Beer Pairing Basics By Joshua Davis and Markos Youssef Is there anything better to bring family and friends together than grilling on a beautiful day? Don’t ruin your perfectly selected choice of meat by pairing it with a flavorless beer. Beer pairing is all about whether you want to match or contrast the flavors, bringing out certain attributes of the food. Beer is the most complex of all beverage choices so I’m here to help you be the expert. Grab the scissors and a fridge magnet because you’ll want to keep this in the kitchen! First, let’s choose what to grill. Chicken: One of the most reliable choices for backyard grilling needs an equally reliable beer. Chicken is a milder flavor so your beer will need to match the choice of sauce. A sweeter BBQ sauce can be paired with an easy-drinking amber or brown ale. If it’s a Carolina-style sauce with a bold vinegar flavor, you’ll want a beer with more crisp flavors while remaining light. Our Choices: North Coast Scrimshaw Pilsner, Ballast Point Longfin Lager, Flying Dog Old Scratch Amber Lager. Seafood: Nothing screams summer like fish briskly smoking over the grill, but these light flavors will require light beer choices. You want to be able to appreciate the subtle flavors of seafood, hints of seasoning and butter, so why not pair it with a delicious Belgian-style Witbier. The light flavors of coriander and sweet orange peel will pair perfectly with everything from shrimp to lobster as well. If you are using heavier seasonings, more spice, or blackening your fish, feel free to grab a beer with a bit more flavor like a Belgian Pale Ale or Belgian Tripel. Our Choices: Hoegaarden, Duvel, Tripel Karmeliet.
Sausage or Pork: The strong complex flavors of sausage are easy to enjoy, but hard to pair. A porter is great because it will match the smokiness of the casing, while the mild sweetness will contrast with the spice and juice within the casing. While eating pork chops or smoked ham, a porter might be too heavy for your summer palette, so grab a Brown Ale for the same effect in a thinner brew. Germans understand pairing pork with beer, so a safe bet is to grab an easy-drinking Hefeweizen. Personally, I like to make my pork spicy, and nothing goes better with spice than the crisp bite of a complex IPA. Our Choices: Founders Porter, Flying Dog In-Heat Wheat, Ballast Point Sculpin. Lamb: Too often, lamb chops are overlooked in North Carolina. Don’t be afraid to get out of your comfort zone with this delicious option and grab an equally perfect beer. For those that don’t know lamb, it has a unique sweetness when grilled properly. Garlic and a bit of spice can season the meat to have a delightful gamey flavor not present in poultry and pork. To match this, choose a beer created to pair with such foods, such as Scottish ales and Wee Heavy. Other options would be to match the sweetness with a Belgian Dubbel or contrast it with an American Pale Ale. Our Choices: Belhaven Scottish Ale, Ommegang Abbey, NoDa Jam Session. Steak: There’s nothing like a thick steak with its hearty beef flavor to bring everyone to a summer get-together. There isn’t a lot of seasoning needed for a great
Our Guest Mixologists for this issue are Markos Youssef, left, and Joshua Davis, co-owners of Brewmasters in Wilson. cut of steak other than salt and pepper, perhaps a little garlic or marinade. This means that your beer pairing can be completely about bringing out the beef flavor. My favorite choice is to go with a Belgian beer, either a Belgian Pale Ale or a Belgian Amber. If you have any strong flavors added to your steak, such as a marinade or caramelized onions, match it with a darker beer like a Belgian Quad or Stout. Our Choices: Ommegang Rare Vos, Unibroue Maudite, Left Hand Milk Stout Nitro. Hamburgers/Hot Dogs: All of the toppings that can be piled onto these backyard staples mean that it’s hard to pick just a few styles, so here’s your chance to play around with some pairings. Your safe bet is to go with a milder beer, allowing your topping choices to dominate your palette. Our Choices: Green Man ESB, Ballast Point Calico, Bell’s Amber Ale.

