Rundown CARTA announces ‘No Pay May’ initiative

Courtesy Norfolk Southern Corporation

Coldwater Branch Stream in Dorchester County is part of a 1,000-acre tract of land to be conserved by Norfolk Southern

Charleston Area Regional Transportation Authority (CARTA) last Thursday announced the start of a new initiative aimed at encouraging new ridership on the city’s public transportation service through the month of May. The No Pay May initiative, a first in system history, will see the buses offer their services at no cost to riders. The program started this Sunday and runs through May 31. CARTA OnDemand rides are contracted separately and therefore not included in the initiative.

$1,325,000 Transportation company adds new land to conservation portfolio

News 05.04.2022

One of the nation’s largest transportation companies is permanently protecting more than a thousand acres of Lowcountry land northwest of Charleston with a conservation easement in partnership with the Lowcountry Land Trust.

Norfolk Southern Corporation, which provides rail shipping services for goods and materials across the U.S., just added a new tract of land to its already sizable 15,000+ acres of protected Lowcountry land. The tract, which includes Coldwater Branch Stream between Ridgeville and St. George in Dorchester County comprises over 1,000 acres.

“It’s part of our sustainability strategies,” said Josh Raglin, Norfolk’s chief sustainability officer. “One of the pillars of our company is nature-based solutions. How can we work with nature to find more creative solutions?”

The Coldwater Branch project has been in planning and permitting stages for about five years, Raglin said, but construction started in 2022. The project will restore more than six miles of streams and 1,105 acres of wetlands and adjacent upland buffers. Restoration efforts include closing drainage ditches, reestablishing meandering stream channels, replanting streamside vegetation, rebuilding flood

plain and groundwater connections and repopulating native plant species like sweet bay, pond cypress, black gum and more. More than 300,000 native plants will be planted, representing 23 distinct species of native vegetation.

Water quality benefits

Cumulative and downstream benefits will be seen over time, as effects of improvements to the headwater stream continue to build.

Water quality will improve, and impacts from flooding in downstream communities like the nearby Four Holes Swamp and the greater Edisto River Basin will be reduced.

Norfolk has also been stripping areas of certain pine trees and replacing them with the hardier native longleaf pine.

“The land is so important,” Raglin said.

“What we have out there is so unique. What was once a 90-million-acre longleaf pine forest across the Southeast is now only about 4 million acres. It’s a really diverse ecosystem, almost as diverse as the rainforest. We’ve restored 2,000 acres of longleaf so far and enrolled more than 10,000 acres for the forest carbon project.”

The vast majority of protected land came from Norfolk’s first conservation project in partnership with the Lowcountry Land Trust — the Brosnan Forest Conservation Easement, northwest of Charleston.

Beginning in 2008, the project protected 12,400 acres, one of the largest-ever tracts protected by a corporation in the Southeast.

Norfolk-protected land comprises more than a tenth of the Lowcountry Land Trust’s total portfolio.

“What I love about working with Norfolk is they’re such a big company, but they still have a deep and keen appreciation for the land they own,” said Lowcountry Land Trust CEO Ashley Demosthenes. “We’ve been honored and humbled to be partners with Norfolk since their first conservation easement, which is still the largest in our portfolio … It’s certainly a jewel in the crown.”

Norfolk Southern is now based in Atlanta but was started in South Carolina in 1827.

The wood from the Brosnan Forest was used as timber in the 1800s for Norfolk rail operations, Raglin said. The forest was made into a demonstration forest in the 1920s to show company partners the importance of conservation. The company has owned the soon to be protected ‘Coldwater Creek’ land since the 1830s.

“For them to take a stand and put this land under conservation to demonstrate the importance of the environment … they were banging the sustainability drum long before it became part of our modern vernacular,” Demosthenes said. “They’re to be comCONTINUED ON PAGE 7

Charleston named 11th in nation for inbound renters A new study by online real estate firm StorageCafe named Charleston at No. 11 in the U.S. for inbound rental moves across 257 markets with a population greater than 100,000.

The organization analyzed 3.4 million rental applications as a part of its study.

The report showed 2.4 people moving to Charleston for every renter who left in 2021. Roughly two-thirds of apartment hunters in the Lowcountry are transplants — the biggest sources being Charlotte, New York and Atlanta.

“Charleston is no longer a secret any more than Austin,” said local real estate agent Dennis Fassuliotis. “With rising housing prices, renters are looking for the most bang for their buck with over 50% of the top rental markets being in the Southeast and southwestern states.”

But Charleston hasn’t been immune to high rental prices either. Median rent in Charleston in April 2022 was at $1,459 for a single-bedroom apartment, according to online rental firm Apartment List.

Neighboring Mount Pleasant boasts the state’s highest rental prices with $1,869 for a one-bedroom. Both are above the national average of $1,319.

Local real esate agent Trish Bender said Charleston’s rental rates are still much more affordable compared to other major centers. Even the hottest spots in West Ashley, Downtown and even Mount Pleasant offer rates much lower than New York, Chicago and Philadelphia, she said.

Most of our new arrivals are young professionals — 44% being millennials.

According to StorageCafe, this can most likely be chalked up to a move to a more desirable city to raise a young family, and the second being the move to a career they can pursue from home.

“Emerging technology hubs are where the action is and the ‘gig’ workforce is on the move,” Fassuliotis said. “As a technology geek myself and president of South Carolina Emerging Tech Association, we see their pattern in investments differing from their boomer parents.

“This generation is also more bullish on cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin,” he continued. “They can take their asset ‘on the road’ and have a source of capital to borrow against in just minutes if they need cash for a security deposit and moving expenses without the burden of a mortgage and fixed asset like a house.”

‘Our hearts are breaking in Cayce’ South Carolina rocked by gun violence over past week

By Andy Brack

News 05.04.2022

Ever since 18 people were shot during recent Easter weekend rampages at a Columbia mall and a Hampton County nightclub, police across South Carolina have been busy investigating and arresting people after multiple incidents of gun violence.

