BEA
Bees and Wasps
Bees in their nesting habits are similar to wasps. Bees are fed pollen and honey instead of animal tissue. Bees are most important in the cross pollination process that is vital to fruit orchard, berries, vegetables and flowers. Most bees are solitary nesters. The most prolific of the species are solitary nesters. It has bee studied that inhabit North America are solitary nesters. Honey Bees – Honey bees were first introduced from Europe in the time of the colonial period ad are most importantly insects that pollinate our flowers and fruit crops. They are a major group of bees that are most beneficial to our economic process of the food chain order in how we live. They can also distinguish the smell of any flower or plant by the scent of the nectar given off. They produce honey and make wax from their secretion and are known to be aggressive but can sting if they colony is threatened. Honey bees unfortunately are in decline and should not be disturbed unless absolutely necessary. Carpenter Bees – Carpenter Bees are similar in appearance to bumble bees with the exception of the abdomen that is completely black. The larger of the species, they chew burrows out of wood for nesting with their eggs and then leave those areas after the process is completed. I’ve found that a good pesticide residual applied to the target places can detour them from coming back to their seasonal nesting areas as long as rain and other factors have not disturbed the application of pesticide. Horntail Wasps – Horntail wasps are known as wood wasps and are related to the bee family. Females have a tendency to have a
long projection at the end of the abdomen and this is where the name horntail is derived. They can emerge from lumber used to build homes and deface many finished surfaces by their boring habits. They are normally harmless and do not usually re-infest when treated accordingly. Any and all fire wood should be stored outside of the home as a preventive measure for these types of insects. Mud Daubers – Mud daubers, also commonly called dirt daubers are a large species in the wasp family. They are solitary insects that build their nests of masonry out of dirt and moisture in porch areas, eves and any cornered structure of cavity. Hornets – Hornets are social wasps that are aggressive in their manner and from personal experience I can detest to that from many confrontations with them (ouch)! They can nest in or near building structures. They chew leaves and small bits of wood and fashion their nests to resemble a type of a paper coverall. Yellow Jackets – Yellow jackets mainly nest underground. They can have an entrance tunnel and an exit tunnel as well. When disturbing the nest or hovel they become very aggressive and quickly swarm from both sides of the tunnel. They have a very intense sting as I have experienced also (double ouch)! When dealing with these types I incorporate our rig system and am able to use an extended jet stream application before actually penetrating the nest. This has worked greatly in the total treatment of the pests and reduces the eminent contact with the technician consumer.

In addition we need leaders with actual experience in creating jobs, a commitment to improving our educational system, preservation of our Constitutional rights and promoting strong family values. Two candidates are currently running for the Representative’s seat for District #166, I encourage you to view their respective websites (listed below) and if possible meet with the candidates and ask them about their knowledge, experience and positions on the issues of; the elderly, healthcare, taxes, education, economic development, preservation of Constitutional rights and strong family values….!

Living on Tybee is a tremendous source of pride, joy and comfort to me, my family, friends and neighbors. We are truly blessed, however as the cost of living, taxes, etc. continues to rise, it’s important that we let our minds think beyond the Lazaretto Creek Bridge. We must put petty political prejudices aside and work together to find ways to reduce the escalating cost of government programs and taxes, so that we and our families can continue to afford to live here.

Our grandparents by and large lived in their homes and/or moved in with their children or siblings until they passed on. However our parents generation, when no longer able to care for themselves, were more likely to have moved into an assisted living facility instead of being cared for at home. There are many contributing factors to this change in elderly care, including, but not limited to: (1) LONGEVITY - people are living longer, due in a large part to the advances in medical treatments that have extended the average life-spans. In 1950 the average life spans were; 65.6 male and 71.1 female, in 2008 the averages had increased to; 77.4 male and 82.2. (2) MOBILITY - our generation was much more mobile than our parents and we often relocated away from our hometowns and parents for educational and/or employment opportunities. (3) BUREAUCRACY - the huge government Medicare/ Medicaid bureaucracy, that facilitated the expansion of government sponsored programs, didn’t exist before 1965. History has showed us that institutionalization has not been the most cost effective solution for providing quality care for our elderly and that the government programs have become so expensive and cumbersome that they cannot be sustained, by and for our children and grandchildren, without major reforms. The bloated, ineffective government leadership we have today did not happen overnight and neither will the solutions to the issues of caring for an aging population, their healthcare and quality of life.

