What It Means To Be A Community T
he Leland area has grown so much that we sometimes focus on just that, on the added people, the new homes and apartments, the new businesses, the increased traffic. But behind all that growth, and all the opportunities and challenges that come with it, is a strong, diverse, vibrant community of real people enjoying their lives and coming together to do the things that bring them joy. For our story on Turn and Burn Farms we traveled into the “country” of Brunswick County that we sometimes forget exists. We found a community of people cheering each other on, challenging themselves, and having an absolute blast racing horses around barrels. Our writer Jan visited Local’s Tavern and found a place where everybody knows your name, and a community of friends helping each other and simply enjoying being together in a relaxing and fun spot. Inside Brunswick Forest we found a community of gardeners ready to show off their hard work and maybe offer some tips to others who would like to turn their back yards into little slices of paradise.
T
hese people might not, and probably don’t all know each other, but they are all the same in an important way. They are building community, and we all benefit from that.

Horsing Around
Wild Bill Arena at the Turn and Burn Farm Hosts Family-Friendly Competitions STORY BY LISA STITES, PHOTOS BY JEFFREY STITES
W
hen her daughter fell in love with riding horses at age three, Natalie Sasser said she knew the family needed to move to the country to live on a farm. Now the family has built that farm into a family business, boarding horses and running the Wild Bill Arena at Turn and Burn Farm, 5085 Columbine Trail NE in Leland, hosting all sorts of western style horse competitions. Children’s parties can be booked year round, and there are still a few spots for summer camps too. “I love being able to give her that opportunity and have this in her backyard,” Natalie said. “I want her to be able to chase her dreams. She tells me all the time she wants to train horses and go to Texas to barrel race horses.” Turning vacant land into a farm and arena was a bit of a challenge with the sandy soil. “We live at the beach. Our ground is very sandy, which is great because it doesn’t hold water, but it is deep,” Natalie said. They hauled in lots of dirt, because Natalie said it’s important for people to have fun and also for the horses not to get hurt.
“It was all done by us, my family, our friends. We have cleared 12 acres, we have the arena, and we board three horses,” Natalie said. The family has seven horses too, and future plans include adding more space for more horses. They bought the land in 2016, after having horses bordered in Honalee Stables in Bolivia. Finely made many friends there, even older girls. The positive experiences Finley had also affected Natalie, and it’s something she’s trying to pay forward in all she does with her business.

“I want people to support each other. I want my daughter to cheer for everybody,” Natalie said. “My daughter had that, and I want that for others.” And that’s exactly the atmosphere at Wild Bill Arena. Spectators — even those without horses or children riding in competition — are welcome. It’s a family-friendly event with a nominal charge at the gate and food service on site. So how did this Leland family get out into the country and into farms and horse racing? Natalie said that they had tried gymnastics, dance and t-ball for Finely. “Someone gave us a gift certificate for a trail ride and that was it, “ Natalie said. “She took off with it.” They bought their first horse when Finley was five years old. “Her name is Emma and she is still out here. That horse is worth her weight in gold. She is the queen out here,” Natalie said. There are also mini horses that help out with birthday parties and children’s camps, and Natalie’s mom even has a trail horse. Natalie is also a math teacher at Southport Christian School, and says she has a great support system with her husband and family in keeping the farm going. The Arena plays host to game shows
and competitions. Natalie explained that the game shows draw more of a local crowd, with belts and buckles as awards, but people will travel for the competitions and the money prizes. People came from 300 miles away to a competition earlier this year. The family started horse camps three years ago, but just started hosting shows in January. The shows will go through the beginning of June, take a break to allow for some grass to be planted, and start up again sometime in the end of August. They’ll probably host 18-20 shows this year. Natalie said she loves how supportive the horse community is and that the sport is great for children. “They learn self control, discipline, taking care of the horses, responsibility,” she said. “They learn everything. They
CURRENTS form that bond with the horses.” She also hopes that farms and stables like hers and others in the area make Brunswick County even more attractive. “Everyone wants to come to the beach but they don’t know the other side of (U.S.) 17, the country side of the County,” Natalie said. “I’m hoping that when we get to expand, people will be able to come to the beach and ride their horse.” And what does 10-year-old Finley like best about horses and riding? “Going fast,” she said.

