A Veteran’s Salute This month we celebrate and thank all our veterans, with special recognition to those vets who continue to serve our community after their military service has ended. One such vet is Mayor Mike Allen of Belville, featured on this month’s cover. Mayor Allen retired from the United States Army as a Command Master Sergeant and continues to serve not only as a mayor, but also as a lieutenant with the Brunswick County Sheriff’s office. The inset photo is Mayor Allen as a Staff Sergeant at Fort Jackson, South Carolina in 1985. Mayor Allen’s Army career saw him serve in the infantry, as a drill instructor and managing logistics for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. He is pictured in front of Belville’s new Veterans Memorial in Riverwalk Park, to be unveiled in a ceremony on Veterans Day. You can read all about the new memorial on page 4 of this month’s issue!

Artist rendering and concept of memorial

“The idea (for a the memorial) came to me when a frequent visitor to the park, who wishes to remain anonymous, brought the idea of having some type of memorial in the park,” said Park Manager Jim Bucher. “We both agreed on a Veterans Memorial for there is not any that I know of on the north side of the county.” Bucher said he knew of the perfect spot for the memorial after cleaning

the park up after Hurricane Florence. Then it was just a matter of figuring out how to fund it.

“After much research on how to get this off the ground, we realized that the selling of engraved bricks would be a win-win way of getting it done,” Bucher said. “The community could be a part of it and the money would help fund it.”

CURRENTS The town wanted to keep the price of bricks affordable to encourage as many people as possible to participate. Belville also offered three levels of sponsorship of the memorial, aside from brick sales. Things went well.

relevancy to a memorial at this location, Bucher said. During World War II, Liberty Ships were constructed at shipyards in Wilmington and were moored along the banks of the river where the park sits today.

“We kicked off our fundraising efforts by offering bricks at our May 5th Founders Day event. Our goal was to sell 200 bricks and get one or two sponsors,” said Bucher. “By July I was already at 200 bricks with three sponsors so I began construction in August.”

While there are no ships on the banks now, the memorial sits on some high ground with a view of the river, Eagle Island and the city of Wilmington beyond. “It gives a great setting for remembrance of loved ones that were in the armed forces,” Bucher said.

Bucher said they have already ordered 314 bricks with several tile replicas as well. The support has allowed Belville to enhance the project and give some more back to the community.

“I think it is a wonderful addition for the park and I am honored, humbled and proud of what it has brought to everyone and to the Riverwalk Park,” Bucher said.

“I was able to add more features and it enabled us to donate to a charity,” he said. “We have chosen Canines for Vets in Wilmington.” The history of the land the Riverwalk Park occupies lends some extra

There is still room for more bricks if you’d like to dedicate one to a loved one who served in the armed forces, the Coast Guard or the Merchant Marine. Bricks can be ordered by visiting the following website: www.polarengraving.com/riverwalkmemorial

New York actress, dancer, educator, author, and storyteller takes center stage STORY BY AMI BROWN

he Brunswick Civil War Round Table brings history to life this month, with a visit from actress Carolyn Evans. At the meeting Nov. 5, Evans will portray Harriet Tubman, who was born a slave but became a legendary hero responsible for freeing hundreds of slaves as conductor of the Underground Railroad during the Civil War.

The meeting will be held at Hatch Auditorium on Caswell Beach. Registration and refreshments begin at 6:15p.m. The featured “histo-drama” presentation begins at 7:00p.m. Everyone is invited to attend this extraordinary, not-to-be-missed program. The audience will witness Harriet Tubman come to life on stage in Ms. Evans’ one-woman show highlighting the only military command in American history in which a woman led the raid! She will guide the audience through Tubman’s life during the Victorian era, including the Civil War, and was part of the Combahee Ferry Raid, Battle of Fort Wagner, draft riots and the heroic Gullah Geechee 2nd South Carolina unit. Tubman was one of the most heroic women in American history, leading slaves to freedom over a decade through the Underground Railroad, a network of people, African American as well as white, offering shelter and aid to escaping slaved from the South. She always carried a rifle because she cautioned slaves that if they were thinking about surrendering or returning, she would shoot them! Because of her bravery and courage, Tubman never lost a passenger, while Southern slaveholders offered $40,000 for her capture, but

they were never successful. “The audience is going to see the Underground Railroad and the continuance of that railroad through her experience in the Civil War,” Evans said. “”I want them to feel her heart and her love for peo-

ple.” She will show Tubman’s strong spiritual side, earning the nickname Moses because of her determination to free as many slaves as possible.