Tybee Island Sea Turtle Project
By Tammy Smith • Tybee Sea Turtle Project Coordinator Not sure about you, but I am ready for warmer weather. Spring is close, I can just feel it! With the beginning of spring, myself, the volunteers with the Tybee Sea Turtle Project and the staff at the Tybee Island Marine Science Center are preparing for the upcoming sea turtle season. The 2014 season will begin on May 1 and runs through the end of October. To kick off the 2014 sea turtle season, we will host the 10th Annual Tybee Turtle Trot. It is hard to believe that the little race of 32 participants, started in 2005, has grown to nearly 800 participants by 2013. This year’s event will take place on Saturday, April 26th. For those of you new to the island, the Turtle Trot is a 5K beach run/walk to benefit the Tybee Sea Turtle Project. You can register online at www.active.com/turtletrot. We are currently accepting sponsorships to support our race. Please contact Cody at cody@tybeemarinescience.org for more information. The sponsors play a huge role in helping to organize this event which has grown significantly each year. Sponsors will be recognized at the event, have their name placed on the race t-shirt, receive a complimentary race entry and t-shirt, sponsor names will also be shared on our website and Facebook page. Please contact the center if you wish to sponsor this awesome event. Even if you are not a participant in the Turtle Trot, there will be an opportunity for you to see a live, rehabilitated sea turtle released into the ocean. The turtle release will take place immediately following the race event on the south side of the Tybee Pier. Thanks to the efforts of the Tybee Island Marine Science Center, Dr. Norton and the staff from the Georgia Sea Turtle Center for making this release part of our event once again this year. The Vintage Trailer Tour will be at the Rivers End Campground the weekend of the Trot. They are hosting an open to the public event after the Trot activities. The public event will be open to the public on Saturday, April 26th from 11:30 - 4:00. Public viewing fees are $5.00 per adult and $3.00 per child with all proceeds going to the Tybee Sea Turtle Project. Paid attendees will be required to wear their admittance bracelet to view trailers. As the beginning of the sea turtle season approaches there are a few things that Tybee residents and visitors can do to help our turtles have a safe place to nest. First of all, the beaches must be as dark as possible. Remember that “Sea Turtles Dig the Dark”. Now is the time to check your outdoor and landscape lighting. Those of you closest to the beach, want to make sure that the source of a light cannot be seen from the beach and does not cast a shadow on the beach at night. Also pay attention to window blinds and curtains; these should be closed during the season as close to dark as possible. You would be amazed at how clear a television set or lamp from inside a window can light up a beach and cause shadows. These
shadows will deter an approaching female seeking a place to nest and cause babies emerging from a nest to head in a direction away from the ocean. Investing in a red filtered flashlight is another way to help the turtles. The red filtered light does not deter a nesting mother or emerging baby as much as regular, white light does. An inexpensive way to make a red filter is to take a cheap flashlight and color the lens with a red Sharpie marker, just make sure it is dark enough to show a red tint, not a pink tint. Layering red cellophane and folding it over the lens of a cheap flashlight then securing it with a rubber band is another inexpensive way to make a red filtered flashlight. Tybee is unique in that we are one of the most developed beaches on the Georgia coast, so we have to make an extra effort to keep the beach dark. In addition to keeping the beach dark, make sure you pick up trash that has been left or washed up on the beach, knock down sand castles before leaving the beach, and fill in any holes dug to make sure that our turtles will have a safe place to nest. Thank you for your help as we prepare for the 2014 sea turtle season.

