From the Editor
I
don’t think envy is the right word. Envy implies covetousness and some other negative, deadly sin connotations. Admiration, maybe? But that seems too altruistic on my part. I feel I have the soul of a sketch artist, but without the prerequisite talent. Does that make me envious or just lost? I deem it as something of a miracle when I see an artist start with a blank canvas and literally bring it to life. It seems unfathomable to me that they can conjure such detail from their hands. What synapses must be in place to make what an artist draws mirror what he sees? When I attempt it, it comes out looking like an unintentional Picasso. What I would give to sit under an oak tree on a fall day in the park and simply sketch a scene out of life. I know, any kind of creative endeavor—writing, painting, music, sculpting—takes practice, but you will grant me there must be a semblance of innate, natural talent percolating under the surface. Genetics surely has some say, but as for the rest, well, if we only knew how to bottle it. The story on the Murphy family is the reason these thoughts have jumped into my mind. Paul and Sharon Murphy both come from musical families, and they have generously shared their natural talent for music to all four of their children. It’s a rich tradition they share with each other, and thankfully, with us each year at the Sunrise for a special Christmas concert. I hope we’ll see you there. Before leaving you to your holiday festivities, I wanted to express a special thank you to Jean Barron Walker, our historical chaperone through the Sandhills for the past three years. As Pinehurst Living’s A Look Back columnist, Jean was the first writer we hired when Amanda and I acquired the magazine. Regardless of the topic, Jean somehow found the nuggets that brought our past back to life. From the Dunes Club on Midland Road in the 1930s and the Pickford Sanitarium in the late 1800s to Annie Oakley and John Philip Sousa, Jean has taken our hand and guided us eloquently through time. Jean is retiring, with her last column in this issue. John Henrik Clarke, an American historian, said, “History is not everything, but it is a starting point. History is a clock that people use to tell their political and cultural time of day. It is a compass they use to find themselves on the map of human geography. It tells them where they are but, more importantly, what they must be.” Jean was our starting point and we will miss her within these pages.

AUL MURPHY’S FIRST SUNRISE THEATER experience wasn’t on the stage, but in the balcony. A young Boy Scout at the time, Murphy and his pals counted on the older kids to buy the tickets, and they’d sneak up to the top unnoticed to catch some Bruce Lee flicks and others outside their “age range.” “Probably not the story you’d expect,” Murphy says with a grin. “But those were good times.” Not the story you’d expect, because today, the Sunrise and Paul Murphy mean two things and two things only—Christmas and music. The Murphy Family Christmas Show returns on Dec. 9 for the seventh consecutive year, bringing

with it nearly two hours of holiday tunes infused with jazz, rock, gospel and even a little Brazilian bossa nova and samba. The concert has become a Christmas tradition for many local families and is an annual sellout; the proceeds benefit the Sunrise, a Southern Pines fixture since 1942. The Murphys and their music have been a local fixture for nearly as long. In addition to being a high school English teacher and band director, Paul’s father, the late Bob Murphy, was the piano man at Pinehurst Resort for over 30 years, filling the lobby with the sounds of Beethoven and Wagner; Armstrong and Sinatra. Each Christmas, a young Paul would join his father at the ivories in the Carolina Dining Room, and for three decades, this duo became the first Murphy Christmas tradition. “My father started me on the trumpet when I was 6,” Murphy recalls. “He also taught piano lessons on the side, and I learned that right behind the kids he taught. I started clarinet in the sixth grade, and by the seventh grade, I was doing clarinet and violin duets with the great Dorothy Scott from New York.” Where his father passed down a love for classical music, Murphy’s mother introduced her children to rock and Motown. When dad wasn’t in the car, the family listened to the Jackson Five and the Beatles. His brother was big on Jimi Hendrix. His other brother was into Bob Marley. Their sister would grow up to be a piano technician, literally rebuilding and regulating pianos for a living. Not surprisingly, Murphy studied music theory and composition at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill after a short stint in the Army. He’d go on to become a composer—he’s run his own music production and publishing company, Fisherman’s Frontier, since 1983—and a high school music teacher for Moore County Schools. In 1997, however, he was called to do more and entered Duke University’s Master of Divinity

program, earning his degree in 2000 in theological studies. In 2011, he earned his Doctor of Ministry degree for Hood Theological Seminary in Salisbury. In 2014, he became pastor at Trinity AME Zion Church in Southern Pines, infusing two of his three biggest loves—ministry and music. That third love is family. Without it, the Murphy Family Christmas doesn’t exist.

