From the Editor P

hoebe Ann Moses was born on August 13, 1860, in a small cabin on the western frontier of Ohio, about 100 miles north of Cincinnati. The sixth of seven children, Phoebe experienced a typical frontier existence in the mid-19th century—a constant struggle for survival. She learned early that dinner was whatever you could shoot outside your front door, and she would often accompany her father hunting and trapping.

When she was six, her father left the family in a blizzard to deliver grain to a local mill. He returned several hours later frozen nearly to death, and his health suffered. He died of pneumonia a year later. At risk of starvation and losing the family home, Phoebe took up her father’s Kentucky rifle and shot her first squirrel from the cabin’s front porch.

“I was eight years old when I made my first shot,” she later said, “and I still consider it one of the best shots I ever made.”

As you’ll learn from this issue’s A Look Back (page 48), she was such a natural, she started making money hunting game for others, eventually making enough to pay off the $200 mortgage on the family home.

Phoebe, of course, in known by another name. As Annie Oakley, she would become one of the greatest entertainers of her time, most memorable with the Buffalo Bill Wild West Show. But she was more than just an entertainer. She broke down barriers throughout her life. She was a suffragist in action, a patriot and a philanthropist, donating her time and talent for innumerable charities.

Indeed, at the start of the Spanish-American War in 1898, Oakley wrote a letter to President William McKinley volunteering to organize and train a regiment of female shooters. “… I am ready to place a company of fifty lady sharpshooters at your disposal.

Every one of them will be an American and as they will furnish their own arms and ammunition will be little if any expense to the government.” She made a similar offer at the start of World War I. Both offers were declined, but she went on to make a difference in others ways during both wars.

Learning about Annie Oakley’s life and how much she gave back, it feels rather appropriate that Jean Barron Walker’s A Look Back story on Oakley’s time in Pinehurst is in the same issue as our annual Uncommon Good story (page 16). We are privileged to celebrate the giving legacy of Annie Oakley, as well as honor the generosity of those living amongst us today.

MOORE COUNTY

was made for cycling.

There’s the north side— the “clay country”—with its scenic farmlands, large oaks and steep inclines along winding country roads. Then there’s the southern portion, below the ridge that cuts through the county between Carthage and Southern Pines, painted with golden rolling sandhills and the virgin green grasses where horses graze and golfers tote their clubs.

“And those roads,” says Mac Canon, a man who has ridden them for over 40 years. “You venture five miles off U.S. [Highway] 1 on either side, and you’ll find some of the nicest, well-paved roads in North Carolina.”

Moore County was made for cycling. And for 41 years, the Tour de Moore road races and century rides have been the preeminent events showcasing this distinction. And while the April races—which in their heyday drew Olympic and Tour de France cyclists and some of the top athletes in the world—have been on hiatus since 2015, the annual century ride (now in its 28th year) continues to attract hundreds of cyclists of all ages and skill levels. Held every Labor Day since 1989, the Tour de Moore Century Ride—on Sept. 4 this year—starts and finishes at the Campbell House on Connecticut Avenue in downtown Southern Pines and features 28-, 50- and 100-mile ride options.

Anywhere between 350 and 500 riders are expected to participate this year, says Elizabeth Mueller, organizer of the Sandhills Cycling Club, which hosts the Tour de Moore.

“What I like most about this event and cycling in general is that it’s a social sport,” says Mueller, who owns Rainbow Cycles in downtown Southern Pines with her husband, John. “I’ve always enjoyed that aspect of it—it’s more fun when you’re riding with friends, taking in the scenery and meeting new people along the way. And we have a community here that really supports this event and what we’re doing.”

That support was born in 1976, when local attorney Bruce Cunningham and the late David Drexel put their heads together to

12 PINEHURSTLIVINGMAGAZINE.COM

create a local event not just for Southern Pines and Pinehurst residents, but for all of Moore County. For Drexel, who died in 2002, the goal was to not only promote cycling, but tourism, too—a scenic view of everything the county had to offer. After much legal wrangling with the North Carolina Highway Patrol over laws banning racing on state highways, the first Tour de Moore attracted 46 riders, including a 19-year-old kid from Charlotte with a great cyclist’s name—Mac Canon. Canon finished third in that inaugural race. Forty-one years later, he’s still an ambassador.

“Bruce and David started this race to bring the people of Moore County together,” Canon says. “On the north side, you have your bluecollar workers and your farmers, and further south, you have golfers, your horse people and a ton of retirees. But it didn’t take long for both sides to embrace this event. The town of Carthage really rolled out the welcome mat every year.”

Cunningham ran the Tour for the next 34 years, handing the reins to Canon and fellow rider Todd Stout in 2010. Like his friend, Stout was a race veteran (his first event was in 1988) before he became an organizer. He called the Tour de Moore the “crown jewel of racing in the Southeast” at its peak.

“Everyone wanted to win it,” Stout says. “Our biggest year, we had 225 riders. Imagine that number with full road closures and police escorts—it was huge. And for the racers, if you had a win at the Tour de Moore on your resume, it was a pretty big deal.”

Canada’s national team would use the race as a qualifier for the Olympics, Stout says. Third-place Tour de France rider and Texas native Bobby Julich added his name to the competitor list and finished fifth at the Tour de Moore.

“It’s a challenging ride,” Stout says. “It’s not super hilly, and there aren’t any long climbs. But it’s very rolling. And one of the steepest climbs in the 100-mile race comes toward the end. When you’ve spent an entire day competing, that climb is a killer.”

To attract more spectators, Cunningham, Drexel and others in the community created Springfest—something to bring out those

who aren’t necessarily cycling enthusiasts to create a crowd at the finish line in Southern Pines. Springfest took off, says Stout, adding an instant celebratory atmosphere to the Tour de Moore. “Before long, Springfest became the draw, and the race was the sideline,” Stout says. “The race became more and more difficult to run.”

Increased traffic on Moore County highways and increased costs to safely patrol the route led to the race’s demise in 2015. The Century Ride, however, lives on.

