BEST OF THE BEST

I KNOW YOU’RE EAGER TO READ which neighborhoods, ice cream parlors, pizza places and boutiques will take home bragging rights this year, compliments of thousands of votes from readers. One story I’d urge you to come back to is Cynthia Edwards-Paschall’s First Person column on page

52. The fifth-generation Chapel Hillian (and good friend of our magazine when we launched more than a decade ago) recently had an interaction with an acquaintance who was flabbergasted about her roots. Cynthia was tempted to cuss but could hear her grandmother’s words in her head: “Shug, if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all. Just smile and nod.” Instead she submitted her story for publication, hoping it would resonate with others who’ve had identical conversations and provide a history lesson for those not familiar with the African-American tradition in Chapel Hill: “We celebrated major- and pro-league ability athletes and the best marching bands and majorettes at Lincoln High. We elected a black mayor – Mayor Howard Lee – before it was cool. We used to be the only people swimming and playing ball at Hargraves Center because it was the only place we could go.” In March’s First Person column, photographer Tamara Lackey’s story took readers thousands of miles away to Ethiopia, where the Lackeys are adopting their fourth child: “One of the things that I want people to know is, it doesn’t matter if a child is born to you or they are adopted, you love them the same. I hear, ‘It’s so wonderful that you adopt.’ I’m like, ‘Are you kidding me? You know how much I’ve gotten out of it? It’s one of the most amazing mutual deals there is. I get to expand my family and my heart, and they do, too.’” These are just two reasons why our First Person column has always been one of my very favorite corners of our magazine, not to mention a way to share more voices with our community. I encourage you to share your stories with me (jessica@chapelhillmagazine.com). Maybe you’ve recently retired but you’ve found your second calling in volunteering. Maybe you’ve embarked on a fitness journey hoping to make a big life change or you play in a band after your 9-to-5 is done for the day. I look forward to hearing from you. CHM

N O T E D

Lauren Boening

(right), a third-grade teacher at Morris Grove Elementary, was named the CHCCS Teacher of the Year. She has seven years of teaching experience and graduated from UNC. Terra Hodge, who teaches theater at Culbreth Middle School, and Anna Kohler, who also graduated from UNC and teaches pre-K at UNC Hospital School, were also recognized as Honor Teachers in May at the annual recognition reception. 

The Carrboro High School girls soccer team won its third-straight 2A State Championship, shutting out West Stokes High School 3-0 in the final. Team members Laura Sparling, Evie Joseph and Miah Araba scored goals in the final round, with goalkeeper Grace Nanney securing the shutout.

The East Chapel Hill High School Wildcats are WRAL’s 2017 Brain Game champions, after competing against 35 other Triangle teams.

Chapel Hill High School dominated the poetry category: Delaney Tallett won first place in the poetry category, Judah Kalb won second place and Madelyn Good third.

POSTAL PIZZAZZ Not everyone is lucky enough to have Jaime Rodriguez and his infectious energy delivering the mail every work day (we are!). But now, everyone across the country can watch him star in a U.S. Postal Service commercial in Spanish that’s airing soon in major markets nationwide (and on YouTube). As a rep for the Postal Service said, “Jaime’s engaging personality and enthusiasm for his job made him stand out during the selection process.”

The Chapel Hill Fire Department (CHFD) partnered with the Orange County Department on Aging to assist and educate elderly residents in Chapel Hill with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in May. CHFD members installed new smoke detectors, showed residents how to check the alarm batteries and provided fire safety tips. 

East Chapel Hill High School ninth-grader Taner Richards collected over 100 video games, 10 controllers and 5 consoles from his school and local neighborhoods such as Laurel Hill, and donated them to UNC Hospitals through his nonprofit Good Health Gaming, which aims to ease children’s long hospital stays with video game entertainment. Taner is the son of Seth Richards and Nurum Erdem; his sister Ayla attends Glenwood Elementary. CHM

A permanent historical marker at the corner of West Franklin and South Roberson streets was dedicated recently to honor the 75th anniversary of the enlistment of 44 African-American men into the U.S. Navy Band B-1. Because of segregation laws, the Navy band members – who were attached to the Navy’s PreFlight School on the UNC campus – were stationed at what is now the Hargraves Community Center. Each morning they would troop to the campus for the raising of the flag, playing music as they marched. CHM

OUR BEST BITES PHOTOGRAPHY BY SARAH ARNESON AND BRIANA BROUGH

Back for its fourth year, the Grand TASTE Experience at the Durham Armory delighted attendees with sips and savors from the area’s best restaurants, bars and artisans. Chefs from Crook’s Corner, Kitchen, Provence and many other restaurants offered samples. Beverage purveyors such as Constellation Brands, Harris Beverages and Fair Game Beverage Co., among others, served beer, wine and spirits while Sidecar Social Club provided the soundtrack. Two days later, during round No. 2 of our Grand TASTE Experience, guests enjoyed more great bites at the Durham Armory from more than 30 regional chefs, artisans, distilleries and beverage purveyors, plus music from Counterclockwise String Band.