In addition to shootings last week in Rock Hill, Anderson, Greenville, Greenwood, Murrells Inlet, Florence, North Charleston and Columbia, a Cayce police officer died early April 24 after responding to a domestic disturbance in which a suspect reportedly opened fire.

“Our hearts are breaking in Cayce,” Cayce Mayor Elise Partin told a Columbia-area television station after the death of Officer Roy Andrew “Drew” Barr. “Officer Drew Barr has been an important part of the Cayce family since 2016.”

Gov. Henry McMaster ordered flags to half-staff last Thursday at the Statehouse and on state buildings to recognize Barr, whose funeral was the same day.

The governor also pledged in an April 26 statement to back a Democratic-led proposal to curb gun violence and promote tougher laws on illegal gun possession.

Bender also points to what she calls “the COVID effect.”

“If the pandemic taught us anything, it’s that personal wellbeing is paramount,” she said. “As we were given the opportunity to take a step away from our 9-5 working

Among the other shootings during the week: MURRELLS INLET: Three people were shot early last Wednesday in a Murrells Inlet home. A 76-year-old man died.

GREENVILLE: Two teens were hurt in an April 27 shooting at a Greenville County park.

ROCK HILL: Police last Tuesday night found two dead on the side of the road in Rock Hill, as well as one dead in a car and the fourth injured from a gunshot to the arm. Police arrested a 17-yearold, who was charged with two counts of murder.

answers from city leaders on what they’re doing to make the area safer.

ANDERSON: Around the same time in Anderson, two people were treated for injuries after a drive-by shooting. Again, children were playing ball in a nearby field when the shooting occurred.

COLUMBIA: Police responded to a “shots fired” call last Monday night on Millwood Avenue. One person was hurt.

GREENWOOD: Police arrested a man after an April 30 shooting left a man in critical condition. Police were searching for two others.

NORTH CHARLESTON: Shots rang out April 25 night near a North Charleston park as a youth baseball game was underway. Players and parents scattered. Now parents are demanding

FLORENCE: Four separate shootings between last Friday evening and Sunday morning, left four dead, including an 11-year-old boy and a teenager. Florence Mayor Teresa Myers Ervin reassured the citizens of Florence that police are there to not only handle crimes, but to work with the public to help prevent similar situations from happening. There have been more than 100 shootings this year in the Pee Dee, according to this report.

norms, many people discovered that home took on a greater depth of value. Working from home, engaging in the world through virtual connection from home and navigating a new way of interacting with the outside world from a grounded personal space allowed people to reconsider what was most important.”

Bender said she is not surprised at all

that Charleston is the 11th best destination for rental migration. Over the course of the last 20 years, she explained, the city has steadily gained notoriety for its beauty, mild climate and small-town vibe.

“It would naturally follow that given the new trend to work from anywhere, more people are choosing to call Charleston home,” she said.

ANDERSON: On April 26, Anderson police collected evidence after an apartment parking lot shooting involving two youths. It apparently was connected to an April 25 shooting (described below).

Police approached a downtown man on a park bench cradling a 24 oz. can of Four Loko like a child. When police were within earshot, the man commented that he had been caught again and poured the can out without incident.

Swing, Swing, Crack!

A downtown man was observed stumbling around a parking lot and swinging his closed fists at passersby from a distance as if to strike them while yelling loudly and incoherently.

Police later found a pipe with burnt residue on his person.

Welcome to the Holy City A downtown man parked his car at the Charleston Visitor Center for a short while, but when he returned to the vehicle, he found his license plate tag had been stolen.

Misery loves company Police responded to a separate incident downtown in which they found a drunken man laying on the ground with a bloodied hand. When they approached him, he told officers he had consumed several beers and would like to go to jail.

mended for that.”

Demosthenes said the protection of the land also protects the stories of the people who once lived off of it.

“Generations of people have hunted these properties and grown crops on this land,” she said. “It’s about the people, the habitats, and a very deep connection and love for the land. It’s remarkable — and I’ve been doing this a long time — it never ceases to amaze me how strong that desire is.”

Funding for the Land Trust’s efforts primarily comes from Charleston County Greenbelt Program and the S.C. Conservation Bank. In many cases, land purchased for conservation is bought for a fraction of the overall easement value.

Norfolk’s sustainability efforts go beyond just land conservation. The com-

pany’s dedication to rail, which generates 75% lower carbon emissions than shipping by truck, also relieves highway congestion and reduces wear on public infrastructure.

Norfolk trains take more than 200,000 trucks off Interstate 26 each year alone, and the number has steadily climbed annually, according to a statement from the company.

“What we have now is this crushing trifecta of increased cargo volumes, the dysfunction of the roads themselves — they’re in need of billions of dollars in improvements — and just additional automobile traffic and population growth,” Dana Beach, founder of the state Coastal Conservation League, said in a previous City Paper report. “All that adds up to … what I would bet any amount of money is by far the No. 1 source of toxic air pollution, dwarfing anything else. I can’t imagine what else would come close.”

Campsen’s conservation bill

A bill filed in February by state Sen. Chip Campsen could help the state move closer to doubling the total acreage of protected lands by 2050, a goal set by state leaders last summer.

Almost 3 million acres of land are protected today, but rampant development is encroaching on protected lands and causing mass loss of unprotected forests, farms, wildlife and recreational habitats. Campsen’s S.C. Conservation Enhancement Act would provide resources and funds for the state Conservation Bank and reinstate a dedicated funding source tied to deed recording fees.

Such a move could likely produce $20-25 million in annual funds for the Conservation Bank without levying a tax increase on South Carolinians.

The bill would also dedicate a portion of the sales tax revenue from sporting goods toward improvements on public lands

owned by the state Department of Natural Resources; Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism; and the Forestry Commission.

