Edisto Natchez-Kusso leader reflects on tribal survival

By Herb Frazier

Colleton County resident John Glenn Creel, chief of the Edisto Natchez-Kusso tribe of South Carolina, points to his father’s enlistment in the U.S. Navy as an example of how society tries to erase the presence of Native American people.

Creel’s father, Johnnie N. Creel, was a 19-year-old U.S. Navy recruit in 1954 when he was faced with the dilemma of deciding whether he was White or Black.

“My dad was forced to make a decision of a race he knew he was not,” the younger Creel told the Charleston City Paper. Creel said his father chose White when Native American was not an option on the enlistment form.

Many Native American people have experienced similar frustration when completing government, medical and employment forms, said Creel, the author of a 78-page anthology of his experiences of growing up in a tribal community that covers portions of Colleton and Dorchester counties.

“Historically, Native Americans were often excluded from census records or categorized misleadingly based on skin color, with light-skinned individuals identified as white, dark-skinned as colored or negro, and tan individuals labeled as

mulatto or mestizo,” Creel writes in

The Plight of Southeastern Native American Indian Tribes. Palmetto Publishing is scheduled to release the book July 22.

Tribal elders, aware of previous attempts in U.S. history to minimize or eliminate Indian ethnic identity, tried to shield the community from the outside world, Creel explained.

White religious leaders attempted to strip Indian communities of their culture and replace it with Christian orthodoxy, said Creel, pastor of Little Rock Holiness Church in Cottageville. Creel said he embraces his Christian heritage because “it was the church in our community that helped us preserve our culture.”

Church leaders also served as tribal leaders and in those positions they could block attempts to assimilate native people into the broader culture, he explained.

Tribal history

According to the 2020 U.S. Census, 2,300 Edisto Natchez-Kusso tribal members live along the Edisto River in the Creel Town Indian Community in Colleton County and the Four Holes community in Dorchester County.

The Edisto Natchez-Kusso is a blended tribe whose history begins in 1729 during the French and Indians War in Mississippi.

During the war, a band of the Natchez people left its Mississippi land near presentday Natchez to live among the Cherokee in North Carolina. By 1747, the Natchez left the Cherokee and settled in the Four Holes area.

Earlier in 1675, a group of Kusso people sold about 12,000 acres to the colonial government at today’s Charlestowne Landing, according to a story map prepared by College of Charleston assistant professor Brennan Keegan and post-graduate student Kit Kelly of Summerville.

Eventually, the Natchez and Kusso were pushed to the interior where they were granted land near the Edisto River and later joined to form its communities.

Beginning in the 1840s, they began to move from the land reserved for them to form Creel Town in Colleton County and Four

Gemstones show nabs 6 Emmy nominations

Charleston-filmed TV show The Righteous Gemstones received six Emmy nominations this year in several categories.

Episodes “Prelude” and “You Hurled Me Into the Depths…” were the two highlighted episodes to receive nominations in music, cinematography, costumes and makeup, while the show overall was nominated for stunt coordination.

This year’s nominations, combined with 2024 and 2022, lands the hit show with 10 Emmy nominations in its fourseason run.

The Righteous Gemstones stars creator, actor and director Danny McBride as well as John Goodman, Edi Patterson and Adam DeVine. The HBO series recently said goodbye to the Charleston area after wrapping its fourth and final season. The 2025 Emmy Awards will air live on CBS on Sept. 14.

Awendaw residents, leaders share multiple concerns over proposed development

By Skyler Baldwin

A proposed housing development along the edge of the Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge in Awendaw has residents and community leaders worried about its environmental impact.

Home construction group Pulte Home Company proposed more than 100 homes on about 109 acres of land called the White Tract. The group is awaiting permitting approval from the S.C. Department of Environmental Services (SCDES).

The White Tract project is split into two phases that each require permitting from SCDES. The permitting includes the agency’s Coastal Zone Consistency Certification.

Phase One of the project, a 27-home build plan, has already been granted that certification, as well as stormwater permit approval.

Phase Two includes the construction of 124 single-family homes on 110 acres of land. The proposal includes roadway and stormwater management to support the development. The project also includes plans to use individual septic tanks for each home, posing a risk to the area’s waterways.

“They shouldn’t be building anywhere near the water anyway,” said Charleston County Council Vice Chair Larry Kobrovsky, whose district includes the proposed development site. “What’s in those tanks will leech into the water over time, and we are trying to get SCDES to deny those permits.”

Kobrovsky said he has heard an uproar from his Awendaw and McClellanville constituents. He also said his father-in-law, J.P. McClellan, was part of the group that helped create the Cape Romain National

Waterfowl Refuge during the Great Depression, making the preservation of the land a personal matter for him.

“I can’t imagine jeopardizing this land,” he said. “The Cape Romain Wildlife Refuge is like sacred land. I’ll do everything in my power to preserve it.”

The agency held a public meeting Monday night for residents to share their thoughts ahead of its decision.

Friends of Coastal South Carolina, an environmental advocacy group, and other residents spoke out against the proposed development. Speakers said the forest and wildlife refuge have been protected for more than 100 years, and the plan poses a threat to the area’s wildlife, primarily due to its stormwater plans. In addition to the septic tanks, the proposal includes detention ponds. Tunoff is expected to leave the site and enter the Sewee Bay.

