We’ve got your fall to-do list

Welcome to our Fall Arts Preview issue, an annual tradition here at Lake Norman CURRENTS and an edition that virtually writes itself. And no, don’t be silly, it’s not through the wizardry of AI tools. It’s such an easy and fun issue to compile because there is such an incredible variety of music of any genre, art in any form and festivals for every taste to enjoy right here in our blissful Lake Norman bubble.

For just a small sampling of what I’m bragging about, check out our listing of local concerts, art exhibits and festivals starting on Page 21. Whether it’s the plethora of concert series available in Davidson or crowd-pleaser performers gracing the stage at Cain Center for the Arts in Cornelius, you’d be hard pressed to find a more diverse offering of musical options in our region. Combine those with some impressive art exhibits and festivals full of food and fun, and you’ll see how Lake Norman has truly come into its own with the ability to attract such high-end entertainment.

But if the crowds that some of these events will attract aren’t quite your speed, find a comfortable, quiet space to curl up and check out our features on two local artists bringing their gifts to the region and beyond. Wendy Hickey of Troutman promotes the best of our area’s artists through ArtPop Street Gallery featuring billboard and other public art installations, as well as pop-up markets and fashion shows. And meet Teri Fridley, a Davidson retired teacher turned multimedia artist creating all things whimsical in her home studio.

It’s not just the traditional arts that play a featured role in many of our stories this month – everything from the art of design and simple ideas to refresh your home’s aesthetic (Page 27), to the art of giving by high school student Jack Williams and his summer reading book drive for his ESL students (Page 33), to the art of cooking and the masterpiece that is this month’s recipe from Kathy Dicken (Page 44). Editor’s confessional note: I tried this recipe before I even prepared it for printing. One look at the ingredients for Creamy Boursin Chicken and Spinach Orzo and I knew I had to jump in. I used my husband and my parents as guinea pigs, and now we are all hooked. This will be an easy go-to for many meals to come.

So, clear your calendar, clear the cat off your coziest chair and clear the kitchen counter – there’s much to experience in this month’s issue. And make no mistake, we are clearly fortunate to have all these wonderful people and experiences right here in our backyard. Don’t let fall pass you by without checking out at least a few.

Mooresville Milestone

Mooresville Arts is celebrating a big birthday this year – its 70th anniversary. The origins of the culturally enriching organization date back to 1955, when six local artists would get together to exchange ideas. They sought out locations, both private and public, where they would be hosted as they engaged in their artistic pursuits. Within about 10 years, the group had grown to 20 artists and named themselves the “Mooresville Artist Guild.”

Over the years, the group increased its membership, achieved nonprofit status and established its base of operations at the historic Mooresville Depot. In 2014, the group officially changed the name of the organization to “Mooresville Arts.”

Executive Director (and portrait painter) Jessica DeHart has been involved with Mooresville Arts since 2009. Originally joining as a volunteer, DeHart has held a variety of positions within the organization. Over those years, Mooresville Arts has continued to expand its operations and reach in the community. DeHart says that they’ve “had a trajectory of growth for about 10 years.”

The organization now has more than 300 members — many are from Mooresville. But others are from Charlotte, Davidson, Huntersville and Cornelius. All levels of artists are welcome and represented, from emerging to professional. And while many artist members are painters, there are also ceramicists/potters, wood artists, fiber artists, photographers and those whose medium is drawing. Some members, while not artists, are supporters and enthusiasts of the arts in the community.

Mooresville Arts offers classes in a range of mediums that serve people of varying skill sets. It also provides lectures, workshops and a summer art academy. Its gallery exhibits change every six to eight

weeks, with free admission to the public. And the gift shop offers an opportunity to purchase a piece of art made from a regional artist. Between its educational programs and the gift shop, it serves more than 1,000 artists a year, according to DeHart.

Mooresville Arts will hold a three-day event, taking place November 20-22. “Arts on Main” is described as “a weekend of creativity, culture, and community.” It kicks off with a ticketed viewing of the American Watercolor Society’s Travel Exhibit at Mooresville Arts. There will also be a downtown gallery crawl and a fine arts festival (at the Charles Mack Citizen Center), with free entry to both events.

