Lindsey Graham, U.S. Senate power broker and Trump ally, dies at 71

By Jack O’Toole

Lindsey Olin Graham, whose soft South Carolina drawl belied a fierce ambition that carried him from sweeping the floor of his father’s small-town barroom to commanding the floor of the United States Senate, died unexpectedly on July 11. He was 71.

Graham’s office reported his death in an early morning July 12 news release, noting that he’d “passed away from a brief and sudden illness.” A preliminary report from the Washington, D.C. medical examiner’s office later indicated that Graham died from an aortic dissection — a tear in the main artery that carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body.

On July 13, S.C. Gov. Henry McMaster named Graham’s sister, Darline Graham Nordone, to complete her brother’s Senate term, which ends in January 2027. (She will be known as Darline Graham in the Senate.) A special GOP primary election will be held on Aug. 11 to select a new nominee to face general election opponents, including Democratic nominee Annie Andrews, in the fall.

Graham’s death came just one day after his return from Ukraine, his tenth trip to the embattled democracy since Russia invaded in 2022. A foreign policy hawk who was said to be Ukraine’s best friend in President Donald Trump’s inner circle, Graham used his final trip to highlight Ukraine’s wartime successes and to call for tougher U.S. sanctions on Russian oil.

Trump, who said he’d spoken with Graham in the hours before his death, was among the first to offer condolences in a 3:21 a.m. social media post, calling him “one of the greatest people and senators I have ever known.”

“He was always working, and was a true American patriot,” Trump wrote. “Lindsey will be greatly missed!!!”

Remembering Lindsey

Public condolences and remembrances poured in through the rest of the night and into the rest of Sunday, as leaders across the nation and around the world lauded the politically controversial but personally wellliked senator for his service to the nation.

Gov. Henry McMaster said he and his wife Peggy were “devastated” by the news, calling Graham a “steadfast friend” and “the fiercest of fighters for South Carolina and America.”

“We grieve with [Graham’s sister] Darline, his family and his devoted staff,” McMaster said in a release. “May God hold him gently in the palm of his hand. We shall not see his likes again.”

Meanwhile, former national Democratic Party Chairman Jaime Harrison, who ran an unsuccessful Senate campaign against Graham in 2020, added his voice to the bipartisan condolences, saying he was “deeply saddened” by Graham’s passing.

“Lindsey and I had our share of political disagree-

ments, and those differences were often significant,” Harrison said. “But today is not a day for politics. It is a day to recognize a life of public service and to extend our prayers to those who loved him.”

In Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called Graham “a beloved friend.”

“May his values and initiatives continue to guide us toward victory and peace, and may his memory forever be a blessing,” he said.

And in a social media post, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Graham was “a true defender of freedom and the values that make our world safer.”

“America and the world have lost a determined leader,” Zelensky said, noting that the two had met twice during the senator’s trip.

From poverty to power

Graham’s Ukraine visit was the final public act in a life that began in 1955 in the small Pickens County town of Central, S.C. His parents, Millie Walters and Florence James Graham, ran the Sanitary Cafe, a bar and pool hall on Main Street. The family, which later included his younger sister Darline, lived in a cramped room behind the business, Graham later said. They eventually moved into a nearby trailer.

New phone app helps motorists ‘beat the bridge’

City Paper Staff

South Carolina motorists who drive over coastal drawbridges have experienced the frustration of an unexpected delay when a bridge opens at what seems to be the most inconvenient time.

It was a frequent occurrence for Beaufort app developer Alex Holroyde who on one occasion was late picking up his four daughters from school when the Woods Memorial Bridge over the Beaufort River swung open.

In Beaufort, Holroyde said, drivers have a saying: “I got stuck by the bridge,” a span that made a cameo in the movie Forrest Gump.

Removal of human remains continues at The Citadel

By Herb Frazier

Workers at The Citadel are continuing to sift soil slowly on hot summer days to remove human remains found in possibly 54 19th century gravesites on the eastside of Johnson Hagood Stadium, according to the college.

“Our archeological consultants are carefully documenting the site, disinterring and analyzing the remains found before they are respectfully reinterred,” college spokesman Zach Watson told the Charleston City Paper. Meanwhile, the thought of Citadel football fans tailgating on land over the bones of the dead continues to infuriate Wagener Terrace resident Julie Bowling, who has spent recent years documenting the people buried in Tower Hill.

“The idea of people tailgating on top of the bodies of enslaved people next to a stadium named for a Confederate general is appalling,” she has said. “They never moved the bodies. They just erased them. And every few years, more are found.”

New drainage system led to discovery

The graves were discovered during the installation of a new drainage system beneath a new set of stands at the stadium that the city of Charleston built in 1927 on land that had served as a city-owned burial ground for nearly eight decades.

Workers were excavating the site to nearly 9 feet below sea level to install plastic chambers to hold excess water. The remains were found close to the surface,

officials said.

Brockington and Associates, a Mount Pleasant cultural resources consulting company, has so far removed the remains from about 20 graves, said Ralph Bailey, the company’s vice president, in an interview. Bailey said he expects the work to be completed by Aug. 7.

Charleston County Coroner Bobbi Jo O’Neal said that after the coroner’s office determined the presence of the remains was not the result of a crime, the investigation of the site was turned over to Brockington.

Watson said the remains are not in the area where the stands are being erected.

“[Work on] the main building and stands continues, but work on the drainage field has been adjusted to accommodate the archeologists,” Watson said.