In addition to community members, other agencies have spoken out against the development plan. Kyle Brown of the state Department of Natural Resources’ (DNR) Office of Environmental Programs wrote a 10-page letter. The agency’s concerns ranged from hazardous conditions during prescribed burning in the wildlife refuge to its impact on isolated wetlands that support native wildlife.

The project plans also show a 35-foot buffer between wetlands and the development, while the DNR recommends a vegetated buffer of at least 150 feet.

Mount Pleasant steps ahead with stricter e-bike rules

By Damian Bertrand

Mount Pleasant is considering changes to its current e-bike ordinance to ease the public’s concerns after increased incidents of reckless riding and illegal use of mopeds.

The town council last week unanimously voted to approve the first reading of the amended ordinance, which would allow officers to penalize not only adults but also children for violating regulations. Violators could face fines of up to $500 or 30 days in jail.

The town has had 86 collisions involving bicycles and e-bikes in the past three years, according to Mount Pleasant Police Chief Mark Arnold during a June town hall meeting. In 63% of cases, the cyclist was at fault, he said.

Concern really is over mopeds

Much of the public’s concern isn’t about traditional e-bikes, but about faster mopeds being ridden by children. These vehicles, unlike e-bikes, require registration and a license. E-bikes generally travel at speeds no more than 20 mph, compared to mopeds, which can hit speeds past 30 mph.

“The biggest problem is not true e-bikes,” Mount Pleasant Mayor Will Haynie said during last week’s town hall meeting. “The biggest problem is these things that are not e-bikes under state law. They’re actually mopeds, and that’s where the crackdown is going to be.”

Michele Wilkins, owner of Charleston Fitness Equipment, said she is increasingly worried about parents who purchase mopeds for their kids, mistaking them for e-bikes. Mopeds are the real concern, she said. “I think the people in Mount Pleasant are upset about the fact that a lot of the kids who are on the e-bikes are actually not even on electric bikes, but are on mopeds,”

Holes communities in Dorchester County. Creel is a descendant of William Bartholomew Creel, who founded the Creel Town Indian Community. Creel’s father, Johnnie N. Creel, also once led the tribe.

The erasure continues Creel earned a medical degree in 1999 from the Medical University of South Carolina. He is the director of the tribe’s Edisto Indian Free Clinic in the Four Holes Indian Community southwest of Ridgeville.

Wilkins said. “They don’t even have pedals, they’re literally just like mini-motorcycles.”

While Wilkins said her store doesn’t sell any bikes that go over 20 mph, she said she has seen a huge increase in parents buying e-bikes for their children. She emphasized that most ride safely and respectfully.

“There are a lot of respectable kids out there getting e-bikes,” Wilkins said. “It’s not that all are using them ineffectively. It’s just that there are always a few bad apples that are kind of ruining things for others.”

Increased enforcement of reckless bicycling is crucial to reduce hazards for the children, she said.

“They definitely need to be cracked down on, because right now, it’s just kind of like lawlessness out there, and unfortunately, until somebody gets seriously hurt or dies, the kids aren’t going to stop misbehaving,” Wilkins said.

E-bike sales aren’t anticipated to drop if the ordinance is passed, Wilkins said. It might even increase.

“We might actually see more business from parents for kids that are buying a less dangerous or more conservative style of bike, so I don’t think it’s going to impact our business in a negative way at all,” Wilkins said.

Discouraging reckless biking

Mount Pleasant resident Kay Addis said she thought that the town wasn’t doing enough

“Our goal is to become more public to get people to know we are here.”

—John Glenn Creel, chief of the Edisto Natchez-Kusso tribe

In his book, he recalled that during his tenure on a local cancer board, he suggested adding Native-American as an option on a patient’s intake form. The recommendation

to curb reckless riding.

“I don’t think the current ordinance is being enforced,” Addis said. “I don’t think that a lot of the riders are following the rules of the road in terms of using hand signals and giving pedestrians the right of way.”

Enforcement of e-bike regulations has been challenging for officers, said Arnold, the police chief. There have been several instances of Juveniles fleeing when officers attempt to stop them.

“I, for one, am not interested in pursuing a 14-year-old or 13-year-old for an e-bike violation,” Arnold said. “The danger of that is way too high.”

Addis agrees that an updated ordinance could stop e-bikes from becoming a bigger public safety concern, especially for children.

“Generally, people don’t like rules and regulations,” Addis said. “But when it comes to public safety, I think we need to do more rather than less.”

Without increased regulation, the community’s safety will decline, Addis said.

“I think more and more young children will continue to behave irresponsibly,” Addis said. “That’s not to say that everybody who rides an e-bike is behaving irresponsibly. There is just a group who is, and I’m concerned about them, and I’m an older citizen who could be easily knocked over, and so I’m worried for people like me.”

received praise, but Creel resigned from the board when it didn’t act on his suggestion.

Earlier this year, the Edisto NatchezKusso and eight other South Carolina tribes formed an alliance to secure cultural preservation, historical and physical conservation, economic development and sovereignty.

The alliance includes the Catawba Nation, the only tribe in the state that’s recognized by the federal government. The Edisto Natchez-Kusso are among four tribes that are also seeking federal recognition.

Creel said through the alliance “our goal is to become more public to get people to know we are here.”

