The arts bring a sense of renewal

I

Lake Norman Currents | September 2013

love school supplies. I love notebooks, pens, backpacks and crayons. I love markers and highlighters. I get especially excited about daily planners. (Yes, I still use a paper calendar. And yes, I know my iPhone can keep my schedule for me, but I also know I can’t doodle on an iPhone calendar, so just let it go.)

The point is that the beginning of the school year is exciting because it’s filled with potential. Composition books are blank, pencils are sharpened — anything is possible.

The other day I saw a picture of students lined up at the Old Well in Chapel Hill to take a sip from the fountain before the semester started. According to a superstitious tradition, if you do that before classes begin, you’ll get a 4.0. It never worked for me, but hopefully things will go better for the students in the picture.

Even though I’m no longer a student, fall inspires me to wipe the slate clean and start over with a fresh perspective. I’m not sure if it’s the cooler air, the shorter days or the tightened schedule, but whatever the reason, I feel compelled to make lists and actually check things off of those lists once they’re accomplished.

A big item on this fall’s list is supporting our local arts scene more. I’ve been on a bit of a sabbatical since having twins, and in the past three years that I’ve been watching Sesame Street, Lake Norman’s arts scene has grown tremendously.

As I compiled the fall performing arts preview on page 22, I made mental notes of all the sitter-worthy performances I wanted to attend. Turns out there are a lot of them. After typing in an entry, I would turn to my calendar to see if I was free to go to that particular concert or show. Looks like our sitter is going 8

a fresh start

The magazine by and for the people who call Lake Norman home

to have a pretty lucrative fall.

We’re fortunate to live in an area with so many talented people who are willing to share those talents (many times for free). On page 69, I wrote a piece about a concert that Jacquelyn Culpepper and Dan Boye plan to perform on September 7 at Davidson College.

It’s entitled Do You Love Me?, and the sole purpose of the performance is to raise funds for voice lesson scholarships for all Davidson College students, not just music majors.

Both of them emphasized to me how important this cause was to them because they know how powerful the arts can be both as a participant and as an audience member. I’m lucky because I’ve experienced both sides. As an actor and a singer, I know how exhilarating it is to become a character and nail a high C. Last spring when I went to Davidson Community Players’ production of Wit, I had to leave immediately after the curtain call, so I could have a good cry in my car — alone.

While that might sound sad, it’s really not because that’s the beauty of art. A local theatre director once told me, “it’s important to remember so we can move beyond.” She’s right. Whether it’s a painting that reminds you of a childhood dream, a song that harkens back to your wedding day or a drama that crystallizes the cruelty of cancer, art moves us in all sorts of directions more than anything else can.

So as you plan out your fall, pencil in some local performances between the church barbecues, festivals and hayrides. I promise that you’ll leave renewed and ready to take on anything.

Happy fall!

Decoys by Design Huntersville’s Jerry Gardner creates one-of-kind wood carvings 10

The features and poses found on Jerry Gardner’s carvings are so intricate and lifelike; it takes a moment to realize you’re actually staring at a bird carved solely from wood. It’s this attention to detail that has helped Gardner, who works as a real estate agent by day, build a successful side business selling his hand-carved creations for the past 30 years.

“I’ve always really enjoyed art,” says Gardner, who creates most of his work in a woodshop on his property in downtown Huntersville.

“Woodcarving was a natural progression from painting and drawing.”

Mostly self-taught, Gardner has taken classes in sculpting and wood identification over the years to sharpen his skills. He’s also studied the anatomy of the various birds he carves. For many of his carvings, he orders different types of wood from all over the country and even sources antlers from Palmer, Alaska.

“I’m very broad based,” he says. “Primarily I work in wood but also bone and antler. I do realistic carvings . . . Everything from human busts, human anatomy, birds, ducks and birds of prey.”

Gardener estimates that depending on what projects are in the works, he spends an average of 10 to 12 hours per week carving. But if he has a commissioned decoy piece that he needs to finish by a certain time, his hours will increase to accommodate that schedule. Some of his more intricate carvings require 200-plus hours of work.

“It’s very relaxing to me,” says Gardner, who controls the pace of his work by only taking on commissioned pieces and not selling them through any retail channels. “To me it is just a lot of personal satisfaction being able to create something.”

One thing that will surprise people about you…

Being a business owner, of course I have a lot of people (prospective clients) call me, never having met me. Usually, we arrange a meeting and then I show up, in my wheelchair.

I’m never sure whether to give people a heads up or just show up. When I just show up, there’s always that few seconds of them absorbing it. It’s not a big deal, but it’s not the norm, so I realize it’s nothing personal. I usually crack a joke about it, give them a big grin, and then we move on to business. Life rolls on, whether you’re walking or on wheels.

For people that already know me...I think many would be surprised that I was almost in the United States Army. The week before the accident that left me in a chair, I’d gone to the recruitment office and begun the process of enlisting.

Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

Roasted Red Pepper Hummus Ingredients 1 can chickpeas/garbanzo beans (15 ounces), rinsed and drained 2 tablespoons tahini (toasted sesame seed paste, found near peanut butter) Juice of one lemon 1/4 cup chicken broth Olive oil (1/4-1/2 cup) 1 garlic clove, crushed (use only if desired, as it will be raw) 2-3 roasted red peppers from jar, drained and patted dry Instructions In a food processor or blender, combine garbanzo beans, tahini, lemon juice and chicken broth. While running on low blend, drizzle olive oil into mixture slowly — you want the mixture thick at this point. Add the red peppers and blend, add more olive oil if necessary to make a smooth consistency. Add garlic if desired. Serve with pretzel sticks, Triscuits or fresh veggies. Bon Appetit!