When the Civil War broke out in 1861, Tubman found ways to fight slavery. She was recruited to assist fugitive slaves at Fort Monroe, and worked as a nurse, cook and laundress. She used her knowledge of herbal medicines to help treat sick soldiers and fugitive slaves. In 1863, she became head of an espionage and scout network for the Union Army. She provided crucial intelligence to Union commanders about Confederate Army supply routes and troops, and helped liberate slaves to form black Union regiments. Though just over five feet tall, she was a force to be reckoned with, although it took over three decades for the government to recognize her military contributions and award her financially. In addition, a World War II liberty ship, the SS Harriet Tubman was named after her. And, in 2016, the U.S. Treasury honored her by replacing former President and slave owner Andrew Jackson’s image with hers on the $20 bill. This incredible story about this amazing patriot will be told in a most dramatic way. Carolyn Evens appearing as Harriet Tubman as if she was appearing in person.

Veterans Breakfast

The Leland Cultural Art Center honors Veterans STORY BY AMI BROWN

he Leland Cultural Art Center will host a Veterans’ breakfast on November 11, at 8:30 a.m. until 10:30 a.m. All military Veterans are invited to attend at no cost. They are also encouraged to bring one guest. There will be plenty of delicious food for everyone. The community celebrates and honors the local men and women Veterans and this breakfast is only a small token of the appreciation they so grately deserve.

A LITTLE HISTORY ABOUT VETERANS DAY THAT YOU MAY NOT KNOW...

Veterans Day originated as “Armistice Day” on Nov. 11, 1919, the first anniversary of the end of World War I. Congress passed a resolution in 1926 for an annual observance, and Nov. 11 became a national holiday beginning in 1938. Unlike Memorial Day, Veterans Day pays tribute to all American veterans—living or dead—but especially gives thanks to living veterans who served their country honorably during war or peacetime.

• • • • •

•

VETERANS TODAY

The military men and women who serve and protect the U.S. come from all walks of life; they are parents, children, grandparents, friends, neighbors and coworkers, and are an important part of their communities. Acording to History.com, here are some facts about the veteran population of the United States:

• •

18.2 million living veterans served during at least one war as of 2018. 9 percent of veterans are women. 7 million veterans served during the Vietnam War. 7 million veterans served during the Persian Gulf War. Of the 16 million Americans who served during World War II, about 496,777 were still alive as of 2018. Connecticut was home to the highest percentage of World War II veterans as of 2018 at 7.1 percent. 2 million veterans served during the Korean War. As of 2017, the top three states with the highest percentage of Veterans were Alaska, Maine and Montana, respectively.

Celebrating the Veterans Day Holiday If the Nov. 11 holiday falls on a nonworkday -- Saturday or Sunday -- the holiday is observed by the federal government on Monday (if the holiday falls on Sunday) or Friday (if the holiday falls on Saturday). Federal government closings are established by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management. State and local government closings are determined locally, and non- government businesses can close or remain open as they see fit, regardless of federal, state or local government operation determinations. United States Senate Resolution 143, which was passed on Aug. 4, 2001, designated the week of Nov. 11 through Nov. 17, 2001, as “National Veterans

Awareness Week.” The resolution calls for educational efforts directed at elementary and secondary school students concerning the contributions and sacrifices of veterans.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN VETERANS DAY AND MEMORIAL DAY

Memorial Day honors service members who died in service to their country or as a result of injuries incurred during battle. Deceased veterans are also remembered on Veterans Day but the day is set aside to thank and honor living veterans who served honorably in the military - in wartime or peacetime. Make sure to thank a Veteran the next time you have a chance, and make everyday a celebration of those serviing our country.

