Investigation into Bluffton murder results in arrests in Beaufort Arrests have been made in Beaufort in connection to the Dec. 23 murder of 18-year-old Trey Blackshear in Bluffton.

According to the Bluffton Police Department, arrest warrants were obtained Wednesday, Jan. 8 for 20-year-old Jaesean Redd and 19-year-old Kionna Ferguson for Accessory After the Fact to Murder.

The arrest warrant for Redd was served on Jan. 8 at the

Beaufort County Detention Center where he was being held on other charges. Redd is being held on a $150,000 cash bond.

Ferguson was located on January 8 with the assistance of Beaufort County Sheriff Deputies. Her warrant was served by Bluffton Police and she is being held on a $100,000 cash bond.

In late December, a 16-year-old was identified as

a subject involved in connection with the murder of Blackshear, as well. The juvenile was charged with Murder and is currently being held at the S.C. Department of Juvenile Justice in Columbia.

Blackshear was found shot to death inside a vehicle in the parking lot of the Lord of Life Lutheran Church in Bluffton on 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. The two subjects were not immediately located.

According to the Bluffton Police, in the following days, the investigation revealed the light-colored sedan was registered to a residence on Mink Point Boulevard in Beaufort. The Beaufort

County Violent Crimes Task Force conducted surveillance on the vehicle and obtained warrants to search the vehicle and the Mink Point Boulevard residence.

During the search, members of the Bluffton Police Department, the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office, the 14th Circuit Solicitor’s Office Career Criminal Unit and the Beaufort County Violent Crimes Task Force found

more than 20 people inside the residence along with 10 handguns, several rifles and narcotics.

Blackshear’s murder is an ongoing investigation by the Bluffton Police Department.

Anyone having information regarding the crime is encouraged to call the Bluffton Police Department Tip Line at 843-706-4560 or Crimestoppers of the Lowcountry at 843-554-1111.

like Maurice and the Working Families Party," Elizabeth Warren said in an email.

"Maurice has been fighting for a long time for the same issues that we have worked

to elevate throughout our campaign. Together, we will continue to fight for big, structural change in South Carolina and across our country."

Mitchell campaigns for Warren in Lowcountry

By Mike McCombs Working Families Party National Director Maurice Mitchell made a trip to Beaufort County last week to campaign for Elizabeth Warren for president, making stops on Hilton Head Island, in Bluffton and Beaufort.

Mitchell spoke to Beaufort County residents about Warren’s plans to fight climate change, guarantee a great public school education for every student and provide universal child care.

“She has experience as an everyday person. She was an educator, a mom, an actual

person, not a politician, who has experienced all of the ups and downs,” Mitchell said of Warren. “All her programs are created, not just to solve problems, but to help everyday Americans take back this country.”

He also said Warren’s biggest asset may be her “ability to listen, to learn about people’s struggles.”

Mitchell said he was “excited” to be on the road supporting Warren, where he was building relationships and spending time with a lot of different groups of people.

Of all of the issues on the

table for the 2020 election, Mitchell said universal child care may be the one he hears the most about on the campaign trail.

“So many people deal with how expensive child care is,” Mitchell said. “It’s such a significant expense, it’s so hard to start a family, to build a family to expand a family.

(Universal child care) would have such a significant impact on so many families.

It’s pretty remarkable what it would mean to people’s everyday lives.”

In April 2018, Mitchell became the first African Amer-

ican to hold the position of National Director of the Working Families Party. He has two decades of experience in political and community organizing including the Movement for Black Lives, the global network behind the Black Lives Matter movement.

Most recently, Maurice co-founded Blackbird, a movement-building organization that offers communications services and has worked closely with Black Lives Matter Global Network.

Beaufort Digital Corridor nabs $65K grant The Beaufort Digital Corridor has been awarded a $65,000 Relentless Challenge grant from the South Carolina Department of Commerce Office of Innovation.

The grant funds projects that focus on fostering the relentless pursuit of transformational ideas, specifically in the areas of entrepreneurship, talent development, and access to capital. The grant requires a dollar-for-dollar match from non-state entities.

The Digital Corridor’s

project, Technology Product Development Training, is for entrepreneurs with a product idea that has scalable potential. Through immersive experience, they will be able to understand exactly how they will develop their product, what they need to do that and be in a much better position to complete their product in a timely manner.

Training will be provided largely by USC Beaufort Computer Science faculty and students, as well as the BDC’s

mentor and professional network.

“Empowering localized efforts for the innovation community is crucial as South Carolina’s knowledge economy continues to grow,” Secretary of Commerce Bobby Hitt said in a release. “Access to capital, talent development, and high-scaling entrepreneurship are key elements for a thriving innovation ecosystem. We look forward to collaborating with each Relentless Challenge project over the

coming year.”

Interested parties are encouraged to attend an informational seminar open to residents, BDC members, and the public at BASEcamp from 6 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 29.

Applications will be accepted through Feb. 7 to determine product concepts that have the best commercial potential.

dor exists: to help technology entrepreneurs become growing, hiring companies,” BDC Board Chairman Kevin Klingler said in a release.

