Insurance Planning In Retirement:
Why It’s The Most Important Thing You Can Do
What about Long Term Care insurance? Have you ever been told it’s too expensive, you don’t need it, you can’t get it, Medicare will take care of it, or you can “self insure”? Now, be honest, I know you’ve heard it. What if we could show you how to get it for little to no cost? Would you consider it? Did you know that Medicare does not pay for Long Term Care (aside from a measly 100 days)? All it takes is one episode without proper coverage and you could be broke! A nursing home costs approximately $75,000 per year here in North Carolina, and the average length of stay is 2.5 – 3 years. Do the math and you’ll realize how those costs can really add up. A couple age 65 years or older has a 70% chance that at least one of them will need long term care, yet only about 10% of folks that age have a plan in place. You tell me, is that smart? And folks, it’s only going to get worse as people live longer. What about healthcare and medical costs in retirement? If you’re over age 65, are you paying too much for your Medicare Supplement plan? Did you know that plans are standardized by the government and benefits are identical for all the plans with the same letter? So, if you’re paying $200 a month for a plan that you could get for $100 a month from a different company, why would you do that? I simply don’t know that many people willing to “flush money down the toilet”!
The insurance company simply administers the process, manages the money, and they hope to make a profit doing so, but ultimately it is to benefit all of the insured. We have a saying here at JDS Wealth Management and our associated teams that goes like this: “ALL OF US ARE SMARTER/BETTER THAN ANY ONE OF US”. In other words, pooled knowledge and pooled assets can be powerful. So, let’s take a brief look at insurance planning in retirement. Life Insurance: Can be used for various things, because the death benefit is INCOME TAX FREE and cash value can grow TAX DEFERRED. 1) Safe growth of assets, 2) income replacement, 3) tax planning, 4) charitable giving, and 5) Long Term Care benefits - to name just a few. Long Term Care: Single or periodic premium options, can be attached to a life insurance contract or annuity contract to give tremendous leverage of your dollars, can also be structured with Return of Premium if benefits are not needed or you simply want to cash it in. Annuities: Can give you a personal family pension. Why not guarantee and protect (at least some of) your income, so you don’t have to constantly worry so much about what your investments are doing? Medicare Supplements: DON’T OVER PAY! Get in touch with Kelly at the office and she’ll run some numbers for you. Be sure to tune in to “The Safe Harbor Retirement Planning Show” every Saturday at 10am and Wednesday at 8am on WSIC AM 1400 & FM 100.7.

INSURANCE. Don’t you just hate that word? Those darn insurance companies are always out to screw us just so they can get rich and build bigger buildings, right? Has your financial adviser or broker ever told you that you don’t need life insurance now that you’re retired? That it’s only for when you’re younger and have kids and a big mortgage and a bunch of debt or other obligations. You certainly don’t need it to bury you, because you’ve got more than enough money to do that. Well – NEWS FLASH life insurance can be used for many James D. Stillman things that I’ll touch on later, so be careful of ignorant advice like what I just listed.
What about guaranteed income? Do you have a plan that “insures your income” for the rest of your life? You can set up a plan that’s like having your own personal family pension plan. I think that’s a good thing and everybody should explore the options. Ladies and gentlemen, here’s one simple question: Why do we have any kind of insurance? Think about it. It’s really very simple. It’s to ensure that you don’t have to pay a bill you can’t afford to pay or simply don’t want to pay. Insured “pooled assets” allows us to take advantage of this, and quite frankly, it’s a brilliant concept! It’s the old concept of “we’re in it together”.

Some people really like that sense of catharsis theater can bring. Theater allows you to experience deep emotions—without actually being at the hospital or at a crime scene. Powerful theater can make you want to hug your loved ones because you realize just how precious life is—but you haven’t had to endure a tragedy yourself.”

