Charleston voters give big ‘NO’ to local sales tax referendum

By Skyler Baldwin

Charleston County voters sent a solid “NO” message Tuesday to Charleston County Council on its request to extend a half-cent sales tax to raise billions for road and other projects.

“This is a huge grassroots victory of big importance,” Republican County Council member Larry Kobrovsky told the Charleston City Paper Wednesday morning. “It shows you can fight back against City Hall — or, in this case, County Hall — for what you love and for fiscal responsibility, and win. Any fairminded person looking objectively would have to see this is all about I-526 and trying to ram stuff down with it.”

The first ballot question, which would have implemented the tax, was rejected by 127,385 people (61.4%) out of the slightly more than 200,000 who voted. The second ballot question, which would have approved issuing $1 billion in general obligation bonds to the county, was rejected by 120,256 voters (59%) out of the 200,000 who voted.

The referendum was rejected by every precinct on James and Johns islands, where

roughly half of the funds from the referendum (about $2.3 billion) would’ve gone to the extension of I-526, including more than $600 million to pay interest costs on a taxbacked loan worth $1.8 billion.

“The Coastal Conservation League is proud of voters who stood up for our environment, community and future by voting down the unbalanced and unfair 2024 special sales and use tax,” Coastal Conservation League Executive Director Faith James Rivers said in a Tuesday night statement.

What happened Tuesday

The reason for the decisive rejection: a vague question and a shady track record, according to opponents.

The new tax would have paid for millions of dollars of work that was supposed to be covered by a referendum passed in 2016. About 5% of all the new tax’s revenue, or $282,223,000, would go toward “carryover projects” from that previous tax. Not only that, but the vast majority of the funds, about $1.7 billion, were marked for the controversial Mark Clark extension.

“Charleston County voters deserve to make informed choices when they head to the polls. They should not be forced into an all-or-nothing decision,” James said in a previous report. “Voters deserve the right to vote for preferred needed improve-

ments — like Greenbelt and CARTA funds — without being forced to support the destructive and unnecessary Mark Clark extension as the priority project.”

Kobrovsky, who represents the East Cooper area, added that there was no guarantee all of the projects funded by the new sales tax would be built, either, adding to the uncertainty of the measure.

“You have to be transparent, humble and lay it all out there,” he said. “If you lose that good faith, you deserve to be beaten.”

Kobrovsky said by all accounts, the rejection should be the end of the massive push for fundraising for I-526.

“I have to think that the depth and the breadth of the opposition will give them pause,” he said.

Camacho named chief of North Charleston police

North Charleston Mayor Reggie Burgess on Tuesday announced the appointment of veteran Pennsylvania lawman Ron Camacho as the new chief of the city’s police department.

Camacho brings nearly three decades of law enforcement experience, including 16 years in “key leadership roles,” such as the police chief for the Chambersburg Police Department in Pennsylvania, Burgess said. Camacho was picked from six finalists, who were narrowed down from an original panel of 34.

“Camacho has an exceptional track record that uniquely qualifies him to lead our police department forward,” Burgess said. “[His] innovative approach to law enforcement, as seen in his pioneering Officer Wellness Program and Citizen Advisory Committee, exemplifies the kind of forward-thinking leadership we need in North Charleston.”

School board to reshuffle; new sheriff in town

By Skyler Baldwin

The Charleston County School District Board of Trustees will have three new faces after Tuesday’s elections. But the balance of power does not appear to have shifted after two years of being dominated by a majority faction of trustees backed by right-wing political group Moms for Liberty (M4L)

Incumbent Ed Kelley, a M4L-backed board member, lost his District 2 seat in the East Cooper area to challenger Carolina Jewett after his term was embroiled in several controversies.

Jewett secured 11,889 votes (56.9%); Kelley received 8,990 (43.1%).

“Ultimately, these positions should not be political in any way,” Jewett said in an Oct. 14 report. “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. That just doesn’t belong in the classroom, and it’s going to really hurt our school system.”

In North Charleston’s District 4, voters elected former board trustee Kevin Hollinshead to take over for Courtney Waters, who did not run for reelection. Hollinshead secured 3,873 votes (53.9%), edging out his opponent, Craig Logan, who received 3,310 votes (46.1%).

