artistic celebrations in this spooky season roundup, such as the Palmetto City Ballet’s production of Dracula and Charleston’s only shadowcast production of Rocky Horror Picture Show. Maybe you’ll want to play tourist by checking out an entertaining ghost tour.
Whether or not you like being scared, there’s weird, wacky and wonderful activities around town for everyone this Halloween season.
Spend a night in Transylvania with Charleston’s Absent Friends
Charleston’s Absent Friends (CAF) is the only shadowcast troupe in Charleston. “Shadowcast” is a term that emerged in the late 1980s to describe the performances that grew around the queer-centered, cult classic 1975 film, The Rocky Horror Picture Show (RHPS). In the film, sweethearts Brad and Janet discover the eerie mansion of transvestite scientist Dr. Frank-N-Furter, and the pair ‘lose their innocence’ as they meet his wild friends. As the film plays, a shadowcast acts along with screen-accurate costumes, props and fun traditions for audience interaction. But CAF is about so much more than dress-up, said the group’s leader, Jules Elizabeth.
“Rocky Horror and this tradition of shadowcasting, it’s been a safe space for queer folks since the 70s,” Elizabeth explained. “This movie is almost 50 years old, and it is still just as relevant today.”
CAF offers its RHPS shadowcast on the first Friday of every month at the Terrace Theater. It’s a chance to dress up, find community and engage with an art experience that brings together elements of drag and improv.
“If you feel different, or like you’re one of the rejects, this is your place,” Elizabeth said. “It’s a chance to dress however you want — do nail polish for the first time. Wear a dress for the first time. As Frank says in the movie, ‘Give yourself over to absolute pleasure.’ With us, you’ll be welcomed; you’ll be loved.”
CAF has been around since 2002, founded by brothers T.J. and Jody Carter, then called Back Row Productions. It’s morphed over the years, with Elizabeth taking over as the group’s leader in 2020,
and establishing CAF’s nonprofit 501(c)(3) status this year. CAF is currently expanding its offerings — for example, this year it debuted a shadowcast performance of The Princess Bride, and Elizabeth said CAF is in talks to perform The Room with actor Greg Sestero as a special guest.
“Usually at a play or a movie, you have to be quiet, in your seats, and clap at the right time. That is not the case here,” Elizabeth said. “We want our audience to be yelling at us, making us laugh, interacting with us… It’s a chance to step outside of your world for a night and be a part of Transylvania.”

Get scared: Boone Hall Fright Night
It’s hard to remember a fall in Charleston when Boone Hall’s towering castle couldn’t be seen from U.S. Highway 17 in Mount Pleasant, signaling the start of the annual Fright Night attractions. In 2019, S.C. event production company Live Productions, led by Ryan Neal, took over this event that’s been around since 2004. Neal said it continues to grow every year in its attendance, technology and ability to scare.
“We’ve built on what was already a great foundation, and I think we’ve done a good

job of taking those things to the next level and listening to guest feedback each and every year,” Neal said. He explained how the Fright Night crew makes new attractions each year from the ground up, starting one year in advance from the event.
This year sees three attractions: the intense haunted house “Ward 8,” the haunted hayride “Fallout,” and “Phobia,” a 20,000-square-foot indoor-outdoor walk through journey through all of the things that people fear — from the dark, to snakes, spiders, death and clowns. The attractions employ a tech crew of about 60 people and more than 160 live actors.
One of those actors has played Tiny the Clown since 2014. Tiny, who wouldn’t reveal his real name, said Fright Night, and getting scared in general, offers folks a safe, controlled adrenaline rush.
“Some people skydive, other people love roller coasters — I think that’s what people are really looking for. Of course, it’s always fun when you bring a friend that absolutely does not want to be there, and then they’re the person that’s freaking out and gets talked about at Waffle House later that night,” he laughed. “I really just want people to come and have fun. Whether we’re scaring you or not, as long as you leave and you’re like, that was fun. We did our jobs.”

Aliens
invade: Nightmare at the Navy
There’s a new haunted attraction debuting this year in North Charleston — Nightmare at the Navy. It’s produced by Big Hair Events, led by David “Big Hair” Brisacher, who used to run the now-defunct (but stilltalked-about) Skinful Halloween festival. The new family-friendly attraction is a transformation of the Old Navy Yard into an Area 51- inspired alien playground, complete with interactive lasers and projections by local artist Lazer Catcher. Plus, there’s an interactive maze.