This summer has definitely been one for the books—temperature record books, that is. The sweltering heat will not ebb, making usual outdoor activities slightly less enjoyable. With residents looking for a way to beat the heat, our arts issue couldn’t have come at a better time. Slip inside a gallery or theater (and into the cool embrace of AC) and explore another side of the lake that we love. Brimming with talent, Lake Norman is the prime spot for checking out all kinds of artists—whether at a gallery opening or the latest stage production. In this issue, we go behind the scenes of some of our favorite venues, including the Art Depot in Mooresville, home to Mooresville Arts, and the Warehouse PAC, an intimate theater space that now includes a permanent home for Studio C Cinema. Find out what the visionaries behind these creative spaces have in mind for the future on pages 38 and 40. Plan ahead for the rest of the season’s arts events with our Fall Arts Preview on page 28. Look for interesting exhibits, from mixed media to watercolor, and a few festivals right around the corner. Of course, the art doesn’t stop at Lake Norman. We have your guide to a night out in the city and Charlotte’s top museums and galleries. Check out these social events for a different take on your favorite spots, like the Mint, Discovery Place, Gantt Center for African American Arts, and the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art—perfect for a cultured date night (page 54). While exploring art around the region, get a little creative yourself. You never know—we may see you at the next art crawl.

Q&A
Food for Thought
J
by JENN BAXTER
Jenny Brule, a Davidson resident, chef, and food writer who has written recipes for national magazines like Cooking Light, Shape, and Fitness, is releasing her first cookbook, “Learn to Cook 25 Southern Classics 3 Ways,” this September. After receiving her degree in Culinary Arts from Baltimore International Culinary College, she went on to study recipe development at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, N.Y., and later lived in Europe with her husband and four daughters for seven years. This book (which she refers to as her “fifth baby”) is a collection of her favorite recipes, as well as the stories and life experiences that inspired them. Brule gives us a sneak peek at what you can expect to find within its pages. How did you come up with the idea for this cookbook? Our family has owned a home in the South (in Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina) for over 16 years. I’ve been studying and absorbing Southern cuisine and culture that entire time. Southerners cherish their family recipes immensely, and I have such great respect for that. I thought it would be a solid jumping-off point from which to teach readers to cook. What is a “southern classic” to you? Southern food is at once intensely regional and intensely personal. People are extremely loyal to the foods and recipes that they love. The 25 classic recipes that I came up with are the ones that resonate most strongly with me—it’s not an exhaustive list. It’s just a start! How do the contemporary and international recipes differ from the classics? The contemporary versions update classic southern dishes by making them healthier. For some recipes, this means lowering the fat (as in the crunchy, oven-fried chicken spin on classic fried chicken), but for others, it means using healthier fats or making the dish more nutrient rich (as in my contemporary spin on classic tomato pie, which is made with a quinoa crust). The international versions pull ingredients that may be new or unfamiliar to people, like Hungarian paprika or fish sauce. You say this is a teaching cookbook. What does that mean? Can someone who has zero experience in the kitchen pick up this book and cook from it? Yes! I’ve spent my entire career teaching people how to cook—be that literally hands-on, in cooking classes, through my magazine writing, or for the past five years, on TV. I’m on WCNC every Sunday from 9:30 a.m. to 10 a.m., as well as an on-air chef for Charlotte Today. My aim has always been to encourage people to cook—from rookie to expert. This book is in step-by-step form. Every recipe

is well annotated with loads of tips and tricks—secrets that make cooking easier and the cook more successful. For me, cooking is an expression of love. You also incorporate stories in this cookbook. Why was that important to you to include, and are they stories about the recipes themselves? Cooking and food are in every fiber of my being; that is not an overstatement. I filter my surroundings, my experiences, and my life through what I’ve cooked or eaten. Bringing my voice into the book, making it a narrative book with lots of recipes, gives the reader a feeling that they are cooking with a friend. Perfection is overrated. There is a lot of self-depreciation in the book because that’s honestly me and, also, I hope that it puts the reader at ease. Jenny kicks off her national book tour with a reading at Main Street Books in Davidson on Sept. 8.