The Sunrise Theater, circa 1948
Paul Murphy first met Sharon when the two were in middle school. Her mother was a teacher, and her father also taught piano. “You can say I got an early glimpse of her in middle school,” Paul says, “and somehow, we ended up together. Married at 21. Me a musician, and she … just an incredible vocalist. Incredible.” He says their children practically grew up in the music studio. In fact, they spent so many late nights producing and recording that the kids would sometimes go sleep in the car. “I’m thankful nobody reported us to child services,” he jokes. “But look, the kids loved every minute of it.” Oldest child Kent is a producer, musician, songwriter, composer and CEO whose work has garnered the attention of Dr. Dre, Warner Bros. Records and many others. His work can be heard in several TV shows and films, and his work has recently reached the Asian market from his collaborations with K-pop superstar Kris Wu. Son Drake, a.k.a. A Strike Within, is coming off a huge couple of years that saw him win Best Rock Male at the Carolina Music Awards in 2016 and release a video for his most recent single, “Distorted Dreams,” the following year. Drake started piano lessons at 2 and started making his own mix tapes by 5. Today, he plays more than 12 instruments (including the accordion). Daughter Anna is a musician and an actress who’s had recurring roles in two TV series. She’s also worked as a stand-in on big-budget films like Avengers: Infinity War and The Fate of the Furious in 2017. Musically, she performs under the name Eli, and her latest single, #Hustle, hit iTunes in June. Finally, there’s youngest son, Greene, who co-produced his sister’s first single, “Careless,” last December, and is currently building his own career in Los Angeles as an artist and music engineer. Paul Murphy lights up when talking about his children and their budding careers. They’re all busy, he says, which makes the annual Christmas show that much more important for him and Sharon. It’s one of the few times everybody gets to drop what they’re doing and focus on something as a family. Drake edits the setlists. Anna makes sure the show is fresh and new. “It’s almost like a happy vacation for us,” the patriarch says. “The planning and the preparing for this show is my favorite part. Then we get out there and things start to happen, and I watch my wife and my kids, and I’m just in awe of them.”
18 ASOUTHERNSOPHISTICATION
The idea for the Christmas show was born in 2012, the year Paul Murphy lost his father. Murphy was on the board for the Sunrise Theater and teaching in Robbins when former high school principal Herb Cameron asked him if he’d consider doing a family show for the holidays. While the setlist changes each year, there are a few constants. You’ll get classic Christmas carols. You’ll get some Thelonious Monk and Duke Ellington tossed in there. You’ll get Christmas jazz favorites like “Christmas Time” by Vince Guaraldi. Tickets usually run $20 for VIP seats, $15 for general admission and $10 for children. Proceeds go to support the Sunrise Theater Digital Cinema Campaign, an important cause for the Murphy family because of what the theater has meant to them and means to their community. “From an arts perspective, the Sunrise really is intentional in getting the best movies out there and making them available in a quality, historic facility,” Murphy says. “Not only that, the theater livestreams big events like the New York Metropolitan Opera and the Bolshoi Ballet. It’s incredible.” He also touts the theater as an important historic symbol. In 1962, Voit Gilmore, who was white, and Felton Capel, who was black, purchased tickets at the “whites only” ticket booth at the theater, and also bowled at a now-closed bowling alley and played a round of golf at Mid Pines during their peaceful efforts to desegregate Moore County during the Civil Rights era. Two front row seats at the Sunrise are dedicated to the two men for their actions. “Those two men had a lot to do with the changing of the dynamic of Southern Pines during the early ’60s,” Murphy says. “For the Sunrise Theater, that particular point of significance is still a part of the ethos of this place. I’d love to see the theater live on, and one of the things that our concert does is it brings a broader sense of community to downtown Southern Pines. We’re making sure that all of the residents of our fine town can have access to every wonderful thing that happens here.” PL

HERESE ANNE FOWLER is coming to the Weymouth Center for the Arts and Humanities on Nov. 17 to read from her most recent work: A Well-Behaved Woman, the story of Alva Smith Vanderbilt Belmont. Another historical novel to rival her best-selling Z, published in 2013, Fowler’s visit is expected to be “standing room only”—and with good reason. A former Weymouth Writer-in-Residence, Fowler is coming home. Taking her place on the list of legendary greats to land at Weymouth—Thomas Wolfe, F.

Located on Connecticut Avenue in the heart of town, the classic 9,000-square-foot Georgian Mansion and surrounding grounds has served as a “place of hospitality” since the early 1900s.

Stew A Savory Sensation By Robert Nason
I
t would be hard to find a culture in the world that doesn’t have a recipe for stew. The ultimate comfort food, it’s possible stew was the first meal created with multiple ingredients. Archaeologists found 20,000-year-old pottery in a cave in China that had evidence of being used over a fire (it was initially thought that waterproof and heatproof containers were only invented around 5,000 years ago). From Japan’s iri-dori, one-pot chicken stew, to Ethiopia’s spicy wat stew to Native Americans using hollowed-out trees to simmer stews over the fire, there are countless interpretations of this nutrient-packed concoction. The one element, however, that remains consistent is what defines stew: a dish of meat and vegetables simmered in a covered container. The word stew comes from the French word estuier, which means “to enclose.” It has several entries in some of the oldest known cookbooks, including the Roman book Apicius from the fourth century and the French cookbook Le Viandier, which was written in the 14th century. Easy and savory, stew is the perfect cold weather meal to try this season.
Chef Mark Elliott’s Corsican Beef Stew / Elliott’s on Linden Ingredients:
2 pounds beef (diced into 1-inch pieces) 1 large onion 2 ounces dried porcini mushrooms 1 teaspoon of crushed garlic 1 cup white wine 1 (28-ounce) can of plum tomatoes 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 cup of beef stock Salt and pepper to taste Olive oil
Directions: Preheat oven to 350 F. Peel and halve the onion from top to bottom, then lay the onion flat-side down. Slice thinly so you will end up with even-sized pieces of onion. Place about 3 to 4 tablespoons of olive oil in a large Dutch oven, or other oven-safe stew pot, and heat. Add the onions, garlic and beef. With a spoon, keep the ingredients moving so as not to burn. Cook until the beef is browned. Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Cover with lid and place in a hot oven and cook 1 to 1 1/2 hours until tender. Serve with any sides you like: risotto, potatoes, pasta …. PINEHURSTLIVINGMAGAZINE.COM 27

Asian-style Fish Stew / oprah.com Ingredients:
1 sweet potato 4 leaves kale 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 clove garlic, minced 1 zucchini 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste) 1 teaspoon lime zest
1/4 teaspoon chili flakes 1 large leek or 2 smaller leeks 1 pound mahimahi fillet, cut into bite-size pieces 1 1/2 cups coconut milk 1 tablespoon lime juice 1 handful fresh cilantro, chopped
Directions: Peel and dice the sweet potato. Cut leek into diagonal slices and rinse and chop the kale leaves. Heat olive oil in a saucepan and sauté garlic for a few seconds. Add the chopped sweet potato, zucchini, sea salt, lime zest and chili flakes, and continue to sauté for a couple of minutes. Add about half a cup of water to the veggies and bring to a boil. Cover pot and simmer for about 5 minutes, then add the leek and continue to simmer for 5 minutes. Add the fish and coconut milk, and simmer until the fish is almost cooked through, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add the chopped kale and continue to simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. Serve in bowls, drizzled with lime juice and sprinkled with chopped cilantro.

