Still offering Tuesday Dinner and Friday Pub Night
From the kitchen
By Cheryle Syracuse and Bill Fordyce
NeighborhoodNews
At a Culinary Adventures luncheon late last spring, a group of diners talked about old-time family food favorites that we dont
often see any more. One of the foods that they thought about and remembered (maybe fondly) was molded Jell-O salads.
Cypress Ridge resident Randi Upham
doesnt think Jell-O salads are pass or
out of style. Molded gelatin salads are
traditional with her family and she always
makes them for family events. Although
she is known for her gourmet cooking,
Upham says that there are gourmet
foods and then there are family foods
and Jell-O defnitely fts into the family
category. She remembers her mom being
very creative as she was growing up and
putting a variety of healthy and nutritious
tidbits into her gelatin salads. She still
has (and uses) some of her moms copper
Jell-O molds.

Randis answer to the question about

what happened to Jell-O molds is to
share two of her favorites. One she tra-
ditionally serves at Christmas (and she
thinks it was used at a Culinary Adven-
tures December luncheon a couple of
years ago). Te other has more of a sum-
mer theme.
J E L L - O!
Whatever happened
to Jell-O molds?
Randi Upham in the kitchen
Cranberry Relish Mold
Ingredients
3 ounces orange gelatin powder
tsp salt
1 cup orange juice
16 ounces cranberry sauce -- whole berry
cup chopped walnuts
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp grated orange peel
cup Miracle Whip
1 large orange peeled and separated into
segments
1 large Granny Smith apple -- unpeeled

Directions
Dice the apple and orange into small
bowl. Add orange peel and lemon juice.
Chill. Note: take the zest from the
orange before peeling. Bring orange juice
to a boil in large glass container in the
microwave. Dissolve gelatin in boiling
orange juice. Add salt. Carefully stir
in Miracle Whip. Chill until slightly
thickened. Add gelatin mixture to fruit.
Stir in cranberry sauce and walnuts. Mix
ingredients well. Pour into fve-cup
mold. Chill until set, at least three hours.
Summertime Carrot Carousel Gelatin
Mold
Ingredients
2 envelopes unfavored gelatin
1 cups orange juice cold, divided
cup orange juice boiling
tsp salt
1 cup salad dressing mayo type
2 cups shredded carrots
1 (13 ounce) can crushed pineapple
dont drain
Directions
Sprinkle gelatin over one half cup cold
orange juice in blender container. Allow
to stand while assembling remaining
ingredients. Add boiling orange juice;
cover and process at low speed (in the
blender) until gelatinis dissolved. If gela-
tin clings to side of container, use rubber
spatula to push it into the mixture. When gelatin is dissolved,
add remaining orange juice, salt and salad dressing. When well
blended, add to shredded carrots and pineapple. Pour into a six-
cup mold. Chill several hours until frm.
Unmold and garnish with carrot curls.

Randi Upham is one of the founders and co-chairs of the

Culinary Adventures interest group in Winding River. Tis
group will be starting their eighth year this month. Originally
called the Gourmet Lunch group, they changed their name to
Culinary Adventures a few years agobecause the group enjoys
more than gourmet foods. Sometimes the group brings back
old favorites or has themes that wouldnt necessarily be called
gourmet. Each month a group of women serve as hostesses
for that months Culinary Adventures luncheon. Te hostesses
plan the menu based on a specifc theme. Being a hostess allows
members to be creative and show their personalities. Members
are assigned to diferent homes each month and are given a
recipe which they prepare and bring to the luncheon. Recipes
are assigned so one person doesnt always get the hard jobs.
Although many enjoy using their fne china and tablecloths
when its their turn, Upham is quick to say that isnt a require-
ment. Teyve had everything from plastic ware on the deck to
moms crystal. Anything goes! Tats part of the fun!