Biz Spotlight Hanging Out With The Locals
Where Everybody Knows Your Name STORY BY JAN MORGAN-SWEGLE
Like millions of people, I loved the ‘80s TV sitcom, “Cheers.” In case you don’t remember, the premise of the show was how people with little in common could become good friends because they shared a place where they relaxed and escaped the routine of their lives for just a little while. No one judged them, no one shunned them. Everyone was welcome. Most people who remember the show want to have a “Cheers” that they can call their own and I am one of them. People want that place where “everybody knows your name.” The place where Coach and Woody know where to place your drinks because people sit in the same seats
whenever they come in. I want to be that person who opens the door and everyone at the bar calls out my name. I want a place where I belong. I finally found it. Located at 1107 New Pointe Blvd Ste 9, Leland, is “The Local’s Tavern--South
8 Leland Magazine /June /June 2022/ www.LelandMag.com
of the Bridge” (facing U.S. 17 next to the paint store.) I felt at home the minute I walked in. Painted over the bar is the Tavern’s motto: “Nights You Won’t Remember With Friends You’ll Never Forget” and as “Cheers” fans will recall, that was one of the most popular drink tributes from the show and part of the lyrics from the show’s theme song, “Here’s to the Nights,” by Ringo Starr.
Scott Burrell, one of the owners of The Local’s Tavern—South of the Bridge, pointed at the sign proudly, not because of the nod to “Cheers,” but because to him, that is a sign of the love and dedication that people in the community have for the Tavern. “Our customers painted that sign,” he said. “They were tradespeople working on the establishment that was here before us and closed. They
came together donating their time and skills and helped paint and do repairs. From then on, they have pride and a ‘this is my bar’ mentality and we consider them friends.” The Tavern was quiet in the early afternoon the first time I was there, but well attended. People with children sat at tables and enjoyed lunch and a few men sat at the bar talking sports. The bartender, Whitney, called out names and greetings as people arrived. She knew their names and drink orders before they were even seated. You could tell that customer service is very important here. The environment was clean and the food presentation was on par with larger restaurants in the area. When asked how she remembers everyone’s name and order of choice, Whitney laughed and said, “I’m a visual learner. People are creatures of habit. They usually sit in the same place, order the same drink and mostly the same food. I picture where the person sits and then I visualize what drink order is in front of them. Once I put that together, the name just comes to me. But we have a lot of regulars here, so it’s really not that hard.” She managed the lunch food and drink orders for the entire restaurant all by herself and didn’t lose her magical smile once. From salads to sandwiches and everything in between, the food she presented looked wonderful. Everyone who came in seemed to be her friend. “The best thing about this place is the people—not just the owners—they are great, too, but it’s the people who come in,” she said. “Everyone is welcome. Everyone gets along.
It’s an accepting and diverse group of people and I love it here.” The owners — Scott Burrell, Scott and Sharon Evans, and Eric Reitz — have created not only a great restaurant and bar, but an event environment. Scott detailed a list of activities that bring people in. “On Mondays, we have pool tournaments, on Tuesday, it’s trivia, on Wednesday we have music bingo and Thursday through Sunday we have live music. We try to have something for everybody,” he said. “We feel like we are a family-oriented business. There is a good mix of people of all ages that come here, which is why we want to keep trying new things.” Shane, who has frequented the Tavern for more than four years said, “This is my

‘go to’ place. I come here twice a week just to hang out. The service is phenomenal, food is great and the staff takes an interest in people who come here. There’s no bar drama, just people getting together to talk and have a good time.” Another patron, Aaron, feels the same way. “I come here every Tuesday to play trivia,” he said, “but this is really my ‘Cheers’ bar. You get to be friends with everybody, the service is exceptional and it’s a fun place to be. The mayor even had a campaign event here—she loves this
place, too.” Daniel, who was one of the people who donated his time and skills to the Tavern is now “a local” with a lot of friends. He comes often to enjoy the food and entertainment and is proud of what he contributed. “I painted that wall,” he said, pointing to the area behind us. “And I’d do it again. I love this place and the people. They always have new things going on.”
Sharon, who does the marketing, purchasing and administrative functions for Local’s and is described as the backbone of the organization, said that one of the newest things customers will experience is an outside bar, near the patio. “We think it will add a lot to what we have to offer,” she said. “You’ll be able to enjoy the beautiful weather with your friends and family while you’re dining
on great food and listening to music.” Music is very much a part of Local’s. Sharon explained that like many restaurants, they had to go to a take out strategy for a short time to keep the business open due to COVID. “We came up with a delivery and curbside pick-up service for our patrons,” she said. “We played music bingo in the parking lot from 4 to 8 pm with our curbside customers to continue the fun atmosphere we are known for.” Sharon had one more fun surprise. On April 28, in a partnership with local busi-