CASH
Written by Jennifer Strickland Photograph by GĂŠrard Lange 6
SUMMER 2015 | WILSONWOMAN.COM
It only takes spending a little bit of time with Cindy Cash to realize just how awesome this lady really is. Seriously. She’s amazing! She spends countless hours working on causes that are important to Wilson and all of its citizens and she does it with grace and determination.
Cindy Cash is also probably one of the most humble people you will ever meet. When I called to tell her that she had been selected as our “I am Wilson” representative for this issue, she repeated over and over that she was not worthy of the honor and how “surely there must be someone more deserving.” All it takes is a quick phone call to Tom Hackney to verify that she is, in fact, very worthy of the honor. “We are so very lucky to have someone like Cindy Cash living and working in Wilson. She is a terrific person that has worked tirelessly to make our community a better place. Whether it is helping to raise money for one of the many worthy causes we have here or putting our children on the path to a higher education, Cindy has been there with a level of excellence that I can only hope to aspire to.” Hackney has been fortunate to work with Cash on many projects and fundraisers over the years and is also a close personal friend. “When Cindy takes on a project, she gives it her all. Her grace, beauty, kindness and generosity shine through in everything she does. Her organization and people skills make her successful in everything she does. I am proud to be able to work with her on projects but I am even more proud to be able to consider her one of my closest friends.” Though she wasn’t born and raised in Wilson, Cash has lived and worked in the community since 1983 when she and husband Jim, a pathologist at Wilson Medical Center, moved here from their home state of Kentucky. “I have found Wilson to be the perfect hometown, and one my family and I happily adopted once we moved here in the 1980s. Wilson has been a lovely place to raise our family and be part of the community in meaningful and productive ways. The people here have been warm and welcoming to the Cash family since the moment we arrived.” Cash has fit right in and kept herself busy since her arrival. Over the years, she has been active in many organizations throughout the community, She’s been a part of the Wilson Medical Center Auxiliary, the United Way, Imagination Station, the Arts Council, Greenfield
School, and most recently as a volunteer for the Eyes on Main Street photo exhibit currently on display in downtown Wilson. “Wilson is a great place to live because it is a place where one person can really make a difference.” For 20 years, Cash was an ever present fixture at Greenfield School. She began as a middle and high school English teacher before transitioning into College Guidance, where she helped numerous students in their quest for the right college education for them. In her final years at Greenfield School, Cash became the director of the Greenfield Language Center, an on-campus center started to assist students and families dealing with dyslexia and learning differences. “I am completely passionate about learning and literacy,” she says.
kids are spread out from Atlanta to Winston Salem to Beaufort and when they started having children, I wanted to be there to help them in a way that our parents weren’t able to be for us,” she says. “My parents lived abroad when we had our children so they weren’t here to do the grandparent thing and help us. Jim’s mother had also passed away so I wanted to make sure that I was there for my kids to help them if and when they needed it.” Her role model? The late Pete Rikard. “This lady made a decision later in life to become an artist. My favorite place in our home is sitting underneath one of the first pieces of art she ever sold. It was the first big piece I had ever bought and the first one she had sold, so it holds a special place in my heart as I’m sure it did hers. It’s part of the Kimono series of tapestries she made. She is by far proof that you can do anything you want, any time you want.” Cash could be considered a role model herself. She’s made it her mission to be where she needs to be and do what she needs to do to help whomever may need it. “Anyone who is bored or lonely in Wilson needs only to look around, for there are so many meaningful volunteer opportunities that abound, and each and every one can make a huge difference to the citizens of our community.” When she’s not spending time with her grandchildren or working on a very important cause, Cash can be found teaching yoga at the Wilson YMCA, going to the movies with her husband, and appreciating the arts. “We love to support the arts. Whether it’s the Arts Council and an event they are holding, or one of the museums in Raleigh, we often spend a day together just taking it all in. We really are the best of friends.” If there is one piece of advice that Cash could share with every person she meets it would be this: “Our lives are what we choose to make of them. You can’t take for granted that you will live to be 90 one day. If you are fortunate enough to have good health, be proud of that and get out and live.”
“Wilson is a great place to live because it is a place where one person can really make a difference.” If you ask her about the best job she ever had, the answer comes easily. “Being a teacher! Early in my career, I had the chance to do on-air legislative reporting for Kentucky Educational television, which I thought was very cool since I got to be on TV, but interacting with students over great literature or helping them learn to write well, was a thrill and an honor that never got old. I still keep up with many of my former students, attend their weddings, and dote on their children.” After the birth of her first grandchild, Cash decided that it was time to move into the next “semester of life” as she calls it. “Having been a teacher for all those years, I think of everything in terms of school years! It was time for me to put my work life behind me and start figuring out where I wanted to go next.” After retirement, she decided to devote some time to her children and grandchildren. Jim and Cindy have three grown children, James, Libby and Will, and five grandchildren, Stanton, William, Jay, Leigh, and Joanne. “Our

