EARTH DAY IN SAVANNAH The is the month I celebrate Earth Day and My Birthday! Each year for the past few birthdays I have spent a few days in the Georgia forest. My alone time with Mother Earth is so rejuvenating. It’s also easy to forget how important it is to spend time in Nature. Of course, here in Savannah just going to the grocery store can be like a drive through a national forest! We are really fortunate to be surrounded by so many nature’s gifts: water, air, trees, food, animals, fish, bees, the list could go on. The other cool aspect about the gifts from Earth is they are here for everyone to enjoy. As recipients of such gifts, I believe we should honor the planet. There are many ways you can show your respect. If you are someone who is tired of filling up our landfills with our plastic waste, curious on new energy sources, or wanting get your hands dirty in the soil - then you have something in common with many others who are taking action. You will have the opportunity to meet them at this year’s Earth Day Festival, Saturday, April 18. Earth Day is a day where we honor and celebrate the place EVERYONE calls home. Our home needs our protection. Something that is confusing to me is how people can easily dismiss that the Earth is not being affected by some industries. At the last Green Drinks, I chatted with Vicki Weeks and Karen Grainey about a 5-year plan that the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management has to open the Atlantic coast to oil and gas development. They are presenting a resolution to the City Council to sign that opposes this action. Tybee Island City Council passed this resolution this past January along with many other cities/towns along the East Coast. We can end our dependence on dirty power by using clean, safe, and affordable renewable energy. The energy sectors that have demonstrated the most dramatic job growth are the wind, solar, and energy efficiency. In fact, every dollar invested in clean energy creates three times as many jobs as every dollar invested in oil and gas. According to the Department of Energy and National Renewable Energy Lab, Georgia could generate more than 20,000 new jobs by developing just a small 1,000 mw portion of our state’s offshore wind energy resources. Of all the Atlantic Coast states, Georgia has the fourth largest potential for offshore wind energy development. There are lots of ideas on how to be more sustainable and ways to protect our planet. Is there just one solution? No way! This is why it is so important for people to work together and find common goals to collaborate on. What’s our common goal? A Healthy Planet! If you are interested in getting involved with keeping our land, air, sea and creatures healthy, please join us at this year’s Earth Day Festival. You will leave inspired and ready to take action.

The Savannah Earth Day Festival is brought to you by:

with support from:

Since Earth Day started in 1970, largely as a response to the cumulative effects of industrialization reaching a critical point in our environment, it has become a day for our community to remember how we effect our planet and each other with the choices we make in our everyday lives. It’s a day to open our eyes to new issues, open our minds to new solutions, and to celebrate— celebrate the good work being done in around us, and the almost 10,000 of our neighbors who turn out in a show of hope for our community’s path for the future. So much in our city looks back at the past, at the ingenuity and leadership of those who built Savannah. Earth Day is when we turn that perspective to the future and support and learn from those sources of ingenuity and leadership around us today, who are committed to creating a sustainable community that will thrive today, and tomorrow. Environmentalism is more than ’10 Easy Tips’ or a political agenda, or a bumper sticker—it’s demanding our children have a healthy place to grow, our businesses will have the resources they need in the future, and the ecosystems we live amongst flourish. It’s with this in mind that every spring we invite the city to come together to open dialogues and build partnerships between citizens, non-profits, businesses, and government that will benefit us all. For the past 12 years the City of Savannah, along with our community partners, have been hosting a free Earth Day event for the public. It has become the largest public Earth Day event in the state and remains one of the few earth day festivals left in the country that truly focus on education rather than just crafts and entertainment. Earth Day Savannah offers a little something for everyone—from those familiar with the issues, to those just starting to learn. With workshops for adults and kids and nearly 100 exhibiting organizations, you’ll find ways to connect and make change.

Composting: Food Full Circle by Chantel Britton

Hailing from Richmond Hill, Army Aviation Officer Lieutenant Colonel Gary Morea has been proudly serving his country for the past 23 years. And, incidentally, he’s been serving his garden for the past 9 months with a rich heap of good old, self-made compost. LTC Morea started his garden three years ago and recently discovered the resourceful world of composting, which has revolutionized both his perception and handling of food and yard waste. “Many people talk about the importance of using good compost, so I finally looked into it,” LTC Morea began, “Basically, it’s just a big pile of stuff!” Realizing how easy composting could be, the colonel took to his yard and built up an area designated for food peels, coffee grinds, grass clippings and other organic waste materials that would usually have gone straight to the garbage. He feels good about being less wasteful, and his family is in full support. Composting has benefitted the Morea household in a number of ways, but what the colonel appreciates the most is the fact that it doesn’t take much: “I didn’t really put a penny into it. . . I used scrap stuff that I already had, and that’s what I think composting is really all about . . . using what you’ve got to put back into the earth.” Katherine Arntzen, Armstrong State University photographer, moved to Savannah twelve years ago and has been avidly composting since 2009. Like LTC Morea, Arntzen was introduced to composting through gardening. “Composting has made more of a complete cycle in my household,” she began, “I don’t have as much trash to throw out . . . it’s not stinking up my kitchen or my trashcan. It’s out in the yard going back to nature.” For Arntzen, variety is the spice of life, and her eclectic compost mix features everything from vegetable scraps and eggshells to meat bones and brush. Harmony is essential to composting; it’s all about keeping the right balance. “The compost processes better when there’s a variety of materials,” said Arntzen. -Continued on Next Page wellf edsava nna h. c om | 17

