ast year, introducing the inaugural version of “Everything Durham,” I reflected on our affection for this city, affection we hoped would come through in this publication. Looking back, I’m happy to say our affection, if anything, is only greater. Here’s what I wrote last year: We lay our cards on the table right there on the front page of The Herald-Sun: “We Are Durham.” It describes how we see our role – and how we feel about this city in which we work and in which many of us live. Our role – to be the most complete, the most thorough source of news and information about the Bull City. Our feelings – this is a vibrant, exciting, interesting city that these days is, dare we say, the coolest place in the Triangle and, there’s no point being modest, in North Carolina. It is that role and that enthusiasm that I think permeates the publication you’re holding. We hope that you find “Everything Durham” just that – everything a newcomer might want to know about this city and a lot of stuff that you may not know or may appreciate being reminded of as a longtime resident. In here, you’ll find stories of our rich landscape of churches and neighborhoods, our vibrant entertainment scene, our universities and community college. This is a retirement Mecca – and it has a wide array of sports and recreation opportunities whether you want to watch from the stands or dive in to activities yourself. You’ll see ample reason why we are the City of Medicine – and read about the Research Triangle Park, two-thirds of which is in Durham and which has helped to fuel a decades-long economic and intellectual boom in our city. You’ll find lists – of government officials, of shopping destinations, of entertainment venues and more. Need to get your gas turned on or your telephone hooked up? You’ll find it here. And there’s a personal favorite of mine – a list of some of the scores of accolades that have come this city’s way, just in the past year or so alone. Again this year, I’m grateful to my newsroom team that has worked hard to put together the stories and many of the lists in “Everything Durham.” And I’m grateful to my colleagues in our advertising department whose hard work and spirited sales effort have made this section possible. I hope you’ll enjoy reading it and that you’ll hold on to it for re-reading and for reference. And I hope it will help you appreciate and immerse yourself in this city – because, after all, “we are Durham.”

GETTING AROUND DURHAM IS A BUS STOP AWAY Courtesy of Triangle Transit Authority
T
riangle Transit – Now serving Durham Seven Days a week! On Aug. 18, Triangle Transit reached a big milestone. After 20 years of service, the regional transit agency added Sunday service for core routes connecting Durham, Raleigh, RDU Airport and Chapel Hill. By bringing Sunday service to the Triangle, Triangle Transit is addressing the needs of customers that have unique work schedules and those that prefer using transit to get around not only for work but in their everyday life. The extended service hours on Saturday are the following routes operating to 11 p.m. and add service on Sunday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.: Route 100 - serving RDU International Airport Route 400 - serving Durham, Patterson Place and Chapel Hill Route 700 - serving Durham and the Regional Transit Center Route 800 - serving Chapel Hill, Southpoint and the Regional Transit Center The additional service hours, aren’t the only changes. There is a new route in town – the Orange-Durham Express (ODX). This commuter route runs Monday through Friday during peak morning and afternoon travel, connecting Hillsborough and Northern Orange County to Duke/ VA Hospital and Downtown Durham. The ODX will serve the North Hillsborough Park-and-Ride location at the North Hills Shopping Center at the intersection of Highway 70 and North Churton Street, with stops at Duke/VA and Durham Station. Brad Schulz, communications officer with Triangle Transit, said that recent Census data from central Orange County and eastern Alamance County showed significant commuting activity to Duke Hospital and downtown Durham. “We’ve had hundreds of people say they’ll consider it for their commute,” Schulz said. “As an express route, we think [it’s] a great way to get to Durham, easing stress and the hunt for a parking spot.” Our Transit Future: The Durham-Orange Light Rail Project gears up Work is underway on the Durham-Orange Light Rail Project between Chapel Hill and East Durham. The proposed light rail transit line extends 17-miles from UNC Hospitals eastward toward Patterson Place, South Square, Duke University, the VA Hospital, Ninth Street and downtown Durham, ending at Alston Avenue. The rail route will connect educational, medical, employment, transfer centers, the Durham Station Transportation Center and the Durham Amtrak Station. The project is one of two light rail projects nationwide approved by the US Department of Transportation this year. Environmental work began in February and
TRANSPORTATION in Durham there will be public sessions in November and December. The target date for service is 2025-2026. Learn more about the project, meeting dates and view an informational video at ourtransitfuture.com. DATA: DOING GOOD AROUND THE COMMUNITY Durham Area Transit Authority (DATA) continues to operate better service designed to serve you. This service reaches outside the vehicle and into community as operators join forces with the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina and Kroger Store in Durham for their annual Fill the Bus food drive. Customers donated 1,960 pounds of goods during the Fill the Bus food drive Aug. 2. The amount of food donated will provide 1,650 meals for area residents in need. DATA’s downtown circulator, the Bull City Connector, also got in on the act of getting food to the community with its pilot campaign shuttle to the Central Durham Farmer’s Market. For six weeks this summer, the Bull City Connector, served as the ride for those who were on their way to the Saturday market. This pilot coincided with the start of Central Durham Farmer’s Market accepting SNAP benefits. The pilot program ends Aug. 26 and will be reviewed to see success of the program. Your taste buds will be your guide and BCC will be your ride! The Bull City Connector is by far the yummiest bus route in town. Traveling up and down Main Street serving Golden Belt to Duke and everything in between, the BCC reaches more than 30 different eateries and restaurants within steps of each bus stop. In June, Bull City Connector partnered with several of those establishments to create the Bull City Connector Dining Guide. This full-color, 21-page guide highlights all of the restaurants in the downtown area, with nine businesses offering specials for those that show the guide while dining. The dining guide is around town at certain venues and always on the BCC. To see the online version of the guide, visit data.gotriangle.org. ❚❙

