CEILING. ROOF. HOME.

LAST FRIDAY NIGHT, AFTER DINNER AT AL’S BURGER Shack – and too many rosemary French fries – I decided to take a walk up Franklin Street. The rain

had just stopped and folks were starting their evenings. I passed by a former school board member checking her parking meter. I saw an employee of the Ackland Art Museum eating alfresco and watched Vincenzo Marrone of IP3 drive past me. I saw students out to dinner with their parents and heard the sounds of a band drifting over from He’s Not Here. On my way back down Rosemary Street, I even witnessed – it was impossible not to hear them – a group of young women at Pantana Bob’s singing along to “Carolina Girls.” I ran into my friend Jackson walking home from work and chatted up our intern Olivia who was joining the long line at Al’s. It was one of those pinch-me nights where I’m reminded how much I love where we live.

As we put together our 12th annual home and garden issue, I was reminded that last month marks a total of seven years that I’ve lived in Chapel Hill. There were those four years at UNC when I was slightly more engaged with town happenings than the rest of the student body – two semesters working for The Daily Tar Heel covering the Town Council and OWASA will do that to you. And then a few years after graduation, I was lured back by many of the same things that brought you here. I love being part of a population that reads books at a speed that makes our library the busiest one in North Carolina.

I enjoy returning to old favorites like The Chelsea and discovering new ones like Shaka Shave Ice, another place I passed during that long walk. And I was ecstatic to run from The Northside District to join in the Franklin Street festivities for the National Championship, much like Matt White did on page 36.

We are all so lucky to call this place home. And at the end of this month, I can’t wait to help others do the same. The staff at Chapel Hill Magazine will be volunteering with Habitat for Humanity of Orange County. To those new homeowners, welcome to the neighborhood. CHM

SUMMER READING Our picks of new books for kids and teens

By Morgan Weston

“Jake the Fake Keeps it Real”

by Craig Robinson and Adam Mansbach with art by Keith Knight

S

TARTING A NEW

school is hard. But what about starting a new school where grades aren’t A’s and B’s, but purple dinosaurs, each of your classmates is extremely talented and being “normal” is far from the norm?

That’s exactly where “Jake the Fake Keeps it Real” begins. Considering his application to Music and Arts Academy was equal parts riding his sister’s coattails and performing a song he wrote on the piano (which happens to be the only one he knows how to play), Jake believes he has faked his way into getting accepted. However, at the urging of his best friend, who attends the “regular” school nearby, and the expectations of his parents, he decides to embrace the process that is being an art student.

Young readers will appreciate Jake’s honesty, from his disdain for his perfect older sister to his vivid descriptions of his colorful classmates and teachers, while parents will enjoy occasional pop culture references and the unique maladies Jake suffers. (At one

24

chapelhillmagazine.com May/June 2017

point, Jake cites a sprained eyebrow, achy hair and sweaty knees as evidence of being too sick for school.) The story is brought to life by Carrboro-based artist Keith Knight. “This was a nice change of pace for me,” says Keith. “It was the first project where I was taking someone else’s text and adding my input illustration-wise.”

After a fun twist near the end, the breadcrumbs of wisdom dropped throughout the book come together: the best way to fit in is to be yourself.

Though the lesson isn’t a new one, thanks to the title character’s voice, “Jake the Fake” never feels heavy-handed.

In fact, the only downside might be the speed at which it moves from your child’s “to read” to “done” pile.

Catch Keith’s “Fear of a Black Marker,” an exhibit of political cartoons, at UNC’s Center for the Study of the American South through July. “North Carolina

is a wonderfully nurturing place to be an artist,” he says.

”Let’s Pretend We Never Met”

by Melissa Walker

T

HOUGH FAR from her first foray into writing, this book is Chapel Hill native Melissa Walker’s first story

aimed at middle schoolers. “I wanted to explore the emotions that go along with navigating friendships, and how hard it can be to do the right thing, regardless of your age.”

The story begins with Mattie Markham in the backseat of her parents’ car. It’s winter break and they’re moving to a new city, far away from Mattie’s native North Carolina town, to take care of her grandmother Maeve.

Agnes – a girl her age who acts a bit younger, but whose fun nature is a welcome contrast to Mattie’s more conventional style.

When school starts, Mattie finds herself struggling with her new classmates’ perceptions, not only of her, but of her friendship with Agnes.

The idea for “Let’s Pretend We Never Met” is borrowed from Melissa’s childhood journal. Like Mattie, she and her parents relocated briefly to Pennsylvania (only Melissa was in fourth grade, not sixth). “On the ride up, I wrote and signed a contract requiring my future self to never make my children move or change schools,” she says. Though she currently resides in New York with her husband and two daughters, Melissa says she will always have a soft spot for Chapel Hill. “And I can’t promise I won’t break that contract,” she laughs.

“Once and For All”

by Sarah Dessen

I

N CHAPEL HILL-

based author Sarah Dessen’s latest young adult novel, Louna has spent a long time playing it safe. Unlike her friends, who yearn for adventure, Louna rarely goes out after dark and actually likes spending time with her mother. During her last summer before college, she has decided to work for her no-nonsense mom and her colorful business partner in the family trade: wedding planning. The trio becomes a welloiled machine, comforting brides with cold feet, dealing with demanding mothers-in-law and wrangling wandering guests. But as so many clients’ special days unfold around her, she is frequently brought

face-to-face with her own recent heartbreak.

It doesn’t help when Ambrose, a highprofile bride’s charming-yet-careless younger brother, proves difficult to work with. The resulting friendship, while unlikely to succeed, may be just what Louna needs to move on.

For a family in the business of true love, it can be easy to stop believing in it. But as Louna learns, the phrase “happily-ever-after”

isn’t just for fairy tales; it just might look a little different than she imagined.

