I have never met Steve Skardon, but from what I know he seems to be doing good work as the executive director of the Palmetto Project. Palmetto Project is a nonprofit which helps working class families find affordable healthcare, procures books and laptops for school children, and connects families to community resources. Oh, yes he is also involved in registering people to vote according to the Palmetto Project website. Thats where Steve and I got crossed up recently. On Sept. 29, I wrote a column posing questions regarding South Carolinas iVotronic voting machines. A local citizen was getting little or no cooperation from state and county elections officials in his efforts to learn how the machines worked and sometimes failed to work. That citizen I called him a citizen investigator is Charleston commodities trader Frank Heindel. Heindel had sent a number of Freedom of Information requests to elections officials and found them less than prompt in their reply. I wrote a column about his queries and frustrations and he has since posted the results of his ongoing investigation at scvotinginfo.com. I was unaware of how deeply involved Skardon is with the state election system until I received an angry e-blast from him a few days after my column ran. Taken aback by his furious tone, I accepted his invitation to meet and discuss his take on our states voting machine problems. Then I received another email from Frank Heindel, with some curious and troubling information. It seems that the chairman of the board of the Palmetto Project is one Lee Bussell, who also happens to be chairman/CEO of Chernoff Newman, one of Columbias most prestigious advertising and public relations firms (http://sunshinereview.org/index. php/Chernoff_Newman). Bussell is well connected in state business and politics and was the S.C. Chambers Business Person of the Year, in 2007. Without a doubt, Lee Bussell is the

Chernoff Newman, received more than $500,000 for lobbying services from the state Election Commission for 2008/2009.

consummate citizen, then-University of South Carolina President Andrew Sorensen said on that occasion. He is a respected business leader, deeply devoted to his alma mater, and sensitively attuned to his family and community. More to the point, his company, Chernoff Newman, received more than $500,000 for lobbying services from the state Election Commission for 2008/2009. I am not accusing Skardon and Bussell of a conflict of interest here, but I am saying there is an appearance of possible impropriety, and as anyone in public relations knows, appearance can be more important than reality. This damage could have been mitigated with a simple in the name of full disclosure statement you see in public discourse almost daily. But in his many defenses of state and local election officials and the iVotronic voting machines, Skardon has said nothing of Lee Bussell or Chernoff Newman. There was certainly no mention of this connection in his angry email to me, the email in which he assured me, We have the best available election system currently on the market. Nor did he acknowledge Lee Bussell when he defended the voting establishment in an open letter to S.C. Democratic Party chairwoman Carol Fowler and in the pages of The State newspaper last summer, following the troubling June 8 Democratic primary. But he did assure Fowler and the public that South Carolinians have every right to be proud of their election system, and can be confident that their votes are recorded accurately. Not only does every vote count in our state, they are counted and counted accurately. Only last week he told Robert Behre of the Post and Courier ...this is the most reliable and accurate (voting machine) that is currently out there. But he did not mention that his board chairman is doing business with the state Election Commission and had received a half-million dollars for lobbying services. When I asked Skardon via email about his relationship with Lee Bussell, I received another blast of angry emails. They included the words libel and collusion. Lees volunteer service as chairman of our Board is hardly

a secret that needs to be disclosed to anyone, he wrote. Since 2008, his name has always been prominently listed as our chairman. Yes, but were his dealings with the Election Commission listed anywhere? Negotiations for a meeting broke down. I have yet to meet with Skardon. Steve Skardons relationship to the state Election Commission, vis--vis Lee Bussell, is a perfect metaphor for what is wrong with our voting machines and our election officials. Maybe there is nothing improper or unethical here, but there are enough questions and enough dubious behavior that a reasonable person has the right to be suspicious. The public deserves answers and transparency from the Election Commission and its defenders, yet what we get is foot-dragging and acrimony. talkback@columbiacitypaper.com

