PUBLISHER’S NOTE
While the temperatures may be cooling, the social
scene in Camden is heating up. Extracurricular
activities are in full swing throughout the South
as we celebrate our City’s favorite annual fall and
winter festivities. From rock shrimp to catfish, the
abundant fares from coastal waters bring us together
to celebrate a new season with our families
and friends. This is “small-town” America; when
you adventure out to one of the county’s festivals
you are greeted with warm smiles, gracious conversation, low-country food, and
vibrant people. Many have asked, what motivated us to start a publication that
celebrated life here in Camden and South Georgia. Don and I both grew up just
a rock’s throw from the Florida-Georgia border with generations of family sprinkled
down from the Mason-Dixon line. The South, its people, and its traditions
run through our veins. We believe more than ever there is a movement of people
just like us who are feeling a deep tugging on their hearts to find joy in simplicity.
They are being drawn to the traditions, community, beauty, and personality of
small towns. Camden County offers all those special things and it’s a gift to share
it through our magazines, around the world!
Our first volume reached far beyond what we ever anticipated, it took on a life
of its own and lit up Georgia like a wildfire. Quickly we were shipping orders all
over the country, further it traveled across the lake to our readers in Canada and
then further still to the corners of Afghanistan, where homesick soldiers passed a
tattered copy around their bunkers to remind them of “home”. Soldiers wrote us
saying it was a precious reminder of their own small towns sprinkled across our
great nation, towns and people they couldn’t wait to get back to!
In this volume, we share all about the outdoor life here in South Georgia, from
the waters to the land, and even the sky, we explored all HOT summer long to
unearth these great stories for you. What we already knew and confirmed is that
the rivers and waterways are the veins of life that run through Camden, without
them our community would dry up. The huge attraction of outdoor adventure
opportunities to both residents and tourists would no longer be without them.
It’s our responsibility to preserve our waters, they depend on us and so do all the
wildlife that depend on the waters. From the bees and fireflies, the fish and birds,
the deer and horses...these creations are our neighbors and desperately count on
us for survival. If we lose them, we lose Camden. Friends, we do not want to
transform into another light-polluted concrete jungle as so many small towns
have become. As the temperatures drops from sweltering to tolerable, lace up
your sneakers, grab a bag, and enjoy the beauty of the outdoors. Go for a boat ride
on the sparkling waters and watch the glorious sunset, take a stroll or bike ride
on our abundant trails amongst the towering pines and ancient oaks... and while
you’re out, do a little cleaning up for your wildlife neighbors.

GEORGIA’S FEATHERED
PREDATORS

The world is home to more than 200 owl species, most of which are nocturnal predators of
insects, birds and mammals. Georgia’s native owls are very beneficial components of the
state’s ecosystems, as they help to keep small animal populations in check. Great horned,
barred, barn and eastern screech owls inhabit Georgia in all seasons, but bird watchers
have also spotted five rare visitors from time to time.
Barn Owl - In contrast to all other native Georgia owls, which are members of the family
Strigidae, barn owls (tyto alba) are members of the family Tytonidae. Rather than
the round facial disk common to all strigids, the barn owl has a heart shaped facial
disk. They are generally pale overall with dark eyes, they have a mix of bluff and gray
on the head, back, and upperwings, and are white on the face, body, and underwings.
When seen at night they can appear all white. Barn Owls nest and roost in cavities,
abandoned barns and other buildings, and dense trees. At night, Barn Owls hunt by
flying low, back and forth over open habitats, searching for small rodents primarily by
sound. These owls require large areas of open land over which to hunt. This can either
be marsh, grasslands, or mazed agricultural fields. For nesting and roosting, they prefer
quiet cavities, either in trees or man-made structures such as barns and silos.
Great Horned Owl - With its long, earlike tufts, intimidating yellow-eyed stare, and
deep hooting voice, the Great Horned Owl is the quintessential owl of storybooks. This
powerful predator can take down birds and mammals even larger than itself, but it also
dines on daintier fare such as tiny scorpions, mice, and frogs. It’s one of the most common
owls in North America, equally at home in deserts, wetlands, forests, grasslands,
backyards, cities, and almost any other semi-open habitat between the Arctic and the
tropics. They have large eyes, pupils that open widely in the dark, and retinas containing
many rod cells for excellent night vision. Their eyes don’t move in their sockets, but
they can swivel their heads more than 180 degrees to look in any direction. They also
have sensitive hearing, thanks in part to facial disc feathers that direct sound waves to
their ears.
Northern Saw Owl

Eastern Screech Owls
Barred Owls- The Barred Owl’s hooting call, “Who
cooks for you? Who cooks for you-all?” is a classic
sound of old forests and treed swamps. But this attractive
owl, with soulful brown eyes and brown-and-whitestriped
plumage, can also pass completely unnoticed as
it flies noiselessly through the dense canopy or snoozes
on a tree limb. Barred Owls often take up residence in
nest boxes in mature forests. Consider putting up a nest
box to attract a breeding pair. Make sure you put it up
well before breeding season. Attach a guard to keep
predators from raiding eggs and young. Young Barred
Owls can climb trees by grasping the bark with their bill
and talons, flapping their wings, and walking their way
up the trunk.
Eastern Screech Owls - If a mysterious trill catches
your attention in the night, bear in mind the spooky
sound may come from an owl no bigger than a pint
glass. Common east of the Rockies in woods, suburbs,
and parks, the Eastern Screech Owl is found wherever
trees are, and they’re even willing to nest in backyard
nest boxes. These supremely camouflaged birds hide
out in nooks and tree crannies through the day, so train
your ears and listen for them at night. Eastern Screech
Owls readily accept nest boxes; consider putting one up
to attract a breeding pair. Make sure you put it up well
before breeding season. Attach a guard to keep predators
from raiding eggs and young. Nestling Screech
Owls fight fiercely among themselves for food, and
sometimes even kill their smallest sibling. This behavior,
known as siblicide, is not uncommon among birds such
as hawks, owls, and herons, and is often a result of poor
breeding conditions in a given year.
Short Eared Owl

Longed Horned Owl
Barn Owl

Now, let’s talk about our tourist Owls who
periodically visit Georgia during the fall and
winter months.
Long-Eared Owls- Long-eared Owls are
fairly dark birds with buff or orange faces and
intricate black, brown, and buff patterning on
its feathers. The ear tufts are black with buff or
orange fringes, the face has two vertical white
lines between the eyes, and the eyes are yellow.
Long-eared Owls are nocturnal and generally
spend days roosting in dense parts of trees,
often near the trunk where their plumage provides
excellent camouflage. The species is quite
vocal, and makes an incredible variety of hoots,
squeals, barks, and other noises. They hunt by making low,
coursing passes over open ground, but they rarely hunt
before true dark. In winter, the species often roosts communally.
Long-eared Owls require a combination of grassland
or other open country for foraging, and dense tall shrubs or
trees for nesting and roosting. Pine stands and windbreaks
or shelterbelts are favored winter roost habitat.
Barred Owl
Short-Eared Owls- This open-country hunter is one of the
world’s most widely distributed owls, and among the most
frequently seen in daylight. Don’t look too eagerly for the
ear tufts, which are so short they’re often invisible. More
conspicuous features are its black-rimmed yellow eyes staring
out from a pale facial disk. These birds course silently
over grasslands on broad, rounded wings, especially at
dawn and dusk. They use acute hearing to hunt small mammals
and birds. Normally reluctant to leave the nest, female
Short-eared Owls that are forced to flush often defecate on
their eggs. The resulting putrid smell may repel predators
or mask the scent of the nest.
Northern Saw-Whet Owl- A tiny owl with a catlike face,
oversized head, and bright yellow eyes, the Northern Sawwhet
Owl is practically bursting with attitude. Where mice
and other small mammals are concerned this fierce, silent
owl is anything but cute. One of the most common owls in
forests across northern North America (and across the U.S.
in winter), Saw-Whets are highly nocturnal and seldom
seen. Their high-pitched too-too-too call is a common
evening sound in evergreen mountain forests from January
through May. They may have been named for giving a call
that sounds like a saw being sharpened on a whetting stone,
but there is no consensus as to which of its several calls
gave rise to the name.