A veteran composter herself, Arntzen has a few words of advice for individuals who are looking to get started: “If you’re just beginning composting, don’t worry about going and buying some expensive composter. You can just make a pile in your yard and keep mixing new stuff in. You don’t have to have any fancy gadgets.” And it really is just that simple. Composting at its core is merely taking organic waste material from your household, putting it in a compost bin or pile, and letting nature do its job breaking that material down into a thriving, nutrient-rich soil that you can use for your own garden. But what if you don’t have a garden? No worries. Essentially everyone who eats, regardless of whether or not they garden, can compost. Even if you personally have no practical use for the compost, there are plenty of local community gardens that can benefit from your organic waste. Your yard debris and food waste don’t have to end up in the trash. You don’t have to keep contributing to landfills. Well FED Compost can show you a better way. Compost guru Andy Schwartz of Grow.Eat. Repeat. has teamed up with Well FED Savannah to produce Well FED Compost, a public education and commercial composting service designed to reduce waste and promote the use of our own available resources. “Creating that awareness is what we’re really concerned about,” said Schwartz. Started just over a year ago,

Well FED Compost is already servicing a growing list of popular local restaurants that include Green Truck Pub, Foxy Loxy, 22 Square, The Florence, The Sentient Bean, Cha Bella, Alligator Soul and The Grey are all reducing their food waste with Well FED Compost. They provide these restaurants with bins to store their organic food waste, and Schwartz, in his custom bike trailer, collects the bins every week. The waste is turned into compost, a soil amendment, that is used to grow fruits, vegetables and herbs. Through a partnership with Victory Gardens, some of the restaurants have their own raised beds where the soil amendment will be used to grow produce that the restaurants will prepare in their kitchens. It’s a full circle concept. Each week, Schwartz collects approximately 60 – 75 gallons of food waste per restaurant, which amounts to almost 14,000 pounds of food waste collected from just one establishment each year, waste that in lieu of deteriorating in a landfill is used to grow locally-sourced food. While the composting service is limited to businesses for now, pretty soon Well FED Compost will expand their services to the public. The expansion is already underway with the option for personal consultations. Schwartz will come out to your location and help you get started. “I will show up and see if this is something you could do at your house, or if you’re close enough to a community garden, we can link you up with those people. That way you’re doing what you feel is right for the environment while making it as easy as possible for you,” he explained.

Research is an important part of the initiation process. Figuring out what kind of composting practice best suits you is key. Whether you want to make a compost pile or feel more comfortable using a tumbler or would prefer to have Well FED Compost collect your food waste and transport it to a local community garden, getting informed is the best way to get into composting. Schwartz expressed, “Once you make the decision that you want to stop throwing food into the landfill, you just say ‘I’m not going to do that anymore’ and you figure out a better way.” Schwartz is passionate about composting and its environmental impact. “Roughly 60% of what’s in a landfill can be composted . . . leaves, grass, brush, paper products, and the largest component, food waste,” he began, “If we’re keeping those materials out of the landfill, we’re [reducing] the production of methane gas, which is very harmful to the environment. . . The landfills also produce toxins that seep into our water system.” Well FED Compost is working hard to help reduce our local carbon footprint, all the while introducing the community to a practice that is mutually beneficial to the both residents and the environment. Believing that community education is the key, Schwartz is hoping to team up with the local school system to reach and teach kids about the benefits of composting. “Breaking into the schools is going to be a really big thing because teaching these kids the importance of composting will get them excited about it, taking it home to their parents, to their neighborhoods. We’re hoping to have a nice ripple effect,” Schwartz added.

One of the most recent ways that Well FED Compost is plugging into the community is through a donation to the Chatham County Health Department. Last year, the Health Department installed raised garden beds to grow fruits and vegetables right there on the grounds. This is just the first step in expanding access to fresh produce for their clients and staff. A portion of the harvest is used in the teaching kitchen, where nutritionists show families how they can incorporate fresh fruits and vegetables into their meals easily. They also hold a healthy recipe drawing that allows staff to make nutritious meals at home. The person whose recipe is drawn that week gets a share of the garden’s bounty.This season, they will be offering fresh products from the garden to clients who participate in nutrition education sessions. Well FED Compost recently supplied some of their compost for the topsoil of those garden beds. “Our product is very rich and alive and it’s going to sustain those beds throughout the years,” Schwartz adds, “We think of the Health Department as a place that’s not just somewhere to get immunizations, to sit in an office and wait for paperwork. We want it to be a place where people think ‘this is health’ . . . [and] at the most basic sense your health boils down to what you’re eating and the lifestyle you’re living. In a way, that’s what composting is all about.”

