March 7, 2011 (Raleigh, NC) – CPR for RTP? In the March issue of Raleigh Metro Magazine, Jim Hughes writes that that Research Triangle Park is losing ground as the site of choice for science-based, bio-medical and high tech research firms.
“The last 10 years have been the toughest since its founding. The pace of growth has slowed dramatically. For the first time in its history, the Park is losing ground in the competition for the cutting-edge technology companies that once were its birthright. Some of its biggest tenants, including IBM and Glaxo, are going through significant retrenchments, while others, like Nortel and Ericsson, have simply vanished into the ether,” says Hughes.
Raleigh Metro Magazine is also reporting that the battle lines are forming for war between major hospitals in the Triangle region. Raleigh’s Wake Med shot off the first salvo, accusing UNC Health Systems of violating acceptable practices designed to steal business from Wake Med. Bill Atkinson, CEO of Wake Med, tells Metro: “Probably the best example, the strongest example, came when we discovered that UNC has filed a special plan to modify reimbursements for any physician associated in any form or fashion with them. This gives them a distinct upper hand over anyone in the state, not just us.”

About Raleigh Metro Magazine:
Established in 1999, Raleigh Metro Magazine is a monthly publication covering North Carolina from the Research Triangle area to the coast, with a readership of 160,000. It is available at book stores, selected newsstands and online at www.metronc.com.
April 19, 2010 (RALEIGH, NC) – Bernie Reeves, editor and publisher of Raleigh Metro Magazine, was presented with the annual Isosceles Award from the American Institute of Architects/Triangle section during an awards ceremony held Friday, April 17 in Durham. The award honors decades of service to the profession of architecture.
Reeves, son of the late Ralph Reeves AIA, principal of the award-winning firm Holloway-Reeves in Raleigh, instituted regular coverage of architecture and preservation in 1978 in his weekly Spectator Magazine, the first general interest publication nationally to feature architecture as regular, scheduled content.
Spectator Design Editor Kim Devins Weiss worked with Reeves to launch the Triangle Architecture Awards Program in the early 1980s. The awards program, that attracted noted jurors from across the nation, eventually evolved into the Isosceles Awards sponsored by AIA Triangle.
The Spectator also founded and published North Carolina Architect magazine for six years in collaboration with AIA North Carolina.
Reeves continues to underscore the importance of the built environment – and architects and designers – in his monthly Raleigh Metro Magazine that features complete design pieces by Diane Lea and the monthly Form+Function column covering architectural news by Mike Welton.
“As architects, we have always had a champion in Bernie Reeves,” said multi-award-winning Raleigh architect Frank Harmon, FAIA.
According to AIA Triangle, “The purpose of the AIA Triangle Isosceles Award is to recognize individuals, institutions, associations, or companies outside the profession of architecture who, in collaboration with AIA Triangle members, have made significant contributions to the improvement of the built environment” including “activities that raise the public’s consciousness of the importance of excellent design in shaping the appearance and quality of the environment we live in.”
Bernie Reeves stated: “This award is a great honor that should be shared with Kim Weiss and Diane Lea for their dedication and commitment to architecture in the pages of Spectator, North Carolina Architect and Metro Magazine.”
March 13, 2010 (RALEIGH, NC) – A column by food writer Carroll Leggett originally published in Raleigh Metro Magazine is included in Corn Bread Nation 5, The Best of Southern Writing, available at bookstores and on the Internet April 15. The column, titled “Soft Shell Science,” is the second time one of Leggett’s monthly “Between You and Me” columns in Metro has been selected for inclusion in this popular series from the Southern Foodways Alliance.
Three other Triangle food experts are included in Corn Bread Nation 5 along with Leggett: John Shelton Reed of Chapel Hill; Ben Barker, chef and co-owner of Magnolia Grill in Durham; and cookbook author and publisher Fred Thompson of Raleigh.
Leggett’s October 2008 column took Metro readers to Hyde County and Debbie’s Crab Ranch located near Belhaven. Leggett introduced readers to the “Crab Whisperer” and discovered little known information about North Carolina’s home-grown soft shell crab industry and the lives and ways of soft shell crabs.
“Of all the things one might order in a restaurant, diners probably know the least about soft shell crabs and how they make their way to the table,” said Leggett. “Researching the Metro article gave me a chance to meet interesting, native North Carolinians who have always lived on or near the water. Their heads are full of the science of soft shell crabs, and my great joy was trying to pry just a small amount of it out to be shared with Metro readers and, soon, I hope, viewers of a film being produced in cooperation with my long-time friend and professional associate Gregg Jamback with Swiftwater Media of Winston-Salem.”
