From the Editor M
y mom’s rice crispy treats are famous. Well, at least among a select group of college students in the ’90s. I was asked to bring them back after just about every holiday (in fact, I believe one of my roommates sent me home with, “If you don’t bring them back, then don’t bother coming back.”). They were somehow even better when they arrived via the mail. It was like Christmas for me and my friends. I don’t think she would be too upset if I divulged her secret. It was extra marshmallow. That extra chewiness hooked just about everyone that encountered them. And after college, as I experienced life in several corners of the country, packages still arrived and friends would suddenly appear. It was Sundi’s column in Life Under Pines that brought back those marshmallow memories and the excitement felt of receiving a surprise package. It was the definition of joy back then; not only for the treats inside but for the act itself. The effort involved in putting a package together and sending it is such a nice and simple way of saying, “I care.” The origin of the “care package” dates to the 1940s. Much of Europe was still struggling with the aftermath of World War II and so the Cooperative for American Remittances to Europe (CARE)—a group consisting of 22 American charities of civic, religious, cooperative and labor backgrounds—took possession of 2.8 million USA army surplus packages in 1946 and sent them across the Atlantic. Each package contained enough food to feed ten people for one day and contained staples like butter, dried milk, canned meat, as well as chocolate and chewing gum. Eventually other supplies, like soap, diapers and fabric were included. CARE began making their own packages once the surplus ran out—thanks to donations mainly from American corporations—and more Americans soon caught the giving bug sending packages on their own addressed to “hungry occupant of a thatched cottage,” “the thirteenth Dean in the London phone directory” or “a school teacher in Germany.” “I remember the excitement when my gran would start unpacking them and bringing out these extraordinary luxuries: tins of ham, tins of peaches,” Huw Thomas recalled in an interview with The Telegraph, a British newspaper. “What excitement, and it just lightened up our lives for a while because we had this exotic food. Ham and peaches!” CARE continues to help those in need, working to combat poverty in more than 90 countries around the world. Since the 1940s, through CARE, Americans have sent more than 100 million packages to impoverished people. And we Americans haven’t stopped there, sending care packages to family, to friends, to the military. It is a decidedly American tradition. And speaking of the military, if you are inspired to send something, don’t trust those online sites (see Life Under Pines on page 36). Instead, ask Sundi or another military spouse. They’ll know exactly what to send (hint: it partially involves beef jerky). As for me, it’s about that time, isn’t it Mom?

Next The
Generation U.S. Kids Golf fosters a healthy love of the sport BY BI L LY L IGGET T PHOTOGR APHY COURTESY OF FILIPPO V I A NELLI
Will Grimmer was a tall,
skinny 17-year-old kid when he arrived in Pinehurst as the youngest qualifier of the 2014 U.S. Open. He played practice rounds with the likes of Rickie Fowler and Justin Rose, he signed autographs and he took on hordes of interview requests from the world’s media, hoping to get a minute with the rising star. Was he nervous? Of course. But was the moment—playing alongside golf’s biggest names on the hallowed grounds of Pinehurst No. 2—too big for the high school senior from Cincinnati, Ohio? Go back seven years earlier: Grimmer was a short, skinny 10-year-old kid making his Pinehurst debut at the 2007 U.S. Kids Golf World Championship, annually considered the pinnacle event for young golfers (ages 12 and under) from the U.S. and around the world. He’d return to Pinehurst again at 11. And 12. And 13 and 14. Each time, facing off against the world’s best young talent. Then at 15, Grimmer made history, shooting a round of 59 on Pinehurst No. 1 at the North & South Junior Amateur Championship. It was the only known recorded 59 in competition in Pinehurst’s long and storied history. So, was the U.S. Open too big for Will Grimmer? Not in the least.
PINEHURSTLIVINGMAGAZINE.COM 11
12 PINEHURSTLIVINGMAGAZINE.COM
“The U.S. Kids tournament was my Masters … my U.S. Open. It was a huge deal for all of us,” says Grimmer, now a 20-year-old rising junior on the golf team at Ohio State University. “I’d been there so many times before—I knew the area, and I knew the clubhouse. Being 17 and qualifying for a U.S. Open should have been nerve-wracking and unsettling, but my past experiences in Pinehurst put me at ease. I’d had so many great memories there with my family that I felt at home. It was an awesome experience.”
STORIED HISTORY
PGA Tour members Justin Thomas and Patrick Reed. LPGA Tour members Cheyenne Woods (niece of Tiger) and Lexi Thompson. Brad Dalke, member of the 2017 NCAA Men’s Golf Champion Oklahoma Sooners. Like Grimmer, they’re all alumni of U.S. Kids Golf. And their journeys have all included trips to the Sandhills of North Carolina for the World Championships, the Teen World Championships and two World Van Horn Cup tournaments—one for the world’s top 12-year-olds and the other for the top teens. Since 2005, Pinehurst and its surrounding communities have been home to the two-week event, dubbed “more than just a golf tournament” by organizers. In addition to the “big” competitions, the two weeks include a parent/child competition, a team challenge, the Honda Skills Challenge, opening and closing ceremonies, and the Parade of Nations, where the players and their families march through the Village of Pinehurst waving the flags of their home countries. This year, Pinehurst will host the teen tournaments July 27-30, and the tournaments for golfers ages 5-12 on Aug. 3-6. While Pinehurst Resort isn’t the only set of courses hosting players—at least seven courses, such as Mid Pines, Whispering Pines and Talamore are included—the resort is considered U.S. Kids Golf “headquarters” this time of year. “One of the great things about hosting U.S. Kids Golf is that it’s two weeks of what we feel like is just pure golf,” says Alex Podlogar, media relations manager at Pinehurst Resort. “It’s kids of all shapes and sizes, of all nationalities, here to play a game we all love. There’s a lot of energy here during those two weeks, and it reinvigorates us. It shows us that the future of the game is very strong.” In all, more than 2,200 kids from 55 different countries are expected to compete this summer, numbers that have risen dramatically over the years, according to Peter Stilwell, founder of Tarheel Communications and operations director for the U.S. Kids Golf Pinehurst events. “We’ve had players travel 12,000 miles to play here,” says Stilwell. “It’s become a huge annual event for the resort, and it’s become so big that it’s bled into the community. When you factor in families that accompany these players, you’re talking nearly 6,000 people here for two weeks.” And those thousands of visitors are not only filling the resort, Stilwell says, but they’re filling surrounding hotels as well. They’re filling up restaurants in Pinehurst, Southern Pines and Aberdeen. They’re shopping in those downtown areas. They’re checking out the golf shops and playing on nearby courses. “This event makes a lot of businesses’ summers,” Stilwell adds. “The average family is spending a lot of money to stay here. These two weeks have been very good for the entire community.”
A FAMILY AFFAIR
Shawn Coultoff’s caddie for the 2016 World Championships in Pinehurst was a former professional golfer. Having that kind of experience and talent by his side, Shawn, then age 9, shot an 8-under par for the three-day, 54-hole tournament, a performance that helped him earn the 2016 U.S. Kids Golf Player of the Year award. Shawn’s caddie, Eric Coultoff, is also his father.
PINEHURSTLIVINGMAGAZINE.COM 13
One of the unique aspects of the U.S. Kids Golf program—beginning at the local levels and all the way through Pinehurst—is the strong emphasis on family. U.S. Kids is one of the few youth-level programs in the nation that not only allows, but encourages, moms and dads to join their young boys and girls on the course as caddies during tournament play. According to Stilwell, the true mission of U.S. Kids Golf is to provide an enjoyable experience for everyone involved—players and families. The parent-player relationship on the course is meant to encourage teamwork and strengthen family bonds. “U.S. Kids is very keen on parents being properly coached on how to coach their child,” Stilwell explains. “We align parents with a positive coaching alliance, and we provide several coaching seminars throughout the year. We talk parents through what they need to do to keep their kids focused on their games. But in the end, it’s really all about having fun, and these shared experiences, we feel, build lasting memories.” Eric and Lisa Coultoff have both caddied for Shawn throughout his young career. Now 10, Shawn has won more than 65 tournaments, and he has competed at the World Championship in Pinehurst each of the last four years (he’ll be making his fifth appearance in August). “You’re out there coaching and teaching them the game, but you’re also being a parent and teaching etiquette and what to do when maybe things aren’t going so well,” said Eric. “It’s different than coaching in other sports. Eighteen holes of golf can last five hours—that’s about three minutes of actually hitting a ball and 4 hours and 57 minutes of walking and talking. It’s a fine balancing act of being a caddy and a parent.” “And as a parent, you’re worried about things like, ‘Are they drinking enough water?’ or ‘Do they need to blow their nose?’” adds Lisa Coultoff. “They’re 10. They’re not babies, but they’re still kids.” For Shawn, the U.S. Kids experience has taught him several things that have nothing to do with golf. Meeting competitors from other countries and other cultures has made him a more outgoing kid and more courageous when it comes to approaching others. “We were practicing on a course, and we caught up to a group of high schoolers,” he says. “I introduced myself and asked if I could join them. Another time, I met a gentleman in his 50s and asked if I could play.” For Will Grimmer, having his mom and dad as caddies may or may not have helped his game, but without a doubt it provided lasting memories. “That’s what I remember most about those tournaments,” he says. “Being with my family. U.S. Kids got me hooked on competitive golf, but it also allowed me to play with my dad. And we still play together to this day.” PL