Tybee’s Public Wharf
Last month’s article included the first part of Tybee’s mega ordinance controlling the use of the soon-to-be completed Public Wharf on Back River, passed August 14, 1913, and concluding at the end of Subsection (3) of Section I of the ordinance. Before continuing, it might be helpful to paint you a picture of what the wharf looked like. By the way, the difference between a wharf and a pier is that a wharf is generally parallel to the shore and longer than the runway leading to it, whereas a pier has as its main component a walkway structure perpendicular to the shore and longer than any tee or el at its end. Common vernacular of today refers to both as a dock. Tybee’s Public Wharf was el-shaped, 60 feet long at its front (I could not find its width, but believe it was at least 24 feet) with a 24-foot long by 20-foot wide approach walkway. Did you catch that -- the width of the walkway approach to the wharf was 20 feet! “(4) All freight shall be removed from said wharf within 24 hours of delivery of the same upon the said wharf and no freight shall be allowed to remain on said wharf after midnight on Saturday, and said wharf must be left free and clear of freight during Sunday. “(5) Freight delivered upon said wharf shall be piled and carried to the north side of said wharf, so as to leave a free space for the passage of passengers over said wharf. “(6) Any boat or vessel at said wharf, but not discharging or loading freight or passengers at said wharf must give way to boats or vessels desiring to dock for the purpose of loading or unloading freight or passengers. “(7) All lumber delivered on said wharf shall be immediately removed from same. [No, I don’t know why only lumber was subject to this immediate removal requirement.] “(8) No horse and wagon or dray [a wheel less vehicle for hauling goods – think sled] shall be allowed upon the said wharf, but wagons or drays intending to haul freight to or from said wharf may be moved on the said wharf by hand and moved off in the same manner. “(9) Boats or vessels mooring at said wharf must be tied to cleats or mooring posts, which are provided for said purpose, and under no circumstance shall the hand rails to said wharf be used for this purpose. [If you noticed the photo in last January’s article or have seen the one it was taken from in the entrance to Tybee’s Museum, you will note about a dozen small boats or “fishing bateaus” tied to the handrail of the wharf. Either: 1) The ordinance was repealed or amended, or 2) All the fishermen got a variance from Town Council to tie their boats to the hand rail, or 3) The fishermen violated the ordinance, or 4) The original Public Wharf was replaced some time after the road to Tybee was completed in 1923. I’m going with 4.] “(10) No dynamite or other explosives shall be allowed to be discharged upon said wharf or loaded from said wharf without the express permission of the Mayor of Town of Tybee. [Good luck getting Mayor’s OK to set off a stick or two of dynamite on the 10 No One Covers Tybee Like The Breeze
wharf!] “(11) No trash, filth or debris shall be left or put upon said wharf and every possible means must be made to keep said wharf clean and to protect it from damage. “(12) All persons using said wharf will be held liable for any damage done to the said wharf or its appurtenances by them, their agents, servants, or employees. “(13) No person shall be allowed to bathe [swim] from said wharf. “(14) It shall be the duty of the Chief of Police of the Town of Tybee to enforce the provisions of this ordinance, to direct the movements of boats or vessels at said wharf, and he shall have full power and authority to order boats or vessels in to said wharf and away from the same and to regulate in conformity with the provisions of this ordinance the passage of freight and passengers on said wharf. “Section II - Be it further ordained that any person violating the provisions of this ordinance shall be liable to a fine upon conviction in the Mayor’s Court of said Town of Tybee, in a sum not exceeding $100.00 and imprisonment for a time not to exceed 30 days, either or both, in the discretion of the Court. “Section III – Be it further ordained that all ordinances or parts of ordinances in conflict with this ordinance are hereby repealed.” Whew!! While very comprehensive and easy to understand, had Tybee Town asked me to draft the rules, I would have suggested a shorter version along the lines of: “Anyone using the wharf must apply common sense and be nice to other users or otherwise face the wrath of the Chief of Police and Mayor.” With adoption of the wharf ordinance, governmental business on Tybee Island for 1913 finally came to a close. The first meeting of Council in 1914 will take place at noon on January 16 and I’ll be there to report it. Bernie Goode has been writing for the Breeze for eight years.