Kingsland’s
HISTORIC DOWNTOWN
It is no surprise that Kingsland is a city rich in history and natural beauty, along with vibrant locally owned
businesses. Established March 17, 1994, the Kingsland Commercial Historic District was added to the National
Register of Historic Places and includes the area surrounding South Lee Street between King Street
and William Street. Though stores and styles have changed over time the vision for the downtown district
remains; a crossroads with diverse specialty businesses. The Downtown Development Authority is cultivating
revitalization that protects Kingsland’s historic buildings, such as the old post office and the bank, longterm
this will provide more spaces for retail, dining, and second-floor residential opportunities.

HOMETOWN FAMILY
Tell us about your Kingsland childhood memories.
Mayor Day: I remember growing up living on highway 17 just
south of the Kingsland city line. I remember seeing the heavy
traffic on that road and then watching it slow as I95 grew in
popularity. One of my fondest memories was walking with my
father down the railroad track on Sunday afternoons with cane
poles. We would sit on the trestle bridge and fish for hours. I
don’t remember catching much, but I remember those walks
and the way the sun was usually above us on the trip there and
then sitting low in the pine trees later in the afternoon as he
held my hand on the walk back. I can clearly see the filtering
light through the pines when I think back to those walks. I
remember picking out Christmas trees at the old Winn-Dixie
as they leaned bundled up against the storefront that is now
occupied by the church in downtown. I can see the Christmas
bulbs flashing in the windows like it was yesterday. I remember
the feeling of the embedded stones on the “Rock Building” on
my hands as I walked down the length of the building to my
mother’s classroom at Kingsland Elementary School which
now serves as the board of education. I remember walking into
the State Bank of Kingsland where my father was president and
thinking that the ceiling of that space was as big as a gymnasium.
I remember church on Sundays with family and the
warmth of a loving community gathered together to rejoice in
the Savior. I remember little league baseball played at the Lion’s
Field and how the run from the outfield to home plate was so
far. I can’t think about those days on the grass without
smelling the Gatorade, bug spray, and the leather of my baseball
glove. All things seem smaller from a retrospective view,
but they were so large in the realist since of my developmental
life.
Did you both grow up in Camden?
Mayor Day: No. Amanda is originally from New Hampshire.
We met while at college at the University of Georgia. I’ve been
a lifelong resident of Kingsland with the exception of the years
that I attending college in Athens Ga. Amanda and I met at a
Christmas party in Athens during the senior year of my time at
UGA. It was love at first sight for me. I like to think that it was
the same for us both but I think Amanda took some convincing.
When did you move here? What brought you?
Mayor Day: I moved back home after graduation in 2000 with
the hopes of teaching art at the high school level. I was blessed
to get a position at the middle school which laid the groundwork
toward my position at the high school. Amanda followed
me here shortly after wrapping up her degree at the university.
Tell us about the old Fleming House:
Mayor Day: Sometime in 2008 we had aspirations of moving
to a larger home. We had actually made plans to purchase a
new home when I called Amanda and told her I had found the
perfect house. Sort of anyway. I drove her to 120 East King

Avenue and carefully pulled into the grassy lot. She looked up
at the old faded house with broken windows and a tree growing
through the back portion and asked me if it was a joke. To her
dismay, it was far from one. I just needed her to trust my vision
and spent a great deal of time walking her through what I saw
for the house. After a tour through with the realtor and after
we learned more about the history, she was hooked. It was a
true labor of love that seemed to consume us for approximately
two years in the renovation process. She was worth saving.
We’ve never regretted a minute of that time of our life. It was
an adventure we took together and by the time we finished,
a number of people in the community had come along for
the ride. We would constantly get visitors who wanted to see
the progress of the renovation and some would share stories
of their connections with the home or previous owners. We
found a lot of cool historical items in the home over the years.
We became very aware of the importance of trying to get the
renovation right and trying to preserve all the integrity of the
house while making it livable. I think it possessed us more than
we did it for those years. I was asked many times over the years
if I would go back and do it all again. My answer has always
been- absolutely. I’m very proud of the fact that we managed
to save the old gal and that she will hopefully live on for many
more families to enjoy.
Why did you choose to become a teacher?
Mayor Day: My decision to become a teacher was a logical progression
of my talents and upbringing. I was surrounded by educators
in my immediate and extended family. I loved art from
my childhood. It was always something that just clicked with
me. I was the kid who played to my strength in school. High
school group work consisted of me stepping forward to design
the poster, presentation board, or coming up with the ideas for
the projects. I love the process of brainstorming projects and
exploring the presentation aspect. The art was always my thing.
My love of art and excitement of working with young people
just logically lead to being an art educator. The kids keep me
young at heart and I love seeing them create something with
their hands that only they can do. Helping kids find their voice
in art is so important. This is especially true these days when
kids spend so much time plugged in and logged on. They need
the experience of visualizing, building, and problem solving
through trial and error. You get that creating art. My classroom
may be the only time in some of these kids’ lives that they ever
spend drawing and creating. But those experiences are fundamental
to developing higher order thinking.

Photo by: Miranda Spivey
Amanda was a psychology major and desired to use those skills
in her occupation. Her love for kids and her interest in the processes
of the developing mind led her to teach. Being exposed
to my family of educators also weighed heavily on her decision.
Her endless patience and ability to reach non-traditional learners
enabled her to easily acclimate to the special needs area. She
thrived in the classroom and has many memories of amazing
connections she made with students over the years.
With already being an educator, what motivated you to run
for Mayor?
Mayor Day: After the renovation and moving into the Flemming
house in the downtown area, I was asked to be a part of
the Downtown Development Authority. I spent a number of
years on the board when I was asked by community members
to consider running for city council. I’m far from a politician
but enjoy the public service model and felt the need to step up
when asked. I spent almost nine years on the council before,
again, being approached by members of the community. I loved
my time on council but always felt like we needed an updated
approach to communication with the public. I also felt like we
needed to better reflect the positivity of our community in our
governance.
Kingsland is an amazing place to live. We have so much to be
thankful for. We have a great school system, low crime rates,
and a community full of amazing people. I’ve worked to foster a
better projection of Kingsland to the public. If the town’s Mayor
is not the leading cheerleader for the town, then who is? I take
that job seriously. I want the world to know why Kingsland is
such great place to be so that we can grow and experience true
economic success. We are a city that is already seeing many
positive changes. I want to do whatever is in my power to continue
that healthy growth. Kingsland is open for business!
How can the community help build Kingsland?
Mayor Day: Get involved! Take part in local activities. Help
organize events. Project positivity to those you interact with.
Be a dedicated fan of our town. We get “forest for the trees”
syndrome some times. We have people from all over the nation
that come to our area to experience the coast, the weather, animals
and plant life that only we have. We are all guilty of taking
our home for granted at times. Be a billboard for our community.
Share the positive. Encourage local businesses and support
them when you can. It is our job to better our community. Be a
part of growing Kingsland to be the best that we can make it.

In 2010, I knew it was time to venture out on my own. I was
ready to cook dishes that were a reflection of who I am, my inspirations
and my influences. As I daydreamed of how I would
get to this next step, Cumberland Island presented itself— a
chef I was working for mentioned it in passing. It was not a
well-known culinary destination at the time; oddly enough I
had learned about it years earlier watching a PBS special about
national parks. Cumberland Island is a remote barrier island,
a national seashore off the coast of Georgia. Most who see
the island see wild beauty and undeveloped coastline. I saw the
opportunity to create a truly unique culinary program. Hidden
away on this island sits a sixteen-room inn, Greyfield, with a
two-acre organic garden and access to the undeveloped seventeen-mile-long
island that surrounds it. I wrote a letter to the
proprietors of Greyfield proposing that they appoint me as
their chef. I visited the island, cooked a dinner for the guests,
and I was hired—as simple as that. Ben and I sold almost everything
we owned and we moved to this protected national
seashore with a permanent population of around forty-five
people. On Cumberland Island Ben and I quickly learned that
cooking is not confined to the kitchen. There are wood grills
and smokers, with stacks of freshly chopped cedar and oak
ready to be burned down into coals. The intracoastal waterway
is visible from the kitchen window—shrimp and fishing boats
can be seen passing by daily. Outside we collected bay leaves,
fig leaves, wild mushrooms, muscadines, and wild blueberries.
Citrus trees are prolific and wild banana trees are rooted in a
marshy corner of the garden. The honey produced by the numerous
beehives on the island is a golden elixir with a unique
cinnamon quality.

