CURRENTS Letter from the Mayor Gearing up for the big 3 0
A
s we get ready to celebrate the Town’s 30th birthday at our Founders Day event on Sept. 14, I can’t help but reflect on Leland’s evolution from a sleepy Wilmington-adjacent speck to its rightful place on the map as a prime destination to visit, relocate or open up shop.
To say we’ve grown is an understatement (we’re now the second fastest-growing municipality in the state!). But growth with vision is a good thing, and that’s what we’ve always had here in Leland. Russell Baldwin, our Town’s very first mayor, often said that trying to stop growth was like trying to hold back the tides. He knew, even back then, that Leland’s proximity to Wilmington, area beaches and major roadways positioned it as a hidden gem that wouldn’t stay hidden for very long. If growth was inevitable, he believed, why not guide it instead of fight it? Why not plan ahead rather than look back with regret?
I still see Baldwin’s mark on our Town today, as we carefully but progressively plan our present and our future – an influx of restaurants and shops, state-of-the-art medical facilities, a pedestrian-friendly “downtown” district along Village Road. Our housing options attract people of all ages and we’ve gotten the attention of major chains like Starbucks and Chick-fil-A, both of which are set to open within the next several months. Perhaps the most lasting mark of Baldwin and his fellow founders, however, has been a focus on maintaining Leland’s roots. As new buildings rise up, we stay ground-

Leland’s Founders Remember The town’s earliest memories retold STORY BY JEFF STITES
T
his month the Town of Leland celebrates its 30th birthday with a Founders Day festival honoring those who helped turn what was just a post office 120 years ago into a thriving, growing community.
For over 120 years you’ve been able to mail a letter to Leland, but at the time of its founding the area we now know as Leland was called, locally, Woodburn. It was thanks to Leland’s first mayor, Russell Baldwin, that the town retained the name attached to the post office. Fellow Leland Founder, Lynette Carlisle, remembers that Mayor Baldwin argued to the original council that with different names, someday either the town or post office would need to change names. And so Leland it has been these last thirty years. Carlisle attributes much of Leland’s success to Baldwin’s belief that growth had to be managed, not fought, that trying to stop growth was like trying to stop the tide from rising. “I think, in general, the most outstanding thing to me is seeing Mr. Baldwin’s vision still being carried forward today,” she said. “Mr. Baldwin had a big vision for this town,
and he sold me on it.” Another founder and member of that original council Anthony Morris loves some of the things that haven’t changed over three decades, like a sense of community among residents. “I like that our neighborhoods haven’t changed that much, in the sense that we still have good neighbors,” he said. Brenda Bozeman, current mayor of Leland, was active in the town’s early years as well and mirrors Morris’ sentiments. “Everyone still works together, and you can see that even in the newer areas of town. Leland still has that hometown feel,” she said. Leland is built on a foundation of hard work and foresight by the Founders. Carlisle said the first council did not receive any pay or stipend. It’s hard to imagine how many volunteer hours the core founding group racked up during those early years. One result of that work is the Leland Library. Mayor Baldwin, a former NASA employee who worked on the first moon landing, was adamant that towns should have their own library branches and worked from the outset to secure property on which one could be built. As recent achievements go, both Carlisle and Morris would be eager to show off the new Town Hall to new visitors to town. Mayor Bozeman points to Westgate Park as one of present-day Lelands treasures. “I tell people, if you are having a bad day and just need to get your thoughts together,
go take a walk back there. It’s the perfect place to go because it’s just so beautiful and peaceful,” she said. Asked about hopes for Leland’s future, the Founders agreed that the sense of community needs to be maintained. “I just hope,” Carlisle said, “ in general, for things to be well-managed.” “I hope that the tight-knit, neighborly feel is maintained,” added Morris. Special thanks to Leland Communications Officer Hillary Snow for her assistance in this article.