A DIVERSITY OF LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES By GREGORY CHILDRESS gchildress@heraldsun.com 919-419-6645
W
hen Superintendent Bert L’Homme was sworn in to lead Durham Public Schools in July, he noted the district’s diversity and its mission to graduate students who are prepared for a “career, college and life.” Interpreting the school district’s mission, which is posted on the DPS website, L’Homme said the goal of Durham Public Schools is to make sure that every student who graduates is prepared to follow his or her dream. “We know that the dream is as diverse at the 33,000 students who attend our schools. We know that achieving this goal, realizing this dream, is not magic and there are no easy answers.” DPS is certainly a school district that is diverse. Its more than 33,000 students are mostly African American (50.7 percent) followed by Hispanics (24.1 percent) and whites who make up roughly 20 percent of the school district’s enrollment.But diversity is not just found in the faces of its students. The school district’s diversity can also be found in the myriad academic programs designed to reach the largest number of students, each who bring their own specific learning styles and needs. Of DPS’ 56 schools, 23 are magnet schools, which include schools that support the Montessori method of teaching, those that provide an early college curriculum and those that offer a year-round calendar. The most recent magnet school offering is The School for Creative Studies, which is a year-round school and also offers a “specialty” curriculum. The school, which opened in July 2013 in the former Chewning Middle School, serves students in grades 6-12. Its curriculum focuses on digital media and creative design. Other school specialty programs include Hillside New Tech, a small STEM-based school that focuses on science, technology, engineering and mathematics. DPS offers two early college programs, the J.D. Clement Early College High School on the N.C. Central University campus and the Middle College High School at Durham Technical Community College. And at the Southern School of Energy and Sustainability, another

EDUCATION in Durham specialty program, students focus on the integration of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) in relation to energy and sustainability. CHARTER SCHOOLS Durham has 11 publicly funded charter schools, including a new one, Reaching All Minds Academy. It is scheduled to open in August. Charter schools are created through a contract and funded with public tax dollars. Most tend to have a non-traditional curriculum or focus. The schools are generally smaller than traditional public schools and offer parents another choice to attend public schools. Students who attend charter schools are selected through a lottery process, similar to the one used by DPS for its magnet and specialty programs. And while many charter schools do provide breakfast, lunch and transportation, they are not required to do so. PRIVATE SCHOOLS Durham has 28 private or independent schools, according to Private School Review online. They serve move than 5,000 students in pre-K through high school. Several of the private schools have only 100 students or so. The largest is Durham Academy with more than 1,100 students. Other large private schools include Trinity School of Durham and Chapel Hill, Duke School and Cresset Academy, all of which enroll 350 to 500 students.

LIFE AND SCIENCE MUSEUM, PLAYGROUNDS, HISTORIC SITES OFFER VARIETY OF KIDS’ ACTIVITIES
A
A hands-on museum, historic sites, playgrounds and a river are among the places to take children in Durham. At the top of the list of attractions for kids is the Museum of Life and Science (http://lifeandscience.org). The private museum has year-round programming and permanent exhibits where children can look, play and learn. Indoors, there are places to play for younger and older kids, and hands-on exhibits to learn about the weather, space and math. Outside, there is a train car to explore, a giant sand box and a barnyard with alpacas, a donkey, a cow and pigs to visit. Further down the winding paths of the museum is Explore the Wild, an exhibit featuring black bears, wolves and lemurs. The Magic Wings Butterfly House houses a large butterfly population as well as other insect exhibits. Each July, the butterfly house releases vivid Blue Morpho butterflies for visitors to walk amongst inside the building. The museum also has a Dinosaur Trail with life-sized dinosaur replicas, including one that children can climb. There’s also an archeological dig site for kids to dig up fossils. The Museum of Life and Science is the favorite place of Durham parent Katy Davis, the lead blogger of the Stir Crazy Moms’ Guide to Durham (http://stircrazymomsofdurham.blogspot.com). “There’s so much to do for the kiddos, things keep changing and the memberships are a great deal,” she said. Visitors to the museum can buy one-day admission or a yearly membership. There are also temporary exhibits and seasonal activities like the Santa Train and Pumpkin Patch Express, which uses the museum train. Davis said Durham has a bunch of awesome parks, including slides at Duke Park, Oval Drive’s sidewalk circuit and Rockwood Park hidden in the woods. The mother of two also takes advantage of the Sarah P. Duke Gardens (https://gardens.duke.edu) at Duke University for its big field, hidden trails, fish pond and lake. Managed by a nonprofit, Durham Central Park (http:// durhamcentralpark.org) is an urban park on the edge of downtown. It is home to the Durham Farmers Market, the city skateboard park and the soon-to-be-constructed Mount Merrill playground. The park also has giant turtle and cardinal sculptures that children are welcome to climb on. Durham Central Park also hosts several family-friendly events throughout the year, from food truck rodeos to Earth Day.

CHILDREN AT PLAY in Durham City parks include West Point on the Eno, which is situated on the Eno River and includes a historic mill. West Point on the Eno is also home to the annual Festival for the Eno each summer. Cynthia Booth of Durham Parks and Recreation (http://durhamnc.gov/ich/op/prd/ Pages/Home.aspx) said that DPR helps children discover the magic of play. “We offer a wide variety of activities to help contribute to their physical, emotional and social health,” Booth said. “We offer sports and recreational programs to improve fitness, cultural events to enlighten and educate, environmental education programs to explore the natural world, and community-based celebrations to instill civic pride,” she said. There are also three state historic sites in Durham County – Duke Homestead (http:// dukehomestead.org/), Bennett Place (http:// www.nchistoricsites.org/bennett) and Stagville (http://www.stagville.org). At Duke Homestead, annual events like the Harvest and Hornworm Festival let kids learn to race hornworms, listen to music and play games like the Duke family children would have in the 1800s. Bennett Place, site of the largest surrender of the Civil War, hosts historical programs all year, as does the historic Stagville plantation. Davis, who started writing her Stir Crazy Moms blog when her rising kindergartener was a baby, thinks that overall there are a ton of great kid things to do in Durham. She also noted kid-friendly places like a play area at the Streets of Southpoint Mall, the Stay and Play Snack Café downtown, and restaurants like Pompieri Pizza, Q-Shack, Foster’s Market and The Chocolate Shop. ❚❙

