difference

After retiring, Sarah P. Duke Gardens volunteer Rick Fisher rediscovered his interest in photography. He now uses his pictures as a way to give back to our community.

Dana Lange, a beloved member of the Durham Magazine team since our launch and the past board chair of the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina, highlights her fellow Durhamites making a difference by giving back.

BY DANA LANGE

If you’ve ever seen a beautiful photo of

Sarah P. Duke Gardens and wondered, “How’d they get that shot?” you are probably looking at the work of Rick Fisher. How Rick, an uber-devoted volunteer photographer, captures the glorious beauty of the gardens involves a lifetime of studying photography, early morning access to the grounds and perhaps a 30-foot ladder.

S Y M B I O T I C R E L AT I O N S H I P Rick has always loved photography, and when he retired from a career as a human resources executive, he channeled his passion into a gift not just to Sarah P. Duke Gardens, but also to many other nonprofits in Durham. “I started Rick Fisher Photography with the promise to give all my profits to charity,” he says. So having a portrait of your pet taken by Rick turns into a gift to our community as well. His path to becoming the gardens’ photographer was not a straight one: “I started at the gardens volunteering in the propagation room helping with plants,” Rick says. The executive director of the gardens, William LeFevre, recognized the talent Rick had with a camera and asked if he would take some shots of the gardens. This partnership flourished. Rick joined the board at the gardens and also became the official volunteer photographer. With unique access to all parts of the gardens, Rick captured not only the 6

D u r h a m

M a g a z i n e

ever-changing landscape throughout the year, but also recognized that a hill on one side of the grounds would be perfect for a natural amphitheater. Thanks to his passion for photography, Rick and his wife, Beth, were able to donate a significant sum to the construction the amphitheater; last year, Duke’s master stone mason Brooks Burleson fulfilled Rick’s vision for the space on the hill. Today, it is the site for weddings and performances, in addition to simply being an exciting structure that kids love to climb. PHOTO OPP The Sarah P. Duke Gardens are not the only recipient of Rick’s photography. “I take photos at the Durham Rescue Mission,” Rick says, “where homeless residents often don’t have any photos of themselves.” One day after taking pictures of mothers and their children at the Good Samaritan Inn, a person from the Durham Rescue Mission’s women’s shelter asked Rick who the beautiful model was in the picture with the two kids. “Photos help people see the humanity, not just the homelessness,” he says. Through the generous and thoughtful eye of his camera, Rick Fisher is not only capturing the beauty of Durham, but is also sharing it with the rest of us. DM J u n e / J u l y

A NIGHT TO SAVOR PHOTOGRAPHY BY BRIANA BROUGH AND SARAH ARNESON

We had a blast at our third annual Grand TASTE Experience at the Durham Armory. Chefs from Gocciolina, The Durham Hotel, the Washington Duke Inn, Piedmont, Mateo, blu seafood and many other restaurants offered samples, as did artisan food makers like Big Spoon Roasters, La Farm Bakery and Brood Soda. Plus, there was plenty of beer, wine and spirits, and it was all set to a live soundtrack thanks to the Mint Julep Jazz Band. A portion of the proceeds benefited the Durham branch of the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina, providing 25,000 meals to the community. DM

ALL FUN AND GAMES PHOTOGRAPHY BY CAROLINE ROESSLER

More than 400 athletes gathered at Durham Academy Upper School in April to compete in Durham County’s Special Olympics. Classes were canceled at DA, which has hosted these spring games for 31 years, so that students and staff could assist in the event. Durham Parks and Recreation coordinates the day, involving developmentally disabled athletes from Durham Public Schools who compete in track and field, softball and play activities. The opening ceremonies began with a colorful parade of athletes and coaches, followed by remarks from community dignitaries including Durham Police Deputy Chief Anthony Marsh, who applauded competitors: “You show us that when any person is given the chance, [they] can do extraordinary things.” The lighting of the Special Olympics torch was led by athletes Calvin Thompson, a student at Durham School of the Arts, and Uriel Cervantes, a student at Southern High School. More than 600 volunteers attended, including 450 Durham Academy Upper School students and faculty, members of the Durham Police and Fire Departments, and members of the Catholic service organization Knights of Columbus.

IF YOU BUILD IT ... PHOTOGRAPHY COURTESY HABITAT FOR HUMANITY FOR DURHAM, ORANGE AND WAKE COUNTIES

Close to 40 local executives built walls inside of Habitat for Humanity of Wake County’s new warehouse facility during the fifth annual Habitat for Humanity CEO Build. The event brings together chief executive officers and top business executives from Durham, Orange and Wake counties to work on a construction site – though this year’s build was rained out – to learn more about the impact of Habitat initiatives on families and neighborhoods across the Triangle. Sponsorships from this build totaled $225,000, which will allow three families in each county to purchase a home with an affordable mortgage. Over the next few months, volunteers from the participating companies will pick up where their CEOs left off. Since 2011, CEOs have sponsored and built homes for 17 Triangle families. DM

STRIKING THE RIGHT

CHORD Notasium founders Preston Clarke and Stephen Norman-Scott now bang pots, strum the banjo and rush down slides – all aimed at teaching kids music appreciation BY LAURA ZOLMAN KIRK | PHOTOGRAPHY BY BRIANA BROUGH

