STRONGER TOGETHER A FEW FRIDAYS AGO, photographer Briana Brough and I spent the day at The Carolina Inn taking photos for our Women’s Issue. Briana scouted the perfect location to

shoot each woman, intern Savannah Shaney assisted with lighting and I helped as needed. It was a long day but we knocked out most of the photos you’ll see starting on page 34. Best of all, we got to spend time with some incredible Chapel Hill women.

We kicked off the day with Janice McAdams, who was a pleasure to interview a week earlier.

The best advice she’d ever been given? “Listen. It’s really hard to do sometimes because I love to talk,” she told me. “You learn so much.” She does a lot of that as executive director of SECU Family House at UNC Hospitals.

Then there were the energetic women of PORCH – Susan Romaine, Christine Cotton and Debbie Horwitz – who just hit the $2 million mark in donations for hunger relief earlier this year. (Briana captured them, appropriately, on the Inn’s famous porch.) Mayoral aide Jeanne Brown and I chatted about the town’s newest festival, Near & Far, (page 21) and the new thirdgrade field trips to Town Hall she helped start (page 14) when I drove her back to work.

Dr. Sue Ellen Cox dropped in between patients for her photo. Anita Woodley told us about her upcoming trip to Ferguson, Missouri, and I couldn’t help but notice that her colorful ensemble and spirit matched the bright bird wallpaper behind her. With Susan Levy’s retirement from Habitat for Humanity of Orange County just months away, I was glad we were recognizing someone so deserving and committed to her organization.

Finally, Chapel Hill High School senior Nadiya Farrington looked every bit an adult just days after her 18th birthday while her mom, positively beaming, and I stood off to the side as Briana snapped away.

I hope you’ll enjoy spending time getting to know these women and a few others we’re highlighting this issue. CHM

SPONSORED BY AUTO LOGIC I don’t know much about cars. How can I keep this from happening?

Maintenance schedules are outlined in your owner’s manual. Some shops sell “services” that are unnecessary to generate income. If it’s not in your owner’s manual, you probably do not need it!

for WOMEN

What makes Auto Logic different?

WITH MARIANNE JONES, CO-OWNER, AUTO LOGIC

I am always afraid I will get ripped off when I take my car in to a shop!

Over the past 31 years I have observed that women of all ages have had far more negative experiences related to automotive repair than men. Frankly, women are frequently sold things they do not need by means of aggressive sales tactics.

The technicians we employ are some of the very best brains in the industry. We make sure ALL of our customers feel comfortable, repected and valued when they do business with us. I am at the shop everyday and am available to chat anytime. We gladly answer questions and provide second opinions. You will be treated fairly at Auto Logic. We will not sell you anything you do not need and we stand behind our work. It’s that straight forward. You have my word. —Marianne

As we were winding down another school year of frustration, with countless evenings of homework battle… a friend told me about Leigh Brain & Spine.

My son had been struggling with ADHD and anxiety for many years and now that he was 13 it seemed to be getting worse. Dr. Cosmas Leigh performed a qEEG brain map and made it easy for us to see and understand how our son’s brain functioning was creating his ADHD and anxiety. Dr. Trish Leigh told us how they could improve our son’s brain through an advanced technique called Neurofeedback to get rid of the daily struggles and make life easier and happier, for all of us.

The Leighs are skilled and have been practicing for over 20 years. They constantly analyzed our son’s program to improve his behavior and learning.

It was amazing! Our son went through the summer program and by the second week of the next school year his teachers called to find out what we did over the summer to make such a HUGE improvement. There are so many kids out there needlessly suffering from learning problems and anxiety, like my son. Like me they’ve never heard of these new, cutting-edge, brain-based approaches. Over the years the Drs. Leigh have helped a lot of kids and their families and they will work hard to help you too. – Parent of Sam, Age 14

HANK ANDERSON COMMUNITY PARK nderson park is readily accessible via N.C. 54. The park is perfect because of the ample space for dogs to run free and play. There is enough space to play fetch with your dog. There is a separate space for smaller sized dogs too.

Rasheed Stabler Wallace Our dog grew up in Arizona and loved to go mountain hiking; now he loves to jump on – and sometimes over – the boulders at Homestead.

Great neighbors are always willing to open their doors to you and we have a lot of doors we can open. Of course, we are also experts on what’s outside of those doors.

Our sales associates know the best boutiques, the best restaurants for date night, and where the farmers’ markets are located. Because when you move in the Triangle, you’re not just buying a home, you’re buying a neighborhood. We can help you with both.

Memories with Dad in Chapel Hill

I

was nearly five when Daddy graduated from the UNC School of Medicine. I remember his black gown against a backdrop of pink azaleas in full bloom and the dark, angular shadows that his square cap cast on his young face that day. I remember holding his hand as I walked atop the stone walls that lined McCorkle Place on the way back to our car.

Father’s Day stirs up cherished memories of life in Chapel Hill with my dad [Joey M. Carter, MD] – Fourth of July fireworks and fall football at Kenan Stadium, basketball games in Carmichael, shadowing him on his Saturday morning hospital rounds and dancing in the living room as he played Scott Joplin’s “The Entertainer” on the piano.

Before my 10th birthday in 1972, Dad was named the third Womack Scholar at UNC. Later, he assisted in UNC’s first kidney transplant and served as the chief of staff at N.C. Memorial Hospital. When he wasn’t putting faces and lives back together as a surgeon, he worked in the yard, push-mowing 28

the grass or trimming the roses as he listened to WCHL on his AM transistor radio.

After 14 years of training, he finally became a plastic and reconstructive surgeon. He transformed the diseased, injured and unrecognizable into the beautiful and grateful. Over chili dogs, Carolina red slaw and sweet tea, he would pass before-and-after, color Kodak slides around the supper table. Holding them up to the light one by one, we’d discuss his surgery du jour. Mom and I winced at the before photos and wowed the grand finales: an ear sliced off a speeding motorcyclist’s head now seamlessly reattached, an ironworker’s nose eroded by skin cancer now rebuilt and a woman’s chest, disfigured by a mastectomy, now restored.