In the western part of the county in District 6, however, Daron Lee Calhoun II lost his seat to Michele Leber, wife of Republican state Rep. Matt Leber, who coincidentally won a state Senate seat. Michelle Leber received 6,392 votes (48.7%), while Calhoun got 4,879 votes (37.2%). Samuel Whatley II trailed behind with 1,857 votes (14.1%). School board races don’t have runoffs. Finally, incumbent Darlene DunmeyerRoberson won her bid for reelection in the Hollywood-Ravenel area in District 8. She received 8,672 votes (46.2%). Runner-up Michelle Faust received 7,043 votes (37.5%), and Charles Glover received

3,049 votes (16.2%).

School board members serve four-year terms. In 2026, five seats will be up for consideration.

GOP’s Ritchie elected to be new sheriff

In a high-profile county race, former Mount Pleasant Police Chief Carl Ritchie edged incumbent Democrat Kristin Garaziano by a 2.7% margin. Ritchie, a Republican, garnered 106,614 votes (51%) to Graziano’s 101,043 votes (48.3%).

Other Charleston County races of note:

9th Circuit Solicitor (Berkeley and Charleston counties): Scarlett Wilson (Republican, incumbent): 181,548 (57.2%); David Osborne (Democrat): 135,605 (42.7%).

Charleston County Council, District 3:

Rob Wehrman (Democrat, incumbent): 10,781 votes (55.9%); Hayden Seignious (Republican): 8,494 votes (44.1%).

Charleston County Council, District 4: Henry Darby (Democrat, incumbent): 11,127 votes. Uncontested.

Charleston County Council, District 6: Kylon Middleton (Democrat, incumbent): 15,243 votes. Uncontested.

Charleston County Council, District 7: Brantley Moody (Republican, incumbent): 12,902 votes (55.1%); Sydney Van Bulck (Democrat): 10,515 votes (44.9%).

Charleston County Coroner: Bobbi Jo O’Neal (Republican, incumbent): 111,490 votes (54.2%); Frank Broccolo (Democrat): 94,182 votes (45.8%).

Charleston County Treasurer: Mary Tinkler (Democrat, incumbent): 109,632 votes (53%); Mike Van Horn Sr. (Republican): 97,163 votes (47%).

Uncontested Charleston County elections included:

Clerk of Court: Julie Armstrong, 146,705 votes.

Auditor: Peter Tecklenburg, 143,710 votes.

As of 9 a.m. Nov. 6, according to the South Carolina Election Commission, all of the county’s precincts were reporting. For full results, visit scvotes.gov.

S.C. stays ruby red with GOP wins up and down the ballot

By Jack O’Toole

After a long and often bitter year of bruising partisan combat, South Carolinians overwhelmingly voted to stay the conservative course Tuesday, handing Republican candidates decisive victories in federal and state races up and down the ballot.

With 96% of the statewide vote in, former GOP President Donald Trump won the state 58%-40% over Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris on his way to a national victory in the presidential race. Trump nabbed almost 1.5 million votes in the Palmetto State — over 400,000 more votes than Harris tallied. In 2020, Trump beat President Joe Biden in South Carolina voting by a narrower 12% margin.

“Democrats tried everything to stop President Trump,” SCGOP Chairman Drew McKissick said in a statement. “The American People saw through the lies and decided to put our country back into the hands of a real leader, President Donald J. Trump.”

Also winning easily statewide was a oneword change to the state constitution clarifying that “only” citizens can vote in S.C. elections, which voters supported 86%-14%.

In the Lowcountry’s 1st Congressional District, two-term GOP incumbent U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace got more than 227,000 votes to cruise to a 58%-42% win over Democratic challenger Michael B. Moore. In other congressional races around the state, Republican incumbent U.S. Reps. Joe Wilson (S.C.-2), William Timmons (S.C.4), Ralph Norman (S.C.-5) and Russell Fry (S.C.-7) were all reelected by double digits — as was veteran Democratic U.S. Rep. Jim Clyburn of the 6th district. In the state’s 3rd district in the northwest part of the state, Republican Sheri Biggs defeated Democrat Byron L. Best 71%-26% to replace retiring GOP Rep. Jeff Duncan. Mace, whose seat was once thought to be the most competitive in the state, said it was time to “get back to work” in a victory statement.