“The Labor Day ride was created so anybody could ride this course,” Stout says. “You didn’t have to be a seasoned rider to experience the same challenge, and that was the draw. And it’s still the draw. I’ll be riding it again this year—all 100 miles. It’s nice that it’s still going strong.”

Parker McConville, a Sanford native who attended high school at O’Neal School, won the Tour de Moore competitive race in 2010. It was in high school where he first got into cycling, taking part in a charity ride from New Bern to Emerald Isle and falling in love with the sport at time when American Greg LeMond was winning three Tour de France races and before Lance Armstrong would take the popularity of the sport in the U.S. to a different stratosphere.

When the professional cycling world began to crumble with doping investigations and findings against the world’s top racers, McConville stuck with the sport. He’s opened a shop in Carrboro, PARcycles Inc., and organized his own short-course criterium race in downtown Sanford from 2008 to 2013.

He says that despite the financial obstacles races throughout the state are facing and the safety concerns riders have on state highways, the sport itself in North Carolina remains strong.

“There’s been a tremendous growth in mountain biking,” McConville says, “and there’s been huge growth in charity rides. You look at Asheville and their annual Tour de Kale … it’s spectacular. The whole town comes out, the fire department follows the riders, the roads are blocked off, there are state troopers on bikes.”

The Tour de Moore, he says, remains a top attraction for cyclists like him. The Century Ride, he says, marked the first time he’d ever gone over 100 miles in a day.

“I’ve ridden a lot of these roads over the years,” he says. “And it really is one of the nicest routes in our state. The roads are perfect. They’re rolling, and the scenery is always changing. The farmland, the horse ranches. It’s absolutely beautiful. Moore County is blessed.”

More than the roads and the views, McConville says the reason for the sport’s popularity in the region and state is the people. The cycling community, he says, is a close-knit group that revels in shared experiences and advocates for the safety of its fellow riders.

“It’s a group with very similar ideas about what’s important for the sport,” he says. “There are some who do it for the exercise or the competition, but what they soon discover is the camaraderie.”

“There’s nothing better than a group ride with a bunch of friends,” adds Stout. “You’re not racing. You’re just riding. You’re hanging out with likeminded people. And you’re out in the open air taking in some of the most beautiful parts of our state.”

And for Stout, it’s a sport that even the “old guys” can excel in. “There aren’t a lot of sports where you can remain competitive into old age,” he says. “I still race against the young guys. They have their youth, but I have hundreds of thousands of miles of experience in these legs. That’s not the case in sports like running. But cycling? Unless you’re crashing a lot, it’s not a sport that’s tough on the body.”

UNCOMMON GOOD

Stories by Nan Leaptrott Photography by Don McKenzie

KÄrin Kent

Education Advocate, Parents for Moore

Moore County faces an education funding crises.

Kärin Kent, advocate with Parents for Moore, wants this message known.

Parents for Moore was started in 2012 by two elementary school teachers. In 2013, to further help the organization’s cause, Kärin recognized the need to share with larger audiences information, frustrations and questions about public schools, and the crucial need for more educational funding. So she began traveling Moore County to inform our community, making her voice heard at county meetings to educate state legislators and urge them to support funding for Moore County Schools.

Kärin is a nonpracticing pediatrician, a wife and mother of two boys who believes in public school education. “I think kids have a broader learning experience when attending public school. They are able to meet and communicate with kids unlike themselves,” she says. “They learn life lessons which will take them on interesting journeys throughout life. The bottom line: Our schools need funding, but until the screws in Raleigh can be undone our school system will come up short.”

For the last five years, she has dedicated countless hours learning where the education funding needs are in the schools, connecting with like-minded parents and community leaders, and reaching out to politicians.

“Unfortunately, moving the mountain of politics in the state is slow. It will take an election to show legislators if they are not working for public education, they are out.”

And this slow process has an immediate and lasting impact on our schools. “They have not addressed class size reduction expenses, delaying the loss of 11 teachers, three school nurses, eight digital education facilitators, two IT techs, one psychologist/social worker and one school counselor for one year. Still the problem remains the same.”

What can we do? “Show up. Speak up! Read the paper or anything put out by Parents for Moore. If you own a business, property, work or live in Moore and care about our kids’ education, let your voice be heard!”

UNCOMMON GOOD Anne Friesen

Nonprofit Executive, Friend to Friend

“One out of four women is subject to domestic abuse.

That person may be well-dressed. You may sit by her at church. She may be a neighbor, a co-worker but make no mistake about it that person crosses your path.”

This staggering statistic is the reality Anne Friesen, executive director of Friend to Friend, faces every day. Anne, a native of Pinehurst, has 12 years of professional experience in the human resources service field, creating educational programs and materials for building stronger families, and collaborating with noted psychologist John Rosemond.

Anne is a tireless volunteer with a winsome personality that lends itself to working with others. She serves on several boards, presents frequent classes on helping women be self-sufficient and also taught Sunday school at Brownson Memorial Presbyterian Church.

When Friend to Friend offered her a job, Anne thought she would commit to work with them on a part-time basis, but her first day on the job changed her mind.

“I needed a sign to let me know this was where I now needed to serve. When I visited the Friend to Friend Women’s Shelter, I didn’t expect the sign would take me back to my childhood. I didn’t expect to see the compassionate, bright, beautiful, blue-eyed woman who was once my babysitter, now a victim of domestic abuse.

This proves no one is immune to a situation they didn’t ask for, didn’t cause, didn’t deserve.”

Anne found a new calling, a different direction for her life. She wants to help with the many issues Friend to Friend addresses, from domestic violence to human trafficking, which continues to escalate in North Carolina and around the country at alarming numbers.

Anne Friesen is passionate about life, her work and our community. Her philosophy is, “The way to strengthen our community is to strengthen the family.”

UNCOMMON GOOD Reco Washington Pinehurst Police Officer

Reco Washington is a tall, strong, kind, humble man. He helps in more ways than one to keep

our streets safe, as a master patrol officer with the Pinehurst Police Department and as a volunteer with Moore Buddies, working with children who often come from a dysfunctional or disadvantaged environment.