ducation is the key to a better future. And whether you want to pursue a degree in medicine at a cutting-edge research institution, to study jazz in a pioneering program at the first U.S. public liberal arts institution for African-Americans, or get training for a job in law enforcement or nursing, Durham has it all. The city has a world-renowned university in Duke University, a private research institution with a nationally ranked undergraduate program and leading graduate-degree programs including in law, medicine, engineering, business and nursing. N.C. Central University, a four-year university that became the first public liberal arts institution for African-Americans in the country, also calls Durham home. The school offers undergraduate areas of study in a wide 30 | EVERYTHING DURHAM | 2014
range of areas – including in jazz studies – as well as graduate degrees in law and library science, among others. And at Durham Technical Community College, students have the opportunity to prepare for high school degrees, to have a more affordable means of working toward a degree at a four-year institution, and to get career and technical training. ABOUT DUKE: Duke University makes headlines for its devoted basketball fans, for the notable Coach K as well as for discoveries made by its medical researchers and scientists at the lab bench. It’s got a nationally ranked undergraduate program and top programs in law, medicine and other graduate areas of study. The university traces its roots to Trinity College, a Methodist college that
EDUCATION in Durham first opened in Randolph County in 1838, according to the website http://library.duke.edu/rubenstein/uarchives/history/articles. It moved to Durham in 1892, spurred along by gift offers from tobacco businessmen Washington Duke Julian S. Carr. In 1924, Duke’s son James B. Duke created the family philanthropic foundation, The Duke Endowment, to provide for the expansion of the college into a university. The school’s original campus is what’s now known as East Campus, which was rebuilt with Georgian-style architecture, according to the website. West Campus is home to the iconic Duke University Chapel and Gothic-style architecture. In the fall of 2013, the school had about 14,600 students enrolled. The top majors for the 6,495 undergraduates were biology, public policy studies, economics, psychology and biomedical engineering. It has 10 schools and colleges, including the School of Law, Divinity School, School of Medicine, School of Nursing, Fuqua School of Business, Sanford School of Public Policy, and Nicholas School of the Environment, the Trinity College of Arts & Science and the Graduate School. For the 2014-15 academic year, the cost of undergraduate tuition at Duke University will be $45,800. Including tuition as well as room, board and fees, the total cost will be $60,533. More than half of all Duke students receive some form of aid from the university, according to Duke Today.

It once was the residence of university founder James E. Shepard. Woolworth Library Display: A section of the F.W.

ABOUT DURHAM TECHNICAL COMMUNITY COLLEGE: Durham Tech offers opportunities for learning basic skills for getting high school credentials, for earning credit toward a four-year-degree, as well as for career and technical training. The college offers opportunities for getting credentials in fields such as nursing, basic law enforcement, health information technology, pharmacy technology, surgical technology, emergency medical services, and phlebotomy. And for students who are working toward a four-year degree, Durham Tech is launching a new program this fall in collaboration with N.C. Central University. The schools are the first university and college in the state to offer a dual enrollment, residential academic transfer program. In the program, which is called “Eagle Connect,” Durham Tech students live together on the NCCU campus for two years while they work toward an associate’s degree. After two years, they can transfer that credit toward a four-year degree at NCCU. Carver Weaver, public information officer for the college, said in an email that there were just under 4,800 students registered for curriculum classes in the fall semester with one week to go of registration, which was down about 5.3 percent from the prior year. Weaver said the cost per credit hour for the semester is $72, which was up by only 50 cents. The college offers access through its 419,400-square-foot main campus in Durham across 12 buildings and 75 acres, at a building in northern Durham, as well through an Orange County campus with two buildings. ❚❙

urhamites don’t have to go far to access world-class medical care. That’s because the city is home to a hospital that ranked as the best in the state and as one of the top in the nation in U.S. News & World Report’s 2014-15 rankings. In addition, Duke University Hospital is affiliated with a top-10ranked medical school that draws in millions in research dollars each year. But that’s not all. The city is home to a medical center for veterans that’s a regional destination for specialty and sub-specialty care, as well as a county-owned, Duke-managed hospital that ranked as the sixthbest hospital in the state. And it boasts of a private specialty hospital with a state-of-the-art medical facility that specializes in surgical procedures in orthopedics, ophthalmology, ear, nose and throat medicine. The health care opportunities in Durham are a draw for people from all over the world, said Ted Conner, senior vice president for economic development and community sustainability at the Greater Durham Chamber of Commerce, and that brings dollars into the community that support the economy. According to the Durham Convention & Visitors Bureau, 7 percent

of visitor stays in Durham between 2011 and 2013 were for medical or health care reasons. Conner also said that since Durham has top-ranked medical programs and training programs for doctors, that raises the bar for medical care across the community. “You’ve got kind of an all-star team working here in Durham whether it’s at Duke, Duke Regional, (the Durham VA), Triangle Orthopedics,” he said. “You’ve got an all-star team taking folks from Durham as well as all over the world.” DUKE UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL Duke University Hospital was ranked as the No. 1 hospital in North Carolina in U.S. News & World Report’s “Best Hospitals” 2014-15 rankings. And it was the only hospital in the state to be included in the “201415 Honor Roll” national hospital list. The hospital was ranked as the 14th best hospital in the country on the list. It also ranked nationally in 13 individual adult specialties and nine pediatric specialties, and had one high performing specialty. Its highestranked adult specialty was cardiology and heart surgery, for which it won a No. 4 ranking nationally.
MEDICINE in Durham The other adult specialties it was ranked nationally in were in cancer, diabetes and endocrinology, gastroenterology and GI surgery, geriatrics, gynecology, nephrology, neurology and neurosurgery, ophthalmology, orthopedics, pulmonology, rheumatology and urology. Duke University Hospital, including its hospital-based clinics and outpatient locations, saw 38,187 inpatient visits, 995,984 outpatient visits, 67,622 emergency department visits, 37,322 surgical cases, and 3,016 baby deliveries in fiscal year 2013. “Duke is proud to be a leader in defining and delivering world class care to all we serve,” Dr. Lisa Clark Pickett, assistant professor of surgery and medicine and chief medical officer at Duke University Hospital, said in a statement. “Our focus on research has given Duke a national reputation, bringing patients to our health system from the Triangle, the state, our nation, and beyond.

