“When the well is dry, we know the worth of water.”

-Benjamin Franklin

Publisher

Rene Teran Creative Director

Whitney Johnson

If you were to take all of the water on earth and put it into a gallon jug, only a teaspoon of it would be available to humans to use. We see water all around us, yet it is becoming one of our most scarce resources. More and more, around the world, the price of a barrel of water is exceeding the price of a barrel of oil; our rivers are no longer reaching the sea; wells are salting in; deserts are expanding; and 3.5 million people die every year from no access to safe water. We rely on water so completely, and on so many levels, yet so much of our water use and impact on water resources is hidden.

This is the great paradox of water—we can’t live without it, but many of us don’t really understand how we use it. It is a global resource: the water in our rivers today was the water falling on your roof yesterday, and will be the water being drawn up a town well halfway around the world tomorrow. But it is also a common resource, and our right to access it comes with the responsibility to protect and conserve it.

So what does all of this have to do with a food and dining magazine?

This may come as a surprise for some of our new readers, but for those who are already acquainted with the Well FED family, they know that this publication is so much more than what appears on the surface...much like our water use.

So we are devoting our entire July issue to water: to how we use it, how it’s used in our name, and the impact we have on the health of our natural resources.

Our hope is that you will better understand the role it plays in your life and will discover some of the issues we are facing in our community, state, and world. Just as water is a common resource, we face common issues around it, and we must face them together.

Understanding

YOUR WATER FOOTPRINT

by Margosia Jadkowski

ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNER - CITY OF SAVANNAH WATER RESOURCES When asked, 80% of Americans say they believe they used an average amount of water or less in their daily lives. Beyond being statistically impossible, this goes to show that most of us don’t believe we have a problem with water, or that we contribute to a larger water problem. Water is a difficult resource when it comes to understanding how we use it; it’s more like air than oil. When a gallon of oil is burned, it is gone, at least in a timeframe meaningful for humans. But when we breath in oxygen, and out carbon dioxide, it’s not really using up the oxygen, because it’s always being replenished in a cycle. And those 3rd grade songs about the water cycle have taught us to assume the same is true of water. But if we think about water use as a daily snapshot of all the word’s water, we can begin to see how we may use more than our fair share. In that snapshot, of all the earth’s water, less than 1% is available for human use, with the rest tied up in oceans and ice. Now divide that between all 7 billion of us, not to mention all of the earth’s plants, animals, and ecosystems which depend on the same water resources.

Suddenly water doesn’t seem quite as limitless.

While the water we use directly throughout the day may not seem to be a significant amount— a few gallons here to flush a toilet, a few gallons there to cook dinner— we often forget about the water that is used in our name. Everything has a water footprint: the water that was used to produce the product, package it, transport it, and even the water that was polluted in the manufacturing process. In the US the average residential

WORLD’S WATER SUPPLY ESTIMATED

water use is 98 gallons per person each day.

But that is only water that we use directly in our homes and businesses. When the water that is used in our name, to grow our food, produce the magazine in your hands, the clothes you’re wearing, the car you drive, the average American uses 2,000 gallons each day.

It is no wonder, that when over 95% of our water use is hidden, from plain sight that so many of us think we are below average, that we are not part of the problem.

All the water that ever

The need to conserve water here in Savannah is immediate. Regionally we have drawn so much water out of the Floridian Aquifer, our primary drinking water source, that saltwater has started to seep into this 100,000 square mile underground water reservoir. That saltwater is moving toward Savannah’s wells and has already reached our neighbors in Hilton Head, closing half of their wells.

With saltwater intrusion into the aquifer we have begun to turn to Abercorn Creek as a water source. While we will likely depend more on the river in the future, conserving our current sources will always be a more sustainable, and less expensive option than developing new sources. It costs around 78% more to treat our surface water than groundwater, and millions of dollars of infrastructure would be needed to switch completely to using surface water. These are costs what we will all share if we don’t do our part to conserve water now.

The need to reduce the water used in our names is also immediate. According to the National Geographic’s Freshwater Initiative, in 2011 there were 360,000 gallons of clean, safe water for each person on earth for the year.

Due to population growth and contamination of water resources, in 2020 that will fall to 120,000 gallons, and by 2050 there will be only be 60,000 gallons for each of us. That may still seem like a lot, but at the current American consumption of 2,000 gallons each day, that is only a month’s supply.

The need to conserve water is immediate.

We created this guide to help everyone understand how we use water in our homes, in our food, and in the goods we buy can help us realize our own water footprint. But knowing how much water we use is only the first step—it doesn’t mean much if we don’t act on it. The easiest way is to improve the efficiency with which we use water. Notice the difference between an old toilet and a newer low-flow toilet. By just replacing one toilet, without doing anything else differently, a family of four can save over 16,000 gallons a year, and City of Savannah water customers can get two free low-flow toilets to replace old ones. Beyond making our water use more efficient, we can make behavioral changes.

Now that you know how much more water goes into a pound of beef than a pound of chicken, will it weigh into your decision about what to eat for dinner?

Don’t Clog with F.O.G.

T

hese days when we hear about fats, oils, and grease clogging something, it’s usually arteries.

But when hot fats, oils, and grease—known as FOG—are poured or washed down the drain in homes and restaurants, they solidify as they cool. This accumulates in our sewer pipes, building up and eventually obstructing the pipe. You probably try to spend as little time possible thinking about what’s inside the city’s sewer pipes, but when they become clogged with FOG and sewage backs up into homes, streets, rivers, and marshes it becomes impossible to ignore.

During the most recent incident on June 19th, an estimated 18,000 gallons of raw sewage flowed into storm drains after the sewer was blocked with FOG, mainly from homes, and proceeded to flow into the Kayton Canal, which in turn runs into the Savannah River.