Heat the oil in a heavy 5 1/2-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add the celery, carrot and onion. Sauté the vegetables until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Stir in the tomatoes with their juices, chicken broth, basil, tomato paste, bay leaf and thyme. Add the chicken breasts; press to submerge. Bring the cooking liquid to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer gently uncovered until the chicken is almost cooked through, turning the chicken breasts over and stirring the mixture occasionally, about 25 minutes. Using tongs, transfer the chicken breasts to a work surface and cool for 5 minutes. Discard the bay leaf. Add the kidney beans to the pot and simmer until the liquid has reduced into a stew consistency, about 10 minutes. Discard the skin and bones from the chicken breasts. Shred or cut the chicken into bite-size pieces. Return the chicken meat to the stew. Bring the stew just to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with crusty bread.PL

Napoleon’s Dynamite Party Trick By Sassy Pellizzari
C
an you guess the use that these objects share in common: a wine glass, an iron, a knife, a snowboard, a corkscrew, a spoon, a credit card and a watch?
Believe it or not, they can all be used to open a Champagne bottle in an alternative way. Despite the “cool dude” feel this technique represents, it holds the elegant name of sabrage (said in a French accent, of course). Ironically, anything said in French sounds very elegant even when you are referring to an amusing, unrefined and slightly perilous way to open a bottle of sparkling wine. The tradition of “sabering” goes back to Napoleon, who started to celebrate his victories by opening a bottle of Champagne with his saber. Using a sharp saber, the risk of getting a hand mutilation or picking off somebody’s eyeball is more prevalent. As a famous Russian proverb says, “Who does not risk, does not drink Champagne.” You will see, however, that once you have learned the physics behind this technique, it really is not too dangerous nor too complicated. Relative to physics, on average, a bottle of Champagne holds a pressure of 90 pounds per square inch. Since the structure of every bottle of sparkling wine is different, the technique starts from choosing the right bottle and the wine inside the bottle. Champagne, or wines that are produced with the champenoise method, allow the wine to get a higher pressure thanks to the second fermentation that takes place inside the bottle. Examples of champenoise method wines are French Champagne, Italian talento, Franciacorta or
30 ASOUTHERNSOPHISTICATION
Spanish cava. Prosecco or other generic sparkling wines have a lower pressure inside the bottle, so the sabrage can be more difficult to perform. The colder the neck of the bottle, the easier it will be. Put the bottle in the freezer for a few minutes or put its neck in ice. Avoid attempting sabrage with warm bottles. Next, choose the gizmo that will be your weapon. As mentioned, you just need any kind of object with a trimmed edge. At home, we frequently use the base of a wine glass. It is not required to use a sharp blade or a sharp object, and actually from personal experience, it is better if it is not sharp. Strip the neck of the bottle from the tinfoil capsule and gently remove the cage from the cork, and, when I say gently I mean it, because the cork could pop out suddenly. At this point the bottle is a cannon ready to fire. Now you must find the trajectory that leads to the target. With your finger, find the longitudinal line that runs up and down on the bottle. This is the seam of the bottle and the junction of the two halves that together make the bottle. This will be the path of your blade. Be sure that nobody is in front of you, as a cork shot in the air flies at a speed of about 50 mph. Hold the bottle at a 45-degree angle and aim it to where you’d like the cork and glass top to fly. You are now ready to pull the trigger or to slash your blade. You do not need to have Arnold Schwarzenegger strength to perform this trick; it is all about the internal
pressure of the wine and not the power of your guns. Apply firm friction and rub your object along the seam of the bottle, focusing on hitting the neck and the top each time and … voilà! Les jeux sont faits! The risk of glass shattering inside the bottle is almost impossible because the internal pressure blows out the wine from the neck together with debris. At the beginning, you might need to hit the neck multiple times but with experience you will be able to open a bottle with just a snap of your fingers. Now that we are getting in the holiday mood, the saber season has just begun! This year, instead of entertaining your guests with another ba-dumching joke or an ugly Christmas sweater, you will be able to flaunt a trick that is worthy of a real “party animal,” leaving everybody speechless. One final bit of advice: Be sure to start the performance at the beginning of your holiday party when you are still quite sober! PL

Candles
My candle burns at both ends; it will not last the night; but ah, my foes, and oh, my friends—it gives a lovely light! –Edna St. Vincent Millay
By J.M. Walter There is something comforting about candlelight,
says Tony Grausso, owner of Seagrove Candle Company in Southern Pines. “There’s the flame, there’s the scent, there’s that sort of remembrance of things past that stirs a memory.” And as if quoting Martha Stewart, he finishes with, “That’s a good thing.” Candles have been in use for 5,000 years. The Egyptians were using wicked candles in 3,000 B.C., but the Romans are generally credited with developing the wicked candle before that time by dipping rolled papyrus repeatedly in melted tallow or beeswax. Evidence of candle use has also been found in ancient China, India and Japan. Tallow and beeswax were the main sources for candle making for thousands of years until the whaling industry of the 18th century, when whale oil was discovered to fix the issues of prior ingredients, namely the smell and durability.
PINEHURSTLIVINGMAGAZINE.COM 45
Whale oil, called spermaceti, burned without the pungent odor of tallow and didn’t soften in the summer like beeswax. It was also available in a larger quantity year-round, making it the first “modern” candle. The invention of paraffin wax soon followed in the 19th century and the largest movement in 20th-century candle making has been the move to soy wax—a sustainable and slower burning wax. It is unknown exactly when candles moved from a source of illumination to being associated with certain holidays and rituals, but it’s not surprising— given the comforting nature of the flame—that people of every culture are drawn to candles. Most countries and religions in the world have a tradition involving candles. The Jewish holiday of Hanukkah, the festival of light, sees a single candle lit in a Menorah for eight nights. During Advent, Christians light four candles in an Advent wreath, one each week, leading up to Christmas. Candles are also used during Kwanzaa, where seven candles, three red, three green and one black sit atop a candelabra called a kinara. In Sweden, St. Lucia’s Day kicks off the holiday season with the tradition of the eldest daughter of a family donning a white robe and an evergreen crown