Launched in August 2015, the instrument-

themed play space, music school and coffee shop mash-up was an idea of Preston’s that had been brewing for a while. An indie singer, songwriter and musician who spent his early career playing in Los Angeles and New York City, Preston and his family relocated to Durham, where he was hired as the lead instructor of the Rock ‘n Roll High School in Apex. “Trying to get the younger kids in there was really tough,” Preston says of the school. So he sought to create something targeting that demographic, getting “to kids in a musical way before they’re ready for lessons.” Most kids 5 and younger don’t have the focus for classical instruction yet, “but they have the attention span to play with something,” he says. He chatted with pal Stephen – an artist turned entrepreneur who founded web development and marketing firm CSupport Services – who was looking for something new in his work life, too. In just a few short months, the Notasium concept – a musical wonderland meant for J u n e / J u l y

children of all ages and their parents, too – was ready for a Kickstarter campaign. Six months after raising $43,635 on Kickstarter (thanks in part to support from local moms’ groups), and with the help of a few key investors, Notasium was open for business at 3750 Durham-Chapel Hill Blvd., combining three different revenue streams: Older kids visit for a lesson while parents grab a cup of Bean Traders coffee and younger children explore the play space, where they discover a wall mapping out different sounds around the world and an organ built to teach scales (all constructed for Notasium specifically, mostly by friends, family, and Preston and Stephen themselves). Kids of every age can rock out on stage, sing in the soundproof karaoke booths, jump on the bounce-house drum or race down the guitar slide. When asked why they chose a for-profit model over a nonprofit one, Preston and Stephen have a few reasons: less red tape, a chance to open quickly and the option to expand, which the team looks to do in the near future. “We want to bring this musical experience to as many people as possible,” Preston says.

NOTES ON NOTASIUM • Notasium was fully conceptualized in late 2014. After strategizing over the holidays, Preston and Stephen launched a Kickstarter campaign in February 2015, which ended in March after they exceeded their fundraising goal. • Notasium began with two music teachers and six students before the play space was even built; it now employs close to 10 instructors and serves more than 100 students. • On an average Saturday, the play space hosts six children’s birthday parties. • Three group classes per week were originally offered; now they offer 12. • The number of kids in the play space per day can range from 30 to almost 80 on a rainy day. Daily rates are $8 for children ages 1 and older, $6 for siblings. • The play space can be enjoyed by children ages 1 through 10, “but, really, the sweet, sweet spot is somewhere between 2 and 6,” Stephen says. • Notasium offers 15 types of private lessons, including guitar, voice and piano, but also oboe, bassoon, flute, mandolin and ukulele. • Kids are typically ready for lessons at about 5 years old, but Preston and Stephen say it depends on the child.

I was raised by my mom and two sisters – they and friends of mine that all had and still have great bands in the area. are a bit older than me, so it was like having three mamas. At Once I started going to live shows and meeting local musicians times, we lived in places where we all shared a bed. But, no matter – basically immersing myself in that for a long time – it became how hard things were, they took great care of me. the norm for me. Maybe it just felt like the natural thing to do in Once I hit middle school, I started listening to more music, many ways. I definitely heard records that made me want to play saving money to get CDs, attempting to figure out what I was guitar or bass or piano, but I honestly never heard someone [sing] into. My parents are kids of the ’70s, so I heard a lot of soul, and say, ‘OK, I have to sing.’ I never thought R&B, funk and old rock ‘n’ roll growing up. I I was good enough. But then, with the music would also follow whatever my sisters were into I loved, I knew it was more about being you – I remember hearing stuff like Salt N Pepa, Get your tickets now for Festival for the Eno – and expressing that. It actually took me getting Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, whatever Nikki performs July 4 at on stage and singing to give me the realization. was on ‘Soul Train.’ … And then I started the 37th annual celebration benefiting the Of course being new to it, I was full of doubt spending a lot of time at the record stores and Eno River Association. and anxiety, but the music was so much more just discovering things that were new to me. important than my doubt.

Longtime Durhamite Gillian Rose Galdy of Bloomin’ Rose Flowers struggled to find her niche in the professional world after earning her printmaking visual arts degree from Guilford College. But soon, a lifelong passion for flowers and creating floral crowns opened up a new possibility for Gillian: floral design. “[It was] the answer to being able to have a creative outlet that actually could be sustainable financially,” Gillian says. Her path now clear, she started working at Ninth Street Flowers under Durham florist Stephanie Garrett. Gillian’s art savvy informed her arrangements of flowers, and she confidently began constructing large, highly structured centerpieces with as much ease as her bud vases and flower crowns. “I’ve been trained to do anything,” Gillian says of her work with Stephanie. “I learned under the hands of someone who does floral design through an artistic lens.” And what’s more impressive is that Gillian does it all with sustainable, locally grown and, often, chance-driven blossoms. “There’s a bit of flexibility that’s involved,” Gillian says. Working with what the farmers have on hand, her clients are understanding of the fact that they might not get peonies or tulips or whatever they have in mind. “My business is very much dedicated to the idea of using seasonal, local blooms and everything that comes with that,” Gillian says. Naturally, as a locally minded florist, Gillian is a huge fan of the farms she works with, such as Durham Farmers’ Market regulars Wild Scallions Farm, Waterdog Farms and Bluebird Meadows, as well as Funny Girl Farm, Sol Patch Farms and Spring Forth Farm. Thankfully, with close to 20 events under her belt, she has not yet had any trouble providing a bride with the color palette she desires.

