Parks celebrate ...
(Continued from page 1C)
In the spring of 2015,
Hammocks Beach State Park
expanded, adding 289 acres,
thanks to funds from Onslow
County commissioners and organizations like the Friends of
the Hammocks and Bear Island.
“The park is looking forward
to planning what to do with this
property,” Murphy explained.
A master plan should be put in
place by the end of the year.
The park is focusing on an
improved visitorsʼ center and
expanded camp grounds. Two
other things to look for in the
future: a public boat ramp and a
childrenʼs camp.
Next year, parks throughout
North Carolina will celebrate
the centennial of the N.C. Parks
and Recreation Department.
There will be centennial events
in every park, centennial merchandise available for purchase
and 100-mile hiking challenges.
In closing, Murphy reminded
chamber members, “Parks are
an investment in our state. They
create a legacy for the future.”

Tideland News, September 2, 2015, Swansboro, N.C..–3C
Just like grandma,
and grandpa!
Alaina Ladner and Kimberly
Turner are best friends. Itʼs easy
to tell. They laugh at the same
inside jokes. They finish each
otherʼs sentences. And they
have the same passion for baking gained from an equally passionate grandparent.
“I learned to bake watching
my grandmother,” Turner explained. “She was the cake lady,
and when she passed away I got
a lot of her cake supplies.”
For Ladner, it was her grandfather.
“I liked to watch him,” she
remembered. “He was always
baking. And he would let me
make what I like to call ʻmy
concoctions.ʼ”
So, Ladner and Turner,
(military spouses who became
friends while stationed in Hawaii), began their respective
baking businesses out of their
homes at first. But teaming up
seemed to be where the business was leading them when
both found themselves relocated
to the same military base again
(Camp Lejeune). Word of their
talents spread and customers
began to request a storefront for
the array of cakes and cupcakes
and other sweet treats.
The next move was obvious: a bakery partnership in
Swansboro, and Frosted Cakery
LLC was born.
“We really feel we filled a
void in Swansboro,” Turner
stated. The bakery, conveniently
located next to the Swansboro
Post Office, is Swansboroʼs
only bakery where cakes, cupcakes and cookies are created
fresh on site.
Now, the two ––––––––

begin their days
at 7 a.m., baking ––––––––
and decorating
their wares to fill both the glass
cases for walk-ins and any special orders. By 10 a.m., when
the bakery opens, the aroma of
vanilla fills the air, tempting
passersby every time the door
opens.
Basic flavors, like vanilla
and chocolate, are always available. What would a bakery be
without them? But this bakery
is filled with more than just
tradition. Try the Maple bacon
(brown sugar cake topped with
maple butter cream frosting and
bacon), the coffee bean (vanilla
cake topped with coffee, butter
cream frosting and chocolatecovered coffee beans), or the
burning love (chocolate cake
with cayenne pepper and cinnamon butter cream frosting).
Of course, thereʼs always that
Southern classic, red velvet
with cream cheese frosting.
Yummy!
On an average week, over
100 dozen cupcakes are bought
by their loyal customer base.
“Everything we bake is made
fresh to order … never frozen,”
Alaina Ladner, left, and Kimberly
Turner, owners of Frosted Cakery, disLadner emphasized. “We bake
like your grandmother used to
bake, with the best ingredients.
We make our own butter cream
frostings and fondant, too. It
really makes a difference!”
They usually have 8-10 fla-

vors in the display case to pick
from, plus monster cookies
(mostly gluten-free) and Puppy
Chow (the sweet, human version made with Chex cereal.)
Donʼt worry if youʼre gluten-free. You havenʼt been
left out. Frosted
Cakery features
at least one thing
every day that is
gluten free and
most cookies are
flourless. Other
delectable treats
include devil