By Judit Trunkos The Columbia Museum of Art presents Contemporary American artist Lesley Dills solo exhibition titled I Heard a Voice: The Art of Lesley Dill. Dill has been working as a sculptor, photographer, printmaker and performance artist for the past 20 years and her most recent works are being exhibited in Columbia. This show surveys Dills exploration of the role and influence of language and words, especially poetry and creative writing, on humans. The exhibition, organized by the Hunter Museum of American Art in conjunction with George Adams Gallery, New York, includes 34 pieces from both public and private collections found throughout the United States as well as some sculptures specifically created for this exhibition. Dills work is nationally and internationally recognized. Dills awards include a sculpture fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts and a grant from the Joan Mitchell Foundation. Her work is in numerous major American museums such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art. Dills inspiration to meld literature and art extends from her education. Dill originally earned a Bachelor of Arts in English in 1972 from Trinity College in Connecticut and she only pursued a masters degree in fine arts in her 30s. Still, it wasnt until Dills mother gave her a book of Emily Dickinsons poetry that Dill found her artistic vision. Dickinsons words resonated with Dill, sparking images that the artist says she just could not ignore. A stay in India distilled her vision of art as an extension of language. Not speaking any of the native languages of India, Dill focused on the aural and visual aspects of the languages she encountered when creating her art. Additionally, Dill discovered the peace and balance of Buddhism. As a result, she departed from two dimensional pieces and explored the use of bronze, photography, poetry, thread, wire and paper to sculpt figures and build tapestries and other wireinstallations. The piece in this collection that best evokes Dills time in India is Rise. The hand-dyed giant cotton installation is a vivid red, making it visually dramatic. Red is an october 28, 2010 4

important color in Hinduism and used for auspicious occasions like marriages, the birth of a child, and tilakas - the mark warn on a Hindus forehead symbolizing the minds eye. The robed figure at the bottom of the installation is suggestive of an Indian monk or guru. This breath taking piece emphasizes the emotional interconnectedness as well as the social aspects of language and communication as the human figure in the center of the installation seems to be irrevocably tight to different, words and spiritual messages. Even though words and messages are created by humans, Dill illustrates the side-effect of communication; namely the interconnected spider web-like influence of words and message that we humans all seemed to be tangled in. Dills pieces often serve as illustrations to poetic texts by Emily Dickinson, Salvador Espriu, Franz Kafka and others. For Dill, words are her spiritual armor, and she freely stitches and weaves them across the surfaces of her multi-layered and mixed media works. Dills installations such as the Rush, Word Queen of Laughter and Rise combine the elements of language, such as letters into the human being and human form. Dills wire piece, Word Queen of Laughter symbolizes the power of words and the symbiotic relationship between women and words as well as the human form and communication. The tall foil, organza, wire, paint steel installation influences the viewer just as strongly as Dickinsons and Kafkas words influenced Dill. Because of Emily Dickinsons influence on Dills work, museum patrons would be remiss if they didnt also see The Columbia Museum of Arts current book-installation titled Emily Dickinson and Contemporary Fine Printing, a loan from the Thomas Cooper Librarys Rare Books and Special Collection. This collection of books celebrates the past 50 years of Dickinsons poems and helps to illuminate Dickinsons influence on Dill. The Dickinson book-installation can be viewed as preface of Dills show, as it illustrates Dills inspiration by Dickinsons world and also show the outcome of her artistic process. I Heard a Voice: The Art of Lesley Dill can be seen through January 23, 2011 at the Columbia Museum of Art on Main Street.

