... AND MANY MORE TIME. SUCH A FUNNY THING.

I can’t believe this magazine has been publishing for 10 years, and that I’ve been lucky enough to be a part of it for seven. And yet, when I look back on the stories we’ve done, and as they start to blur together more and more (it’s easy to remember what each issue contains when you have only a couple under your belt!), it kind of seems like we’ve been plugging away at this for longer than a decade. The clock is also our prime competitor, and I don’t mean that in the philosophical sense of time running out for everyone and everything. We compete for your time and attention. How do we produce, over and over again, a product that will compel you, our readers, to put down your smartphones? Close your social media feeds? Or choose this magazine over a book, a crossword, an email, cleaning out a junk drawer … You get the idea. On top of that, we are asking for more and more of your attention – to follow us on social media, to read our blog posts, to peruse our weekly enewsletter, to listen to our podcast. What has happened to this publication over 10 years is a lot like what has happened to the community it serves. Follow me here: The print product is still around and thriving – thankfully – but we’ve added annual guides and a digital presence. We’ve changed the book’s size, its logo, its overall design. Similarly, our towns have been revised. New leadership, from elected officials to the UNC Chancellor. New buildings, including several that command attention. But like the magazine, Chapel Hill remains untouched at its very core. For every cafe that’s opened – or maybe even closed – in the past decade, there’s a Squid’s or a Merritt’s or a Carolina Coffee Shop that reminds us we’re home. For every development coming out of the ground, there’s Morgan Creek or Franklin Street, still the heart of our world in so many ways. For every new resident embarking on a grad school opportunity, there’s a family that’s been here for five generations. And this magazine’s job – no matter how time alters the platform or the packaging or the frequency – remains: to celebrate it all. CHM

“When your financial life changes, who is there to help protect the values that mean the most to you?”

To help shape the financial futures of her clients, Relationship Strategist Missie Thompson takes the time to connect. “I love my job because of the relationships I get to build,” she says. “In all of our clients, there’s one common denominator: passion for what they’ve chosen to do in this world. I love to hear their stories, learn about their success and understand their families.” Because Missie and fellow Relationship Strategist Nick Becton serve as the primary liaisons between individuals, families or business owners and the experienced team of specialists at PNC Wealth Management®, having a complete understanding of matters. According to Nick, the scope of services PNC Wealth Management provides is deep and broad. “We manage a client’s financial relationship with PNC Wealth Management, providing each client with appropriate guidance and advice. Our mission is to address their unique banking, investment and wealth planning needs today and on into the future, across generations.” With the rest of the team, Missie and Nick can help you buy a home, manage your investments, or work with your attorney as he or she drafts a trust for you. If keeping a business in the family or charitable giving is important to you, Missie and Nick have the resources to provide you and your legal counsel guidance in these matters as well. PNC Wealth Management Director Dennis Blue knows that clients can count on Relationship Strategists like Missie and Nick to help identify solutions and execute them, giving individuals with complex financial lives

“a clear line of sight” from where they are now to where they want to be. “While we appreciate that having wealth can help ensure financial stability and solve many problems,” he says, “wealth can also create challenges that require responsible solutions.” These solutions include private banking, a concierge level of service that PNC Bank provides to its Wealth Management clients. Senior Banking Advisors Scott Keesee and Ed Turnley have relationships with clients to provide them with cash management, mortgage financing and highly customizable credit solutions. His fellow Banking Advisor Courtney Faircloth adds that because the team is local, they can help you whenever a need arises. PNC Wealth Management’s location right here in Eastern North Carolina means that your Relationship Strategist and Banking Advisors – along with the team’s Wealth Planners, Trust Advisors and Investment Advisors – are focused on helping you define what’s important to you and to help you preserve and protect the wealth of your family or business into the future and across generations.

Do you have questions about your family’s or business’s wealth plan? PNC Wealth Management can help you, so that your hopes and dreams are, in fact, your reality. Reach out to Dennis Blue, Director of PNC Wealth Management, by phone at 919-788-6111 or by email at dennis.blue@pnc.com.

CROOK’S AND BOOKS PHOTOGRAPHY BY S.P. MURRAY

Crook’s Corner happily admits that it borrowed its book prize idea from a

number of French cafes. But it’s pretty cool – the notion of nourishment for the body coupled with nourishment for the mind. Each year, a committee of book enthusiasts reads a few dozen entries and narrows the list of finalists to four. Then, acclaimed author Lee Smith decides the winner. In January, at a gathering attended by writers like Daniel Wallace and Bland Simpson, Crook’s announced that Tom Cooper of New Orleans had won the third annual prize for his debut novel, “The Marauders.” Tom was on hand to receive $1,000. He can also have a free glass of wine at Crook’s every day for all of 2016. Lee said that while she was reading Tom’s book, she needed to pause to host a dinner party. The book was so enthralling that she left her company in the middle of the evening to go upstairs and sneak in a chapter. She added that the book “seemed to have sprung fully formed.” Tom is now working on the script for TV executives at AMC. CHM

DOG TREAT A local line of collars looks out for the underdogs

brands in San Francisco when she had the realization familiar to many animal lovers: No matter how hard you try, you can’t save them all. It was a notion that marinated deep within her for the next few years, as she dated her Triangle-based husband long distance and eventually married him. By that point, she had rescued five dogs and “needed space.” Pittsboro was the perfect place to relocate, to act on “the idea to use the high highs of a luxury brand to generate profits and awareness for the low lows of homeless dogs,” she says. She launched Pantofola, a high-end brand of handmade Italian leather dog collars. In bright, classic colors, the collars epitomize understated extravagance. “I was really picky,” she says of her attention to detail. For example, “I really don’t like big clunky buckles and hardware.” So she had custom molds made for her collars’ sleek brass fixtures. “I wanted to create something that is as nice as a really finely made small leather good for a human. … We don’t do anything less just because it’s [for] a dog.” Everything is made and manufactured in Italy. “It’s the real thing, the mother and the two sons,” she says of the small factory in northern Italy. And then there’s the giving back. “A major part of this is to generate money I can donate,” Erica says. “It’s definitely easier than trying to adopt them all.” Rather than contribute to familiar charity names, Erica seeks out the underdogs. “There’s this whole grassroots realm of people who donate so much time.” In the past year, sales

have benefited Pilots N Paws, a network of independent pilots who relocate dogs from an area where there’s an overabundance to an area where they’re guaranteed adoption, and Marley’s Mutts, a small nonprofit in central California. At $265 each, a Pantofola purchase is an investment. In fact, only two of Erica’s five dogs wear them – the other three are too young and rambunctious to handle fine leather. “I think of ourselves as a Bentley,” she says. “Ultimately, it’s for the owner. I would never say, ‘Your dog wants this. It will make your dog happy.’ I know it’s for the person.” For the person who wants to splurge with a conscience, that is. Erica’s collars are sold exclusively online at pantofola-mia.com. – Jessie Ammons

TANGLED UP IN BLUE (AND RED, AND YELLOW...) After working for Hallmark, David Walker – a Briar Chapel resident – has made a life as a freelance illustrator, most recently for Bob Dylan’s new children’s book How did you become an illustrator?

When I was little, I got pegged as “the little artist kid.” I went to college at Kansas University and studied illustration there. After that, I was hired by Hallmark Cards as what’s considered an art director. I don’t think I could do this job without having had that experience of working with hundreds of other artists and seeing their styles. What is a typical workday like for you?

I have the easiest, coolest job in the world, but I work an insane number of hours, and they’re not always in a straight line. It’s not eight hours a day, and it’s not always the same. But what it allowed me to do was have the absolute luxury of walking my [now grown] kids to school in the morning, walking back and working. People have very romantic ideas of having a studio space in their home. What’s it like?

I have to say, it is a romantic idea – for an artist to have a space where they can create on their own and they don’t have to put anything away, it’s just the hugest luxury. Even for people doing this as a hobby: Find a space in your house where you don’t have to put away your paints. So, you’ve illustrated a children’s book – out next month – for Bob Dylan, using the lyrics to “If Not for

It’s his third children’s book … [and uses] exactly the lyrics of his song. You can’t change them a bit, which makes it a little quirky for a children’s book, but the first two books stayed [with] ’70s throwback, retro-looking artwork to go along with the Bob Dylan thing, and the publisher wanted to try this cuter approach. Parents and grandparents will pick it up because it’s Bob Dylan, but kids are going to like it or not like it because of these bigheaded characters. So it’s an experiment, and we’ll see how it works! – Virginia Robinson

SWEET SHOP Like her hand-colored paper confections, Andrea Saye is living “pineapple-y ever after.”