Blotter of the Week

North Charleston on July 5 responded to the reported theft of a bounce house after the owner allegedly rented it to someone else for an event, and one of the guests apparently took it before it could be returned. This might be one of the most difficult items to steal we’ve ever seen successfully stolen, and frankly, we’re just as impressed as we are confused.

Old car smell

A West Ashley man who was driving a truck in apparent disrepair on June 24 reportedly dripped a “tar-like” substance on the street outside another man’s Saint Andrews Boulevard home. The driver told police several repair shops refused to work on it due to its “foul smell,” despite several power washings. Yeah, we hear that happens with age.

Bad sequels

Mount Pleasant police on July 7 responded to the Charleston Harbor Resort after an apparently drunken man pushed over a computer monitor after yelling and looking for his wife. Police noted the monitor was not damaged, and they advised the man to “sleep it off” without pressing any charges. Wow, this new Tron movie doesn’t seem nearly as compelling as the classics.

Tell your GOP congressman: Stop dumb weather forecasting cuts

There’s a conservative way and a liberal way to invest. The conservative mantra is to use strategies that reduce risk and seek stable growth. The liberal way is to accept additional risk so you can get potentially better returns.

This formula essentially holds true in the world of weather forecasting as well, where the nation (federal government) pays for staff and tools to give “we the people” a heads-up when conditions are ripe for a hurricane, tornado, wildfire or flash flood. It’s a national responsibility because there are huge economies of scale gin having a centralized function to keep up with the big picture of weather. (Imagine the waste if all 50 states had offices dedicated to weather forecasting.)

In the world of weather forecasting, investing in people and data tools, such as weather balloons and hurricane hunter jets that fly into storms to take meteorological data readings, is smart government. And to date, the United States has done it well, as forecasts have improved greatly since the days of Hurricane Hugo.

So the conservative approach to weather forecasting is to invest enough resources in people and data tools to make sure the job gets done well. That’s been the status quo. But cutting the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, where the National Weather Service lives, and affiliated disaster-related agencies boosts risks. Cutting forecasting by $2 billion is a liberal approach that Republicans in Congress took by passing President Donald Trump’s irresponsible budget bill earlier this month. Cutting the forecasters and research tools at the National Hurricane Center isn’t going

to make Charleston any safer. Republicans in Congress are flirting with disaster.

They’re looking at disasters with a very narrow focus that’s going to end up biting them in the butt. As veteran forecaster Robert Atlas, former director of NOAA’S Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory, said last week in a news conference, the loss of the lab could reduce forecast accuracy by up to 40%, which would cost the economy more than $10 billion during a single hurricane season — if only two major hurricanes hit the United States. Sometimes we get more.

De-investing in weather forecasting is a really dumb idea. Having less information about an approaching storm and giving less time to people to get out of wrath’s way is a really dumb idea. If these cuts to professionals, research and analysis are allowed to stand, people will die, as U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., said this month.

We urge you to call the lockstep Republican members of Congress in South Carolina who voted for Trump’s budget bill and tell them to protect weather forecasting to keep America safe. That means calling U.S. Reps. Nancy Mace (1st District), Joe Wilson (2nd), Sheri Biggs (3rd), William Timmons (4th), Ralph Norman (5th) and Russell Fry (7th) as well as U.S. Sens. Lindsey Graham and Tim Scott.

The telephone number to the U.S. House switchboard is 202-225-3121; the Senate switchboard is 202-224-3121. Or you could phone your local representative’s South Carolina office to complain. Or both.

CHARLESTON CHECKLIST

of community objectives

We encourage community leaders to act on these audacious priorities:

1. Deal with the water. Build a strong resiliency plan to harden infrastructure and make smart climate change decisions about development, roads and quality of life.

2. Fix roads, traffic. Repair and improve roads and reduce traffic. Speed up alternatives, including more public transportation.

3. Be smarter about education. Inject new energy into the broken Charleston County school board by focusing on kids, not national mantras.

4. Conduct public business in public. Be transparent in public business. Stop the secrecy.

5. Invest in quality of life. Build more parks. Have more festivals. Invest in infrastructure that promotes a broad sense of community.

6. Engage in real racial conciliation. If we embark on more conversations and actions on racial reconciliation, our community will strengthen and grow.

7. Develop fewer hotels, more affordable housing. Make Charleston a more affordable place to live for everyone.

8. Develop Union Pier at scale. Let’s not put ship-sized buildings on the coveted Union Pier property downtown. Instead, make what comes appropriate.

9. Build and follow a 50-year plan. Plan for the county’s long-term future and follow the plan.

10. Pay people more. Pay a living wage. Push South Carolina lawmakers to set a real minimum wage.

South Carolina’s presidential ride to get wilder

By Andy Brack

What South Carolinians saw last week as Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom made a two-day swing through the state was more than a highly visible candidate who probably will run for president in 2028.

They saw a guy sweating through a white shirt in the South Carolina heat who was having fun. Yep, he seemed to enjoy engaging with voters in rural places too often forgotten by many candidates — deeply red Upstate counties like Laurens, Oconee and Pickens as well as some blue Pee Dee places like Marion and Chesterfield counties.

Too many politicians these days seem to slog through interactions with voters as if it were a chore. Or they hold highly-scripted town halls that feel more like a corporate conference.

Years ago, U.S. Sen. Fritz Hollings underscored the importance of getting out of the office by ensuring that he visited each of the state’s 46 counties each year. One week might find him walking through courthouses, stopping by small radio stations and having mostly impromptu lunches at local meat-and-three restaurants. Others might find coffee visits in diners and other places to practice the age-old art of retail politics.

