Talk of the Town
What the heck is a financial planner anyway? And is yours right for you?
I’m a big believer in what my grandfather and father taught me over the years growing up in Wisconsin: Don’t be a jack of all trades and master of none. It’s fine to be “good” at a lot of things, but to be a “master” or “expert” (commonly known as a professional) at certain things is desirable, especially when it comes to financial planning, retirement planning, and health care planning. These are serious issues, and many times folks don’t get a “do over” if things get screwed up! So let’s have a brief discussion about different types of people who call themselves “financial planners/advisors”. Insurance Agents: Insurance agents are licensed to sell various types of insurance products such as health insurance, life insurance, long term care insurance, annuities, home & car insurance, etc. They get paid commissions to do so, and that’s fine. Being a licensed Life & Health, and Medicare & Long Term Care agent myself, I can tell you there is no way any insurance agent can be a “master” at all of them (in my opinion)! Most agents will focus on a particular part of the insurance market and become as skilled as possible at that segment, and I personally think that’s a good thing. Having a good insurance agent is vital when it comes to retirement & estate planning for your “safe dollars” and “legacy planning”. But there’s a word of caution I must point out: If your insurance agent is not securities licensed, then they are not legally supposed to discuss securities/ investments or move securities into insurance products, even if the insurance product (such as a fixed annuity) might be the best thing for you. Regulators have become increasingly aware of this and have been cracking down on insurance agents giving “investment advice” when they are not properly licensed and registered to do so. So, be careful of what advice you get from your “insurance licensed only” advisor.
mutual funds, or any other security their brokerage firm offers. Like insurance agents, typically they get paid a commission to do so, and again that’s fine. We’re all entitled to get paid for providing a service. But does that make your stock broker a financial planner? Let’s just say, not always. Are they registered to give and charge for investment advice? Again, not always. In my opinion, stock brokers fall into the “accumulation phase” of your life. Their job is to grow your portfolio, and that requires more risk. That’s fine when you’re younger and have time on your side to deal with the ups and downs of the market, but maybe not so much when you’re older – in my opinion anyway. Registered Investment Advisors: RIAs are registered to give investment advice and charge a fee for their services. Many RIAs are “fee-only” advisors, but many are both insurance licensed and securities licensed (we are dual-licensed at JDS Wealth Management). RIAs have a fiduciary standard that they must adhere to, which means that the client’s interests must be put first. A lot of other types of advisors are only held to a suitability standard, which simply means that the things they recommend must be “suitable” for you and not necessarily the best thing for you. In my opinion, dual-licensed independent RIAs offer the best non-biased advice when it comes to virtually any kind of planning. At our firm, we are dual licensed, so we get paid in various ways depending on whether we’re using insurance products or securities products. So, you get the best of both worlds, so to speak. So, ask questions and know who you’re dealing with when it comes to your finances. Until next month, James D. Stillman

Looks like fall is in the air and before you know it there will be “frost on the pumpkin”! I have to confess that I love this time of year for the weather and beauty of North Carolina. The only bad part is that it’s time to pull the boat out and wait until spring to enjoy beautiful Lake Norman again. Anyway, let’s get on to this month’s topic. Have you ever been confused about all the different kinds of “financial advisors” and what they actually do? If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the last twenty years in the financial services profession, it’s that things can get really confusing for consumers! The financial services business has become highly specialized, like many other professions, and that’s both good and bad.

Editor’s Note
A
As we finished work on this issue, it was finally starting to feel like fall. A rainy fall, but the beloved season nonetheless. It wasn’t absurd to drink hot coffee and break out the boots. Once the weather turns from summer to fall, suddenly the holidays (and lots of home entertaining) are right around the corner. That’s the inspiration behind this issue. Whether your entire extended family comes to your house for the season, or you’re
hosting—or attending—your first “Friendsgiving,” coordinating an event is no small task. November is the perfect month to explore all the facets of home entertaining. From what to wear to what to cook, we have an extensive guide to help ease some holiday stress. Dying to try something not-quite-so-traditional for a dinner party? Follow Chef Troy Gagliardo’s step-by-step guide to a modern Southern family-style meal and impress all of your out-of-town guests (p. 52). Need some décor inspiration? Take a look at our fall fashion editorial on page 44, featuring in-style accents from Pottery Barn. I love how much fall inspiration we were able to fit into this issue. Lastly, I would like to thank everyone who came out to our beer collaboration release cially over delicious beer.

While we do make the tough decision as to what makes it to print, there are always other shots that we love, but just didn’t have the space. From this month’s fashion editorial, we not only have beautiful photos that didn’t make it in the magazine, but we also have behind-the-scenes photography and video.