Tybee Island Maritime Academy says
Thank You!
Thank you to all who Participated in, contributed to, and attended the 6th Annual Spelling Bee.
Thanks to Our Sponsors:
Congratulations to the TIE-BEES (Mike, Bryan and Liz Daly and Lisa Callahan) who won the 6th Annual Spelling Bee. It was a wonderful event. Thanks to all who helped make it such and to all who entered! The teams were awesome and the fun continued throughout the night. Second place winner was the All Saint’s Saints! Third place and Best Costume winner was The Citee Counsil. Most spirited team was the Beach Chair Brigade Braniacs! First Out winner was the Community Pool. Other fabulous teams were: the Ladies Auxiliary Bookworms, the North Beach Grill School of Fish, The Tybrarians, and the Huc a Poo Scholars! Thank you for helping to make this a great event. The Tybee Island Maritime Academy has had a wonderful beginning thanks to the fantastic principal, Mr. Patrick Rossiter, the excellent teachers, a dedicated governing board, an energetic and wonderful group of parents, and the fabulous, generous citizens of Tybee Island. Charter schools are public schools. They do receive funding from the state and local government. In the Savannah –Chatham County School System (SCCPSS), we receive a flat rate per student based on our 10th day enrollment. So if we have openings after the 10th day of school and the student comes, we do not receive funding for that student. This is not how regular public schools are funded. They are funded based on an FTE (Full Time Equivalent) count that takes place in October and March of each year, so new students are funded throughout the year. We were very fortunate to receive the grant that enabled us to buy much of the needed furniture, technology, and security systems. Charter Schools pay for their buildings (in our case it’s a monthly rent), the furniture, supplies (instructional and custodial), technology, textbooks, software, assessments, utilities, as well as the personnel out of the per pupil allotment. We could not exist without the support we have been receiving. Start-up costs are very expensive. After the third year, we should be become more settled as we won’t be adding classrooms (which involves adding furniture, technology, etc.). For the 2014-2015 school year, we plan to have the following classes: 3 kindergartens, 2 first grades, 2 second grades, 2 third grades, 2 fourth grades, and 1 fifth grade. We had our first lottery on March 4 and we have a waitlist. Kindergarten, for example, had 65 children apply for admission and we accepted 51 with a waitlist of 14. Please visit our website at www.tybeeislandmaritimeacademy. com and become our friend on Facebook. Thank you for your support for the students and the school. —Carolyn Jurick

Experience Luxury, Oceanfront Style Oceanfront Cottage got off to an early start when Suzanne Painter/Georgia Seminars by the Sea arrived in late February. Then we enjoyed a fabulous Mardi Gras, Irish Heritage Parade and our float moved to downtown for the “big” St. Patrick’s Day Parade! April is here and finally the weather welcomes all of us to our beautiful island’s out of doors! Visitors are finally enjoying our beach and it is great to see our friends out of doors working in their yards or riding bicycles. Tybee is lovely this time of year. Our season is looking good regarding vacation rentals. That is good news because these Guests certainly contribute to our island’s economy. At Oceanfront we promise to work with the Guests and try to inform them that “we live here” and be good neighbors! If you have any problems with our Guests, please call us immediately 912-786-0054. We want to be a good influence for Tybee and our Guests need to be respectful of our neighborhoods. Lannie and I are looking forward to getting out on the water and checking out the creek, estuaries and
meeting our friends “at the sand bar”… this has become our Tybee ritual. We love those afternoons when we can just kick back and relax. This is the time of year that we can jump in our little boat and go for a great meal on the water at AJ’s Dockside… our neighbor by water! We are offering a “local’s” discount. If you have friends and family coming in from out of town please let us know. Also, our military discount continues through the season (not just off season) to show appreciation for our military and their families. Through mid May we are also offering a free night for dates where the vacation occurs until mid May with a 3 night minimum get the 4th night free special. Let’s see you at Tybee’s Mix and Mingle on Wednesday, April 16, 5-7 at Tybee Wedding Chapel. Spring has sprung and we are thrilled! —Stacye, Lannie and the Oceanfront Team www.oceanfrontcottage.com 800-786-5889