Demosthenes said this level of protection is critically important, and identifying funding to keep it in perpetuity will be vital.

“Conservation like this enhances water quality within a broader basin that is important for wildlife; safe, healthy ecosystems; drinking water — all these things we depend on,” she said. “Every property that’s protected has a clear and distinct public benefit. Some of those are visible, many are invisible, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have an impact on your life.”

This sales tax revenue can be used for new roads, new accomodations, maintaining wildlife habitats on protected land and more.

Campsen told reporters in February he had 22 co-sponsors for the bill when it was introduced in the state Senate on Feb. 2.

Reject censorship of S.C.’s book nannies he book nannies are at it again, trying to censor what people read in South Carolina libraries.

This time, the excuse for uber-right social conservatives is that they want to keep materials of “prurient interest” away from curious eyes of children. Do they even know what “prurient” means?

We understand they’re scared that children will see a penis or a vagina or have to learn about something not taught at Sunday school. But let’s call it what it is — another attempt by the strong arm of the state to strongarm knowledge via censorship.

This most recent censorship flare-up comes courtesy of conservative S.C. Sen. Josh Kimbrell, R-Spartanburg, who proposed a budget amendment to cut off funding from public libraries that provided “materials that appeal to the prurient interest” of children under age 13. The pandering amendment passed during an election year and heads to the House, which should strike it. (Unfortunately, House members likely will dodge their responsibility because they’re scared they’d be seen as too permissive if they knocked it out of the budget.)

The state’s libraries could lose millions of dollars if they keep the books on the children’s shelves, even under the guiding eyes of professional librarians. Charleston County libraries could lose up to $920,000, according to library officials, if the county library board has the guts to fight the censorship.

Melanie Huggins, executive director of Richland Library, said there have been increasing attempts in recent months to censor access to library materials, although “they have mostly been targeted at schools and school libraries.” She said her

library system would lose about $1 million in state funding a year and that the measure would devastate small and rural county libraries that kept the materials available.

Librarians say they prefer to work with families to find educational materials that are appropriate for each family, not use blanket censorship to deny classics like The Scarlet Letter or Catch-22 or The Color Purple or Sophie’s Choice.

Noted state Sen. Brad Hutto, D-Orangeburg: “This amendment is broad enough to ban the Bible.”

Knock it off, legislature. Leave books in libraries to the professionals — librarians. Rather than being Orweillian about what people read, state lawmakers need to stay out of libraries — just like they should stay out of bedrooms and keep their mitts off women’s bodies.

State lawmakers who vote to keep the Senate budget amendment as part of the $12.6 billion budget would be voting against freedom, democracy and the American way.

The free flow of ideas — even ideas that are objectionable — is vital to what defines the American way of life. Nannies like Sen. Kimbrell are throwbacks to the plantation economy that controlled too many people’s lives daily.

For all of the complaining that conservatives do about “woke” liberals, it’s pretty amazing how their actions are little different in attempting to control conversations and how people interact on an array of issues.

Dump the anti-library language and stop inflaming the culture war. Rather, get to work on what really needs to be done — truly educating our children, creating opportunities for the future, improving access to health care and bolstering quality of life that will allow all Americans to pursue liberty and happiness.

OPINION

November’s elections just got competitive By Andy Brack

November’s normally drab midterm elections will shift monumentally to thwart judicial abortion activism that’s been boiling for years. Mainstream voters, already tired of Republican culture wars and outraged over the GOP’s empowerment of the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, will now rush to the polls to keep Democrats in power.

In congressional races slightly favoring Republicans, such as U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace’s First District reelection bid, Democrats will now become competitive. In places where Republicans thought they might be able to pick up a seat and retake the U.S. House, voters in many places won’t trust them enough to stop the madness to elect them.

Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential victory led to the appointment of three radicals to the Supreme Court — Brett Kavanaugh, Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett. They joined longtime uber-conservatives — Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas — and Chief Justice John Roberts, viewed these days

as more moderate, to form a 6-3 bloc. Such a lopsided majority made it just a matter of time before the justices fiddled seriously with Roe. Liberals, however, didn’t bank on it being actually overturned. And neither, we suspect, have most voters, a majority of whom support abortion rights. Now there’s extra motivation for them to get active. And imagine the fuming rallies coming to college campuses. All of this activity will send a new, engaged breed of pragmatic politicians to Washington. And that, we hope, will include some old-time moderate Republicans instead of the kneejerk breed who have been multiplying like rabbits.

The decision to overturn Roe will send organizers into overdrive. About 239 million Americans were eligible to vote in 2020, but only 160 million voted.

That means about 80 million Americans, some registered and others not, didn’t participate. They will be the focus of activists.

Democrats tend to do a much better job at registering people and getting them to the polls — when they really work at organizing. Just look at what’s happening in neighboring Georgia, now a purple state. Past efforts by Democratic superstar Stacey Abrams, now running for governor again, have paid off by shaking up the old guard. Dozens of candidates are running statewide in both parties because Democrats put up lots of candidates, and Republicans responded in kind. The winner?

The decision to overturn Roe will send organizers into overdrive.

About 239 million Americans were eligible to vote in 2020, but only 160 million voted.

Voters, who now have scads of choices.

As organizers ramp up the political temperature, more people will register and then vote. Democratic leaders often whine that if their voters really participated, they’d win every time. In South Carolina, for example, more than 540,000 people participated in the 2020 Democratic presidential primary. But months later, 466,000 Republicans took part in the GOP state primary, compared to only 284,000 Democrats in their state primary. Imagine if all of the people who showed up for the presidential primary turned out in the November general election — Republicans in South Carolina wouldn’t take as many seats.

Unfortunately in South Carolina’s 2022 elections, any surge in voter turnout won’t impact the S.C. House of Representatives, where gerrymandered districts have already determined outcomes in a majority of races.

Only about a dozen of 124 races will be truly competitive, which means Dems may pick up a few seats. But it could make a difference in a few statewide races.