PRINTS CHARMING Andrea Saye’s Etsy shop is all about spreading joy

ith her pineapple bracelets and camera-ready smile, Andrea Saye is just about the happiest person you’ll ever meet – not to mention the most Southern. This Concord native and UNC grad is the epitome of a Southern belle, complete with a charming twang, a flair for hospitality and an English bulldog she describes as “a bowl full of wrinkles.” But even more than her delightful style, it’s her eternal optimism that really grabs your attention. “If we all just stopped and took a step back,” Andrea says, “and looked at things with heart-shaped eyes, I think we would be a little bit happier.” And that very theory is why she calls her new booming Etsy shop Happy Little Prints. The shop began with her sketchpad and an idea. Although she does design and marketing for the UNC General Alumni Association every day, she wanted to “keep the creativity flowing,” 34

she says. So one night, she just started sketching. And out popped a pineapple with heart-shaped eyes. Soon enough, there were pineapples, pumpkins, coffee cups and Christmas trees – all with heart-shaped eyes to remind folks to take a moment to enjoy life. They quickly found their way on to products: greeting cards, mug cozies, gift tags and more. And Happy Little Prints was born. “I just love my characters so much,” Andrea says. “And I love that my personality radiates through some of the work that I do.” Each watercolor print is hand-painted and completely unique. “So no two are alike,” Andrea says. “That makes me happy.” And best of all, one dollar of every happy little product goes toward making someone else happier, too. Andrea’s all about paying it forward. With those donated dollars, she finds ways to spread joy: from small things like paying for someone else’s latte to grand gestures like buying Christmas presents for those less fortunate. “Life is short,” Andrea says. “Make it good. And party like a pineapple!” Shop Andrea’s cards and prints on Etsy or follow her on Instagram: @sayecheese. – Jenny Hunt CHM

HOOP DREAMS THE CAROLINA BASKETBALL MUSEUM IS A SL AM DUNK FOR ANYONE WHO LOVES THE HEELS BY JESSICA STRINGER

I’VE JUMPED AROUND AT

dozens of home games, had my picture taken with Roy and was in Detroit for the lopsided National Championship win in 2009. But the one thing I hadn’t crossed off my Carolina basketball bucket list? Visiting the mecca of memorabilia adjacent to the Dean E. Smith Center.

Jessica Stringer, our assistant editor, you know, just hanging with her mom and Phil Ford. Typical stuff.

chapelhillmagazine.com March 2016

S I M P LY T H E B E S T Opened in 2008, the Carolina Basketball Museum documents the 100-plus year history of one of the best – actually, the best – college basketball programs in the country. Inside its doors, you’re quickly ushered into a small theater where a countdown to game day begins, and you hear the roar of the Dean Dome crowd. It’s electrifying. The anticipation builds as greats like Vince Carter recall the atmosphere of playing at home. The film that follows is six minutes of some of the most goose bumps-inducing, ESPN Top 10-worthy dunks, steals and memorable moments. Whether you’re a casual fan or a lifelong Tar Heel, you can’t help but be pumped at the museum. Like any exhibition, this one is best enjoyed over a few trips to really see everything in the 8,000-square-foot space. Luckily, admission is free, so you can pop over whenever you need a fix of Carolina hoops. My mom,

a fellow UNC grad, and I made our first pilgrimage before a game in December. We marveled at the old uniforms, ticket stubs, magazine covers and more recent items of lore, like Tyler Hansbrough’s face mask and Kendall Marshall’s kicks. LIVING LEGEND Then we saw him. Standing in front of the section that pays tribute to his time on the court at Carolina, there was the legend himself: Phil Ford. After a moment of hesitation, we joined the small line. My mom was giddy as she told Phil that she was a freshman during his standout senior season – he won the John Wooden Award and was named the National Player of the Year by several organizations. Phil high-fived me upon hearing I was one of a dozen Tar Heels in my family and posed for a photo. On a high after our brush with basketball greatness, we made a beeline for Dean Smith’s recruiting letters to a high school Michael Jordan and that infamous note from a disappointed Mike Krzyzewski wishing Michael the best in his college career. With the museum closing an hour before tip-off, we had to cut our time short and we exited right by the cut-down nets and massive trophies from ACC Tournaments and NCAA Championships. We barely scratched the surface – missing the interactive displays on subjects like Dean Smith’s Four Corners – but still left in awe of the Carolina dynasty. CHM

Iconic team. Fantastic fans. Impressive season. And a stellar museum to boot!

WANT TO GO? The Carolina Basketball Museum is open Monday through Friday, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. and Saturday, 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Check the schedule for special game day hours.

TOWN HALL, continued

IN HIS FIRST OF WHAT WILL BE A REGULAR COLUMN, FORMER MAYOR MARK KLEINSCHMIDT CHECKS IN WITH NEW MAYOR PAM HEMMINGER A FEW WEEKS INTO HER TERM PHOTO BY BRIANA BROUGH

EING MAYOR WILL ALWAYS BE ONE OF THE GREATEST HONORS of my life. While it was disappointing not to be re-elected in November, I have always admired Pam Hemminger. Having served on our local school board and as a member of the Orange County Commissioners, Pam’s leadership bonafides were unquestionable when she threw her hat in the mayoral ring. In late January, I had the opportunity to sit down with my successor and catch up with her as she began, what I’m sure will be, a successful term as our town’s second female mayor.

MARK KLEINSCHMIDT So now you’ve had about two months in office. What are your short-term priorities to kick-start efforts, the things you really want to get off the ground early? PAM HEMMINGER Right away, I was interested in learning all I could possibly learn. Meeting with the staff, working with council members and trying to figure out what the synergy is within the council. Because it’s a new group. When you change one person in the group, it makes a whole different group. And they’re learning along with me, too, because I did bring some changes to the table. Mostly about how people receive the communications we put out there. It’s 46

chapelhillmagazine.com March 2016

taken a little bit of extra effort, and now the staffers are bringing new ideas to the table as well. So you’ll see citizen petitions online right now. Development projects are online. The rolling agenda is online. So people can look maybe three months in advance to see if an item is coming. One of the big initiatives off the ground is the feeding of kids over the summer. MK I was going to ask you about that. PH We meet next week. I try to meet with every group that could possibly be involved. UNC stepped up to the table offering resources and

help, and we’re meeting next Tuesday to kick that off. More than 3,000 children are on free and reduced lunch. So they qualify for federal assistance for food. And one of the issues happening with all the state cutbacks in education is that school systems have cut back on summer schools. So normally those children, a lot of them, would go to summer school, and they would get their breakfast and lunch at school. And they’re home for almost 10 weeks, and they’re not having those breakfasts and lunches, which means their families are having to spend the money on the food versus the other things they may need. The goal was to get groups to all come together at the table, including TABLE, to work together to figure out how we could cooperatively reach all those children. And the school system is excited about helping out with this because the food is available through the federal subsidy program, but they just don’t have a distribution network. MK There is one really important power that I remember coveting: the power to convene. And it sounds like you’ve jumped into the deep end, taking on a big project, and you’re implementing that strength of the office right away. PH And that was the whole intention behind it. To be the convener. I don’t have the answers to this problem, but I know we have the resources to figure this out.

MK You’ve talked about discovering Chapel Hill in new ways. Can you tell me a little bit more about what new perspective you have, as mayor? PH I’ve been walking around a lot downtown. I was fascinated to go up to the Rosemary Street deck – Wallace Parking Deck. It’s incredible. A wonderful public space. I understand there’s some dynamics of it being too hot in the summer, those kind of things. But what a fabulous open space, and people aren’t using it. So I know that we are thinking about different plans for that space ... I think it’s a valuable asset as downtown becomes more dense. Here’s a wide-open public space. Watching Carolina Square go up and learning all the dynamics of that has been fascinating, too. A university project being run by a private developer. So it’s an interesting mix of things going up right in the center of town. MK You’ve been getting a lot of phone calls about the construction.

I will say one of the most surprising things is that when citizens write in their complaints, they usually offer solutions .... We have some incredible, very experienced people – well-educated.

MK You have some new people on the council. But I left a few veterans back there. Almost half. So what’s that been like? PH It’s actually worked out pretty well. Because people with experience can help new people learn the ropes, and I’ve tried to get people sitting next to each other to help each other out. Because there is so much newness, even the incumbents are coming up with ideas of things they’d like to see. Now that they see we’re changing things, they have ideas to implement change, too.