The Citadel said it will reinter and memorialize any remains “in an expanded, protected area on the south side of the stadium,” according to a press release. “Additionally, The Citadel’s archaeological consultant assessed surrounding areas where construction activity is planned and found no evidence of additional gravesites.”

The college estimated construction would be completed before the school’s first home football game. Bailey said the recently discovered remains are possibly at the northern border of the Tower Hill Cemetery.

In the area, it is estimated that about 23,000 to 26,000 orphans, the poor, free and enslaved people, immigrants, seamen and Confederate soldiers were interred in unmarked graves at the site bounded by President, Congress and Line streets.

To fix the problem, Holroyde designed a bridge app for smart phones that warns motorists when a bridge unexpectedly pops open to allow drivers to adjust their routes. The app also displays a bridge’s scheduled openings.

The app is available in Charleston, Beaufort and Myrtle Beach. In Charleston, the app monitors the Ben Sawyer bridge to Sullivan’s Island, the Wappoo Cut drawbridge between West Ashley and James Island, and the two drawbridges along U.S. Highway 17 over the Ashley River in Charleston. In Myrtle Beach, the app provides information about the Little River, Socastee and Barefoot bridges.

The app gives more than real-time information on bridge openings, he said. The app also has weather and tide information, community events and news from the Charleston City Paper, he added.

So far, the app has 5,000 users in Beaufort, 1,300 in Charleston and 2,700 in Myrtle Beach, Holroyde said.

After Holroyde developed the app for Beaufort, he partnered with Dylan Roukous of Charleston to develop and market an app for Charleston and Myrtle Beach.

Charleston City Paper wins 18 state, national awards

The editorial board of the Charleston City Paper won first place in a national contest among independent newspapers for best editorial commentary in the country. Statehouse bureau chief Jack O’Toole picked up a third place for best short form news story on a piece about the health of local fisheries.

In three editorials scrutinizing the leadership of Charleston Mayor William Cogswell (Backroom Billy, 1/30/25; Disinfect secrecy, 3/13/25); and Probe parking payday, 8/14/25), judges for AAN Publishers wrote, “This is the mission of the local alt weekly. Hold those public officials accountable. Cuz no one else is. Hurrah for Charleston City Paper! Keep digging in on Mayor Cogswell.”

Also this month, the South Carolina Press Association announced 16 new advertising awards for the newspaper, including seven first place recognitions. Awards ranged from best ads for gifts, food and alcohol, the quarterly Dish special section and advertising campaign.

Since 2019, the newspaper has won 233 state and national awards.

“Lindsey

[Graham] remained committed to

public service and doing what he loved. He always introduced levity and brought wit to the most challenging moments. Lindsey will be missed.”

—U.S. Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., on the passing of fellow Republican U.S. Lindsey Graham on Saturday. Scott memorialized Graham as a friend who “always led with faith, family and South Carolina first” in an early morning post on X.

$606.8 million

The money directed to education in South Carolina from the S.C. Education Lottery. The number marks the second-highest amount raised since the lottery began in 2002. This year’s total fell just short of the record $607.6 million raised in 2021. The money supports K-12 public and community education programs throughout the state.

Citizens continue rallying to challenge city of Charleston’s protest ordinance

By Skyler Baldwin

Several Charleston-area residents spoke out Tuesday at a city council meeting on the municipality’s controversial First Amendment Ordinance that council passed in July 2021.

“Whether you call it peacekeeping or policing, the result is the same,” said one West Ashley resident Tuesday. “Permits for 25 people, 15-foot buffer zones and authorized arrests at peaceful protests directly limit free speech.”

Council members did not directly respond to any criticisms or demands made by the citizens during the meeting, per Mayor William Cogswell’s “rules of decorum.”

“We are here to hear you and for you to exercise your First Amendment rights,” he said during the meeting. “This is not a question-and-answer.”

Council member Mike Seeking, whose district includes parts of the peninsula, said the ordinance was challenged in April 2025 on constitutional grounds, but a district court judge found that it satisfied legal requirements.

“Peaceful protest is a cornerstone of our democracy and is encouraged within reasonable, well-defined and constitutional parameters,” he told the Charleston City Paper.

City spokeswoman Deja Knight McMillan was not available for comment. Other city officials did not respond to requests for comment prior to publication.

Four other city council members

“It’s not a log cabin like Abe Lincoln,” Graham’s law school roommate Warren Mowry told PBS in 2015. “But he grew up in a mobile home, which is South Carolina’s equivalent of it, I guess.”

Like many South Carolinians, Graham’s ticket upwards was the local public school, college at the University of South Carolina and U.S. Air Force ROTC — a path that was complicated but not interrupted by the death of his parents in the mid-1970s while he was still in school.

“Permits for 25 people, 15-foot buffer zones and authorized arrests at peaceful protests directly limit free speech.” —West Ashley resident

— Ross Appel, William Tinkler, Ben D’Allesandro and Aaron Polkey — either did not respond to requests for comment or declined to speak on the topic prior to publication.

One participant, however, said he was part of the First Amendment Restoration Campaign, a related organization to the Charleston chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). The DSA is the largest socialist organization in the U.S. He told council members that his petition to repeal the ordinance garnered more than 1,600 signatures.

“In my brief period doing political work here in the Lowcountry,” he said, “I’ve gotten a lot of ‘Nos’ while canvassing. There is one issue I’ve never received a single ‘No’ on, and that’s this petition. Every workingclass person understands that with this ordinance in place, the only people who have a voice in local politics are those with

the 1999 impeachment trial of President Bill Clinton, Graham was elected to the Senate three years later, following the retirement of U.S. Sen. Strom Thurmond.