Blast from the Past

You’re probably familiar with the Washington Duke Inn & Golf Club, located on Duke University’s West Campus. What you may not know is that its namesake, the Washington Duke Hotel, opened in 1924 thanks to the fundraising of a number of prominent citizens, led by businessman John A. Buchanan. It stood in the center of downtown for 50 years before shutting down in 1975. The Major the Bull statue now stands in its place on CCB Plaza. Ninety years later, an item from the original hotel has been shared with the public for the first time. A time capsule, which was placed in the cornerstone, was rescued from the hotel’s demolition and later brought to the Washington Duke Inn. They donated the time capsule and its contents to the Duke University Archives in 2015, and the items – including Riz Tam Tam, a natural complement of loose tobacco bags; Duke’s Mixture, an early loose tobacco brand of W. Duke & Sons; and hosiery produced by the Durham Hosiery Mill – can be viewed in an exhibit outside the rare book room in Rubenstein Library, located at 411 Chapel Dr. “It’s unusual to find a time capsule in such good condition,” says Duke University archivist Valerie Gillispie. “… The contents reflect major figures and industries in Durham during the groundbreaking of what was then the first and only hotel in Durham.” Visit the exhibit, on display until July 17, and discover what Durham life was like in the 1920s. – Amanda MacLaren DM J u n e / J u l y

Tony Riggsbee – the Bulls’ PA announcer – on his process, how a teacher at the old Durham High helped discover his talent and his undying love for the game AS TOLD TO ANDREA GRIFFITH CASH | PHOTO BY BRIANA BROUGH Could there be a more perfect person for the job? Tony Riggsbee was born at Watts Hospital in 1953. He grew up on Trinity Avenue. He went to Bulls games as a kid. He graduated from Durham High – where he served as official scorer for the baseball team. He’s been behind a local microphone since 1972. He’s covered the Bulls for radio and television. He took the job as PA announcer in 2007, after Bill Law retired. Today, Tony lives in his grandparents’ old house in Duke Park with his wife, Bambi, who teaches dancing and works in costuming for DPAC and the Carolina Ballet. He often walks the more than two miles to the game. In his rare free time – between a part-time radio job and spending much of the off-season being on for spring training and the Fall League in Arizona – you’ll find him reading books about baseball on his 1920s porch. He also loves historical non-fiction. That’s helping him this election cycle. “I think if you know history, nothing bothers you as much because you see everything is cyclical. And we’ve always survived,” he says. More, now, in Tony’s own words: 44

game time. And the first thing I do is go through the script – it’s usually waiting for me at my desk. Krista Boyd, our director of marketing, usually has that ready. I’m very set in my ways. I have to put it in a three-ring binder. That’s the way I like to work during the game. Then as soon as the lineups are there, I set up my score sheet. I don’t like being rushed. That way I can ease into it a little bit. Then I have a chance to chat with the other people in the press box, particularly visiting radio folks and the scouts, and sometimes I have the chance to go down and speak to the umpires. So, by an hour before game time, I’m ready to go get the pre-game meal, and then about a half-hour before game time is usually when we start our announcements. During the game, I have two functions. One, to keep up with the batters, announce each batter as they come in, any pitching J u n e / J u l y

Take a drive to the country for some fresh-from-the-fields produce at local farm stands.

LOVE ON BABY CHICKS, DUCKLINGS, BUNNIES, PIGS AND MORE at Blue Whistler Farm’s biweekly Open Farm + Market events. (The next one is June 4.) The Bahama-based farm is just a 20-minute drive from Durham. After your tour, pick up pasture-raised proteins from a wide selection, including eggs, turkey, rabbit, lamb, pork and soon duck. For a real treat, visit Blue Whistler during their Summer Festival on June 18 for local crafts, pastries, brews and more. Fully stocked with organic delicacies year-round, the Perkins Orchard stand on Barbee Road is brimming this time of year with watermelons, peaches, strawberries and tomatoes … as well as kiwis, oranges and even fresh coconuts. “The fact that all the fruits and vegetables sit outside on the fruit stand allows them to ripen up continuously,” says Perkins owner Donovan Alexander Watson, allowing Perkins Orchard’s produce to reach peak deliciousness. Donovan’s grandfather started the stand in the 1970s, “and we’ve been open every day, from 9 a.m. to 8 at night, ever since,” he says. This summer, the stand offers frozen fruit pops and sorbets made on-site with no added sugar or dairy, and, on Fridays, the stand hosts a fondue party, offering as much fresh fruit and gourmet dark and milk chocolate fondue as you can handle for the flat fee of $12 a person. Located between Durham and Chapel Hill, Funny Girl Farm has the perfect location for a farm stand. After purchasing the land in 2011, Adam and Rosalind Abram built their farm business focused on sustainable growing methods. The stand followed in 2014, and the summers typically boast pastureraised eggs and meats, cucumber, zucchini, local cheeses, watermelon, peppers, preserves, eggplant, okra, herbs and tomatoes. “Nothing beats a local, sustainably grown tomato right out of the field, especially our heirloom varieties,” Funny Girl Farm’s marketing and sales manager Casey Roe says. For folks looking to easily enjoy Funny Girl’s bounty all summer, it’s not too late to sign up for its farm share – a pay-ahead price gets you credit at the stand June through August. “While [the CSA] begins June 1, we would still allow latecomers to join after that date,” Casey says.