Letters to the
Dear broke ass trick-or-treater with no costume, I know times are tough, but give me a break, kid. You dont have to wow me, but at least put forth some effort. Draw a scary face on a paper sack and cut out a couple of eyeholes. Drape yourself in a discarded sheet. Hell, roll around in my lawn clippings and call yourself the Swamp Thing. Do something because otherwise youre not getting a treat this year. Im sick of being a sucker. And, you know what? I can make bold statements like those because your threats of a trick are idle. If you cant afford a crayon and a paper sack, you dang well cant afford to waste any toilet paper on my trees. Columbia City Paper Dear slim shady dude that always threatens to punch the actors in the Jaycees haunted house, That act may impress your mouthbreathing girlfriend, but the rest of us after years of enduring your retarded asswish youd just admit that youre scared. Due to a mixture of low I.Q. and rural superstition, youre actually frightened by some fake blood, black plastic tarps and strobe lights. And the only way you can cope is to punch a guy in a rubber mask whos volunteering for charity on his night off. Even more ridiculous is the fact that you usually brag about it later in the parking lot, as if you actually defended yourself from a real monster. This year, just skip the spook house if you cant deal. And, go put on a shirt, man. Its October. Columbia City Paper Dear apparition in my thermal imaging camera, Now, thats odd. Who would be crawling across the ceiling in the pitch dark? The other guys in the research team ought to get a load of this. Its a shame Ive gotten separated from them in this darkness, because, wow, the color signatures really just spiked when it crab-walked down the wall and then floated over to hover a few feet in front of me. Its like I can almost hear a faint, rattled breathing. What could be the cause of an anomaly like that? ...Oh. Columbia City Paper

Dear Halloween pranksters, There is no way youll be able to roll City Paper offices at 1737 Main St. (the big granite building at the corner of Main and Laurel). Nor will you be able to trick us by leaving a flaming dog turd in front of our big wooden front doors. Plus, if you see a City Paper stafferwe all plan to wear matching policeman costumes or yellow street team outfitswe know youre way too chicken to hit us from behind with a large bag of garbage. Try us. Columbia City Paper

Reader

Dear college coeds, Please heed the following Halloween public service announcement: To ensure your safety this season, we urge you to use caution when partying at the following locations: abandoned mental hospitals; isolated mountain campgrounds; former sites of grisly murders; or ancient Native American burial sites. Come to think of it, just dont drink beer and party anywhere. That goes double for couples leaving the larger group to find a place to make out. If you just cant contain yourselves, for Christs sake, at least dont make out in cemeteries located near nuclear power plants that may leak contaminants into the ground and cause zombie-ism in those buried on site. Fellas, if your area is plagued by a bloodthirsty psychopath known for wearing, say, a WWI-era gas mask on his annual Halloween killing spree, logic should tell you not to wear an identical mask. Its just common sense. Youll only confuse your friends later in the night and give the killer an advantage when he lumbers into your house party and starts systematically picking you off one by one. Inevitably, your girlfriend will start banging the real killer in the closet thinking its you, only to pull off the mask to reveal his hideous face seconds before he impales her with a pair of gardening shears. Aside from the dangers of house parties, girls, you should be particularly wary of allowing your date to drive you to a deserted area to park. It goes without saying that his car will likely get a flat tire. Should a flat occur, hell probably leave you sitting in the passenger seat in your underwear, draped in his letterman

jacket to stay warm, while he takes a shortcut through the swamp to that creepy hillbilly with the tow truck at the rundown gas station. (Undoubtedly, the one who warned you about driving out there after dark in the first place.) Now this is key: when youre sitting out there alone and hear scratching on the windows, dont say, Cmon Johnny quit fooling around and get out of the car to investigate. Youll thank yourself later when Johnnys headless corpse is slammed up against your window. At this point, try to control your hysterical screaming, take deep breaths and start the car. You will have a better chance of escape on a blown tire than if you fall out the door to run tripping and screaming through the swamp. Finally, whatever you do, dont try to shoot giant insects or yell challenges at anything purported to be haunted. If you accidentally run over the town witch, dont try to hide her body and think that nothing will happen. And, if you happen to work as a late night security guard at a morgue, dont greedily eat a sandwich while listening to headphones; thats just asking for it. If you employ the techniques above, chances are youll make it through another Halloween night. Columbia City Paper