SCHOOL SPIRIT D
avidson Farmers Market food artisan, Kelli Swick, has created a new product that gives a nod to the town of Davidson and the Davidson College Wildcats. Named “Wildcat Crunch,” the new granola product is a decadent blend of rich goodness, while using health-conscious ingredients.

Holiday Magic
N
by JENN BAXTER
Northlake Mall will celebrate Christmas in an exciting way this year, with the introduction of the “Ultimate Santa Adventure”—an interactive experience from the creative minds at DreamWorks Animation. Sherri Chisolm-Whiteside, marketing director for Northlake Mall, tells us all about the new experience that is sure to be a hit with children and parents alike.
How did Northlake get connected with DreamWorks Animation? DreamWorks Animation, the global family entertainment brand known for award-winning storytelling and industryleading innovation, chose Northlake Mall as one of just 14 locations around the world during the 2015 holiday season to feature this attraction. We are thrilled to bring the Ultimate Santa Adventure—a DreamWorks DreamPlace—to our guests at Northlake Mall starting Nov. 6. The Ultimate Santa Adventure is unlike any Santa experience we’ve hosted previously; it’s a must-visit destination for the holiday season.
What can visitors expect when they visit Northlake Mall’s Ultimate Santa Adventure? A favorite family tradition with an animated, magical twist. The Ultimate Santa Adventure combines Christmas visits with Santa and ultra-modern technological wizardry to deliver a visual marvel that will delight children of all ages. It features characters from the beloved Shrek universe and has fun and interactive activities to engage visiting families as they set out on their adventure to see Santa Claus with their dedicated DreamGuide.
Will visitors still get a traditional photo with Santa as well? Absolutely. The journey begins with Shrek and ends with a visit to Santa Claus. When it’s time to visit Santa, each family will have
28
lakenormanmagazine.com NOVEMBER 2015
a private experience in Santa’s study. Every child’s visit with Santa will be personalized—complete with a keepsake photo of the unforgettable experience.
Instead of standing in line for hours, can customers make reservations for their Ultimate Santa Adventure? Yes, this is a great feature and it’s easy. The journey starts at home. Simply go to www.ShopNorthlake.com, and click on the banner that reads “Ultimate Santa Adventure.” This will take you to the first step in booking your online reservation for up to five people for $35, and up to eight people for $75. It’s very similar to booking a flight online. When families book their adventure, they are provided with a check-in time to receive their boarding pass for their journey. After checking in at Northlake Mall at the designated time, families are introduced to their personal guides and prepare for takeoff within 15 minutes. No more long lines!
When can families log on to reserve their spot? Families can reserve their Ultimate Santa Adventure today through our newly online reservation system. The Ultimate Santa Adventure will be at Northlake Mall from Nov. 6 to Dec. 24. We recommend reserving your Ultimate Santa Adventure online to ensure you get the date and time that works best for your family.
What else is Northlake Mall doing to celebrate the holiday season? Northlake Mall will continue its tradition of family friendly MallStars Kids Club events that include music, crafts, and fun during the holiday season for kids ages 10 and under. Join us Nov. 14 for Breakfast with Santa and enjoy breakfast and story time with Santa. Then ring in 2016 with “Noon Year’s Eve” on Dec. 31, which includes a fun-filled balloon drop as the clock strikes noon. Find the details at www. ShopNorthlake.com.

Seasonal Snack by JENNY BRULE

These Roasted Italian Tomato Puffs are a ridiculously easy and an impressive bite-size appetizer. They pack in a lot of flavor and look so pretty with the red tomato balanced on top. Added bonus—they’re also vegetarian, an option all of your guests can snack on.
Roasted Italian Tomato Puffs Ingredients: Cherry tomatoes, washed, left whole (You will need one tomato per appetizer). Drizzle of olive oil Frozen puff pastry sheets (not cups), thawed according to package directions Tapenade or pesto (homemade or store bought) Shredded or small cubes of European cheese: Mozzarella, Fontina, Taleggio, even Brie
32
lakenormanmagazine.com NOVEMBER 2015
Preparation:
1. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Prick each tomato with the tip of a sharp paring knife twice. Toss the tomatoes in olive oil. Roast for about 10 minutes, until just limp and losing some juice. Set aside. Keep the oven on.
2. Unroll the pastry. Use a 2-inch-round cookie cutter to cut out as many hors d’oeuvres as you want.
3. Spoon the tapenade into a small plastic sandwich bag, and squeeze it into one corner of the bag. Cut off the tip of the corner, leave the top unsealed—this will work as a pastry bag. Squeeze a bit of tapenade into the center of each pastry dough round, then top with a bit of cheese. At this point, these can be frozen, ready to pop into the oven on a moments notice—otherwise, carry on with the recipe.
4. Place the pastry rounds onto a baking tray and bake until just golden and bubbly, roughly 15 minutes. Top with a roasted cherry tomato and serve hot.