Lake Norman Currents | September 2013

How did you become involved with social media?

I worked part time for a small vacation rental company and realized they needed to jump on the social media bandwagon, so I took it upon myself to get it going. People kept asking the company who was behind their Facebook page...then a local politician asked for my help with his campaign, and suggested I do it full time... so I launched Chastain Media.

It’s a perfect storm scenario since I’m a “tortured” writer and artist, my husband does website creation and coding, and our 22-year-old son has a degree in Digital Arts & Graphic Design. We’re the full package.

my mom were divorcing. The way everyone cried when reading it, Michele Chastain I realized I had found a somewhat powerful way to express myself. I’ve always loved creating with words and with beautiful color/art...so developing creative content, for me, is like playing. You can read a beautiful quote and be moved by it, but put those words over a thought-provoking photograph and you’ll stir even more emotions. I think I mostly just like making people happy, and this is a good outlet for doing so.

Christmas in September, plus some major moves

Lake Norman Currents | September 2013

You might not hear Silver Bells on the radio yet, but you can bet that the holidays are in full swing at Christmas in the Village.

Cornelius resident Chris Boutin opened the year-round Christmas store in August at Birkdale Village. Boutin’s family has 15 years of experience in year-round Christmas stores in the Atlanta area.

“Opening a store has been a dream of mine since working in their stores growing up,” explains Boutin.

The store carries Christmas decorations from Christopher Radko, Department 56, Fontanini and Willow Tree, as well as Jim Shore Santas. “Right now we have 13 themed trees in the store,” says Boutin. “We carry all kinds of specialty ornaments, and that’s going to continue to grow.”

On September 21, Santa Claus is scheduled to make an appearance at the store.

Bring your cameras so you can take a picture of your child with Santa before the holiday rush. Christmas in the Village, Birkdale Village, Huntersville, 704.892.7307.

Peek A Boo Couture has moved to a new location in Cornelius. Now located 12

in Peninsula Village on Jetton Road, the children and teen’s clothier has picked up 20 new designers. Think The Bailey Boys, Greggy Girl, Mud Pie, Oopsy Daisy, Peaches ‘n Cream and Tralala, plus pageant dresses.

And of course, the boutique still carries its famous $9.99 tutus.

“This is such a great location for us,” says owner Candace Khashman. “We’re excited.”

Peek A Boo Couture, Peninsula Village, 19420 Jetton Road, Suite 104, Cornelius, www.peekaboocouture.org.

Uniquities has opened its doors at

Birkdale Village. Uniquities made its debut in the Triangle area in 1992, as it has locations in Chapel Hill and Raleigh. The Huntersville location is the first one that owner Julie Jennings has opened outside of that area.

The store’s space has a clean, minimalist feel with bright white walls and chocolatebrown hardwoods. The ladies boutique carries denim designers such as AG, Citizens of Humanity and Paige, plus tops from Joie and Parker. Also look for handbags from Amanda Uprichard, Foley & Corinna, and Rebecca Minkoff. Uniquities, Birkdale Village, Huntersville, www.uniquities.com.

Bebe Gallini’s has moved into a new space at The Shops at Oak Street Mill in Cornelius.

The new space opened in August and offers an elegantly intimate environment for all of the treasures the store is known for carrying.

“Everyone who comes in here says that it’s more intimate and cozy than our former space,” says Carole May, who co-owns Bebe Gallini’s with Beth Phillips.

The new space also features The Art Nook, where you can sit on a bench and read the store’s famous word art collection. “We want people to come in here and look at the art and think about life,” says May.

Street Mill features The Art Nook (see below).

Ain’t Too Shabby has moved from The Shops at Oak Street Mill in Cornelius to a larger space on Statesville Road. “We have almost 5,000 square feet,” says owner Kathy Montbleau. The store specializes in antiques, vintage furniture and furniture painting (in particular chalk painting). “We teach chalk painting classes and do custom paint jobs,” explains Montbleau.

The Divine Design Consignment department at Ain’t Too Shabby donates 10 percent of its proceeds to women in ministry.

The space also features The Village Gourmet, where you can purchase all kinds of yummy treats. Montbleau plans to eventually open a tea and coffee shop in the space. Ain’t Too Shabby, 18700 Statesville Road, Cornelius, www.360charlotte/shopping/ Ain’tTooShabby.html.

Presenting Pop Up Cinema Indies + Docs brings art house films to Lake Norman Viewing independent and documentary films in Lake Norman just got a little easier. Davidson resident Robert Maier and the Cornelius Arts Center have teamed up to launch a film series called Indies + Docs. Using an innovative concept called Pop Up Cinema, film screenings spontaneously pop up at any time.

Here’s how it works. Filmgoers sign up for updates online to notify them via email of scheduled upcoming films. Maier says the pop up concept appeals to young audiences and the social mediadriven society.

“We don’t have a set schedule, but when new films are released and

getting interesting reviews and press, but won’t play in Charlotte, we try to pick them up and set a date with the distributor,” explains Maier, who’s worked in the film industry for 30 years.

Following each screening, the audience participates in an informal discussion and social time.

he academic hallways and athletic fields are not the only bustling areas of the Davidson College campus this fall. The William H. Van Every and Edward M. Smith Galleries at Davidson College also have a full slate of exhibitions and lectures on tap.

We recently chatted with Lia Newman about her new role as director/curator of the Van Every/ Smith Galleries. A graduate of Winthrop and Duke Universities, Newman came to Davidson from Artspace, Inc. in Raleigh, where she worked as director of programs and exhibitions.