Recipe
Spice Things Up by JENN BAXTER
R
Rob and Evelyn Dixon first packaged their spice mix in 2012, as Christmas gifts for family and friends. The overwhelming response was so positive, that the couple decided to start selling it. Since then, they’ve produced over 1,400 bottles of the mix, which contains salt, chili powder, mustard seed, and cayenne pepper, among other spices. In 2015, they also released the Dixon Farm Flavorings Cookbook, a collection of recipes that were contributed in memory of lost loved ones. One hundred percent of proceeds from the cookbook go to charities like Angels of ’97, Angels & Sparrows Soup Kitchen, and Hope House. You can find Dixon Farm Flavorings Cookbook in over a dozen retail stores in the Lake Norman area, like The Bradford Store and FarmFresh, as well as online at www.dixonfarmflavorings. com. You can also find them at the Huntersville Growers Market on Saturday mornings from 8 a.m. to noon in the Huntersville Elementary School parking lot, located at 200 Gilead Road.
Crockpot Creamed Corn Ingredients: 16-24 ounces fresh or frozen corn kernels ½ cup unsalted butter 8 ounces light cream cheese (or regular cream cheese) 8 ounces light cream (or heavy cream) 2 tablespoons Dixon Farm Flavorings (Original or Low Sodium) 4 ounces parmesan cheese Note: You can double this recipe for a full crockpot. Directions: 1. Stir the butter and cream cheese together with the Dixon Farm Flavorings (you will achieve the best results when butter and cream cheese are at room temperature). You can also add more DFF if you want a bolder taste.
2. Place the mixture in the crockpot and stir in the corn.
3. Mix well and cook on low heat for 3 hours, stirring occasionally.
4. Add the parmesan cheese to the top and allow to simmer for another 15 minutes.

Art With Heart
The Mooresville Art Depot is a charming arts center in historic downtown.
I
by PIPER ANDERSON
It’s a Friday morning, and kids are painting in an old warehouse supported by rustic floors and wooden beams that dangle with twinkle lights. It’s summer camp at the Mooresville Art Depot: the radio blasts and children spread art across the walls so that color is splashed everywhere. In the next room, boxes are wheeled in with photographs and wheeled out with paintings as new exhibits are hung. A train rumbles by outside, and inside there’s a flurry of activity as the morning quickly turns into the afternoon. The Art Depot is a visual arts center run by Mooresville Arts, a nonprofit guided by the simple but important mission of providing art to the community. Sitting on Main Street, the Depot is small and unassuming. But if you look a little closer, you can see the place is special. It goes back to what’s important: a simple love for art, and a desire to brighten a town with that love. It showcases new talent, providing burgeoning artists with an avenue for recognition. It gives back to the community with programs like art outreach at senior homes and programs for children. For those who want to express themselves and learn a little, there
Anne Harkness, “Night Joy”
are watercolor classes, acrylics classes, and live modeling classes. Essentially, the Depot welcomes people to come in and enjoy art. “I like having a community arts center where art is displayed, it’s taught, it has the involvement of the community, where we’re expanding programs and looking for new ways to be involved with the community,” says Jeannine Tieri, the treasurer for Mooresville Arts. “I’m really enjoying watching it develop into something that is