Forests are not Fuel by Coco Papy Janisse Ray, activist, writer and neighbor from about fortyfive minutes south of here, once said, “I want to stress that I do not act because I have hope. I act whether I have hope or not. It is useless to rely on hope as motivation to do what’s necessary and just and right.” A simple testament to the challenges that Ray and really, any activist has faced in advocating for the Georgian environment, a place that prime for the most beautiful spoils you have ever seen and a place that is rampantly exploited for those same spoils. Therein lies the woe of the southern forests – a moneymaking venture, where you trade beauty for profit. Not only is Georgia one of the world’s largest sources of pulp and paper, but also it’s our second largest export. Our southern forests are beautiful – no one would dare argue with that. But even taking a step back from the beauty, southern forests are necessary and vital to the sustainability of our home. Climate change, erosion and water pollution – think of the forests as the most natural Britta filter you’ve ever seen – not to mention a critical plant and animal habitat. But unfortunately, the issue isn’t that people can’t recognize the beauty and good of it. It’s that the profit margin is too damn good.

(Pictured above: Woodchips being transported for use by the biomass industry. ) This is how I find myself at an internal meeting of organizers from the Dogwood Alliance, a grassroots organization dedicated to protecting southern forests specifically from the use of biomass, which, if you are wondering what such a thing may be, is that pulpy material from southern forests that offers an alternative to coal, harvested at a higher than normal rate for exportation to Europe for their energy needs. Dogwood’s goal is to shift the influence of using biomass throughout the industry, as well as place pressure on everyone from local government to the EU for actual sustainable, green practices. While Dogwood has been based primarily out of Asheville since about 1996, it is only in the past year that they have expanded to a Savannah chapter, hitting the ground running with the Our Forests Aren’t Fuel campaign, which specifically pushes for “green” alternative and competitive energy sources like solar and wind while pressuring companies to end their reliance on biomass. It’s a campaign that hits especially close to home since Savannah is major port for biomass, exporting more biomass than any state in the world.

Here’s where things get tricky – why the hubbub over biomass? Do a quick search in Google and what you’ll get back doesn’t seem all that bad. Biomass is stated to reduce overall carbon emissions. It’s part of the part of the terrestrial carbon cycle, destroys urban wood waste – the phrase “clean energy” seems tacked on to everything you might find. Yet, if there is something one must always keep in mind, is that it’s not what you say, it’s how you say it. Biomass is “clean energy”not “green energy”. You can gather to assume which is the one that offers the lesser evil solution to a world that demands more and more to keep sustaining a lifestyle and one saying that we have to change our lifestyle all together. In fact, we have to change just about everything. “Deforestation is the third largest cause of carbon pollution just behind cars and power plants”(Forest Not Fuel Fact Sheet), to which one is wondering, wait, I thought biomass was the residue. Yesthat is true, except that for European policy makers to meet required EU “clean energy” targets, there is a high demand for biomass. More biomass means that while we once targeted the leftovers, biomass is now an industry in itself, leading to full on scalping and deforestation. “When I think of clean or green energy, I think solar panels and wind millsa source that will always be there” says Rita Frost, lead organizer of the Savannah chapter of Dogwood Alliance. “No greenhouse emission, no depletion. Yes it [forests] will come back, but when you are burning trees or burning a renewable source, it has emission. It isn’t really renewable then.” Frost adds, “Protecting forests in the US South is something pretty much everyone can get behind. They are the places we recreate, where we go to fish and swim, hunt and get away. Since we all benefit from their standing and integrity, we believe that it’s important to represent this interest by targeting a campaign against an industry that threatens to take those places we love away from us. Protecting southern forests is in the public interest.” A few weeks prior to our meeting, she was eviscerated in the comments section of the Savannah Morning News after writing a letter to the editor, pointing out inconsistencies of “clean energy”, which seemed to garner the bile of every nutjob possible. Mention words like green energy, environmentalism and god forbidclimate change, and it seems you will hit

Dogwood Alliance

List of Demands 1

E liminate the use of high carbon feedstocks.