Fans of Sarah, recently named the recipient of the Margaret Edwards Award by the American Library Association, will likely race through the book the day it comes out. As Sarah writes on her website, “It’s my thirteenth book. THIRTEEN, you guys. My collection of novels is now a teenager.” CHM

JOYRIDE THE CAREYS PROVE THAT THE FAMILY THAT RIDES TOGETHER WINS TOGETHER PHOTOGRAPHY BY BRIANA BROUGH

How did you get into BMX? And how long ago was that?

ANTHONY: Two years ago, a co-worker of mine mentioned he grew up racing BMX and he still raced with his oldest son in Burlington. At the time he was 41 years old.

I grew up riding BMX bikes and loved it. I asked my youngest son, James (9 years old at the time), if he would be interested in BMX racing. James was really excited with the idea. From the first practice he was hooked! He is a very athletic kid and has excelled in several sports like basketball, football, soccer, and baseball. But with BMX, he had a level of passion I had not seen before.

My wife, Laura, and I watched James practice and race for a couple months and the thrill of BMX racing got in my blood. We borrowed a bike at practice and we were hooked as well.

For me, it was nostalgia; I felt like a kid again riding my bike over jumps and obstacles. For Laura, it was terrifying at first, but the thrill and challenge was exciting to her. We have been racing as a family since 2015. Funny enough my oldest son Andrew is the most athletic family member so we wonder what could have been; my daughter Laurel is a freshman at UNC-W. She started racing last year and will join us this summer.

What’s something you remember from the first time you got on a bike?

JAMES The speed. I love going fast.

LAURA The first time I went to a track, I sat on the bike forever at the top of the starting hill scared to death. It was so much higher than I expected.

ANTHONY How nostalgic it felt. It took me back to a kid riding trails in the woods in southern Chapel Hill where I grew up.

How long did it take to master the bike? And what’s the hardest part of BMX? JAMES It took me a year to become a strong competitor. Learning how to jump properly is the

O B S E S S I O N S

hardest part of BMX for me.

LAURA I don’t think I’m anywhere near mastering the bike. The

hardest part for me is aggressively riding during races. Holding my line and not letting other riders intimidate me.

ANTHONY I felt comfortable and was competing within the first year, but the last six months of 2016 is when it all clicked and I began winning national and state races. The hardest part for me is jumping and remembering I have to make it to work Monday.

Meaning I can’t get hurt.

How often do you practice and where?

We practice two to three times per week at Burlington BMX, Capital City BMX in Raleigh and at Tanglewood Park in Clemmons.

How many people participate in each race and what age division are you in?

JAMES I race in the 11-year-old boys intermediate class. In my skill 30

chapelhillmagazine.com May/June 2017

level and age group the number of riders fluctuates from 3 to 50+ per race. At the national races, I race against a large number of kids. At the local races it can be as little as three riders and they may range in age from 8 to 16 years old.

LAURA I race in the 36-40 girl cruiser class. Cruiser bikes are a little bit larger than the traditional BMX bike. It’s rare at the local races that my age group has enough riders, so I usually get stuck with the super-fast 18- to 25-year-old girls or even with the boys. At the national level I usually have six to eight riders in my race in my age group.

ANTHONY I race in the 46 and older novice class. This is a tough group of guys. We are at the age where most of us raced BMX as kids and we forget we aren’t kids anymore. Which usually causes us to wreck and get hurt. On a local level I usually race with five to eight riders, but they may range in age from 30 to 60 and are in an advanced class. At the national level I typically race against six to ten riders in my class.

O B S E S S I O N S

What’s it like to share the same hobby?

JAMES I like having my parents race because we can share advice and cheer each other on. I also like the fact my parents don’t sit on the sideline and yell, “Pedal!” like the other parents do. They understand what it’s like to be out there riding.

LAURA I like us all being active together. It’s a lot of fun traveling and racing with our family. I love the time we spend together.

ANTHONY I love spending time with the family sharing our experiences and competing together.

What’s your biggest accomplishment so far?

JAMES Advancing from a novice class to the intermediate class. I had to win 10 races to advance to the next class. My biggest award was winning the state final last year.

LAURA [My] biggest accomplishment and award was finishing #1 in the state for my age class two years in a row.

ANTHONY [My] biggest accomplishment was winning first place at a national race and winning the state finals race.

Have you ever faced a challenge or injury?

JAMES I’m currently facing a challenge as I compete in a tough class and I have not won a race in this new class. I’m working hard this year to get my first win.

LAURA I fell once and injured my elbow. I came right back the same week, but I’m still battling the mental aspect of pushing myself to race at full speed.

ANTHONY My challenge was winning at the national level. This past season I worked hard at accomplishing this. My current challenge is jumping the bike at the right places on the track to build momentum.

It’s called manualing. If you pull up too much, the bike flips out from underneath you. I’m terrified of that!

What’s something about BMX that others might be surprised to learn?

It’s a sport you can participate in from 2 years old to 80+ years old, men and women. We have seen a 2-year-old on a bike in a 5 and under national race and we have seen an 84-year-old man racing at a national in the 61 and over class. Also, the people are so warm and

welcoming. That was one of the special contributors for us picking up the sport. The people at the tracks are always willing to help. Another little known fact: BMX is also a Summer Olympic sport.

What do you love most about BMX? JAMES Going fast and traveling around the country meeting new people.

LAURA Traveling with my family and meeting new people.

ANTHONY Three things: the competition and meeting great people. Being with my family and traveling together. And eating after the race. Oh, make that four things. I’m not gonna lie … I love wining huge trophies.

LIKE A

DOG THESE ADORABLE OFFICE PETS ARE VALUED TEAM MEMBERS AT THEIR PL ACES OF BUSINESS

BY JESSICA STRINGER

WE’VE BEEN BRINGING DOGS to work for the last 15 years. Suri, a Norfolk Terrier, turns 4 this month and she’s our official greeter. We have several folks who just stop here to come by and sit with her. She usually lets our UPS driver know that he is coming into her house at the office and then follows him around until he leaves. She’s my companion all day. We walk her in the morning at home and at noon, we take a nice long walk.