HISTORY

American Legion

The Nation’s Largest Veterans’ Group STORY BY KASS FINCHER

s a child, I always enjoyed walking beside my father on the small-town streets of Matthews, NC to hand out the red paper poppies just before Memorial Day. I wasn’t sure why we were doing that, but my father, a veteran of World War II, made the effort seem important as well as fun.

I found out later the symbolism of the poppies. After World War I, perhaps due to the soil enrichment from the war’s rubble, poppies grew everywhere. After the poem “In Flanders Fields” became popular, the red poppy became symbolic of the blood shed during the battles. And in 1920, the poppy became the official flower of the American Legion to memorialize the soldiers who had fought and died during

the war. Now each year members of the American Legion family distribute poppies on the Friday before Memorial Day with a request to the person receiving the flower to make a donation to the medical and financial needs of veterans and active military personnel. The American Legion was founded by Congress in 1919 as a patriotic veterans’

10 Leland Magazine /NOVEMBER 2019 / www.LelandMag.com

organization. Their mission states: “It is the nation’s largest wartime veterans service organization, committed to mentoring youth and sponsorship of wholesome programs in our communities, advocating patriotism and honor, promoting strong national security and continued devotion to our fellow service members and veterans.” Today the Legion is one of the most influential nonprofit groups in the country. Almost two million members participate in

over 13,000 posts worldwide. In Brunswick County there are six posts: Southport, Leland, Oak Island, St. James, Calabash and Shallotte. Many people don’t realize the significant impact the Legion has had on our country’s policies, not only for veterans, but for health and youth organizations as well. Here are just a few of the historic efforts the Legion has advocated that resulted in important social change.

HISTORY 1921: The Legion pushes for creation of the U.S. Veterans Bureau, forerunner of the Veterans Administration. The Legion continues today to lobby for medical, disability and education funding for veterans. 1925: The Legion creates the American Legion Baseball program. Almost 82,000 young people play on Legion teams every year. And most of us don’t know that more than half of Major League baseball players are graduates of this program. 1943: Former national commander Harry W. Colmery writes the first draft of what will later become the “GI Bill of Rights” – considered the Legion’s single greatest legislative achievement. 1944: President Franklin D. Roosevelt signs into law the original GI Bill, or Servicemen’s Readjustment Act. This important law enabled millions of veterans to afford to go to college, get better jobs and buy affordable houses for their families. It had a significant impact on society and the growth of the post-war middle-class economy. 1946: A small organization known as the American Heart Association was awarded a $50,000 grant from the Legion. It begins

nationwide programs to study, prevent and treat heart disease. 1950: Recognizing the importance of research in the field of mental health, the Legion contributes funds to the launch of the National Association for Mental Health. 1954: The American Legion Child Welfare Foundation is formed. Youth organizations today receive over $11 million from the Legion to help fund programs for America’s children. 1982: The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund receives a $1 million grant from the Legion for construction of the wall in Washington. The Legion is the largest single contributor to the project. 1983: The Legion sponsors an independent study on the effects of exposure to Agent Orange on Vietnam War veterans. Congress receives the results in 1989. In 1990, the Legion filed suit against the federal government for not following through. Funding decisions on a myriad of health-related claims are still not completely resolved to this day. 1989: The Legion pushes to elevate the Veterans Administration to Cabinet-level status as the Department of Veterans Af-

fairs (VA), arguing that the voices of veterans deserve the highest level of acknowledgement. 1994: In partnership with the Smithsonian’s Air and Space Museum, the Legion plans to develop an exhibit for the atomic bomber Enola Gay. Amid intense criticism and debate, in 1995 the Legion accepted a “scaled-down exhibit without political commentary” for the bomber. It was purportedly the “greatest controversy in the Smithsonian’s 149-year history.” 2001: The American Legion creates the American Legacy Scholarship Fund for children of military members killed in active duty on or after Sept. 11, 2001. 2009: President Obama signs the Veterans Health Care Budget Reform Act of 2009. The new law guarantees advance funding for veterans’ appropriations, at no less than one year in advance. 2017: After a VA waiting-list scandal a few years earlier, the Department of Veterans Affairs Accountability and Whistleblower Protection Act is passed by Congress in concert with The American Legion. This law gives the VA secretary the authority to terminate the employment of