for everyone. You shouldn’t have to go into Charlotte to see art, and you don’t have to.” Mooresville Arts started 61 years ago as a group of artists who liked to paint together. Now it’s grown into a well-established arts center that displays new exhibits each month. What used to be a train depot has now become a meeting place for writing groups, and a rehearsal place for drama groups. “We have people who come in who will drive 30, 40 miles just to paint on Wednesday afternoon for two hours,” says Ellen Patterson, the public relations director for Mooresville Arts. The quality of work at the Depot has gotten recognition not just locally, but from across the Piedmont—people living throughout the region come and participate in competitions. “We have really made a name for ourselves over the past couple of years. Our judges are astounded at the quality of our work,” Patterson says. As they should be. The Depot has attracted internationally known workshop instructors like Sterling Edwards and Zoltan Szabo. It has hosted the American Water Color Society’s travel exhibit—one of six stops the exhibit goes to in the U.S.—and so has had the best of the best watercolorists within its walls. In November and December of this year the Depot will host the watercolor society once again—“They ask us now,” Patterson says. Over 10,000 people a year come to the different exhibits. The very popular “Women Painting Women” exhibit, now in its fifth year, will premier in August. As can be expected, the turnout is huge in March for the youth exhibit, which is open to kindergarteners through 12th-graders. The Depot isn’t without its issues, though. The building itself needs to be renovated to make it more efficient and more handicap accessible. Although the gallery is air-conditioned and heated, the attached warehouse is not. “The building is a challenge to us because we’d like to have more programs
Get Lake Ready.
Sandie Bell, “Sparkle The Storyteller”
for children, adults, and vets, but we can only use half the building half the time,” Tieri says. “So, we need funding to make improvements so we can use the rest of that building. And there are a lot of cosmetic things we’re working on so that it will be a more aesthetic experience.” Mooresville Arts has worked with an architect specializing in historic buildings to make plans for an updated arts center complete with better facilities. However, they don’t have enough money for the renovations, so the major hurdle right now is fundraising. The Depot gets most of its money from membership fees. Entirely volunteer run, it exists by the sheer might of the people who love it and dedicate their precious time to keeping the doors open. This is an important mission, too—a survey by the Town of Mooresville’s Cultural, Parks, and Recreation department found that art classes were in the top five of the most highly prioritized programs ranked by the community. “The arts bring people into the communities,” Patterson says. “They bring a quality to the community that you don’t get if the arts aren’t there.” And it certainly feels like a community here on this Friday morning. There’s a gift shop tucked away in the corner of the gallery stocked with jewelry handmade by locals and whimsical sculptures carved by neighbors. Kids laugh and create beautiful art together. Next door, artists gather to create a new talent-filled exhibit. Mooresville Arts started as a gathering place for friends to paint, and it has stayed true to its origins. Through gallery visits and membership meetings, people have come together who might never have met otherwise. The art makes the Depot special, but the people do, too. www.mooresvillearts. org LNM

Small, but Mighty The Warehouse offers powerful plays, indie cinema, and more in a tiny—and unlikely—venue. by PAGE LEGGETT • photos by JUSTIN DRISCOLL
The creative team behind Warehouse PAC, Bob Maier and Marla Brown.
W
When you oversee a 60-seat theater, people assume your goal is to move to a bigger space. “But intimacy is the point,” says Marla Brown, the actress, producer, and director who founded the Warehouse Performing Arts Center in 2010. “Nuance can be lost in a bigger theater.” Brown is unafraid to program the small space—in an actual Cornelius warehouse—with plays you may not have heard of. And plays that pack a wallop. I was undone in 2013 during the one-woman play, “The Amish Project.” Playwright Jessica Dickey took the massacre of Amish schoolchildren in their one-room Lancaster County, Penn. schoolhouse, and developed characters—some fictional, some based on real people—to tell the story. Annette Saunders played all seven, including the gunman and two of his small victims. As an emotionally exhausted Saunders exited the stage, she was in tears. So was the audience. Director Davida Cook noticed my tears (OK, sobs) and squeezed my shoulder as she walked by. The play highlighted the worst humanity is capable of—but also the best. (Almost immediately after the 2006 murders, the Amish community forgave the killer and offered comfort to his widow. It was an extraordinary act of grace.)
40
lakenormanmagazine.com AUGUST 2016
Yet only about 40 people saw the show during its three-week run at the Warehouse PAC. “I’d love a do-over on that one,” Brown says. “Sometimes, in our selection of a drama, we go too far. That was just a hard sell, a marketing challenge. And note to the playwright: You can’t call your play—about the massacre of children—’The Amish Project’ and expect people will want to see it.”
‘Dying Geniuses’ Brown understands that, just because she likes a good cry, doesn’t mean everyone does. We’re not all as fearless as Marla Brown. When she portrayed the lead in “Wit”—a professor battling ovarian cancer—she shaved her head for the role. But she doesn’t see anything daring about that. “I’ve had a bad-hair life,” she jokes. “If I had Farrah Fawcett locks, I might’ve felt differently. But I’d do it again. I love that play.” Anne Lambert, who has acted, directed, and produced at the Warehouse, jokes that Brown specializes in playing “dying geniuses.” She’s also played a scientist convinced she has a brain

