Past Panic For Charleston, outbreaks and epidemics are a key part of history BY SKYLER BALDWIN harleston’s long history of infectious disease outbreaks and epidemics has given local historians and epidemiologists a point of reference when examining responses to the coronavirus pandemic across the globe and closer to home. From the first major outbreak of yellow fever in the American colonies in 1699 to the influenza epidemic in 1918, officials in Charleston and ordinary people alike have kept detailed records and notes of many individuals who were ill, where in the city they lived, and other statistical information.

Diseases in Colonial Charleston Yellow fever was a frequent visitor Charles Town throughout the 18th century, with epidemics ravaging the city like clockwork. Commercial shipping traffic, including the buying and selling of enslaved Africans, meant frequent outbreaks in the Holy City and other ports, the first of which, in 1699, killed hundreds, wiping out 15 percent of the city’s comparatively small population. Dealing with diseases became part of regular life in colonial cities through the early 19th century, specifically in cities like Boston, Philadelphia, and Charles Town, because so many people from around the world frequently

met, congregated, dealt in business, and attended cultural events in these cities. Few sources of information exist that documented specific impacts of disease on the enslaved people of early Charleston, who made up a significant portion of its population. Yet, a few specific outbreaks stand out, with help from records that let historians see through the eyes of these past residents. With every case, medical professionals and trained physicians attempted to treat the sick and to determine the source of the disease to prevent the spread. In many cases, the efforts only made matters worse, according to Brian Fors, curator of the Waring Historical Library at the Medical University of FORS South Carolina. A common treatment by the late 1700s, Fors explains, was bleeding patients — draining blood from their bodies — in an attempt to restore some balance and rid them of illness. “We now know, of course, this tended to weaken the individuals and hastened their deaths.” Even before the doctors began bleeding their patients, the number of deaths in each outbreak were high. “In the 1732 outbreak, for example,” continued on page 4

Panic continued from page 3 Fors says, “Deaths became so frequent that they stopped ringing the church bells that had become a common practice when someone in the city died.” By the 1800s, sources began to indicate that rest and proper food and drink helped the sick. Alexander Hamilton and his wife took that approach when they contracted yellow fever in Philadelphia in 1793 and recovered, according to Fors, unlike many others. This knowledge didn’t lower the death toll in most cases, however, as another yellow fever outbreak in 1858 killed more than 800 of the city’s roughly 40,000 people. What made this epidemic stand out further was that it seemed to affect everyone, regardless of class, wealth, or age, instead of the common victims — children, visitors, and immigrants. Once physicians were able to draw proper conclusions, records showing patterns that accompanied the development of epidemics in various cities became clearer. “There would be a realization that there is a disease ravaging the city and panic as residents left or kept themselves isolated, usually those who could afford to do so,” Fors explains. “As the initial panic subsided, government and health care officials developed strategies to slow the spread of the disease, discover the source and eliminate it, and treat those who were ill.” In the case of yellow fever and other mosquito-borne illnesses, people discovered efforts to drain standing water and improve sanitation generally slowed infection, but officials didn’t draw the connection directly to mosquitos until the late 19th century.

Disease during the Revolution

Yellow fever and other diseases in particular were given partial credit for keeping British invaders at bay long enough to give the new American republic a fighting chance in the Carolinas. Conflicts during the hot seasons of the Revolutionary War were challenging due to constant threat of infection from yellow fever, smallpox, and malaria, particularly around coastal areas. In 1779, the British were preparing a siege of Charles Town, and due to a rumored smallpox epidemic in the backcountry, militia were slow in getting to the city to back up the Continental Army. Disease worked against both sides of the conflict. “You may have heard this before, ‘Charleston in the spring is a paradise; in the summer, it’s hell; and in the fall, it’s a graveyard,’” says Charleston Museum director Carl Borick. “You have mosquitos being more active, and malaria breaking out among the troops.” During the conflict, roughly 2,400 enlisted men were captured by the British and allowed to go back to their BORICK homes as prisoners of war on parole. In 1780, about 1,000 escaped British-occupied areas. The British responded by capturing a number of others and put them on prison ships in the harbor. “The British commander said they lost more men from the diseases on the prison ships than they did the escapes,” Borick says. In the summer of 1782, the British still occupied Charles Town, the American forces were camped out, and Continental Army General Nathanael Greene was recording the number of men they had lost to a malaria outbreak, and the British the same thing. Before the season changed, the Americans found out the British were planning to evacuate the city. Even

without scientific backing, the soldiers did make a connection between disease and swamp-ridden areas of the Lowcountry — of course, where mosquito populations were highest. By November and December, malaria cases usually fell off. “There is definitely some seasonality with the flu,” Borick explains. “That was certainly the case with malaria as well, as it started cooling off, the mosquitos would be less active.” Ultimately, the British wanted to push on into North Carolina in the heat of summer, but disease slowed their advance, giving militia and the Continental Army a chance to prepare, making the British campaign north that much more difficult.

Apathy and hysteria Port cities like Charleston are global hubs for trade, business, culture, as well as the diseases that come with each. Even in the 1700s, the role of government in helping to stop the spread of harmful disease was hotly debated. “It’s a parallel to what we’re dealing with right now and these issues of quarantine,” says Jacob Steere-Williams, a College of Charleston professor and author of the forthcoming book, The Filth Disease: Typhoid Fever and Epidemiology in Victorian Britain. “These are the issues that 18th century Americans and Charlestonians had to grapple with as well.” Steere-Williams teaches epidemics and revolutions at CofC, taking a broad, global look at disease and its impact in world history with a focus on Charleston. “One of the things that’s so fascinating to me about the way America is responding to COVID-19, one of the reasons there is both a certain apathy happening and a certain hysteria, STEERE-WILLIAMS is because everyday Americans are struggling to find a kind of analogy to this,” he explains. Steere-Williams says the 1918 flu outbreak is a suitable parallel to the coronavirus of today. Americans have seen more of the same old responses, and officials still struggle to respond in moments like these. “This is what I teach my students throughout the semester,” he says. “These are the ways we respond to disease.” Charleston’s early 20th century pandemic was more comparable to the Black Plague of the 14th century than some of the city’s earlier outbreaks, affecting 10 percent of South Carolina’s population, about 150,000-170,000 at the time, killing 4,000-5,000. While we aren’t seeing those numbers in 2020, we have seen toilet paper hoarding and panic buying of supplies. In 1918, people ran to stock up on liquor, read about the panic in the news, and at times distrusted government officials.