A rocky partnership

the money or connections to hold influence and office.”

The most prickly part of the ordinance requires demonstration permits for gatherings of 25 people or more. Other parts say:

• Demonstrations cannot block vehicle or pedestrian traffic;

• Demonstrations cannot be held within 15 feet of a monument fountain, historical marker, and several other places listed in the ordinance (which can be seen below);

• Participants cannot deface or attach signs or objects on any city property statue or monument;

• It is unlawful for any participant of a demonstration to harass or intimidate any bystanders.

Authorities have also said they could reasonably restrict the time, place and manner of demonstrations to ensure public health and safety. But opponents say that’s where city officials are crossing lines. One Charleston County resident thought the issue was important enough to make a trip downtown to join the group.

“The First Amendment places a heavy burden on municipalities to ensure that time, place and manner restrictions are narrow,” said the Seabrook Island resident. “The current ordinance violates these requirements. It’s extremely restrictive in respect to place, it’s extremely arbitrary and it places unrealistic demands on citizens.”

The scooter gang seemed to have struck again. Mount Pleasant police got another call on June 25 in a continuing about a group of children knocking on doors and scooter-ing away. The caller told officers he was “concerned about his family’s safety” and that he wanted to ban the kids from the property. But, as usual, police were unable to find, catch or identify any suspects. Guess there’s a reason their modes of transport are called scooters.

Hi, it’s me again

After earning undergraduate and law degrees at USC, Graham served as an activeduty U.S. Air Force lawyer from 1982 to 1989. He then moved back to the Upstate, where he won a seat in the S.C. House in 1992. Graham followed that up two years later with a win in the U.S. House race to replace retiring Third District Democratic Rep. Butler Derrick and ride the national GOP wave that made Georgia’s Newt Gingrich the first Republican speaker of the U.S. House in 40 years. After making a national name for himself as a House prosecutor in

Though known to most Americans primarily as a TV talking head — it’s no accident that he was second only to his friend, the late Sen. John McCain, in Meet the Press appearances when he died — Graham was also a quiet master of the Senate, eventually chairing both the Judiciary and Budget committees. From those perches, Graham helped orchestrate the confirmation of hundreds of federal judges for presidents of both parties, and secured passage of Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” budget plan, which slash taxes for the wealthy, health care spending and food assistance.

But it was his sometimes rocky partnership with the equally TV-rapt Trump that dominated the final years of Graham’s professional life, leading to a decade of zigs and zags that occasionally left even his most ardent admirers wondering where his deepest principles lay:

• Was he the bipartisan deal-maker who tried to pass comprehensive immigration reform — or the hard-right restrictionist who supported Trump’s second-term crackdown?

• Was he the 2016 GOP presidential primary candidate who called Trump “unfit for office” — or the golfing buddy who later insisted “there’s a method to the madness?”

• Was he the longtime JAG Corps attorney who extolled the rule of law — or the Trump confidante who first condemned and then excused the January 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol?

And perhaps, at bottom: Was his sometimes-fawning latter-day friendship with Trump a betrayal of the ideals that first brought him to Washington — or a carefully calculated strategy to protect them?

Asked once by the journalist Mark Leibovich to explain why he always found his way back to Trump, Graham’s answer could be read either way.

“Try to be relevant,” he said.

For decades, from Central to Washington to Tel Aviv and Kyiv and beyond, he was. Graham CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4

A North Charleston woman on July 4 called city police to report her vehicle as stolen after it was towed by a local company. Police told her that was a civil matter, and there was nothing they could do. She called back later the same day, after retrieving her vehicle, to report that someone had been inside her vehicle and that her “steering wheel had been turned all the way to the left.” Those liberal miscreants!

Points for honesty

Charleston police on June 22 stopped to question a man drinking a can of beer on East Bay Street. He reportedly matched the description of a recent shoplifter from a nearby convenience store. According to a police report, they asked what he was doing, and he said, “Drinking a beer.” Police then asked if he had stolen it, and he replied, “Yes, I did.” Wow, a rare double confession. Too bad in this case, the honesty only counted toward his arrest.

McMaster missed golden opportunity on appointment to Graham’s Senate seat

outh Carolina is the birthplace of the yellow “Don’t Tread on Me” flag that shows a coiled rattlesnake ready to strike. Patriot and slaver Christopher Gadsden designed it to illustrate how the colonies would fight for independence.

But Gov. Henry McMaster missed a big opportunity to show an independent spirit this week by announcing the sister of the late U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham as his replacement. No offense to Darline Graham Nardone, but her coming service to the state until a newly elected senator is sworn in on Jan. 3, 2027, is a letdown. She’ll likely vote similarly to how her brother would have wanted or how Republican leaders steer her. South Carolinians, however, deserved more than a placeholder in this critical Washington leadership position.

What Nardone’s appointment really reflects, unfortunately, is how cowed South Carolina Republicans are by President Donald Trump. Her appointment also reflects how McMaster wanted to play it safe and keep from irritating the bully Trump.

Making a safe pick obviated the risk of a more experienced hand in one of the key political positions in the country. Had McMaster picked someone like former GOP Gov. David Beasley, who served on the world stage as Trump’s choice to head the World Food Program, or former Gov. Nikki Haley to represent the Palmetto State, he could have given a leg up to that choice in the coming Aug. 11

Republican primary for a slot on the November general election ballot.