“When I think about the world my children will inherit, I aim to be a giant, standing tall to inspire the next generation to do more than any of us could ever imagine,” Mace said. “While I will seek common ground, I will never compromise my values or my duty to the people of South Carolina.”

GOP supermajorities in S.C. House and Senate

As voting began Tuesday, Republicans held a supermajority — that is, enough votes to pass special legislation requiring a twothirds majority — in the S.C. House, but were one vote shy in the Senate.

After voting was over, the GOP had supermajorities in both chambers.

In the House, Republicans successfully defended the three long-time Democratic seats they picked up in 2022, which Democrats wanted to flip back.

But the real action was in the Senate, where four once-secure blue seats turned red, though two of those victories were close enough to trigger automatic recounts before certification later this week.

In District 36, Republican Jeff Zell defeated Clarendon County Democratic Sen. Kevin Johnson 51%-49%, while in District 39, Republican Tom Fernandez defeated Orangeburg County Democratic Sen. Vernon Stephens 51%-49%.

The two races that will require recounts are Republican J.D. Chaplin’s 287 vote victory over Darlington County Democratic Sen. Gerald Malloy in District 29, and a 32-vote win by Republican challenger Everett Stubbs over Fairfield County Democratic Sen. Mike Fanning in District 17.

Local legislative races

In Charleston-area state legislative races:

Democratic candidate Ed Sutton defeated Libertarian Kendal Ludden 73%-26% in the newly-drawn Senate 20 centered on West Ashley.

Republican S.C. Rep. Matt Leber beat Democratic candidate Rita Adkins 57%-42% to win the Senate seat in District 41.

Incumbent Senate 43 GOP Sen. Chip Campsen beat back a challenge by Democratic candidate Julie Cofer Hussey 61%-39%.

Incumbent House 15 Democratic Rep. J.A. Moore defeated Republican challenger Carlton Walker 56%-44%.

House 80 Republican Rep. Kathy Landing retained her seat over Democratic challenger Donna Brown Newton 65%-35%.

House 110 GOP Rep. Tom Hartnett beat Democratic challenger John Moffett 56%-44%.

Incumbent House 112 Republican Rep. Joe Bustos defeated Democratic candidate Peter Brennan 61%-39%.

Longtime House 111 Democratic Rep. Wendell Gilliard defeated Libertarian Joe Jernigan 83%-17%.

House 114 GOP Rep. Gary Brewer beat Democratic candidate Adrienne Lett 61%-39%.

Incumbent House 115 Democratic Rep. Spencer Wetmore won over Republican J. Warren Sloane by a 52%48% margin.

Newcomer House 116 Republican James Teeple defeated Democratic candidate Charlie Murray by a two-point margin to replace Leber.

Longtime Democratic incumbent Leon Stavrinakis of House 119 beat GOP challenger Brendan R. Magee 55%-45%.

Blotter of the Week

A West Ashley man on Nov. 1 reportedly attempted to steal two boxes of ammunition from a local gun store. When store employees confronted him, police said he attempted to flee, dropping the ammunition, as well as two gift cards and his S.C. driver’s license. The whole thing couldn’t have gone any worse if he had tried.

So close

A North Charleston man on Nov. 3 reportedly pulled into a Remount Road parking lot, but accelerated instead of braking when parking, ultimately ramming his car into the side of a pharmacy. Police said the man went inside to inform the manager of what happened, but then left the scene. Wow, what a roller coaster of almost doing the right thing.

Off balance

An apparently drunken Mount Pleasant man on Oct. 30 was asked to leave a Shadow Drive business, but couldn’t remain on his feet without falling long enough to exit. Police noted the man fell over three separate times while attempting to leave. Officers eventually arrested him, as his plan was to ride his bike home. Yeah, that wasn’t going to happen.