Chapel Hill author and southern food aficionado Marcie Ferris writes in the Forward to the new book: “Food reflects our national and regional culture as surely as do the fields of art, folklore, geography, history, literature, music, politics and religion. The problem with the study of food is food itself. If only food were more arcane, less accessible, less popular, not so sensual or comforting, even divisive, its study would surely find a place in the hallowed halls of the academy.”
Fred Sauceman, author and food writer and Associate Professor of Appalachian Studies at East Tennessee State University, edited the book along with John T. Edge of the University of Mississippi. It is published by The University of Georgia Press. For more information: www.ugapress.org/index.php/books/cornbread_nation5.

Carroll is active in the Southern Foodways Alliance and often writes about food and foodways. He writes a monthly column for MetroMagazine, is a contributing editor to Edible Piedmont, and has written restaurant reviews and other articles for Winston-Salem Living magazine. He is cited in Holy Smoke: The Big Book of North Carolina Barbecue published by UNC Press. He also contributed to the book, North Carolina Tobacco.

November 2008 (RALEIGH, NC) – Educating potential gang members, an anti-literary epidemic, “real education,” and college prep scams are only three of the subjects covered in Raleigh Metro Magazine’s annual Education Report, on newsstands now in the November edition.
Senior writer Liza Roberts celebrates the efforts of one dedicated retired teacher from Los Angeles battling Durham’s high school drop-out and gang involvement through EDGE, a special school she founded that keeps kids off the street and helps them steer their lives back on track. EDGE stands for Education, Development, Growth and Employment. Despite the school’s quantifiable success, its future is threatened by a severe lack of funding.
Education expert George Leef discusses the concepts behind The Dumbest Generation, a new book by Emory University English professor Mark Bauerlein that insists technology is creating an anti-literacy epidemic, resulting in thin vocabularies and short attention spans.
“Bauerlein explains that the style of reading that young people adopt from their Internet immersion is marked by very limited vocabulary, aversion to lengthy passages and ‘scanning’ rather than close reading,” Leef writes. “Most Internet material is written with those habits in mind – quick, easy, chatty.” The problem with this? “Serious thinking depends on the ability to read and analyze difficult material,” he asserts.
Leef also takes a look at Charles Murray’s radical new book Real Education, “debunking the idea that because college graduates have higher average earnings we should try to put more kids through college.” Murray rocked the academic world with his first book, Losing Ground, an equally controversial look at conventional liberal viewpoints.
Nathan Allen, the author of several books on college testing, bares the truth about college prep courses in an article entitled “Are You Being Scammed?” What he reveals could save parents a bundle of money.
Metro’s Arch T. Allen discusses a new autobiography by Howard Lee, chairman of the NC State Board of Education, entitled “The Courage to Lead: One Man’s Journey in Public Service.” Lee, 74, was elected mayor of Chapel Hill in 1969 and has served in the NC Senate.
Established in 1999, the four-color monthly Metro Magazine has a circulation of 40,000 with readership from the Triangle area of North Carolina to the coast
Metro’s November content, including the annual Education Report, is also available online at http://www.metronc.com.
November 14, 2008 (RALEIGH, NC) — Admitting that James Bond was “among my first cinematic obsessions,” world renowned critic Godfrey Cheshire gives the newest 007 film “Quantum of Solace” a mere “six” on a scale of one to 10 in his first film column for Raleigh Metro Magazine, available online now at http://www.metronc.com.
“Bottom line: The new Bond falls far short of the last one, though star Daniel Craig is still riveting,” he writes.
Cheshire, former chairman of the New York Film Critics Circle and a member of the National Society of Film Critics, began his column for Metro in the magazine’s November 2008 print edition. In addition, he will
post current film criticism on his blog through the Metro website
(www.metronc.com).
Cheshire is considered the nation’s number one intellect in film criticism today. He also wrote and directed the critically acclaimed documentary “Moving Midway,” in theatrical release across the nation.

October 27, 2008 (RALEIGH, NC) – Tracing his perhaps improbable odyssey from local movie critic to award-winning New York film critic and filmmaker, Godfrey Cheshire launches his new association with Raleigh Metro Magazine next month with a column entitled “Just Like Starting Over.”