What’s coming up for the galleries at Davidson College this year?

Lake Norman Currents | September 2013

Packing an Artistic Punch

Lia Newman makes certain that Davidson College embraces fine art 18

We opened at the end of August with a residency and exhibition by Pamela Phatsimo Sunstrum called ab initio. The artist was born in Botswana, Africa and currently lives in South Africa, and she works in wall drawings and projected animation. You can come in and see her installation evolve as she’s here working directly on the Van Every Gallery walls through September 11.

We also have Scott Hazard, an artist from Raleigh, in the Smith Gallery through October 11. Cultivations features works combining text and paper. He’s a landscape artist, and a lot of his work is abstract.

On October 24, we open Parodic Machines. This exhibition features the works of five artists — Nick Bontrager, David Bowen, Matt Kenyon, Hye Yeon Nam and Fernando Orellana — in the area of robotics. Several schools will bring students to the gallery to meet with the artists. And Paula Gaetano Adi’s Desiring Machine will include www.LNCurrents.com

performances at various times during the exhibition. We’re excited about this emerging field combining science and technology for the purpose of art.

What should the Lake Norman community know about The Van Every/Smith galleries at Davidson College?

What does your job entail, and how do you select exhibitions?

The galleries, lectures and exhibitions are all free and open to the public. Galleries are open 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Friday and noon–4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

Not many people realize that we have a permanent collection with well-known

Part of my job is overseeing the Davidson College permanent collection and displaying it throughout the campus.

We have 3,200 pieces in the collection that rotate out of storage.

In terms of exhibitions, I’m working with artists and galleries. In this setting of a liberal arts college, we view the art galleries as a teaching tool for the department of art and the wider campus.

We think about how an exhibition can support certain curricula areas.

works by artists like Rembrandt, Picasso and Warhol. Many works have kindly come as gifts from Davidson graduates.

From www.davidsoncollegeartgalleries. org, you can sign up for our e-newsletter about upcoming events. We also have a campus sculpture map with a walking tour of outdoor sculpture around campus.

Maps can be downloaded and printed from our web site or picked up in the art galleries. LNC

What do you enjoy the most about your job?

So far I’ve found that Davidson is very supportive of the arts. I enjoy the opportunity to work with students and colleagues, and to be able to collaborate across different disciplines is really exciting. Curating can be very creative. I enjoy working with artists on problem solving and developing interesting concepts, and researching and finding artists.

Richardson Plaza became a sculpture garden, and that became the foundation for the sculpture program. The idea is to incorporate art into our daily environment. The works change the landscape of the campus and hopefully change people’s thoughts, too. We’ve added three pieces in the last 1 1/2 years, and we’re hoping to add more, maybe a piece a year to campus. We’re currently installing our newest piece by Jesús Moroles, and it will be dedicated on October 29.

Live on Purpose |

by Rosie Molinary

focus your fall forward to or work on this fall. It is also great for your kids to see that, even in adulthood, you set goals and get excited about things. It powerfully models to them that life is a journey and that we should always be trying to grow.

Many of us are wonders at getting things done and what we really most need in our lives are some fun challenges or adventures. Now that you have written down some to dos, shift your energy to some fun experiences. Is this the year that you finally camp out as a family?

Do you want to really decorate for Halloween or have a family theme for costumes? Put some fun and growing experiences on your list.

Extra Credit: Having a hard time coming up with experience ideas?

Scour Pinterest, ask friends or check out the workout classes at your local gym for some fun new challenges.

Make a To Do List

Nail down the details

You have likely talked to your kids about what they are going to be doing this year — how they want their classes to turn out and what activities they might try. Now, it is time for you to do that for yourself. What would you like to have done by the end of this year? Maybe there is a closet whose clutter has been driving your crazy or a professional project that you have been working up the nerve to take on. Claim your fall musts by recording them.

Extra Credit: Don’t be afraid to get the whole family involved. Is there a whole family project you’d love to take on — making a family yearbook of photos and quotes or holding a big yard sale? Put something for all of you on that list, too.

The ideas aren’t usually the challenge; it’s the follow-through, so take some time with your list and calendar to figure out what you can really logistically make happen. If something feels like it is hard to make happen, that might be an indicator that you don’t really want to make it happen, which is perfectly okay.

Schedule items on your calendar and then break the parts of making it happen down for your to do list.

Extra Credit: Make sure your family knows what is coming.

Whether it is a quick at-a-glance wall calendar with everyone’s schedules displayed or an online version like Cozi, keep everyone up to date on the details and their roles.

Enjoy your fall. LNC

Tap into the excitement of the season and plan

T

he back to school routine is starting to flow, you are drying off from the wettest summer you can remember, and you are already anticipating the cooler mornings and nights that September and October promise us. If the drier days, cooler nights, and a little routine for the whole family isn’t enough to already make you so excited about fall, sitting down to make some plans will let you reap the benefits of that back to school energy. Here is a fivestep plan for putting some focus and fun in your fall.

Go Old School

Lake Norman Currents | September 2013

Remember that feeling of promise that fresh school supplies, a new school year and a few new back to school clothing items provided? Well, you can harness that feeling even now (and without a big shopping spree).

By sitting down and setting some goals, you give yourself that same back to school excitement that you remember from years ago and even see in your kids right now.

Extra Credit: It is not just good for you to have something to look

His plays are preoccupied with the extremes of human brutality and sexual behavior. Williams himself often commented on the violence in his own work, which to him seemed part of humanity. Williams is a haunting, lyrical, and powerful voice and one of the most important forces in 20th century American drama.