After work, we walk on campus for an hour and head on home. She’s just the most loving dog.”

MY DOG IS a 16- or 17-year-old who showed up on our property 15 years ago and became part of the family. Ginger comes to work whenever I come. She has free rein of coming and going. We have seven acres so we’re able to let the dogs to be outside. [Co-founder Sita Lozoff has a 13-year-old schnoodle named Ebony who’s “almost been like a therapy dog to some people.”]

I attribute her long health to the fact that she’s been able to get good exercise every day. Instead of being in a crate, she gets lots of attention and exercise and sleeps at my feet quite a bit of the day. It’s a very sweet lifestyle for her.”

Catherine Dumas

Executive Director, Human Kindness Foundation

I HAVE A LITTLE PUG. She’s got a ton of personality. Her name is Layla and I rescued her last summer. Bringing her to work means I don’t have to worry about her being lonely at home. If there are people in the store, she’s with them. And if she’s tired, she sits up in our library chair. Keegan (Taylor McAdams and Gretchen Gaskill’s corgi) and Layla mostly get along though they aren’t usually there together. Anytime you walk in a place and you can pet a dog, it usually puts you in a good mood.”

SCARLETT IS ALMOST 11 years old. She’s very agile

I’ve had for two years – Casper, 11½, is 100% blind and Chloe, 8, is 100% attitude. I’ve had to keep Chloe leashed up sometimes because she tends to want to go out in the mall and visit with everyone. Kids love these dogs and come in with their parents, hang out and love on them. I think it’s a great way to introduce young kids to dogs because they are very gentle. I have a lot of disappointed kids that come in when I’m not here and ask ‘where are the dogs?’ The dogs are part of me and therefore, they are part of the store. It’s just like having a bit of home at work.â€?

A hundred percent of the time she’s been a peace agent, a source of comfort to them. In the evening a lot of times I work on plans. At 3:30 a.m. we went out for a walk because I couldn’t figure something out. But then I came back in and wrote down the answer I couldn’t get by staying inside. She’s my little companion. Sometimes I look over at her and if my tone is a little elevated, she reminds me to breathe deep and that things are going to work out.� CHM

Last Year Took An ‘L’,

BUT TONIGHT WE BOUNCED BACK A FATHER SHARES UNC BASKETBALL EXCITEMENT WITH HIS DAUGHTERS

BY MAT T WHITE

W

E ARE DRIVING UP

15-501 in the pouring April rain, toward the parking snarls of the Smith Center.

Though I will be told several times throughout the next four hours that I am a good father – even a “great dad” – for letting my girls experience a Chapel Hill championship night, right now I am a very bad father because as I drive, I am pulling up YouTube on my phone to find UNC’s Kennedy Meeks singing Whitney Houston.

Not singing. Lip-synching. But no less dangerous on 15-501.

Two days ago, Meeks, a burly 6-foot-10-inch senior on UNC’s basketball team, saved the 2017 season by single-handedly willing the Tar Heels past Oregon. He will, it will turn out, do it again tonight versus Gonzaga in the National Championship.

But I am not searching for basketball videos. I’m looking for a video of Meeks from 2014, when he still looked like a roly-poly high school kid – a huge kid, but still a kid – more a threat to a sofa with an Xbox than to Carolina’s basketball lore.

36

chapelhillmagazine.com May/June 2017

I want to show my girls, 10 and 7, the lip-synch Meeks did during the talent show portion of that year’s Late Night with Roy, the season kickoff for Tar Heel basketball. It was the first night that the stars of this 2017 team, then just freshmen and sophomores, stood together in Carolina blue. As his teammates and perhaps 10,000 fans cheered, Meeks vamped and clutched through Houston’s most pyric of torch songs, “I Will Always Love You.” As Whitney hit the soaring finale, Meeks fell to the floor, twisting on his back as he “sang,” selling out for the music and crowd.

Both of my girls were in the Dean Dome that night, but they don’t remember and I want to spark their memory. It’s a great YouTube video and they laugh, replaying it as we get to UNC’s Craige parking deck. Now they want to know more about Meeks: Is he the best Tar Heel? “No,” I say, “but really important.” Little do I know.

We collect our jackets and a bag, take the first of many selfies and head toward the Dome. In line are college kids and

F I R S T

moms and dads and a few little kids, all in Carolina blue.

But my girls are jabberboxes, excited at the crowds, the late hour – on a school night! – and the idea that here, for one of their first times, is A Thing They Should Remember. They’ve heard about Franklin Street and the crowds and the craziness, but now they are here, and their eyes dart around under the streetlights as they try to spot where a really good memory might be hiding. It is not supposed to open until 8 p.m., but they take pity on the crowd in the rain and we are through the door by 7:40 p.m. Only in our seats does reality hit – 90 minutes to game time and not much to do. We ate dinner at home to avoid

spending money on Smith Center snacks, and I hold firm to that plan for damn near 20 minutes. They tell the man at the concession stand they want the two saltiest pretzels, and he spins the hanger in the case to grab the ones they pick out.

Soon on the big screens, the Tar Heels are warming up and for a solid 5 seconds, the camera finds Meeks. He’s changed since Whitney.

His shoulders are solid and his chest now dwarfs his stomach. He is nobody’s high school kid. But as he runs in a warm-up line, he smiles that kid smile, as goofy and endearing and eager to please as the one who “sang” on his back in this building. It’s a smile all kids know, May/June 2017 chapelhillmagazine.com

and my girls see it. “There’s Meeks,” says my 7-year-old.