The Golden Silk Orb-Weaver
Written by Faythe Hall
The Golden Silk Orb-Weaver, the writing spider; she spins intricate yellow silk webs, beautifully draping the forest. When the rays
from the sun reach down and illuminate this spider’s web, every thread appears golden or metallic. Not your average web weaver,
no, this smart spider is a master in her industry, her webs are each as unique as a snowflake, always one of a kind, an extremely
complex constructed piece of artwork. The yellow-golden sunlit web attracts and traps bees that are drawn to the bright alluring
silky strands, and because her web can be deceiving reflecting many colors of the rainbow, it blends in with the background of
foliage, a natural camouflage in darker and shadier conditions where there are no rays of light to make it sparkle. She starts each
masterpiece by choosing the color of her strands to maximize its effectiveness in terms of background, light, and color. She has
the ability to vary her web’s coloring based on the location’s surroundings. Firstly she builds a non-sticky spiral and the fills in the
gaps with sleek, sticky silk. A piece of artwork, not just for adornment, her web must be regularly maintained in order to keep it
effective for ensnaring prey. Is her bite venomous you may wonder? The short answer is yes, but only mildly. While the venom
is similar to that of a black widow spider, it is nowhere near as strong and not at all fatal under normal circumstances. She, like
most orb weaves, can be useful to people, especially the gardener, because her favorite snacks are a wide range of flying prey,
including small to medium insects, such as fruit flies. The Golden Silk Orb-Weaver molt in several stages and about four days
before reaching her final molt, she will stop eating and repairing her web. This is when she is the most sexually active,when a male
approaches her for copulation, he vibrates his abdomen using a plucking motion, a scene from out of Saturday Night Fever. This
activity arouses the female and prevents her from eating him (at least, for the moment). Once mated, the female spins at leat two
large (about an inch in diameter) egg sacs on a tree. The baby orb-weaver incubators hold hundreds of eggs and are surrounded
by curly, yellow silk. The male stands as a guard protecting her as she does this. She may change web sites and male partners
throughout her adulthood and produce one generation per year in Georgia.

CREATURES OF THE LIGHT
Blinking fireflies, or as we know them in low country, “lightning bugs”, are icons of Georgia summer nights.
C
collecting fireflies is a childhood memory that
many of us share here in the South. Their glowing
lights begin to appear in the twilight around the
time school ends each year, signaling the start
of summer vacation. But is the fire going out?
Researchers and advocates say the insect is on the decline as
more of its habitats are consumed by development, leaving fewer
marshes and meadows to illuminate. Its struggle is further
compounded by light pollution, pesticides, and weed killers.
“If fireflies are disappearing that means we’re losing a lot more
than fireflies. They can be an indicator of the quality of the wetlands.
As the wetlands go, so go the fireflies” said Nancy Hinkle,
an entomologist at UGA. The empirical proof is beginning
to mount, though, biologists are hunting down rare fireflies
and in 2018 even discovered new species, but there is a handful
of fireflies described by early 20th-century entomologists that
can no longer be found. Habitat loss due to development and
pesticide misuse probably are some reasons. Also, since fireflies
use light to communicate, too many bright lights at night street
lights, outdoor signs, porch lights may confuse the insects and
make it harder for them to find a mate.
What lights up this precious Georgia bug? Producing organs at
the rear of their abdomens contain two chemicals luciferin and
luciferase that are combined to generate light in a process that’s
nearly 100-percent energy-efficient, so no heat is generated.
The light may be greenish, orange or yellow. To many of us,
fireflies or lightning bugs are icons of a Georgia summer night.
Without flashing fireflies, summer evenings are not the same.
Georgia has more firefly species than any other state, 56 species,
each having its own distinct flash. Males flash while flying;
wingless females sit on vegetation and emit their own light signals,
which the males cue on. The other night, I sat on my back
porch to see if any fireflies were blinking in the yard. I detected
only five or six, but I was glad even for that small number. For
several summers now, once-abundant fireflies have been scarce
or absent altogether in many South Georgia counties. Fireflies
are picky about where they live and many are not able to recover
when their habitats are destroyed or rearranged.
So what can you do to help fireflies make a comeback?
• Install water features in your garden.
• Allow logs to rot. 95% of their lives are in larval stages and
they live in rotting logs, soil/mud/leaf litter.
• Refrain from using lawn chemicals.
• Plant a garden and trees.
• Don’t over-mow your lawn, and don’t rake leaves! You are
raking up firefly larvae and discarding them.

Keep your elbows away from the water - crucial advice you’ll recall as your kayak, low to the drink, drifts a little further
into the lily pads and towards whatever lurks amongst them. The carpet of green lily leaves floating on the water dotted
with Yellow Pond Lily flower heads that never fully open to reveal their hidden beauty; also conceal the swamp’s most
famous inhabitant, the American alligator. Beauty and the Beast, side by side. One of the Seven Natural Wonders of
Georgia, the Okefenokee, near the border with Florida, is, at over 400,000 acres, the largest blackwater swamp in
North America, and a place of astounding scenery.

We met Captain Stover at the way-late fishing time of 9:00 a.m. on the boat dock in St. Marys, Georgia. It is one of the most picturesque
and visitor-friendly places along the South Atlantic Seaboard. Stover’s boat was already in the water and ready to run when
we arrived. We loaded our necessary snacking supplies into Joe’s boat and soon were scooting south and east down the St. Marys
river into open deep waters to the jetties. Pristine and extensive marshlands border Camden county, and bird life was bountiful.
Herons, egrets, opsreys, gulls, and pelicans soared agianst the crystal clear blue sky. Vast oyster beds and tiny tidewater creeks line
St. Marys and Cumberland Island. As waves ebbed and flowed beneath the stern, it was easy to see why Stover chose the career
path of captain after growing up with his brother on these Southern tide waters. There are so many inshore waterways in Coastal
Georgia to explore, it might just take a lifetime to fish all of them.

Trout fishing and red fishing are good year round and they are great October-November and March-June.
Flounder fishing is best May-August for quantity and October for quality.
The offshore fishery is excellent here in Camden; Wahoo bite December-March then the Mahi-Mahi bite from
April-May with some stragglers being caught throughout the summer.
Bottom fishing offshore is plentiful year-round. Black Sea Bass, Red Snapper, Triggerfish, Porgy,
Mutton Snapper, and Grouper are regular catches.

Reeds Ponderosa: Part 1
Image & Story by Faythe Hall

In the year of 1920, a man who would leave a strong legacy was born
here in Camden County, Georgia to Willie and Mary Street Reed. The
5th child and 2nd son of 11 children, Leroy Reed was affectionately
called “Lee Boy” by his parents. Leroy was the grandson of Stalin and
Mary Street, both born during the civil war around 1860 in Smithville
Georgia and Peach County. Leroy attended the public school of
this county and was an active Sunday School student, serving as the
Sunday School secretary. While in his youth Leroy joined Clinches
Chapel Church. Now, Clinches Chapel Church has a history tied to
the Reed family. The church was destroyed in a fire and the Reeds
helped rebuild the structure on the property. They attended the
Emancipation Proclamation of 1863 but that is a story for another
volume.
After Pearl Harbor was attacked by the Imperial Japanese Navy
Air Service, Leroy was drafted along with many other black young
men in Camden County. They left the city in segregated black-only
buses and served proudly overseas. During the war years, the segregation
practices of civilian life spilled over into the military. The
draft was segregated and more often than not African-Americans
were passed over by the all-white draft boards. Pressure from the
NAACP led President Roosevelt to pledge that African Americans
would be enlisted according to their percentage in the population.
Although this percentage, 10.6%, was never actually attained in the
services during the war, African-American numbers grew dramatically in the Army, Navy, Army Air Force, Marine Corps,
and the Coast Guard.
Stephen Ambrose identified the lamentable American irony of
WWII, writing, “The world’s greatest democracy fought the world’s
greatest racist with a segregated army” (Ambrose, Citizen Soldier).
During the global conflict, African American leaders and organizations
established the “Double V” campaign, calling for victory against
the enemy overseas and victory against racism at home. This new
black consciousness and the defiant rejection of unjustifiable racism
planted important seeds for the post-War civil rights movement.
For 4 1/2 years, Reed served with as much honor, distinction, and
courage as any American soldier did and he attained the rank of
Sergeant before the war ended. After serving in WW2 he returned to
Georgia and soon realized he no longer wanted to work for anyone
else. While watching a man washing storefront windows in downtown
Brunswick, he asked the Lord in prayer to help him build a business
so he could wash his own windows (however, he never did wash
windows).
After dipping Turpentine for 50 cents a day, cutting boxes for 25 cents
or pouring cement for 75 cents an hour, he looked for other ways to
provide. Reed was a man who wasn’t afraid of work and he was a man
of many trades, he butchered meat, sold ice, raised children and sold
eggs, planted pine trees, and even went back to work for someone
else to make it over those hard times. He drove the school bus for the
county school, worked at Thiokol Chemical and was a cook at Horne’s
Restaurant in Woodbine where the new Post Office is now.