Historical Society hosting presentation on International African American Museum

The Beaufort County Historical Society, in partnership with the Beaufort District Collection of the Beaufort Library, will host a special presentation on Thursday, Jan. 23, on the International African American Museum (IAAM), now being built in Charleston.

The speaker will be Bernard Powers, PhD., Professor Emeritus at the College of Charleston, currently serving as the interim CEO and President of the IAAM and the College’s Center for the Study of Slavery. The lecture will be given at the down-

town library, beginning at noon. Seating is limited, and doors will open at 11:30 a.m.

The International African American Museum has been in the planning and fundraising stages for nearly 20 years. A $92 million dollar project, it will be located at Gadsden’s Wharf in Charleston, where nearly half the enslaved Africans arrived in America. Support for the project has come from individuals, organizations, and governments from across South Carolina, the United States, and worldwide according to Dr.

Elijah Heyward, the Chief Operating Officer for the Museum and a native of Beaufort.

The Museum will include exhibits tracing African American history from Africa to North America and the Caribbean, from slavery to the present day.

Tracing their contributions to South Carolina and American history, it will tell the story of African Americans’ life and culture, including that of the Gullah and Geechee people.

The Museum will be a center for genealogical re-

search and recording space for oral histories, connecting individuals to their own history and linking with others. There will also be changing exhibits looking at contemporary issues affecting the African American experience.

In his talk, Dr. Powers will discuss the background and goals of the museum and explain how the Museum and the Center for the Study of Slavery are eager to work with other museums and historic sites across the state, such as those in Beaufort, to expand our understanding

from page A1 and Johnson, Mirmiran & Thompson engineering firm, were shown three options or alternatives. Participants could then “vote” or place a blue dot on the option they preferred and give feedback to engineers on hand for the meeting.

While all three options called for the removal of a traffic signal at Geechie Road and converting the road’s access from Sea Island Parkway to a right turn in and right turn out only, each of the alternatives had different plans for handling traffic flow.

Alternative 1, called the “Youmans Drive” alternative, would include improvements made to Geechie Road to Youmans Drive. It would add a traffic signal and right turn lane at Youmans Drive where it meets Sea Island Parkway and a left turn would be added at Meridian Road for traffic turning onto Youmans Drive.

Beaufort Memorial’s thru access would also be addressed in this plan.

The estimated cost of Alternative 1 is $3.5 million.

Alternative 2, called the “Meridian Road” alternative,

were impressed with Harrison’s hardscrabble upbringing, they were also keenly interested in learning how he plans to unseat three-term Senator Lindsey Graham in a state that hasn’t elected a Democrat to the Senate in more than two decades.

would add a traffic signal and right turn lane at Meridian Road and Sea Island Parkway.

A new road accessing school property would be cut from Meridian Road to the school and a left turn lane added for traffic entering here. A traffic signal would be added at Sunset Boulevard for traffic traveling across Sea island Parkway.

The estimated cost of alternative two is $2.7 million.

Alternative 3, called the “Sunset Boulevard” alternative, calls for the construction of a road to be built through the Lady’s Island Shopping Center. The road would connect Geechie Road to an intersection at Sunset Boulevard, where a traffic signal would be added.

The estimated cost of Alternative 3 is $2.8 million but could run upward of $3.8 million depending on the design of the road and if any specific parcels of land need to be acquired.

Although it was the most popular option, according to the number of blue dots placed at Wednesday night’s meeting, Alternative 3 didn’t sit well with at least one local business owner.

Richard Wynn, who owns and operates the Lady’s Island Laundromat in the Lady’s Island shopping center, A Yale University and Georgetown Law graduate, Harrison is the former chairman of the S.C. Democratic Party, and is currently an associate chairman of the Democratic National Committee.

He launched his senate campaign earlier in 2019 and held a kickoff rally in Orangeburg at the end of September.

Fred Compton, a retired educator and self-described “registered Republican,” attended both the Orangeburg rally and Saturday’s event.

Compton said he was impressed with Harrison and had even bought a T-shirt at the kickoff.

was concerned the road project would take parking away from his customers.

Engineers on hand Wednesday night said the new road could impact the shopping center and may require taking some parking spaces, although they could not say how many that might be.

If that happens, Wynn said it would negatively affect his business.

“It definitely will,” he said.

“If people don’t have a place to park, they’re not going to come here.”

According to Beaufort County’s Director of Engineering Rob McFee, the county has had a number of discussions with the shopping plaza’s owner, local developer Merritt Patterson, should Alternative 3 be selected.

McFee said Alternative 3 could become “very expensive” if it requires the county to buy the entire shopping

center.

“That’s one of the biggest issues with Alternative No. 3 – is the impact to this commercial entity so how do we balance that?”

The county presented a chart detailing the number of residential properties versus commercial properties each option could impact. It also gave each option a score in terms of traffic operations. Alternative 3 had the best score from the standpoint of traffic.

A similar information meeting was held in November to detail the Sams Point Road turn lane project. The county plans to hold such meetings for each of the proposed road projects so that residents can provide feedback, McFee said at that meeting, and there will be at least one additional meeting on the Beaufort High School project.