PH Citizens have some concerns. And, of course, if you live downtown, it’s a little hard to know that construction may be going on in the evening. It’s not every evening, but certain things have to happen. You can’t bring in concrete trucks during the day with cars and people. Change is hard for people, and, once they get through the change, usually they discover that it wasn’t as bad as they thought it was going to be. Humans are very adaptable. I have my parking space at Town Hall. I get to walk everywhere. I’m enjoying it thoroughly. And people do stop you on the street and ask you questions, and I love that. It’s fun.

MK One of the things that I learned right away: When a person gets the chance to meet the mayor, say in Whole Foods, it’s exciting for them. Especially if they grew up in a larger city, where that’s not conceivable. Sometimes, it makes their day.

MK It’s contagious, I guess?

PH Well, it makes my day, so it’s kind of funny. I try to walk a bit in our neighborhood, and people honk now all the time.

PH I think that’s a good word for it. They can add that history and perspective of “well, we tried this before, and this is the result we got.” And we can use that information to maybe tweak the idea that we have.

MK Have you changed any of your behaviors? I remember, like most people, I used to travel up Martin Luther King Blvd. a little faster than the posted speed limit, until I was mayor.

PH I’m not running to the grocery store in my sweats. I did that already. It didn’t come across very well. People want the mayor to look like the mayor at all times. So that’s been a little interesting. Because I just didn’t ever used to care about that. MK Your husband, Brad, played an active role in the campaign. I’m sure the shock of being recognized or being expected to know everybody in town is something your whole family has to deal with? PH Yes. Though the kids are mostly out of the house. We have one son over here at UNC. But they have all been very supportive and very proud and it’s cute. The kids got me a huge pair of scissors for Christmas for ribbon cutting. ... The funniest gift ever. A four-foot pair of scissors. My husband’s been great. Since it’s just the two of us at home now, we come up with the schedule for the week and say when we are going to have time. He’s teaching at UNC and coaching. We spend our weekends doing field trips in the community, checking things out together. He’s very analytical in nature, and it’s a nice perspective. I’m more of a gut reaction and kind of a take a gander at it, and listen to perspectives and then process. We have maps all over

our dining room right now of Chapel Hill, as we talk about long-term planning. So that’s been a change. MK That’s exactly how my house was. Images of the community, different kinds of maps. PH I will tell you the fun part, too, has been the iconic stories. Hearing them from citizens … I knew some of the stuff before, but the history of Peace and Justice Plaza, the history of the Civil Rights movement, the history of why things are in certain places. Carolina Coffee Shop, Porthole Alley. Those kinds of things. Hearing what they mean to other people I find very heartwarming and also gives you a perspective on why we are so proud of this town, and we have a really, really deep cultural, diverse history where we embrace different perspectives and opinions. MK Whenever you just need to get away from your responsibilities, what do you do? PH My husband and I like to travel. I get outdoors. We love to hike. I’m a gardener, and I play tennis.

MK While I was mayor, there were still a few things I didn’t give up. I was not going to be kept from my Carolina Football games, my Panthers games or my “Downton Abbey.” PH Carolina Basketball and “Downton Abbey”! MK There were just things that had to happen to keep me sane.

MK I don’t think I ever won one of those bets with Roger. So, now that you are the authority on our community … PH I’m the cheerleader. I’m learning to be the authority. MK So say someone is passing through Chapel Hill, but they only have three hours. How can they experience Pam’s Chapel Hill?

PH I could see that. I come home, and I try to get all the emails returned before I go to bed. And so that it makes it a very late night. I will say one of the most surprising things is that when citizens write in their complaints, they usually offer solutions. And I didn’t really get that at the school board or county commission. You just got the complaint. And so that’s helpful. We have some incredible, very experienced people – well-educated. And just people who have been in the community a long time who have some valuable information to offer. But it makes the emails much more in depth.

PH My sister came to town last summer, and I suggested she stay at The Carolina Inn, go to Top of the Hill, walk up and down Franklin Street. She did a little shopping in some of the stores, had lunch at Med Deli. She went to He’s Not Here and walked across campus. Campus is beautiful. That walkability – seeing Chapel Hill from the ground is important – but then she got in the car and drove to a couple of spots. I sent her to Southern Season.

MK I was very impressed that your first council meeting ended within two hours. I wasn’t even able to finish my bottle of wine.

PH But the walkability is what seems to interest a lot of people coming to visit us, and I love that. … We offer a feeling. A sense of place. And you see our diversity, and you see the different things that are all here that make us a unique and wonderful community. CHM

PH I bet [Town Manager] Roger Stancil the time frame. ... And I won!

MK I was going to say: You can’t not go there.

SUGAR RUSH

See Amanda Fisher’s recipe for Tiffin Squares – plus other Chapel Hillians’ takes on Danish butter cookies, honey caramels, blood orange oatmeal cookies and more – beginning on page 72.

The Mullises – seen here running through Coker Arboretum – live in Carrboro and both enjoy time with their Fleet Feet and O2 Fitness families. “[Fitness] has never been a competition between us, but rather more like a gift to each other,” Randy says. Adds Robin: “The fact that we enjoy exercising and can participate in it together makes it easy to be committed.”

ICE PRESIDENT OF CONTENT ANDREA GRIFFITH CASH sat down recently with Founder/Owner Dan Shannon to discuss the early days of this privately owned print and digital media company. “As with any startup, the first years are typically bumpy, but what I mostly remember is how much fun it was,” recalls Dan. “It actually started when an out-of-town friend asked me if there was a magazine in Chapel Hill, and I thought, ‘No, but there should be.’ I think it was the next day that my wife, Ellen, and I began planning the magazine in our kitchen with no idea how it all might turn out, or even if we would be publishing issue No. 2. Now 65 issues later and with a staff of 20, you’re talking to the most grateful guy in town.”

We’re

BEHIND THE SCENES Why did you start Chapel Hill Magazine? How did you know that a local magazine would be successful? We’d been here for several years before the idea even crossed my mind, but I had been in the magazine business for 30 years when Ellen and I launched Chapel Hill Magazine, so it was sort of a natural thing to do. Of course, I couldn’t be sure if we would be commercially successful, but I was confident we could create a good magazine for a great town, which pretty much sums up our business plan. When Chapel Hill Magazine debuted in the spring of 2006, we promised our 36 advertisers that if they didn’t like the magazine for any reason whatsoever, they wouldn’t have to pay for their ad. I was greatly relieved when no one took me up on that guarantee. What have been the biggest surprises that have accompanied this chapter of your life? How genuinely welcoming Chapel Hill has been even from day one, particularly among our lifetime residents. And how our little company has consistently attracted such great and talented people.

I want to share with readers some of your key philosophies and get you to react: “Local. Local. Local. Don’t just write in a story that someone is a Chapel Hillian. Did they grow up here? When did they move here? What neighborhood do they live in? Where do their kids go to school?” That seems to stand the test of time, doesn’t it? “We must be mindful of the people we cover. The day someone sees themselves in our magazine may be a day they will remember forever. We need to, in a lot of ways, protect them.” We’re not in the “gotcha” business. It’s so easy to embarrass someone if we’re not careful. An unflattering pose, an awkward moment, particularly when we run photos of kids – that’s just not what we’re about. On the other hand, no one gets prior photo approval, either. People are the worst judges of their own reflections, aren’t they? “Always be willing to cut copy if it means we can make the spread look nicer and use more/larger photos.” I couldn’t have said it better myself.

We’ve produced scores of issues. Which ones stand out? My favorite issue is always the one at the Dan collaborates with one of our editors, Amanda MacLaren. “We don’t have readers. We have printer or the next one we’re working on. neighbors.” But we did a cover story saluting our World True. I would add that our advertisers aren’t just clients – they’re our War II veterans that I’m proud of, that I still recall fondly. And the articles we did with Elizabeth Edwards – what a great woman. And friends first. any issue or article that showcases kids reminds me of our mission here – to tell stories of hope and achievement. As for columnists, our “Be wary of covering a business that hasn’t yet opened.” first was Freddie Kiger, and his debut article was about a redwood Yes, that was a lesson learned several times. tree near the old town hall, which he renamed Fredwood. Who doesn’t love Freddie? Thoughts on the future? The thing that I like most about working here is that we never slow down or settle … The recession was hard on everyone, especially print We just can’t. We need to reach our readers and serve our advertisers publications. Why are things humming along for us? wherever they are, on whatever platform they want – the company has Because we provide the community with information and an experience 30,000 Twitter followers.