The point was to connect with people and learn. That’s what Newsom seemed to enjoy in South Carolina as he dove into red areas from which too many of today’s leaders flee.

“American citizens feel like they’re being hunted, racially profiled,” Newsom said in a Marion County coffee shop, referring to recent immigration raids in Los Angeles. “That’s why I’m here — we cannot afford to allow this to happen.”

Throughout his visits, people responded, packing events coordinated by the state Democratic Party and saying how they enjoyed listening to him speak his mind.

“Governor Newsom leads the largest economy in America and the fourth largest in the world, and he’s coming to meet folks in towns that have been hollowed out by decades of Republican control,” state party chair Christale Spain said ahead of the politicking. “This is about building partnerships, uplifting communities, and showing rural voters they aren’t forgotten.”

It was clear that the stump tour got under the skin of state Republicans like Attorney General Alan Wilson, now a candidate for governor in 2026, and U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace, who is looking at running for governor.

“We’ve seen what his leadership looks like: sky-high crime, gas prices, taxes and homelessness,” Wilson tweeted. Newsom responded tersely, “Your homicide rate is literally DOUBLE California’s.”

And Mace screeched, “Don’t California my South Carolina” in a post calling on Newsom to debate.

He replied: “So you don’t want: lower homicide rates, lower gun death rates, lower taxes for working families, lower maternal mortality rates, higher GDP, higher wages, higher life expectancy, free pre-kindergarten, free community college, free school meals and total domination in every major industry. Time for a bathroom break, Nance.”

All of it has got to make you laugh a little. And what voters saw during his visits was somebody who isn’t afraid of the Republican claptrap we’ve been hearing for far too long in South Carolina.

S.C. Sen. Ed Sutton, D-Charleston, said Newsom’s visits to rural counties was smart politics and good leadership.

“When we don’t show up, that space gets filled with the cable news fear-mongering,” he told sister publication Statehouse Report. “South Carolina Democrats are the ones fighting to preserve rural hospitals, defend public education and push back against tariffs that raise the cost of everyday goods. Newsom’s tour helps remind voters of that and reaffirms that no community should be written off or forgotten.”

Even though it’s more than three years before the next presidential election, South Carolina’s important early primary is just 30 months or so away. That means more national candidates interested in the White House will be streaming through, such as U.S. Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., and Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear.

Strap in. The ride is going to get wilder.

A BIG MESS

By Andy Brack

There’s one thing you can just about guarantee every summer: A hurricane will threaten the Holy City.

Through the years, we’ve learned the more advance warning we have, the better. People have more time to prepare with a time-tested routine of boarding up windows, strategically placing sandbags and heading to the grocery store to stock up on supplies. Others evacuate.

But with the Trump administration’s huge ongoing and planned cuts to federal staff and funding of the nation’s storm forecasting abilities, the storms of the future may pose more of a risk than ever before. And it’s not because of climate change. It’s because of changes that will scale back forecasting.

With hundreds of millions of dollars of cuts, forecasters will have less data, which will increase uncertainty and reduce accuracy of forecasts. And they’ll have less expertise thanks to forced retirements and firings. Bottom line, as U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., said last week in a virtual news conference, “People will needlessly die.”

U.S. Rep. Jim Clyburn, a senior Democrat who represents the peninsula in Congress, said during the briefing with former weather experts that it was “beyond comprehension” that anyone in office would seek to cut forecasters and staffing at an alphabet soup of disaster response agencies — the NHC, NWS, NOAA and FEMA. (Also known respectively as the National Hurricane Center, National Weather Service, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and Federal Emergency Management Agency.)

“We have the responsibility to do what is necessary to not just give the warnings but also be prepared to respond to their (people’s) needs when they are presented” with weather challenges that are sure to come, Clyburn said.

The steps to creating hurricane forecasts

Dr. James Franklin, former branch chief of NOAA’s National Hurricane Center in Florida, outlined the data-driven research process developed through the years to forecast storms that impact the Atlantic and Gulf coasts and keep the public apprised of risks.

Looking at images. “First, when fore-

Hurricane cuts could create forecasting havoc

casters prepare the tropical weather outlooks, they’ll consult satellite-based wind and moisture analyses prepared by a NOAA institute and other satellite tools. From that, the institute helps NHC estimate the strength and size of hurricanes when they’re outside the range of reconnaissance aircraft.”

Getting jet data. When storms threaten land, the NHC relies on instrument readings from a NOAA jet that measures the currents that steer storms. Data can improve a forecast by up to 20%, he said.

Other planes collect Doppler radar data from the hurricane core that can improve some model forecasts by 30%.

Using custom algorithms. When estimating a storm’s size and strength, researchers use an algorithm and an instrument developed by NOAA.

Modeling. To make a forecast, specialists use models that were developed by NOAA researchers.

Communicating. The NHC communicates timely graphics through its website to quantify and describe the risk of a storm.

But changes loom

But if all of the tools aren’t in the toolkit of forecasters, the process will suffer. Charleston meteorologists privately say they’re worried about federal slashes to staff and infrastructure because that will mean they won’t have as much data as they’ve had for accurate forecasts.

“You can’t bake the cake without the ingredients,” said one forecaster, who asked to remain anonymous.