An important community resource, Mooresville Arts continues to thrive. DeHart credits its success, in large part, to the dedicated staff, volunteers, members, patrons, sponsors and donors. They have enabled Mooresville Arts to sustain and expand its programs and operations. The goal is to continue to do even more for the community in the future.

The Mermaid’s Grotto

Powerhouse Realtor’s Outer Banks sanctuary

by Allie Spencer

For more than 21 years, Nadine Wynn has been a trusted name in Lake Norman real estate, guiding clients through more than $425 million in closed transactions. But beyond the bustling Lake Norman market, Wynn likes to escape to her creative refuge, her second home — “The Mermaid’s Grotto” in South Nags Head.

Her connection to the Outer Banks began about 15 years ago, when a week-long trip with her daughter took them from the northernmost sands down to Ocracoke Island.

“Beach speaks to me,” she says, “but the Outer Banks is so different. It is wild and it is untamed. That’s what really captured me.”

In 2022, Wynn turned that affection into something tangible, purchasing a beach house with “good bones” and reimagining it as a retreat for her and a luxury rental for guests. Renovating in the Outer Banks came with its own unique challenges.

“Contractors are either fishing or surfing,” she says with a laugh. Having gone through the process herself, today she has expanded her real estate services to help clients looking to buy in the Outer Banks, with a focus on South Nags Head and Manteo.

The name “The Mermaid’s Grotto” is a playful nod to her fiancé, Tom, who once spotted her swimming in Lake Norman and jokingly

declared he’d “found a mermaid.” Now, guests can escape to her “grotto” for a stay that blends luxury with the serenity of a nearly untouched shoreline — no public access crowds, just the hush of the surf. Wynn especially treasures the off-season in South Nags Head.

“There’s such a calm that settles over the island in the winter and the fall,” she says. “September is breathtaking.”

It’s in these quiet moments that she finds creative flow. Wynn has been working on a memoir for 10 years about her past and how it has fueled her to succeed. She envisions the book as being a selfhelp meets life story, hoping to inspire others to overcome difficult situations. Her writing often gets sidelined in Lake Norman, where her real estate business keeps her busy. But in the Outer Banks, the distractions melt away. She credits the pure air, the rhythm of the ocean waves and the grounded feeling of being at the beach.

“There’s something about the sea that strips away all noise,” she says.

Her Outer Banks must-do list includes sunrise walks, Bodie Island Lighthouse and ferry trips to Ocracoke’s powder-soft beaches and historic town. But her best advice for a Lake Norman neighbor visiting in the off-season?

“Don’t do too much. Don’t over schedule … embrace the quiet.”

ArtPop elevates local creatives

Twelve years ago, Troutman resident Wendy Hickey launched ArtPop Street Gallery in the 12-county greater Charlotte area. Evidence of the nonprofit’s vision to offer opportunities to local artists through highly visible installations and transform spaces into creative environments is seen on Interstates 77 and 85 and other roads across the region. Fourteen-foot by 48-foot digital and vinyl billboards build a vibrant community that ArtPop strives for each day by displaying visual art such as paintings, photographs, pottery and woodwork created by local artists.

Hickey’s more than 20 years in the billboard industry, mostly with Adams Outdoor Advertising, gave her the contacts and the knowledge needed to turn available billboards into art galleries.

“That is the secret sauce for ArtPop Billboard Art Exhibition,” Hickey says. “I have those relationships. I worked with those people. They’re my friends, and they love to support local artists.”

In its 12th season, ArtPop has served 222 local artists from the Billboard Art Exhibition. Each year, a seven-panel jury which changes each year, chooses 20 artists, one of which is a high school senior, from a pool of 300 to 400 applicants. The jury uses a blind process

for selection and ArtPop staff do not serve on the panel.

For an entire calendar year, ArtPop artists’ works are visible across the country on billboards. Their name is listed prominently with a link to find out more about the artist and their work. In 2023, Times Square in Manhattan began displaying ArtPop’s artists every day, when space is available.

“It’s billions of eyeballs on their art,” Hickey says.

ArtPop artists participate in one of two popup art markets in the spring and fall. The next one is Nov. 1, from 6 to 9 p.m., at the Le Méridien, a hotel in uptown Charlotte.