EN YEARS AGO, ON MARCH 25, CHRISTINE DeMaere and Trevor Hoke were married at Hillsborough Presbyterian Church surrounded by

family and friends, including many Chapel Hill High School and East Chapel Hill High School alumni. The N.C. State grads’ story and photos were featured on our pages back in 2006 as this publication’s first wedding. The couple has since moved to Charlotte and started a family. Daughter Lucy is 5, and son George is 3. Chapel Hill remains a favorite place to visit, and they return on holidays and several weekends out of the year to see family, including their parents, Kim and Tim Hoke, and Catherine and Guido DeMaere. Kidzu Children’s Museum, Armadillo Grill and City Kitchen are among their top destinations while in town. 64

Since tying the knot, the couple has remained hard at work in their respective fields. Christine now works as a partner at K&L Gates LLP, an international law firm, and focuses her practice on private equity and finance transactions. Trevor is a senior financial analyst with private banking group Wickham Cash Partners at Merrill Lynch. In their spare time, Christine and Trevor train for the half-marathon they run each November and travel to spots like Wrightsville Beach, Miami and southern France to visit cousins. Though it’s been a decade of wedded bliss, the couple has actually been together since they started dating in 1996 as students at CHHS. Christine divulged three key assets that have helped them thrive for going on two decades: “Communication. Kindness. And a sense of humor.” – Sophia Lucente

ARY AND ANGELA HILL FIRST APPEARED ON

our pages back in the September/October 2006 issue, just a few months after getting married at University Presbyterian Church. Following a reception at the Fearrington Barn and a honeymoon in St. Lucia, the couple moved to a new home on Oakwood Drive. That same summer, a boating accident on Jordan Lake left Angela with broken bones and no vision in one eye. In January/February 2010, we caught up with the pair, who said they came away from the experience with a renewed sense of gratitude. “Everybody says, ‘Appreciate every day for what it’s worth,’” Gary said at the time. “You’re like, ‘Yeah, right.’ You go through this, and, yes, you really do appreciate how fortunate you are to have, well, for me, Angela.” That sentiment is still serving the Chapel Hill natives well six years

later as they raise their twins, Georgia and Lucy, who turn 4 in April. “Having our little ones, who grow up so quickly, has helped me take a step back from my agenda and learn to go with the flow a little more and enjoy small, special moments as they appear,” Angela says. Although they spend weekends at kid-friendly spots such as the Ephesus Elementary playground, they still make time for date nights at favorites like Acme or Squid’s. Angela, a private Spanish tutor, and Gary, who works in commercial real estate at Avison Young, have a lot to look forward to this summer. They’ve bought the childhood home of one of Gary’s friends and will wrap up renovations around the time they’ll celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary. Their move across town to Lake Forest means “hopefully, we’ll be having a glass of bubbly on a canoe trip across the lake [to celebrate].” – Jessica Stringer

BACON OR BUST The BLT from Merritt’s is iconic for a reason. We’ve dispensed this advice before, but it bears repeating: Get a double. A single leaves you wanting more, and a triple is a bit overwhelming. The double provides just the right bacon-to-bread ratio. And pick up extra napkins. Trust us.

HERE TO SERVE Caroline Blomquist has dealt with plenty of weird scenarios during her more than two decades as a waitress. (Chances are, she’s brought you sushi at Akai Hana.) There was the time she had to go to court to deal with a colleague-turnedstalker. There was the crazed woman who wandered into the restaurant and called Caroline a “Nazi pony.” OK, so that’s the downside of the job. The upside? Sleeping in. “Not everyone is built to be up in the morning,” she told us for our story on longtime front-ofhouse staffers, which we published in September/October 2010. PHOTO BY BRIANA BROUGH

A FEW OF THOSE WE’VE LOVED AND LOST OVER THE YEARS

Elizabeth Edwards PHOTO BY ZEKE SMITH

She was kind enough to sit down for Chapel Hill Magazine interviews twice, telling us in September/October 2009 how grateful she was for her quiet Chapel Hill life: “The only place to live is where you have your feet on the ground, where you have dishes to wash, and where you have people to hug and people to hug you back.”

Dean Smith What can we say. Our town lost a legend last year, and not just because he was a great coach. He was a humanitarian – a fighter for social justice – first.

Bill Guthridge We photographed Coach Guthridge at many events, including 2012's Fast Break Against Cancer with George Karl and Roy Williams.

He was always friendly and gracious – someone who embodied the Tar Heel spirit. 80

Joe Thompson We talked to Joe when he was in his 10th decade. He was still fiddling. Mostly because his protégés – talented musicians like the Carolina Chocolate Drops – wouldn’t let him quit. His music lives on.

IN MEMORIAM

PHOTO BY MACKENZIE BROUGH PROPS

Over the course of his 83 years, Roland (pictured below with his wife, Helen – they were married for 59 years) held a variety of titles in Chapel Hill – from reporter, Chapel Hill Magazine columnist, publisher, radio host and “old codger blogger” to town alderman and the area’s most enthusiastic ukulele player. “Some people seem to think that I’m a kind of local character,” he told us in late 2008, just months before his death. “It’s been a fine career. I look back on it – not with the feeling that I’ve done so many good things – I’ve just enjoyed what I did, whether it was newspaper, radio, magazines or politics.”

Ted Seagroves

“My favorite thing about Chapel Hill is the openness and the diversity of people here,” Ted told us in September/October 2012. “You can be a mason contractor and run around with the president of the university. It’s one of the easiest places I could imagine moving into and becoming whatever you could imagine.” The Vietnam veteran, owner/operator of his family insurance business and best friend to Roy Williams had made Chapel Hill home since the early 1970s. He passed away in late 2014.

“My success was so sudden, so effortless on my part, that they decided to write a special story for the issue of Redbook with my picture on the cover. The story was called ‘The Rise of Georgia.’” That’s what Georgia wrote in her memoir about her rise, first as a model and later as an actress and singer for her husband’s (Kay Kyser) big band. She was a poster girl for the American Red Cross in 1939.

When we interviewed him at age 91, he was still energetic as ever, saying about the town, “There’s something about the place that says, ‘Get up and get going. You’ve got to do something today. You’ve got to make a move here that’s important.’”

WHAT WOULD THIS MAGAZINE BE WITHOUT ITS IMAGES? WE ASKED LONGTIME STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER BRIANA BROUGH TO REMINISCE ABOUT HER FAVORITE SHOTS AND SHARE SOME OF HER SECRETS. BY ANDREA GRIFFITH CASH

Which covers have been your favorites? One of my favorite covers ever was the one with Mandolin Orange in front of the flag mural in Carrboro. I thought metalworker Leo Gaev made a great cover, and, of course, the one with Alex and Kate Sayre in front of the cottage they had renovated on Graham Street was super fun and just so Chapel Hill. I loved capturing UNC Chancellor Carol Folt and former N.C. Governor Bev Perdue and thought they both made great covers. OK, now your least favorite. And what would you have done differently? Some of the earlier food shots were pretty rough. There was one with several of the best sandwiches in town, and I probably would 86

have suggested we just focus on one and really work on the styling to make it perfect. And I don’t like the one with the red sorbet in the Chapel Hill bowl. The sorbet looks like it’s glowing, and I would have put it on a blue background or something so the cover didn’t look so sparse. Live and learn, right? Food. Fashion. Home and garden. The arts. Personalities. Business. Is there a category that you like the most? I love shooting personalities and trying to capture the essence of someone in a portrait. I love that I get to meet so many interesting people – it’s basically the best job ever. I also love shooting the How They Live feature because I’m fascinated by interior design, and it’s always fun to talk to people about how they make their space

You’re also the photographer for Durham Magazine, and you work on both publications simultaneously. Any big differences in terms of your approach? We often talk at the office about how to make the two publications look different, and there are some subtle things that I do to try to achieve that goal – I probably go for more natural light, more of a “lifestyle” vibe in Chapel Hill. But mainly I just try to find the most interesting and flattering image in any situation, regardless of location.