Those suppertime discussions were quite a contrast to the quiet Saturday afternoons spent with Daddy, exploring the woods in what is now the Booker Creek subdivision and the unnamed waterfall that used to cascade from what is now Lake Ellen. Other days, we explored unseen worlds together in his

I miss my dad, not just on Father’s Day, but every day. Yet, somehow, he’s still with me here in Chapel Hill. He’s still near in the memories of enjoying burgers and dirty fries at Brady’s and cheesy lasagna at The Rathskeller. He’s with me as I remember browsing The Intimate Bookshop on Franklin Street and flying model airplanes together in the open fields at Horace Williams Airport.

Life wasn’t perfect. Sure, there were gray days, lots of dreary, teenage journal entries and too much woe-is-me poetry during those growing up years in Chapel Hill. But, generally, life was bright and stable, full of fragrant honeysuckle vines, red cardinals, lightning bugs and Charlie Brown specials – all of it undergirded by a father’s love.

What are some of your best memories of being with your dad in Chapel Hill?

Dede Leftwich My dad taught at the

dental school. He would walk to and from work from our home on Carolina Avenue.

Spring and summer afternoons I would sometimes start walking to meet him coming home from work. I could always hear him before I saw him because he whistled the whole way.

Paula Craige Riding with him in his

Plymouth to Merritt’s for some Schlitz beer and to the ice house in Carrboro for big chunks of ice before a party.

Ottieree Farrington Working with him

in the shop fixing cars! Then off to our fishing spot at University Lake.

Leigh Fristoe Walth Going to the

Chapel of the Cross church and playing on the big sundial in front of Morehead Planetarium, taking swimming lessons at the university and watching Charlie Scott play basketball.

Matthew Ripley-Moffitt Saturday

morning trips to the Long Meadow Dairy Bar on West Franklin Street for doughnuts and chocolate/coffee.

Jeff Rupkalvis My Dad loved going

to Mariakakis for pizza and a pitcher of beer – this was back in the ’70s. Tommy Mariakakis from the kitchen always spoke to his customers. “Make the crust crispy,” Dad always directed Doris, who waited on us often. Something sweet from the pastry cabinet as Dad paid the bill at the register on the way out was the perfect ending to an all-too-familiar and cherished family dinner at a longtime Chapel Hill institution.

Debbie Horwitz Susan Romaine & Christine Cotton Founders, PORCH

The founders of PORCH are close friends united around a single mission: feeding those in need in their community. Christine Cotton, Debbie Horwitz and Susan Romaine began collecting canned food from their Lake Hogan Farms neighbors in 2010.

Today, the nonperishable program stocks 15 pantries and the fresh food program serves over 400 families, including more than 1,050 children and 750 adults, every month. In February, they reached $2 million in total donations for hunger relief in the area.

OR THE AVERAGE CHAPEL HILL RESIDENT,

hunger might seem like a faraway issue – in reality, it is much closer than many might realize. “Over 1 in 4 children in Orange County are at risk of hunger,” says Debbie Horwitz, “and 75 percent of the families we serve in the program report that they experience food insecurity on a regular basis.”

For Debbie and her PORCH co-founders, Christine Cotton and Susan Romaine, there is no such thing as a typical day.

Their work to combat food insecurity at the local level involves a mix of organizational skills, marketing, coordination, passion and timing.

“One week a month, we are all focused on the neighborhood food drives, food sorting at St. Thomas More and food deliveries,” says Christine.

“These are the days that motivate all of us – seeing our community come together, and then being able to hand-deliver to our neighbors in need all that we collected, plus the fresh produce purchased with the generous cash donations we receive.”

On those weeks, “It’s all about the food!” says Debbie.

“Hundreds of volunteers join us to gather, sort, pack, load and deliver food all day long.” Monthly, PORCH provides each participating family with over a week’s worth of fresh, nutritious produce, milk, eggs, chicken and nonperishables.

The rest of the month, the team works to recruit and interact with volunteers, from high school-age students to senior citizens.

They also call families in need to talk about the program and collaborate with leaders of other nonprofit organizations to connect those clients to other services, such as free books, English classes or legal advice. PORCH has also partnered with local groups, including The Splinter Group, the UNC Community Development Law Clinic and the Kenan-Flagler Nonprofit Board Consultants program, who want to lend a hand.

36

chapelhillmagazine.com May/June 2018

Incorporated as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in May of 2010, PORCH has grown exponentially over the past eight years. “I never would have guessed in our wildest dreams that those first cans of tuna picked up from neighbors’ porches would eventually lead to $2 million in local hunger relief – not to mention an additional $1.5 million in hunger relief collected by PORCH affiliates in Hillsborough, Durham, Raleigh and other cities around the state,” says Susan. “It’s a great example of taking a very simple idea and nurturing its organic growth to meet a very specific community need.”

Much of Christine’s time is focused on expanding their impact. “Currently, my role is to facilitate the replication of the PORCH model in other communities,” she says.

Her background in project management has helped Christine create systems to keep organized, track donations, donors and growth and develop an easily replicable model. Today, PORCH has grown to include 15 communities throughout North Carolina, as well as areas of Ohio, Washington, D.C. and Maryland.

The women also recognize the bond they share as a critical component of their work: “I am especially lucky to be working with two of my closest friends, women that I admire and inspire me every day,” says Debbie. “Our partnership, including our different strengths and shared commitment to hunger relief, is a key factor in the success of our work.”

Having simple goals, Susan says, is what keeps them focused.

“Setting out to solve hunger can feel so overwhelming that it’s almost paralyzing. Most of us just shut down,” she explains. She encourages a different perspective: focus on one meal at a time, on one day of the month, for one neighbor. “If we get enough people to tap into the power of one, then as a community we can do some really amazing things together,” says Susan. “And that’s the spirit of PORCH.” –Morgan Cartier Weston April 2017 chapelhillmagazine.com

Nadiya Farrington High School Senior and Volunteer

A senior at Chapel Hill High School, Nadiya juggles AP classes alongside her duties as a volleyball coach and her two part-time jobs. When she’s not with her younger sister, mom and extended family, you might find her with friends hiking, hanging out on Franklin Street or Cat’s Cradle. This fall, the 18-year-old heads off to Cornell University College of Architecture, Art, and Planning.

I

T MAKES SENSE THAT NADIYA

Farrington fell in love with architecture.

