State legislators propose bills to protect fertility treatment
South Carolina women, physicians and legislators are vigorously moving to protect fertility care in the Palmetto State in the wake of a Feb. 16 decision by the Alabama Supreme Court to grant personhood to frozen embryos.
House Bill 5157 and Senate Bill 1121 in the S.C. General Assembly seek to secure protections for fertility treatments, particularly in vitro fertilization, also known as IVF. IVF is a procedure that involves retrieving patients’ egg and sperm samples and combining the two in a laboratory. A fertilized embryo — or sometimes more than one embryo — is then transferred to the woman’s uterus. However, embryos, eggs and sperm can all be frozen and stored for long periods of time, if needed.
“We must protect IVF at all costs,” S.C. Rep. Spencer Wetmore, D-Charleston, told the Charleston City Paper. “I can’t believe it isn’t a unanimous sentiment that our S.C. families should be able to become parents.”
Under Alabama’s court ruling, any bad outcome for any stored embryos could be criminalized, said Dr. John Schnorr, founder of Coastal Fertility Specialists, a statewide fertility care practice with Charleston-area locations in Mount Pleasant and Summerville.
“What they did in Alabama criminalizes the taking care of embryos over time,” he explained. “If they were harmed in an embryology lab, for example, everyone involved could be held liable.”
Schnorr said that makes it harder for fertility clinics to retain embryologists, but also makes women less likely to seek treatment in the first place.
“We want patients to have a personal choice in how they choose to go about their request for fertility care and how they go about having children,” he said. “Infertility affects about one in nine couples already, so it’s very common, and we’re seeing an influx of more people dealing with it. The good news is that with persistence, our success rates are well over 95%.”
could be easily removed in the future, and until there is a crystal-clear law in place, fertility will remain under threat.
“We look forward to some national legislation that protects these patients across the country,” he said. “For now, I think it’s as simple as to say for patients undergoing fertility treatments, personhood would not be applied to their eggs, sperm or embryos.”
And that’s exactly the language the S.C. House is looking at.
“Any fertilized human egg or human embryo that exists in any form outside of the uterus of a human body shall not, under any circumstance, be considered an unborn child, a minor child, an unborn person, an unborn fetus, a natural person, or any other term that connotes a human being for any purpose under state law,” H. 5157 reads.
You could almost taste the solemn disappointment in the air March 6 at Blackboard headquarters as former Gov. Nikki Haley suspended her presidential campaign.
Haley’s withdrawal from the campaign trail left former President Donald Trump as the presumptive Republican presidential nominee. On Tuesday, she won only one state — Vermont — in Republican primaries held in 15 states.
“I sought the honor of being your president,” Haley said on an overcast morning. “But in our great country, being a private citizen is a privilege enough in itself. And that’s a privilege I very much look forward to enjoying,” she said to about 40 supporters as a flock of 90 in the media sent her news around the globe. —Andy Brack

“I want to be clear: There is a place for them in my campaign. I know there is a lot we won’t agree on. But on the fundamental issues of preserving American democracy … I hope and believe we can find common ground.”
—Democratic U.S. President Joe Biden, urging Haley voters to throw their support behind him rather than former President Donald Trump.
With more than 2,000 new patients each year, that’s considered a high success rate, Schnorr said, adding the success rate is what is threatened in Alabama now and has come under threat before in South Carolina. He pointed to past efforts in the Statehouse that could have threatened fertility treatment through more extreme abortion bans as an example.
Schnorr said while there are some protective carve-outs currently in place, they
These protections have been a longtime coming, said S.C. Rep. J.A. Moore, D-Berkeley.

8 shot, killed across S.C. from Feb. 28 to March 5
North Charleston police on March 5 arrested a 17-year-old boy on a murder charge for his alleged involvement in an Oct. 4, 2023, shooting near East Surrey Avenue in North Charleston that killed one.
Other shootings: Eight others died in Beaufort, Edgefield, Cherokee, York and Laurens counties. Seven others were hurt in shootings across the state. Nationally, there were nine mass shootings for the week, totalling 70 for the year.

A state Senate committee will soon consider legislation that would dramatically curtail the authority of state health officials during future public health emergencies, such as pandemics or biological terror attacks.
Dubbed the Medical Freedom Act by supporters, the bill would prohibit the state’s health department from securing and distributing vaccines or other drugs during a public health crisis if the medications received an emergency use authorization from the Food and Drug Administration, rather than full FDA approval, which often takes years.
In 2021, vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna were produced and distributed under an FDA emergency use authorization.
Critics of the legislation, which was approved last week by a Senate subcommittee, say such emergency authorization saved tens of thousands of lives because it got vaccines quickly to people across the country.
In addition, the legislation proposed by conservative Upstate Sen. Shane Martin would limit health officials’ power to order and enforce quarantines, restrict the right of pharmacists to refuse to fill prescriptions and outlaw vaccination mandates by private employers for vaccines without full FDA approval.
Supporters and opponents debated the bill at a Feb. 28 Medical Affairs subcommittee hearing.
“I wanted to do something to protect myself and all the constituents we represent,” Martin, R-Spartanburg, told committee members, citing concerns about the use of “novel” vaccines.
Other supporters of the bill, including committee chairman Sen. Tom Corbin, R-Greenville, referred often to testimony of University of South Carolina biochemist Dr. Phillip Buckhaults, who told an S.C. Senate panel last September that DNA fragments in Pfizer’s mRNA-based vaccine could potentially invade the nucleus of healthy human cells and cause serious health problems, including cancer.
Pfizer strongly disputed those statements in an Oct. 16 letter.
“There is no evidence to support these claims and they provide the risk of being misconstrued by either Committee members and/or the public at large,” wrote Dr. Annaliesa Anderson, senior vice president and chief scientific officer.
Anderson’s letter went on to observe that the issue of DNA fragments is not unique to Covid vaccines.
“It is important to note that similar