tumor (although she really has dementia) in “The Other Place” at the now-closed Carolina Actors Studio Theatre. Yet Lambert says the real-life Brown is “fundamentally all about having a good time.” Brown, a Mooresville resident and mother of two, looks for “uncommon plots” in the plays she chooses: “We don’t want just another love story between pretty people in their 20s or 30s.” She aims for “meaty comedies and dramedies.” “I’ll Eat You Last” (a one-woman play with Lambert commanding the stage as Sue Mengers, a caustic Hollywood agent to A-list stars whose career is on the skids) was just that. It had the power to make you laugh and break your heart. Lambert says Brown’s theater is a gift, of sorts, to the community: “Marla makes it easy on audiences. She’s set up this intimate theater in a very suburban setting. There’s nothing intimidating about it.”
A Sense of Catharsis Coming up next is “5 Lesbians Eating A Quiche” (Sept. 9 through 24), a comedy that’s more than a confection. Sarah Provencal will
direct a cast of highly regarded actresses, including Chickspeare’s Joanna Gerdy. (Brown insists on hiring great talent and looks for material worthy of them.) The 75-minute comedy won best overall production at the 2012 New York International Fringe Festival. The New York Times’ Ben Brantley declared the play “destined to attract a cult following” and advised it’s best enjoyed after a few drinks. The Warehouse can accommodate. Wine, beer, and snacks greet you when you walk in the door. Lambert, who’s seen the play but isn’t in this production, says, “It’s so irreverent. It takes five 1950s housewives in a tranquil suburban setting and then sounds a nuclear alarm and—boom.” The domestic veneer is blown off. November brings “Ripcord,” a comedy that was on Broadway just last year. Brown calls the play “hilarious with a deep, deep heart.” The Pulitzer Prize-winning David Lindsay-Abaire pits two female nursing home residents—one a little too chipper—against each other. It’s funny and smart—just the niche Brown is happy to occupy. She remains committed to giving audiences something to ponder when we leave the theater.

Marla Brown’s Warehouse PAC gave Bob Maier’s Studio C Cinema a permanent home for movie screenings and film classes that are always at capacity.
“Some people really like that sense of catharsis theater can bring,” she says. (Those of us engaged in the group cry after “The Amish Project” certainly did.) “Theater allows you to experience deep emotions—without actually being at the hospital or at a crime scene. Powerful theater can make you want to hug your loved ones because you realize just how precious life is— but you haven’t had to endure a tragedy yourself.”
An Anti-Multiplex There’s more to the small space than theater. Writing workshops and acting classes (like Shakespeare for girls and improv for people 55 and up), live music, and staged readings are programmed there, and every other weekend, the space becomes a pop-up arthouse cinema. Bob Maier, Davidson Film Club founder, recently merged his Studio C Cinema into the Warehouse after a year of screening classic, foreign, and indie films there. He’s finally got a home base after being nomadic for a few years. He not only has a permanent home for his film series and cinema appreciation classes (which draw capacity crowds), but he has a permanent home for his 20 feet-by-12-feet screen and sound system, which he describes as “immersive.” “This is very different from watching a movie on your iPad in your airplane seat,” Maier says. “You notice things on the big
42
lakenormanmagazine.com AUGUST 2016
screen you didn’t see on a smaller screen.” And he loves pointing out what to look for in a film. “There’s more to movies than ‘Does the guy get the girl in the end,’” he says. In his film classes at The Warehouse, he teaches people to look at plot, symbolism—even the way certain shots were filmed. The Warehouse is a music venue, too. “Our size makes us more intimate than a bar,” Brown says. “We have great acoustics. Musicians like playing here because people come to listen. They’re not just background music.” Far from being a drawback, the intimacy of the place is perhaps its greatest asset. Lambert loves its size: “It hearkens back to the Algonquin roundtable or Gertrude Stein’s Paris salons.” Brown will keep taking big risks in that small space. And she’ll keep challenging audiences. She’s not going to stage a fluffy production just to fill seats. She respects her audience too much for that. “There are no small parts,” the old saying goes. “Only small actors.” But there are small stages. And that’s just fine with Marla Brown. The Warehouse is at 9216-A Westmoreland Road in Cornelius. Memberships for the cinema series are available. Ten tickets— good for a full year—are $80. A couple gets two memberships for $145. www.warehousepac.com LNM