Another later added, “The models are only as good as the data that goes in. … It’s definitely a little concerning.”

Here’s a look at how the just-passed federal budget is crippling for weather forecasting, according to members of Congress, veteran weather researchers and news reports:

Direct cuts. $200 million was removed for improved weather forecasting and community resiliency projects. NOAA will suffer an additional $2.2 billion in additional cuts in the year ahead, including elimination of its Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research, the agency’s chief research arm.

Labs. More than two dozen weather and climate labs will be closed, which Wasserman Schultz said poses the risk of losing 75 years of research history.

Research planes. The budget killed a $400 million investment in new hurricane hunter planes and slashed flight hours in half, which will further reduce data collection, according to Dr. Robert Atlas, former director of NOAA’s Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) in South Florida. Also impacted: data collection from weather drones, gliders and balloons.

“There would be no more scientific support for NOAA’s hurricane hunter missions as well as for airborne drones and ocean gliders,” Atlas said during the July 9 conference. “As a result, vital data would no longer be assimilated into hurricane models or be available to forecasters and researchers.”

What it all means

Atlas said understaffing and cuts at weather offices would have a major impact on the ability to forecast in the future — the exact worry of Charleston meteorologists. Shortsighted cuts, in fact, could cost a lot in the long run, he said.

“The loss of AOML and its cooperative institute would result in a 20% to 40% decrease in hurricane forecast accuracy, which would cost the economy more than $10 billion for a single hurricane season — if only two hurricanes, major hurricanes were to hit the United States.”

Wasserman Schultz said Trump was targeting everyday Americans with reckless cuts.

“He’s abandoning everyone,” she said. “These cuts don’t even make financial sense. Every major hurricane can bring billions in damage, easily more than NOAA’s entire proposed budget. Killing off preventive investments invites steeper losses for taxpayers.”

Why it matters

A local meteorologist recalled how good forecasts during Hurricane Hugo in 1989 saved lives. Back then, federal forecasts gave 72 hours of warning with a 300-mile range of probable impact. Since then, with more data, forecasters routinely give five days of warning and a narrower 200-mile range of impact.

But if cuts in the just-passed budget bill

What is storm surge?

Storm surge is the abnormal rise of water along the shore, due to the push of storm winds. Here are some of the average estimated effects of a hurricane’s winds and storm surge:

Winds: 156+ mph

Complete roof failure on many residences and buildings. Some complete building failures.

Winds: 131-155 mph

Some complete roof structure failures on small residences. Extensive damage to doors and windows.

Winds: 111-130 mph

Some structural damage to small residences and utility buildings.

Winds: 96-110 mph

Some roofing, door and window damage to buildings.

Winds: 4-95 mph

Minimal damage to homes. Some coastal road flooding and minor pier damge.

effects.

actually happen as now expected, there will still be forecasts from the National Hurricane Center. But the quality of forecasting could be set back 25 years, the local professional said.

Some things in the federal government need to be cut, the other forecaster said. But not weather forecasting. “This is something that government does well. When you cut people and positions, holes are going to be left.”

Clyburn said the storm watches and warnings along the coast make a difference in people’s lives.

“People will needlessly die.”

—U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla.

“There is absolutely no substitute for the warnings. The only way that people can get prepared or prepare themselves to get prepared is for these warnings to be in place.

Flavor bomb: This isn’t your regular soy sauce

By Helen Mitternight

If you think you know soy sauce from using what you find in the grocery aisle, that’s like claiming to be a wine expert after tasting grape juice. Soy sauce, it turns out, can have the nuance and complexity of a fine wine.

Yuichiro “Junior” Takebata makes custom soy sauce for his restaurant, Hachiya Ramen, that took about 100 tries over six years to perfect. “I liked seeing my customers’ reactions to the food. I wanted to see that kind of reaction to the soy sauce, too,” he said. “I kept trying. It wasn’t right and it wasn’t right, and then it was. I let my palate tell me when it was done. But even today, I still try to refine and improve it.”

Takebata, who said he finally got the recipe right in 2018 when working at Hachiya Kyoto Steakhouse and Sushi Bar in West Ashley, recently gave the Charleston City Paper a behind-the-scenes invitation to witness the beginning of his top-secret soy sauce recipe.

Steps in the process

The process starts with hand-wiping extra salt from stalks of dried seaweed that look like a basket full of knee-high flat reeds. A 10-gallon pot of regular soy sauce — the kind you get in the grocery store — simmers on a two-burner stove next to pieces of pork slow-boiling into what will later become broth. The regular soy sauce is the starter for what Takebata gussies into his own sauce.

“I wish I could make my sauce from soy beans, but I could never find the industrialsized mashers, so I start with this,” he said. The stalks of seaweed are added, and Takebata swishes a white paddle almost as tall as he is through the pot. Next, he blends a bed-pillow-sized bag of bonito — a fish related to tuna and mackerel — into the brew. The bonito is dried into what looks like light pink pencil shavings and it floats atop the sauce until Takebata pushes it down with the paddle. A light, inoffensive fishy smell floats from the pot. The bonito will soak for anywhere

What’s new

Cafe Charlotte , a new bakery and café on Orleans Road in West Ashley, comes from a team that relocated from Berlin to Charleston. It offers the flavors and traditions of Berlin and Europe, serving German pastries and Mediterranean-influenced bagels, sandwiches, salads and coffee. Diners can get everything from Schnitzel to quiche to strudel. More: cafecharlottesc.com

The Waverly, a private event space and wedding venue, is now open at 94 Stuart St. The space blends classic Southern charm with modern elegance, and is a concept from Uptown Hospitality, the group behind Charleston concepts Uptown Social, Bodega, Share House and By the Way. More: thewaverlychs.com

What’s happening

between 15 minutes to an hour, until the dry flakes turn glutenous and brownish from the soy. Takebata spoons out a soaked piece for this reporter to try. It’s delicate, almost shrimp-like in flavor.