Fight the dimming of American democracy Views

The United States got off the path of freedom and opportunity on Tuesday with the reelection of Donald Trump for a second term as president.

A slim majority in swing states, captivated by his cult of personality, empty promises, isolationism, fear, racism and stream-of-narcissistic blathering, tapped Trump the felon to lead the nation for the next four years. It may become a new reckless governing experiment.

Tuesday’s election will be remembered as a sad day for America — a day the country’s bipartisan legacy of moving forward shifted backward to how things were in the past.

And for many — particularly the young, infirm, poor and immigrants — the next four years will be scary. Trump’s threats of authoritarianism, inward-turning policies, lies and retribution will continue to cause chaos across the nation. Trump is a narcissist, not a healer-in-chief, as he showed in his first term with poor management of the Covid-19 pandemic.

In fact, the 2024 election of Donald Trump and his congressional allies must have the Founding Fathers reeling. And veterans who died for freedom on battlefields across the world must be gobsmacked with tears in their eyes. The cause they championed — ensuring freedom to empower all Americans to have seemingly limitless opportunities in our republic — is less certain because of what’s likely to come out of a

Washington dominated by the seething, MAGA-fueled GOP cult of Trump.

Among domestic questions: Will punitive tariffs cause everyday Americans to pay thousands of dollars more per year for imported goods, as economists predict? Will the GOP limit reproductive health care even more? Will Social Security face cuts? Are mass deportations of immigrants on the horizon? These would not be questions had Tuesday’s outcome been different.

But the questions don’t stop at the border. Will America’s allies, disappointed in Tuesday’s results, pull away? Will the United States stop fueling freedom efforts by Ukranian patriots as they try to kick out Russian invaders? Will the country be drawn into a new global war? Will China retaliate somehow?

As tornadic as national politics are now, state and local political affairs should be less chaotic — at least until the impact of Trump’s new policies start trickling down.

As we swim through the churning waters of democracy over the next four years, we must use all of our constitutional powers — including the powers of the minority — to protect our freedoms so that we can kick out the bums in 2028. To do less is to dishonor almost 250 years of American leadership.

Democracy dimmed across America on Tuesday. Let’s keep pressing to keep the lights on during the next four years so we get back onto the real path of freedom.

CHARLESTON CHECKLIST

of community objectives

We encourage community leaders to act on these audacious priorities:

1. Deal with the water. Build a strong resiliency plan to harden 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.

Why newspapers endorse candidates

By Andy Brack

A retired reporter recently wrote something on social media that threw some for a loop:

“A lot of my friends, my true ones, are getting bent out of shape about major newspaper editorial boards choosing not to endorse presidential candidates. As an ex-newspaper guy and longtime fan of journalism and knowing what’s going on in the world, I kind of agree with the decisions not to endorse.”

To be clear, we wholeheartedly disagree. But let him continue:

“Editorial board endorsements of political candidates, particularly national ones, don’t mean crap, don’t move the needle and only serve to make editorial writers feel more important and powerful than they really are.”

Oh, my. As if editorial writers really feel they have any real power. What the good ones do feel, actually, has nothing to do with power. They feel an intense social responsibility to democracy and the need to keep it strong. Newspapers endorse candidates to give people unfettered opinions about which candidates in races will be most faithful to democratic ideals and be responsive to constituents — which will do a better job, based on past stories, insights gleaned from interviews and a look at candidate records.

Voters often don’t have time to scroll through pages of documents or mundane campaign position papers. But it’s necessary for good editors to fulfill their watchdog role as the Fourth Estate and keep politicians running for office honest. They need to make cogent arguments whether someone who has been in office for many years needs to stay or go. They need to call out a fascist when the jackboot fits. They need to analyze the political environment and share informed views on why one path for the state or nation is better than another.