studded with candles. The Yule log, a log typically with three candles atop it, is burned around Christmas Eve. Although historically, it was burned on the Winter Solstice (Dec. 21-22), the shortest day of the year, to celebrate the return of the sun. Winter Solstice Log doesn’t have the same ring though. The Irish place candles in the windows, a tradition that started during the persecution of Catholics in the 12th century. Irish families would hope that a priest could visit during the Christmas season, to administer sacraments and general hospitality. A candle in the window signaled to a priest that he was welcome in their home. This tradition traveled to America, and eventually came to be a signal of hospitality and invitation for friends and neighbors. In our own country, Grausso shares the colonists’ tradition of the bayberry candle, which is still lighting up the East Coast. After years of making candles from the putrid smelling tallow of beef fat, he explains, colonists found they could make a wax from wax myrtle berries, also known as bayberries. “Ten pounds of berries would render not even a pound of wax, and they could only harvest the berries when they were available, which was in the fall,” he explains. Bayberry bushes are pleasantly aromatic, with dark green, leathery leaves. And unlike holly’s bright red fruit, bayberries are small and a subtle bluish gray. But for the colonists, they were little pieces of heaven. Because it would take so many pounds of berries to make just one pound of wax and because the alternative was so foul smelling, these candles were coveted. “It became tradition to share them with friends and family around the holidays as a sign of health, wealth and happiness,” Grausso says. Burning, not just giving, a bayberry candle on New Year’s is a tradition that evolved from this tradition. The saying goes, “Bayberry candles burned to the socket, bring health to the home and wealth to the pocket!” This holiday season, whether you’re celebrating, soothing, meditating, honoring or just sprucing up your home, a candle can cast a warm and lovely glow for all to enjoy.

Life Under Pines
Gloria Jane By Sundi McLaughlin
A
s a child growing up in Florida, my friends would brag about their grandparents and I couldn’t help but think mine were better. Simply put, no offense. Fact: I had the kindest grandparents who ever lived. I’d visit them every summer in Idaho and pretend to be a Blackfoot Indian … and then to top it all off there was Grandma Gloria, the dancer. I remember memorizing every detail of her costumes, and watched as she’d put on her tap shoes and turned the ordinary into something elegant. Beat that, I’d think haughtily. One of my favorite memories was when I was around 5. Sweet Grandpa Gene laid down a piece of linoleum, Mom grabbed a pair of tap shoes and Grandma Gloria taught me to dance in the basement of their house. I can hear her singsong, “Shuffle step, shuffle step, kick ball change ....” Another reel in my mind plays: her beautiful red hair; a bag of J.C. Penney’s candy swinging from the car radio knob as we sang along with Tom Jones, “It’s Not Unusual;” her perfectly applied lipstick; that sweet, reluctant laugh … and, later, the time she made her delicious homemade eclairs for our wedding rehearsal. She danced from the time she was a young girl and tapped into her 80s without seeming to slow down. So this Thanksgiving as we remember all we have to be thankful for, I will be giving thanks that I was able to spend so much of my life with Grandma Gloria, while being simultaneously heartbroken over the fact this will be the world’s first Thanksgiving without her on the planet. My beautiful Gloria Jane grew up in Idaho and married a Navy man who
eventually became a minister, and the two of them raised five lovely children (my high-spirited mother being the eldest). Many of you probably have met her. If you’re not sure, think back to the time when you were at my shop and a tiny lady tucked in your shirt tag or let you know it was misbuttoned or told you that you had pretty eyes or that you had lipstick on your teeth or complimented your shoes, purse, earrings … you get the picture. This overly cheerful habit of my mom drove Grandma Gloria crazy. Grandma Gloria: Suzanne, you don't have to give every person you meet a compliment! Mom: Yes, I do. I like to brighten peoples’ day. Grandma Gloria: (Eye roll.) You see, my grandma was not particularly effusive. She was quiet, which tickled you all the more once she got to laughing. She seemed almost embarrassed of her laugh as she’d cover her face with her pretty bejeweled hand. She laughed so hard at a scene in I Married an Axe Murderer, starring Mike Myers, that Mom and I couldn’t help but become hysterical ourselves. In fact, that was one of the only romantic comedies I ever took her to. “Oh no,” she would say, “I don’t want to see a bunch of people falling all over themselves, and falling in love, too sappy for my blood.” Gloria preferred a good old action movie or a thriller. A few years back I took her to a matinee of Jack Reacher, starring Tom Cruise. To say the movie was violent would be a gross understatement. I sat
50 ASOUTHERNSOPHISTICATION
in the darkened theater silently berating myself for taking my sweet girl to such a violent film. When the movie ended, we rose from our seats and made our way outside into the blistering Florida sun. As we dug for our sunglasses I asked nervously how she liked the film. Without skipping a beat she proclaimed, “Now that was a ....” My mind raced with what she would say: too violent, awful, nightmareinducing, but instead she finished with a resounding “... really great movie! So much action, good plot … and nothing mushy!” She went on about Tom Cruise rarely disappointing his fans and so on … she was a pill.
It’s hard to reconcile the fact that someone who has been such a constant in my life since the day I was born is no longer with us. I’m always surprised when grief hits you, and yet the world keeps spinning and folks continue with their lives oblivious to the fact that a “one-in-a-million” human being has vanished from our lives. I know Grandma Gloria would hate all this “mush” and sentimentality, but, dang it, I miss her. Grandma Gloria continued to dance till she was 84 when her teacher died of old age. She remained light on her feet as one would imagine a lifelong dancer would, and had absolutely gorgeous legs (she called them “her gams”). Man, I love that. When I lived in Key West and underwater disposable cameras were all the rage, she asked me to go underwater and take a photo of her “gams” as she expertly balanced on her toes at the bottom of the pool. I still have that photo and it never fails to bring a smile to my face. Gloria remained insanely healthy, until seemingly out of the blue she wasn’t. Grandma Gloria lived by a simple set of rules, she was raised in an era that demanded folks be stronger and more resilient than we can probably ever appreciate. She worked hard, kept what she had in near-perfect condition and had a family who loved her very much. I hope she was happy and I hope she knew how much I loved her. So this Thanksgiving, send your love and thanks to those people in your lives that mean the most. And if you think of it, lift your glass and a give a toast to my beautiful Gloria Jane. Right here under the pines .... PL