Beyond the fun of cooking and eating delicious food is the

opportunity to meet new people and get to know them in small
groups at each luncheon. Not every menu item is a winner, but
thats part of the enjoyment and learning process. Te group
welcomes new members at any time during the year. Starting
with just 24 members in 2006, there were 60 members last year.
Tere is a $10 per person membership fee per year and cost of
the meals is split by all attending. Luncheons are usually the
third Friday of most months September through May. Mem-
bers are encouraged serve as hostess or co-hostess at least once
during the year.

Tis luncheon group is for women only; spouses are invited

once a year to an evening event at the POC. Randi has
expressed a willingness to work with couples that may be inter-
ested in doing something similar to the Culinary Adventures
luncheon in the evening. For more information on the Culinary
Adventures group contact Randi or co-chair Pat Herrmann.

S
ome Winding River residents helped with the Brunswick
Novant Medical Center open house on July 16, 2011. Many
more residents are volunteering their time and energy to our
local hospitals. Some of the volunteers are working in the Gift
Shop ( Judie Braak, Mary Shrefer, Wendy Cifelli, and Jane
Korczynski), emergency room, laboratory, pharmacy, surgical
waiting areas, surgical charts (Maggie Holcomb), and customer
services (Carole Loof ). Home volunteers donate knit blankets,
quilts, teddy bears, and purple knit caps for infants under a
National Campaign for Keeping Babies Safe. Hospitals also
have a team of volunteer Chaplains who provide for the spiri-
tual needs of hospital patients. Some hospitals have a student
volunteer program, thrift store and/or nurse volunteer programs.
Many other volunteer positions are also available. Individual
skills and interests can be matched for volunteer opportunity
positions to help others and bring individual personal fulfll-
ment.
Te Brunswick Novant Hospital Auxiliary is a member of the
North Carolina Hospital Volunteers (NCHV) origination.
Te purpose of this organization is to enhance the quality of
health care throughout North Carolina. Hospitals strive to
meet requirements for a fve star award and special projects to
improve patient services. Tese activities include fund rais-
ing events such as book, uniform, and jewelry sales. Te funds
received from these events are given for scholarships to local
students in the community or buying items needed for improv-
ing hospital care, such as wheel chairs. Other special projects
such as a Compassionate Clothes Closet improve patient ser-
vices.
Trough their generous donation of time and talent, volunteers
help us deliver the high quality, compassionate care that our
patients and their families deserve, Deborah Rochelle said. In
return, many of our volunteers say they appreciate the experi-
ence of helping others. Deborah Rochelle is the manager of
Service Excellence and Volunteer Services at Brunswick Novant
Medical Center. If anyone is interested in volunteering contact
Deborah Rochelle at 910-721-1484 or email dbrochelle@nov-

On March 9, 1764, the governor of North Carolina signed
the legislative act that created Brunswick County out of New
Hanover and Bladen Counties. Te Brunswick Town court-
house was moved to Wilmington and Supply was selected as
the new county seat for Brunswick County. Supply was chosen
mainly because of the easy river access for boats and an existing
bridge over the river (at that time called the Lockwood Folly
Bridge) that provided access for wagons and horses. Te court-
house and goal (English word for jail) was temporarily set up in
the home of John Bell, one of the newly appointed justices, who
lived on the banks of the Lockwood Folly River. Because of the
infation of the war years, the actual courthouse building wasnt
completed until 1786 even though the state passed a law that
provided funds in March 1779. In 1808, the county seat was
moved to Smithville (now Southport).
In the early 1800s, roads were constructed from Wilmington
to Georgetown, South Carolina. Tese roads were mostly sand
and nearly impassable; therefore, the river continued to be the
easiest mode of transportation for trade. In 1804, Daniel Bel-
lune sold his plantation, tavern and ferry "on Lockwood's River
to the county to create one of the busiest trading posts estab-
lished in the 1820s. Tis trading post was originally called the
Old Georgetown Way, even shortened to Old G.W., but
locals fnally named it Supply in the late 1860s. As late as 1898,
Supply was listed on a post ofce update called Lockwoods
Folly. In 1837, the frst post ofce was temporarily opened and
Supply, NC (correctly pronounced Soup-pli)
The History Corner
Where Do You Live?
a permanent post ofce was constructed in 1857. By the early
1900s, there were six stores, two turpentine distilleries, two saw-
mills and a cotton gin. Salt making was a proftable enterprise
and there were salt works along the Lockwood Folly River near
Supply. From a county courthouse site, to a busy supply land-
ing, to a prosperous trading post, Supply has transformed into a
welcoming community for Winding River residents.

