appy New Year! Once again it’s time for one of our very favorite issues of the year, the Pet Issue! The time from November until I put this to press is spectacular. Imagine waking up each morning, checking your email, and finding photos of pups, kitties and all sorts of other critters. It’s the best way to start the day, and I thank each and every one of you who sent in a photo. The response was once again amazing and your phots are terrific. It goes without saying your critters are the best boys and girls, of course.

Right now paper shredding is his specialty, but he also reminds us that getting out for a little walk is important for our physical and mental health.

Business Feature Purrfect Paws Pet Spa
The Place For Pampering Your Furry Children STORY BY JANET MORGAN-SWEGLE PHOTOS BY TONY SWEGLE
W
hen you have a pet, you know that very quickly, they become part of your family — and often, they become your “children.” Some people talk to their pets, sleep with them, take pictures of them, and spoil them. But, like your children, you also have to take care of them. That means taking them to the vet regularly and ensuring that they are well groomed.
If you are new to the Leland area or a new pet owner, Kelsi Kruse, owner of Purrfect Paws Pet Spa, and her grooming team want you to know that they are here to help you. Purrfect Paws, which opened on Oct. 30, is located at 59 Waterford Business Center Way (behind the Logan building on U.S. 17) While this is Kelsi’s first time owning a spa, she has been around dogs all of her life and she spent several years as a groomer at another spa. “Owning my own spa has always been a dream of mine,” she said.”Growing up, my mom was an AKC registered Pekingese breeder, so I spent many years going along to dog shows and learning about different breeds of dogs as well as being a junior handler in the ring a time or two, so I
have always had a love for animals.” Purrfect Paws is a spacious and open environment. It’s bright, yet there is a calm atmosphere when you enter. Kelsi said, “A spa is somewhere that should be relaxing. We strive to keep our focus on the pet’s well-being and provide an environment where all pets feel safe and pampered while in our care.” She continued, “At Purrfect Paws, we aim for a positive experience for everyone involved, especially the pets. We look forward to building a relationship, not just with the pet, but with the client as well. We are focused on making sure the pet has an enjoyable visit with us.” Judging from the size of dogs that Kelsi and her assistant, Loe, were working with, dog grooming looks like it can be very
physically demanding. Kelsi was working with Emma, a 75-pound Golden Doodle. She said it could take up to two and a half hours to groom her. That includes bathing, shampooing, drying, brushing, trimming, teeth cleaning and nail cutting. Loe was working with Willie, a Bichon/ Poodle mix and had Cara, a 60-pound “Carolina Dog” (American Dingo), was waiting for her turn. Loe indicated that a dog the size of Willie would take about an hour and a half to complete, primarily because he had shorter hair. Kelsi started out as a tech at Pet Smart and went through the Pet Smart training course. She was certified in 2015. “As an apprentice, you start by working on their nails and trimming between the pads of their feet’” she explained. “Then you learn how to do sanitary cuts.” Kelsi and Loe both said that the last step in the learning process is understanding how
www.LelandMag.com /January /January 2024/ 2024/ Leland Magazine 4
certain breeds of dogs have specific haircuts — using a Shih Tzu as an example, Kelsi said, “You have to be careful and ensure when you cut around the face and ears, that you are maintaining the look of the breed.” Kelsi and her team see all kinds of dog breeds but said that the most unusual dog that they have had in for grooming was a Pomeranian, Pit Bull, Poodle mix. Loe added, “I had an English Springer Spaniel and Chow mix recently. It was a really good-looking dog.”