Healthy Choices
Holiday Survival Guide by Robert Nason
A
few helpful healthy tips to get through the holidays:
Orange you healthy … Amid all the sweets this holiday season, make sure to reach for an orange once in a while as well. Not only will your body appreciate the fresh fruit and dose of vitamin C, but your mind will benefit too. Studies show that the smell of citrus can boost your mood and help alleviate stress. Fresh or frozen Winter limits the amount of local, fresh produce available. Don’t worry, though, because when it’s cold outside, you can get your vegetables from someplace even colder: your freezer. Frozen vegetables are not only convenient and reasonably priced but best of all, they are nutritionally comparable to their fresh counterparts. Fruits and vegetables destined for the freezer aisle are picked at the peak of ripeness and processed to maintain a high percentage of their vitamins. Indeed, some vegetables actually have higher values of nutrition when frozen. Frozen broccoli, for example, has higher levels of vitamin B than fresh. And frozen blueberries are found to have more vitamin C than their fresh equivalent. 62 ASOUTHERNSOPHISTICATION
Don’t Drink Your Sugar Overindulging is nothing new during the holidays. But if you’re watching your sugar intake (note we didn’t say carb intake), don’t waste it on drinks. So have your cake, but drink one of these beverages to avoid extra sugar along the way: • • • •
Red or white wine (white is slightly higher in sugar than red) Beer (no sugar in beer at all) Prosecco Distilled liquors, like vodka, rum and gin (on the rocks is best, but soda water or seltzer will keep it sugar free)
Benefits of Napping We are sleep deprived. Most of us are getting less than the recommended seven to nine hours of sleep every night, and we have modern life to blame. Smart phones, 24-hour news, backlit gadgets, email and text alerts are all distractions from a solid night of sleep. And we should be worried about that. A recent study shows that getting about an hour less of sleep each night can decrease our daytime alertness by 32 percent. Don’t think getting your required zzzs is a priority? Think again. Sleep is related to weight, mood,
productivity, performance, reaction time, memory … should we go on? Studies have shown consistent sleep loss is linked to diabetes, heart disease and obesity. So how do we help our sleep-deprived bodies? With a nap, of course. We know it’s not what you would call the most practical solution, but give it a chance— the benefits are worth it. A 20-minute nap can improve concentration and alertness, while a 90-minute siesta can boost creativity. The art of a good nap includes: • •
•
Time it right: Nap in the afternoon, and more than three hours from bedtime. Location, location, location: A dark, cool (but not cold) room with a white noise machine will help you fall asleep faster. And get horizontal— sitting up is not conducive to good rest. A pillow and light blanket can make or break a good nap. Cream and two sugars: Drink a cup of joe before you lay down to boost the effectiveness of your nap. Caffeine takes about 45 minutes to kick in, so once you’ve awoken from slumber, you’ll be both rested and alert. PL

The Garden
The Poinsettia BY DOLORES MULLER
N
othing says Christmas like a flowering poinsettia. This bold, beautiful plant (euphorbia pulcherrima) can now be found in a range of colors other than red. Bright, colorful bracts surround the small, green and yellow true flowers. The poinsettia is native to Central America and was used by the Aztecs for medicinal and decorative purposes. Joel Poinsett, the first U.S. ambassador to Mexico, was impressed by the beautiful plants and sent cuttings back to his home in South Carolina in 1828. The popularity of the plant grew and was named for him. Contrary to some beliefs, research has shown that the poinsettia is not poisonous but people with latex allergies can be sensitive to the milky sap and should be careful when handling the plants to avoid a rash. If you receive a poinsettia for the holidays, protect your plant from cold temperatures and chilling winds. At home, place it near a sunny window where it will get bright, indirect light for at least six hours a day. Keep it out of direct sun and avoid drafts, keeping temperatures between 65 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Overwatering is a common cause of death, so water only when dry and don’t let the plant sit in water. No fertilizer is needed while the plant is in bloom. To keep your plant for the next season, move it outside when night temperatures do not go below 50 degrees Fahrenheit and prune to keep it bushy and compact. Poinsettias need long nights in complete darkness to initiate flowering. Starting in early October, cover the plant with a cardboard box or keep it in a dark place from about 5 p.m. to 8 a.m. and water sparingly. When buds form in early December, stop the dark treatment and enjoy another season of blooms. In 2002, an act of Congress made Dec. 12 National Poinsettia Day to honor the day of Poinsett’s death in 1851. PL