And nationally, overturning Roe v. Wade should lead to the most interesting midterm elections since the Great Depression.

Yes, past elections have consequences. But so, too, will a Supreme Court decision on future elections.

Navigating the unknowns to become an energy producer

Feature 05.04.2022

By Chris Dixon

n a sunny day in late March, a big switch was flipped outside of my house. Suddenly and unobtrusively, our home went from being powered by a grid-fed combination of coal, nuclear, natural gas, solar and wind, to nothing but the mighty sun. In that instant, a house which averaged around $300 per month in electric consumption — became an energy producer.

As I type on a warm day in early May, our family dishwasher and dryer are running on 16,800 watts of Tennessee-built solar panels. Fresh from a Folly Road run to Lowe’s, my wife’s Tesla-motored Mercedes B250e — bought for a song during the pandemic — is transferring a hair dryer’s worth of sun-plugged juice into the car’s batteries. My beloved, big-ass 15-mpg Ford Transit van guzzles $4 of gasoline just on a Lowe’s round-trip, while the Mercedes drives there for free. It’s strange and satisfying to rocket away from a stoplight knowing its fuel is the sun.

That March moment when we switched on a solar house was the culmination of years of my wife and I wanting to add panels to our home while avoiding mistakes and still managing to afford it. We put in a stupid number of hours of research and consultaMason tion with Jonathan Mason, owner of South Carolina Solar Project (SCSP), Storm Guard roofing owner Scott Deavenport, electrical engineer Paul Martin, Angel Oak Home Loans mortgage officer Christian Blumetti and the only non-local in the bunch, our Texas-based accountant. YouTube videos and Popular Mechanics articles helped too.

What we learned might help those straddling the solar fence in the Lowcountry. I won’t soapbox debate the merits of solar. I’m aware the panels only work part of the day. I realize solar is only part of the solution to the world’s energy woes, and that it might not be a choice for tree-shaded Charleston houses or apartment or condo dwellers. But for right now, according to the app on my phone, our elegant system

Energy audit

Before spending on solar, pay for a serious home energy audit with a person who is Building Performance Institute certified.

They will check for air leaks, insulation issues and faulty ductwork with a fine-toothed comb. Fixing these issues might save 50% on your energy consumption, and huge amounts on your power bill, according to South Carolina Coastal Conservation League senior energy program director Eddy Moore. A super efficient house also won’t need as many panels — saving you more money.

“Most of the time, when house and car are not using all of that electricity, our panels pump excess juice back into the grid.”

Your roof

Unless you have a big enough piece of property for a frame-supported, groundbased solar system, you need an unshaded roof that is well-oriented in the direction of the passing sun. Of utmost importance is your roof’s condition. The baking, windblown Lowcountry weather takes a toll and our roof was at least 20 years old, so new shingles were a must. A solar setup can last 30 years or more, and panels must be removed and reinstalled with a new roof job, so unless you have a tough metal roof, don’t consider new panels on a roof more than 10 years old. And unless you’re going metal, rely on sturdy architectural shingles. “Those shingles, in this climate, can last 25 to 30 years,” Mason said.

Solar installers often partner with roofers so the panel job and the new roof can go on a single invoice. With state and federal solar tax deductions, that could mean a tax credit of around $5,000 on a $10,000 roof job.

Permits

Your solar installer will deal with permitting agencies, but consider calling your permitting office before putting down money — to ensure your house doesn’t have some outstanding issue that would cause a rejection.

Mounting up

Ask an installer how they will install your panels. SCSP uses hockey puck-ish devices to secure panels in winds up to 150 mph. They’re weather-sealed and screwed deep into the roof rafters rather than more typical “L” brackets held with screws tapped only into the plywood and sealed with silicone. That silicone can crack and leak. Strong wind can strip screws from plywood.

What’s the cost?

A solar installer will use copies of your electric bill — and its rundown of consumption.

With the help of nifty mapping software that uses aerial images to show your home’s sun exposure, they will model a setup to produce more electricity than you consume.

Consider too, if you own a gas furnace and water heater, you’ll still be paying for that gas. Heat pumps, by contrast, run on electricity. If you’re planning for an electric car, have an installer figure those kilowatts into the equation.

Added bonus: By blocking sun from shingles, panels can seriously reduce heat transfer to your house, creating far less air-conditioner burden. The reduction in sunny day heat in the loft of our home is frankly astonishing.

How to pay

Talk to your solar installer, take notes, talk to an accountant and a lender. Our system came in at $40,000. We couldn’t pay cash on salaries of a reporter and teacher, so we considered a home equity line of credit (HELOC), solar company leasing or financing or a home refinance. We ultimately chose a refi because our rate would be low, we would own the panels, we could take the 1098 mortgage interest deduction (which you can’t do with other options), and there would be no panel-induced second lien on our house. While most solar loans are unsecured and have fairly low rates, some secure that low rate with your house.

“Really, you’re not buying solar equipment, you’re buying power for a period of time,” said Mason. “You’re also buying a financial product that works for you. I’ve sold millionaires solar systems, and they still want the financing, because they’d rather take the $35,000 or whatever the system costs and invest that money in the market, where they can get a 5% or 10% return.”

Some might recommend relatively low-cost leased panels. Blumetti warned against this. When a client with a leased system went to refinance her house, Blumetti had a hard time getting the leasing company to accept a payoff on her panels. In a worst-case scenario, a homeowner could even be on the hook for panels on a house they’re selling.

“There’s a lot of fine print,” he said.

“They made getting out of that very tough. And they tacked on a bunch of

With solar panels now covering his roof, Chris Dixon’s house has become a 17,000-watt power plant penalties and interest.”

A HELOC, Blumetti and Mason said, can make sense, but a variable interest rate could increase substantially. Also, HELOCs work a lot like credit cards, with a temptation to make the very low monthly payment that only covers interest, but leaves tens of thousands of dollars accruing interest.