Eliminate wood from endangered forests. Sustainability leaders in the Southern forest products industry are not only committing not to source from endangered forests, but also playing a proactive role in securing the long term conservation of important ecosystems in areas where they source wood. Ensure feedstocks are not sourced from 3on sites plantations established after July 1, 2008 that were natural forests immediately prior to their conversion. Aggressively scaleup of FSC certification. 4organizations Dogwood Alliance and other environmental in the U.S. do not view all certification standards equally. In particular, the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) and American Tree Farm System (ATFS) are not considered rigorous certification options, as they allow for the conversion of natural forests with high biodiversity and high carbon values to low biodiversity forests with low carbon storage value, industrial tree plantations, and development nvest in Forest Conservation and 5forestIRestoration, including the protection of carbon sinks within the sourcing footprint of woodpellet manufacturing operations.

a very raw, very politicized nerve. While eyerollingly bad, it has done little to slow down the efforts of Dogwood and the organization has found themselves kicking up their local education campaign “People that you tell this to, they don’t realize that the Western forests are protected, but places like Georgia and North Carolina are not” says coorganizer, Sumo Morgan. “Our forests aren’t protected. People only learn that when we tell them.“ -Continued on Next Page wellf edsava nna h. c om | 21

How many people watch the sunset off the river and know that our forests are leaving? “It’s all hidden,” echoes Sumo. “You don’t have to hide something unless you have a reason to hide it. That’s how it’s able to continue.” Point made, though I’d almost say it wasn’t so much hidden as it is out in the open and unfortunately the norm. Drive along I95 for any measure of time and you’ll see one of two things speckling the highway: scalped lots and paper mills. The question now is, can Dogwood drum up enough people to return to the idea that maybe this isn’t so normal? Easier said than done. I ask the organizers how are they going to do just that?

(Pictured above: Rita Frost, lead organizer for Dogwood Alliance Savannah Chapter. ) A telling they have surely done. Like clockwork, Dogwood organizers can be found in the Forsyth Farmer’s Market, soliciting signatures, stopping people for conversation on what’s happening. “I think it is surprising how many people walk by as you ask to sign a petition and they shake their head no.“ Morgan continues. “Then you mention it is about deforestation, they turn around and sign.” Oh yes, that’s Savannah’s secretwhatever party line or belief system you might find yourself on, there is one thing we all tend to agree on. We love our trees. We love them, yet there are big, monied industries that love their profit margin seemingly far more. Economically it can’t be a complaint for anyone in the Southern forest products industry, even if it is damningly temporary but that’s the issue that Dogwood is trying to get across. Biomass is temporary damningly and destructively temporary.What is it that we are losing in the long run for everyone and for only a few folk’s temporary gain? “We are relating everything to environmental issues, whether how it affects small business or other community issues.” Says Janelle Baker, another Dogwood coorganizer. “When I look around and see people, I know this is happening. But I don’t think people realize that all this stuff goes out of our port and goes elsewhere – no one knows that. How many people watch the sunset off the river and know that our forests are leaving?” 21 | w el l f e d s avan n ah .co m

“It’s sort of like an addict“ Morgan tells me. “You go to an extreme to get what you need. Going to rehab is hard, but it makes you better. Otherwise, you are going to end up broken” There you have it folks. We are broken. Not in a malicious, fingerpointing way, but in that way that all addiction tends to start out. There is a hole to fill and it gets filled with what’s easy. In this case, the hole is both the ease of what has worked so far and the obviousmoney. “I think a lot about what Georgia would look like if we were to tap into solar and wind energy.” Frost tells me. “If people want to be in the energy industry, let our government subsidizes projects – it would be an amazing revolution for this state, not only environmentally and economically, but as a way to lead to our own energy independence.” “We want to work with people,” Ray says. “We want to find a better solution.We aren’t just fighting people.“ It’s about reevaluating sources,” says Paul Rockwell, another organizer who while has been more of the active listener of the conversation, now drops this gem. “It’s a lot of hard work, but it will be worth. We aren’t going to be the brakes, but we do want to act like speed bumps and slow it down. Besides in Savannah, most speed bumps are from trees.” The group laughs, a positive flicker on what can be pretty heavy stuff. But like Ray says, it’s not about keeping that hope as the thing that gets you up. It’s about doing what’s right, even fully knowing that it’s slowing it down. In that case, the Dogwood organizers are clear on what it is that they need to doit certainly wouldn’t hurt for the rest of us to come along.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR FRIENDS (at the Farm Picnic) On Earth Day of 2011, the Forsyth Farmers’ Market launched “Friends of the Forsyth Farmers’ Market”. The primary purpose of the program was to help fund our first paid part-time manager. We also hoped that the program, like the market itself, would foster many and varied relationships around food, relationships that in the long run help reform our food system and our community. Four years, 200 Friends members, and 3 more staff positions later, we’re ready to celebrate the contribution all our “Friends” have made so far and expand our membership base. Friends memberships It’s time to give everyone an opportunity to socialize when you’re not buying groceries. On Sunday, the 17th of May Forsyth Farmers’ Market will host our first ever Farm Picnic for members of Friends of the Forsyth Farmers’ Market. The event will take place at the old dairy on Tennessee Avenue from 4 to 7 pm and feature a concert by local musicians. This beautiful acreage in east Savannah is the perfect spot for our first Farm Picnic as it was one of the last functioning diary in the city limits but has been repurposed during the recent renaissance of agriculture. This spot has several connections to the market as new vendor (but old market hand) Phil Musen has his garden there and board member Kerry Shay’s business “Victory Gardens” has a greenhouse and workshop on the property.