“Just a couple of days ago … I found this journal that I had written to an old math teacher of mine on how much I just love math.” Combine that with her affinity for art and making things by hand and it’s no wonder something clicked during her freshman year drafting class. “As I kept learning more about architecture and seeing buildings in real life, ... I put all these pieces together” she says.

Drafting teacher Will McSwain calls Nadiya a dedicated and creative individual. “I am excited to see where she goes from here, and I expect her to make waves wherever she lands.”

One thing Nadiya says she’ll continue with in the future is her experience outside the classroom with Habitat for Humanity locally and other house-building groups during trips to Guatemala and Mexico. “I really like the hands-on building because in just a short amount of time you get to see something that you’ve built come up and really see how it changes a certain family’s life.”

After a six-week architecture program last summer at Cornell, Nadiya can’t wait to start there this fall. “I’ve been in Chapel Hill my entire life so [I’m excited to be able] to get out and just learn more about myself and to focus on something that I love so much.” –Jessica Stringer

Anita Woodley

Health Educator and Founder of Anita Wood ley Productions Formerly an Emmy award-winning journalist, Anita now uses theater to educate people about health issues and disparities. Her repertoire of 15 shows deals with everything from breast cancer and obesity to selfesteem and conflict resolution. She performs her onewoman show at various Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools through The ArtsCenter’s Arts in Schools program and is a teaching artist-in-residence for the Durham Arts Council’s Creative Arts in Public & Private Schools (CAPS) program. Anita lives in Chapel Hill with husband Wes and son Xavier, 15.

You use humor to educate people about serious health issues. Why do you think it works so well?

“Humor opens people up. The very physics of laughter forces one to curl the corners of the mouth, stretch the lips until they open, part the teeth revealing the inside of the mouth and during a really deep releasing laugh, exercise the throat muscles. This act releases, creates space and allows new experiences to come in.”

Tell me about a memorable response to one of your plays.

“The most memorable response was to my show ‘Mama Juggs: The Breast Health Education Show.’ A day prior to the show, I did a meditative prayer, asking my mama what else I could add to her character’s story to benefit the audience. My mama died at 47 years old because of ignorance, the lack of health literacy. She was too afraid to go back to the doctor’s office when they discovered she had a lump under her arm. I heard her say, ‘Teach them how I changed [the dressing on] my breast wound from the cancer.’ I went to CVS and bought all the supplies, adding this intimate and stirring ritual to my performance. I even had an audience member come up to assist with the tape, as I used to while [my mama] dressed her wound.

At the end of the show, a woman emotionally approached me. She said, ‘Thank you for showing me what to expect. The doctors told me I would have to change my chest when they removed my breast, but I had no idea they meant all that with draining included. I thought it meant a Band-Aid. You have no idea how you’ve helped me to go back to the doctor for this mastectomy.’ It touched me so much because I listened to my intuition and a need was served.” –Holly West 40

Jeanne Brown Mayoral Aide, Town of Chapel Hill

After years of being involved in school and neighborhood issues, including the Chapel Hill 2020 process, Jeanne was invited to a discussion with then-mayoral candidate Pam Hemminger. The two hit it off, and Jeanne became one of Pam’s campaign managers. When Pam was elected in 2015, she made Jeanne her mayoral aide. Jeanne is married to Dr. Monte Brown, associate dean of veteran affairs at Duke University Health System, and has two children: Collin, a freshman at Duke, and Derek, a 2018 graduate of Carnegie Mellon University.

I

F YOU’VE EVER CALLED TOWN HALL

with a concern, you may have talked to Jeanne. As Mayor Pam Hemminger’s aide, part of her multifaceted job is handling phone calls and emails from constituents.

“We take it very seriously, every call that comes in, no matter how big or how little.” Jeanne, a self-described “process person,” put in place a tracking system that makes sure each resident gets a response from the appropriate staff member.

She also drafts resolutions, writes announcements and preps the mayor for town council meetings. She helped establish a third-grade field trip program that brings Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools students studying government to Town Hall for a day of hands-on learning and a mock council meeting with the mayor. “They come to the mic and they ask great questions and voice their opinions,” she says.

Jeanne has become Town Hall’s de facto advocate for people with disabilities. Before moving to Chapel Hill in 2005, she lost 70 percent of her vision due to an unexplained medical issue.

While it doesn’t stop her from getting her job done, it has made her sensitive to the needs of people who are differently abled.

She worked with the town’s human resources department to make documents available in larger fonts and create a policy for employees who can’t drive but need to leave the office for work purposes. She also advocated for seniors and people with disabilities during discussions about changing the curbside trash and recycling program.

For Jeanne, it all comes back to serving residents. “It’s just really an amazing job. You’re in this position where you get to help celebrate community successes, but also when people have problems you can connect them with resources and get them the help they need.” –Holly West May/June 2018 chapelhillmagazine.com

Susan Levy

Executive Director of Habitat for Humanity Born in Maryland, but raised in Massachusetts, Susan attended Mount Holyoke College and was recruited to come to North Carolina as a community organizer in 1978. She lives in Chatham County with husband Franz Thomas and daughter Rachel Thomas-Levy and she enjoys reading, yoga, going to the gym and serving on the affordable housing task force.

S

USAN HAS DONE EVERY JOB AT Habitat for Humanity of Orange County.

“Except construction!” she laughs. “I could not tell you how to build a house from the ground up.” In those early years as executive director, Susan did a range of tasks until she built up the staff.

Housing has been a passion for Susan her entire adult life.

Initially drawn to the South in the late ‘70s to do community organizing in Durham, Susan pursued an advanced degree in UNC’s Department of City and Regional Planning with a focus in housing and community development. “Habitat’s come up with this slogan: ‘Housing is key.’ But I’ve always felt like that,” Susan says. “It has an impact on so many other parts of life.” She then worked in public policy and helped start a community land trust before finding her way to Habitat.

Even after starting her 26th year with the organization in 2018, no day is the same for Susan. “You think you’ve seen everything, but you never have,” she says. One thing that never gets old is the process. “I don’t want to sound like a Pollyanna but I think there is something really special and magical about what Habitat does. Because it’s a crazy way to build houses.”