It’s one thing for a novice restaurateur to try to duplicate the success of a fresh, well-executed concept. It’s quite another for one of the region’s smartest real estate developers to knock on your door and tap your restaurant to anchor one of the most widely watched, highly anticipated, and carefully planned mixed-use developments at the lake in years. That’s precisely the experience Jed Kampe, founder and owner of Block &
48
lakenormanmagazine.com AUGUST 2016
Grinder, had when RL West reached out two summers ago, coaxing him into bringing his wildly successful butcher shop cum Southern steak house concept, created in Cotswold, up to Langtree Lake Norman in Mooresville. “After opening Cotswold in 2013 and experiencing success from early on, I saw opportunities a larger space would allow us to build upon,” says Kampe. “Catering, private dining, and an expanded retail component to offer not just hand-cut
steaks and our special ground beef, but charcuterie, prepared items, fresh produce, and artisanal breads.” At more than twice the square footage of the original, Block & Grinder Langtree is a visual stunner delivering on all of Kampe’s wishes. Charlotte design whiz Elizabeth Mydosh brings the huge space down to size with clever partitioning and a palate of cool grey and off-white interiors playing against the signature blond maple butcher block tables. Funky found-object
fixtures and accent pieces deliver a vibe that encourages lingering.
Southern Inspiration Executive Chef Ben Philpott’s menu, keenly executed by rising star and Chef de Cuisine Ethan Moyer, is one that requires study and assiduous choices. Philpott’s offerings are informed as much from his youthful experiences working on his grandparents’ Alabama
farm as from his classical French culinary training. “Part of doing things right is recognizing your food is only as good as the quality of the ingredients,” says Philpott, a devout meat lover and a prideful chef whose proteins are simply prepared and accented with southern-inspired flair. Case in point: the beef tenderloin tartare. A generous dome of buttery tenderloin, fruity olive oil, lemon juice, and
house-pickled mustard seeds is kissed with barrel-rested brown gin gastrique and topped with a leek confit and oniony strips fried perfectly crisp. Philpott’s choice of Cardinal Gin, distilled locally and aged in oak barrels in Kings Mountain, provides a smoky complement to the starter, helping prime one’s appetite for what’s to come. Before heading to the main event, however, diners are in for a treat with anything-but-standard fried green tomatoes. Moyer gets the nod here as

his preparation combines tart tomatoey green wedges, a dust of seasoned cornmeal, and flour for a quick fry. He nestles these over peppery arugula, a basil emulsion, and the ultra-ripe and flavorful heirloom Cherokee Purple tomatoes. Make no mistake—beef is the star at Block & Grinder. Burgers and steaks are celebrated. A proprietary mix of grass-fed brisket, shortrib, and chuck mixed with grain-finished trimmings creating a juicy rich flavor profile. Steaks come from nearby Mills Family Farm—one display of B&G’s meticulous choices in sourcing local beef providers. A perfectly grilled porterhouse with rich compound butter satisfied with no additional adornment beyond salt and pepper. Poultry gets the royal treatment as Philpott’s play on the French classic Duck a l’Orange combines in-house smoked thigh and leg meat with seared rare breast, fingerling potatoes, pickled red onions, orange, and a rich duck demi glaze. Cocktails are a priority with B&G’s Gin Basil Smash, Kentucky Mule, and the B&G Old Fashioned leading the charge of specialty drinks. Splurgers can ditch their diets by capping it all with a B&G Hot Fudge Sundae. Burnt bourbon ice cream, chocolate ganache, and candied pecans all dance in a mélange that assuages any guilt. www.blockandgrinder.com LNM