Needless to say, this kind of “spill” poses a very serious health and environmental risk. In this case, City of Savannah crews were able to contain the spill before much reached the canal, and water samples show that contamination never reached the Savannah River.

For such a serious and potentially dangerous problem, the solution is quite easy and directly in our hands. FOG, including oil, butter, margarine, lard, shortening, meat fats and drippings, food scraps, baking goods, gravy, sauces, mayonnaise, salad dressings,

and even dairy products should be disposed of in the trash rather than down the drain. But in order to dispose of hot oils correctly, let them cool before throwing them away, and contain liquids in old bottles with lids or cans for more solidified oils like bacon grease. Even small amounts can accumulate, so wipe dishes and pans to absorb FOG left over with a paper towel before washing with water.

More and more, fryer oil from restaurants and homes is being collected and refined into biodiesel—a solution which protects our waterways and promotes local energy alternatives. Residents can collect and bring theirs to the Chatham County Recycling Center or the President Street Water Reclamation Facility. By following these few simple steps in your home you can do your part to keep sewage in its pipes, out of our waterways, and as out of mind as you’d like it to be.

Dispose F.O.G. by collecting it in containers before tossing in the trash.

According to the Savannah Chatham County Metropolitan Planning Commission, almost 59% of domestic water use is used outdoors.

Most of that is for irrigating lawns and watering gardens.

Agriculturally speaking, it takes approximately 1,075,800 gallons of water per year to feed the average American family. We can relieve some that water use by growing vegetables for ourselves and utilizing water conservation techniques in this process. Rain barrels are easy and inexpensive to make, water retention ponds are labor intensive initially, but hold infinitely more water, and rain gardens are an effective way to trap runoff water right where you need it most.

Follow the simple instructions on the next page to learn how to make your very own rain barrel from a lidded trash can that is easily purchased at local retailers.

here’s what you’ll need: The Spigot & Hardware You'll need a ¾" hose bib spigot (1/2" will work too but with smaller locknut and washer). These have 1” male threads at one end to screw into the barrel and ¾” at the other to attach a standard size hose.You'll also need a 1" galvanized locknut, Teflon tape, superglue and silicone sealant.

The Overflow Valve & Hardware

You’ll need a ¾” brass overflow valve which, like the spigot, has male threads on either end with the outer end able to connect with the female end of a hose (plastic will work too). These are called “male hose MIP adapter ¾ x ¾ x ½” at Lowe’s and #A665 at Home Depot.You’ll also need the locknut, Teflon tape, superglue, and silicone sealant.

Tools

•Drill •1” hole saw or drill bit (or use 15/16” for very secure fit) •Utility knife, Hacksaw, Scissors •Pliers or wrench •Mesh screen for the lid as a filter/mosquito control

DI R E C T IO N S 1.

Drill a 1” hole with your hole-saw or drill bit, just off the bottom of the container for the spigot assembly. I put mine as low as possible to maximize easy water use. It’s designed to be used with a stand. I use four cinder blocks.

2. Drill a 1” hole an inch or so below the rim for your overflow valve

assembly. This hole can go anywhere around the barrel at that latitude.

Keep in mind: don’t put it too close to the top (overflow) or too low (lose water storage). I recommend you put the hole 1-3 inches from the lid. Please note: if you’ve got a 2,000 square feet roof and those large downspouts, you may want to get a larger overflow valve.

3. Take utility knife to clean scraps around holes.

4.

4. Wrap the barrel end of the spigot three times around with Teflon tape and then screw in the spigot squarely. It should go by hand.

5. Screw on the locknut and finish tightening by turning the spigot while holding the locknut with a wrench or needle nose pliers. (You may need a second person to turn while you hold or vice versa).

6. Wrap the longer end of the overflow valve with Teflon tape three times and then screw it into the overflow hole by hand or by using a wrench or pliers if necessary. The outside male threads should be able to connect with a standard size hose to divert the overflow.

7. Screw on the locknut as far as possible by hand, then hold locknut while tightening overflow valve with pliers/wrench until it is very tight.

8. Take a tube of all-purpose silicone caulk and apply a bead where overflow valve meets the outside of the barrel.

9. Take a tube of all-purpose silicone caulk and apply where the spigot meets the barrel. Follow drying time directions from the silicone tube.

10. Cut the appropriate sized hole in the lid for your downspout or larger if catching directly off the roof.

11. Place screen on top and glue into place to keep mosquitoes out. If

using a downspout, the end of the spout can be wrapped in the mesh as a filter before it is fitted into the hole. The crack around the spout going through the lid can be caulked to keep mosquitoes out.

If there’s no downspout to connect to, turn the lid upside-down with the mesh-covered hole in the center of the inverted, concave shaped lid, this will trap more water as it rushes off the roof valley.

11.

12.

Using a spare piece of mesh and a rubberband, cover the overflow valve to prevent insects and debris from entering the barrel.

USE: Elevate the barrel on bricks or blocks high enough so that gravity will work for you in moving the water into your garden by hose, or high enough for a watering can to fit under the spigot. Situate the barrel below a downspout or roof-valley.

- If using a downspout, cut spout to height of elevated barrel so that an inch or two can be inserted into the barrel, caulk around this opening. A downspout diverter can be used as pictured in the opening page.

- Either connect a garden hose or soaker hose to the spigot, or use a watering can to deliver water to your plants.

- For more holding capacity, connect several barrels together with the overflow pipe of one leading into the overflow opening of the next one in line.

here is nothing more relaxing than a lazy canoe trip down one of southeast Georgia’s moody black water rivers. Highly reflective surfaces mirror other-worldly images of majestic cypress and stately tupelos transforming even the most hyper-tensioned Type A into a mellow, jellied floater. Leaning over the canoe gunwale I swished my hand through the dark warm waters of the mighty Altamaha River.That was Saturday afternoon.