quality standards regarding residual DNA are applied to other vaccines.
Small amounts of residual DNA can be found in several approved vaccines, including influenza and hepatitis vaccines, which have been administered globally for more than 30 years.”
Later that month, a fact check by the University of Pennsylvania’s factcheck.org found Buckhaults’ testimony to be inconsistent with the best available evidence and the views of most experts in the field.
Among those testifying against the bill were S.C. Chamber of Commerce president and CEO Bob Morgan and S.C. Pharmacy Association CEO Brian Clark.
“South Carolina has a long and proud tradition of allowing private sector employers to businesses without excessive government interference,” Morgan told committee members in reference to the bill’s ban on employer vaccine mandates.
“Pharmacists have gone to school for a long time and deserve the right to exercise their best judgment in the best interest of their patients,” Clark said of the legislation’s requirement that pharmacists fill prescriptions that they believe could be harmful.
At the conclusion of the testimony, Senate committee members approved the measure 3-2, with Corbin, Richard Cash, R-Anderson, and Billy Garrett, R-McCormick, voting yes. Both of the panel’s Democrats, Ronnie Saab, of Williamsburg, and Deon Tedder, of Charleston, voted no.
Also passing along party lines that day was a bill that would permanently outlaw public employer vaccine mandates, and a resolution calling on the United States to withdraw from the World Health Organization.

The Historic Charleston Foundation’s (HCF) annual spring house and garden tours, which attracts thousands of tourists to the city, has a new name and a refreshed schedule to lure more local residents.
The new name, the Charleston Festival, replaces the old Festival of House & Gardens. It’s a month-long calendar of tours, workshops, lectures, art exhibits and music events that begins March 14.
The evolving festival, HCF’s largest money-maker, began in 1947 shortly before it was formally incorporated later that year.
Last year, the foundation updated its strategic plan, which led to the need to “rebrand and reboot” the festival, said HCF president and CEO Winslow Hastie.
The festival’s staff was then challenged to think about what it has become and what it can become to ensure it’s tied to the HCF mission, said Roualeyn de Haas, the foundation’s director of marketing and communications.
The name change “reflects a festival about
Charleston native and artist Jill Hooper is coming home to present her exhibition, Windows into Another World, at the Aiken-Rhett House Museum during the Charleston Festival that begins March 14. Hooper is donating the net revenue from the month-long exhibit to the Historic Charleston Foundation’s museum houses. The rebranded festival is the HCF’s annual fundraising event.
Charleston for Charleston,” de Haas said.
The nonprofit HCF is not in the business of event production, but it offers the festival because of the educational value to highlight the preservation and culture of Charleston, he explained.
This is the first year that festival events aren’t packed on the Charleston peninsula, Hastie said. “We are trying to lighten our tourism footprint,” he said. Events are
scheduled around the city, he added.
Capacity at some events has been lowered. Ticket prices — which range from $35 to $275 — have been raised slightly, he said.
Last year, the foundation sold more than 10,000 tickets and 73% of them went to people from outside South Carolina, de Haas said.
This year’s festival will have an equal
A Charleston businesswoman’s battle against what she calls South Carolina’s “antiquated” cosmetology laws is powering a major push for licensing reform in the state legislature.
Megan O’Brien moved from California to Charleston a year and a half ago with a simple business idea: at-home beauty services like hair styling and makeup application for everyone from housebound senior citizens to brides-to-be.
The problem, as she soon discovered, was that her idea is illegal in the state of South Carolina where cosmetologists are forbidden from working outside of a brickand-mortar salon.
“It was brought to my attention by people who owned a cosmetology school as a way to deter me, I think,” O’Brien said in an interview. “They said, ‘You’re never going to be able do this — the cosmetology board is
Charleston police on Feb. 22 confiscated a Civil War-era cannon ball from a downtown woman after she found it while gardening in her backyard. Good call, officers. If we had a cannon ball in the office, the temptation to rush it to Fort Moultrie to test the cannons would be far too great to ignore.
Very expensive cardboard
really strong in this state — so you should just go do this business somewhere else. ’ ”
Today, O’Brien’s business, Ring My Belle, reflects that advice, with successful operations in several cities across the country, including Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Boston. But here in its home base of Charleston, the service remains illegal — a situation that O’Brien believes may be about to change, thanks in part to a powerful ally she’s found in the fight.
“I’ve been working for a year and a half to try to change the law,” she said. “I went on TV, I started petitions, I did all sorts of things. But it didn’t really begin to move until I found out about the Institute for Justice.”
Dubbed “a merry band of libertarian lawyers” by the columnist George Will, the nonprofit Institute for Justice (IJ) came into existence in 1990 to pursue what it sees as the cause of economic liberty through the court system. In particular, its work has tended to focus on three major issues: occupational licensing, property rights and free speech.
IJ’s previous work in S.C. has included a successful challenge to Charleston’s tour guide licensing ordinance, which a federal court found to be unconstitutional, and passage of a law limiting the power of state licensing boards to deny occupational licenses to people with criminal histories.
Just weeks after O’Brien contacted IJ, legislation (S. 857) to allow mobile cosmetology was introduced in the state Senate, along with amendments to more fully deregulate the industry.
According to IJ, this larger push for deregulation is a question of economic fairness.
“Our law firm has done a lot of research related to occupational licensing barriers, especially for lower and middle income workers,” said Meagan Forbes, IJ’s director of legislation and senior legislative counsel. “And what we’ve found is that some of the greatest barriers are in the beauty and barbering industry, which is why we’re working to remove those barriers.”
Specifically, IJ’s research finds that S.C.’s cosmetology law requires 1,500 hours of
A Mount Pleasant man on Feb. 22 reportedly tried to steal several packs of trading cards from a Mount Pleasant department store by stuffing them into the sleeves of a puffer jacket (also stolen). The value of the cards was determined to be about $112, but since he didn’t open them, the contents could have been a total of $3.50 or over $2,000. There’s just no way to know.
A drunken College of Charleston student on Feb. 23 couldn’t maintain his footing on the downtown Charleston sidewalks, even with the help of an officer who offered to walk him back to his dorm. When he kept stumbling — into the road, by the way — the officer finally gave up and arrested him for public intoxication.