& Grand Ballroom Tybee Wedding Chapel’s new ballroom is complete and we hosted our second event, one for the brides and grooms to preview the venue. It was a huge success. Ray Anaya, Director of Events for the chapel, hand selected caterers, Amy Harvey did the beautiful styling and flowers. Thank you, Ray, for an exceptional event. Carla, his exceptional assistant, was just beautiful while showing the brides, grooms and their families the venue. We are happy to host Tybee Mix and Mingle on April 16, Wednesday, from 5-7 at the ballroom and welcome you to come and tour our venue and join in the party! Again, I cannot express our heartfelt thanks to Anthony Sapone and his fabulous crew, Catskill Builders, for their tireless work to complete the majority of this huge project in just 97 days (and nights). Lannie, thank you for working so hard and spending so many hours to make sure that this ballroom got completed. Our vision was to have the addition look as if it had always been a part of the original plan. We have 52 weddings scheduled for 2014. We have already enjoyed a fabulous 15 day event with our dear friend, Suzanne Painter/Georgia Seminars by the Sea. She was our first Guest and those artists had a wonderful time. The weather even cooperated. The Tybee Wedding Chapel has now become a conference center with complete audio/video package that sinks from one room to 2 others. Our friend, Michael Gaster, was instrumental in the planning and installation of the extensive audio/video system. Thank you, Michael! 16 No One Covers Tybee Like The Breeze

To Go Order
By Judy O’Neill
Always the entrepreneur, I have an idea for a new business. I feel that most women I know, and maybe a few men, would really appreciate this service that someone…not me, I’m just the idea girl…should start immediately. You know how if your car is having one of those rebellious moments and you’re stranded on the road somewhere, you can call road service to send a TOW truck? What I want is to be able to call a special number and get a TO GO truck. I don’t mean as in food delivery. I mean as in a restroom on wheels. A nice air conditioned, luxurious restroom.

There’s nothing worse than traveling and seeing a sign saying that you just missed the absolute last “convenience” stop for the next two thousand miles. Because, you know, right then, you’ll have “to go” even though it hadn’t crossed your mind for miles and miles. My friends know that I’m acquainted with every usable lady’s room in Chatham and the surrounding counties. But what happens when I’m traveling like to Pogitaligo or Podunk in unfamiliar territory? That’s when I need to be able to call the To Go Truck. Of course, it could have a more attractive name like Blessed Relief or Wheeled Comfort or Powered Powder Rooms. Since I’m on the To Go subject, I have one other suggestion…remember, I’m the idea girl so when these ideas pop into my brain, I feel compelled to share. I think every hotel room should have a bath and a half. If you’re travelling with a companion (aka husband in my case) ONE bathroom is not enough. Invariably, HE needs to go anytime I’m in the one bathroom. So, those of you looking for the next great thing, go forth and design this “to go” vehicle. I’ll be thinking of creative names for it, so call me. Let’s see…Rescue Loo, Johnny on the Spot, Wheels of Thrones, Hold It!? Excuse me, I gotta go.