Laura Vernon who attended Wednesday’s meeting said initially, she was concerned about the impact the roads project and its proposed alternatives might have on traffic in her Burkmeyer Beach neighborhood, off Meridian Road.

“But I don’t think any of them will affect my area as bad as I was fearing to begin with,” she said.

The mother of four elementary school-age children said her family had often used the facilities and the pool at the high school and had voted for Alternative 3.

As longtime area residents, she and husband, Darby, have watched as traffic has become more congested and the area has continued to grow over the years, they said.

“The (road) improvements are definitely wanted,” she said. “But of course you can’t make everyone happy.”

“And I don’t buy T-shirts,” he said.

Chief among the issues that are important to him, Compton said, are term limits – he thinks Graham has been in office for too long.

“I believe we need a change,” he said.

The Bluffton resident apparently isn’t alone in his belief.

Harrison’s campaign raised more than $3.5 million in the last quarter of 2019, more than any candidate for a single quarter in South Carolina history, his campaign recently announced.

The average contribution

was $27. Donations came from 67,000 individual donors, and 112,000 different contributions, including contributions from every county in the state, the campaign said.

Harrison also has some serious backers. Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., who Harrison worked for as a senior aide when Clyburn was the U.S. House Majority Whip, has endorsed him as well as former S.C. Democratic Governor Jim Hodges.

Among the issues Harrison talked about on Saturday were healthcare, education and student loan debt.

On healthcare, Harrison

talked about South Carolina communities that have lost their area’s only hospital, the lack of OB-GYNs in rural areas and the lack of access to service by many more.

“Almost 300,000 people should have healthcare right now in South Carolina if the Republicans would pass the Medicaid expansion, and they won’t.”

On education, he said South Carolina’s teachers were underpaid, weren’t respected and that mounting college debt was going to have a “dramatic drag” on the economy.

He also talked about re-

building the public’s trust in the political process.

“This election is not about Donald Trump. It’s not about Lindsey Graham. It’s about the thousands of people across this state and the millions of people across this nation who have given up all hope,” he said.

He called for South Carolinians to unite and referenced South Carolina’s motto, “While I breathe, I hope.”

“The only way we win is if we all work together,” he said. “And if we all do every single thing within our power to bring hope back to South Carolina.”

Q&A WITH JAIME HARRISON

By Mindy Lucas U.S. Senate candidate and Democrat Jaime Harrison made a recent appearance in Bluffton following a campaign stop in Lancaster County.

The stops are part of a 46-county campaign tour in an effort to unseat longtime Senator Lindsey Graham.

Harrison talked to The Island News in an exclusive one-on-one after that appearance.

What do you think your chances are of beating Lindsey Graham?

Harrison: If I didn’t think I could, I wouldn’t be in this. I am a very pragmatic guy. There is a path. Now is it tough? Yes. It’s going to be tough beating an entrenched incumbent. But right now, I think people are hungry for something different.

They are ready for someone who has a vision for where we’re

concerned with the quality of health care in the state. They are very concerned with the fact that these rural hospitals are closing, the cost of prescription drugs.

All of those things are things that keep people up at night because it has real repercussions. And right now, it’s something that is impacting Democrats and Republicans. It doesn’t know one party or the other, doesn’t know one race or the other.

Everybody is having issues or, at least, if they’re not having them, then they know a family member or close friend who is having issues in the health care space.

Right now, health in South Carolina is expensive. Republicans, including Lindsey Graham, have stood in the way and fought against Medicaid expansion, and, as a result, that has driven up the cost

of healthcare in this state and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Infrastructure is a huge issue in this state. Many of our poor rural counties have aging infrastructure and are falling apart, but they don’t have the resources to replace it.

Many of these communities are drying up and dying because there aren’t any opportunities for the young people that live in those communities, so they grow up in the community, they leave and they never come back.

So we need a Senator right now who has a vision for making sure that our rural communities remain vibrant, making sure they have the infrastructure that they need, that their hospitals don’t go away, that they can connect to the Internet, all of the things – the fundamentals that you have to have to be a vi-

HEALTH

SCETV focuses on Beaufort Memorial telehealth program

Special to The Island News South Carolina Educational Television (SCETV) is shining the spotlight on Beaufort Memorial Hospital’s newest venture into telemedicine.

The public television network recently videotaped a segment about a pilot program that offers patients with heart issues in rural Hampton County virtual visits with their cardiologist in Beaufort, saving them the hour drive to the coast.

The telemedicine service is available at Beaufort Memorial’s Harrison Peeples Health Care Center in Varnville.

With the help of an on-site medical assistant and a cart equipped with an adjustable video camera and oversized computer screen, Beaufort Memorial cardiologist Dr. Stuart Smalheiser can talk with a patient face-to-face. Peripheral tools on the cart, including a blood pressure cuff and internet-connected stethoscope, allow him to examine the patient remotely.

Smalheiser visits the clinic in person several times a month. But when he’s not in Varnville, he offers follow-up appointments via the telemedicine technology.