Ten artists set up tables to display their artwork for sale. Admission and parking for the Community Art Market is free. The artists keep 100% of the proceeds.

“You can meet the artists, you can talk to them,” Hickey says. “You can hear about their processes. There’s no pressure. There’s no dress code. Just come and enjoy yourself.”

The nonprofit depends on corporate and individual donations and fundraising events to operate. Through its other departments — art project management, events and upcycling divisions — ArtPop provides services to the community bringing in revenue to the organization and introducing additional artists to opportunities. For the past five years, the Upcycled Fashion Show each September has been ArtPop’s annual fundraising event. The retired vinyl billboards from ArtPop artists are upcycled into haute couture by local designers.

“When you describe it to people without them seeing it, they’re hesitant,” Hickey says. “But then when they go, they’re blown away. It’s the most exciting time of the year for us.”

Cain Center sculpts the future on historic sites

by Tony Ricciardelli renderings

The Cain Center for the Arts opened its doors in 2023, and since then the public has embraced the 32,000-square-foot facility and the venues and programs it’s made available to the Lake Norman community. The Center celebrates art in many forms including visual arts, performing arts, art education and more. Its successes and ties to its community run deep, partnering with local nonprofits to bring art to life.

“The Cain Center for the Arts is a regional asset,” says Amanda Sloan, Director of Marketing & Public Relations. “We’re a template and resource for other communities looking to establish and explore similar possibilities.”

While its reputation is growing as a regional model of what a successful art institution can be in all its design and operations, opportunities for maintaining momentum and broadening its relevance in the community presents challenges. One challenge facing the Cain Center was to find a suitable location for its ceramics program, formerly located at the Oak Street Mill. The goal was to establish a permanent home with enough space to accommodate equipment and ceramicists of all levels.

Known as the Sculpting the Future project, the vision became a reality when four parcels of land located on Catawba Avenue became available. The property includes two historical homes — the Goodrum and Puckett houses dating back to the turn of the twentieth century — and an additional parcel purchased as a strategic play for future growth.

Working with town leaders and Preserve Mecklenburg, Inc., the Cain Center reached a preservation agreement which will uphold the

A Permanent Home for Ceramicists

integrity and architectural aesthetics of the property and surrounding area. The properties for the $5 million dollar project were purchased in December 2024. Groundbreaking took place in March 2025; work on the properties will continue into 2026 with a tentative ribbon cutting scheduled for May 20, 2026.

“Plans show the Puckett House serving the ceramics programs, while the Goodrum House is slated for offices. The renovated properties and surrounding landscape will honor Cornelius’ history,” says Cain Center for the Arts Executive Director Justin Dionne. “Between the two houses will be a courtyard, designed to host a variety of events, workshops, performances, fundraisers and small expos encouraging residents and visitors alike to come together and celebrate the arts and our community. The location itself along with the newly resurrected property will serve as a gateway to Downtown Cornelius, while generating new opportunities for artists and students in the surrounding region.”

The new ceramics house will include three classrooms: a flex studio, a wheel studio and a hand-building studio. Equipment includes three kilns, 12 wheels and six hand-building tables. Estimated class sizes will range from 10 to 12 students, and a variety of classes will be available during morning, afternoon and evening hours. Wheel Throwing and Hand-Building classes will be offered to both youth and adults. The instructors are experts in their crafts and have been teaching for at least 15 years.

DESIGN WITH INTENTION

At Home, Heart & Soul, every project begins with a story—yours. I believe that great design is more than just beautiful rooms; it’s about creating spaces filled with meaning, personality, and connection. Whether it’s collaborating with local artists, incorporating heirlooms, or curating one-of-a-kind pieces, every detail is chosen with intention.

One transformation included a heartfelt surprise for my client’s husband—a vibrant custom painting of his boat anchored outside their favorite waterfront restaurant. This bright, joyful piece now acts as a focal point in their great room, sparking daily memories of treasured moments on the water. In a guest suite, a beautiful art piece purchased to benefit Western NC hurricane victims turns a welcoming room into a quiet reminder of the power of community.

For a local artist, we designed a living space that reflected her creativity and love story. Her original artwork and a striking custom sculpture take center stage, while a custom pillow—made from the sweater she wore on her wedding day and embroidered with her and her husband’s monogram—adds a deeply personal touch.