pink and Written by Jennifer Strickland Photograph by Andrew Smith That’s the theme of the celebration hosted by The Pink Ladies of the Healthcare Foundation of Wilson, held May 14 at the Wilson Agricultural Center. The room, filled with people affected by breast cancer, was covered in pink, the signature color of breast cancer awareness. Current patients, previous patients, caregivers and close friends and family all came together to celebrate their successes. For some, that success was being in remission for years. For others, that success was making it through another round of chemo. I had the pleasure of sitting next to two ladies who have been celebrating remission for many years. Seventy-nine year old Ruby Narron found out almost 48 years ago she had breast cancer. “That was back before anybody really

knew anything about it. I was a young mom with two young daughters that needed me. So, I got the treatment my doctor recommended and here I am today.” Margie Narron, 83, has been a breast cancer survivor for 10 years. “That is one tough treatment. I guess it’s a good thing that I’m tougher!” Comedian Anita Renfroe provided attendees with a bit of wisdom and a lot of humor. “Make time to laugh,” she says. “No matter what you’re going through, laughter can help you through it. Whatever you do, don’t forget to laugh.” Renfroe worked the reason for the celebration into her comedy routine and encouraged everyone to laugh at themselves and the situation they had been put in. “You have to remember to
laugh, whether at yourself or your friend next door who is going through the same uncomfortable screening process you are. Do it in pairs. Then you can laugh at each other!” The Pink Ladies have committed themselves to helping women who might not otherwise be able to afford it get crucial screening and mammograms. “If we can save just one life by what we do, we have been successful,” says Lisa Skinner, the past president of the organization.

Your Financial Partnership By Wayne Johnson Given the choice, none of us would choose to learn about financial issues during a crisis like divorce, job loss or death of a spouse. However, that’s what many of us do. Sometimes, we think we’re helping our partner when we handle the finances alone. But nothing could be further from the truth. Like any business partnership, your partner in home finances needs to know how to carry on in case you die or become disabled. It takes more than having a credit card in your name or knowing your net worth to control your finances. You should have: • A loan in your name that establishes a credit history • Individual and joint savings and investment goals • Your own income replacement plan in case of disability • Your own financial strategy for retirement • An understanding of joint Social Security and pension benefits for both you and your spouse
You and your spouse should discuss the financial issues that you normally do yourself. Cover what you do month-to-month, why you do it and where you keep the records. And don’t forget any stocks, bonds, mutual funds, CDs, and life insurance or disability income policies you may have. In addition to short-term issues, review the big picture - long-term asset growth. Don’t make the common mistake of confusing day-to-day money management with building your savings.