“It’s a great way to manage urgent needs and expedite

Part of the South Carolina Telehealth Alliance, SCETV has created more than 90 videos featuring elements of telehealth being used in the Palmetto State.

“The videos tell the stories of patients who have experienced telehealth,” SCETV digital media manager and producer Tabitha Safdi said.

“Many of them live in underserved or rural areas of the state that have limited access to health care.”

Taking top billing in the Varnville video is Andrea Robinson, one of the first patients to use Harrison Peeples’ telemedicine service. The crew taped a visit with his primary

care provider, board-certified family medicine specialist Dr. Brad Kelly, as well as a telemedicine consult with Dr. Smalheiser.

“It’s convenient for our patients to be able to see specialists without having to go all the way to Beaufort,” Kelly said. “And it’s nice for our specialists to see our patients in Varnville without having to come all the way out here and disrupt their schedule. I would love to see more of it.”

For Robinson and his wife, the telemedicine option has been a godsend.

A resident of Hampton for 30-plus years, Robinson became concerned about his health when he began experiencing shortness of breath two years ago. Suspecting it was heart-related, Kelly referred him to Smalheiser in Beaufort.

After undergoing several tests, Robinson was diagnosed with congestive heart failure, a problem related to the heart muscle weakening, causing it to pump inefficiently. Symptoms can include shortness of breath and edema.

Until his condition was stabilized, Robinson had to make trips to Beaufort several weeks running.

“They didn’t want me driving, so my wife would have to take off from work every time I had an appointment with the cardiologist,” Robinson said.

“It was very inconvenient.”

Today, he sees Smalheiser every few months, often via video.

“I don’t mind the telehealth appointments at all,” Robinson said. “I can see Dr. Smalheiser’s face and he can see mine.

The cart has a stethoscope so he can hear my lungs and heart. It’s been a big help not having to ask my wife to take me to Beaufort.”

Just shorter than four minutes, the video can be seen on SCETV’s website or at BeaufortMemorial.org/TelehealthSCETV.

Former patient makes new pediatric waiting room a reality

By Marie McAden hen Beaufort Memorial Hospital (BMH) dedicated its newly renovated pediatrics waiting room last week, standing front and center was former patient Meredith Inglis, the force of nature who spearheaded a fundraising campaign to pay for the improvements.

Now a sophomore at Emory University, the 20-year-old Bluffton native was 17 when she took it upon herself to transform the third-floor space into a fun, kid-friendly room.

“It’s wild,” Inglis said. “I had no idea it would come to fruition.”

A Type 1 diabetic suffering from a rare liver disease, Inglis has been in and out of hospitals most of her teenage years. Her first hospital admission was at Beaufort Memorial where she underwent gallbladder surgery at age 15.

“I remember feeling scared,” she said. “And everything was white.”

The Mayo Clinic facilities were much the same.

She eventually ended up at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, where she was diagnosed with the chronic degenerative disease that causes severe intestinal

“Cincinnati is a huge hospital with a lot of cool, interactive features oriented to kids,” Inglis said. “It’s colorful and welcoming. Beaufort Memorial is so much smaller, but I thought we could do a lot for pediatric patients here.”

To kick off her fundraising venture, she made a public appeal to the congregation at Bluffton United Methodist Church and created “Miracle Jars” where her fellow church members could drop donations.

Over the course of a year, she collected $1,200 to purchase Pillow Pets for hospitalized children. She also enlisted art students at her school, Hilton Head Christian Academy, to paint ceiling tiles with a sea life motif to replace the standard white ones over pediatric hospital room beds.

Even as she was battling her own health issues, Inglis set her sights on the renovation of the pediatric waiting

room. With $1,500 in hand from her church congregation, she approached Beaufort Memorial Hospital Foundation Associate Vice President and Chief Development Officer Deborah Schuchmann with her plan.

“Meredith is a very sweet and bright young lady,” Schuchmann said. “She deals with a considerable amount of pain but meeting her you would never know it.”

Inglis returned from college last spring with an additional $1,500 to put toward the project. Impressed by her unwavering determination, Schuchmann put her in touch with a couple of hospital vendors she could tap for funding. Interior design firm McWaters donated new flooring and labor valued at $23,500; furniture manufacturer Steelcase gave her eight times the $3,000 she had collected for a total of $24,000.

“It is so gratifying to see philanthropy at work,” Schuchmann said. “When

Pictured (from left) are Jacque Ussery, Steelcase account manager; Linda Leggett, McWaters market president; Debbie Schuchmann, vice president of the BMH Foundation; Inglis; Maria Stock, director of BMH Pediatric Med/Surg; and Russell Baxley, BMH president & CEO. our community and business partners come together to support our hospital, important and positive things happen.”

After meeting Inglis in person, the representative from Steelcase decided to increase his initial donation.

He was so taken with her spunk, he offered to provide the same match if the hospital Foundation would provide

an additional $3,000.

“He was excited to see a young person wanting to help other young people,” Inglis said.

