Family grapples with unknowns of son’s sudden death
By Herb Frazier
Beckham Ace Roach splashed in the bathtub, listened to a story and drank a glass of cold milk as his bedtime routine. Then he enjoyed toy time and more milk before he hugged and kissed his older brother good night.
Meghan Roach lifted her 18-month-old into his crib, and kissed him good night. He looked at his mother, smiling before he rested on his belly.
“That was it. He made no noises all night,” Roach recalled. “There was no inclination that anything was wrong.”
The following morning, May 14, 2024, she entered Beckham’s room, expecting him to pop up briskly for the new day. When he didn’t move, she touched him.
He was stiff and cold. She screamed and started CPR.
Paramedics later declared Beckham dead.
Genetic testing for answers
The Charleston County Coroner’s Office did a state-mandated child death review, but
after two months of study and an investigation, it did not find the cause of Beckham’s death, Charleston County Coroner Bobbi Jo O’Neal said.
With the lingering unknowns, Beckham’s death qualified for a month-long advanced medical review that involved a team of experts who studied his medical history and other issues that might have been missed during the first review, O’Neal said.
So far, the coroner’s office has conducted about four advanced medical reviews into childhood deaths funded by a $1 million five-year grant from the Center for Disease Control (CDC).
The coroner’s office is in the second year of the grant-funded program, the only one in South Carolina and one of 32 nationwide, she said.

Charleston battles pollen season again
The spring pollen is back and it’s everywhere — covering cars, clogging sinuses and activating allergies for far too many. The main allergy symptoms that manifest during the spring include sneezing, nasal congestion, runny nose and itchy or watery eyes. You can take over-the-counter medications, such as Zyrtec, Claritin or Allegra, or nasal sprays and eye drops to relieve symptoms.
If severe allergy symptoms persist, experts advise people to visit a doctor. City Paper staff

given to the unexplained deaths of children one year old and older.
In 2021, 450 children between the ages of one to 18 years old nationwide died suddenly without a cause of death, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Most of the deaths occurred among toddlers, aged 1 to 4 years.
“We don’t have answers to what caused these deaths, but the information gleaned from these advanced studies will help the public health system in preventing the deaths of children nationwide,” she said.
Even though only a few childhood deaths in Charleston County received the SUDC classification annually, the local information will help update CDC health public policy for the country, O’Neal said.
The CDC grant also pays for a genetic study. Beckham’s parents took the genetic tests.
A detailed autopsy ruled out cerebral aneurysm as a cause of Beckham’s death, Roach said. The genetic tests also ruled out epilepsy and other rare genetic anomalies

Mace facing legal, political hurdles in defamation suit, experts say
By Jack O’Toole
A high-profile defamation claim against U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace could pose serious legal and political challenges as the threeterm Lowcountry Republican gears up for an expected 2026 gubernatorial run, Palmetto State legal and political experts tell the Charleston City Paper.
The lawsuit was filed March 14 by Fort Mill businessman Brian Musgrave, one of four men Mace named as sexual “predators” in a Feb. 10 speech on the House floor. In the speech, Mace said that she had provided evidence of the men’s involvement in multiple sexual assaults, including her own, to law enforcement. The S.C. Law Enforcement Division later confirmed that one of the men — Mace’s ex-fiance, Patrick Bryant of Charleston County — was under investigation.
All four men have publicly proclaimed their innocence.
According to a March 14 statement from Musgrave’s attorneys, they filed the suit several days after requesting that Mace provide either a retraction or evidence supporting her allegations. When neither was forthcoming, they said, Musgrave moved forward with the complaint.
“Through the lawsuit, Musgrave seeks to restore his good name and reputation as he enjoyed the same prior to Nancy Mace’s false accusations,” the attorneys said. “As one can imagine, these accusations have not only destroyed Brian Musgrave, but have also inflicted great pain on his wife and children.”
That’s where S.C. legal and political observers say Mace could run into problems. And to understand why, they say it helps to know a few facts about U.S. defamation law and the name William Proxmire.
S.C. constitutional law attorney Jay Bender says a private citizen like Musgrave has a relatively low defamation bar, needing only to show that Mace made the allegations publicly and that they harmed his reputation.
“So, to avoid liability Mace will have to prove truth,” Bender said. “And that could make it a challenging case from her perspective, assuming she does not have [constitutional] immunity.”
With regard to immunity, Bender said the primary legal challenge for Mace involves a landmark case related to the late Democratic U.S. Sen. William Proxmire of Wisconsin, who was famous in the 1970s and ’80s for handing out “Golden Fleece Awards” to government agencies he accused of wasting taxpayer dollars.
“To avoid liability Mace will have to prove truth. And that could make it a challenging case from her perspective, assuming she does not have [constitutional] immunity.”
—S.C.
constitutional law attorney Jay Bender
In 1975, scientist Ronald Hutchinson, an unwilling recipient of the award, sued the senator for defamation, taking the case all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. And in a major 1979 ruling, justices found that the Speech and Debate Clause did not protect members when they republish floor statements in press releases, newsletters and the like — leaving them open to defamation claims.
“Ultimately, the case was settled, with Proxmire paying money to Hutchinson,” Bender noted.
The legal and political landscape
According to legal scholars, the U.S. Constitution’s Speech or Debate Clause is clear: Members of Congress enjoy complete immunity for statements made in the course of their official business.
As a result, Musgrave’s claim is less focused on Mace’s Feb. 10 speech — and concentrates more on her repetition of those claims in news stories and social media.
And regardless of where the ultimate truth in the Mace case lies, that’s the kind of outcome that political strategists in both parties say could damage Mace’s credibility as a gubernatorial candidate heading into 2026.
“If she’s got anything, she needs to bring it forward,” one GOP insider told the City Paper. “Though in this political environment, it’s hard to say what does and doesn’t hurt a political figure’s credibility.”
Democrats also talked about the potential political risks to Mace, even as they