But perhaps McMaster didn’t want to put his legacy at risk, particularly since the last time he played partisan politics in the Republican Party turned out badly after his hand-picked gubernatorial candidate, Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette, got shellacked by state Attorney General Alan Wilson last month in a GOP runoff.

Also keep in mind that making a safe pick showed something else — a general leadership weakness among South Carolina Republicans who seem to have lost the independent spirit of the Gadsden flag thanks to their sycophantic fealty to Trump and his cultish Make America Great Again nonsense.

That weakness is the antithesis of what made Lindsey Graham popular among Republican and Democratic leaders in Washington. Graham, seen in later years as too much of a toady to Trump, has been remembered as an effective, witty voice for bringing people of different views together — particularly on foreign policy — and making deals to move things forward in Washington.

Now as South Carolina heads toward what may be a second divisive political primary next month, let’s wish his sister, Darline Nardone, well as she stands in for her brother until January.

But we hope she’ll remember that her duty is to everyone in South Carolina, not just to Donald Trump.

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.

The heat is on in South Carolina, nation

By Andy Brack

With some recent heat indices at more than 110 degrees Fahrenheit along the South Carolina coast, it’s a good thing that we don’t face global warming.

That was sarcasm, if you didn’t figure it out. Seriously, even climate change deniers have to admit that something kooky is going on with the weather — from more than five dozen flooding days last year in Charleston alone to droughts and more intense hurricanes. Remember Hurricane Helene? People in the North Carolina mountains do. They continue to face flooding impacts from the 100-year storm two years later.

South Carolina’s high temperatures typically combine with lots of humidity to create cloying, damp air that is sometimes difficult to breathe. And as we all know, if you stay out in it too long, you’ll sweat like the devil. (If you stop sweating, you’re in a danger zone and might need medical help.)

In the southern California desert, however, there’s no real humidity to make it feel worse than it is. Why? Because it actually feels as bad as it is. On a recent trip this month, for example, it was 100 degrees in Palm Springs at 10 a.m. One hundred degrees! A hotel manager noted it was supposed to rise to 117 degrees later in the day. Yuck.

But instead of being a smothering wet blanket, this kind of desert heat presses against your cheeks. It burns. It dries your nostrils. It makes you fully apprecia-

tive of air-conditioning.

While in South Carolina we are accustomed to being outside in the high 90s with triple-digit heat indices, there’s little to prepare you for the blazing heat and too-bright sun in the desert. It is, quite frankly, miserable. And to everyone who says it’s a “different kind of heat” that’s not as bad because of the low humidity, spend a little time here. The heat is horrible. It’s inconceivable why people even live in the desert in July.

While high temperatures captured headlines across the state and nation, here are some other headlines that should have grabbed your attention:

Opioid deaths down in S.C. For the second consecutive year, opioid and drug overdose deaths in the Palmetto State dropped by a third from 2023 to 2024. Fentanyl, however, continues to be the leading cause of fatal overdoses with 914 of the 1,481 overdose deaths in 2024. Big reasons for the drop in overdose deaths are better education and broader availability of life-saving medications like Narcan and widespread distribution of fentanyl test strips.

Blood donations needed. Officials with the American Red Cross say it’s a vital time for blood donations across the state and nation. Why? Because in the hot months of summer, donations decline. Needed now in South Carolina: Group O blood donations. Check with your local chapter to help by giving a pint.

Data centers. South Carolina currently has 20 planned or operational data centers spread across the state, as shown in a new map published by The State newspaper. Nine are operational, two are operational and expanding, and nine more are planned. But advocates in a few counties are fighting them for how they suck away fresh water. Look for this issue to raise more of a political profile in the months to come.

Tax-free weekend. August will bring an annual gimmick — the state’s tax-free weekend in which consumers of school-related items (plus lots of other stuff where it’s hard to see a school connection) can save money. It’s a continuing gimmick because most people don’t use it, which creates inequities. But legislators keep approving it so they can have something to brag about. When: Aug. 7 to Aug. 9.

Bridge replacements. South Carolina has received $23.5 million in federal funding to help pay for 18 replacement bridges in nine counties, announced the state, which will chip in $93 million on the projects. That’s great. But remember, there still are about 2,800 bridges — yes, 2,800 — that need significant work. State lawmakers need to get more serious about fixing them.

SOLACE AFTER SERVICE

Warrior Surf Foundation helps veterans find healing in the ocean

By Jai’La Du Rousseau

Clayton Merritt was supposed to graduate in 2019 from his 12-week surf program for veterans. His mother died the same day.

After driving two hours to his hometown of Sumter, Merritt found himself overwhelmed. He turned around and drove back to Charleston to do one thing: surf.

“It brought me a lot of peace,” Merritt said.

That experience is part of why Merritt now leads Warrior Surf Foundation, a Charleston-area nonprofit that provides free surf therapy, yoga and wellness programming for veterans, active-duty service members and their immediate families.

The organization’s 12-week program combines surfing, yoga and talk therapy, with the goal of helping participants build community and develop tools to navigate the challenges that can follow military service.

Merritt first joined the program as a participant in 2019 But from 2013 to 2017, he served in the Army as a member of 11 Bravo Infantry, stationed at Fort Carson, Colo. During his service, Merritt was deployed to Afghanistan twice before separating and moving directly to Charleston, where he enrolled at the College of Charleston to study

A little distance

When a friend’s girlfriend, who ran yoga for the Warrior Surf Foundation, first invited him to try the nonprofit’s program, he declined. Then he declined again. Merritt said he wanted distance after leaving the military from anything that reminded him of the intensity associated with military culture.