With donations from McWaters, Steelcase, Meredith’s church and the Foundation, there was sufficient funding to renovate not only the pediatric waiting room but a first-floor reception area and two waiting rooms

in the Keyserling Cancer Center.

“We appreciate Meredith’s vision and how it inspired others to make these projects possible,” Schuchmann said.

“It’s just amazing what she accomplished!”

are available at any stage of a serious illness, from diagnosis through illness progression.

The care typically begins while the patient is in the hospital for treatment. Massey and the nurse practitioner meet with the patient to discuss physical, psychological and spiritual concerns, advance-care planning and decision-maker preferences. Supportive care team members, including the hospital chaplain, dietitian and pharmacist, can be called in as needed.

“Palliative care provides an

added layer of support to our patients and their families,” Massey said. “We work as part of the BMH medical team to ensure patients have a good understanding of their illness, provide them with emotional and spiritual support and connect them with out-patient community resources to help them maintain the best quality of life possible.”

Duke Endowment grant helps fund Beaufort Memorial’s new Palliative Care Program

By Marie McAden The Duke Endowment has awarded Beaufort Memorial Hospital (BMH) a grant to help pay for supportive care for patients living with life-threatening illness.

The hospital will receive $375,000 over three years for its Palliative Care Program, designed to improve the quality of life of patients suffering from incurable or chronic medical conditions like cancer, congestive heart failure, multiple sclerosis, HIV/AIDS, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease.

“Receiving the grant from the Duke Endowment was a game-changer,” BMH Chief Medical Officer Dr. Kurt Gambla said. “It allowed us to implement the program, helping fill a big gaping hole in the array of services we provide.”

JANUARY 16 - 22, 2020

Based in Charlotte and established in 1924 by industrialist and philanthropist James B. Duke, The Duke Endowment is a private foundation whose mission is to strengthen communities in North Carolina and South Carolina by nurturing children, promoting health, educating minds and enriching spirits. Since its founding, it has distributed more than $3.7 billion in grants, and while the Endowment shares a name with Duke University and Duke Energy, all are separate organizations.

BMH launched the Palliative Care Program in August in partnership with SC House Calls, a network of South Carolina medical professionals that brings home-based care directly to the patient.

The physician service is pro-

viding BMH with a nurse practitioner and medical director to work with Beaufort Memorial’s Jennifer Massey, a licensed social worker and manager of the program.

In its first five months, the program provided services to nearly 250 patients, far exceeding expectations.

“It’s not just about symptom management,” Massey said. “We look at the whole person and the patient’s specific needs. We work with the patient, their caregivers and family to help patient’s match their treatment options with their own personal goals for care.”

In addition to improving the quality of life of the patient, palliative care has been shown to offer cost-saving benefits by reducing readmissions to the hospital.

Patients can be referred to the program by the doctor treating them at BMH, their primary care physician, nurse, care coordinator or through a screening process that helps identify candidates when they are admitted to the hospital.

Approval of the patient’s attending physician must be obtained before palliative care can be initiated.

Although palliative care can be provided to patients of any age, Beaufort Memorial is focusing on its adult population.

Did George Washington Exist?

Jesus as a Historical Figure

We know with certainty that George Washington existed.

Even though we were not alive over two hundred years ago to see him with our own eyes, there is no doubt that Washington is a historical figure. We can read his writings, view his portraits, and visit his estate at Mount Vernon. But even if he had not left behind such items, we could still know of his existence due to the testimony of his contemporaries and by his impact on history.

Similarly, we know with certainty that Jesus existed.

We were not alive two thousand years ago to experience his ministry or hear his preaching, but there is no doubt that Jesus is a historical figure. Unlike our first president, Jesus did not leave behind letters or a number of personal belongings. But we can still be certain of his existence, thanks to the testimony of his contemporaries and his tremendous impact on history.

FROM FISHING TO FOOTBALL, THE HARD WORK OF ALL ATHLETES DESERVES RECOGNITION

Whale Branch finishes sweep of crosstown rivals

By Justin Jarrett LowcoSports.com Even with a comfortable lead in the waning minutes of a game his Whale Branch boys had mostly controlled from the tip, Warriors coach Jim Raymond called a timeout early in the fourth quarter and lit into his team.

Whale Branch's coach Jim Raymond

Whale Branch's Shawn Chisolm

BASKETBALL ROUND UP

GIRLS Eagles' effort impresses in tough road loss

in the third quarter. Janiya Ferebee chipped in seven points and Kenzie Ryan added six for HHIHS. Starr Reed led the Dolphins with eight points.

Beaufort High’s girls turned in one of their best efforts of the season but came up just short on the road, falling 61-54 to Wade Hampton on Saturday.

Layla Warren scored 22 points to lead the Eagles.

“It was a loss, but it was the best game of the year for us,” Beaufort coach Reggie Jones said. “Great energy going into region play.”

Cougars' defense frustrates Warriors

Whale Branch’s girls had a tough time solving Colleton County’s defense in a 32-25 home loss Saturday.

Kynew Barnwell scored eight points and Zhani Thompson added seven to lead the Warriors.