Sons of the american legion American Legion Post 154 Tybee Island
Doug Grunwald, SAL Commander
At each and every Legion or Sons of the American Legion or Auxiliary meeting, our national flag holds an honored place. The Flag Code gives specific guidelines: DISPLAYING THE FLAG INDOORS When on display, the flag is accorded the place of honor, always positioned to its own right. Place it to the right of the speaker or staging area or sanctuary with its staff in front of the other flag. Also, other flags should be to the left. The flag of the United States should be at the center and at the highest point of the group when a number of flags of states, localities, or societies are grouped for display. When displaying the flag against a wall, vertically or horizontally, the flag’s union (stars) should be at the top, to the flag’s own right, and to the observer’s left. WEARING OF FLAG PIN Because the flag is considered a living entity, a flag pin should be worn on the left lapel near to the heart. PARADING AND SALUTING the FLAG When carried in a procession, the flag should be to the right of the marchers. When other flags are carried, the flag of the United States may be centered in front of the others or carried to their right. When the flag passes in a procession, or when it is hoisted or lowered, all should face the flag and salute. THE SALUTE To salute, all persons come to attention. Those in uniform give the appropriate formal salute. Citizens not in uniform salute by placing their right hand over their heart and men with cover should remove it and hold it to the left shoulder, hand over heart. Members of organizations in formation salute upon command of the person in charge. THE PLEDGE of ALLEGIANCE and NATIONAL ANTHEM The pledge of allegiance should be rendered by standing at attention, facing the flag, and saluting. When the national anthem is played or sung, citizens should stand at attention and salute at the first note and hold the salute through the last note. The salute is directed to the flag, if displayed, otherwise to the music. THE FLAG in MOURNING To place the flag at half-staff, hoist it to the peak for an instant and lower it to a position half way between the top and bottom of the staff. The flag is to be raised again to the peak for a moment before it is lowered. On Memorial Day the flag is displayed at halfstaff until noon and at full staff from noon to sunset. The flag is to be flown at half-staff in mourning for designated, principal government leaders and upon presidential or gubernatorial order. When used to cover a casket, the flag should be placed with the union (stars) at the head and over the left shoulder. It should not be lowered in to the grave. MAY SHE WAVE OVER THE LAND OF THE FREE AND HOME OF THE BRAVE The Sons of the American Legion continue to have our fish dinners on the third Thursday and our Low Country Boil on the fourth Thursday. We truly appreciate your support of these fund raisers.
U.S. Flag Code Standards of Respect: The dictionary defines respect as “an act of giving particular attention, a high or special regard, the quality or state of being esteemed, considered worthy of high regard, to have reverence, and to refrain from interfering with.” An older definition is “to look back.” Synonyms are: admiration, honor, high opinion, consideration, and “to value.” These are appropriate concepts as relating to our attitudes and behaviors toward the United States Flag. Even the older definition “to look back” provides insight as the story of our flag embodies our history. Our reverence for our flag is justified by past and present sacrifices for freedom and liberty. Retiring Old Flags: “The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem of display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning.” (The United States Flag Code) In many American communities, one or more organizations render an important community service by collecting and overseeing the proper disposal of old, worn, tattered, frayed and/or faded U.S. Flags. (The American Legion). For more information on Proper Flag Etiquette go to www.americanflags.org