She’s also still in awe of the hard work done by the volunteers. “You walk through the house when it’s finished and go, ‘Oh my gosh, I can’t believe volunteers built this house because [it’s] beautiful!’” And then she sees Habitat’s impact on the homeowners. “I’m not saying that we change people’s lives overnight, or it’s some kind of like ‘wave a magic wand and everybody’s life is better,’ but [you watch] people move from a situation that isn’t very stable or healthy ... into a home that they own in a neighborhood where they feel safe.”

With her retirement coming in December, Susan’s confident she’s departing at a good time. “We’ve got some exciting things on the horizon. I’m leaving it in the hands of really great people.” As for herself, she says, “I’m really excited about what may pop up and be in my future.” –Jessica Stringer May/June 2018 chapelhillmagazine.com

Executive Director, SECU Family House at UNC Hospitals Janice moved to Chapel Hill in 1975 to complete graduate school at UNC, earning a Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instruction. She spent many hours on projects at Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute, University United Methodist Preschool, and Ephesus Elementary before working in development at Trinity School of Durham and Chapel Hill. At Family House, she splits her days fundraising, planning for the expansion, “leaving my door open so people can drop in if they want to, listening to stories, having hard conversations sometimes when things don’t well and just being available.” Janice and husband John have three adult children and a lively black lab named Chessy. She’s passionate about growing things: plants, buildings and friendships old and new.

Janice on the Family House “We don’t offer any medical services. What we offer is safety, location – we’re a mile from the hospital – [and] transportation back and forth. It’s $45 for a room and $60 for a suite; almost nobody pays that. Whatever you pay, there’s an open pantry, there’s food almost every night, transportation to the hospital is free. You really can stay here for very little and then focus on what’s really important.”

A Patient’s Perspective “When cancer strikes, it affects everyone in your family. With your chemo and your radiation, you don’t know what’s going to happen… and then you come home to this place, and you feel so safe here [at Family House].” –Ronald Livesay (cancer patient) and his wife of 47 years, Donetta Livesay, current Family House guests who usually live on Roanoke Island, NC Balancing Act “Just this week we were walking out of a board meeting, talking through our key board issues, when we passed a young family with two small children headed to their guest room at Family House. Without missing a beat, Janice engaged the parent, shared a laugh, offered to help if needed and made sure they were set for the night. In that single act, Janice reminds us all that what we do at Family House is not so much a job, but rather a commitment to help people from around our state who come to UNC Hospitals for care they can’t get close to home.” –Dr. Matt Ewend, Family House Board President

Sue Ellen Cox, MD

Founder/Medical Director of Aesthetic Solutions

Sue Ellen’s drive to enter medicine came from her father, Dr. Rody Cox, who, at 92, has yet to exit the field. She has three children, Garrett, Liam and Caitlin – she’ll finish medical school this year. Sue Ellen herself graduated from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine and teaches at UNC School of Medicine and Duke University Medical Center.

E

VERYTHING WAS IN PLACE

for a successful “lunch and learn” at Dr. Sue Ellen Cox’s dermatology clinic, Aesthetic Solutions. About a dozen women who were considering the clinic’s latest laser treatment had gathered for a demo. Only one thing was missing: a patient.

A woman who had agreed to play that role had cancelled.

So Sue Ellen hopped on the table and had the demonstration done on her. “It was fine other than four days of looking a little swollen and red and having to explain myself to patients,” says Sue Ellen.

Sue Ellen opened Aesthetic Solutions in 2004 with client work, from fat reduction to skin lasers to botox work, making up one side of the business. But the clinic also hosts and oversees industry-level clinical trials, including formal research and validation studies on new techniques, machines and drugs within the field. Results from her studies can make or break a product’s chances in the dermatology market.

“My reputation is based on delivering results,” she says.

“I definitely want to have that 100 percent knowledge.”

She also emails frequently with a group of other leading women dermatologists across the country. The group, says Sue Ellen, was brought together several years ago by a pharmaceutical company for an industry trade show.

“Much to the company’s surprise, we’ve stayed together,” she says. Self-named the “Derm Divas,” the group routinely swaps questions, experiences and even health warnings among their practices, which span from New York, Texas, California and even to Hawaii. “If something is not quite right, we hear about it like this,” she says, snapping her fingers. “Like if there’s a bad batch of botox, we’re kind of the first to know. Or if something works really well.” –Matt White 45

Eliza MacLean Founder, Cane Creek Farm

Eliza started Cane Creek Farm in 2000 with a herd of pygmy goats. A new mother of twins, she was looking for a job that would foster her love of wildlife and agriculture but keep her close to home. The Saxapahaw farm, now focused on hogs, is affiliated with Left Bank Butchery, owned by former Cane Creek employee Ross Flynn. Eliza can be found selling her meats at the Carrboro Farmers’ Market every Wednesday and Saturday. She lives with her partner, Elizabeth Basnight; twins Enid and Quinn, now juniors at Chapel Hill High School; and 11-month-old Lawrence.

Starting Out “I was interested in wildlife medicine.

That’s why I moved to North Carolina in ‘94 in the first place. One thing led to another and I decided I wanted to raise pigs on my farm. We went to people and communities in Duplin, Sampson, Johnson counties who had experience with hogs who were letting tobacco allotments go. I ended up helping them get all these herds going, and that’s how I got livestock.”

Eliza runs the farm with the help of one employee and 11-month-old Lawrence.

Farm Life “Mostly it’s me and the baby working with one other man moving fences, taking down fences, getting garden plots ready. This is a rotational grazing operation.

It’s intensive. Pigs are very disruptive and they will do too much damage, but if you use them sparingly, they will clear land for you. The pigs came in and helped us take down all the trees, and then the grass seeds were there still. We run sheep and goats and chickens through them. Pigs keep coming through, tilling the soil, adding fertility. They also go back into the gardens when the gardens are done and glean the vines. I don’t have to till very much. I use a lot of animal power. It’s a relentless process.”

Why it Matters “We can remind people how to cook. We’ve gotten so dumbed down with our Costcos and our Walmarts with their organic sections. It’s great those high-quality foods exist, but people don’t know how to deal with it. They overcook things, and they want more for cheap. All of the problems of big agriculture exist in those places. I wanted to be another option. We have different cuts from all the muscles in the shoulder, things you can’t find in stores. People can come watch us cut and learn where they come from.” CHM

FOR THE NINTH STRAIGHT YEAR, Chapel Hill Magazine commissioned a peer-to-peer survey of the local dental community – from endodontists to prosthodontists. The following rankings are the result.