anticipated future headlines.
“Discovery and depositions are going to be absolutely wild,” a veteran Democratic strategist said. “Who knows how many ridiculous and embarrassing fights she’ll pick in the process?”
Mace’s response
Mace’s office declined to comment on the suit, referring the City Paper to Mace’s official X (formerly Twitter) account, and to a March 6 letter from U.S. House General Counsel Matthew Berry.
On X, Mace’s response was somewhere between measured and cryptic.
“I don’t know who needs to hear this — actually, I do — but attacking witnesses and victims of sexual violence isn’t the flex you think it is,” Mace said in a video clip posted to X March 15.
By contrast, Berry’s letter, sent to Musgrave’s attorneys before the lawsuit was filed, left no doubt about Mace’s legal position.
“The Speech or Debate Clause absolutely immunizes members from civil actions because such litigation ‘creates a distraction and forces Members to divert their time, energy, and attention from their legislative tasks to defend the litigation,’ ” Berry wrote. “Should your client choose to file a lawsuit against Congresswoman Mace for her floor statements, government attorneys will vigorously defend her in court.”
Blotter of the Week
Charleston police on March 15 received a call from a concerned citizen regarding an unconscious man laying on the sidewalk on Vendue Range, saying he was “unsure if they’re dead.” The good news: By the time police got there, the man was conscious, and definitely not dead. The bad news: He was drunk enough to be mistaken for dead by passersby, and therefore was arrested for public intoxication.
Like a charm
A Mount Pleasant man on Feb. 26 reportedly used the label from a cucumber to ring up a pack of chicken breasts and a pair of shoes at a U.S. Highway 17 store. Town police were notified on March 10 and put a detective on the case. Ah, the ol’ cucumber switcheroo — nice to know it still works.
Yeah, that’ll do it
North Charleston police on March 13 arrested a North Charleston man after encountering him drunkenly stumbling down Hassell Avenue. Police gave him several warnings, but the man later began yelling, cursing and threatening the officers’ lives, saying he would “chop them up,” among other threats. Not a great strategy if your goal is to be let off with a warning.

Charleston again named South’s No. 1 city
By Skyler Baldwin
Southern Living readers ranked Charleston as their top city for the ninth year in a row in the annual South’s Best awards. While the award represents a great honor to many, others worry it exacerbates the rapid expansion some residents have come to dread. South Carolina is one of the fastest-growing states by population in the nation, some media reports highlight. Some fear the state is growing too fast, with one Horry County official recently remarking, “We don’t want to be No. 1.”
It’s a common sentiment in the Lowcountry as well, but it comes with a couple caveats, said Roualeyn de Haas, chief operating officer of Historic Charleston Foundation.
“Historic Charleston Foundation is trying to be really conscious of its roles in both the tourism space and as advocates for responsible tourism management,” he told the Charleston City Paper.
In Charleston, tourism contributes nearly a quarter of the area’s sales every year, according to the College of Charleston’s Office of Tourism and Analysis. The industry generated a record-high impact of $13.1 billion for the greater Charleston area in 2023. Travel and hospitality accounts for almost 53,000 local jobs, more than ever before. The percentage of countywide sales attributable to tourism increased to 24.7%,

that a standard autopsy would not detect, she added.
“Nobody can explain what happened that night” to Beckham, an energetic child who gave high-five greetings to strangers with a “hi” that he pronounced as “eye,” she said. Beckham’s father, Tony Roach, said, “We’ve done everything to get an answer, and there is none.”
Grant-funded death investigations
The CDC grant pays the salaries of two coroner’s office employees — Alison Garbarini and Kaaliyah Harris — who work to improve how infant and childhood deaths are investigated and reported to the National Center for Fatality Review and Prevent (CFRP).
The Charleston County Coroner’s Office, O’Neal said, is partnering with coroners in Georgetown, Berkeley, Dorchester, Beaufort and Colleton counties to help those agencies improve the reporting of childhood deaths to the national data base.
Investigating the death of a child is the hardest task for coroners across the country, said O’Neal, author of the 2007 book Investigating Infant Deaths.
which is also a new record.
“This award is indicative of what Charleston has been doing right,” De Haas said. “The preservation of historic areas, the versatility and variety of our cultural assets, aligned with the beauty of our surroundings — HCF believes a good place to live is a good place to visit, and I think that’s what people are picking up on here.
“There are very few places in the country that have as characteristic or large a historic district as Charleston in such close proximity to all the other things we have,” he added. “It’s a living and dynamic and breathing historic city.”
Multiple accolades earned
Southern Living ’s annual awards recognize readers’ favorite destinations and experiences, covering everything from cities and beach towns to restaurants, resorts and hotels.
“Once again, the Holy City has captured our readers’ hearts and the top spot on this list,” Southern Living said in its March 11 announcement “Its harbor, historic homes and churches are beautiful to behold, but it’s more than just a scenic escape. Charleston’s blend of old and new means that there’s something for everyone here: architecture, restaurants galore, African American history, art galleries,
A child’s death plucks the emotions because it is an unexpected loss, she said. Because children don’t have lengthy social or medical histories that could provide clues to their deaths, investigators rely on their parents or caregivers for information, the coroner explained.
The cause of a child’s death is often easily recognized, O’Neal said.
The risk factors for a childhood death depends on the child’s age. A sleeping child younger than 2 years old is susceptible to being suffocated by a pillow or the body part of an adult in bed with them, she said. Accidents and drowning tend to claim the lives of older children. Newly licensed teenage drivers run the risk of a fatal car crash, O’Neal said.
Community of support
After Beckham’s so-far unexplained death, the coroner’s office connected his parents with the Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood Foundation. Through the foundation, the couple has met other families who have gone through similar ordeals.
“This foundation saved me … through this time,” Meghan Roach said. The foundation offers grief counseling, raises SUDC awareness and supports research to find risk factors. March is SUDC awareness month.
shopping and more.”
Several Charleston-area destinations earned honors from Southern Living:
• Isle of Palms, Kiawah Island, Folly Beach and Sullivan’s Island each secured spots in the 50 Best Beach Towns in the South category, touting the areas’ surf shops, dive bars and flip-flopfriendly restaurants — all on top of the natural beauty of the Lowcountry coast.
• Readers ranked The Sanctuary at Kiawah Island Golf Resort as the ninth Best Resort. The article highlights the sto ried destination’s five golf courses as well as its performance center where guests can brush up on their skills.
• The Francis Marion Hotel was voted the 10th Best Classic Hotel for its elegant architecture and storied history. The hotel recently celebrated its 100th birthday, and it still has one of the best harbor views in town, the article said.