“Sometimes I would just eat this on rice,” he said with a smile. “It’s good, right?”

He turns up the fire. Takebata then carefully takes the temperature of the dark brown liquid. Too hot and it turns bitter. The sauce will cook for four to five hours and then go into the cooler for about 20 hours. There will be several more rounds of the cooking and cooling process. It will take three days until the sauce is finished, and Takebata said he believes he is the only person making his own soy sauce in the entire state, if not the Southeast.

The journey

As the soy sauce cooks, Takebata relates his journey to making his own sauce. He came to the United States from Japan when he was 19 in 2008.

“I had only my passport when I got a job with my mom’s best friend’s brother in Myrtle Beach,” Takebata said. “I had no English, no cooking skills, nothing. I worked from 7 a.m. to midnight to prove to him that I should stay, but after two months he told me to go back to Japan and get experience at a sushi bar. He said I would need that experience for a visa so I could work at his sushi place.”

Takebata spent two years learning sushi in Japan before returning to the States

in 2011 armed with the skills he’d need for that visa. He worked for the same friend’s Miyabi Japanese Steak & Seafood Restaurant in Savannah until 2012 before moving to the West Ashley sushi restaurant, where he worked until 2024 when he opened Hachiya Ramen.

Back to that sauce

When the soy sauce is done, it is used for three dishes: Karaage, a Japanese-style fried chicken; alongside pork buns; and to marinate the soft-boiled eggs that are served atop the cold or hot ramen bowls for which the restaurant is becoming known. The eggs — purchased locally from Storey Farms — are soaked in the sauce three times and the final product produces eggs whose whites are the color of strong tea. Takebata says he goes through 1,000 to 1,500 eggs a week, each dunked in his special soy sauce.

Takebata urged guests to taste the difference, setting out a bowl of soy sauce from the grocery store and one from an earlier batch he made.

The grocery sauce tastes predictable, salty but flat. The homemade sauce? Bursting with an almost smoky umami, leaving a slight fishy aftertaste. It was salty, but not in the obliterate-your-tastebuds way of the soy sauce that comes in packets with sushi.

It’s not something Takebata sells in bottles. The only way to get this sauce is to have it alongside one of the dishes on the ramen restaurant menu.

Mediterranean restaurant Costa is now offering Summer Apericena Hour, an Italian tradition that combines an aperitif with dinner. The three-course menu serves bold flavors alongside a curated selection of dishes including pecorino ravioli, grilled Cherry Point swordfish and tiramisu.

Metalcore group Hatebreed headlines Summer Slaughter festival on July 22

By Vincent Harris

The Charleston Music Hall will become a sweaty metal club for one night only on July 22 when the Summer Slaughter tour rips into town. Six bands will brutalize the stage that Tuesday night in what are sure to be unforgettable performances.

Topping the bill is Hatebreed, a Connecticut metalcore band that has been surprisingly commercially successful, given its ultraheavy sound. Since forming in 1994, Hatebreed has become one of the most reliable bands on the metalcore scene, routinely selling hundreds of thousands of albums with each new release.

Hatebreed’s streaming numbers are even more impressive. The band’s most popular track, “Looking Down the Barrel of Today,” has been streamed more than 115 million times.

The Summer Slaughter tour started back in 2007, but Hatebreed has never been on the bill. Past performers include popular bands like the Black Dahlia Murder, Whitechapel, Cannibal Corpse, the Dillinger Escape Plan and Morbid Angel.

After taking a couple of years off for Covid-related reasons, the tour is back.

“It’s a well-known festival,” said Hatebreed drummer Matt Byrne in a recent conversation with the Charleston City Paper. “It’s been around a lot of years. So to be part of it, and to be headlining something like this, is an honor.”

Byrne also pointed out that this year’s lineup covers a wide variety of styles under the umbrella of the metal genre, and he isn’t wrong.

Kicking off the day is Incite, an Arizona quartet that mixes funk grooves and thrash tempos. Up next is South Carolina’s own Slackjaw, which is probably the most straightforward metal band of the day. Snuffed On Sight plays relentless deathcore. Fort Worth’s Fugitive is based in loud-andfast punk music, and the popular hardcore group Gridiron plays just before Hatebreed.

“It’s not a death metal tour,” Byrne said. “It’s a mix of thrash and hardcore and punk, and it’s almost all newer acts. I feel like the tour is a perfect opportunity to shine some light on some new bands that are out there in the trenches.”

While Hatebreed’s music shows zero punk influence, it has a surprisingly punkrock approach to playing live. Hatebreed, despite releasing eight albums of relentless but precise metal epics, doesn’t use a set list.