In another project, a sitting room was brought to life with custom local art created to harmonize the space—tying together the palette, textures, and mood for a perfectly balanced result. These are the moments when design transcends décor, becoming a reflection of the people who live there. That’s the heart of intentional design— and the magic I love bringing to every home.

Boutique Quail Hunting at The Webb Farm

Birds, expertly trained dogs and camaraderie are just a two-hour drive from Lake Norman

by Vanessa Infanzon

Five years ago, a friend offered Joe Hunt the opportunity to shoot quail at The Webb Farm in Ellerbe, North Carolina, less than a two-hour drive from his home in Davidson. Although Hunt had experience with clay shooting and considered himself an outdoorsman, he’d never hunted.

“While I was well educated by the staff in my first hunt,” says Hunt, a longtime Lake Norman area resident, “I was downright lucky to hit a bird on my first shot. I don’t remember the shot as well as I remember the pointers and flushing dogs working. The retriever found the bird deep down in the thicket more than 50 yards away. I was amazed and hooked at that first covey. It’s a real privilege to experience The Webb Farm.”

Bill Webb launched The Webb Farm in 2005 as a premiere quail hunting business on 1,400 acres of family land that once produced tobacco. He implemented the same quail hunting techniques his father and uncle used in the 1950s, adding a few modern upgrades. Guests travel along the same paths in Kawasaki Mules with expert guides and stay in boutique lodging with spacious rooms, a stocked bar and a firepit for evening entertainment.

Both the lodge and its annex, The Roost, feature wood and leather

accents and are decorated with artwork by internationally renowned North Carolina native Bob Timberlake. Timberlake and his family visit The Webb Farm often for group hunting outings.

Taking flight

The hunting season runs from October through March, when the weather is cool enough for the dogs to work. The Webb Farm prides itself on offering a full-service experience: “arrive dressed with your boots on; we provide everything you need for your hunt.” Meals, a blaze orange vest, guns, shells, guides and dogs for small groups of hunters are included in all the hunting packages. Staff harvest the birds and guests leave with frozen quail, although not necessarily the ones they shot.

While a full day with lodging or a full day or half day without lodging are available, guests reserve the split day with lodging most often. The split day includes two hunting sessions. Guests arrive for lunch, hunt all afternoon, enjoy a chef prepared dinner, an evening by the fire and overnight accommodations. After a hot breakfast the next morning, guests return to the field for several more hours before leaving with a box lunch.

All guests, no matter how many times they’ve been to The Webb

by

Farm, watch the seven minute safety video. The Webb Farm may obtain hunting licenses for guests if they don’t already have one. A clay range behind the lodge is available for practice.

‘Lifelong memory’

The indoor and outdoor spaces at The Webb Farm provide time to gather, swap stories and build friendships. Since Hunt’s first experience in 2020, he’s returned several times each year and plans to bring his sons and grandchildren on a family trip. Hunt was most surprised by the admiration and respect he’s developed for the guides and their dogs.

“They raise and train the dogs, and bird hunting is a yearround lifestyle for them,” Hunt says. “The dogs are amazing and it’s mind boggling to watch them work. The guides’ passion and personalities make it an even more rewarding experience and lifelong memory.”

Pro Tip: Purchase The Webb Farm creamed honey before you leave. The bees are raised on the farm and the honey is processed locally without additives.

Simply Refreshing

Easy ideas for a new look

by Lori Helms

This might be an uncomfortable topic to bring up, but I’m going to jump right into it anyway. Ahem ... the start of the traditional holiday season is only about eight weeks away. There, I said it. And look, I’m the first one to bemoan the arrival of Thanksgiving retail merchandising in September, but when it comes to making your home holiday ready on a tight timeline and possibly even tighter budget, it’s never too soon to start planning.

That’s why I reached out to some of our favorite interior designers to get ideas for what you can easily do to bring a little bit of a refresh to your home before the onslaught of friends, family, out-of-town guests, parties and other special events. As I suspected they would, they came up with some fantastic tips for small changes that can have a big impact on any room in the house.

Show your true colors

Switching up color schemes was a prevalent recommendation by all of our designers, and those color changes could happen in any design dimension. With a little bit of planning, everything from kitchen cabinets to walls to ceilings can receive a fresh drenching of color to create maximum impact, long before your holiday plans set in. But it’s not just your flat surfaces that can benefit from the color treatment.

