We’ve Been Expecting You The community of Beaufort is growing in numbers. According to the Census Bureau, in 2008 the median population was 11,755. Today, Beaufort’s estimated population is around 14,000 and the whole of Beaufort County is in excess of 150,000 today. Not only is the town building new homes, we are filling these new homes! The town is not only attractive to locals, but to day-trippers as well. The state of South Carolina is home to almost five million residents, many of whom we welcome for weekend stays. This state is bordered in the north by North Carolina, where it is as short as a three hour drive to reach Beaufort. Georgia, on the western border is less than an hour drive and for adventurous sunshine state residents, Florida is as short as a two hour drive into Beaufort. Why might this information be important? Well, we’ve been expecting you! We want you to hop in your car and head on downtown. Whether coming for a simple day trip or a weekend getaway, you are a welcome and cherished guest. The Beaufortonians of southern coastal Carolina will show you hospitality sweeter than sweet tea. There is no better time to find yourself dining in Beaufort by the Atlantic Sea.

You will be enchanted... By the sun as it sets. You will marvel at the artistic displays in storefront windows. You will find out why Beaufort is adored as a place to retire. You will be filled with Lowcountry tastes. You will watch people walk with a bounce in their step, and you may just follow their lead. Moreover, with the entire Beaufort experience, you will be pleased. Beaufortonians are united as a tight knit community. These are people who take pride in their culture, their dress and their flare. They are a bunch who wear bows on their purses and jeweled clips in their hair. Most do not mind if you pleasantly stare.

Who doesn’t think about turkey, stuffing, and pumpkin pie, a lazy weekend, and a visit from the mother-in-law when Thanksgiving is around the corner? With all of the triumphs, as well as tragedies, we have seen in the world this past year, maybe this year is a good time to go back to the roots of Thanksgiving and cherish what thanksgiving actually stands for, “giving thanks”! For thousands of years, many different cultures have celebrated a harvest feast to thank their gods for providing the food and materials needed for survival. Often it was the god of corn or the god of all vegetation that was given special thanks during the autumn harvest season. The Egyptians thanked their god Min, the ancient Greeks thanked their goddess Demeter, and the Romans thanked their goddess Ceres, while the Chinese celebrated a 3-day long festival honoring the birthday of the moon, and the Hebrews celebrated Sukkoth, an eight-day long harvest festival. Regardless of these cultures’ differences in their beliefs in gods, all had some things in common, giving thanks through big feasts, parades, and celebrations. When the first settlers came to the New World in 1620, the thanksgiving tradition as we know it today was born. After a harsh first year
that the Pilgrims would not have survived without the help of the Native Indians, the first harvest was brought in. To celebrate this first harvest, their accomplishments in building houses, and the peacekeeping efforts with the Native Americans, the Pilgrim’s Governor William Bradford, proclaimed a day of thanksgiving. Although the exact day of their first celebrations is unknown, it is known that it was some day in mid-October. During the Pilgrim’s third year in the New World, Governor Bradford declared November 29th as the day of thanksgiving. And although the custom of celebrating an annual thanksgiving day was continued throughout the years, it was not until 1863 that President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed the first national Thanksgiving Day on the last Thursday of November. This year, President Obama will proclaim yet another Thanksgiving Day on November 24. This year, take a minute and thank those people out there who make your life easier every day, who love and cry with you, and those who are just there for you. Celebrate life and all the blessings in this world and celebrate the family and friends who help make this world a better place. Give a smile and give a “thanks”.