RESCUED RACEHORSES and the People who Rescue Them
STORY BY TOBY RAYMOND PHOTOGRAPHY BY ALLIE CONRAD
I
N 2007, WHEN THE AMERICAN
HORSE COUNCIL COMMISSIONED A NATIONWIDE STUDY, IT WAS ESTIMATED THAT APPROXIMATELY 170,000 HORSES WENT “UNWANTED” EACH YEAR . While many
were sick, injured or unsuitable, there were as many that were healthy, but for one reason or another had become a burden to their owners. Consequently, the number of unwanted horses exceeded the resources available to accommodate them, a situation that continues to this day with the same sad story to tell. Yes, numbers like these are daunting; a cautionary tale that can lead to empathy fatigue and compassion paralysis. On the other hand, it is also a known truth that when we feel inspired we are more likely to become motivated—like pressing the “go” button on our altruistic spirits to spur us forward and make a difference. Such is the case with Holly Carter, one among us on the aptly named Bump Along Lane in Southern Pines. Carter was a high-end interior designer by trade before she gave up her pumps and “that little black dress” to dedicate herself to 19 off-the-track thoroughbreds (OTTBs), many of whom are “war horses” with upward of 50 starts to their credit or are from auction house kill-pens. A beacon of light for her precious charges, she is tireless in her care and dedication to the breed that “has given me so much and asked for so little in return,” she says. Having long funded the rescue and retirement facility out of her own pocket, the recently christened nonprofit 501(c)(3) The Winter Farm OTTB Rescue and Retirement—named in tribute to Winter Escape, her beloved dark bay gelding who raced an astounding 105 times during his six-year tenure on the track—has enabled Carter to up her game and provide a safe haven for even more horses.
16 PINEHURSTLIVINGMAGAZINE.COM
Carter says one of her greatest joys is to watch the latest arrivals make a transition from high octane racehorses back to their true, gentle selves. “You generally can tell by their eyes— always bright, but when they become ‘soft’ I know they have truly arrived.” She goes on to say that TBs are very intelligent and eager to learn, although she gives them ample time to let down and “be horses” before retraining begins. And, like her TBs who have worked so hard, Carter says she too has worked hard to get here. “My family was in the arts. They didn’t get it at all about horses,” she says. “My father used to tease that I was switched at birth, because he couldn’t understand where my passion came from,” she laughs. He eventually acknowledged her devotion and brought home a pony he had loaded into his pick-up truck, and whom she rode “all over creation.” But it was when she had the opportunity to exercise a TB polo pony for a family friend that she really fell in love, competing on the “A” circuit as an amateur owner at venues like Palm Beach and Devon. “Thoroughbreds have given me everything I wanted in life and have taken me everywhere,” she says. “For so many years interior designing paid for my horse habit, nearly all of which were thoroughbreds.” However, as her business continued to grow, it took up more and more of her time, affecting her riding life, and eventually putting an end to it all together. In fact, it took 15 years of nonstop work before she turned a corner and came “home.” “I was in my 40s and working six to seven days a week, but I just missed horses too much, so I decided to move back to Southern Pines and reconnect with them—to what really mattered to me.”