And I wonder: as Meeks casually throws a ball to a teammate and says something unheard that makes them both smile, is he thinking about how, win or lose, this is the last night he’ll trade easy jokes with his friends in a warm-up line? He’s a senior and this is the end, which must have seemed impossibly distant the night he lip-synched

Whitney. This is just a split-second in a warm-up drill, but now I’m thinking about the passage of time, how my girls were 7 and 4 for the Whitney night and now they’re 10 and 7, though they won’t be for long. It’s why winning or losing tonight doesn’t weigh on me. The Heels have done me a great favor by reaching this game. I want to watch Meeks on his last night, but much more, I want to watch my girls be, just for this instant,

jabbering and wide-eyed and 10 and 7.

The camera lingers another second on Meeks smiling at a teammate. He looks like a kid, having fun. Good sign.

On the big screen, Charles Barkley says Gonzaga is going to win, and as if on cue, the UNC cheerleaders emerge onto the Dean Dome floor. The band starts up and you can’t hear Barkley anymore which is fine.

Then the game starts, and it’s just – I mean, it’s always something with this flippin’ team, huh? The Heels’ shooters can’t hit the side of a barn, and Gonzaga, in uniforms that appear bad-guy black on the Smith Center’s screens, look bigger, faster and meaner. At one point, the Zags are up 21-14, one of those scores that means nothing but elicits panic anyway: they have 50% more points than us! A blowout is in the air, and during a time-out, the Dome gets so quiet you can hear every instrument in the band. Even a cymbal keeping time in the fight song, its echo reflecting off the concrete walls, sounds slightly offbeat.

But then Joel Berry, who was just awful two days before, hits a shot and Roy Williams swaps out some players. “Meeks!” my girls both say as he checks in. No smile now.

In fact, as the rest of the team wilts, Berry and Meeks are the only pieces keeping the Tar Heels afloat. Berry is hitting shots, driving the lane, his hands in passing lanes. Over and over, you can feel the dam about to break for Gonzaga, but then Berry slashes into the picture with a drive or shot or pass, demanding the game stay close. Meeks meanwhile has the hardest job of all, matching up against Przemek Karnowski, Gonzaga’s 7-foot, heavily bearded man-mountain who grew up, I think, in Westeros fighting dragons (actually Bydgoszcz, Poland). But Meeks leans his heavy body on Karnowski all night, avoids careless fouls and the Gonzaga star misses no less than three simple layups from within a foot or two

U N C

B A S K E T B A L L

of the basket. That’s six points, all from Meeks, same as the eventual winning margin.

At halftime, my 7-year-old falls asleep, which is great. She’ll need it.

The second half is more of the same – Carolina makes a run, gives it all back, Gonzaga threatens, recedes. Back and forth. The girls follow the action, cheering for Carolina and especially hard for Meeks.

Without warning, the final seconds are suddenly on us. The crowd switches from hope to agony and my 10-year-old turns around and buries her head in her seat, too nervous to watch.

But Isaiah Hicks – another North Carolina kid like Meeks and Theo Pinson – makes a shot. And on Gonzaga’s last chance, a huge block from – who else? – Meeks turns into a Carolina slam dunk that seals the game.

And when it does, the Dean Dome. Goes. Ballistic. I’m suddenly jumping in the air, yelling like a child, “We’re gonna win!” I’m aware how silly I sound, yet I can’t stop. My 10-year-old is euphoric, the 7-year-old terrified. She’s never heard anything this loud. I’m not sure I have.

Students storm the floor and we run down to join, jumping around (to the tune, appropriately, of “Jump Around”). Then, all together, we sprint for the exits, streaming out into the night toward Franklin Street. It’s a long way, but the rain is gone, leaving just clean night air and people are walking, running, cheering and yelling, and soon enough we’re there, honing in on the steeple of the University United Methodist Church until we break onto Franklin half a block from Columbia. The newspaper will say 55,000. Sounds right. Lit by flood lights, the crowd is almost crushing. We wade into it, take pictures, climb windowsills and handrails, take more selfies. The girls get highfives from frat boys and murmurs of “so cute!” from college girls. But after 20 minutes, we’ve seen enough. It’s a powerful, fun crowd, without an ounce of menace or trouble, but it can still swallow a 4-footer in an instant, so we wave at the Top of the Hill revelers and head back.

It might be years before Chapel Hill gets another championship night, or perhaps life will take my family out of town all together and our kids will grow up fans of some far-off Bulldogs or Trojans or perhaps no team at all. But as we drive, they are both passed out in the backseat and I know the insane, happy scenes of Franklin Street and the Dean Dome will stick for a very long time, memories they’ll know could only be from Chapel Hill.

And of course there’s Meeks. Like the song says, Kennedy – they will always love you. CHM

ONE TREE HILL AFTER 80 YEARS ON THE CORNER, A FAVORITE TREE COMES DOWN

BY MAT T WHITE PHOTOGRAPHY BY JOSEPH BRAY

M

ITCH SIMPSON HAS SAID

perhaps a thousand prayers under the big ash tree on Franklin Street’s most famous corner. With an awning perhaps 50 feet across, the tree provided shade for decades to pedestrians crossing the corner of Franklin and Columbia and to the small garden of University Baptist Church, where Mitch has been the pastor since 1990.

“Whether it was the internment of ashes, or sunrise services, or weddings or Easter egg hunts. We did all those things under the shelter of that tree,” says Mitch.

Yet, every time the wind blew, Mitch gave a prayer for the tree itself. When the church put up a small retaining wall on the corner in the late 1990s, town officials told Mitch the tree was already dying. Rather than take it down then, his church paid to have its 40

roots, which extended dozens of yards in all directions, wrapped for protection as the wall and a new sidewalk went in. In recent years, heaves in the pavement swelled as those roots kept growing. Its base was more than 70 inches across and its top branches reached higher than the balcony tables at Top of the Hill.

But recently, says Mitch, he has worried more and more. “Every ice storm, every hurricane or windstorm,” he said. “Every Halloween or celebration after a Duke game or championship.”

In mid-April, time ran out. A late winter town inspection found the tree was 80% hollow, with cracks radiating through the trunk and branches. Its age remains a mystery: Mitch says some longtime residents confirmed the tree was at least 70 years old, but once down, the trunk was too rotted to count rings.