• The Crab Shacks and Bowens Island Restaurant earned top spots in the South’s Best Seafood Dives list, both touted for their laid-back atmosphere and fresh seafood selections, including to-diefor she-crab soup, steamed oysters and Frogmore stew.
• The Windjammer was voted No. 3 in the Best Beach Bars category for its ability to draw crowds with notable performers like

Although Meghan Roach is a pediatric ultrasound technician, she had never heard of SUDC.
She would like to help raise SUDC awareness by organizing a beach walk, maybe in November around the anniversary of Beckham’s birth on Nov. 9. He loved being in water, she added.

Lingering guilt
Some days, Meghan Roach says she feels an emotional gut punch as she relives the events before Beckham glanced over his shoulder to give his father a boyish grin while enjoying his bath.
“I think about that night,” she said. “I was looking at the monitor, and he appeared to be sleeping. It was normal for him to sleep through the night. I don’t think I will ever get over the guilt,” she said.
After Beckham and Bennett were born, the Charleston couple was happy to have their sons. “Our family felt complete when [Beckham] came to the world,” their mother said. Now there is the fear of having another child, she admitted.
Beckham’s middle name was Ace. After he was born, his card-playing maternal grandparents jokingly said they have their ace, she said.
Now, Bennett is afraid to be alone, his mother said. Every night he sleeps with his mother or father. Meghan said she wakes during the night to check Bennett’s breathing.
Tony Roach said he is convinced Beckham had a purpose. “He changed me as a person,” said Roach, who owns a construction company. “My career path and outlook on life has changed. I got reunited with family I haven’t seen in 38 years. I know them now because of his passing.”
Looks like Backroom Billy is still at it
On March 4, we sent the following letter to Charleston Mayor William Cogswell:
“The city of Charleston and its public relations department routinely uses electronic mailing lists to disseminate news releases, flood advisories and other matters of public importance and safety. It has come to our attention that the city of Charleston is not sending news releases electronically to the Charleston City Paper
“Furthermore, it has been suggested that the newspaper has been removed from the city’s electronic news release list. If this is true, why? And if it is true, please instruct your public relations team to restore the City Paper to its media outreach list.”
We asked Cogswell to get back to us within 10 days. Two weeks later, we had not heard about why we were suddenly removed from the news release email list. But we weren’t particularly surprised to get the silent treatment from the non-communicative, secrecyladen Cogswell administration. So we pushed a little and got an epic response from Cogswell’s chief henchman, Logan McVey, that sent the newspaper’s editors into gaggles of giggles:
“To sign up for alerts, your team needs to go on the website and sign up for our Notify Me system. Your team can also find every release posted online as well, all readily available. As for further engagement, we have serious concerns with the editorial standards at the Charleston City Paper and do not believe it serves the best interests of Charleston residents to engage with an outlet consistently reporting inaccurate information and advocating against efforts to improve residents’ quality of life.”
So let us remind the super-charming McVey that without
the sunshine of information provided by newspapers like the Charleston City Paper, taxpayers wouldn’t know about:
• Settlement. We unearthed a secret settlement made in November in a long-running construction defects lawsuit brought against developer Cogswell and his company by a residential-commercial homeowners’ association.
• Seal. We revealed the creation of a new brand mark to augment a historic city seal that the administration pushed through without informing city council members.
• Videos. We found a quiet contract from the city for Cogswell’s campaign communications team to make slick outreach videos. The contract came out in a City Paper Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.
• Radio silence. The Cogswell communications team continues to not answer simple questions by phone or email about city business — just the sort of things they’re paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to do every year.
Bottom line: By denying access to the City Paper to normal city communications, Backroom Billy Cogswell and his administration are playing silly games that can put citizens at risk during floods, storms and and other emergency situations (sometimes it takes awhile for news releases to hit the city’s website).
But in an era of Trumpy overreach, what’s happening here isn’t really surprising. The Cogswell administration should start doing its job with transparency and with the public in mind, regardless of whether it cares about the Charleston City Paper. Professionalism is needed over pettiness.
For the record (and as thousands of readers know): In the last five years, the City Paper has won dozens of awards for excellence in reporting and commentary. And we expect this to continue — even if it means digging harder to uncover anti-sunshine efforts by Charleston’s current government.
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.
Put your money where your mouth is
By Connelly Hardaway
Local bars and restaurants need our help. You’ve seen the headlines: Area favorites continue to close.
Ever the optimist (and I’d like to think, realist), I recently wrote about Charleston’s recent closures and openings. It’s easy to get caught up in the clickbait that is “we’ve got all your doom and gloom right here!” but the reality is that Charleston’s restaurant scene is as vibrant — and mercurial — as it has always been, at least in recent memory.
Quite simply: With every closure there are more openings. But openings and closings don’t tell the whole story of the Charleston food scene. Far from it.
It’s everything that we don’t see that defines this city’s internationally celebrated food and beverage industry.
It’s the back-of-house hirings that keep a kitchen afloat.
It’s the hustler behind the pop-up who is eyeing a brick and mortar.
It’s the chef who is also a mom who is, somehow, juggling both full-time roles.
There are exceptional local organizations that support and celebrate folks in food and bev, from nonprofit Ben’s Friends to hospitality workshop FAB. There’s even a new organization, the Responsible Hospitality Reform Alliance, that hopes to reform laws around the state’s liquor liability insurance market.
Check out new restaurants as they open, but be sure to continue to frequent your favorites, too.
As local diners, there’s something we can do to help, too: We can spend more money at local bars and restaurants. I talk to chefs and restaurant owners every week. While everyone is different, they all have a couple of things in common. For one, they’re passionate. You don’t work in food and bev — and you sure as hell don’t open your own restaurant — if you don’t love it.
The other thing about these chefs and restaurateurs is that they aren’t ever totally satisfied. They’re often striving to be better, sure, but they’re also hoping and praying their businesses continue to thrive or even just survive. They don’t want people to forget they’re there.
Catch yourself next time you see a restaurant closing and instead of asking, “Why?” ask, “When was the last time I ate there?” Check out new restaurants as they open, but be sure to continue to frequent your favorites, too.
I’m as guilty as the next person when it comes to not spending as much time and money at area establishments as I should.
As the mother of a 4-year-old with another kid slated to arrive in just a few months, I am, like pretty much every other adult I know — constantly tired, busy and a little bit broke. (Also, my son is the biggest fan of “old Mcdonald’s” you’ll ever find, and I still haven’t found a local joint that can match that kid’s meal energy.)
But we can always try to spend our money at local spots. Swap your Starbucks run for a local coffee spot (Lodi and Metto have drive-thrus if you’re looking for convenience). Drive your car to a nearby spot to pick up takeout instead of using Uber Eats. Resolve to eat lunch or dinner out at a restaurant once a month. Sure, you could skip those steps and save (some) time and money. But if you like living in a charming coastal city that isn’t defined by box stores and chain restaurants, then I’d advise you to start dropping dollars at a much faster and more frequent rate than you’ve been doing.
If we don’t all start spending more money locally, Charleston won’t be the foodie destination we’ve come to know and love for much longer.