Omari Kirkland scored 11 points to lead the Cougars.

Seahawks hold off Dolphins for 5th straight win

Hilton Head High’s girls ran their winning streak to five games with a 39-34 road win over Battery Creek on Wednesday, avenging a home loss to the Dolphins last month.

Miley Ray led the Seahawks with 18 points, including three 3-pointers

Bobcats beat Dolphins for 9th straight win

Bluffton’s girls ran their winning streak to nine games with a convincing 58-22 win over visiting Battery Creek on Tuesday.

The Bobcats had three players in double figures, as Tatyana Aiken led the way with 15 points, Samari Mitchell added 14, and Tacoya Heyward had 13.

HHCA blows by previously unbeaten BA

Hilton Head Christian Academy jumped out to a 16-point first quarter lead and never looked back, cruising to a 65-35 win at Beaufort Academy to open region play with an impressive win.

Dior Shelton notched a team-high 26 points for HHCA, whose defense shut down BA star Amelia Huebel, holding her to just three points.

Jasmine Campbell contributed 15 points, Brielle McCarthy added 10, and Skylar Smith had nine for HHCA. Mike’Ala Washington scored 16 points to lead BA.

No, the defensive lapses weren’t going to cost the Warriors this game — they cruised to an 86-63 win to sweep the season series from crosstown rival Beaufort High — but if they don’t clean them up, Raymond knows it will come back to haunt them in the playoffs.

“I want to keep challenging them,” said Raymond, whose team is ranked fourth in Class 2A. “I don’t want to be complacent.”

The Warriors were anything but complacent early on.

Wofford signee Nick Pringle juiced up the gym with an early dunk and piled up 27 points, many of them coming because Beaufort couldn’t keep the 6-8 star off the boards.

The Eagles also had trouble with Shawn Chisolm, who put up 16 points and sparked the Warriors with 10 points in the second quarter alone to help Whale Branch extend a twopoint advantage after the first quarter to a 38-23 halftime lead.

Oliver Holmes poured in 21 points to keep the Eagles within arm’s length for much of the game, but Pringle scored 18 of his 27 in the third quarter to help the Warriors put it out of reach.

Jamaad Rivers added 11 points, and Rush Riley had 10 for Beaufort, while Shemar Williams added 10 for Whale Branch.

BOYS Warriors rally but can't hang on vs. Cougars

Whale Branch’s boys rallied from a 12-point halftime deficit to regain the lead but couldn’t hang on in a 54-50 defeat at Colleton County on Saturday.

Shemar Williams scored 15 points, Nick Pringle added 12, and Shawn Chisolm had 11 for the Warriors.

Alex Sherrill scored 21 points and Stephan Gadson added 15 to lead the Cougars.

“They shot the ball very well and attacked the basket,” Warriors coach Jim Raymond said. “We were not ready for that, and their defense created problems. They played with a lot of energy.”

Red-hot Wade Hampton too much for Eagles

Beaufort High’s boys were no match for the No. 3 team in Class 3A, falling 95-57 to a red-hot Wade Hampton squad on the road Saturday.

Oliver Holmes scored 14 points, Jamaad Rivers added 12, and Ben VanHise and Daniel Phares each had 10 to lead the Eagles, but the Red Devils buried nine 3-pointers and rolled to the convincing win.

With the win, the Warriors completed a sweep of both of their major crosstown rivals — Battery Creek and Beaufort High.

“To be able to win the mythical Beaufort city championship is always great, especially when you’re just little old Whale Branch,” Raymond said.

Warriors’ Mack beats her alma mater again

The Whale Branch girls finished off a season sweep of crosstown rival Beaufort High with a 45-22 home win Friday.

Kynew Barnwell poured in 19 points and Zhani Thompson added 10 to lead the Warriors, who locked down the Eagles on defense.

Layla Warren scored 12 points to lead Beaufort, which did not reach double digits in any quarter and was limited to one point in the fourth quarter.

The season sweep for the Warriors evens second-year Whale Branch coach LaToya Mack’s record against the school where she starred at 2-2.

“Last year, after losing to them, I promised myself it wasn’t going to happen again,” Mack said. “I love Beaufort High, that’s my alma mater, but right now it’s about business.”

Creek can't keep up with Red Devils

Battery Creek’s boys dropped their region opener on the road Friday, falling 63-36 to third-ranked Wade Hampton.

Amoni Waring scored 10 points to lead the Dolpins.

Summa leads Seahawks past Dolphins

Hilton Head High’s boys took control in the second half to claim a 52-41 win at Battery Creek on Wednesday.

Sam Summa scored 17 points and Gaston Moore added 11 to lead the Seahawks.

Amoni Waring had 14 and Jordan Rivers added 13 for the Dolphins.

Hargrove, HHCA hang on vs. BA

Hilton Head Christian Academy’s boys held on for a hard-fought 44-38 win at Beaufort Academy to open region play Tuesday night.