Creating and embracing a sense of community is an important aspect in my line of work. I might not have as great a feeling of accomplishment without the collaboration of our community, and the dedication of the Sea Island Scene Design Team and Contributors. The 2010 year has been a productive one for our staff. The improvement in graphic quality along with the immense growth in readership has kept us as a primary referral source for places to dine, shop and sight see for thousands of visitors, seasonal residents and locals. With the use of Facebook and the internet, we have been able to reach families across the United States and urge them to visit the Beaufort area for their next excursion.
Traditions run thick in the Lowcountry and the Thanksgiving holiday is not one to be taken lightly. Thanksgiving is a reverence of heritage, where people of different cultures and religious beliefs come together to do just that, be together! Thanksgiving is a day to re-open that place in our hearts where faded memories of life’s blessings are tucked away. This celebration of the first harvest is what brings us all together to delight our taste buds and plan for the holidays ahead. The day after Thanksgiving is referred to as the busiest day of the year for plumbers. Keep this in mind while stuffing your leftovers down the drain. On page 27 we are providing you with a host of ideas for using your leftovers. Directly following Thanksgiving is when a month-long marathon of shopping really kicks off. The downtown Beaufort area has some fantastic stores with unique gifts for children and adults of all ages. When filling out your shopping list, don’t forget to include Bay Street Jewelers to your list. One of the most reputable jewelers in Beaufort, Mark Stokes, along with wife Teri and their expert staff will assist you with finding the most exquisite personalized gift for that someone special. Other sure to please stops include The Craftseller and Lipsitz Shoes (see more about Lipsitz on page 10 and 19). The Craftseller boasts of some of the most eye catching art pieces crafted by American Artisans. One trip to The Craftseller will inspire you and delight your senses. This holiday season the staff of Sea Island Scene would like to extend a special thanks to those who have helped us along our journey. We pride ourselves as being one of the most read publications for the Beaufort area and strive to continue providing excellent service and an excellent representation of our beautiful coastal community.
Sea Island Scene Editor Thanksgiving Day comes, by statute, once a year; to the honest man it comes as frequently as the heart of gratitude will allow. ~Edward Sandford Martin

The Lipsitz family has made its name prominent in the Beaufort community with generations of family operated businesses on Bay Street in Historic Downtown Beaufort. In 1902 Lipsitz Department Store was opened by Max Lipsitz. After World War II Max’s son Joseph Lipsitz and his sister Ethel Rabinowitz took over. Ethel retired in the 1970’s, Joe and his wife Lucille operated the store along with long time employees Effie Martin and Aline Moore. In 1985, Neil Lipsitz took over the business and on July 5, 1998 Neil built a separate shoe store across the street from the Lipsitz Department Store. Lipsitz Shoes continues to be a family business. Today, Neil Lipsitz carries the family tradition with quality shoes from around the world. Brands include Ecco, Mephisto, SAS, Merrill, Stride Rite, New Balance and many more. Neil, along with his employee of the year, Ebony Hills, and the rest of the staff are sure to satisfy your foot wear needs. Be sure to visit Lipsitz Shoes, as well as Lipsitz Department Store, and say hello to one of Beaufort’s retail legacies!

Each year on November 11 Americans observe Veteran’s Day. This day was set aside so that we can honor those who have served or are currently serving our country. Veterans Day, formerly known as Armistice Day, began on November 11, 1918 when the Germans signed an Armistice and a cease-fire order ended the Great War. In 1927, President Calvin Coolidge was given a resolution from Congress to issue a proclamation for officials to display the American Flag on government buildings on November 11th. The proclamation also invited the public to observe the day in schools and churches. It wasn’t until 1938 that Congress passed a bill that each November 11 will be dedicated to the cause of world peace. Later that year, President Franklin Roosevelt signed a bill making November 11 a legal holiday in the District of Columbia. After World War II, the significance of the holiday changed dramatically. It once was a day when Americans celebrated an armistice with Germany. Leaders of Veterans’ groups wanted to make November 11 a day to honor Veterans who had fought in all America’s wars, not just World War I. On May 24, 1954 an Act of Congress officially changed the name to Veterans’ Day.
Each year Veterans Day is commemorated across the United States. Parades are staged, remembrance ceremonies are held at churches and schools. The President of the United States lays a wreath at the To m b o f t h e U n k n o w n s i n A r l i n g t o n National Cemetery, Virginia. He then addresses veterans and their families who are assembled in the adjoining amphitheater where he thanks them on behalf of a grateful nation. In his Veterans Day address at Arlington National Cemetery in 1985, President Ronald Reagan said this about young Americans who have died defending our nation: “They gave up everything for us. All we can do is remember.” This year, take a moment to reflect on Veterans Day. Remember the sacrifices our soldiers, airmen, sailors and marines have made and are making today to protect us and our freedoms. Let us not forget the ultimate sacrifice given by so many of these brave souls. Go for forth with good cheer and stout hearts, and don’t forget to thank a veteran. Happy Veterans Day.