Flamenco In Leland Flamenco Carolina Comes To The LCAC STORY BY KAYLA PELLEGRIN, PHOTOS CONTRIBUTEDI
T
he wondrous dance of flamenco will be coming to the Leland Cultural Arts Center (LCAC) on June 24, as the Flamenco Carolina group performs 7-9 pm. This one-time dance performance will be accompanied by lively music on stage. Tickets are available for $15 per person. Flamenco Carolina group members Katie Hyde and Alicia Vila provided spoke to me about the dance’s origin, tradition, attire, music, and the overall basics of flamenco. Flamenco originated in Andalucía, an area in the south of Spain, but draws inspiration from other regions such as Africa, the Middle East, and the Americas. In Andalucía, religions like Judaism, Islam, and Christianity, are associated with flamenco, and “Gypsy” or the appropriate term, Roma or Romani individuals, are heavily involved with the flamenco dance. A traditional, true flamenco per-
formance, involves people gathering with or without a guitar to accompany the dance. If there are multiple singers, the singers take turns without missing a beat. Musicians and dancers pay close attention to each other for cues. Sometimes flamenco occurs on the streets — someone may begin by singing a short verse, sometimes improvised, then the public may do palmas (rhythmic clapping) and dance and jaleo (cheer). An enthusiastic audience that “oles” is cru-

cial for a sincere flamenco. To this day, authentic flamenco in Andalucía can still be found at theatres, clubs, parties, celebrations, weddings, baptisms, funerals, and even in residential homes. At a fiesta, a single flamenco can last for as long as 20 minutes. For traditional attire, dancers wear shoes or boots that are hand-made and sturdy. The soles have nails inside to
make the foot-stepping louder and act as additional percussion. The shoes or boots have toe-heel separation to create a range of sounds. But since flamenco can spring up anywhere at any time, it’s not uncommon to see dancers in flip-flops or high heels in public. Female dancers traditionally wear long, ruffled, and colorful skirts, along with hanging jewelry, fringed scarves, hair pins, and flower pins. On some

COMMUNITY occasions, dancers might have fans, a bata de cola (a skirt that goes past the feet from behind), or a manton de Manila (a delicate shawl). The musical choice in flamenco is extremely broad. There are light hearted songs, and there are more serious songs, called cante jondo. Rather than telling the story from the song’s verses, the dancers represent the emotions. This means that the movements in flamenco are determined by the tones of the music. Flamenco is a challenging and difficult dance. The movements must be accurate to the rhythm. It’s a hyper-physical activity, therefore flamenco is the perfect dance for quick learners or experienced dancers, however, all types of bodies, and all ages, from children to elders, can master flamenco.