Dentists were asked the telling question: “If you had a patient in need of a dentist, which dentist would you refer them to, other than yourself?”

The Chapel Hill area is well-served by the dental community: Hundreds of dentists, specialists and support professionals have made this town their home, and the overall quality of dental care in our communities is second to none. What good dentist wouldn’t want to practice here?

A Little Background The Top Dentists list for Chapel Hill is the result of a rigorous evaluation process consisting of peer-to-peer surveys of area dentists and professionals. This survey was conducted and managed by the nationally recognized third-party firm topDentists LLC of Augusta, Ga. The list is excerpted from the 2018 topDentistsTM list, a database that includes listings for dentists and specialists in the Chapel Hill area. The Chapel Hill list is based on detailed evaluations of dentists and professionals by their peers. The complete database is available at usatopdentists.com. topDentists management has more than 40 years experience compiling peer-review referral guides in the dental, medical and legal fields. Working from this experience, along with the input of several prominent dentists from throughout the United States, topDentists created a selection process that has earned the respect of the country’s leading dental professionals. For more information call 706-364-0853; write P.O. Box 970, Augusta, GA 30903; email info@usatopdentists.com or visit usatopdentists.com.

WITH NEW RETAIL SPOTS, UPDATED RESTAURANTS AND FUN COMMUNITY EVENTS, YOU’LL WANT TO MAKE THE (SHORT) TRIP TO SOUTHERN CHAPEL HILL, PITTSBORO AND SILER CITY

BY HOLLY WEST

INTERIOR BEAUTY nterior design enthusiasts rejoice! Chatham is now home to not one but two new home goods stores – Steel Roots near Briar Chapel and NEST in Fearrington Village.

When Fearrington’s The Belted Goat moved to the spot formerly occupied by The Granary, Daneen Eaton says it was only natural to turn its old home into NEST. The shop offers traditional homewares in addition to specialty foods from the Fearrington Collection like house-made jams, bespoke candles and a line of teas. Daneen, buyer and merchandising manager for both NEST and Dovecote Style, says the decor can add a punch to any room, while their whimsical gifts and paper goods are perfect for celebrations and will vary by the season.

If it goes in a house, Steel Roots owner Christy O’Hara has it. The interior designer opened home goods store Steel Roots, located on 15-501, in mid-March after noticing a gap in the local market. “I wanted to have a place for people to come and find unique accessories and

decor, plus interior design services,” she says.

The store’s selection includes chandeliers, upholstered furniture, window treatments and much more. If customers can’t find what they’re looking for in-store, Christy says she probably has it in the warehouse for her interior design business, Simply O Interiors. The store also stocks a wide variety of jewelry and other accessories.

Briar Chapel RESIDENTS CHERISH THE GREEN SPACES, THE COMMUNITY FEEL AND, OF COURSE, THE NEIGHBORHOOD POOL

BY MAT T WHITE | PHOTOGRAPHY BY BRIANA BROUGH

E

RIN MESSIER BEGAN SELLING HOMES in Briar Chapel in 2012 and almost immediately moved in as a resident. As a sales rep for David Weekley Homes, one of the neighborhood’s largest builders, she found it was easy to sell potential home buyers on a neighborhood lifestyle that she and her family actively lived: the pool and its waterslides, miles of shady trails, a network of common green spaces and a culture that encouraged neighbors to get outside and meet one another.

JUST THE FACTS: Briar Chapel Where?

The community is three miles south of the Orange County line on 15-501. Briar Chapel Parkway runs for approximately one mile through mostly wooded and landscaped ground before arriving at the center of the neighborhood. The neighborhood is about eight miles south of UNC and Franklin Street and 10 miles to downtown Pittsboro.

Style of Houses The homes are generally classic modern, Colonial or executive style. Many houses are one- or twostory Craftsman or split level. A number of builders adhere to the National Green Building Standard.

The neighborhoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest community, Encore, is the first section aimed at an age-specific audience of late-career professional seniors and retirees.

Many homes in the section are one-story.

Schools Two schools are located within the community: Woods Charter School (K-12) and Margaret B. Pollard Middle School. Students also attend Northwood High School (7 miles) and Perry Harrison Elementary School (5 miles).

Property Tax Rate As of 2017, the Chatham County property tax rate is $.73 per $100 of assessed value. That is the sum of $.63 to Chatham County and $.10 to the North Chatham fire district.

Lot Size Most lots in the community are a quarter acre or less. Many homes adjoin or sit within a short walk of park-like common green spaces.

Price Prices range from the mid-$200,000s for townhome-style homes up to $600,000.

Among the houses on the market currently: a 2,499-square-foot three-bedroom house on Cardinal Ridge is listed at $366,000, and a 2,924-square-foot four-bedroom on Great Ridge Parkway is available for $424,990. The price range stays about the same in the Encore community, and currently there are several houses on the market, including a 2,241-square-foot twobedroom on Boone Street listed at $383,900.

Recently, Erin says she has seen a string of buyers that need no convincing of Briar Chapel’s perks. To her surprise, she says, she’s sold close to a dozen homes in the last two or three years to repeat buyers, families who’ve made the unusual decision to move out of one Briar Chapel house and into another.

“It’s definitely very unique and something I’ve never experienced in another new home community I’ve been a part of,” Erin says.

“Some buyers came in very quickly [to their first house] and bought a resale-home that doesn’t fit their needs. Or there’s been a change in family status and they’re sizing up or sizing down.”

Erin says she’s had second-time buyers come in who have gotten married or brought in extended family members and now want a bigger place, and others who have seen kids move out and now want something smaller. Still other families are trading up as workfrom-home professionals expand their home office space, including some families that now need two home offices.

What they all have in common, Erin says, is a desire to stay in Briar Chapel.

When Jaime and Chris Detzi moved about a quarter mile in 2015 to Bennett Mountain Trace, Chris was eyeing a third-floor bonus space for his office.

“I was having to take phone calls at the [neighborhood] clubhouse for quiet,” says Chris, a user interface designer for mobile and web apps who has primarily worked from home for 10 years. “I needed to have some isolated space.”