Cynthia Scully turned the devastation of her husband’s death into a way to help others

Community support The Scullys’ love was real, and their family www.LNCurrents.com

Cynthia Scully's late husband, Fred, signed 22 greeting cards for their daughter Carrington to open on each birthday.

He also left cards for her high school and college graduations, her wedding day and the birth of her first child.

dreams were coming true. But just as those dreams took off, life took a sudden, dark turn.

Fred was a nonsmoker, yet he was diagnosed with lung cancer.

“I couldn’t get my head around it,” remembers Cynthia. “I frequently asked why.” The family didn’t have deep roots in Davidson, yet, Cynthia says the instant support they received from the community blew her mind. “I’ve never seen a community react like this,” she recalls. “People just jumped in to help without being asked. They brought us meals, did our laundry, put up our Christmas decorations and cut our lawn.”

During his illness, Fred was planning for the future and thinking of ways to thank those friends. “Instead of sitting around and cursing the world, he was thinking of how he could get better, so he could try to think of ways to

help others,” says Cynthia. But then on May 19, 2012, at age 29, Fred died, and the Scully family was devastated.

It’s the amazing surprises that Fred left behind that will forever be remembered. He wanted to write letters to his daughter as his “life advice” from dad. In the weeks leading up to his death, he signed 22 greeting cards for Carrington to open on each birthday. He also left cards for her high school and college graduations, her wedding day and the birth of her first child.

“This will be an incredible gift for her, and I can only imagine how special this will be,” says Cynthia. Fred also planned incredible things for his wife so she would always know he’s there. Before Fred was diagnosed, he made a habit of buying flowers for Cynthia once a month from the Davidson Farmer’s Market.

f you’ve ever been in love, then you might begin to understand the relationship between Fred and Cynthia Scully. They met each other while they were in college at Wake Forest.

“We fell in love young and got married young,” says Cynthia as she looks back on their early 20s.

“We grew together. We were best friends.”

The two moved to the Charlotte area as Fred jumped on the corporate ladder to work for Bank of America. They had their first child, Carrington, and life seemed perfect as they moved to Davidson where they had planned to settle down. “When Carrington was born, our world revolved around the three of us,” says Cynthia. “That’s all we needed and didn’t think much about anything.”

He still is. Fred left her a gift certificate for her to buy those same flowers every month.

He even made sure she remembers to go get them by putting a reminder on her iPad calendar.

“I almost fell over when I saw this,” says Cynthia. “It was so him. The thoughtfulness of it continues to amaze me.”

A special day Now Fred’s giving has reached a powerful level that’s helping friends, neighbors and even strangers. Each year on his birthday in June, Cynthia honors her late husband with a "Pay if Forward for Fred Day." The first year, she and a small group of friends performed random acts of kindness around the Lake Norman community.

This year, it grew even more, and the community was much more involved. People donated blood, registered as bone marrow donors. They bought dinner for strangers in restaurants. One group helped raise money and donated gift cards to the family of a 4-year-old boy in Davidson with stage

four cancer. The effort even grew across the country this year with the help of Facebook.

“We had people who heard about ‘Fred’s Day’ and decided to treat Hospice employees in Colorado to breakfast; workers at cancer centers in Texas and Virginia came outside to gift cards on their car windows,” says Cynthia. All in the name of Fred. “I don’t think I have words strong enough to describe it. It’s easy to lose faith in humanity, and then you see something like this,” she adds.

“It’s just stunning to see how many people who are willing to do something so kind for someone else.”

While the “Pay it Forward for Fred Day” has been about helping others, it’s also been a way for Cynthia to cope with losing her best friend and husband. “At first, a lot of people were hesitant to talk about him, and that was really hard for me because that’s all I wanted to talk about,” recalls Cynthia. “It’s really been a gift for me because it gives me a chance to talk about him and speak his name out into the world. That helps me because he’s still leaving a legacy.” LNC

he creative vision for Verde Urban Mexican Kitchen & Cantina in Huntersville gives vivid life to the saying “the sum of the whole is greater than its parts.”

Drawing ingredients from its two sibling restaurants — Burrito Loco and The Prickly Pear in Mooresville — Verde has whisked together something vibrant and new. From trendy Burrito Loco, Verde takes the influence of dishes that visitors might find at a tiny taco stand on the urban streets in Mexico. From The Prickly Pear, diners will recognize the influence of its more refined fare.

side,” Chavez explains. Garcia brings extensive experience with South American, Central American and Caribbean food, all of which will influence the menu.

“We want to bring in his specialties,” Chavez says. “It’s got almost a SpanishMexican fusion feel. We’ve always tried to be on the modern side of Mexican, not on the classical side.” The new menu includes dishes with a hint of Asian fusion as well.

The Pesca Fresca, or fresh catch of the day, will be cooked to order at market prices.

Yucatan-style pork and braised pork shank; a grilled skirt steak; and chicken stuffed or stewed with roasted tomatillo cream sauce are just a few of the main courses. Enchiladas Del Mar, with shrimp, crabmeat, bay scallops and rustic lobster tomato sauce, stands out with a SpanishCaribbean flavor.

The bar features items that Lake Norman diners may be hard-pressed to find elsewhere. The margaritas and Latin American cocktails complement those offered at The Prickly Pear. The wines come from Portugal, Argentina, Chile and Spain, in addition to Washington, California and Italy.

“Customers are not used to seeing these kinds of wines or foods,” Chavez says.

“We’re just trying to bring things to the market that aren’t available everywhere.”