o diversify the state’s economy beyond furniture, textiles and tobacco and to stop the outward flow of its university graduates, a group of business, university and political leaders set out to create the Research Triangle Park. The idea was to attract research companies using Duke University, N.C. State University in Raleigh and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill as selling points. In January 1959, they announced the plan to purchase the land for the park and to establish a new research institute. The park now has 7,000 acres and houses operations of more than 170 global companies, including New York-based IBM Corp. and California-based networking technology company Cisco Systems Inc. “A number of our business leaders looked at our situation and said,
RESEARCH PARK in Durham â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;we need to do something dramatic or weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to be a state that can compete,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? said Bob Geolas, president and CEO of the Research Triangle Foundation of North Carolina, which is the nonprofit that manages the park. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had been known as the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Rip Van Winkle State,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; the state that had literally just fallen asleep.â&#x20AC;? As the story is told in Albert N. Linkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Generosity of Spirit: The Early History of the Research Triangle Park,â&#x20AC;? then-Gov. Luther H. Hodges formed a committee of university and business leaders to work on the idea for the park. Private investors started the process of gathering land. Construction contractor Romeo Guest, considered by some to be a â&#x20AC;&#x153;founding fatherâ&#x20AC;? of the park for his key role in conceptualizing and selling the idea for the park, solicited investments from textile mill investor Karl Robbins to take out the first options on the land. Archie K. Davis, who eventually was chairman of Wachovia, the Charlotte-based bank acquired by Wells Fargo, raised $1.425 million to buy the land and to launch RTI International, a contract research institute. While RTI was the first tenant in the park in spirit, the institute
didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a building in the park until 1960. The parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first physical tenant was Chemstrand Corp., a company jointly owned by Monsanto Corp. and American Viscose, according to Link. The company broke ground in 1959 on a new chemical fiber research facility. The park was slow to grow in its early years, but it took off with commitments from three major tenants in 1965, including IBM, according to Linkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book. Cisco Systems, one of the top employers in Durham County, was attracted to the area because of the work force talent and proximity to customers and partners, said Ed Paradise, vice president at Cisco and the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senior site executive in the park. The company first had an office in Raleigh in 1993, and opened its Research Triangle Park location in May of 1995. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grown from about 200 employees in the state to more than 5,500. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While the original mission of Cisco in RTP was to provide a headquarters for our IBM Internetworks Business Unit and to house other engineering and sales functions for the company, our local workforce has evolved to meet a broad variety of external and internal needs,â&#x20AC;?

RESEARCH PARK in Durham
Bob Geolas, president of the Research Triangle Foundation, announces plans for expansion in the Research Triangle Park.
Paradise said. The park is changing to ensure its continued success. Geolas said conditions that made the park successful before have changed. Companies don’t think about building large, global research and development centers like they once did, he said. The next generation of workers also wants more amenities, such as to be able to live near where they work. They “don’t want to work at mom and dad’s 1960s or 1970s research park model,” he said. He also said park leaders also want to foster entrepreneurship in the RTP.

OLDER BUSINESSES in Durham If you owned a business during the Great Depression, chances of keeping it afloat weren’t great. Thousands of businesses failed as unemployment soared above 20 percent and GDP fell. If you somehow made it to the next century and the Great recession, it would’ve been easy to join the ranks of hundreds of thousands of more failing businesses. Depression and Recession aside, 44 percent of businesses make it through their first four years, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. But these Durham businesses have defied the odds, surviving, sometimes thriving, for at least 85 years, some for many more.
MECHANICS AND FARMERS BANK Chartered by the North Carolina legislature in 1907, Mechanics and Farmers Bank opened for business at 112. W. Parrish St. in August 1908. The bank’s name draws from the customers it intended to serve. According to the bank, “Mechanics” was likely derived from the legal term
“mechanics lien,” which encompassed the professions involved in building, construction and contracting. The “Farmers” portion of the name highlights that wealth in the 20th century came from the ownership of real property, especially farmland. In a passage from his 1912 article “The Upbuilding of Black Durham,” W.E.B. Dubois wrote that the bank was started to finance AfricanAmerican businesses, which were estimated to handle a million and a half dollars a year in 1913. “It has a paid-in capital of $11,000 and it has $17,000 deposited by 500 different persons,” Dubois wrote. Adjusted for inflation, that would be about $409,276 in deposits today. Between December 2013 and March 2014, the bank handled $258.1 million in deposits. Amid a high bank failure rate during the Great Depression, the bank remained profitable and has grown to nine branches over the years, including locations in Charlotte, Raleigh, and Winston-Salem. M & F aims to be the bank of choice for churches, with about 49 percent of its loan portfolio going towards faith-based non profits, according to the bank’s latest SEC filing. “We’ll always remain very committed to our faith-based customer

OLDER BUSINESSES in Durham base,” said President and CEO Kim Saunders in a 2007 interview. “But we’re committed to diversifying our products and services.” The bank has recently appointed a new CEO, James Sills, who was previously the secretary of the Department of Technology and chief information officer for the State of Delaware. Sills said banking relies heavily on technology and his background in it will help M&F stay abreast of technological innovations. STONE BROTHERS & BYRD In the late 1970s, Stone Brothers & Byrd had to make a change. Farmland acreage was declining as real estate developments boomed. And Stone Brothers and Byrd, operating since 1914, relied heavily on providing goods to farmers. Current owner George Davis came into ownership of the business in 1976, and decided to take the store in the direction of lawn and garden. “Watching the farmer part of Durham change, we had to change with it,” he said. But change isn’t new to the store; it is what the store’s success thrives on. “The key to our success has been willing to try new things based on what customers ask for,” Davis said. “Finding what does work, holding
on to it, but being ready to make a change when the demand tide shifts.” In 2003, Stone Brothers & Byrd launched an ecommerce division, which creates business from all over the country. Davis said Texas and Oklahoma are the two states the store sells most to through ecommerce. Then, because of the Great Recession, the store decided to launch a landscape division about three years ago. Davis said the service sector withstood the recession well. Stone Brothers & Byrd formed when a farm supply store, Byrd Brothers, merged with a grocery store, Stone Brothers. Davis said this was a logical merger due to the self-sufficiency of families during the early 1900s. The families cooked what they grew. And the store still showcases successful items from the past, including barrels of homemade molasses on tap. PUBLIC HARDWARE Family ownership for Public Hardware started in 1923 and continues today. Three brothers: Harvey, Rand and John Wall, acquired Public Hardware nearly 91 years ago. Fourth-generation owner Buster Wall said Richard Harvey Wright