By City Paper Staff
Just over five years ago, a Charleston woman became one of the first two people in South Carolina to get Covid-19, health officials believe. Within 27 months, some 19,600 residents of the Palmetto state died, many in four seasonal waves from the severe respiratory pandemic and health threats it created. Coronavirus touched everyone. It changed us — how we interact, how we assess whether a space like a grocery store is safe, how we deal with crowds and how we share things like coffee and cookies at church. Many of us continue to wash hands more often, use disinfecting wipes and apply a squirt of hand sanitizer.
Five years after Covid infected South Carolina, people continue to get sick from it, need to get vaccinated and be careful. It’s not uncommon to see some people walking around with masks.
During the crisis — particularly in the first two years — we talked with lots of people, offering daily information updates along the way. Now, five years later, we are looking back, listening to how Covid-19 changed us and changed Charleston.
Sweat: Big changes across the Lowcountry
Dr. Michael Sweat, who directs the Medical University of South Carolina’s (MUSC)
Center for Global Healthl, said he has observed several significant changes to the Lowcountry and society as a whole as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.
“The pandemic definitely opened up people’s comfort levels when it came to working remotely,” he said. “It really elucidated the pros and cons with that over time. … And the idea of telemedicine really spawned in that era and has persisted in many ways. People are still really recognizing the value there.”
He said another major shift also came as a result of the pandemic — the overpoliticization of public health, which manifested in several ways, including culture wars surrounding vaccination and wearing face masks.
“It really exposed a lot of the weaknesses in the U.S. public health system,” he said. “It became political at just about every step of the line. Politics and public health merged more than I had ever seen before.”
Though the profound impact the Covid-19 pandemic had on people’s lives is easily framed as wholly negative, Sweat said there was a silver lining that came out of the years of hardships.
“Coming out of the pandemic, I was struck by the positive side of things,” he
said. “At least in my world, the dedication of the health care workers, the openness and kindness of so many people out there was inspiring.” —Skyler Baldwin
Etminan: A teacher’s life turned upside down
The pandemic turned former Lowcountry educator Trevor Etminan’s life upside down. But while that time in his life was difficult, he said he’s happier than ever.
“I think I probably fit in that basket of teachers that, Covid really helped me realize some things,” he said. “Particularly in South Carolina and in education in general, nobody is really looking out for the well-being of teachers.
“Because of the way things were handled during Covid, I made the decision to leave the profession. For my health, my family’s health, it was one of the best decisions I’ve made for my family.”
Etminan explained he spent his whole life preparing for a forever career in education. He has two relevant master’s degrees, is a published researcher and was well on his way to earning a doctorate. But he said the disappointment with the education system and in the attitudes toward educators during the pandemic pushed him away.
“There was tremendous opportunity to do things differently,” he said. “On a local level, we were seeing good things happen. In Charleston County, we were seeing movement; we were seeing change. But unfortunately, the political climate we were in at the time stunted a lot of that potential change.
“I still believe there is opportunity there, but I am far less hopeful about it now.”
The pandemic taught Etminan important lessons about who was looking out for him and his family, he said. The harsh landscape led him to a new career in new construction, in which he works from home as a sales agent for Mixson, a neighborhood in Park Circle.
“ I probably would have continued to live for my career, as opposed to finding a career that now supports me and my family. I guess, in a way, I can thank the pandemic for that.”
—Trevor Etminan
“Without that push, I probably would have continued to live for my career, as opposed to finding a career that now supports me and my family,” he said. “I guess, in a way, I can thank the pandemic for that.” —SB
Bell: The pandemic affected Black Charleston profoundly
The pandemic took the lives of several personal friends and several patients, remembered Dr. Thaddeus Bell, a private physician in North Charleston.
“All of the people had preexisting medical issues, and a few of their deaths occurred before the vaccine was developed,” he recalled. “A few developed cancer and other medical conditions, which were not apparent to them until they got infected with the virus.”
Bell said private medical practices like his also took a pretty big financial hit during the pandemic because of a decline in outpatient care.
“My practice is still recovering from the financial burden caused by the pandemic. A few primary care practices did not survive.” He added that the pandemic affected Black Charlestonians profoundly, but he