The Detzis were among the first wave of residents to arrive in the neighborhood a decade ago and bought an already-built house in 2010. “The kids were getting older, we added a dog and we have grandparents wanting to come over all the time. We were kicking people out of beds all the time,” says Chris.

Their first decision was whether or not to leave the neighborhood. “We had to decide if this was where we wanted to be for 10 or 15 years,” Chris says. It was. Chris says he walks the family’s dogs on the trails every day, and their kids are just entering teen years, surrounded by other kids they’ve grown up with.

“We thought about adding [onto our current home] but then decided we wanted a little bit larger yard,” he says. The family moved to a lot on about one-third of an acre, one of the bigger lots in the neighborhood.

When Briar Chapel launched in 2007, it was both controversial and innovative. Feared as Chatham’s first “mega-development,” the neighborhood debuted with plans for 2,000 homes,

a huge splash in the Chatham real estate market, and was met with years of resistance in permitting. But while envisioned as a bedroom community for both Chapel Hill and the extended Triangle, the neighborhood also promised to be a subdivision built on the emerging trend of New Urbanist ideas: homes on postage stamp-like lots â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an eighth of an acre is common â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but with numerous small green spaces meant to draw residents out of their homes and into common spaces. Briar Chapel has over a dozen parks, from large main street-style green spaces like the five-acre Great Meadow to small neighborhood areas like Constellation Park, which features

adjacent pool deck covers close to an acre with two pools. A large, kid-friendly activity pool features a diving board, island, walk-in entry, fountains and two waterslides while a traditional lap pool is used by the neighborhood’s swim team and, during summer months, is open for early morning workouts. There is also a splash pad with fountains for nonswimmer toddlers.

About a half-mile past the pool and clubhouse is the neighborhood’s newest phase, Encore, a 55+ community.

The phase features its own pool (no waterslides here) and mostly ranch-style homes.

Elsewhere, The Courts at Boulder Point opened in 2016 with basketball, tennis and pickleball courts. And while the neighborhood remains several miles from most shopping – a Harris Teeter roughly two miles from the clubhouse is the closest grocery store – the opening of the Veranda on 15-501 in 2017 brought four restaurants, a salon, medical and law offices and a pharmacy to the “front porch” of the neighborhood.

Even 10 years into the development, says Erin, there is usually something new every year. “Word about the lifestyle of the community has definitely gotten

N E I G H B O R H O O D S

out,” she says. “There was always a question of what was going to be coming.

The Veranda, the sportsplex, all these things were talked about but now they’re here. People know you’re not just dumped in the middle of the county.”

Stacy and Mike Thrower moved to Chatham in 2013 from Baton Rouge, La. The Triangle offered a great home base for Mike’s job in software development for college athletic departments and they loved the public schools available for their four children. “While Baton Rouge is cool for culture, you basically have to look at private schools,” says Stacy.

While friends encouraged them to look at Apex, they found themselves driving around Chatham and stumbled across the neighborhood’s entrance. When they drove past the pool, they experienced a moment that many Briar Chapel residents say is common and they made a snap decision to try to live in the neighborhood.

Looking to initially rent rather than buy, they weren’t optimistic but quickly discovered that the neighborhood has a brisk rental market. The Briar Chapel Community Association caps rentals at 10 percent of total homes, which the neighborhood is currently well below.

The day the Throwers visited, a renter was moving out of a four-bedroom home just off the central circle. Within a week, they’d signed a contract to move in. They moved rental homes again before buying their own home two years ago in a newer section, with room for all four kids and Mike’s mother.

“We felt the doors kinda open for us,” she says. “‘This is what we were supposed to do.” CHM

Busy schedules mean family time is rare, but they all make the most of it.

the best of both worlds,” Tisha says. “You get the Chapel Hill address but you have the serenity of the country.”

The traditionally styled home has a few French country touches, an homage to James and Tisha’s Louisiana roots.

The couple carried that theme into their kitchen, which was completely gutted and rebuilt during a four-month renovation that ended in late March. Only the gray tile remains from the original space.

Tisha says it was reminiscent of another era, complete with hand-painted grapes on the backsplash.

“The kitchen was very dark. The countertops were black,” she says.

“Everything was very angular. The oven was kitty-corner, and the sink was in the corner, too. When the designers walked in, they said, ‘Oh look, a ’90s kitchen.’”

The Powell-Waynes worked with designers Mitch Danforth and Nancy Sullivan of Danforth Designed to bring their light-filled, open concept kitchen to life. The range top was moved from the island to the far wall and given a hood composed of cream-colored wood and stainless steel. The window above the sink was widened to improve the view.

Granite countertops, new appliances and updated light fixtures give the space a nice, bright finish.

“There were a couple moments where I thought, ‘Oh wow, this is nice.’ That’s when they put the lights in and when

the hood was put in,” Tisha says. “I was anxious and a little annoyed until I saw the things that made the biggest difference.”

The annoyance came from a lengthierthan-expected renovation that started the Monday after Thanksgiving and didn’t wrap up until almost April due to permitting issues. In the meantime, the family used its laundry room, equipped with a sink, as a kitchen. Feeding a family of four using a hot plate, microwave and toaster was a challenge, but James says it took him back to his roots.

“I was in our little makeshift kitchen and I was starting to get frustrated because I was in there washing my dishes by hand in a little cramped space and I had to take a step back and think to myself, ‘James, you come from humble beginnings. Your kitchen growing up was a lot smaller than this. You never had a dishwasher. We didn’t have a microwave.

Humble yourself. And just wash the dishes,’” he jokes.

The wait was worth it. He now counts the kitchen as one of his favorite rooms, along with the office, which has a good view in addition to being functional.

“It’s one of those places where something is always going on,” Tisha says. “We really live in it.”

room, where floor-to-ceiling windows provide a view of the picturesque backyard, complete with a pond and a variety of wildlife. James says his morning coffee is accompanied by views of swans, geese, ducks, turtles, osprey and an occasional blue heron or redtailed hawk.

Sometimes a fog covers the pond, giving it an ethereal look. Tisha recalls a magical moment that happened shortly after the family moved into the house five years ago. Then-10-year-old Nina was put in charge of feeding the swan.

“She was walking out with the swan food, and the swan was swimming up to her,” Tisha says. “And you’re like, ‘How whimsical is that?’ It looks like a fairy tale sometimes, if you look out the window at just the right time in the early morning or twilight.”