A Look Back
Above: The Charfield Weaving Building, 1936
66 ASOUTHERNSOPHISTICATION
Anglow Tweeds on Midland Road by Jean Barron Walker Images Courtesy of Tufts Archives
T
he sounds of weavers uniting warp and weft on rhythmic sounding looms was heard in the Anglow Tweeds shop when it opened on Midland Road in December 1936. The shop owners, Harold G. and Margaret Chatfield of Dedham, Massachusetts, both ardent golfers, had wintered in Pinehurst since the 1920s. Margaret Chatfield was president of the Silver Foils women’s golf organization in 1931-32. The Chatfields purchased the Rose Cottage on Magnolia Road in 1929, one of the first cottages built by James Walker Tufts, founder of Pinehurst. After establishing their first business for handwoven wool tweeds in Marion, Massachusetts, in 1932, the Chatfields looked at other places, such as White Sulfur Springs and Hot Springs, Virginia, to build a second weaving facility. They decided to build it in Pinehurst, since the warm, dry climate of this region was ideal for drying the tweeds out of doors, an important factor in finishing the cloth.
In May 1936, the Chatfields purchased 10 acres on Midland Road and built a new manufacturing plant for their business, which they called Anglow Tweeds. The building, art deco in design, measured 30 by 150 feet, with square lines and many windows. It had a small swimming pool in the rear court and an apartment above the main building. The interior walls of the display room were painted a soft orchid, with a side wall and ceiling of light blue. A bay window in the showroom provided natural light that highlighted the bolts of finished tweed fabrics in colors ranging from soft pastels to strong autumnal hues. A long, rectangular room in the rear of the building, known as the “Loom Room,” housed multiple looms on a wooden floor. Anglow Tweeds was the nearest thing to an industry located in the resort area of the Sandhills. The Chatfields established the business in the belief that handwoven materials of the highest quality could be made in this country as well as in England and Scotland, and that a market could be developed here for their American tweeds.
PINEHURSTLIVINGMAGAZINE.COM 67

68 ASOUTHERNSOPHISTICATION
In the Pinehurst Outlook of Feb. 27, 1937, Harold Chatfield said that the name “Tweed” came about as an error. The original name of the exported cloth was tweel, Scottish for twill, which was a rough-surfaced fabric woven in diagonal lines. The story goes that a wrongly written invoice to a London merchant accidentally created the name tweed. The misinterpreted word on the invoice, tweed, was understood to be taken from the River Tweed that flows along the Scottish border. The cloth became known as tweed, a fabric design that uses various parallel weaves in two or more colors. The Chatfields and their son formed a unique family business, with Margaret, a gifted artist, designing the patterns and selecting the colors for the tweed fabrics, while Harold handled the business end, and son, Henry, who designed and made all the looms, was in charge of manufacturing in the plant. The looms were capable of weaving cloth 80 inches wide, whereas most looms of that time could produce cloth only 40 to 50 inches wide. Each loom had 80 hammers, which allowed the use of multiple yarns for intricate tweed patterns. Every step in the manufacture of the tweed cloth was carried out at Anglow Tweeds, from dyeing the wool to weaving the finished cloth. It was all done with equipment designed and built specially for the shop. The last step in this hands-on process was to hang the woven tweed yardage outside on a long fence so it could dry in the sunshine. Anglow Tweeds was one of the few industries of its kind in the country and the only one making a handwoven fabric where every operation from weaving the fabric to tailoring a customer’s garment was done right there in the Midland Road shop. All of the tweeds were woven by local women trained on hand looms. By 1940, there were 25 employees in the Midland Road shop. Initially, only yardage on the bolt was available for sale. Soon, though, the sales room offered women’s hats and ready-to-wear women’s light-weight tweed suits designed by Margaret Chatfield, as well as a special collection of tweeds for men’s top coats and suits. All were sold under the Anglow Tweeds trade name of Per Mano Inc. In the early 1940s, Anglow Tweeds’ own head tailor and milliner, Mr. Frank Vokacek, who learned his trade in his native Czechoslovakia, came from New York City to the Midland Road shop each winter and spring season to measure customers for their personal orders. In February 1941, an advertisement in The Pilot read: Hand Woven Anglow Tweeds of Pinehurst North Carolina All Virgin Wool by the Yard Large Variety of Designs and Colors ORIGINAL MODELS for Immediate Wear CUSTOM TAILORING SPECIAL COLLECTION of Tweeds for Men Our Head Tailor, Mr. Frank, Is Here for the Season On Double Road Half-way Between Pinehurst and Southern Pines
PINEHURSTLIVINGMAGAZINE.COM 69
Margaret Chatfield drew her inspiration for color combinations in the woven tweeds directly from nature. She said, “Anything which is intrinsically beautiful can be interpreted in another medium.” Margaret, who painted under the signature M.B.L. Chatfield, was recognized nationally by naturalists as well as art critics for her accurate botanical studies in watercolor and gouache. In 1945 she received an award of merit from the American Orchid Society for her paintings. In January 1948, Kennedy and Company, art dealers on Fifth Avenue in New York, advertised a showing of Chatfield paintings which included the watercolor Althea. Their brochure stated, “Mrs. Chatfield has achieved a command of her medium which allows full expression of a sensitive understanding of floral beauty.” In March, this exhibit was displayed in the Garden Center of the Cleveland (Ohio) Museum of Art. Through the years of owning Anglow Tweeds, the Chatfields had sales shops on Madison Avenue in New York
City, and on Nantucket Island at the corner of Main and Orange Streets. They would close their Midland Road shop in the late spring and return to their home and sales shop on Nantucket for the summer, returning to Pinehurst again in mid-October. In the late 1930s, the Midland Road business became their only weaving facility. After selling the Anglow Tweeds name and business in 1950 to Mr. and Mrs. W.C. Deadwyler, the Chatfields retired to Nantucket. Margaret’s paintings continued to be shown in Nantucket art galleries. She was a member of the Nantucket Artists Association and the Garden Club of America. After a lengthy illness, she died in 1956; Harold died in 1961. Anglow Tweeds never again was the vibrant business it was when the Chatfields owned it. The business closed and filed for bankruptcy in 1960, with the looms sold to Smithson, Inc., a textile company in Southern Pines. The following December, Midland Crafters, selling American handmade crafts, opened in the Chatfield’s art deco building on Midland Road.