“Most Americans don’t have the kind of depth of knowledge to think back to an analogy to yellow fever or to smallpox,” Steere-Williams says. “But, there is a builtin historical memory, even if people don’t have an actual memory of those things.” In his class, Steere-Williams tells students he’s hopeful that at some point leaders will see epidemics like these in a different way, using the tools of history to see the difference between panic and preparedness. It’s a more structured way of viewing the world, he says. Steere-Williams says he saw the reflection of the past as he spoke about the virus with strangers around town in mid March. “Ninety percent of the people thought this was overblown,” he says. “They didn’t see the need for any of this. It wasn’t affecting them, and that kind of apathy is dangerous. I was thinking about it like a historian, and this is exactly how people in the past thought too, until it reached a tipping point.”

Looking to the past and future Even as the clock ticks and governments flail to address the coronavirus pandemic, they are not flying completely blind. History can be a patient zero of sorts. Steere-Williams says the response in 2020 pales compared to actions of past outbreaks. “In 1918, schools closed down, public gatherings stopped, there was a complete lockdown of Charleston in the fall. That is, in some ways, more than what we’ve seen right now. “If we see an explosion of cases in Charleston, I expect to see more of an intrusive government action,” SteereWilliams said. “But, what we’re doing now is not unprecedented. In some ways, looking at the past, we’ve even been a little lethargic in responding to this.” Whatever the level of intervention, without public support there will be less impact, according to SteereWilliams. Only recently have we started to see that change, to where more Americans are believing the scope of the problem, that it will affect them and their loved ones. But without that cultural buy-in, government help simply won’t work, the professor says. Of course, public skepticism is nothing new. In 1832, newspapers reported about cholera, a new disease that had been tied to India and began to spread pandemically. Americans doubted it would affect them like it did for those in far-off lands. “There’s this simultaneous arrogance and denialism,” Steere-Williams explains, “the exact thing we saw at the start of the spread of COVID-19. “Public health has never been and isn’t now as easy as hearing the scientific facts and putting them into place,” Steere-Williams says. “This is our reality — COVID-19 is not going to be the last epidemic in our country, probably in our lifetimes,” he concludes. “How we respond to it now has an impact on how future generations will respond to these things in the future.”

CofC ALLOWING GENEROUS PASS/ FAIL OPTIONS FOR SPRING CLASSES UPENDED BY PANDEMIC

A new grading policy will give College of Charleston students latitude to make sure the impact of a semester wracked by campus closures and COVID-19 precautions is noted on their transcripts. Monday morning, CofC notified students of the addition of a new pass-fail grade for classes and a course withdrawal extension for the Spring 2020 semester. Under the new system, referred to as PS/NS, grades between A and D- will be considered a pass (PS), while withdrawals from absences and Fs will be considered a fail (NS). Incomplete courses are not available for the PS/NS option. PS/NS grades will not count toward GPA scores, so students are encouraged to be smart about which classes they choose to grade in the new system. All courses passed with a PS will still provide their original credit hours. Students may choose to wait until 48 hours after they know their final grade to decide what classes they will grade as PS/NS. “In general, it is likely that most students will chose to take the letter grade of C or better,” the school recommends on their website. “For a C- grade, students should check their program requirements. Students who receive a D+, D, or D- grade may want to consider the PS grade.” If students still want to withdraw from a course, despite the new grading system giving them every advantage, the new deadline for withdrawal is April 22. This new policy is in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The outbreak has already made significant interruptions to the education system in South Carolina, forcing schools to shift to online classes. The College is still encouraging students to stay away from facilities unless its necessary to enter them. —Heath Ellison

CHARLESTON MOVING AHEAD WITH STAY-HOME ORDER DESPITE OPINION FROM ATTORNEY GENERAL’S OFFICE One of South Carolina’s top prosecutors says that emergency orders adopted by local governments last week are likely illegal, but Charleston’s mayor argues Home Rule extends to emergencies. Days after two of South Carolina’s largest cities ordered their residents to stay at home to prevent the spread of COVID-19, South Carolina’s Solicitor General Robert D. Cook issued an opinion on March 27 noting that local governments’ powers are limited in times of emergency. Charleston and Columbia both enacted emergency “stay at home” orders last week, asking residents to remain in their homes to prevent one-on-one contact that could spread the highly contagious and deadly COVID-19 disease. Other cities have considered similar measures, and the Friday opinion was in response to a letter from a Lowcountry lawmaker asking if the orders were allowable. Citing a 1980 opinion from the Attorney General’s Office looking at the governor’s powers in emergency situations, the

opinion goes out of its way to concede localities’ Home Rule powers under state law. Stopping short of calling the orders unconstitutional, the order reiterates the governor’s “extraordinary powers” during times of emergency. “The city appreciates the strong support for the principle of Home Rule voiced in today’s AG Office’s opinion, and believes that principle extends to emergency ordinances to protect the health and safety of our citizens,” Charleston Mayor John Tecklenburg said in a statement on Friday afternoon. “In addition, city leaders and staff have worked diligently to ensure that our current emergency ordinances directly support and codify the orders issued by Governor McMaster during this crisis,” the mayor added. During a press conference on Friday, Tecklenburg said that if Gov. Henry McMasters asked the city to lift its order, he would follow the governor’s instructions. —Sam Spence