What ’s Cookin’ Katie’s First Chicken Pot Pie from Scratch
My granddaughter Katie, at age 10, has already had years of experience with and exposure to all things food and all things kitchen. Of course eating is a given, but learning ingredients, herbs, spices, seasonings, meats, carbs, veggies and certainly ingredients for desserts. She has basically grown up constantly around kitchens, home and restaurant and what goes on and who does it. Before she could walk or talk I would take different herbs from our garden and crumble them under her nose and tell her the names, basil, mint, parsley, herbs that were simple and distinct. Soon she would sit beside me in her high-chair and watch food being prepared (including hers) and I could see her interest in everything wonderful in the kitchen. As she learned how to talk it seemed that all of these kitchen things had their own names, she started learning to utter them right away, and they seemed to be part of a magical story. As she learned to stand and walk, she still wanted to be with me while I would cook. So we bought her a stool that would put her where she could see and touch and let her closely watch how things were prepared and assembled. She loved all of the tasting and smelling and started to show an interest in wanting to help. It seems like no time at all that she became my little chef apprentice. She would help stir, add measured ingredients, go to the garden and get herbs and any little things that were safe for her to do. Well before I knew it she really wanted to make something herself that she could taste and compare. So, it was time to really give her some independence and a little area next to me that was hers. I gave her some small pots and some safe utensils and started teaching her how to go about putting together a real recipe. She was so cute with her little apron, chef’s toque and towel over the shoulder. All that said she really learned essentials quickly. She became aware of cleanliness, hot things, sharp things and respect for equipment and safety. Soon I started teaching her knife skills (with a table knife of course), how to position your hand on what you are holding, to be safe and not cut yourself. Then we moved to measurements, and “mis en place” (having all of your ingredients and equipment ready before starting a recipe). Then how to read and write a recipe to use as a guide. Soon she was making her own soups and broths using all of the real-deal ingredients to make something that was actually tasty, completely on her own....cutting carrots, celery etc. adding tied herb bundles, spices and the right amount of liquid and placing on the stove with the right amount of heat, or as she has learned BTB and RTS, bring to boil and reduce to simmer. I could keep going with this little biography of this little chef’s apprentice but will sum it up by saying, she came to me and said that she wanted to make a real meal from a recipe all by herself. I thought, what a great idea, and decided on a large chicken pot pie. This is what she did mostly (95%) by herself. When I tasted this and it was so delicious, proud hardly covers it! 22 No One Covers Tybee Like The Breeze
with Chef Espy Ingredients:
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter 1 large shallot, finely chopped 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme 1/3 cup Wondra or all purpose flour, plus a little extra for surface 3 cups low sodium chicken broth 1 cup whole milk Salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste 6 small carrots, peeled and chopped 4 cups coarsely chopped or shredded chicken meat (from one rotisserie chicken, lemon pepper) 1 1/2 cups frozen pearl onions, thawed 1 1/2 frozen peas, thawed 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat leaf parsley Hot sauce Worcestershire sauce 1 sheet frozen puff pastry (one 14oz. pkg. or half of 17.3oz. package), thawed in refrigerator 1 large egg, beaten to blend Preparation: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Heat butter in large skillet over medium heat. Add shallot and thyme and cook, stirring often, until shallot is translucent and golden, about 4 mins. Add 1/3 cup flour and cook, whisking constantly, until mixture is a pale golden and smells like popcorn, 5-8 minutes. Whisk in broth 1/2 cupful at a time, incorporating completely before adding more. Whisk in milk; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, whisking occasionally, until mixture is thick enough to coat a spoon, 10-15 minutes. Add carrots and cook until just tender, about 5 minutes. Mix in chicken, onions , peas, and parsley; season with hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper. Transfer mixture to shallow 2 qt. baking dish (casserole). Unfold pastry and gently roll out on a lightly floured work surface just to smooth the creases and make large enough to fit over dish, if needed. Drape over baking dish and trim pastry so it is slightly larger than dish (you want a little overhang). Brush with egg and make 2 or 3 slits in the pastry with a sharp knife. Place baking dish on a rimmed baking sheet (to catch any filling that may drip over) and bake until golden brown and filling is bubbling through slits in pastry, 20-25 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake until pastry is deep golden brown and cooked through, 30-35 minutes longer. Let sit 10 minutes or longer before serving. She served by itself and it was scrumptious, seconds were a must! Making this meal from start to finish gave Katie a sense of how much time and work goes into making a meal and the satisfaction of making something so delicious on her own (with very minimal assistance). Hope you enjoy as much as we did. Little Chef’s Apprentice Katie

17th Annual
Tybee Tour of Homes For seventeen years now, generous citizens of Tybee allow hundreds of curious visitors to walk through their home, all in the name of charity. This year’s tour is no different. Our little island’s tour of homes has raised over $200,000 these past years, and three local organizations will benefit once again. They are our new school, the Tybee Island Maritime Academy TIMA), our food pantry the Rising TYde, and our summer sleep-away camp for children, the Fresh Air Home. Each of these many years the tour has been unique. Never has a home been duplicated in seventeen tours. A true testament to the people of Tybee, who open their homes in this manner. This year we have nine properties, including two condominiums for the first time. Seven of these homes are occupied by full time residents. All of them are decorated in the style of island living, some quirky like Tybee, others very stylish. Docents in each home tell the stories of the properties history or of the renovation to bring the property back to life. The tour usually takes place the first Saturday in June. This year it is June 7th. Many people plan their vacations around the date, making sure that the tour is one local activity they cannot miss. We have repeat costumers, year after year. We have come to know them and look forward to seeing them each year at our luncheon. As always, a delicious lunch, prepared by our own committee, is included in the ticket price. Tickets are available using Paypal on our website, tybeeislandtour.com or at The Gallery by the Sea. They cost $40 before June 7th and $45 the day of the tour. The Tybee Tour of Homes committee and the organizations we are supporting are hoping that you will come and enjoy this years tour. Rain or shine, from 10am-4pm visit some old Tybee friends or make new ones. We know that you will enjoy the day. 24 No One Covers Tybee Like The Breeze

Stuart Charles Liles Sunset - March 5, 2014 I am deeply saddened by the loss of my dear friend Stuart. Stuart was not only s friend to all on Tybee but was a close personal friend to me. Stuart and I had many talks over the years on the Lighthouse Inn Porch with his beloved wife Susie. In those years I learned about one of Stuarts many successful businesses, one as an owner of a publishing company. I also learned that Stuart was highly knowledgeable in many aspects of business affairs and just the same soft spoken, kind, and humble in his demeanor that affected everyone around him. His church congregation was very blessed with his vocal talent for many years. We are all very fortunate to have known Stuart. I will always cherish what Stuart gave to me and everyone of us.