BLISS
Written by Jennifer Strickland Photographs by Gérard Lange
The days are longer, the nights cool and crisp, and summer is just around the corner. Now is the perfect time to spruce up your backyard to get it ready for fun in the sweet summer sun. 10
SUMMER 2015 | WILSONWOMAN.COM
For some people, their backyard is their refuge from the world. It’s a place to sit back and relax and reflect on their day. It’s peaceful, quiet, and tranquil. For others, it’s a gateway to fun. Pool parties, cookouts, and even the occasional game of cornhole. The louder and more crowded it is, the better! Regardless of which category best suits you and your backyard, having a space that is everything you want it to be and more is easier than you think. You can find just about anything you need to make your backyard summer ready right here, well, in your backyard! There are many local businesses ready and willing to help you gear up for fun or wind down and relax. Designing your outdoor space should be similar to designing a room in your home. Your space should reflect your personality and be inviting and functional. Seating
should be arranged in groupings to encourage conversation and you should also consider having a portion of your seating in the shade for those hot summer days. When choosing seating for your space, consider the durability of the options you are interested in. “Wood outdoor furniture can be time consuming because you have to maintain it. You have to repaint it or restain it occasionally and some people just don’t want to have that maintenance,” says Gina Allen, at Patios In Bloom in Rocky Mount. “There are so many options available now that are easy to care for and don’t require that maintenance. You can get Polywood, all weather wicker, or cast stone and virtually eliminate having to maintain your furniture from year to year.” If you are thinking about adding a pool to your backyard, you will want to consider several things. Think about where you want your pool to be and
how large of a pool the space can accommodate. If you want your pool to be ready to enjoy all summer long, you’ll want to start planning in the late fall or early winter for installation. “It can take several months to install a pool during the winter. We are at the mercy of Mother Nature and the weather can cause significant delays. It’s always better to start early and hope for good weather than to start late and run into several weather snags,” says Gaston King, store manager at Supreme Pools in Wilson. King suggests sitting down with a knowledgeable pool professional and making a detailed plan and budget before construction begins. “There is nothing worse than starting on your dream pool and having high expectations that your budget won’t allow for,” he says. “Knowing your total cost up front can save everyone a lot of time and hassle throughout the process.” The cost of an inground pool is
sometimes out of reach for many families. Fear not, there are other options! “Above ground pools are becoming more and more popular and they can be installed much faster. Above ground pools can be ready to use in a few days versus the months it may take to install an inground pool, and they are much cheaper,” says King. If entertaining is an important part of your summer plans, you’ll want to take a look at all the options that are available in outdoor electronics. From weatherproof televisions, to speakers that look like rocks and frogs and more, you can create an amazing entertainment environment that will get you off the couch and onto your favorite lawn chair, or hammock, or blanket, or wherever else you sit while you enjoy the outdoors. “What you can do outside with your entertainment system is unlimited,” says Kenny Davis with Davis TV in Wilson. “The weatherproof televisions they are making these days have SUMMER 2015 | WILSONWOMAN.COM

amazing picture and sound quality and you don’t have to worry about bringing them in when it rains or snows, or even keep them out of the sun. Sunbright is an amazing company with an amazing product, and we are the only authorized dealer in Wilson that carries it. It withstands rain, snow, sun, wind and just about anything else Mother Nature can throw at it!” If you want more than your standard television sound, you can also add additional speakers that will blend with your outdoor decor. “Niles and Klipsch are two of the best brands out there and we just happen to carry them both. The speakers they make can blend so well with your decor that you will have no idea they are even there,” says Davis. “They can be shaped like rocks or hidden in a planter, or you can opt to go the traditional route and have your standard speakers mounted as well.” While wireless options are becoming more widely available, Davis says you
12
SUMMER 2015 | WILSONWOMAN.COM
should consider just how often you will be using the products before purchasing a wireless option. “If you are going to be listening to music for hours and hours, you’re going to run into an issue where you have to recharge some batteries. If you are only going to use the products for limited amounts of time, you’ll probably be okay. Sometimes remembering to check the amount of charge you have before you need it can be something people can easily forget. There’s nothing like being set up and ready to play your music or watch a movie and your speakers need to be recharged!” To add a touch of whimsy to your decor, you can add in brightly colored pots of flowers as well of splashes of color in your furniture cushions and pillows. “Definitely purchase durable outdoor cushions and pillows if you want them to last,” says Allen. “You’ll end up spending a bit more up front, but the overall cost will be far less in the end
because you won’t have to replace them year after year.” When choosing the type of landscaping you want to showcase in your backyard oasis, consider your location. If you live in an area without a lot of tree cover, your backyard could potentially be in full sun a good bit of the day. Plants and shrubs that can’t withstand direct sunlight won’t hold up well under those conditions and should be avoided. The same goes for plants that thrive in direct sunlight when your location is mostly shaded. A local nursery owner can assist you in selecting the right types of plants and shrubs for your specific location. Whatever you plan to do in your backyard, it should be everything you want it to be and more. To help you achieve that goal, rely on the local professionals that are ready to help in any way they can. “Shopping local for your products helps everybody,” says Davis.