SIDELINED BY CORONAVIRUS PRECAUTIONS, SC LAWMAKERS STILL PUSH FOR CHANGES

The 170 members of the S.C. House and Senate are home until at least the week of April 7 as infections accelerate across the state. State-level response to the coronavirus pandemic rests in the executive office under a declared state of emergency. Lexington Republican Sen. Katrina Shealy said Gov. Henry McMaster is staying in touch with her and many of her Statehouse colleagues during the coronavirus pandemic. “I’ve talked to him several times. He will just call and say, ‘What are you hearing?’” Shealy said. With the legislature on hold, one of the “checks” on the executive branch is unable to weigh in via legislation as executive orders are announced nearly biweekly, worrying some social justice advocates. McMaster’s spokesman Brian Symmes and Chief of Staff Trey Walker did not respond to several requests to comment for this story. “It’s really actually not safe for the House and Senate to meet right now,” Lancaster Democratic Rep. Mandy Powers Norrell said. “I have been so against legislating by executive order, but in this situation, we really, really need to.” Beaufort Republican Sen. Tom Davis said the General Assembly’s role is “to be responsive to what the governor requests.” He called it “the appropriate response” to let the executive office call the shots during the crisis. “You always have as a backstop the General Assembly and that is the ultimate guardrail,” he said. “We have a system that is designed to have those checks.” But as executive orders mount, some civil liberties’ advocates have raised an alarm, particularly in light of the legislature not meeting. McMaster’s March 23 executive order banning groups of three or more is flawed and threatens civil rights due to giving police discretion in enforcement, according to Frank Knaack, director of the American Civil Liberties Union of South Carolina. The group has called on the governor to rescind the order. S.C. Appleseed Legal Justice Center Director Sue Berkowitz said overarching executive orders “can be pretty dicey,” especially since it is unsure when the legislature will reconvene. However, she said courts are still functioning in the state, so a case challenging an executive order could always be filed. “These are such extraordinary times,” Berkowitz said. “There clearly needs to be a balance of public health but without it totally infringing on civil liberties of people.” Orangeburg Democratic Sen. Brad Hutto said South Carolina’s executive branch is the appropriate place to handle the unfolding coronavirus crisis but, “I disagree it is like a hurricane.” “We need to revisit how we are managing this,” Hutto said. “It isn’t just going to (go on) for three days and gone ... It’s multifaceted. So I think the governor should task a czar or somebody who’s got a more comprehensive background in all of state government to manage us through the pandemic. He can’t micromanage all of this himself.” —Lindsay Street

“While my symptoms have begun to improve, I will remain at home until I know it is safe to leave selfquarantine.” —U.S. Rep. Joe Cunningham said in a press release on March 27 that he tested positive for COVID-19 and has been in isolation since March 19 after coming into contact with a member of Congress who also tested positive for the disease.

BLOTTER O’ THE WEEK

A man was observed walking down Savannah Highway, naked, covered in cooking oil, apparently suffering a breakdown. When police arrived, the man began shouting and requesting help “from otherworldly entities.” COVID-19 anxiety is hitting hard.

CHARLESTON CITY PAPER 04.01.2020

The Blotter is taken from reports filed with Charleston Police Department between March 13 and March 23. No one described in this section has been found guilty, just unlucky.

Two reporters approached the police headquarters lobby last Wednesday. Finding it locked, they were greeted by a begloved officer who handed them a clipboard holding a stack of the week’s police reports. Resigned to their fate, they sat on a soggy picnic table outside to bring you the following Blotter.

During a traffic stop, a driver told the officer that he had less than an ounce of marijuana in the car, which doesn’t sound like a lot. He then gave the officer several glass pipes packed with marijuana and a black bag which contained several other bags of marijuana ... and a vape pen containing THC oil.

Two Louis Vuitton purses, one Gucci purse, and 13 Burberry scarves were stolen from the back seat of a 2018 Mercedes which was parked on the upper levels of a downtown parking garage. With that expensive of taste, you would think the owner would have kept the doors locked.

While dealing with a minor car accident in a parking lot, responding officer noticed one of the vehicles smelled strongly of marijuana. The driver admitted he kept a small amount in the closed compartment protecting the car’s gas cap. Was he so worried about people breaking into his car and taking his weed that he didn’t just keep it in the glovebox like everyone else?

When officers attempted to pull over a car for changing lanes without signaling, the car darted into oncoming traffic and tried to outrun officers. When they finally caught up to the car and stopped him, they discovered only one gram of marijuana in the vehicle and no other contraband. Come on guys, it was probably his last bit, and under social distancing rules, he won’t be able to meet with his dealer for a while.

While prepping a Daniel Island golf course for its morning “t-times,” police wrote, the director found a diesel utility vehicle tipped over on its side and nearly $1,000 worth of damage to the turf. Apparently, someone had driven the vehicle out onto the grounds, did a bunch of donuts and flipped the cart. Dope.

A white moped was stolen from a busy downtown street by an unknown party. The victim says the vehicle had three necklaces and a .40 caliber handgun inside of its storage compartment. The moped was recovered shortly after it was reported stolen, but the items inside were not. If you had the choice between three necklaces and a handgun or a moped, you would choose the jewelry and the gun too. An empty gun case was stolen from a car downtown. The rear driver’s side window had been smashed and the center console and glove box had been rummaged through. With the rate guns are reported stolen in police reports, we can only assume the gun case was empty because the firearm had already been taken by another thief. An officer was sitting in a downtown gas station parking lot when an individual with superficial cuts on their wrist approached him. The victim advised he is a Satanist, and he cut his wrists to drink the blood “in order to ward off demons.” If those demons could bring band-aids and peroxide, they might be useful.