“You just don’t want to be around that anymore,” Merrit said.

But she kept asking, and eventually, he showed up.

During his first surf lesson, an instructor pushed him into a wave, which he says is standard for beginner surfing. Immediately after, he paddled back out and asked if he could try catching one on his own. He did.

“I can’t really describe the feeling,” Merritt said. “It’s one of those things that has to be felt.”

He bought a surfboard on the way home. Soon, he was surfing three to four times a week.

Eventually Merritt volunteered with the organization that introduced him to the sport. He volunteered as a wellness coach and then began teaching surf lessons. By 2021, he became executive director.

Army veteran Andrew Manzi started the Warrior Surf Foundation in 2015 after returning from a tour overseas and discovering surfing to be transformative.

—Clayton Merritt

“This program has saved lives. Multiple lives. I know of a few firsthand. If they had to pay, maybe they would have done it, maybe they wouldn’t have. But this program wouldn’t have had the opportunity to save their lives.”

Saving lives

Today, the foundation aims to put 100 veterans through its full program in Folly Beach each year. It also invites 50 to 100 more veterans to Folly Beach for a condensed version of the experience.

Merritt said the program being free is a nonegotiable. He said if he had to pay when he first joined he wouldn’t have done it.

“This program has saved lives. Multiple lives,” he said. “I know of a few firsthand. If they had to pay, maybe they would have done it, maybe they wouldn’t have. But this program wouldn’t have had the opportunity to save their lives.”

Holly Hillman, a resident of Folly Beach and Navy veteran who served from 2006 to 2012, completed the Warrior Surf program in 2019. She, said the cost barrier is real for many veterans, particularly those living on disability payments and struggling to work after service.

“I do think there are some veterans that kind of have some like entitlement … especially some of the more like combat veterans where they’re like, ‘I served my country. I did all this shit,’” she said. “Also a lot of the

veterans that get out of service are dealing with severe PTSD especially. They’re living on really limited budgets,, especially if they can’t work or are struggling to work.”

She said she initially resisted joining for reasons similar to Merritt’s, but decided to attend, partly because the program was free.

“I’m a veteran, but I didn’t identify with that part of myself very much,” she said.

“Coming into a veteran organization, I was kind of like, ‘I don’t know, that’s not really my scene.’ ”

What surprised her was the camaraderie, which she said is something most vets miss from time in the service..

“Those brothers and sisters that are just their ride or die,” she said.

She said the foundation recreates that sense of connection regardless of military branch, background or experience.

Surfing, yoga, therapy

Participants who enroll in the program are required to participate in its three components: surfing, yoga and therapy. It helps the foundation to track whether its approach works.

One of the holistic approaches the foundation uses is what researchers call “blue mind,” which explores the psychological benefits associated with being near water.

Hillman said that theory along with the wellness sessions helped her shift her mindset.

“Something bad would happen and I’d be like, of course it happened to me, everything bad always happens to me,” she said. “It helped me change my mindset to: Things are going to happen, whether or not you allow them to be bad or good.”

Chris Dixon, a longtime surfer who has served on the Warrior Surf board for more than a decade, said the program gives veterans something that civilian life often does not.

“It provides a way for veterans to keep helping each other and paying it forward,” said Dixon, a former City Paper editor who lives on James Island. “And it helps put the trauma, whatever the trauma is, out of your head and move forward.”

He said the main lesson that the ocean teaches the veterans is to go with the flow.

“You can’t control the ocean any more than you can control your life,” he said.

The Warrior Surf Foundation operates as a nonprofit, sustained through donations, grants and fundraising events. But Merritt is clear that finances will not determine access.

For the year 2024, the Warrior Surf Foundation raised approximately $619,000 and reported about $576,000 in expenses.

“Whether we have zero dollars or a million dollars in the bank, we’re going to be operating,” Dixon said. “We’re never going to turn a veteran down.”

Veterans going through the program are required to participate in yoga, surfing and therapy sessions

15 spots for outdoor dining around Charleston

By Cecilia Connelly

In a city where you can be outside 12 months a year, Charlestonians love to wine and dine al fresco. From casual to fancy, you’ll find tables of all sizes tucked away on patios, decks and piazzas.

With the hot summer in full swing, here are some of the best spots around town to catch a breeze (in alphabetical order):

Alfredo’s on Folly

Located off of Folly’s bustling Center Street, Alfredo’s is a down-to-earth spot serving classic Italian dishes at lunch and dinner. The star of the show is its housemade pasta selection, where diners can build their own dishes from the variety of noodles, sauces and protein choices. Grab a cold, local craft beer to wash it all down.

Bar167

The hidden gem of the 167 restaurant group, Bar167 offers a more intimate dining experience without skipping quality. The covered terrace has bar seating and standing patio tables, and is open Monday

through Saturday. Snag an outdoor seat to enjoy a mezze plate or raw oysters, alongside a signature cocktail. Pro tip: unlike Raw 167, Bar167 takes reservations.

Bareo

Bareo, the new spot from the team behind Kultura, gets its name from the Tagalog word for neighborhood. Complete with silk lanterns and hanging tassels, the patio is intimate and packed with ambiance. Diners will find a selection of cocktails, sake and tea to accompany onigiri, dumplings and kakigori.

Basic Kitchen

This restaurant has been serving healthy, vegetable-centric dishes in a relaxed, lightfilled environment since 2017. Open daily for lunch, dinner and brunch on weekends, Basic Kitchen’s patio is a perfect place to take a break from the King Street heat and enjoy creative small plates with a cocktail or pressed juice.