Summertime Fun! By Janelle Brown-Taft
Summertime can be a fun time for children, as well as, for adults. This summer Wilson Community Family Practice wants everyone to enjoy the season, while being safe. We encourage out-door activities, such as swimming, hiking, biking, walking, running, gardening, or amusement parks to help meet the recommended 2 ½ hours of exercise per week. It is found that water-based activity is gentler on joints than land-based exercise, helping with arthritis and fibromyalgia symptoms; also, swimming helps reduce stress levels and improve mood. If that’s not enough, swimming is also a high calorie-burning activity. An hour of swimming can burn up to 650 calories. If possible, exercise and/or plan outdoor activities during early morning or late evenings. Through the course of the hot season, be sure to drink at least half your body weight in water daily. Do not wait
until you feel thirsty, but consume water throughout the day. Also, avoid a lot of caffeinated drinks and alcohol; however, drinking tea has its benefits. Tea, beyond refreshment provides antioxidants, cancer- and heart-protective polyphenols, which are beneficial to improving health. For a new twist, try making sun-brewed tea as follows: (1) Use 4 to 6 tea bags and fill a 2-quart glass container with water. (2) Place the container in sunlight for 3 to 5 hours to brew the sun tea. Eat small frequent meals that include fruit and low-fat dairy products. Use sunscreen made with SPF-30 for regular use outdoors, while moderate outdoor activities may require the use of SPF-50. If you are going to be outdoors, be sure to protect your face, shoulders and neck from exposure to UV rays by wearing a hat. Wear loose-fitting clothing which is light in color to reflect light. Be sure to

AFFAIR Written by Jennifer Strickland Photographs by Gérard Lange Wilson will soon be home to a new catering business. Savory & Sweet Catering will be opening at 415 W. Nash Street, the former Sweet Maria’s location. Owner Terri Camelio invited our readers into her home kitchen to share her story with our readers. She also shares one of her favorite recipes! “When I was younger, my mother didn’t really teach me how to cook. With six kids, she did what she had to do to get food on the table!” Born and raised in Norfolk, Virginia, Camelio is the fifth of six kids. “I am the last of five girls and I have a younger brother. I guess once my parents finally got a boy they figured they had enough kids!” Once she was old enough to move out on her own, Camelio bought a cookbook and set about cooking every recipe in it, from scratch. “I have always had a passion for cooking and being on my own and having to make my

own meals gave me the drive to explore that passion,” she says. Once she learned how to get around her own kitchen, Camelio started making her way around the kitchens of others. “I started out doing small catering jobs here and there. Dinner parties, small weddings, things like that.” Having spent most of her working life in sales, Camelio only recently decided to leave that life behind and persue her real passion for cooking by opening her own catering business. “I worked for Waste Industries for 20 years. I started in Virginia and was relocated to North Carolina several years ago. I lived in Greenville and commuted to Wilson every day.” When she decided to leave that career behind, Camelio had made her way up the ladder to management. “I was the corporate sales manager and trainer for Waste Industries.” Camelio moved to Wilson with her husband, Stan Matthews, four years ago. Her son, Ricky, is 16 and is a sophomore at Hunt High School. “Everyone in Wilson has been so welcoming. We absolutely love being here, and I couldn’t imagine a better place to start this chapter of my life,” she says. Camelio is also the designated chef for her husband’s band,

They expect something good when they’re here and I try to deliver!” When Savory & Sweet Catering opens its doors, customers will be able to select from many boxed lunch options as well as “take-n-bake” selections. “I plan to offer about six different sandwich options for boxed lunches. I will have a cranberry pecan chicken salad, an Italian sandwich on ciabatta bread, and a vegetarian sandwich as well as others.” As for the “take-n-bake” selections, Camelio plans to offer family favorites. “We’ll have chicken pot pie, lasagna, casseroles, and more.