His desire is to make a difference through Moore Buddies by demonstrating to them that police officers are not to be feared. “We are there to protect, help them,” he says. And he carries this same message to work. “When I stop someone for a traffic violation, or for DUI, I’m not there to judge. I simply care that people are safe on our roads. I care that people who are stressed, driven to substance abuse or alcohol abuse to get help before a more significant, perhaps a deadly incident happens.”

Reco is also an artist. “I try to draw at least two hours each day. I love to capture the essence of a scene or a person on canvas. I use pencil and ink for my drawings.”

He draws landscapes, still life and animals, but it’s the portraits, especially of children, that are his favorite thing to put on canvas. “My drawings are not for sale in the marketplace.

They are commissioned, so every painting is personal. I recently drew a portrait of a real estate broker, and a little girl portrait for my sister.”

Whether Reco is competing in a Tough Mudder obstacle course competition, helping a child to keep out of trouble, doing his work as a police officer or painting a portrait to share, Reco exhibits what is indeed uncommon good in our community.

Eve Avery

Business Owner, Eve Avery Boutique

UNCOMMON GOOD

Eve Avery is a petite woman, a woman of style, a woman who

renders a service not only to her fashion clients but to others in our community. She exudes what Walt Whitman wrote: “The habit of giving only enhances the desire to give.”

Eve’s love affair with fashion began at an early age. “I would wear to school a paisley top with checkered pants. Finally, mother would let me mix and match in any way I saw fit. This love took me down the fashion runway. I have been in the business for 16 years, first working in some very fine shops then opening my own boutique on NE Broad Street in Southern Pines.”

Walk into her boutique and a palette of raspberry, blue, citron and olive greet you, as well as high fashion styles you won’t find in other places. “I believe in mix-and-match, utilizing a capsule collection of interchangeable pieces for my client to extend their wardrobe. I feel passionately and care about people and how they can enhance their personality by the way they dress. If a client doesn’t look good in an outfit, I will not sell it to them.”

Fashion, however, is not the only thing that interests Eve. She is noted for what she gives back to our community. Recently, she was recognized for her tireless work with Miss Greater Sandhills and the Miss Greater Carolina Pageants. Eve offers not only her professional acumen to the contestants but she also provides them with substantial gift cards to use at her boutique.

Eve also supports many worthy causes from Backpacks for Kids (“a favorite”) and the Humane Society to Women of the Pines and United Way, as well as supporting local artists and other local businesses. “My name is on the front door, I can do no less than to give back to my community.”

Greg Combs

Business Owner, May Street Bicycle Shop

“If we build it, they will come.” And come they have to May Street Bicycle Shop in Southern Pines, owned by Greg Combs, a former sports management professor. This is not just a bicycle shop, it is a lifestyle where veterans hang out to learn about Greg’s Velo Smart Performance Lab, to chat, to have a cup of coffee before a ride or a cold beer afterward.

Greg focuses on coaching, matching, and fitting the right clients to the right bikes, products and services for their specific needs and providing more options for each individual rider, most of whom are wounded warriors.

Greg has 35 years of experience in training, competing, coaching cycling and other endurance events, including competing as a Category 1 USA cyclist during the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta and at other cycling events throughout Europe.

His personal journey did not deter his desire to help veterans who had physical challenges. He competed with some (as a tandem bike pilot) and mentored visually impaired athletes for the 1996 Summer Paralympics.

Greg continues to use his knowledge and experience to help veterans. His motto is “Shop local, buy veteran.” He not only encourages veterans to own their own business he also puts on many fundraising events for them.

“At first, veterans are apprehensive about owning their own business. It is a different lifestyle for them. Most guys undervalue their worth in the civilian market. However, with their work history and work effort, that translates into business,” he says. Greg is there to guide them on their journey.

“Today, on our streets you may pass a cyclist and never realize they may have a limb missing, suffer from PTSD or numerous other handicaps. They are our veterans. They don’t want accolades. They simply want to cycle free.”

You can’t explain it, but his drying up, the heat and dryness also affects face, it looks like something is wrong. And how the wine will taste. Extremely hot you know it right when you see him.” weather makes the fruit ripen quicker, A perfectly Italian response, from Francesco Baricci, owner and winemaker for Baricci Brunello, as we look out on his vineyards in Montalcino. I had asked him how does he know when his grapes are Baricci Brunello di Montalcino dangerously suffering from a drought.

Taste: Persistent aroma, elegant and alluring.

Why? The progressive or wealthy making the wine more intense, and the producers may have their own manmade alcohol content higher.

The harvesting of the grapes must be done very early in the morning, otherwise the heat will accelerate the fermentation prematurely. Some producers even do the harvesting in the middle of the night, to have a near-perfect cooler temperature to ensure the grapes do not begin to ferment.

The grapes must also be completely dry before being picked. Each little detail has an important role to play.

Once the grapes have been harvested, it is time to break the skins and begin the fermenting process. An iconic image is producers stomping on the grapes with their feet. (Some producers still do this, and produce great wines, such as famous Dolceacqua producer Nino Testalonga).

It’s then time to separate the skins from the juice. The skins give the grapes a more tannic taste, sometimes even a carbonated taste, and a darker color.

So, depending on how the winemaker wants his final product to taste, he decides how long to leave the skins and juice together.

The fermentation period is the process of the yeast consuming the sugar which then becomes alcohol. It is usually a quick process, just a few days, in which the wine is stored in large steel vats (but you may also see the use of cement or wood vats).

After, the wine is aged and put in barrels, barriques, steel or even cement until it is ready to be put in bottles. The winemaker and enologist will taste the wine often as it ages, usually weekly, eventually making the decision on when it is ready to be bottled.

Since 2017 has had such record-breaking heat waves and dryness, it will be a very particular year for Old World wines.

It is up to each producer to determine how their vines are doing, and what the process will be after the harvest to acquire the perfectly desired taste for their fruit.