Supply, located in the area between Doe Creek (frst bridge on Stone Chimney Road heading to Holden Beach)
and Lockwood Folly River, was never a village, town, or city but was considered a supply site and the location
of the frst courthouse for Brunswick County.

Cat on the Lam
By Skip and Colleen Brosh
Monday, August 8th, started out like any other day, but that evening we had a big surprise. Sinatra, our indoor
cat of seven years, escaped outside. Sinatra, a Ragdoll cat, had always been an indoor cat. We had been caring
for him since 2004, ever since our son, his original owner, moved to a no pets allowed home. He quickly became
a member of our family, with his own fountain to drink from (he wont drink from a bowl), and habits that we
indulge. He likes to go in the tub and have cool water from the faucet rain down on his head. Who wouldnt?
As we tried to piece together how he
escaped, we realized it was due to Sina-
tras devotion to me. Late that night, we
realized the air conditioner was not run-
ning correctly. I went through the garage
to the outside to check the AC unit, and
unbeknownst to me, Sinatra followed me
out too. I returned to the house, closing
the door before Sinatra had a chance to
follow. When we discovered he was gone,
every room was searched, every cupboard
opened. How could he get out? While
Sinatra liked to look outside into the
great outdoors, he had never showed any
interest in joining in the fun. We sent out
a River Note, appealing to our neighbors
here in Winding River for help.
On August 10th around 5pm we got a
call from Dottie Reynolds, who lives in
Autumn Chase. Tey had spotted Sinatra
and he was seen running into the storm
drain of of Goley Hewitt Road. Col-
leen and I quickly went there, armed with
treats. Colleen was posted on the Goley
Hewitt entrance with me at the other end
by the back of the Hofmann's house.

I could see Sinatra with a fashlight, hud-

dled in the drain. I went back to tell Col-
leen; when I got to her she was holding
Sinatra. She was able to coax him out by
shaking a bowl with his food in it. After
two days going hungry, he didn't take
much coaxing. Te next day I took Sina-
tra to his vet and he was given a clean bill
of health. We can't thank the community
enough for theirpositive thoughts and all
around genuine concern. What a great
community we live in!

I was to blame for Sinatra's escape and

made to write on the blackboard 500
times. "Pay attention to where the cat is."