Reed’s first ice house
Wednesday, February 3, 1971 The Thiokol-Woodbine explosion
occurred in which Reed lost 3 friends and the only
reason he and his sister were not working that day was that
he was working in the store and sister-n-law was attending a
family funeral. God definitely had a plan for them.
“Be in business for yourself!” Reed said, “that way you never
be without a job”.
So it began, that in 1948 Reed became one of the first black
business owners in Camden County. Reed was very active
in community affairs. He was a member of the American
Legion, served on the Democratic Executive Committee,
The Department of Agriculture - ASC committee of Camden
county and set many important milestones for the black
community in Georgia by also becoming the very first black
notary and board member of the Camden County Board of
education, which he proudly served on for 14 years.
Later Reed was given an award by the Black Business Association
in Georgia, recognizing his contribution to the community.
Leroy raised 5 sons and 1 daughter, but being such a leader in
the community, raised and cared for many other youngsters.
Peggie L. Walker was born March 5th in 1930, she was the
10th child of 12 living children born to Obeina Matilda Kennedy
Walker and Boise W. Walker. A smart and determined
child who had a thirst to pursue education, Peggie attended
the local segregated black-only elementary school but at the
time there was no further education for the black community
after 6th grade. Not satisfied with this she moved to Yulee,
Florida to pursue her high school education from Peck High
but faced another hurdle when her own brother PC was
drafted into WW2. Peggie knew her journey wasn’t over, she
traveled to Macon, Georgia with her sister Julia to continue
her learning.
Her brothers Floyd and LB who had volunteered in WW2
traveled back home for the funeral of their brother Luther
who had drowned in Camden in 1946 and Peggy made the
choice to travel across the country to Riverside, California
with her brothers in pursuit of an integrated high school to
receive her diploma from Polytech High. She was a start on
the basketball team and after proudly graduating she returned
to Georgia and attended Madam C.J. Walker Cosmetology
School in Savannah where she received her cosmetology
license.

Peggie and Leroy married in 1950 and quickly afterward started
their family in the first small Reed’s store beginning in1951, with
Deborah, followed by Gregory, Donald, Vincent, and Barry.
Forever the lover of education and want to support her husband’s
new business venture, Peggie studied and took correspondence
classes from Lasell University to receive her certification in
bookkeeping. She worked very long days from six to midnight
doing hair in the back room kitchen of the first Reed’s store,
keeping the books, and making homemade hamburgers to sell in
the store. She would add bell peppers, onions, and secret recipes
and the children would roll the hamburgers out to put in the
freezer.
Peggie has been a member since the mid 1930s of Oakhill
Methodist which became Oakhill United Methodist in 1968,
when with joined the United Evangelical Brothers, she has been
a certified lay speaker for the Methodist church for over 30 years.
One of the first women in the South Conference to become a
Lay speaker. She has been the childrens teacher, young adult
teacher, and adult teacher, as well as a member in the choir until
her voice left her. She drove the school bus after her children
graduated higshchool.

Oakhill celebrated their 147th anniversary and before the Civial War, Oak Hill was owned by a white congregation but during
the war they left the church so both Confederate and Union soldiers used the Oakhill as an encampment. Both Confederate and
Union soldiers are buried in the graveyard. Both Peggie’s parents and all but three siblings are buried at Oakhill.
Together Leroy and Peggy were dedicated in working hard to build a business they could pass on to their children.They lived in
the back of the first Reed’s store which had a pool table and jukebox until 1959 when the Reed home was built and expanded the
store to what we know now, 1963. The family believed in faith, family and friends; they hosted big 4th of July cook-outs, where
Leroy showed his appreciation to the whole community. They slaughtered a cow and cooked for 3 full days. People in the community
came and helped with everything, preparing food and over 50 gallons of lemonade, music, dancing and softball games in the
baseball field created cherished memories.

The Reed family raised Hogs and fall was the time of year for slaughtering
and grinding sugar cane. They made their own syrup and juice
which they sold. People in the neighborhood, relatives and older
people in the community would come over to help skim juice from
the canes, preparing them for the grinder. During this time there was
a lot of trepidation with Mr. Reed running for the Camden County
School Board; he was always defeated by a mysetrious 2-3 votes that
would appear overnight and even feared for his life after an attempt
on it, he ran 3 or 4 times before finally becoming the first black board
member of the school board.

INVASIVE SPECIES found
The snakehead is a long, thin fish, similar in appearance to a bowfin. They can grow up to 3 feet in length. They have a long dorsal fin that runs along their whole
back, and they have a dark-brown, blotchy appearance. They can breathe air and can survive in waters with very low oxygen levels.
I
t’s an interesting time to be a Georgian. We have
been dealing with the impacts of non-native,
invasive coyotes for decades. Then in September
we learned about giant lizards from Argentina
roaming the woods of Toombs County. Now, the
State has confirmed report of a Snakehead, a tooth-filled ugly
fish that can live out of the water for days, grows up-to 3 feet
long and eats just about anything it pleases. Yikes! The U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service made importation of Snakehead fish illegal
without a permit under the Lacey Act in 2002. Like Argentina
lizards now being found in South Georgia woods, the Northern
Snakehead is common aquarium pet that when released
into the wild could have extremely serious impacts. According
to the DNR, the Georgia snakehead was recently caught in a
private pond in Gwinnett County. They first came to North
America both as an aquarium pet and also as a food source. In
the wild, a Snakehead breeds up to five times a year, producing
tens of thousands of baby Snakeheads and unlike most fish,
both parents protect the hatchlings. Snakeheads first appeared
in the wild in the United States in 2002 in two Maryland ponds.
They soon showed up in California, New York, Virginia, Florida
and North Carolina. Snakeheads have now been reported in
14 US states.
“Our first line of defense in the fight against aquatic invasive
species, such as the northern Snakehead, are our anglers,” said
Matt Thomas, Chief of Fisheries for WRD. “Thanks to the
quick report by an angler, our staff was able to investigate and
confirm the presence of this species in this water body. We are
now taking steps to determine if they have spread from this
water body and, hopefully, keep it from spreading to other
Georgia waters.”
If you believe you have reeled in a Snakehead DO NOT
RELEASE IT, follow the guidelines below.
• Kill it immediately (remember, it can survive on land)
and freeze it.
• If possible, take pictures of the fish, including closeups
of its mouth, fins and tail.
• Note where it was caught (waterbody, landmarks or
GPS coordinates).
• Report it to your regional Georgia DNR Wildlife Resources
Division Fisheries Office.

FINE ANTIQUE RESTORATION
112 S LEE ST KINGSLAND, GA

As he walks through his downtown Kingsland shop where he works
to restore history, Eberhard Sopp aka “Ebbie” tells the stories of the
piece of history he is working to recreate. Whether considering a
new piece of furniture to fill that one special place in a home, or
wondering how to best work that “old hand-me-down” into changing
needs, Ebbie has made the journey many times.
Professional furniture restorers and hobbyists alike all have one
thing in common: the desire to pluck a piece of furniture and restore
it to its former glory. Furniture restoration may be a lost art, but Ebbie
is fondly known by many as the “furniture restorer” and has been
performing his craft for almost 50 years. His experience in restoring
antiques, refinishing furniture and creating new pieces has put him
at the top of his profession and a household name in Georgia, restoring
pieces for Greyfield Inn, politicians, and museums.