A Coronavirus Test Without leaders to prevent a pandemic, government steps in to respond

CHARLESTON CITY PAPER 04.01.2020

s a public health crisis threatened to overwhelm our hospitals last month, Americans were just coming to realize it could empty our offices and pocketbooks, too. What was also coming, besides COVID-19, was a financial support framework the likes of which this nation has never seen, to keep our economy from collapsing. Seemingly faced with the choice of closing and suffering massive economic losses or forging ahead knowing that they or their workers could get sick, business owners were left with no good options while President Donald Trump and others stubbornly refused to acknowledge the threat of what would soon be declared a pandemic. Flippantly dismissing the pandemic to cameras in March, Trump’s White House ineptly laid the groundwork for a fumbled response for years. “I just think this is something ... that you can never really think is going to happen,” Trump said March 7. According to Politico, a 69-page playbook from the National Security Council was just one mechanism that went unheeded in the White House. It was even color-coded. In South Carolina, our own leaders have fouled up as well. As politicians, TV hosts, and the president shrugged off the dangers, Gov. Henry McMaster and state officials with the Department of Health and Environmental Control repeatedly insisted large public events and school should continue as planned. That left local leaders and business owners holding the bag, making hard decisions the governor should be making as a public health emergency turns into a crisis.

Thankfully, there is a sliver of functioning government in Washington that has yet to be gutted, or at least there was over the past couple weeks. Sensing a massive economic upheaval completely unlike the 2008 downturn, Congress passed three separate bills over two weeks to help fight the epidemic and soften job losses and business closures. The massive rush of cash to replace losses in the American economy for months is unprecedented. Twelve years removed from the recession, cushioned by its own stimulus bills that drew criticism from government-cutting Republicans, payouts to every American worker and his or her family were added during negotiations to get the bill through the GOP-led Senate. But even in the details of the latest recovery bill, conflicting approaches to help nurse the economy are visible. Aside from the one-time payouts, the bill’s remedies remain centered around employers, rather than workers themselves. U.S. Sen. Tim Scott romanticized the sanctity of the “employer-employee relationship” to the point of the absurd in criticizing proposals that failed to fluff the mythology of the American Dream. Nonetheless, Scott and every single other senator voted in favor. This is what our government is for. This is why we elect our leaders: to conduct the business of the state fairly and respond quickly and decisively in moments of crisis. South Carolinians should take note, since we know many are not very familiar with the concept of government working for them.

A FEW WORDS | BY ANDY BRACK

Take Action Issue stay-at-home order for South Carolina now, governor Gov. Henry McMaster must issue a tough stay-in-place order now to keep the coronavirus from spreading more in South Carolina. He can’t wait any longer. Such an order will cause huge economic ripples throughout the state’s economy. But school isn’t open for another month. More people are getting sick. If we don’t nip this mess in the bud as much as possible now, the damage will be far, far worse when he is forced to issue an order later. “I have great faith in the people of South Carolina,” the governor said Thursday. “They follow rules. They’re respectful. They’re courteous. They’re gentle. They’re smart. They’re resilient. The things we have asked them to do, they are doing and doing very well.” Yes, most South Carolinians are like that. Unfortunately, governor, responding to this disease isn’t about faith. It’s about science. It’s about listening to public health authorities and keeping people apart. A lot of South Carolinians are staying at home voluntarily, but there are far too many still in close contact. Continuing with a voluntary approach won’t chill the clusters that are developing. Our state needs to go into time-out for two weeks to allow the virus to die down. To do otherwise will create more opportunities for the virus to spread. We don’t want 8,000 infected

people in May, as predicted, who infect even more. “Health over wealth needs to be the focus, in my opinion,” Greenville political analyst Chip Felkel observed. “We can recover financially. It won’t be easy. It will cause a lot of anxiety and, yes, people will be severely and adversely affected. But they won’t be dead.” To respond to the crisis, the state legislature should redirect the bulk of a $2 billion surplus into programs to help small businesses stay afloat and hospitals to deal with the caring crisis ahead. “Small businesses are the backbone of the country, and especially South Carolina,” Felkel said. “A program to help companies meet payroll and stay afloat, not necessarily flourish, would go a long way.” Frank Knapp, head of the South Carolina Small Business Chamber of Commerce, suggests the state augment a federal infusion of money into small businesses by delaying the filing of state employer payroll taxes. “There should not be any refund checks sent to taxpayers this year,” he said. “We should be putting every state tax dollar we can into our hospitals to cover their COVID-19 operational costs. We should do this because of the health care needs but also because it will help keep health insurance rates from rising next year.” Knapp also suggested using federal dollars to expand

Medicaid, even if only for a year, because tens of thousands of newly laid-off workers won’t have health insurance or meet federal levels to qualify for health insurance subsidies. “Lack of health insurance results in unhealthy citizens, which threatens all of us,” Knapp said. State Sen. Vincent Sheheen, a Camden Democrat whose home area has been hammered by the virus, urged increased testing and called for “effective selfquarantine procedures for confirmed cases with minor symptoms supervised by local law enforcement.” If you want to better understand the toll of the coronavirus, I suggest you read the terrifying story of a New York City woman who has been caring for her husband, wracked by the disease. “Our world became one of isolation, round-the-clock care, panic, and uncertainty — even as society carried on around us with all too few changes,” Jessica Lustig wrote March 24 in The New York Times. As of Tuesday, 27 states had stay-at-home orders. Sooner or later, South Carolina will likely have one too. Let’s do it now so we can move beyond this disease’s crippling health and economic impacts sooner. Andy Brack is the publisher of Charleston City Paper.

BRUCE MUNRO SAYS BROOKGREEN GARDENS REMINDS HIM MORE OF A SERIES OF ROOMS THAN A TYPICAL FORMAL GARDEN

Field of Light English artist Bruce Munro creates a magical lightscape at Brookgreen Gardens Hemingway famously said, “There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.” English artist Bruce Munro takes a similar view with his art: coalescing the whole of our shared human experience into something as simple as pixels of light. Creating art seems as natural to Munro as bleeding or breathing. As you’ll see at the artist’s upcoming exhibit at Brookgreen Gardens in Murrells Inlet, he can transform simple light beams — sometimes strung along fishing rods, reflecting off thousands of compact discs or planted in flower beds — into much more. The upcoming installation at Brookgreen Gardens is a version of Munro’s most famous piece, “Field of Light,” customized to fit the particular landscape of the South Carolina garden. Using a seemingly endless series of oscillating lights incorporated throughout the fauna, Munro creates an otherworldly, immersive landscape where the trees and grasses seem to come alive. It’s as if a million stars fell out of the sky and landed inside every flower. “Botanical gardens are all different and completely beautiful,” says Munro, who has exhibited his light installations across the globe — Japan, Philadelphia, Arizona, Australia. “They all have something unique about them.” Brookgreen, says Munro, reminds him more than any other garden he’s been to of a series of rooms.