Editorials matter. To fail to meet the social responsibility of endorsing candidates and giving cogent insights about what’s happening in the political world is to fail to give important tools to voters as they make judgments about which candidates to support. If we’ve heard it once, we’ve heard it countless times — voters saying they support a candidate, not the party. And while this does not seem to reflect reality for many voters, it does for discerning ones. The good thing about an editorial opinion is that a voter can ignore it. Just as they could — and should — ignore all of the misinformation, disinformation, lies, fake news and more that infects social media. In fact, the rise of social media is the primary culprit in America’s increasing polarization and tribalism. Listening to only one side of an argument is never a good thing in a democracy. And conflating viewpoints as if they are news is no better — the editorial page is specifically an opinion section, although more and more readers don’t seem to understand that. What is good for democracy is for informed information gatherers — editorial writers — to do their jobs, vetting candidates and calling it like they see it.

What is good for democracy is for informed information gatherers — editorial writers — to do their jobs, vetting candidates and calling it like they see it.

More newspapers need editorial pages. More newspapers need to endorse candidates, not fewer. More newspapers need to have courage, instead of losing it to the billionaire behemoths of private enterprise that now own outlets like The Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times Otherwise they will become less relevant by doing the very thing that they’re not supposed to do — muzzling themselves.

The Washington Post has made a big deal about how “democracy dies in darkness.” But after refusing to shine a bright light on the choice voters face in the 2024 presidential race, it might want to change its slogan to “The Washington Post dies in its own darkness.”

The City Paper Music Awards offers an annual opportunity to celebrate the best in local music. This year, CP readers voted for their favorite artists across genres including country, reggae, hip-hop, indie, metal and more. On Wednesday, Nov. 6, nominees and winners alike rocked the stage at the Best Dance Club in Charleston, the Commodore, for this year’s awards show.

SONG OF THE YEAR

‘Wifi Boyfriend’ by Babe Club

Founded by Jenna Desmond and Corey Campbell, Babe Club makes dreamy new wave pop tunes with existential and confessional lyrics. The Song of the Year, “WiFi Boyfriend,” is no exception. Babe Club made the song in collaboration with the Austin, Texas-based podcast “The Song Confessional,” where musicians turn anonymous stories into original songs. “I love being able to tap into other people’s stories — I can only write about my life in so many ways,” Desmond said. The song is about a teen keeping their non-binary identity secret from the world, except for one special more-than-a-friend, whom they were to meet in person for the first time soon. The resulting song hits as sweetly as the admission that inspired it:

I kinda think you’re more than just my best friend, you’re my boyfriend, boyfriend on the internet.

“In my songwriting, I gravitate towards lines that feel like conversation. I think it feels more authentic,” Desmond shared. The New York native got started in music around 2014, during her days at College of Charleston, first performing at open mics at King Dusko and then singing with Susto for three years. In 2017, she and Campbell started Babe Club, with Julius DeAngelis joining on drums not long after.

Fast forward to 2022 — Babe Club’s song “Lazy Lover” was featured in a Taco Bell commercial; then, in April 2024, Babe Club headlined the High Water Festival. Desmond, who is also working on a solo album, has been especially inspired lately by co-writing and working with other musicians. She’s looking to do more collaborating in 2025, and in fact, collaboration over competition is her biggest hope for the local music scene. “I would love to see more people coming together as songwriters, as session musicians, and producing music in a way that’s establishing the Charleston scene as a force … a rising tide lifts all boats.” Chloe Hogan

ELECTRONIC/EXPERIMENTAL ACT OF THE YEAR

Grandaddi Caddi

Moonkat Daddi is a Charleston artist, originally from Washington D.C. with roots in Holly Hill, S.C., who has evolved from a traditional emcee to a dynamic and unique performer. His music blends genres — from classic rock to trap, seamlessly integrating singing, rapping and spoken word, with influences ranging from Kanye West to Jim Morrison.

Grandaddi Caddi is a collaborative effort between Moonkat and his friend and fellow artist (also a 2024 CPMA winner) Slim S.O.U.L. Birthed from a newly formed friendship in 2023, Grandaddi Caddi takes the stage every Monday at the Charleston Pour House, plus performs regularly in area festivals and venues, like Royal American, Purple Buffalo and more.

Grandaddi Caddi offers a vibey live-looping experience that incorporates a bit of everything. “One of my favorite songs to play is my hip–hop rendition of ‘Landslide’ by Stevie Nicks,” Moonkat shared, explaining how he and Slim take songs that should not make sense together to create unexpected medleys.