Ebbie is a one-man show, no fancy manufacturing facility; just plain him. What you see is what you get, and what you get is good. A
man who knows how to bring your furniture back to life. He runs everything from taking incoming phone calls, scheduling, stripping,
refinishing and repairing the furniture. Ebbie said he appreciates his very loyal customers. “I try to provide great furniture restoration
and service for my customers. I am their personal furniture restorer. I want them to like my work and become frequent customers.”
Ebbie soon realized the need for his trade. “I realized there was a much larger need out there for quality, dependable furniture refinishing,
repairs of new and worn architectural millwork, interior woodwork, wood doors, and cabinetry.” Ebbie says he specializes in
antique restoration and reproduction even though it’s a lost art, with so many choosing not to invest in longterm pieces but cheap
mass manufactured furniture. “If that old chair in the attic is missing a leg or arm, I can reproduce it. You want your family pieces to
retain their value. It is so important to have your heirloom furniture restored correctly,” said Ebbie. Restoring furniture has been a
labor of love for Ebbie as long as he can remember. He understands a person’s furniture, old or new, is part of that person. When
you take a walk through his store, he loveingly tells every peice of furniture’s story, it’s history and the journey it took before coming
to him.

CHEF PROFILE
Daniel Latham
Photos by Taylor Deann Photography
“My passion for cooking stemmed from just
loving quality food and discovering how I
could express myself through my food”
I started in the industry when I was 16 years old as
a dishwasher at Noah’s Restaurant in the Stonington
Borough of Stonington, CT. That was my first experience
in a scratch kitchen working under a Chef which
had family that owned and operated a Jewish Bakery
in New York. Not long after starting I was doing daily
prep, rolling fresh pasta, and assisting the Chef with
his bread and dessert baking after hours. I was part
of that team for nearly 5 years. From there I worked
at “A Thyme To Cook”. This was a scratch catering
outfit also in CT. I was a Grill Cook and Prep Monster
during that time. Following that time I was on
the opening team for Mohegan Sun Casino, and the
Seasons dining. After five years at the Casino I took
a break from Culinary. The passion for creating quality
food never left and I stepped back into the field at
Stonington Harbour Yacht Club as the Sous Chef for
the 150 seat Fine Dining Club. I relocated south and
met Bill Shaffer (Owner of 401 West) when I interviewed
for the position of Kitchen Manager at Osprey
Cove. After working together for a couple years we
both left for other opportunities. I went on to work at
several Florida restaurants such as Taverna, The Patio
Place, and Amelia Tavern. In the time leading up to the 401 opening I have traveled the region forming relationships with
area producers. Our link to the local farmers and purveyors is a big part of the menu at the restaurant. As Executive
Chef at 401 West Restaurant, I train my team to respect the ingredients and highlight the natural flavors that each one
provides to the final product. Seasonal ingredients, cooked simply, and thoughtfully is the driving mission for our kitchen.
Favorite dish to serve? I don’t have just one favorite dish to serve, all food has its unique beauty and qualities. I do love

America’s Native Spirit “Bourbon”
Oh, bourbon. Not only are you the favorite drink of adventurers,
artists, accountants, and members of other professions
that don’t start with the letter A, you’re also America’s
spirit. We mean that literally. The drink revered by presidents
and common citizen alike. You were born in the land
of the free and home of the brave and you wear that badge
of honor proudly. But, what makes bourbon America’s
spirit? Is it because every batch is distilled by a bald eagle?
Sadly, no. As one might expect, the history of bourbon is
a little sketchy. Many important dates are disputed, many
have long been forgotten (a few on purpose) and still more
may have become hazy due to the nature of the subject at
hand. Here are some of those important moments. Many
of these events had an impact that reached far beyond
those who make and drink “America’s Native Spirit.”
1783: Samuels Family Tradition Begins
The Samuels family claims the title of the oldest bourbon family still
going strong. Prior to 1840, the Samuels family did not produce bourbon
commercially. It wasn’t until T.W. Samuels (grandson of Robert
Samuels who created the “secret” family recipe) came along and constructed
a distillery at Samuels Depot, Kentucky that the family made
a business of bourbon. In 1943, after a break during Prohibition, Bill
Samuels Sr. burned that famous family recipe. Bill Sr. wanted to create
a bourbon without the bitterness, and so he did: Maker’s Mark. The
company is now in the hands of his son, Bill Samuels Jr., who continues
the family bourbon tradition today.
1783: First Commercial Distillery in Kentucky
When Evan Williams opened his distillery on the banks of the
Ohio River in Louisville, it was the first commercial distillery in
Kentucky. The bourbon that still bears the distiller’s name is one
of the popular bourbons today.
1785: Bourbon County, Kentucky Is Established
The stories are unclear as to how the whiskey distilled in the Kentucky
area came to be named “bourbon.” The modern borders
of Bourbon County, Kentucky are not the way it was originally
established; “Old Bourbon County” is comprised of 14 modern
counties. Current day Bourbon County has little significance in
the production of bourbon whiskey, instead, most production is
concentrated in the Louisville, Frankfurt, and Bardstown areas.
1789: Elijah Craig
It’s been said that Elijah Craig invented bourbon by aging the already
popular corn whiskey, or moonshine. This is a disputed fact;
many believe that bourbon was not invented, but instead evolved
with many hands in the barrel, so to speak, such as those who
emigrated from Pennsylvania because of the Whiskey Excise Tax.
It is a fact that in 1789 Elijah Craig, Baptist minister, opened a distillery
in Georgetown, Kentucky. Heaven Hill Distillery produces
a bourbon named after the “inventor” of bourbon.
1794: Whiskey Rebellion
Farmers, primarily in western Pennsylvania, protest against the
1791 Whiskey Excise Tax. President Washington called up 13,000
militia to deal with the rebels, but the band dispersed before any
conflicts.

These events encouraged Kentucky and Tennessee distillers, who were
not subject to the federal law at the time. The Whiskey Rebellion was
the first real test of the federal government’s ability to enforce laws.
1795 The Beam Tradition Begins
The Beam family has one of the best-known names in American whiskey.
The man that started what would be a family legacy and is now in
its 7th generation, was Jacob Beam who sold his first barrel of “Old Jake
Beam Sour” in 1795. Since that time David Beam, David M. Beam, Col.
James Beam (the Jim Beam), T. Jeremiah Beam, Booker Noe (Booker’s
Small Batch) and, now, Fred Noe have carried the family craft into what
it has become today. Other members of the Beam family also found a
place in bourbon’s story. Jack Beam (Jim’s uncle) founded ​Early Times.
Parker Beam was renowned for his great whiskeys which receive a tribute
every year with the annual release of Parker’s Heritage Collection.
1821: Bourbon Advertising Begins
The first advertisement for bourbon was printed in the Western Citizen
Newspaper in Paris, Kentucky, in 1821.
1823: Sour Mash Developed
Dr. James C. Crow developed what is known as sour mash at the Pepper
Distillery (now the Woodford Reserve Distillery). This method of recycling
some yeast for the next fermentation revolutionized the way most
bourbons and Tennessee ​whiskeys have been produced since.