And I have family members who’ve had children with the help of IVF treatment, so it’s important to me personally, too.”
Moore said the conversation around IVF and fertility treatments is a reflection of the greater attack on women’s health care in conservative states.
“Women’s health care rights in general are under attack all the time here in South Carolina,” Moore said. “It’s a war.
These little battles come up often. … This is a bigger issue. These radical legislators and organizations want to control every aspect of people’s lives.”
During a bipartisan Feb. 29. press conference held by the S.C. Democratic Caucus, S.C. Sen. Penry Gustafson, R-Kershaw, said the issue went beyond party lines.
“Protecting IVF treatments has nothing to do with politics, it’s not a Republican or Democratic issue,” she said. “We’re talking about embryos outside the mother’s womb. It’s unfortunate we need to go there; this is a preventative measure to avoid closings of preventative centers.”
number of events as last year’s, however, 10% more audience capacity will be gained by holding concerts and lectures at the larger venues in the Dock Street, Riviera and American theaters, Hastie said.
Living Local is a new events series aimed at new residents who might not have yet explored downtown Charleston, Hastie said. The series will give newcomers, who don’t fully know the history and depth of the city’s culture, a sample of different educational and fun activities, he said.
The Living Local events includes a new festival music series featuring the Plantation Singers, a local Gullah and spiritual a cappella group at Dock Street Theatre and Circular Congregational Church. The series will also present Southern blues rocker Aida Victoria and Charlton Singleton’s eight-piece ensemble. Both events will be staged at the Riviera.

training – 10 times the number of hours required by the state for emergency medical technician training — at a cost of approximately $17,000, more than a third of which is funded with student debt.
As a result, the IJ-supported amendments to the proposed bill include language to reduce the number of training hours required for a cosmetology license and lift licensing requirements entirely for some classes of beauty workers.
Some current industry professionals, however, disagree with that analysis, stressing the need for stringent regulations.
“Regulations that oversee the safety of beauty services have worked well for a number of years and protect the safety of professionals and clients,” according to a web statement by the Professional Beauty Association (PBA), an industry trade group.
Among the threats the PBA highlights: unlicensed workers with access to products they have not been trained to use safely; greater risk of chemical burns, staph infections, contagious diseases and bacterial infections; and “health hazards like lice, open wounds and infections.”
“Consumers trust that the professional
providing their beauty service is educated, trained, and licensed — that they know what they’re doing,” the PBA statement reads.
Beaufort Republican Sen.r Tom Davis, chairman of the Labor, Commerce and Industry Committee and a co-sponsor of the mobile cosmetology bill, believes there’s “general consensus” in the legislature on mobility, but that it may be “a little more problematic” to pass the larger regulatory reforms this session.
“That’s a broader, more complex conversation,” Davis said, requiring the legislature to balance health and safety concerns against the high costs and steep barriers to entry created by the current requirements — barriers that can have the effect of protecting existing businesses from needed competition.
Charleston GOP Sen. Sandy Senn also supports O’Brien’s cause.
Calling the regulation against mobile cosmetology “a foolish law,” Senn said in a recent constituent newsletter, “This bill will move on to the full committee and then hopefully to the Senate floor for a positive vote. That way we can all rest easy in knowing that our stylists will not be fined for providing beauty services.”