Jim Orr, Chapel Hill’s director of parks and recreation, says

BELOW One final service under the tree.

LEFT Once the full trunk was down, Mitch went out to say one last goodbye. To his amazement, so much of the trunk was rotted away that he was able to climb inside.

the tree was one of seven large trees taken down by town crews this spring, a higher number than usual, including one at a Franklin Street sorority house and four near the power substation off West Franklin. In each case, he says, town crews worked with heavy hearts.

“The character of Chapel Hill is large trees over the streets,” says Jim. “There is not a concerted effort of clear-cutting trees or anything like that. There is no way we would do that.”

With removal scheduled for the day after Palm Sunday, Mitch gathered members that morning for a short, final service under the ash branches. In a brief prayer, Mitch gave thanks for the tree, “standing as a sentinel all these decades over the crossroads meeting place we call Chapel Hill.” CHM

by the Triangle Land Conservancy (TLC) in 2010, the George and Julia Brumley Family Nature Preserve has been a labor of love for those who helped build it. Last month, Orange County welcomed the new outdoor spot just 2 miles southeast of Hillsborough with an Earth Day grand opening. With over 15 miles of hiking and mixed-use trails, the 613-acre preserve was designed 44

specifically with sustainability, preservation and education in mind.

According to executive director Sandy Sweitzer, “The opening of this beautiful preserve to the public reflects years of work by hundreds of people and supporters of TLC, open space and conservation.” The seventh of TLC’s public nature preserve projects, the Brumley Preserve’s name honors one supportive couple in particular.

Back in the 1990s, Julia Preston Brumley and George

The 15 miles of trails were built with the help of hundreds of volunteers to complement the contours of the land, reduce runoff and connect people with the best natural elements.

W. Brumley III purchased some land that was slated to be a

subdivision off of New Hope Church Road. Julia, a Chapel Hill native, and George were environmentalists and longtime advocates for nonprofits like TLC and the North Carolina Nature Conservancy and their goal was to manage the land for conservation and uses like farming and forestry. Sadly, Julia and George along with their two children and George’s parents, George II, a Duke professor, and Jean Brumley, passed away in

2003 in a plane crash during a family trip to Kenya. The Zeist Foundation, which honors the members of the Brumley family, then sold the land to TLC in 2010.

“It’s especially rewarding to see our work continuing in the Triangle with the opening of a place as special as Brumley, which is within a 30-minute drive of almost a million residents,” says TLC Board Chair and Parker Poe Partner Russell Killen. The preserve will be open daily year-round from dawn to dusk. CHM May/June 2017 chapelhillmagazine.com

hen UNC professor of anthropology James Peacock (now retired after 45 years) and his wife, Florence, an accomplished professional singer of the baroque classical variety, bought this downtown lot in 1990, “the property had become a wild jungle,” daughter Natalie Peacock-Corral says. But the couple knew the property had once been owned by the late William Coker, a UNC professor of botany and founder of the Coker Arboretum, and they sought to recreate his original landscape design, as well as build a home with the help of modernist architect Dail Dixon. By 1992, both projects were complete, and the family has reaped the benefits of the garden’s wonder – beautifully maintained now by landscaper Jim Flanagan – ever since. And although daughter Natalie, son-in-law Emiliano

Corral and grandchildren Isabella Florence Corral, 9, and Lucia Beatriz Corral, 7, live in Durham now, they visit the ethereal

green space and the grandparents often. “The old trees that surround the property date back hundreds of years and give a sense of being in an enchanted forest,” says Natalie of one of her favorite features. “Lucia is certain that magical fairies live in the lush greenery, coming out at night as the sun sets,” she adds.

Over the years, the home has been the backdrop to many social events, receptions and weddings (including Natalie’s own in 2005) and too many egg hunts, birthday parties and playdates to count for Lucia and Isabella. “It is secluded and private, yet UNC and downtown Chapel Hill are a short walk away,” Natalie says.

Lake Living

“I

t’s our weekday house and our weekend house rolled into one!” says Lisa Carey of the Lake Forest home she shares with husband Matt Ewend and kids Nash Carey-Ewend, 21, Kelly Carey-Ewend, 19, and Abby Carey-Ewend, 18. “The light is incredible. In the morning, we get pink sunrises and the willow shines. At sunset, the light on the other side of the lake makes the trees glow. At night, the house lights make perfect reflections in the lake.”

When Lisa and Matt purchased the 1960s cottage in 2007, it was the property and lake that sold them. Since then, they have remodeled the home – with the help of architect Sophie Piesse, contractor Jay Hughes and designer Sandra Elliott – to be modern and open. And, as far as landscaping work goes, “We just leveraged Mother Nature,” says Lisa. The end result is peaceful and also lightand life-filled.

To take in the spectacular view, Matt and Lisa have a lakefront patio with a fire pit that is often enjoyed on chilly evenings snuggled in the extra fleeces the family keeps on hand. The back patio, too, is a space of comfort, as the family can be found eating out there as often as possible by candlelight. “[The lake is] our party space, front porch and calm source,” Lisa says.

When the family decided to add an open-air porch to their Old Forest Creek home, they chose to include lofted ceilings and a fireplace, “to bring a little bit of the mountain feel to Chapel Hill,” Beth says. The family can often be found relaxing from the daily grind – Tommy is the senior vice president at The Link Group in Durham, Beth owns Chapel Hill Pediatric Therapy Inc., and the kids are hard at work at Phillips Middle and Estes Hills Elementary – in their breezy “mountain” escape, enjoying tunes provided by their integrated music system.

EN AND REBECCA

Johnson know Chapel Hill. As senior vice presidents at Will Johnson Building Company – of planning and design, and interior design and finishes, respectively – they’ve helped build and rebuild countless local homes, rooted in a love of place. So imagine their delight when, last summer, they “just peeked in” a house in 58

The original space lacked good storage and functionality. “There was also limited space to work with so special consideration had to be given to exactly how to lay out the kitchen in order to preserve decent walkways through and around the space,” Ben says.