Take it from this local mom – there’s so much to do this close to home: “1870 Farm has been around since, you guessed it, 1870! I attended a farm tour with my little guy, and we did a ton. We met a mother-andbaby pair of donkeys, Coconut and Mango. We saw sheep, goats and pygmy goats, took a walk with Jeff the alpaca, fed fish at the pond, hung out with chickens, did a bit of gardening and went on a hayride. We were able to feed every animal we saw. It is such a great way to help kids conquer any fears they may have of larger animals. If you enjoy the peace and quiet that fishing offers, the farm also provides private fishing reservations at the pond (which is just the loveliest spot). Guys, if you’re looking for a unique date setting for your fishing-loving gal, this is the place. If you want something more zen, they’ve got a restorative yoga series for adults that will continue through the summer. They are also in the works of joining forces with local artists. Stay tuned for what will come of those collaborations.” –Sarah King PHOTO BY SARAH ARNESON

Ana Mahoney grew up eating shave ice

in Kihei, a picturesque town on Maui. Then her mother ran a stand on the mainland and Ana worked there in high school with her three sisters and their friends. Now she’s opened Shaka Shave Ice, a new spot that’s walkable from Carrboro and West Franklin Street. Pick from more than two dozen flavors – including her favorite, a coconut-vanilla combination called Blue Hawaii – and consider ordering yours with the vanilla ice cream. “By the time you get to the bottom, you’ve got coconut ice cream,” Ana says. Her three kids are hooked and so are customers, with some returning for a second helping in the same day! North Carolina native Blythe Boyd opened a popular New York City scoop shop in 2008 and thankfully the Tar Heel State can now enjoy her talents. Based in Hillsborough out of a roving cart and named after her pup, Sweet Hazel’s Frozen Desserts makes nondairy, vegan ice cream. Blythe starts with homemade cashew milk and adds ingredients like bananas and organic strawberries for her delectable Southern-inspired flavors like Banana Pudding, Peanut Butter Pie and Darkest Chocolate. Track down the treats at select Triangle Vegfest monthly markets at Southern Village, Last Fridays in Hillsborough or at stores like Coco Bean Coffee Shop, The Root Cellar and Market Street Coffeehouse.

LOCAL LIT A new crop of books from area authors

“Extraordinary Adventures: A Novel” By Daniel Wallace

aniel Wallace (“Big Fish,” “The Watermelon King”) is known for crafting unconventional heroes, and Edsel Bronfman is no different. The 34-year-old junior executive shipping clerk, who thrills at mail addressed to his apartment’s Current Resident and still lists his mother as his emergency contact, is at the beginning of the most eventful 79 days of his life. Bronfman (who goes by his last name, though even he isn’t entirely sure why) is minding his own business when he receives a call from a representative of the novel’s namesake. Extraordinary Adventures, a timeshare in Destin, Florida, promises to change his life in a single weekend, no strings attached.

chapelhillmagazine.com July/August 2017

There is one catch, of course: he must agree to sit through a brief sales presentation when he gets there. The notso-obvious catch? The trip is for two, and if Bronfman doesn’t find a companion to join him, the prize weekend goes to the next name on the list. So, the race is on to find a woman – and not just any woman – to bring along before the clock runs out. Over the next 10 weeks, Bronfman meets three likely candidates, each helping him realize that life is more than just a series of things that happen to you; your choices, however small, can make a difference. Fans of Fredrik Backman’s “A Man Called Ove” and Rachel Joyce’s “The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry” will appreciate Bronfman’s endearing candor as he recalls his past to help him navigate the unknown. But unlike the characters in those novels who are at later stages in life and working to break old habits, Bronfman is still searching for the convictions – and connections – that will come to define him.

“All the Agents and Saints: Dispatches from the U.S. Borderlands” By Stephanie Elizondo Griest

“Cecil and the Big Wave” By Adam W. Jones Illustrated by Alessandro Pastori

n his debut children’s book, Adam W. Jones tackles the tough subject of bullying. Cecil is not just small because he is an ant – he is the smallest ant at the park. Other ants make fun of him, and he retreats to the beach to hide in a cave. However, the cave turns out to be a popular hiding place. Cecil discovers his Uncle Juba, a surfer with a positive attitude, relaxing there. After Cecil relays his problem, Uncle Juba shares the importance of feeling good about yourself and not worrying about what others think – a lesson always easier said than done. When the pair notices the best surfer at the beach riding a huge wave, Cecil decides to channel his bad day into something positive, and with Uncle Juba’s help, he begins surfing lessons. A North Carolina native and Chapel Hill resident, Adam was inspired by his childhood trips to the East Coast to write about a storm, and a young surfer who finds the confidence to take it on. Kids of all ages will enjoy this delightful reminder that, with hard work, even the smallest of us is capable of overcoming large obstacles.