The picnic will be open to all Friends of the Forsyth Farmers’ Market who will receive a brown bag lunch featuring our vendors and local kitchens. “How do you become a Friend?” one might ask? If you’re already a member – no need to sign up again, we’ll holler at you with an invite soon. If you’d like to become a Friend, we will kick off our membership drive at Forsyth on Earth Day this year at which time we will announce the musical line up and unveil the T-shirt you also get for becoming a Friend of the Market. Individual memberships are $30, families are $50 and supporters can also trade volunteer hours for a membership. You can sign up at the market or through our website: www.forsythfarmersmarket. com. Even if you can’t sign up at the market, we’ll accept Friends at the ‘door’ of the farm on picnic day. We are excited about this new step for Forsyth Farmers’ Market and hope if it is a success it will lead to more farm picnics, farm dinners, maybe even a farm bike tour some day. So grab your friends and your friends of friends and come picnic in support of the Forsyth Farmers’ Market!

NAME: Kim Tavino (Owner) VENDOR NAME: Sprout Mama Breads EMPLOYEES: Son, Ryan Fennessey (Head baker, partner & chef) LOCATION: Hilton Head Island (Piggly Wiggly on the South end) ONLINE: facebook.com/sproutmamabreads

Get to know your local farmers and food producers through this series with the vendors of Savannah’s Forsyth Farmers’ Market.

I have been going to markets for the past 3 years. My business name came to be because of the nature of the breads I created. All have some sort of sprout component to it. The latest one is sprouted quinoa. Main products are sprouted grain breads. All my breads have wheat berry sprouts , pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds and fresh ground flax seed. I gather all my seeds from Tree of Life and they are organic. I believe in making the best breads with the healthiest ingredients that I can source. I try to use locally grown and produced products that are organic. My breads are high in omega 3 fatty acids, protein and B complex (When you sprout wheat berries it ups the nutrient level in the berries by as much as 16%.) I also make the pizza dough for my other business which is a mobile oven where I make pizza and breads with my other 2 partners. Other products we create at Sprout Mama Breads are rolls, focaccia, stuffed breads and seasonal breads such as fig and feta stuffed bread when figs are in season. We use fresh herbs when they are in season....we made fresh basil and sprouted red quinoa this past week. That was very popular!

Cinnamon cranberry, garlic rosemary, herb de Provence and honey wheat are the ones I started with and are always on the menu. The rye bread we make is my sons special recipe using blackstrap molasses, espresso coffee , caraway seeds and unsweetened cocoa powder. You get quite a bang for your buck there! It also has the wheat berry sprouts , pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds and fresh ground flax seeds. Poseidon Restaurant uses that for their special Reuben sandwich. Our herb de Provence focaccia is featured on the Red Fish restaurants’ menu and our sourdough is found at the lucky Rooster restaurant. Whole Foods Hilton Head is going to carry several of my breads starting in May 2015. I am very happy that Hilton Head Health carries my honey wheat breads for their guests as well. Soon I am going to create an online way to purchase my breads....I am excited about that! The farmers markets have been a great way to test new products and start a presence here. They are also a wonderful wealth of interesting people and I have many valued relationships that have developed over the years. The one that I value the most out of this is the opportunity to work with my very talented son. WELLF EDSAVA NNA H. C OM | FEED 29

URBAN GARDENING: CHANGING A GENERATION by Rhonda L. Barlow, MPH, RD, LD, CLC Nutrition Coordinator photos by Claudia Chambers What do art, science, exceptional children, and allied health all have in common? The Recycle Club -- an extracurricular student organization at Alfred E. Beach High School. Twenty-five student members have teamed up to learn about gardening, recycling, and most recently, to learn about beekeeping. Robin Tisdale-Turner, a former Science teacher at Beach, explains how the Recycle Club was started, “The Recycle Club was actually started by the Science Department. We had a recycle receptacle placed on the campus a few years ago to raise funds for the Science Department.The Environmental Science classes were responsible for collecting the recyclable paper across the campus. In 2013, Ebony Williams and I attended the SCCPSS Farm to School Workshop and Georgia Organics Conference. We were excited about starting a school garden to go along with the school’s recycling efforts. We later recruited Claudia Chambers the following year to assist us in our efforts to grow the club and the garden.” Past harvests from the school garden includes tomatoes, strawberries, cucumbers, potatoes, mustard greens, and a variety of herbs. Students are currently caring for the garden in anticipation of harvesting collard greens, kale, cabbage, chard, rosemary, thyme, and sage. 32 | W E L L F EDS AVAN N AH .CO M