Tuesday I boarded the Joe Ferguson, NOAA Gray’s Reef National Marine Sanctuary’s research vessel, with gear in hand to help with dive ops. The task for the day was to retrieve and replace receivers used in the acoustic fish tagging project, which pick up unique signature signals from tagged groupers and snappers. The study helps Gray’s Reef’s managers make informed decisions about the protection of the habitats these fish populations frequent. After cruising over relatively smooth seas we arrived at our first location. The water was its normal phytoplanktonrich green. I knew that water I had swished through my hands on the Altamaha the Saturday before most likely had already made its way to Gray’s Reef.

From Land to Sea, Watersheds to Ocean, Rivers to Reefs Written by Cathy J. Sakas, Education Coordinator NOAA Gray’s Reef National Marine Sanctuary Photos Courtesy of NOAA Gray’s Reef NMS

In 2011, Dr. Danny Gleason of Georgia Southern University designed a project to determine the time it would take for water from the mouth of the Altamaha River where nearly 70,000 gallons of freshwater per second empties into the Atlantic to make its way to Gray’s Reef.

Danny dumped gallons of a bright red environmentally friendly dye at the Altamaha’s mouth and waited. Before long a Georgia Department of Natural Resources law enforcement vessel approached with lights revolving. Danny had overlooked letting these guys know about the project. A bit red in the face and not from the dye Danny made his apologies and was permitted to continue following the dye. It took two and a half days for the now diluted dye to make its way to Gray’s Reef and it didn’t take a straight route either. It immediately moved southward along Georgia’s short coast and on down Florida’s northeast coast before prevailing easterly winds pushed it northward over the continental shelf and eventually over Gray’s Reef, located approximately 20 miles due east of Sapelo Island’s Nanny Goat Beach.

In studies dating back to 1991, Dr. Jack Blanton and colleagues of Skidaway Institute of Oceanography traced tritium leaking from the Savannah River Site.

The tritium proved to be expensive to trace but the researchers found that tritium-laced Savannah River water eventually makes its way over the continental shelf off Georgia after moving southward from its mouth past Georgia’s 16 barrier islands then along Florida’s northeast coast before prevailing easterlies push it back northward over the continental shelf off Georgia and potentially over Gray’s Reef.

Danny’s and Jack’s studies showed that water from the Altamaha River Watershed and Savannah River Watershed make their way offshore after moving southward along Georgia’s short coast and Florida’s northeastern shoreline. Some of the water makes it way to Gray’s Reef - land to sea, rivers to reefs.

From 2000 to 2002 three studies led by Dr. Jeff Hyland of NOAA Center for Coastal Ocean Science investigated the chemical contaminant loads of benthic infauna - the tiny organisms such as clams, brittle stars and worms that live in the sand of the ocean floor.

Hyland’s study found that these tiny organisms just visible to the naked eye contained metals, industrial and household chemicals, pesticides and herbicides.

His team followed a straight line transect from the mouth of the Altamaha 20 miles offshore to Gray’s Reef. The chemical contaminant loads of these tiny organisms diminished the further from the mouth they were located. The interesting find though is that these chemical contaminants were still detectable at Gray’s Reef and remember the water doesn’t travel in a straight line from the mouth out to Gray’s Reef or could come from another watershed. Some contaminants could come from atmospheric deposition (mercury from coal burning).

Just a few paragraphs back I mentioned Gray’s Reef’s fish acoustic tagging project. As it turns out several research projects from various agencies use the same equipment array and therefore receivers pick up “visitor” signals. Lemon, bull and white sharks tagged from Delaware south to Miami in other projects have been detected on Gray’s Reef’s receivers. The ones that really caught our collective attention were the Atlantic sturgeon tagged in the Altamaha River. The canoe I paddled in the Altamaha sports a thwart bent from the impact of a five-foot sturgeon that leaped into my canoe one lazy afternoon, rudely awakening me from my river reverie. Those same sturgeons jumping in the Altamaha and in other coastal freshwater rivers make their way offshore, some to Gray’s Reef. So not only is the water connecting land to sea but sturgeon are also making the case that the watersheds are the great connectors – rivers to reefs, sturgeon from the mighty Altamaha to the underwater treasure trove of Gray’s Reef.

So the bottom line is this. In order to have healthy reefs that provide critical habitat for those big delicious groupers and snappers most of us love to eat, the water that bathes offshore habitats including Gray’s Reef depends on the cleanliness of the water from land that eventually washes over it. Watersheds impact offshore habitats. Healthy watersheds result in healthy reefs and healthy reefs provide healthy habitats for economically important fish. Oh yes, and just in case you were wondering, we all impact a watershed, no matter where you live on this good ocean planet. What you use to wash your clothes and dishes, what you use to wash your car, how often you use your car brakse; whatever your personal choices, your decisions make their way into the ditches that flow into the streams that empty into the rivers that flow to the ocean. Your personal decisions ultimately determine the fate of our ocean.

Make Clean Decisions; Your Ocean Depends on You!

A Fisherman’s Tale Well Fed writer David Gignilliat and creative director Whitney Johnson spend a morning out on the local waters with Charlie Russo Jr., owner of Russo’s Seafood.

By David Gignilliat Whether you’re a local or a visitor, Charlie Russo Jr. is the type of Savannahian you hope to meet someday.

As friendly as a smile, he’s a charming storyteller, an engaging man with his melodic coastal drawl. And as the modern-day face of Russo’s Seafood, a familyowned seafood retailer and wholesaler since 1946, he’s as valuable a resource for local knowledge as any walking tour or downtown trolley.