Incentives and payoff

The feds give a 26% tax credit for systems installed from 2020 to 2022 and 22% credit for systems installed in 2023. The federal credit will expire in 2024 unless Congress renews it. South Carolina gives a 25% credit. That means a $40,000 system could ultimately cost $20,000. Our 1,700-square-foot house gobbled $3,600 of electricity per year. So for us, a payoff on the system, and a true $12/month electric bill, will happen in 5.4 years. The credits can also go towards a solar battery system installed with the panels.

If you live in the country, the Rural Energy for America program can provide 25% additional cash grants on systems along with other incentives.

Insurance

Some insurance companies won’t insure panels. Some will charge you a higher premium. Some like USAA and State Farm may well leave rates unchanged. Check before signing a solar contract.

Batteries vs. net metering vs. generators

A battery or generator system can require considerable home wiring upgrades, especially for an older home. Battery technology is also changing rapidly.

And though prices are dropping, dealerinstalled Generac or Tesla battery systems will cost at least $15,000 and still may not power air conditioning during an outage.

But battery and gasoline or propane generator backup systems will at least work

during a power outage.

Our system, in contrast, needed no wiring upgrades because it simply taps into the power input on the side of our house. It’s set up through an arrangement called “net metering,” in which Dominion Energy credits us for excess energy produced. Think “rollover minutes” with your cellular company. You produce excess power during the sunniest months, “bank” that power and roll it over to credit your utility-generated electricity during the high-consumption summer or solar deficient winter — when panels simply don’t keep up.

The downside: Most net-metered systems will not provide electricity during a blackout. New technology coming down the pipe will allow for your panels to power your home solo without battery backup, but they’re not yet perfect — and they only work, said Mason, when the sun shines.

Inverters

An inverter takes solar panel power and converts it to grid power. Small, single inverter per-panel systems are preferable to those reliant on one large inverter. That way, if one inverter fails you’re still getting power from the other panels.

Service

Have a very clear idea on whom is responsible for what. Will your solar company follow up if you need a panel repair? How do panels affect a new roof’s warranty? Be sure your roofer and panel installer are communicating, understand who fixes what and know what your homeowners insurance will cover.

Cleaning

Output can drop by 50% on dirty panels.

Clean them every six months. A hose works, but a telescoping brush with an attached hose is way better. Or you can hire a company to do it. But do it.

charlestoncitypaper.com

is pumping out a hundred thousand watts per day. Most of the time, when house and car are not using all of that electricity, our panels pump excess juice back into the grid.

Our electric bill — aside from Dominion’s roughly $12 per month grid and power plant maintenance fee — is zero.

Rethink your lawn with clover for eco-friendly yard

Clover’s dense structure helps suppress existing weeds in your yard. eliminating the need to apply nitrogen plant food because it does the work for you, keeping lawns green and growing while adding natural nitrogen to the soil.

Drought tolerant. Clover has longer, deeper roots than turf grass, reaching down into the soil for the moisture it needs so you won’t have to water as much during normal weather conditions. Plus, it stays green year-round, is resistant to drought and tolerates wet conditions.

Controls weeds. Clover’s dense structure and growth habits help suppress existing weeds and the establishment of new weeds because it grows via stolons (stems that grow horizontally along the ground).

Low to no maintenance. You can mow clover — the more it’s cut, the smaller the leaf size — or simply let it grow, as it only grows 4-6 inches tall and doesn’t get unwieldy, making it an ideal lawn alternative or healthy addition to your lawn.

Thrives in sun to partial shade. Unlike some turfgrass types, clover does well in partial shade that receives at least some direct sunshine daily.

Stands up to foot traffic. Clover also has superior wear tolerance over turf grass, does well in compacted soil and fills bare spots quickly.

Who has time to continuously care for that carpet-like, green grass almost everyone longs for? Nearly no one. Cultivating a lush, green lawn takes time, can be expensive and is a mainstay on weekend to-do lists from spring through fall. It’s a serious commitment.

Traditional turf lawns require a lot of maintenance. You must mow and remove weeds often. Furthermore, the amount of water usage can be staggering. The average American family uses 320 gallons of water per day, about 30% of which is devoted to outdoor uses, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. More than half of that is used for watering lawns and gardens. Nationwide, landscape irrigation is estimated to account for almost onethird of all residential water use, totaling nearly 9 billion gallons per day.

Maybe it’s now time to rethink this obsession with turf grass lawns and take a page from the past: Clover can help create a greatlooking lawn. Several decades ago, clover was considered so essential for lawns that it was a standard component in lawn seed mixes and wasn’t considered a weed. Clover was branded a weed when agricultural chemical companies created herbicides to rid lawns of broadleaf plants. These herbicides had no effect on grass, but killed everything else, clovers included, which is how clover became identified as a weed.

It’s not too late to renovate your lawn and reintroduce the springy, soft, green carpet of clover back into your lawn. It’s fluffy on the feet, aids in weed and erosion control and, when used to overseed existing lawns, fills in bare spots fast.

Today as interest grows in more ecofriendly ways to care for grass, you might consider totally replacing your lawn with an option like Miniclover, which should not be confused with invasive white Dutch clover.

“Miniclover is about one-third to half the size of white Dutch clover, producing a thick, carpet-like appearance that blends well with turf,” said Troy Hake, president and owner of Outsidepride.com, which offers a multitude of seeds, including grasses, clovers, wildflowers, herbs and more. “It’s especially attractive, cost effective, eco-friendly and can help you get that thick, lush, green lawn your neighbors will envy.”

In addition to providing weed and erosion control, the fluffy lawn alternative offers a variety of benefits:

AT HOME IN THE LOWCOUNTRY

Family is where Janice Hudgins’ heart is

By Samantha Connors

Digs 05.04.2022

Little Miss Ha owner Janice Hudgins didn’t cook much Vietnamese food before opening her restaurant on Houston Northcutt Blvd. in Mount Pleasant.