VA employees who do not hold the standard of the VA’s mission to help veterans. The American Legion worked in concert with Congress, VA and others to create and pass this much needed veteran-centric legislation. 2017: Denise H. Rohan of Wisconsin is elected national commander, the first woman to hold the role in the Legion’s history. Beyond its leadership, women have long played an important role as part of the American Legion family. The American Legion Auxiliary, begun as a support organization, now has over one million members in 10,500 locations. It is the largest women’s patriotic service organization in the world. The work of the American Legion is never done. Whether it’s helping with wounded veterans’ medical expenses, granting scholarships to children of deceased or disabled veterans, or helping with the recovery costs after a natural disaster strikes, there are always needs to be met. These people have given their complete commitment to our society. By donating to the work of the Legion, we can be heroes to our heroes. You can donate to their programs at www.legion.org.

BIZ Q&A

Huge Round Table Local war group preserves history STORY BY KASS FINCHER

ne of the most active historical groups in our area, the Civil War Round Table brings the history of that conflict to life with their monthly speakers. The CWRT was formed ten years ago, and quickly grew in membership. Meeting on the first Tuesday of each month at Hatch Auditorium on the grounds of the Fort Caswell Baptist Assembly, the group provides an interesting program about that period of our history. They also contribute to Civil War historic preservation efforts in our region, donating $60,000 to those causes over the years. Mike Powell, current CWRT president, answered our questions and invited everyone to come out and enjoy learning more about this period of our history.

Tell us ail little about how the RT got started and for how long-We had our first meeting in May of 2010. Our co-founders, Tom O’Donnel and Wally Rueckel, met at a party, and found they had the Civil War in common. By the end of the evening they had determined to start a local Civil War Round Table. Their good decisions, at the start, and the quality of the folks they brought in, got us off to a great start. We hoped for 40-50 attendees at the first meeting, as most CWRT’s have attending, and we had over a hundred. WE meet the first Tuesday of each month, except no meetings in July and August. We meet at Hatch Auditorium, on the grounds of Fort Caswell, on the east end of Oak Island, at the NC Baptist Retreat Assembly. Our annual dues are $25, for the entire family, and we have not had to raise then yet. Hatch Auditorium holds 800 and is a state of the art facility for our purposes. We are very thankful to the NC Baptist Retreat Assembly for appreciating our mission as well as the importance of the history on their grounds. What can I expect if I attend? As you enter the lobby, you will pass a table of computers to allow us to check folks in quickly. We averaged over 400 per month in attendance this year and last, so getting folks through is important. We have coffee and cookies for all. There will be Civil War era music playing. You can try your luck with a 50/50 raffle or you can look for a book at our Sutler’s Table, where we sell books, hats, etc. Several times a year we have a live musical act appear, from 6:00 -7:00pm. They all have a Civil War connec14 Leland Magazine /NOVEMBER 2019 / www.LelandMag.com

tion. And play period music. There are three screens above the raised stage and we use them to run a slide show with our Round Table news and upcoming events from around town and other history related organizations. You have such interesting guest speakers, where do you source them? Our speaker program is the other hat I wear, besides being president. I have run the program for the last 7 years and I worked with local historian, Max Williams, in the early years. Max taught me to look for two qualities in a speaker. One, they must be authoritative. We do not let activists or those with an agenda, other than the study of history, to take the stage. Secondly, they must be a good presenter. No one wants to watch someone read from a paper for 45 minutes. These days, most historians have a power point slide show to augment their talk. Our A/V system allows our audience to get the most out of the presentation. I have been a student of the Civil War for 50 years, so I am very familiar with the authors and historians. I’ve read their books, so I know those that are quality historians. I check YouTube and CSPAN 3 to determine what kind of presenter they are. Also, one feature of the joining of the Round Tables together, is that we can communicate to each other who the great speakers are. The WOW speakers. A major influence on our speaker program is the same reason we have had the success we have. 35%-40% of our 1200 plus members are women. Most ladies are not interested in the “mud and blood” history, the battle histories. So, we vary