chapelhillmagazine.com July/August 2017

he word “diaspora” is often associated with those who have immigrated – either by choice or by necessity – to a place so far from their ancestral home it is unrecognizable. In this insightful part-memoir, part-history book, Stephanie Elizondo Griest weaves together stories from residents of both the Canadian and Mexican borders to the United States, exploring the dual identities that can result when families are separated by a steel wall. Stephanie, an assistant professor and Margaret R. Shuping Fellow of Creative Nonfiction at UNC, is herself a native Tejana (a term for Mexican-Americans in South Texas). But after years spent writing about inequalities in other countries, her return home brought the area’s issues of immigration, drug wars and poverty front and center. During her childhood, Stephanie recalls friends and family going to and from Mexico often, visiting cousins and grandparents to the south for afternoons or whole summers while parents worked on nearby farms. Today, makeshift homes sprawl near once-vibrant areas; trash piles up in homes, toxic waste makes water unsafe to drink and government help from either side of the border is unreliable or nonexistent. Following six years of research in south Texas, Stephanie spent a year in New York near the Canadian border and noticed many similarities between the lives of Tejanos she encountered and the Mohawks residing in Akwesasne territory, which borders Quebec. Though each group relies on their own families and religion first, they must also look to the United States government for education, clean water and infrastructure. This look at people who occupy a unique space, split between past and present, one home and another, is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of North America, its borderlands and their repercussions. –Morgan Weston CHM

FRESHLY BAKED Radius has a new oven and they aren’t afraid to use it. “We can now

get a pizza out faster. Our new oven takes 180 seconds to cook,” says owner Kate Carroll. Though they serve salads and paninis too, the restaurant couldn’t keep up with the demand for their wood-fired pizzas. The new gas aspect of the oven allows them to precisely control the temperature and, with cooking time down, they plan to roll out delivery by the end of the year. Want to get in on the action? Chef and co-owner Mick Carroll offers free cooking classes for kids at the Eno River Farmers Market every third Saturday.

RUN HILLSBOROUGH RUN Start training now and you may be ready to run in the second annual Historic Hillsborough Half Marathon and 5K on October 1. The scenic route will take runners past sites like the Old Orange County Courthouse, the Burwell School and the half-marathon runners will run one lap of the Occoneechee Speedway track. But if you need some motivation to pick up your pace, join the Hillsborough Running Club. Founded in 2013, the club meets up on Wednesday evenings at Mystery Brewing Public House and Sunday mornings at Weaver Street Market to run as a group.

GRUB AT THE PUB Speaking of Mystery Brewing, have you tried their brewpub menu yet? “You won’t find traditional deep-fried pub food here,” says chef Michael Malek. “My goal is to showcase the natural and fresh flavors of local ingredients.” So instead of tater tots, you’ll pair your pint with a cheese plate or a colorful salad. They’ve even got a beer sandwich cookie that goes well with The Golden Hind, an American pale ale.

VILLAGE REVIVAL For decades, Ethel Stansbury ran The Village Diner with her husband and family members. The mom-and-pop spot was the early-morning meeting place of friends and neighbors over breakfast and banana pudding. But a year after a different owner took over, it shuttered unexpectedly. Hillsborough BBQ Company general manager Joel Bohlin heard that the doors were locked shut and went to see Ethel to see if he could help. The two of them ended up chatting for hours. “She’s a pistol,” Joel says. “She’s the matriarch of Hillsborough.” It was such a good conversation that she made him an offer. “I was shocked. I thought I was going over there to cook on the line that night and it turned into an option to purchase the property,” Joel says. He recalls the 88-yearold saying, “I want you to have it. I want you to fill up the parking lot again.” So Joel jumped at the chance to rehabilitate the two dining rooms and Ethel Stansbury in the 2000s. revamp the menu. He hopes to be open for lunch in the next few months, serving up a small menu that includes meatloaf and fried chicken and then family-style dinners soon after. “We’re going to knock people away with the comfort food style that’s been missing in town,” he says. And on the eve of the eatery’s 50th anniversary this year, Joel’s going to pay tribute to the lady who always made customers feel welcome by hanging a big photo of her on the wall. Ultimately the two have a lot in common. Like Ethel, he says “making people happy with food is what gets us out of bed.”

BLACK HISTORY,

OUR HISTORY

BY CYNTHIA EDWARDS-PASCHALL

I MADE A LATE-NIGHT RUN to Walmart to buy,

you know, the kind of stuff you get late night at Walmart. While in line, I saw a co-worker from years ago. We chatted. She asked a question and also made a statement that I have heard so many times in my adult life. She asked, “Where are you from? You don’t sound like you’re from around here.” I told her, proudly, that I was born and raised in Chapel Hill. I knew what was coming next: “Reeeeeaaaaallllly?! I didn’t know there were any black people from Chapel Hill!” OK. I have had many reactions to this over the years, but I have managed to remember my manners and my grandmother’s voice is as clear as the ocean sound inside a seashell: “Shug, if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all. Just smile and nod. Sometimes people don’t mean any harm.” Thanks, Grandma. So, I smiled and just said, “Yes, there are plenty of black people from 52

chapelhillmagazine.com July/August 2017

Chapel Hill.” But then …. She went on and on and on. Like many have done. I was not in the mood to explain to yet another ‘doesn’tmean-any-harm’ person about Chapel Hill and the long history of black people in the town. I had just hugged this person and said it was good to see her. “God help me, I don’t want to cuss,” I thought. I didn’t. I just nodded like one of those little plastic fuzzy Chihuahua dogs that used to be in the back of people’s station wagons in the ‘60s and ‘70s. It was my turn at the cashier. So I said, smiling, “Tell your hubby hello. Good to see ya again!” and I thought, ‘Cynthia, now you are just lying!’ My smile turned to an eye roll as soon as she was out of sight. So, I got my stuff and I went home, but I decided I needed to set the record straight. There are black people from Chapel Hill. Always have been, always will be. We are every path, road, sidewalk, hospital hall, UNC building,

Franklin Street restaurant and bar. Every Rosemary Street block. Every black church that holds up the western border of town – St.