SAM WHEN RESCUED. PHOTO BY KAREN MCCOLLOM
“My life with Sam has clarified and illuminated for me, like a blazing and unforgiving spotlight, our accountability to these animals. I am very aware of the responsibility I carry for Sam; it is a mutual thing, a two-sided trust.”
Once settled, a friend introduced her to the Communication Alliance to Network ExRacehorses (CANTER) website where she found Winter Escape who started it all. With so many races behind him, however, his legs were not the picture of health, so she planned to replace him, and ended up with two. Then she spotted a few more, and then a few more, until she came to the belief that rehabbing and rehoming TBs was her true calling. Now 65, Carter typically adopts out between nine and 12 horses a year, and has a goal to partner with programs that serve veterans and people, young and old, with disabilities. “At my age, it's about giving back to all of the people and animals who have blessed me. They are all part of who I've become, and it is something I am quite passionate about. I know I can't change the world or help them all, but I can help as many as I can.” Allie Conrad, former Director of the CANTER’s Mid-Atlantic Chapter for almost 20 years, also has a horse story that changed her life. “I had stars in my eyes back then,” she says. “I saw a TB on the internet who was going for sale at the New Holland auction and decided to do something about it. But while I was there, I saw a number of other OTTBs who also were slated for slaughter. It was a jawdropping experience. And to top it off, I didn’t understand the bidding process so ended up with the wrong horse. He was a pile of skin and bones, he had ulcers and his legs were a mess (your basic train-wreck) and I didn’t know the first thing about rehabbing a horse; truth is, I had no business buying him in the first place.”

Sunday Supper
The
Ice Cream Parlor
By Meagan Burgad / Photography by Amanda Jakl
I
t’s a sunny Tuesday afternoon and the line in The Ice Cream Parlor already reaches to the door. “I can kind of tell what people are going to order when they walk in,” laughs Anthony. “The young kids like Crazy Vanilla or the Homemade Peach. Anyone else likes Butter Pecan or plain Vanilla.” If anyone qualifies to be an expert on the ice cream habits of the Sandhills, it would be Anthony Parks, owner of The Ice Cream Parlor in downtown Southern Pines. Anthony is the fifth owner of shop since its opening in 1976. Later this year, when Anthony celebrates his 16th anniversary of owning the business, he will be the longest-running owner in The Ice Cream Parlor’s history. But owning a quaint family restaurant wasn’t always part of Anthony’s plan. In 2002, when Anthony moved back to Southern Pines with a degree from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, he had a very specific goal in mind—open an upscale pub similar to those he had worked in during his time in Greensboro and Winston. Fate, however, has a funny way of changing things. When the previous owners of The Ice Cream Parlor heard about Anthony’s plans, they approached him and asked if he would be interested in buying the business. So he did, figuring on The Ice Cream Parlor as a stepping stone and intending to sell the restaurant after a few years to open his pub. Once again, though, his plans changed.
“I fell in love working here. I fell in love with the smiling faces I saw in here every day. The atmosphere was a lot nicer than any of the restaurants I had ever worked in before. The staff felt like family,” he explains. The Parlor has been a hangout for kids and families since it opened 41 years ago. Smack dab in the middle of downtown Southern Pines on the corner of New Hampshire and Broad Street, The Ice Cream Parlor is still a place where kids can ride their bikes to after school and grab a hot dog and an ice cream cone. Throughout the years, Anthony has worked hard to keep the quaint family atmosphere while adding his own unique touches. The menu has evolved, growing from an ice cream shop with a few food items to a restaurant with the best chicken salad in town. “I was told I would get run out of town if I touched the chicken salad recipe,” Anthony jokes. The secret ingredient? Celery salt. Besides classics like burgers and fries, The Ice Cream Parlor added around 15 new menu items like wraps, salads, specialty sandwiches and soups. Two of Anthony’s favorite additions are the Hot dog with cheese, bacon, and Dijon mustard, and the Smoked turkey breast sandwich with havarti cheese and dill mayo.

The Ice Cream Parlor Chicken Salad
INGREDIENTS
3 cups cooked and shredded chicken breast meat 2 stalks celery, thinly sliced 1/2 cup chopped pecans 2/3 cup mayonnaise 2 teaspoons celery salt 1 pinch coarse black pepper to taste DIRECTIONS
In a serving bowl, mix together the celery, pecans, mayo and seasoning. Then add chicken and blend well. Taste, and season with salt and pepper as needed. Serve immediately, or refrigerate until serving. Serves 4.
Anthony and Dixie Parks Portabella and smoked gouda burger. Anthony’s favorite daily special may be the D.O.D. - Dog of the Day - which includes fun creations like the Taco dog, the BLT dog, the Caesar dog and the Pulled pork dog (a hot dog with pulled pork barbecue and slaw). But we shouldn’t forget the traditional reason to visit the Ice Cream Parlor … the ice cream. Anthony has 24 flavors of ice cream on hand at all times, including a mix of homemade options as well as sherbets, dairy-free popsicles and other frozen treats. Flavors range from simple vanilla and strawberry to Hershey flavors with enough chocolate to satisfy even the most severe chocoholic. Get a banana split to share and sit at one of the tables outside, or grab a waffle cone piled high with Homemade Peach ice cream while you stroll through downtown. No matter the choice, it would be hard to go wrong. In addition to establishing The Ice Cream Parlor as a Southern Pines staple, Anthony has been one of the driving forces behind the revitalization of downtown Southern
Pines. He demurs talking about himself, but admits to being one of the founders of Southern Pines First Friday, as well as part of the team that helped make the First Bank Stage at the Sunrise a reality. “We’re all in it together. Lots of people did it. There’s tons of people involved,” he stresses. Now, after seeing the stage come to fruition, Anthony plans to step back and looks forward to spending more time with his family. Anthony may be an expert on the ice cream ordering habits of Southern Pines, but you don’t need to be a genius to see what The Ice Cream Parlor means to our community. What would summer vacation be without a pile of bikes casually disregarded outside The Ice Cream Parlor as a group of kids stand in line to get their scoop of Crazy Vanilla. The long line that snakes out the door on a lazy Tuesday afternoon just reinforces that The Ice Cream Parlor is an integral part of downtown Southern Pines. There’s no place better to get a D.O.D. and a scoop of the best Homemade Peach ice cream you’ve ever had. PL
The Ice Cream Parlor is located at 176 NW Broad Street, Southern Pines and is open 10:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 10:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Sunday.

