Show puts spotlight on Gullah culture By Pamela Brownstein When CNN’s Emmy Award-winning series "United Shades of America with W. Kamau Bell" airs on Sunday, May 13, residents of Beaufort and the Sea Islands are likely to recognize many people and places. That's because the episode focuses on the Gullah Geechee people in South Carolina and features the host visiting St. Helena Island to experience the Gullah Heritage festival and learn about the culture. “For people who live in the area, they might
already know a lot of what the show talks about," Kamau said during a recent phone interview. "But most people across the country aren’t aware about the Gullah Geechee culture." He admits that he was one of those people, and even though it was his first time in the Lowcountry, his show does a quality job of authentically representing the Gullah culture through food, language, heritage — while also delving into the history of slavery and the issues that threaten the Gullah way of life today.

Turbeville Insurance hosts company-wide meeting in Beaufort Turbeville Insurance Agency (TIA) hosted a company-wide meeting in Beaufort, South Carolina on Wednesday, April 25. 53 of the company’s 59 employees initially gathered at TIA’s Beaufort location (28 Kemmerlin Lane) and later spent the afternoon in the meeting space of the brand-new St. Helena Beaufort County Library. The event was catered locally by Panini’s and is the first company-wide meeting hosted by the Beaufort location of TIA. Department heads from TIA spoke to the employees on business practices, company growth and sales trajectories. The company also celebrated the upcoming retirement of two long-term employees: Roberta MacAllister (8 years) and Dot Drake (14 years). Both MacAllister and Drake work in the processing department of the company’s Columbia location. “It was really special having the entire company visit Beaufort,” said TIA president and owner Bill Turbeville. “Since opening the Beaufort branch of Turbeville Insurance in January of 2005, Beaufort has quickly become one of our strongest offices. A few team members had never been to Beaufort before and after this visit I [jokingly] already have a few transfer requests. We always strive to support the local communities where we are located and hope this is the first of many future company-wide meetings in our low country locations.” For more information visit www.turbevilleinsurance.com.

May is Healthy Vision Month By Dr. Mark Siegel
Healthy Vision Month is observed each year in May. This is a great time to learn how vision problems can affect you and your loved ones, and what you can do to keep your eyes healthy. In 2015, approximately 12 million people in the United States had vision impairment, weakening their vision. Women, minority groups, and people with a chronic disease like diabetes are at higher risk for vision impairment. Many people think vision impairment is an unavoidable part of aging, but it doesn’t have to be. Some conditions can be easily corrected with glasses or contact lenses, and some eye diseases can be detected and treated at their very early stages. Get a comprehensive eye exam from your ophthalmologist, during which each eye is closely examined for signs of common vision problems and eye diseases. Your ophthalmologist can determine if your eyes are healthy. Schedule an eye exam, especially if it’s been some time since your last dilated eye exam. The time is now to take steps towards protecting your eyes. An Eye on the Future Here are some tips to get you started on a journey of improved life-long vision health: • Schedule a comprehensive dilated eye exam, especially if it’s been some time since your last one. • Use it or lose it: use protective eyewear or
risk losing your vision. Sunglasses, goggles, or other protective eyewear should be used during high-risk indoor activities like working in a lab or running a table saw and outdoor activities Dr. Mark Siegel like playing sports or yard work. • Talk to your family to learn about your history of eye disease. Many eye diseases are hereditary, and it is important to share your family history with your eye care professional. • Quit or never start smoking. Research has linked smoking to many eye conditions, like AMD, cataracts and glaucoma, which all can lead to blindness. • Eat a vision-healthy diet. You might have heard carrots are good for your sight. But did you know that a diet rich in leafy greens, fruits, and even fish also has eye health benefits? • Reach and maintain a healthy weight to decrease your chances not just for eye disease, but for developing other chronic conditions such as diabetes. This May, take steps towards protecting your eyes and the vision health of your loved ones by learning about your risk for eye disease. Look out for those eyes. You only get two!