Fully half of the bar menu showcases an array of tequilas. The Añejo tequilas are aged in oak casks for a minimum of one year, which results in an amber color and woody flavor; the Plata tequilas take a 60-day resting period, yielding a fruity, spicy flavor; and the Reposado tequilas are aged in wood barrels between two and 12 months, for fruit and floral flavors with nuances of caramel and butterscotch.

“We wanted to bring as many tequilas to the menu as we could,” Chavez says. “We also have tequila flights. We said, ‘Let’s do a little tasting.’ ” The open kitchen concept allows guests to see the action, as the kitchen team prepares diners’ dishes. The lime-green walls, colorful booths and vivid bar give an urban pop to the space. An outdoor patio provides another dining area.

Photos on the walls and other images ghosted on front windows as sun blocks depict an old Mexican cantina and cityscapes from Mexico. “You get that sense you’re in a city,” Chavez says. “It’s casual

fine dining with that essence that we’ve had at Prickly Pear.”

While dining is the focus during early hours, the restaurant will transform to a cantina atmosphere in its later hours on Saturdays from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. “We’ll take the tables out in the main dining room and have Salsa dancing on Saturday nights,” he says.

weight of the wine you’re pairing it with. A heavy food, a beef stew perhaps, needs a heavy wine to match it. It needs a wine with lots of body and lots of deep flavors, something like a Cabernet Sauvignon. At the other end of the spectrum, a light dish like oysters on the half shell needs a lighter wine. Something like a Chablis or a Sauvignon Blanc.

Turning all this around makes it obvious how this balance thing works. Imagine the beef stew paired with Sauvignon Blanc. The food would totally overwhelm the wine. You might as well drink a glass of water. Now imagine the oysters paired with Cabernet Sauvignon. In this case the wine becomes absolutely dominant. You might just as well be dining on chilled putty.

I recall being in a restaurant where one of the diners was flaunting the size of his wallet and ordered expensive oysters and demanded an equally expensive bottle of Premiere Cru Bordeaux. Of course the sommelier delivered the wine, but after pouring, he went over to a corner and hung his head in deep despair.

A grilled steak eaten outside on a warm day pairs wonderfully with deep rosé, maybe a wine from the Tavel region of France.

Making The Best

even better D

Simple rules to help you get started pairing food and wine

Lake Norman Currents | September 2013

rinking wine while dining has been going on for centuries. And there’s a good reason. It’s one of those wonderful occasions where the combined effect of two things is greater than the sum of its parts. Who wouldn’t want that?

But, it can sometimes be a little bit daunting.

You’re in a fine restaurant with friends or business clients, you’ve ordered your food and the sommelier asks you if you have decided upon a wine to go with the meal. What if you make a bad choice? No matter how nice the sommelier, you’re apprehensive. What are your 38

friends or, worse yet, your clients going to think of your choice? Yikes!

It really shouldn’t be a concern, this isn’t rocket science. All you have to do is keep a couple of concepts in mind, and you’ve got the whole thing pretty well nailed. The concepts are harmony and balance — a good theme when it comes to life in general and an excellent way to approach food and wine.

Balance Let’s start with balance. What you want to do is match the weight of the food with the

Forget the "white wine with fish" rule. A grilled fish and a wine such as a Pinot Noir are a great combination.

Harmony Now for the harmony. It’s just like harmony in music; point and counter point. Here we’re dealing with tastes not weights. Once you’ve got the balance right, the next step is to decide whether to complement or contrast the wine and the food. Either way works. Complementing matches the flavor of the food with a similar flavor in the wine. The two enhance and amplify www.LNCurrents.com

each other. An example would be a lobster in a rich, creamy sauce. A great wine to pair this with would be a nice, buttery Chardonnay from Napa Valley — a combination that is almost sinful.

Contrast goes the other way; it’s like the counter point harmony in music. Take that same creamy lobster and pair it with a wine that’s more on the acidic side. Here the texture of the food and the texture of the wine counter balance each other, producing a smooth culinary ride. Complement or contrast, either way you’re in for a tasty treat.

There is one special pairing case, and that is spicy food. Dishes like Thai food or barbecue, no matter what the weight of the food, just don’t like hanging out with a wine that has tannins; a Cabernet Sauvignon, for example. What happens is that the tannins in the wine crank up the heat in the food, making it hotter — in many cases, too hot. And that can ruin the whole meal. The answer, here, is to balance out the spicy heat with a wine that has a smooth, almost oily texture. The two standbys are Gewürztraminer and Riesling.

One great rule of thumb for pairing is to match regional foods with wines from the same region. The world used to be a much larger place where people hardly ever left the region or even the village they were born in. They lived on foods that the local soil and climate could produce.

Same thing with their wine, they were all created locally. Over time winemakers developed wines in a style that was the best complement to the local food. The food and wine of the region literally grew up together.

There’s one winemaker I know who takes this to an extreme. He goes out hunting close to his vineyards, he buys produce from nearby farmers, and then he creates a meal to go with one or more of his wines. My wife and I keep hinting for an invitation.

By far the best way to test out this approach to food and wine is to visit a wine region and spend a day or two dining on local fare.

I can’t think of any dining experience that’s more enjoyable. A Bœuf Bourguignon and a glass of Gevrey Chambertin would be a great combination. You could try that here at home, but I find that wines always taste best when you drink them close to their home. I have

absolutely no data to back this up, but I do have a boatload of anecdotal evidence. In any case, it’s always a joy to be in Burgundy.