BIZ Q&A

l h , f m r o our topics to keep them interested. Medicine, home front, hospitals, etc. These are - all good topics, and being a military histot rian myself, these are topics I may not be

exposed to if not for the Round Table. Tell us about one of the stand out Round Tables of the past. I think the most important Round Table meeting we had was in January of 2011. It was the first time we had Ed Bearss. Ed is a national treasure and his resume is far too large to put here. But, nobody has brought more history to more people than Ed Bearss. We had about 175 members at the time. I had been a fan of Ed’s for decades and not only was it the first time I was able to actually spend time with him, but he doubled our membership in that one evening. Round Tables of the past -- Chicago CWRT, is the oldest. They were formed in the early 1940’s. They are still an active Round Table. As far as I have been able to find out, the largest CWRT, before us, had approx. 600 plus members. This was in Lexington Ky. Round Tables, today, are struggling. Most of those in the big cities, have a difficult time finding a suitable location to meet. Several old and venerable organizations had been forced to

close down. If membership is low, you do not have the money to bring in the best speakers. And, it is all about the speakers. They are not coming for the cookies or the 50/50 raffle. Who are your typical attendees? The typical attendee is between 55-65 years old. We have not been able to generate any interest in the youth, despite our efforts. And this is the biggest problem we face in the future. Kids are not getting the same treatment of our history, in schools, as we did. Controversies and politics have hung a cloud over the Civil War, in today’s society. This is a shame. Only the study of our history allows us to understand our mistakes, as well as our successes. Some want to apply 21st century morality to 19th century characters. Who can pass that test? We have several other programs that help folks. For those interested in genealogy, we provide resources and sources for them to use in their research, we also give them a place to post their family history on our webpage’s ANCESTRY site. For those folks that enjoy visiting the National and State Parks System, we provide introductions to tours and tour guides, besides the

tours that we sponsor. Do I need a membership? If you want to come and just check it out, there is a $10 guest fee. If you decide to become a member, your $10 is applied to the annual $25 fee, which includes your entire family. No reservations are needed. How do I find out about when the meeting are going to be held? Our meetings are well covered in the Southport, State Port Pilot, the week of the meeting. We have rack cards in various locations with our speaker schedule for the year and contact information. We also have a web page, that is simply our name, brunswickcivilwarroundtable.com, and we are on Facebook. We try to keep our membership up to date on our meetings and other activities, such as field trips, symposiums, etc We work closely with like minded, historical organizations to advertise each other’s upcoming events. We are all going after the same audience, and it is not a competition, so we help each other. What is the mission of the Round Table? The mission of the BCWRT is twofold. We want to educate our membership on the Civil War. We also are very active in preserving our Civil War history. In our ten years we have donated over $60,000 to historic preservation. We do not donate to projects that are buying land to preserve battlefields or other historic sites. There are other organizations that are much better suited for that most valuable work. We work locally, on project that we can have an immediate impact on. These local projects will not get done if the local organizations do not get involved. Not just the preserving artifacts, though we do that, but bringing interpretation to our local Civil War sites. Markers and plaques are placed to tell the story of the site you are visiting. They tell you what you are looking at. There are very few, Civil War sites, in eastern NC, that we have not had

an impact on. We have taken on several projects that had no interpretation at all, before our involvement. Do I need to be a Civil War enthusiast to enjoy the Round Table? You absolutely do not have to be a Civil War historian or enthusiast to enjoy the evening. The majority of our members just enjoy hearing a good speaker on interesting topics. As I have said, we try to make it as much a social evening as anything else. We use live music, refreshments, book sales, and raffles, to give a little something for everybody. And, if you learn something along the way, we have fulfilled our mission. At $2.50 an evening, for your entire family, it is a pretty good deal. Our philosophy is that whether there are 50 or 500 in the audience, we will put on the best event that we can. Tell us something unique about the Round Table. I have already mentioned what makes us different from the others and that is our female membership. 40% of our board of directors is female, which is about the same as the membership. About three years ago, one of our directors, local historian and author, Charen Fink, began a “Ladies Forum”. This is a separate meeting, 4 times a year, just for the ladies, no men allowed. Their topics are usually dealing with the women in the war and they also provide refreshments, based on Civil War and 19th century recipes. Those ladies that have appropriate costumes, wear them. I hear they have a really good time. We have tried to embed our organization into the community. When hurricanes or other disasters strike, we are there to help, whether with money or volunteers. If a tree limb falls on the graves of Buffalo Soldiers, and other veterans, they call us and we get it removed. We have liaison board members with the Civil War related sites, such as Fort Fisher and Fort Anderson and the NC Maritime Museum.