“It’s really like a huge gallery. You can place a piece of work in a different room and it has its own context and atmosphere. I was intrigued by this exterior space that has a kind of interior architecture,” he explains. “Because the landscape is quite flat, they use the flora and these architectural features to make you discover in a way how you walk from one room to another. It’s magical. It’s almost as if the garden is floating above the wildness. There is a wall when you get to the end of the garden and you look over it to all these wild grasses and swampland where the trees have got this magical cobweb-y covering. I got the feeling that we were on this sort of island outside reality.” Munro has had the exploratory mind of an artist for as long as he can remember, finding a way to make art with recycled materials like used compact discs when he didn’t have the money for expensive art supplies, a practice he says opened his eyes to “the beauty of the everyday object.” “I am one of these people who my mind is whirring around at 100 miles an hour still and there are a lot of things that catch my eye ... or catch my imagination,” he says. A world traveller now at age 60, Munro made his first trip to America around 1978: “My grandfather had given all his grandchildren 500 pounds, which was quite a lot in those days. All my cousins and siblings put their money to good use, squirreled it away for a down deposit on a car. But I took

myself off to Florida and then hitchhiking around America.” The inspiration for “Field of Light” came to him on a trip through the Red Desert in central Australia. Far from his first epiphany moment, Munro was often inspired by the natural elements while he lived in Australia — rock formations, sky, water. In this particular moment, Munro had the idea to create a field of illuminated stems, which would ripple to life under the stars at dusk. “It came from the ground in a very visceral experience. I never would have imagined that it would make the journey it has. I think maybe I was lucky to be in the right place at the right time and maybe the antenna was

working because I picked up on this feeling. It became an obsession to make it ... It became something that continued nagging at me and I knew it had to be done.” Munro took 12 years to bring the first iteration of “Field of Light” to fruition, and it’s changed slightly to fit the environment of each subsequent show. What you’ll see at Brookgreen is a unique display of nearly 60,000 lights sitting atop flower-like stems, oscillating between blues, pinks, greens, and yellows in a wave of color. Munro’s advice for viewing the exhibit? Keep an open mind and an open heart. Feel something when you go to the garden, he says, less concerned with what you feel and more concerned that you do take a moment to feel it viscerally. It’s an experience much less to do with Instagram photos than something less tangible and much more meaningful. “This work is a journey, and now that I’m just 60 I realize that life is short and sweet and we have a responsibility to really make the most of our short life,” he says, “but also to communicate with our fellow human beings and to make the world a little bit kinder and a safer place for the people who inherit the future of this world. I say that in all seriousness, because we are all connected whether we like it or not.” As of press time, the exhibition’s opening is scheduled for May 1. It will remain open through Sept. 12, 2020.

Out For Blood Grady Hendrix’s latest novel is an Old Village vampire thriller

CHARLESTON CITY PAPER 04.01.2020

Former Mt. Pleasant madman Grady Hendrix, the author of My Best Friend’s Exorcism, We Sold Our Souls, and Horrorstor, is releasing a new book, The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires on Tues. April 7. The book was recently picked up by Amazon for series development. In Guide to Slaying Vampires, Mt. Pleasant housewife Patricia Campbell suspects her neighbor, James Harris, may very well be a creature of the night. Unfortunately, no one, including the members of her book club, believes her. What follows is funny, heartbreaking, scary, and fun as h-e-double hockey sticks. Here’s what Hendrix had to say about his latest foray into Old Village darkness.

roots. He needs a bank account. He needs all these things to survive, because you can’t just wander around anymore if you want to live within this system. He decides that the perfect place to do that would be a small southern town where as long as you’re white, seem to have money, and are the right kind of person, they’ll take you for who you say you are. As long as you’re a praying man and not marginalized (people you don’t think we’d miss,) then that seems like a pretty viable long-term solution. CP: Speaking of James, was there a particular vampire you had in mind when writing him? GH: With James, there were a couple people I had most in mind. One was a friend’s ex-boyfriend who was very, very charming and a super nice guy. He had a lot of darkness below the surface. The other one was Ted Bundy. Ann Rule’s first book The Stranger Beside Me is about how when she got hired, she was a crime reporter. Ted Bundy was her really good friend who worked next to her at a suicide hotline. Reading her book and talking about turning a blind eye, it took her a really long time to process this because he acted all the right ways and said all the right things.

City Paper: How would you describe Patricia? Grady Hendrix: She’s very much like the moms I grew up seeing in Charleston. A lot of the ones I knew didn’t work. They really seemed to be caught up in a lot of stuff that I thought was pretty irrelevant … the manners, the thank you notes, and all that stuff. Then as I’ve gotten older, I realized they’d done a tremendous amount of work that I’d never seen. They took all these hits so we didn’t have to. They were navigating divorces, alcoholic spouses, friends in divorces with alcoholic spouses, domestic violence, real-world violence, aging parents — all this stuff CP: Aside from Lowcountry moms, that they didn’t have a lot of resources for, were there any particular inspirations except for their support staff for them. for James’ motives? For a lot of these women, their support GH: Around the time I was writing network came in their social work, their this book, I was flying into Charleston, church, their church choir, their book club, I was looking out the window. I realized Images provided their bunko club, their sewing circle, their all the rivers and the marshes looked carpool group.