THE MURPHY-DUNN HOUSE IS A STUDY IN SUSTAINABLE LIVING

The four-bedroom, 2,950-square-foot custom house sits on 4.3 acres west of Carrboro right off Highway 54 and backs up to land owned and protected by the Triangle Land Conservancy. “No one will ever develop behind us, and the land itself is unbelievable,” says Kevin. “We got really lucky.” 56

That luck has been with them throughout the building process. The dream of designing their own sustainable, energy-efficient home began during the couple’s nine years in the Peace Corps, which they spent teaching in Guatemala, Venezuela and Bahrain. “But about 14 years ago, we decided we were ready to settle down, and Chapel Hill was the perfect place,” says Kris.

were a start, but didn’t quite account for the lack of conventional storage options. An added challenge was how best to temper the inevitable messiness of life on a small farm without disrupting the home’s clean, modern aesthetic. The solution? A combination laundry and mudroom, complete with floor-toceiling shelving, a deep farm sink for washing hands (and eggs) and a small coop for the baby chicks. A pocket door serves a dual purpose: “We can cover up the clutter when we have company,” says Kris, “and it keeps the cats from getting too curious with the chicks.” A NOD TO THE PAST Another home, built in 1947, originally occupied the site.

to the ‘out of sight, out of mind’ mentality,” says Kevin. “So, we picked it up and made it something beautiful,” Kris says, pointing to the inviting path that leads to the front door. The found glass was crushed and mixed with concrete, giving a mosaic effect in the sunlight.

This Silver Laced Polish rooster chick is one of 10 different varieties the family has. They all freely roam on the land and rest in the coop Kevin built himself.

BEHIND THE SCENES The home was designed by Chapel Hill-based architect Arielle Condoret Schechter, who specializes in modern, net-zero energy homes like this one. “We must have met with Arielle 10 times,” Kris says, “but the outcome was so worth it. She listened to every detail, and even provided 3D models so we could tour the home before we broke ground.” The home has a -3 Home Energy Rating System (HERS) score. The standard new home has a score of 100, with every number closer to zero being that much more energy efficient (for example, a home with a score of 60 is 40% more energy efficient than the average new home). Having a negative score means the home actually generates more energy than it uses. “We truly appreciate being in a community that is interested in, and can appreciate the value of, a high-quality, energy-efficient lifestyle,” says Kevin, who hopes his home can serve as a model for his future clients. For now, he’s working on an outbuilding that will do triple-duty: “I need office space and a place for my band to practice,” he says. “And we’ll put a futon out there for guests who would like some privacy.” CHM

t wasn’t a stretch to get this bunch together around a table at brothers Angelo and Vincenzo Marrone’s Italian Pizzeria III. In fact, it’s one that Al Bowers and Sally Stollmack (of SallyMack Life Furnishings) know well. They, along with Al’s wife, Melody, watched the National Championship game in April at IP3. Al says he’s known Angelo and Vincenzo for almost 20 years and that the three of them collaborate on commercials and dinners (see box on right). Al’s known Sally for a halfdozen years – though it seems longer, he says – and she’s spent a ton of time with his family. She’s so beloved to the Bowers that they named a hot dog on the Al’s Burger Shack menu after her. (Order the Sally Mack and you’ll get a grilled all-beef hot dog with bacon, fresh jalapeno, ranch and American cheese.) –Jessica Stringer

Superior Sandwich NEAL’S DELI STACKS THEIR SELECTIONS HIGH WITH QUALITY INGREDIENTS BY L AURA ZOLMAN KIRK

Started up nine years ago, Neal’s Deli has accumulated a good number of regulars, who order their usuals

of the deli’s classic menu selection – think pimiento cheese, Italian subs and salads – over the phone (to beat the lunch crowd). One favorite is the marinated tuna sandwich, pumped with bright, delicious veggies – roasted red pepper, lettuce and tomato – along with the zing of red wine vinaigrette, marinated white anchovy and capers all cushioned by a Guglhupf roll. But, “a lot of people get it as a salad,” too, co-owner Matt Neal shares. Back when they opened in April 2008, Matt and wife Sheila thought dinner service was “well enough covered in the Carrboro and Chapel Hill downtown,” but they saw a need for a lunch and breakfast spot. Matt’s family background also played into the decision to open up shop, as he is the son of La Residence co-founders Moreton Neal and the late Bill Neal also of Crook’s Corner. “As a kid, I loved the old storefronts in downtown Carrboro and dreamed of having a business in one,” Matt admits. He couldn’t be happier with where he landed on the corner of East Main and South Greensboro streets, just a skip away from Carrboro Farmers’ Market where he is excited to source tomatoes, watermelons and okra from this summer. “We have great customers and neighbors; it’s a pleasure and privilege to be where we are,” Matt says.

OPPOSITE The marinated tuna sandwich at Neal's is packed full with colorful veggies.