W. Kamau Bell, left, talks with sweetgrass basket makers Carlene Habersham and Corey Alston in Charleston during an episode of his show "United Shades of America."
Gullah from page A1
Now in its third season, "United Shades of America with W. Kamau Bell" is an eight-episode docuseries that follows sociopolitical comedian W. Kamau Bell as he explores communities across the country, using humor to start a conversation about race and how our differences unite and divide us. Kamau said the episode about Gullah Geechee is the one he is most excited about this season. "I think it's going to open a lot of eyes," he said. The episode opens with him in front of a Praise House on St. Helena Island. "Everybody these days is talking about how divided our country is — black vs. white, Starks vs. Lanesters. So in this episode of the United Shades of America, we’re going to talk to the Gullah Geechee people of South Carolina. People who learned a long time ago that when you come together, not only do you survive, but you thrive.” He visits Penn Center and talks with familiar faces in the community such as Anita Praither-Singleton, "Aunt Pearlie Sue," who sends her message to young people to still have hope. And also Victoria Smalls about her work helping to bring the Gullah language back. He listens to traditional ring shouters, who show how music preserves and educates about the past, and even the origins of the song "Kum by ya." He meets with Michael Moore, the great-great grandson of Robert Smalls, about the significance of Gasdsen's Wharf, the future site of the Interna-
Sweet Dreams
tional African American Museum in Charleston. He goes to the 400-year-old Angel Oak on John's Island with filmmaker Julie Dash, and has a traditional Gullah Crab Crack with her family. During an interview with Gullah sweetgrass basket weavers Carlene Habersham and Corey Alston at Charleston's City Market, a woman comes up and asks Kamau how much the baskets cost. He jokes around, but when he gets the price wrong, the lady tells him, “You suck.” “That’s the difference between our show and others, we leave those moments in,” he said with a laugh, recalling the incident incredulously. Kamau said one of the most interesting things he learned while filming the episode was "the fact that the community is black because white people left, Gullah Geechee were able to keep a lot of traditions alive, and that's something that hasn’t happened for black people in other parts of the country.” The theme of this season, and this episode in particular, is to dispel the myth that black people are a monolith and they are the same across the country. "But this is a part of black American culture that most people don’t know about, the Gullah Geechee are doing it their own way. Keeping the culture and heritage alive even in the face of development," he said. He reiterates this at the end of the show: “The Gullah people prove yet again that black people are not one thing.” So tune into "United Shades of America with W. Kamau Bell" on CNN on Sunday, May 13, at 10 p.m. to see the local culture represented on the national level, and realize how fortunate we are to call this unique part of the country home.

Beaufort Airport to hold Women in Aviation Day Showing young women the many options for aviation careers and recreational flying is the objective of the Beaufort Aviation Association’s Women in Aviation Day on Saturday, May 12 at the Beaufort County Airport. Event Chair, Ivy Abercrombie, who has spent her entire adult life maintaining U.S. Air Force aircraft, said, “The number of women in aviation has historically been low, with men holding down most of the engineering, flying, maintaining, and manufacturing positions.”
“Our event, however, will show Beaufort young women that they are certainly capable and have many options to enjoy careers in the aeronautical world and experience the Magic of Flight,” she added. The Saturday event that’s open to the public from 9 a.m. - 1 p.m. will start with flybys by three planes then the participants will move as groups around several stations to listen to speakers from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Technical College of the Lowcountry, Savannah’s Gulfstream
Aerospace Corp., a former US Navy and major international airline female pilot, female Air Force C-17 mechanics and technicians, civilian flight instructors, the Air Force Civil Air Patrol, pilots with the Young Eagles introductory flight program, and others. Attendees will park at the airport terminal parking lot, pass through the lobby, and follow the signs to the event location. The airport is located on Airport Circle on Lady’s Island. For information, call or text James Atkins at 703.447.2302.
Tour highlights Old Commons Neighborhood
DOWN BY THE DAY DOCK
A tour of historic homes and gardens, historic houses of worship and cemeteries and a fish fry will be held in the Old Commons Neighborhood in the historic district Saturday, May 12th, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. “Where the Sacred and the Profane Meet” is hosted by the Old Commons Neighborhood Association and the Sons of Beaufort Lodge #36. The self-guided tour and fish fry are a fundraiser for a historic marker for the ca. 1890 lodge which the neighborhood association, Historic Beaufort Foundation, the SC Dept. of Archives and History and the Masonic group restored in 2008. Tickets are available for both events or individually. Twelve sites in this downtown neighborhood bounded by Carteret, Craven, Charles and Boundary Streets will be open. Used as common grazing grounds in the 18th and early 19th century and owned by Beaufort College, the neighborhood represents a physical and historical cross-section of the historic district. Houses range from planters’ mansions to the small homes of antebellum craftsmen and Reconstruction-era freedmen homes. There are five historic houses of worship in the neighborhood as well as cemeteries and gardens. There will also be a silent auction of original paintings of Old Commons scenes and printmaking demonstrations at Berean Church, choral music at Wesley Methodist Church, organ music at Carteret Methodist Church and docent-led tours highlighting Jewish burial practices at Beth Israel Cemetery. Tour tickets are $20 each and fish fry tickets are $9. Tickets are available at Lulu Burgess, Good Aura, The Emporium, Olive the Above and Thibeaut Gallery; by calling 609-502-4275, emailing marytoo.mh@gmail.com, or on the day of the tour at the Sons of Beaufort Lodge, 607 West Street.