Last week South Arts, the nonprofit regional arts service organization that seeks to advance Southern vitality through the arts announced the recipients of $5,000 state fellowships. Nine visual artists, including Charleston’s Kristi Ryba, were awarded $5,000 and are now in competition for the $25,000 Southern Prize with a residency at The Hambidge Center for Creative Arts and Sciences as well as the $10,000 Southern Prize Finalist awards. In a press release executive director of South Arts, Susie Surkamer, said: “South Arts is immensely proud to support every one of these artists, craftspeople, and traditionbearers. Especially as our country enters the economic disruption caused by COVID-19, artists are among those most vulnerable to losing income. Yet their creativity, work, and stories are what carry us forward and will be integral to rebuilding our communities.” This isn’t Ryba’s first time taking home cash for her artistic talents. In 2018 she won $25,000 at Lake City’s ArtFields for her mixed-media piece, “Chapel of Perpetual Adoration.” Ryba uses her family’s vintage photographs to make paintings based on the iconography and ideals of Medieval and Renaissance altarpieces and manuscripts. Since the November 2016 election she has been substituting photographs of Trump and his administration into existing manuscripts that depict what Ryba believes is the “shallow and corrupt nature of this government.” Learn more about Ryba online. —Connelly Hardaway

During these take-out times, local restaurants are finding ways to get creative with their take-away and delivery offerings. It’s not quite the same, but soft-shell crab season is upon us, meaning Charleston restaurants have even more inspiration for jazzing things up. Don’t let the haters tell you soft-shell crabs don’t belong in a to-go box. These are the Charleston establishments making softies on the couch the next big thing. The Grocery has softies in stock as part of their new “To Go-cery” menu. The cornmealcrusted crab is joined by a vinegar slaw and remoulade on a brioche bun. “Our approach is to do the most minimal preparation as possible so we can let the crab shine,” says executive chef Kevin Johnson. “Typically, we wouldn’t serve a sandwich, but we feel that’s the best vehicle for take out.” These puppies are made-to-order, so Johnson is asking guests to call or text when they get to the parking lot in order to guarantee a crispy crab. The Glass Onion isn’t letting COVID-19 stop them from serving up softies. The crispy crustaceans come on a po’ boy with Bibb lettuce and house-made tartar sauce or on a platter with two sides. Both options are $15. “The crabs are from McClellanville and will be

a slow but steady source of fresh fish for us,” says owner Chris Stewart. The American cheese-topped soft-shell “Big Mac” is officially back on the menu at Edmund’s Oast Brewing Company. As of Fri. March 27, guests can order a single ($18) or double ($33), which can be paired with a side of crispy potatoes ($3) or coleslaw ($4). Order by dialing (843) 718-3224. Pier 41’s menu items are available for take out at The Basement, the arcade bar located at the Mt. Pleasant eatery. They’re dishing out two options for soft-shell crab-lovers. Opt for their fried softie sandwich ($15) or a platter with two sides featuring one ($20) or two ($30) crabs. Place your order by phone at (843) 352-9235. Dockery’s on Daniel Island has a softshell crab sandwich ($18) on their take out menu. Bacon, Vertical Roots lettuce, tomato, and a preserved lemon aioli join the softie, which is served with a side of your choosing. Chubby Fish isn’t jumping into the softshell crab game just yet but say they plan to once the crustaceans are more prevalent in South Carolina waters. We’ll let you know. This list will be updated as the soft-shell season continues — if you’ve got crabs, email parker@charlestoncitypaper.com. —Parker Milner

NOTICE OF FILING

Free Will Astrology ARIES (March 21-April 19): “If all the world’s a stage, where the hell is the teleprompter,” asks aphorist Sami Feiring. In my astrological opinion, you Aries are the least likely of all the signs to identify with that perspective. While everyone else might wish they could be better prepared for the nonstop improvisational tests of everyday life, most of you tend to prefer what I call the “naked spontaneity” approach. If you were indeed given the chance to use a teleprompter, you’d probably ignore it. Everything I just said is especially and intensely true for you right now. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): When Nobel Prizewinning Norwegian author Knut Hamsun was 25 years old, a doctor told him that the tuberculosis he had contracted would kill him within three months. But in fact, Hamsun lived 67 more years, till the age of 92. I suspect there’s an equally erroneous prophecy or unwarranted expectation impacting your life right now. A certain process or phenomenon that seems to be nearing an end may in fact reinvent or resurrect itself, going on to last for quite some time. I suggest you clear away any misapprehensions you or others might have about it. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): I invite you to remember what you were thinking and feeling around your birthday in 2019. Were there specific goals you hoped to accomplish between then and your birthday in 2020? Were there bad old habits you aimed to dissolve and good new habits you proposed to instigate? Was there a lingering wound you aspired to heal or a debilitating memory you longed to conquer? The coming weeks will be an excellent time to take inventory of your progress in projects like those. And if you find that you have achieved less than you had hoped, I trust you will dedicate yourself to playing catch-up in the weeks between now and your birthday. You may be amazed at how much ground you can cover. CANCER (June 21-July 22): I can’t swim. Why? There was a good reason when I was a kid: I’m allergic to chlorine, and my mom wouldn’t let me take swimming lessons at the local chlorine-treated pool. Since then, the failure to learn is inexcusable, and I’m embarrassed about it. Is there an equivalent phenomenon in your life, my fellow Cancerian? The coming weeks might be an excellent time to meditate on how to correct the problem. Now excuse me while I head out to my solo self-administered swim lesson at Bass Lake, buoyed by the instructions I got from a Youtube video. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Is William Shakespeare the greatest author who ever lived? French philosopher Voltaire didn’t think so, calling him “an amiable barbarian.” Russian superstar author Leo Tolstoy claimed The Bard had “a complete absence of aesthetic feeling.” England’s first Poet Laureate John Dryden called Shakespeare’s language “scarcely intelligible.” T. E. Lawrence, a.k.a Lawrence of Arabia, declared The Bard had a second-rate mind. Lord Byron said, “Shakespeare’s name stands too absurdly high and will go down.” His contemporary, the poet and playwright Ben Johnson, asserted that he “never had six lines together without a fault.” I offer these cheeky views to encourage you Leos to enjoy your own idol-toppling and authority-questioning activities in the coming weeks. You have license to be an irrepressible iconoclast. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Virgo-born Jack Ma is China’s richest person and one of the world’s most powerful businessmen. He co-founded Alibaba, the Chinese version of Amazon.com. He likes his employees to work hard, but also thinks they should cultivate a healthy balance between work and life. In his opinion, they should have sex six times a week, or 312 times a year. Some observers have suggested that’s too much — especially if you labor 12 hours a day, six days a week, as Jack Ma prefers — but it may not be excessive for you Virgos. The coming months could be a very erotic time. But please practice safe sex in every way imaginable. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): How hard are you willing to work on your most important relationships? How might your life change for the better if you gave them your most potent resourcefulness