1840: It’s Officially “Bourbon”
Although bourbon whiskey had been distilled in the Old Bourbon
County area for decades, it was not until 1840 that it officially became
known as Bourbon. Prior to this, ​it was often labeled “Bourbon County
Whiskey” or “Old Bourbon County Whiskey.”
1861-1865: The Civil War
The Civil War caused a shortage of whiskey. Not only were many men
drawn from their day jobs to fight in the war, but many battles were
fought in the major American whiskey distilling regions. Major Benjamin
Blanton, who before the war hit it big in the California Gold Rush
and owned a large portion of downtown Denver, Colorado, sold everything
to buy Confederate War Bonds. Those bonds were worthless after
the fall of the South, leaving Blanton broke. Shortly after he opened a
distillery in Kentucky (later the Stagg Distillery), producing Blanton’s
Bourbon Whiskey.
1869: Ripy Family Distillery Opens
Lawrenceburg, Kentucky is home to what was originally called the Ripy
Family Distillery, and what is now Wild Turkey Hill. The Ripys began
a long tradition of bourbon production on the site and their whiskey
was chosen from a list 400 bourbons to represent Kentucky at the 1893
World’s Fair. The distillery is now the home of Wild Turkey Bourbon.
1870: Shipping Revolution
It was in this year that the first jugs of bourbon were shipped from the Ohio River ports. The decision to bottle bourbon was a matter of convenience
for the consumer as jugs were a more attractive and portable vessel than barrels.
1872: A. Ph. Stitzel Distillery Established
It was not until the early 1900’s that the A. Ph. Stitzel Distillery becomes significant in bourbon whiskey’s history. Julian P. Van Winkle, Sr., or “Pappy,”
and a partner acquired the distillery, which was known for its excellent sour mash whiskey. Just before Prohibition, Pappy began producing
Old Rip Van Winkle Bourbon and he later became the oldest active distiller at age 89. During the country’s dry period the Stitzel-Weller Distillery
held one of the few licenses to produce medicinal whiskey, and when the country was once again wet, they produced brands like Old Fitzgerald,
Cabin Still, and Rebel Yell. It was not until 1972 that Pappy’s son, J.P. Van Winkle, Jr., resurrected the original Old Rip Van Winkle brand, which
lives on today.
1920-1933: U.S. Prohibition
The Temperance Movement finally got what they wanted when the U.S. Congress passed the 18th Amendment, prohibiting the manufacture
and sale of alcohol. The entire adult beverage industry was shattered, hundreds of businesses were shut down and many went underground. The
majority of bourbon distilleries were closed, many to never reopen, but a few, like the Samuels and Beam families, came back after the repeal of
Prohibition and resurrected the craft of bourbon distilling. The government issued 10 licenses to produce whiskey for medicine at the time, only
six of which were ever activated. One of those companies was Brown-Forman, which now produces Woodford Reserve Bourbon on the site of the
Prohibition era distillery.
1964: “America’s Native Spirit”
An act of Congress declared bourbon as “America’s Native Spirit” and the country’s official distilled spirit. At this time the current regulations defining
what can be called bourbon whiskey were established.
2004: American Whiskey Trail Launches
The American Whiskey Trail is an educational trip to many of the distilleries and other historical sites in Kentucky, New York, Pennsylvania, Tennessee,
and Virginia, along with two rum distilleries in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. The focus of the continental section of the trail is in
the history of the whiskey distilling business, which has long dominated the area. The trail includes distillery tours of Jim Beam, Jack Daniels, and
Maker’s Mark, along with George Washington’s Distillery at Mount Vernon and the Frauces Tavern where he gave his farewell speech.

his sweating body and; the heat is rolling through in waves of steam. He can hear the rustling sounds
from behind the next thicket. He’s certain he knows what that sound is, and he knows it sounds like
his next meal. His feet haven’t been dry in hours, but he has done what needed to be done. He found
his next meal, and now all that is left is to conquer it. He moves through the knee deep water and

BASE CAMP IN WOODBINE
Take a slow ride down the low country road of 17 into the heart
of South Coastal Georgia and the sleepy little town of Woodbine
emerges. With old cracked sidewalks that could tell a million
stories of generations who walked their paths and a history dating
back before the Civil War, the city is now a base camp for the
creative outdoor gear company, “Burly Man Tactical”. Owner
Nathan Fletcher started his business making innovative customized
attachment systems for duty and tactical belts out of
his home garage in Camden county. His products ranging from
holsters, drop leg platforms, handcuff carriers, sheath covers
and apparel have rapidly become popular items in the outdoor
lifestyle community nationwide. With this quick growth, Burly
Man Tactical needed more than the limited space his home garage
offered. Woodbine was Nathan’s ideal location to build a
base camp office and workshop with the space needed to expand
Burly Man productions. The company offers the most durable
equipment available. Weekend shooters, law enforcement officers,
Veteran Navy Seals, and Black Ops are among their long
client list and it’s all because of the incredible materials paired
with intuitive designs used at Burly Man. The products are like
no other, everything is made right here in the USA from the
plastics to the stitching, which is provided by a Veteran owned
sewing company. Every product has been tested for endurance
by professionals using and abusing the products out in the field
insuring they can handle the toughest of man. With a huge
amount of customization options available like front color/pattern,
back color/pattern, rivet colors, and with or without light
attachments, every product is still made to order with care. The
business anticipates providing dozens of jobs to the community
as it grows, already employing many local residents. Nathan
could have chosen anywhere to establish Burly Man Tactical, but
he chose the heart of Woodbine because he believes in pouring
back into the economy of Camden and investing in the growth
of our cities.

HOME & GARDEN

THE LAST GARDENING
CHORES OF THE YEAR
While most of the garden is getting put to bed, garlic is just getting
started. Planting garlic in the fall may seem a bit backward, it
is the last garden chores of the season. A small amount of preparation
at planting time will give you an abundant garlic harvest
without much effort. Planting garlic in the fall allows the roots
to begin growing. When winter arrives and the ground freezes,
the plants go dormant. Once the soil warms up in the spring, the
garlic will start growing again right where it left off.
Prepare Your Growing Bed:
Garlic thrives in full sun and loose soil. Choose a garden bed that has
not grown anything in the onion family in the past two years and one
that receives an average of at least six hours of sunlight each day. Remove
weeds and spread some slow-release organic fertilizer according
to the package direction.
Add about 2-inches of finished compost and work it in the top 4-6
inches of soil. Plot out your growing bed 4-6 inches in all directions.
Dig your holes about 4-inches deep. If you are using the square foot
gardening method, plot 6 cloves per square.
Divide Your Garlic Seed:
When you purchase garlic seed, you are actually getting heads of garlic.
Garlic is grown from individual cloves. Each clove will grow into a
bulb of garlic. Separate your cloves right before planting. Sort out your
largest and healthiest looking cloves for planting. If you plant the largest
cloves, you will grow larger heads of garlic for next year. Save the smaller
and damaged cloves for cooking.
Plant Your Garlic Cloves:
Plant a garlic clove into each hole, with the flat side down and the
pointy end up. Cover and firm the soil.
Mulch Your Garlic Bed:
Water the garlic bed well after planting and cover with a light layer of
mulch, such as straw or shredded leaves. Aim for about 2-3 inches of
mulch to keep the weeds down until the ground freezes.
After the ground freezes, add another layer of 2-3 inches of mulch to
insulate the soil. This helps prevent the garlic roots from being heaved
out of the ground by alternate freezing and thawing.
Once the soil warms in spring, you will see green garlic shoots growing
through the mulch. If you used an all-purpose organic fertilizer at
planting time, your garlic is off to a great start. Water the garlic bed
during dry spells when the soil feels dry an inch beneath the surface.
Feed with organic fish emulsion fertilizer if the foliage shows signs of
stress (yellow tips). Follow the directions on the bottle.
* If you planted hardneck garlic, you will have an opportunity to harvest
garlic scapes a few weeks before the garlic bulb is finished growing. These
tender, mildly garlic flavored shoots are delicious.*