Book Review
This Is the Life By Robert Gable
T
alented musicians have a knack for tapping into the universal feelings we all share. Very few, though, can blend music from different cultures and create a new style of sound. Paul Simon is one of those special artists, and he has managed to make creative music for over half a century. Rock’n’roll, doo-wop, gospel, folk music, African music, South American music from the Andes—all kinds of music appeal to Simon. The lyrics he has written to accompany the music rival the best songwriters of America. Robert Hilburn tells his unique story in Paul Simon: The Life. Simon came to prominence in the 1960s as the driving force behind the duo Simon and Garfunkel. He wrote the songs, and Art Garfunkel added pitch-perfect harmony. He wrote “The Sound of Silence” in the fall of 1963 after the Kennedy assassination. His songs were featured in the now classic movie, “The Graduate.” By the end of the ’60s, they were a popular sensation and a commercial success. In March 1971, the duo won Best Album, Best Record and Best Song at the Grammy Awards. “Bridge Over Troubled Water” was a worldwide hit. And at that peak moment, Paul Simon decided he wanted to break up the act. Hilburn explains why, trying to be impartial— although, to be fair, it’s mostly Simon’s side of the story. He includes snippets of Art Garfunkel interviews from other sources, but Hilburn didn’t interview Garfunkel directly. Tensions had a way of simmering between the two; they were old friends who liked to bicker, as only old friends can. Art wanted to try his hand at movie stardom. And Simon didn’t want to be known as the guy who writes songs for Garfunkel to sing. (Garfunkel sealed the break-up when he wouldn’t tell audiences that Simon was the writer behind “Bridge Over Troubled Water.”) There is much more to Paul Simon, of course, than his seven years in Simon and Garfunkel. Hilburn would say that was just the first stage of his musical career. Simon’s vision has usually found the next big thing, musically speaking. While making his music, he has rubbed elbows with everybody in the recording business from the 1960s until now. Legendary producer Clive Davis says in the book, “In fact, I felt his talent went beyond his generation. He also fit in with the greats before him, the Cole Porters and Irving Berlins, as someone who

combines an incredible feel for melody with a literate lyric sense that is second to none.” Hilburn has been steeped in popular music for more than 30 years as a music critic for the LA Times. He knows the genre and knows the artists. His examination of Simon’s career is divided into six main parts, and he chronologically proceeds through Simon’s life and times. Hilburn interviewed Simon regularly between 2014 and 2017 for more than a hundred hours. Simon agreed to let him have control over the contents of the book. Hilburn contacted family and friends of Simon to get dates and facts straight. Normally reluctant to talk about his private life, Simon eventually let down his guard. Hilburn has done his best to create a complete and objective account. The extensive Notes and Bibliography sections allow you to peruse all kinds of information. And the Index makes it easy to find the who’s-who of his wide-ranging career. Hilburn keeps the writing crisp, giving a thorough account of Simon’s life without getting bogged down in minutiae. He gives Simon a chance to talk, and he lets friends and fellow musicians chime in to complete the portrait of the artist. Since Simon’s story spans more than six decades, the author gives you a snapshot of American culture over the last half century. Now 76, he keeps on going. He recently gave the last concert of his Farewell Tour in Queens, New York, not far from his boyhood home. He may slow down a little, but his musical story is far from over. PL

Baby Steps By Toby Raymond
“
If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.” Benjamin Franklin originally coined the phrase but I first heard it from Jane Savoie when she was at Equine Affaire in Springfield, Massachusetts, several years ago. I remember she shared several pearls of wisdom that day, but one in particular really stood out: a horse and rider partnership requires T-R-A-I-N-I-N-G, or in other words, repetition … lots and lots of repetition. It sounds simple, but there’s a kind of low-vibration subtext to that. What if you’re doing it wrong … over and over again? If you’re lucky enough to find the elusive unicorn, however, he or she will forgive us our transgressions more than a few times. In addition, this rarified creature will have had a good start in life and will know what to do even if we don’t. Unfortunately, for the many other horses that come with baggage, it can be a roller coaster ride. But even so, it is still possible to untangle the wires. Take Nero, a failed racehorse who had even less to recommend him after the track. With unexceptional looks and an unwillingness to go forward, it was inconceivable to think such a horse would have any potential, much less become an Olympian.
74 ASOUTHERNSOPHISTICATION
The story goes that Alois Podhajsky, the internationally renowned director of the Spanish Riding School, took Nero under his wing. How such a horse landed there in the first place is a mystery, yet, in my opinion, the real mystery is why Podhajsky decided to take him at all. As a Thoroughbred, his breeding was as far from that of the famed Lipizzaner as you can get, plus Nero was a trial from the beginning. It seems he was too nervous to work in an enclosed arena, so Podhajsky decided to take him on long, quiet hacks, careful to avoid, “OMG! I’m outta here” curves and turns. After several months of keeping to a slow, steady pace Nero started to relax and eventually came around. But as is the way with horses, there were other problems to face. Nero had typical Thoroughbred “thin soles” that resulted in a series of lamenesses requiring long stretches of rest. Later, when he had sufficiently recovered and was finally ready to compete, his sensitive nature continued to pose challenges. Everything from flower boxes placed around the arena to the perimeter fence itself was a cause for alarm. Apparently undaunted, Podhajsky persevered, which paid off big time when they danced their way to the podium for a bronze medal at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin. In fact, it is widely acknowledged the pair would have been awarded the gold but for the decidedly lower scores given by the Nazi German judges who instead
awarded top honors to their own across the board. Of course, not many riders have Podhajsky’s skills and not every horse will turn out to be Nero, but even when you’re looking for an uncomplicated Steady Eddie, the path is not always clear, as a friend of mine in Michigan will attest. Having gone intermediate back in the day, her wish, now that she’s of a certain age, was to find a reliable mount also of a certain age who would take her over the training level jumps before she calls it quits. So what happened? She fell in love with Andromeda (Andy), a 4.5-year-old Irish Sport Horse, not even close to the packer she had in mind. Luckily for my friend, Andy seems to be part unicorn so far. Fingers crossed she stays that way! As for my boy and me, we’re in a lesson program, and thanks to my instructor Anne, whose keen eye and clear way of communicating has helped me stay on track, we have been making consistent progress. And while my horse and I are at the tippy beginning of the training scale, it’s incredibly gratifying when the least little thing clicks. It reminds me of what a friend once said, when referring to her Fédération Équestre Internationale (FEI) jumper and how she got there: “Baby steps, baby steps.” So, even though there are many ways to ride your horse, when all’s said and done, there really is only one thing that pulls it together for everyone, and that thing is ... well ... you guessed it.