In Vino, Veritas
Barbecue & Wine By Sheila Pellizzari
On your porch, at the beach, in a park, by the pool, with your family or friends: What is one of the best ways to welcome the weekend and release the stress accumulated during the week? A cookout! The barbeque grilling season is here, and you better be prepared with what you need if you want to be the “King of the Q” rather than a common patty flipper. No doubt, the food is very important, but did you think about the wine? Let the beers rest in the fridge for once with your next barbeque, at least for your meal. If you need something refreshing, cold and bubbly while you are cooking in the heat in front of the hot grill, start out with a spritz. The spritz is a simple Italian winebased cocktail made with prosecco, bitter liquor (Aperol) and a splash of soda. It has a relatively low alcohol content (11 percent), so it’s perfect for long parties, day drinking or lazy afternoons. Its taste is bubbly, pleasantly citrusy and slightly bitter, owing its flavors and aromas to sweet and bitter oranges, rhubarb and gentian root. Now that you’ve got your cooking cocktail, it’s time to pick the wine for the meal. Barbeque seasoning is a fundamental aspect that will drive you toward the choice of wine to serve. Everyone has his or her own ultimate recipe for the best seasoning, just as there are many different ways and techniques of grilling. Let’s check what is cooking on the grill to come up with the best choice for the wine. Red meat It’s important to choose a red wine that won’t overtake the flavor of the food; choose instead a lighter one that will enhance the flavor of that special steak
or burger. From our cellar, I would pick a Poggio Bonelli Chianti Classico DOCG or, if I was in a more fruit-forward mood, a Marramiero Montepulciano d’Abruzzo DOC. Both wines are refined in oak barrels so they have a good complexity and intensity. For those who can’t eat a steak without cabernet, you could try a Bordeaux blend, which is usually a lighter version of a Californian cab, such as Podere Sapaio Pappolo.
Pork When it is not fish nor meat … it is pork! With pork, you have many options: Aromatic whites, rosé and light reds are all great. Depending on your seasoning, a sauvignon blanc is a nice option for the white, such as Fossa Mala or a pinot noir for the light red, perhaps by Martini & Sohn. If you prefer a rosé wine, I suggest a very dry one, not sweet at all, such as Il Chiosso Ficorosa, a 100 percent nebbiolo from Northern Piedmont. Fish Like pork, depending on the seasoning, you can pair almost any wine with fish. Let’s assume we are not being adventurous with the seasonings though and stay with a more classic pairing: fish and white. The Collestefano Verdicchio di Matelica is a perfect wine with any seafood done any way: raw, boiled, baked or grilled. Verdicchio has a natural crispiness delivered by the typical acidity and minerality of this grape, especially when grown on the inland hills, like the Collestefano. In warmer vintages, like 2015, the wine is very balanced and the fruit bouquet explodes in your mouth with scents of white flowers, peach, apple and citrus.
26 PINEHURSTLIVINGMAGAZINE.COM
Veggies The pursuit of freshness in a meal calls for veggies and bubbles. You can never go wrong with the sparkling wines of Peri, either the white or the rosé are great for this part of the meal. Both are vintage sparkling wines produced according to the champenoise technique, the same as the fancy French Champagne. When considering your many good wine choices, remember this important guiding principle: Happiness is a fun meal together with friends and a bottle of good wine. Fire it up! PL All wines are available at Triangle Wine Company in Southern Pines.

“My father’s WWII training book, service record, and pamphlet and postcard of his ship, the USS Duluth.” The USS Duluth, named for the city in Minnesota, was a 10,000-ton cruiser that held 1,285 enlisted and 70 officers. The USS Duluth joined the Pacific fleet in the spring of 1945 but only saw combat in the last few weeks of the World War II due to damage from a typhoon. While in battle, the Duluth was engaged in a series of attacks on the islands of Japan and earned two battle stars for her role. She was decommissioned in 1949 and spent a decade in the reserve fleet before being sold for scrap in 1960.

“My husband Jerry Fitts was Deputy Associate Administrator for NASA’s Office of Space Communications. The Office provided domestic and international links with the space shuttle, the Hubble Space Telescope and other Earth-orbiting programs, as well as deep space missions. Prior to that position Jerry managed programs responsible for designing, developing and launching the space shuttles. The badges that include the names of the specific shuttle astronauts, as well as U.S. flags, were actually flown on the shuttle with the astronauts. The coins were made using metal from Space Shuttle Columbia.” Columbia was the first manned spacecraft to orbit the Earth, first launched by the U. S. on April 12, 1981. The shuttle completed 28 missions, including the servicing of the Hubble telescope in 2002. After a 16-day scientific research mission in 2003, the shuttle was destroyed upon re-entry and all seven crew members were killed. - Hartley Fitts, Pinehurst

New Bern A
visit to the coast can be more than just lying on the beach, enjoying the sun and sand. New Bern, about 157 miles east of Pinehurst, offers a rich cultural experience that shouldn’t be missed.
History buffs of all kinds will love New Bern. Civil War historians will recognize the city as one of the first to fall to the Union in 1862, after a battle led by General Burnside failed to secure its port and trading center. Pay your respects at the New Bern National Cemetery to see the final resting place of more than 300 U.S. Colored Troops (USCT), as well as more than a thousand unknown soldiers. The U.S. Colored Troops were regiments of the U.S. Army made up of men of color and constituted onetenth of the manpower of the Union Army. Many of the men who enlisted in the USCT were freed slaves from the port the Union had captured. Pop culture aficionados can visit the pharmacy where Caleb Bradham invented Pepsi-Cola, originally named Brad’s Drink. The Birthplace of Pepsi (yes, that’s the actual name of the store) is in historic New Bern. Learn about the rise and fall and rise again of the iconic brand, and enjoy a tall glass while you’re there. Tryon Palace will thrill government buffs as North Carolina’s first permanent state capitol in 1791, until Raleigh took the title in 1794. Tour the Palace where President George Washington stopped on his Southern Tour and explore the 14 acres of beautifully maintained gardens. After the palace, visit the North Carolina History Center and learn how history shaped the region into what it is today.