As Francesco finished describing his potential plan for the 2017 vintage aging process for his brunello, I ask how this may compare to others. He found it hard to answer. He said, “How do we compare? We are small, it’s hard to compare to everyone else. We are just a teardrop in the ocean.”

It Ta k e s a Vi ll a g e

story by GREG GIRARD

I

t was late December 1978, just before Christmas, and Marty McKenzie was looking out his office window in downtown Pinehurst thinking about the future. He noticed, not for the first time, that the Village was quiet—too quiet—and he wondered what could be done to about it. Later in the day, as he was Christmas shopping in Fayetteville with his wife (“searching for a G.I. Joe”), the same thoughts continued to echo through his mind. How do we attract more visitors to Pinehurst Village?

30 PINEHURSTLIVINGMAGAZINE.COM

PINEHURSTLIVINGMAGAZINE.COM 31

“We were at Cross Creek Mall, and we’re looking around and there are wall-to-wall people, cash registers are ringing,” Marty recalls. “And I looked at my wife and said, ‘We're doing something wrong in Pinehurst.’ It's Christmas, people aren't broke and they're buying stuff. So that was the inspiration for the business guild.”

Indeed, with that image of shoppers at the mall never forgotten, Marty, along with Tom Connelly, Helen Edwards, Harris Blake and other likeminded people who were invested in the growth and health of the village, formed the Pinehurst Business Guild less than a year later. Its purpose was to promote and market the uniqueness of the Village of Pinehurst.

Issues discussed that first meeting included two traditions that continue today (The Holly Arts & Crafts Festival and the Christmas tree lighting) and set the foundation for the present-day Guild, now called Pinehurst Business Partners (PBP), 38 years later.

P a ss i n g t h e To r c h

Over the years, the success and growth of the Pinehurst Business Partners has ebbed and flowed like most similar organizations. Membership engagement, the economy and simply time are all factors, so it didn’t come as a surprise to the membership at the end of last year when there was a feeling maybe PBP had run its course. Marty, who had stepped up again to be president, needed to step down, and it wasn’t clear who would take over the reins.

“All I knew is that I was a member and felt like I didn't get too much out of it,” explains Katrin Franklin, owner of Bump & Baby on Market Square and current president of PBP. “And there were about 40 other people that felt the same way—that they were paying a $150 for something and they weren't getting anything out of it. Marty was trying, but he’s only one person and he has his own businesses to run, and it wasn’t getting any traction. So at the end of last year, everyone sort of just said, ‘OK, we're done.’ Everyone just sort of threw in the towel.”

But there were still some members, like Katrin, who saw the need for an organization that represents the interests of village merchants; saw the potential and value of the various events PBP organizes; and still wanted to carry on the tradition

32 PINEHURSTLIVINGMAGAZINE.COM

started nearly four decades ago with Marty and a small group of dedicated business owners.

“It was a situation where everyone wants to be a follower, not a leader, and everyone wanted to say I'm just not paying the dues next year,” Katrin remembers. “So I went to this meeting for the first time ever, because I'd never been at one of their annual end-of-term meetings and Marty is stepping down, and it's sad, bittersweet, you can tell he was ready for it, you can tell he's been trying.

And we're all listening and then someone points at me and I just said, ‘OK I'll be involved,’ and then three or four other people that I really respect raised their hands and they said ‘OK, we'll be involved.’ It was exciting in that minute that the younger generation was taking over. I think that was something the five of us saw and that the whole room saw.”

Along with Katrin, Pine Scone Café’s Rae Anne Kinney, Cooper & Bailey’s Meghan Davis, Holly Kirk of Kirk Tours and Limousines, Crystal Marie Eads-Brown of Jacqueline’s, and Marie & Marcele and The Potpourri’s Bill Wood (the one holdover from the previous board) became the new leadership of the PBP. And in many respects, it signaled the next chapter for the organization.

Ar m s Wi d e O p e n

Today, PBP defines itself as “a member-based business association located in beautiful Pinehurst, North Carolina. We are committed to serving our members through the marketing and promotion of member businesses. Our goal is for residents of the area and visitors to visit and employ our members for their needs and to always shop, eat and support local . . . We are a team of business professionals who care deeply about our village, and together we strive for each member to succeed.”

The future vibrancy of the village, of course, rests not only on promoting and marketing but also in its collaboration and relationship to the resort and village council, as well as businesses not connected with PBP. “Truly being partners—within our membership and without,” says Holly Kirk, explaining the philosophy the board has taken. “Pinehurst businesses run a wide spectrum, since 1895 to now in 2017, and we each have something to share and learn.”

Pinehurst Business Partners was founded in 1979 to market and promote businesses in the village through outreach and events. The 39th Annual Holly Arts & Crafts Festival is on Oct. 21.

With the resort, Marty feels it’s essential businesses don’t forget why the village was created in the first place. “There’s only two things in this town that mean anything: The Pinehurst Resort and the village. Take those two things away, you've got what Mr. Tufts found in 1895. That's it. None of us would be here if it wasn't for the resort and the village. Those are our assets.”

To that end, he feels any relationship with the resort must be based on not just what the resort can do for the village, but also what the village can do for the resort. As an example, soon after Marty became president of PBP again in 2015, the resort reached out asking if he could do anything for a group of women that were going to be staying for several days.

Marty went to the shops in the Theatre Building (which he owns), and asked if they would be willing to put on a fashion show. “And they put on a fantastic show. It was a huge

success,” he says. “So that, I think, can set a foundation for working together in the future.”

Katrin also feels it’s important that PBP have a more consistent presence at local council meetings; to be a voice for Pinehurst businesses that the council will listen to, whether it be advocating for additional signage to help draw people to the shops to the ongoing parking concerns that continues to divide merchants, residents and government.

Katrin recently alerted PBP members via email about an issue the village council was going to address at an upcoming meeting regarding the enforcement of an ordinance that limits the number of nonretailer tenants in the village. Katrin and Marty were both there to voice PBP’s position.