Lynne White WILSON WOMAN ICON
Written by Jennifer Strickland Photographs by Gérard Lange Lynne White is the type of person you like from the moment you meet her. She’s outgoing, genuine, and just plain nice. Those qualities have served her well over the years with the many positions she has held. In August, she will celebrate her fifth year at the Wesley Shelter, where she is the executive director. Her road to that position has been interesting and it’s made her who she is, and she’s proud of that. “I absolutely love my job. I love the
20
SUMMER 2015 | WILSONWOMAN.COM
fact that I can get up every morning and be excited about going to work because I know that I’m going to work at an agency that helps people. There’s no better feeling than that,” she says. Born in Goldsboro, White moved to Wilson when she was in the seventh grade. She graduated from Elm City High School and went on to attend Wilson Community College, earning an associates degree in Corrections and Juvenile Delinquency before continuing
her education at Shaw University, where she earned her four-year degree in Criminal Justice. “I’ve done a lot of things since I graduated from high school and college. I got married, had a child, started a career, divorced, finished college, got married again, and had another child!” In between that time, she also held some pretty impressive jobs. She was a probation officer, worked in many capacities at the Department of Social
Services, worked in disaster response for the Red Cross, and worked with the Wilson Crisis Center for 11 years, all before coming to the Wesley Shelter. White says, “I’ve been busy!” In her position at the Wesley Shelter, White is responsible for overseeing all aspects of the services the Wesley Shelter provides. “We have so much going on here and so many people to help. In a perfect world, we wouldn’t be this needed, but unfortunately that isn’t the case so we do what we have to do. We are here to serve those that need our help and to do what needs to be done to ensure the success of those that come to us in their times of need.” Not long ago, White found herself to be the one in need. “My husband of 27 years passed away in March from liver disease. I found myself personally affected, but professionally had to remain strong and remember that I had a purpose and that there were people counting on me to be there and that, in turn, gave me strength.” White’s husband, Linwood White III, was a financial advisor with Wells Fargo and was well known and loved by the community. While it was difficult,
White has come back to work stronger and says that the loss of her husband has given her a new perspective. “I’ve always been the one that was there for everyone else. I didn’t know how to be the person that needed someone to be there for me. My parents, whom I am so fortunate to still have in my life, were there for me every step of the way.” White’s parents, Minnie and Sam McCullen, as well as her children, 32-year-old Lucas Barnes, and 22-yearold Linwood White IV, made sure she knew they were there if and when she needed them. “My mother would call and check on me while Linwood was in the hospital and I was traveling back and forth to Chapel Hill just to make sure I got home and to make sure I had eaten. She sure didn’t want me to miss a meal! My dad ran errands for us.” That new perspective she gained has transferred into her everyday work as well. “I think it changed me and made me even more compassionate for what the people that we help are going through,” she says.
What has been your life’s biggest struggle? Instead of struggle, I’d say challenge and that I am like most working women who juggle careers, children, husbands, church, school and all the responsibilities that we have and wondering if we are doing a good enough job with all of it. Always wanting to do the best for everyone and balancing that along with our many other roles can be tough. Taking time for self-care sometimes seems selfish, but we have to have time for that, too, in order to stay healthy physically and emotionally. Many women have additional care-giving responsibilities and having just experienced that, I can see where that takes a toll. Having cared for my husband through his illness and recent death added another layer of responsibility. There are lots of women who are caregivers and that can be exhausting. Losing him and seeing the effect on the family, children and friends has been the hardest thing I’ve experienced. Fortunately I have wonderful friends and strong parents who have been my caregivers and I am grateful.
What has been your proudest moment? Like most parents, I feel proud when I see my children succeed and are happy. I’m also fortunate in working at an agency whose mission I value
The Wesley Shelter is a private, non-profit agency that provides services for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and homeless women and children. The overall goal of the Wesley Shelter is to help victims become selfsufficient and independent and to give them the ability to live violence free lives. “If you don’t do this work with passion for people and the job, you will be lost. You can’t do this job unless it is in your heart to help,” says White. While White definitely doesn’t consider her an icon, there are hundreds of people all over Wilson that would disagree with her. Actually, the number of people she has helped over the years probably numbers into the thousands, maybe more. Her passion is clear from the moment she begins talking about her career and her love for what she does. Lynne White is one of a kind and her desire to help others radiates from every inch of her. “I just can’t say enough how much I love my job. I really do. I honestly love it!” Having had the pleasure of spending some time with her, I can tell you, she’s not kidding. She LOVES what she does and can’t wait to get up and do it all over again tomorrow.
and love. I felt pride recently on a day we were extremely busy meeting the needs of domestic violence and sexual assault victims. There were women attending classes, children in child care smiling and having fun; advocates and our attorney were working with victims meeting their safety and legal needs, going to court. The shelter was near capacity and women and children were having their basic needs of food, clothing and shelter met while the case manager was helping them find jobs and locate housing. We had several group sessions going on in English and Spanish. Our therapist was counseling clients and our play therapist had a large group of children she was working with. Donors were bringing in supplies for the shelter and donations for the Clothes Line. All the hustle and bustle and I felt so proud saying this is why we do what we do! This work matters and we are making a difference, every single day. I’m proud to be part of this organization that serves so many.
What advice would you give a young woman starting her professional life? Find your passion. We spend so much time at work it is important to love what we do. It is rewarding when you are excited about what you do. I’ve been at Wesley Shelter almost five years and it has flown by. I’d also encourage her to not be afraid of change and to think outside the