Mount Airy
mere 127 miles north of Pinehurst lies Mount Airy, a picturesque little town set at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains. While Mount Airy is most widely known as the birthplace of beloved television actor Andy Griffith, the town and its surroundings offers more than just nostalgia, although the nostalgia is half the fun. Fans of the Andy Griffith Show will love to step back in time as they stroll the town that has celebrated the hit show. Stop for a bite at Snappy Lunch or a quick trim at Floyd’s City Barbershop. For a bit of added fun, take a Mayberry Squad Car Tour. End with a look through the Andy Griffith Museum and a peek into his boyhood home. If you’re after sights of a more natural kind, drive up to Pilot Mountain. First mapped by Thomas Jefferson’s father in 1751, the uniquely formed mountain has been a navigational landmark for centuries and became a state park in 1968. The views from its summit are simply breathtaking. There is a parking lot at the top, so no hiking required. If you’re in the mood to stretch your legs, take a hike around the knob. We suggest the 2.7 mile loop that can be accessed from the upper parking lot. And don’t forget your camera. All the sightseeing might leave you thirsty, so it’s a good thing Mount Airy is nestled in the Yadkin Valley wine region, home to nearly 40 wineries and even a whiskey distillery. The river valley, known as “Napa of the East,” is North Carolina’s first American Viticultura Area (AVA), which designates the wine you’re sipping at Divine Llama Vineyards or JOLO Winery and Vineyards was made from the grapes grown in that region.

Brevard L
ooking for a place in the mountains, but have already done Asheville? Consider Brevard, about 30 miles south of Asheville and about 226 miles from Pinehurst. It’s a small community—population of just 8,000— surrounded by the big outdoors.
Known as “The Land of the Waterfalls,” Transylvania County has more than 200 waterfalls. Check out the DuPont Forest Waterfalls, home to six waterfalls, including the Bridal Veil Falls, which were featured in the Last of the Mohicans and The Hunger Games films. Cyclists will love the hundreds—yes, hundreds—of miles of bike trails. Mountain bikers will be particularly happy; the Pisgah National Forest is a mountain bike trail mecca with trails for every level of ability. The forest was originally part of the Biltmore estate before becoming part of the National Forest system in 1916. It’s also where you’ll find the Cradle of Forestry, the first school of science-based forest management, established in 1898 by Carl Schenck, with the generous help of George and Edith Vanderbilt. While you’re in the Cradle, catch the Songcatcher Music Series every Sunday in July, featuring the finest folk performers in Western North Carolina. And at $6 per person, it’s probably the best deal around for live music. If more traditional music is your niche, the Brevard Music Center hosts more than 80 orchestra, chamber and opera performances every summer, and has hosted celebrated talents like YoYo Ma and Renee Fleming. Book your tickets and stay early though, because they go fast. PL

Life Under Pines
Care Package Perfection By Sundi McLaughlin
J
uly has me thinking of Independence Day, patriotism and sacrifice, and here in the Sandhills I can’t think of another place that has more heroes per square mile. Brave men and women routinely put themselves in harm’s way as part of their job, which in turn has them deploying regularly. So many of my friends are these amazing heroes, which is pretty awesome when I stop to think about it. To be a part of such a strong and serviceminded community has been a true honor and learning experience. To show them my love, I have been known to send these courageous folks a care package or two. I don't like to brag … (OK, well maybe this once), but I make a mean homemade chocolate chip banana bread and a super delicious pumpkin bread. I have, over the years, perfected a technique that keeps these tasty delights fresh for up to 1012 days, which seems to be about enough time for them to arrive overseas before mold appears. I usually bake a huge batch, doubling or tripling the recipe so there is plenty to share or hoard, depending on the soldier’s state of mind. As soon as they come out of the oven I get them wrapped up and into the freezer. Once frozen, I “suck and seal” (vacuum sealer) the little babies for maximum freshness. Be warned, the vacuum sealer is a powerful tool, my friends. I learned this after an unfortunate incident involving an especially delicious batch of cookies. They came out of the oven perfect and once cooled I broke out my new vacuum sealer and proceeded to suck every piece of chocolate out of the cookies! Thus learning
a valuable lesson: Always freeze before you suck … and then seal. There are a few other staples I include in my care packages. I have found that Sriracha Jerky has a $1,000,000,000.00 street value overseas. I like to equate its value to a carton of smokes in the slammer. I also like to include something funny and, when possible, a touch irreverent. I have found humorous books, games or a deck of cards work great because the soldier can have a laugh, enjoy it and then leave it behind for the next guy or girl. From what I’ve been told, the last thing a soldier wants to do is bring anything extra home. My friends have told me some absolutely hilarious stories of things that have been sent to them over the years by well-meaning friends and family. The problem is that if you Google what to send a deployed soldier, you will find one website after another suggesting completely outdated suggestions. For instance, here are just a few of the items recommended by more than one website, but which my friendly soldiers have asked me to wave off sending: socks, detergent, soap, candy, batteries, foot care (moleskin, Band-Aids, foot powder, etc.) and baby wipes. A few years back my well-intentioned mother-in-law went to one of these “military-friendly” sites. The webpage was set up so the buyer could choose different themed packages for their soldier. Always a mother, she decided to send “The Cleanliness Package.” A few weeks later a box the size of a dishwasher arrived to my overseas man. “You’ll never guess what my mom sent!” an exacerbated voice said at the
36 PINEHURSTLIVINGMAGAZINE.COM
end of the line. Enclosed in the box made for heavy appliances was the following: a length of rope, clothespins, a teeny-tiny wash board (so small you could maybe wash a sock), a little box of Tide and one giant galvanized bucket. “What am I supposed to do with all of this?” he exclaimed. “Where does she think I am? Panning for gold in the California hills circa 1849?” “I don't know,” I said, “but the bucket sounds awesome ….” He called his mom and thanked her for thinking of him and then gradually got around to asking her how she came upon her gift choice. It was then we discovered she had indeed visited one of these random sites for deployed soldiers. She was duped, bamboozled, taken advantage of by a sham of a website that apparently needed to unload 1,000 mini wash boards. I told my man he better bring home the whole kit and caboodle for me to see as it sounded hilarious (plus those galvanized buckets are awesome for beers on ice around the fire pit). Months later he arrived home safe and sound with a giant bucket and corresponding accoutrements under his arm. The following summer my motherin-law came for a visit. She arrived and we chatted amiably for a while until eventually she asked of her son’s whereabouts. I told her very casually, “Oh, he’s out back doing some laundry.” With confusion in her eyes she followed me out back where we’d set quite a little scene for her arrival. Her hardworking son was scrubbing away while his clothes line strung up across the deck swung easily in the breeze, there were suds in the bucket
as he bent over the washboard giving his lone sock a good wash. I even used one of the bajillion clothespins he received to clip a red bra over the line for added realism. Her confusion turned to hysterics a she doubled over with laughter. She called us a few choice names for our prank, but took it in stride as she knew we were laughing with her not at her ‌ well, more or less. So this July think of the heroes who keep us safe, who sacrifice time away from their home and families in pursuit of peace. Give them your thanks, send them your appreciation, but please don't send them a washboard or foot powder or a bajillion clothespins. As for me, I will keep sending homemade breads, jerky and, of course, my love from right here Under the Pines. PL