Floyd Hargrove scored 11 of his game-high 18 points in the fourth quarter, as both teams matched their point total from the first three quarters combined. Andrew Helms added eight points for HHCA. HHCA maintained a four-point lead at halftime and through three quarters as both teams struggled to find an offensive rhythm. Both caught fire in a high-scoring fourth

Dolphins, Wilson part ways

By Justin Jarrett LowcoSports.com Battery Creek has parted ways with football coach Walt Wilson after three seasons, the school confirmed Thursday.

Athletics director Sarah Hayes said offensive coordinator Cameron Bolton has been named the Dolphins’ interim head coach, and a search for Wilson’s permanent replacement will begin immediately.

“We would like to thank Coach Wilson for his dedication to our student-athletes not only on the football field, but also for his tireless efforts to ensure our student-athletes had opportunities to play at the next level,” Hayes said.

Wilson was named the LowcoSports Coach of the Year after leading the Dolphins to a 4-6 season and a No. 3 playoff seed in his first year at the helm in 2017, but his young team struggled to a 2-9 mark a year later and finished 3-6 this season. Battery Creek has lost in the first round of the playoffs each of the past three seasons.

Wilson met with his team Wednesday to share the news that he would not return. Hayes said the school will consider both internal and external candidates and hopes to make a hire by the end of February.

quarter, but Hargrove was able to lift HHCA to the victory.

Dawson Coleman scored 16 points, and Elijah Fess added 12 — on four 3-pointers — to lead BA.

Bobcats shut down Dolphins for home win

Bluffton’s boys used a red-hot start and a strong defensive effort to roll to a 52-29 home win over Battery Creek on Tuesday.

Tyler Rice poured in 18 points, Lee Kirkland added nine, and Jatelvayn Mosley and Eric Eastham contributed seven apiece to lead the Bobcats.

Bluffton led 20-7 after one quarter and 27-9 at halftime, and the Bobcats’ solid defense kept the Dolphins from closing the gap.

Jaeon Allen led Battery Creek with eight points.

Warriors avenge earlier loss to Wade Hampton

The Whale Branch boys picked up their first home victory of 2020, defeating visiting Wade Hampton 6251 on Tuesday.

The Warriors suffered a 48-43 loss at Wade Hampton on Dec. 10, but they were in command of the rematch.

Nick Pringle recorded a teamhigh 21 points to lead the Warriors, while Diontre McVay (14) and Javon Hogue (12) also were in double figures.

Board of Education approves architects for referendum-funded projects

The Beaufort County Board of Education, on Tuesday, Jan. 7, approved contract negotiations with architects for referendum projects scheduled for next summer.

Once contract negotiations are complete, the four architectural firms

Beaufort’s Nix graduates from Troy

Beaufort’s Taylor Nix graduated from Troy University during the Fall Semester/Term 2 of the 2019/2020 academic year. Nix graduated with the Associate of Science in General Education degree.

Troy University is a public, historic, international university located in Troy, Ala., with 22,500 students and 154,000 alumni.

will be assigned specific referendum-funded projects related to safety/security, technology upgrades, playground improvements at one school and athletic facilities improvements at another.

Robert Oetting, the school district’s Chief Operations Officer, said summer referendum projects would be spread over the next four to five years, starting with 11 schools in summer 2020: Beaufort Elementary, Bluffton Elementary, Hilton Head Island Elementary, Whale Branch Elementary, H.E. McCracken Middle, La-

dy’s Island Middle, Whale Branch Middle, Right Choices and Beaufort High.

Athletic facilities at Whale Branch Early College High School also will get an upgrade over the summer, while playground facilities will be improved at St. Helena Early Childhood Center.

Oetting said most summer referendum projects will occur at schools already scheduled to be closed for other large projects such as schoolwide painting or heating and air-conditioning upgrades. The summer projects and accompanying school closures will be

spread across the district, and across grade levels, to allow summer school programs to be operated in all areas of the county.

Architectural firms competed for the Summer 2020 referendum work by submitting proposals. Five finalists were interviewed on Nov. 26, and their proposals were independently evaluated and scored by a panel of five reviewers: two school principals, one community member with expertise in facilities design and construction, one district staff member from the Division of Instructional Ser-

vices and one district staff member from the Office of Facilities, Planning and Construction.

Following the interviews, the five-member review panel independently scored the finalists as part of a process that led to the final selections.

The competing firms were scored based on numerous criteria that included such areas as past performance, personnel qualifications, demonstrated ability to complete projects on time and on budget, and related experience on similar projects.

I

t’s Friday, Dec. 27, 2019, and Susan and I are at the Graduate Hotel in Richmond, Va. Tomorrow morning we will rise, breakfast on bagels, then drive 50 miles to King George, Va., where Gail Wertz and Andy Ball own and operate two farms.

They raise Black Angus cattle on these two farms and live in a historic house that overlooks the Rappahannock River. We’ve been to their place once before.

Many years ago, I was employed at Baylor Medical School in Houston. My father was trying to get me interested in medicine and arranged for me to work in a lab where I removed spleens from living mice. I would irradiate one-half of the spleen, and that half would soon die — the object was to see how much spleen I could kill before the spleen lost its

regenerative ability.

There were other undergraduates working at Baylor in the summer of 1965, and one of those people was Gail.