Bell
wasn’t surprised.
“I was keeping up with the latest information about the virus and who it would affect,” Bell said “Health disparities were already on my radar as it always has been for decades, so I knew the Black community would suffer tremendously as it did.”
During the pandemic, Bell sounded an alarm in August 2021 to alert people that vaccines were safe after figures showed Blacks were more hesitant to get the Covid vaccine or seek other treatment for symptoms, in part because of historical mistrust of medicine due to cruel past treatments.
“We had a lot of misinformation being given about the vaccine, and all the other social issues Black people were dealing with at the time — Black Lives Matter, George Floyd, everything — all of this kind of came to a head and caused a lot of mistrust among African Americans,” he explained in 2021.
That led him to share the power of vaccines by answering questions in barbershops, appearing on radio shows and speaking in public demonstrations.
“The vaccine hesitancy seen in primarily Black communities was very familiar because I had seen it before with the flu and other vaccines.” —Herb Frazier
Oliverio: ‘It was a strange time’
When Dr. Robert Oliverio talks about Covid, quiet notes of pride, hope, and frustration play at the edges of his voice.
“It was a strange time,” Oliverio, chief medical officer at Roper St. Francis, told the Charleston City Paper on March 13. “But it’s probably one of the more gratifying things I’ve done in my career.”
Oliverio says he’s proud of the way his colleagues across the Roper St. Francis system responded to the crisis, making the institution nimbler and better able to meet patient needs.
“You don’t want this kind of thing to happen,” he said. “But some of the good things that came out of it, particularly in areas like telehealth and supply-chain management, we still use today.”
On a more personal level, Oliverio says the whole experience has made him more
“There’s a lot of conflicting information out there. My job is to make sure I’m a reliable source of good medical information that’s backed up by science.”

aware than ever of the role he and his fellow medical professionals play in helping patients make sense of what they’re hearing from social media and news stories.
“These are tough concepts and there’s a lot of conflicting information out there,” he said. “My job is to make sure I’m a reliable source of good medical information that’s backed up by science.” —Jack O’Toole
Lynch: Covid-19 created a new landscape for pharmacies
The Covid-19 pandemic completely changed the landscape of pharmacy services, said Cheryl Lynch, pharmacy manager at Tidewater Pharmacy in Mount Pleasant.
“I have been a pharmacist for 30 years,” she said, “and I have never seen a landscape like this. Supply chain issues have been a huge impact — you just get what you get now. The ongoing drug shortages have really impacted pharmacies.
“This is where it’s been important for patients to get connected with businesses like us, where you can have that personalized service. A big box chain can’t help people the way people need anymore.”
Lynch said pharmacists at small, local
outposts have had to take on more respon sibility than they were prepared for in the wake of the pandemic, beginning years ago with vaccination efforts.
“Doctors’ offices are a lot less responsive now, it seems, more than ever,” she said. “We have to be an integral part of these patients’ experiences. We have to almost fight to get them their prescriptions because things just aren’t happening as fast or the way they used to pre-Covid.
“Maybe there’s not enough workforce in the offices anymore, but something has definitely shifted, and we’ve had to step up and fill that void.”
Workforce shortages would make sense, Lynch added, as pharmacies — like many other front line professions — suffered a mass exodus during the pandemic.
“It just changed our personal touch here in Charleston,” she said. “The friendly aspect of Charleston faltered a little bit, and hopefully, that’s coming back.” —