We don’t often get a chance to talk about your bio. I have seen you on shoots reconnect with old classmates, old teachers. You were a Chapel Hill kid, right? How did you get this job? Do you think being native to this area gives you an advantage? I grew up in Carrboro, actually. Chapel Hill High School class of ’99. I left town after college (UNC class of ’03) to pursue photojournalism but came back in 2008 when I got this job. I had always hoped I’d be able to return to the area and cover the community that feels like home to me, but I didn’t think it was very likely. Journalism jobs were few and far between in the mid-2000s, and choosing your location was almost unheard of. Honestly, I had just taken a job in Wilmington in an effort to get back to North Carolina, and I wasn’t even really looking, but Dan Shannon ran into my future father-inlaw at a Chamber of Commerce event in Durham and somehow they ended up talking about the fact that Dan was looking for a photographer. He was just about to launch Durham Magazine. I applied on a bit of a whim and got the job. And the rest is history. I’m not sure being a native gives me an advantage, except that I can usually establish rapport

with people pretty quickly by figuring out who we know in common. In the rest of the world, it might be six degrees of separation, but in Chapel Hill, it’s like two. Can you go anywhere in Chapel Hill/Carrboro without running into someone you’ve photographed for the magazine? No, not really. If it’s not someone I’ve photographed, it’s someone I went to high school with. Or went to preschool with. Or waited on when I worked at

Elmo’s in college. It feels like a very small town sometimes, but I like that. And I live in Durham.

You have such an ability to take the most reluctant and shy people and make them comfortable in front of the camera. How on earth do you do that? I feel their pain. Being photographed can be awkward. When else is someone you barely know staring directly at you for an extended period of time? I find that asking people questions and really listening to the answers helps set them at ease. If I can make someone laugh, it really helps. I just try to be genuine and connect with people. And I really try to make them look good. You are also able to talk people into doing some crazy stuff for the camera. Am I? I don’t know what you’re talking about. I mean, yes, I did casually suggest that Daniel Wallace get into his pool and swim around fully clothed, and we are still picking grits out of the carpet

from when I asked LaPlace chef Jeremy Blankenship to blow handfuls of them at the camera, but nothing too crazy, really. I’ll work on that this year. Between Chapel Hill Magazine and Durham Magazine, you’ve shot more than 100 issues. I meet so many photographers who want to do editorial work, but it’s harder and harder to come by these days. Not bad for a hometown gal. Man, I know. I’m so lucky. I’ve wanted to be a photographer since I shot sports for the Chapel Hill High yearbook in 1997.

How have changes in your life affected your work? I imagine you are more comfortable photographing kids now than you were five years ago, being the mom of two little boys.

After purchasing the three bedroom, three-and-a-half bathroom home at the end of 2008, Courtney went to work on designing a cosmetic facelift for the space, which involved remodeling the bathrooms and kitchen and spending hours and hours shopping on Craigslist and eBay. Her choices were bold. “I’m not scared of using color,” she told us. “If you hate it, you can repaint.”

Meanwhile, Matthew has kept alive his passion for music, playing in the Brown Orchestra for three years and composing music whenever – and wherever – inspiration strikes him. “Music has become an integral part of who I am,” says Matthew, who returned to Carnegie Hall for round two last year. “It’s an honor to play on a stage graced by Jay Z, The Beatles and Tchaikovsky.” In November, Matthew finally got a view from the audience at the premiere of a performance of his own concerto for string quartet, a piece of music he had written while at Brown. In February, he debuted his newest violin piece, titled “In Carolina Blue” – an ode to his Chapel Hill roots. And music isn’t all he’s composing. “Since high school, I have been reading and writing more poetry,” he says. “A few of my poems are decent.” Decent enough to land him in the finals of the 2014 Stanford Code Poetry Slam, a nationally reputed competition. At the end of the day, the most impressive thing about Matthew isn’t what’s on his resume – it’s his refreshing humility and wit. – Caroline Roessler

CONNOR BERNSTEIN Graduated from The Hawbridge School in Saxapahaw Senior at Georgetown University Majoring in psychology & minoring in business administration

WNING A BUSINESS IS NO SMALL FEAT. Yet Connor had accomplished this exploit by the time he was in fourth grade with Connor’s Kits for Kids, a company selling kid-friendly science kits. So how does a young scientist and budding entrepreneur follow such an accomplishment? Connor joined forces with a fellow student, expanding his company and learning from other influential entrepreneurs and investors at Georgetown University. Just as he had planned five years ago, Connor took a gap year after graduating from high school and spent this time learning how to improve his company at conferences and trade shows across the country. Then he was accepted to Georgetown and landed a spot in their Entrepreneurship Fellows Program. “I’ve had the opportunity to listen to so many incredible,

successful individuals both as professors and as speakers in my classes,” Connor says. “Being constantly surrounded by successful people is such a great motivator to always push myself.” He partnered with a fellow undergrad at Georgetown, and together they decided to shift the aim of the company in order to make a greater impact within schools and educational programs. The organization now provides science activity packs for after-school programs, such as the YMCA, Boy Scouts and Boys & Girls Clubs that are looking to implement an exciting and interactive STEM curriculum. Upon graduation in May, Connor is looking forward to working at a small hedge fund in San Francisco, where he will have the chance to learn about business, finance and economics from an entirely new perspective. Fast-forward five years, and where can we expect to see Connor? “I may stick with the fulltime job I’m starting in July, go get an MBA or get involved with another cool startup.” – Julia Baker March 2016 chapelhillmagazine.com

WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

ALEXA YEAMES Attended Carrboro High School & graduated from UNC School of the Arts Bicoastal actress

IVE YEARS AGO, ALEXA HAD ALREADY SIGNED with Talent One, memorized Shakespearean lines and acted in the made-for-TV movie “The Shunning.” With the support of her high school theater teacher, Brett Stegall, she transferred to the UNC School of the Arts drama program in Winston-Salem, spending her senior year in class and rehearsals every day until 9:45 p.m. After a brief stint at Boston University, she earned a spot on The CW show “The Originals” and moved to New York City, where she continued to audition and train anywhere she could. Alexa went on to act in several independent films; her starring role in “Available” earned her a best actress nomination at the 2013 Austin Indie Flix Showcase. She also satisfied her passion for period pieces in the Civil War drama “Field of Lost Shoes.” “It’s never about getting the job – because if you’re doing that, you’re not working on yourself artistically,” Alexa says. “It’s a tough industry. You don’t do this because you love it; you do this because you can’t see yourself doing anything else.” Undaunted, she found an agent and studied extensively with The Shakespeare Forum. These days, the actress’s multifaceted career is in full bloom. In September, Alexa moved to Los Angeles in search of TV pilot auditions.

DENZEL INGRAM Graduated from Chapel Hill High School Redshirt junior at UNC-Wilmington Majoring in criminal justice

HEN WE LAST TALKED TO Denzel, he was a rising basketball star at Chapel Hill High School. After two years playing for the 49ers at UNC-Charlotte (where he scored a career-high 30 points against William & Mary), Denzel needed a “change of scenery.” The now-redshirt junior at UNC-Wilmington says after sitting out a season he learned his new teammates “loved to compete and played very hard” – two things Denzel likes to do himself. Now in his first season of play, he’s hoping his time at UNC-W will help him fine-tune his game even more, crediting head coach Kevin Keatts with already improving his ball screens. Though he concedes

Maintaining contact with her New York agent and her Chapel Hillbased parents, the bicoastal actress sees plenty of travel in her future. Though theater remains her first love, she’s thinking big nowadays and is attracted to productions that take audiences out of their comfort zones. “Film and TV are still the most pervasive art forms that are available to actors,” she says. “I would love an opportunity to work on a project that can just touch so many people in a way that is also kind of permanent.” – Sophia Lucente

college-level basketball is a lot more challenging than high school, Denzel is motivated to continue to compete in the game he loves. “I plan to play basketball until I can’t anymore,” he says, which bodes well for him, considering he’s had no major injuries so far. Back when we interviewed him in 2011, Denzel said, “If you respect [your teammates], then they’ll show it right back.” It’s advice he’s followed over the years, especially when transferring brought him a new set of teammates. “The best way to show respect is to come in with a positive attitude,” he says. “Show them that you’re all in with them, and just be yourself.” Someday Denzel hopes to be a lawyer, putting his major in criminal justice to good use. But right now, he’s focused on his first season on the court as a Seahawk and his final two years of college eligibility. – Martha Upton