OLDER BUSINESSES in Durham owned the space previously before the Wall’s acquisition. Wright owned a number of Durham businesses including the Wright Machinery Company and Durham Traction Company and developed Lakewood Park to attract streetcar riders, according to the Museum of Durham History. Buster Wall said his father acquired the business around 1973 and he bought it in 1980. In 1995, Public Hardware moved from its longtime Parrish Street location to 505 N. Mangum St. Buster Wall said the move initially hurt business, because longtime customers thought they had closed down. The Great Recession provided another blow, when many of Public Hardware’s construction clients went out of business. But Buster Wall said they are recovering “slowly but surely” in the face of competition from large chain hardware stores. “We just try to give (people) service,” he said. Their slogan states “if we don’t have it, can’t get it or know where to find it, then you don’t need it.” Wall said the store has many items that customers come in and say they couldn’t find anywhere else. The store offers items from wood stoves to magnesium float masonry tools. Above the cash register, Wall has hung the first knife case the store

Under family ownership, of course. DURHAM BULLS Initially established in 1902 as the Durham Tobacconists, The Durham Bulls played their first game in 1913. However, World War I set the team back until July 1926, when the Bulls’ El Toro Park was officially dedicated, according to the North Carolina History Project. The Bulls got their name from the popular Bull Durham Tobacco advertising logo. According to a release from Lynn Richardson at the Durham County Library, J.R. Green came up with the Bull Durham name while eating fried oysters with his friend from Hillsborough. His friend, James Whitted, pointed to the bull’s head on an English mustard jar, and suggested Green use the bull for advertising. After Green’s death in 1869, Bull Durham partner Julian Carr launched a marketing campaign, and it was rumored that the bull is painted on one of the pyramids of Egypt.
The Bulls play a 144-game schedule and are the Triple A-Affiliate of the Tampa Bay Rays. In 1988, the film “Bull Durham” starring Kevin Costner and Susan Sarandon portrayed the team and the city. Sports Illustrated ranked the movie as the greatest sports film ever made. In 1990, Capitol Broadcasting purchased the team and built a new stadium in 1995. HALL-WYNNE AND WHITE If you look on the door at Hall-Wynne Funeral Service and Crematory, you can faintly see where “& White” has been scrubbed over. Founded in 1904 by J.S Hall and George V. Wynne, what was once Hall-Wynne & White is now Hall-Wynne Funeral Service at 1113 W. Main St., after a falling out with a partner. The company relocated in 1926 to its present location and current President Mark Higgins, along with C. Michael Poole, purchased HallWynne in 1992. The majority of funeral homes have heritage, Higgins said. As communities develop a population large enough to necessitate funeral homes’ existence, he said, they began to develop and still remain today. “The longer we’re in business, the more entrenched we become in the

In addition, Hall-Wynne is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. Building of its long history and reputation, Hall-Wynne has expanded to four other locations throughout the years. In addition to Durham, it’s now located in Franklinton, Pittsboro and Oxford. Hall-Wynne’s Durham location is described by the company as a “Greek revival” space. Higgins said that in 1926, it was the first building constructed for the purpose of serving as funeral home in the southeastern U.S.

NORTH CAROLINA MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE Started in 1898, N.C. Mutual Life Insurance is the oldest and largest African-American-owned Life Insurance company in the country. The company initially had seven founders, who each contributed $50, according to Walter B. Weare’s “Black Business in the New South.” But five of the seven founders withdrew after two years. John Merrick, a barber, and Aaron Moore, Durham’s first black physician, continued on with the company, starting it in Moore’s office on the southeast corner of Main and Church Streets. The company grew quickly; premium income increased from $840 in 1889 to more than $1 million by 1918. In 1966, the company moved its headquarters to a $5 million highrise called Mutual Plaza at 411 W. Chapel Hill St. Now, N.C. Mutual Life has expanded across the country and reported $14.09 million in revenues from life, accident and health contract premiums and annuities in 2013. Throughout its existence, the company has had nine presidents including Asa Spaulding, who served as Vice-Chairman of the North Carolina Advisory Committee to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, which played a role in desegregation and voting right legislation.

The Herald-Sun | File photo
THE HERALD-SUN Bringing news to the Durham community since 1889, what has evolved into The Herald-Sun was founded by Col. James Algernon Robinson, born out of a railroad line dispute. The Sun 40 years later caught the attention of E. T. Rollins, who had built Durham’s biggest daily paper, The Durham Morning Herald. He purchased The Sun in July 1929, and the two papers co-existed as morning and evenings papers for the next 60 years. The Rollins family maintained ownership of both papers for decades, merging the two into The Herald-Sun in 1991. In 2005, Paxton Media Group took ownership of the paper. The Herald-Sun today remains Durham’s newspaper of record, while expanding its online presence. “Those of us at The Herald-Sun today owe an enormous debt to the reputation built by generations before us,” said Editor Bob Ashley. “It’s an honor and a challenge to continue that legacy well into the 21st century, serving this community as this wonderful city’s single most comprehensive source of news, information and entertainment. As has been the case for more than 125 years, ‘We are Durham’ – and proud of it.” ❚❙
also received a Presidential Citation from Harry Truman for his contributions to the welfare of the nation. James Speed, the current president and CEO, assumed his role in 2004. BUDD-PIPER ROOFING COMPANY Budd-Piper Roofing started in 1914 and for 45 years was located at 115 W. Chapel Hill St. On August 13, 1959, the company moved to its current location at 506 Ramseur Street. The manufacturing boom caused by World War II led Budd-Piper to recruit more than 500 employees during the 1940s. According to the company, many government building were constructed in North Carolina during the war and Budd-Piper was roofing military homes at the rate of one per hour.