While originally from Boonton Township, New Jersey, Kelsi moved to North Carolina in 2008 to attend UNCG. She moved to Brunswick County in 2011 and currently lives in Southport. She has been grooming in the Waterford area of Leland since 2019 and likes the growth she sees in the Leland area. “Leland is growing, as well as the surrounding areas, and I know there will be a high demand for pet groomers,” she said. “Both of my team members, Julie, who is a grooming apprentice, loves working with animals, and Loe, who has been with me forever, are wonderful to work with. I wouldn’t be able to do what we do here if it wasn’t for the strong team that I have. Next year, I hope to bring on more techs, but sometimes it’s hard to find good help with a strong work ethic in this field, and that’s the type of people I want in my spa.”
ly, but we often refer clients to mobile groomers if their pet get stressed in a brick and mortar environment. “ Kelsi also plans to expand her product line to include a de-tangler package, a de-shedding package and a lavender essential oils package. Grooming charges are going to vary depending on the size of the animal, the services you request and the condition of the animal’s coat. Services start at $60. Let’s face it, we all love a good spa day, and our pets get stressed too, so call Kelsi at 910-399-4624, and set up an appointment for your furry child — that lavender package sounds great!
Kelsi talked about the dog grooming mobile vans that can come to your house and groom your dog. Kelsi said, “Grooming vans are extremely beneficial for pets who do not do well in a large, open environment or do better with one-on-one situations.

HISTORY
Cape Fear Civil War Round Table Meeting STORY CONTRIBUTED
T
he January meeting of the Cape Fear Civil War Round Table features a presentation by Jim Steele about the new Fort Fisher visitors center and other projects at the state’s most visited historic site. The presentation is scheduled for Thursday evening, Jan. 11, at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Midtown Wilmington near Independence Mall. Doors open at 6:30 pm and the meeting begins at 7 pm. Jim Steele has been manager of Fort Fisher State Historic Site for 16 years. He came here from South Carolina, where he was a state park ranger managing the Rivers Bridge battlefield. Jim is a veteran of the U.S. Navy, and earned both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of South Carolina. Jim’s presentation will address the new Fort Fisher visitor center and other improvements, and the journey it took to get from the idea phase of this project to the construction phase. A new interpretive center is coming to Fort Fisher State Historic Site in Kure Beach. Nearly three times larger than its 1965 predecessor, the new center will welcome more than a million annual visitors and showcase museum exhibits about the history of Fort Fisher. In addition, the Underwater Archaeology Branch of the Office of State Archaeology will have a new conservation lab. These projects were in the planning stage for many years but it took a long time for full funding to be secured for both projects. The Friends of Fort Fisher, Inc., the historic site’s official support group, has been instrumental in the planning and in obtaining funding. The project budget is approximately $25.5 million, most of which has been appropriated over several budget years. Work began in late 2022. Plans are also in place to reconstruct a portion of Fort Fisher’s earthen ramparts that were demolished during World War II for the construction of an airstrip. Much of the gigantic fort that guarded the “new inlet” entrance the Cape Fear River has been eroded by the ocean. It was an L-shaped fort with about one
mile of fortifications on the sea face and one-third of a mile on the land face. Known as the “Gibraltar of the South,” it was the key to maintaining access to the port of Wilmington for the blockade runners that provided critical supplies for the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia. “A new interpretive center and restored earthworks will be welcome additions to Fort Fisher” Jim said. “The exhibits will cover Fort Fisher history in a broad, all-inclusive manner and feature something for every visitor. Visitation at Fort Fisher now exceeds one million visitors a year, and it is time for facilities that can accommodate such crowds and for historical interpretation that sets new standards in museum exhibits and scholarship.” Located at 1610 Fort Fisher Blvd S, in Kure Beach, Fort Fisher is part of the Division of State Historic Sites in the N.C. Department of Natural and Cultural Resources (NCDNCR), the state agency with a vision to be the leader in using the state’s natural and cultural resources to build the social, cultural, educational, and economic future of North Carolina. “In 2021, we finally exceeded one million visitors,” Jim said. That number clearly wasn’t in mind when the site’s visitor center was designed more than a half-century ago. The center, which been sitting since 1965 at the entrance to the historic site at the southern end of Pleasure Island in New Hanover County, was designed for 25,000 visitors a year. The project includes a new center, three times larger than the current building, to house updated exhibits in an
open, airy indoor space that will offer views of the natural, picturesque landscape strategically located near the mouth of the Cape Fear River at the Atlantic Ocean. There will be a 120-person capacity multipurpose room available to rent, a gift shop overlooking the fort’s earthworks, a second-story balcony, a theater for 100 people, and a changeable exhibit gallery of artifacts from the North Carolina Underwater Archeology Center. The underwater archeology center, or UAC, is housed at Fort Fisher in a series of buildings, some built during World War II. A new lab is also under construction several yards from the visitor center. The lab is not open to the public. The project also includes reconstruction of a series of Civil War-era mounds on the land face. To clear the site for a runway, the Army bulldozed three of the mounds after activating Fort Fisher as a training base during World War II. A fourth mound was taken out during
construction of U.S. 421, which ends at the N.C. Department of Transportation’s Fort Fisher ferry terminal. The idea is to tell a complete and inclusive history of Fort Fisher, one where reconstructed underground bunkers will give visitors a real sense life in a Confederate fort, one built of mostly earth and sand by soldiers and more than 500 free and enslaved African Americans. Construction of the visitor center is expected to be complete in mid to late May 2024. Once the building is open to the public, the current center will be torn down. As usual, the meeting will be held in Elebash Hall at the rear of St. John’s Episcopal at 1219 Forest Hills Drive in Wilmington. The church parking lot and entrance to the meeting room is easily accessed via Park Avenue off of Independence Boulevard.