That first but now it is Louisiana I think. They did it has to be proven that the environmental just pass a prison reform bill, which was crime caused at least 2 million dollars of pretty amazing that they did that. It was damage. Well that is something that you bi-partisan. I know that South Carolina really cant prove. Theres a lot of damage ranks pretty low in terms of how habitable that you dont know about until years our jails are. We spend less per capita on down the road. Consequently, there hasnt prisoners than just about anyone in the been any prosecution of environmental nation. They have to change the sentencing crimes by the state grand jury. And another structure. The whole tough on crime problem is that most environmental crimes theory everyone went for because it got are misdemeanors. Like look what has them votes.

federal issues. I tried to stay focused on issues like domestic violence, which actually McMaster has actually done some good work on that, and crime. They asked us what we would do to save money at the Attorney Generals office and I said, decriminalize marijuana. I felt bad because those guys didnt have a chance to respond to my suggestion because I know they wanted to. I just feel like the prohibition that it is going about as well as prohibition is to alcohol. California Proposition 19 is coming up, and you know the California NAACP has come out in support of Proposition 19 because a disproportionate number of young black men are in jail.

the theories on why everyone is getting heavy is that they are drinking sodas every meal of the day. And they say that the fake sweetener stuff starts giving people the symptoms of MS. CCP: What other issues are you raising? LM: We do need comprehensive hate crimes legislation. For example, the young gay teenager Sean Kennedy in Greenville, was punched in the face so hard he died and the guy got a year in jail. It was considered manslaughter because there was no hate crime legislation.

I think they should further tax cigarettes for health issues. There are problems with health care reform, they are making us buy into a broken system. We spend more on health care than anybody else in the world and we are some of the sickest people in the world. It is just sad. The CDC says that of the 2 trillion dollars we spend on health care that 1.5 trillion dollars is on preventable diseases. Most of that is because of what we eat and drink.

Peace and blessings. Hope you have been good out there. Congrats to Hootie & The Blowfish (the monument is long overdue!!!). Time has been breezing by. 2010 is almost coming to a close, but the music keeps on rolling. It would be poor of me if I did not at least give you guys some valuable information to use this month. October has been deemed National Domestic Violence Awareness Month for unfortunate, yet obvious reasons. With that in mind, today we will be talking to an artist that is using his music to make sure that the bright lights, fast cars, and pretty people are not the only topics you may find on the average persons iPod. FAT RAT DA CZAR- Something Aint Right THE INTERVIEW CCP: Something Aint Right is a video that deals with domestic violence, an issue that is unfortunately prevalent in American society. Why did you decide to tackle it? Well to be honest, at the time I did not know I was tackling it. I often make records about my own experiences and some of those records deal with unpleasant subject matter. This was obviously one of those times. It just so happened that me speaking on the subject raised some awareness, which ultimately turned a negative into a positive. Many feel that domestic violence is a womens issue. In Hip Hop, Eve is normally credited with bringing the issue to the forefront for many with the release of her song, Love Is Blind. It is rare that we see and hear about the brutality of domestic violence thru the eyes and mouth of WORDS OF WISDOM a male. Is there a personal connection to this The life you live is one to be preserved. epidemic for you or was this just a jolt of the People can only give you what you accept. right side of the brain? They only sell what you will buy --- Fat Rat Actually, this record was based on a true Da Czar.I couldnt have said it any better. story, which is kind of unfortunate all in itself. While recording Da Cold War 2, my man DJ KINGPIN-Villain of Vinyl (kingpinvillianofvinyl@gmail.com) october 28, 2010 10