When the Charleston woman saw on Caller ID that the call was from her bank, she picked it up without a second thought. She soon learned, according to the caller, there had been a potential $1,000 fraud on a debit card and started asking questions.
Fortunately, something seemed a little fishy to the Charleston resident, who opened up her account as the caller was talking. There wasn’t an odd charge on her online statement. So the customer ended the call and called the bank — to find out what you now probably suspect. It was a scam.
This resident did the right thing. If something sounds a little off, take the power away from the caller. As a result, the Charleston resident had an inconvenience — she had to get a new debit card — but she didn’t get scammed like too many people are these days. But in an age where we’re relying more on digital technology, scammers are getting so smart that they are spoofing numbers from banks, government agencies, Amazon and everything in between.
Charlotte Cowles, a financial-advice columnist with thecut.com, recently wrote: “Frauds are constantly evolving, but most fall into one of two categories: The fear-based (you owe taxes, you’re about to be arrested, your identity has been stolen, a family member has been kidnapped or arrested and you need to pay ransom or bail, etc.) or the opportunitybased (you’re getting access to a great investment, a fantastic discount, lottery winnings, a tax refund, romance).”
And she learned first-hand how bad it can be, after falling last year for a clever imposter scheme that cost her $50,000. So here are some ways she suggests to protect
yourself in a time when foreign fraudsters persist:
1. Be careful about the calls you answer. Cowles says to not pick up calls from people who aren’t in your contacts — even if the phone tells you who they are. If an authentic person really wants to reach you, they’ll leave a voicemail and you can double-check their number.
2. Don’t trust, but verify. Be careful about your instinct to defer to authority, Cowles writes. Ask the caller for the name of their supervisor and exactly where they work. Then hang up and verify, like the Charleston woman did. “An advanced scammer will also establish a sense of familiarity. In my case, the people who contacted me knew my birthday, my address, the names of my family members and where they lived, and the last four digits of my Social Security number.” Such information, unfortunately, is pretty easy for a malicious person to find.
3. Slow things down. Even though some kinds of threats are particularly scary, invent a reason to slow down the process (bad connection, need for bathroom, someone at the door) so you can think and get off of an emotional precipice.
4. Tell someone else. Lots of scammers will tell you why you can’t share what’s happening — and they’ll prey on your fear. But if you say it all out loud to someone, the fishiness of the whole situation may become obvious.
Be careful. Be vigilant. And check law enforcement and other websites for more advice on how to protect yourself.
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.
Send this energy turkey back to where it came from
South Carolina’s “Nukegate scandal” surrounding the multi-billiondollar failure of the V.C. Summer nuclear plant in Fairfield County was the largest business failure in the state’s history. From 2008 to 2017, two utilities — Santee Cooper and the now-defunct S.C. Electric and Gas — invested $9 billion into the project.
But the project went belly up after cost estimates soared to $25 billion. Then the finger-pointing, lawsuits, merger, indictments and more began. In the end, Dominion Energy bought SCE&G, some utility executives went to jail and ratepayers were left on the hook for billions of dollars. We’re still paying off that turkey.
We should have learned to be careful when utilities want to do big things. But now we’re facing a sequel as big utilities are imploring state lawmakers — who set up the V.C. Summer debacle by passing bad legislation — to again usurp the state’s energy laws and run roughshod over taxpayers and property owners.
A bipartisan mix of about half of state House members are co-sponsors of Speaker Murrell Smith’s “S.C. 10-year Energy Transformation Act.” In a hearing this week, conservation groups and members of the public railed about the detrimental impacts of the bill, H. 5118, which obviously was written with a lot of help from the big utility companies.
We should have learned to be careful when utilities want to do big things.
Conservationists say the bill seeks to gut the review process for siting new energy facilities, runs roughshod over protections put in place to keep another Nukegate scandal from happening, kills consumer protections created after the debacle and makes ratepayers front the money for risky energy investments.
“They have loaded this bill like a Christmas tree with various things the utilities want to prevent conservation groups from challenging the [future] decisions that will be made,” said Frank Holleman, a Greenville lawyer who represents the Southern Environmental Law Center. Buried in the bill are provisions that would allow a Dominion Energy-Santee Cooper plan to convert an old coal power plant site in Colleton County into a fossil-fuel generation plant that burns natural gas. The problem? It would have to be piped in through pristine areas of the state. Anybody with half a brain knows that is highly likely to lead to habitat degradation.
In prepared remarks to a House committee, Holleman said, “This bill is a pro-eminent domain, pro-condemnation, anti-private property rights bill that threatens to shove massive pipeline construction through Aiken County, the ACE Basin, Colleton County and the Edisto watershed — and also counties in the Upcountry. This bill contains no protections for private property rights, but instead removes rights and protections that currently exist.”
Translation: The very legislature that went hogwild over private property rights just a few years ago to lower taxes is now considering illformed legislation that could allow the massive power of the government to trample on properties that utility companies want for their purposes.
“Our government is supposed to protect private citizens from the power of state-created monopolies,” Holleman argued. “Instead, this bill protects the monopoly utilities from the rights of private landowners and the citizens of South Carolina.”
Eddy Moore, an energy analyst with the S.C. Coastal Conservation League, argues that “no amount of horse-trading can save” the current bill because it ignores reasonable alternatives to generate more power by adding solar, battery storage and wind energy.
“It [the bill] literally opens the door to ratepayers paying for another abandoned nuclear plant with a cost similar to V.C. Summer,” Moore added.
Author Lewis Carroll reminds us that everything has a moral — if you can find it. In the case of this pro-utility energy bill that will destroy special places and private property rights, the moral is smacking us in the face. Lawmakers should kill the proposal and start over. If they can’t, they need to get out of the Statehouse.