Tricia Messenger
my students all of my tips and tricks about clay, hand-building, and wheelthrown pottery, regardless of whether it’s functional, decorative, or sculptural. It’s vitally important that students learn the proper foundational skills and techniques to teach them how to manipulate clay to help facilitate their learning process and bring their vision into reality.
Holden Beach Ceramics Artist & Teacher STORY BY CARLA EDSTROM
W
ith the enrollment at the Southport Center of Brunswick Community College increasing, there has been a need for new instructors. The Pottery Department, of which I am an instructor, has recently hired a couple of contemporary but experienced artists/ instructors to help fill the need. Pottery work has gone viral in the area, and the need for working studios is real. Many experienced potters take the classes at BCC to work on their own craft and learn new techniques. One of these instructors is Tricia Messenger. She is a talented artist who can both hand-build sculptures and use the pottery wheel to produce production pottery. With extensive experience as an apprentice, she understands the ins and outs of running a clay studio. And
with all her other art education, Messenger is a well-rounded artist. Messenger took night classes with Kimberly Caroon years ago, so the idea of teaching at BCC intrigued her. “I just finished my first semester of teaching at BCC, and I adore my students and their unique talents and
skills,” she said. “They have been pivotal by positively challenging me to expand my vision with clay and inspired me to delve even deeper into learning more about ceramics. I really enjoy teaching
“Historically, ceramics has been a community craft, from processing clay to firing kilns. That positive and supportive spirit is the connection I have made with my students in the BCC pottery studio. I’m excited that all of my students are returning for the spring semester and that I will be welcoming new members into my classroom community as well,” Messenger said. A chance encounter with a pottery wheel in high school sent Messen-