16

“My mom lives 20 minutes away, and as a Vietnamese mother, she just makes food for us all the time,” Hudgins said. “So, it was like, well why do I need to cook Vietnamese food? Mom makes it even better.”

But after moving back to Charleston from Atlanta in 2009, Hudgins began exploring new career options. She worked in sales and real estate before becoming a stay-at-home mom after having four children with her husband, Johnny.

While investigating potential job opportunities after a decadelong stint as a caregiver, Hudgins began posting photos of Food Network chef-inspired meals on Facebook. And people (metaphorically) ate it up.

So at the request of friends and acquaintances, Hudgins began doing private dinners and catering events in 2016, serving her mom’s Vietnamese food.

“It was hard because she doesn’t write down recipes,” Hudgins said. “The only time we really spent cooking in the kitchen together when I was little was rolling egg rolls. We used to roll egg rolls for a local caterer in Moncks Corner, and he would order hundreds from us in one week. So we had an assembly line of mom making the filling, I would roll the eggrolls, and my brother Ryan, who’s my executive chef now, would peel all the eggroll wrappers. That was his only job because he was only 5 or 6 years old.”

When the demand for private dinners increased, Hudgins had to get in the kitchen with her mom and learn how to master her recipes. And she put them down in writing.

“She goes by taste, smell and sight. Not by recipes. So she was trying to teach us that’s how you cook,” Hudgins said. “I still go by recipes, but a lot of it now is intuitive and I can pull those senses.

Hudgins’ and her kids spend a lot of time on their backyard dock, where the kids like to fish with their grandpa and neighborhood friends.

But the biggest learning curve was just trying to take her recipes and put it in a recipe format.”

People pop in all of the time because we value it so much.”

Both of Hudgins’ parents help out with taking care of their four grandchildren, whether it’s Miss Ha making dinner for the kids four nights a week, even after getting off work at 7 p.m., or her dad shuttling the kids around from school to ballet practice and anywhere in between.

“Growing up, it was always all about taking care of your family,” Hudgins said. “I don’t know what I would do without them.”

And as a way of giving back, Hudgins has a special goal in mind for her mom, who got her nickname Miss Ha while working at the former Piggly Wiggly on Meeting Street downtown.

Photos by Samantha Connors “That was her very first job,” said When the King Street Mellow Mushroom closed in 2020, Johnny made this Hudgins. “Her name is Thu-Ha, but custom painting from the restaurant a new part of the Hudgins’ home decor. they couldn’t pronounce her name, so everyone called her Miss Ha.

That is the goal — to have her special dish that we know that you want.” products, her food, packaged up to share across the country.

Family support was a huge aspect of her life, and that still She is the heart of why we all do what we do.”

Something people would be surprised to learn about you: I can’t swim and I never exercise.

Favorite thing to do outside of work: Hang out with my kids.

Favorite food to eat: Vietnamese food is obvious. Outside of that, anything sweet.

Favorite food to cook: Outside of Vietnamese food, I love cooking recipes from Barefoot Contessa! Besides my mom, she’s my idol!

Favorite cocktail or beverage: Our Margarit-Ha from Little Miss Ha or an expensive French chardonnay.

Five foods you always need in your refrigerator: Nuoc cham, pasta, cream cheese, half & half, butter.

What meal would you want served to you for your last supper: Rack of lamb.

Your advice for how someone new to Charleston: There is one degree of separation in Charleston. Everyone knows someone who you know, so just be mindful.

Anything about the pandemic affected you in particular: Adapt or die.

“Mom is the inspiration for all of us, not only with the restaurant, but just how everyone should live,” Hudgins said. “She is Miss Ha and when I started doing her recipes for the private events and catering, I just called myself Little Miss Ha.” After dabbling in private events, Hudgins’ family was invited

by Michael Shemtov to do the first pop-up dinner series at the original Butcher & Bee at 654 King Street with Miss Ha doing a majority of the cooking. The family continued the pop-ups for about a year.

In 2018, Shemtov, a longtime Hudgins family friend, approached the couple about renting a booth in the now-closed Workshop space on King Street Extension. Johnny Hudgins’ worked with Shemtov to open the former Mellow Mushroom on King Street and three other Mellow Mushrooms in the area. With his restaurant experience and Miss Ha’s recipes, the couple decided to go for it.

Little Miss Ha’s booth in Workshop took off, and the couple decided in 2019 to start their own full-blown restaurant in Mount Pleasant where they knew a lot of their customers were based.

Just five weeks after opening the doors to Little Miss Ha, the pandemic forced shutdowns across the nation. The Hudgins family had to find a way to pivot the business by doing things like delivery service. Now they’re finally getting back into a normal groove and hope to expand the business by offering products like their homemade broths and sauces.

Succulents are hardy houseplants

By Toni Reale, special to Digs Succulents are easy-to-care-for plants that have quickly become one of the most popular houseplants. There are more than 1,000 types of succulents that vary in size, color and growth habit which makes collecting them fun and interesting. Common genera include echeveria, haworthia and kalanchoe.

The key to success with keeping your houseplants thriving is to mimic their natural conditions. Succulents, which have evolved in arid and sunny environments, would therefore require a lot of light (preferably six hours a day or more) and minimal water.

Soil

The arid environments that succulents are accustomed to are nutrient-deficient and drain well. Pot up your succulents using a soil specifically formulated for them or simply create it by mixing one part of potting soil to one part of coarse sand. This medium will allow water to flow through

easily, avoiding root rot. Be sure your pot has a drainage hole.

Water

In nature, succulents receive infrequent rainfall. Water more frequently in the spring and summer (perhaps once a week) and less in the fall and winter (perhaps once every two weeks). Water the soil so that it runs out of the drainage hole. Be sure to allow the soil to completely dry between watering. This watering pattern mimics rainfall patterns in arid conditions. Do not be tempted to water a little bit here and there as this can actually do more harm than good to your plant. If the leaves of your succulent turn yellow, black or squishy, you are most likely over-watering. If the leaves are wrinkly or limp, you might not be watering enough.

growing season and back indoors during dormancy. You’ll know if your plant needs more light if you see a stretching growth pattern.