AMIkids Beaufort celebrates croquet at 27th annual Brays Island event Derius came to AMIkids Beaufort through the state’s Department of Juvenile Justice, with the goal of turning from a troubled past to a brighter future. He earned his high school diploma while at AMIkids Beaufort. He also earned certifications in welding and, after graduating from AMIkids Beaufort, he returned home with a job as a welder. It’s for troubled young men such as Derius that Brays Island and the AMIkids Beaufort Board of Directors hosts the annual Croquet Picnic. The day-long event, held this year on Saturday, May 5 at Brays Island in northwestern Beaufort County, raises funds to support the residential program that is locally governed. Immediate needs are equipping a vocational training center and continuing to push for enhanced education and behavioral programs. To raise awareness and money, the Croquet Picnic mixes good fun for a good cause, said John Harris, chairman of AMIkids Beaufort’s board of directors. “These young men are with AMIkids because they want a second chance at life,” Harris said. “Our croquet picnic fundraiser at Brays Island is our main way to provide what’s need-

ed for our local program. I am always amazed at how generous people are when we ask them to give.” Every year, Brays Island and its owners donate the golf course practice range tee in which eight 30-by-40-foot croquet courts are groomed to the finest playing conditions for the event, Harris said. “We really consider Brays Island and its residents to be our partners. We couldn’t do this without them, and it’s such a spectacular setting for croquet,” Harris said. AMIkids Beaufort is a residential facility in Dale that provides not only education but nu-

merous hands-on educational opportunities, treatment and behavior modification. AMIkids also partners with community service projects throughout Beaufort County. Male teens convicted of crimes can be assigned to AMIkids through the Department of Juvenile Justice. Students work toward their high school equivalency diplomas. For the past six years, the young men also have been able to earn welding and food preparation certifications to help them with job skills. The May 5 Croquet Picnic will be held from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Brays Island
off US 17 in Sheldon, about 15 miles west of Beaufort. A “Captain’s Party” for all participants will be held the evening of May 4 at Brantley Harvey Jr.’s historic Marshlands home in Beaufort’s National Historic Landmark District. Teams of four to eight people compete in the friendly croquet tournament, said Dr. Mike Harris, co-organizer of the AMIkids Beaufort Croquet Picnic. In recent years, teams from Sun City Hilton Head, Spring Island, Dataw Island and Brays Island, to name a few, have competed in support of AMIkids. A silent auction will be held at the Croquet Picnic. The silent auction helps raise money for the program, formerly known as Beaufort Marine Institute. Items range from hunting and fishing trips to imported cigars and golf outings to catered dinners, from custom jewelry to vacation getaways. Items created by the AMIkids Beaufort welding students will be included in the silent auction. For more information or to sign up a croquet team, call Dr. Mike Harris at 843-5243770 or Mike Ingram at 843-846-3149. To learn more about AMIkids Beaufort, visit www.amikidsbeaufort.org.