“We use a lot of samples, so that we’re able to make original

music while still giving people a taste of things that they know and can connect with.”

Moonkat’s musical journey has taken him all over the country — from his start in a marching band in Washington D.C., to rapping in Colorado, to making music in Big Island, Hawaii, where he graced stages at festivals like Shangri-La and Arise Festival, to his experiences sharing “conscious music” as a protester at Standing Rock Indian Reservation in 2016.

“Conscious music is not about partying; it’s messages about love, peace, connection, community,” he shared. “I make music to make people feel good.” With that in mind, it makes sense that Grandaddi Caddi’s distinctive sound is aimed at connecting people through the universal language of music.

“I want to just keep furthering my craft as an emcee, as a piano player, as a beat maker, as a singer-songwriter,” Moonkat said. “The music scene in Charleston is very welcoming, and really diverse and inspiring. … I’m really grateful to have been welcomed into this scene.” —Chloe Hogan

HIP-HOP ACT OF THE YEAR STUDIO/PRODUCER OF THE YEAR

Slim S.o.u.l.

Slim S.O.U.L., aka Cody Dixon, wears many hats: he’s not only a hip–hop musician, producer and poet — he’s also the leader of the nonprofit Soul Power Productions, which brings its mission of arts advocacy and education to underserved areas. Dixon actually started his nonprofit as a project for his arts management class at College of Charleston in 2017, and seven years later, the project has blossomed into a full service recording studio, too.

“Providing a space for people to be able to create was the main motivation,” Dixon shared. He established S.O.U.L. Inn Studios to create a place for Charleston artists to rehearse and record. In some ways, it’s a continuation of the work Slim did in his CofC days, during which he threw lots of house shows that featured hip–hop artistry, having a big hand in helping the local hip hop scene to grow.

“Offering this kind of space for people at Soul Inn Studios at a reasonable cost was important to me, because that’s always been like a big need in the community — a place to put all the gear, a place to practice, a place for everybody to meet up and be able to explore creatively.”

As a musician, Dixon has opened and performed with artists like Shwayze, RA the

ALBUM OF THE YEAR

Rugged Man, Stop Light Observations, The Psycodelics and Little Bird, plus he loves to create collaborative experiences on stage.

“With hip–hop, unlike any other genre really, there’s a lot of beefing with each other. … For me, I always wanted to create a vibe of collaboration. Everybody has their own mental health things, especially artists, but having a community definitely helps …

“I always just wanted to build what I’m doing around less competition and more like, let’s work together.” The Florence native said giving back to the music community that’s shaped him was “always the goal.” Later this year, he’s dropping a new EP named for the acronym in his artistic moniker, Sounds of Universal Love.

Current by Danielle Howle

Danielle Howle is a lifelong artist who has released dozens of albums in a fourdecade career. She’s traversed genres, encompassing everything from folk, Southern rock, Americana and what she calls “country-swamp-blues” — all while exploring the depths of the human condition. Just last month, she was inducted into the Lowcountry Music Hall of Fame.

Howle said songwriting is her way of making sense of the world. “My songs are reporting on what I see. And sometimes that’s not popular. Sometimes that’s met with opposition. But I believe that we, as humans, have to speak our minds. I’m constantly in a beautiful struggle to be able to articulate what I’m seeing on the planet.” Though there’s so much lore to cover in telling Howle’s story — she started in the 80s as a part of Columbia–based new wave band, Lay Quiet Awhile, then led her own band before going solo and opening for legends like Bob Dylan and Bonnie Raitt — she’s focused right now on the tour of her 16th album, Current, released Nov. 3, 2023. She’s currently performing the album on stages locally, (including a Nov. 8 show at the Pour House,) then up the East Coast into Canada, and in 2025, South Africa.

Howle started work on Current in a cabin in Saluda, N.C., during the 2020 lockdown, a project that took three years to create and underscores what’s at the heart of Howle’s artistic vision: connection between humans and the environment.

“I feel like my songs are reminders that we’re not alone, and we’re part of something greater than ourselves, and there’s a responsibility there,” she said. “I still believe in the magic and the beauty of the earth, even though sometimes it’s a dirty place to be.”