Tisha and Nina, now 15, moved to North Carolina from Louisiana in 2004 for Tisha to take a job with ABC11.

James was deployed to Iraq but was able to transfer to Fort Bragg and join them in the Triangle the next year. At the time, they didn’t know it was a permanent move. “It’s hard to develop a following in TV news especially if you’re not from here, but the Triangle area has embraced me and made it really easy to stay,” Tisha says. “It’s an area that’s very

and the kitchen, or as Tisha says, “between ‘Mickey Mouse Clubhouse’ and the stove.” When they’re out and about, they enjoy grabbing ice cream at Maple View Farm, eating at Kitchen or LaPlace and shopping at Purple Puddle.

No matter where they are, Tisha says her family’s time together is precious and fleeting, as Nina has her sights set on attending the Massachusetts Institute of Technology when she graduates in two years.

“When we get an opportunity to be together as a family, whether it’s here in our home or in our favorite places, the quality time that we have together is just golden,” she says.

“The memories we’re making right now with our younger daughter with her older sister in the house are just really special memories.” CHM 90

A few months ago, Leslie and chef Brendan Cox’s restaurant occupied a restored historic mill just outside downtown Pittsboro, surrounded by gently sloping grass hills and tall, quiet pine forests. This spring, Oakleaf relocated to Carrboro, directly next door to legendary rock ’n’ roll club Cat’s Cradle. It has been a whiplash-inducing few months for Leslie and Brendan. “We had no plans to move,” says Leslie. “Then our landlord doubled our rent.” The couple opened in East Main Square in March, between Cat’s Cradle and Fleet Feet. But while much has changed for Oakleaf, Leslie and Brendan have focused on keeping the menu stable. They’ve juggled the balance of traditional course dishes versus small plate offerings, but diners will find a familiar mix of farm-to-table seasonal vegetables – corn, peaches and blueberries should be in as summer arrives – homemade pasta and fresh seafood.

Fresh-caught fish from the Chesapeake Bay to Charleston arrive every day. “What makes us different is not just that we buy from farmers, but we make those things shine,” says Leslie. “A screamingly fresh fish is great on its own. What we do is highlight what makes it great.” Leslie also says the move “gave us a chance to get everything we wish we had in the old place,” including a patio and firepit, a larger bar and a private party room. The couple still lives in Pittsboro, but moving Oakleaf to Carrboro has, in one way, felt like coming home. “We knew that many of our customers were coming down from [Carrboro and Chapel Hill],” says Leslie. “This let us go where our customers already were.”­—Matt White CHM

Food that Jiggles Because I’ve been ridiculed and insulted over my obsession with gelatin, I haven’t mentioned it for quite a while. You may recall that when UNC Press launched its brilliant ‘Savor the South’ series I predicted a volume on gelatin. Heck, I even volunteered to write it. So far, peaches, tomatoes, ham, corn, bourbon and even gumbo have been featured in these beautiful little cookbooks.

But alas, no gelatin.

Could it be because jellied dishes are considered “lady food,” served mostly at bridge parties and bridesmaid luncheons?

(Just for the record, I never learned to play bridge and eloped ... twice.)

I’ll concede that aspics have been as politically incorrect as the word “lady” itself, as untrendy as basketball uniforms with short shorts. But for all of us who miss aspics, chiffon pies and Bavarian cream – and short tight shorts on basketball players – I have good news: the tide is turning!

This prediction has nothing to do with

my personal crystal ball. In March, The Durham Hotel’s Lobby Call series presented “O Moldy Night.” This “pop-up museum of molded foods” showcased gelled dishes by dozens of the Triangle’s best chefs, bartenders and food writers.

With the single exception of a dish by someone’s “beloved grandmother,” these were not your typical grandmother’s Jellos and aspics. Aaron Vandemark’s concoction, shaped like a bear, featured rice, sesame, nori (seaweed) and anchovies.

A train wreck of a dish was dubbed “Negotiating with Trump is like Negotiating with Jello.” My son Matt’s offering was a 21st-century rendition of souse (Google it).

“Ophelia Drowning in Aspic,” the grand prize winner by Sara Bell, featured vegetables, rosemary, fennel and Ophelia’s flowing hair was made from sliced shiitake mushrooms.

And then there were the riffs on Jello shots – Erin Durkin’s “Jiggle Gin Fizz,” Shannon Healy’s “Grapefruit Negroni” and

Orange Charlotte Russe Butter 12 whole ladyfingers 2 envelopes unflavored gelatin (Knox brand) 2 cups orange juice, preferably freshly squeezed 1 cup sugar 1 cup water 2 Tbsp. grated orange rind 1 Tbsp. lemon juice Pinch of salt 2 cups whipping cream 4 egg whites For garnish: Orange sections from 2 oranges Extra whipped cream Raspberries (optional)

Butter bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Divide the ladyfingers into 24 halves and place them upright around the sides of the pan.

Sprinkle the gelatin over the orange juice.

“Gin and Tonic,” a bit lopsided and wobbly as if it had been consuming itself. Can we be entering an era in which we eat our cocktails with a fork?

The event drew a huge, enthusiastic crowd, though I didn’t see many folks lining up to taste gelled seaweed.

As for those basketball shorts, check out University of Michigan’s new basketball uniforms. I’m not making this up.

“O Moldy Night” inspired me to unearth my own beloved grandmother’s recipe for Orange Charlotte Russe, a wonderful dessert I haven’t made in decades. Now that I’ve invested in a jumbo sized box of Knox gelatin, I’ll be using it for a lot more molded dishes this summer, though I draw the line at gin and tonics. No booze served at my house will ever, ever jiggle.

Meanwhile, heat the sugar and water in a saucepan until it comes to a boil and the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and stir in the orange juice. Add orange rind, lemon juice and salt. Cool the mixture over a bowl of ice water until it begins to jell and has the consistency of egg whites.

Beat the whipping cream until soft peaks form.

Wash and dry the beaters, then beat the egg whites in a large bowl until soft peaks form.

Beat the orange juice mixture until frothy.

Fold the cream, egg whites and juice mixture together carefully in the large bowl.

Spoon the Charlotte mixture into the pan until it reaches the top of the ladyfingers.

Refrigerate at least 4 hours until set.