From Ponysaurus’ Weissbier and Bull City Burger’s Pratt Pilsner to Fullsteam’s Rocket Science IPA and Bull Durham’s Lollygagger Kolsch, Durham’s breweries develop a number of incredible brews for the scorching months ahead. Likewise, Mystic Bourbon Liqueur, The Brothers Vilgalys Spirits Co.’s Zaphod and Beebop liqueurs, and Durham Distillery’s gins are wonderful additions to cocktails.

6 Have a glass – or a can – of vino, thanks to the Queen of Wines. IF WINE IS MORE YOUR STYLE, but perhaps a more daunting beverage in terms of finding what suits your palate best, let the Queen of Wines, Laure Levesque, help guide your tastes. After leaving a 20-year corporate career in 2015, Laure launched this business featuring “Gem Wines” from family-run French estates, where the grapes are sustainably grown. “Most of them are landing on the American market for the first time, offering new opportunities for discovery and surprise to wine lovers,” Laure says. “I also expect each wine to over-deliver in terms of quality, consistency and balance.” The venture has steadily grown from a one-woman show with a selection of wines from Bordeaux to a team of several wine ambassadors covering all of North Carolina and offering specific selections from all over France – you can find them in restaurants, wine stores, etc. throughout N.C. The unique

labeling that Laure developed gives you key info for each wine you’re tasting – how long to let it breathe, what temperature it’s best served at, the grape varieties used and the best foods to accompany it. Queen of Wines even has you covered when it comes to finding a way to bring your preferred beverage with you to the pool or the beach – bring it in a can. “Since I started working on the launch of Queen of Wines, I had thought of

b u c k e t

l i s t

offering a portable wine packaging to allow wine lovers to enjoy their favorite beverage anytime, anywhere …” Laure says. “With Winestar [I found] the perfect answer: a collection of premium French wine in a can – an unbreakable container, lightweight, recyclable, protecting wine’s qualities, easy to chill and transport. Plus you get to choose between a glass of red, rose or white wine, all equally delicious. What else could you possibly want?” – AM

Plan to attend at least one performance during the American Dance Festival’s 83rd season. Based on recommendations from ADF staff, long-time patrons, board members and volunteers, we’ve collected an insider’s guide to this summer-long celebration of dance.

July 22-23 Back by popular demand – last year’s performances sold out – Company Wang Ramirez’s work is described as “genre-defying.” “I saw the duo piece last year, and it was breathtaking,” says ADF patron Alison Bowes. “The lyricism and athleticism were spectacular, and I can’t wait to see more.” Also, be sure to check out the Children’s Saturday Matinee performance at 1 p.m. at the Durham Performing Arts Center. Levi’s mom, Helen, says these special kid performances are great. “Start [them] early,” she says. “As early as you can.”

Footprints July 25-27 Four ADF-commissioned world premieres in one groundbreaking performance series, all by ADF School (a number of summer programs visited by more than 500 dance students and artists each year) students alongside professional dancers. “I love how this program merges the ADF performance season and school together,” Jodee says. “This program provides choreographers with the opportunity to create something they might not otherwise have the chance to do at home. … For ADF students, it provides them with the mini-experience of what it might be like to work with a professional dance company.” “I love seeing the students perform,” Alison agrees. “The school is such an important part of ADF, and so many don’t know about it.”

An Evening with Savion Glover and Jack DeJohnette June 20-21 Bringing together Jack DeJohnette, legendary drummer and jazz master, with the king of tap, Savion Glover, this performance promises to be “once in a lifetime.” “I love tap, jazz, [and the fact] that ADF and Duke are co-presenting,” Pamela says. She saw Jack last year but hasn’t seen Savion in a long time, she says. “Can’t wait.” Alison is also on the Savion Glover train: “Savion Glover is a tap god,” she says. PHOTO COURTESY DUKE PERFORMANCES

June 22-24 As part of the Out-of-the-Box performances this year, Sarah Juli tackles taboos. “Sara will take us on a journey about motherhood that is both humorous and tender,” ADF Director Jodee Nimerichter says. “Somehow after seeing a performance of Sara’s, you begin to question why the subject matter was ever taboo to begin with.” Helen Tapper, mother of 14-year-old marketing and merchandise volunteer Levi Tapper, also touted Sara Juli: “A good pick for a 14-year-old,” she says, noting how she and Levi enjoyed the comedic aspects of the show. And this year’s performance at Motorco Music Hall promises to be a special one. “Audiences will have a chance to see an intimate solo performance in a socially fun environment,” Jodee says. “A combination of seeing dance theater, having a drink and some good laughs … adds up to a delightful time in my book!”