Feast of Pirates
Arrrgh Belville Riverwalk, there be pirates STORY BY LISA STITES
A
vast! All o’ ye scallywags had best be ready fer th’ pirate invasion comin’ soon. Aaaarrrgghhh!
The Feast of the Pirates lands at the Brunswick Riverwalk Park in Belville on Saturday, Sept. 28. The Feast was cancelled last year after Hurricane Florence damaged the Park. So don your best pirate outfit, dust off your eye patch and go mingle as pirates once again appear at the river this fall. “Everyone is excited to have the festival return this year,” said Stephanie Fornes, President of the Wilmington Harbor Enhancement Trust Inc. (WHET). The Trust was created by local businesses and boater enthusiasts in 1993 with a mission to promote development and docking along the Cape Fear River in downtown Wilmington, Fornes explained. The group’s focus now includes bringing awareness, activi-
ties and history to the Cape Fear River and the counties that surround it. “Pirates are history in this region,” Fornes said. “We also work with tall ships and coordinate them visiting the area. This brings in a lot of out-of-town people to the area, which promotes the local economy.” And it’s fun to play pirate. WHET first started doing pirate festivities in 2005 during Wilmington’s Riverfest. In 2015, they decided to run their own festival, with a first appearance in Brunswick County coming in 2017; Fornes said the attendance that year was “overwhelming.” “The park is beautiful, and we are happy to be able to provide a festival in Belville that allows the Brunswick County communities to enjoy a fun day without worrying
about crossing the river,” Fornes said. “The Belville Town Council is wonderful to work with as well.” The Feast runs from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and includes all sorts of pirate shenanigans. The Shadow Players Stage and Combat group will perform throughout the day, and there will be encampments,
living history areas, food trucks, mermaids, craft vendors, children’s games, and more. Belville Mayor Mike Allen is scheduled to fire the canon at 10 a.m., and firings will repeat every two hours (12 noon, 2, 4 and 6 p.m.). For more information on the Feast of the Pirates, check the Facebook page for the festival or visit www.feastofthepirates.com.

Bouncing Back
Art show inspired by Hurricane Florence STORY CONTRIBUTED BY HEATHER DIVOKY
W
ilmington artist Heather Divoky will hold her next solo exhibition, ‘Bounce Back: A Visual Narrative of Hurricane Florence’ at the Leland Cultural Arts Center from September 1st through the 27th. A free reception will be held on September 12, from 6 to 8 p.m.
Divoky's first hand experience of going through Hurricane Florence informs her new body of work, which explores themes of risk assessment, natural disaster, climate change, resources, and the ability for communities to heal from such storms, as well as prepare for future events. Divoky will use illustration, digital media, painting, and wire sculpture to explore these themes, with many of the work using material found after the storm. Divoky was inspired by several perspectives of others who also went through the storm. In particular, Divoky will have two pieces responding to Working Narratives' podcast, 'Storm Stories,' produced by Laura Bratton. 'This is my most important work to date,' Divoky says. 'Responding to something so personal is important, and this show is a culmination of several months
of research, collaboration, and, ultimately healing through what can only be seen as a traumatic event, not just for myself, but also for a community as a whole.' This will be Heather's second solo show as a full-time artist. For further information on the artist, please visit her website at www.heatherdivoky.com.

The kitchen design, custom cabinet and countertop installer provides in-house services ranging from a full kitchen remodel to a simple backsplash installation. Known for being able to completely revamp a kitchen in a mere two to three weeks, quality is still job one..
TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW KITCHEN MAN GOT STARTED...
Owner Chris Dabideen and his wife Amanda opened the business three years ago, after spending twenty years in the business in the Northeast, building custom kitchens in The Hamptons, NY. They specialize in custom-fitting granite and marble countertops and keep a wide selection of stone slabs on-hand for customer selection at their Winnabow showroom.
WHAT SETS YOU APART FROM ALL THE OTHER KITCHEN DESIGNERS?
“Everything we do is in-house, as we like to take ownership for the entire job
from start to finish,” says Dabideen. “My team takes pride in making your kitchen dreams come true. We’re a family-owned and operated business, and it’s important to us to treat our customers like members of the family.”
SO WHAT ALL IS INVOLVED IN THE PROCESS OF A KITCHEN OR BATH MAKEOVER?
To begin, The Kitchen Man installers visit a client’s house, inspect the space and discuss options with the homeowner.
“Our designers take measurements and talk to you about your needs and color preferences. We recommend materials that will suit your lifestyle, depending on how much maintenance you’re prepared to do on your countertops,” says Dabideen.
DO YOU HAVE STANDARD OR IN-STOCK COUNTERTOPS? OR IS EVERYTHING CUSTOM?
All countertops are custom-cut to fit precisely within the client’s space. The Kitchen Man is committed to delivering each customer’s vision, on time and on budget.

CHEERS Just Can It!
The delicious options of canned wines. STORY BY JEFFREY STITES
I
’ve gone all-in lately on the idea of canned beer being just as good, if not better, than bottled beer. This month I’m taking it a step farther and talking about canned wine.
Yes. Canned wine. It’s great. Trust me on this. I understand that there is more reluctance, more suspicion, of wine in a can than beer. It’s relatively new and wine has a lot of tradition wrapped up in the entire experience. I love tradition, really I do, but sometimes it can hold us back in ways that aren’t at all helpful.
Let us create your Custom Grazing Table for any occasion!