“It’s a fully immersive experience of aliens taking over the Navy Yard,” Brisacher said.
“You actually get these laser guns where you’re shooting the aliens and actors. There’s animatronics and all these crazy special effects. Then, a golf cart ride takes you around the Naval infirmary and mental hospital, which is already one of the scariest, most creepy-looking buildings in Charleston.”
The event is great for all ages, he added, with a bar for the adults, and it raises funds for the Livity Foundation. It’s the first event in what will become a cultural arts center at the Navy Yard, called Building 64, which will soon host the return of the Kulture Klash arts festival on Nov. 16.

Chilling romance and dark allure in Dracula
Bram Stoker’s Dracula enjoys an adaptation en-pointe from the Palmetto City Ballet at the Sottile Theatre, a full-length ballet which artistic director Jonathan Tabbert said is “highly romantic and passionate.”
Set against a backdrop of haunting and beautiful sets, this performance brings to life the dark allure of Stoker’s Count Dracula. With a mesmerizing score by Giuseppe Verdi and Bela Bartok and original choreography, “each movement draws you deeper into a gothic world of mystery, passion and suspense,” Tabbert shared. “It is very much based on the original tale — there’s definitely eerie and spooky vibes, but it also involves the relationships that Dracula creates since he has the power to choose who he wants. It’s not just about the horror aspect; this story is so much deeper than that.”
Tabbert is especially excited about the Victorian Gothic costuming that the dancers will wear, and encourages that

Check
out a ghost tour
Ghost tours are perfect for Halloween in a city considered one of the most haunted destinations in America. According to John LaVerne, the owner of Bulldog Tours, it makes sense when you consider our history.
“Over the 350-some years of Charleston, we’ve had a lot of tragedies — from the Revolutionary War, Civil War, five major fires, earthquakes, hurricanes — a lot of people have died on our soil. From a common-sense approach as to why Charleston would be haunted, these tragedies are what it boils down to. When people die unexpectedly, they often have unfinished business left here on Earth, and their ghosts are keen to interact with humans, as I’ve experienced firsthand countless times.”
He founded his company Bulldog Tours in 2001 in an effort to not only share spooky stories, but also to help preserve historical sites. Bulldog has partnered to be the exclusive tour company for the Old Jail, the Provost dungeon, the graveyard at

Cuisine
La Cave celebrates the South of France
By Connelly Hardaway
Good things come to those who wait … to open restaurants in the city of Charleston months behind their projected debut date. That’s how the saying goes, right?
Back in March, the Charleston City Paper talked to Félix Landrum, owner of Félix Cocktails et Cuisine, about his second project, La Cave (pronounced “La-Cahv”), when it was originally slated to open.
Seven months later, La Cave, an elevated sipping lounge and salon privé inspired by the South of France, has an opening date, Oct. 17.
While delayed openings are nothing new in Charleston, they remain deeply frustrating to business owners who have to navigate city permits and ever-expanding budgets and adjust their timelines accordingly.
“You’ve got to figure out where you are getting that funding, and how are you working it out,” Landrum said about opening a new restaurant. “And, you know, you’re really putting your head on the chopping block, and you’re taking a chance.”
Despite the delays, he feels pretty confident about La Cave.
“I feel really good about this project
A la carte
What’s new
because of the success of Félix,” Landrum said. “We are very, very blessed.”
Give people what they want
While Félix is meant to evoke a buzzy Parisian cafe, La Cave is its softer sister, with natural wood finishes and exposed stone walls designed by Landrum’s wife, Leslie. Initially, he intended for guests to enter La Cave through Félix (his landlord allowed him to knock down a wall between the two restaurants) passing under an arched ceiling that feels quite, well, cave-like.
Guests can still enter the new space through the small hallway, but there’s a separate entrance on King Street, too.
“As we started putting paper up, there was a lot of interest and people were really excited,” Landrum said of interest in La Cave’s initial construction phases from passersby. “I realized the value of that front door on King Street.”
Landrum is pretty skilled at recognizing the value of spaces on King Street. When he opened Félix at number 550 in 2017, that portion of upper King, north of Cannon Street, was not the bustling area it is today.
