Bertholf joined the Fire Department in 2001 after serving four years in the U.S. Marine Corps and achieving the rank of corporal. He worked his way up the department ranks and became chief in 2015.

First responders take on elementary school students
Historic Beaufort Foundation still has seat on board – for now By Mindy Lucas The future of a local historic preservation group’s seat on Beaufort’s Historic District Review Board remains to be seen, while officials with both the group and the city say it is still there – for now. The removal of Historic Beaufort Foundation’s (HBF) longstanding seat was first broached in November as editorials both for and against the seat’s removal ran in The Island News and a city council meeting brought out impassioned members of the community on both sides of the issue. While council members voted 3 to 2 on first reading to remove the seat at the council’s November meeting, in an abrupt turn of events members voted to table the issue just two weeks later. At that same meeting, Beaufort Mayor Billy Keyserling, who earlier had been in favor of removing the seat, announced the appointment of a panel to study the issue. The panel was also to discuss other topics such as training and improved standards that would simplify the process for applicants going before the review board, the mayor said. That panel has since formed and met three times, though what action will ultimately be taken on the status of HBF’s seat on the Historic District Review Board has yet to be determined. Asked if the issue had been discussed, HBF’s Executive Director Cynthia Jenkins who was appointed to the panel
Karin Bennett, St. Peter’s physical education teacher, was the pitcher for both teams to keep things even.
Michael Chisholm of the Lady’s Island/St. Helena Fire Dept. tries to catch a fly ball during the third annual Heroes vs. Cardinals kickball game. The ball however bounced off Chisholm’s chest and fell to the ground, loading the bases. By Bob Sofaly It was Beaufort County first responders taking on the students of St. Peter’s Catholic Elementary School for the epic third annual Heroes vs. Cardinals Kickball Game on Tuesday, Jan. 28, at the school’s soccer field. The game was in conjunction with National Catholic Schools Week.
The contest was started as an idea to involve the local fire fighters who work with the schools throughout the year with training and fire drills. “Last year we included not just Lady’s Island/St. Helena fire department, but opened it up to all the other local first responder agencies including those from Bluffton,” said Jessica Green of St. Peter’s. First responders and students
were divided up equally so as not to give the students too much of an advantage. During the second-inning stretch, both teams took a quick sprint around the soccer field to stay loose. Atziry Benaridez, a 2nd-grader at the school, beat everyone. Later it leaked that she is also on the school’s cross country team. The score ended tied at 8.

City seeks input on new playground equipment at Waterfront Park By Mindy Lucas What kind of playground equipment would you like to see in Beaufort’s Waterfront Park? That’s what city planners would like to know. The city will be replacing the park’s aging playground equipment
soon and is seeking input on what parents and community members would like to see as its replacement. The equipment that is there now was installed in 2006 and is either wearing out or has parts that are nearly impossible to replace, said
Downtown Operations Director Linda Roper. The new equipment is expected to cost $250,000 to $300,000. As of Thursday, Jan. 30 the city had already heard from 394 participants in the survey, and was plan-
ning to leave the survey posted for one more week. If you’d like to give your feedback, you can find the survey on the city’s website and social media accounts or at www.surveymonkey.com/r/ TPXHSK9.

Paul Sommerville of Pigeon Point shows off one of his grapefruit trees. Sommerville said he has five fruit-bearing trees, some more than 20-feet tall, in his backyard. He said there are many others that are too young for fruit, all planted from seeds. Sommerville has two trees below the bluff of his backyard which gets inundated with salt water. He said the salinity hasn’t hindered their growth. Sommerville said his trees make up the largest grapefruit grove in Beaufort County. Photo by Bob Sofaly.