To serve, remove the sides of the springform pan. Garnish with sweetened whipped cream spooned or piped around the edge of the Charlotte. Decorate with orange sections and raspberries. Slivered almonds, maraschino cherries or chocolate shavings could be used if you like. CHM

FERNANDEZ & SCHENDT

BY KRISTI PIECHNIK PHOTOGRAPHY BY MORGAN CADDELL MORGANCADDELLPHOTOGRAPHY.COM

J

Jamie Schendt was in his first year teaching after finishing his

master’s degree at UNC when he got a text message from a stranger.

That stranger was Caleb Fernandez who met Jamie’s brother, Tim, the day before at a St. Patrick’s Day celebration in Raleigh. Tim thought Caleb might be a good match for Jamie. Jamie and Caleb agreed to meet up for a date, and they’ve been together ever since.

Over Christmas 2016, the pair exchanged gifts in their Chapel Hill home. Caleb opened his last gift from Jamie – a new coat – and tried it on. When Caleb reached in the pocket, he felt something surprising – an engagement ring! Of course he said yes, and the couple shared their joy with family and friends later that afternoon.

The ceremony and reception will take place on October 20, 2018, at Tandem in Carrboro. Jamie is now a teacher of five years at Carrboro High School, while Caleb works at FleishmanHillard in Raleigh. CHM

HOBBS & DANIEL

I

BY ANNA POGARCIC PHOTOGRAPHY BY MORTON PHOTOGRAPHY; MORTONPHOTONC.COM

In 2007, Geoffrey Daniel was a junior at UNC, and Rosemary Hobbs was heading to

the University of Georgia for her first year of college. The two probably never would have crossed paths if it weren’t for Geoff’s roommate. He was dating one of Rosie’s girlfriends, and she convinced the whole friend group to go up to Chapel Hill for the weekend.

The couple dated for a while and later she got accepted to UNC’s MBA program. When they moved back, they started discussing their future together.

The couple had spent time in Miami before, but Geoff knew just what to do to make their most recent trip extra special.

After watching Jerry Seinfeld – their favorite comedian – do stand-up comedy, and just before a walk on the beach, Geoff popped the question. The happy couple celebrated privately over Champagne.

2017 came to close in the best way possible – Rosie and Geoff got married on Dec. 30 at Sacred Heart Church in Raleigh before heading to the reception at The Carolina Inn. All of their friends and family were present at the intimate celebration, including their parents, Mary and Greg Hobbs and Gloria and Robin Daniel. Rosie’s friend who brought her to Chapel Hill that weekend was also a bridesmaid.

Geoff and Rosie officially started their life in Carborro together and look forward to staying close to their family and friends in North Carolina. CHM

SACA & DREXLER

C

BY SARAH JEFFRIES PHOTOGRAPHY BY ALEXANDRIA CLAYTON AND MIRANDA GARDNER AL ANDEMPHOTOGRAPHY.COM

Chapel Hill residents Andrea Saca and Jared Drexler met in 2005 when Andrea’s mother, Silvia, introduced them at Rashkis Elementary School, where she and Jared both worked. Mother and daughter used to joke about how you could meet your future husband anywhere, even at the grocery store. This quip became true when a decade after first meeting, Andrea and Jared ran into one another at Harris Teeter in 2016, where he invited her to catch up over dinner at Al’s Burger Shack. Later that evening, Andrea called her mother to say she met the man who she knew she would marry.

Though the couple became inseparable after their first date, Jared’s proposal was a complete surprise. For Christmas, Andrea asked him for a love letter. He more than delivered when he gave her a letter and asked her to read it aloud before they opened presents. After she finished reading, Jared got down on one knee and proposed to her, surrounded by their immediate families. “I couldn’t say ‘yes’ fast enough,” says Andrea.

The couple was married on December 1, 2017 and had a simple, elegant ceremony and reception, featuring gold tablecloths, all-white flowers, silver dollar eucalyptus and lots of candlelight for a magical feel. Just like their proposal, Andrea and Jared’s big day included a few surprises. Andrea ordered pizzas from Jared’s friends at IP3 for the guests to enjoy as a late-night treat. She also arranged for their dog, Genny, to be a part of their sparkler exit.

Andrea and Jared wish to thank all members of their wedding party: maid of honor and sister of the bride Lissette Saca, bridesmaid and sister Nicole Saca, flower girl Grace Couts, best man and brother of the groom Adam Drexler, groomsman and brother of the bride Christian Saca and ring bearer Kenan Gibson. They are thankful for their parents, Napoleon and Silvia Saca and Jon and Vicki Drexler, and all the friends and family members who traveled from Costa Rica, El Salvador and all over the country to join them in their celebration.

SALAMA & FRAZER

A

BY NICHOL AS MOT TA PHOTOGRAPHY BY KRYSTAL KAST PHOTOGRAPHERS; KRYSTALKASTPHOTOGRAPHY.COM

As a photographer, Heba Salama has been to her fair share of weddings and then some. When it came time to plan her own, she had a vision for making the Rock Quarry Farm celebration on October 29, 2017, intimate and unique.

She and her groom, Greg Frazer, wrote the outdoor ceremony together while Chapel Hill High alumnae Carolina Lowe, Kelly Jernigan, Laura Noah, Lauren Hunt, Megan Crunkleton and the bride’s brother and East Chapel Hill High alumnus, Hisham Salama, all participated. Heba’s daughter, 4-year-old Blum Brantley, served as flower girl. As Big Fat Gap performed “My Girl” during the cocktail hour on the grounds, the couple shared a first dance with Blum.

At the reception inside the barn, 140 guests sat at long farmhouse tables facing inward. As everyone enjoyed a three-course, family-style meal along with wine pairings, friends and relatives passed the mic to tell stories of Heba and Greg’s relationship and share memories. They ranged from tear-inducing, heartfelt tributes and lighthearted ribbings to a 1980s musical number, complete with ukulele accompaniment of Starship’s “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now.” After dinner, the dancing began.

The couple resides in Chapel Hill, where Heba, a Chapel Hill High and NC State alumna, owns and operates Heba Salama Photography and Greg, an Ontario native, is a senior principal transformation consultant for CA Technologies. They met on eHarmony in the fall of 2015 and had their first date at Glasshalfull. CHM 112