“I would recommend to any homeowner to focus on color,” says Michelle McKoy of Michelle McKoy Designs. “Not necessarily on the walls, but it can be on accessories such as a new rug, pillows, throws and even some small accent pieces.” She practices what she preaches in her own home, by simply switching out pillows. She recommends bright, vibrant colors for spring and summer, and deeper, richer colors for fall and winter.

And have fun with color, much like Misty Molloy of CoCreative Interiors did with a recent entry way spruce-up. She added wallpaper on the ceiling, a statement rug and unique furnishings, and topped it all off with a fun light fixture – another highly recommended and simple switch-up.

In a new light

McKoy tells me to consider lighting as “the jewelry in any room,” and her fellow professionals agree. They say one of the biggest impacts you can make could range from simply updating what you have to, as Lori Savio from Home, Heart & Soul tells me, splurging a bit on “a fabulous chandelier.” And don’t forget about lighting in other areas of your home, says Kelly Cruz of Kelly Cruz Interiors in Cornelius.

“Install new decorative lighting and upgrade your task lighting,” Cruz says about your kitchen and its prep spaces. “Just changing the warmth of the bulbs in under-counter lights and recessed cans can make a huge difference.” She also recommends considering a similar change for your dining room – a space that will likely see a good deal of activity this season.

Out with the old, in with the new

When it comes to Christmas-specific updates, Kimberly Casper of Eden Chase Designer Builds & Interiors recently experimented with this in her own home. She pitched all her old Christmas décor, lighted garlands, etc., and replaced with more earthy garland and handmade blue bows.

“The goal was less is more and to repeat the theme throughout the home,” she says. “The addition of antique brass bells in various spaces helped warm up the cool tones.” Casper carried the holiday décor refresh throughout her home, with brass sconces along the stairway and small pine boughs with blue ribbon.

“Keep it simple, fresh and timeless,” she says, “like simply swapping ribbon colors and always have your wrapping (paper) compliment your color pallet.”

The Libraries That Jack Built

Hough High senior breaks the book bank

by Tony Ricciardelli | photographs courtesy Cheryl Williams

As part of Angels & Sparrows Community Table and Resource Center’s efforts to provide access to essential educational opportunities, its Pathways Program works with local families to attain and secure the skills and knowledge needed to break the cycle of food insecurity and poverty. For example, Pathways’ Youth & Teen Program relies on local volunteers to provide children with literacy support, tutoring, mentoring, ACT/SAT Prep and college and career readiness. For Hough High School senior and volunteer Jack Williams, becoming a Reading Buddy reading to ESL students was an equally inspiring opportunity.

“I raised my children to believe in the importance of volunteering,” says Williams’ mom, Cheryl. “Jack’s younger brother Luke also donates his time as a Reading Buddy.”

The curriculum is largely successful because the program’s volunteers are dedicated to the program’s mission. For Williams, the relationships he developed with his young students and the progress those students made under his tutelage motivated him to give beyond his hours at Angels & Sparrows Resource Center.

“I decided to build home libraries for the ESL program,” says Williams. “My goal was to collect 500 books for pre-K to middle school students to be distributed on May 29.”

To achieve his goal, Williams set up shop within his own community, the Northstone neighborhood in Huntersville. There he developed and executed an outreach strategy using social media and volunteer recruits to drive interest, recruit sorters and ensure delivery. Drop-off points would be a local business and the neighborhood clubhouse.

“I wanted to provide an opportunity to make a direct, tangible impact on ESL students as well as build a sense of neighborhood pride

and shared purpose.” Williams used social media as a primary means of communicating his vision. “Social media is essential,” says Williams.

“Without Facebook, it would have been a lot harder.” Online, Williams provided ongoing progress and images of the mounting donations, and several hashtags led online viewers to his cause. “I tried to keep content friendly and positive, so people would feel good about what we did and maybe want to help out next time.”

In all, Williams collected 1,708 books — more than five times his original goal. As a testament to the Reading Buddy Program and his efforts, Williams notes that one of his students is now reading two years above the required grade reading level.