Laurel Hill for sale by an industry friend of theirs. “We weren’t looking for a house,” Rebecca says, “but we’ve always loved this neighborhood.” Their home in Pittsboro sold in a matter of days, clinching the couple’s kismet. “We are very excited to be here.”

LOCATION LOCATION “When we found this house, we loved the location,” Ben says.

“Then, when we further examined the house, we realized that the bones and the general layout were great. We were lucky.” Despite the immediate charm of the 2,850-square-foot abode, the couple knew they had a renovation ahead of them. They set to work doing what they do best: “rejiggering,” says Rebecca. “We just needed to make it right for the two of us,” adds Ben. For instance, the original house included two living rooms in addition to a lofty back den with soaring 15-foot ceilings. One of the living rooms connected to a relatively small master bedroom; so, the Johnsons combined them. “The master suite was a big part

of the design,” says Ben. Now, what was once a walled-off front living room is the light-filled bedroom, complete with a working fireplace. And what was once the adjacent master bedroom has become a roomy closet and bathroom area, complete with huge windows and a bathtub overlooking the backyard garden. “We’re pinching ourselves,” Rebecca says, with how well it turned out.

62

DESIGN THINKING Artfully, the Johnsons added virtually no square footage to the house (save for a previously unfinished attic that’s now useable living space, which required no new construction). “Most of what we did was refresh things,” Rebecca says. “We tried to keep a lot of the home’s original features … and then we were being practical.”

“Being adjacent to the kitchen and family room, but removed by just a small hallway, we thought this to be perfect for our more formal living space and study,” says Ben. The drapery creates a sense of warmth that was not present before and the same can be said for the rug.

IT TAKES A VILL AGE The couple is quick to point out that this house reflects much more than their vision, though their vision was key. “It’s hard to say this is our house without talking about everybody who was part of it,” Rebecca says of the friends and coworkers who helped them plan and renovate. “The thing that makes this house special – that makes our job special – is that people really work as a team.” While the Johnsons had built their home in Pittsboro, doing this renovation job in Chapel Hill brought their career full circle.

Then, there’s the whole Will Johnson Building Co. team. “I think that one of the biggest things about taking on a renovation versus a new construction,” Ben says, “is that you need to have skilled people who can perform this kind of work. It’s super detailed, and it’s complicated. It’s a matter of fitting new stuff with the old stuff.”

“The fireplace was a unique part of this space and a great design bedrock for setting up the furniture placement,” Ben says.

Luckily, on a personal note, new and old merged seamlessly. “I feel like our whole community is here, and I didn’t fully realize it until we got here,” Rebecca says.

“People have been so nice, really welcoming and kind.”

In fact, she says it’s what’s helped the house truly feel like home. “We have neighbors we adore. That’s one of the best parts.”

“I think the best part,” Ben agrees, “is that we’re here – in a home that we love, that’s personally ours, that’s amongst our community of friends, and near our work [in Southern Village]. It’s where our whole life is.” CHM

STORAGE SOLUTIONS “So much of what we do with our clients is about having an exact home for everything and trying to come up with creative solutions,” says Rebecca of her work as vice president of interior design and finishes at Will Johnson Building Company. When it came to her own home, she was, of course, a pro. Here are a few easily applicable takeaways, which Ben calls “Rebecca’s signature storage solutions.”

• In the master closet, the Johnsons have a mirrored medicine cabinet. The mirror does double duty: In a windowless hallway, “the mirror reflects light and tricks a dark space,” Rebecca says. It also gives the illusion of open, glass-paneled cabinetry while still offering privacy. “What’s inside is hidden, which is efficient for a medicine cabinet.”

• Also in the master closet, “we used a double trash can holder for our laundry bins.” Space saving and easy.

• Built-ins are key! The Johnson’s bathroom sink drawers all have built-in organizers. In the kitchen, cabinets pull out to layered shelves with more built-in dividers. Even a small kitchen hutch drawer – likely normally used for odds and ends – has built-in dividers. “Not having a place for something is hard.” Adding structure makes collections of knickknacks and bottles of olive oil feel organized and keeps them off of sometimes limited countertop space.

CARRBORO’S

GROWTH

SPURT WITH NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN THE PIPELINE, THE TOWN ONCE KNOWN AS THE “WEST END” OF CHAPEL HILL COMES INTO ITS OWN

BY CHANTAL ALL AM PHOTOGRAPHY BY BRIANA BROUGH

WANDER DOWN SOUTH GREENSBORO Street, past the century-old mill houses, and it’s hard to avoid the frenzy of activity happening on Carrboro’s south side.

At the bottom of the hill, where once a dilapidated warehouse stood, a six-acre lot is now cleared. Roadblocks divert traffic as crews busily work to repair underground pipes in preparation for the new South Green retail center due to break ground this June.

By far the largest, it’s not the only project in the works. Across town, construction is set to begin on the new Hilton Garden Inn on Padgette Lane, while Inter-Faith Council for Social Service’s

FoodFirst community kitchen is being

considered for West Main Street.

As growth grips the area, some locals may be wondering about what kind of impact this will have on the town that prides itself on its size and quirky character.

But according to Annette Lafferty, director of economic and community development for the Town of Carrboro, there’s no need to worry.

“These projects have been very well vetted and impacts considered,” she says.

There’s another upshot: much-needed tax revenue. “In theory, it would relieve the tax burden on the residential sector to the commercial sector.”

FROM TOP The work site of the new South Green retail center; Town of Carrboro’s Annette Lafferty; Gary Hill of Woodhill NC, LLC and Avison Young (with wife Angela and twin daughters Georgia and Lucy).