Propagation

Succulents can be fun and easy to propagate. Here are some ways to try to expand your collection: • Look for “pups” or offsets that have sprung up alongside the mother plant. You can carefully remove them and replant in a small pot.

• Let fallen leaves remain where they land, some will take root and grow a pup off the tip of the leaf.

• Some succulents will be easy to propagate

during replanting. You can separate the roots and plant in different pots.

Trendsetters

Customers continuously request any kind of “string-of” succulent. This includes a string of pearls, string of tears, string of dolphins and string of turtles. The hanging, spilling-over growth pattern is attractive and unique.

On Sept. 1, 2021, popular food pop-up Pubfare announced on Instagram that it was “taking a break” from slinging its savory smash burgers around the Lowcountry. That was when Jeremy Reynolds knew what he had to do.

“There’s this fun subculture that I found out about when I discovered a local pop-up burger joint,” Reynolds said. “I went to Westbrook Brewery one night, and Pubfare happened to be set up there. And that was the best burger I’ve ever had in my entire life.

“I was so jealous. They had a tent, flat-top grill, and it was just a simple process. And I was like, ‘One day, if they ever decide they want to hang it up or something ever happens, I’d love to step in and do that, fill that spot.’ ” So when Pubfare announced its break, Reynolds fulfilled that promise to himself.

“I thought, ‘OK, I want to do this, and I want to fill that void, but I don’t want to screw it up,’” he said. Thinking launching a pop-up would be an easy process, though, he found out there’s more to smash burgers than just, well, smashing burgers. He spent every day for six weeks: “racking up almost $3,000 at Costco,” “being too critical” and “trying to find the best beef combination and cooking technique for a tasty burger.”

And on Nov. 7, 2021, Reynolds launched Smash City Burgers, setting up his own tent and flat-top grill at SNAFU Brewing Company.

Since then, Reynolds has also popped up at Brickyard Plantation, Two Blokes Brewing, Westbrook and more neighborhoods and breweries around the city. In March, he purchased Flight Food Truck’s trailer and officially took his updated Smash City Burgers on the road in mid-April.

Despite thinking to himself, “I don’t know if I could eat another hamburger again,” he did the exact opposite.

As City Paper’s Best Of voting was underway, Reynolds felt there were a lot of burgers missing from the nominees list and that there were more “best” burgers the city had to offer. On March 30, Reynolds announced on Instagram something few have publicly dared:

He would eat 30 burgers in 30 days.

“Everyone knows Home Team, everyone knows Moe’s Crosstown,” he said. “It’s not that they don’t deserve recognition. They absolutely do. But I wanted to see everything else in Charleston.”

What started out as a simple “let’s try to find the best burger in town” transformed into something more meaningful. As his cholesterol spiked, the quest became less about the burger itself and more about the overall experience and connection with the community.

Reynolds explained that as the weeks went on, it wasn’t about either the baseline burger or something “off the reservation,” but about “how each burger is set up for that establishment.”

“It turned into not just the program, but how’s the area?” He said. “How was the staff when you walked in? What does this place mean to Charleston?”

He called Gillie’s Seafood on James Island a standout experience: “It’s a seafood joint that also sells burgers,” he said. “These two ladies at Gillie’s just ran their tails off ... so I’m like, ‘OK, let’s talk about the burger because that’s what this is, but let’s thank them for what they do, because there’s no way in hell I could do the job they do.’”

Reynolds admits he’s no food connoisseur, limiting his food criticism experience to Food Network’s “Beat Bobby Flay.”

But while the burgers did run together after sometime, he added, the subtle notes in each one stuck out: “I taste some more pepper here; I taste some cloves; There’s something here that I’m not familiar with.”

FOOD on Spruill, he said, was something completely different. The Cincinnatibased food joint pleasantly surprised his taste buds, even though as a Southerner, Reynolds found some ingredients bordered on “blasphemy.” “The chili has spaghetti, cinnamon and cloves, and was a different taste than I’ve ever had,” he explained. The same could be said of the Backyard Burger.

“It was completely different ... but with a

Jeremy Reynolds spent months perfecting his smash burger (top) and devours it in one bite (bottom) unique texture and really good.”

And with his growing palate, Reynolds continued to ask himself, “Is there something in these particular burgers that people find more appealing than other ones? And can I relate something like that to what I’m doing?”

Thus, while he said his “30 day” project produced three clear personal favorites, he chose not to list them. First, because he didn’t feel it was his place to judge others, and second: “Everybody else has different tastes.”

“It was a good way for me to get to know the community better because I’m an outsider,” he said. “I’m just some knucklehead who makes internet memes and sells smash burgers. There’s a whole list of people in this town who have gone to culinary school and have done things the right way and paid their dues. And here’s this dumbass who just comes up here with a food truck and acts like he owns a place.

My Dream Dinner

Enjoying classic menu items with family Karen Marie Green of West Ashley keeps her dream dinner traditional with simple yet delicious choices, such as a Bloody Mary, beet salad and blackened Mahi Mahi.

DREAM DINNER GUESTS: “My mom who loved to eat great food, my husband who has introduced me to some magnificent culinary experiences, and my brother Ken with whom I love to share food and beverage experiences.”

DRINK: Bloody Mary from Page’s Okra Grill. “I like it a little spiced up, so I ask for that, and it is the perfect beginning to a weekend breakfast!”

APPETIZER: Beet salad from Burton’s Grill. “Burton’s is a true beet salad where you know that the focal point is the beets themselves!”

Courtesy of Carmella’s

ENTREE: Blackened Mahi Mahi from Amen Street. “Cooked to perfection every time, the seasoning is not too overwhelming and spicy, but just the right amount.”