Jewelry Smithing
CJ’s Sea Shop Offers Unique Pieces STORY BY CARLA EDSTROM
W
ilmington resident and jewelry artist Cameron Johnson uses traditional metalsmithing techniques to create beautiful jewelry using a variety of metals and focal point stones. By using semi-precious stones, genuine sea glass, sea pottery, enamel, and slag glass, Cameron’s jewelry is both unique and beautiful. You can see her designs under her business banner CJ’s Sea Shop at many art festivals and markets. “My work is influenced by living on the coast, my love of color, and my love of plants. All of these elements are pretty heavy in my work.” After earning her Bachelor of Science in Business Management from UNCW, Cameron worked in retail for 10 years. “After I got laid off, I started beading, opened an Etsy shop, and started doing festivals and markets. I wanted to learn how to work with enamel and silver, so I took Metals classes at Cape Fear Community College. A few years later, I took a Casting class at Brunswick Community College. I do love taking classes and learning new techniques!” After losing her retail job, Cameron decided to go into jewelry making full force. “While I have always made jewelry, I really got into it ten years ago. I was laid off from my job in retail and worked
two part-time jobs. While I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do next, I found these cultured sea glass beads online and fell in love with them. I ordered about $100 in supplies and opened an Etsy shop. A friend suggested doing a festival, and that was the point that I realized that I could make it as a full-time artist,” she said. “I wanted to learn how to work with enamel and silver, so I took a couple of Metals classes at Cape Fear Community College. From that point, I have continued to challenge myself by trying new techniques to add more complexity to my work. Every time I have a new ‘this is my favorite’ piece, it is always one that has challenged me & pushed me to try something new,” she said. “My favorite piece is actually one I recently made for myself. I rarely make pieces for myself, despite having many stones that are ‘mine.’ It is a ring with a Seven Dwarfs stone, and is trimmed with an octopus tentacle casting, bead trim, and a tube set cubic zirconia. The stone I used was only mined for a short period of time, so it is pretty rare. I wanted to do something special with it, which only took about 4 years for me to settle on the design.” With her creative process coming from many different places, Cameron likes to focus on complementary colors while creating her enamel pieces. “For example, I have a series I call Horizons. All of the pieces focus on the meeting of colors between the ocean and sky at different times of the day - ocean and sky, ocean and sky at dusk, oceanCJ’s

Sea Shop Features Unique and sky at night, sand and sky, and sea glass and sky,” she said. “For my sea glass pieces, I usually like to keep the settings pretty simple, because I like to focus on the beauty of each piece. My stone settings can be pretty simple, or I make a more complex setting by adding trim, cast silver elements, tube set faceted stones, or complementary stones.” By consistently learning new techniques and using new materials, Cameron finds fresh new inspiration in her designs. “Right now I am really loving waterslide decals with my enamel pieces,” said Cameron. “They bring a fun design element to the enamel. I feel like I will always work with sea glass, semi-precious stones, and enamel, but I love finding new elements to add in. I love adding cast silver elements to my sea glass & stone pieces, and I love finding new stones to work with. Often times I hoard them for a while before I use them in a piece. Sometimes I lay out all my stones, cast silver pieces, and sea glass, and I will arrange pieces that ‘feel’ right together. Sometimes the ideas swirl around in my head for a while before they come to life.” Many artists had difficul-
ty making ends meet during the sudden pandemic situation in 2020 and businesses closed. Cameron is thankful that she had some steady online sales that helped her get through that time. “The pandemic was tough. It all happened so quickly. All of the markets and festivals I had scheduled for MarchMay of 2020 were cancelled within a week. It was really scary, but you move forward in the best way you can,” she said. “At the end of May, we were finally able to open the smaller markets again. It was slower, but I was happy to be able to be out in person again. I really had to pay attention to exactly what people were (and weren’t) buying, and I had to focus on how to maximize the materials I use, since silver prices had gone up significantly in such a short period of time.” You can find Cameron’s gorgeous jewelry in markets around the area and on her website, cjsseashop.com. “I had my pieces in a few stores until last summer when I decided to pull all of my pieces and focus on my inventory for my shows.
For the summer, I will be at the Kure Beach Market on Tuesdays starting June 21, and at the Topsail Beach Craft Market on Thursdays starting June 23.”

