MULTICULTURAL—Julia Lan of Morrisville shows Stephen Polzin
and Alana Sealy how to write their names in Chinese.
School celebrates diversity
The halls of Morrisville Elementary
School were lined with booths fea
turing artifacts, clothing, and toys
from many lands on Nov. 13.
It was the school’s first multicultur
al fair, built around one of the four
genera! PTA meetings of the year,
and featuring songs from many lands
by Anita Robertson’s Kindergarten
through Second Grade Chorus and
Susan Royster’s and Melissa Juhan’s
fifth graders. The Choral program
was titled “The Faces of America.”
Morrisville Elementary has a large
population of first-generation
Americans—and quite a few natives
of other lands, especially Asian
countries. There were displays on
India, China, Malaysia, Japan, and
many other Asian countries. Joyce
Wang, Pattie Lamb and Daksha Patel
coordinated the Asian displays.
There were also displays from South
America and Centrd America, coor
dinated by Patricia Sanchez. Gwen
Irby coordinated the displays from
both Africa and North America, and
Maureen Dollinger and Sandy
Gareton organized the European dis
plays.
You could find anything from sushi
to southwestern barbecue at a
potluck dinner of traditional dishes,
which preceded the PTA meeting and
the program.
The program centered on the popu
lar tune, “It’s a Small World,” and
featured songs of Native Americans,
Latin Americans (the Mexican Hat
Dance was danced by the fifth
graders), the Middle East, and Asian
Americans (featuring an appearance
by a Chinese Dragon, with fifth
grade students inside). In honor of
African Americans, the chorus sang
“He’s Got the Whole World in His
Hands.”
The final segment was called
“Americans Together,” and featured
a solo of “Yankee Doodle Boy” by
Chase Miller dressed as Uncle Sam,
and “You’re a Grand Old Flag.”

The TV show Cheers is no longer
popular, but the neighborhood pub is
more popular than ever, with a new
twist: They all sell cigars.
The Bermuda Room in Preston
Corners purposely does not have a
large sign out front because cus
tomers feel like “it’s their own pri
vate place,” said Alex Edwards, co
manager.
The pub has been open for about
nine months and has developed a
good crowd of regulars.
WestSide Eatery and Pub in
Cornerstone Shopping Center,
which opened last week, also hopes
to develop a regular crowd, said
Manager Mike Fairchild.
The opening was very successful,
he said. The pub made money each
day, which in itself is impressive for
a new business.
Both new businesses have lots of
television sets and a satellite system
to choose programs from. “Sundays
are so fun because we have all the
TVs on different games,” Edwards
said.
Both have light menus featuring
hot wings, burgers, and other sand
wiches. The Bermuda Room also
offers higher-end items like ribeye
dinners and tuna medallions, and
Westside plans to offer specials such
as pasta dishes.
So far, the most popular seller at
Westside has been the Cary Cheese
Steak Sandwich, Fairchild said. The
pub has also sold a lot of chili. An
unusual offering there is the
Carolina Dip sandwich, a country
ham and Swiss sandwich with red
eye gravy on the side.
The Bermuda Room’s most popu
lar seller is the Cajun chicken sand
wich, Edwards said. They also sell a
lot of Canadian Bacon Burgers.
Both have unusual beers on draft
and dozens of brands of bottled
beers available.
Both have air systems to take care
of cigar and cigarette smoke. “It
always smells clean in here by morn
ing,” Edwards said.
Westside will probably be chang
ing the menu frequently, because the
owners are printers. Doug and Jamie
May and Tim and Lisa Ballister are
the owners of Cary Printing Co.
During the opening, a word was mis
spelled on the menu and the owners
fixed it by the next morning,
Fairchild said. “That would be
unheard of in a normal situation.”
Owners of the Bermuda Room are
all restaurateurs. Dave Martin owns
Shuckers Oyster Bar, Tom
Kaznowski owns the Upper Deck in
Cary, and Mark Gaines, formerly of
the Upper Deck, is concentrating his
efforts on The Bermuda Room.
If you want to check them out,
they are in the Cornerstone shop
ping center.