“It’s very on the fly,” Byrne said of the band’s stage show. “The only times we’ve really used a set list is if we’re on some kind of time constraint. But otherwise, on our headlining shows, we know what we’re going to begin with and maybe what we’re going to end with but in-between could be anything.”

Having said that, there are some fan favorites that Hatebreed fans expect to hear, not just “Looking Down the Barrel of

Today.” Hits like “I Will Be Heard,” “Destroy Everything” and “Serve Your Masters” still figure prominently in the set.

“We try to cover a lot of territory,” Byrne said. “We can’t always do it, but we try to do one or two songs off of every album so that it’s an even mix of material from all through the years of Hatebreed. You’ll hear tracks from (the 1997 debut album) Satisfaction Is the Death of Desire all the way up to Weight Of The False Self (from 2020).”

Byrne said that regardless of the venue for the Summer Slaughter, the tour’s intention is to make a more intimate connection with fans of more extreme styles of metal music.

“It’s good to see a festival that can still highlight extreme bands or extreme metal,” he said. “But it’s a smaller festival that creates a different atmosphere. I think any artist will tell you that a more intimate setting creates a different feel than a wide open stage setting.”

Don’t mistake “intimate” for “quiet,” though. Byrne said there’s one thing he looks for to let him know that a show is going well.

“Typically, what I look for is a lot of moshing,” he said. “You can tell everyone’s having a good time.”

Rock for Rebuilding Hollers

Lose your cultural flab this summer

By Maura Hogan

Many of you are no doubt idylling on some stretch of shore, perhaps with little more than a bodice-ripper of a beach read when it comes to cultural consumption.

In previous years, July in Charleston was a low-arts month, with many arts lovers and practitioners still nursing a post-Spoleto hangover. But it’s time to shape up.

In a world where some see arts as a fourletter word, there is no time like the present to vigorously walk the walk to ensure arts vibrancy in the months and years to come.

The clear and present danger to such vibrancy dawned on me last year, when The New York Times’s conservative columnist David Brooks used his spaces to make a case for culture as a way to combat an increasingly mean world. Last week, he focused on the demise of the great American novel as a societal safeguard.

Brooks makes a solid point. The defunding of federal resources and the hijacking of institutions like the Kennedy Center may denude the national discourse of the hard truths that artists explore.

Right now, you might be preoccupied flipping burgers on your Big Green Egg or cozying up to friends with second homes. Meanwhile, local performers, painters and practitioners are now engaged in nailbiting guessing games about what shows and happenings are going to make or break their budgets.

What I suggest is simple. Steal a few moments to suss out Charleston’s fall cultural season, and then book early and often. By committing now to coming shows or season subscriptions, you’ll boost our arts community and help them plan accordingly.

Need a jumpstart? Here are a few happenings.

In recent years, Charleston has become quite the music mecca, with enough festivals and local talent to keep the aural water high and attract visiting talent.

For starters, I’ve already secured my tickets to see Elvis Costello and The Imposters with Charlie Sexton on Oct. 3 at the Charleston Gaillard Center. For athome listening pleasure, keep an ear out for Charleston’s two-time Grammy-getter Ranky Tanky. It has dangled the release of a new album, date to come.

In theater, here’s a fun fact. The excellent Best of Broadway series at North Charleston Performing Arts Center rounds out 2025 in December with Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas! The Musical, featuring a score by composer Mel Marvin. He is a Walterboro native who discovered his voca-

tion while studying pre-med at the College of Charleston, then meeting Dock Street Theatre greats Patricia and Emmett Robinson. There’s plenty on offer from local companies, too, among them Charleston Stage, the Footlight Players, PURE Theatre, Threshold Repertory Company and Village Repertory.

In dance, I’m keen to see the new work by celebrated Step Afrika!, presented at Charleston Gaillard Center on Oct. 2, as it’s already getting great buzz.

Visual arts should be extremely dynamic, with changing of the guard at prominent places that may well alter the look of this lane. At the Gibbes Museum of Art, H. Alexander Rich takes the baton from esteemed longtime president and CEO Angela Mack.

This month, the Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art welcomes new director and chief curator Michael Dickins, while Redux Contemporary Art Center has a new interim director in Charleston’s Buff Ross. And when it comes to the written word, Charleston continues to punch above its population size, with a fall rich in events including Charleston Literary Festival, Y’ALLFest, independent bookstore events and so much more. On Oct. 28, I myself will be moderating a talk at Charleston Library Society with George Stevens, Jr. on his Hollywood-happy autobiography, My Place in the Sun. (Take that, Brooks.)

There’s plenty more to glean by scrolling through websites while you idyll poolside. Just put down your Aperol spritz for a skinny minute, and get a taste of the fall season ahead. You’ll be in fine shape before you know it.