ger on a lifelong path of pursuing art and making pottery. “I got started in ceramics out of necessity. I was a high school senior (1993) who needed one more art class for graduation. I did not enjoy hand-building at the time when my teacher suggested trying the potter’s wheel. Within the first few seconds of sitting behind the potter’s wheel with the clay flying far and wide, I knew that THAT was what I would do for the rest of my life,” she said. “Clay is a humbling material; she will teach you how to do everything wrong before you learn how to do it right. It’s essential to make mistakes as a part of the learning process, and it takes a lot of time, dedication, and experience to really grasp the language of clay, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have a lot of fun and a few disasters for good measure, along the way.” Originally from Connecticut, Messenger now lives in Supply. “I have also lived in several other locations, including the Netherlands (as an exchange student) and Santa Fe, New Mexico,” said Messenger. “I have lived in the Supply area in North Carolina for six years. What brought me to the area was that I
was in a place in my life where I needed a fresh start, and my mother needed me to help her care for my stepfather, who had developed dementia. They lived in Holden Beach.” Sadly, Messenger’s mother suddenly passed away six months after she moved to the area. And her stepdad passed away in 2020. “I managed the care and the household for my stepfather and our 4 dogs while grieving and attending Brunswick Community College for my Associate in Applied Science in Health Information Technology.” Although proficient in many art forms, her preferred media is pottery and paper. “I work in various 2D and 3D media, including paper, clay, wood, metal, textiles, pencil, ink, paint, digital photography, and digital illustration. My process of creating usually starts with sketching designs and my morning coffee. Or when I notice intriguing elements like color, line, pattern, and texture, whether in nature or something manmade,” said Messenger. “I have been making pottery for 30 years and working with handmade paper for the last seven years. Making art has always been my creative
non-objective and inspired by my fascination with the natural world’s ordered chaos, textures, and sculptural beauty,” she said. “The emotional connection I hope to share with the viewer through my art is my feelings of comfort and safety from childhood and the wonderment of discovery when you see something new for the first time.”
outlet for expressing my pain and joy, and it is a cathartic and meditative process for me. I enjoy the challenge of experimenting with materials through new and inventive methods to increase my tactile comprehension and knowledge. These discoveries expand my vision of new forms of creative expression and help me find my voice through media to create art that speaks from my soul,” she said. “My work and the variety of media I use embody the diary of my life experiences. Common themes and inspiration for my work are rooted in the foundations of my childhood, growing up in the 1980s and playing in the forests of New England. Sometimes, my work is colorful, carefree, and fun, like my 2D illustrations, which employ bright colors in flat, stylized drawings that are influenced by popular American teen culture from that period. In contrast, my 3D ceramic and paper sculptures are
Messenger often collaborates with her husband on art projects. “My husband, Lemuel Heida, is also an artist and the new printmaking instructor at Southport Center. Occasionally, we collaborate on making functional paper lanterns and non-objective sculptural paper art. We are currently exploring methods combining black and white photography, ceramics, and handmade abaca paper.”

Her work will be displayed in an art show in April 2024 at the Wilma W Daniels Gallery at CFCC, then “Illumination” at Cameron Art Museum in December 2024.

A Dental Health Story
session. It’s all thanks to the enchanting work of the dental wizards, whose tireless efforts guarantee your pets’ lives are brimming with delight and devoid of dental distress.
Considering Teeth: A Tail of Two Crowns
The Grand Finale: A Tribute to Magical Guardians
STORY BY DR ALI TRAVIS, RIVER ROAD ANIMAL HOSPITAL
I
have grown tired of boring all of you with my nerdy discussions about the whys and importance of care for dogs and cats. I am no Chaucer – I cannot charm you with my sanguine verse. So I will try instead to tell you a “tail” of heroes battling furtive evils ….
Pearly Whites and Wagging Tails: Why Your Pet’s Teeth Deserve the Royal Treatment
Ah, the joy of furry companionship — those wet noses, wagging tails, and...funky breath? Yes, your cuddly creatures may not always have the freshest breath, but fear not, because behind those adorable whiskers lies a dental story begging to be told. Welcome to the court of your dog, Sir Slobbers-alot, and your majestic feline, Queen Whiskerina, where dental fears meet the daunting cost! But fear not, for behind the curtains lies a magical tale of the dental wizards and the invaluable worth of their wizardry.
Combating the Dreaded Dragon Breath
Let’s talk about their breath, which sometimes smells like a mix of old socks and fish markets. It’s not their fault. It’s just the result of bacterial revelry in their mouths. Regular brushing, dental treats, and vet check-ups can turn their breath from “eau de rubbish” to “minty fresh,” sparing you from those nose-pinching moments. But, woe! Sometimes it is not enough and something more must be employed.
The Dental Wizards: Masters of Enchantment
Enter the dental team, the unsung heroes of the furry kingdom! They don their capes
and wield their tools like wands, turning dental fears into mere shadows. These wizards ensure a safe, comfortable, and painfree experience for Sir Slobbers-alot and Queen Whiskerina, all while preserving their regal smiles.
Anesthesia’s Slumber: A Guardian’s Charm
Anesthesia may seem like a mysterious slumber, but it’s a carefully crafted charm cast by these wizards. Without it, our royals might face uncertain risk. But it ensures Sir Slobbers-alot and Queen Whiskerina journey to dreamland, where their dental woes are banished, and their oral health is restored without discomfort or distress. We all know the mere thought of anesthesia might send shivers down a pet owner’s spine, but the alternative — a diseased mouth wreaking havoc on their majesty’s health — is far scarier! Imagine Sir Slobbers-alot trying to play fetch while battling toothaches or Queen Whiskerina attempting her daily grooming routine with painful gum disease. Not the royal life they deserve, right?
it’s a noble investment. The dental wizards’ efforts secure the enduring health and happiness of your furry monarchs, making the expense a mere trinket in the grand story of their well-being. Imagine Sir Slobbers-alot chasing after balls with unrestrained joy or Queen Whiskerina basking in a pain-free grooming
Dear owners, amidst the fears and hesitations, let us pay homage to the true heroes — the dental wizards. They are the guardians of your pets’ smiles, the magicians who ensure safety, comfort, and enduring happiness. Their dedication transforms professional dental care into a fairytale, where Sir Slobbers-alot and Queen Whiskerina reign, pain-free and joyous. When fears and cost weigh heavy on your mind, remember the magical prowess of the dental wizards.