Berkeley’s Adjacent to Hampton Park, Berkeley’s offers ample outdoor seating on its cov-

Bowens Island Restaurant

This world-renowned joint has been serving seafood with a view since 1946. Located just off Folly Road, the restaurant’s graffiticlad cinder blocks and salty breeze set the scene at the beloved fish camp that just might be the ultimate outdoor dining experience in Charleston.

Coda del Pesce

Serving authentic Italian dishes powered by local seafood, Coda del Pesce is a perfect spot on Isle of Palms for dinner and a front row seat to watching the waves crash on the beach. Diners can enjoy fresh seafood on the intimate outdoor deck or from behind the floor to ceiling windows facing the shore.

The Crossing

ered patio. This neighborhood spot is a reliable choice for small plates, salads and sandwiches along with an extensive wine and beer menu.

The Crossing at the new The Cooper hotel has stunning views of Charleston Harbor from its spacious back deck. Serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, the expansive menu offers a curated selection of Lowcountry classics with a Mediterranean twist.

Ellis Creek Fish Camp

Located on Harbor View Road on James Island, Ellis Creek Fish Camp has unbeatable views of the marsh and Ellis Creek. This casual restaurant is seafood-focused, but also offers items like portobello fries and a wedge salad with pimento cheese. And bring Fido: dogs are welcome and there’s a special menu for them featuring a puppaccino and a turkey dinner.

Lost Isle

It’s an experience sitting under the pines in view of the live fire at John’s Island’s Lost Isle, which only offers outdoor dining. Foodies will find a small but mighty menu, all made to order and chock-full of local ingredients along with an extensive drink menu.

MOMO

Located in North Charleston’s Riverfront Park, MOMO is open for lunch and dinner Monday through Saturday and brunch on Sunday. Snack on dill pickle dip, oyster sliders, steak frites and bites from the raw bar as you take in the beautiful Cooper River view.

The Ordinary

On Upper King Street, The Ordinary offers up “fancy seafood” in a converted bank building. The bar boasts a “Social Hour”

from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. and is a great way to enjoy the grand interior. But for those looking to enjoy those warm summer breezes, snag a table on the restaurant’s intimate patio.

Sullivan’s Fish Camp

Honoring its Lowcountry roots, Sullivan’s Fish Camp combines fish camp classics with elevated small plates accompanied by a raw bar. Diners can enjoy these dishes the way they should be: outdoors with the sea breeze floating in the air.

Xiao Bao Biscuit

This Rutledge Avenue eatery is open six days a week from 11a.m. to 10p.m. and its outdoor picnic tables are a familiar sight. The restaurant doesn’t take reservations, a welcome change of pace from Resy madness. Included as a recommendation in the 2025 Michelin Guide, Xiao Bao’s casual approach to great food highlights cuisine from Japan, Thailand and China.

The Restaurant and Caviar Bar at Zero George

At Zero George, you can book a table on the intimate bluestone patio and enjoy dining among lamplight and lush greenery. And if you’re looking for a high roller night, the Caviar Bar offers tables on the covered piazza.

A la carte

Going dark

Sechey, a bottle shop on King Street that specializes in alcohol-free wine beer and spirits and cannabis-infused drinks, is closing its local location. Owner Emily Heintz shared on Instagram that a new Charleston location may be announced soon.

What’s new

Culture

New exhibit pays tribute to Porgy and Bess

By Maura Hogan

Of the boundless treasures with origins in Folly Beach, none has radiated around the world with quite the universal appeal of Porgy and Bess. But the world may not know that the 1935 opera by George Gerswhin, which is based on the novel Porgy by Charleston author DuBose Heyward, took shape in a seaside cottage on “The Edge of America.”

Now, the Folly Beach Historical Society has opened The Porgy House: A Cottage on an Island in a Culture, a compact, temporary exhibition at the Folly Beach History Museum that sheds light on Gershwin’s transformative time on the island. There, he drew inspiration from local culture for tours-de-force compositions like the aria Summertime, recognized by Guinness World Records as the most covered song in music history.

The Porgy House

The Porgy House: A Cottage on an Island in a Culture delves into the creative confab emerging from the Folly Beach summer home of DuBose and Dorothy Heyward. The couple collaborated there with Gershwin, who had taken up quarters at a nearby, now long-gone cottage, while also working on the libretto and music for the opera in the Heyward Folly retreat.

Regina Anderson, chair of Folly Beach Historical Society, who co-curated the exhibition with board member Anne Hughes, explained the subject was on mission for the new organization, which opened in 2025. Its debut exhibition, Surfing on the Edge, is also on view in the 200-square-foot museum through Labor Day. The smallerscale Porgy House exhibit involves six display cases running through September. “It just fits in perfectly with our mission, which is to really collect and preserve and provide access to Folly’s rich history, and this is certainly a rich part of that history,” Anderson told the Charleston City Paper. For The Porgy House, which was con-

The historic Porgy House on Folly Beach is closely tied to the creation of George Gershwin’s renowned opera Porgy and Bess

ceived over the past several months, the team worked with numerous local stakeholders, including the South Carolina Historical Society, the Charleston Museum, the Gibbes Museum of Art, photographer Charles McKenzie and filmmaker Lauren Waring Douglas. She is currently at work on When Porgy Came Home, a documentary that tells the untold story of the opera.