So, never be intimidated when a sommelier asks you about wine. After all, he or she is working for you, not the other way around. If you’re really unsure, ask for a recommendation and don’t be shy about giving a price point. Harmony and balance will guide you in the right direction but take advantage of a sommelier’s knowledge of his

With a devastating injury far in his rearview, Michael Annett finds his speed

O

n the heels of a strong 2012 season, NASCAR Nationwide Series driver and Mooresville resident Michael Annett spent his off-season preparing to contend for a championship. It made perfect sense. The 26-year-old Iowa native, who quickly ascended through both the ARCA and Truck Series, finished 2012 with a career best string of top 10s and believed he had found the speed he needed to finish on top.

But racing can be unpredictable. When the driver of the Richard Petty Motorsports No. 43 Ford had a head-on collision with the wall in the season opening race at Daytona (shortly before a wild, multi-car incident sent numerous fans to the hospital), the shooting pain he felt in his back sent a clear message that his quest would have to wait.

Lake Norman Currents | September 2013

40

On Memorial Day weekend, with an admitted bit of anxiety keeping hopes for the race of his life in check, Michael Annett took the long-awaited green flag at the History 300 in Charlotte.

“When I got out of the car after the wreck happened, I thought it was my lower back that had been injured,” Annett explains. “But as I was unzipping my fire suit like I always do, I noticed my zipper got stuck on something that felt like a golf ball. I told the guys in the infield that we needed to hurry up and go [to the infield care center] because that golf ball was right in the middle of my sternum. I knew it was serious.”

Annett had fractured his sternum, and his next 24 hours would be a whirlwind. He was rushed to the emergency room at the nearby Halifax Medical Center then flown to Charlotte where a second opinion at OrthoCarolina confirmed the damage. The next morning he was taken into surgery at CMC Main, where plates and screws were inserted to stabilize the injury.

“I basically went from knowing I could contend to sitting on the couch for three months where I learned how hard it is to lift even 10 pounds while your body heals,” he recalls. “It was horrible.”

Missing even a single race in a top series can be devastating to a driver, so Annett was forced to refocus.

“You want to believe you are invincible, but that isn’t always the case. In the months I watched my car out there without me, well, it was tough. But I’ve got a great group of guys on my team, and they kept reminding me that they’d be there for me when I was ready.

Racing couldn’t

come soon enough,” he says.

Getting back behind the wheel was a challenge for the former hockey player turned professional racer. The rehabilitation experience he gained as a former standout in the United States Hockey League (USHL) for the Waterloo (Iowa) Black Hawks did not cross over to his racing injury. This process was different.

Annett explains, “When you get injured in hockey, there is usually rehab you can do that will get you back sooner but, in this case, things were completely different. It was more about what not to do than what to do.”

As the months passed, Annett rested and made steady progress. Hoping to race a few weeks earlier, he didn’t receive the clearance he had long been awaiting. The fifth year Nationwide driver was forced to wait.

Finally, on Memorial Day weekend, with an admitted bit of anxiety keeping hopes for the race of his life in check, Annett took the long-awaited green flag at the History 300 in Charlotte. He made a statement and finished ninth.

The injury was in his rearview.

Annett is now rebuilding and looking for the speed he knows his team possesses. He plans to finish the season in the fashion he hoped it would start.

“Consistency takes practice, and speed comes with consistency,” he says. “And I think after that first month back, we started to put the pieces back together. When I started in racing, my goal was always to get to the Sprint Cup, and this injury has given me more resolve. I know it will take time, and I’m not rushing it. We are on the way.” LNC

Barre workouts deliver targeted results in fun, upbeat classes burn at

the Barre 42

After graduating in 2008 with a doctorate in physical therapy, Connecticut native, Katie Moscovitch (in red), was looking for a new type of training. She found exactly what she was looking for in a barre class.

ake a simple ballet bar, add some upbeat music, introduce a series of structured isometric movements, focus your energies and let go. Before you know it, you’ll be immersed in one of the most popular new styles of body shaping and fitness training across the country.

It’s called barre, and it’s all about results.

Giving barre a try After graduating in 2008 with a doctorate in physical therapy, Connecticut native, Katie Moscovitch, was looking for a new type of training. She had recently learned about the Pure Barre technique, the form of barre training introduced and popularized by Carrie Rezabek Dorr, and thought she would give it a try. The former spin instructor then wandered in to a Pure Barre class in San Diego.

controlled and focused, and the energy was amazing. It didn’t take long for it to become a lifestyle for me.”

The Pure Barre technique Moscovitch quickly became a Pure Barre ambassador. As a physical therapist now living in North Carolina, she knew this form of training would help her clients whether they had back or knee issues or were simply hoping to tone and shape specific body areas. She also understood that the barre training techniques could apply to people of all ages and abilities.

Opening her own studio was a logical next step.

“I knew from experience that the Pure Barre technique was safe, effective and fun, and I wanted to bring it to the lake,” says Moscovitch, now the owner of Pure Barre Lake Norman.

“We feel like by focusing purely on the Pure Left: Moscovitch opened Pure Barre Lake Norman at Birkdale Village this past summer.

Below: Moscovitch says that barre training techniques can apply to people of all ages and abilities.

www.LNCurrents.com

Barre technique, we can help clients perfect the movements and focus in on the changes they want to happen. And because we are constantly researching and refining the movements, no two classes are ever exactly alike.”

Along with a team of seven instructors, Moscovitch leads more than 40 classes of 27 students each week in her new Birkdale studio.

Her techniques lead to results.

“You can get a great workout without weights,” she explains. “We combine moves taken from yoga and Pilates and add our own brand 43

Lake Norman Currents | September 2013

“About five years ago, when I was looking for a lower-impact form of training, I took my first barre class,” Moscovitch recalls. “It was three months before my wedding and since I already had three knee surgeries, I knew I couldn’t do too much traditional high-impact training. I knew Pure Barre was low impact and relied primarily on body weight, so I thought it might work for me.”