Claudia Chambers, the Art teacher and one of the club advisors, explains the mission of the club is to, “educate this community on how to become healthy and more sustainable. We strive to “show” them how to access the means within their communities and why it’s so crucial that lifestyle changes must occur within this generation. She goes on to say, “If we show students how to do better and why, most will choose the route that is more beneficial to them in the long run.” Besides growing food and running a school-wide paper recycling campaign, club members have experimented with making lip balm to sell as a fundraiser. Their most recent adventure includes attending the FUNdamentals of Beekeeping; an event sponsored by the Coastal Empire Beekeeper’s Association and held at the Oatland Island Wildlife Center every February. Ms. Chambers expressed her wonderment at the excitement of the students in attendance, “Who would have of known students would be excited to sit in lectures and workshops learning about science and biology. But they are eager to learn about this new information and they instantly wanted to bring that experience to Beach High School.” The Recycle Club was recently awarded a Whole Kids Foundation Grant to help with their efforts to expand their school garden plans. If you would like to assist the Beach Recycle Club with maintaining their garden beds or you would like to donate to the club, contact Claudia Chambers at 912-395-5330.

Clean Eating Challenge Article and photos by Chris Kubick

What did your doctor tell you during your last visit? Lose weight? Eat better? Sleep more? What if you just turned Sixty, and your doctor told you that you’re doing a great job, and not to come back for another year! That’s exactly what happened to Sandee Hipsitz. After years of high blood pressure, high cholesterol and a plethora of affiliated medications this local sextenarian started off a new decade of life with, essentially - a clean slate. So how did she do it? Hipsitz credits her success to Yoga Barre’s Clean Eating Challenge, which she first embarked upon three years ago after escalating health problems, and accumulating prescriptions had diminished her hopes of ever feeling young, or healthy, again. She didn’t want to accept that “getting older is (just) about not feeling good..” Hipsitz decided to try the Yoga Barre cleanse. Now she’s hooked! “I feel like I wouldn’t be alive today if I had not found the cleanse,” Hipsitz asserts as she shares her story. Sandee Hipsitz is just one of many success stories to come out of the Clean Eating Challenge. Yoga Barre has been hosting the challenge for the past three years under the management of Lynne McSweeney and the leadership of certified Integrative Nutrition coach Betsy Hunter Hughes. 38

HEALTH | WEL L FEDS AVAN N AH .CO M

Sandee Hipsitz, Laura Oliver, Jan Feeley all shared their Clean Eating Challenge experiences and according to them -

The Three Hardest Parts of a Cleanse: • Giving up coffee! • Planning meals ahead • Occasional headaches and/or cravings

The Three Easiest Parts of a Cleanse: • Weight Loss: women who completed the cleanse claim losing weight was “easy” • Community: tackling the challenges with a team • Resources: diet plans affiliated with local businesses

Jan Feeley has always been fairly active, but after completing her first cleanse last year she wondered, “How can you do yoga, and then go out and eat an egg McMuffin?” While cleanses may have a reputation for wearing one out, most participants remain active throughout this cleanse because it is not as restrictive as traditional cleanses.

Have you ever actually heard someone trying to lose weight claim that it was “easy” to do so? Laura Oliver, who completed her first cleanse last July elaborates - she wishes that her doctor had told her to lose weight, or eat clean over the years, instead of prescribing her pills. Sure there is a lot of planning, and intense discipline involved, but if working moms can tackle this challenge, throw away their pill bottles forever, and still make it to yoga practice then what’s stopping you? McSweeney, Yoga Barre’s owner was inspired by the groundbreaking cleanse work of Alejandro Junger. Who himself claims, “Most premature deaths today are a result of failing detox systems.” According to Junger one of the most common consequences of poor detoxification functioning is inflammation, the body’s necessary, but now dangerously over used survival strategy.” It seems that the larger issues that come up when discussing the importance of a cleanse are inflammation and bioaccumulation. Both are closely related, but not necessarily interchangeable topics. Inflammation can be acute, or chronic, ie. an immediate allergic reaction to a toxin, or the bodies response to build-up of toxins overtime – or bioaccumulation. According to the CDC, “Arthritis and other rheumatic conditions are the most common cause of disability among U.S. adults and have been for the past 15 years.” Dr. Hyman, director of the Cleveland Institute of Functional Medicine, reports that as of 2013 at least 60 million Americans have allergies, and another 24 million have an autoimmune disease. Moreover, Hyman also states that these specific conditions we label as “autoimmune diseases” typically occur only in modern, developed countries that have sterilization and running water. Not that less developed countries don’t see their fair share of medical hardships, but they aren’t developing the chronic inflammatory conditions we see prevalent in American culture. How many people with rheumatoid arthritis are put on a better diet plan, or a cleanse, instead of being subscribed strong medications? How many of us have friends or relatives come home from the doctor with a better diet plan to relieve allergy systems? Diet is usually a secondary factor to treatment, and not the primary subscription. If we can recognize that pollution and increasing exposure to environmental toxins is negatively affecting health, we should acknowledge that what we are putting inside of our bodies is also directly effecting our health. We can’t directly control what toxins are in our immediate environments, but we can control what we are putting into our bodies.