Another arrest made in connection to Blackshear’s death
On Wednesday, Jan. 2, a 16-year-old male, was the fourth suspect arrested and charged in the shooting death of 18-year-old Trey Blackshear, according to the Bluffton Poilce. The 16-year-old was located by the U.S. Marshals Task
Force in Jacksonville, Fla. Two Bluffton Police Detectives extradited the male from Jacksonville on Wednesday, Jan. 29 and transported him to the Department of Juvenile Justice in Columbia, where he will be held until his Family Court date.
Three others have already been arrested and charged in conjunction with the death of Blackshear. In late December, another 16-year-old was charged for his suspected involvement. In January, 20-year-old Jaesean Redd and 19-year-old Kionna
Ferguson were charged for Accessory After the Fact to Murder. Detectives believe the shooting was the result of drug activity. Blackshear was found shot to death inside a vehicle in the parking lot of the Lord of Life Lutheran Church in
Bluffton on the afternoon of Dec. 23, 2019. Video surveillance footage captured two males running from Blackshear’s vehicle toward Buckwalter Place, where they got into a light-colored sedan and drove off. Blackshear’s murder is an
ongoing investigation by the Bluffton Police Department. Anyone having information regarding the murder of Trey Blackshear is encouraged to call the Bluffton Police Department Tip Line 843-7064560 or Crimestoppers of the Lowcountry at 843-554-1111.
Burton man dies after altercation, stabbing related to domestic dispute
By Mindy Lucas A Burton man involved in a physical altercation related to a domestic dispute has died after being stabbed at a residence east of Joe Frazier Road, officials say. Jamel Brown, 36, was
stabbed in a physical altercation at a home on Harold Drive and died after the incident on Monday, Feb. 3, according to an alert issued by the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office. Deputies with the sheriff’s office and emergency medi-
cal services responded to the scene just after midnight on Monday where they learned a domestic dispute had taken place between Brown and a woman at the residence. The dispute led to a physical altercation between Brown
and a male juvenile, also at the home when first responders arrived. Brown was stabbed with a knife during the altercation, the alert said. Brown was first taken to Beaufort Memorial Hospital, then to the Medical Universi-
ty of South Carolina (MUSC), where he died during surgery. The knife believed to have been used in the stabbing was recovered inside the home. A forensic autopsy will be conducted at MUSC on Tuesday to determine the cause
and manner of Brown’s death. All three of the parties involved in the incident are cooperating with authorities, the alert said. As of Monday, no one had been charged in the incident. The sheriff’s office is continuing to investigate.

Prokop, HBF’s preservation chairman, Rob Montgomery, and HBF board member and former chair for the Historic District Review Board, Chuck Symes. The group, along with other members of HBF and the Historic District Review Board, also met with preservation officers from the state’s historic preservation office for a twohour educational session. Jenkins said the experts and the group discussed Beaufort’s responsibilities as a Certified Local Government, or CLG,
in monitoring and managing historic zoning. One of the key benefits to being a CLG, Jenkins said, is that Beaufort, along with other CLGs, are placed at the top of the list for any federal monies earmarked for historic preservation funding. Recent preservation work to The Arsenal, which houses the visitor’s center and the Beaufort History Museum, were made possible through such funding. National Historic Landmark Districts are also given
priority, when federal funding for historic preservation is considered. Beaufort is one of only four such districts in South Carolina. “So we go up another notch for funding and we go up another notch for prestige,” Jenkins said. In December, the mayor had asked that the group issue a report within 60 days that would serve as a “talking piece” for a public work session. In January, he said the panel was on track to meet that deadline, and it would probably be “an
outline of the issues and how to approach those.” In the meantime, the Historic District Review Board, normally a five-member board, has been operating with only three members since July. The city recently filled one of its two vacancies, but has yet to name a fifth. The HBF had submitted its own candidate, Mary Ragsdale, but has not been informed as to the status of Ragsdale’s application yet. At the December city council meeting, Keyserling told Rags-
dale, who has a background in residential design, that council had decided to postpone filling the fifth seat “out of deference to not move too quickly.” “If it’s not a designated seat, you’re still a candidate. If it is a designated seat you would be their nominee but would still go through the process,” he told Ragsdale, adding that he hoped to have the issue resolved by the end of February. The next City Council meeting is Feb. 11. The Historic District Review Board is set to meet Feb. 12.