She was hooked before the class ended.

“To say I fell in love with it that first day would be an understatement,” she jokes. “What made it great was that my body wasn’t stressed like it had been in the past. The exercises were

of energy to each class. It’s very strategic how we work each muscle. We take it to failure then stretch it out. The result is the long, lean dancers' muscles. In just under an hour, we take you away from the distractions of the day and help you focus on transforming your body. And it’s however hard you want to make it each day.”

Barre classes are a lifestyle, too.

“From the clothes and the bracelets to the camaraderie, it’s fantastic. We love coming here and don’t feel like we are at a gym,” says Moscovitch. “You make a lot of friends in the classes, and you support each other.”

Ultimately, Moscovitch believes, Pure Barre is about results.

“I have seen it first as a client and now as an instructor,” she says. “The workouts are amazing, and I have seen so many people transform their bodies. It’s just so inspirational to see client after client transform her body.

What begins here carries over into their lives, too. Healthy choices about eating, healthy choices about living, those things all start here when a client gets what we are trying to achieve. The benefits are limitless.” LNC

Kristine Bjornstad, owner of Perfect Form Studio, in Cornelius, believes that variety enhances overall fitness. She is certified in barre instruction.

Find Your Perfect Form Kristine Bjornstad, owner of Perfect Form Studio in Cornelius, says fitness should be fun and not a chore. That’s why the California transplant put her extensive exercise education and training background to use and re-launched her studio on the East Coast.

Her initial plan was to offer Pilates, strength training and wellness sessions in a style that she knew would keep her clients on the path to wellness, but when she began fielding questions about barre workouts, Bjornstad researched styles, gained her certification and began offering classes.

“I have always believed that variety enhances overall fitness, so I encourage my clients to cross train, and barre gives them the opportunity to add variety,” Bjornstad explains. “I structure my classes so there is some overlap with Pilates. In small class settings, so I can be more one-on-one, we focus very heavily on the lower body and strengthen the thighs, the glutes and the body from the navel down. We then incorporate back, core and arms into the workout to make it complete.

“I think barre will be here for a while since it is fairly new and is still catching on,” she adds. “I recommend clients try it, see how their bodies respond and see how it makes them feel. If it’s right for them, I recommend they incorporate it into their overall training schedules and use it to add variety to what they do each week.”

Cindi and Paul Ornstein’s home beautifully showcases their passions

W

hen two creative spirits decorate a home together, the results are bound to be artful — and ever changing.

Cindi and Paul Ornstein’s Cornelius home is just such a place. The pair moved here from Los Angeles eight years ago when Paul retired from his long-time career in the fashion industry.

Since then, they’ve happily transformed their home into a veritable showplace of their creativity and signature style. From the picture frame Cindi whimsically hung on the front door to the bonsai trees Paul painstakingly cultivates on the back patio and countless little touches in between, the Ornsteins’ home is a perfect representation of its sophisticated, stylish owners.

Soul mates

Lake Norman Currents | September 2013

As true soul mates, Paul and Cindi participate in their creative pursuits (both in and out of their home) in equal measure. Married for 20 years, the couple met when she worked as the fashion designer in his apparel business. Today, they work together in Cindi’s interior design and home staging business (Paul even goes with her to consult on clients’ homes) and in her newest venture: a clothing line for mature women (see sidebar). While he tends to downplay his role in the making of their stylish lives, Paul confesses, “Our lives are pretty much a ‘we.’ My favorite 60

thing in life, my favorite hobby is Cindi.”

“I’ve always been creating,” says Cindi.

Adding touches of personal style to whatever they do is both her and Paul’s way of relishing life. “Art is in everything we do. Our house is our art,” Paul explains.

The home’s walls feature a plethora of paintings and sketches (many by Cindi), all of which she moves around the house as the mood strikes her. Paul and Cindi even painted two large canvases in abstract zebra patterns on a whim the night before a

dinner party after deciding the landing wall “needed something.” In another stroke of creative genius, they had their pantry door upholstered, and then added more panache themselves with nailhead trim.

The perfect mix As seasoned decorators (their Los Angeles home was featured in Better Homes and Gardens in 2004), Cindi and Paul collect pieces they love and work them into their home’s sophisticated yet casual design. “I use

Timeless choices like a culled zebra hide ottoman she and Paul have owned for years lend chic graphic elements, while still reading as classic pieces.

Timeless choices like a culled zebra hide ottoman she and Paul have owned for years lend chic graphic elements, while still reading as classic pieces. Grounding everything with a rich, understated sensibility are wall-to-wall sisal carpeting and paint colors in

warm neutrals.

The couple’s offices reveal their distinctive personalities.

His, painted and decorated in dark hues, is a man cave but with a Great Gatsby vibe. “I love this room,” Paul says, “It has all of my favorite things.”

Cindi Ornstein started her new clothing line, Coco O Women’s Haberdashery, in the fall of 2012, after friends and strangers alike begged to know where she got the riding jackets she was making for herself out of remnants of home décor fabrics.

“We saw a hole in the market for women who want to look fabulous at every age, 40, 50 and beyond,” Cindi says. As such, Coco O’s jackets are cut a bit longer and made of fabrics with the right heft and body to smooth and shape without adding bulk.

The clothing line’s web site, www. coco-o.net, features a fashion forecast written by Cindi. This fall, she says, be on the lookout for new takes on navy, candycolored coats and jackets, shades of gray everywhere, and heirloom jewelry looks.