“I took out a home equity loan on my house in Michigan to put money down on the [Félix] space, and I didn’t know how we were going to get it built,” he said. “We got it built. We got going.”
Today, Félix has a loyal following and Landrum said it occurred to him, when he had to start turning customers away at the door, that he should open a second space. He said he also often gets requests for private events at Félix, which he generally
cannot accommodate.
La Cave features a semi-private dining room that can be concealed with drapery and potted olive trees, ideal for special events. The space also includes a 12-seat bar, couches and banquettes, and is designed for those looking for anything from a pre-dinner cocktail to a full meal consisting of small plates.
“What I tried to do is create different nooks of cozy where people could come,” Landrum said. “They could have conversations, they could hang out, they could sip their drinks, they could snack, they could wait to go next door or [not] … This is the destination.”
Diners can look forward to small plates like a petit crab roll with lump crab cake topped with jalapeño-leek aïoli and pickled red onions that is served on a sized-down sesame bun; raw bar offerings ranging from oysters to crudo to caviar service; and roasted prawns with coriander, piquillo pepper butter and grilled lemon.
The cocktail menu won’t be as extensive as Félix’s (which has more than 20 choices), but it will still focus on detailed, craft creations. Order the Martini de Luxe, made with fromage washed vodka, saline and Lillet Blancand get a caviar crisp on the side.
And while the special details level-up the experience for Landrum and future diners, he said that he wants La Cave to be a regular stop for people, too.
“There are a bunch of things on the menu that you don’t have to spend an arm and a leg for,” he said. “I think that’s really important because, you know, you want people to feel like this is a place they can come all the time, not just for special occasions.”
Legami, a new, contemporary Italian restaurant, opened at 492 King St. this week. Executive chef Andrea Congiusta, group chef of Washington Street Hospitality, will be cooking up shareable dishes and homemade pastas inspired by the team’s collective upbringings in Torino and Rome. Legami promises a “playful” cocktail menu, developed by James Ruggiero, and an Italian-leaning wine program. The restaurant will be open for dinner starting at 4 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday. The upstairs lounge will also be open for “late nights” on Fridays and Saturdays. Learn more at legamichs.com. The Harlow recently launched a new happy hour. Head to the James Island eatery from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday for $2 off draft beer and frozen drinks, $8 cocktail of the day and $5 sangria. Nosh on $2 select raw oysters, $10 fried oysters, $8 fish bites and $6 loaded tots.
What’s happening
Local organizations Meet Us on the Frontlines, Yoloha Yoga and Charles Towne Fermentory will host a fundraiser, The Long Haul: Hope After Helene, at the Fermentory’s new James Island location from 10 a.m. to noon, Oct. 19. Tickets ($25) include a yoga and movement session and music. Food will be available for purchase from local food trucks. All proceeds will benefit Helpmate, a domestic violence shelter in North Carolina’s Asheville Dream Center, a resource hub providing localized disaster relief in one of the hardest-hit areas, Burnsville. Learn more at meetusonthefrontlines.com/ hopeafterhelene.
What we’ll miss
Bar Rollins, the popular Jackson Street wine bar, last week announced Oct. 27 would be its final day of business. Owner Chris Rollins thanked the Bar Rollins team and loyal customers for the spot’s success, saying “we are looking for the next space” and that “Bar Rollins 2 0 [is] coming soon.” Connelly Hardaway

Culture
Charleston Stage’s Purlie Victorious, plays what it
By Maura Hogan
It might seem incongruous to coax comedy from the Jim Crow-era South. Decades after gaining their freedom, Black Americans continued to confront seemingly insurmountable inequities. In so many ways, life on the plantation abided with all its inequities.
But then there was Ossie Davis. Throughout his career, the actor, director and playwright from rural Georgia helped elevate the status of the Black dramatic artist from Broadway roles to television shows. And somehow, with all his obstacles, the celebrated civil rights activist was also able to take a wry view of some of the country’s enduring bad behavior.