Special to The Island News Beaufort Memorial Hospital, the first healthcare provider in the area to offer robotic-assisted hysterectomies, is now using the advanced technology to customize and improve total knee replacements. The cutting-edge Mako Robotic Arm-Assisted Surgery System allows orthopaedic surgeons to create a surgical plan unique to a patient’s anatomy, and then use the robotic arm to implant the components with greater precision, leading to better function and more natural movement. “With the robot, we can more closely customize the ideal position of the knee implant, increasing its longevity,” board-certified BMH orthopaedic surgeon Dr. Edward Blocker, chair of the hospital’s orthopaedic department, said in a release. “We’ve been watching this technology for a long time and think it clearly offers a benefit.” Blocker, of Beaufort Memorial Orthopaedic Specialists in Port Royal, performed the hospital’s first robotic-assisted knee replacement surgery late last month and has another 10 scheduled over the next few weeks. Four other board-certified orthopaedic surgeons on the BMH medical staff have been trained to perform the surgery. The doctors now offering the state-of-the-art procedure are Drs. Kevin Jones, Vandit Sardana and Leland Stoddard, also with Beaufort Memorial Orthopaedic Specialists, and Carson Sanders, of Beaufort Sports & Spine Center. With the Mako system, the first step in total knee replacement is a patient-specific surgical plan. A CT scan is taken of the knee to create a 3-D virtual model of the patient’s unique joint.

Who Is Jesus?
Not the Telephone Game The Gospels Are Trustworthy
Many of us remember playing the telephone game as children. As the message is whispered from child to child, it inevitably becomes changed beyond recognition. When considering Jesus as a historical figure, people may wonder whether something similar might have happened with the Gospels. How can we know that the accounts about his life are reliable, and not exaggerated or invented over time? The four Gospels were written from first-hand testimony. The telephone game doesn’t work as an image for the writing of the Gospels. Matthew and John were apostles who spent three years with Jesus, so their Gospels are written from personal memories. Mark and Luke were both writing down the testimony of those who saw and heard Jesus in person. The Gospels of Mark and Luke would be like a game of telephone with only two children, with the second child writing down the message as he hears it from the first child.
The good news about Jesus was shared right from the start. It is not as if the first Christians believed that Jesus was just a great human teacher, and then a hundred years later, a legend began to develop that he is divine and rose miraculously from the dead. Right away, the apostles began to travel throughout the known world, boldly preaching that Jesus had been raised from the dead, and that he is truly God! This good news is also seen clearly in the letters of Saint Paul, one of the first Christian leaders. People were around to correct the Gospels if they were false. The Gospels were written within a few decades after the resurrection of Jesus, when eyewitnesses were still living who could have easily disproven the Gospel accounts if they were invented out of thin air. For example, the Gospels present Jesus as performing many miracles of healing. There were many people still living who witnessed his ministry, and it would be easy enough to find out whether or not Jesus was known for healing people.

The Gospels give us an accurate image of the historical Jesus. They are historical documents, similar to other ancient biographies. CODE 22118 Their authors sought to give MODEL readers a true account of the words and actions of Jesus of Nazareth. This means that the Gospels cannot be dismissed as legends or folk tales. Jesus is a historical figure, and if we are to take him seriously, we must also consider carefully his claim to be divine.

Creek boys close out rivalry win over Eagles in empty gym Battery Creek’s boys waited out a delay of nearly 30 minutes, then finished out a 70-67 home win over rival Beaufort High on Saturday. Play was halted with 2:46 remaining in the game after a skirmish broke out in the crowd, resulting in officials clearing the gym of everyone except players, administrators, cheerleaders, and media. When play resumed 28 minutes later, the Dolphins were clinging to a 62-58 lead. The Eagles clawed within 6866 and had two free throws with a chance to tie it with 8 seconds left, but they converted only one foul shot and the Dolphins closed out a hard-fought victory. Daviyone Sanders scored 14 points, Obie Wilson and Amoni Waring added 13 apiece, and David Grober had 11 to lead Battery Creek. “I told our guys to keep our composure, we’ve still got a game to play and we’ve still got to be locked
in,” Brown said of the delay. “We try to get these guys to understand that if you play basketball, (discipline) is key. We don’t want any nonsense, and in order to be successful, that stuff has to stay on the outside.” Rush Riley scored 18 points, Oliver Holmes had 17, and Ben VanHise added 10 to lead the Eagles. “We played a hard-fought game and had some chances at the end to take the lead or tie, but couldn’t convert,” Beaufort coach Jeremy Huff said.

