South Carolina dodged a bullet for midterm elections, officials say

News 09.18.2026

By Jack O’Toole, Statehouse bureau

The long-simmering fight over voting in this fall’s midterm elections came to a rolling boil this week when the U.S. Supreme Court effectively killed President Trump’s plan to give the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) unprecedented control over mail-in ballots in all 50 states. Trump condemned the decision in a Tuesday social media post, saying “the Supreme Court has really let our country down.” “It is a big loss for Republicans, and America itself, and makes cheating by the radical left ‘Dumocrats’ on mail-in ballots a much easier thing to do,” Trump wrote. “And now they have an open field to do so!” But according to voting advocates, the ruling prevented a last-minute breakdown in the absentee voting process here in the Palmetto State and around the country. “We dodged a huge bullet,” said S.C. League of Women Voters Vice President Lynn Teague, whose national organization was one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit. “It was mechanically impossible to put in place reliably. All it would have done is create chaos.” Among the concerns about Trump’s plan: the short window of time that states had to get vote-by-mail envelopes approved by the USPS, and the requirement that election officials upload information about all voters receiving absentee ballots to a federal website that’s still under construction. “All the evidence, including from a Postal Service whistleblower, is that it would have been a catastrophe,” Teague said. Wide-scale cheating claims ‘unfounded’ in S.C.

Despite Trump’s unsubstantiated claims of widespread “cheating,” there’s significant evidence that South Carolina elections are clean and well run, starting with a top-tobottom 2024 review by the state Legislative Audit Council.

The bottom line?

“We did not find a material problem with ineligible individuals voting,” the report stated, while noting that a handful of individual cases existed. “We also found no incidences where non-U.S. citizens with state IDs or driver’s licenses had voted.” Nevertheless, when former Rep. Adam Morgan, R-Greenville, then chairman of the S.C. Freedom Caucus, suggested that state election officials were registering illegal voters, Gov. Henry McMaster directed the State Law Enforcement Division to investigate. And once again, the review produced a clean bill of health for the state’s election system. “The report confirms the integrity of South Carolina’s voter registration system,” McMaster said of the report, which found the allegation to be unfounded. “Agencies are properly complying with state and federal voter registration laws, and no evidence of unlawful activity was found.”

‘Safe and secure’

Charleston Democratic Sen. Ed Sutton told the Charleston City Paper he has “confidence” in S.C. elections, despite the normal errors that would be expected of any system with millions of interactions. “I feel from all the conversations I’ve had

that the professionals are still in charge, both here in Charleston and at the state level,” Sutton said. Still, Sutton said, he’s concerned that further Trump administration actions, such as demands for state-level voter data and the use of federal “monitors” in some areas, could suppress turnout this fall by intimidating, or just plain confusing, many voters. “There are people at the federal level who’ve made the calculation that the less people who vote in this election, the better it is for Donald Trump,” Sutton said. “So you’ve got to show up, vote, and make your voice heard.” ACLU of S.C. spokesman Paul Bowers described similar concerns, but also seemed to share Sutton’s larger view of the state’s election process. “We can’t predict the future, but we can say that by and large, our elections here have been safe and secure,” Bowers said. “For all our problems, our elections are well run.” But, he said, if voters do have problems on election day, they should call the election protection hotline at 866-OUR-VOTE (866-687-8683). “The problems we hear about most often are not at the level of national conspiracies,” he said. “They’re local issues and they can be serious, but they can usually be resolved.”

‘Multiple levels of security in place’

With the vote-by-mail question now settled, election officials stressed the security of S.C.’s existing absentee voting system. “I want to make sure voters know they can trust the election process here in South Carolina and in Charleston,” said CONTINUED ON PAGE 8

The Emanuel Nine Memorial, which organizers say is a tribute to the resilience of the congregation and Charleston community, will include a “Fountain of Grace” as well as fellowship benches and a cross. It will offer a permanent place for remembrance, reflection and education. The Fountain of Grace has inscriptions of the names of the nine people killed in the tragedy that made global headlines (in alphabetical order): The Rev. Sharonda Coleman-Singleton, Cynthia Graham Hurd, Ethel Lee Lance, Susie Jackson, the Rev. DePayne Middleton-Doctor, the Rev. and S.C. Sen. Clementa Pinckney, Tywanza Sanders and the Rev. Daniel L.