T
he 2017-18 PGA TOUR season had a little bit of everything. Two first-time major winners—the excitable and enigmatic Patrick Reed at the Masters and the exquisitely understated Francesco Molinari at the Open Championship. The other two majors belonged to one Brooks Koepka, extending a phenomenal run that dates back to the 2017 U.S. Open. With his successful title defense at Shinnecock Hills and victory at the PGA Championship, Koepka has now won three of the last six majors. Then there was a North Carolina native, Webb Simpson, winning The Players Championship in dominating fashion. Simpson, whose parents owned a home at the Country Club of North Carolina in Pinehurst while he was growing up, had built such a big lead on Sunday at TPC Sawgrass that even after he double-bogeyed the 18th he still won by four. But the final two weeks of the season were, without doubt, the most memorable of the campaign that ended at Le Golf National outside Paris in late September. For very different reasons, too. The first was joyous and rejuvenating as Tiger Woods won the Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club. It was his first victory since the 2013 World Golf ChampionshipsBridgestone Invitational and completed a comeback marked by surgeries and setbacks that left a lot of people legitimately wondering if the man many believe to be the greatest of all time would ever hoist a trophy again. Woods had four back operations from March 2014 to April 2017. He didn’t play a single PGA Tour event in 2016
78 ASOUTHERNSOPHISTICATION
and made only one start in 2017 before being sidelined by a spinal fusion procedure. At the time, he said he was just hoping to be able to live a normal life and enjoy doing things with his kids. “I couldn’t sit. I couldn’t walk. I couldn’t lay down without feeling the pain in my back and my leg,” Woods recalled. “That was a pretty low point for a very long time.” Woods raised our hopes—and his—when he posted consecutive top-five finishes in March. And when he finished in the top 10 in the last two majors, holding the lead briefly on Sunday at Carnoustie, his fans began dreaming of more. And the 42-year-old with the surgically repaired back finally delivered at East Lake. Woods held a share of the lead after the first and second rounds, led by three after 54 holes and ended up winning by two. The victory left Woods two shy of tying Sam Snead’s record total of 83 Tour wins. A near stampede of humanity rushed onto the 18th fairway after Woods hit his approach and ringed the green to see history made. The man not normally known for showing his emotions admitted he had a hard time not crying as he was enveloped by such support. “It was just a grind out there,” Woods would later say. “I loved every bit of it. The fight and the grind and the tough conditions and just have to suck it up and hit shots, and I loved every bit of it.” The mood was still euphoric as Woods boarded a charter plane to France that night for the biennial Ryder Cup matches. He’d started the year as a vice captain but after
those strong performances in the final two majors, U.S. skipper Jim Furyk made him one of his picks. Woods joined Phil Mickelson, who had broken a five-year winless drought earlier in the year; Bryson DeChambeau, the No. 7 player in the world and winner of the first two FedExCup Playoffs events, and Tony Finau on the team. Five other players ranked among the top-10 in the world sent the Americans—who were trying to win on foreign soil for the first time in 25 years—to Paris as the favorites. But it wasn’t to be. The Europeans jelled, as usual, and everyone contributed at least one point to the resounding 17.5-10.5 win. Molinari and Tommy Fleetwood were near flawless and Sergio Garcia, one of Thomas Bjorn’s Captain’s Picks, became the alltime Ryder Cup points leader with his 3-1-0 record for the week. The U.S. Team struggled once again—only Finau, Simpson, Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth had winning records—and Woods, Mickelson and DeChambeau were completely shut out. The worst part, though? Well, that may have been the finger-pointing that followed by some members of a team that simply was outplayed. So what does that two-week rollercoaster mean for 2019? Here’s hoping more good things from Tiger Woods—and a respite from any more Ryder Cup rantings. PL

6th Hole Pinehurst No. 4
Par 6, 428 yards Designer: Gil Hanse This September, the new design of Pinehurst No. 4 by famed golf architect Gil Hanse was revealed. Hanse’s innovative design uses the natural topography and native sandscapes to create dramatic vistas and a true test of golf. Perhaps the most stunning vista comes at the 6th hole, a challenging uphill par 3, where the green is at the pinnacle of No. 4’s highest elevation. Standing on the green, the player can see parts of 15 holes of No. 4, which will serve as the companion course when the U.S. Amateur returns to Pinehurst in August 2019.
