he “hot days of ending summer” are upon us again, and from store to shore the people of the Sea Islands soldier on. Where for some countries August is a time of holiday when few work and the few who must do as little as is necessary, stateside (and specifically here in the Lowcountry) things, much like the people, continue on, and we of these islands continue doing the work that must be done. Even in the heat that makes one fear the short walk from car to home without A/C. Even in that 100+ degree heat we’ve closed another round of our local festivals and our kids, sweaty from the summer play, have enjoyed their time away from pencils and books. The heat will carry on for a bit more, through and past this month and into the next, and so will the mosquitoes, and the humidity probably isn’t going anywhere anytime soon either. But still, summer is ending nonetheless, and with football training camp starting up and the kids going back to school it’s time to wrap up a few important things before the days are more directly occupied with how the Gamecocks* are doing or Junior’s report card. Enjoy these last few trips to the beach with your loved ones, build castles made of sand with the kids and watch them fall into the sea, eventually. Polish off your summer reading list with our own Pat Conroy’s My Losing Season or Faulkner’s A Light in August. Though there isn’t much in the way of national holidays this month, celebrate family. Celebrate community. Celebrate life. Enjoy the moments.

Town of Port Royal
The town takes pride in its unique natural environment and its accessibility to that environment through its network of walking trails, community beach, boardwalk, and observation tower. Since Columbus discovered America in 1492, seven flags have flown over what is now the Town of Port Royal.
Union Church The Union Church, also known as, “The Free Church” was the first church to be built in the historic town of Port Royal. The land was donated by David F. Appleton and in 1878 cost around $1000 to build. It is currently eligible for recognition in the National Register of Historic Places and is being renovated jointly by both the Town of Port Royal and the Historic Port Royal Foundation. These two groups plan to use the renovated building as a cultural and community center.
Boardwalk Observation Tower At Port Royal Sands Beach you will find a waterside boardwalk leading to an observation tower. This tower provides fantastic views of Port Royal, Parris Island and the surrounding area. For tourists, this is a must see, is free to access and open year-round.

Looking for something new and fun to do with your kids at the beach? Here are some suggestions that will be enjoyed by young and old alike. 1. Tic-tac-toe. Draw a big square in the sand. Find some shells or use extra sand to make an X or an O and have a tic-tac-toe contest.
line can grab a handful of water and race to the bucket and so on until the bucket is filled. The first team to fill the bucket wins!
2. Hand ball. Use a soft plastic ball roughly the size of a volleyball. Draw a large square in the sand, and divide the square into two, cutting a line down the center. One person starts by serving the ball with her hand, and the ball must cross over the line and hit the other person’s square. Once the ball bounces up, the receiving person must hit the ball back to the other person’s square. Works best on packed sand.
6. Beach darts. A large circle drawn in the sand serves as the target. Draw one large circle as the outside of the target area. For extra complexity, add smaller circles inside, with varying points assigned to each ring. Each player needs his own rock, seashell or other item. Having each person choose a different type of material makes it easier to keep track. The players take turns tossing the objects toward the target to score.
3. Treasure hunt. Bury a few items in the sand and give some clues about where to find them. Let the kids be treasure hunters.
7. Beach golf. You need a set of plastic clubs and golf balls. For putting, consider going down near the wet part of the beach where the ocean waves meet the soft sand. Dig the holes and swing away.
4. Beach bowling. Bring extra plastic cups and a ball to use for bowling when you visit the beach. Have your child fill the plastic cups with wet sand to weigh them down and arrange the cups in a triangle. Mark a line in the sand for the starting point and encourage your child to roll the ball toward the “pins” without crossing the line. You may also form pins by packing moist sand into the cups, turning the cups over and carefully pulling them upward. The result will be sand in the shape of the cup.
8. Wave racing. This may be a familiar game when it comes to beach games for kids. Line up at a safe spot in the ocean where the waves start to come in and race to be the first to hit the beach. 9. Sand writing and drawing. Using play tools can be helpful in order to create pictures or writing your name.
10. Squirt ball. This beach game for kids is similar to a carnival game as 5. Bucket relay. Split up into two teams (adults can join in too! Just be sure water guns are required. You need two people with water guns completely there are an even number of adults on both sides and the little kids and bigger filled. Draw goal lines in the sand behind each team and place a beach ball in kids are split up evenly on each team to make it fair). Have each team form a the center of the lines. Each team tries to squirt the beach ball across the other line by the shore.Set up 2 small same size buckets about 10 feet from the team’s goal line, keeping the ball away from their own goal line and without water’s edge. The object of the game is for each team to carry the water in their 10then | Tell Them You Saw inhands SeaorIsland Scene | June 2015 usingItany feet. bare hands to the bucket.

Catfish Gumbo 1 lb catfish fillets, cut into 1" pieces 1/4 cup vegetable oil 1/2 cup celery, chopped 1/2 cup green bell pepper chopped 1/2 cup onion, chopped 1 clove garlic, chopped 2 cups water 2 cups beef bouillon
2 (8 ounce) cans diced tomatoes 1 (10 ounce) package frozen okra 1 cup fresh or frozen corn 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme 1 bay leaf 1/8 teaspoon Tobasco sauce
Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a 3 quart pot. Dissolve bouillon cubes in the boiling water. In a medium skillet, heat the oil and cook the celery, green pepper, onion and garlic until tender. Add the tomatoes, okra, corn and cooked vegetables to the boiling water. Season with salt, red pepper flakes, thyme, bay leaf and tobasco. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Add catfish, cover and simmer for approximately 15 minutes until catfish is flaky and tender.
Fried Catfish
Catfish Amandine
4-6 catfish fillets, about 1-2 1 teaspoon garlic powder pounds 1 teaspoon black pepper 1 cup milk or buttermilk 1 teaspoon paprika Salt 1/2 teaspoon cayenne 3/4 cup fine cornmeal 1/4 teaspoon celery seed 1/2 cup flour Oil for frying In a heavy frying pan pour enough oil to come 1/2 inch up the sides of the pan. turn the heat to medium-high. turn your oven to 200째 and lay a cookie sheet inside. Place a wire rack on top of the cookie sheet. While the oil is heating, soak the catfish in the milk or buttermilk. Mix the cornmeal, flour and spices together. Let the oil reach 350 degrees. once the oil is hot, sprinkle the catfish fillets with salt and dredge them into the breading. Shake off the excess and gently lay into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 2-4 minutes, depending on how thick the fillet is. Use a metal spatula and gently turn the fish over and cook for another 2-4 minutes. once the fish is ready, move it to the oven while you cook the rest of the catfish. Keeping the fried catfish warm in the oven will help keep it crispy.

1/3 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1/2 teaspoon thyme 1 lb catfish, cut into 4 portions 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Heat 1 tablespoon oil and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add almonds and garlic and cook until both are just beginning to brown, 1 to 3 minutes. Set aside. Combine milk and egg in a shallow dish. In another shallow dish, combine flour, salt and cayenne. Dip fish in the milk mixture, then in the flour mixture; shake off any excess flour. Heat the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add fish and cook until lightly browned and opaque in the center, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Return the almond-garlic sauce to the stove over medium heat. Add lemon juice and heat through, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour the sauce over the fish and sprinkle with parsley.