New ACLU report is critical of S.C. juvenile justice system By Brooke Babbit

Child advocates say the South Carolina juvenile justice system is failing the children who it is supposed to rehabilitate. In a September 2026 report, Youth Behind the Fence, the American Civil Liberties Union of South Carolina (ACLUSC) said children enter a state juvenile justice system marked by racial inequalities, lengthy stays in detention and troubling conditions that can deepen the trauma many youths already shoulder. “Some of these kids had to become tough,” said Robin Taylor, a former mental health professional at the S.C. Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ), said in the report. “We made them the way that they are.” Meanwhile Major Kieviet Driskell, a juvenile detention officer with the Charleston County Sheriff’s Office, echoed at least one concern she had, although she added that she had not read the report. She said the biggest change she would make would be to reduce how long young people spend in the system. “Sometimes they have programs, but it’s not applicable to all children, so they spend a lot of time in a detention center when they don’t really have to be in a detention center,” she said. “They become worse off than they came in because they begin to pick up other bad habits. They begin to associate with other children who may have been in trouble.” Driskell said her facility tries to look beyond a child’s offense to understand what may be happening at home and connect families with resources when they need help. South Carolina is the only state in the nation that sends minors into its juvenile justice system solely for “status offenses” — actions that are only considered illegal due to their age. Status offenses include running away, truancy and, in one case documented by the ACLUSC, going to an R-rated movie. For Paul Bowers, the ACLUSC’s communications director, these findings raise questions about whether the system is fulfilling its purpose. “If a kid goes in there for help because a family court judge determined that they need rehabilitation, and instead they get physically hurt or attacked or become so isolated that they become suicidal, then the system is actively harming those kids,” he said.

Lasting impacts

Serious concerns go beyond what happens while a youth is behind the fence, Bowers said. Many young people entering the agency’s custody are already struggling with trauma or mental health challenges. Advocates say their time in the system can make those struggles even worse. Aleksandra Chauhan, an attorney who

A new 35-page report highlights challenges in the state’s juvenile justice system has represented children involved with the department, said she has seen that impact firsthand. “I have had children over there that went in without post-traumatic stress syndrome and left with severe PTSD,” Chauhan told the Charleston City Paper. “If DJJ was a parent, the judge would have taken their parental rights away,” she added in a Sept. 10 press conference. Mental health care is not the only issue raised in the 35-page report. The numbers also show a large racial gap in who ends up in detention. Black children make up roughly 28% of South Carolina’s youth population but accounted for more than 75% of children detained by the Department of Juvenile Justice in fiscal year 2025, according to the report. Chauhan said most status offences are disproportionately aimed at Black children, which reflects the adultification of them. “If [law enforcement] looks at a 13-yearold Black child, they’ll consider them to be 16-year-old,” Chauhan said at the Sept. 10 press conference. “When they look at a White child who’s that age, they still treat them as their little children, and they apply different measures to them.”

Finding a path forward

Jace Woodrum, executive director of the ACLU of South Carolina, said the responsibility for changing the system extends to state lawmakers. “We are taking childhood away from these young people, because we can’t figure out how to support them without locking them up,” Woodrum said. “I mean, that is a failure of the state.” Woodrum said state legislators need to look past detention centers and put more resources into place that can help the children in home environments before they are institutionalized in the juvenile justice system.

Saving pollinators has small wins, but honeybee losses remain high By Skyler Baldwin Honeybees are the poster-child of pollination and for good reason. Honeybees contribute to about a third of the fruits and vegetables that end up on people’s plates and help to pollinate about 80% of the United States’ flowering crops. Over the last several years,conservation efforts have focused largely on preserving a steadily declining population of bees. The biggest threats include invasive pests, growing pesticide use, emerging diseases and habitat loss. “We’re seeing massive overdevelopment,” said backyard Southern beekeeper-turnedconservationist Danielle Brooks. “Companies come in and plow down all these places, and yay for economic growth, I guess, but we’re not replacing these habitats. And our pollinators are really struggling.” Brooks, founder of Honey Truck, said to be the nation’s premier food truck specializing in natural honey. While based in St. Augustine Fla., she spends a lot of her time traveling around the Southeast educating people about the important role pollinators play in American agriculture. Interestingly, the challenges that bees face in coastal St. Augustine are similar to what native bees in South Carolina’s Lowcountry face, too. “Natural forages are disappearing, native habitats are being removed, and colonies are generally weakening as we enter the fall season,” she said. “Generally speaking, queens aren’t as healthy as they used to be, and new pesticides are becoming problems.”

Despite numerous challenges facing pollinator populations, nationwide conservation efforts appear to be helping. According to data from the annual U.S. Beekeeping

Survey, beekeepers are seeing declining honeybee losses — the number of bees in a colony that die prematurely. Honeybee losses came in at 39.9% in colonies for April 2025 to 2026, down from a record-setting 55.6% the previous year. A total of 2,327 beekeepers provided responses from across the nation, covering a collective 318,493 colonies out of the 2.41 million honey-producing colonies across the country. And while the most recent downward trend is a good thing, losses are still a big concern to beekeepers. “While annual losses were lower than those recorded during the previous two years, they still remained high, with American beekeeping operations losing approximately 40% of their colonies on average,” the report said. And unfortunately, losses are even worse for backyard beekeepers and hobbyists, compared to professional operations, which is a shift in the pattern from previous years. Backyard beekeepers saw 54.8% colony loss between 2025 and 2026, compared to 38.7% loss by commercial beekeepers.

sessions, after-school programs and support groups for families. Bowers pointed to a recent bill, H. 3655, as an attempt to change how S.C. handles children charged with status offenses. The bill would have limited how long those children could be held in detention. It was one of several juvenile justice reform bills introduced during the 2025-2026 legislative session but failed to pass before the session ended.