Wechsler wins ‘Jonathan Peck Skills for Life’ award
From left, Marilyn Peck, Stefan Wechsler and Beaufort High School head football coach Bryce Lybrand celebrate Wechsler’s “Jonathan Peck Skills for Life” award.
As Beaufort High School Football gathered for its annual banquet on Dataw Island to celebrate a great season, in which they won a region championship, one team member, Stefan Wechsler, was recognized as this year’s recipient of the “Jonathan Peck Skills for Life” award. The award honored Weschler’s achievements both academically and socially, recognizing his pos-
itive attitude, perseverance and academic achievement (4.35 GPA). Roughly 250 players, coaches, school administrators, families, and Dataw Island members gathered in the Carolina Ballroom for a banquet and dinner sponsored by Dataw Island members. Each spring, the Dataw Island members host the BHS Football Banquet. Dataw Island member and football supporter Marilyn
Peck congratulated the student athletes on an excellent season and, after spending time at her grandson’s football games, has a new-found appreciation for parents with football kids. “It’s a lot of hard work having a child in football. Making sure you get them to practice on time, eating right, et cetera. It’s really hard!” she said. Peck’s late husband, Jonathan Peck, was also an
avid football supporter and in his honor, the Jonathan Peck Skills for Life Award is given every year. The Award recognizes an outstanding student athlete who exemplifies the traits that Jon Peck held dear, on and off the field: a positive attitude, ability to get along with everyone, spirituality, appearance, communication skills, and having a plan for improving themselves in academics and in life.

Georgia’s Cumberland a reminder of what Beaufort County lost
I
t is Saturday, Jan. 18, and I’m at the Dungeness ruins on Cumberland Island. Cumberland is 36,000 acres of (almost) untouched maritime forest bordered by 17 miles of Sahara-sized dunes — a landscape that makes one gasp and fall on one’s knees thanking God we had the wisdom to leave this place undisturbed, undiminished. It is also a destination for the day-trippers who make the 45-minute boat ride across Cumberland Sound from St. Mary’s, Ga. Earlier today Susan and I were a part of those embarking day-trippers; waiting at the end of a dock; watching a troop of confused Boy Scouts remove their stainless steel cook stoves and neoprene water bottles from the bow of the “Cumberland Lady.” “They’ll be taking another boat,” said the Park Ranger. But after learning there was no second boat, the
SCOTT GRABER
female ranger told the Scouts to reload their gear while the rest of us — mostly gray-haired, hypertensive retirees — were fighting off a squadron of January-gestated “no-seeums.” “Do not touch the feral horses or pose for selfies with them … and do not try to mount them,” she said to a group arthritic oldsters that would never, under any circumstances, try to mount a feral animal of any kind. “There’s canine distemper on Cumberland and you may see a raccoon who appears tipsy,” she continued. “These animals are not rabid; but do not feed or try to make friends with them.”
At this point, a second wave of “no-seeums” made another attack, and some of the day-trippers were ready to retreat to the Riverview Hotel where we had just knocked down our complimentary bagel. “Whatever you take onto Cumberland must be taken off of Cumberland,” she continued. “And you are limited — by virtue of NPS rules — to the removal of two items from the beach. If these items are shells there can’t be any organic material in those shells,” she said. Cumberland was once the exclusive enclave of Thomas Carnegie — he built Dungeness — and his fortune kept the loggers and paper-making folks at bay. But in the late 1960s the Carnegie heirs knew their time and resources were finite. Some of these descendants approached the National Park Service looking for options. About the same time, our own Charles Fraser (Sea
Pines Plantation) was learning that retirees from New Canaan, Noroton and New Haven would come south and live on a barrier island if there were covenants, manicured golf courses and a guard (with a badge) at the gate. And so Fraser quietly purchased 3,000 acres from Thomas Carnegie’s heirs. But when Fraser cleared-off the trees for a mile-long airstrip, the Georgia Conservancy took note. At the same time the State of Georgia decided that it needed Cumberland for an active recreation area — much like the one they had developed on Jekyll Island. Fraser was determined to develop his Cumberland property and sent a young Harvard MBA — Landon Butler — to Cumberland to rally local support. Initially Butler was successful but then he met a local, anti-development activist named Nancy Johnson. She convinced him
there was merit in keeping the Island pristine and they (with help from the Georgia Conservancy) convinced an up-and-coming Governor, Jimmy Carter, that Carnegie’s offshore retreat should be a National Seashore. Two years later President Richard Nixon signed the Bill which required a wilderness feasibility study that would also prohibit the building of a bridge or a causeway. From the beginning, the emphasis was keeping Cumberland Island isolated and free of any architecture that would diminish the forest and the dunes. And when one arrives at the Sea Camp Ranger Station and walks into the mystical live oak forest,one immediately understands that this magical place is worth the Ranger’s orientation; and the swarms of “no-seeums”; and the $31.64 round trip fee for passage across the Sound. And
Electronics recycling should come with some instructions
T
here was a recent announcement in the newspaper about the recycling program going on in Beaufort County on Feb. 8. It takes place over at the Beaufort County Recycling Center at 120 Shanklin Road which is near the Marine Corps Air Station. This announcement motivated me to pull out some of our old electronics. It did not take long for the dining room table to look like a counter in an old Radio Shack Store. There were old phones, old radios, personal computers, a laser jet printer, and a box of unidentifiable