Mr. Russo said for us to be there at 7 a.m. Sharp. We arrived at the Skidaway boat ramp, scanning the parking lot for our host’s truck. He was already waiting for us, on the water’s edge in his 17-foot whaler. We grabbed our provisions and headed over to meet him. After hellos and handshakes, we made our way onto his boat, undid the mooring ropes, and Russo started the engine to begin our early-morning journey.

As a matter of necessity and routine, Charlie Russo is a morning guy. He’s usually up before the crack of dawn, on his feet and ready for the day by 5:30 a.m.

He’ll eat breakfast, sometimes a “piece of fish between some toast,” and then he’s off to the store -- Russo’s Seafood on Abercorn Street -- by 6:30. Before Russo’s opens each morning at 8 a.m., there’s work to be done.

A group of morning workers, including some of his family members, join Russo for the ritualistic morning prep. The refrigerated display wells are filled with fresh ice, deliveries are made and received, and fish must be filleted, prepared and wrapped for sale.

The water, as still as a mirror, looked like it could go on forever. The sun was already out, but on the first day of the summer, we’d still have a few hours before it would reach its midday swelter. As the outboard motor pushed us quickly away from dry land, you could see the majestic natural beauty of these local waters. In the distance on both sides of the boat, spires of marsh grass swayed gently in the early morning breeze. Passing through channel markers, Mr. Russo gestured to points of interest, their names familiar yet still distant on the horizon. “There’s Burnside Island.” ... “There’s the Moon River.”

Well FED

The original Russo’s opened off Waters Avenue in 1946, or 31st and Waters Lane, to be exact, where his father Charlie Sr. and mother Antoinette first started the family business. It was the 1930s, and Charlie Sr. had a choice between an opportunity at the post office versus the fish business. Looking for security, he chose a postal career and was later drafted into service as a clerk during the war. Upon returning from the war, Charlie Sr. (or ‘Daddy,’ as Charlie calls him) began to learn the seafood business from Mr. Rayola. Charlie Sr. had a knack for the work, and Mr. Rayola eventually made him the store’s manager. Eventually, an opportunity for Mr. Russo to have his own space presented itself in the lane behind Connor’s supermarket on Waters.

“It started with humble beginnings on Waters,” Russo recalls.

“I remember being a six-year old boy filleting flounder.”

The business grew, establishing a foothold in Savannah’s thriving seafood industry. Russo’s Seafood eventually moved to a space twice the size at Abercorn and 40th, where it has been in business continuously for the last 40 years.

Our first stop was with Steve Tootle, an insurance salesman, a local crabber and Charlie’s friend. Charlie seemed to know Tootle’s usual spots, and it wasn’t long before we found him. As we arrived, Tootle was filling his crab trap with bait, and then let it drag in the water.

When he pulled it up, you could see the iridescent blue crustaceans, mostly female. Those big enough to eat went into a wooden bushel on the boat. Tootle then repeated the process, one he’d been doing for about 20 years, selling his daily bounty to local seafood shops and restaurants.

“I never knew what I was going to do for a living,” recalls Charlie, who graduated from Benedictine in 1961. “Coming up as a kid in the family business though, you always had that to fall back on.”

After Benedictine, Russo decided to take a trip with some buddies out to the northwest, one of those quintessential coming-of-age adventures.

“The seafood business is all about loyalty.”

To Ketchikan, Alaska, to be exact, where Russo had heard he could find profitable work at one of the pulp mills.As the trip’s date approached, the group of guys slowly became a group of one; just Charlie himself. No matter, he’d still go, he thought. After saving enough money, he took a Greyhound bus from Savannah to Seattle, and then on to Alaska. As luck would have it, when he got there, the pulp mills were on strike. There he was, 4000 miles away from home, his plans seemingly shot. Undeterred, Charlie went to the local employment agency and found work on a salmon boat.

Mr. Russo’s boat housed six fishing poles, and as we found a suitable spot to anchor, he grabbed three rods. Charlie, by far the expert on this trip, was the bait man for the day; hooking pieces of raw shrimp and whole squids for our attempts at bigger catch. He put out a bucket of chum, a frozen block of ground fish bones and guts, to prime the waters. Thirty minutes later, the frozen chunk was all but gone, just an oily slick of its fish essence left behind.

Russo’s has long been a fixture of the Savannah seafood scene. As a supplier to many local restaurants (including Elizabeth’s on 37th), its bona fides as a local retailer and wholesaler are without question. Its shrimp are from Georgia, and its bushels of oysters are from the nearby May River courtesy of the Bluffton Oyster Company.

-Continued on the next page.

They continue to offer a wide variety of seafood, including crab, tuna, flounder, grouper and whiting.

Russo’s wife, Clara, works in the store, and other family members often pitch in too. It’s the type of place where customers can have their fish filleted for them, chat with the Russo family or leave with a time-tested recipe or two.

“We do an excellent job in terms of quality and service, so it would be rare to not have someone stay with us,” says Russo. “The seafood business is all about loyalty,” There is a certain repetitive simplicity to fishing. Rig the bait. Cast the line. Wait. Wait some more. Feel a tug or a nibble. Reel it in. See what you caught. Or didn’t catch.

Repeat. It is an activity that rewards the patient, the consistent, the not-so-instantly gratified. Though most of the time we were not successful, we kept putting the line out there. And waiting. A few baby sharks, including a bonnethead, find our lines. The native whiting, tripletail and sunfish remain elusive. Charlie guides us to another spot, about 500 yards past another channel marker.

Finally, a lone whiting finds one of our lines. A small victory, one of many quiet virtues of the day.