Multi-Use Path Kudos Town of Leland Awarded By NCDOT STORY CONTRIBUTED BY TOWN OF LELAND
C
reating a safe path for pedestrians and bicyclists on a busy road has earned the Town of Leland some high praise from the NC Department of Transportation. The Town of Leland’s Old Fayetteville Road Multi-Use Path and Resurfacing project was recently recognized by the NC Department of Transportation (NCDOT) with the agency’s 2022 Mobi Award. The Old Fayetteville Road Multi-Use Path was one of 12 finalists and proclaimed the winner on May 4. The project won in the small urban category, which recognizes small-to-medium communities or counties with population between 10,000 and 50,000. NCDOT developed the Mobi Awards to raise the profile of multimodal transportation and recognize projects’ positive community impacts on the economy and quality of life. A panel of judges selected winners after scoring projects based on how well they spurred economic development, created jobs, improved public health, or made other unique and significant contributions. The Old Fayetteville Road Multi-Use Path has proved to be an important connector since opening in October 2021. The project was the result of years of effort to develop a safe route for students to walk and bike to school, and a collaboration between the Town of Leland, NCDOT, and the Wilmington Urban Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (WMPO). The WMPO has submitted multiple projects for the Mobi Awards in the past, but this is the first time one has been named a finalist. “Winning this award highlights the importance of this project and what it means for
the area,” Town of Leland Public Services Director Brannon Richards said. “We have taken a very busy street corridor that routinely had people walking along a road with no pedestrian and bicycle access and provided a safe means of transportation for everyone while removing this activity from the roadway.” The one-mile paved multi-use path, separated from traffic, runs along the north side of Old Fayetteville Road from Founders Park to North Brunswick High School. It provides access to educational, recreational, and civic destinations and connects residential areas with the school, Founders Park, Leland Town Hall, Leland Library, and the Brunswick Senior Resource Center. By improving connectivity and increasing transportation options, this project makes accessing community amenities more convenient fNCDOTor residents. The project also included Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant upgrades and drainage improvements along Old Fayetteville Road. The road was widened and resurfaced.

Plant Happiness Brunswick Forest Garden Stroll
STORY BY JAN MORGAN-SWEGLE, PHOTOS CONTRIBUTED
T
here is something magical about flowers. The array of colors, the different scents, the way they brighten every corner of your garden and your mind. They are romance, they are beauty, and they are hearty in their enthusiasm to survive. There is an old Chinese proverb that says, “He who plants a garden plants happiness.” I’m sure if you ask the members of the Brunswick Forest Garden Club if that is true, they would agree. If you would like to see some “plant happiness,” mark your calendars for Thursday, June 16 from 9 am to 1 pm, and enjoy “A Garden Stroll,” at Brunswick Forest on U.S. 17 in Leland.
“The first Brunswick Forest Garden Stroll started in 2018,” said Carol Brauzer, Marketing Coordinator for the event. “Some of our members were involved in similar events in other locations, so we decided to start one here.
Let Us Help You Achieve the Lawn of Your Dreams
It’s a perfect way to share our gardens, our knowledge, and lessons learned with others. The Stroll was intended as an annual event and has been presented in various forms over the years, and temporarily suspended during 2020 due to COVID. The Garden Stroll 2022 is a public event.” This year, the Stroll is made up of six gardens that vary in design and content. Some of the garden themes include memory gardens dedicated to family

members and pets, features and habitats for birds, and a calming Asian-inspired garden. No two gardens are alike. Garden Stroll tickets come in the form of a booklet, which will be stamped at each garden location. The booklet includes addresses, a map, descriptions of each garden and the inspiration behind the design. Gardens can be visited in any order. You can expect to see a wide variety of flowers, bushes and trees. If you have relocated here from a different part of the country, you will be able to see the types of plants and flowers that thrive in this climate. “The Garden Stroll is a perfect opportunity to enjoy nature and share time with friends among beautiful surroundings— plants, hardscapes and water and woodland views,” Carol said. “We take pride in our gardens and love to answer questions. The garden descriptions in the booklet were written by the gardeners and are most helpful. You can gain inspiration to enhance your own surroundings, and remember—a garden is always a work in progress.”
So, what do you have to do to be able to attend this event? It’s simple. First, tickets are $10 per person to visit all six gardens. All tickets should be pre-purchased by sending an email to Carolyn Cook, the Stroll Coordinator, at carolynscook@me.com or Lili Fiore at lilster@live.com. Include the words “Garden Stroll” in the subject line of your email. Additional payment and ticket information will be provided in the email response. Comfortable shoes and a hat are a must, and toss an umbrella in your car because this event will be held rain
or shine. Complimentary water will be available for guests. According to Carol Brauzer, the mission of the Brunswick Forest Garden Club is to encourage the study of hor-
ticulture, practice responsible conservation, and promote environmental consciousness as well as developing friendships, sharing information and creating beautiful gardens. The Stroll is a perfect demonstration of the mission. I watch my husband work in our garden. He is happy when he is out there elbow deep in potting soil and making a bland space into something beautiful. As a person who has a brown thumb and has been known to kill plastic plants, I am looking forward to attending the Stroll and talking to gardeners who bring life and beauty to the area. So, follow me to the Stroll on June 16 from 9 am to 1 pm, and together we will find plant happiness.