Everybody (mostly) wants to eat right, but how easy is it to eat ethically at home? Ethical eating generally is defined as eating in a way that leaves a minimal effect on the environment, encourages animal welfare and supports local business.
Local experts say it just takes a little education and planning to overcome the barriers to eating locally. Here is their advice for leaping the hurdles and maximizing the benefits.
While many may believe it’s harder to find ethical foods, that’s not really true, locals say. You just have to look for it.
“You really have to take the time to look at the labels,” said private chef Ty Kotz, who sources ethical food for his cooking, during a recent visit to a big box grocer.
He said to avoid plastic-wrapped produce, even though many greens hold up better in plastic clamshells.
“Many things pre-wrapped in plastic have come from far away and they’ve been treated or genetically designed to hold up better for shipping, not for their taste or quality. I also never get the cut-up fruit or vegetables in plastic since cut vegetables are high in moisture and susceptible to crosscontamination and foodborne illness.”
Most important, Kotz said, was to educate yourself on what’s in season locally.
“For us in the winter, it’s root vegetables, potatoes, greens. Some things are hydroponic and grow in the winter. Citrus from Florida is in season, and if it comes from farther away, you have to think about how it got here and whether it has additives to travel well.”
Private chef Ty Kotz encourages clients to eat local and look at labels
Mount Pleasant functional nutritional counselor Shannon Converse said, “If something isn’t in season here, you can get it frozen. Bags of frozen fruit or vegetables with no sauce are picked at their peak ripeness and processed immediately. … you’re going to get more nutrients and usually a better taste out of properly frozen things from far away versus fresh things from far away. Plus they tend to be cheaper.”
Kotz said to look at labels for wild-caught fish and to stay away from fish from other countries that might not have U.S. standards. Like produce, fish has seasons, and he said getting to know a local fishmonger and shopping for fish in season is the best bet. Kotz said that local fish include flounder, some snapper, grouper, mahi-mahi, some tuna, wreckfish, tilefish, shrimp, crabs, clam, oysters, and Spanish and King mackerel.
For meat, Kotz said to try and find locally-raised beef without added chemicals or antibiotics. With chicken, labeling
can be deceptive, he said. Tyson’s, for example, has some “cage-free” chicken, but Kotz said many places cram thousands of chickens into a barn-like structure and call that cage-free.
“A lot of the proteins will say they are sustainably-raised, but if you look at the QR code on the package, or go to the website, you learn that what they mean isn’t necessarily what we think of as sustainable. It’s a hassle, but you only have to do it once and you know which products to avoid,” Kotz said.
The Lowcountry Street Grocery services area food deserts and lowerincome families
Eating ethically costs more — sometimes double — because it costs more to raise animals grazing on more land, or raise produce without chemicals that artificially keep them alive.
Kotz acknowledged in the grocery store visit that it was impossible to find anything organic or unprocessed that didn’t cost significantly more than its big company counterpart.
Fortunately, in Charleston, ethical food supplies abound. Low-income residents have access to ethical food. The Lowcountry Street Grocery (LSG) pulls its colorful school bus into neighborhoods considered food deserts. The bus sells produce from local farmers and accepts the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) cards, earning extra benefits when they spend on healthy produce.
“If people sign up for this and buy from us every week, they’re getting a lot of free produce every month,” said Lindsey Barrow, LSG’s CEO. “It’s baby steps, but if we can
You can eat ethically even when you’re out. Many chefs in restaurants throughout Charleston pride themselves on using local purveyors, and the Charleston Wine & Food Festival (CW+F) promotes sustainability.
“We give chefs an ingredient per diem and a list of preferred providers to encourage them to buy local,” said CW+F Executive Director Alyssa Maute Smith.
In addition, this year the festival is working with the South Carolina Shrimp Association to hold “a massive Lowcountry shrimp boil,” Maute Smith said to highlight the use of local shrimp.
CW+F is now through March 10. Visit charlestonwineandfood.com for more information.
extend their SNAP budget and people start to understand the local food system and how it works best for them, they are getting incentivized to improve their choices and buy things like local chicken.”
‘It takes too much time’
Even if you eat only seasonal, local vegetables, it can be difficult to figure out what to do with a knobby Jerusalem artichoke, or a spiky prickly pear. Or maybe you just don’t have the time to cook.
Olivia Myers is founder and director of LSG’s Grocery Rx, a program that teaches a class to low-income, low-food access residents. She says the organization puts recipes on their bags of produce so that those getting home delivery know how to prepare the odd stuff, and Grocery Rx pairs produce delivery with nutritional classes.
Converse said she sympathizes with both the money and the convenience argument, although she said that long-term health benefits outweigh those concerns.
“It’s common that when you are in a lower income bracket, you’re more likely to have more than one job or work more hours,” Converse said. “Convenience foods become more important, but in a way, you’re paying the same amount of money because of the high cost of packaging.”
“People need to know that local cabbage is going to have a blueish hue, that it has lots of internal leaves and it’s not going to be cleaned up and shaved down like
the things they find in the grocery store,” Barrow said. “We’re educating folks that this is what it looks like when it comes from the ground, this is when it grows, this is the season. If you’re getting it for 50 cents a pound at the grocery store, something is wrong.”
Myers added, “You have to think about the true cost of getting that food to someone’s plate. It’s a lot more than the 50 cents for a pound of cabbage. It’s also the labor practices that went into harvesting the cabbage, the environmental impact.”
Barrow said it’s important to support local, even when it seems like buying organic at the grocery store is a good option.
“People can get organic, but from where? Peru? If so, it’s sitting on a truck for two weeks, and then in a warehouse for a week,” Barrow said. “And it does nothing for the local economy. An example? This week, we’re focusing on the items farms are going to lose in the upcoming freeze: citrus, cabbage, collard greens. Those are the things that need to get out there.”
Even with the best intentions, buying only organic and humanely-raised products, buying ethically means buying local as well because it helps the environment.
“Food miles are really just how far your food travels to get to you,” Myers said. “Nutrient density changes as food travels longer distances. Vitamin C decreases by up to 70% within a week of harvesting. At LSG, almost all of our products we get every day, and they were harvested that
morning or the day before.”
“When things are going to be distributed locally, they can be left on the vine or in the ground longer until they’re at prime ripeness, so the nutrients are at prime also,” Converse said. “While it’s nice to be able to get ripe strawberries in the winter, they’re from South America, they’re picked early, sprayed with something to stay shelf-stable.
“We actually need seasonal things. When you live somewhere colder, where the only things that grow are tuberous or more starchy things, your body actually needs those things to store energy to maintain your body temperature.”
She added that processed foods are making us an unhealthy society because they involve additives, artificial colors and flavors, preservatives, thickeners, emulsifiers or artificial sweeteners to lengthen shelf stability or enhance texture or taste.
“Splenda was 10 times sweeter than regular sugar,” Converse said. “So, when we got used to drinking things with artificial sugar, our taste buds changed and we developed a tolerance so that something with natural sugars doesn’t taste sweet anymore.”
Food experts say the best bet to be an ethical eater is to do your homework — check out the labels, find out where the food was grown and cut through the misinformation with education.
“It does require you to put in more work, but the payoff for your body, for the environment, for the economy and for your neighbors pays dividends in the long run,” Barrow said.

A self-proclaimed serial entrepreneur, Rob Bouton is the owner of popular downtown cafe and corner store Queen Street Grocery. He’s also an actor who most recently played the role of “Todd the Inspector” in Tyler Perry’s Assisted Living on BET. He’s a well-seasoned traveler with plans to visit as much of the world as he can with his wife, Hannah Piazza. At the end of the day, though, his favorite place to be is at home in Charleston.
“Charleston’s where we come to relax and chill,” said Bouton. “I’m really a homebody when I’m home a lot. Traveling gives you a certain boost of energy that you can’t get from just sitting at home.”
Bouton and Piazza have spent a lot of time in Italy, particularly of late. Piazza recently applied for and received Italian citizenship by descent, and the couple is considering splitting more time between the two countries.
When they’re not jetsetting, Bouton and Piazza reside in a cozy 1920s craftsman-style home in Wagener Terrace. Bouton describes the home’s interior style as bohemian,” and with an eclectic mix of art, rugs and bookshelves piled high with years and years of National Geographic copies, the word seems to fit.
“Charleston’s where we come to relax and chill. I’m really a homebody when I’m home a lot.”
—Rob Bouton
Bouton prides himself on his home’s art collection, with pieces from the couple’s many travels as well as a couple of recent additions from Piazza’s grandfather, who started painting in his 80s. The couple loves supporting local artists, too, with pieces from Julia Deckman and Isabel Bornstein. Deckman’s piece is a huge portrait of Bouton’s late labrador, Royal, donning sunglasses that read “rock star.”
The home’s new rock star pup is Mochi, a five-year-old Shih-Tzu who welcomes guests to his home with his beloved stuffed toy pig, or after a dire situation in which Bouton realized his pet website no longer sold pig toys, the occasional giraffe.
One of Bouton’s favorite pieces of family history, displayed on a shelf in his living room, is a shadow box that contains all of