The Watch’s rooftop kitchen, bar reaches new heights
By Connelly Hardaway
In a city filled with prime sidewalk real estate — and a city that restricts its buildings’ heights, no less — it can be hard to remember to simply look up. But once one does, it’s hard not to keep staring. Sure, the Holy City’s steeples are pretty spectacular and the spray of palmetto treetops is attractive.
But the city’s rooftop bars really catch our eyes. And The Watch Rooftop Kitchen and Spirits, seated squarely atop the Restoration Hotel, has been catching tourists’ and locals’ attention since 2016.
Chef Daniel Nightengale, the corporate director of food and beverage for the Restoration, talked to the Charleston City Paper about the evolution of The Watch’s offerings during its almost decade-long stint on Wentworth Street.
The sky’s the limit
Recently, The Watch has added some shade covering to its front terrace, adding longevity to the rooftop’s appeal, which diminishes a bit during those brutally hot summer months.
“We’re really excited to see some of the growth in that aspect, because we’ve never really been able to utilize those areas in June, July, August, September because it gets so hot,” Nightengale said.
He added that helping seating capacity during those “vital” four months is a gamechanger.
It’s all part of running a business in a saturated food and beverage market.
For Nightengale, the year is broken up into busy and less busy seasons, demarcated by popular holidays and long-running Charleston events, like SEWE, Charleston Wine + Food and the Cooper River Bridge Run.
“I can look at the year now, knowing and [having been here] when we’re going to be busy,” he said. “Knowing what the market [will bear] and how the leisurely travel is going to come here is really beneficial because
What’s new
you can start to look ahead and game plan.”
As part of a hotel, The Watch has its built-in, visiting customers — but it’s always held a lot of appeal for locals, too, hosting weekly and monthly special events from a poetry series to rooftop yoga classes.
In a September 2024 interview with City Paper, The Restoration’s corporate director of sales and marketing, Karen Winn, said that the hotel has always worked to integrate itself into the surrounding neighbourhood.
“The thing that really attracted me to this hotel was they were trying to enhance the neighborhood, not just be visitors from out of town,” she said.
The Watch looks to incorporate local flavor, too, and Nightengale described the menu as “American brasserie with Lowcountry influences.”
The seafood-forward entree offerings emphasize the rooftop’s proximity to the sea, with dishes like a shrimp and chorizo bowl, seared scallops and a honey glazed fresh catch.
“We’re changing the menu anywhere from four to five times a year just for seasonality,” Nightengale said. New, springinspired menu items include the toasted cous cous bowl, made with cous cous, arugula, broccoli, mushrooms, tomatoes, garlic, onions and basil aioli. The bar program is lightening things up, too, adding several new drinks and even a spritz flight.
The Restoration recently expanded to Asheville and the food program at its
mountain counterpart has more of an Appalachian influence “to cater to more of the locals,” Nightengale said.
“We listen to what the guest is saying,” he said. “But we also try to have fun with the food, whether it’s local shrimp, crab, mussels, a fresh catch from the Southeast or from the shores of North Carolina. It all varies.”
The evolution of dining
“I think that as a leisurely traveler, when you go to places now, you are constantly looking up stuff whether it’s Google, TripAdvisor, Instagram,” Nightengale said. “And everyone says, ‘the phone eats first.’ ” Needless to say, The Watch’s reputation precedes it.
There are few spots as Instagrammable as The Watch’s rooftop, which is the highest rooftop south of Calhoun Street with an almost 360 degree view of downtown. The rooftop’s height is both a boon and burden — when folks know it’s there, they scurry to take pictures, but if they don’t look up from their navigation of nearby boutique stores, they may just walk right by.
Still, if you can get up to The Watch, it’s worth the elevator ride.
“To be able to still be outside and enjoy the atmosphere of Charleston [and] see it from a different angle — it’s different when you’re looking at it seven stories up and you can see everything that you get told about,” Nightengale said. “To see it in a panoramic setting is very cool.”
Legami recently launched the Aperitivo Hour, a new happy hour available from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. daily that features a variety of cocktails and snacks. Enjoy drinks like The Venetian, made with Valencia orange, aperitif, rosemary and prosecco or the Melon Dramatic, made with cantaloupe, gin, tarragon and prosecco. All cocktail orders include olives, taralli and pistachios. Additional snacks are available for purchase including crudo, made with Hamachi, olive oil, lime and calabrian chili as well as zucchini and eggplant chips served with sundried tomato aioli.

What’s hot
Immediately following a successful 2025 festival, Charleston Wine + Food (CHSWF) announced its dates for next year’s festival, slated to run March 4 through March 8, 2026. It also announced the return of the Summer Sizzle series, which will feature a collection of culinary experiences throughout the summer. The festival had a banner year earlier this month when it sold out over 80 of its 90+ events. Guests looking to run it back next year can buy discounted Culinary Village tickets now through March 31. Learn more at charlestonwineandfood.com. Southern Living recently released its “South’s Best of 2025” lists, which include categories like getaways, hotels, cruise lines and dining categories from best beach bar to best seafood dive. Charleston area winners include: Lewis Barbecue , South Carolina’s best barbecue joint; Bowens Island Restaurant , one of ten best seafood dives and The Windjammer, one of ten best beach bars. Lost Isle took home the grand prize, though, with Southern Living naming it the restaurant of the year. Check out the full list at southernliving. com. — Connelly Hardaway

Culture
Fairey, Hussey bring art and history to life at Aiken-Rhett
By Jessica Mischner
Renowned Charleston artists Tim Hussey and Shepard Fairey on March 13 debuted work at a new show, Fragments + Facades, at the Aiken-Rhett House during the launch of the Historic Charleston Foundation (HCF)’s Charleston by Design weekend, which ran through March 16.
The show, part of the foundation’s Charleston Festival, will run through April 13. Last year, HCF offered art by Jill Hooper at the historic house. This year’s show, which also includes work by Atlanta artist Masud Olufani, was curated by Kelly S. Turner, who said in a press release that the three artists “highlight the role of contemporary art as an active participant in shaping lives and history and to critically engage the pressing issues of today by fostering exchange and dialogue to inspire change.”
In an interview, Hussey added, “I consider this an exhibition that my kids will appreciate,” noting the collection explores the juxtaposition of contemporary art, history and identity.
Hussey said Fragments + Facades was envisioned and presented to his childhood friends, Fairey and HCF President and CEO Winslow Hastie, as a way to blend the two artists’ unique yet complementary artistic styles.
“Shepard and Winslow and I all grew up together downtown, so we know each other well,” Hussey said in a March 14 interview.
Tim Hussey combined works on paper and canvas to co-create new show Fragments + Facades , on view through April 13, with fellow artists Shepard Fairey and Masud Olufani
“Shepard is exceptional at focusing on things at the macro, big-picture level. That’s why he’s so good at the political, universal topics work.
“I see things up close. We brought in Masud, too, because his art is all about identity, place and personhood.”
The artists draw on inspirations of variations of the human spirit and the human condition, and hope, through immersive works including two-dimensional and three-dimensional early street art, sculpture and original paintings on paper and canvas. The exhibit takes place inside the preserved “as-found” Aiken-Rhett House and outbuildings, further heightening the impact of these thought-provoking works.
“This exhibition represents HCF’s broader efforts at activating this incredible house in meaningful ways that engage new audiences and create opportunity for discourse in a place with a very complicated history,” Hastie said.
“Because we want to confront that history unequivocally through a contemporary lens, we feel a responsibility to make it a place of creativity that can spark thoughtful dialogue and provocative introspection. Over the years, we have seen a diverse range of artists approach this space in a visceral and authentic conversa-

At 5:30 p.m., kids and families are invited to Hanahan Hall at Grace Church Cathedral for a special Story Time, as the authors read from their tale of cherished moments, family connection and the way natural beauty mirrors the love between parents and children. Then at 6:30 p.m., readers, writers and book lovers can join the duo in the main cathedral for a grown-up conversation about their writing process, what the sisters are reading and why they love books in the first place.