Free Will Astrology

ARIES (March 21-April 19): For the Dagara people of Burkina Faso, the element of fire has profound cultural meanings. It’s a symbol of innovation and inspiration. It’s a mediator between the physical and spiritual worlds and a conduit for communication with the ancestors. Through rituals, fire is a purifying and renewing force that helps people reconnect with their purpose, heal relationships and catalyze positive change in the community. In the coming weeks, Aries, I hope you will be deeply aligned with all these symbolic meanings. What are you ready to ignite for the sake of nurturing and care? What truths need light and heat? What future visions would benefit from surges of luminosity?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In the Nahuatl language spoken by Indigenous Mexicans, the word nepantla describes an in-between space. It’s a liminal threshold where a transition is in process. The old ways have fallen away, but the new ways are not yet fully formed. It’s unsettling and perhaps confusing, yet seeded with the potential for creative change. I suspect you are now in a state resembling nepantla, Taurus. Please understand that this isn’t a crisis. It’s a chrysalis. Any discomfort you feel is not a sign of failure, but a harbinger of the wisdom and power that will come by molting the identity you have outgrown. I hope you will honor the rawness and speak tenderly to yourself. You are not lost; you are mid-ritual.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The sea slug Elysia chlorotica is a small, unassuming creature that performs a remarkable feat: It eats algae and steals its chloroplasts, then incorporates them into its own body. For weeks afterward, the slug photosynthesizes sunlight like a plant. I believe, Gemini, that you are doing a metaphorical version of this biological borrowing. Some useful influence or presence you have absorbed from another is integrating into your deeper systems. You’re making it your own now. This isn’t theft, but creative borrowing. You’re not copying; you’re synthesizing and synergizing.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Ancient beekeepers in Anatolia carved hives directly into rock faces, coaxing honey from the cliffs. This practice was designed to protect bees from harsh weather and predators while maximizing honey production. The bees adapted well to their unusual homes. I suspect, Cancerian, that in the coming weeks, your sweetness and bounty may also thrive in unlikely structures. It could take a minute or two for you to adjust, but that won’t be a problem. Your nectarmaking instincts will guide you. So I advise you not to wait for the perfect container before beginning your work. Make honey in the best available setting.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): I laughed until I sobbed as you earnestly played the game of love even after the rules had changed. I sighed till I panted as you dredged up a new problem to avoid fixing an overripe hassle. I rolled my eyes until I got dizzy as you tried to figure out the differences between stifling selfcontrol and emancipating self-control. But all that’s in the past, right, Leo? Now I’m preparing to cheer until my voice is raspy as you trade in a dried-up old obsession in favor of a sweet, fresh, productive passion — and outgrow all the fruitless nuisances.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The ancient scribes of Mesopotamia etched records onto clay tablets with styluses, pressing wedge-shaped marks into wet earth. Once baked, these tablets endured for thousands of years. Some are still readable today. In my astrological assessment, Virgo, you are undergoing a metaphorically comparable process. Messages and expressions that are forming within you are meant to last. They may not win you immediate attention and applause. But you already suspect how crucial they will be to both your own future and the destinies of those you care for. Be bold, decisive, and precise as you choose your words.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Is there any aspect of your life or character that is still unripe even though it is critical to your life-long journey? Have you held on to your amateur status or remained a bit dilettantish beyond the time when you might have progressed to the next highest level? Are you

By Rob Brezsny

still a casual dabbler in a field where you could ultimately become masterful? If you answered yes to these queries, now is a perfect moment to kick yourself in the butt and leap to the next level. Waiting around for fate to kick your butt would be a mistake.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Many astrologers rightfully say that Virgo is the most detail-oriented, meticulous sign. I think you Scorpios may be the most methodical and thorough of all the signs, which means that you, too, can be meticulous and detail-oriented. A prime example is the Scorpio sculptor Auguste Rodin (1840–1917). Eventually, his work became world-renowned, but his career developed gradually because of his painstaking patience and scrupulous devotion to excellence. I propose we make him your role model for now. Inspired by him, resist pressure for immediate results. Trust in the slow, steady refinement process.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Here are half of your words of power for the coming days: windfall, godsend and boon. The other half are potion, remedy, and healing agent. If you’re lucky, and I think you will be, those terms will blend and overlap. The blessings that come your way will be in the form of cures and fixes. I’m being understated here so as to not sound too wildly excited about your immediate future. But I suspect you will wrangle at least one amazing victory over hardship. Your chances of a semi-miraculous visitation by a benevolent intervention are as high as they have ever been.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The ancient Chinese character for “listening” contains symbols for ears, eyes, and heart. I interpret this to signify that it’s not enough to seek the truth with just one of your faculties. They must all be engaged and working together to get the full story. You are wise to survey the world with your whole being. Keep these meditations in mind during the coming weeks, Capricorn. Your natural inclination is to be practical, take action, and get things done. But for now, your main superpower will be listening to everything. So my advice is to listen with your skin. Listen with your breath. Listen with your gut. Let your attention be so complete that the world softens and speaks to you about what you really need to know.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): If you would like to glide into rapt alignment with astrological rhythms, give gifts to your two closest allies. These offerings should inspire their ambitions, not indulge their cravings to be comfortable. They shouldn’t be practical necessities or consumer fetishes, but rather provocative tools or adult toys. Ideally, they will be imaginative boons that your beloved companions have been shy about asking for or intriguing prods that will help beautify their self-image. Show them you love both the person they are now and the person they are becoming.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Piscean photographer Ansel Adams is so renowned that he’s in the International Photography Hall of Fame. We know the moment that his lifelong passion erupted. At age 14, his family gave him a simple camera and took him to Yosemite National Park in California. “The splendor of Yosemite burst upon us, and it was glorious,” he wrote later. “One wonder after another descended upon us. A new era began for me.” In the coming months, I foresee you encountering a comparable turning point, Pisces — a magical interlude awakening you to a marvel that will become an enduring presence in your life. Be alert for it. Better yet, declare your intention to shape events to ensure it happens and you’re ready for it.