“Sometimes they [the village council] think they're helping us, but I don't think they see the benign neglect,” Katrin explains. “I realize they have a lot of other things to think

about too, but I liked what Marty said and it was really cool he was there. He said, ‘I don't know who you are talking to, but you’re not talking to us [PBP] and if you're just talking to each other about what we need, then you're missing the other half of the story. You need to talk to the village merchants about what the village merchants need. That's the only way you're ever going to find out what works for them.’”

Mayor Nancy Fiorillo seems to be getting the message. “The most valuable assets here in Pinehurst are Pinehurst No. 2 and our quaint village,” the mayor says. “Our major support role is to provide the infrastructure (street lighting, plantings, parking and maintenance) to help our businesses succeed, and of course shop and dine locally.”

A Br i g h t Fu t u r e

This effort and energy has also translated into the events held in the village and the buzz is palpable. The Santa’s Summer in the Pines was a big draw in July, the PBP has ramped up their social media presence and they’re now gearing up for the 39th annual Holly Arts & Crafts Festival on Oct. 21. So, while Katrin emphasizes the organization is taking baby steps toward further growth, with the main goal of increasing PBP membership and engagement, there is a sense the future looks bright for the organization.

“There's absolutely a new, positive energy that we all hope to grow and continue to cultivate,” says Meghan Davis, who is co-chair of the social media and marketing committee, and who was born and raised in Pinehurst. “There's multiple new retail shops, like The Corner Store, which is an awesome everyday convenience business that brings people in. The Roast Office is a fantastic ‘regulars’ draw. It's a mutual desire of all of the PBP board members and beyond to reinstate the wonderful atmosphere the village has brought to the area for numerous years.”

And perhaps recognizing that some change isn’t bad—even inevitable—is also part of the growing process. “We are changing.

There are some really great stores with really great businesses with really great ideas, just great resources that not enough people know about,” says Katrin. “We want to tell people about them.

So our long term plan is to stay positive and know that changes are coming because you can feel it. Things are changing and people are starting to realize what they have right now is not good enough. It's a big ship to turn around, so it will take some time.

But we’re all excited about it.”

Life Under Pines

We All Float Down Here ...

By Sundi McLaughlin

A

s we head into the wonderfully spooky month of Halloween I thought I would share my recent encounter with one of the most terrifying literary characters of all time. Hopefully, many of you are familiar with Pennywise the Clown, from the groundbreaking 1986 novel It by Stephen King, which tells the story of a group of kids from a small town who encounter a clown named Pennywise, who preys on his victims by using their individual fears against them. Newline Cinema decided it was high time to make a movie based on the book and it is due out in September.

A few weeks ago, my colleagues and I were at the shop discussing just how scary the trailer looks, how petrifying Pennywise appears with his mantra of “We all float down here,” referring to the sewer tunnels under the town, and how that creepy balloon accompanies the clown like a talisman. We then discussed how much of a giant baby I have become in my dotage and confessed I will most likely be skipping the film despite my fond memories of the book.

So imagine my absolute horror when the next morning I awoke (imagine Snow White as she politely yawns while birds put a bow in her hair and drape a lovely robe on her shoulders and you’ll have a vague idea of what I looked like when I glided from my bedroom) and walked into the darkened living room to see a balloon float down the front hallway.

To say the little hairs on the back of my neck rose would not be an exaggeration.

You see, I was alone in the house, I have no children and I have had no recent parties involving balloons. I consider myself a fairly rational human being, but for the life of me I could not figure out where that creepy balloon came from. To make matters worse, we had just discussed the dang movie and that damn balloon the day before! So I did what most logical people do in this day and age, I took a photo of the unholy thing, posted it on Instagram with a pithy quote and got the hell out of the house (not before shouting a quick, “I am leaving the house!”). You know, just in case anybody was listening ….

By the time I got to the shop, my deployed husband called to check in. I explained I might disappear by the time he got home and even though he was abroad fighting terrorism I was possibly fighting for my life with a homicidal clown. He took my encounter in stride by saying it was nice knowing me and how there’s always something crazy happening to me when he leaves town, like the time I had to evict a hobo who took up residence in our crawl space ….

I went to the shop a few hours early which proved fruitful as I happen to have the perfect book in stock for research. It’s called When Clowns Attack. I skimmed through it, gathering the pertinent information, and opened the shop feeling

36 PINEHURSTLIVINGMAGAZINE.COM

more uneasy than ever, relaying my concerns of my impending doom to almost all my customers. Needless to say, I took my time closing up the shop that afternoon, girded my loins and went home to walk my fearsome protector Dodge … and by fearsome I mean my 110-pound dog is currently trying to overcome his fear of his new shiny food bowl.

When I met my friend Lindsay for dinner that evening she enquired about my creepy balloon Instagram post. I relayed the timeline of events and after patiently listening to my epic saga, she suggested I immediately move in with her as there is no reason a balloon should just appear in a house. I thanked her for the offer but assured her there must be a rational explanation for the balloon’s appearance.

Upon returning home, however, it did seem more quiet than usual. I shrugged it off, and almost convinced myself into thinking I made the whole thing up. I looked in the trash just to double-check.

Sure enough, the offending balloon lay innocently in the bottom of the can. I spent days working the problem over and over in my head to no avail. Finally, two days later, I got a photo text from my buddy Mike Murphy with an image of the exact same balloon in his house!

My first thought: Pennywise is on the move! Mike then followed up with an apologetic phone call explaining that while he was over at my house the week before

a Sunrise Board meeting, he found a balloon in his pocket from his kid’s party earlier in the day and blew it up (out of some sort of Dad instinct, I guess). He then went on to say, after blowing up the balloon he didn’t know what to do with it, so he placed it on one of the steps of my spiral staircase and forgot all about it until he saw my frightened Pennywise Instagram post.

The relief that swept through me upon realizing I wouldn’t be Pennywise’s next victim was, to say the least, glorious.