box. We don’t always end up where we thought we would when we were first starting out. Create professional relationships and partnerships. Network and build a support system and always look for opportunities for growth.
Who has been the most inspirational figure to you? Why? It may sound cliché but my mother and father are my inspiration. They are good, down to earth people who have strong moral values. They have tremendous work ethics and instilled that into my brother and me. They treat people with respect and do the right thing. I’ve seen over and over how that earns respect and trust and how people appreciate that honesty and integrity.
What do you consider the most important virtues a woman must possess? I think everyone should be honest, straight forward and treat people like you’d like to be treated. Be kind in all that you do, even in the challenges. Personally I have a strong faith and pray for guidance. When I do that, things seem to work out as they should, with no regrets or what-ifs.
What do you value most in the world? Family, friends and health. In the last couple of years, I’ve seen my husband, a vibrant outgoing person who worked out daily, become seriously ill and die. Despite all that we do to stay healthy, we can’t always control the outcome. Being healthy is a blessing and one that we
22
SUMMER 2015 | WILSONWOMAN.COM
need to protect and appreciate as much as possible. I value my family and friends who helped me through this difficult time in my life. Everyone has been so kind and it has been humbling to experience the love, support and encouragement.
What is the biggest problem facing Wilson moving forward? Continued high poverty rate, high unemployment, hunger, homelessness. Many think poverty is the result of behaviors or choice and sometimes it can be. But many people are living pay check to pay check and any unexpected bump can put them in serious trouble. Those born into generational poverty can overcome it but it is a difficult cycle to break. I have seen firsthand the challenges the poor face through my many human services roles. Not having a strong support system, not being able to finish an education, getting pregnant at an early age, not having the skills to find a live-able wage job, not having transportation are just a few of the barriers. Access to health care is still difficult, especially for mental illness. Many things the average person takes for granted are not available to the poor or are out of reach.
What is your biggest hope for the future of Wilson? Wilson has many positive things going on and it is exciting. The Youth Master Plan has been finished and is a great collaboration of community partners demonstrating what can be done when we all work together. Now the Beyond 21 planning has begun. We are seeing good things coming to downtown, like the current Eyes on Main Street exhibit and Whirligig Park, festivals, music and new businesses relocating. The expansion of the Community College, the Wilson Village Project and Barton College campus upgrades are positive. I hope to see the momentum of good things happening continue.