I
ts been a while since I wrote some new news about
the ABCPOA. For those of you not familiar with the
ABCPOA, this acronym stands for Alliance of Brunswick
County Property Owners Association. Te organization has
just increased our community membership from 12 to 15 mem-
ber POA/HOAs. In addition to Winding River Plantation,
other members include larger communities such as St. James
and Ocean Ridge as well as smaller communities like Oyster
Harbour and River Sea.
Te ABCPOA is a non-partisan association that was created
to develop a forum to discuss common concerns and issues in
order to approach county and state governments with a unifed
voice and to assure as much as possible that our comments and
position were considered and addressed.
Te November 2010 election resulted in a lot of new faces in
the NC Legislature and in turn, an unprecedented numbers of
bills introduced in the state legislature that could impact HOAs
and POAs. Some of the bills were well intended while oth-
ers were not very well written, vague and missed the target for
which they were intended. We, the ABCPOA, have regular
communication with our county and state legislators to try and
assure that the outcome of these actions are in the best inter-
ests of Brunswick County residents as I record in my quarterly
report to the Winding River POA Board of Directors. Some of
our member communities dont have these regular information
tools and one of our members was asked, what do you guys
(and ladies) do? We wanted to tell our entire member boards
what weve been involved in at a joint meeting.
On Friday, March 13, we held an ABCPOA Board of Directors
Forum in the Event Center of the Odell Williamson Auditori-
um. At that meeting we had speakers discuss issues and actions
relative to things such as annexation, Coastal Homeowners
Insurance Issues, transportation, HOA legislation, foreclosures,
planning/zoning and property reassessment and budgets. Te
speakers included, among others, State Senator Bill Rabon,
State Representative Frank Iler, NC State DOT District Engi-
By Phil Sloat
(ABCPOA)Update
Alliance of Brunswick County
Property Owners Association
neer Allen Pope, John Stone from CAI and a member of the
NC State Legislative Action Committee and Brunswick Coun-
ty Commissioner Chairman Bill Sue. It was a full program
flled with an abundance of information. Te audience consisted
of 55-60 HOA/POA directors from our member communities
as well as the ABCPOA directors from these communities.
Te forum proved to be a very successful information exchange
based on the results of the Evaluation Survey that was compiled
at the conclusion of the meeting. Because of that response as
well as active participation, our plans are to hold another forum
in 2013. Tat will be in addition to our semi-annual Meet the
Candidates Night, which we present at the Odell Williamson
Auditorium. Our next session will be in October 2012. Watch
out for future River News and River Notes information with
details about that informative session next year. If you are inter-
ested in joining one of the ABCPOA committees, please con-
tact Phil Sloat, phils@atmc.net or 910-755-2490.

Some varieties of annuals (did I ever know there were actual
varieties?) are susceptible to soil borne diseases that cause
lesions on their stems referred to as root rot. Tis slimy brown
appearance is seen locally on vincas and pansies but I also found
it on my painted daisy growing in a wooden barrel I brought
with me from New York. If your neighbors annuals look great
and yours do not, they may have chosen (or just got lucky
enough) a resistant variety. Next spring when you buy your
annuals, ask about root rot resistance before you purchase your
colorful plants. Provide good drainage for your annuals. Want
more information? Tere is actually a Department of Soil Sci-
ence at NC State www.soil.ncsu.edu/.
Lawns can also look pretty healthy in the fall and then a few
days later look awful. If this happens to you, suspect fall army-
worms. If you suddenly see large numbers of birds feeding in
your grass, be worried and start looking. Tere are insecticides
that will kill them in the early stages, but you wont want this
problem to go untreated for very long. Once they reach adult
size they can seriously damage what greenery you have left.
Check out http://wiki.bugwood.org/Fall Armyworm.
Heres a tip I didnt know about young plants --- they are much
more afected by weeds than I understood. If you want heartier
plants, be willing to prevent or remove early weeds from their
growing area. After all, the weeds need nutrients too and steal
them from your plant. http://www.provident-living-today.com/
Garden-Weeds.html#TreeReasons
I was really happy to learn about fall vegetable crops in North
Carolina. Once the ground begins to cool of you can directly
seed spinaches and lettuces in the garden. What a nice way
to welcome in the autumn season. In a fat planter, you could
do this right on your deck or even screen porch. As October
approaches plant onion and garlic sets directly in the soil for
harvest around Tanksgiving. Healthy seedlings of cucumbers,
broccoli and caulifower might grow well in Brunswick County
and cabbage, Swiss chard and collards have a good chance of
surviving. Since my summer plot in the community garden was
sparse, I will be taking all this information to heart and trying
it out in Cypress Ridge. If you want to see how its going, come
visit me there! I welcome any help handling the weeds! And, I
heard cutworms need to be taken care of if they strike my crops.
Te episode of Te Coastal Gardener ended by recommending a
new ornamental tree for consideration: the hearty olive. With
year round foliage, compact mature height and the potential for
fruit, this tree might thrive in Southeastern North Carolina and
decorate our Winding River home.