‘GATEWAY OF CARRBORO’ For years, local investor Gary Hill drove past the warehouse at 501 South Greensboro Street, just off the 54 West Bypass, and wondered why it had remained abandoned for so long.

Then it came up for sale, and he saw an opportunity. With his partners at Woodhill NC, LLC – a group comprised entirely of local residents – they bought the property and came up with a plan: to build a 45,000-square-foot retail center.

“Obviously this is an investment, but we wanted to get rid of an eyesore and create something the entire community could be proud of,” says Gary, who is also a senior associate at Avison Young, the company providing leasing services for the development. “We want this to be the gateway of Carrboro.”

As part of the deal, Woodhill has agreed to fix the flooding issues that have long plagued the property and surrounding area. They will also build a roundabout at the entrance for traffic 80

flow and safety.

Another top priority was incorporating Carrboro’s character into its design.

With a nod to its textile mill past, Woodhill partner Runyon Woods came up with a plan including four-sided brick buildings with window openings reminiscent of early 20th-century mills.

The center will also extend the Carrboro bike path and include the largest pervious parking lot in the Triangle area.

“We’re going from an abandoned, flooded, decrepit building on a major entranceway into town, to an attractive set of commercial buildings,” says Runyon.

Among the first tenants to sign up is chef Kevin Callaghan, owner of Acme Food & Beverage Company. He’s planning to open the new Atlas Taco Bar. For him, it’s largely about accessibility.

CARRBORO FUN FACTS • Carrboro was first settled in 1882 around a UNC railroad spur. • It was originally known as “West Endâ€? due to its location west of Chapel Hill. • The town was first called Venable after a UNC president. • In 1912, its name was changed to Carrboro in honor of local textile mill owner. • For the first 50 years after incorporation, it remained a small textile mill town. • Today, over 20,000 people call Carrboro home.

“You’re going to be able to get in and out pretty easily and not be thinking stressfully about parking,� he says. “That’s the thing that is missing in this town.�

NEIGHBORS ANXIOUSLY AWAIT Construction on South Green is expected to be complete by the fourth quarter of 2018. For some, it can’t come soon enough. “It will be nice to have more restaurants and businesses within walking distance, and establish a safe footpath and sidewalks to get from south of 54 to downtown Carrboro,� says Berryhill resident and mother-oftwo Diana Urlaub.

Others, meanwhile, are holding out to make up their minds. “We’re waiting to see what type of tenants ultimately move into South Green,� says Greg Andeck, a Park Slope resident who lives next door to the development. “It’s important that we don’t see strip malls in Carrboro.�

He admits, however, that he’s happy about the improvements to the drainage system. “Our hope is that it is a net positive to the community.� CHM

THE DISH I

S&T’s Soda Shoppe

t may have been an orange-pineapple ice-cream cone that did it for Vicky Oldham. “I remember going into the soda shop with my dad in downtown Pittsboro,” she recalls. “I only remember going once.

Little did I know that I’d be serving ice cream [in the same building] and it is the same brand that they used to serve.”

The ice-cream parlor of Vicky’s childhood became a furniture store and then she and husband Gene Oldham opened S&T’s Soda Shoppe.

This fall Vicky and her husband will celebrate 20 years in business and 40 years of marriage. And the shop they named after their young sons, Steve and TJ, is thriving. Now in their thirties, Steve is the main cook while TJ works the front-of-the-house but can sub in for his brother.

The menu’s full of classic favorites from tuna melts to the lasagna that was served at The Rathskeller. But of course, it’s the frozen treats that draw the attention of the youngest customers. “My granddaughter AJ just turned 5 and said, ‘May I please please have a banana split for my birthday?’” Vicky says.

No matter their order, customers agree that the food is worth the drive. “I didn’t realize how central we are in the state because people come from all different points around us,” Vicky says. “People from Durham and Fayetteville meet up here all the time. People from Apex and Holly Springs meet people from Asheboro or Randleman. It’s amazing.”

As for Vicky, “I was born in Pittsboro and I lived east of Pittsboro on Hank’s Chapel so I still consider that my home.” Husband Gene grew up just south of her and the Northwood High School grads met at a bowling alley in Chapel Hill. With her roots firmly planted in Chatham County, Vicky is optimistic for the growth. “It’s been slow to change, but I think the change that’s coming now will be good. I like seeing the town grow because we have a great art community and a lot of new shops,” Vicky says. “I won’t live to see all of it, but I think it will be good for my children because I want them to be able to stay here.” Banana Split, $9.25. –Jessica Stringer CHM

Adventures in Veggies Who knew radishes could be so mindblowingly delicious? After a friend served them topped simply with butter and salt, my husband, Drake, and I couldn’t wait to join a CSA (Community Shared Agriculture).

Every week we’ll pick up a box filled with fresh produce grown by local farmers – in our case, the ones at Ten Mothers Farm in Hillsborough. The contents of the box will be up to the mothers (actually, just one married couple). We won’t know what we are getting until we open the box.

Drake, normally a steak and potatoes man, has been gearing up for this experiment by sending me recipes for vegetables most of us never encountered in our Southern mamas’ kitchens.

Radicchio, for instance, has been available in food markets for a while now, but, besides adding it to a salad for its pretty red color, what the heck do you do with it?

After trying it at an Italian eatery – wrapped

with bacon, grilled over hickory chips and sauced with a lemony vinaigrette – we were hooked. Then Drake came up with a terrific recipe that combines it with carrots in a different take on slaw, perfect to serve with a grilled main course.

These days the new “it” veggie appears to be celeriac or celery root. My fascination with this unappealing-looking vegetable dates from a trip to Provence ages ago.

Along with grated carrot salad (without radicchio), traditional celeriac rémoulade (grated raw celeriac mixed with mayonnaise and Dijon mustard) is as common there as coleslaw is in North Carolina.

Though this gnarly knob looks like it belongs in the bulb section of Southern States, you can now find it locally at Harris Teeter, Whole Foods and The Fresh Market in the vicinity of other uncommon vegetables, kohlrabi and rutabaga.