FASHION
Written by Jennifer Strickland Photographs by GĂŠrard Lange 24
SUMMER 2015 | WILSONWOMAN.COM
Sweet summertime has arrived! It’s time for dresses and shorts, tank tops and flip flops, and . . . bathing suits! Oh, the horror! If you’re like me, summer has once again snuck up on you and those extra 10 pounds you meant to lose before it got here. Luckily for me, this summer’s top fashion are all about comfort. Lightweight, flowy fabrics are the go-to trend this season. Yay! “Comfort is key,” says Sheryl Creech, owner of Blissful Boutique in Wilson. “Shift dresses and palazzo pants are super hot this year. You can get them in all sorts of colors and patterns.” Denim is also in this year. “The Miss Me denim line has been very popular already this year, as has Articles of Society.” For a casual weekend look, you can pair your favorite denim with a Bella Cotton tee shirt, available exclusively at Blissful Boutique, and designed right here in Wilson by local designers Mandy Renfrow and Victoria Gardner. “We have been selling quite a few of these shirts lately. They are really popular I think because they are designed by local residents and people want to support our local talent, plus they’re adorable,” says Creech. You can also pair your denim with a tee or tank from Sun & Moon, also found at Blissful Boutique.
As expected, thanks to the Lilly for Target collection that sold out in, like, two minutes, Lilly Pulitzer is super popular this season, and well, always. The great Lilly Letdown of 2015 won’t stop loyal Lilly fans from getting some fabulous pieces from their favorite designer, though. “Lilly Pulitzer is a timeless favorite. It’s been a big seller for us,” says Steadman Lanier, owner of Belle & Co. in Wilson. And what type of shoes do you pair with your Lilly shift dress and accessories? Why, Jack Rogers sandals, of course! “Jack Rogers are always in style. We can’t keep them in the store,” says Mollie Dorsey at Belle & Co. You could also opt for a fabulous pair of wedges from Toms as well, though. “Toms has some amazing designs this year. They are flying off the shelves. The Toms line appeals to the customers that love the Bohemian style. That’s been a really popular look so they’ve been a really good seller,” says Lanier. Don’t forget one of the most important parts of your outfit . . . accessories! Whether you go for big, chunky pieces or simple and understated baubles, you can’t go wrong with pieces from Brighton, Kameleon, or
Spartina, all of which are available at Gracie’s Village Shoppes. “We try to keep a large selection in stock in a wide variety of colors. You’re sure to find something you can wear with any outfit,” says Gracie Evans, owner of Gracie’s Village Shoppes. One must not forget the most important accessory of all though, sunglasses! The right pair of sunglasses can tie your ensemble together perfectly. “Toms has a great line of sunglasses,” says Dorsey. They are very well made and come in styles to fit everyone’s face shape and personality. You can’t go wrong with a pair of sunglasses from Toms!” When dressing for the summer weather, make sure you dress for your body type. Unfortunately, certain trendy styles don’t work well for those of us that are vertically challenged. Capris turn into highwaters, maxi dresses drag behind us. It’s not pretty and no one wants to see that! Feeling confident and comfortable is the key to feeling fabulous about yourself. Your outfit and accessories can easily help you show off your personality, so rock your favorite style and just be you!

Young author reaches milestone with new book By Lisa Boykin Batts
Perry Morrison III wasted no time getting his writing career started. The 20-year-old Wilson native and junior at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill released his first novel, “Monsters in Mirror,” recently in digital and paperback formats. Morrison, who describes himself as a fast writer, wrote six full-length novels last year, including this one. “Monsters in the Mirror” was written in rhyming couplets, a challenging format, Morrison admits. It’s challenging for the writer as well as the reader. “It’s not what people are normally used to reading,” he said. “People are inclined to read quickly and not often deeply.” Here’s an example from the book: “It was all fine and dandy. The door opened wide, “And a clanking told Jane to find somewhere to hide. “There were clanks all around from the boots of the knight: “All the stones, how they trembled, with pleasure and fright.” Even if verse is light and witty, the reader must still think about what is
being said because it’s presented in a different way, Morrison said. So why do it in verse rather than prose? “It is a challenge; as a writer, it’s more fun,” he said. “It is challenging enough that after that second book I stopped writing in verse.” Morrison, whose major is dramatic arts and communications with a minor in writing for screen and stage, said his writing career official started when he was cast as Mark Twain in the ACT! for Youth production of “Tom Saywer.” He was asked to write an introductory piece for the first and second acts. “It was the highlight of my entire high school career,” he said. “It set me on the path of knowing I like to write things that entertain people.” “Monsters in the Mirror” is about a young girl who stumbles into the magical universe Morrison named Nowhere. She meets a variety of characters in a parallel universe similar to “Alice in Wonderland.” The idea for the story came to Morrison while he was studying abroad at Oxford in London. He saw a library exhibit on magic in fiction featuring such writers as J.R.R. Tolkien and J.K. Rowling. “And suddenly, the idea just popped into my head for ‘Monsters in the Mirror.’” Morrison said he spent the second half of his trip thinking about the story

Batts,
and planning it, coming up with witty things to put in the universe. He published the book through Book Baby, which distributed it to digital retailers. Morrison said it was expensive, and he used his own money from a commercial acting job to prove he could do it. He didn’t want to ask his dad for money. If everything goes as planned, he plans to release his second book, “My Not-So Secret,” on April 1. When he graduated from Hunt High School, Morrison, son of Perry and Nancy Morrison, thought he wanted to become an actor; later, he got into screen writing. He’s not taking creative writing classes, though, because he doesn’t want to write for grades. “I enjoy it more than anything I’ve ever done,” he said. “I really like what I do, and I want to keep doing it.”