Frank Hustle threw me the track and I initially had a different concept, but the womans voice in the sample just started sounding like someone that was hurting. At that point I started to scribble the hook. I was a bit hesitant about writing about something that hit so close to home especially when it involved someone elses real life. I did it anyway and let her hear it first. I think she was shocked at initially but was all for the record making the cut. CCP: Why go the route of mini movie for the visual of Something Aint Right as opposed to keeping as an album cut? Who directed it? Where is it available to be viewed? Well my man SMD, who shot Do Whud I Do, was talking about doing another video for the project and that he wanted it to be something that was somewhat shocking. He had the idea of presenting me and my music in a way that was so different from Do Whud I Do. He was feeling the record so he pitched me the treatment and I loved the idea. I was even given the opportunity pencil in a little bit of the script; which was a great look for me personally. We did not technically make this record a single; rather we tried to highlight a song that we thought people would feel. The video is currently on YouTube. Search Fat Rat Da Czar and it should pop up with my other videos. CCP: For someone going through that terrible situation, what words of reason would you provide, as opposed to the option portrayed in the video (i.e. - letting the heater blaze)? I would tell anyone to preserve their life at all costs. The tricky thing is not allowing oneself to be placed in such life threatening situations. That usually involves loving yourself enough to know when someone is toxic in your life. People can only give you what you accept. They only sell what you will buy. So dont overlook the warning label. If you could sum up why someone should view Something Aint Right in 4 words, what would they be? Rhymes Equal Actual Life (R.E.A.L.)

Pinna will perform two free shows: the first on October 29th at Wet Willies at 10pm, and the second on October 30th at Loose Cockaboose following the Tennessee football game. Pinnas set list never disappoints with fresh takes on classic rock songs like Get on Up, Born to be Wild, Not Fade Away and Running Down a Dream. Pinna is for fans of jam bands, but dont expect to be bored by a 25 minute version of Ants Marching. Youll remain interested through every funky breakdown, but to be honest the real treat is when these boys play their

originals. Lead guitarist George Fenters background as a composer gives Pinna more of a Trey Anastasio influence than other jam bands, which in turn gives Pinna a fresher sound than their contemporaries in the local jam scene. Pinnas talented group of musicians including Josh Miley on bass, Tim Pape on keys and Ryan Ball on drums has a knack for keeping the songs tight. So all you dirty hippies put on your patchouli and get ready to have a good time! music@columbiacitypaper.com

My husband and I have had an open marriage for the last two years. Up until five months ago, it was working beautifully. At that point, however, I was sexually assaulted by a former partner. Since that incident, I cannot stand sex with my husband. I completely flip out when he tries to initiate sexual contact. My skin crawls. I become panicked and feel repulsed. I just cannot handle it. Those times when I go along with it anyway leave me feeling enraged and disgusted. I dont think this is completely unheard of for someone who was relatively recently assaulted, and I am considering therapy to help me work through it. The immediate problem is that I have no difficulty having sex with my boyfriend. In fact, the sex with him is amazing and leaves me feeling loved and whole and wonderful. This is breaking my husbands heart. He has become incredibly jealous of my relationship with my boyfriend. Hes depressed. Hes angry. He accuses me of no longer loving him, and he wants me to stop sleeping with my boyfriend until our marriage is back to normal. I feel like a horrible person, but I just cant do that. I need that outlet. I need that support. And I admit I have a hard time believing that my husband and I will ever be able to go back to the way things were before. I feel like Ive already lost my former partner (fucked-up though that may seem) and my husband. It kills me to think about cutting out the one positive relationship remaining. On the other hand, I do love my husbandvery muchand watching him suffer like this is unbearable. Potentially Traumatized Sexual Deviant