ANKED NO. 1 IN THE country at the age of 15 in the 18-and-under singles division. A five-star tennis recruit her senior year. Now a Tar Heel and member of the team that claimed the 2015 ITA Division I National Women’s Team Indoor Championship. How does Chloe do it? The key is being single-minded. “Right now my focus is 100% on being the best college player I can be,” she says. In high school, Chloe carried a notebook with her to compose an analysis of her opponents at the instruction of Michal “Z” Zaluski, her coach at the time. When deciding on a college, Chloe looked for a coach who could help her hone this personalized approach and a team whose energy was so vibrant that it followed her on the court. At commitment time, UNC topped her list. After sustaining a wrist injury at 15, Chloe dealt with setbacks, but didn’t let that get her down. “[Recovery] has been a really frustrating process because it’s often that you have to get worse before you can get better,” she says. “I’m starting to feel that I will soon be able to play well consistently again.” Her recovery has coincided with being thrust into the exciting environment at UNC, where she’s building her skills. While Chloe is currently undecided on her major, she’s considering psychology and is working on striking a balance among tennis, academics and a social life. So what comes next for this tennis protégé? “My dream is to win the team NCAA Championship and to then play professionally after college,” she says. – Julia Baker

BEN GRIFFIN Graduated from East Chapel Hill High School Sophomore at UNC Majoring in economics

EN WAS ON THE DRIVING range before he had fully learned to walk. Now a sophomore at UNC, his long-held ambition of playing golf in college has become reality. Though he has no shortage of high school accolades, including winning the Rolex Tournament of Champions (one of the top under-18 tournaments in the world), he values the accomplishments from his freshman year at UNC above them all. “Being an AllAmerican was something I dreamed about, and I’m very grateful to have done so,” Ben says. He’s the first to be named AllAmerican in golf at UNC since 2008 and has competed in every tournament for the team thus far, a rarity for freshmen. When he’s not on UNC Finley Golf Course, you can find him in business and economics classes. Ben says it’s tough to mix hours of practice with the rigorous academics at UNC, but that’s part of the reason he wanted to spend his college career there. “Also, I wanted to attend a university that I felt would win national championships,” he adds. For the strides he’s made, Ben recognizes UNC men’s golf head coach Andrew Sapp, associate head coach Andrew DiBitetto and their efforts to make the team one of the best. Plus, his teammates. “Our team as a whole does a good job of pushing one another to get better every day,” Ben says. “Basically, we try to mentor each other.” Ben continues to strive toward playing golf professionally, competing in as many as 19 tournaments each year. With each tournament presenting a new course to play on, Ben says, “I don’t plan on being bored by the game anytime soon.” – Martha Upton March 2016 chapelhillmagazine.com

WE AREN’T THE ONLY ONES CELEBRATING A DECADE IN BUSINESS

JUJUBE “I learned a very important lesson when I opened: You only have so much say in what kind of place you create. Turns out, your customers have a lot to say about that. We thought we’d be this ultra-hip, young crowd kind of place. ... We became more of a neighborhood place. Professionals and older people (by that I basically mean my age) made it their home. I have never worked at or run a place that had so many kind and interesting people that came in so often. The people who frequent Jujube are really a wonderful batch of folks.” – Charlie Deal, owner DSI COMEDY THEATER “After performing shows at our annual comedy festival for a few years, students and friends kept asking how they could do what they were watching on stage. So, we announced our first improv class, and the rest was history. Our school has registered over 2,000 students [in 10 years], some traveling from as far away as Charlotte, Wilmington and Richmond. The vast majority of those students were not interested in performing comedy, at first. Then they fell in love with the opportunity to be creative and just play, in an atmosphere of unconditional support.” – Zach Ward, owner and artistic director

GARDEN GATE “By far, the best part of doing business in Chapel Hill is the people. They’re a pleasure to work with, and I really like the hands-on approach and collaborating with customers to build something. Years ago, there was a lot of upsizing, but now people are staying in one place and making their house a home. They want their home and garden to have a personality and want to have people over and socialize, so there’s great opportunity to make places for people to entertain. That was my goal. I wanted to improve the environment in which you live to make you a happier person and feel connected with nature and your family and friends.”– Scott Nilsen, owner KIDZU CHILDREN’S MUSEUM “Kidzu launched in 2006 on East Franklin Street, moved to University Square in 2011, then was given the opportunity to move into the space at University Place that had been the temporary home of the Chapel Hill Public Library. Shortly after opening our doors in 2014, Kidzu needed to vacate due to the construction of Silverspot Cinema. University Place allowed us to operate a popup location for several months and worked with us to open our current location in April 2015. I’m reminded every day that it takes an entire community to build a great children’s museum! – Lisa Van Deman, executive director

You have likely never heard of Joe

Davis.

However, if you are passing through his neighborhood any morning, you’ll see him and his loyal golden retriever Bodhi walking - not one leading the other, but walking together. Joe is the kind of guy who will walk with you - not try to pull you, not try to push. He is the guy that if you are down, he’ll say something to get you smiling and help you figure out a way to solve your problems. If you just heard the best news of your life, he’s always first in line to give you a hug and high five. Either way, you’ll have an open invitation to dinner any time you’re in the neighborhood or just want to stop by for a good meal and company. Joe Davis has enjoyed the last 30 plus years as a financial advisor helping people define their dreams.

Joe has designed a website so you can find your dreams and live life reaching them. The Go For Your Dreams (goforurdreams.com) website is not like any site you have ever been to before.

Joe has a history of helping people define their dreams. From helping an African orphanage create a unique model (sheltering-wings.org), to having a bake sale at his house for Nepalese Earthquake Disaster Relief, to supporting TABLE (tablenc.org), an organization dedicated to helping local children have food to take home after school, Joe is always out there, helping dreams come true.

EYES EARS NOSE AND PAWS (EENP) KNOWS THAT THE BOND BETWEEN A DOG AND ITS OWNER REACHES BEYOND EMOTIONAL HEALTH â&#x20AC;&#x201C; IT CAN SAVE LIVES THROUGH MEDICAL ALERT TRAINING BY JILL WARREN LUCAS | PHOTOGRAPHY BY BRIANA BROUGH

EB CUNNINGHAM WAS AT THE ORANGE COUNTY Animal Services Center to check on a dog recommended by staff as having potential for Eyes Ears Nose and Paws (EENP), her nonprofit organization that trains and places assistance dogs. The pup, a larger breed that might have one day helped a person with mobility challenges, had already gone home with an adoptive family. But there was another dog that showed potential. JJ was a little white fluff ball, a mixed-breed terrier that could never reach a light switch or help someone navigate a crowded sidewalk. But she was attentive, curious and eager to please.

for a week to see if she might be a good fit for EENP’s medical alert program, where size does not matter. “She scored well on everything and, of course, she was adorable,” Deb says, recalling the 2011 meeting, which led to a year of intensive training prior to client assignment. “She was outstanding at alerting to scents.” Since its founding in 2008, EENP has trained various breeds to assist clients located within a two-and-a-half-hour drive of its Carrboro office. Medical alert training focuses primarily on diabetes, where spikes or drops in blood sugar can render a person unable to manage their medical emergency. Dogs are taught to identify the discrete scents emitted by an individual shortly before a severe reaction, allowing essential time for potentially lifesaving intervention. ONE RESOUNDING YES While JJ was in the early stages of training, Michelle Krawczyk and her family had relocated to North Carolina. They left hot, humid Florida for the Triangle’s more moderate climate to benefit their thentoddler daughter KK, who was diagnosed at 2 months old with mastocytosis. The rare disease triggers production of excess mast cells that cause skin lesions and digestive distress as well as affects blood pressure. It also can produce dangerous anaphylactic shock.