Kid-Friendly Restaurant

Pint-sized opinions THESE PARENTS (AND ONE GREAT-AUNT) VOTED FOR THE EATERIES THAT ACCOMMODATE CHILDREN. SO WE ASKED THE KIDS – “WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT THE WINNING RESTAURANTS?” BY JESSICA STRINGER

Elmo’s “Pancakes are yummy in my tummy.” – McKenzie Tilley, 3 “I like to color my duck on top of a rainbow and hang it up.” – Maddie Tilley, 5

Cellar. I love the chicken Caesar sandwich and, of course, all the fun treats at the counter. They have great desserts, and I always want something from shakes to cakes. My mom loves the coffee, too.” – Ilia Arnold, 11, great-niece of Leslie Morreale

Breadmen’s “I love their pancakes!”

Parents Karrie and Josh Tilley say “Elmo’s is a staple for our family. Maddie and McKenzie are always excited for the ‘usual’ – mouth-watering pancakes and a side of chocolate milk. The converted mill setting is simple, with exposed brick walls and a staff steeped in Southern hospitality. Comfort food, fast and friendly, best describes this gem nestled in the heart of Carrboro.”

The Root Cellar “The Root Cellar is a family favorite. They have so many different healthy options. I love to eat healthy, and they have the perfect menu for that ... vegan, vegetarian, gluten and more. I couldn’t wait to take my 12-year-old cousin, who was visiting from Denmark, to The Root 78

chapelhillmagazine.com July/August 2017

– Milo Peterson, 7

“It is the first place I ever had banana pudding.” – Nolan Peterson, 10 (Mom Kara Ikenberry says Nolan talks about their banana pudding anytime the family visits.)

You can be a kid of any age and still love Breadmen’s. Newly graduated from East Chapel Hill High School, Will Schmidt says, “Breadmen’s has been my go-to breakfast place with my dad [David Schmidt] for at least 12 years. Corned beef hash, eggs-over-easy, biscuit and chocolate milk. And I can diagram football plays with the sugars and jellies.”

Breakaway cafe

“I like the water with oranges.”

Parents Lisset and Alex Garcia say, “We like the family-friendly environment – it’s spacious for our family of four. They have fun games and books and an area for children of all ages. So, when they are eating, they can play and we can enjoy our

AUTO LOGIC TREATS THEIR EMPLOYEES AND CUSTOMERS LIKE FAMILY

ndrew Jones founded his business, now co-

owned by business partner Marianne Jones, in 1986, but to newcomers traveling down Carrboro’s Main Street, it might look a little prehistoric. Auto Logic’s signature dinosaur mascot, the “Tyrannosaurus Wrench” is just one of the business’s signatures that make their service feel friendly and familiar. Marianne tells us more: A typical day for Auto Logic… Starts at 7:45 a.m. Our doors open at 8 a.m. – from then on our phones are ringing and people walk in. We begin the day by checking customers in and listening to their concerns. We have to be sure we accurately represent what is happening with their car. The day quickly flows with hours of ordering parts, repairing cars and talking with customers. I wish more people knew… That you can always get a second opinion. If you’ve been told elsewhere that you need certain services for your car, we can check out your car and make sure those services are actually necessary. As a woman in a less traditional field for women, I feel particularly protective of women and elderly customers and want to make sure they are being treated with honesty and integrity. The best part of my job is… Taking care of people. We have many customers who used to come with

their parents and dance around our lobby when they were little kids, who are now grownups themselves bringing their own family cars to us. The hardest part of my job is… Making sure everything comes out right in the end for both our team and the customer. We expect hard work from our employees when they are here, but we also make sure everyone is taken care of. We have been an Orange County Living Wage Employer from the very beginning and over time we have seen that build a highly educated and loyal workforce, which translates into great service for our customers. I love the Chapel Hill community because… Our business neighbors, residential neighbors and friends make up Carrboro’s small-town feel. Since we have these friendships, Auto Logic feels like a pillar of the community, just like a local hairdresser or bar. –Courtney Dennis July/August 2017 chapelhillmagazine.com

CREATIVE METALSMITHS’ KIM MAITLAND STAYS INSPIRED AFTER 39 YEARS

The pieces we sell are made by… Individuals who are doing very unusual techniques and original designs, which are entirely hand-fabricated, not cast or massproduced. [The artists are] usually known for the type of work that they’re doing. It’s our 39th year this fall, and we’ve always been seeking out those people that are really passionate about pursuing their own narrative pieces and unusual exploration of the material. The hardest part of my job is… Because I am also a maker – I’m a metalsmith, I’m an artist – the business does not come easily. That’s something that you have to develop in addition to the passion that you’ve got for what you’re creating. In 39 years, a lot has changed, so when it comes to my craft... I’m kind of in a weird niche. I’m not really in the jewelry/fashion industry, so I’m in this weird talisman art end of the spectrum. It’s people who are gravitating toward the personal statements ... rather than necessarily ‘trendy.’ We don’t get sucked away in huge vast changes in material delights. My favorite type of jewelry to make is… Right now, my most consistently passionate image is vine imagery. The woven vine work has obsessed me since the early ’80s. 84