5 by 5 June 28-30 Five performances by five electrifying artists including Mark Dendy, Gabrielle Revlock, Rosie Herrera, Brian Brooks and Dafi Altabeb. “Rosie Herrera and Mark Dendy on the same program [is] a bargain!” says Pamela Green, former ADF board member, current patron and business associate. She says to expect both laughter and tears from this performance. Arthur Rogers, current ADF board member, also recommends 5 by 5 for the same two reasons – Mark and Rosie – as well as for the great venue location, Reynolds Industries Theater in Duke University’s Bryan Center. – LZK J u n e / J u l y

Head off the beaten path. EVERYONE LOVES THE AMERICAN TOBACCO TRAIL (and for good reason), but take time this summer and discover some secret sweet spots around our beautiful city to bike, run, walk and play. We spoke with Kendra Bridges, chair of Durham’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Commission, about her favorite trails that are so worth exploring: “The Ellerbe Creek Trail connects Club Boulevard north through Northgate Park, past the Brontosaurus at the Museum of Life and Science and on to Rock Quarry Park. This is one of Durham’s oldest trails. Also, be sure to check out the Northgate Park dog park along the way!

thirteen D u r h a m

Into downtown, the South Ellerbe Creek Trail winds through neighborhoods and passes by the Ellerbe Creek Watershed Association’s Pearl Mill Nature Preserve before heading into the popular Central Park neighborhood of downtown. The trail’s rolling terrain provides a challenge, but is still accessible to all members of the family. Heading south, the Third Fork Creek Trail begins near Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway at Southern Boundaries Park, winds through neighborhoods along the creek and ends at Garrett Road. This trail is a great option for those in south Durham who desire to try out a new trail or go to Southern Boundaries Park.” – LZK

Challenge: Attend at least 7 of our 10 can’t-miss events, starting on page 31.

Plan a picnic at Sarah P. Duke Gardens.

With jazz, rock, reggae and R&B concerts planned, as well as family-friendly and date-night movies – Durham Parks and Recreation’s Rock the Park series offers an engaging mix of activities in various parks to please just about every Durhamite this summer. And best of all, they’re all free! 54

Kendra Bridges enjoys jogging on the American Tobacco Trail, but she also encourages the exploration of Durham’s other, lesser-known trails.

Tours depart from the Durham Farmers’ Market on Saturdays at 10 a.m.

You already know you’ve got to cheer on the Bulls at least once this summer, but in case you need an extra push to get to a game, here are some special dates to put on your calendar: June 8 – Bring your pup to the ballpark for the second Bark in the Park of the season. June 9 – Come out to “DURM” night to see the Bulls’ in specially designed jerseys by Durham-based clothing company Runaway.

It kind of goes without saying, but you’ve just got to explore our fantastic waterways, lakes and pools this summer, if for nothing else than relief from the heat. There are so many options for canoeing, kayaking, fishing, camping, picnicking and swimming – whether you’re out on Jordan Lake, Falls Lake or Lake Michie, or at one of the five access points within the Eno River State Park. The latter boasts nearly 30 miles of trails through shady forests, which pass river bluffs and historic mill and home sites along the river. Visit ncparks.gov to start planning an excursion!

June 22 – Take a half-day off work and enjoy an afternoon game versus the Charlotte Knights. June 24 – Stay after the game against the Lehigh Valley IronPigs and watch the Durham skyline light up with fireworks.

As you wander around downtown on warm summer evenings – or to briefly escape the brutal temperatures in the middle of the day – venture into the 21c Museum Hotel and peruse the galleries, which are free to explore and open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, all year long. Public docent tours are offered most Wednesdays and Fridays at 5 p.m. – use that as an opportunity to learn more about the hotel’s most current exhibit, “OFF-SPRING: New Generations,” which explores the development of both personal and group identity, childhood, family, history and gender politics through sculptures, paintings, photographs and videos. It remains on view through September.

Frozen treats are a must – and are much sweeter when they are local! TAKE THE “100 FLAVOR CHALLENGE” at Pelican’s SnoBalls. “Each season we have dozens of people start, but only a handful finish,” says Miles Abbason, co-owner of Pelican’s SnoBalls in the north and central Durham locations. For a cool spot to watch fireworks this July 4, head to their Fayetteville Street location overlooking downtown. Stack up that sweet cream in a cone at The Parlour. If the season works in their favor, honeysuckle ice cream with a berry swirl will be this summer’s prize gem at their brickand-mortar on Market Street, as well as on the road with their food truck bus (regularly making appearances at Durham Central Park rodeos). Cocoa Cinnamon is now selling their baked goods, and their ice cream can also be found at Bulldega, Dashi, Dos Perros and Rue Cler. And make sure to try some of Locopops’ seasonal delights this summer: lavender cream, cran-apple jalapeno (one of founder Summer Bicknell’s faves) and peach! Look for the addition of lemon lavender sorbet and strawberry lemonade to their Bulls’ athletic park stand, and find Locopops around town at events like Duke Performance’s Music in the Gardens and

home is both sprawling and intimate, seemingly an impossibility. It’s why they love it. “Despite having 4,500 square feet, it feels really cozy,” Leann says. That’s because they moved in with a game plan: Carve out an everyday family area, use it to the max and let the rest become functional accessory. They were moving from just a few neighborhoods over, where “we had an open-concept kitchen and living room that we weren’t willing to give up,” Leann says. The Jocius brood was

“This was my baby,” Leann says, gesturing at the island in the kitchen. Well, besides her actual babies: The Jociuses designed the kitchen when Leann was pregnant with Jett. “It was a little nerve-racking making major decisions when pregnant,” Leann recalls. “You’re warned to not even change your hairstyle, and I’m making permanent construction decisions. Fortunately, I still like everything.”