A New Approach to Home Cleaning Offered in Durham
When it comes to how your home looks, you have high expectations. After all, your home is a reflection of you. And although there are countless maid services, there are very few who live up to the quality of The Maids, a residential cleaning service that has served Durham, NC since 2006. The Maids of Durham mixes traditional cleaning practices with new, revolutionary tools and solutions, providing the healthiest, most through clean in the industry. Using their unique Healthy Touch® Deep Cleaning System, the team will power through your home providing you a cleaner living environment. Wes Dunn, owner of The Maids of Durham said, “We professionally train every member of our team to use our 22 step cleaning system. This ensures your home is thoroughly and consistently cleaned every time.” The Maids of Durham also utilizes environmentally preferable products and state-of-the art equipment. Said Dunn, “We use commercial-grade backpack vacuums with HEPA filtration that can remove up to 99% of dust and allergens from a home. All of our cleaning products are environmentally friendly, non toxic and safe for kids and pets. Because of our cleaning products and equipment, we are able to provide you with
the healthiest home cleaning in the area. The Maids of Durham team members take great pride in their work and truly care about your home. Dunn added, “Our four-person teams arrive in our bright yellow company car emblazoned with The Maids’ logo. All employees are professionally trained, uniformed, licensed, and bonded and insured which gives our customers added peace of mind. We strive to provide quality and service that goes beyond the level of detail generally attained with conventional cleaning practices.” The Maids of Durham offers customers a 24-hour 100 percent satisfaction guarantee. Although the majority of their business is regular, ongoing maid service, like weekly or every-other-week service, The Maids of Durham also provides special projects including seasonal cleaning, move-in/moveout cleaning, pre- and post-party cleaning, executive apartment or condo cleaning and many other special cleaning projects. Said Dunn “We don’t try to lock people in to contracts or long term commitments. We want our clients to feel comfortable with their home cleaning schedule and customize every clean based on their individual needs.” The Maids of Durham is committed to giving back to the community. The Dunn’s are proud supporters of both Cleaning For a Reason, which provides home cleaning services to women undergoing treatment for cancer free of charge, and the Hillandale Golf Course H.E.A.R.T.S. Club, which provides a no cost nurturing golf environment for the children that are patients at the Duke Children’s Hospital Pediatric and Marrow Transplant unit. Dunn said, “We know how critical a clean home is for a cancer patient and we love being able to provide this service to them and help ease their worries about maintaining a clean and healthy home.” Added Dunn, “We are also so happy to support a local program that helps assist children and their families that are patients
at Duke. The children cannot be around groups of people due to their treatments, so golf via the H.E.A.R.T.S club offers them an escape from treatments and hospitals and gives them something to look forward to.” Find out why 96 percent of The Maids’ customers would recommend The Maids to friends and family.

Joanne Andrews helps put the finishing touches on the drawing for the Durham Civil Rights History Mural Project
T
he Bull City is known for having a do-it-yourself attitude, and its public and visual art reflects this grassroots ethic. The best current example is the Durham Civil Rights History Mural Project. The mural, the city’s first official public art project, was announced in 2012, and after a few false starts, finally got underway this summer. As this section was being written, the drawing of the mural was being completed and painting was about to begin. The mural will pay tribute to many heroes who participated in the drive toward greater equality. In keeping with another Durham trait, the mural is participatory. Anyone was welcome to show up and help with the painting of this permanent mural, located on the back wall of the Durham Convention Center, next to the Durham Arts Council building at 120 Morris Street downtown. Liberty Arts, a nonprofit metal working and sculpture facility, has put together the first Bull City Sculpture Show. The 12 sculptures chosen for this show are on view near and around Durham Central Park and other areas downtown. Most of the sculptures will be on view through most of October. Sculptor Todd Frahm’s “Basin and Range” was voted the People’s Choice award, and will remain on view until May 2015. One sculpture will be purchased and become a permanent part of Durham’s landscape.

Local band, D-Town Brass, performs an original score for the silent film, "Voyage Across the Impossible," during a show at Motorco Music Hall. The show was a collaboration with Durham Cinematheque.
Liberty Arts maintains a studio and teaches classes at 923 Franklin St. Artists also on occasion do public pours of sculptures at the foundry, the George Watts Hill Pavilion, in the 500 block of Foster Street in Durham Central Park. For information, visit www.liberty-arts.org. Ten Durham artists banded together in 2013 and opened the Pleiades Gallery at 109 E. Chapel Hill St. Recent exhibits, featuring different media, have included “Local Flavor” and “Truth to Power.” A few blocks east at 303 E. Chapel Hill St. is Through This Lens gallery, dedicated to the work of local and national photographers. Craven Allen Gallery, at 1106 ½ Broad St., is a framing shop that also exhibits the work of many local artists, among them Beverly McIver, Helen Griffin, Kathryn Demarco and many more. Durham area universities also have museums and extensive collections. In the next few months the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University will present exhibits of Robert Rauschenberg and Juan Miro. The Ackland Art Museum at UNC Chapel Hill will soon open an exhibit of photographs from its collection, and an exhibit of French artists from circa 1700. The North Carolina Central University Art Museum presents exhibits by African-American artists. Recent shows have featured the work of Joseph Holston, Titus Heagins and Charles White. The Bull City also has a thriving local music scene. Last April, the first Art of Cool Festival, which featured artists from jazz and related styles, took place at numerous venues in an around downtown. Planning for next year’s festival is underway.

and teens, but even for canine visitors to the parks. Neighborhood parks offer the opportunity for Durham residents to come together almost in their back yards to connect and have a collective identity. “The parks become as distinctive as the neighborhoods themselves,” Annette Smith of Durham Parks and Recreation said. “It takes on that neighborhood look. It becomes integral to the personalities of the neighborhoods.” Not only does Parks and Recreation offer a vast acreage of parks, but it also boasts more than 20 miles of trails and greenways. With seven recreation centers, Durham residents have plenty of opportunities to work up a sweat. Need to cool down? Don’t worry, Parks and Recreation also has you covered with two indoor pools and three outdoor pools that are open when the weather permits. “We have a lot of variety of offerings,” Beth The Herald-Sun | File photo by Elizabeth Mendoza Kids escape the heat at the Rock Quarry Park in the spray ground.

and Lake Michie in Durham County. The high ropes course in Bethesda Park near RTP offers 22 elements including a zip line. It also plays host to a skate park for those interested in skateboarding. Lake Michie is the destination in Durham County for largemouth bass fishing. Bring your fishing poles and rent a boat to venture out on the lake, or take your time and canoe out to relax and take in the sights. Little River Lake, which is the PARKS BY THE main source of much of Durham’s NUMBERS: water supply, also can play host to row 1,800 acres of public parks boats and bank fishing.