chapelhillmagazine.com July/August 2017

The best part of my job is… The making – getting to create and play in the studio. You get very excited as you see ideas start to come to fruition and you might have a lot of false starts and a lot of unsuccessful little testings before you get to capture what you’re trying to capture, but that part really is very exciting for me. What I wish people knew is… It’s more of a passionate pursuit, an individual pursuit in that a lot of times it’s very exciting to get to work with people on getting ideas of theirs to come to fruition, as well. I did these wedding bands recently that are herons in flight – the couple had their first romantic date together and saw this blue heron over the lake. Coming up with a way to bring that memory along with my own love of that very thing – I used the green gold as the marsh grasses – that’s very rewarding in another whole way. You get to share that with people and get to be a part of their really big romantic memory. Chapel Hill is great because… This area has always been really welcoming for [our] type of pursuit. There’s been a huge number of artists and musicians of all different media coming out because of that and settling here because of that. It’s an open mindset. The secrets to 39 years are… Working with other people on an equal basis – not necessarily just as a teacher – because then you’re batting ideas back and forth. Going and taking workshops, busman’s holidays, going and re-establishing that enthusiasm, that’s really important, and taking time to go off and do research and development, get inspiration, that’s really important to keep the excitement going and the level of enthusiasm going. Making yourself learn new techniques, playing with different ideas that way, I think that really aids in it a lot, having that interaction. –Paige Connelly

Designing Women

MARY LYNN COX AND JENNIFER SCOTT COX ON THEIR FAMILY DYNAMIC AND AESTHETICS

Getting Their Start Mary Lynn: “I always did design but I had a lady that hired me, who was my mentor. Her name was Julia and she taught me everything that you don’t learn in school. She passed away and left me the business, which I then changed to M.L. Designs. The biggest thing that I learned is that you cannot just do interior design – you need a mentor. You’ve got to have someone that takes you by the hand and teaches you. You don’t want to learn everything the hard way and if you do that, it’s at the expense of a customer.”

that point, she had been with me a good bit and said, ‘Well, what do you think?’ The entryway that they did in that third house was beautiful yellow and white stripes. She was already building a huge amount of confidence in her ability to make great choices.”

Work Perks Jennifer: “In the beginning, I would say that the best part of working with family was that Mary Lynn Cox and Jennifer Scott Cox. she’s very understanding of my children’s schedule, and I’m allowed to put family first. Now that ... my kids are getting older, I have more time to give and she’s traveling more. I think [flex] time has definitely been one of the biggest Jennifer: “I was always interested in design. Growing up in Chapel benefits [as well as] learning from her. She’s been a wonderful mentor Hill, we would go over to [Mary Lynn’s] house and play in the fabric – she did it before me so she’s shared all the [lessons].” room because her studio used to be out of her house. Growing up, we would even go over there and pretend to do design stuff. It’s Mixing Business with Pleasure always been something I was interested in. Now, I am married to Jennifer: “I would lie and tell you that we would never talk about her oldest son – I went to Chapel Hill High and he went to Durham [work], but that’s not true. Generally [on vacation], when we first get Academy. I went to school for public relations, and I started working together, we go over it all and discuss it. And then we take the rest of with her several years after our kids were born. We’ve been working the vacation and do not talk about [work].” together for going on 16 years.” Reaping the Rewards Mary Lynn: “That’s been one of the most wonderful things – to see First House her develop from a good designer [into] a quality person with her Mary Lynn: “She was a new daughter-in-law to me, so I walked softly clients [with] a great reputation. That’s been very rewarding.” [when working on that first house for Jennifer and my son]. Then –Jessica Stringer they built a house. Then they built and designed a third house. At 86

now in Carrboro. All of our classes were there ... and now our community had a home. We opened up on the loading dock of Carr Mill Mall in 2005 and on Franklin Street in 2014. In total, about 2,500 individual students in the Triangle have trained at DSI. At this point, everyone that you see on stage at DSI right now has been trained by the theater. Our comedy school faculty are people who are passionate about the art of comedy and who are caretakers, people who want to make sure that students who enroll in the comedy school are supported unconditionally and taken care of. What we do is a creative art form, so it’s something that you need to get critical feedback on, but that critical feedback for something that is ultimately very personal has to happen in a really productive way. At one point seven or eight years ago, someone point blank asked me, ‘What do you do?’ I said, ‘Uh, I make people’s lives better.’ I believe that in every way that the theater operates our goal is ‘Did we leave people happier than when they showed up?’ ‘Did our campers at summer camp leave on Monday more excited than when they showed up Monday morning?’ ‘Did our audience leave laughing and more carefree?’ Even our students – even when [a class] is work – we want people to go, ‘Oh, that was hard but I know I [am] better than I was when I showed up.’ Now [they are] able to communicate more effectively, able to be more positive and resilient in the face of X, Y and Z obstacles.” – as told to Jessica Stringer

t was the steak house University Place – and Chapel Hill – deserved. The shopping spot’s revitalization that included adding draws like a movie theater, a gym and a salon is now nearly complete thanks to the shiny new steak house. If you’re in the mood for meat – in a sophisticated setting that’s meant for date night – then you’ve come to the right place. Cozy up to the expansive bar for a bite or enjoy the attentive service in the dining room. Even if you’re not a carnivore, the menu’s got seafood offerings and salads. Count us in for Sunday brunch – croque madame and a Bloody Mary, anyone? – on the patio this summer.