“We were afraid to let her out of our sight,” says Michelle, a former nurse who had been reaching out to animal assistance programs across the country before discovering EENP, which is close to KK’s doctors at UNC and Duke. “We wanted her life to be as normal as possible. Everyone I called said no – there was nothing they could do for KK’s condition. When Deb asked if there was a smell associated with her alerts, I thought she was a nutcase. But she was the only nutcase willing to talk to me.” Michelle provided clothing KK wore during an alert in which she needed immediate medical intervention. The garments became key tools in JJ’s training, as she now can identify an alert early enough that calming techniques and rest often can resolve what previously required a trip to the emergency room. JJ’s abilities have astounded medical professionals, who have seen proof of her skill when she barks out a warning before monitoring equipment detects evidence of a problem. She’s even been allowed to stay by KK’s side and serve as a recognized medical tool during two surgical procedures. JJ’s accomplishments led to her being honored as a 2014 Hero Dog by the American Humane Association. “To think she was left, unwanted, at the overnight shelter drop-off,” Michelle says as her daughter, now a happy third-grader, snuggles JJ in their kitchen. “It would be

“It’s not unusual for our clients to refer to their dog as their hero,” he says. “It’s very different from being a helpmate. A hero aspires to do something very emotional and personally be involved. ‘Life-changing’ is an overused phrase, but it legitimately applies here. Thanks to Deb and Maria, this happens more often than you might think.” Deb, the program director, and Maria

Ikenberry, the executive director, both

involved with disability services since the 1970s, when he helped draft the original National Handicap Code for the American National Standards Institute while a graduate student at Syracuse University. Josh says that EENP will provide assistance dogs to more North Carolina clients in the future through its partnership with Franklin Correctional Center in Bunn. Qualified inmates are training puppies for the program, which hopes to eventually offer post-release employment opportunities. “These men are given a huge responsibility to live with and train the dogs,” says Deb, who currently works with 17 inmates. “They benefit from special relationships with the dogs that are just not typically present in prison. There’s no hugging in prison, no visits with the family dog. It makes a big difference in their daily life and outlook.” And just as KK’s classmates gain empathy for people with disabilities and appreciation of the role of service animals, fellow inmates benefit from contact with sweet-tempered dogs and aspire to gain job skills that might impress an employer. “I can’t give you hard data because we’re new at this, but similar programs have been shown to create a decrease in disciplinary infractions,” Deb says. “They help themselves by playing an important role in helping people with disabilities to live their lives more safely.” KK agrees. “I couldn’t even go to the bathroom by myself before,” says the 9-year-old, who credits still-small JJ for making her world much bigger. “Now I can play outside during recess and do all kinds of things. She’s my best friend in the whole world.” CHM

PLEASANT VILLE THE ANDREWS’ PLEASANT GREEN FARMS HOMESTEAD COMBINES ‘TRADITIONALWITH-A-TWIST’ STYLE AND SCENIC VIEWS

BY JESSICA STRINGER | PHOTOGRAPHY BY BRIANA BROUGH

TO CALL THIS HOMESTEAD PASTORAL IS an understatement. The house sits on 25 acres that seem worlds away from downtown Hillsborough, though it’s a 10-minute drive. Cows graze outside the window of Nathan Andrews’ office, and sunlight spills in. On the second floor, his wife, Karrie, sees an identical view from her desk. Horses roam the pasture a

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an inspiring setting thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s caused son Dugan, 13, to declare he wants to be a farmer when he grows up. Though Karrie and Nathan grew up moving around the country, they both landed in Chapel Hill around the same time. As a sophomore, Nathan was assigned to write an incoming freshman a letter as a welcome to the Air Force ROTC program at UNC. That

freshman was Karrie, and the two hit it off right away, spending time together at Nathan’s job at the student union bowling alley and at He’s Not Here. The couple got married just before his graduation from Kenan-Flagler Business School in 1993 and moved into an apartment – and then their first home – in south Durham. A year later, Karrie graduated from the pharmacy school. As their family grew to include Dugan and daughter Virginia (who goes by Jinkie), now 12, they knew it was time for something bigger. ‘PLENT Y OF SPACE AND NATURE’ The family called Meadowmont home for more than a decade and watched the neighborhood grow up. They loved being a fiveminute drive from UNC and having restaurants within walking distance. In March, they’ll mark six months in a neighborhood that’s decidedly different. “There’s plenty of space and nature,” 150

Nathan says. “It’s quiet, and there’s no traffic, just tranquility.” Based out of Deloitte’s Raleigh office, Nathan has spent the past 20 years on the road working as a national tax partner and relishes his downtime with his family. “There’s something nice about coming home and seeing cows,” Nathan says. “It mellows you out.” For Karrie, the family’s Pleasant Green Farms home is not a far drive to her job at Southern Village Pharmacy and only “two traffic lights” from Duke School, where her kids go. It also presented a chance to team up once again with Amy Jeffries from Minta Bell Design Group, who had worked on their Meadowmont house. “We got each other immediately,” Karrie says of their complementary styles and collaborative relationship.

A NEW DEVELOPMENT The original homeowners, Alice and Trig Horton, raised their family on a bit more land than the Andrews have now. Moving from New Jersey to Hillsborough after a long search for farmland in the early ‘80s, the Hortons sought to create a cattle farm and build their version of a historic Federal farmhouse on 500 acres. “The farmer who owned the land and grew soybeans and winter wheat there didn’t have the land for sale formally,” recalls Alice,

“but he wasn’t dumb when he saw Yankees coming south to buy land, and we quickly achieved a sale.” They worked with Durham architect Tommy O’Shea to design the house and hired Alf Sjoberg to provide old boards for flooring. “When we first walked the property – which had no driveway except a dirt one back to the big barn – we walked through fields of soybeans with daisies abundant at the edges,” Alice says. “My husband visually located the highest spot on the property to build [the] house, overlooking a lake.” The Hortons lived there for 30 years before selling it in 2005 to their daughter and sonin-law, who raised their own family there for a decade. Now they’ve turned those original 500 acres into 10-acre home sites as the developers of Pleasant Green Farms. Characterized by wide-open skies, rolling terrain and pockets of trees, the community was planned so that none of the homes on the 33 lots block the view of the neighbors.

WILD, WILD WALLS As Karrie and Amy sought to make each room welcoming and “traditional with a twist,” they embraced the occasional daring choice. “[Amy] really knows what I like,” Karrie says. “She’d have a wild idea and say, ‘Karrie, you’re the only one [with the guts to] do it.’” Karrie fondly recalls the textured bold black wallpaper with butterflies they picked out for the Meadowmont dining room, calling it one of the things she missed the most after moving. (Nathan calls it a “classic Amy and Karrie” pick.) For this dining room, they chose an Asian-inspired landscape wallpaper that makes a dramatic statement along with the purple velvet chairs. The adjoining sunroom’s walls are covered in a bright bird-patterned paper, appropriate for the space’s views of the garden with a birdhouse. Still, Amy and Karrie showed restraint in areas like the foyer, keeping the walls unadorned and letting the impressive cherry staircase shine. “It can be hard for Karrie and I to

LOCAL GALLERY If it weren’t so far from downtown, the Andrews’ living room could easily pass for a stop on the Last Friday Art Walk in Hillsborough. Most of the works were done by local artists, including Jane Filer, Graham Auman and Amy Jeffries of Minta Bell Design Group. Amy ended up creating a one-of-a-kind piece for the family at Sarah P. Duke Gardens on a stormy day when raindrops splattered the paper. Karrie once took an art class with Jane at The ArtsCenter in Carrboro but it wasn’t until a few years later that the Andrews bought the painting above. “[Tyndall Galleries owner] Jane Tyndall brought over several pieces to try and that one was a perfect fit,” Karrie says. They’ve also got two smaller pieces by Jane hanging in their family room.

pull back and simplify because we both love patterns and influences so much,” Amy says. “But we could really see that the house deserved to be appreciated for the architectural elements in many cases.” Step in the barn or mudroom bathroom – black-and-white horses gallop across the walls – and you’ll notice the equine theme carried inside and out. After a few lessons and some fox hunting, Karrie was hooked on horses. For years, she boarded her own horse, Tucker, at a barn off Mount Sinai Road. But having her own barn means that he and the other horses they board can now run in pastures closer to home. Ample trails and easements allow riders like Karrie to traverse acres of the picturesque land where two-thirds of the lots can accommodate horses. “I mostly ride alone because Tucker doesn’t get along with other horses,” Karrie says, laughing. “He thinks he’s the king of the world.” Between having Tucker close by and watching her kids explore their new surroundings, Karrie says, “I knew I would be perfectly, wonderfully happy here.” CHM 162

It didn’t take much to turn former Rosemary Street bar Industry into neighborhood gathering place Northside District. A little paint and a new bar made the space warm and cozy in time for its fall opening while the name change was a nice nod to the historic area. But the best move by the owners – including UNC grad Dave Chong – was putting chef Michael Krock in charge of dreaming up international small plates. Drawing on his time as the chef for Durham-based KoKyu BBQ food truck, Michael also created the menu “based on where I used to eat and hang in Brooklyn.” Hence the diverse offerings with tongue-in-cheek names like Wu Tang, an excellent seared pork belly slider with sesame slaw, and Aspartacus, roasted asparagus with Parmesan and a six-minute egg. My favorite was the Maduro, sweet plantains garnished with cilantro and mint that stood out on a menu dominated by savory bites. Northside District is open till 2 a.m. – anyone looking for a nightcap and a snack is in luck. Small plates $4-$8 – Jessica Stringer CHM

Italian Pizzeria III “IP3, the Place to Be”

Pizza and game viewings, and so much more The Italian Pizzeria III is a Chapel Hill tradition. Brothers Angelo and Vincenzo Marrone have been serving up authentic fresh-dough Italian pizza and other delicious Italian specialties in Chapel Hill since 1980. Everything is homemade every day from fresh ingredients from the dough pulled every morning to the sauce made from Mamma Saletta’s famous recipe. Try a baked speciality such as manicotti, or a plate of Shrimp alla Fradiavola, another house specialty. And don’t forget the Ravioli alla Napoli, with chicken, bacon, ham, and fresh tomato in a pink cream sauce. IP3 has pitcher specials on a good selection of draft beer, including Yuengling, Sam Adams, and Bud Light. The perennial winners of Indy Week’s Best Place to Watch International Soccer, IP3 is a fantastic place to catch the big game whether you’re cheering on the Italian National Team or cheering on UNC sports to the big win!