Some classes have a cost associated with them. You can visit www.DPRPlayMore.org for more information. The YMCA of the Triangle has multiple locations in Durham, assuring that no matter what part of the city you live in you have access to facilities that meet your activity needs. “One of the bonuses of being a part of the Durham Y, (you) are actually members of all four Durham Ys,” Greg Lee, branch communication director with the Durham YMCA, said. Over the course of a week, the Durham YMCA branches offer about 100 classes. Those classes range from yoga to kickboxing and basically everything in between. Lee said children as young as 10 can take classes at any of the YMCA branches as long as they have an adult with them. “We make every effort for families to play together,” Lee said. “It’s not just about physical wellness, it creates opportunities to spend time together; it gives parents a chance to set good healthy examples for the kids.” Lee said the swim program is one of the more popular ones across the board at Durham YMCAs. Beyond the swim programs, Lee said youth sports are a big draw as well as adult wellness classes. Lee said another bonus to being with the YMCA isn’t just the fitness and wellness aspect – being a member of the Durham YMCA can connect you to the community. “It’s a great place to kind of discover what the Durham community is all about,” Lee said “If you kind of want to get a feel for Durham, or the vibe Durham has, come to a YMCA branch.” The YMCA also offers need-based scholarships for those who want to become members, but can’t afford to, Lee said.
RECREATION in Durham Need to take a relaxing stroll? Duke University’s “crown jewel” is the Sarah P. Duke Gardens – a 55-acre space within campus that is open to the public. The gardens attract about 300,000 visitors a year. The gardens have received multiple awards from local and national publications. Most recently it was named one of The Huffington Post’s “insanely beautiful public gardens.” There also are hiking trails through Duke Forest. And Durham is home to the American Tobacco Trail, which spans the city with more than 22 miles of trails. Trail goers can start from downtown and make their way toward Southpoint. Durham is also home to 10 golf courses, including the Duke University Golf Course, which played host to the 2001 NCAA Men’s Golf Championship. Durham also has more than 20 tennis courts for use across city parks and school yards.
PARKS AT A GLANCE: West Point on the Eno boasts the most acreage out of all Durham parks. West Point spans more than 380 acres. Located at 5101 N. Roxboro Road in North Durham, West Point has access for boaters and greenways and trails for those interested in taking in the scenic beauty of the Eno River. West Point also plays host to the annual Festival for the Eno, which will be held on July 4 and 5 in 2015. River Forest Park in North Durham also holds a large acreage at more than 67 acres of land. River Forest Park, 1000 Windermere Drive, plays host to an athletic field and playground for visitors to utilize. There are also picnic tables and a picnic shelter for guests to take advantage of when the weather permits. Durham Central Park is a mainstay in the community. From hosting Farmers’ Markets and
Food Truck Rodeos, to personal events and even Yoga in the Park, Central Park offers up an experience for anyone in the downtown area. Located at 502 Foster St., Central Park has more than 5 acres of land to explore; maybe you’ll even be able to spot a sculpture or two before you head to any of the local shops close to the park.

This season, for instance, players like Kevin Kiermaier, Cole Figueroa and Kirby Yates started the season in Durham before moving up to play for Tampa Bay. The Bulls’ home stadium has never looked better than it does this season. Thanks to last year’s agreement between the city of Durham and the Bulls parent company, Capitol Broadcasting, the DBAP saw $20 million in renovations. A new video board was installed as well as enhanced concession areas, wider concourses and additional luxury suites.

SPORTS in Durham In return, the Bulls signed a lease agreement to play in the DBAP for another 30 years. The Bulls and the city showed off the improvements to the nation when the Triple-A All-Star Game was played at the DBAP to rave reviews on July 16. But the Bulls are far from the only game in town. College athletics have long been the calling card in the Triangle with Durham contributing heavily. A charter member of the ACC, Duke University’s men’s basketball team is among the best in the nation year in and year out. The Blue Devils, playing in historic Cameron Indoor Stadium, have won four NCAA championships since Mike Krzyzewski became their coach in 1980. Duke’s women’s basketball team has been consistently ranked among the nation’s top 10 for the last five seasons. For both teams, the toughest tickets are for games against rival North Carolina, located eight miles down the road and across the Orange County line in Chapel Hill. Duke also boasts other championship-level athletic teams among its 23 men’s and women’s sports. The men’s lacrosse team won its second NCAA championship in a row, and its third in the last five seasons, last May. Duke’s lacrosse and soccer teams play at Koskinen Stadium, located as part of the school’s athletic complex off of Science Drive on West Campus. Duke’s women’s golf team won the NCAA championship last spring. The Blue Devils football team, which calls Wallace Wade Stadium home, is coming off one of its finest seasons in school history. The Blue Devils set a school record for wins by going 10-4 overall, including a 6-2 record in the ACC. Duke has played in bowl games in back-to-back seasons for the first time. Durham is also home to the N.C. Central Eagles, who also compete at the Division I level of NCAA athletics. NCCU’s conference home is the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. The football team plays its home games and O’Kelly-Riddick Stadium while NCCU’s men’s and women’s basketball teams call McLendon-McDougald Gym home. Last season, NCCU’s basketball team played in the Division I NCAA Tournament for the first time. NCCU sponsors 14 intercollegiate athletic teams. At the high school level, Durham County’s schools routinely rank among the state’s best in a variety of sports. Hillside High School won a state football championship in 2010. High school football and basketball games are popular gathering spots in the community. Even with that plethora of spectator sports options, Durham is loaded with participatory sports as well.

urham retirees can be gentlemen and ladies of leisure if they prefer. But for those who seek learning and fun, there's a lot to do. At the Osher Life Learning Institute (OLLI) at Duke University, for example, more than 1,800 members find a high quality of life in their golden years. The membership-based organization offers 350 courses each year in humanities, sciences and wellness. Now in its 37th year, OLLI operates mainly at The Bishop's House on East Campus, but also offers classes at Judea Reform Congregation on Cornwallis Road and other places in the area. Most participants are 50 and older, but the program is open to anyone, according to director Garry Crites. Courses are offered in three terms each year: - An 11-week fall term starting in September.

- An 11-week winter term beginning in January. - A six-week spring term that starts in April. OLLI is one of the main reasons that Money Magazine listed Durham several years ago as its top place to retire. Crites points to the program's two main draws: -- The high quality of courses. "People want to continue to grow and study," he said. "The quality of our curriculum is one of the strongest draws." - The sense of community it creates. "We have retreats and other activities in the community, where people can come and make OLLI almost like a family," Crites said. "A large percentage of our membership are transplants. They come here to retire, to be with grandchildren. In some cases, they had careers here and retired here. OLLI gives them a sense of belonging." Crites said OLLI continues to grow, with many rejoining each year.