South Carolina is home to more than 400 species of native bees, including bumblebees, honeybees, carpenter bees and more. Most of them are solitary, burrowing species, as opposed to the colony-building honeybees. Florida beekeeper and conservation educator Danielle Brooks travels the Southeast teaching people about the importance of preserving native bee populations and pollinators. She partners with the University of Florida’s Master Craftsman Beekeeper Program to bring awareness to schools and communities. Brooks said a lot of the teaching she does focuses on what the average person can do in their own backyard to help pollinators. These options range from homemade habitats built from bamboo planted in gardens to encouraging bees to nest away from their people’s homes without harming them. “When I educate children, I go into their schools and talk about how we can help the bees by making habitats,” Brooks said. “That graduates when I talk to adults. ‘I have these bees boring into my nice wood deck,’ they tell me. So instead of creating a trap that kills pollinators, let’s build them a new place to go.” Combatting habitat loss is something that starts on the individual level, too, she said. Supporting local plant nurseries instead of large-scale operations can lead to smaller habitat loss over time. Plus, native plants are better for pollinators than imported trees and flowers that don’t generally grow in the same environment. —Skyler Baldwin

Second, if you have any questions about the process, contact the commission directly or visit the commission website. “Don’t go to Facebook,” Cramer said. And finally, if you still have concerns about the process, he offered a simple suggestion. “Elections are at a point now where people have questions, and I really would ask that people consider being a poll worker,” Cramer said. “That’s the best way to see the safeguards that are in place.” He added, “We’re always recruiting poll workers for our elections, and we’d love for people to be a part of that process.”

Three people on Aug. 28 reportedly dined and dashed from a Rivers Avenue Chinese buffet without paying, North Charleston police reported. Employees said the trio sat and ate before suddenly exclaiming that they didn’t like the food. And then they fled, leaving the restaurant with what was essentially a doggie bag of an unpaid tab. There’s a lot here with which we don’t agree — the stealing, the nefarious sneaking and, most of all, saying you didn’t like the food at a Chinese buffet. You know it was good. What does it take? Mount Pleasant police on Aug. 28 stopped a vehicle with no license plate that was traveling on the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge. When the driver pulled over, he also told officers he didn’t have his license on him and that it was currently suspended. He also admitted to lying to officers about where he was going. Despite the suspicious circumstances and law violations, police let him off with a warning — and had his passenger take the wheel. If we can’t have it … Charleston police on Aug. 19 received a complaint from the owners of a downtown funeral home after an evicted renter allegedly stole door handles and light fixtures from the building. Two air conditioning units were also missing. A technician found that drain lines and copper wires were cut. Note: Someone send this report to our landlord, please. See, we aren’t so bad after all.

EDITORIAL

Congress must step up to regulate AI A

rtificial intelligence seems to be the high-fructose corn syrup and Red Dye No. 3 of today’s technology. Companies are in such a rush to develop the newest shiny thing involving AI that they seem to ignore increasing moral and practical warnings of potential downsides of the technologies. Instead of worrying about the negative effects of AI on children and humankind, tech bros are obsessed about being first in line to cash in. AI is moving at such a frightening pace that regular people are smart to be worried. It’s also time for people to insist that the government step away from its laissez-faire treatment of the industry. Federal and state lawmakers should regulate it, slow down its development and make sure applications are for the common good, not something that can metastasize into an untamed digital beast to make humans unnecessary. Harvard historian and New Yorker staff writer Jill Lapore was in town recently hawking her new book, “The Rise and Fall of the Artificial State.” And what she has concluded about artificial intelligence is scary as hell — if it is left to flourish without proper oversight. Already, she told a crowd at the Gaillard Center, there are more bots in cyberspace than humans on earth. She essentially said tech companies today have turned the promise of the Internet to democratize society with buckets of information so citizens can be better informed into little more than daily online popularity contests fed by influencers and bots to generate clicks for money. “I don’t think that I should ask Claude to name my new puppy,” Lapore suggested. People today are rightly worried about data centers fueling more AI to extract our humanity, she said. What needs to happen, she stressed, was that the country needs new guardrails on AI technologies and applications — just like

it created moral frameworks in global society for chemical weapons after World War I and for nuclear weapons after World War II. Now, there need to be clear lines in the sand drawn to keep the good opportunities for AI available, but to ward off nefarious uses that will harm humans. Congress has been mostly on the sidelines about ways to control AI, but conversations are starting to happen now that people are waking up on environmental, social and other threats posed by the explosion of planned data centers. U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy, the Connecticut Democrat in town recently to talk about his book, Crisis of the Common Good, pushed four big ideas in a call to action on ways “to protect our spiritual health from poisonous technology: Restrict children’s use of social media and artificial intelligence products like friendship bots. A vast majority of Americans want safeguards for kids, he wrote. Hold social media companies liable for harms they knowingly impose on users. The first step: Update the 1996 Communications Decency Act. Regulate AI-generated video and audio content — and make AI companies pay for content their models train on. Put fees on data center construction so AI companies pay true, full costs of processing AI data. The midterm elections are just around the corner. Let’s make sure the next Congress focuses on AI regulation, not more partisanship.