Dinner Party Troy Gagliardo, host of “Troy’s Everyday Eats” on WCCB Charlotte and author of Pseudo Southern Cook Book, shares his secrets for preparing a Southern meal with family and friends. by TROY GAGLIARDO • photos by RICHARD RUDISILL

Welcoming family and friends into your home for a great meal can be stressful. Around the holiday season it can be even more taxing. However, a well-laid plan and working clean, neat, and organized is calming. It’s all about the set up. Whether you are thinking of taking on this monumental
task yourself or plan to incorporate some help, you will need a solid plan. Once you have decided on the style of meal, then you can start menu planning.

Menu Design Designing a menu for your dinner party is sometimest the hardest part. Often, coming up with a food theme or the structure the meal should take requires as much thought and effort as the meal itself. There are three ways of getting your guests their food—and all are acceptable in any situation or circumstance. However family style is the most engaging and personable.
Composed Plate
Main meal is in the form of one composed dish, as well as dessert
Braised pork shank with hoppin john, served over rice
Plated Dinner
Host assembles each individual plate
Prime rib with au jus, mashed potatoes, green beans, and slice of pumpkin pie
Family Style
Each dish served on large serving platters
Platters of deviled eggs, green salad, fried chicken, mac and cheese, and cobbler
Perfect Timing After choosing the style concept and menu, now it is time to get organized. Much like a restaurant, a dinner party needs to be thought out and planned, from shopping to serving.
• Assemble salad without croutons and dressing. Cover and refrigerate. • Make cobbler filling, place in skillet.
Prep • Read each recipe completely and make shopping list. • Check on hand pantry items such as spices for freshness. • Shop at least two “full” days before dinner party. This will allow for plenty of prep time and staging of prep dishes.
Two days before • Shop and prep supporting ingredients. • Boil and peel eggs for deviled eggs. • Cube cornbread, rinse and drain black-eyed peas. • Grate cheese, cook pasta, and toast bread crumbs for mac and cheese. • Cut chicken into frying pieces.
Day before • Halve eggs, remove yolks, make deviled filling. • Make cornbread croutons, fry black-eyed peas, make dressing. • Wash and spin-dry collards and mustard greens, and store in plastic zip bags.
3 hours till Dinner Party • Drain chicken and leave at room temperature for 30 minutes. • Make sauce for mac and cheese, place in a casserole dish.
fold in pasta and cheese, and
2.5 hours till Dinner Party • Dredge chicken in flour, let rest for 30 minutes, preheat lard
2 hours till Dinner Party • Bake cobbler and leave at room temperature. • Dredge chicken second time, fry in batches and hold in warm oven.
1 hour till Dinner Party • Top mac and cheese with bread crumbs and bake. • Set up platters as guests arrive.
• Marinate chicken in buttermilk and hot sauce.
• Set out deviled eggs.
• Make crumble for cobbler, cut and grill peaches.
• Top salad with croutons and set out with dressing on side.
Morning of Dinner Party • Squeeze deviled filling into egg halves. Then plate, cover, and refrigerate.

• Set out mac and cheese. • Remove chicken from oven, place on serving platter, and set out. • Serve guests. • Set out cobbler with whipped cream or ice cream.
Buttermilk Fried Chicken 1 each, 3-pound fry chicken 2 cups of buttermilk 1 to 2 tablespoons of Tabasco hot sauce 2 tablespoons of kosher salt 4 teaspoons of black pepper 4 cups of self-rising flour Lard or canola oil Directions 1. Cut chicken into eight pieces: wings, legs, thighs, and breast. Place chicken in a large zip bag.
2. Combine buttermilk and hot sauce in a mixing bowl and add to the bag with chicken.
3. Marinate overnight, but not more than 24 hours. 4. Set chicken out at room temperature 30 minutes before starting. 5. Season flour with salt and pepper. 6. Drain chicken from buttermilk, dredge chicken in flour (save the flour), and place on a sheet tray.
7. Allow breaded chicken to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
8. Heat 2 to 3 inches of lard or oil in a large iron skillet or Dutch oven to 350 degrees slowly over medium heat.
9. When lard/oil reaches 350 degrees, dredge the legs and thighs in flour a second time and gently place in skillet.
10. Slightly raise heat if needed (to maintain temperature) and allow chicken to cook for about two minutes.
11. Using long-handled metal tongs, carefully turn each piece and allow to cook for two minutes before flipping again.
12. Continue to flip pieces every couple of minutes or so until an instantread thermometer reaches 160 degrees and the chicken is golden brown.
13. Remove and place on a paper-towel-lined sheet tray and repeat process with chicken breasts and wings.
14. Chicken can be held on sheet tray in warm oven (175 degrees) with oven door open slightly. Tip: To keep chicken warm and crispy, heat oven to 250 degrees and then turn off the heat and close the door. When done frying all the chicken, place the sheet try in the oven. Use a wooden spoon to place in the handle between the oven door to prevent steam from building up. This will keep the chicken warm and crispy.