T
he Town of Leland will host its second annual Hurricane Expo on Saturday, June 11 from 10 am to 2 pm at the Leland Cultural Arts Center, located at 1212 Magnolia Village Way. This year, the Hurricane Expo will feature workshops on the hurricane season outlook, a question and answer panel with Town staff and public safety officials, and presentations on flooding, insurance, and stormwater management. The goal is to ensure residents are ready should a hurricane impact our region by offering a one stop shop for emergency resources and to answer all their hurricane and storm-related questions.

Roundtable Round Up
able for anyone seeking more updates and information. The site is currently under construction, and will soon feature a new look, updated technology, and another opportunity to keep upto-date on Round Table events, historic facts, and upcoming activities and programs.
Tech Advances Led To A Successful Year STORY AND PHOTOS CONTRIBUTED
T
he Brunswick Civil War Round Table closed out its season celebrating its unprecedented growth over the past year at the 12th anniversary meeting in May, confident that major new innovative plans and programs made the difference. It was a festive occasion as the Round Table had another outstanding audience turnout, acknowledged its dedicated volunteers, and ended the season with 1,090 members, 190 more than the start of the season back in September 2021 when live meetings resumed at Hatch Auditorium on Caswell Beach.
Over those next 10 meetings, including a Civil War Ladies’ Forum on Oct. 23, a series of dramatic changes were implemented to track the organization’s progress, encourage greater Round Table awareness, increase meeting attendance, and encourage new members, all designed to strengthen its reputation as the largest Civil War round table in the country. As meeting attendance grew each month, an online registration system was implemented to help reduce long lines at the registration desk. Members can now simply click on the link at home, enter their email address to register, and print out a ticket to be turned in at a special online registration desk.
A hybrid Zoom format was implemented, allowing members who were not able to attend meetings in person to view meetings live from home in real time simply by accessing a link to the broadcast. This was especially important to many long distance and out-of-state members who wish to attend meetings but can not because of the distance. This innovation allows us to find an important way to meet many members’ needs and lifestyles. From time-to-time members simply can’t make a meeting. No problem. A Brunswick Civil War Round Table Channel is now in place on YouTube. Every program is videotaped and posted on YouTube within 10 days of the presentation. Fourteen videos are currently available, providing another way for members to stay up-to-date and enjoy missed programs. Volunteers are critical to the Round Table’s success. Another innovation was to begin an online volunteer tracking system. This proprietary database system
26 Leland Magazine /June /June 2022/ www.LelandMag.com
allows us to track and maintain contact information on all volunteers and their responsibilities — registration, financial records, tours, the 50/50 Raffle, the Sutler’s Table, the website, the newsletter, the Facebook page, etc. This allows personnel changes and turnovers to take place smoothly and efficiently. Maintaining periodic communications with members is crucial. The newsletter, Call to Arms, is sent to all members and is considered to be one of most creative and thorough of any Civil War newsletter in the country. For non-members and the public, a comprehensive publicity program has been in place since the Round Table began in 2010, announcing news, upcoming speakers and topics. Its success is measured, in part, by attracting new members each month. Since last September, 219 folks have joined. The Round Table’s Facebook page also strongly impacts overall awareness and interest by posting a daily Civil War historical fact, making it a “go to” place for Civil War information in general, and the Round Table’s events and information, specifically. Also, over the years the Round Table’s website has been avail-
Many of the Round Table’s innovations are the result of keeping a pulse on members’ opinions and preferences. To respond, the Round Table began an annual membership survey this past year. And based on the high response rate, it provided valuable input regarding its operations, assessing Civil War presentation topics, ranking guest speakers, and suggesting future tour options. The survey’s value to date has been an inspiration to continue the survey as an important annual assessment of members’ opinions and degree of satisfaction. Based on the success of this past season, plans are already being finalized for the start of the new season beginning on Sept. 6. For more information, to become a member, or to volunteer, please contact president John Butler at Brunswickcwrt@gmail.com or (404) 229-9425.