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 infra structure and make smart climate change decisions about develop ment, 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.

Take President Donald Trump at his word — act like he’s on the ballot during the midterm elections. It will help America become stronger.

If people remember that he’s on the ballot through a bunch of weak surrogates, then he should get a booming wake-up call at the twilight of his miserable political career. When millions of people in the November midterm elections vote to flip Congress to Democratic control, perhaps he’ll finally understand people are tired of his continuing shenanigans. And what may be remembered as the straw that broke the back of infatuation with the orange camel? His arrogant Sept. 9 proposal for a $5,000 “dividend” payment to persuade American adults to vote Republican in November. It’s nothing more than a televised bribe – the kind of offer specifically prohibited by federal law (Title 18, Section 597). Former Republican S.C. Gov. and Congressman Mark Sanford of Mount Pleasant said Sept. 11 that what Trump was proposing was just plain sick. Sanford, a fiscal hawk, knows paying $5,000 to 270 million American adults would add a walloping $1.2 trillion to the budget. “Totally a bribe when we are borrowing 26 cents on A come-uppance every federal dollar we spend,” Sanford said in an early morning text. “It’s generational robbery and when the and return to sanity history books write on this, it will be seen for what it is just two months is — financial recklessness at new levels, codification of government-sponsored inequity and the attempt to away as waves of just make it through the next two years without the mad and thoughtful roof caving in. American voters “This is an attempt at a calm before the storm of what’s coming financially and it won’t work.” from Texas to Sanford also didn’t mince words about Minnesota to Maine Republicans who enable the Trump bribe: “That Republicans would put up with this and not decry it pull levers to bypass is also sick.” the GOP. What’s really dangerous about the kind of rhetoric that Trump is using — and you should realize that he has no intention of paying the bribe he’s offering because Congress would have to enable that — is that he continues to degrade the country’s moral fiber. This man who holds Bibles upside-down, doesn’t go to church, criticizes respected religious leaders, continuously lies and intentionally inflicts emotional distress on a nation is a foundational cause of America’s strength being rotted away from the inside. When others see him get away with rhetoric that pushes crippling proposals, they too go in for games of one-upsmanship. And the once-strong United States continues a downward spiral. But a come-uppance and return to sanity is just two months away as waves of mad and thoughtful American voters from Texas Andy Brack to Minnesota to Maine pull levers to bypass the GOP. is editor and Maybe only then will Trump take off the partisan blinders and publisher of understand how frustrated people are with his truculent, nasty, Charleston narcissistic governing style.

Yes, remember that Donald Trump is actually on the ballot in November in the candidacies of a bunch of surrogates and enablers from sea to shining sea. Absolute corruption is anti-democratic and something for which he and his GOP toadies must be held accountable.

OPINION

Charleston should dump law that criminalizes peaceful protest By Bonnie Cleaveland and Sam Carroll The city of Charleston in July 2021 adopted its First Amendment Demonstration Ordinance without public comment. It requires police permission for a demonstration of 25 people or more. Violating it — or simply proceeding without a permit — is a criminal offense carrying up to $500 in fines or 30 days in jail. And that’s wrong. It violates the right to peaceably assemble as guaranteed by our founders. Mayor William Cogswell, Police Chief Chito Walker and members of city council argue the ordinance is vital for public safety. We disagree. Charleston already has laws on the books against blocking traffic, vandalism, harassment and disorderly conduct. Those laws apply to everyone, whether they’re at a protest or a farmers market. Unfortunately, this ordinance creates a parallel enforcement system that applies only to people who are trying to exercise their First Amendment rights. Charleston’s chief of police is the sole decision-maker. The ordinance arms him with vague standards and complete authority to deny or modify demonstration permits. Because police behavior is frequently the subject of protests, they cannot be fair arbiters of “acceptable protest.”

There’s no negotiation allowed under the ordinance; the police offer a fiat instruction to conduct any protest as they’ve ordered. For example, the city finances, maintains and patrols Marion Square, Charleston’s center of civic life. Despite its position as a quintessential public forum, police move requests for Marion Square to outof-the-way places like Hampton Park or Brittlebank Park. The ordinance allows the city to require a Special Events Permit “when a request is made to reserve a particular public area for use” or “when frequent requests are made for a particular public area.” They seem to apply this vague language to Marion Square. The special events process creates insurmountable time and financial barriers for everyday people simply trying to assemble and express their opinions. Denials and onerous permitting schemes have led organizers to move demonstrations out of the city entirely. That’s wrong. Problems with the ordinance aren’t only in the permitting stage. On the day of a protest, police can revoke the permit the moment any participant allegedly violates any provision — however minor, such as standing too near a fountain, rendering the

