George Speis: Howaninsignificantislandofshepherdsbecameaglobalnavalpower

There is an important landmark/revolution, whose cause is unknown to us, in the Aegean after 1840. This occurs in Sifnos, where the forging of resilient crockery is perfected. Over the next 30-50 years, this prompts both Sifnian crockery merchants and craftsmen to spread everywhere and to set up locally. This will have a great impact on lo-cal pottery. The degree to which this is affected beyond crockery manufacturing still remains unknown, as does the process of what exactly happened in these different places earlier on. The magnitude of this impact, however, was such that in many places, potters remained known as sifnians, even if they were not of Sifnian descent. Additionally, we know that local names, as well as various types of earthenware, must have still been preserved despite this effect. There is certainly a need for much more research on the issue to draw appropriate conclusions.ThesearethewordsoftheOinoussianwriter,researcherandethnographerGeorgeSpeistakenfromthisyearsAssociationoftheFriendsofKeacalendarthatisdedicatedtopottery.FollowinghisbooksentitledThourideskaiMelissokepiatesAndrou,TaliotriviakaiieliastinAndro(TheOilPressesandtheOliveinAndros),OiSifnioitisAndrou(TheSifniansofAndros),thisyearthediversewriterresearches,studiesandwritesaboutanotheraspectofAndrianfolkculture,thewindmills,andparticularlyaboutthetavlomylos,atypeofwindmillfoundexclusivelyinAndros.Abouthisnewbook,hewrites: The tavlomylos of Andros is (Giannis Chrysostrates at the mill of Foleros in Korthi reminisces ) a unique piece of traditional equipment that must be acknowledged and salvaged. Above all, it is an important folk invention and through this publication I try to explain and to showcase it. The man that has provided me with the knowledge and who is always willing to explain and to contribute any information about Andros when I have required it, is the grandson of the man who built the mill, Giannis Chrysostrates.

- Mr Speis, how is it that you, an Athenian electrical engineer with a long incumbency and career in the united States, became pre-occupied with folk culture and that of Andros in particular?IstudiedintheUnitedStates.IhaveworkedinGreeceandRomania.In any case, it is only once you aregoneandhavelivedawayfromyourhomelandthatyoucanconceptualizewhatismeantbylonging.Itisthisthatpromptedme to inquire intomyselfandmy roots.Weembody folk cul-

the invention of a common arti-san. Through the research that Ihave conducted, I have discoveredhow thisman came to design thismachine. It is, in fact, very impor-tantbecause it isoneofmanyfolkdevices that were designed duringthe 20th century and that wereabandoned without being studied.I believe that there needs to beresearch on traditional technologythatprovidedsolutions throughoutmillenniaof experience so thatwemayadjustimportedtechnologyto

ourownenvironment.Iwillrefertoother similar folk devices, such aswindmillsinKea,Serifos,MelosandKarpathos. These possibly exist inotherplacesaswell,buttheyhavenotyetbeenreportedandareun-known.Indeed,untiljustthreeyearsago thehorizontalwindmill of Keawasentirelyunknownand scornedevenwithinKeaitself.- You make particular reference to the last miller of AndrosInformationaboutfolktechnologyand about techniques and proce-

Which are these books and what is their content?IhavenotdealtwithAegina.TheOinousses, or better Egnoussa, aswe natives call it, constitute thefatherland.

Honey from CycladesAbiologicalproductwithover180nutritionalfacts!

Honeycul-ture is very widespread due tothe specific fauna, especially rich

in xerothermic apiarian plantssuch as thyme, satureia thrumba,sageetc.TheMagiatikoofKeaandMylos,the lefkatisioofAndrosarebeeproductsproducedbytherichagrestal faunaoftheCycladesandarepartofthehistoryandmythol-ogy of the region. The apiculture,an art exercised for thousands ofyearson the islandofCyclades, isnowadaysoneofthemostdynamicofbranchesofprimaryproductionwhichisunfortunatelyindeepfall.Lately, the number of beekeepershas been rising while more and

moreproducersareparticipatinginNational and European apicultureprogramsandactions.According to the Department ofAgricultural Economy and Veteri-naryMedicineoftheRegionoftheSouth Aegean, the Cyclades com-plex produces 450 tons of honeyper year. Particularly, our regionhas 1229 registered apiculturersand54.060beehives.Thegreatestpart of the apiculturers is locatedin Andros and Naxos. The aboveinformationshowthatapicultureisaverydynamicmarketintheCyc-lades region, it is exercised eitherasamainoccupationorasaparttime activity and hasmany bene-fits,suchastheeconomicboostofthefamilycompanies,thedwellingofvillagersintheless-favouredandmountainousareasoftheCycladesregion and the protection of theecologicalbalance.AccordingtoVaggelisPapas,agron-omistM.Sc.,90%oftheexploita-tions filed in the Apicultural Ex-ploitation Register of the CycladesRegion are amateur which meansthattheyareunitsoflessthan150hives. The apiculturers ofCycladesjoincooperativesinordertobenefitfromtheEURegulationswhiletheyusually commercialize their prod-ucts without agents in a relativelyhigh price. The primary and mostpopular product of Cycladic api-culture is the thyme honey whichfinancially remains very efficientforthefamilycompanieswhentheclimatic conditions and the apicul-

turalpracticesareideal.Apiculture,when practiced either as a mainoccupationorasasecondaryactiv-ity can raise the family income ofthe islanders. According to severalstudies, the income of the apicul-turers with over 150 hives raisessignificantlyduetothehighproduc-tion of honey sold at a high priceaswellasthecommercializationofotherrelatedproducts(suchasthecombs of Kythnos and dipleria).Those apiculturers are consideredprivileged compared to the otherfarmers.Specifically, the majority (46%) ofthe families engaged in agriculturehasahighincomewhile43%hasamedium incomeandonly 11%ap-pearstohavealowincome. According to Andreas Thrasyvou-lou, professor of the Apicultureand Sericulture department of theAristotle University of Thessalo-niki, honeymighthave anordinarysweetening taste but it is ratherdifferent than all other sweeteners.According to various studies, theconsumptionofsugarcanbedetri-mental for our health because it ischemicallyprocessedwhilethepro-longedboilingofsugarjuicekillsallnutritional facts.However,honey isabiologicalproductcontainingover180nutritionalfacts.Thehoneyhasuniquenutritionalbenefitsduetoitssimple and complex sugars,miner-als, aminoacids, flavourings, antibi-otic ingredients, bitamins, enzymesandotherfactsaswellasitsorganiccompounds.