his grandfather’s World War II medals, including a Purple Heart. Last year, Bouton and his father, brothers and cousin traveled to France to follow in Capt. William Innes Bouton’s footsteps, recreating the journey he took to help liberate the country in 1944.
Needless to say, family is deeply important to Bouton, who grew up with brothers in Greenville, South Carolina. Born smack dab in the middle of his brothers, Bouton said he embodies the middle child cliche of taking a very different path than his siblings.
“They both married their college sweethearts and are about to be empty nesters, and I didn’t get married until I was 44,” he said. “But I wouldn’t change it. You know, there’s a million different ways to do life.”
One way Bouton “does life” is by assigning each year its own word, which subsequently gets turned into an Instagram

What meal would you want served to you for your last supper: I’d start with a true fresh anchovy Caesar salad, then a bone-in Allan Brothers ribeye with South African langoustines and a loaded baked potato. Dessert would be cold Peanut M&M’s and tiramisu with a scoop of stracciatella gelato.
Pet peeve: Loud chewers. Unaware drivers. People who say “supposebly” and “like.”
Philosophy: Life is not a dress rehearsal.
Your advice for better living: Drink more water, eat less, sleep as much as you need. You’ll be fine.

hashtag. This is the year of the “resurgence,” which Bouton said was fitting after last year’s word, “reset.”
“I had to reset some things to get ready for a resurgence,” Bouton said. “It’s all part of the master plan.”
This year’s plans include developing a hotel in Greenville, a big project that Bouton’s excited to add to his ever-growing resume.
“We’ve got 30 condos on top of the hotel and Greenville is having a similar kind of boom that Charleston is having,” he said. “To do a project in my hometown is really kind of cool.”
While the Greenville hotel looks to the future, Bouton’s other business baby, Queen Street Grocery, is firmly rooted in the past. The store celebrated 100 years on the corner of Queen and Logan streets in 2022.
“Charleston’s changed quite a bit in the 13 years I’ve owned [Queen Street Grocery], and it’s been a hell of a ride,” he said. He credits a strong staff with running the business while he’s away.
Bouton said that after years of living all over the world and in big U.S. cities like New York and Los Angeles, he knew he wanted to make Charleston his home base. He said his time in New York led to a love of bodegas — “I love what they do for the neighborhood” — and when an opportunity to take over Queen Street popped up, he went for it.
“Bodegas kind of bring in the entire neighborhood and that was important to me, to represent the community and to
make sure that we have a place that everybody feels welcome,” he said. “It was a really good way to come to Charleston because it gave me a reason to be here. … We want to be the corner store of your dreams.”
Neighborhoods are important for businesses, sure, but they’re also a huge factor for folks trying to decide where to settle in a city. Before moving into their Wagener Terrace abode, Bouton and his wife lived down near East Battery — a part of the city that doesn’t necessarily have a lot of fulltime residents.
“It felt like we lived in Disney World a bit,” Bouton joked. It was flooding, though, that ultimately pushed him out of the house. “So we swam upstream. … I wish we’d come here 15 years ago. It’s much more of a normal family [neighborhood] with two sidewalk streets. Everybody that’s here is living here and working here and active in Charleston.”
Now is the time to plant these
8 warm season blooms
By Toni Reale, special to City Paper
Gardening is one big science experiment for me with variables unnervingly beyond my control.
In 2012 when I started Roadside Blooms with a 1971 British ice cream truck turned mobile flower shop, I had ambition to grow a good portion of my own flowers. In spring 2013, I had many blooms from bulbs I planted in our large yard on James Island but the business grew and I was still teaching geology full-time at the College of Charleston — all while running another event business.
I was spread thin and my negligence allowed the flowers to fall victim to pests and weeds. I was really disappointed in myself but pivoted and sourced all flowers from local and American growers, which took the pressure off and allowed me to focus on growing my business. Those farmer relationships are still strong and one of the best parts of what I do.
Many things have changed since then. I’m no longer teaching and my business is my full time focus other than my boys who are grown enough that they need me a little less. My team is an incredible bunch of talented, creative people who love getting their hands dirty. So I’ve decided to revisit growing some flowers for us to use in designs as needed and to make the front of our urban shop inviting for pollinators, and maybe even make someone smile as they drive by. There will be no pressure to grow for the shop this season so that we can enjoy the experiment. Gardening should be enjoyable, right?
I’ve sought advice from many sources including my good friend Daniel of Petal Pickers in Greenville who grows the most amazing blooms. He recommended an excellent new book called The Cut Flower Handbook by Lisa Ziegler. It’s straightforward and full of easy to digest information. My friend Tracee of Potted Pleasures in Charleston is a treasure trove of information and a big cheerleader of ours which gives the confidence we need. Rita’s Roots in Charleston suggested raised beds which arrive next week. Wilson Mows Best in North Charleston is all set to install irrigation and my team is excited to pitch in. We’re all in!
I have a laundry list of flowers that I want to plant after researching but here are eight that are doable for beginners, have a long vase life and are perfect for at home arranging. Let’s try them together. Hold us accountable for keeping it up this time and stop by to see our progress and we’ll swap
tips so we can all be successful this year.
• Hibiscus ‘Mahogany Splendor’ for amazing foliage.
• Lemon Basil ‘Mrs. Burns’ variety for foliage and fragrance.
• Native spotted Bee Balm is my absolute favorite thing my flower friend Brenda grows for us. Might be too late but we are going to experiment anyway.
• Cosmos (any variety) is the perfect whimsy every bouquet needs.
• Cockscomb is a fascinating bloom that looks like brain coral or a rooster’s comb.
• Hairy Balls (yes you read that right) the ultimate conversation starter.
• Marigolds have an incredible vase life and grow until first frost.
• Zinnias of course! They are vibrant and a staple of summer bouquets.