entire gathering immediately unlawful. Every attendee is then arrestable. In October 2024, officers told demonstrators on camera that their gathering was lawful, then arrested two of them anyway. The city of Charleston apparently could not defend the arrests and the prosecutions were later dropped. But damage was done. The people were detained, cited and forced to navigate repeated delays in their criminal case. The demonstrators had to hire lawyers and endured months of stress. That’s unconscionable. America’s First Amendment doesn’t just protect comfortable speech. It protects speech that challenges authority and stirs people to anger. When the government requires advance permission before exercising fundamental rights, that’s called prior restraint, and the U.S. Constitution demands strict safeguards. Standards for approval and denial must be narrow, objective and clear — not left to a sole official’s judgment. The process must be fast enough that a decision comes before the speech becomes irrelevant. And if the government wants to stop an event, the burden must be on the government to go to court — not on the organizer to prove they deserve to be heard.

The city’s Public Safety Committee is currently reviewing the ordinance, and we seek a full repeal. The problem is its essence — a police-administered permission system for political speech with few objective standards, no timely review and unequal application. Peaceful protests should not carry the threat of arrest. Furthermore, our chief of police must not be the arbiter of what’s acceptable speech. The city of Charleston’s demonstration ordinance doesn’t facilitate public safety; it only regulates protected speech and assembly. The United States Supreme Court said in 1969 that a person faced with an unconstitutional permit requirement may ignore it and exercise their constitutional rights anyway. Charlestonians shouldn’t have to make that choice. Repeal the ordinance. Activists Bonnie Cleaveland and Sam Carroll, both of Charleston, offered this commentary after consultation with the First Amendment Restoration Campaign of Charleston Democratic Socialists of America, Everyday People, 50501 Charleston, Indivisible Charleston and the Secular Humanists of the Lowcountry.

Rice cultivation and cuisine

A guide to Charleston’s cultural heritage for newcomers By Maura hogan

If you’ve just removed the real estate sign from the front of your new Charleston home, you’re a bona fide “comeya,” to borrow a popular Gullah assessment of recent arrivals. And it means you have some catching up to do. There are, after all, more than three and a half centuries of local culture and traditions to the Charleston area, which gives serious legs to the much-bandied hashtag “If you know, you know.” And if you’re a “beenya,” the Gullah term for families having been around a century or so, we hope you’ll appreciate this roundup of 25 need-to-know influences that sprung in Charleston, and as often influenced culture throughout the country. Because we know you will want to know.

When 17th-century settlers crossed the Atlantic Ocean, they were all about agriculture, determining rice best suited the conditions. It became the center of its agricultural industry, and the base of its cuisine.

Historic tourism

With all its historic riches, Charleston in the early 20th century began highlighting its architecture and centuries-old history as a tourist attraction well before other American destinations. Today, history — the ante-Revelutionary War-bellum and the ante-Civil War-bellum — remains among the main reasons visitors are drawn to the city.

Charleston Renaissance Ranky Tanky Provided

A post-Reconstruction Charleston found its mojo when artists like Alice Ravenel Huger Smith, writers like DuBose Heyward, preservationists and others used the city as its muse. From 1915 to 1940, the so-called Charleston Renaissance beguiled visitors in droves to see for themselves.

Gullah culture

Enslaved West Africans brought their culture to the Sea Islands, and it has abided today in Charleston in language, music, practices, and of course, artisan hallmarks like the signature sweetgrass baskets. In recent years, the Grammy Award-winning group Ranky Tanky has amplified Gullah on the international stage.

Pronunciations

When it comes to saying a name right, it’s best not to rely on assumptions. Some streets to consider: Charlestonians know that Huger Street sounds like U-gee, Legare is Le-GREE and Vanderhorst is van-DROSS.

Since the Battle of Sullivan’s Island, military innovation has been a hallmark of the region. Another revolutionary, Francis Marion, also known as the Swamp Fox, famously used guerilla tactics to attack and escape capture, often hiding in the swamps. During the Civil War, the Confederate submarine H.L. Hunley was the first to sink an enemy ship.

Pre-Civil War nullification crisis

Before the start of the Civil War, South Carolina was a key player in splitting country, powering the secessionist movement with the Ordinance of Nullification that declared the tariffs of 1828 and 1832 null and void within the state, launching the nullification crisis. A generation later, South Carolina became the first state to secede and fire the first shots of the war in which 1.5 million people were killed, wounded, missing, captured or sickened.

Civil rights leader Septima P. Clark helped Black adults attain basic literacy to pass discriminatory voting literacy tests.

Barbecue

South Carolinians take their barbecue seriously, including its sauces. It’s home to four styles: mustard; vinegar; light tomato and heavy tomato, which can be more or less tied to different parts of the state.

Golf

America’s perennially popular game of golf got its stateside start in downtown Charleston. In 1786, the game was first played at Harleston Green, between Calhoun and Beaufain streets, by way of South Carolina Golf Club with equipment imported from Scotland.