Eye on the Pie I have a love-hate relationship with pie. Long ago, during my brief career as a pastry chef, flaky-crusted pies were my specialty. One day, I made pie crust exactly as I always did, but that evening, something shocking happened. Our customers’ dessert plates returned from the dining room with only one bite missing. When I tasted my usually irresistible French silk pie, alas, the crust was tough as shoe leather. I discovered, too late, that the kitchen manager had changed to a less expensive brand of flour with gluten that was unsuitable for pastry. Scarred for life, I swore off making pie crust when we opened our own restaurant. There’s not a rolling pin in my kitchen to this day. Fortunately for pie lovers in the family, I can find perfectly good pie crusts at local grocers. Pillsbury, still made with real lard, is as reliable as ever; Mrs. Smith’s, even flakier. Trader Joe’s pie crust, the least costly, is outstanding. TJ’s are packaged in rolls, requiring transfer to your own pie pan. The downside is a tendency to break apart,

so be prepared to spend some time patching it back together. Weaver Street Market’s crust used to be my favorite, but like those confusing cans of tomatoes, it now offers choices – palm oil or butter. The palm oil crust isn’t flaky, but “short,” like many European pies, yet pleasingly tender. The queen of store-bought pie crusts is Whole Foods’ Wholly Wholesome Traditional pie shells. Unless they have changed the recipe recently to make it vegan-friendly, it tastes like homemade grandma crust to me, maybe because the crimping almost looks like it was done by an actual human. Pie making may be easy for the experienced, but it’s also easy to screw up. If your pie crust comes in an aluminum pan, recrimp the edges with your thumb and fingers. This not only makes the pie look like you made it yourself, but thickens the edge so it’s less likely to cook too fast. Whether crust is homemade or comes in a sheet, the material of your pie pan (glass, metal or ceramic) will affect the cooking time. If you prebake it without a filling, no problem, but

there’s a trick to filled pies: the filling and crust need to finish cooking at exactly the same time. To keep the bottom of the crust from undercooking, I bake filled pies at high heat (450 degrees) for 10 or 15 minutes or until you can see the crust’s edge begin to change color, then lower the heat to 325 degrees for as long as it takes for the filling to set in the middle. In other words, don’t ever trust a recipe for cooking time: Keep your eye on the pie. The recipe here is a family favorite. For loads of other delectable pie recipes, I highly recommend "From a Southern Oven" by Jean Anderson and "Southern Pies" by Nancie McDermott. Both of these noted authors live in Chapel Hill.

Japanese Fruit Pie Nobody really knows where the name of this Southern pie comes from, though one source claims it dates back to Martha Washington’s kitchen, when folks believed coconut came from Japan.

9-inch raw pie crust 1 stick salted butter, melted and cooled slightly 1 cup white sugar 2 large eggs Pinch of salt Also try Moreton’s savory 1 Tbsp. white vinegar Vidalia onion pie. Go to 1 tsp. vanilla extract chapelhillmagazine.com ¾ cup chopped pecans for the recipe. ½ cup flaked coconut ½ cup raisins 8-10 maraschino cherries, cut in half (optional) Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a bowl, whisk together the butter, sugar, eggs, salt, vinegar and vanilla. Stir in the pecans, coconut, raisins and cherries, if using. Pour into the pie shell and bake at 450 for 10 to 15 minutes. Turn the oven down to 325 degrees and continue baking until the middle is set, 20 to 30 minutes or more. Jean Anderson adds grated orange peel to this, and it’s a nice touch. Serve at room temperature with whipped cream.

Horvath & Putt

WISH UPON A STAR

BY SOPHIA LUCENTE PHOTOGRAPHY BY BRONWYN DUFFIELD, BRONWYNDUFFIELDPHOTOGRAPHY.COM

Paige Horvath was born in Pennsylvania, and Christopher Putt hails from California

– but both were raised in Chapel Hill. The two met at summer camp in 2001 where Chris initially earned a spot in Paige’s memory by claiming his cousin was Britney Spears. When they were reacquainted years later, she was disappointed to find out that was not true. Still, the chemistry was there, and they began dating. Chris graduated from East Chapel Hill High in 2009, and Paige from Chapel Hill High a year later. They continued to see each other through college at UNC-Greensboro and UNC-Charlotte, respectively. After Paige’s graduation, Christopher surprised her with a trip to Disney World, where the couple enjoyed a romantic dinner overlooking the Magic Kingdom. They later watched the fireworks, and with “When You Wish Upon A Star” playing in the background, Chris asked her to be his wife. The couple will tie the knot on September 3 at St. Thomas More Catholic Church with a reception to follow at the Great Room at Top of the Hill. Paige’s sister Amber will serve as maid of honor, and friend Andrew Prioli will be best man. CHM

Moore & Cannady

DEER-LY BELOVED

BY NIKKI MURDOCH | PHOTOGRAPHY BY BRENT DEITRICH | LIVEVIEWSTUDIOS.COM

UNC grad Samantha Moore was coaching the

C.W. Stanford Middle School cheerleading squad at an away basketball game when a cute fan caught her eye. The good-looking guy in the bleachers turned out to be Orange County native Parker Cannady, who asked Samantha out on a date shortly after she found a way to introduce herself. The couple officially began dating in March 2007. It was exactly eight years later that Parker decided to surprise Samantha with a proposal during a search for deer antler sheds on his hunting property – a tradition they enjoyed together every spring. Before their quest began, Parker planted an antler with a note attached for Samantha to discover. He took her to a

nearby pond, she spotted the antler, and soon he was down on one knee with a ring in his hand before she knew what was happening. The night before the September nuptials, Samantha and her twin sister, Sierra Burns, retired to The Carolina Inn for some quality time together. When they woke up, they realized their room overlooked the outdoor wedding ceremony space where Samantha would be getting married that afternoon. After a stroll around campus and a drink from the Old Well for good luck, Samantha walked down the aisle and married the love of her life. The couple currently resides in Louisburg, where the antler is displayed on their bookshelf. CHM

Small & Robinson

COME RAIN OR SHINE BY LILY STEPHENS PHOTOGRAPHY BY GRACE HILL PHOTOGRAPHY GRACEHILLPHOTOGRAPHY.COM

Kathryn Small and Tarron Robinson first met in civics

class during their sophomore year at Chapel Hill High School, but didn’t start dating until college. Wrightsville Beach became a special place when Kathryn attended ECU and Tarron played baseball at UNC, so it was only fitting that Tarron would choose to propose there. In August 2014, they were walking on the beach with Kathryn’s brother, John Small, and soon-to-be bridesmaid Michaela Henry when Tarron got down on one knee just as it started to rain. The day of the wedding brought a different kind of weather: clear skies and 85 degrees. Friends and family – including Tarron’s parents, Steve and Lisa Robinson, best man Denzel Robinson and Kathryn’s mother, Elva Small – gathered at a beautiful home overlooking a pond. Though the day was bittersweet because Kathryn’s father passed away the previous year, one of her favorite moments was when her brother stepped in for the father-daughter dance. Thanks to the help of her mom and a family friend, Kathryn planned nearly every detail herself, and it all came together beautifully. Some of their favorite details were the barn doors framing the ceremony location and surprising guests like Morgan Taylor, Shauna Turner, Kiaya Robinson and Jack Gallagher with a visit from Rameses at the reception. Kathryn is a nurse, and Tarron sells insurance at the Seagroves Agency in Chapel Hill. The couple plans to reside in Mebane. CHM