“Every student received 20-plus books to build their home library and practice reading all summer. Seeing how those 40 kids reacted with joy and appreciation to the stacks of books piled high gave me confidence and reinforced good times together while building strong bonds with my students.”

During this past summer’s school break, Williams enjoyed an internship at IBM and served as a lifeguard at Ramsey Creek Beach. His outside interests include competitive swimming, auto mechanics and “souping up” cars and any outdoor activity. After graduating high school next spring, Williams plans to attend college and study business sales.

Echoes in Art

Local artist brings old books, magazines and letters to life

From embroidery to three-dimensional pieces, Fridley is constantly stretching her artistic wings.

Artist Teri Fridley creates not only out of love for the craft, but for the incredible women who came before her.

“The thing is, all of the women in my family, I would call them artists. But not a single one of them would have called themselves artists,” she says. Fridley describes the limitations of her female family members who grew up in a time where young women were not encouraged to pursue creative disciplines as a career path.

“My great-grandmothers, my grandmothers, my mother, my aunts. They crocheted, they knitted, they sewed their own clothes and curtains. They cooked,” Fridley says. “But all of these things were just part of being a housewife. They were never considered art.” In many ways, Fridley faced these same challenges growing up. “I spent my whole life not even thinking about being an artist.”

Like many of her family members, Fridley went into education and was an elementary school teacher for years. After moving back home to take care of her father, Fridley enrolled in a class at Gaston College with Barbara Chadwick, who was teaching a 3-D design course.

“I thought my brain had exploded,” says Fridley. “It was her, she somehow opened this in me.” It was Chadwick who first inspired her to create sculptures through texturized cardstock. Every assignment from that moment on inspired Fridley to experiment, create and innovate. It was also Chadwick who first suggested to Fridley that she incorporate books into her artistic process.

“I made a huge wing coming out of a biology book that I found in a thrift store,” she says, describing the first time she performed what she now dubs a “book autopsy.” Shortly after Fridley created the piece, a collector bought it. “I really found my niche in paper.” She then enrolled at Penland School of Craft in the mountains of North Carolina, where she took various classes centered around using paper as an artistic tool.

“I do this for love, I do this for heritage. I use my mother’s old letters, letters from service men in World War II. Old women’s magazines from the 50s and 60s.” Fridley likes to be humorous, with a series called “Elegant Beasts” depicting fashion models’ bodies cut out from magazines with animal heads. Another, titled “Women in Hats,” takes the faces of women and places Jell-O bowls on top of their heads. “It’s a recognition of the women I come from.”

Through her art, Fridley attempts to showcase the shallowness of how women have been, and continue to be, depicted in the media, while celebrating their incredible abilities that often go unnoticed.

Retired and living in Davidson, Fridley says she’s the happiest she’s ever been. She works out of her home studio, and is constantly finding new ways to create and express herself artistically, with her most recent focus on embroidery. If you are interested in Fridley’s work, she continues to donate collage cards to Bliss Gallery in Belmont, North Carolina.

“The line between the public life and the private life has been erased, due to the rapid decline of manners and courtesy. There is a certain crudeness and crassness that has suddenly become accepted behavior, even desirable.”

Yes, ma’am. No, ma’am.

Can we return to courtesies?

by Mickey Dunaway

In 1971, during my second summer as a high school teacher and basketball coach in Mobile, Alabama, a fellow coach convinced me that I could earn some extra money umpiring little league baseball games.

I jumped at the chance. After all, how hard could umpiring little league games really be? I had played baseball and softball every year I was in school. In my first game, I was umping at second base, and “Geez,” I thought, “this really is easy money.” I was so wrong.

In the second game of the evening, I was behind the plate and things went well. As it turned out, the catcher was pretty good, and the pitcher couldn’t break a windowpane with his fastball.

The game moved along without incident until the bottom of the fifth inning – one inning left in the six-inning game. A runner was on third base. Two outs. Score tied. The pitcher threw a slow fastball, and the batter hit a roller back to the pitcher.

The coach at third base sent the runner. Running was not an accurate description of what the player at third actually did. He was only a foot off the base when the batter hit the ball back to the pitcher, and he hesitated in place.