She was a Biology major at William and Mary and she had some actual understanding of RNA and DNA and what we might learn from this experiment. She often helped me with my “surgery,” usually we ate our lunch together and I was astounded that this young coed found me interesting on any level.

As we worked, blood-speckled in our lab coats, the Baylor

medical students would show up pretending they wanted to help — but the only thing they wanted was Gail’s telephone number. This onslaught of male medical students started at 10 in the morning and continued until 5 in the evening.

In between these unannounced arrivals, we would talk about which of these men was interesting, who deserved a date and who did not deserve a second look. When she “accepted” an invitation, I was often part of the deal. Not an ideal situation for the medical student, but Gail would usually insist.

It was a spectacular summer that involved road trips to the Gulf, Houston’s Alley Theatre and drinking Lone Star Beer in a variety cowboy-themed venues. I cannot deny that I was smitten, but I knew that she looked upon me as a friend — a good friend

— and if those were the terms of our relationship, well, I was willing to accept those terms.

At the end of the summer she returned to William and Mary and I went back to The Citadel. Notwithstanding a distance of 500 miles, our friendship continued, and in a rash moment I put her photograph on my desk. Thirty seconds later a cadet walked into my room, stopped in his tracks, and said, “She cannot be your girlfriend.”

“No,” I replied. “I mean yes.

Yes, we’re friends …”

“You must be kidding, Graber, nobody is just ‘friends’ with a face like that.”

At that moment I was a junior, and cadet in question was a senior holding rank and sway in India Company.

“I think we should bring her down for the Miss Citadel contest,” he said.

“I’m not sure she will be

interested,” I countered.

“Let’s give her a reason to be interested.”

As I have repeatedly written (in these pages), I was not much of a cadet; nor an athlete; nor did I have (for most of my time) any rank.

But when Gail decided to be I Company’s representative in the pageant my stock rose like an Atlas missile.

Although Gail did not win the title, every cadet in India fell in love with her. And I’m sure that this connection with Gail was a big factor in the rebuilding of my self-esteem; and the acquisition of some much-needed status.

Eventually I lost touch with Gail. I knew she got her doctorate in molecular biology but didn’t know she enjoyed 36 years of continuous funding from the National Institutes of Health, winning the prestigious MERIT

award. Nor did I know that her laboratory developed the methodology for genetically engineering RNA-based viruses — work that was the basis for the successful Ebola vaccine.

Several years ago I got an e-mail which read, “Once, long ago, I knew a boy at Baylor, in Houston, Texas. He answered to the name of Scott Graber.

Would that be you?”

“I am an old man, and regrettably my memory has faded these last few years,” I said in reply, “I’m sorry to say that I don’t remember a ‘Dr. Gail Wertz.’ … I do, however, remember a dark-eyed, darkhaired goddess who once taught me everything about small animal splenectomy.

Would that be you?”

The wedding questionnaire – getting down to the important questions

D

uring the Christmas season, there are numerous advertisements for engagement rings.

This is a time when many couples get engaged, either on Christmas Day or on New Year’s Eve, so the jewelry stores are full of beautiful rings for couples to choose.

After Christmas, the newspaper and magazine ads go from engagement to marriage. There are also endless articles like “How to pick the right wedding dress,” “The best venues for wedding receptions,” or “The right flowers for your special day.”

My favorite articles are the

Now what?

highlighting daily life observations

ones that ask, “The ring is on your finger, but is HE the right one for you?”

Let’s face it, in a society where many marriages end in divorce, it is a good question to ask. And the women are normally the ones buying

these magazines and taking all the quizzes.

Here are some of the questions I read in a couple of bridal magazines recently. (No, I did not buy them. They were at my hairdresser’s salon.)

“Do you feel cherished?”

“Does he respect your privacy?”

“Does he encourage you?”

Now these are wonderful questions to ponder, but let’s get down to the important questions.

“Does your family like him?”

This to me is a loaded question, because maybe your family does like him, but you don’t like your family.

“Does he cook?”

I am not talking about throwing a slab of beef on the grill and smothering it with barbecue sauce. (Although personally I love that my spouse can do that.)

I am talking about coming home to a cooked meal. For a woman who has absolutely no desire to cook, getting a guy who owns his own cookbooks is essential.

“Does he pick up after himself?”

For a woman who is also a slob, this trait may be part of your compatibility. If you are making enough money, you can always hire a housekeep-

er. Or maybe you do not care about the mess.

“Is he a sports fanatic?”

If he likes all the same teams you like, he may be a lifetime partner.

Oh, there are other practical questions like: “Is he financially responsible?”

“Does he want children or not?”

And “What are his religious beliefs?”

But one of my favorites is, “Does he think you are beautiful?”

This is a big one because the problem with dating is that for the most part, everyone

is on their best behavior. But when your boyfriend stops at your house when you have the flu, hands you some chicken noodle soup, and tells you how beautiful you are in your old bathrobe and that clip in your hair. That is a man who understands beauty and compassion.

This is a guy who will not care about the dress, only that you are in it.