I always knew there would be a logical explanation … well, OK, like 80 percent of me knew, the other 20 percent however, wreaked havoc … my irrational brain visualized a million ways in which I would meet my maker at the hands of a fictional character.

Such is the genius of Stephen King.

He writes characters who are so real they’re palpable. Paul Edgecombe and John Coffey in The Green Mile or Dolores Claiborne, respectively, are just a few of my faves. Pennywise, however, is the catalyst who pushes every button and brings every fear into the light. So as he comes to life on the big screen this month, and if you are brave enough to sit through the nailbiting horror of It, remember me and my near-death experience with a balloon. We all float down here, right here Under the Pines. PL

Knee Pain: A New Treatment May Help

by James Winkley, M.D., FirstHealth Back & Neck Pain

I

f you’re living with Osteoarthritis (OA), you’re not alone. OA affects more than 30 million adults in the U.S., and according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the knee is one of the most commonly affected areas.

OA is a progressive disease causing inflammation and degeneration of the knee joint that worsens over time. It affects the entire joint, including bone, cartilage, ligament and muscle.

Its progression is influenced by age, body mass index (BMI), bone structure, genetics, strength and activity level.

Individuals who develop OA of the knee can experience a wide range of symptoms. Pain occurs when the cartilage covering the bones of the knee joint wears down. This narrows the space between the bones and causes friction. Because the knee is a weight-bearing joint, your activity level, and the type and duration of your activities usually have a direct impact on your symptoms.

You may be experiencing OA of the knee, and aren’t quite ready for a knee replacement, or may not qualify for surgery. If so, there is a new thermal radiofrequency treatment option that may be best suited for you, especially if you suffer from chronic moderate-to-severe knee pain from OA. The COOLIEF Cooled Radiofrequency (RF) thermal treatment is the first and only radiofrequency treatment to be cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to specifically relieve osteoarthritis knee pain. The minimally invasive thermal radiofrequency pain management system uses water-cooled technology to deactivate pain-causing sensory nerves.

44 PINEHURSTLIVINGMAGAZINE.COM

How does it work? With COOLIEF Cooled RF treatment, a radiofrequency generator transmits a small current of radiofrequency energy through an insulated electrode—or probe—placed within tissue. Ionic heating, produced by the friction of charged molecules, deactivates the nerves responsible for sending pain signals to the brain.

Unlike surgery, COOLIEF Cooled RF treatment involves no incision. Since no general anesthesia is required, our patients are usually able to return home shortly after their treatment. The procedure time can vary depending on the physician and the treatment that is needed.

This treatment may provide significant relief for patients who previously have had few options for their osteoarthritis pain, as we are currently seeing an 80 percent success rate, with success being deemed 50 percent or greater pain relief and increased activity.

For more information on the COOLIEF Cooled RF treatment being offered by the pain specialists of FirstHealth Back & Neck Pain, call 910.715.1794 or visit firsthealth.org. PL

Bend those knees

(910) 255-2095 l (800) 733-5357 l www.carolinaeye.com

To keep your knees healthy for years to come, try the following: Move: Joint stiffness can make you want to lay in bed all day with an ice pack, but resist that urge and take a walk instead. Joints were made to move, so inactivity can actually cause you more problems.

Watch your ankles: Just like a house needs a strong foundation, so do your knees.

Strengthening your ankles will help protect your knees and can also help improve balance, which can lead to fewer falls and injuries.

Consider supplements: Glucosamine and chondroitin are popular joint pain preventing supplements, but don’t forget the antiinflammatory benefits from fish oil.

Watch your weight: Aging sometimes brings the unfortunate side effect of weight gain.

The physics are simple: the more weight you carry, the more stress the knee joints have to deal with. Consider a diet and exercise routine to drop those extra pounds.

The Garden

Apple Tree The

An apple a day keeps the doctor away ... BY DOLORES MULLER

Growing apple trees in the home garden can be fun and rewarding. Several factors are important to consider, however, before planting for successful apple production. Apple variety and rootstock; site selection; proper planting, training and pruning; adequate fertility; and pest control all contribute to healthy and productive trees.

In North Carolina, trees can be planted from late fall to early spring. Purchase a healthy 1-year-old nursery tree, 4 to 6 feet tall, with a good root system. A small tree with a good root system will transplant better than a large tree.

Apple varieties that do well in our area are Gala, Empire, Jonagold, Golden Delicious, Stayman, Rome, Braeburn and Fuji. A complete guide to growing apples in a home garden can be found online at content.ces.ncsu.edu/growing-apple-trees-in-the-home-garden or by calling Moore County Extension at 910.944.3188. They will send you a pamphlet detailing all you need to know about apple growing.

The Roman festival for Pomona, the goddess of fruit and orchards, was celebrated around Nov. 1. Bobbing for apples was part of the celebration tradition. Romans believed that the first person to catch a bobbing apple with his or her teeth would be the first to marry in the new year. If apple bobbing is not for you, consider making apple sauce. apple sauce 4 quarts apples 2 cups water 2 cups sugar 1/2 lemon Cinnamon, to taste Nutmeg, to taste Wash and quarter 4 quarts of apples and 3 or 4 pitted purple plums (no need to peel or core the apples). Place in large pot with 2 cups water. Cover and boil until apples are soft and peels are falling off. Add 2 cups of sugar. Simmer a few minutes until sugar dissolves.

Pour by small amounts into a food mill or other sieve, and press out applesauce, discarding peels, seeds and cores. Stir in juice from half lemon with cinnamon and nutmeg to taste. PL

A Look Back

Annie Oakley in Pinehurst

By Jean Barron Walker / Photography Courtesy of the Tufts Archives

N

ative American Chief Sitting Bull named her “My Daughter, Little Sure Shot.” But friends called her Annie during the seven seasons Annie Oakley and her husband, Frank Butler, wintered at Pinehurst’s Carolina Hotel. Frank oversaw the skeet shooting and trapshooting ranges, while Annie instructed women in shooting, using the skills she had perfected while touring with Buffalo Bill Cody’s Wild West Show.