ART BEAT Bright Happy Art Willie Marlowe’s art will delight

his powerful modern art is definitely a fun exhibition that you would not want to miss this month. The Leland Cultural Art Center is located at 1212 Magnolia Village Way. The reception is on November 14, 6:00p.m. to 8:00p.m.

About the Artist: Willie Marlowe is as sweet and genteel a Southern woman as you will ever meet. Her modesty belies the cosmopolitan, international artist that she has been for decades. Marlowe, who was born in Whiteville, NC and trained under the legendary Francis Speight at East Carolina University, rolled very far from the tree. Marlowe, who now lives in Albany, New York, has become recognized internationally, and she has been invited to show in Ireland, Canada, England, Croatia, and Germany, to name

but a few. Willie Marlowe’s brightly colored, biomorphic works are particulary appreciated in Venice and she has returned there for several years to paint. Marlowe’s pieces from that city are her most inspired, and it is the great pleasure of Gallery C to present this collection of her Venetian paintings. Artist Bio: Born in 1943 in Whiteville, North Carolina, Willie Marlowe received her B.S. from East Carolina University in Greenville, North Carolina, followed by an M.F.A.

from the University of Idaho in Moscow, Idaho. During the summer of 1964, while still an undergraduate, she continued her art studies at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia under the tutelage of renowned artists Francis Speight and Roswell Weidner. Willie Marlowe is best known for her small, intimate acrylic and mixed media work on paper. These luminous, brilliantly colored pieces are reminiscent of looking through a microscope at an entirely new, miniscule living world. Marlowe makes playful use of geometric and organic shapes and symbols, all of which reflect her interest in botany, marine life, Celtic culture and the archaeology of Europe, the Yucaton and Russia. She was an artist-in-residence in Barbados, West Indies; Cortona, Italy; Wexford, Ireland; the Millay Colony for the Arts in Austerlitz, New York; and at the Cill Rialaig Project in Ballinskelligs, Ireland. These extensive travels and experiences have each added to her unique and growing iconography. For over twenty years, Marlowe has taught painting and drawing classes at the Sage College of Albany in Albany, New

York. She also taught watercolor classes in two of the Sage Colleges’ international studies programs, as well as in Scotland and Ireland. Willie Marlowe has an extensive national and international exhibition record, including a 10-year Retrospective Exhibition at the Wexford Arts Center in Wexford, Ireland. Her work can be found in numerous museum, corporate and private collections throughout the United States including those of The Mint Museum of Art, Charlotte; The Boston Public Library; and The National Museum of Women in the Arts, Washington, DC. - Information sourced from Artist’s Website.

SHOWCASE Listen Up Brunswick Fall Concert

Nikki Talley and Jason Sharp light up the stage in November STORY BY AMI BROWN

f you haven’t been to the Odell Williamson Theatre, it’s about time. The fall concert set for November 16 is your last chance until 2020. This duo, Nikki Talley and Jason Sharp, will blow the roof off with their beautiful vocals and eclectic instrumentals. You must get your tickets now, as most of the concerts do sell out. Consider season tickets and you will never miss a show.

Expires 11/30/19

Nikki Talley and Jason Sharp November 16, 2019 After 4 1/2 years of hard touring, 150200 shows annually, Nikki continues traveling on, bringing her gorgeous voice & thoughtful songs all across the nation. Hailing from the mountains of western North Carolina, it’s only fitting that her songs are as eclectic as the state that boasts the mountains and the sea. Along with her guitar & clawhammer style banjo, her musical partner & husband Jason Sharp adds resonant lush guitar tones as well as harmonies to round out the duo’s sound. Out From The Harbor is a collection

of 10 songs recorded at Asheville’s Echo Mountain Studio. With only a few other additions to the record, including Michael Ashworth (Steep Canyon Rangers) on bass & tasteful percussion, the stage is set for Nikki’s soulful vocal and storied lyrics while Jason Sharp’s guitar soars alongside. As expected Out From The Harbor often travels through the element of water be it the sea, rivers, rain or tears. Nikki’s silken voice is on full display. The album opens with “Rainy Day”, a song about how sometimes you need a rainy day and that ‘all the sunshine in California couldn’t make this go away’. “Let’s Go Out On The Water” recalls a day of fishing with friends, a pastime