NEW Happy Hour M-F, 4-6pm!
There was a fundraiser in Beaufort recently for the Friends of Carolina Hospice. It was the 15th Annual Fashion for Compassion event and a group of friends were all going together. At the last minute, I decided to drive myself since I wanted to stop at a couple of stores on Bay Street to pick up cards and gifts. As I was walking along the Old Bay Marketplace I passed the Southern Sweets Ice Cream Parlor. Remembering they have sandwiches and I had not had supper yet, I walked in and caught a glimpse of all the ice cream flavors. The shop looks like something out of the old Ozzie and Harriet television show. One can imagine Ozzie ordering his Tutti-Frutti ice cream. As I looked at the menu of hot dogs and Reuben sandwiches, I was overcome by a sudden and real desire for a vanilla milkshake. How long had it been since I had a real vanilla milkshake? As a child I swore I would have one for dessert every night when I grew up. But adulthood took over and I learned moderation. However, that evening, I dismissed moderation and ordered up a milkshake. I listened to the sound of the milk shake mixer and noticed Cheese puffs below the cash register. Why Not! For people who know me, this is almost
sacrilegious. After all, I am a known calorie counter. My mother taught her five daughters how to track what we ate. She was big on fruits and vegetables when we were young. She would not have approved seeing her grown daughter stuffing her face with a vanilla milkshake and cheese puffs. As I was sitting there, a mother came in with her young son who looked to be around five years old. Obvious regulars, he sat up at the counter and was soon served a hot fudge sundae in one of those glass boats. It had three scoops of vanilla ice cream, some fudge sauce, nuts, whipped cream and a cherry on top. I am not sure who was having more fun eating, me or him. We both devoured our treats like we could not get them in fast enough. I finished up and noticed my orange stained fingers and the little boy’s mouth covered with chocolate syrup. We were five-years-old together for a few moments. I licked my fingers, grabbed some napkins and watched him turn back to his half-finished sundae. As I walked over to my adult function, grinning from ear to ear. I was glad to have felt like five again. Sometimes you just have to let go and enjoy yourself.

846 Sea Island Parkway | St. Helena Island, SC (843) 838-9300 | foolishfrogrestaurant.com Tips for Daily Prayer
Talking with a Friend Prayer as a conversation with God Prayer doesn’t have to be complicated. When starting a daily prayer life, one might imagine prayer as a formal and stuffy endeavor, with a lot of words like “thou” and “almighty.” But it can be as simple as a conversation with a good friend. When two friends spend time together, catching up and sharing from the heart, time seems to fly by. This is how daily prayer is meant to be.
Jesus will want to get a word in, too! Like all good conversations, you will want to make sure your time with Jesus is not one-sided. It will be important to allow time for him to speak back to you. He doesn’t usually speak in a loud voice from heaven, but rather touches our hearts in the silence and in the reading of Holy Scripture. We will explore this in our upcoming messages.
You can talk to Jesus as a friend.
You will get better at prayer as you keep practicing! Even if it is difficult at first, keep showing up to your daily prayer time. Just as fifteen minutes with a friend can pass without realizing it, the time you set aside for prayer will start to seem like it goes quickly. Jesus loves you and wants to give you his strength and peace; it’s as easy as talking with a friend!
In your daily time set aside for prayer, you can imagine Jesus sitting with you, and you can talk to him in a conversational way. For example, if your prayer time is after breakfast, you might start off, “Good morning, Lord! Here I am again. Thank you for this beautiful day you have given me, and for this strong cup of coffee! Help me to open my mind and heart to you this morning.” There’s a lot to talk about! You can talk to Jesus about whatever you wish. Tell him what’s on your mind. If you’re happy, tell him why you’re happy. If you’re worried, talk to him about what’s going on. Jesus already knows all of this, but he wants to hear you share it with him. You can say thanks, ask for help, pray for others, or ask for forgiveness. A conversation is better than a list. As you open your heart to Jesus, it is helpful to talk to the Lord about individual items rather than listing them. For example, rather than naming a bunch of things that he is thankful for, a husband could begin by first talking to Jesus about his wife: “Thank you, Lord, for Michelle. She is so caring and patient. I’m so glad that you brought her in my life. I don’t know what I’d do without her!”