Healthy Choices
Tip Toe to Good health by J.M. Walter
T
hree out of four people will have a serious foot problem during their lifetime, according to Dr. Amie Haracz of Ankle & Foot Surgical and Podiatry Clinic in West End. Not surprising when you learn that the foot has 26 bones, 33 joints, 107 ligaments and 19 muscles. The foot is a complex machine, one injured part can affect the whole system—even a simple stubbed toe can have you howling in pain and limping for several minutes. Aside from the occasional stubbed toe, however, it’s important not to write off foot pain as just a sign of getting older. While your feet may ache at the end of a long day, (the average adult walks 100,000-115,000 miles over their lifetime, according to Dr. Haracz), acute pain or numbness should be a sign to make an appointment with a professional. Foot problems can often be signs of more serious medical conditions, like diabetes, arthritis or nerve disorders. Tips for healthy feet Summer time means the sunscreen goes on and the shoes come off. Feeling the sand between your toes is a special summer treat and shouldn’t be missed, as long as it’s done sparingly. Going without shoes can increase the risk of injuries, sprains, cuts and muscle pulls. Here are some tips to boost foot health and avoid common problems. Check your feet often. Keep an eye out for cuts, blisters and ingrown toenails, and treat these minor wounds immediately. Ingrown toenails left untreated are painful and can lead to infection. Nails grow more quickly in summer than in winter, so make sure to keep your toenails short as long nails can push against the insides of shoes causing pain or even larger problems like infections and ulcerations. Maintain good hygiene. Wash your feet daily, especially between your toes. Moisturize when needed, but not between the toes. As we age, our feet lose their natural oils and skin becomes thinner and
44 PINEHURSTLIVINGMAGAZINE.COM
more prone to tears and cuts. Toenails can also become brittle and crack, which can lead to bigger problems. Apply nail cream or oil periodically to help strengthen them. A good diet also goes a long way to nail health. Choose footwear wisely. Wear clean socks and make sure your shoes are not too tight. Shoes should fit well, be supportive and comfortable. It’s not unusual for shoe brands to vary in size, so ensure proper fit by trying on multiple pairs. Avoid shoes that cramp your toes or pinch any part of your foot. Also, choose the right footwear for the activity, e.g., running in flip flops is not advised. Rotate your footwear as well, which will allow the support system within the shoe to “bounce” back and allow the shoe to dry out, which reduces the chance of fungal growth and athlete’s foot to flourish. Rotating your shoes will also help them last longer. Stay active. Regular physical activity can help tone foot muscles, strengthen the arches and stimulates circulation. Exercises can be as simple as sitting and rotating your ankles back and forth. Stretching not only feels good, but it’s good for all the muscles and ligaments in your feet and ankles. Rest those dogs. When you kick back to watch the game, put your feet up. It will help with circulation. If you’re stuck sitting for a long period of time, periodically stand up and move around. If you have a habit of crossing your legs when you sit, switch legs and uncross them often. PL

A Look Back
The Story of the Putter Boy By Jean Barron Walker / Photography courtesy of The Tufts Archives and Jean Barron Walker
P
inehurst, North Carolina, was becoming a premier winter haven in the 1890s. Founder James Walker Tufts offered healthy outdoor sports, including tennis, bicycling, croquet and horseback riding for guests at his resort. When Tufts realized that hitting a little white ball around the cow pasture was more than a passing fancy, he asked Dr. Leroy Culver of New York to lay out the first ninehole golf course in 1898. Dr. Culver was the resident physician at the Piney Woods Inn in Southern Pines and had designed a golf area around the Inn. The Pinehurst Outlook of November 1900 observed “golf was undoubtedly the most popular pastime in the village last winter.” Tufts, recognizing the interest in this new sport, began to enhance the Pinehurst golfing experience. He remodeled the initial clubhouse, enclosed the second story observation room and added dressing rooms for men and women. Tufts had the original nine-hole course extended to 18 holes and, in the summer of 1900, he hired the
48 PINEHURSTLIVINGMAGAZINE.COM
noted Scottish golfer Donald J. Ross to rebuild the existing course and to lay out a second “championship” course. To publicize the resort, Tufts’ son Leonard, in 1903, hired New York advertising agent Frank Presbrey, whose ideas would showcase Pinehurst as America’s foremost winter golf mecca. Presbrey promoted the idea of having golf tournaments with multiple trophies, medals and gifts for men and women winners. He believed that golf competitions attracted golfers and generated national publicity about Pinehurst. Presbrey’s most memorable contribution was the introduction of the Golf Lad, which eventually became a Pinehurst icon. Presbrey adapted his likeable little boy from a 1902 drawing by the English artist Edward P. Kinsella. This drawing of a boy playing cricket was known by several monikers: The Golf Lad, The Golf Boy and The Golf Calendar Lad. Dressed in a floppy white hat, red shirt and baggy blue pants with undone suspenders, the lad, with a comical look on his face, carried a bag of