SHOWCASE Nikki & Jason enjoy while making musical tracks throughout the U.S. Whether it’s from the hills of haunted Appalachia, the seashores of the Gulf or the dry dusty heat of the desert, each song takes the listener along on the journeys that sometimes mirror the everyday adventures of the musical couple especially on the track “Travelin On” with lyrics “Travelin on just like we were kids on a merry go round and round / We’re somewhere in the middle of chasing our tails and chasing our dreams down”. You can find Nikki & Jason chasing their dreams down in their van, Blue Bell all across the country playing festivals, venues & house concerts. Listen Up Brunswick County is a non-profit group formed to provide noteworthy live musical experiences. We offer new or established singer/songwriters performing original music in a variety of genres including folk, R & B, Bluegrass, Country and Blues.

FITNESS Lower Back Pain Time for relief

STORY BY BRIAN TULLY, MS, EP-CR

hronic low back pain can leave you tired, depressed, frustrated, irritable, and wishing that it would just somehow go away. Unfortunately many of us know that wishes don’t usually solve a whole lot of things; although it would certainly be nice if it did, especially that unrelenting back pain. When the wishes don’t seem to work and we have had enough, it seems the only options you are left with are drugs or surgery. Neither sounds too inviting when you consider the potential risk of drug dependency or surgical complications. I am about to tell you of another option, that may finally be the solution you have been looking for; without the surgery or drugs. When the infamous “my back went out” moment occurs, everything else in our life gets put on hold. It demands your attention, right then and there. Most of the time you won’t even know what caused it. I can

assure you it wasn’t that excessively heavy pen you just picked up off the floor. In all likelihood, it was an accumulation of many factors. Usually it is caused by a lack of muscular flexibility from an old injury or the

inability to move a muscle or joint through the full range of motion. Too much sitting is another common contributing factor causing some muscles to over lengthen and others to shorten. Additionally, poor nutrition and hydration, mental or physical stress, or unaccustomed muscle use can all create muscle knots (called trigger points) that can lead to sudden, excruciating back

pain. Most of the time the culprit of the back problem can be traced back to just a few dysfunctional muscles throwing everything out of whack. Often we ignore everyday small aches and pains and minor losses of muscular function, but many times those are the little warning signals the body is sending us. If left untreated, the

She has a constant burning pain in her low back and upper glutes and has two to three episodes per year when her pain is so severe that she can’t stand up and has to crawl to the bathroom.

Historic Plane Rides

Fly in the first commercial plane from1929 STORY BY AMI BROWN

he local chapter of the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA), a 501-C-3 organization dedicated to promoting all aspects of aviation. In November they will be hosting a 4-1/2 day visit of one of the most iconic airplanes in aviation history, a 1929 Ford Tri-Motor airliner. This aircraft, known as the “Tin Goose”, pioneered airline travel as we know it today. Number 146 of 199 built and one of only eight still flying today, this fully restored airplane tours the country allowing folks to take a short flight back in time to experience what flight was like at the dawn of commercial aviation.

Recall the energy, passion, and excitement of the Roaring ’20s by flying aboard the Ford Tri-Motor. Known as the first luxury airliner, the Ford Tri-Motor redefined world travel and marked the beginning of commercial flight. Our tour stops are hosted by volunteers who are passionate about

sharing the Ford Tri-Motor’s stories. We invite families to visit and learn all about our aircraft and our organization. Viewing the aircraft is free, so be sure to bring your camera along. Revenues from the Ford Tri-Motor tour help cover maintenance and operations

costs for the aircraft and aid our ambition to keep the “Tin Goose” flying for many years to come. For any questions, or to reserve a full flight, please contact 877-952-5395. The aircraft will be conducting short revenue flights at the Cape Fear Regional

hough many perceive it to be a recent trend, the farm-to-table movement to promote eating locally has roots going back over 100 years ago, not just as a healthy lifestyle but as a patriotic necessity. During WWI or “the Great War,” Woodrow Wilson’s administration created the United States Food Administration to encourage citizens to preserve food in support of the boys fighting overseas.