SIMPLE, SAFE, AND
AFFORDABLE STEPS TO
BOOST YOUR IMMUNE
SYSTEM
Written by Brenda Hall
As soon as the very hint of cool weather arrives, we are virtually bombarded
with ads for “cold and flu season”. In place of stocking up on over the counter
“cures” in your cupboard, let’s not just accept the theory that just because the
season changes, you and your family are “doomed” but plan to just strengthen
your immune system, just in case. After all, the fall and winter season
should be a very uplifting and joyous time! Being a researcher, natural product
business owner, natural life consultant and mom to five, and Mimi to 3,
I would love to share what has worked well for us to maintain good health…
any time of year!
Begin including SEEDS daily as snacks or in your family meals. Chia seeds
are a great choice! Coming from Mexico and Gualtamala, these seeds have
been considered a form of great nutrition since 1500 BC. Traditionally,
they have not only been used in meals, but also recorded as very essential in
folk medicine. These jewels are 20 % protein, 25 % fiber, a great combo because
your average person is low in fiber causing many health issues. In our
country right now fiber is far more important than protein for maintaining
good health. The value of chia seeds for all ages is amazing and they contain
a higher content of calcium, magnesium and potassium than milk. (Animal
milk is not a good choice when taking measures to build a healthy immune
system.) I toss chias in salads, cereal, and smoothies! (and I use them in one
of my natural sugar scrubs!) Chia seeds can also be made into a very nutritional
pudding for the kiddos. There are many seeds which will drastically
improve your immune system, choose now to research their abilities and
include them in your life!
Add berries into your regime…even if you have to buy dried or frozen! As I
type this, I am snacking on some dried Goji berries...worth their weight in
gold, why? Goji berries are considered by many as a true superfood for good
reason. Also called “Woolberries”
I hunt for unsweetened types and they are so nutritional and tasty. I spread
mine on rice cakes!
Asians traditionally recognized the benefits of this fruit for whole body
health. Building the immune system, strengthening eyesight, memory, wonderful
skin, and anti-ageing! The polysaccharides which are in the berries
are thought to actually assist and regulate the immune system. They help it
to ward off germs and infection, but also increasing the immune response
to prevent problems such as certain allergies. Studies involving the elderly
showed a strengthening of the immune system with the addition of the
berries in the diet. Goji berries are stacked with Vitamin C and their super
high Vitamin A content insures better skin...what an added benefit! Dried
Goji berries may be snacked on, add to warm and cold cereals or soaked to
add to smoothies and yogurts. Make or grab some Elderberry Syrup and
take a couple spoonfuls daily, the antioxidants are great! I also purchase
homemade berry jellies at our famers’ markets...even though they are a bit
sweetened, ( you will get far less sugar than processed canned jellies at the
grocery stores, by far! )
Welcome some aromatherapy into your lifestyle! Through candles,
diffusers, oil burners,or a small crockpot use essential oils to kill germs
and boost your immune system! Yep, folks, it’s science. Aromatherapy
through breathing in the essential oil molecules or by massage is one of
the best (and great smelling) means to keep your home cleansed from
yechy microbes that can decrease your immune system and make you
“sick”. On the other hand, chemical fragrances may cause upper respiratory
issues disguising themselves as bad headaches, sinus difficulties,
bronchitis, and other health issues…toss them out! A nice and
affordable recipe for your home diffuser is 4 drops lemon essential oil,
4 drops lavender essential oil, and 2 drops peppermint oil. Many folk
consider Sage burning within the home as witchcraft or some Spiritual
procedure when in fact, burning this lovely will indeed kill germs and
odors. Both white and blue sage are used by many as well as essential
oils to kill airborne creepies in your home when someone had been ill,
etc. Again, this is simple science and proven effective!
Deep Breathing with exercise is essential for a healthy immune system
so…even in cold weather (and you will burn more calories than in
warm weather) get up and get out! You need the negative ions outside,
the oxygenating of your blood stream through deep breathing, and the
movement for preventing osteoporosis, preventing heart disease, and
even some types of cancer. Even only 20 minutes of constant movement
such as walking the dog, will build your immune system and
could cut your chance of cardiovascular disease by up to forty percent!
When you or a family member is sick, get them outside! Even in the
winter, essential vitamin D can be obtained. Stress pulls your immune
system down dramatically whereas exercise and deep breathing will
help eliminate some of that stress. After the exercise, enjoy a very long,
warm, bath. Our culture is so busy that folks, especially men, will not
soak. Soaking promotes circulation and good circulation maintains
and regulates the vital organs. A warm bath preferably with Epsom
salts, massaging the soles of your feet which will help all muscles
and aches could make a world of difference in your mood, sleep, and
health overall.
Purpose now, to guard your sleep. I may have listed this last, but restful
sleep is the number one factor to maintain a strong immune systems.
Folks, this means, no electronics and social media about one
and a half hours before bed. Bathe or read a book (not on electronic
devices) to decompress some. Your body does most of its regenerating
and repair work at night and especially between the hours of eleven
to three a.m. Your room should be dark and cool. I use a fan but some
may use the white noise apps and machines to drown out any outside
noises. Many chronic illnesses could be reversed with proper diet and
proper sleep entirely. Eating before bed may disrupt sleep because
of the digestive process and eating a starch combined with a fat will
definitely do so, and add weight! Strive to get 7 to 8 hours sleep and
you will have more energy and mental clarity during the day. Sleep,
once again, is essential to a good functioning immune system. Your
body must have consistency in its sleep pattern and if you have children,
this will really help them stay well and be able to resist catching
illnesses from those they are around.
Above all, from life experience, 36 years of marriage and parenting, a
person’s food habits will either help you stay well or hinder your good
health. Eat as many plant based foods as possible in your diet and far
less processed empty type foods. Include lots of homemade vegetable
soups including LOTS of garlic and onions! Put on some old comedy
shows and laugh a lot...it’s great for your health!

DESIGN & DECOR

Coastal living at its core embodies an appreciation of nature
in its culture and design. Whether it be in capitalizing
on magnificent views through window placement, creating
comfortable outdoor living spaces under lofty porches, or
simply taking influence from the environment to bring
natural elements into a home design, there are many ways
to make a beautiful coastal home. As a home builder in
Charleston and in South Georgia for almost two decades,
I have seen some of the tried and true elements as well as
some very unique ways to pull together a coastal design.
The most important part of a successful design is to make
it your own.
Embracing natural elements in the paint and finishes is a
great start to getting that traditional coastal style. Gray and
white paint work well, as do other neutrals that enhance
the colors of the trees, sand, water, and sky that is central
to coastal life. Satin nickel is a classic finish choice that is
durable and blends well into other design pieces.
BEAUTIFUL
MUST-HAVE DESIGN ELEMENTS WHEN BUILDING YOUR COASTAL HOME
Watercolor Art by Jo Elliott & Written by David Spencer
To achieve that timeless look throughout the home, consider
bathrooms and backsplashes in white or neutral colors. However,
don’t be afraid to take twists on these traditional elements and
find unique products that make your home reflect to your tastes.
Finding one of a kind sconces and pendants can help make your
home unique without much cost. To find specialty items, utilize
online stores or vintage retailers; don’t feel limited to what is just
in your local hardware store.
Bringing natural wood and metal elements into the design is
another way to achieve a home that blends with its coastal surroundings.
On the exterior incorporating board and batten on
the siding, or shutters, make a home stand out. For windows, the
grid style, three over one, creates a lovely open yet timeless look.
However, consider contrasting colors for something a little more
interesting, for example black windows on a white house give it
an elegant and distinctive look. Metal roofing is another desirable
option, however mixing shingles and metal roofing can be a great
way to save costs and make a house look more customized. For
example, a shingled home with a metal porch can look fantastic.
For natural touches inside the home, consider wood flooring, accent
walls, and other features. Heart pine is the most popular and
classic, but rustic oak and other woods in a character grade look
fantastic and have natural variations to give your home personal
style. Exposed ship lap featured on wainscoting, accent walls, or
bed walls looks wonderful, but this popular feature can be overdone.
Consider accent walls such as bed walls or ship lap wainscoting
to bring the touch into your home. Also, don’t be afraid
to change things around, for example, shifting the placement of
ship lap planks to vertical is an easy way to make your home feel
special. Also exposed rafter tails on a new home and barn doors
with reclaimed wood give the design that rustic look that reflect
the casual culture of life on the coast.