Peruse Coco O’s fashions, along with more of Cindi and Paul’s fab finds at their retail space inside The Shoppes at Ashley Carol (20901 Catawba Avenue, Cornelius).

will try to be your voice teacher, but we both know to keep our mouths shut.”

The feeling is mutual, as Boye trusts Culpepper’s “high quality of musicianship, diligence in doing the work it takes, longstanding support and appreciation of each other.”

In addition, they have a great time together.

Culpepper recalls a particularly memorable drive to a gig in Ohio. “We spent the whole ride acting like a bunch of school kids, belting out country and western versions of Figaro,” she recalls. Boye remembers a certain performance where he seized the chance to rib Culpepper for her penchant to wear blindingly bright dresses. “At an Opera Gala Night in Breckenridge [Colorado], I joined Jacque on stage for a duet,” he remembers. “When I turned to face her, both the conductor and I put on pairs of dark sunglasses to block out her crazy, bright dress.”

This month’s concert is a fundraiser for a cause dear to both of their hearts — voice lesson scholarships for Davidson College students, not just music majors. As a full-time professor, Boye is grateful to be at a liberal arts institution like Davidson College that encourages collaboration

On Saturday, September 7, Jacquelyn Culpepper and Dan Boye will present a program of songs titled Do You Love Me? that charts the life cycle of love from those first smitten moments through loss to eventual reconciliation.

and exploration across disciplines.

“If I were at a research university, I might not have the flexibility to perform as often as I do,” says Boye, who takes pride in setting an example for his students by showing that one can balance performing with more scholarly pursuits. “Most people think that the music business today is just like American Idol,” he says. “But in reality, successful musicians are often more stable. Students need to see that balance is possible.” LNC The Scoop The Do You Love Me? concert featuring Dan Boye and Jacque Culpepper is Saturday, September 7 at 8 p.m. in Duke Family Performance Hall. Tickets are $8 to $15, with proceeds benefiting music lessons for Davidson College students. Reservations may be made by calling 704.894.2135 weekdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., or reserved any time online at www.davidson.edu/tickets.

Lake Norman Currents | September Lake Norman Currents | July 2013

ooking for a way to officially ring in the fall arts season? A good bet is a heart-felt concert by Davidson College’s most notable vocal duo — bass-baritone Dan Boye and soprano Jacquelyn Culpepper. On Saturday, September 7, this talented twosome will present a program of songs titled Do You Love Me? that charts the life cycle of love from those first smitten moments through loss to eventual reconciliation.

The program includes Broadway favorites such as Almost Like Being in Love from Brigadoon, Let’s Call the Whole Thing Off from Shall We Dance, I Remember It Well from Gigi, All I Ask of You from Phantom of the Opera and more. Boye, a professor of physics, and Culpepper, an artist associate of voice, met as graduate students at the Brevard Music Center in 1980 and have been performing together ever since.

Culpepper credits a healthy dose of mutual respect for keeping their professional relationship strong. “We have healthy boundaries,” explains Culpepper. “If I ask Dan’s opinion, he’ll give it to me. Sometimes colleagues

Lake Norman Currents | September 2013

n the August issue of CURRENTS we ran a story about Camp Dogwood on page 28.

But what you might not realize is that another philanthropic camp also used to exist in the area — Camp Fellowship.

Located on the east bank of the Catawba River just north of the Buffalo Shoals Bridge, Camp Fellowship opened on June 17, 1938. It was created for the benefit of orphans housed at various orphanages in the area, such as the Junior Order Orphanage of Lexington, Mills Home at Thomasville, the High Point Orphanage, the Alexander Home at Charlotte, the Baptist Orphanage of Thomasville and the Presbyterian Orphans’ Home at Barium Springs. It was constructed by the Presbyterian Orphans’ Home at Barium Springs with funds contributed by the Men’s Fellowship Club of the Second Presbyterian Church of Charlotte and other individual contributors from the area.

In addition, the land where the camp stood was leased to Barium Springs for a 10-year term

by Paola Cotton Mills, the Cannon Company, Statesville Cotton Mills and Statesville Flour 72

Mill. Initially Camp Fellowship was used exclusively by local orphanages. However, as some of the orphanages stopped using it, local churches began utilizing the camp. By 1948, the breakdown of camp usage went something like this — the Presbyterians used it for two weeks in the summer, the Methodist churches for four weeks and the Baptists for one week. When the camp was available, local 4-H clubs also joined in on the fun.

The lease for the camp was renewed in 1948. By 1951, the camp’s land was owned by a partnership involving Paola Cotton Mills, the Statesville Flour Mills, Mr. J. I. Tomlin and Cannon Mills of Kannapolis.

The Statesville owners (Paola Cotton Mills, Statesville Flour Mills and J. I. Tomlin) attempted, unsuccessfully, to buy Cannon Mills’ interest in the land and to continue the camp’s operations and development. After Cannon Mills refused to sell, the Statesville owners offered to give their ownership share in the camp to the Barium Spring Home for Children, who refused out of concern for the

“hazards of ownership.”

Later that year Cannon Mills purchased the Statesville owners’ portion of the partnership and was then sole owner of Camp Fellowship and the land involved. Cannon Mills had no intention of operating the facility as a camp for orphanages and churches. In September of 1951, the camp was re-dedicated to the memory of Billy Neely, a Statesville Boy Scout who died earlier that year in an accident.

The First Presbyterian Church leased the camp and presented it to the committee of Scout Troop No. 10, Neely’s troop, for use.

Camp Fellowship was then used solely by the Boy Scouts until it was closed to make way for Lake Norman.