Clean Eating Challenge Coach, Betsy Hunter Hughes explains, “At Yoga Barre, we begin with a 14-day body prep including an elimination diet with a specific food list to fill the voids and this leads us into a 7-day cleanse. The cleanse includes a 24-hr juice fast, essential oils, and herbal supplements to help further cleanse the colon and the liver. This last week is the strictest and the most beneficial. I find that the 14-day prep helps to ease detox symptoms which can often be uncomfortable, especially if you have never cleansed.” A cleanse gives our digestive tract room and time between meals to flush out - so that when we place something into our body we can better understand how we are reacting to that specific nutrient. To put the Clean Eating Challenge in perspective, let us look at what else we routinely cleanse in our daily lives; teeth, hair, clothes and cars. Is your body as important as your car? Only you can answer this.

The next Clean Eating Challenge starts on April 13th! Group meetings are on April 13th, 20th and 27th. If you are wondering if a cleanse is for you, please contact Savannah Yoga Barre at: 912.200.4809 • 2132 Victory Drive www.savannahyogabarre.com Savannah Squeeze has also coordinated with the Challenge to provide participants with fresh-squeezed juices. Each bottle of juice contains over 3 pounds of organic produce! www.savannahsqueeze.com

Love from Scratch Story by Coco Papy

Photographs by Angie Mosier

What does it mean to come from scratch? In a foodie culture that is continually pushing new terminology to describe what has often been commonplace tradition for years - farm to table, snout to tail, the return of local, there tends to be a newfound fetishizing of language for what Southern food had been about till around the age of food industrialization. We come from scratch. Our cooking and baking is the stuff of pulling together whatever resources you have, ways of filling our bellies that come from everything from our particular terroir to our heinous history.

While sexy cooking networks can profile these foods as if they have just appeared, with a new vocabulary all of their own; the root of this blossoming new food culture that values these things has always been our own backyard. Perhaps this is why Cheryl and Griff Day will always have my heart. Savannahians and founders of the locally worshipped and highly spoken about tourist mecca, Back in the Day Bakery, Cheryl and Griff have figured out what counts the most when you are eating. Make it with love. Make it from scratch. Back in the Day has now been around for thirteen years, an eternity in the food business, a victory ever more so pronounced with the publishing of their second cookbook, Made with Love: More than 100 Recipes and Make-It-Yourself Projects to Create and Share. Part love letter to the Day’s continual commitment to scratch baking, part political statement on the necessity of going back to the world of unprocessed food, Made With Love highlights not only the cultural foundation of southern bakingscratch-but the idea of what it means to scratch by when working towards what really matters.

Everything they put into their food, comes from a place of heritage-based learning, the type of schooling you get from grandma’s kitchen, where food is more like oral-storytelling and a preservation of history and culture, rather than just making a certain type of food. “I have no regrets about being self-taught,” states Cheryl point blank. “It’s like different roads,” Griff tells me. “You can go through school and learn, but you might not have life experience. But baking all your life? That’s the long road, it just deepens your experience.” “People have been very respectful and appreciative of this” Cheryl adds in. “ Maybe in some way, that has given us a broader audience. Like, there are certain books that come out by say, a classically trained chef, but those books have a narrower audience. But we’ve got pastry chefs and home novices and in some crazy way, without us planning it, this has given us a broader audience. We had no idea we would sell so many books and meet so many people. “

“Everything was invested in our business and this idea we have of baking from scratch and hanging on to memories” “I mean…literally, we had no money,” Cheryl says to me over the phone in mid-February. It’s a few days after Valentine’s, a huge day for most, but given that this year’s lovey dovey fell on Saturday, the bakery’s big day anyway, you know exactly why the couple sound cheerful, but a touch tired. “You know, we were very naive to what goes into a business,” Cheryl continues. “We do so much on our own, we are still very hands on, we are very passionate. But we have been there for almost 14 years and a lot of people look to us as a landmark in that area and a landmark for Savannah, and to think of how we started! No one believed in us!” Griff follows suit. “We didn’t have any money. That was a major motivation for us to succeed. Everything was invested in our business and this idea we have of baking from scratch and hanging on to memories” It might be elitist to stress this, but it’s what makes Cheryl and Griff stand out from the crowd and also plays back into what they value and want the community to recognize.