DESIGN IS IN THE
DETAILS
Photo Taylor Dean & Written by Steve Rodgers
After rescuing a historic c1912 house from demolition on a
whim, Mark Mullis and Steve Rodgers opened the doors of
their award-winning design business, The Southern Charmer.
What started as an antique shop offering beautiful hand-selected
antique furniture, quickly transitioned into a full-service
home interiors business. Customers who visited the charming
shop recognized the artistic professional attention to detail
and began requesting personalized decorating help with their
homes. Steve’s obsession with design and Mark’s preference
for handling the business side of the venture, was a perfect
combination for success. The Southern Charmer Interiors recently
celebrated it’s 28 year anniversary offering custom furniture,
re-upholstery, home accessories, and interior design services.
Steve’s eye for detail and love for design started early in
life; as a young adult he assisted his aunt in building her home.
She commissioned an experienced designer from Jacksonville
Florida to furnish and decorate the home’s interior. Steve accompanied
her to most of the appointments, and she relied as
much on his suggestions as she did the hired designer. With his
Aunt always encouraging him to become a designer his love
for design and decor continued to grow into a big dream. It
wasn’t until The Southern Charmer opened many years later
did that dream finally become a reality. Steve’s favorite part of
decorating is in the details. Whilst most people simply coördinate
a picture on the wall and choose a rug that matches their
furniture, true design is found in the smaller details. A professional
designer knows how to artistically blend fabrics for
window treatments and pillows, select trims and wall covers,
partner the perfect shade of paint and accent colors, showcase
with lighting, and artfully arrange furniture placement. Steve
knows the colors, patterns, and textures chosen will make a
world of difference in the finished project. In addition to design,
it’s décor… the accessories that complete a room. The icing
on the cake! These smaller pieces are the details that truly
create a unique living space.

BEFORE
These custom-built cabinets with arched designed
doors fitted with antique mirrors provide ample
storage and at the same time also add drama and
draw light into this living space. The rich wallpaper
in coral shades provides a pop of color to the
walls and sets the mood for a relaxing afternoon
of reading while lounging in the beautiful striped
pattern chairs and custom made round ottoman
covered in cream alligator designed leather. A
green glass chandelier completes the relaxing aura
of the room.

BEFORE
This formal dining room is definitely glamour at its
finest. The transformation is astonishing and showcases
the furnishings with a mix of bold colors,
patterns, and texture. The walls are adorned with
fabric-backed so it could be applied as wallpaper
and framed out to highlight the beautiful goldleafed
cabinets and gold-leafed mirror. The Century
Furniture table has acrylic legs and the rare
gorgeous chandelier is finished in brass and black.

These beautiful built-in cabinets flank the fireplace with
detailed glass doors providing display space while also being
an art design element. Different shades of corals, reds, and
blues are incorporated into the furnishings and draperies
for a welcoming vibe. While designing the room Steve and
the homeowner found and loved the pattern and color of
the wallpaper and commissioned Thibault to transform the
pattern into a custom fabric for the drapes! They frame the
window and stunning views of the homeowner’s waterfront.

A room’s lighting is important and this
beautiful chandelier provides the perfect
light and also acts as a stunning art piece.
Steve designed the window treatments
to camouflage the two different shapes
of the windows. The front window was
arched while the side window was squared
but you would never know that with the
beautifully designed drapes.

The dramatic design of the ceiling sets the tone for this beautiful master bedroom. An upholstered bed is flanked by two mirrored
chests providing storage along with the beautiful detail in the reflection of the mirrors. Solid crystal lamps add to the effect in their
transparency. At the opposite end of the room is a large bayed window with a sitting area to relax and read. Lighting is provided by a
large nickel-plated lamp with twig branch details.

The homeowner desired a bold room and that was definitely provided with these stunning elements. The hand-painted silver-leafed
bed is outfitted with custom bedding in Thibaut fabrics showcased below a hand-painted mural in the same design as the accent pillow
fabric. The rest of the wall space has dark currant grasscloth to provide texture to the master bedroom. On the nightstands are lamps
custom made from antique Murano vases and adorned with one of a kind silver-leafed shades.

Leading from the master bedroom to the master bath is a mirrored
dressing area. In the center are two areas, each created by 3-way
floor to ceiling mirrors. The center area features a beautiful nickel
and crystal chandelier and the floor is designed in polished marble
and accented with a beautiful marble mosaic. The free-standing tub
in the master bath is the focus as you enter the bathroom.
In this area, Steve wanted to add warmth and a textural element to
the already beautifully appointed kitchen. He replaced the boring
pendants above the island with hand-painted lanterns. And, he had a
faux painter transform the plain stove vent hood to an aged copper.

Staging Your Home:
Why It’s So Important
Home staging has become an established real estate
marketing tool, especially in the South. Why? Because
“visual appeal” is important to discerning buyers based
on residential price points in the area. Staging is critical
when you have a vacant home that can come to life with
the right interior furnishings. But it’s equally important
when you have a home being lived in while on the market,
since it can be made more appealing with staging
that helps buyers see themselves living there by removing
clutter, excess furniture and distracting personal items.
Staging helps get buyers in the door
Professional photos for the online listing help draw buyers to your
home, which is the seller’s first goal. It’s hard to get great photos unless
the house has wellplaced furniture and limited excess “stuff ” to
distract buyers’ attention. Staging helps increase the number of
showings and also ensures that the house appeals to all the senses (it
starts by being *sparkling* clean).
Staging solves problem spaces
Each room should show buyers the function of the space, so there’s
no confusion. If your home is vacant and has an open floor plan or
rooms with an unusual shape, buyers may ask “What’s this room
for?” Don’t let them wonder; instead, “show” them how they could
live there by using simple proven staging techniques.
Staging shows buyers what’s important
Another benefit of staging is that proper furniture arrangement and
art placement will help highlight a home’s best features. As an example,
a living room fireplace acts as a focal point in the room and
should be staged with art above it and a few well-chosen items on the
mantle to draw attention to this desirable feature. The fireplace grate
should have stacked logs to lend a welcoming feeling to the room.
High ceilings and wood moldings can be highlighted with correct

art placement. Hardwood floors are also important to show buyers, so rather
than cover them up with large area rugs it’s best to expose them as much as
possible when your home is on the market. These simple staging techniques
will help your home look “move in ready” for buyers.
Consider the buyer’s perspective
Once your home is on the market, it becomes a “product” that needs to appeal
to the target buyer. View your property as a buyer would, not as your
personal home, but one they may see themselves living in. If you make the
house (interior and exterior) and outdoor areas look their best, you greatly
increase your chances for a faster sale at maximum value.

Not Too Soon for End-of-Year Financial
We’ve still got a couple of months until 2019 draws to a close, but it’s not too early to make
some end-of-the-year financial moves. In fact, it may be a good idea to take some of these
steps sooner rather than later. Here are a few suggestions:
• Boost your 401(k) contributions.
Like many people, you might not usually contribute the maximum amount to your 401(k), which, in 2019 is $19,000, or $25,000
if you’re 50 or older. Ask your employer if you can increase your 401(k) contributions in 2019, and if you receive a bonus before
the year ends, you may be able to use that toward your 401(k), too.
• Add to your IRA. You have until April 15, 2020, to contribute to your IRA for the 2019 tax year, but the more you can put
in now and over the next few months, the less you’ll have to come up with in a hurry at the filing deadline. For 2019, you can
put up to $6,000 in your IRA, or $7,000 if you’re 50 or older.
• Review your portfolio.
It’s always a good idea to review your investment portfolio at least once a year, and now is as good a time as any. But don’t make
any judgments based solely on your results over the past 10 months. Instead, look carefully at how your portfolio is constructed.
Is it still properly diversified, or has it become overweighted in some areas? Does it still fit your risk tolerance, or do you find
yourself worrying excessively about short-term price swings? These are the types of factors that might lead you to make some
changes, possibly with the help of a financial professional.
• Don’t forget about your RMDs.
Once you turn 70½, you generally need to start taking withdrawals – the technical term is “required minimum distributions,” or
RMDs – from your traditional IRA and your 401(k) or similar plan. After the first year in which you take these RMDs, you must
take them by the end of each year thereafter. If you don’t withdraw at least the minimum amount (calculated based on your age,
account balance and other factors) you face a penalty of 50% of what you should have taken out – a potential loss of thousands
of dollars. So, take your RMDs before Dec. 31. The financial services provider that administers your IRA or 401(k) can help you
determine the amount you must withdraw.
• Think about next year’s opportunities. It happens to almost all of us: A year has passed, and we haven’t taken the
actions we had planned. So, start thinking now about what you want to do in 2020 from a financial standpoint. Can you afford to
ratchet up your investments in your retirement
plans? If you have children or grandchildren,
have you started saving for college? Have
you considered ways to protect your financial
independence if you ever need some type of
long-term care, such as an extended nursing
home stay? If these or other items are on your
financial to-do list, start planning now to get
them done next year. Time goes quickly – so
don’t get left behind without having taken the
steps to keep moving toward your financial
goals.