Best plastic surgeon

Finn Facial Plastics builds community confidence

hen it comes to giving back, Dr. Charlie Finn of Finn Facial Plastics has it covered. Dr. Finn and his team have been performing free surgeries for locals in need, while also taking an annual visit to Guatemala to provide pro bono reconstructive surgery to children. In the five years since the team’s first visit, they’ve screened over 500 patients and performed more than 200 surgeries, as well as provided vital education to local doctors. “I have been blessed with the tools and opportunity to get the education needed to build our practice,” Dr. Finn says of why it’s important for his practice to make these trips. “Our facial, plastic and reconstructive surgery practice is booming and the entire practice feels it is our privilege and responsibility to serve those in need, both at home and abroad.” Dr. Finn started his F.I.N.N. Foundation (Filling International and National Needs) four years ago, and since then, they’ve grown and survived off of generous donations to their efforts here and abroad. On their most recent trip in April, Dr. Finn and his team performed 38 life-changing surgeries in Quetzaltenango, Guatemala. “One of my favorite times on our trips is morning rounds,” Dr. Finn says. “We visit all the kids on the hospital ward after surgery, take photos and get the hugs ... from the grateful families. Without our trips,

many of these patients would never get these problems fixed.” And even locally he’s making an impact. Dr. Finn’s practice is part of Triangle Residential Options for Substance Abusers (TROSA), a Durham-based organization which helps recovering addicts re-enter the workforce by providing various surgeries, as well as the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV), which helps victims of domestic violence access free surgery. –Paige Connelly

Retirement,

Southern Style

Acclaimed journalists Walter and Fran Mears share why they retired from the D.C. area to this special slice of North Carolina

e retired

to Governors Club in 2005 and consider ourselves fortunate to have found the Chapel Hill area as our home. After careers in journalism in Washington, D.C. – Walter for more than 40 years, Fran for five after a 20-year news career in other cities – we sought a more relaxed lifestyle and a refuge from the congested traffic of the nation’s capital. Family visits introduced us to North Carolina and the Triangle, and when we narrowed our search, Chapel Hill was it for us. Golf, fine restaurants without the high prices of metro areas and the fact that we would be six miles from the University of North Carolina and about 11 from Duke University all added to the

126

chapelhillmagazine.com July/August 2017

attraction. And it all has worked as we’d hoped. We sold our townhouse a mile from the Potomac River at a lucky moment – real estate prices were soaring, and we came away with more than enough money to build the house we wanted here. (One tip for other people looking at retirement in new homes: We invested in an elevator, a luxury at the time we built and a real asset as we age. It will enable us to stay put if climbing stairs becomes a challenge.) Our place overlooks the golf course to the west and a wooded area to the east, so we are very comfortable just being home. We don’t have to venture far, though, to enjoy performances at UNC’s PlayMakers Repertory Company, movies at the Lumina

and concerts and lectures at the university. We’re only a few minutes away from some of our favorite restaurants – Governors Club’s Lakeview Room and Club Room, of course, plus Pazzo! in Southern Village, Tarantini Italian Restaurant and Oakleaf in Chatham County and Kitchen and Jujube in Chapel Hill – a list that continues to grow. And it’s only a short drive to see a Durham Bulls baseball game, to attend plays or concerts at the performing arts centers in Durham and Raleigh or to take in one of the world-class art, science or history museums. When the grandkids visit, we all enjoy Morehead Planetarium and Science Center, the Carolina Tiger Rescue in Pittsboro, Durham’s Museum of Life and Science and Duke Lemur Center and the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences in Raleigh. Then there are all of the great parks and outdoor spaces throughout the area. Walter has spoken to service and educational organizations about his career covering Washington and politics for The Associated Press. He has taught continuing education classes for seniors at OLLI, the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Duke. Fran has chosen to volunteer her time with charities and service groups. She’s worked for more than a decade with the Chatham County Literacy Council, which helps adults reach their full potential; has been involved with service projects through Christ United Methodist Church in Southern Village and has tutored at-

Walter Mears

worked for The

Associated Press in Washington, D.C., for more than 40 years as a reporter, administrator, bureau chief and columnist, and in New York for five years as executive editor responsible for AP’s worldwide news coverage. He received a Pulitzer Prize for his reporting on the 1976 presidential campaign. He has written and edited several books, including “Deadlines Past,” about the 11 presidential campaigns he covered.

Fran Mears

was an Associated Press

reporter and administrator in Indianapolis, Kansas City and Baltimore before becoming managing editor of Gannett Co. Inc.’s Washington, D.C. news bureau. She and Walter have three daughters and seven grandchildren.

risk children at The Learning Trail Collaborative. No matter your interests and talents, you can find a variety of satisfying volunteer opportunities in the Triangle. Walter is a golfer, and Chapel Hill is the perfect spot for it. He’s a regular at Governors Club and also has played at other courses around the area. With Pinehurst and Southern Pines about an hour away, few places offer more options for golf. Walter, who retired from the AP in 2001, continues to write when there are opportunities. He has done pieces for the AP – and for Chapel Hill Magazine – among other outlets. For two years after his retirement, he worked on his book “Deadlines Past,” about the presidential campaigns he covered. It was published in 2004. He also organized, edited and wrote chapters of a history of The Associated Press, “Breaking News: How the Associated Press Has Covered War, Peace, and Everything Else.” –Walter and Fran Mears