expanding – daughter Lyra, now 4 years old, would soon be joined by her sister, Jett, now 16 months old – and they needed more bedrooms; they found a house with the space and set to recreating the kitchen and living area. “For us, there were three big things,” Gavin, the executive vice president of Great Big Canvas, explains. “Leann cooks; we wanted a great entertaining space. We have kids; we wanted a place for them to play outside. And I sell art and collect art, so I wanted to have wall space.” With a few architectural tweaks and a healthy dose of design sense, they made the paradox happen. FOCAL POINT “We bought this house on the condition of the kitchen renovation,” Leann says. Despite plenty of square footage, the home’s original kitchen was dated and enclosed. As a passionate cook – she founded the recipe blog Bull City Food – limited kitchen space wasn’t an option. Despite an open doorway into the living room, the kitchen also felt unnecessarily isolated. “You J u n e / J u l y

couldn’t see from the kitchen into the living room,” Leann says. “With small children, that was going to be a problem for me.” They decided to bring in a pro, which they found in architect Douglas Janes. He recommended removing a sunken living room feature and opening up the ceiling to make the kitchen, dining area and living room feel like one large space. Rather than have a stairway in the thick of it all, they added a definitively hip spiral version in the corner. “We were able to open it up and have that open concept that everyone wants.” Sure enough, the family spends most of their time hanging out in the space – snacking and chatting while Leann cooks dinner or watching a movie after the girls go to bed. “That’s why we did 70

At Great Big Canvas, Gavin and his team work diligently to make art accessible and to offer something for everybody. The Jocius household is the perfect example: a gallery of Gavin’s modern-urban taste. In the den, skateboards painted by contemporary artist Damien Hirst set a street-art theme, which is followed with what looks like abstract photos in an adjoining sitting room. “They’re photos by Chris Hadfield, who was the commander of the International Space Station,” Gavin clarifies. “As he was orbiting earth, he took all of these amazing photos J u n e / J u l y

It’s a funky but cohesive approach, each room a foray into a different interest. Gavin says he’s loved having the space to spread out and display his art, and plans to continue a lifetime of collecting. True to Gavin’s company philosophy, though, is the integration of art in every sense of the word. “He’s into art. I’m more of a family photos person,” Leann says. Which is where having a husband who prints canvases for a living comes in handy. “A canvas makes photos look so much more polished and art-like.” The main living room – the one attached to the kitchen – bears family photos in various canvas sizes on the walls. It’s genuinely a room to celebrate their family. Lyra adds to the display space, too, by frequently contributing J u n e / J u l y

to her own personal gallery wall. Layers of drawings, paintings, glittered creations and feather-bedecked portraits by their older daughter cover a substantial connecting sheath. “Between it all, we get more artwork than we can possibly display,” Leann says with a laugh. ‘FOREVER HOME’ Having perfected the interior doesn’t mean the Jociuses neglect being out of doors. Leann grew up in Forest Hills and marvels at the full-circle chance to raise her own kids just down the road from her mother. For Leann, there’s no place like home, but Gavin is a convert. The two met at Duke, and Lyra was born in Durham, but they weren’t committed to putting down roots yet. “We looked at packing up and moving,” Gavin says. “We were thinking about [my native] Canada; we were thinking about cross-country. And then we were like, ‘Why? Durham is affordable. There are jobs. There’s family.’” Forest Hills represents everything they most love about the area. “We’re a five-minute walk from downtown, and we can also walk to Nana’s and bring the kids to Nanataco,” Gavin says. “There are deer in the backyard. There’s a city beaver in the creek across the street. We see wildlife all the time – Leann’s sister lives in Hillsborough, and we see just as much nature and wildlife as she does. We have just as many trees.” It’s the whole package: a home base for a budding chef and hostess and an avid art collector. “We’re not going anywhere,” Leann says. “This is our forever home.” DM J u n e / J u l y

RUN THE

GOOD RACE Legendary track and field Coach Al Buehler reflects on his many memories and accomplishments, having retired from Duke’s faculty last year to spend his golden years at The Forest at Duke BY JILL WARREN LUCAS | PHOTOGRAPHY BY BRIANA BROUGH

Sure, Al Buehler is remembered for a lot of important moments

in athletic history – among them leveraging groundbreaking Title IX legislation to push Duke University to institute a women’s track program in the late 1970s. But let’s take a moment to remember a particular woman – a girl, really, who first pushed him. Without her, it could be argued that he might not have enjoyed his own career as a standout runner, might not have spent 60 years on the faculty at Duke – the longest tenure of a professor at the university – or coached so many medal-winning athletes at the Olympic Games. “I’ll always remember Frances Caves,” says the 85-year-old coaching icon from the living room of the cozy Forest at Duke home he shares with his wife of 57 years, Delaina, 82. Sitting in his favorite easy chair, he closes his eyes and lets his lean body drift across the decades of memory to the fields of Woodlawn Way Junior High in Hagerstown, Md. “She’s the only one who could beat me,” Al adds, winking back to present day with a mischievous grin. “It was embarrassing, but not because she was a girl. It’s because it was a relay. A relay!” A skinny kid, Al routinely beat every other student in his weight class, and those who were much bigger, until Frances blew past him. “I thought I knew all of Al’s stories, but that one’s 80