Uncertain about what he should do, the kid looked to his third base coach, who was clapping his hands and yelling, “Go…go…go!” to his player on third. The runner’s hesitation meant he inevitably started out behind. It was going to be a close play at the plate as the pitcher fielded the ball and threw it to the catcher.

I anticipated a close play — slow runner starting late, pitcher with a rubber band arm and a catcher who might or might not catch the ball with a runner bearing down on him. So, I made my way from behind the catcher so I could see the play at the plate clearly.

The ball and the runner were moving at about the same speed. Not the easy call I hoped for as the ball arrived maybe a second before the runner. The catcher applied the tag. I called the runner out. The catcher and pitcher ran back to their dugouts, celebrating.

The third-base coach, also the manager of his team, began racing from his third-base coaching box straight at me. He was red-faced, calling me names at the top of his lungs — names I had never been called before and cannot repeat in a family magazine.

I kept my composure, as the coach arrived inches from my face, plainly still irate. I removed my mask and looked the coach in the face. I spoke to him in a voice just loud enough to be heard by the coach but not by the crazies in the crowd. I put my hand on his shoulder and whispered in his ear, “Coach, I might have made a bad call or two tonight, but I am about to make a good one. You’re out of here. Leave the dugout now or the game is over.”

That was the last little league game I ever called.

These days, I see parents, people and politicians acting out the lesson that coach taught his kids in 1971. Since 1971, such discourtesy and childish behavior have risen like the rate of inflation. Today, arguments are often settled with weapons in city streets and in school hallways. On January 6, 2021, threats, half-truths and hatefulness infiltrated the halls of Congress.

What happened to common courtesy? Can we return to the rule of law? Where does the lack of civility end? How did we get to this point? How does it stop?

“Yes, ma’am” and “No, ma’am” remain two of the most potent and powerful phrases of respect and courteousness in our language. Unfortunately, their use is largely forgotten.

Working with an Estate Planning Attorney: Key Considerations

When you decide to begin estate planning, preparing for your initial consultation with an attorney can make the process smoother and more effective. Here are key areas to focus on before your meeting:

1. Financial Inventory: List all assets and liabilities, including bank accounts, real estate, investments, vehicles and debts. A clear overview helps your attorney recommend the best strategies.

2. Family Structure: Be ready to discuss your family, including spouses, children, stepchildren and other potential beneficiaries. This ensures your plan accounts for everyone and minimizes future conflicts.

3. Healthcare Preferences: Consider your wishes for medical care if you become incapacitated. In North Carolina, this involves Advance Directives and a Healthcare Power of Attorney.

4. Financial Preferences: Consider who you would want to manage your finances if you become incapacitated. In North Carolina, this involves the creation of a Financial Power of Attorney.

5. Guardianship for Minors: For parents, choosing a guardian for minor children is one of the most important estate planning decisions.

6. Beneficiary Designations: Review who is named on life insurance, retirement accounts and other assets, as these often override your will.

7. Business Interests: If you own a business, bring details on its structure, value and any succession plans.

8. Charitable Intentions: Think about any charitable giving you’d like included in your estate plan.

9. Existing Documents: Bring any current estate planning documents for review and possible updates.

10. Questions and Concerns: Write down any specific issues or questions you’d like to address.

Preparing these items allows your attorney to provide tailored guidance and build a plan that reflects your wishes. Estate planning isn’t one-size-fits-all, and thoughtful preparation ensures a strong, personalized plan that protects your legacy and provides peace of mind. By thoroughly preparing for your initial consultation, you’re taking a significant step towards creating a robust estate plan that will stand the test of time and provide peace of mind for you and your family.

Lost in Translation?

“Terroir” – a loaded word in the wine world

by

Terroir – it’s that “untranslatable” French word that encompasses soil, climate, winemaking traditions and geological history and those contributions to a wine.

The concept of terroir goes back in history. Perhaps the best example of the concept is found in the French region of Burgundy. For centuries, literate and disciplined members of the Benedictine and Cistercian orders cultivated grapes in much of Burgundy. Some legends have the monks tasting the soil to find out the right place to plant grapevines. Other, more believable, legends have the monks setting the boundaries of different terroirs – many of which still exist today as the Grand Cru vineyards of Burgundy.