Leter
By Eileen Ceponis
Letterboxing, named after the British
term for mailbox, is a treasure hunt that
involves trail names, clues, directions and
more. Te hunt for treasure can take
you to remote areas and scenic vistas.
It involves a combination of art, skills
and tracking abilities. According to the
website --- Letterboxing.org --- it started
when a gentleman simply left his calling
card in a bottle by a remote pool on the
moors of Dartmoor in England. He then
challenged his friends to add their call-
ing cards --- if they could fnd the bottle.
Te location is determined by the person
who plans the trails and hides the bottle.
Te trail name often signifes something
important or familiar, such as Big Birds
Trail or Egret Lake.
Te game is simple. Pick a city or state
that you want to explore. Going to the
website, you can learn how many treasure
sites there are to fnd. After picking one,
the hunter can download the trail name,
along with the clues or map with direc-
tions. Te directions may be clear-cut,
or quite cryptic. You may need a map or
a compass, but not necessarily. You will
need an ink pad, your personal stamp, perhaps a pencil, and/or a
compass. You should also carry your personal log book.
Te directions may ask you to fnd fallen trees or iron benches.
Count of paces, fnd the crook in the trail, look north, and then
turn left are all examples of directions that may be given. When
the location is determined, it is time to fnd the treasure box. It
must be done with stealth and cunning, as you do not want to
alert anyone watching you to its location. Te treasure box is
a waterproof box (often in a beautiful, scenic or remote area).
Te box contains a logbook and a carved stamp. Tere may be
additional booty as well. Tis treasure will have been hidden by
someone who plays the game and prepared the trail. Selecting a
location and writing the clues is one part of the fun for both the
hider, and the treasure seeker.
Upon discovering the treasure, the hunter can peruse the log-
book, and then place his own stamp in it, along with their sig-
nature and any comments so desired. He then stamps his own
logbook with the stamp provided in the treasure box. Tis trea-
sure boxs logbook will contain the stamp of all who have pre-
ceded you. My sister found one logbook dating back to 2006.
Ancient? No --- Fun? Yes.
Tere are over 20,000 treasure sites in North America. Tis
could be a great adventure for a grandparent to take with their
grandchild, or friends to do together. For more information, or
to plan your own adventure, go to Letterboxing.org.
While in the Outer Banks with my family for a yearly vacation, I learned about an
international game that can be played by anyone with a computer and the ability
to follow directions. The game is called letterboxing.

by Loretta Acheson
So much wine, so little time!
North of San Francisco is the Napa Valley, a place world-renowned for its wineries and vineyardsvineyards as far as
the eye can see. With mountains on each side, the valley has a Mediterranean climate and abundant sunshine with fer-
tile soils that are perfect for growing grapes. And along with the Sonoma Valley just west of Napa, there are over 400
wineries! Its one of the premier travel destinations not only because of the wineries, but because it has breathtaking
views around every turn and in every season. And its small towns and villages ofer perfect fun places to explore.
Armchair
A Napa Valley, California Adventure
No matter if you are into wine tasting, dining at renowned res-
taurants like the French Laundry, taking adventures like hot air
balloon rides, or pampering yourself in a spa, Napa Valley is a
great place to visit.
And so, with wine glass and corkscrew in hand, several Winding
River couples embarked on a trip that had us tasting wines at
times of the day when you would probably just be having your
Cheeriosbut we had so many wines to taste that we had to
start early!
Te Winding River Winers (lets use winers in a positive
sense!) set of to Rombauer frst. We sampled several wines and,
as in all the wineries we visited, we were told about the wine
as we tasted. Most wineries have tasting rooms and in several
of the wineries, there is a nominal charge for the tastings so be
prepared for that. And in many wineries, they have tours that
will take you from the vineyards to the crush, to learn about
the winemaking process.
Next on our list was Artesa Winery. Tis is one of the most
unique looking wineries in that it is built into the hill where
many other wineries have a look of a French Chateau. Tis win-
ery is also known for its art collection and sculptures. Loretta
Achesons friend is head of the marketing there and so we got
the red carpet treatment, with a sign and sparkling wine wel-
coming all 13 of us as we arrived for our tour and tasting.
On to V. Sattui Winery, where we had a picnic lunch outside
under a tree arbor this winery has a gourmet shop and Ital-
ian marketplace where you can buy a delicious array of foods
for your picnicor you can bring your own. And of course, we
enjoyed the picnic with more wine!
Another winery we visited was Sterling Vineyards where you
ride up to the winery in an aerial tram. Te views from there
were spectacularespecially since it was in October and we
were treated to some fall colors of the vineyards. We visited
other smaller wineriestoo many to mention (actually to
remember!) but thats part of the adventuredriving on the
Silverado Trail and stopping when a winery name or whatever
catches your eye.
Tuesday morning was to be a hot air balloon ride, which means
early morningvery early morning. But the winds didnt coop-
erate so it got cancelled and rescheduled for the next day, only
to be cancelled again. But we found other adventures insteada
boat tour just for our group of the Napa River providing us
views of Napa which most people probably dont get to see
and then we did a walk about, window shopping in the village
of Calistoga.
So you might want to plan a visit to Napa Valleyplan on at
least two to three days. But whether you enjoy a taste of wine
while sitting in your armchair, sipping along with friends or
touring the many wineries in Napa, I raise my glass to you and
say: cheers, proost, a votre sant, slinte, l'chaim, salute, na
zdrowie, skl, or salud y amor y tiempo para disfrutarlo (thats
how they toast in the other Bolivia.)