Xo Brasserie, a restaurant serving Cantonese and Sichuan-influenced cuisine, is opening soon at 1090 Morrison Drive. Xo Brasserie owner Herman Ng, who previously worked with Indigo Road Hospitality, said he is excited to introduce Charleston diners to the food he grew up eating.
“My family owned [Chinese] restaurants all throughout the 70s, 80s, 90s and early 2000s,” said Ng, who grew up in Columbia. “I was the Chinese kid running around in the back.”
Growing up in a restaurant environment, Ng worked his way up and around a kitchen, moving from washing dishes to prepping food to learning how to cook on woks. He admitted that as a kid he wanted to fit in — “you want to eat hamburgers and pizzas” — but as he got older he yearned for the kind of international cuisine you can often only find in bigger cities.
“I feel like Charleston’s missing the food you see in New York, Chicago, Denver, San Francisco,” he said. “So [Xo Brasserie] kind of spawned from that thought of, ‘Man, I would love to be able to bring the type of cuisine it’s lacking.”
Partnering with executive chef Michael Chanthavong, Ng has created a modern Chinese American menu, with dishes like vegetarian Ma Po Tofu, salt and pepper shrimp and crab rangoon. “I’ve worked in steakhouses for Indigo Road and this [Xo Brasserie] has more ‘me’ to it,” said Ng. “I learned a lot working for them. This has more of my upbringing, culture and heritage.”
Ng said that while Xo Brasserie’s menu is inspired by the food he grew up eating, he worked hard to “take it from 1990 to 2024.” He said that plating and presentation is important, as is the blending of flavors, which range from Cantonese to Sichuan to Laotian (chef Chanthavong is Laos).
“I personally love dumplings, and I feel like there’s nothing like it around here in terms of the type of dumplings I grew up eating and that I make at home,” said Ng.
The incorporation of Sichuan flavors — often thought of as super spicy — won’t “blow your palate out,” he added. “I don’t want people to come here and take a bite of a dish and then they can’t taste anything after. That defeats the whole purpose.”
In addition to curating the menu’s flavors, Ng and his team carefully created a buzzy space inside the new, multi-use building on Morrison Drive. Brasserie’s interior features clean lines, moody lighting, leafy plants and special touches, like a large custom wine rack. Local art group Girls Who Paint Murals painted a large, colorful mural that spans Xo Brasserie’s bar area and part of its open kitchen.
Some of the larger tables feature big lazy Susans that play into Ng’s goal of familystyle dining. “It’s how I grew up,” he said. “You order a bunch of different dishes, and you all get to try a bunch of stuff.”
Ng wants guests to be able to try a
variety of dishes and he wants folks with food restrictions to feel like they’ve got a variety of choices, too. “I want it to be approachable for vegetarians and vegans. I want us to have gluten free options,” he said, adding that his time with Indigo Road helped him figure out how to, well, figure it out.
“It’s about hospitality,” said Ng, adding that he is both humbled by and grateful for the team members who joined him at Xo Brasserie, many of whom he worked with previously at Indigo Road.
This is Ng’s first experience opening his own restaurant and while he credits his past work experience with preparing him for a lot of the trials and tribulations, no one can really know until they know.
“It’s heavy, you know, in terms of [weighing on] the shoulder,” joked Ng. “But I think it’s going to be very rewarding. I have a very, very strong team.”

Embark on a Shakespearean odyssey as Ashley Hall Performing Arts resurrects a cherished tradition: Performances of Shakespeare’s plays at the Bear Cave, an outdoor stage and landmark on the campus. The performing arts program invites the public to experience a captivating outdoor production by high school students of King Lear at 5:30 p.m. March 15 and 16.
Outdoor Shakespeare performances are summer staples in larger cities like New York and Chicago. Now, the Charleston community can claim its own outdoor Shakespeare experience with Ashley Hall’s Shakespeare at the Bear Cave series, which celebrated its first production in 1911 and returned in 2022 after a hiatus.
King Lear is an exploration of the complexities of love and family. The play follows the King as he decides to split up the kingdom among his three daughters, examining how unchecked ambition can have dire consequences — and the vulnerability of relationships in the face of adversity.
Ashley Hall’s performing arts coordinator and director, Aimee PhelanDeconinck, said the play will modernize King Lear and incorporate multimedia elements — a projector and a camera will provide close-up views of the actors.
Phelan-Deconinck said this element is not just an aesthetic decision but a conscious attempt to enhance the audience’s engagement with the play: She aims to create a seamless fusion where the worlds of the play and the audience intertwine.
“The use of multimedia in sporting events does this: The kiss cam, the close up of the pitcher’s wind-up, the player sitting on the bench. The camera brings moments into our view of the whole that we might otherwise miss, engaging us as audience members in the story through various points of view which is an interesting way to experience a live event,” she said. This multi-media approach not only makes the production more accessible but also allows the audience to examine the raw emotions of the actor’s onstage.
Phelan-Deconinck also explained that
Ashley Hall revives its springtime tradition of offering outdoor Shakespeare stagings at the historic Bear Cave. Next weekend, the students celebrate two public performances of King Lear.
this production “brings the source material, seventeenth century England, to 1920’s New York, which is the time in which our interpretation is styled after.”
The Bear Cave is an iconic landmark at Ashley Hall’s historical campus and holds a special place in the institution’s story. This site, once the Witte family property acquired by Ashley Hall in 1909, has hosted Shakespearean performances since 1911.
“I love imagining all the students who have brought the words of Shakespeare to life on this historic outdoor stage,” said Dr. Anne T. Weston, the head of school and an Ashley Hall alumna. “We encourage the Charleston community to join us for this special tradition.”
Rehearsing in this historic venue presents unique challenges and opportunities, Phelan-Deconinck said, highlighting the need to navigate the area carefully to avoid damaging the beautiful landscaping. However, the Bear Cave’s emptiness becomes a metaphorical blank canvas,

