In this episode of the Dover Download podcast, Deputy City Manager Christopher Parker chats with José Feliciano and Terry Ellen Carter from the Committee for Racial Equity and Inclusion (CREI). Carter opens with a land acknowledgment honoring the Abenaki, Penacook, and Wabanaki peoples, a practice the committee observes at every meeting. Feliciano, a mechanical engineer originally from Puerto Rico and current CREI chair, explains the committee was formed in response to the murder of George Floyd in 2020, serving in an advisory role to identify opportunities for Dover's government to address racial bias and promote inclusion. He highlights the committee's role in recommending the renaming of the First Settlers Cemetery to the Thomas Roberts Cemetery as an example of meaningful, representative action. Carter encourages broader membership, particularly business owners, noting gaps in Dover's offerings such as the lack of a salon serving Black women and the absence of an international grocery store. Feliciano discusses the committee's community outreach strategy, including attending a diversity celebration at Woodman Park Elementary School where they gathered feedback revealing a need for translation services in city offices. Looking ahead, the committee plans a chalk art event at Immigrants Park in partnership with the Arts Commission to represent the flags of immigrant communities not currently displayed there. In This Week in Dover History, we learn about a 1923 incident involving the Soldiers and Sailors Civil War Monument. Residents discovered the bronze sword held by the sailor statue had been bent, with shoe prints along the base suggesting someone had climbed it. Police suspected youthful vandalism, given the monument's proximity to the high school. The local newspaper, Foster's Daily Democrat, called for repairs before Memorial Day and for the culprits to face the municipal court judge. The monument still served as the centerpiece of Dover's Memorial Day tribute that year, draped in an American flag and surrounded by flowers as 18 Civil War veterans marched in the parade.

From skyrocketing state budgets to bizarre taxpayer-funded projects, today's episode breaks down the latest in South Carolina politics, the SAFE Act showdown, and the power of viral social media in holding politicians accountable. Join us as we unpack government spending, lewd art exhibits, and how public pressure is pushing Senator John Thune on the SAFE Act—all while exposing the myths mainstream media keeps pushing. Summary / Segment Breakdown: Segment 1: Columbia Math & Budget Madness South Carolina plans to spend 8.75% more this year, despite a population growth of only 1.5%. Discussion of lobbyists, corporate welfare, and unusual funding priorities under a Republican supermajority. How taxpayer dollars fund projects like LGBTQ+ podcasts, lewd art exhibits, drag shows, and climate research. Insight on the state's budget committee and the role of Democrats in controlling subcommittees despite the GOP supermajority. Segment 2: The Lesbian Podcast Controversy Grant funding of a six-episode lesbian history podcast through the Arts Commission. Questions raised about why conservative voices rarely receive similar support. Broader discussion on government funding for content with no market demand and the process for allocating grants. Segment 3: Public Pressure on John Thune & the SAFE Act John Thune facing unprecedented public scrutiny via viral posts on X. Debate over the vote count for the SAFE Act: 51 votes secured vs. Thune's claims of needing 60. The role of social media in holding elected officials accountable and debunking false narratives. Influence of Dave Rubin and other commentators in mobilizing public action to sway Senate votes. Segment 4: Mainstream Media Misfires & Cyber Threats Examples of CNN and other outlets spreading misinformation about protests and attacks, later corrected by social media. Highlighting the reach of social media corrections, sometimes surpassing traditional media audiences. Updates on Iranian and Chinese cyber threats, DHS shutdown, and the importance of coordinated government cybersecurity measures. Discussion on the blurred line between Democrat policies and national security vulnerabilities. Segment 5: Taxpayer Spending Debates Misconceptions about Pentagon spending on luxury items like lobster and ribeye. Historical context: comparable spending under past administrations including Obama and Bush. Discussion on public perception versus media narrative. Key Takeaways: South Carolina's budget increases vastly outpace population growth, with questionable allocations. Taxpayer dollars fund niche projects, while core infrastructure and conservative initiatives receive minimal attention. Social media is now a primary tool for political accountability, particularly on issues like the SAFE Act. Mainstream media often fails to accurately report events, but virality and community corrections mitigate misinformation. National security threats from cyber attacks are exacerbated by bureaucratic shutdowns and political gridlock. CTA (Call to Action): Follow us on X to stay updated with viral accountability posts.

In this episode of the Dover Download podcast, Deputy City Manager Christopher Parker chats with Christine Sieks and Doug Glennon about holiday festivities and downtown Dover activities. Glennon discusses Communitively's initiatives, including First Friday Shop Local events, the Holiday Stroll featuring hot cocoa and s'mores stations in Waldron Court, Plaid Friday promotions encouraging shopping at local businesses rather than big box retailers, and the Autumn Art Amble, organized by Susan Hanna. Sieks explains the Light Up Dover project, formed by 14 volunteers when the previous organization could no longer continue. The initiative focuses on three main goals: lighting the tops of downtown buildings, creating a mural on the old Earcraft building, and dramatically enhancing the community Christmas tree. The tree lighting is scheduled for Dec. 5, with 40 boxes of ornaments and hundreds of lights. Both guests emphasize the growing collaboration among various Dover organizations including Dover Main Street, the Arts Commission, Dover Doers, and the Holiday Parade organizers. They highlight how different groups are learning to work together rather than separately, pooling resources and coordinating efforts for greater community impact during the 2025 holiday season and planning ahead for 2026.In This Week in Dover History, we learn about Thanksgiving week in 1925, when Dover residents enjoyed holiday dining at establishments like the Magnet Restaurant and Kimball Tavern, entertainment at the Strand and Orpheum theaters, and Ethel Mae Shorey's 10th annual Thanksgiving performance at the Dover Opera House.

The South Carolina Arts Commission is bringing its services closer to home through new regional hubs designed to connect residents with grants, staff assistance, programming, and partnerships right in their own communities.

Happy Holidays to The TWENTY30's growing community of listeners and viewers! In Episode 39, co-hosts Dr. Hanaa Almoaibed and Lucien Zeigler are joined by Dina Amin, CEO of Saudi Arabia's Visual Arts Commission to talk about how Saudi Arabia is developing homegrown artistic talent and the work she's doing in building an art ecosystem from the ground-up. The Visual Arts Commission, as part of the Ministry of Culture, is tasked with ensuring Saudi Arabia develops into a vibrant creative community - and in appointing Dina in 2020 - are already full speed ahead. Dina spent over two decades in the space as part of Christie's and other art houses around the world, and brought her energy and deep experiences from New York, London and Dubai to the role. With year-round events and activities now happening in Saudi Arabia, and a concerted effort to develop and foster local artists, Saudi Arabia is now emerging as a force on the global arts scene. Before the conversation, Lucien and Hanaa catch up on the Holiday season, Lucien's forthcoming annual move to Riyadh, and an interesting find Dr. Hanaa made recently in her home town of Al-Khobar, where she is spending the holiday season. Hanaa also gives us her review of Riyadh's new metro, which she rode this week for the first time. After the conversation with Dina, Lucien and Hanaa catch up on the latest news, including a British broadcaster's planned walk across Saudi Arabia, a big dig project at Diriyah, Saudi Arabia's efforts to become a producer of batteries, and a discussion about the status of job creation in Saudi Arabia.