COOK THE BOOK
Southern Living, the Pat Conroy Literary Center, and the Anchorage 1770 Inn are excited to announce the first Cook The Book: Sharing Recipes, Wine & Words, a special event to be held Saturday, May 19, from 4–9 p.m. at the Anchorage 1770 Inn, located at 1103 Bay Street in downtown Beaufort. The inaugural Cook the Book will be presented by renowned southern chef Cynthia Graubart, and will focus on recipes from her recent cookbook Sunday Suppers (2017). The event has three components: Cynthia will give a cooking demonstration of three recipes from Sunday Suppers assisted by Anchorage chef Byron Landis, followed by a book and apron signing with wine and appetizers on the veranda, and culminating with a four-course dinner complete with hand-selected wine pairings in the dining room. This new venture was inspired by Pat Conroy’s passion for cooking and his perennial search for a new recipe. Pat opens his 2004 cookbook with the words, “The subject of food is nearly a sacred one to me.” His lifelong passion for cooking was first ignited in 1969 and only became more intense as he grew older. Many of his readers are familiar with another quote from his cookbook, “a recipe is a story that ends with a good meal.” Cynthia Graubart is an ideal chef to launch the new Cook the Book series, which celebrates foodways, writing, and fellowship. When Pat first began cooking !
in earnest, he turned to Cynthia’s husband Cliff for guidance. It was 1969 and Pat’s first wife had appointed him family chef. He ventured to the Old New York Bookshop in Atlanta, asking for GrauCynthia Graubart bart’s help. According to Pat’s recollections, Cliff, fearing the Conroy clan demise by starvation, handed Pat an edition of Auguste Escoffier’s cookbook. And so Pat’s culinary adventures began, and he became the epicurean ‘magician’, the soup ‘sorcerer’, turning “the art of stealing recipes into both a hobby and an art.” Cynthia’s newest cookbook, Sunday Suppers extols the virtues of the Sunday supper. She says the Sunday ‘supper’ was different than the Sunday ‘dinner’, a little less formal, but always just as comforting because it’s always about family time spent at the dining table. In her preface, Cynthia explains succinctly and lovingly, “Family mealtime is heralded by educators, clergy, and grandmothers as an important part of a child’s growth and development.” Cook the Book has been selected as a Southern Living Inspired Event. Tickets are $150 and include all food and wine, and the signed cookbook and apron. Make reservations by May 15 by calling 843-525-1770. Space is limited to 40 attendees.

Story and Photo by Bob Sofaly Beaufort High School Eagle baseball team used its defense and pitching to great effect Tuesday, April 24, in defeating the Pirates of Myrtle Beach 3-1 during the first round of playoffs at BHS. “We were there today”, said BHS head coach Keith Riley. “We played really well.” Batting was different story. “We get runners in scoring position, then strike out. We left way too many runners in scoring position. We really need to work on that” he said. But his defense only allowed one earned run while committing no errors.

In Y swim programs, participants can enjoy water sports, enhance or learn new techniques, meet new friends and develop confidence, while also learning safety skills that can save lives. “Swimming is not only a fun, healthy activity, but an important life skill for all children,” said Lou Bergen, Aquatics Director, Wardle Family YMCA. “Learning basic water safety skills is a great introduction to the world of swimming that often continues with swim lessons and competitive swim programs, and can even lead to a career.” As part of National Water Safety Month in May, the Wardle Family Y encourages parents to take an active role in fostering a relationship between their children and swimming—beginning with water safety. Following are safety tips to practice when in and around the water: • Only swim when and where there is a lifeguard on duty; never swim alone. • Adults should constantly and actively watch their children. • Inexperienced or non-swimmers should wear a Coast Guard-approved life jacket. • Parents or guardians of young children should be within an arm’s reach. • Children and adults should not engage in breath holding activities. In addition to learning lifesaving
water safety skills, children can increase their physical activity by swimming. Swimming also motivates children to strive for self-improvement, teaches goal orientation and cultivates a positive mental attitude and high self-esteem. It also teaches life lessons of sport and sportsmanship, so that children can learn how to work well with teammates and coaches and how to deal with winning and losing. As a leading nonprofit committed to youth development, the Y has been a leader in providing swim lessons and water safety locally for more than 22 years. The Wardle Family Y continues to help youth and adults experience the joy and benefits of swimming, so they can be healthy, confident and secure in the water. There are a variety of programs to choose, including group swim lessons (by age), private swim lessons, BYAC Tiger Sharks swim team, water aerobics and even SCUBA lessons. To ensure that everyone has an opportunity to participate, financial assistance is available to those in need. In 2017, The Y taught over 1500 swim lessons with well over half at no cost. The Wardle Family YMCA raises funds for swim lesson scholarship assistance through its Learn To Swim Program which is funded by donations and the annual Beaufort River Swim. The 12th Annual Beaufort River Swim is Saturday, May 19, 2018. beaufortriverswim.com To learn more about the Wardle Family YMCA’s swim programs, contact Lou Bergen at 843.522.9622 or l.bergen@wardlefamilyymca.org.

