sheboro Magazine is all about promoting and supporting locally-owned, independent businesses. It’s about making your hard-earned money go further, fueling the local economy, and helping to preserve the unique character of Asheboro. We would like to introduce Asheboro Proud, a shop local community effort to keep more of your hard earned dollars in the Asheboro economy and strengthen the small businesses that make Asheboro unique.

produce or freshly baked bread, shop for unique gifts or household items, or choose a good book for a day at the beach. You can get your hair cut, have your taxes prepared, or apply for a mortgage at your friendly community bank or credit union. These businesses add to the character that is Asheboro, contributing more than just goods and services. They offer personalized attention, add diversity to our shopping options, and bring life to historic buildings. And they pay their employees—and local taxes—with the income they receive. Each time you choose to spend your dollars at a local, independent business, you are voting for the continued strength and vitality of our community. Below are 10 great reasons to shop at locally owned businesses every day.

Local, independent businesses assist the community through a “multiplier effect”: one dollar spent at a locally owned business will return five times that amount 1.

The feedback we received frightened and amazed us at the same time. The overwhelming consensus from everyone we conferred with was to go the digital route. In fact no one thought we should launch this endeavor the traditional way. The challenge then became how to get the word out about the magazine. We are experimenting with a mixture of oldschool marketing like mailing postcards and networking, combined with new ways of reaching out to your target audience including Facebook, e-mail and viral marketing. If you combine the rapid speed in which people are embracing this new digital-magazine technology with the positive impact not printing a magazine has on our ecological system, it became a “no-brainer”.

David H. Smith Mayor, City of Asheboro

Dear Readers,

don’t have the opportunity to welcome every citizen, or even every business, to Asheboro – so it is a pleasure to have the opportunity to welcome Asheboro Magazine to our community. As a small business owner myself, I know both the challenges and rewards of running your own business. Fortunately, many Asheboro residents are strong supporters of local businesses. We have seen the impact that occurs when jobs move out of the country, and we know how important it is to buy from local manufacturers, retails and agricultural producers. We are also strong supporters of our media. I think it is remarkable for a town our size to have a daily newspaper, weekly newspaper, weekly entertainment guide and local radio station. We are proud to have a new monthly magazine to add to the mix, and to keep us informed about all the unique people and events in our hometown. As a life-long Asheboro resident, it always makes me proud when someone chooses to re-locate to the community 6 ASHEBORO Magazine August 2010

I have always called home. Out of the countless cities and towns in North Carolina, or even the entire country, people are deciding to make Asheboro their new home. I suspect that each person who moves here would give you a different reason why they chose Asheboro, but in the end I hope they all find a few shared experiences. I hope they feel welcome. I hope their neighbors and coworkers take the time to talk to them and answer any questions they may have about the area. I hope they find a way to get involved – whether through their house of worship, their child’s school or through a civic group. Finally, I hope they take the time to enjoy the variety of cultural and recreation opportunities available around them. Asheboro isn’t a town that cares about keeping up with the Joneses. It’s a town where you’ll be respected if you treat people right. It’s a place where we know the importance of quality time with family and friends. It’s a town with a promising future, as long as we all work together for its success. To Asheboro Magazine – welcome to town. We wish you, like every small business in our community, lasting success!

don’t pursue happiness, create it

cover story

n cities all over the world, in ferreted-out spaces along main streets, and small dark alleyways one might easily miss, people open unique businesses specific to their owners, their passions and their personalities. These are places born of dreams — entrepreneurial and economic dreams, dreams of bringing a taste of something (home, mom, that magical country once visited while on the vacation of a lifetime) to a city that’s lacking it. Lumina Wine and Beer is one such business, and Asheboro is the city benefiting from the vision of its owners Tim Moss, Jennifer Parrish and Emily Hieronymus. Lumina Wine and Beer, located on Sunset Avenue just before the tracks (or after them depending on which direction you are heading) is a big-city wine bar that fits nicely in its small town environment. Inside you’ll find the normal things that you’d expect in such a business like wine racks filled with a great inventory of local, domestic and foreign wines; a large beer cooler loaded with specialty and micro brewed beers; comfortable leather furniture for hanging out relaxing with friends and a handcrafted bar. It is the perfect place to meet up with friends for an evening out or unwind with a great glass of wine after a long day. There is a beautifully crafted deck out back with umbrella covered tables should you prefer cont. next page