After all, humankind behaving badly has long been prime terrain for satire. And in 1961 when his play Purlie Victorious: A Non-Confederate Romp Through the Cotton Patch ascended to the Broadway stage of the Cort Theater (now the James Earl Jones Theatre), it was known to prompt a chuckle from civil rights icons like the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X. In 2023, the play returned to Broadway in an acclaimed revival starring Leslie Odom Jr. in the title role. As a Georgia preacher in search of a permanent pulpit, Purlie devises his own workarounds when a deck is stacked decidedly against him and his people. Now, Charleston Stage brings the work
preaches
to the Dock Street Theatre in a buoyant, bright new production directed by Henry Clay Middleton, a staple with the company. It will play there through Oct. 27.
Frederick Webb Jr. assumes the role of the wily man of the cloth who plots to wrangle back an inheritance after a cotton plantation owner, Ol’ Cap’n Cotchipee (Thomas Keating), snatches it from his expectant hands. His aim is nothing short of heaven sent, as he’ll use the money to reinvigorate Big Bethel Church, the sacred ground where his grandfather once preached.
To do so, he must first get up to a bit of chicanery, transforming the unsuspecting Lutiebelle Gussie Mae Jenkins (Facia Lee) to assume the identity of Bee, the rightful heir to the $500 fortune. That also brings in other members of the plantation, including Purlie’s brother Gitlow (Eddie Weaver); his wife Missy (Shanna Hastie); Cotchipee’s idealistic son Charlie (Sam Majors); and the all-knowing cook Idella (Letty Richey).
And so it goes down on the plantation, with plenty of oh-no-they-didn’t observations voiced by Purlie’s Black co-conspirators on navigating a White world. Those include how much fun it is to be Black when nobody’s looking, how much better they get along with White folks’ children than their own parents do, and how “the South is split like a fat man’s underwear.”
As identities are mistaken, and the bad guys look to get theirs, Purlie Victorious is
Arts, etc.

the romp it promises to be, with markedly good-natured mirth that goes down easy. Charleston Stage’s ensemble inhabits the work well, with Frederick Webb Jr. leading the charge with preacherly charisma, while showing how he stoops to conquer. Facia Lee serves up fetching guilelessness as the sweet Lutiebelle, mooning over Purlie while awkwardly putting on the requisite airs to fill the fancy new frock needed to assume her new identity.
As Gitlow, Eddie Weaver seizes every chance to make humorous hay from a sycophantic yes man. Letty Richey similarly holds her own as the all-seeing cook. And Thomas Keating breathes pitch-perfect buffoonery into the appalling Ol’ Cap’n Cotchipee, a character that may well resonate with those presently monitoring media coverage of a modern-day oaf or two grasping tight to power and privilege.
All in all, Purlie Victorious takes its satirical swipes, but its barbs don’t cut terribly deep. It wades agreeably into this nation’s fraught terrain, as if it were a temperate Georgia pond. A gently farcical foray into upending ossified social orders, that approach perhaps helped vouchsafe its debut Broadway run. In his sly confrontation, maybe Davis was channeling his own creation of Purlie, deploying considerable wits and smiling sleight of hand to land his Times Square pulpit. So to Ossie, and this solid new production, I say “Preach.”

Judah & the Lion bring The Process to The Refinery
By Graham Crolley
When it came time for folk rock band Judah & the Lion to write a follow-up to its 2022 album Revival, the last thing frontman and songwriter Judah Akers wanted to write about was what he was going through.
Given that the Nashville-based musician was navigating a divorce and the loss of close family members to suicide, not wanting to revisit that pain seemed totally natural.
“I was having a hard time figuring out how to write about my divorce and also honor my ex, honor more than just the loss of the divorce, and honor the grief I’ve had in my life,” Akers said in a Zoom interview with mandolinist and co-songwriter Brian Macdonald.
It wasn’t until Macdonald suggested Akers write about his struggles by using the Kübler-Ross five stages of grief that the writing process for the 2024 album The Process — and Akers’ healing process — could begin in earnest.
“Sometimes you’re the one going through the grief,” Macdonald said, “and sometimes you’re the friend who is watching your friend experience that grieving process. That was me for this album. Getting to be there and be vulnerable with Judah as we crafted how we wanted to portray that process for him and for our band was definitely an honor.”
You’ve probably heard of the KüblerRoss stages of grief before — denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance.