Smoke gets in your eyes There are California wild fires. And there are Smoke Trees. Shame one is so horrible and the other has come to mean good wines. We travel to Sonoma County, California today. It’s interesting, that Sonoma County produces much more wine than Napa County. And more Pinot Noir than any other county in the country. There are 60,000 acres of vines planted in Sonoma County. The earliest vineyards in Sonoma date back to 1812. Padre Jose Altimira planted several thousand vines at Mission San Francisco in what is now the city of Sonoma. Cuttings from these vines were used all over northern California to start more vineyards. By the time California was annexed into the United States, in 1854, wine grapes were an established part of the region. The vineyards owned by the Mexican military governor then brought in $20,000 a year. In 1861, the California legislature commissioned a study of European viticulture and viniculture. Grape growing and winemaking. This brought a plethora of more root stocks and varieties into the Sonoma area. As well as immigrants who had lived and worked in European vineyards. As they say, the rest is history. A new piece of that history is our winery for today. And their wines. Smoke Tree. Named for these trees on the hillsides in Sonoma. They have fuzzy, puff-ball looking flowers that from a distance can look like smoke. Or fog. The purple ones are especially beautiful and can look like grape clusters. Because of their rarity and beauty, this tree’s name was chosen for these new wines. And that name also reflects the purity and uniqueness of these wines. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, grown in cool vineyards have inherent style. With no need to cover their flavors and textures with oak or sugar. Smoke Tree wines are made by Joel Burt. Who, from 2009, made the Chardonnay and Pinot Nour wines at Domaine Chandon. Excellent training! There are three Smoke Tree wines. Only. Smoke Tree Chardonnay is a fresh and clean Chard. It is a blend of some older clones and some younger. The work of eight vineyard partners, all with cool climate vineyards. From these sources, Joel selects the grapes with the brightest fruit flavors and crisp acidities. The grapes are handpicked. Forty percent of them are fermented in neutral oak and sixty percent
are done in stainless. Seventy percent of the finished wine goes through malolactic fermentation for added complexities. Nine months in neutral oak and tanks gives this wine a rare clean style and balance. It has Celia Strong Asian pear, Meyer lemon and white nectarine aromas and flavors. And light floral notes. This is a vibrant wine that works well for sipping or with mildly spicy foods, poultry and seafood. For $15.99. Smoke Tree Pinot Noir is a basket full of cherries. In your glass, of course. Also from grapes grown in cooler climate vineyards. To ensure this wine has complexity, beyond what we might expect, Joel uses grapes from 20 year old vines. And five different clones. From eleven growing partners. With an astonishing wine as the result. Fermentation is done mostly in open tanks, some of the grapes remaining in whole clusters, mostly with native yeasts. The finished wine is aged for twelve months in French oak. Its aromas and flavors include black cherries, plums, cola, baking spices (allspice, cinnamon) and a hint of earthiness. The texture of this wine is so silky, and juicy, it’s just keeps on running out of your glass. It pairs well with charcuterie, mild barbecue, cheese, vegetarian dishes and grains like quinoa and farro. For $19.99. Smoke Tree Rosé is the third and last of these wines. Elegance and finesse in a lovely rosé body. Joel blends Grenache, Zinfandel and Carignan for this wine. Each sourced from sites across the state’s best growing regions for each variety. Hand harvested grapes are pressed whole cluster, at satellite locations to minimize color and phenolics. Three to four weeks of stabilizing and then a cold fermentation in stainless. The wine is aged about four months on its lees. No malolactic fermentation is done so this wine is really crisp. It has white peach, white cherry and yellow nectarine aromas and flavors, along with crabapples, quince and green herbs. It’s great with sushi, chilled meats and cheeses and fried chicken and shrimp. For $14.99. All delicious. With or without the surrounding Smoke Trees. Enjoy! Celia Strong works at Bill’s Liquor & Fine Wines on Lady’s Island.