golf clubs over his shoulder. The Golf Lad was used in the early 1900s in advertisements, on calendars sent annually to hotel guests and even on the Carolina Hotel’s dinner menus. The Tufts Archives in Pinehurst has ads dating from 1905 that feature the Golf Lad. “Pinehurst’s Famous Golf Lad Again Greets Old Friends” was the headline in the December 1906 issue of The Pinehurst Outlook. According to the Outlook story, the Presbrey youngster in this poster was “… posing on the pond hole bridge in the act of fishing out a ball from the water … He is looking up with an expression which causes all who look upon him to smile.” The Tufts Archives in Given Memorial Library has a 1907 ad showing the Golf Lad with a collection of trophies as he touts Pinehurst as “The Winter Golf Center of America.” The archives also has an ad from 1910 of the lad with a club in his hand looking out over a mound of sand, with the words, “The Winter Capital of Golf.” A later ad for “The Center of Winter Golf and Sports” shows the lad hitting from a bunker.
Presbrey advertised Pinehurst nationally in a number of major city newspapers. In addition, a 1923 Frank Presbrey Company invoice shows that Presbrey placed advertisements about Pinehurst in Harvard and Yale University publications and in magazines including Vogue, Life, Town and Country, Vanity Fair, World Traveler and Harper’s Bazaar. The Golf Lad was part of the logo for three Pinehurst U.S. Opens. The inspiration for the 1999 U.S. Open logo was a 1906 advertisement called Off for Pinehurst that shows the Golf Lad about to board a train. A 1909 ad, which shows the lad teeing off near the clubhouse, provided the inspiration for the 2005 U.S. Open symbol. The 2014 U.S. Opens were played in consecutive weeks with twin trophy cups on the logo, showing a cardinal perched on the women’s trophy and the Golf Lad’s hat atop the men’s. The Golf Lad was the inspiration for another likeness—a bronze sundial. In the early 1900s, Leonard Tufts commissioned Boston sculptor Lucy Currier Richards to create a figure to symbolize the resort.
PINEHURSTLIVINGMAGAZINE.COM 49
Richards, a friend of Tufts’ wife, Gertrude, had studied sculpture in Europe and at the Boston Museum School. A mention of Richards’ visit to Pinehurst is found in The Pinehurst Outlook of Jan. 30, 1909: “A charming little atelier, Mrs. Richards has made of the quaint log cabin near the school, in which she is busy part of each day.” It’s not known if Richards worked on the sundial figure while in Pinehurst that year, but Pinehurst historian Paul Dunn writes that on Aug. 5, 1910, Lucy Richards paid a fee of $50 to the Roman Bronze Works in New York City for a bronze casting of a “Golf Boy Sun Dial.” Surprisingly, the figure of the Golf Boy on the sundial is only 17.5 inches tall. It shows the Golf Lad in costume, but instead of carrying a bag of clubs, this lad holds a golf club in his hands. It is said that Donald Ross showed Richards the correct grip of the club and proper stance when addressing the ball. Since the shadow of the shaft indicated the time of day, Richards had to make the shaft quite long to get the correct angle. The Golf Boy sundial, which had stood near the Pinehurst putting greens since 1912, was moved to the World Golf Hall of Fame off Midland Road in 1978. He returned to his original home by the putting greens around 1990.
50 PINEHURSTLIVINGMAGAZINE.COM
Sculptor Lucy Currier Richards studied sculpture at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, as well as in Berlin and Paris.
Notes from Donald Ross in the Tufts Archives show where Ross wanted the statue placed on the Pinehurst grounds. Today the bronze-patina Golf Boy, later called the Putter Boy, is mounted on a waist-high pedestal between the two practice putting greens by the clubhouse, very near where Ross intended. A plaque on the pedestal reads:
Putter Boy Also known as “The Golf Lad” or “The Golf Boy,” this historic symbol of Pinehurst was sculpted as a sundial by Lucy Richards in 1912 In the 1970s, perhaps because he was located near the putting greens, the Golf Boy became known as the Putter Boy, even though he seems to be holding a
driver, not a putter! To promote Presbrey’s Golf Lad, Pinehurst hired Eric Johnson, a member of the Kentucky Watercolor Society, as the official poster artist for all three U.S. Opens played at the Pinehurst No. 2 golf course. A likeness of the Golf Lad appears in eight posters created by Johnson. One shows the lad posing alongside a column on the clubhouse veranda, gazing out on the putting green and the golf holes beyond. Another poster recreates the Golf Lad in the pose of Payne Stewart when Stewart won the 1999 U.S. Open on the 18th hole. Just as Stewart did, Johnson’s Golf Lad has made the putt. Golfers everywhere recognize the Putter Boy, the official logo of Pinehurst. In his 105 years, his name has changed from the Golf Lad to the Golf Boy to the Sundial Boy to the Putter Boy. Seen on golf shirts, bag towels, playing cards and posters, the Putter Boy is still that carefree little guy having a good time around the links.

Book Review
Summer Reading By Robert Gable
T
he summer is a good time to sit back and read a book. Perhaps you can sneak a few minutes after all the day’s commitments are finished. You might have some free time when you’re on vacation at the beach, sitting down with a cool beverage. Curling up with a good book is a way to describe the endeavor and a writer like Mary Higgins Clark could have invented that phrase. All By Myself Alone is the latest entertaining novel of her long and illustrious career. Clark is a practiced whiz at writing the thriller/intrigue novel, and this current offering is certainly in that category. By herself, or with a collaborator, she’s written more than 40 books. Straight away she sets the plot—some passengers on a cruise ship are in for a rough journey. Then she lays out the cast of characters, and the story is off and running. This could easily become a movie-of-the-week, or a special presentation—the type of program people of a certain age will remember appearing on network television all the time. The chapters are never long, drawn-out affairs. Indeed, Clark will set the scene and get to the point. She’s a master at telling a story, so the pacing never lags. The cruise lasts for six days, going from New York to Southampton, England, so the book is divided into Day 1, Day 2, etc. The chapters are quick, ranging from three to six pages; it’s designed to move along with quick darts as the plot thickens. She doesn’t confuse the reader with too many characters to follow. The suspects are presented as the events proceed and each has a plausible reason for turning to crime. Carol Kilbride, the main character, is a gemologist from New York City who decides to take a cruise on a fancy ship, hoping to get away from her disastrous engagement to a con artist. The guy bilked her out of her life savings, as well as the savings of some of her closest friends. She may even have to talk to the FBI soon, under suspicion that she may have known about the scam. To top it off, her boss is thinking about firing her, since scandal-plagued employees are bad for the gem business. While on the trip, she becomes entangled with the fate of Lady Emily (fondly known as Lady Em), the owner of the priceless Cleopatra Emerald. The folklore surrounding this emerald happens to come true during the cruise. Carol is left to deal with a cold-blooded killer who will stop at nothing to get such a prized gem. Trying to figure out which passenger it might be is the fun part.