By Rob Brezsny

and panache? The next eight weeks will be a favorable time for you to attend to these matters, Libra. During this fertile time, you will have unprecedented power to reinvigorate togetherness with imaginative innovations. I propose you undertake the following task: Treat your intimate alliances as creative art projects that warrant your supreme ingenuity. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “I make mistakes,” confessed author Jean Kerr. “I’ll be the second to admit it.” She was making a joke, contrasting her tepid sense of responsibility with the humbler and more common version of the idiom, which is “I make mistakes; I’ll be the first to admit it.” In the coming weeks, I’ll be fine if you merely match her mild level of apology — just as long as you do indeed acknowledge some culpability in what has gone amiss or awry or off-kilter. One way or another, you need to be involved in atonement and correction — for your own sake. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If you have been thinking of adopting a child or getting pregnant with a new child, the coming weeks will be a favorable time to enter a new phase of rumination about that possibility. If you’ve been dreaming off and on about a big project that could activate your dormant creative powers and captivate your imagination for a long time to come, now would be a perfect moment to get more practical about it. If you have fantasized about finding a new role that would allow you to express even more of your beauty and intelligence, you have arrived at a fertile phase to move to the next stage of that fantasy. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I suggest you make room in your life for a time of sacred rejuvenation. Here are activities you might try: Recall your favorite events of the past. Reconnect with your roots. Research your genetic heritage. Send prayers to your ancestors, and ask them to converse with you in your dreams. Have fun feeling what it must have been like when you were in your mother’s womb. Get a phone consultation with a past life regression therapist who can help you recover scenes from your previous incarnations. Feel reverence and gratitude for traditions that are still meaningful to you. Reaffirm your core values—the principles that serve as your lodestar. And here’s the number one task I recommend: Find a place of refuge in your imagination and memories; use your power of visualization to create an inner sanctuary. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Are we just being poetic and fanciful when we say that wonder is a survival skill? Not according to the editors who assembled the collection of essays gathered in a book called Wonder and Other Survival Skills. They propose that a capacity to feel awe and reverence can help us to be vital and vigorous; that an appreciation for marvelous things makes us smart and resilient; that it’s in our selfish interests to develop a humble longing for sublime beauty and an attraction to sacred experiences. The coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to dive deep into these healing pleasures, dear Aquarius. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): For decades, the city of Sacramento, California suffered from severe floods when the Sacramento and American Rivers overflowed their banks. Residents authorized a series of measures to prevent these disasters, culminating in the construction of a 59,000-acre floodplain that solved the problem. According to my analysis, the coming weeks will be an excellent time for you to plan an equally systematic transformation. It could address a big ongoing problem like Sacramento’s floods, or it could be a strategy for reorganizing and recreating your life so as to gloriously serve your long-term dreams.

MANNY HOUSTON AND THE CHARLESTON JAZZ ORCHESTRA’S TRIBUTE TO RAY CHARLES WAS THE FIRST ARCHIVED CONCERT IN THE SERIES

The Next Best Thing The Charleston Jazz Orchestra digs into the archives for a new online concert series

CHARLESTON CITY PAPER 04.01.2020

BY VINCENT HARRIS

We may not be able to go to concerts for the foreseeable future, but in the online world, the Charleston Jazz Orchestra is still providing music. Charleston Jazz has posted portions of their concerts on YouTube and Facebook, but began publishing entire concerts online on March 26 as part of a weekly series called “From the Archives.” The first posted concert was from April 2019, a program called “Mess Around: A Tribute To Ray Charles featuring Manny Houston.” New concerts from the archives will be posted on Facebook and YouTube every Thursday evening for as long as necessary. “It’s an interesting time for performing arts organizations that typically perform onstage with hundreds and hundreds of people around them,” says Tatjana Beylotte, the executive director of Charleston Jazz. “So the next best thing is to perform online.” Luckily, the orchestra has a large catalog of performances to choose from; more than 11 years, as it turns out. “The good thing is that we have recordings of all of our performances,” Beylotte says. “We record all of them and edit a couple of the songs to add them to our YouTube page, but in this case, we’re going to have the entire performance, which we don’t usually do.” Beylotte recently re-watched the Ray Charles program and she says she found the experience exhilarating. “‘Mess Around’ with Manny Houston was such a great upbeat performance,” she says. “It’s fun, and it’s positive, so we wanted to use that as the first one to lift everyone’s spirits and make them smile. Art, especially in difficult times, has that power to make

you feel. It’s a good way to process what’s going on, and it’s a great way to make you feel good, at least that’s what it does for me.” Of course, it was a bittersweet experience for Beylotte, as well. “It was really emotional to watch it,” she says, “because you don’t know when we can experience it again live.” Rather than simply moving backwards chronologically, the performances will be curated based on the material and how the audience reacted. “We have a pretty good idea what was on all of them to begin with, which ones got a good response from the audiences, and so on,” says the CJO’s music director, Robert Lewis. “So when we had this idea of having the watch party on Thursdays, we kicked LEWIS around a few ideas of what we wanted to start with, and we settled on the Ray Charles tribute. It was a fun show, people liked it, they know the tunes.” “We like to think they’re all entertaining,” Lewis adds with a laugh, “but it certainly seemed like one that people would enjoy seeing.” The online concerts are free to watch but there will be options for tips and donations, which will be used both to help Charleston Jazz and a lot of musicians. “Our organization is suffering,” Beylotte says. “There are resources that we would normally receive through ticket sales for our performances, but we’ve obviously had to