The glass bottle stopped with a natural cork is the tradition, and there isn’t a thing wrong with that. But it can, and has been, improved upon. Artificial corks work just as well and don’t ever dry out. Heck, even screw tops are perfectly reliable and do the cork’s job just as well. Cans, though, are a stretch. We’re leaving the glass behind in favor of aluminum. People fear the taste will be affected, just as they do with canned craft beers. But Bill Coors solved that problem decades ago. Cans today do not impart any flavor to the liquid inside. That’s not to say a wine from a can won’t ever taste metallic. Some cheap reds taste that way, but they taste like that from a glass bottle as well. Just buy decent wine and you’ll be fine. Cans are air-tight and light-proof. They are easily portable and chill quickly. They can be recycled much more cheaply and easily than glass as well. And you can take them to the beach, on the boat or anywhere. It’s time to get over your hang-ups and at least give wine in a can a try. Now, a twelve ounce can is about two and half glasses of wine, so understand that before you think of them as “single-serve” containers. Or, hey, that might be a single serving for you, I’m not judging, just making you aware. Canned wine is sold by the single can, mostly. Expect to pay from $6-10 for a can, which is reasonable given each can is about a half bottle. I was a savvy shopper and found three to try for you that were on sale for anywhere from $2.89 to $5.39 each. Here are my findings:
16 Leland Magazine /SEPTEMBER 2019 / www.LelandMag.com
CRAFTERS UNION VINTAGE 2017 DARING AND ELEGANT RED BLEND Crafters Union has been canning at least some of their wine since 2014, so they know what they’re doing. Yes, wine snobs, I have a red blend, deal with it. It’s actually very tasty. It’s deep, dark red and not sweet at all, but without the tannins that make me reach for the Tums. I’m loving this, so this can is going to be one single serving. CRAFTERS UNION VINTAGE 2017 GRACE AND DELICACY ROSE’ Yes, it’s another Crafters Union. They were on BOGO, ok? I’m not much of a rose’ guy, but they are all the rage right now, so I thought I’d give the style another try. I’m really glad I did. I’m sure it helps that I’m eating a chicken
rice casserole while I drink this, but it’s tasting wonderful. There is no metallic aftertaste at all, and it wasn’t a matter of it being killed by the red’s stronger flavors. This is light and refreshing, but not too sweet. Highly recommended.
CUPCAKE VINEYARDS SAUVIGNON BLANC The previous wines were products of California, so I wanted to get a little international flavor into the mix. Cupcake hails from the island nation of New Zealand, home of many fine wines. This sauvignon blanc doesn’t disappoint one bit. It’s dry and refreshing and yet another wine that argues for the one-can-one-serving idea. I can see enjoying this on the beach on a hot summer day, but for now I’ll enjoy it inside on a hot, stormy August night. Cheers!

COMMUNITY Get Involved & Mentor MPLB supports local youth
STORY CONTRIBUTED BY ERIC MENS, PRES KIWANIS CLUB OF NORTH BRUNSWICK
M
en in Philanthropy & Leadership of Brunswick (MPLB) is an organization of philanthropic-minded men organized to provide mentorship and financial scholarship support to young men in Brunswick County. MPLB works in complement to Brunswick Community College’s (BCC) Women in Philanthropy & Leadership Brunswick (WPLB). Both MPLB and WPLB work under the auspices of the Foundation of Brunswick Community College. The Foundation, established in 1982, is a charitable organization 501(c)(3) instituted to enhance the mission of Brunswick Community College by serving as a vital resource for the solicitation and acceptance of all gifts. Members of each organization make
philanthropic investments in our next generation of leaders by engaging in volunteer opportunities and contributing an annual membership donation of $100. Volunteers serve as mentors for middle school students, nursing students at BCC, and the BCC Foundation Student Ambassadors. Membership donations help fund scholarships for BCC students. The Annual Membership meeting will be on Thursday, September 5th at 9a.m. in the space formerly known as the “Firebird
Café” on BCC’s Bolivia Campus (Building A). The 2019-2020 scholarship recipients will be recognized and will present speeches at the meeting, so it’s a special time to learn more about the students’ experiences. The meeting is also a great time to learn about opportunities available through MPLB or WPLB for mentorship of both middle school and Brunswick Community College students. For more
information on how you can get involved with the Foundation, contact Elizabeth Wassum, Executive Director, Brunswick Community College Foundation at (910) 755-6530 or via email at wassume@brunswickcc.edu.