But with The Process, released in May, the band takes the model and runs with it, unashamedly baring the good, the bad and the angry for all to see across five sections and 24 tracks. Each section kicks off with an instrumental named for a stage of grief before inviting listeners into a deeply personal narrative set to a genre-bending soundtrack. The band’s forays into reverbheavy synth-pop, hip-hop-inspired beats and flows, melancholic acoustic ballads and distorted guitar romps speak to the group’s sense of constant experimentation, all the while consistently keeping their vibe grounded in the signature banjoand-mandolin Americana foundation that
started it all for them.
The Process is the sound of a band having fun figuring out how to make it through grieving in one piece. As it turns out, the emotions on this release, from frustration to joy, are infectious in the best of ways.
Connecting with fans
“It was definitely a rewarding record to make,” Macdonald said. “We really put our heart into it. The stories that we’ve gotten back from fans are incredible already.”
Akers agreed, touching on how meaningful the live connection with fans has been on this tour.
“The people that are coming really want to be there, it feels like,” he said. “With the content of this record being very deeply personal and kind of heavy and heady at times, I’ve been thankfully surprised by how well the new songs are going.”
One such song is “Floating in the Night,” a dark and brooding meditation from the Anger section on the album that sees Akers reflecting on the difficulty of accepting intense emotions in the wake of loss. “It feels like this big release for the audience which is really cool. We’re just trying to get out there and essentially make people feel less alone. ”
It’s a paradox with which the band is familiar: It seems the more personal and specific the lyrics are, the more listeners identify with the songs. From the candid descriptions of depression that start the album in “Denial,” to the reckless, sing-
through-the-pain scenes detailed in “New Tattoo” and “Son of a Gun,” to selling an ex’s old belongings in “Starting Over,” and to finally finding some semblance of meaning in the suffering in “Long Dark Night” — It’s six feet deep where you got to go/To come alive — the album is so honest it’s hard not to identify with the feelings, no matter what experience you’re bringing to the table.
“It wasn’t holding back any punches,” said Akers of the album’s honesty. “I think it’s our job as artists to dig up the things in ourselves that we don’t like, to dig up the things in our story that we don’t want to go back and face. There has been a depth of trying to be honest with ourselves first and to be able to move forward. We’re always trying to point people to hope and moving forward, regardless of that anger. There is a reason to move forward in life and not give up.”
But Akers is quick to point out acceptance isn’t some fantasy land of perpetual sunshine and rainbows. Accepting yourself can be a lifelong task — but it’s all a part of the process.
“Looking back at it, I think The Process isn’t about getting to acceptance and thinking that you have everything put together. I think it’s about learning to hold those things … being able to hold that depression, hold that anger, that denial in yourself and move forward regardless. That’s about as honest as you can get with yourself.”

ARIES (March 21-April 19): As a young adult, I lived in a shack in the North Carolina woods. I was too indigent to buy a car or bicycle, so I walked everywhere I needed to go. Out of necessity, I discovered the practical power of psychic protection. I envisioned myself being surrounded by an impenetrable violet force field and accompanied by the guardian spirits of a panther, wolf and bear. This playful mystical practice kept me safe. Though I was regularly approached by growling dogs and drunk thugs in pickup trucks, I was never attacked. Now would be an excellent time for you to do what I did: put strong psychic protection in place. You’re not in physical danger, but now is a good time to start shielding yourself better against people’s manipulative gambits, bad moods, emotional immaturity and careless violations.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “Dear Rob: I once heard you say that the best method for solving any dilemma is to sit silently, calm my mind and listen for the ‘still, small voice of the teacher within me.’ I have tried your advice, but I have never detected this voice. What am I doing wrong? — Deprived Taurus.” Dear Taurus: Here’s how to become available for guidance from the still, small voice of your inner teacher. 1. Go someplace quiet, either in nature or a beloved sanctuary. 2. Shed all your ideas and theories about the nature of your dilemma. 3. Tenderly ask your mind to be empty and serene as you await an intuition. 4. Feel sweet gratitude for each breath as you inhale and exhale. 5. Visualize your inner teacher smiling. 6. Make yourself expectant to receive an insightful blessing.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In the parlance of people who love to trek in natural places, a “cobbknocker” refers to a hiker who precedes you and knocks down the spider webs crossing the trail. I would love for you to procure a similar service for all your adventures in the coming weeks, not just hiking. See if you can coax or hire helpers to clear a path for you in everything you do. I want you to be able to concentrate on the essentials and not get bogged down or distracted by trivial obstructions. You need spaciousness and ease.