An unexpected surprise in a world that is getting ever more particular in what “qualifies” one to do anything. But the Day’s are keenly aware that the miraculous and delicious have always been made by people just scratching by. They just happen to be at a point where the larger world is beginning to see the inherent value in it. “When I was brought up, my mom was head of the backyard to table movement and you hear so much about farm to table – that’s how I’ve always cooked!” says Cheryl. “It’s always been there,” echoes Griff. “Maybe it’s a reawakening or a resurgence, but it’s just about getting back to simple foods, comfort foods. I’ve tried to wrap my head around of how we got off track of not eating fresh food or eating local and how we got to this wide distribution of processed foods” Made With Love is making a bold statement about what we value in food and how we get it. “Everyone wants things faster and faster,” says Cheryl with a touch of frustration in her voice. -Continued on Next Page wellf edsava nna h. c om | feed 41

Jam

“We just kind of fell off our balance” Griff continues for her. “Everyone had to work harder and harder for a little. I think we are burning out on that.” “Well, we talk about slowing down but everything we do is focused on getting people to connect,” Cheryl continues, this time her voice nearing back up to that rich positive that I’d heard all throughout our interview. “Whether it’s local bread or food, it’s about getting people together around a table again. Everything we do - we always think about that.” Since the dawn of when fire was invented, people have gathered around to cook and eat, slowing down from whatever creature was out to eat them, sharing and talking about the stuff of their day. Feeding is loving, especially if it’s from scratch. As we are winding down our time, the Day’s soon headed out on a big book tour and I lustily flipping through my own copy of Made With Love (ever have unnatural feelings for a Chive Parmigiano-Reggiano Popovers recipe? Because I have.) I keep going back to how it all comes back to scratch -the art of slowing down, pulling together what you have and making something beautiful out of all that hard work. People recognize it and they need it, more than ever. Maybe that’s why the Day’s have been so successful - not just because of delicious food and a great idea, but of building from scratch, an actual, living, breathing community. They’ve set up a table and invited all to come. “So, there are these two little boys who come into the bakery” Cheryl says at the very end. “They think I am Mother Nature. They really think I’m Mother Nature! I don’t know where it came from. But they will sit in the window and watch us work. And it helps that they are our community.” “The whole community comes through here,” Griff adds on. “And they eat and chat and enjoy.” Maybe those two little boys see something more magical that the rest of us pastry-seeking adults know with the whole Mother Nature (and Father Nature) thing. It isn’t just about delicious, scratch-baked things. It’s about two people who created a table and filled it with food made with love and asked, “Please come and sit with us”. 42 | w el l f e d s avan n ah .co m

Muffins Recipe

Jelly-filled muffins, our take on the doughnutshop favorite, make our customers almost giddy when they come in for their morning coffee. The muffins are baked, not fried, but just like doughnuts, they are finished with a vanillaflavored glaze. Makes 12 muffins Ingredients 3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, preferably aluminum-free 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom 12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar 3 large eggs 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract 1 1/2 cups sour cream, at room temperature About 1/3 cup jam (any kind) For the Glaze 2 cups confectioners’ sugar 3 to 4 tablespoons whole milk 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Directions 1. Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 350째F. Spray 12 standard muffin cups with nonstick spray or line with paper liners. 2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cardamom. Set aside. 3. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or in a large mixing bowl, using a handheld mixer), cream the butter and sugar together on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn the mixer speed down to low and add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as necessary. Add the vanilla and mix until blended. 4. With the mixer on low, add the flour mixture in thirds, mixing until just combined and scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Add the sour cream and mix until combined, about 1 minute. 5. Scoop 2 tablespoons of batter into each muffin cup and spread it over the bottom of the cup. Spoon 1 heaping teaspoon of jam into the center of each. Top each one off with another 2 tablespoons of batter, making sure to cover the jam. 6. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the muffins are golden brown. The tops should be firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin should come out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool for about 15 minutes.

EVERYONE NEEDS ONE: EXIT STRATEGY

A GREAT B-SIDE: AJ’S BEACHSIDE

What started as a hobby to unwind has turned into one of Savannah’s best hidden gems. Originally launched as a manufacturing company of gourmet frozen custards, founders Lisa and Grafton, quickly took their concept to the retail masses at The Forsyth Farmers’ Market. But no longer must we wait till Saturday to get our frozen custard fix, as they recently opened a storefront on the far east end of Bay Street. By hidden gem, we mean really hidden: The trees of Emmet Park, of which it faces, can block your view from Bay Street.We recommend you cross the street at B. Matthew’s Eatery on the corner of Habersham and Bay.

The ink is dry and it is official! “A-J’s Beachside” has leased out the Tybee Hotel’s restaurant and lounge (formally known as the Ocean Plaza Beach Resort). For years, guests to Tybee Island, as well as locals, have fallen in love “A-J’s Dockside”. Alan and Jackie are incredibly excited to operate restaurants on both the east and west side of the island now.

In addition to the frozen custards, you can treat yourself to an assortment of other treats and some great locally roasted coffee. While your there, don’t miss the great river views from the back lounge; a perfect pitstop for anyone venturing towards the river or just looking for a quiet place to relax near Bay Street.

Do you ever get the craving for Nairobia’s Shrimp and Grits... but it’s after 2pm and the restaurant on Habersham is closed. You no longer have to be disappointed because they have opened a new Location open until 4pm. That’s right, Nairobi’s has a new location open from 7am until 4pm. Same great food and staff with a few extra hours to enjoy your grits and gravy.
