Abstract:
Oriental, a town of 900 residents and 3,000 boats, well deserves the title of Sailing Capital of North Carolina. The Oriental School of Sailing, founded there in 1979, is one of more than a dozen sailing schools in North Carolina and is the state's oldest. Classes range from basic keelboat sailing to bareboat chartering and coastal navigation. There are four days of instruction, including about nine classroom hours and the remainder of the time spent on the water.

Abstract:
In the 1980s, trafficking in crack cocaine and other criminal activities plagued Charlotte's Wilmore neighborhood. The tight-knit residents knew they had to act. In the 1990s, plans for a neighborhood community center took shape. A local nonprofit agency called Charlotte Green approached the residents with the idea of developing a community garden, where neighbors could cultivate vegetables, herbs, flowers, and, most importantly, strong bonds that would help bring the neighborhood back to what it once was. In 2006, there are seven community gardens in Charlotte, and the Wilmore Community Garden, started in 1991, is still growing strong. The project cultivates more than vegetables as members of the older generation share their oral histories with their younger neighbors.