Preservation and beautification

A post-Reconstruction Charleston benefited from a focused gussying-up, thanks to the 1920 establishment of the pioneering Society for the Preservation of Old Dwellings, now the Preservation Society of Charleston, and the 1922 founding of Garden Club of Charleston, both still going strong. In 1947, Historic Charleston Foundation joined the effort. For more fun facts about Charleston, check out the City Paper’s 350 Facts about Charleston: charlestonfacts.com.

Old World tavern Reenie’s to open in Hanahan

Cuisine 09.18.2026

By Becky Lacey

Chef Mark Bolchoz is building a restaurant empire under his Semper Elevatum Hospitality umbrella. Along with wife Ariana, he opened Cane Pazzo in June 2025, the best new restaurant in City Paper’s 2026 Best of Charleston awards. In mid-November 2026, Bolchoz will open Reenie’s, an oldworld tavern in the former Dashi space at 1262 Remount Road. The new restaurant will marry traditions of the Lowcountry with those of the west coast of Ireland. The name honors Bolchoz’s grandmother Maureen CalderBolchoz, the woman behind the menu at Mike Calder’s, a muchloved Irish pub that was a Charleston institution through the early 2000’s. While Calder’s Bolchoz had more of a deli feel than Reenie’s will, Calder-Bolchoz’s ethos will inform everything at the new spot, her grandson said. “Everything she cooked was delicious,” Bolchoz said. “I don’t know that we’ll always

have something that was on Calder’s menu, but we’ll always be inspired by it. Good food done very well and simply: I think that it will be a guiding principle for us.” The restaurant will center around a wood-fired hearth with an Argentinianstyle grill and will offer everything from seafood to charcuterie. As part of a renovation, the building’s façade will be redone, and the team is working with Berkeley County officials to fix drainage issues and repave the site’s notoriously bad parking lot. “As far as community service level is concerned, we’re going all-in to make sure that this is a building that will inspire other people to pick up a property on Remount and bring something else to this thriving, growing community,” the chef said.

The team, the menu, the space

Bolchoz’s brother Vincent Bolchoz — an alum of the Beacon in Jupiter, Fla., and Quality Eats Steakhouse in New York City — will lead the front of house as general manager. Denton Taylor will serve as chef de cuisine, bringing with him experience in kitchens like Momofuku in

The chicken liver mousse toast (left) and tavern burger (above) are expressions of Reenie’s whole animal butchery program Washington, D.C., Blackberry Mountain in the Tennessee mountains and Nashville’s Rolf and Daughters, where he led fermentation and preservation. Taylor came to Charleston via the Ordinary before joining Bolchoz at Cane Pazzo. The menu at Reenie’s will offer constants like a tavern burger and fish and chips as well as rotating seafood conserva and daily sausages. A whole animal butchery program will produce charcuterie like chicken liver mousse toast and country pork pâté as well as pork chops and lamb for main plates. “Denton and I are both big preservationists and we love that whole element of running a kitchen,” Bolchoz said. Noting the seafood and shellfish the Lowcountry pro-

vides, he said the team wanted to give people a different option in the raw bar world. “I think tinned fish is great and I love that it’s trending,” Bolchoz said, “but I think there’s something a little less exciting about getting crackers and tinned fish from a restaurant. What if the tinned fish is made in-house and has a perfectly curated flavor profile to match the season?” At Reenie’s, this could turn up as clams with green garlic and muscadine vinegar, mussels escabeche or pickled shrimp, all using vinegars that are made in-house. Bolchoz said the menu will always have salads, cold and grilled appetizers and vegetables from places like Kindlewood Farms, Lowland Farms and Growfood Carolina.

The next chapter in Hanahan In addition to Reenie’s, Semper Elevatum Hospitality will open a pastaficio and wine bar concept in 2027 at Blackwells Corner, a mixed-use community in Hanahan. Located at 1279 Yeamans Hall Road, Blackwells will also host Untitled Pizza Co., a wood-fired pizzeria from local chef Jalen Reeves, a second location of Kudu Coffee and Wine and Mimi’s, a soft-serve shop. The Blackwell Corner space will house the pasta-making operation for Cane Pazzo, the bread for Reenie’s as well as fresh and frozen retail options. The shelves will also carry a mix of local products, imported products and wine. The mercato will have bar seating inside and café seating outside and will offer an all-day aperitivo experience as well as chef dinners like pasta tasting menus and truffles dinners.

Weekdays will begin at 7 a.m. with Angel Biscuit Co., offering everything from a quick coffee to morning treats and grab-and-go muffins. At noon, the space will shift into a casual neighborhood hangout before Emily takes over in the evening turning up the music, dimming the lights and welcoming guests for dinner, drinks and late-night bites. Emily is a sister restaurant to Pizza Loves Emily, a New York restaurant with a cult following for its pizza and burgers. Guests can order from either menu during weekend brunch service.