Charleston-based musician Noah Jones is perhaps best known for his soulful contributions to Psycodelics, the Lowcountry’s well-loved blues/jazz/disco/funk/rock group. But he has actually been here his whole life, gathering the influences and ideas which spill over into not only the music he plays in three different local bands, but also the projects he makes solo, like, High! All by Myself, Jones’ brand-new album-in-progress slated for release later this year.
Jones told the Charleston City Paper that his early education helped to place him firmly on the musical path, especially his time at Charleston County School of the Arts, where Jones studied from 6th through 12th grade.
“My parents and the music they played for me was a huge influence when I was growing up, particularly Stevie Wonder,” he said. “His music inspired me to start trying to learn piano.”
For a while, Jones’ only options for tinkering were the upright piano that he had access to whenever he was visiting his grandparents’ house in Franklinton, N.C. and the low-budget Radio Shack keyboard that he had rescued from his own parents’ attic.
Once he mastered the instrument, however, Jones became an integral member of
the scene here in Charleston. Besides his notable role in Psycodelics, Jones is also a driving force in several other popular area acts, including Stop Light Observations and Little Bird.
Jones said that making the rounds and exploring new sounds is just part of the process that keeps him motivated to keep moving forward in the professional sphere. “I’m all about the song,” Jones said. “The genre doesn’t really define the quality to me. What I care about is if, through and through, the songs can speak to someone and mean something to them.”
Now that the in-demand piano man has taken a moment to do his own thing, Jones playfully warns that “people can expect a bit of jumping around stylistically,” with the solo stuff, too.
Jones does come clean by disclosing that he’s not really alone in all of this, but rather he is the one leading the charge for his longtime musical allies.
“The funny thing is that the people who are involved are, for the most part, from those other projects of mine,” he said. “So it’s kind of an oxymoron to call this a solo endeavor because I definitely couldn’t accomplish something like this without them.

inspired by my fellow creatives, and I love getting to work with them in a variety of ways,” Jones added. “The premise for High! All by Myself comes from me writing music all the time for other outlets and simply wanting to create a body of work that reflects who I am as an individual.”
Although the new single “Taxes,” which is available on all of the standard streaming services, is currently getting a lot of attention, Jones confirmed that no official live shows are on the books yet to showcase the High! All By Myself material.
“I definitely want to put these songs out into the world and let them exist first, but folks can certainly expect a couple more singles to drop throughout the spring,” Jones said.
At this juncture, Jones couldn’t be happier about the state of affairs in his decidedly funky world.

Plaintiff, by and through his undersigned counsel, would respectfully allege as follows:
PARTIES AND JURISDICTION
Plaintiff Claude C. Wilson (hereinafter referred to as the “Plaintiff”), is a citizen and resident of the State of South Carolina, County of Charleston.
Plaintiff Kyshia D. James is the Attorney in Fact of Plaintiff pursuant to a General Power of Attorney executed on May 25, 2023 and recorded with the Charleston County Register of Deeds on June 22, 2023 in Book 1186 at Page 743.
Plaintiff is informed and believes that Defendant, Kevin Shane Wilson, is a citizen and resident of the State of South Carolina, County of Charleston.
This Court has personal jurisdiction over the parties and subject matter jurisdiction over the issues raised herein.
Plaintiff is a vulnerable adult as defined in S.C. Code § 43-35-05 et al.
On or around July1, 2020, Plaintiff learned that he had to undergo inpatient physical rehabilitation, so he added Defendant to his Wells Fargo Account (“the Account”) to assist him in paying necessary expenses as an accommodation party.
Upon being discharged from his rehabilitation, Plaintiff moved back into his home.
Due to his mental and physical infirmities, Plaintiff requested that Defendant live with Plaintiff in Plaintiff’s home (“the Home”) so that Defendant could assist Plaintiff in every day life. Plaintiff kept Defendant’s name on the Account so that Defendant could assist Plaintiff in paying expenses. Defendant was prohibited from using the funds for the Defendant’s own benefit.
Plaintiff is informed and believes that Defendant engaged in a course of self dealing without permission and converted over $77,500.00 from the Account.
Plaintiff is informed and believes that on December 2, 2021, Defendant coerced Plaintiff into executing a Quit Claim Deed (the “Deed”) deeding 50% ownership in the Home to the Defendant. A copy of the Deed is attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated by reference herein.
FOR A FIRST CAUSE OF ACTION (Constructive Trust)
The foregoing paragraphs are realleged as if fully set forth herein verbatim.
Kyshia
said pleading upon
North Charleston, South Carolina 29405, within thirty (30) days after service hereof, exclusive of the day of such service, and if you fail to answer the Complaint within the time aforesaid, judgment by default will
At all relevant times, the Plaintiff was unaware of the nature and quality of the act of conveying the ownership interest in the property. It would be inequitable for the Defendant to retain ownership in the property. Defendant received title by violating S.C. Code § 43-35-05 et. al.
Plaintiff asks the Court to find that the Defendant holds Title to the Property in a constructive trust for the benefit of the Plaintiff.
FOR A SECOND CAUSE OF ACTION (Conversion)
The foregoing paragraphs are realleged as if fully set forth herein verbatim.
Plaintiffs had an interest in the funds within the Account.
Defendant was only permitted to use the funds in the account to benefit the Plaintiff.
Plaintiff is informed and believes that Defendant converted over $77,500.00 for its own use. Plaintiff did not provide permission for Defendant to convert over $77,500.00 for Defendant’s benefit.
Plaintiff is entitled to actual damages and any further relief the Court deems proper.
RELIEF REQUESTED
WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs pray the Court hold the Defendant liable for the actions set forth herein, to enter judgment against the Defendant and in favor of Plaintiffs, and to award the following relief: Declare a constructive trust; Rescind the Deed; Award Plaintiffs all actual, consequential, and punitive damages against the Defendant in an amount to be proven at trial; and Any other relief this Court deems just and equitable.