In 2012, Russo’s faces new challenges, especially from government regulation and catch restrictions, which have in some cases forced him to find outside suppliers despite plentiful local waters. The obstacles also trickle down to other participants in the local seafood microeconomy (shops, suppliers, equipment, etc.), who must balance fuel costs, supply and price with an increasing public demand for authentic “local” product.

Well FED

“The red snapper, the grouper, those things we’ve depended on for years, the government has just stopped [the local suppliers] from catching. It has really hurt us,” he says. “Every time you turn around, the government has a restriction here, a restriction there. There are solutions here for us to help our local economy, but the government just keeps squeezing us down.”

On the way back to the boat ramp, we spy a passel of wild hogs roaming the mud and marsh on nearby Green Island, a private enclave. Closer to shore, we watch a dolphin crest in and out of the water. Among the friendliest of all mammals, it’s a treat to see them swim so closely to the boat. As our trip concludes, we thank Mr. Russo for the adventure, say our goodbyes, and step back onto land.

Russo’s also finds its modern-day competitors are not just local seafood depots, but also the sprawling seafood aisles of the area’s big-box grocery store chains.

“You know, as fancy as the supermarkets are, I think you still can’t beat our quality and selection,” he suggests.

“It’s all that pride and goodness that keeps us going.”

Russo’s Seafood is located at 201 East 40th Street, and is open Monday through Saturday, from 8 a.m. to 530 p.m.

Why saving the Savannah makes dollars

by Tonya Bonitatibus, Executive Director, Savannah River Keeper There is no doubt about it; the Savannah River is the lifeblood of our communities.

She stretches over 400 miles, forms the state boundary between Georgia and South Carolina, and drains more than 10,000sq miles of land. Her reach is almost perfectly cut in half, the top half largely lakes, including Thurmond, the largest lake east of the Mississippi. Her bottom half is free flowing and largely industrial.Where she meets the ocean, sits the 4th biggest port in the United States.

The Savannah binds those of us relying on her waters, making us reliant on those above us to care for the water before it reaches us, and those below us reliant on us to make sure we are being responsible as well.

Our economies are inseparably tied to the river, our drinking water comes from her, and for many of us her waters supply us with our recreational activities.

Without her we wouldn’t be here, and making sure she stays healthy and clean is not only the right thing to do, it is unquestionably something we must do, our health and our economic health rely on it.

and sense..

In just one day, The Savannah supplies over 1.4 million people with fresh drinking water, receives and dilutes over 18,000 tons of waste from industries and municipalities, and carries over 7000 containers through her port. River dependant businesses and cities have supporting companies and industries, which are dependent on their services and products. Cities like Savannah, and now Hilton Head and Bluffton are ever increasing their dependence on the Savannah River due to the loss of the fresh aquifer water.

Being at the end of a 400 mile river it is extremely important that those upstream protect the resource as much as they can, and in turn it is just as important that Savannah respect the needs of those upstream when considering major changes in its varied uses of the river, such as deepening the harbor.

With each major river user there are a number of supporting businesses reliant on their success, such as the trucking company transporting our exports to the port. The Savannah is used for such a broad spectrum of uses, and a balance must be kept to ensure all needs are being met adequately. We are now seeing what happens when the river isn’t kept adequately, and why we must make river health a top priority.

It’s cheaper to treat clean water.

One of the greatest things about a river is its ability to clean itself. A river’s wetlands and swamps serve as filters, its ground water recharges push in clean water, and the bugs, plants and fish eat and filter out pollutants.The longer a river flows, the cleaner it can become, and clean water is cheaper for all of us to use.

Our industries rely on the river to dilute and clean their waste, and we rely on the river to supply us with healthy and safe drinking water. Much of the pollutant load into the river does come from “point sources” such as the industries, but a large percentage of the pollutants that enter our waterways come from “non-point” sources such as runoff from our roadways, storm drains, or backyards. This cocktail of pollutants not only can detract significantly from the health of the river, it is in direct contrast with the filtering and cleaning effect non-developed land has.

By ensuring that we are doing what we can to reduce the negative effects of our run-off we are helping keeps the costs of water treatment down, allowing the industries the ability to use the waste load they need while ensuring the health of our waterways for all to enjoy. The industries are trying to do their part to ensure the health of the waterways; we must all make sure we are doing what we can as well.

The Savannah is a public resource; she belongs to all of us, and with ownership comes responsibility. Many of us work at the many industries or port, and or their supporting businesses, that rely on the Savannah for their water and waste dilution, all of us rely on her water for our homes.

The Savannah River is the 4th most toxic in the United States because of overuse, and better science. It is vital to our economy that no one use more than their fair share, and that they return what they use much as how they found it.

A healthy river is the cheapest to consume and use.

We own the river; we should take pride in her and realize how important her health is to our lives. It is up to all of us to protect her.

Do it for our economy, do it for our health, and do it for our beloved Savannah River!

Savannah Riverkeeper is a non-profit organization whose mission is to serve as the primary guardian of the Savannah River striving to respect, protect, and improve the entire river basin through education, advocacy, and action. We are a 501c (3) non-profit organization funded by individuals and foundations who share our commitment to creating a clean and healthy river that sustains life and is cherished by its people.

The Seasonal Chef Recipes by Savannah’s Top Chefs using Local & Seasonal Ingredients

Grilled Yellowfin Tuna over Roasted Provencal Summer Vegetables with Fresh Basil and Toasted Almond Pesto

by Chef David Landrigan, Executive Chef, Circa 1875

M

y inspiration behind creating this seasonal dish was that I wanted to provide readers with a recipe that is relatively easy to prepare and quick (taking less than 20 minutes). For the ingredients, I called Steve, Who runs the Local Farm Bag - a company which Steve was delivering my very own brown paper bag filled with fresh vegetables like squash, onions, grape tomatoes right to Circa 1875. The dish I created is composed entirely from the Farm Bag’s contents with the addition of only a few items. After attending the Forsyth Farmer’s Market on Saturday, I had some local Chanterelle mushrooms delivered. Although I produced this dish in my kitchen at Circa, this is something I make in my kitchen at home on the occasional Sunday. All you will need are the ingredients, a hot grill, a cooking sheet, a sauté pan, and a pot for boiling water.