The exhibit illuminates Gershwin’s time on Folly, where he was known to have immersed himself in the island’s culture. At the same time, the composer ventured elsewhere in the area, visiting local African American churches and gathering places to more deeply glean the rhythms and resonance of the Gullah Geechee culture of the Lowcountry.

Follywood days

“From what I understand, he actually spent two parts of two summers here… sort of soaking up the laid-back beach culture,” Anderson said, meeting locals on the beach including college-aged Abe Dumas, known locally for his role at M. Dumas and Sons clothing store on King St.

Among the artifacts in the exhibition are drawings of the house at 712 West Ashley Ave., now private property, that were executed by the American College of the Building Arts.

On loan from the S.C. Historical Society are letters between the Heywards and

Gershwin in which the composer dubs his beach locale to be “Follywood.”

A 1920s photo of DuBose Heyward, on loan from Charleston Museum, captures him on the ferry out to Folly when that was the sole mode of travel there. Photographs by Charles McKenzie chronicle the opera’s 1970 Charleston production, in which his sister Annette McKenzie Anderson performed the role of Bess.

The perennial pull of Porgy

The exhibit is another local contribution to the ongoing archiving of the opera and its ties to Charleston. The opera did not make it to a Charleston stage until 1970 due to Gershwin’s express condition that it be performed by an integrated cast to integrated audiences.

It was then presented at the Charleston Municipal Auditorium (now Charleston Gaillard Center), funded by the S.C. Tricentennial Commission, the first-ever integrated production in Charleston. Last month, it was the focus of a 2026 Spoleto Festival USA program featuring performers and other stakeholders, past and present.

Charleston-based Ranky Tank is widely credited for introducing Gullah music to audiences around the world

Ranky Tanky explores reach of Gullah on This Village

By Vincent Harris

Charleston’s Ranky Tanky has little left to prove, particularly after winning a pair of Grammy Awards and spending nearly a decade introducing Gullah music to audiences around the world.

Since forming in 2016, the quintet has built a reputation for blending the rich musical traditions of the South Carolina and Georgia Lowcountry with jazz, funk, gospel and R&B, creating a sound that feels timeless and unmistakably contemporary.

That steady artistic evolution is reflected in the band’s growing national profile, from acclaimed recordings and international touring to high-profile television appearances and collaborations with some of the country’s most respected musicians.

That makes the confidence behind its just-released album, This Village, feel earned.

This Village is not just the longest Ranky Tanky album yet, at 16 tracks, but it also features the most original material written by the band. It was even produced by drummer Quentin Baxter.

But the real statement is in the music itself. This is by far the band’s most musically expansive album. It opens with a mournful string arrangement that leads into the title track. “Rejoice” is pure gospel joy. “Be Alright” brings reggae rhythms into the mix. And “Lie Down,” featuring some seriously filthy guitar from Clay

Ross, is a flat-out rock song.

The lyrical content is equally compelling. On the title track and lead single, vocalist

Quiana Parler and singer-trumpeter

Charlton Singleton, who wrote the song, deliver a heartfelt meditation on family, community and the strength that comes from neighbors lifting one another up. It’s a fitting mission statement for a band that has long celebrated the shared traditions and enduring spirit of Gullah culture.

“I originally wrote it about my grandparents and the role that the older folks in the Gullah community have within their community on the island,” Singleton said in a recent interview with the Charleston City Paper. “I was reflecting on how that was starting to happen with my parents. But the song also talks about the joy and love and peace that is in these Gullah neighborhoods.”

Parler added, “You don’t have to be related to be family. And that goes back to having strong community leadership, respect and love.

“It’s like the Gullah people did when they were brought here,” she said. “They didn’t know each other, and they had a language barrier. But there was still that foundation of the rhythm.”

The band’s new album is also its most collaborative. For the first time, the group, which also includes bassist Kevin Hamilton, brought in outside musicians and production staff, including vocalist Lisa Fischer (The Rolling Stones), Grammy-winning engineer Vance Powell (Chris Stapleton, Jack White) and Charleston musician Demetrius Doctor, who played piano and provided the string arrangement on the title track.

“We reached outside of our realm and included others to create. Why not reach back into our community, or our own village?” —Quiana Parler

“We featured some amazing artists,” Parler said. “We reached outside of our realm and included others to create. Why not reach back into our community, or our own village?”

As for the stylistic variety on This Village, Singleton sees it as a continued exploration of the reach of Gullah music.

“Our narrative has always been that Gullah music has been around for centuries. So with these genres that I call ‘new,’ whether it’s bluegrass or blues, rock, R&B or jazz, you can find Gullah in those things as opposed to the other way around. So yes, the album is eclectic, but I think that’s just the beauty of the span of Gullah music.”

Now that the album is out, Singleton is ready to share it with live audiences. He said the next step for Ranky Tanky is a lot of touring.

“Everybody looks forward to going back out on the road,” he said. “Everybody looks forward to having people check out something new. There are a lot of songs on the album that people haven’t heard, so we’re excited for people to hear them.”