The Raleigh-born New York City-based film critic – and writer and director of the critically acclaimed documentary film Moving Midway – will focus his new monthly Metro column on individual films or filmmakers, as well as issues or trends in the world of film. He will also post reviews of current and upcoming movies on Metro’s website.
Cheshire has served as chairman of the New York Film Critics Circle. His writings on film have appeared in numerous national and international publications. His areas of special interest include Southern and American independent filmmaking; international films (he was responsible for introducing films from Iran and China to the US); and the conversion to digital cinema.
Born and raised in Raleigh, N.C., Cheshire was educated at the Ravenscroft School, Raleigh public schools, Virginia Episcopal School, and UNC-Chapel Hill. He began his career by joining founder Bernie Reeves at the former Spectator Magazine in 1978. He served as an editor and the magazine’s film critic for the next 20 years.
Metro Magazine’s editor and publisher Bernie Reeves says Cheshire’s new association with Metro “brings us full circle.”
Cheshire offers: “Thirty years ago this fall, I joined Bernie in founding Spectator Magazine, an innovative and ultimately very successful alternative weekly for the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area. Although my primary duties during the magazine’s first dozen years involved supervising its arts coverage, I also got my start as a professional film critic in 1978, beginning a conversation about movies with North Carolina readers that continues to this day.”
Cheshire and Reeves have collaborated on many projects since then, including numerous film festivals and other special events – including the Comboland project in 1985. Cheshire, frustrated that the music scene in the Triangle was ignored by area and national media, compiled a collection of local music and delivered it to the UK and European market where it was well received and resulted in deals for several bands.
Most recently, they collaborated on Cheshire’s film Moving Midway.
“In early 2004, I started making Moving Midway – my documentary about my family’s plantation outside Raleigh – and Bernie came aboard as the film’s executive producer,” Cheshire said. “When the film was released to great reviews in New York in September, I felt like a new chapter in my life began. I am now a filmmaker with a couple of exciting new projects that I’m working on. But I also am still a critic and writer, and I am extraordinarily pleased that Bernie has invited me to be part of the Metro family.
“Thirty years on, Bernie remains a visionary and an innovator as well as a friend,” he added. “Much like Spectator, Metro is a vital, forward-looking publication that has a deep connection to the part of North Carolina where we grew up and started out professionally. I am looking forward to returning ‘home,’ yet again, by writing for its pages.”
About Godfrey Cheshire:
Cheshire moved to New York in 1991 and began a 10-year stint as chief film critic for the Manhattan weekly New York Press. From 1995-2000, he reviewed for the show business journal Variety, for which he covered Cannes, Sundance, Montreal and other festivals. His reviews and articles have also appeared in publications including The New York Times, The Village Voice, Interview, Filmmaker, Cineaste, Oxford American, The American Scholar, Cinemaya and Film International, and have been anthologized in several books.
In 1992, Film Comment invited him to write articles on Chinese and Iranian films. The first of these assignments occasioned a trip to Beijing and led to subsequent investigative visits to Hong Kong and Taiwan. The second involved several visits to Iran beginning in 1997; his interest in Iranian culture has entailed an ongoing study of Islamic thought and its connection to Western philosophy, as well as several projects aimed at using film to bridge the political divide between the U.S. and Iran.
In 1995, Cheshire and Spectator helped organize the North Carolina Film and Video Festival, and he served as artistic director for the three years of its existence. He has served as an advisor, programmer, panelist and juror at numerous other festivals in the U.S. and internationally.
In 1999, his essay “The Death of Film/The Decay of Cinema,” about the cultural and aesthetic ramifications of the conversion to digital cinema, gained international attention and led to several events including a “Millennial Symposium” to discuss his ideas at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and special panels at the Sundance and Seattle film festivals.
A former chairman of the New York Film Critics Circle, Cheshire is also a member of the National Society of Film Critics and the international critics group FIPRESCI. Twice since 2000, his film reviews have won Best Arts Criticism prizes from the Association of Alternative Newsweeklies.
In spring, 2007, he premiered his first feature film, Moving Midway, a documentary about the relocation of his family’s plantation and the Southern plantation’s place in American myth, on which he served as writer, director, narrator and producer. While in North Carolina making the film, he taught a course in the History of Film at his old alma mater, UNC-Chapel Hill. He is currently developing two other feature film projects, both large-scale historical drama.