Annie’s ability to handle a gun came early in her life.

Born on a small farm near Woodlawn, Ohio, she was named Phoebe Ann Mosey, but her sisters called her Annie. She had little formal schooling, since she needed to help support her siblings and her widowed mother by providing meat for the family table. She hunted small animals for food and sold

48 PINEHURSTLIVINGMAGAZINE.COM

wild game to local stores. Annie was noted for her ability to place the shot in the head of an animal thus leaving the meat unspoiled.

In 1875, Annie, at age 15, accepted a shooting challenge in Cincinnati against Frank Butler, an acclaimed trickshooter, for a $50 prize. Legend says that Frank missed his last pigeon as it flew from the trap. Annie had to make her last shot to win the match and said later, “I knew I would win.” Frank admired his opponent’s skill and gave Annie free passes to the show he was performing in. They became friends and were married a year later, on Aug. 23, 1876.

After that, Annie and Frank traveled the country giving sharpshooting exhibitions. In 1885, they were captivated

by Buffalo Bill Cody’s Wild West Show. Cody had

assembled a traveling extravaganza, which included Lakota Sioux leader Sitting Bull, to portray an embellished version of the vanishing Old West. Cody’s show presented scenes of stage coach robberies, Indian raids, gunfights, sharpshooting demonstrations and the pony express.

Annie and Frank traveled with the show on and off for the next 17 years. Petite at five feet, with long dark hair, she dressed in feminine fashion with long skirts, petticoats and high button shoes. She became the star of their act, with “Champion Markswoman” printed on Wild West advertising posters. Frank became her assistant and manager. Cody always called her Missy, but, when performing, Annie used the stage name Annie Oakley, perhaps taking her name from the neighborhood near Cincinnati where she and Frank had lived.

After Buffalo Bill’s Wild West show toured the United States for several years, Cody took the entire troupe to Europe for three and a half years. The show returned to travel the States in the 1890s, but a collision of one of the Wild West show’s trains in North Carolina changed Annie and Frank’s livelihood.

In the early morning of Oct. 29, 1901, the entire show was traveling from North Carolina to Virginia in a caravan of three separate trains. The engineer of an oncoming freight train pulled to a side track to let the first train pass, but did not

realize there were two more to come. He hit the second train head-on, killing more than 100 horses stabled in the first five cars. Annie was thrown from her bed and shaken up enough that the Butlers decided it was time to leave the show. They built a cottage on the water near Cambridge, Maryland, and gave shooting lessons and exhibitions at local gun clubs.

Seeking a warmer climate, Annie, Frank and their English Setter, Dave, wintered in Pinehurst from 1915 to 1922. Dave would be the only animal ever registered as a guest at the Carolina Hotel. The Butlers loved Pinehurst’s amenities: the gun club, thousands of acres preserved for game hunting, horse races at the track and the hotel social scene. On Valentine’s night, 1919, Annie went to a costume ball dressed as Sitting Bull Jr. She wore a headdress of pheasant feathers, with beads around her neck, and won the costume prize. Two years later, she performed an Indian dance in a vaudeville show at the Carolina Hotel.

At the gun club each weekday, Annie generously gave women free lessons in the proper handling and use of a revolver and a rifle. She shared her skill and encouraged women to learn to shoot as a means of self-defense. Annie felt that gender made no difference in the ability to shoot; skill was based only on practice and determination. In 1916, Joseph H. Wesson, of the firearms manufacturer Smith & Wesson,

PINEHURSTLIVINGMAGAZINE.COM 49

offered three sterling silver prizes for the women’s best season scores at the pistol range.

On Feb. 24, 1917, nearly 800 people watched Annie, Frank and Dave. A reporter for The Pinehurst Outlook wrote, “We counted 43 automobiles parked to view the performance.” The program included stunts that Annie had perfected during her Wild West days. She began by using a revolver to shoot cigarettes from Frank’s hand and an apple off Dave’s head. Dave threw what was left of the apple into the air, caught it in his mouth and danced around with it. Annie could split a playing card in two by shooting at its edge and then puncturing it again as the card settled to the ground. Her audience thought that the shot-out card resembled a ticket punched to prevent resale. As a result, complimentary tickets are still known as “Annie Oakleys.”

Annie also scrambled eggs mid-air, broke marbles on the fly, rolled a tin can over the ground by spraying it with bullets, broke glass balls whirling around Frank’s head and hit cartridges thrown into the air causing them to explode overhead. The audience was awed when Annie shot backwards by looking in a mirror or looking at the blade of a Bowie knife. She used shotguns for her ultimate trick: Frank threw six balls into the air, and using three double-barreled guns, Annie broke all six before they reached the ground.

When the United States entered World War I in 1917, Annie telegraphed the U.S. Secretary of War from Pinehurst and offered to train a women’s division to defend the homefront. “I can guarantee a regiment of women for home protection,” she wrote, “every one of whom can and will shoot if necessary.” She received no response to her offer, so she and Frank found other ways to help the war effort.

Traveling from Pinehurst at their own expense and carrying their own equipment and supplies, they performed at encampments across the country for the National War Council of the Young Men’s Christian Association. She said later that her shooting exhibitions in the camps were more inspiring to her than even her best successes with the Wild West show.

During the war years, the Butlers also raised money for the Red Cross. Dave became “The Red Cross Dog” by finding money that people had wrapped in handkerchiefs and hidden within 100 yards of the stage. Blindfolded, Dave

50 PINEHURSTLIVINGMAGAZINE.COM

sniffed out the concealed money, which all went to the Red Cross. The Butlers received many letters of thanks for their service during the war.

Annie, Frank and Dave were crowd pleasers for Pinehurst’s winter guests in 1920 when they put on a shooting exhibition.