History
Confederate Gunpowder Brunswick Civil War Round Table Meeting STORY CONTRIBUTED
G
unpowder was a crucial component of the Confederate war effort. Without a reliable supply, the Confederacy would not have been able to sustain its military operations. Guest speaker Ted Savas will address this topic as he presents “Civil War Uninterrupted: Jefferson Davis, George Washington Rains, and the Confederate Gunpowder Strategy” at the Brunswick Civil War Round Table’s first monthly meeting of the new year on Tuesday, Jan. 2 at Hatch Auditorium on Caswell Beach. Everyone is welcome, and the visitor fee $10 can be applied toward the $25 annual membership dues. Registration begins at 6:15 pm and the program starts at 7 pm. gears and machinery of the publishing The Civil War was a brutal conflict that tested the limits of both sides’ resources and resolve. Gunpowder was a vital element. For the Confederacy, at the helm of securing this crucial resource stood two figures: President Jefferson Davis and Colonel George Washington Rains. President Davis, recognizing the importance of self-sufficiency, tasked Colonel Rains with establishing a reliable gunpowder supply. This was no small feat, as the South lacked the industrial infrastructure of the North. Colonel Rains, a graduate of West Point with experience
in engineering, chemistry, and mineralogy, was uniquely qualified for this mission. He meticulously searched for a suitable location, eventually settling on Augusta, Georgia. Under Rains’s leadership, the Confederate States Powder Works was built, including numerous buildings, mills, refineries, and storage facilities. And once up and running, it utilized innovative methods to produce gunpowder efficiently, even with limited resources. It became a vital lifeline for the Confederate army. Despite facing numerous challenges, including Union blockades and internal struggles, this production allowed the Confederate armies to continue fighting despite facing overwhelming odds. This monumental effort, despite adversity, demonstrated the power of human ingenuity and resourcefulness during times of great struggle. Ted Savas was an attorney for many years, an adjunct college instructor, an entrepreneur, award-winning author, and an award-winning publisher. He started a publishing company, co-founded the quarterly journal Civil War Regiments, and co-founded The South Bay Civil War Roundtable. In addition, he is a regular guest on podcasts, online forum presentations, in-person lectures, and offers an occasional online series of classes to help aspiring and veteran authors get on track, stay on track, and negotiate the

world. Ted was also part of author Clive Cussler’s expedition in 1994-1995 that found the Confederate submarine CSS Hunley off Charleston, South Carolina. He is also an accomplished musician, trained in classical piano, and played keyboard and bass in several Midwest rock bands! For more information about the Tues-