highlighting daily life observations
cords. I also found two old (broken) DVD players. Time to purge! Like many of our friends, we have hesitated to recycle any of these electronics because of all the private information still loaded on
them. And we are not savvy to know how to strip the information. I asked one of my IT gurus about getting rid of old computers and he said, “I do not get rid of them. I just extend my network capacity.” “Huh?” I replied. He was no help at all. Then I went on YouTube because it seems like there is a video for everything you want to do. I found the information to remove the hard drive from my 2010 Sony Personal Computer. There was also information on how to “clean”
phones. But without the proper cords to charge the old phones, it was impossible. I had also considered just selling some of the old iPhones. Turned out our pile included three old Apple iPhones. I called one of the places that buys old cell phones and the agent suggested I go out to my garage, grab a hammer and smash the Apple iPhone 3 to pieces. Talk about rude! I spent good money on that phone. It evidently has no value. That is the problem. We all paid good money for
these devices and now they are worthless. As you can imagine, no one was giving me any good suggestions for wiping the memory, but my daughter suggested that I look at chargers from other devices. Sure enough, I found my old cracked iPad (another thing on the table) and it had a charger that fit the old phones. I charged the phones, went to the settings and put the phones back to factory default setting, which supposedly wiped the memory. I am not sure, but if anyone wants my contacts from
Cumberland Island is also a reminder of what we have lost here in Beaufort County. Yes, I know that Beaufort County was once characterized as a third world country complete with hunger, hemorrhagic fever and intestinal worms the size of recumbent rattlesnakes. And yes, I know there are new schools, wider highways and expanded hospitals thanks to the tax dollars that pour into the county’s coffers. And yes, I was once on the Planning Commission and approved (some of) the condominiums and outlet malls that have become the ignoble backdrop for our suburbanized lives. But everyone who lives here should pony-up $31.64 (and the $10 entrance fee) and see what Beaufort County looked like 75 years ago.

10 years ago, have at them. So, my suggestion to the people running these recycling days: Have a seminar to instruct the public on how to wipe off all the private information. Because, if most people are like us, this stuff is piling up in their homes and it really needs to go.