SC Bar No.: 78228

Attorney for Condemnor February 28, 2025

St. George, South Carolina

ARIES (March 21-April 19): In honor of the intensive homecoming phase of your astrological cycle, I have homework for you. 1. Make a prediction about how old you will be when you know precisely who you are. 2. Forecast the day when you will look in the mirror and recognize your face as an intricate portrait of every experience you have ever loved. 3. Imagine the dawn when the boundary between your own longing and life’s longing will dissolve, revealing they’ve always been the same current. 4. Predict when your heart will be as wild and free and brave as you have always wanted it to be.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Ornithologists studying migration know that some birds don’t fly directly to their destination. They follow “leading lines.” These are geographical features like coastlines and mountain ranges that provide orientation. Even when this means taking a longer route, the certainty of having a guiding landmark outweighs the efficiency of a straight line across nondescript terrain. I recommend the birds’ approach to you in the coming weeks, Taurus. Follow your own leading lines: practices and intuitions that provide lucid orientation even when they don’t offer shortcuts. The indirect path offers the surety you need.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): What’s an important truth you keep forgetting about? Maybe it’s a promise you once made to yourself, or an understanding that your younger self knew, or a wisdom your body keeps trying to communicate while your mind ignores it. What truth returns again and again in different guises: through synchronicities, seemingly random comments from friends, recurring dreams, or the same lesson repeating in new situations? What crucial insights about life do you remember during crisis or ecstasy, only to abandon them once normalcy returns? Now is a favorable time to fully recover this lesson and install it firmly at the heart of your life.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Make a list of your five greatest pleasures. These are experiences that stir your senses, steady your pulse and remind you why love being alive. Write them down as if they were sacred prayers. Sing a spontaneous song of praise of them. Then set out on a quest to discover pleasure number six. This is a delight you have never tasted, touched, or imagined before. Maybe it will come from saying yes to a possibility you usually decline. Treat this experiment as a form of worship and a way to boost your devotion to your healing life force.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): According to neuroscientists, the “default mode network” is the area of your brain that lights up when you’re daydreaming, drifting through thoughts and feelings, and letting your imagination roam around. This is when your deep self does crucial work: weaving memories into stories, making creative connections, rehearsing possible futures and forging your sense of identity. I mention this, Leo, because the coming days will be prime time for you to indulge lavishly in this healing and restorative activity. Don’t let a task-obsessed world shame you out of your reveries. Your genius will bloom from their slowly swirling flow.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Here are three gentle nudges: 1. One of your trusty tools or assets still seems to be working fine, but I suggest you look into the possibility that it will soon need repair. 2. Unless you act proactively to ease the strain on your system, a mini-breakdown could be on the horizon. 3. The monster hiding in your closet is hibernating, which makes this the perfect time to summon an exorcist before it rouses. Here’s the very good news, dear Virgo: Because you are reading this oracle, you are now armed with all you need to stave off turmoil and head in the direction of an exciting renaissance.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Researchers who study improvisational jazz have found that master musicians often anticipate each other’s ideas milliseconds before anyone actually plays the notes. Their brains become exquisitely synchronized through deep listening rather than rigid planning. Maybe more than any other sign, you Libras possess a similar aptitude in managing your intimate

alliances and social connections. In the coming weeks, this superpower will be even more necessary and available than usual. I’ll provide a reminder: Pay less attention to what people claim to mean and more attention to the rhythms beneath their words. Let your intuition guide you. The subtly shared timing will generate elegant cooperation.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “It’s bad luck to be superstitious!” is a delightful paradox that I enjoy playing with. It makes fun of our tendency to believe that invisible forces are constantly keeping score on our behavior. On one level, the phrase pokes at the way superstition multiplies anxiety instead of easing it. If you really believed it’s bad luck to be superstitious, then your belief about bad luck would itself be a superstition. So you’d have to avoid the very thinking pattern you’re using to feel safer. It exposes how easily the mind can tie itself in knots trying to control the uncontrollable. On another level, “it’s bad luck to be superstitious” is an invitation to examine which of your little rituals are entertaining and nourishing and which are cages. Keeping a lucky stone in your pocket is fine if it amuses you, but believing you’re doomed if you don’t carry the stone isn’t so fine. My advice: Notice when your charm or taboo is no longer a quirky companion, but starts being a tyrant that shrinks your freedom.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Are you the type of Sagittarius who pushes open doors with “pull” signs on them? Do you get a secret kick out of opening boxes from the end that says “open other side”? Maybe you even yack on your phone in designated quiet zones. If so, I’d like to suggest channeling your rebellious spark into grander acts. In the weeks ahead, you will be carrying some potent renegade energy. Used wisely, your radiant defiance could topple a stagnant situation that’s overdue for change.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Many healers favor the slow-and-steady path. They often meet with people once a week, trusting that even stubborn issues must be unwoven with patience and gentleness. But there are also bold experimenters who work differently. I know an acupuncturist who invites clients to live at her clinic for six days straight, offering a new treatment every two hours during the waking hours. She creates a healing immersion chamber. That’s the spirit I recommend for you in the coming weeks, Capricorn. You’re at the threshold of resolving a long-standing imbalance. What will serve you best isn’t dabbling at it but offering it focused, sustained, wholehearted attention until the shift activates.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You can refresh and boost your ambition if you give it a firm, precise adjustment sometime soon. Your raw vitality will surge back if you refrain from indulging in a careless habit that has been draining it. Your willpower and determination have been weakened by the fallout from an old misstep, but you now have the clarity needed to repair that error. Your libidinous energy is not as clear and potent as it could be, but it will become so once you get more honest about what truly excites you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You’re like an arrow that has been shot from a bow and is threequarters of the way to the target. You’re a delicious meal still simmering on the stove, or a pregnancy at seven months, or the last two weeks before a major election. When I tuned my inner vision to you, I glimpsed a honeybee wriggling a dance to show its coworkers where a stand of blooming lilac awaits. Have you ever been on the verge of speaking a new language with ease? That’s where you are now, Pisces: just before true fluency clicks.