In August, 2010, the contents of Beaufort’s City Hall, 302 Carteret Street, were moved to the newly constructed City Hall at Boundary Street, facing Ribaut Road, once known as Port Royal Road. The story of Beaufort’s City and Town Halls is a confused tale which has yet to be fully told. In 1975, this historian wrote on the subject in The Beaufort Gazette in an article with the title “Beaufort City Hall was Once County Library,” in which I attempted to clear up some of the confusion. The article even had a photo of the upper portion of the entrance which had the sculptured inscription “City Hall.” The building still stands at the corner of Carteret and Craven Streets. The photo, also by this writer, was captioned “Was Once a Library. The lamp of wisdom was sculptured above the City Hall
entrance and serves as a reminder that the building was once the County Library.” In her book “Beaufort, South Carolina A History,” (2005) , Alexia Jones Helsley wrote “The City of Beaufort erected civic buildings in 1911. The new City Hall and Municipal Meat Market replaced the market that had once occupied the corner of Craven and Carteret Street.” The same volume also had a photo of “The post office, built in 1917 at 302 Carteret Street, replaced an earlier structure on Bay Street.” That building was the Beaufort City Hall, which was abandoned as such in August, 2010 for its new structure near the intersection of Boundary Street and Ribaut Road. The corner stone, on the lower southwest part of the building reads “William G. McAdoo/ Secretary of the Treasury/ James A. Wetmore/ Acting Supervising Architect/ 1917.” Then again, at some time in the 1960s, city offices were located on Craven Street, opposite The Arsenal. Those city offices are now part of the Beaufort Public Children’s Library. Talk about confusion!

Once Thanksgiving has come and gone, we hit the turkey-and-stuffing wall long before the leftovers are eaten. But you can give new life to your surplus by reincarnating the turkey and sides in these decidedly un-Thanksgiving recipes. We even have a couple of cocktails that use the dregs of the cranberry sauce, which always seems to be the last Tupperware in the fridge. And for even more recipes, check out these 10 ideas from chefs. 1. Basic Turkey Stock. If the big day left you in a food coma, then you’re probably not enticed to do much beyond clicking the remote. This stock recipe requires minimal effort and makes eight quarts, perfect for freezing and using later. 2. Turkey Pot Pie. Pot pie is a common way to use up turkey, but subpar versions are often chalky, gummy, and bland. Ours starts things off right with Creamed Turkey that’s good enough to eat on its own; then you pack it with vegetables, and top it with storebought crust to avoid dough-making headaches. 3. Curried Turkey Salad. Another throwback recipe that we improved upon, this salad has tartness from yogurt, sweetness from raisins, and crunch from shards of toasted coconut. It takes a minimum of effort and will renew your interest in bird leftovers. 4. Crispy Turkey Enchiladas. These realdeal enchiladas are spicy and flavorful. Though they are more commonly made with pork or chicken, we swapped in turkey and doused it all in a Red Chile Sauce that’s great to snack on with chips.
5. Turkey Posole a la Guerita. Posole is one of those slowcooked dishes that result in a beautiful meld of flavors. Figuring that you won’t want to be slaving away with your leftovers after having just orchestrated the big meal, we came up with a shortcut version we coined a la Guerita, a.k.a. whitegirl style. 6. Turkey Mulligatawny Soup. This rich, heady soup is laced with spices and coconut milk. 7. Turkey Pad See Ew. The Thai noodle dish pad see ew is usually made with anything from beef to pork to chicken. We filled ours with turkey and won thumbs-up from pad see ew–obsessed Multimedia Producer Meredith Arthur. 8. Stuffing-Stuffed Mushrooms. These give stuffing a second life and make for quick hors d’oeuvres when unexpected company comes knocking. 9. Pecan and Sweet Potato Bread. Throw together this quick bread that does duty as a snack, a breakfast treat, or even dessert when toasted and served à la mode. 10. Peninsular War and Cranberry Culprit. All self-respecting cranberry sauces are sweet, tart, and fruity, and that also works as a fabulous foundation for cocktails. Try the flavor combo shaken with Cognac and Licor 43 or mixed with bourbon and amaretto.