postpone our performances in March and in April, which means that ticket revenue is no longer coming in during those months. So we hope that we will encourage people to donate to CJO if they enjoy these full performances. The funds will be used not only to continue this series, but we’ll also be sharing the donations we receive with the members of the orchestra itself.” Beylotte stresses that the people who we enjoy hearing on these archival performances need our help right now more than ever. “It’s incredibly difficult for them because they were relying on these performances in addition to the other gigs they do,” she says. “If everyone who enjoyed the show donated $10, that would be incredible, and you could never see the CJO for $10 live. So I really hope that we can both bring joy to the community by releasing these performances and raise a little money to get us through these months until we’re able to get back on stage again, which we hope will be July 25.” Lewis adds that in addition to potentially helping Charleston Jazz and the musicians, the process of putting these performances online is a good way of keeping the creative juices flowing at a time when there are few other ways to do so. “We’re trying to find a way to stay active,” he says. “There’s obviously that aspect of, we’re trying to support the guys in the band, but we’re also trying to keep things together, keep moving forward, and keep being creative. We’re trying a whole bunch of things and seeing what works and doesn’t work, which is how the creative process always goes.”

Bummed you have to stay indoors and can’t see SUSTO in concert this spring? Well turn that quarantined frown upside down because SUSTO is teaming up with Stageit to livestream four shows between now and Easter. Each show will have a different theme and set list. It all started March 27, with more shows on April 4 and April 9. It will culminate in an “Easter Brunch” show at 10 a.m. on April 12. Tickets for the livestream are donationbased. Viewers can pay what they want, but the suggested price is $15. SUSTO songwriter Justin Osborne thanks his fans for their continued support during these crazy times we’ve been living in. “It’s gonna be fun to connect with y’all and I’m excited to make the most of these strange circumstances,” Osborne notes in an Instagram post announcing the shows. —Eliana Katz

NEVER BETTER POURS OUT THEIR HEAV Y HEART ON DEBUT EP

Charleston emo band Never Better released their debut EP Heavy Heart last week, striking a chord of emotional intensity and anger that feels right at this moment. The four track album, available now on Spotify, is a smattering of grunge, alt, and punk rock, with each track delivering a jarringly passionate experience, both musically and lyrically. “Each of these songs embodies a deep feeling of regret and personal discontent tied to a specific moment in my life,” says songwriter and frontman DJ Edwards. He uses adversity as a tool in his music. “Turning these dark moments into songs is both a coping mechanism for me and a way to relate to my peers,” he notes. “Oil,” the second song on the EP, employs an explosive build while still grounding itself to the classic grunge rock arrangement of the guitar and drums. “On one level, that song is about the time I let my car run out of oil on the Ravenel Bridge during rush hour on a Friday,” Edwards recalls. “On a deeper level it was even worse, because my dad has been a mechanic for decades. I had failed at the most basic maintenance task, and ruined an entire vehicle with my negligence. I had let down my father.” Heavy Heart dwells in past sadness, but remains an avenue of growth for Edwards and for his audience. It urges listeners to ask how they can change their responses to negative situations. “While most of these moments really suck, the things that we learn from them help us make better decisions,” he says. “Turning those moments into bangers, well ... that’s what Never Better is all about.” EDITOR’S NOTE: Music Editor Heath Ellison is playing guitar for Never Better’s current season of live shows. —EK

ART ROCK | Happy Sandman

FOLK | Sarah Summer Lowcountry native Sarah Summer started dabbling in video production about three years ago as a way of showcasing her exquisite original tunes. “As I was on pace to release my first EP, I wanted to be heard, which meant that I had to be seen,” she says. “I am introverted to the core but I do love the opportunity to deliver my poetry from a vantage point. Film has given me such liberty.” Though she now calls Arizona home, Summer credits her upbringing in South Carolina for her boldly creative spirit. “The culture in which I grew up was, you make the most with what you’ve got, even if it’s next to nothing, and if you don’t know how, you try until you figure out a way that works. That’s my nature.” As it happens, Summer’s new single, “Jollymonster,” holds extra-special meaning for the earthy and eclectic artist. “I was playing ukulele for my baby and sang it freestyle, exactly the way I later recorded it.” The lyrics illustrate her belief that whatever is in your heart will “stew and spill out.” This song, in particular, is “a reminder to take care with what you let in,” she says. Additionally, Summer has prepared yet another release in her stunning video series to accompany her other new song, “Side Six & Five.” The piece features Summer performing for a miniature audience of one. “It is a sweet time capsule and a very real look at my daily life in music-making. It took five takes and two naps to edit.” Summer’s latest single, “Jollymonster,” can be heard at charlestoncitypaper.com. —Kevin Wilson

“Bizzare” is probably the way one would describe Happy Sandman’s new single and music video, “Lovers Ladder.” The song emits a disturbing sound, with distorted vocals and intense guitar riffs. The video matches the song, flashing through clips of Happy Sandman, covered in clay with bright red lips and black eyes that roll back in his head as he climbs up a ladder, or lies on a pile of clay scraps. It’s unsettling to say the least. Its inspiration and meaning aren’t, however. Outside of music, Happy Sandman is a ceramicist and works on his tunes and art simultaneously at his pottery studio in Summerville. “I wanted to explore the concept of human and clay becoming one,” Sandman explains, giving the video a bit of clarity. Going into some of the artistic choices of the video, Sandman notes “the opening sequence of the music video shows me entering a machine that fires and entwines the ingredients to complete the final stage of the process.” The video, while still eerie, explores the ceramic process in a new way, with the human as the clay to be manipulated. To watch and to listen to this unique experience, look for the video on YouTube or at facebook.com/happysandman. —Eliana Katz