A group of geologists spoiled the fun. They questioned whether soil and its content make any contribution at all: “The common notion that vines are able to absorb minerals from the soil which are eventually transmitted to the resulting wine is nonsense. These minerals are simply not available to the plant in any absorbable way nor in any meaningful concentration.”

They make an error that I came across often in the commercial/ business world. They give a completely accurate answer to the wrong question.

The best person to address the issue and to ask the correct question is Jancis Robinson. She is a wine expert and writer for the Financial Times. “There is considerable variation between vineyards, or even between vineyard blocks, in the atmosphere and on the grapes, including the ambient yeasts,” she says. “The challenge now is to fully explore the links between all the micro-organisms to be found in and

above vineyard soils and the soils themselves.” Way to go, Jancis.

Within the world of wine there are hundreds of examples of terroir at work. Why do wines from different regions taste the way they do? And they do. Is it due to soil, climate, winemaking traditions and geological history? The answer is “we don’t know, but we do know a few facts that define the terroir.”

Take Pinot Noirs from the Russian River region in Sonoma County, for example. Pinot Noirs from Russian River exhibit wines that are as elegant and nuanced as Pinot Noir wines from other regions. But they have a pepperiness that distinguishes them. What causes that? We don’t know but we do know some facts.

Some millions of years ago the course of the Russian River, in a geological blink of the eye, was changed when a volcano erupted. That resulted in a soil that is volcanic. The Dry Creek Valley, through which the river meanders, has a special climate. It’s covered by early morning fog and mist and then is subjected to warm sunshine.

Just one example of terroir doing its work. Is it due to soil, climate, winemakers or geological history? Or is it due to all elements working together? We don’t know. We just have peppery Pinot Noirs. And who cares? Just enjoy the wines for the unique characteristics they exhibit.

Terroir has an effect on wines. It defines where wines are from. I could go on, but terroir has an impact on how the same grape tastes – where it’s grown. That’s why the world of wine is so interesting. Try searching for different terroirs. Your taste buds will thank you. Enjoy.

Cooking Shortcut

Creamy Boursin Chicken and Spinach Orzo

Get ready for another delicious and supereasy Boursin recipe. This one-pan recipe creates a creamy Chicken and Spinach Orzo dish that’s packed with flavor. The secret? My absolute favorite cooking shortcut: Boursin cheese! This tasty cheese melts beautifully, creating a rich and flavorful cream sauce that coats every bite of chicken and orzo, proving once again why it’s the best for making dishes taste amazing with minimal effort.

If you are not familiar, Boursin cheese is a creamy, crumbly Gournay cheese, with a texture similar to cream cheese, known for its distinctive flavor of garlic and fine herbs. Originally from France, Boursin is now available worldwide and comes in various flavors such as classic garlic and herb, as well as black pepper, basil and chive, and caramelized onion and herbs. I used garlic and herb, but any of these flavors would work beautifully in this recipe.

Trust me, if you loved my Creamy Baked Boursin and Tomato pasta, you’re going to be obsessed with this, too!

Servings: 4-6

Prep time: 10 minutes

Cooking time: 20 minutes

INGREDIENTS:

1 Tbsp. olive oil

2 Tbsp. butter

1/2 medium sweet onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup uncooked orzo pasta

2.5 cups chicken or vegetable broth

1 (5.2 oz) package Boursin cheese, softened

2 cups fresh baby spinach

2 cups cooked chicken, chopped/shredded

Salt and pepper to taste

INSTRUCTIONS:

Add the oil, buttera and onion to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the onion for 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic and orzo. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring often. This helps to infuse the orzo with more flavor and toasts it a bit.

Add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Continue cooking for 10 minutes uncovered, stirring quite often. Be sure to turn the heat down to medium or even medium-low. You just want it to gently bubble, so that the liquid doesn’t reduce too much before the pasta has cooked. After the mixture has cooked for 10 minutes, taste the orzo; if it’s still crunchy, add a splash of water and cook for another 2-3 minutes until tender. Once pasta is tender and fully cooked, stir in the Boursin until smooth.

Take the skillet off the heat and stir in the spinach and chicken. Then cover for 5 minutes (off the heat) to wilt the spinach and heat the chicken through. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve.

Note: I have found that Costco has the best price for Boursin. Buy it in a 3-pack for the best price!