The menu will change seasonally and even with daily deliveries. “I call it heads-up baseball,” Bolchoz said. “You’ve got to be ready to pivot. I have Kevin Johnson at the Grocery to thank for that because I watched that firsthand for two years. He would never supplement with Mexican produce to eek his way out of a season or figure out something more convenient. He grinded it out and shuffled nonstop. That’s what I’m trying to be.” The wine and beverage menus will include classics, natural wines, curated cocktails, Guinness — in a proper pint glass! — and local draft beers. The layout of the restaurant will also find inspiration from old-world taverns and pubs, and there will be a biergarten-style patio. “There’s always a little bit of a division between the bar room and the dining room,” Bolchoz said of traditional European taverns. “You can sit in the bar area and be a part of what I hope is a lively, active area. And if you’re looking for something a bit quieter, you can sit on the dining room side. They are not completely separated, and we are trying to flex what we can do and how we can offer different experiences under one roof.” No matter where you sit and when you dine at Reenie’s, the restaurant should offer the neighborhood vibes that Bolchoz and his team have mastered at Cane Pazzo. “It’s for anybody,” Bolchoz said of Reenie’s. “It’s for the neighborhood. It’s for people from all walks of life. Everybody needs a good local spot to have a beer, a cheeseburger or a steak with French fries. It’s whatever floats your boat, depending on the time of day.” To start, the restaurant will be open Tuesday to Sunday from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. Lunch service and extended weekend hours will start shortly after opening.

REVIEW

The Halsey’s elegant, evocative exhibition mines Southern memory

Culture 09.18.2026

By Maura Hogan

Almost any Southerner can tell you that there’s not a plot of dirt or stretch of water in these parts that doesn’t carry with it a layered past. Every tossed off oyster shell or scattered blade of sweetgrass is a conduit to memories well before we landed here. This is resplendently evident in Grounded in Grain, Washed in the Water, the deeply considered, regionally-rooted exhibition presented by two College of Charleston cultural hubs: the Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art and the Avery Research Center for African American History and Culture. Available through Dec. 5, it displays work at the Halsey’s Deborah A. Chalsty Gallery and at the Avery. In the presenters’ words, its aim is to explore ancestral narratives and the enduring relationships between land, water, memory and Black life in the American South. To do so, the show converges the work of four accomplished artists of Southern lineage: Corey Alston, Derrick Beasley, Christa David and Maya Freelon. Elegantly and thoughtfully curated by Lauren Jackson Harris, the exhibition as

a whole casts its two thematic natural elements in a contemporary, contemplative light as it awakens the ancestors. Sweetgrass is gathered, smoothed and shaped, often with a pristine linearity. Oyster shells take new formations. The yield of the Southern soil, its peanuts and peaches and pecans, are explored with colorful dynamism.

Rooted in the South

Take the work of Derrick Beasley, a Durham, N.C.-based, self-taught artist who mines the stuff of his Southern upbringing with an eye toward uplifting community. At the Halsey, the artist mounts works of sculpture, photography and video to gain access to place and past. Two large-scale sculptural works, which set the tone for the show, feature oysters from Harkers Island, N.C. Steward’s Armor, a black-robed, shell-winged looming figure, crossed bundles of maiden grass at its feet, as if bidding us across a metaphorical river to another realm. Ricoprocene Portal, a human-size cement dome of glistening black ceramic tiles on a mound of sand and oysters, may

On a nearby wall, a video projects black-and-white footage with men in a boat traversing Southern waterways as they grapple with their present-day roles. This segues to the work of New Yorkand Atlanta-based artist Christa David. By way of painting, collage and assemblage, the artist explores identity via the stuff of the South, placing herself prominently in the work.

SEPTEMBER 26 SEPTEMBER

Symphony launches 2026-27 season with classics, collaborations

Culture 09.18.2026

By Vincent Harris

Classical music can sometimes seem like the most immovable of art forms. The composers are long dead, the scores have been played thousands of times and the expectation is that the musicians will show up, read the notes and reproduce something that already exists. But that’s not true at all. Classical music is just as varied as any genre you’d care to name. The Charleston Symphony’s 2026-27 season offers proof. Its season kicks off at the Gaillard Center on Sept. 25 with a two-night performance called “A Charleston Carnival.” The program features Ryo Hasegawa, the symphony assistant conductor, making his Masterworks debut. CSO Artistic Director Yuriy Bekker says the decision to give Hasegawa the openingnight podium was easy. “Ryo is such a talented musician, and it is so special that he will conduct our opening night,” Bekker said in a recent interview. The program pairs Sibelius’ Second Symphony with Berlioz’s “Roman Carnival.” Principal Trumpet Antonio Marti will perform Haydn’s “Trumpet Concerto,” while Marti and recently appointed Trumpet Laureate Phil Smith will join forces for Vivaldi’s “Concerto for Two Trumpets.” “This is going to be an epic weekend,” Bekker said. And then there’s Lang Lang, one of the most acclaimed pianists in the world, who will join the CSO on Sept. 28 for Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 5, the “Emperor.” But there are also contemporary collaborations, including the Dec. 17 to Dec. 19 “Holiday Pops,” featuring Broadway and Glee star Cheyenne Jackson, and a return engagement with Charleston’s own Grammy-winning Gullah jazz band Ranky Tanky on March 15. “Every concert tells a story and has a special meaning,” said Bekker. “It is so hard to choose what my favorite program is. I love them all.” As you might imagine, the season’s planning process is Bekker considerably more involved than simply assembling a list of titles. Bekker said he considers what the community wants to hear, what the musicians want to play, what works haven’t been performed in years, and which programs might serve as artistic or popular blockbusters. He also works closely with the CSO’s Artistic Committee, which includes board