Directions 1) Preheat oven to 400 degrees, heat up the grill, and get some water boiling.

Ingredients 7oz Yellow Fin Tuna Steak 2 medium size Onion 2 medium Yellow Squash 2 medium size Zucchini 3 medium Carrots 1 pint Grape Tomatoes 1 Leeks 4-6oz Mushrooms (Chanterelles) 8 cloves Garlic 4 filets chopped Anchovies (optional) ¼ cup Capers 4-6 Tbsp Butter 1 cup Olive Oil 1 cup White Wine 2 cups chopped Basil 2 cups chopped Spinach 1/2 cup toasted Almonds To taste Chef David’s other delicious creations, you can visit him at Circa 1875 which is located at 48 Whitaker Street in Downtown Savannah.

To learn more about the restaurant , check out their listing in the Well FED Dining Guide or visit them online at www.circa1875.com.

2) VEGGIES - Take all of the vegetables not including the herbs, mushrooms, and garlic and dice them, they should be roughly the size of a nickel. Toss these with 2 Tbsp of olive oil, some salt and pepper and seasoning of your choice. I used Herbs de Provence (a French herb blend) with lavender. If you would like to use Herbs de Provence and can’t find it at a regular grocery store, you will find it at The Spice and Tea Exchange on Broughton Street or the Salt Table on Barnard Street. Place them in the oven for about fifteen minutes.

3) TUNA - rub it with a little oil and sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper. Depending on the degree of doneness you prefer, put a couple of grill marks on the filet, for medium rare I suggest you sear it for about 2-3 minutes per side and then let it rest, give it 2-3 minutes before plating. By this time you should be pulling the roasted vegetables out of the oven.

4) MUSHROOMS - Since this dish is classically done in one large batch, a heartier mushroom such as a Button or Portobello mushroom can be roasted with the rest of the veggies but with the Chanterelle which were more delicate, I wanted to sauté them in butter and garlic and add them separately. Get some butter working in the saute pan (medium-medium high heat) then add garlic, anchovies, mushrooms and capers. Sauté these until the mushrooms are nice and golden brown. Deglaze with the white wine and toss them in with the roasted vegetables, add some butter.

This recipe can be made in family size batches with no fuss and grill as much tuna as you would like.

5.) PESTO –In a large pot filled halfway with water lightly salted, bring it to a boil. Add Basil leaves and spinach and let it blanch for 10-15 seconds. Remove and place the greens in an ice bath. Drain all the water and place in a food processor with about 2 cloves garlic, 3 tablespoons almonds, and begin to process. Slowly drizzle olive oil into the processor, using about ¾ of a cup or to your desired consistency. Season the pesto with salt and pepper and taste.

6) PLATING - Place a layer of roasted vegetables on the plate, tuna on top of that, a top with a few Chanterelle mushrooms.

Hit it with some chopped parsley, drizzle some pesto across the tuna, and you’re done

Where there’s smoke, there’s fire... BarbeCue

B

arbecue, as we all know it, is a staple of southern food and a favorite tradition. Often served with a side of sauce under your nails, sticky fingers and food stained tee-shirts, that smoky delicious flavor is something most Americans just can’t get enough of; especially if it comes from the award winning restaurant, Blowin’ Smoke BBQ in downtown Savannah.

Since its grand opening in 2008, Blowin’ Smoke has already been the winner of multiple awards including; best new restaurant, best outdoor dining, and most importantly, best barbecue- which they won two years in a row.

Chef and Pit Master, Todd Huskey got his start in the restaurant business at a steakhouse called “The Butcher Shop” along with his brother Brian. Brian now co-owns Gaslight Restaurant Group, which includes Blowin’ Smoke BBQ, and several other Savannah staples, together with his wife and partner Jennifer Huskey. Having “meat” on his mind since settling into Savannah in 2006, Blowin Smoke was the logical progression for Todd and the Huskeys when they decided to add another great dining spot to their restaurant repertoire.The restaurant has been a success from the start and become a much-loved institution for Savannah residents and visitors alike.

The famous BBQ is of course the main star at Blowin’ Smoke and starts with sourcing the right meat, no cutting corners or hurry here; We all know that great BBQ needs time and dedication if not the whole process is compromised. After curing the selected meats for a specific time, the distinct Blowin’ Smoke (secret) rub, containing a special selection of spices and herbs, is applied. From there the pit-master slow cooks each piece at a toasty temperature anywhere from two to 12 hours depending, by using the smoke from pecan wood logs to put the finishing touch on his award winning masterpieces.

In spring of this year, Todd revamped the menu to feature not only Blowin’ Smoke’s signature hand pulled pork and ribs, but to also give customers’ a taste of Savannah’s proximity to the open water with a fresh seafood selection that includes fried shrimp and crab cakes. There is something for all palates on the lunch, brunch and dinner menus, but Daily Special offerings help to meet and exceed customers’ expectations.

Blowin’ Smoke is also a great destination for outdoor dining enthusiasts and those who just prefer a casual and relaxed atmosphere; the beer-garden style outdoor patio is covered but refreshingly open and breezy. Dining on the patio is a family and group favorite and even has a logo emblazoned game of corn hole to entertain the kids or lighten your mood.