Ive never heard of someone with two clits but I havent searched the medical literature or sought the opinion of an expert. And Im not inclined to search or seek when a letter is so transparently fake. (Opaque fakes are fine; every letter that makes it into the column is a good hypothetical question for every reader save one.) People whose genitals are different or ambiguous or terrifyingmaybe thats not an extra clit but the tip of your parasitic twins nosefrequently have questions and concerns, TMF, but multiple earthshaking orgasms arent high on the list. You dont have a single clit, TMF, much less two. Youre a horny boy with a dick, an e-mail account, and an obsession with/terror of a womans potential capacity for unlimited sexual pleasure. And Im hopingIm hoping against hopethat seeing your letter in print isnt your peak sexual experience. But odds are... I am a 47-year-old gay man who has a desire to be humiliated and degradedby a straight guy! How do I make this happen? Do I just walk up to a straight guy and tell him I want to get on my knees and clean his shoes with my tongue while he spits on me and calls me names? Or that I want to eat out of a dog dish on the floor while he laughs at me? How the hell do I make this happen? Please dont say, Settle for a very straight-acting and straightlooking gay guy. I have tried that, and it doesnt work! The guy must be totally and completely straight! Otherwise, its just not a turn-on for me. Im so desperate that Im almost willing to pay for it ! Worthless Piece Of Shit Long odds: If you have a wide circle of sexually adventurous straight friends, WPOS, and you are open with all of your friends about your kinks in a friendly, nonthreatening manner, maybe one or two of your straight male friends might be indulgent/perverse enough to want to engage in a little role-play with you. (And, yes, its possible to make someone feel threatened by offering to lick their boots and take their abuse.) Somewhat shorter odds: Dont have friends like that? Well, there are a lot of BDSM groups and orgs out there that are mixed, i.e., they have gay, lesbian, straight, bi, and trans members, and most host mixed play parties. Get involved with one, be open about your kinks, and youll meet a few kinky straight male tops who would get a kick out of slapping you around. Best odds: Pay for it, already. Im a het male professional in my mid-20s who wants to find a female dominant partner. Pro-dom services abound for stereotypes like me, but Im looking for a D/s relationship rather than just playtime. Predictably, I cant find one. Women I meet randomly are mostly socialized to want dominant men, and kink personal sites like FetLife only make my plight look even direr: Nearly all the doms are either pros or in their 50s. Its a given that dominant women my age are unicorns, but how can I maximize those slim chances? Seeking Unrestrained Bitch By keeping your kink personal ad updated unlike unicorns, kinky younger women do exist, and you want them to be able to find your ad when they troll on FetLifeand by reconciling yourself to the fact that most submissive straight men in D/s relationships met vanilla women who werent perverts themselves but were pervertible. CONFIDENTIAL TO LGBT YOUTH: Please check out the new, improved, expanded, and totally awesome It Gets Better Project site: www.itgetsbetterproject.com. And please dont kill yourself. mail@savagelove.net

Im sorry that you were sexually assaulted thats awful, PTSD, and I hope you went to the police and I hope youre pressing charges. But I also hope you know that being the victim of sexual assault is not a Get Out of Being a Human Being Free card. Just because youve been victimized doesnt mean you operate in an alternate moral universe where youre not obligated to take other peoples feelings into considerationparticularly the feelings of people you profess to love and happen to be married to. Your first priority in the wake of your assault had to be your own physical and emotional safety, of course, but your behavior toward your husband is both cruel and selfish. If you truly loved your husband and valued your marriage, PTSD, you wouldve put the boyfriend on hold and gotten your ass into therapy without having to be told. It looks to me like you want out of this marriage. But instead of taking responsibility for wanting out, youre playing the victim card while slamming both hands down on your marriages self-destruct button. To sum up, PTSD: Youre being a total shit. Do you love your husband? Is your marriage a priority? Then start acting like it: Cut the boyfriend off for the indefinite futureand get your ass onto a counselors couch. If youre not willing to do those things, PTSD, then stop emotionally assaulting your husband and put both your marriage and him out of their misery. I have two clits. How common is this? I have never been able to ride a bike because I have an earthshaking orgasm as soon as I get on the seat. I come on the busthe soft vibrations are too much! Walking anywhere in tight pants gets me moaning. Is there anything I can do, or rub on myself, to avoid having multiple orgasms in public? Two Much Fun