Bike Cornelius initiative is making inroads in establishing biker friendly community.
“
“Share the road” is a well-worn mantra that implores motorists to recognize that automobiles are not the only method of transportation, as cyclists are taking to the streets in growing numbers. Recognizing the enthusiasm and increased demand for safe and accessible options for biking, the Town of Cornelius has developed a Bicycle Master Plan that lays the framework for policy development, an expanded cycling infrastructure, as well as short-term and long-range steps to establishing Cornelius as a welcoming community for those on two wheels. “We want to focus our development on connectivity and finding ways to be pedestrian and bicycle friendly like neighboring Davidson,” says Town of Cornelius senior planner Jason Pauling. With the help of a bicycle planning grant from the North Carolina Department of Transportation, the town began work on a master plan in 2014. “It’s very important for the community to be well connected, which means inclusivity for all modes of transportation,” says
52
lakenormanmagazine.com AUGUST 2016
Pauling. “While there is a large contingent of avid cyclers, we know there are other, more casual cyclists interested, though also concerned about access and safety. We want our efforts to facilitate more ridership and address the concerns of all cyclists.” Pauling noted the plan, a draft completed earlier this year, is awaiting adoption from the town board and the state. It focuses on five key areas: creating safe and convenient places to ride and park, educational efforts geared at skill and confidence building, creating a strong bicycle culture that celebrates cycling, enforcing traffic laws and ensuring roadway safety for all riders, and continuing planning and evaluation of cycling as a viable transportation option.
Project prioritization Key projects prioritized in the plan include a multi-use path connection to Jetton Park and the development of a pathway

C L A S S I C A LU X U RY along the Westmoreland Road Bridge connecting to existing greenways and serving as part of a near-term connection for the Emerald Necklace greenway loop. High-priority area roadways identified for possible retrofits include speed limit reduction and a bike lane/cycle track along N. Main Street/NC 115 (between Catawba Avenue and Potts Street), speed limit reduction along Washam Potts Road (between NC 115 and Bailey Road), and speed limit reduction and shared-use path along Bailey Road (between NC 115 and Mayes Road). “There are many elements involved in making the community bicycle friendly,” says Pauling. “We’re identifying ‘lowstress bike routes,’ with signage and maps for fun rides over existing roadways. We work to piggy-back on existing greenway projects and take advantage of resurfacing and widening roadway projects to incorporate bike paths, signage, and the ‘complete streets’ approach of NCDOT.” The Town of Cornelius also organizes community rides and bike expos, and wants residents to weigh in on future cycling plans. Cycling advocate and area resident Jane Cacchionne is enthusiastic about the movement she’s seeing. “It’s encouraging to see there is a plan in place along with the authority and resources to address the recognized need the area has for cycling,” says Cacchione, a member of the steering committee that contributed to development of the Bike Cornelius Master Plan. “Cycling provides us with another way to move around. Viewing cycling as a transportation option, not simply a means of recreation, is an important aspect of making our community more attractive for everyone.” More information about upcoming events and the Master Plan status is available at www.cornelius.org.