The center's new executive director is Cathy Stallcup. Stallcup said the center provides classes/interest groups, nutritional and transportation needs, and informational and social events. It offers information and help with housing, home repair, emergencies, legal issues, transportation, telephone reassurance, job training and employment assistance, medical equipment and mental health options. Other services include help with elder abuse, neglect and exploitation assistance and crime, safety and fraud prevention assistance, she said.

he faith community in Durham is much like the city itself – diverse but also collaborative on ways to make it a better place to live. The Rev. Spencer Bradford, pastor of Durham Mennonite Church, is also the executive director of Durham Congregations In Action, an interfaith group of 62 congregations who hold monthly meetings and work together to sponsor and fund local projects. He thinks Durham is becoming even more diverse. Though the group is comprised mostly of churches, its congregations also include those representing Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist and Baha’i communities. The Baha’i faith, founded in present-day Iran, has a small but dedicated local contingent that invites the public to learn more about it. The Sikh Gurudwara of North Carolina is in Durham, and after a shooting at a Sikh center in Wisconsin in 2012, invited the community to attend a service, where Sikhs welcomed those of other faiths and talked about their own. The growing Jewish community Durham – and nearby Chapel Hill – built the area’s first Jewish Community Center, the Levin JCC in Durham, which opened last year. Rabbis and pastors have led joint efforts Durham to help the poor or hold vigils. Several pastors of churches in Durham are also professors at Duke Divinity School, and the seminary students intern in Durham churches. Also at Duke University, Duke Chapel has its own congregation as well as being a central worship space for the university and community events and special speakers. Durham has several landmark century-old church buildings as well as churches that meet in schools or storefronts. Bradford said that DCIA believes “what is most significant and transformational in our respective traditions is what will get us ‘out of the house’ – including our houses of worship – to work together on behalf of the poor, hungry and victimized. That kind of spirituality extends a personal, inner experience into a drive to connect with the lives of others and help them to thrive.” There are multiple street ministries in the city, like Meet Me Under the Bridge, which ministers to the homeless community and provides free meals. The Durham Rescue Mission is a large religious entity with shelters, ministries and annual events like a Thanksgiving dinner that draws several hundred people.
RELIGION in Durham The Rev. Ginger Brasher-Cunningham, pastor of Pilgrim United Church of Christ, that while “Durham has significant poverty, racial tension and separation between faith and secular communities” there are numerous people within both that choose to work together. “We do not always understand each other, but there is a sense that we desire a place where all are included, welcomed and wanted,” BrasherCunningham said. “I have lived in many inclusive and eclectic places, but Durham seems to hold the key for supporting one another as we ask questions, fumbling about and trying to be the place we want to be,” she said. The Religious Coalition for a Nonviolent Durham holds monthly luncheon roundtables, with representatives from various faith and community groups. Marcia Owen, executive director of the coalition, said that “clergy and laity throughout the city are in prayer, lament, and service with families of homicide victims.” She also noted the faith community’s work with those

returning to the community after being in prison. Owen said their work is a reflection of God’s justice of love. The Rev. Dub Karriker, pastor of the nondenominational Christian Assembly Church, said one thing he really loves about Durham is the diversity here. “The religious community is actively engaged in the affairs of the city,” Karriker said, but he thinks the community would like to see more cooperation from churches. He participates in groups such as Durham Ministers in Prayer, which includes Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian and Pentecostal ministers who pray together and build trust. Another group, BlessDurham, exists to draw the Christian community together through connections, prayer and service, he said. Karriker said he values the diversity in Durham and sees it as a strength, not a weakness.

RELIGION in Durham The Rev. Jerome J. Washington is senior pastor of Mt. Vernon Missionary Baptist Church. He thinks the faith community in Durham “is very serious in meeting and matching the challenges of ministry in an urban setting, and trying to create relevant ministry.” Washington mentioned several churches’ outreach work and youth programs, including a youth basketball leagues with more than 20 churches participating. His church sponsored four teams this past season. Like every city, he said, Durham also has denominational and ministerial gatherings and associations, too. The Rev. Katie Crowe, senior pastor at Trinity Avenue Presbyterian Church, said the religious community in Durham is extremely varied. “It’s a positive environment for clergy, collegial and easy to form relationships,” she said. “Durham has an independent character. There’s no prescribed way ministry in the city looks like. At Trinity Avenue Presbyterian, just our radius, there is diversity and a wide variety of needs,” Crowe said. She finds Durham an extremely energizing place and is amazed how diverse communities work together to build a better Durham, Crowe said. She said there’s an atmosphere of mutual respect among religious communities. “We can go farther together and I think people understand that,” Crowe said. ❚❙

at Hillandale Golf Course
The H.E.A.R.TS. Club is proud to be a part of the families of Dukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s PBMT Program and glad to be a part of the healing journey faced by so many children.
Hillandale Golf Course has developed a unique relationship with Duke Hospital and the Pediatric Blood and Marrow Transplant Program Children from around the world are brought to Duke Hospital to be treated for life-threatening diseases. The Family Support Program is in place at the hospital to help families deal with the tiresome battle of the disease and they look for opportunities that are healthy and full of family time. The mission of the Hillandale Golf Course H.E.A.R.T.S. Club (Hillandale Embracing A Really Tough Situation) is to provide a no cost nurturing golf environment for the children that are patients at the Duke Children's Hospital Pediatric and Marrow Transplant unit. This program and all its offerings are extended to the children's families and caregivers in order to ease the burden of their immediate journey by understanding the expense and emotional undertaking of fighting a deadly disease. The goal of this program is to foster an environment that will assist families on a healing journey for their children through the use of golf. Because the children cannot be around large groups of people due to their weakened immune systems caused by treatments, golf offers them a wonderful escape and experience.
Children receiving treatment and their family members can come to the golf course to get away from the disease, if only for a couple of hours. The caregivers who need to recharge their life's battery so they can return to the hospital and fight the good fight with their child are also encouraged to participate. There is no cost to the family; they may play golf, hit some range balls, take a golf cart ride or just sit and breathe the fresh air. The H.E.A.R.T.S. Club team just wants to help these very special children and their loving families. Karl Kimball, the Director of Golf at Hillandale, is president of The H.E.A.R.T.S. Club, a 501c3 Foundation Fran James, LPGA Class A Professional, leads the program at Hillandale