tion and we want to provide a platform for these artists to engage with the history and culture of Charleston.”
Hussey, a neo-expressionist who works on paper and canvas, credited Turner for bringing all of the elements together.
“She made it all make sense,” he said.
Fairey, one of the best known street artists in the country, gained notoriety in his 1989 “Andre the Giant has a Posse” sticker campaign, later transformed into the “Obey Giant” art campaign. He also achieved worldwide recognition with the iconic “Hope” poster for presidential candidate Barack Obama.
Olufani engages in a site-specific dialogue with the Aiken-Rhett House through his art.
“Viewers first encounter Olufani’s performance video where the artist navigates an everyday urban landscape to uncover an unmarked site of enslavement, gradually transforming the forgotten space into a visible and poignant memorial,” the release said. “The desire to unearth continues in the artist’s sculptures, site-specific for the Aiken-Rhett House’s former enslaved quarters.”
Fragments + Facade will run through April 13. More information at charlestonfestival.com.
Ten acrobats and a string quartet celebrate the music of Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich in OPUS, a black-tie-and-ball-gown version of the circus held at the Gaillard Center at 7:30 p.m. March 25. Shostakovich’s quartets are by turns intimate, passionate, lyrical, ironic and deeply moving personal testimonies by one of the 20th century’s greatest composers, and this show brings them to life in works of physical power and poetry. Beginning with a solo performer suspended on a rope serenaded by musicians, OPUS then moves powerfully through rapidly alternating scenes of dislocated stillness and violent explosions, melding of music and bodies at the highest level.

Revel in brass and the blues
The Grammy Award–winning Rebirth Brass Band will bring instruments and vocals to the Pour House at 8:30 p.m. April 1 for an intimate listening experience. The performance will blend audience interaction and living room vibes with the sophisticated sound of veteran musicians. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. Tickets ($25) and event info at charlestonpourhouse.com. Jessica Mischner

Charleston will be even more alive with music than normal from March 28 to March 30 thanks to Frequency Fest.
It is a power-loaded music festival with more than 50 bands on three different West Ashley stages: One at Tin Roof, one at The Garden at Charles Towne Fermentory and one at Frothy Beard Brewing. And the collection of acts essentially runs the stylistic gamut from thrash to hip-hop to Appalachian folk to Americana garage rock.
And perhaps what’s most exciting: This isn’t a fru-fru corporate festival with branding on every available surface, or a mega-expensive mega-fest where you’re a thousand miles from the stage. This is, as the festival announcement emphasizes, a free, all-ages DIY show for those who still love to seek new music.
Frequency Fest is presented by Holy City Booking, an agency with the goals of strengthening Charleston’s music scene and emphasizing local and regional talent. The festival’s schedule certainly bears that out.
The lineup
The headliners alone form a fantastic overview of the breadth of Southeastern indie music, with a special emphasis on the Holy City.
Let’s talk about Acid Hawk, for example. It is one of the headlining bands at Frequency Fest, offering a thunderous bass and drums duo that rocks low, hard and loud. Another band, Catholics, also shares some room at the top of the festival poster alongside Acid Hawk, but the style is completely different, a highly experimental blend of off-kilter math rock and indie noise.
Another Charleston act, Infinitefreefall, is arguably as experimental as Catholics, but its emphasis is more on pop than rock, with irresistible melodies to match. Majic Dust blends soaring, anthemic hard rock with some truly fascinating goth touches, as if the Foo Fighters had a secret passion for Bauhaus.
But if this is getting a little too arty for you, then there’s The Maxines, straightahead hard-rockers out of Savannah. And a little further down the bill you’ll find Charleston’s own Anergy, a band that draws inspiration from old school punk, grunge and other modern influences to create a high energy, driving sound. This
will be the Agent Orange-Circle Jerks portion of the show.
Did we mention the K-pop dance party that kicks everything off? Yeah, that’s happening over at Frothy Beard Brewing on March 28, presented by the Southern Seoul Social Club. DJ Majr is on the ones and twos spinning out your favorite K-pop hits from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.
The schedule
After your K-pop appetizer on Thursday night, things kick in hard at all three locations on Friday.
Tin Roof has six bands on the schedule, including headliner ADHD, The Maxines, The 33s, Rocket 77, Anergy and Busted Radio. The Garden by Charlestowne Fermentory has five bands lined up, featuring the aforementioned Catholics alongside headliners Jest, Momphobia , Bluegill and Scrlett
From 7 p.m. to 10 p.m., Frothy Beard Brewing will host SEVEN bands, including Gods, Raxxane, Shack Devill and Juventad. The Tin Roof and Frothy Beard Brewing lineups are presented by
The ethos
A free DIY all-ages festival might be just what Charleston’s music scene needs right now. It’s not often that fests like this can boast such large lineups of entirely independent artists, and it’s more important now than ever to support these artists in an overstuffed entertainment landscape that makes it hard to stand out.
The fact is that there are many bands making great music just under the radar, and Frequency Fest might be the best way to see and hear them.
And the community has responded to that chance with interest. As we mentioned earlier, you won’t find branding on every available surface like some music festivals, but the local sponsors that Frequency Fest DOES have — Holy City Tattooing Collective, Early Bird Diner and Bozzelli & Sons Heating and Air — helped make Frequency Fest free.
One way or another, one thing is clear — the music will be easy to find at this broad festival.