and field, a position he held through 2000. He trained athletes here and abroad, quietly gaining attention for promoting civil rights at a time when African-American runners were still expected to take their meals without complaint at the back door of restaurants. In 1968, he was the only one willing to step up and help John Carlos and Tommie Smith leave the Olympic Village in Mexico City. The men, who had won gold and bronze medals in the 200-meter event, were ejected after famously raising black-gloved fists during the playing of “The Star-Spangled Banner” to bring attention to apartheid and other civil rights concerns. “It had to be done; I just happened to be there,” says Al, who was there as a color commentator for WTVD. “The whole world was down on them. Saw them as bad characters. But I knew them.” Al made his mark off the track at Duke, too. His “History and Issues of American Sport” seminar was so popular – and continued to be through this spring, 15 years after he retired from coaching – that students routinely signed up for the waitlist, hoping someone would have to withdraw. new to me,” chuckles Delaina. “It’s funny to think he wound up doing so much to help women runners succeed.” Al proved to be a phenomenal athlete, playing every sport as the seasons progressed. He was recruited to run for the University of Maryland at College Park by legendary Coach Jim Kehoe. He excelled there, too, staying on for a semester after graduation as an assistant coach. In 1955, Al was hired by Eddie Cameron to coach the Duke men’s cross-country team; in 1964, he was named head coach of track 82

Game Changer

In 1977, his routine was interrupted by junior Ellison Goodall. An accomplished high school swimmer, Ellison dreamed of following her father’s path as a college runner. Problem was, the Duke junior picked a school without a women’s team. Five years after the passage of Title IX, Al didn’t see anything extraordinary about giving her a chance to show him how she could handle the running track at Wallace Wade Stadium. “She was a natural,” he recalls of the woman still hailed as one of Duke’s best J u n e / J u l y

female athletes. “She wanted to come and run with me. I could see no reason she shouldn’t.” Now Ellison Goodall Bishop, she recalls that her father encouraged her to approach the coach; he was confident that his introvert daughter’s love for solitary running would bloom under his guidance. “Al understood me instantly,” says Ellison, who lives near Charlottesville, Va., “He could see the athlete in me but understood the person within. His insight into the athletic mindset is what sets him apart. It’s why Al’s success is legendary. All athletes deserve support and recognition, and Al has fought tirelessly on all of our behalf.” Al, who was then serving as the chair of the NCAA Track and Field Rules Committee, recalls the uphill battle of persuading Duke that it needed to create a women’s team – not just to accommodate this one promising athlete but to meet the standards required by Title IX, which guaranteed women equal access to sports offered to men. It became especially contentious when it came to deciding which established men’s sports would lose scholarship money to create opportunities for women athletes. In the end, he cut his own budget to ensure that women got their due. With his guidance, Ellison’s record-setting accomplishments soon drew worldwide attention to Duke’s new program. While sore knees forced her to give up running and switch to walking years ago, she finds herself continually reminded of his advice, finding ways to apply it to her life off the track. “I caught myself telling a Coach Al story just the other day,” says Ellison, whose daughter, Elizabeth “Liza” Bishop Janssen, graduated from Duke in 2007. “The message was about digging deep to find that extra bit when you don’t think you have it. I have carried the wisdom of his guidance forward every day of my life.” In addition to coaching runners at Duke, Al represented U.S. sports on the international stage. Among the athletes he mentored was three-time Olympic gold medalist Jackie Joyner-Kersee. “I’ve always been proud of Al supporting women,” says Delaina, recalling that he, in turn, was proud of her for participating in Equal Rights Amendment rallies held at the State Legislative building in 1982. “There were plenty of men who didn’t support that, but Al always did. He saw me as a person, not a woman. He treated all women that way.”

The Story Continues …

In spring 2000, Al met another dynamic female, Amy Unell, one of those students who managed to get off the waitlist and into his class. She was not an athlete but had heard the course was interesting. She 84

D u r h a m

M a g a z i n e

soon found the instructor even more compelling. “It was in Coach’s class that I developed a deeper understanding of sports and history and an appreciation for how he inspired and sparked social change on and off the track,” says Amy, a 2003 grad who is the arts entrepreneurship liaison at Duke’s Innovation & Entrepreneurship Program. She also runs StoryTales Productions, a multimedia company that focuses on telling stories that inspire, motivate and educate. A decade later, the enduring impact of Al’s extraordinary leadership skills led Amy to produce her first documentary film, “Starting at the Finish Line: The Coach Buehler Story.” Narrated by Duke basketball great Grant Hill, who served as one of the project’s key producers and funders, it can be downloaded from iTunes. The film premiered in 2011 at the Phoenix Film Festival and was played at the 2012 Olympic Games in London. It later inspired a book filled with Al’s coaching advice, which Amy co-wrote with her mother, author and parent educator Barbara C. Unell. While Amy and Delaina cheer him on, Al doesn’t move as fast these days. A benign, inoperable brain tumor has slowed him down, affecting his balance and distracting him when sharing detailed recollections of athletes who ran into the pages of history decades ago. The acoustic neuroma has left him deaf in his left ear, but he sometimes plays that to his advantage, pretending to not hear when they playfully tease him. Al is modest but pleased to have helped so many athletes, men and women, achieve success. Today, however, no athlete interests him more than a multi-sport player with a blond ponytail and a similar wide grin. “This is my granddaughter, Julia,” he says, showing off a stillcrisp, two-year-old newspaper with a large color photo and story about how the rising sophomore at Appalachian State led her high school basketball team to triumph. It sits next to a snapshot of a younger Julia learning to ride a bike. “Let me tell you,” he says, tapping the newsprint for emphasis, “she’s the best athlete in the family. Way better than I ever was.” No doubt, she would have left Frances Caves in the dust. DM