Huntersville’s new Viva Chicken offers a tasty twist on the common dinner staple. by JENNY BRULE • photos by GRANT BALDWIN

I’m sitting on the patio of the newly opened Viva Chicken restaurant in Huntersville interviewing General Manager Justin Blinn, 32, on a beautiful autumn afternoon. Blinn is schooling me in Peruvian street food when two patrons, a mother and daughter, walk up to our table and interrupt us saying, “Excuse us. We overheard you all doing an interview about this place? We just wanted to tell you that this was our first time eating here and it was excellent. We will definitely be back.” I look from the woman to Blinn and he says, “I swear that wasn’t planned!” But it is exactly the type of response to Viva Chicken’s bright, fresh Peruvian flavors that Blinn has been hearing since the restaurant opened in August. “People really love this food. The flavors and many of the ingredients are like nothing they’ve ever

had before,” Blinn says. This is the third location of Viva Chicken to open in two and a half years (the other two being in Ballantyne and Elizabeth in Charlotte), by two men, Randy Garcia and Bruno Macchiavello. Macchiavello is from Peru and was the executive chef at Villa Antonio, which is where he and Garcia met. Garcia grew up in the restaurant business (his family owned Villa Antonio) and his wife is Peruvian. The two men wanted to introduce Peruvian street food to Charlotte, and now Lake Norman. They also wanted to change the way people thought about authentic ethnic food. Their goal was to introduce customers to exceptional ethnic food in a modern atmosphere. The interior of Viva Chicken goes beyond typical fast casual

restaurant concepts. Sleek finishes, a huge floor-to-ceiling chalkboard wall, and ‘house music’ fill the restaurant. Counter service is fast and seating is plentiful (but beware, there is a line out the door some nights and most weekends). The main attraction at Viva Chicken is well, chicken—but not your average poultry. Fresh whole chickens are steeped in an herby, aromatic marinade for 12 to 24 hours, and then slowly roasted in a charcoal rotisserie oven (handmade in Peru) until they yield crispy skin and juicy meat. From there, Viva Chicken offers sandwiches (on freshly baked ciabatta) or wraps (using sundried tomato wraps), entrée salads, and bowls—all of which can feature their signature chicken or remain vegetarian. The Quinoa Stuffed Avocado ($8) (the dish the women at the beginning of the story had) is wildly popular. Two halves of a ripe avocado are stuffed with organic quinoa salad and sweet

red pepper. It’s filling enough as is, but can also be topped with shredded rotisserie chicken for added flavor and dimension. The Viva Chicken Salad ($8.25) is piled with fresh romaine and kale, pulled rotisserie chicken, avocado, feta cheese, onions, tomatoes, and cucumbers with a balsamic dressing. Arroz Chaufa is a bowl filled with rice fried with sweet red peppers, green onions, egg, Peruvian soy sauce, and fresh ginger. At $6.95, it’s a steal. The Inca Wrap features canary beans, rice, avocado, salsa Criolla (lime-marinated onions and tomatoes) swaddled in a sundried tomato wrap and comes with your choice of one side for $7.25. If you want to go the classic route, order a quarter of a rotisserie chicken ($8.75/comes with two sides), a half ($12.75 with two sides), or a whole ($21.95 with three large sides—enough for a family of four). For sides, choose between sweet potato fries, fried plantains, cilantro-infused rice, and Peruvian chicken soup, to

name a few. All of these authentic and delicious dishes can be complemented by customers’ choice of signature sauces: Aji Amarillo (made from a mild, yellow Peruvian pepper, and the restaurant’s most popular), Huacatay (made from black Peruvian mint, cilantro, and jalapeños and packs a punch) or Roasted Rocoto (a red Peruvian pepper that is nicknamed the “Gringo Killer” but isn’t as scorching as the nickname suggests). Each one of these sauces is practically slurpable. They are as flavorful as they are new to most. Viva Chicken ups the ante in fast-casual dining, both in delicious flavors and in their sleek interior décor. Dining in offers a cool respite from the busy Birkdale area, while getting a meal to go offers relief for home kitchen cooks. Either way it’s a win. LNM