SALAMA & FRAZER

A BY OLIVIA COHEN

After meeting on eHarmony in the fall of 2015, Chapel Hill High School and NC State grad Heba Salama and Ontario native Greg Frazer went on their first date at Glasshalfull. It wasn’t long until the couple started adventuring across the U.S. and Canada to destinations as far as Hawaii and knew that they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together. In preparation for the proposal, Greg met with a jeweler to create a custom-made ring for Heba. While the pair was out searching for a new home, Greg claimed he needed to stop by his current house. Much to Heba’s surprise, the dining room was filled with flowers and Greg got down on one knee. She responded to his proposal with an eager “yes,” the perfect way to symbolize the beginning of their new life together. The wedding will be held at the Rock Quarry Farm on October 29, 2017. The couple resides in Chapel Hill, where Heba runs Heba Salama Photography and Greg is a senior principal transformation consultant for CA Technologies. CHM

FELT & BREWER

K C BY OLIVIA COHEN PHOTOGRAPHY BY ROBIN LIN ROBINLIN.COM

Keaton Brewer and Kate Felt first connected while working in Chapel Hill in 2013. After three happy years together, Keaton was ready to pop the question. He proposed on the 50-yard line at Kenan Memorial Stadium with “Kate, will you marry me?” displayed across the jumbotron. To make the surprise even sweeter, Keaton flew Kate’s family into Chapel Hill to join her on this big day. A little over a year later in December 2016, the wedding festivities kicked off early as the men participated in skeet shooting and lunch at The King Fisher Society and the women enjoyed some downtime at a spa. After a busy morning, the group convened for a horse and carriage ride, followed by a beautiful ceremony at The Village Chapel in Pinehurst and a reception at the Pinehurst Country Club’s Outlook Ballroom. The happy couple remarked that everyone danced the night away to the music of Right to Party. Kate and Keaton were joined by family and friends including parents Laura and Stephen Felt and Rhonda and Gunter Brewer and siblings Stephen Felt, Molly DaPrato and Lauren Brewer. During the months following the wedding, the couple was especially excited about purchasing a house in the Briarcliff neighborhood. Kate now works as the senior compliance officer and assistant treasurer at Academy Securities and Keaton is a vice president financial advisor at CAPTRUST in Raleigh. CHM

STERNBACH & ELKINS BY TIA NANJAPPAN PHOTOGRAPHY BY HOOMAN VESIC, VESIC PHOTOGRAPHY; VESIC.COM

Chapel Hill natives Emily Sternbach and Alexander Elkins met at East Chapel Hill High School in math class. Despite Alex transferring to Chapel Hill High School for his last two years, the two remained good friends. They reconnected during a college summer break in 2006 and started dating. Ten years later, Alex proposed on a ski trip. Alex and Emily were married in April 2017 at The Barn at Lloyd’s Dairy. During the ceremony, it started raining as the wedding party headed down the aisle, but the sun came out just as the bride walked out to the music played by Big Fat Gap. Dressed in a veil she crafted herself out of lace that her mother had once made, Emily also had one of her mother’s scarves and her rings tied around her bouquet. A guest list of 300 people meant that the couple was surrounded by a lot of loved ones, including their parents, Daniel Sternbach, Susan and Rob Reda and Ted and Debra Elkins and a wedding party full of locals. They had magician Joshua Lozoff entertain all during the lively cocktail party. The evening wrapped up with shot glasses of milk – appropriate given the venue’s former life as a dairy farm – paired with cookies, plus bags of Dusty Donuts mini donuts. Emily and Alex live in Denver with their pup, Crockett. CHM

CARMODY & BARTHALOW

BY L AUREN WILKINSON PHOTOGRAPHY BY KRISTIN PRELIPP KPOPHOTO.COM

UNC and UNC School of Law graduate Meghan Carmody met now-

husband Matthew Barthalow at their intellectual property boutique law firm in Alexandria, Virginia. They casually dated for a month or so, but decided the timing wasn’t right and just remained friends for years. When she became single again, he asked her on a date like he’d promised and they’ve been together ever since. Matt whisked Meghan away for a weekend to go to a bed-andbreakfast in Maryland, where they listened to live piano music, drank cocktails and were treated to a seven-course dinner for two. After dinner, he proposed in private with roses, chocolates and Champagne. Matt and Meghan spent the rest of the night calling family and friends to share the news of their engagement. For their rehearsal dinner, Meghan’s family gave the couple a surprise gift – a performance by the UNC Clef Hangers complete with “Carolina in My Mind.” The Carolina blue skies proved to be wonderful for the couple’s October wedding ceremony outside at The Carolina Inn. Meghan’s parents, Jody Jarowey and Chris Deschene – who both walked her down the aisle – and Matt’s parents, Dolores and Michael Barthalow, all attended the wedding, along with family from all over the country. Meghan said she was walking on air all day and was so happy to share a place that is so special in her heart with Matt on their big day. Meghan and Matt went on their honeymoon this past May to Ireland. They are expecting a baby boy in a few months. CHM