All By Myself Alone
Mary Higgins Clark 321 pages, Simon & Schuster / $26.99
An eclectic mix of characters are aboard the ship. Among the travelers are some friendly and trustworthy people. Willy and Alvirah Meehan are there, celebrating their 45th wedding anniversary, able to afford the trip because they won the lottery. Ted Cavanaugh is a dashing young lawyer who harbors an interest in the antiquities of Egypt. Clark is an experienced judge of human character. A perceptive student of the human condition, she has closely observed people all her life, learning what makes them tick. Her characters are believable—who among us hasn’t had a twinge of greed? And if you happened to work for a superrich older lady, who wouldn’t be tempted to take a little something when she wasn’t looking? Clark includes other characters to keep the mystery going. A rogue named Devon Michaelson is taking the cruise, there on the pretense of scattering his mother’s ashes in the ocean. Professor Henry Longworth is a scheming Shakespearean scholar, one who likes to think he is smugly superior to anyone he meets. This is the maiden voyage of his best ship, so Gregory Morrison, the owner of the cruise lines, is there to ensure a successful voyage. Any negative publicity, any hint of scandal, he is only too quick to quash. If you’re looking for something fun to read this summer, and you like a little touch of intrigue, this is something you might like. All By Myself Alone won’t take forever to finish, nor is it filled with complex passages. It’s simply an entertaining break that moves right along. And you get to hang around on a luxury cruise for a few days while taking a shot at solving the mystery. Spoiler (or not): Things work out in the end, with good triumphing over evil, and a reassuring Hollywood ending wraps up the tale. PL

GOLFING & THE STARS by Helen Ross
North Carolina will further establish itself as a major player in the game of golf when the PGA Championship is played at the Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte in August. This will be the third PGA played in the state, joining the three U.S. Opens played at Pinehurst No. 2 since 1999. (Another U.S. Open is scheduled for the Donald Ross gem in 2024.) Oh, and Quail Hollow, which has been a fixture on the PGA Tour schedule since 2003, will also host The Presidents Cup in 2021—marking just the fifth different U.S. site for the international match play event. But Quail Hollow has a decidedly different look this summer after significant changes to the first six holes orchestrated by Tom Fazio. Three of those are completely new and will make the opening stretch much more challenging. Of course, defending champion Jimmy Walker, for one, might not mind the alterations. He has played in the Wells Fargo Championship at Quail Hollow eight times and only made the cut on three occasions, with a tie for 22nd his best finish. Walker, who is one of the game’s truly nice guys, has steadily elevated his game over the last four years. The win at the Baltsurol last year was his first in a major and the sixth of his Tour career. Walker also has one of the Tour’s most eclectic hobbies. He is an accomplished astrophotographer and has had his work published on the NASA website on several occasions. Walker’s fascination with the night sky began when he was a kid and was rekindled when his wife, Erin, bought him a telescope for Christmas a few years ago. He started taking pictures of the Horsehead Nebula and Pinwheel Galaxy, to name a few, and the results are stunning. You can see Walker’s work at darkskywalker.com. The process is time-consuming. Walker uses a remote camera set up on a New Mexico mountaintop for maximum darkness. The
56 PINEHURSTLIVINGMAGAZINE.COM
camera downloads the photos into a Dropbox on his laptop. The photos are in black and white but a wheel of seven filters adds the color back. Walker told me that the color takes between one to four hours to develop while another three to nine hours of luminance is necessary to bring optimum light into focus. The finished product, as Walker says, is “very personal.” His wife, Erin, compares the finished photos to an “ink blot test.” Like any work of art, “it’s what each person sees in it,” she says. And as evidenced by Walker’s work appearing on NASA’s website, he is taken very seriously in the world of astrophotography. He has attended conferences on imaging and the folks he’s met there sometimes find their way into his galleries at PGA Tour event. One of those is Michael Miller, who is based in California. The two met in an online forum where astrophotographers post pictures and discuss their unique hobby. Miller is a golfer himself, and he was stunned when he realized Walker played on the PGA Tour. He was there when Walker won the 2014 AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am and Frys.com Open. Miller told me that he loves it when kids ask Walker about his hobby. “Getting our nation’s kids interested in science through astronomy is tremendous,” he says. The bright lights of Charlotte will preclude any serious stargazing. But Walker has work to do anyway, as he plays in the third PGA Championship to be played in North Carolina since 1936. The first was held at Pinehurst No. 2 in 1936. The season’s final major was contested in match play back then and Denny Shute, who was later elected to the World Golf Hall of Fame, beat Jimmy Thomson 3 and 2 for the title. The victory was Shute’s second major championship, coming three years after the Cleveland, Ohio, native had won the Open Championship at St. Andrews. And seven months after his win in
You Text We’ll Drive $40 per person to RDU airport from anywhere in Moore County (min. 2 people) Pinehurst, Shute successfully defended his PGA title, beating Harold “Jug” McSpadden in 37 holes at the Pittsburgh Field Club in Fox Chapel, Pennsylvania. Lee Trevino won the 1974 PGA Championship at Tanglewood Park, a municipal course in Clemmons, North Carolina, where he beat Jack Nicklaus by one stroke. The victory was Trevino’s fifth of six major championships. Trevino famously played that week with a putter he found in the attic of the house where he was staying—and only had one three-putt, on the penultimate hole. In another interesting sidelight, President Richard Nixon resigned that Friday. More history will be made in Charlotte, Aug. 7-13. PL