DESSERT: Chocolate mousse tart from Carmella’s. “The chocolate mousse at Carmella’s? Come on...no matter where we dine downtown, when the server asks about dessert, we say we are off to Carmella’s. The ​​ server usually nods with understanding.”

Arts Fest is back with local and regional talent

Little Stranger drop alt-acoustic tune Although alt hip-hop duo Little Stranger’s newest single “Coffee & a Joint” dropped just in time for the 4/20 holiday, the song has been around in one form or another.

“Coffee & a Joint” is classic Little Stranger vibes, with rapper Kevin Shields passing verses back and forth with vocalist John Shields over a pedallooped beat composition.

Fragments of the new alt-acoustic track came alive during Little Stranger’s Sugarshack Session recording in Florida in early 2019, and some of its verses surfaced on fellow Charleston rappers’ works. —Chelsea Grinstead

The North Charleston Arts Fest returns this week, May 4-8, for another year of exciting performing and visual arts. Featuring the works of some of Charleston’s most talented artists and fun guests from across South Carolina, this year’s Arts Fest is shaping up to be a wonderful — and free — weekend.

North Charleston Arts Fest is produced every year by the North Charleston Cultural Arts Department. The five-day event has, over the past 38 years, featured some of the best local and regional artists and performers. The festival began in 1982 as a one-day Park Circle event for local residents. It has since grown into one of Charleston’s premiere annual events.

As in previous years, this year’s events are free. The schedule offers something for everyone, across an incredible spectrum of artistic disciplines.

Visual arts fans will have plenty to take in. There’s this year’s winning poster design: “Memories 222” by Deborah Kind.

“Memories 222” is a mixed media piece created with paint and pens, incorporating collage, stenciling and stamping techniques.

Kind is a recently retired school teacher and full-time artist who lives on Kiawah Island.

She’s no stranger to the Arts Fest, having won several awards in the Judged Fine Art Competition in prior years. The piece will be part of the City of North Charleston’s Public Art Collection.

The annual Fine Art and Photography Competitions will again take place. Fine Art will feature eight different exhibition categories: acrylic, oil, drawing, pastel, watercolor, printmaking, printed new media and 2-D mixed media. The professional and amateur photography competition will feature color and monochrome categories.

And that’s not all. Local muralist and toy maker Patch Whiskey is hosting an open studio from 6-10 p.m., May 7, that will feature his works, merch and libations.

Sexbruise? says it’s OK to party

Many Sexbruise? concertgoers have heard the experimental electro pop quartet sing the refrain “Fauci said it’s okay to party” over the past year. With the April 20 release of the band’s super secret surprise EP, Rhythmic White Noise for Sleeping, the line can be streamed on repeat.

In addition to the oldie-but-goodie, “Fauci Said It’s Okay,” are four Sexbruise? songs that span genres from danceable house music satire to a surprisingly straightforward Phil Collins cover. At the end of the day, Rhythmic White Noise for Sleeping is definitely not for sleeping.

“Recently we have been writing some stuff that has been a cross over into fooling people that we are a regular pop band,” said frontwoman Julie Slonecki. “That’s how you get them.”

Sexbruise? is completed by drummer/ vocalist John Pope, guitarist Will Evans and percussionist/hype man Stratton Moore (one of the only desktop-tronica players in existence, according to the band).

The band’s funky, synthy nonsense has been steadily flowing since about 2018, and the songwriting process behind the madness is a thoroughly collaborative free-for-all.

“I think probably our biggest influence is each other, which sounds cheesy, but in terms of trying to write funny content by yourself versus when we get together and start talking about ridiculous things, then songs come pretty easily,” Pope said. “We will write like the first 90% of the song pretty quickly and then spend weeks putting together the last 10%, and that’s how it goes.”

With multiple songwriters and home studio setups in the mix, ’Bruise? songs are thoroughly collaborative compositions pieced together from live-instrument scratch tracks stacked with layers of synthetic tones and samples. The band produces together down to the mixing and mastering. And the diverse musical backgrounds and influences no doubt play a major role in the band’s songwriting.

“I’ve got a background in metal, jazz and jam bands, but I love bubblegum pop — like

Tania Dyle

Experimental pop quartet Sexbruise? just dropped Rhythmic White Noise for Sleeping and have another EP on the way I would love to go to a Katy Perry or Taylor Swift concert,” Evans said. “I try to bring that production and fun-ness to what we are writing together.”

The track “B.Y.L. (Heart Hard)” started as an instrumental track Slonecki put together and has since been disguised as legitimate synth pop to distract from its comedic lyricism. Slonecki sings over a dreamy, driving rhythm: “You’ve got those cotton candy fingers / You’ve got those laser pointer eyes / You run through me like butter / On super sharp knife / You make my heart hard baby / You make my ribs break baby.”

“Simulation” is a weird existential contemplation about living in a world where nothing is real — “then resetting the simulation by taking the cartridge out of the Nintendo and blowing into it and putting it back in,” Pope said. “Maybe that’s what we need in the world today is just a hard reset.”

These days the band is all about content,

content, content. And thankfully there’s no right way of doing it, so to follow up the White Noise EP will be a subsequent EP that will include the song the band is currently creating a music video for, “Ford Taurus.” Also on the horizon is the Sexbruise? May 14 Pour House event Face Funk 14.20 with multiple featured artists and of course, the usual ’Bruise? stage antics and snack throwing.

“I think some people assume because we have the name Sexbruise? and we’re doing comedy music that our music is going to be some sort of crude, gross-out comedy or toilet humor — really we’re actually very wholesome individuals that swear a lot and that’s it,” Pope said. “Kids actually love us because we have a shark that comes on stage.”

Slonecki concurred: “Actually all of our tactics work really well with kids, and we just don’t know what that says about us — we speak to the child inside, I guess.”