For LIVE music lovers, you can get your dose of up close and personal performances while enjoying a cold Sweetwater 420 from the large craft beer menu of carefully selected and approved brews. Blowin’ Smoke’s inviting venue hosts weekly performances and many alternative music events, which has made it a preferred destination for live music in the Low Country, including being a focal point of The Savannah Stopover Festival.

Barbecue lovers, families, music enthusiasts, beer aficionados, and outdoor diners alike, Blowin’ Smoke has a little something for everyone with their changing weekly specials, attractive prices, and outstanding quality. For those of you who aren’t exactly “pit masters” and are looking to enjoy a well -cooked BBQ in your own backyard, Blowin Smoke offers all menu items to go, including BBQ by the pound, sides such as Collard Greens and Mac N Cheese by the pint and quart, and even a whole smoked turkey or pig if you desire.

So, unless you plan on keeping your white tee-shirt and your fingers clean, you can’t go wrong with Blowin’ Smoke BBQ. Owners Jennifer and Brian Huskey “thrive on creating welcoming, customer friendly spaces that attract locals and visitors,” and boy do they do their job well. Stop in this summer to enjoy the tastes, sounds, and atmosphere that makes this BBQ joint so special and we’re sure you’ll come back again for seconds.

The Gaslight Restaurant Group also includes Abe’s on Lincoln, B. Matthew’s Eatery, and Blue Turtle Bistro, and each offer a different atmosphere and menu selections to meet the delights of a variety of palates.

Blowin’ Smoke is located at 514 MLK Jr. Blvd.

Thinking Outside

The Bottle

by Margosia Jadkowski

The Cost of Bottled Water Between 1988 and 2002 bottled water sales more than quadrupled to over 34 billion gallons a year. We’ve probably all contributed to this increase in one way or another especially when we’re away from home. But when a year of drinking 8 glasses of bottled water a day will cost you $1,400, compared to the $0.50 for a year of tap water, it’s worth asking what exactly we’re paying for. Most bottled water drinkers do so for three reasons: it is safer than tap water, its more convenient, and it tastes better. But is it really?

Safer? Cleaner? Purer? Healthier?

Around 80% of plastic water bottles end up in landfills

Tap Water vs. Bottled Water 1. Higher levels of at least 13 contaminants are allowed in bottled water than tap water.

2. Testing for contaminants, such as E. Coli or Coliform bacteria, is done hundreds of times a month for tap water, but only once a week for bottled water.

3. When a contaminant is found in tap water it must be reported to several agencies and the public. This has only happened once in the last five years for City of Savannah water, and it turned out just to be a sampling problem. There are no such requirements for bottled water though, and it is up to the company whether or not to notify the public.

Well FED

Considering bottled water costs over 2000 times as much as tap water, and over 50% of Americans are willing to pay the difference regularly, the idea that bottled water is somehow safer or better for you seems to be the driving force behind the industry. Tap water provided by a municipality or utility—which is anyone who pays a water bill—that is regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Safe Drinking Water Act. Bottled water, on the other hand, is regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This may not seem important, after all it’s the government either way, but in reality there are stricter regulations in place for tap water than bottled water. There are 5 major differences you should know: (starting with the blue box to the left)

4. The labs that test tap water must be certified, but those for bottled water do not have to be. In fact, bottled water companies can do their own testing without any oversight.

5. You can find out exactly what is in your tap water. Every year utilities put out Consumer Confidence Reports explaining the quality of their water for the year. You can also get this information from the EPA’s website. The only thing you’ll find about what’s in a bottle of water from the label is that it contains no sugars, fat, or protein.

So even if bottled water isn’t safer, maybe it’s somehow purer, from more pristine sources? With names like Arctic Spring Water and Glacier Mountain Natural Spring Water, and labels showing unspoiled wilderness, you’d certainly think so. Except for the fact Arctic Spring is actually in Florida, and Glacier Mountain is in New Jersey. In fact over 40% of bottled water is just reprocessed tap water.

Bottled Water costs about 2,000 times

more than Tap Water

There are some rules for how bottled water is named.

This can give you an idea about where a bottle’s water really comes from—

Understanding Bottled Water Source terms GROUNDWATER

Water from an underground zone, called an aquifer, that is under pressure but is not connected to surface water.

It generally is already very clean, and only has to be treated minimally.

WELL WATER

Water from a hole bored or drilled in the ground which draws water from an aquifer.

The majority of Savannah drinking water is well water.

SPRING WATER

Better Tasting? More Convenient?

A difference in taste doesn’t reflect a difference in the quality of water. Some bottled water companies add in chemicals and minerals to make their water taste the same, regardless of where it was bottled and what the sources are. While some people do prefer the taste of bottled water over tap water, a $20 filter pitcher will usually do the job for a fraction of the cost. The same is true of reusable water bottles, and the argument that bottled water is more convenient. Check out the article, ‘Drink Clean while Going Green’ on the next page for more information on bottled water alternatives.

What about all the bottles?

Water from an aquifer that reaches the surface without a drilled well.

Every year more than 1.5 million tons of plastic are used in bottling water. Beyond the environmental costs of producing the plastic—oil and natural gas— MINERAL WATER are the costs of dealing with the bottles once they are emptied. Recycling is certainly the best solution, Water from aquifers which naturally but as of 2002 only 20% of plastic water bottles were has a mineral content of 250 parts per million. being recycled. This may have gone up slightly since then, but that still leaves over a million tons of plastic sent to landfills every year.

PURIFIED WATER

Water that has been processed by distillation, deionization, reverse We have some of the highest quality, and cheapest, osmosis, or other processes. This term tap water in the Southeast here in Savannah. With the cost of bottled water so high— both the price does not reflect the source of the water, and environmental impact— and so many convenient but is usually used when spring water or alternatives, we’ve got to ask, is it worth it? mineral water do not apply.