Bird Feeder
Watching birds in your garden and at feeders is one
of the most pleasurable ways to enjoy nature. On
wintry days, their liveliness, colors and sounds are
a source of fascination and joy. Now, with win-
ter approaching, it is a good time to set up a
feeder in your garden this fall so the birds in
your area add your garden to their winter
feeding rounds.
Where to Put Your Feeder
Start with one or two feeders and
increase the number as you learn which
foods and feeders the birds prefer. Place
the feeders so you can watch them easily
from a convenient window. Also, when
the feeders are in sight, you'll see when
they need to be flled or cleaned.
Hang feeders near shrubs or trees so birds
have nearby cover and an escape route
from predators such as sharp-shinned
hawks. In extremely windy areas, choose
sheltered locations for the feeders.
The Best Bird Seeds
Black oil sunfower seeds are relished by
chickadees, evening grosbeaks, cardinals
and fnches, and are less attractive to
non-native sparrows and starlings. White
proso millet is the best small seed, espe-
cially attractive to juncos and sparrows
in winter. Goldfnches prefer thistle seed
(also called niger), which also attracts
house fnches and pine siskins.
Outwitting Unwanted Visitors
Squirrels are a major nemesis of bird
feeders. In some areas, so are raccoons
and rats. Luckily, there are several types
of feeders and tips about placement that
will help deter visits by uninvited guests.
Squirrels
To prevent squirrels from reaching the
feeder, use one that includes an attached
bafe or that has a funnel-shaped top.
You can also buy bafes separately and
attach them to your favorite feeder.
Elevate the feeder at least fve feet of the
ground. Place it eight to 10 feet from the
nearest building and overhanging tree
branches.
Raccoons
To protect post-mounted feeders from
raccoons, attach a cone shield with
an 18-inch radius on the post below
the feeder (at least four feet above the
ground). To prevent raccoons and dogs
from carrying of suet, place it in a wire
or mesh enclosure and hang it well above
the ground.
Pest Birds
If larger birds such as grackles are a problem,
choose feeders designed for small birds, such
as a thistle tube or hanging globe.
Fall Cleanup
Birds have four basic needs: food, water,
shelter from predators and the elements,
and safe nesting places. In addition to
setting out feeders to provide food, start-
ing this fall you can help birds meet their
needs in the following ways.
Provide fresh water in a shallow con-
tainer. Water should be no more than
two inches deep. In winter, it is especially
important to keep the water ice-free by
changing it frequently or by using an
immersion-type water heater designed
for outdoor use.
Landscapes with abundant trees and
shrubs, and a relatively small lawn, are
most attractive to birds. To enhance your
garden with plants that provide natural
food shelter, develop a landscape plan this
winter in preparation for spring planting.