Courtesy Charleston Symphony

The Charleston Symphony’s 2026-27 season will kick off at the Gaillard Center members, musicians, staff and community members. “I would come to the meeting with a pen and paper to listen to some wonderful ideas,” Bekker says. “We have so many creative people in our organization and therefore the committee is a tremendous resource.”

Expecting the unexpected

The planning process for a new CSO season used to begin about a year out, but Bekker says the symphony is now moving toward planning two to three years ahead. That longer view also creates room for more ambitious ideas, including a proposed film project built around Ravel’s “Boléro,” whose premiere will mark its 100th anniversary next year. Bekker said he envisions filming CSO musicians performing the piece at several of Charleston’s landmarks, then projecting the movie while the orchestra performs the music live. “As we look into the future our desire is to deliver more than just music,” he says. “ ‘Expect the Unexpected’ is our slogan, and so we would like to give our audiences a meaningful experience.” The goal, he says, is for the time spent in the concert hall to feel almost suspended from ordinary life. “My hope is that the two hours in the hall with the CSO will feel like a minute because our aim is for our audience to enjoy every moment, be completely immersed in the music and forget about all the struggles and challenges of everyday life.”

That desire for immersion also extends to the symphony itself. Bekker, who is entering his 20th season with the CSO, says the ideal musician is not merely a technically accomplished player, but someone who understands the communal nature of the work. Bekker says one of the most rewarding parts of conducting the CSO is watching musicians respond to one another and take ownership of the music. “I love watching them respond to an idea, take ownership of the music and create something together that is so beautiful,” he says. “There is nothing more rewarding than standing on the podium and feeling that the entire orchestra is breathing together.” This season’s repertoire gives those musicians plenty to sink their teeth into. Bekker is particularly excited about works that haven’t been heard from the symphony in a long time, including Bartók’s “Concerto for Orchestra,” Beethoven’s “Missa Solemnis” and Mahler’s Third Symphony. Bekker’s overall goal is to balance the familiar with the unexpected, serving the community while giving the musicians opportunities to perform the works they’re passionate about. “I feel very fortunate that our community trusts us,” he says. “That trust means a great deal to me, and I want to honor it by creating performances that are not only beautiful, but also meaningful and memorable.” IF YOU WANT TO GO: Find a full rundown of the CSO’s 2026-27 season at charlestonsymphony.org.

things arrive already knowing me, features the artist posed in a white cotton nightgown, head cast reflectively, before a sky blue background. In each, a pick of Georgia hallmark crops — the peanuts, peaches and pecans — rain down. Two others, titled The Ground Still Knows My Name, are dirt-filled fabric-covered baskets, red ribbons spilling to the floor, calling to mind those once used by the enslaved who worked the fields. Then there are the regionally iconic sweetgrass baskets. In the adjacent gallery space, a straightforward foray into the tradition centers on several works of fifth-generation weaver Alston, who is renowned for shaping these time-honored practices into sculptural, at times outsized works. Also on view are loaned pieces from the Avery’s Sweetgrass Collection, some from makers not yet known, and others from renowned artisans including Mary A. Jackson and Nakia Wigfall. A looping video rotates images from yesteryear weavers. Freelon’s sculptural work, a mass of undulating tissue, bleeds its brillant colors up the gallery’s library wall. It’s a prelude to the main display of the Durham-based artist’s work at the Avery. There, suspended from the center of the ceiling, one radiates out like a rainbow-dripping nimbus. Punctuating the walls are delicate, wafting, huestained sheaths featuring also archival family photographs, faint apparitions on the fragile paper. Freelon’s ephemeral medium offers stark contrast to the staying power of the abiding memories forever etched in our wending rivers and well-toiled earth. When artists of this caliber lay their hands and hearts on our Southern terrain, they chart enthralling new inroads to its many dormant stories still waiting to be heard.

Saturday symposium

On Sept. 26 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., the Halsey will present Making and Remembering, a free symposium on the exhibition. Beasley, David and Freelon will join a panel discussion with the curator. A screening of the film High Water, directed by Tyquan Morton, will be followed by a brief question-andanswer session with Charleston poet laureate AsiahMae. It will also include a panel on collecting Black art moderated by Arun Drummond.