Fritz toffee.
Grab your favorite, plus a coffee or cold drink,

Homegrown grocer
Walk into Lowes Foods
and itʼs immediately apparent:
All grocery stores are not created equal. Vibrant, colorful
and incredibly fresh produce
greets you at the door, turning
what you may view as a weekly
chore into a weekly treat.
Yes, regardless of your personal feelings about grocery
shopping, going to the grocery
store is one of lifeʼs necessities.
So why not do something to
make this ongoing event a bit
more pleasant … or, dare we
say, interesting? It may be as
simple as re-evaluating where
you shop.
Located in Cape Carteret
since 2001, Lowes Foods, a
North Carolina-based company,
prides itself on super-fresh
choices coupled with savings
programs to help customers get
what they need at reasonable
prices.
So, why exactly do customers drive right by some of
Lowesʼ competitors in the area
to shop at this super store?
“There are many reasons to
shop with us,” Store Manager
John Golden explained. “First
off, our food is fresh and well
priced. We also try to treat every shopper like a guest. I think
our guest services are much better than our competition.”
For instance, “Barn Burner”
specials are an easy way to save
on staples, according to Golden.
“This is a program that runs
all year long. We take every
day items such as sodas, chips,
peanut butter and toilet paper,
for example, and put them on
sale for an entire month, so
customers can
––––––––
really stock up
on things they
Spotlight
buy the most,”
––––––––
he said.
Hungry for a quick dinner?
Lowes Foods has a fresh-as-itgets salad bar. The deli cooks
everything in-house, including
chickens (both fried and baked)
that are fresh, never frozen.
Boars Head meats, cheeses and
condiments are available. And
all prepared salads are made
fresh as well. (Try the chicken
salad – yummy!)
Check out the bakery for
fresh baked cakes, breads and
cookies and the pick and prep
wall in the produce department
for convenient, prepped fruits
and veggies.
If seafood is on the menu,
Lowes Foods has lots to pick
from, including live lobster.
They will even steam your seafood to order.
Lowes Foods makes a fast
and tasty lunch. Sushi, sandwiches, subs, wraps – all are
made in-store. Chicken tenders
from the deli also make a great
anytime snack.
Having a party? Relieve
preparation stress by trying one
of Lowesʼ ready-to-serve trays,
such as Boarʼs Head meat and
John Golden, manager of the Lowes
Food in Cape Carteret, is pictured in
cheese platter, a sandwich tray,
a fruit or veggie tray, or a European dessert tray … always
fresh and made to order. What
a great way to entertain with
ease!
Floral arrangements and gift
baskets (like a yummy fruit basket) are also available.
“We try to buy
local whenever possible,” Golden noted.
“We also try to prepare as much as possible within the store.
Even a lot of our
meats are cut in the
store.”
But before you
begin your shopping
excursion, make sure
you have a Lowes
Fresh Rewards card.

Three make for great BAH!
The Swansboro Area Chamber of Commerceʼs August

trifecta … Southern Coast Realty Group LLC, By the Sea

Swansboro Paddle Boarding
were our hosts.
Swansboro Paddle Boarding cooked up fresh-caught fish
complete with all the fixinʼs
for chamber members, and

prepared by Nancy Morton of
By the Sea – A Consignment
Boutique and Gigi Robles of

Using social media
requires restraint
At some point, we all have
the urge to utilize social media
to express our opinions on a variety of topics and issues. From
political to personal, it is harder
than ever to escape the impulse
to voice our thoughts in this
new public forum. I recently
found this article that outlines
a few key points for what I call
“Social Media Etiquette.” I
greatly endorse the use of social
media in business, but also want
to point out the importance of
responsible use.
What a person says or does
on social media can come back
to haunt him or her with regard
to the impression they create
with prospective employers and
customers. Questionable antics and comments may reflect
negatively on a person without
him or her even realizing it.
According to a study by Reppler, a social media monitoring
service, 91 percent of employers use social media channels
such as Twitter, Facebook and
LinkedIn to screen prospective
employees.
Many people are completely
unaware how others view them
through their social media
profiles and usage, but social
media profiles give away more
information about a personʼs
character and personality than
many people would ever imagine. Even seemingly innocent
remarks and observations can
be misconstrued. Use of profanity or offering commentary on
controversial subjects may be a
personʼs right. However, such
comments may not sit well with
prospective employers or customers.
Some may think the solution
is not to have profiles on the
popular social media sites. But
avoiding social media entirely
can send the wrong message
to prospective employers. It
may suggest that you are not a
person who is current with the
latest trends in technology and
may give employers the impression that you are not adept at
keeping up with the changing
times.
The key is finding the right
balance with social media. The
following are a few tips to ensure your social media usage
does not do more harm than
good …
• Do not post or tweet information that should be kept
private. If you would not tell
––––––––
President’s
Message

––––––––
intimate secrets
to another person, especially
an employer,
do not convey
these details to
your group of
“friends.”
• Recognize that itʼs not always your comments that can
affect perceptions of you. The
friends you choose to accept
and socialize with via social
media can impact how others
view you. If friends are prone
to vulgarity and off-color commentary, employers may surmise that this type of behavior
is acceptable to you. Screen
friends and block those who do
not meet your standards.
• Know that security features
on social media applications
change frequently. Itʼs important to know just how private
your information may be. For
example, if you are tagged in
another personʼs photo, people
outside of your friendsʼ list may
be able to see that image. You
have to police your sites and
lock down the information as
you see fit, only posting what
is appropriate for the general
public.
• Do not complain about
customers, your job or boss
publicly. Even if your boss is
not on your list of friends, he
or she may still learn about
your comments through gossip.
While verbal complaints with
others may not be accurately
tracked back to you, text is hard
evidence to discredit.
• Use social media as a
networking tool to find other
like-minded individuals in the
same fields. Join industry-based
groups and organizations so
that you can share your ideas.
Further expanding your reach
through blogs and websites can
also help in a job hunt.
Social media is here to stay,
making many details of peopleʼs lives more public, so exercise caution with social media
so your career is not negatively
affected.