Free Will Astrology
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Cheetahs are the fastest land animals. From standing still, they can be running at 70 miles per hour three seconds later. But they can’t sustain that intensity. After a 20-second burst, they need to relax and recover. This approach serves them well, enabling them to prey on the small creatures they like to eat. I encourage you to be like a metaphorical cheetah in the coming weeks, Aries. Capitalize on the power of focused, energetic spurts. Aim for bursts of dedicated effort, followed by purposeful rest. You don’t need to pursue a relentless pace to succeed. Recognize when it’s right to push hard and when it’s time to recharge.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Inside a kaleidoscope, the colored shards of glass are in an evershifting chaotic jumble. But internal mirrors present pleasing symmetrical designs to the person gazing into the kaleidoscope. I see a similar phenomenon going on in your life. Some deep intelligence within you (your higher self?) is creating intriguing patterns out of an apparent mess of fragments. I foresee this continuing for several weeks. So don’t be quick to jump to conclusions about your complicated life. A hidden order is there, and you can see its beauty if you’re patient and poised.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Spiders spin their webs with meticulous care, crafting structures that are delicate, strong, and useful. Their silk is five times more robust than steel of the same diameter. It’s waterproof, can stretch 140% of its length without splitting, and maintains its sturdiness at temperatures as low as -40 degrees. With that in mind, Gemini, I bid you to work on fortifying and expanding your own web in the coming weeks — by which I mean your network of connections and support. It’s an excellent time to deepen and refine your relationships with the resources and influences that help hold your world together.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Chichén Itzá was a large pre-Columbian city from around 600 to 1200 CE. It was built by Mayan people in what’s now Mexico. At the city center was a pyramid, The Temple of Kukulcán. During the equinoxes, and only on the equinoxes, sunlight fell on its steps in such a way as to suggest a snake descending the stairs. The mathematical, architectural, and astronomical knowledge necessary to create this entertaining illusion was phenomenal. In that spirit, I am pleased to tell you that you are now capable of creating potent effects through careful planning. Your strategic thinking will be enhanced, especially in projects that require long-term vision. The coming weeks will be a favorable time for initiatives that coordinate multiple elements to generate fun and useful outcomes.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Fireflies produce very efficient light. Nearly all the energy expended in their internal chemical reactions is turned directly into their intense glow. By contrast, light bulbs are highly inefficient. In accordance with astrological omens, Leo, I urge you to be like a firefly in the coming weeks, not a light bulb. You will have dynamic power to convert your inner beauty into outer beauty. Be audacious! Be uninhibited! Shower the world with full doses of your radiant gifts.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Brazil nut trees grow in the Amazon—but if only they are in the vicinity of orchid bees, their sole pollinators. And orchid bees thrive in no other place except where there are lots of blooming orchids. So the Brazil nut tree has very specific requirements for its growth and well-being. You Virgos aren’t quite so picky about the influences that keep you fertile and flourishing—though sometimes I do worry about it. The good news is that in the coming months, you will be casting a wider net in quest of inspiration and support. I suspect you will gather most, maybe all, of the inspiration and support you need.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In 1858, businessperson James Miller Williams was digging a new water well on his land in Ontario, hoping to compensate for a local drought. He noticed oil was seeping out of the hole he had scooped. Soon,
By Rob Brezsny
he became the first person in North America to develop a commercial oil well. I suspect that you, too, may soon stumble upon valuable fuels or resources, Libra — and they may be different from what you imagined you were looking for. Be alert and open-minded for unexpected discoveries.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): I’ve been through the US education system, and I can testify that our textbooks don’t give the French enough of the credit they deserve for helping our fledging nation gain independence from Great Britain. The 18th-century American Revolution would not have succeeded without extensive aid from France. So I’m a little late, but I am hereby showering France with praise and gratitude for its intervention. Now I encourage you, too, to compensate for your past lack of full appreciation for people and influences that have been essential to you becoming yourself. It’s a different kind of atonement: not apologizing for sins, but offering symbolic and even literal rewards to underestimated helpers and supporters.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): As I survey the astrological aspects, I am tempted to encourage you to be extra expansive about love. I am curious to see the scintillating intimacy you might cultivate. So, in the hope you’re as intrigued by the experimental possibilities as I am, I invite you to memorize the following words by author Maya Angelou and express them to a person with whom you want to play deeper and wilder: “You are my living poem, my symphony of the untold, my golden horizon stretched beyond what the eye can see. You rise in me like courage, fierce and unyielding, yet soft as a lullaby sung to a weary soul. You are my promise kept, my hope reborn, the infinite melody in the heart of silence. I hold you in the marrow of my joy, where you are home.”
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Four facts about a mountain goat as it navigates along steep and rocky terrain: 1. It’s strong and vigorous; 2. it’s determined and unflappable; 3. it’s precise and disciplined; 4. it calls on enormous stamina and resilience. According to my astrological analysis, you Capricorns will have maximum access to all these capacities during the coming weeks. You can use them to either ascend to seemingly impossible heights or descend to fantastically interesting depths. Trust in your power to persevere. Love the interesting journey as much as the satisfaction of reaching the goal of the journey.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The Swiss Army knife is a compact assemblage of tools. These may include a nail file, scissors, magnifying glass, screwdriver, pliers, blade, can opener, and many others. Is there a better symbol for adaptability and preparedness? I urge you to make it your metaphorical power object during the coming weeks, Aquarius. Explore new frontiers of flexibility, please. Be ready to shift perspective and approach quickly and smoothly. Be as agile and multifaceted as you dare.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Coast redwoods are the tallest trees on the planet. If, Goddess forbid, lumber harvesters cut down one of these beauties, it can be used to build more than 20 houses. And yet each mature tree begins as a seed the size of a coat button. Its monumental growth is steady and slow, relying on robust roots and a symbiotic relationship with a fungus that enables it to absorb water from fog. I propose we make the redwood your power symbol for now, Pisces. Inspired by its process, I hope you implement the magic of persistent, incremental growth. Treasure the fact that a fertile possibility has the potential, with patience and nurturing, to ripen into a long-term asset. Trust that small efforts, fueled by collaboration, will lead to gratifying achievements.