FITNESS time before excessively challenging the same muscles again. The real progress is made between the workouts, not during. A good way to check if you are allowing for adequate recovery is to look at your workout tracking discussed earlier in the article. The next time you perform your workout, check that you are able to meet or exceed your last performance. If the answer is no, you may not have allowed your body the appropriate recovery needed. Remember a good workout regimen is meant to build you up and improve your life, not increase pain or decrease functionality. Consideration and implementation of each of the above elements will greatly improve your chances of getting the most from your workout program. If you have additional questions regarding this month’s article or have a topic you would like to see covered in future articles, please reach out to me via email.

Making it Work
Essential Elements of Workout Success STORY BY BRIAN TULLY, MS, EP-C
A
workout should be focused on making you stronger, relieving aches and pains, and in general helping you to move and feel better all day long. Many times in an effort to achieve this we find ourselves with more aches and pains than we started with, or even worse…injured. But this doesn’t have to be the case. Here are the elements I recommend that you include in your programming to ensure your workout improves your health rather than hinder it.
PROGRESSION OR REGRESSION
When starting out, begin with the easiest version of a movement and gradually progress as the challenge diminishes. At first you may progress quite quickly, but don’t rush it. Allow your body the time to adapt and get proficient at engaging the correct muscles. Just as important as knowing when to progress an exercise, you should know it is also ok to regress the exercise if the body is not able to keep up with the demand without compensating (cheating) to complete the movement. Be sure to track your progress during each workout, so you don’t end up doing the same exercise, with the same number of reps, and the same amount of weight for too long. When you can repeatedly meet your goal counts with ease for a specific exercise, this is when to increase the challenge to ensure you keep moving towards your goals. If you have already reached your goals, and you love the exercise you are doing, you can simply maintain your program…as long as it is meeting all the other criteria outlined below.
BALANCED TRAINING
While being able to stand up without feeling unstable is important…this is not the kind of balance I am specifically referring to here. What I am talking about is balance within your body’s joints and musculature. Your workout program should work all planes of motion; front to back, side to side, and rotational. Too often this aspect is neglected, causing imbalances of the musculature around the joint, forcing the
body to have to compensate to function from a bad position. This compensation will ultimately lead to injury.
IDENTIFYING IMBALANCES
While it is important for your workout to address all aspects of movement; it is also important to understand where your current imbalances exist. By performing self assessment tests or working with a professional, you can identify the areas of your body that are weak or under-active needing engagement and strengthening; as well as the areas of the body that are tight or over-active needing stretching or a proper recruitment pattern. This is how you make the workout more specific to you and your individual needs. After identifying these areas, you can ensure your workout will not aggravate these imbalances further, but even better, can actually improve these imbalances. Removing or lessening these imbalances will allow you to move more efficiently and with greater ease.
WARM-UP & COOL-DOWN
While walking on the treadmill for 5 minutes may begin to warm up your core temperature, it really doesn’t do much to warm up the joints and muscles about to be worked. You should always consider the workout about to happen and your personal imbalances. A good warm-up will begin to engage the muscles and mobilize the joints about to be worked. In the same fashion, your cool-down should begin to flush the blood back out of the muscles worked to allow fresh restorative blood to flow back in. With the muscles still warm from the workout, the cool-down is also a great time to work on stretching to increase range of motion in your overactive (tight) muscles.

FORM & EXECUTION
To get the most out of each exercise it is important to understand the purpose of the exercise and how is it helping your particular needs. Don’t just include an exercise you saw on YouTube or Instagram because it looked cool, or because you want to look like the person performing the exercise. To ensure the proper execution, you should understand what muscles are being engaged to execute the movement; know where you should feel it and equally important, where not to feel it. Listen to your body during the exercise, you want to challenge the appropriate muscles not hurt the joint. If you are feeling pain in a joint, most likely your form is off or you need to select a different exercise for your specific needs.
RECOVERY
Last but not least, the time spent recovering from your workout is when the body adapts. Without the necessary recovery time to get stronger, the body will likely keep getting further broken down. To allow this recovery and strengthening to occur you need to get quality sleep, the necessary nutritional building blocks, proper hydration, and enough recovery

HISTORY Old School Style
A History Lesson on Public Education STORY BY KASS FINCHER
W
hat we take for granted today as public education in this country had its beginnings in the original thirteen colonies. Over the next several centuries, the goals in educating our children changed and evolved.
These are eleven facts cited by americanboard.org, illuminating the history of American public education. 1. The first schools in the 13 colonies opened in the 17th century. The Boston Latin School was the first public school opened in the United States, in 1635. To this day, it remains the nation’s oldest public school.
2. Early public schools in the United States did not focus on academics like math or reading. Instead they taught the virtues of family, religion, and community. 3. Girls were usually taught how to read but not how to write in early America. 4. By the mid-19th century, academ-