At the event, Annie raised more than $100 for the nearby Farm Life School by selling her autograph and a pamphlet she wrote telling about her years with the Wild West show. That same year, Annie and Frank motored 52 miles to Montrose, North Carolina, to give an exhibition at the tuberculosis sanitarium. Helping the sanitarium was dear to Annie’s heart, because two of her sisters had died from TB. In Annie’s final Pinehurst season in 1922, The Pinehurst Outlook of Feb. 23 reported, “A real-old-fashioned downpour of the wettest kind of rain made all sorts of inside games possible and the life in the hotels varied and merry. At the Carolina, Annie Oakley had the nicest place for rifle practice in the ball-room, and was kept busy with folk who otherwise might have been a wee bit bored.”

Two months later, on April 16, when she was 62, Annie set a world record for a woman shooter by hitting 100 out of 100

clay targets in a row from the 16-yard line at the Pinehurst Gun Club, now the site of the Pinehurst No. 8 golf course.

The Butlers did not return to Pinehurst in 1923. The previous fall they were in a car accident in Florida that resulted in a hip and ankle injury to Annie. She would wear a leg brace the rest of her life. This setback was followed by another one, the death of their beloved dog, Dave, in February 1923.

Failing health finally caused Frank and Annie to return to Ohio to be near her family. Frank wrote to Leonard Tufts, son of James Walker Tufts, founder of Pinehurst, “Annie is out in Ohio with her niece on a farm. She is in very bad health. … Don’t know yet if I will get to Pinehurst or not this year. Haven’t seen any place we like better, but doubt if we can afford it. Three years of doctors’ bills put a crimp in our bank account. Anyhow, Pinehurst and the Tufts family have our best wishes.”

Annie died on Nov. 3, 1926, with Frank passing 18 days later. They are buried in Brock Cemetery in western Ohio, near land where young Annie use to shoot small game. PL

Book Review

Astral Progressivism

By Robert Gable

S

ometimes the more you learn, the more you find gaps in what you know. It’s a hard thing to admit what you don’t know. Just try doing it in politics—your opponents will have a field day. Science, when it’s working correctly, works at filling in these gaps. The workers at Harvard’s Observatory have filled in countless unknowns when it comes to knowledge of the universe. Their stories, and how they did it, are in Dava Sobel’s latest book, The Glass Universe.

Harvard College Observatory, in the 1880s, was at the forefront of pursuing astronomical discoveries. New advances in photography, chemistry, spectroscopy and electricity were combining to advance knowledge of the stars. What are the stars made of ? Were they moving away from the Earth?

These were mysteries that kept astronomers up at night, so to speak.

The glue that held the Observatory together was director Edward Pickering. For 40 years he used supreme tact and ingenuity to run the Observatory. A dedicated scientist, he often used his own salary to keep the operation solvent.

(Hard to believe a Harvard guy would ever cry poor, but at the time, he had to.) Pickering also made some discoveries himself. He worked out the electric basis for a radio three years before Edison patented it. Pickering never patented it himself because he thought scientific ideas should be shared not exploited (thus missing out on a fortune). He would sincerely say he got his own enrichment from moving science forward.

Two key women benefactors stood up to help the Observatory. Pickering was astute enough to know that without their help, he would f lounder. Anna Palmer Draper funded the endeavor in honor of her late husband and their shared wonder of astronomy. Catherine Wolfe Bruce was also fascinated by the night sky, and she helped with supplying telescopes and scholarships to the Observatory.

Pickering was ahead of his time when believing that women were every bit as capable as men when it came to the sciences. When he saw ability, he rewarded it, whether the person was male or female. Some of the women at the Observatory were charged with cataloging the stars by brightness. Williamina Fleming came up with a clever way of categorizing them; the classification wound up using the

52 PINEHURSTLIVINGMAGAZINE.COM

The Glass Universe: How the Ladies of the Harvard Observatory Took the Measure of the Stats Dava Sobel 324 pages, Viking / $30.00

letters O, B A, E, G, K and M. (Sobel notes, “A wag at Princeton later made the string of letters memorable by the phrase ‘Oh, Be A Fine Girl, Kiss Me!’”) In 1899, Fleming became the first woman to hold a title at Harvard University, breaking the glass ceiling just in time for the 20th century.

What makes this book engrossing is Sobel’s adept way at showing how science works. Her earlier books (Longitude and Galileo’s Daughter, among others) also explain how scientific hunches are pursued. This book will not be confused with a nail-biting, suspenseful thriller. (You don’t have to be fan of astronomy, but it helps.) She is a storyteller, taking you along for a ride on this chronological journey of the Observatory.

Pickering was the astute supervisor who minimized these blind alley turns. Being able to discern the better approach beforehand does wonders for morale—and the budget of your observatory. He was also instrumental in getting amateur astronomers involved in research—more hands make for lighter work. To this day amateurs continue to aid in the advancement of astronomy.

The women of the Harvard Observatory, however, kept the investigations going. They were called “computers,” just like the women in the movie Hidden Figures. The computers were not the people in the spotlight, getting all the applause and praise. But without them, John Glenn isn’t stepping into the Mercury capsule, and there is no lift-off. Sobel gives the computers at Harvard the same quiet vindication after all these years. They took pride in knowing they did their best contributing to the advancement of astronomy, leading to new discoveries no one could predict. PL

Mid Pines Mid Pines Inn & Golf Club Par 4, 392 yards Designer: Donald Ross

Mid Pines remains exactly as Donald Ross crafted the course in 1921. A rarity among his masterpieces, Mid Pines has been impeccably manicured to modern standards. A 2013 restoration received national attention, garnering the course “Best U.S. Restoration” by Golf Magazine. It is a classic gem that has hosted many national competitions, including the 2002 USGA Senior Women’s Amateur Championship.

Aberdeen Rockfish Depot, circa 1898. The town of Aberdeen was originally called Blue’s Crossing, but its name was changed to Aberdeen in 1887. It became Moore County’s leading railroad and industrial center, and was also home to three short-line railroads by 1894.

“Pale amber sunlight falls across The reddening October trees ....

Are we not better and at home In dreamful Autumn, we who deem No harvest joy is worth a dream?

A little while and night shall come, A little while, then, let us dream ....”