Aries (March 21 - April 19) Take time out to consider your options; climb a mountain, dig your own grave. When aiming for greatness, set your sights to “better than greatness”...and when you fail like a miserable sh*t, you’ll at least be able to blame it on trying too hard. Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Bowie is like you are: gentile, robust, always ready to pop back in the charts by providing backing vocals to pretty much any old schmuck. The similarities between you and Bowie are pretty much endless. The darkness you experience when you close your eyes might be accompanied by a low demonic growl today. Act daft today, help people close to you smile, and feel the healing power of laughter. Gemini (May 21 - June 20) A new love will present itself today, grab it with both hands, in all possible places. The stars indicate that it is a good month to party like it’s 1999. Cancer (June 21 - July 22) Dentist’s teeth are not always as great as you’d think. Next time you’re in the chair, instead of looking at the ceiling or down the nurses’ top, have a good look inside the dentist’s mouth. You’ll be surprised, shocked and either intimidated or aroused. You may find that you have to see out most of the day with only one eye to guide you. Today is not your lucky day. It’s tomorrow instead! So that’s something to look forward to whilst your picking up your teeth with your broken arm. Leo (July 23 - August 22) Don’t let others stifle your creativity. It’s alright to make paintings out of their droppings. Your talents dictate that you will not go so far. Your prejudices may lead you astray today and leave you requiring four or five stitches. Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Scroll further down any web pages you access today, just in case there are hidden clauses you aren’t aware of. Hell has a new master and he’s coming for you! Wednesday may be sunny. We having a saying here in Texas: “Kill a man and he’s dead. Teach a man to fight and he can kill...stuff” Shame on me. Shame on you. Libra (September 23 - October 22) Your “rustic charms” are not an excuse for being smelly and dirty. Raisins are a lovely dried up fruit. However, the old man who runs the hairdressers down the road, is not. God may try to speak to you today through a kitchen appliance. Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) Cats are your “animal of the day”, which is a new one on us. We always thought cats were the evil creatures who sit on other people’s doorsteps and hiss at you when you walk past. I mean, don’t get us wrong, we like cats but there are some that just “ain’t right” - you know, the ones that stare at you as though staring at fourth-rate scum on an armadillo’s backside. Anyway, that’s by-the-by because cats are absolutely the best thing that could happen to you today. Although with the day you’re going to have, you’ll need all the help you can get. Oh sorry, here I am rattling on about cats when you’re in mortal danger! Sorry, run out of space now to tell you all the details - I’ll let you kn... If you lose money today you can be assured that the nature of human kindness will mean you never see it again. This is because today the nature of human kindness is to be as mean as an old woman the day before pension day. Scraping the bottom of the barrel is always a sad affair, especially if it’s the biscuit barrel. Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Mouldy coffee cups may not be breeding the penicillin you hope they are. Liven up your day by putting party balloons all around your desk. Don’t trust little birdies, they’re renounded liars. Capricorn (December 22 - January 20) Fire is a hazard you won’t want to ignore this week, so watch out for those big conflagrations! Today may seem like an extraordinary opportunity to get even with the world, but the world may have different ideas. Much of what you believe now will later be shattered by an obnoxious man who will probably wear glasses and have a distinct lisp. Aquarius (January 21 - February 18) Presenting yourself with home-made cardboard awards is probably not the sanest way to go about giving yourself a morale boost. Today’s mishaps will come in the shape of a toad, whilst salvation will come in the shape of a large truck. There’s a future in toad-jam, by the way, if you’re at all interested. It tastes lousy but makes a really good insect repellent. Do what you feel is right in your heart. Pisces (February 19 - March 20) One part love, one part hate. This is a recipe for your life. Watch out for overweight dogs when it’s raining.