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): When you are at your Cancerian best, you nurture others but don’t smother them with excessive care. You give your gifts without undermining your own interests. You are deeply receptive and sensitive without opening yourself to be abused or wounded. In my astrological estimation, you are currently expressing these qualities with maximum grace and precision. Congratulations on your ever-ripening emotional intelligence! I trust you will be rewarded with grateful favors.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Here’s the deal that life is offering: You temporarily suspend your drive to possess crystalline certainty, and you agree to love and thrive on ambiguity and paradox. In return, you will be given help in identifying unconscious and hidden factors at work in your destiny. You will be empowered to make confident decisions without needing them to be perfect. And you will learn more about the wise art of feeling appreciative reverence for great mysteries.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I once had a Virgo girlfriend. She was talented, hardworking, meticulous, organized, health-conscious and resourceful. She also hated it if I neglected to put the jar of honey back in the cupboard immediately after using it. She would get upset if I neglected to remove my shoes as soon as I entered the house. Her fussy perfectionism wasn’t the reason we ultimately broke up, but it did take a toll on me. I bring this to your attention because I hope you will mostly keep fussy perfectionism to yourself in the coming weeks. It’s fine if you want to indulge it while alone and doing your own work, but don’t demand that others be equally fastidious. Providing this leeway now will serve you well in the long run. You can earn slack and generate good will that comes in handy when you least expect it.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your bulboid corpuscles are specialized nerve cells in your skin that
can experience intense tactile pleasure — more so than any other nerve cells. They are located in your lips, tongue, and genitals. According to my analysis of your astrological potentials, these ultra-sensitive receptors will be turned on extra high in the coming weeks. So will their metaphysical and metaphorical equivalents. That’s why I predict you will gather in more bliss than you have in a long time. Please give yourself permission to exceed your usual quota.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Once upon a time, you were more hazardous to yourself than you are now. I’m pleased about the progress you have made to treat yourself with greater care and compassion. It hasn’t been easy. You had to learn mysterious secrets about dealing with your inner troublemaker. You had to figure out how to channel its efforts into generating benevolent and healing trouble. There’s still more work to be done, though. Your inner troublemaker isn’t completely redeemed and reformed. But you now have a chance to bring it more fully into its destined role as your ally and helper.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I predict that your past will soon transform. You may discover new details about old events. Stories you have told and told about your history will acquire new meanings. You will be wise to reinterpret certain plot twists you thought you had figured out long ago. There may not be anything as radical as uncovering wild secrets about your true origins — although I wouldn’t discount that possibility. So expect a surprise or two, Sagittarius. But I suspect you will ultimately be pleased to revise your theories about how you came to be the resilient soul you are now.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Of all the astrological signs, Capricorns are least likely to consult horoscopes. There are many skeptical people among your tribe who say, “Astrology is irrational and illogical. It can’t be precise and accurate, so it’s not even real.” My personal research also suggests, however, that a surprising percentage of Capricorns pretend not to be drawn to astrology even though they actually are. They may even hide their interest from others. How do I feel about all this? It doesn’t affect me as I compose your oracles. I love you as much as the other signs, and I always give you my best effort. Now I suggest that in the coming weeks, you do what I do: Give your utmost in every situation, even if some people are resistant to or doubtful of your contributions. Be confident as you offer your excellence.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You are ready to graduate to a higher octave of maturity and wisdom about everything related to love, romance and sex. It will be instructive to meditate on your previous experiences. So I invite you to ruminate on the following questions. 1. What important lessons have you learned about the kind of togetherness you want? 2. What important lessons have you learned about the kind of togetherness you don’t want? 3. What important lessons have you learned about how to keep yourself emotionally healthy while in an intimate relationship?
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Are you longing to feel safe, cozy and unperturbable? Are you fantasizing about how perfect life would be if you could seal yourself inside your comfort zone and avoid novelty and change for a while? I hope not, Pisces! By my astrological reckoning, you are due for a phase of experimentation and expansion. You will thrive on the challenges of big riddles and intriguing teases. Please take full advantage of this fun opportunity to hone your intuition and move way beyond random guesswork. For extra credit: Prove the theory that it’s very possible to cultivate and attract good luck. Homework: Is it time to rest in one area of your life as you work harder in another area?