with ribs, perfectly dressed coleslaw and steaming baked beans – especially when said beans are chock-full of crispy bites of bacon, as is the case at Primal. But let’s start with those ribs. The pasture-raised pork is dry-rubbed with a blend of spices including ground cumin, coriander, cayenne, white and black pepper, smoked paprika, kosher salt and Sugar in the Raw; after chilling for a few hours, it’s slow-roasted in the oven until it’s almost falling off the bone. Then it’s transferred to a wood grill and hit with a pineapple barbecue sauce. “There’s nothing North Carolina about it,” chef/owner Tim Lyons says in regards to the dressing, which combines sweet with 92

bitter flavors thanks to the addition of pineapple, vinegar, shallots, garlic, tomato paste, maple syrup, chipotle peppers, coffee, celery and thyme. The creamy coleslaw recipe also contains “a laundry list of ingredients.” A throwback to Tim’s time in Key West at Louie’s Backyard, it’s one of the celebrated restaurant’s famous dishes, even appearing in the “Louie’s Backyard Cookbook.” The course is completed with the addition of those aforementioned baked beans (complemented by a sweet-but-subtle maple syrup flavor). As an alternative to wine – and sticking with the refined picnic theme to this meal – Tim recommends pairing it with a refreshing watermelon paloma cocktail. – Amanda MacLaren DM J u n e / J u l y

alcoholic apple juice. “There are bunches of people who are like, ‘I don’t really like cider,’” says Black Twig co-owner Mattie Beason. “And I’m like, ‘No, what you don’t like is what I don’t carry.’” Take the El Chavo from Michigan-based Blake’s Hard Cider, one of more than 90 bottle/can options in addition to six frequently rotating taps. An intricate combination of mango and habanero fuses sweet and spicy with underlying tart apple flavor, all in one sip. “Putting something like this cider in front of somebody and saying, ‘You like it spicy with a little bit of a punch? Taste this.’ And seeing people’s eyes light up and go, ‘What? That’s cider? Nobody told me that was an option for cider.’ That’s been the most fun, seeing people just sort of get it.” J u n e / J u l y

Cider House Rules

It’s a concept that has been in the works for nearly five years, according to Mattie. But the timing had to be just right to launch this “hardcore cider house,” the first the area has seen. “We had to have access to the right cider and the right amount of cider to be able to really make a dent in people’s minds. … There are now enough ciders distributed in the state that I can curate a list I can get excited about. As soon as I hit that point, I was like, ‘OK, John [Eisensmith, Black Twig co-owner], let’s pull the trigger on this.’” Rather than starting a new restaurant – the pair are also partners in Mattie B’s Public House – they revamped their Six Plates Wine Bar in March. A new menu features primarily Firsthand Foods’ sausages on Guglhupf buns – simply because “pork and apples are awesome together.” Mattie has one more rule – if you’re not sure what you want, ask for cider-certified Manager Amy Loria. “She knows what she’s doing.” – Amanda MacLaren DM d u r h a m m a g . c o m

Mills & Anderson

Home Run BY LAURA ZOLMAN KIRK

oth Rachel Mills and Justin Anderson grew up and went to school outside the area, but they now call Durham home. Rachel, a South Carolina native, moved here in 2008 for a clinical research job at Duke. She now works in Duke’s Center for Applied Genomics & Precision Medicine, hosts trivia nights and events regularly at Fullsteam Brewery and is part of the Durham Bulls game day staff. Justin grew up in Oxford, N.C., and moved to Durham in 2009 when he landed a position at Watts Grocery. He has since become the sous chef at Gocciolina. The surprise of Justin’s proposal at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park was accidently made known to Rachel before he popped the question during the first inning on August 30, 2015, but the occasion was still very much a cause for celebration. “To top it all off,” Rachel says, “the Bulls won the game!” Their September 16 ceremony will take place at The Pavilion at Durham Central Park, with a reception to follow at the Durham Armory. Pie Pushers will cater the event, and Tre Bella is providing the flowers. Local wedding party members include Rachel’s sister, Hanna Mills, Sunny Gerhart, Joseph Barker and the couple’s pup, Beau.

Lee & Carter

Picture-Perfect Proposal

BY LAURA ZOLMAN KIRK PHOTOGRAPHY BY MEGAN KIME PHOTOGRAPHY, MEGANKIME.COM

n the summer of 2011, Brett Carter’s membership on dating site eHarmony was ready to expire; then Lorie-Ann Lee’s profile popped up on his screen, prompting Brett to extend his enrollment. That July, the two went on their first date to Six Plates Wine Bar and have been together ever since. On Brett’s birthday in October 2013, Lorie-Ann had planned a weekend full of surprises that included a camping trip to Hammocks Beach State Park, a round of golf at the Washington Duke Inn & Golf Club and dinner at Nana’s. But Brett had also planned a surprise. Following dinner, he presented a gift to Lorie-Ann – at first she thought it was a framed picture of them, but instead found the question, “Will you marry me?” set inside the frame. When Lorie-Ann looked up, Brett was down on one knee. “Our wedding was absolutely amazing!” Lorie-Ann says of their November 15 wedding. The two didn’t initially plan a wedding for that month, but the date is meaningful as it is just a few days before the anniversary of Lorie-Ann’s parents, Melvin and Gertrude Lee of Long Island, who have been married 43 years.