For 250 years well-heeled visitors have retreated to the Omni Homestead Resort for cool weather, hot springs, and bygone pleasures. by ALISON MILLER

Four hours north of Lake Norman, in verdant southwestern Virginia, sits a legendary resort where August overnight temps dip into the 50s and daytime pursuits range from archery to off-road Segway tours. Here, you can ride an American Quarter Horse or try your (gloved) hand at falconry, then sip scotch on the front porch as a horse-drawn carriage delivers well-coiffed visitors from a leisure ride. The resort is older than our country itself, and though modern amenities have been added over the years, its keepers have been careful to preserve its genteel roots. Wander the grounds and you’ll spot several stone gazebos shielding the naturally heated mineral water pools that put this place on the map. In 1761 Captain Thomas Bullitt, a militiaman in the French and Indian War, set up a rustic homesteader’s camp here after receiving a land grant from George Washington. Five years later, Bullitt built an 18-room lodge—home base for the outdoor enthusiasts’ playground that has evolved over the past two and a half centuries. Hydrotherapy pioneer Dr. Thomas Goode took the reins in 1832, passionately promoting the healing hot springs. The resort’s reputation and accessibility continued to grow in the late 19th century after prominent Cincinnati attorney M.E. Ingalls recruited a band of aristocratic cohorts to bankroll the hotel’s expansion, along with a railroad spur that would ferry visitors from far and wide. For a throwback soak, head to the historic Jefferson Pools, five miles up the road from the Homestead (a resort shuttle will take

you). Shaded from the sun by a 255-yearold pavilion, the men’s pool—the very waterhole Thomas Jefferson basked in to ease the pains of rheumatism in 1818—is America’s first spa building. A second women’s pool opened in 1836. Still today, their crystal-clear waters remain a constant 98 degrees, year-round. The hotel’s 483 rooms are interconnected by hallways wide enough to drive a car through. Though the bulk of the resort was lost to a fire in 1901, it was quickly rebuilt, and over the years has expanded and grown ever more refined: It’s still gleaming from a $25 million renovation and expansion in 2014. The serene, newly updated spa offers experiential showers, radiant-heated loungers, an aromatic steam room, and 28 treatment rooms. Outside, the adults-only Spa Garden sports a heated outdoor pool, reflexology walk, and of course, a geothermal soaking pool. An on-site Adventure Center ensures no one—even kids—gets bored. By day, go fly-fishing, hiking, or play a game of croquet on the lush lawn. Kids won’t want to leave Allegheny Springs, the two-acre pool complex replete with water slides, lazy river, and aquatic play zone. Next door, two nine-hole mini golf courses are a fine place to dry off. The best view of the resort and its lush, undulating environs comes from the hilltop Shooting Club, a pristine facility with trap and skeet fields, a forested sporting

clay course, and a rifle range. As if that weren’t enough, two championship golf courses and a gorgeous equestrian center round out the activities roster. Old-school civility is alive and well here. If you’ve been waiting to bust out the white slacks and navy blazer, now’s the time. Kick off the evening with Mrs. Virginia’s whiskey sour in the lobby bar—a nod to Virginia Strasser, who this year celebrates her 67th year as a cashier at the resort. Another longtime staffer, stoic maître’d Woody Pettus, stands watch over the formal main dining room. If you don’t feel like dressing for dinner, kick back at Jefferson’s Grill, a modern sports bar that segues into a handsome dining room where steaks and chops team up with decadent sides. The resort also shuttles visitors to two off-site restaurants—Rubino’s, housed in the former summer home of 1920s playboy Jacob Rubino, and Sam Snead’s Tavern, named for the pro golfer who called this area home. Perhaps the most fitting way to celebrate the Homestead’s 250th anniversary? Don your ball gown and reserve a spot at the black-tie-optional gala, held the third Saturday of every month in 2016. Think tuxedoed three-piece band, champagne toasts, and plenty of crab gratinée. Leave your iPhone in your room and party like it’s 1766.

The resort is older than our country itself; its keepers have been careful to preserve its genteel roots.

teve Marsh took this photo earlier this summer on Northwest Drive in Davidson. “We were on the way home after the Concert on the Green and I noticed a lot of clouds on the western horizon,” Marsh says. “That often times makes for some nice sunset shots. I was not disappointed.”