The effort was led by future president Herbert Hoover, known as the “food dictator.” He made no bones about how important this commitment was, stating that “food will win

the war.” The concern was that the food being transported across the country by rail to our citizens at home was taking away from the railroads’ capacity for food, supplies, coal and

Downtown Southport, Inc. (DSI) is oﬀering free shredding services for the community as part of the City’s “Day of Service.” Par�cipants must limit their paper goods to 3 boxes or 3 bags (copy paper size or kitchen bags). Material must be dry. Shred360 is a cer�ﬁed shredding service. Please enter via East Moore Street onto Rhe� Street and look for direc�onal signage. Remain in your vehicles un�l you reach the shredding truck. 30 Leland Magazine /NOVEMBER 2019 / www.LelandMag.com

other cargo desperately needed by the soldiers overseas. People were encouraged to do “meatless Mondays” and “wheatless Wednesdays.” Canning demonstrations were held to encourage food preservation, not waste. One person who took the efforts to heart was Mary Elizabeth Evans, who owned a candy business in New York City and tearooms in Boston and New-

port. “In the early days of the war,” she wrote, “I came away from a talk with Mr. Hoover and Dr. Taylor of the Department of Agriculture, convinced that unless I could make candy without sugar and cake and bread without wheat I was daily depriving our suffering allies and our soldiers of food they sorely needed. Soldiers do not fight well if underfed, nor have they good morale if their families at home are hungry.” She compiled recipes for sugarless candies and desserts, wheatless breads and cakes and many options for meatless entrees, eventually publishing a book in 1918 entitled “War Time Recipes.” At the time, lobster and oysters were plentiful and made great meatless alternatives. She also produced recipes like broiled mackerel with white grapes, pigeon pie, smothered chicken with boiled chestnuts, roast goose with sage and fat, you require less meat fat … which we must release for use overseas.” Her recipes demonstrated her commitment to the war effort’s food conservation strategy, and she promised to support this “as long as the wheat and beet sugar fields of Europe remain battle fields and men who might be

KITCHEN raising crops and animals for food, are soldiers.” It was in both world wars that patriots at home supported those fighting overseas. Women took the lead in adapting their food consumption and recipes in WWI and later famously joined the assembly lines in WWII to manufacture the bombers our airmen needed to win that war. On this Veterans’ Day, we should thank not only those who serve with their lives, but also those who support those efforts in their daily actions back home. Taking a page from those who came before us, despite our country’s vast and plentiful resources, we can always do more to conserve what we have and preserve our way of life for those who come after us.

Q: Social Media can be overwhelming; what metrics do I really need to pay attention to?

—Barb G. from Oak Island

A: Knowing the effectiveness of your social media marketing efforts involves more than just counting your Facebook business page “likes” and Twitter followers. What really matters is how well your content is attracting and keeping the interest of viewers; getting shared; generating leads and making sales. And, you must ensure your social media marketing is promoting your company’s overall goals and vision at the same time. In his book, “500 Social Media Marketing Tips,” social media consultant Andrew Macarthy recommends asking yourself - do you want to: • Increase brand awareness? By how much? • Gain more subscribers to your e-newsletter? • How many more? • Increase sales revenue from your website’s online store? By what percentage? • In what amount of time do you aim to achieve your goals? For example, increase Facebook

page reach by 10 percent in three months; get 20 new email subscribers each month until the end of the year; or increase online sales by 12 percent in six months. Some of the many metrics that might help you assess the success of your efforts include: • Mentions and tags of your brand online • Click-throughs on your links • Engagement with your content (comments, shares, etc.) • Conversions on paid ads • Clicks on call to action buttons (such as “learn more”, “buy now”, etc.) Aside from Google Analytics and the insights tools within individual social media platforms, there are resources that provide metrics for multiple platforms in one place. A few you might want to explore include Hootsuite, BuzzSumo, and Buffer.
