Backpack Buddies Seabrook Island Fills a Serious Need
Backpack Buddies Seabrook Island is an important effort to feed hungry kids on the weekend. Joanne Threlfall, Elaine Davis and Derick Toth graciously agreed to come on our podcast to explain the project to Tidelines staff writer Sally Kimball.
They describe how the program works, the people involved in making it work and the extensive fund-raising that goes on to support it.
August 2015 was the 50th Anniversary of the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965, widely regarded as the most important piece of legislation since the Civil War. Seabrook resident John Reynolds worked at the highest levels of the civil rights movement in the 1960s as a trusted colleague of Dr. Martin Luther King, Ralph David Abernathy, and other top leaders of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference.
In this two-part Tidecast audio interview, Mr. Reynolds recounts his experiences and talks about how the Voting Rights Act changed the political landscape in the American South. He is joined by his wife Gloria for part of the session.
John is the author of the book, The Fight for Freedom: A Memoir of My Years in the Civil Rights Movement (AuthorHouse, 2012), available at Indigo Books in Freshfields Village and from online sources.

Today, TIDELINES introduces a new podcast series we’re calling “Tidecasting.”
Tidelines writers and editors are constantly casting our nets for topics of special interest to our readers and followers. Sometimes the best way to present this newly found content is in the form of in-depth, compelling audio interviews we call Tidecasts.
Our first Tidecast is a June 17th interview with Steve Traynum of Coastal Science and Engineering. Mr. Traynum was the project manager for the Cap’n Sam’s Relocation Project between Seabrook Island and Kiawah Island, which is now concluding. In this 20-minute interview with Tidelines writer Barbara Burgess, Mr. Traynum provides fascinating behind-the-scenes details about the project and how it was accomplished. The podcast was produced by Shawna Jarrett, SIPOA Communications Administrator.