Q: My company has taken on some big projects lately and we’re struggling to effectively manage them. Can you help?
A: Here are 6 items to focus on whenever embarking on any new project.
—Ronald P. from Southport • Define your goal and get buy-in from all project team members. As you do this, you will want to determine each team member’s role and responsibilities. You should also consider how the project will affect your company and how you’ll measure the project’s impact. • Determine the project deliverables. What key tasks do team members need to accomplish to move the project along the path to completion? You’ll also need to identify which deliverables depend on other deliverables, so you can establish a timeline that puts tasks in a logical order. • List the resources you will need. Assess what you will need regarding budget, person-hours and tools to complete the project. • Set a timeline and identify milestones to mark your progress.
In your timeline, identify interim goals (“milestones”) that can serve as major landmarks along the way. As the project progresses, your ability to reach milestones will help you know if you’ll need to adjust your scope, budget or expectations. Milestones also help boost morale as they help project team members see the progress they’ve made. • Define the collaborative process. Determine how often your team members will meet as a group to report their progress and share any challenges that might prevent them from fulfilling their deadlines. • Select a tool to help you stay organized and keep all project documentation in a single place accessible to all team members. A variety of online tools exist that can help you manage projects, including Trello, Evernote, Asana, Dropbox, and Google Drive.

tion Era after the American Civil War. 7. Common schools emerged in the 18th century. These schools educated students of all ages in one room with one teacher. Students did not attend these schools for free. Parents paid tuition, provided housing for the schoolteacher, or contributed other commodities in exchange for their children being allowed to attend the school.
11. In 2001, the United States entered its current era of education accountability/reform with the institution of the No Child Left Behind law. In 2015, the Every Student Succeeds Act replaced No Child Left Behind. We know our public school system is not perfect; differences still exist that enable some students to succeed more easily than others. However, we should all thank the teachers every day who strive to help our children reach their full potential and grow up to be happy and productive adults.
8. By 1900, 31 states had compulsory school attendance for students from ages 8-14. By 1918, every state required students to complete elementary school.

SAVOR The Perfect Pizza & More
Pizzetta’s Pizzeria offers traditional Italian choices STORY BY KASS FINCHER
O
wners and cousins Vito Lucchesi and Sal Lucido opened the Wilmington Pizzetta’s Pizzeria in 2010, bringing their Italian heritage and family recipes to the community. In 2012, they opened the second location at Brunswick Forest in Leland.
The menu is large and varied, with much more than pizza. Antipasti include calamari, fried zucchini and the popular garlic knots, with six for $2.50. If you want to share something larger with a friend, you should try the Antipasto de Casa, with romaine, sopressata, fresh mozzarella, roasted red peppers, artichokes, olives, tomatoes and red onions with pesto vinaigrette. Standard pasta offerings are made special with a selection of interesting sauces. There’s the traditional tomato, marinara, alfredo and Bolognese sauces but there’s also a special vodka sauce – sautéed shallots, cream and tomato sauce with a splash of vodka! Seafood specialty pastas include lobster ravioli and linguini pescatore – the latter with shrimp, clams, mussels and plum tomatoes in a white wine sauce. There are
also several chicken specialty pastas, including “Bobby’s Buffalo Penne,” with diced chicken baked in buffalo sauce and topped with melted mozzarella cheese. Entrees like chicken parmigiana, eggplant rollatini and shrimp parmigiana are all served with your choice of pasta. Entrée specials change daily. If you’re in the mood for a sub, you can order shrimp, chicken, eggplant, meatball and sausage/peppers parmigiana or the “Godfather.” That’s the sub with ham, salami, pepperoni, provolone, with lettuce and tomatoes, served hot or cold, but definitely with an attitude. Calzones and stromboli round out the menu. And then there’s the pizza. By the slice or a whole pie, there are 14 different specialty offerings, or you can build your own with a large variety of standard or gourmet

toppings. For a mere $2.50, you can get a slice of plain thin crust, Sicilian or Nonna’s pizza. The Nonna is a home-style pizza, past down from family. Special desserts prepared daily and craft cocktails from the bar will complete your experience. Pizzetta’s offers delivery as well as a gluten free and catering menu. The catering menu serves 8-10 people and aims to please, “because every meal should be as memorable as Sunday dinner.”
The emphasis on family recipes and attentive family-like service is why Pizzetta’s is a local favorite for great Italian food. In their words, “Once you eat with us, you are family. Mangia!”