It’s even a hot new item on restaurant

menus. At a popular Charleston eatery, I tried it roasted in salt with a browned butter sauce; at another it was pureed, topped with a baked egg, English peas and Parmesan cheese – an inspired combination.

Drake and I hope to see radicchio and celeriac in our CSA box, but we’ll have fun with whatever shows up. Discovering new vegetables and finding new ways to cook familiar ones can be as exciting as traveling to a new country. Ten Mothers, bring it on – we are psyched for the adventure!

Radicchio and Carrot Slaw 4-6 servings 1-2 large carrots, grated 1 medium radicchio, chopped 1 Tbsp. or more lime juice 1 Tbsp. rice wine vinegar 1 tsp. or more sugar 1 Tbsp. soy sauce 1 tsp. sesame oil Salt and pepper to taste ¼ cup chopped peanuts (optional)

PHOTO BY JAMES STEFIUK

Stir all ingredients, except peanuts, together until well blended. Taste and adjust seasonings. Carrots vary in sweetness and radicchio in bitterness, so add more sugar or lime juice as needed. Add peanuts, if using, just before serving. CHM

ROER & STEWART

L

BY CHANDLER CARPENTER

Liddy Roer and Grainger Stewart first met in 2007 on a mission trip

when they were freshmen in high school. Although Liddy admits she had a huge crush on Grainger, they were both dating other people at the time. In 2009, they reconnected and dated through college.

He studied structural engineering at NC State while she majored in education at UNC. After graduation, they took jobs in different cities with Liddy teaching social studies at McDougle Middle School.

In May of 2016, they made the big move to Bozeman, Montana, with their black lab, aptly named Bozeman. When they moved, they had been talking about getting engaged. Little did Liddy know that Grainger had asked her parents for her hand in marriage. That Christmas, the couple bought their first tree together and Grainger mentioned a special ornament. When Liddy went to hang the glass painted ornament, she noticed a diamond ring hanging on it. When she turned around, Grainger got down on one knee.

The pair will get married July 28, 2017 in Montana. CHM

FERRIS & HAUTAU

A

BY L AUREN FARRINGTON PHOTOGRAPHY BY KRYSTAL KAST KRYSTALKASTPHOTOGRAPHY.COM

After meeting at an Irish pub in Greenwich Village in 2009, Virginia Ferris and Chase Hautau would go on to date long distance. Their love stretched from Brooklyn, where Chase worked at J.P. Morgan Chase, to Chapel Hill, where Virginia studied library science at UNC. They took weekend getaways together to Charleston as often as possible, so when they planned another trip to The Holy City, Chase knew it was a special opportunity to propose.

After dinner at the couple’s favorite restaurant, Chase popped the question.

Virginia and Chase were married on December 10, 2016 at Fearrington Village as a fire warmed the cold day with a ceremony officiated by Reverend Barbara Lodge. The couple wrote their own vows and showed their commitment with the Celtic ritual of handfasting, tying their hands together with a braided cord to symbolize their union. Friends and family – including the bride’s father and stepmother, UNC professors William R. Ferris and Marcie Cohen Ferris, her mother, Susannah Furr, the groom’s father and stepmother, Arthur and Doreen Hautau, and his mother, Joanne Kolmar – were gathered in the Garden Terrace for the ceremony. Other close relatives played their part in the couple’s big day – Chase’s sister designed the programs and Virginia’s cousins performed an arrangement of “I Will” by The Beatles for the bridal processional. The night ended with a marathon dance party, featuring Virginia’s grandmothers as the stars of the dance floor.

Virginia is an outreach and instruction librarian for special collections at NC State University Libraries, while Chase is an IT professional at MetLife.

The couple resides in Cary. CHM

Even though Robert Koraly and Meredith Herndon first met as children and carpooled to school together, they didn’t reconnect until almost 20 years later. After dating for a few years, Rob managed to surprise Meredith by popping the question during a romantic island stroll on Bogue Sound. She was even more surprised when their friends popped up from behind the surrounding dunes to celebrate with Champagne and fireworks.

The couple tied the knot on September 17, 2016 at Ann Street United Methodist Church in Beaufort, North Carolina, at a teary-eyed ceremony, with most of the tears, the groom admits, coming from him. Following the vows, they paraded to the waterfront with 300 of their closest family and friends to take a boat to the reception, held

at Gallants Channel Annex. They had a dream reception, with food catered by coastal eateries Circa 81 and Dank Burrito, accompanied with live music performed by one of the couple’s favorites, reggae band Heritage. They spent the rest of the night dining and dancing alongside guests like their parents, Bob and Naida Koraly of Cape Carteret, and Wayne and Pam Herndon of Pittsboro.

The pair currently lives in Cedar Point, North Carolina. CHM

PUDIK & HERRMANN

Chapel Hill native and Chapel Hill High School grad Rachel Pudik met Luke Herrmann during their first semester at Virginia Tech.

Luke, who is from Richmond, Virginia, lived on the same hall as Rachel and they met in the hall lounge, where she challenged him to a plank contest. After losing to Luke in the contest, their adventures together began.

They spent many days grabbing wings and fries at the dining hall followed by walks to the Duck Pond, a favorite spot on campus, where they would waste time (and extra fries) trying to catch catfish. After a year of trips to their spot and visiting each other over the summer, Rachel and Luke began dating in August of 2013. Two and a half years later, Luke got down on one knee and proposed to Rachel on the same footbridge where they caught their first catfish.

The couple celebrated their special day with a beautiful September ceremony and reception at The Chapel Hill Carriage House.

Surrounded by loved ones, including parents, Michael and Linda Pudik and John and Lisa Herrmann, the couple enjoyed an evening full of fun. Rachelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite moment was when she and Luke got to walk around the reception with the resident alpaca, Abraham, laughing and goofing off together.

The couple resides in Pittsburgh. CHM