Passing Notes Local entrepreneur Tracie Stier-Johnson helps add some flair to holiday events with gorgeous custom stationery at her newly rebranded storefront, Note + Nest Paperie. by CLAIRE KUHLKIN • photos by JUSTIN DRISCOLL
W
When you walk into Note + Nest Paperie, the eye-catching gifts and eclectic décor are the first things that jump out. Upon further exploration, this newly expanded store is so much more than your average stationery shop. From the owner’s favorite planners, which come in every color and pattern imaginable, to the new Maika Goods canvas totes, getting lost in the options isn’t difficult. With the store’s rebranding in March, Tracie Stier-Johnson decided to make it her own. By changing the name from Papaya Paper and Gifts to Note + Nest Paperie, she wanted to highlight more of the stationery aspect of her business. To do that, she brought in more products and designers to the custom print shop. After acquiring the store next to hers, Stier-Johnson repurposed the old tennis shop and turned it into an area for her staff to meet with clients. The added retail space allows her to carry even more brands and have the room to display the new gifts, designers, and stationery.

Just in time for the holidays, Note + Nest is launching an online store, perfect for picking the right card for your family.
“It was really important to have brides come in and have plenty of space to spread everything out and see what it would all look like together,” she says. Stier-Johnson has long had a passion for the little something extra that stationary can bring to an event. The Wisconsin native, who owned a stationery store there for nine years, believes that the tone of a party is set from the moment the guest receives an invitation. “Not everyone appreciates the importance of stationery, but the paper itself can be what makes you want to have a party,” she says. “When you feel the letter press, feel the quality of the paper, it really shows the amount of time and care that went into an event.” Note + Nest caters to any and every event you could imagine. While a large portion of its clients in the custom

They will even whip up a gorgeous business card for you. Note + Nest will be launching their very own online boutique right before the holidays. The online store will mimic the light and airy feel of the shop, and will offer some fantastic gifts which could be perfect for stocking stuffers. Not only that, but you will also be able to make appointments, get wedding tips, and even sign up for wedding workshops that will start in the new year.

Lakeside Getaway Wisconsin’s Elkhart Lake offers vacationers unparalleled natural beauty and recreational diversions with true Midwestern hospitality. by MICHAEL J. SOLENDER
I
If Lake Norman and the communities that surround it had a classy Midwestern cousin, it very well could be Elkhart Lake, Wis. A stunning crystalline lake formed by a glacier, Elkhart Lake remains pristine because it’s unfed by rivers or streams. The third-deepest lake in the state, it’s a favorite with those who want to laze the day away on the water. Elkhart Lake captivates all who come to know her. This surprising resort destination, just an hour’s drive north of Milwaukee, is particularly appealing to families because of the variety of recreational activities, dining options, and opportunities to explore are almost inexhaustible. Here are some of our favorites:

ELKHART LAKE TOURISM LIBRARY
Road America: Elkhart Lake and racing have a history that goes back to the early 1950s, when the village transformed into an open-road race circuit destination that attracted top drivers from around the globe. Road America, the 640acre “National Park of Speed,” opened in 1955 after the state legislature banned racing on public roads. The centerpiece 14-turn track hosts NASCAR’s Xfinity Series Road America 180 annually. The park offers more hands-on options year-round for visitors including go-karting, geocaching, paintball, ziplines, driving schools, and camping.
Quit-Qui-Oc Golf Course: Hit the links at Quit-Qui-Oc, the Menomenee Tribe name for “land along the crooked river.” Twenty-seven holes in a classic-style layout challenge novices and scratch golfers alike at this family-run course.
Elkhart Lake: The star attraction here offers many options for enjoyment. Fireman’s Park and public beach has picnic tables, volleyball pits, and plenty of sandy shore for seasonal access to the lake. Angling to fish for walleye or bass? Jay’s Guide Service is just the ticket as top guide Jay Brickner has spent more than 35 years fishing the lake and gladly shares his secrets. If boating is your thing, all manner of rentals—speedboats, kayaks, and even paddleboards—are available, as are daily and evening pontoon tours.