COUNTRY/AMERICANA BAND OF THE YEAR

MUSIC VIDEO OF THE YEAR

Mike Martin & The Beautiful Mess

Mike Martin, the singer, songwriter and guitarist who fronts The Beautiful Mess, is happy to wear the country/Americana crown in this year’s CPMAs, even if some, or maybe most of his fans don’t actually think he’s a country artist.

“What surprises people is when I say I play country,” Martin said. “They usually say, ‘I don’t think of you as country at all,’ but I grew up listening to Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash; those are my biggest influences.”

Perhaps what those folks are thinking of when they hear the word “country” is the pop-oriented stuff that’s on the radio these days. But that’s where Martin makes the connection to the “Americana” part of the equation.

“Americana has become this cool, wider thing that

Martin and company also won the 2024 CPMA for Video of the Year for “Red Stripes and Rum.” Some music videos are high-concept, high-budget works of art that deal in metaphor and impressionistic imagery. The video for the down-to-earth tune “Red Stripes and Rum” is none of those things.

The video is as simple, and as fun, as it gets, with Martin and company on outdoor stages in front of smiling, dancing crowds enjoying the song’s distinct Jimmy Buffett–style country-reggae-rock vibe — which is fitting for a song that Martin wrote after a trip to Jamaica. —Vincent Harris

A short guide to starting a crystal collection

By Toni Reale, special to City Paper

If you’re anything like me whenever you spot an interesting rock, it’s destined to make its way into your pocket. I have clear glass jars filled with these found treasures, each one sparking memories of where it was discovered. My shop is filled with crystals and little signs with the science and the alchemy explained. When friends bring me rocks from their travels, I dive into the geology of their origins, adding another layer of meaning to each stone. As a trained geologist with a master’s degree, I have found it very hard to buy into the healing properties of crystals. My science mind just isn’t wired like that. What I do know from experience is that when you hold an intention and use something to symbolize that intention, things do happen. When you tie your mind to a desired outcome, there’s an energy exchange that opens you up to possibilities. I’ve developed a personal belief system around crystals, blending both scientific facts and a touch of mysticism. Rocks and minerals are shaped by intense processes — hydrothermal activity, heat and pressure — that leave their mark on each one down to its very chemical composition. In a way, their journey to existence is embedded, much like ours is in us. It’s a deeply personal practice, unique to each of us. As a friend who creates jewelry with crystals beautifully named her company, “Whatever Heals You.”

The science

the larger the crystal. Crystals can also form from water that is supersaturated in dissolved minerals such as gypsum and halite. Minerals contained in rocks that undergo intense heat and pressure change from metamorphic (mountain building) activity can transform into other minerals. Lastly, hydrothermal activity deep within the earth can deposit minerals in cracks and cavities in the rocks the hot water flows through.

For those who want to begin their own collection, here are three of my favorite crystals you should start with:

It is said that Tiger’s Eye can aid mental processes

Black tourmaline: This three-sided prismatic mineral is most often found in granite pegmatites and metamorphic rocks. The largest crystals are deposited by hydrothermal fluids in cavities and fractures. Black tourmaline is often used for grounding and protection. It is said to aid in the understanding of oneself and others. It is also known as a great protector from negative self talk and the dark energy of others.

Selenite: This mineral is a clear or translucent form of gypsum which most commonly forms through the evaporation of saline water in arid environments. Selenite is known for expanding spiritual awareness and accessing higher consciousness, making it useful for meditation. This mineral is said to possess powerful cleansing properties that can clear negative energies and purify your aura.

I have a pet peeve when people call everything they see a “rock.” So here’s the difference. Minerals (most commonly called “crystals”) are the building blocks of rocks. Minerals are inorganic, have a chemical composition of one or more elements, and a defined crystal structure. Rocks are made of minerals. For example,the igneous rock granite is made up of quartz, mica and feldspar minerals. There are organic rocks like coal and some types of limestones and shales — some evaporite rocks can be made of one mineral such as halite, but that’s for another article.