To find out more about bottled water in America, Words like pure, purest, pristine, premium, mountain water, natural, and clean, on the other hand, are used for marketing, and are not required to reflect the sources or quality of the water.

Drink Clean while Going Green Written by Liz Querusio

refreshing & reusable alternatives to disposable bottled water he pitfalls of bottled water really are no joke. Our planet is cluttered with plastic T bottle waste that leave a carbon footprint a mile long. Besides the environmental and health issues bottled water pose, our wallets are taking quite a punch. If you read the article right before this one about the comparison between tap and bottled water, you’d know that the average bottle of water can cost around $3 whereas perfectly clean and healthy tap water is virtually free. Bottled water has been a popular alternative to tap water for almost three decades due to incidents like bacterial outbreaks in city water (this also happens in bottled water, though we don’t really hear about it) which have proved profitable for any company willing to provide “clean,” tasting water. Although tap water is perfectly safe for all of your drinking needs and even beats out some well known brands’ bottled water in blind taste tests, some people just don’t like the taste or still don’t feel confident enough in water treatment systems to remove harmful contaminants.

With temperatures climbing this summer, everyone could use an affordable source of clean water that is healthy and tastes good. If you are a bottled water junkie, consider this; unlike the cool mountain stream or bubbling brook images they are deceiving us with, Aquafina and Dasani bottled water isn’t much more than filtered tap water. So if most bottled water is just filtered tap water, why not cut out the middleman and do the filtering yourself?

Fortunately, the market is flooded with great ways to filter your own water at home or out on the town.

There are filtration systems that can screw onto your faucet, sit in your refrigerator, or fit in your purse. If you’d rather go the extra mile, you can even strap it to your back. Quench your thirst and bank account this summer.

Filtered Water Pitchers For the last several years, all my friends’ refrigerators had one thing in common: a carbon filter water pitcher.

Filter pitchers are by far one of the least expensive ways to produce your own clean water. Easy to use, easy to clean, filter pitchers are an inexpensive way to top off your personal water bottle. Filter pitchers are powerful enough to leave in fluoride, but remove harmful lead or the chlorine taste most people dislike about tap water. Some carbon filter water pitchers also remove harmful bacteria that can cause anything from diarrhea to severe intestinal problems.

Don’t forget that just like carbon filter pitchers, the filters inside these bottles will also have to be replaced every few months or so, depending on how much you use them.

If you prefer a non-plastic bottle, CamelBak sells a StainlessSteel Groove Filter Water Bottle, and rather than squeezing the water out, you literally just bite the nozzle and sip. This solid receptacle is as capable on the trail as on the subway.

Faucet Mounted Filters

If you’d rather bring pre-filtered water from home, there are numerous brands and styles of reusable water bottles to choose from. As long as it’s BPA free and will last a long time, any kind of reusable bottle is pretty much good by me. Stainless steel water bottles are an excellent BPA free way to carry around your filtered water and reduce the amount of plastic waste. These water bottles are machine washable, stylish, and come in a variety of sizes. Product Architect Inc. Polar bottle is made of a BPA-free plastic with a contoured exterior and a loop around the top that makes it easy to carry or clip onto a bag. With reusable options like these you’ll be cutting costs and environmental trauma in no time!

The trek from the refrigerator to the faucet to constantly refill your water pitcher may wear a path in the floor. For those of you who prefer their fresh water at optimum availability, faucet mounted filters and purifiers are the way to go. Twist it on and you’re ready to wash your vegetables for dinner or pour yourself a glass right out of the tap. These faucet mounts are great because they don’t limit the amount of clean water available.You can wash your produce, fill an ice cube tray, and wash your hands all with filtered water.There are lots of different filters to choose from and many require regular filter replacement. Prices vary from around $20-$35 but the long-term savings are as real as your endless supply of water.

Self Filtering Water Bottles Free, clean water is hard to come by shopping in the city or on a run in the country. Shopping mall water fountains can taste like runoff from the wishing well at the entrance and babbling brooks are hard to come by these days. You need a nifty water bottle that is reusable, washable, and compact while providing filtered water away from home. There are plenty of reliable and not-so-reliable choices out there. Soak up some knowledge on some of the latest trends, flops, and cost-effective alternatives on the market.

Brita is one of the best-known names when it comes to filtration systems. When they put the Brita Bottle Aqua on the market, that was the first I had ever seen a bottle that could filter water as you drink. I gave Brita Bottle a try, but due to the excessive sweating on the exterior and the strange suction sounds it made, it just wasn’t for me. Don’t despair though, there are plenty of other options out there, I’m sure you’ll find a bottle that’s the perfect fit for you. The good, green folks at Clear2O also created their own self-filtering water bottle called the Clear2Go, which is BPA free and can filter 100 gallons of water. With a carbon filter at the spout, all you have to do is fill it up and squeeze out fresh, filtered water.

Reusable BPA Free Bottles

If your outdoor activities keep your hands full, this next option is hands-free. For people who prefer need a constant stream of water available inches from their face, put your water supply on your back. Companies like Camelbak and Osprey solved the problem of how to keep going and keep hydrated with lightweight backpacks. The Osprey Verve and Viper packs can hold 2 liters of liquid that goes through an easily accessible tube and nozzle.

It’s perfect for grabbing and sipping while cycling or hiking. This model will run you about $70 but is meant for serious athletes and outdoors enthusiasts.

Every time you filter your own water and reuse water bottles, you reduce the amount of waste caused by plastic bottles around the world.Take your hydration needs into your own hands. Whichever water filter method(s) you choose should be researched thoroughly and be sure to check out product reviews so you can get honest opinions from real consumers. There’s a filter solution to meet any situation whether you’re shopping, hiking, or preparing a meal. Take back your right to enjoy clean, inexpensive water.