There are four main ways minerals can form. One way is when magma or lava cools, crystals form from the elements within that molten liquid. The slower the rate of cooling,

Tiger’s Eye: This mineral is made during a complex metamorphic process when heat and pressure causes silica-rich fluids to flow through and replace another mineral (crocidolite/blue asbestos) with quartz. The original fibrous structure is maintained, giving Tiger’s Eye its characteristic cat’s eye appearance. It is said to aid in focusing the mind and promoting mental clarity for problem-solving. It assists in grounding one’s emotions during times of stress and uncertainty — particularly during fight or flight — bringing a sense of calm and stability while moving forward.

Charleston Museum exhibit offers ‘complete story’

By Chloe Hogan

The Charleston Museum unveiled on Oct. 25 its new permanent exhibition, “Beyond the Ashes: The Lowcountry’s New Beginnings.” The exhibit covers pivotal events in Charleston’s history from the wake of the Civil War to the 21st century, picking up where the exhibitions had previously left off.

Charleston Museum Director Carl Borick told the Charleston City Paper it was “always the plan” to have an exhibition dedicated to these some 160 years post–Civil War, but that the museum had a huge undertaking in tracking down the right artifacts to tell that story.

It pulled off the new display with the curatorial help of Dr. Millicent Brown, a civil rights trailblazer who was one of the first 11 students to be integrated into Charleston public schools in 1963.

“You can’t possibly cover every single piece of our history, I mean, it’s just impossible,” Borick said. “A lot of what we do here revolves around the collection pieces that we have.

“So working with Dr. Millicent Brown enabled us to define some things that we could put in our exhibit case, offering an opportunity to bring in new things and talk more about the different facets of civil

rights, Charleston and Lowcountry history.” The new exhibit has some includes several items of local significance:

• An Edisto Island church pew made by enslaved people in the 1830s. They later used it after they were free. The artifact bridges the beginning and end of Reconstruction in the exhibition.

• A red shirt, emblematic of the violence that occurred in South Carolina after the Civil War. Shirts dyed red were once symbols adopted by White supremacist paramilitary organizations that emerged to oppose the Reconstruction government, a mockery of the concept of “waving the bloody shirt.”

• The piano on which George Gershwin composed Porgy & Bess in the summer of 1934 on Folly Beach.

• A commissioned recent quilt by local fiber artist Cookie Washington to commemorate the victims of the Emanuel Nine — clergy and church members who were murdered in 2015 at the historic Emanuel AME Church.

• Artifacts in “Beyond the Ashes” illustrate Reconstruction, the earthquake of 1886, the Charleston Renaissance, the impact of the two World Wars on the area, the Jim Crow era, the civil rights movement, Hurricane Hugo and more.

The Charleston Museum opened a new exhibition Oct. 25 which covers 160 years of local history — illustrated by cool local artifacts, including the piano on which George Gershwin composed Porgy & Bess (above)

“The museum is the only place you can come in person where you can find an A-to-Z history of our area in terms of cultural history, from native peoples all the way up to the 21st century [and] , natural history from 400 and 500 million years ago to the current epoch.

“Now, we’ve got this complete story.”

SIGNING GUIDELINES

Oneperson may get three books signed by an author per trip through the line. Many lines may not allow for multiple trips through the line, so prioritize your favorites! YALLFest staff and authors try to accommodate everyone, but there may be occasional limits enforced based on time and availability. Any lines that allow for posed photos, please remain in front of the table. These general guidelines may be overruled by specific guidelines listed by author.

Signed stock will also be available, so even if you don’t make it into a particular line, you may still be able to snag a signed book!

TICKETED SIGNINGS

*NEW THIS YEAR* Select Friday and Saturday signings will be ticketed in advance. This is a new system we are testing out to help prioritize both attendee safety and author wellbeing. These free tickets will go live on Sunday, November 10th, in hopes this gives adequate notice to help with packing and planning. All other signings are first-come, first-serve.

Please note, tickets are non-transferable. For authors with both Friday and Saturday tickets, please only get a ticket for one of those days to allow for as many people to see these authors as possible.

Saturday Rebecca Ross 10 a.m.

Saturday V. E. Schwab 11 a.m.