to sit outside and watch people stroll along Sunset Avenue, or listen to music drifting across from Bicentennial Park during concerts on the lawn. But, perhaps, more interesting than the business Lumina Wine and Beer, is the story of how it came to be which, in turn, defines its personality. Tim attended the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, and started his career in marine construction, fixing piers and refitting docks and marinas. This was a universe away from city planning and cartography, which is the direction he saw his undergraduate degree taking him. For a guy with drive, ambition and a strong work ethic, all of which he attributes to his late grandfather, business ownership was always the plan. In the fall of 2008, because of the tumultuous economy, business dried up for the company he was working for and Tim found himself at a crossroads. Instead of pursuing employment elsewhere, Tim and his girl friend, Emily, along with his sister Jennifer, decided it was time to put their entrepreneurial ambitions to the test. It is said that luck is when preparation meets opportunity and Lumina Wine and Beer is a perfect example of this truism. Fate put the wheels in motion for this venture in the unlikeliest of ways when the town voted to legalize the sale of alcohol in Asheboro in July of 2008. During a trip to Sonoma Valley, Tim and Jennifer had joked that if the sale of alcohol ever became legal in Asheboro, they should open a wine shop, thinking the likelihood of that ever happening wasn’t very high. With that major obstacle out of the way, and

the loss of Tim’s job creating the flexibility needed to consider delving into business ownership, Emily quit her job and they moved from Wilmington back to Asheboro. They rolled the dice and put their money and reputation on the line, and it has paid off. Entrepreneurs see opportunity where others do not, like investing in a dream in the middle of a recession, in a business that until recently, has been against the law. To the owners of Lumina, opening a place where people could buy good wines and beers just made sense. “Our store carries wines you typically don’t find at chain stores. And we’re the only specialty shop within a 20 mile radius of Asheboro. We want to carry $10 bottles of wine that taste like they cost $25,” Tim shares. The clientele that frequents Lumina is as eclectic as the selection of wines and beer. A wonderful cross mix of the young and upwardly mobile and the comfortably retired grace the seating on any given evening, and conversation is as varied as it is interesting. The residents of Asheboro have embraced the wine shop and are very encouraging. The first actual employee was hired in the summer of 2010, and with expanded summer hours, things are going better than expected. In fact, they have exceeded the goals outlined on the business plan that prompted the SBA to fund their venture. Customers have come to enjoy the wine tastings which allow you to sample wines from near and far and learn more about them from the knowledgeable and personable staff and distributors, as well as the live music that Lumina cont. next page

offers. Local musicians Gritcakes and Small Town Gossip have played acoustic sets to an enthusiastic and appreciative audience on many occasions. After moving to Asheboro, one of the things I missed most about Charlotte was the local wine bar I frequented. I don’t like traditional bars because they tend to be very noisy and the choice of wine is usually somewhat limited. For me, The Wine Shop in Charlotte was like Cheers was to Norm Peterson, a place “where everybody knows your name and they’re always glad you came”. I knew everyone that worked there and they knew me and my wine preferences. If something new came in they thought I’d like, I would gladly try it knowing they were familiar with my taste. Not to mention, on Wednesdays, they had a keyboard player who sounded like Wayne Newton or Paul Anka depending on his mood. Lumina Wine and Beer has filled that void perfectly. For me, nothing is better than having a glass of wine or beer in support of like minded people, like Tim, Emily and Jennifer, who have thrown caution to the wind, started their own business, and, despite the economy, have learned

the secret recipe needed to thrive. Small businesses are the lifeblood of our local economy. How many times have you heard that said? The reason it is said so often is because it is true. It takes a special breed of person, risk takers and those who dare to turn their dreams into reality, to have a vision and from that vision create a viable business. Often times, entrepreneurs are misunderstood. Most people that have worked for a paycheck their entire lives have no idea what it is like to have weeks where you get paid and weeks, because sales were down, where you don’t. In fact, most of us take our local entrepreneurs for granted and, at times, even chastise them for venturing out on their own. I am not one of those people because I know, first hand, what it takes to get a business off the ground and I support those who take the risk. That is why you will find me at Lumina Wine and Beer from time to time, savoring an excellent glass of wine or beer. I’d encourage you to do the same, and if you happen to see me there at the bar, be sure to stop by and say hi.

positive parenting

it takes a village...

by claudine gutt

o you ever need someone to watch your children without adding expenses onto going out? Do you sometimes just need to go to an appointment without the kids in tow? Perhaps, starting or belonging to a babysitting co-op is right for you. Babysitting co-ops are starting all over the country due largely to the struggling economy and parents’ need to make cuts in home budgets. A babysitting co-op or cooperative is simply a group of families in a community who agree to watch each other’s children without the exchange of money. A group of women near Seattle Washington created the babysitting co-op idea in the early 1980’s. Although the idea is not new, its popularity has risen with more and more babysitting co-ops starting all over the country. The benefits and advantages of a babysitting co-op are many. They allow neighbors to get to know one another better and for children to make new friends. In addition; money is saved, parents get free time, as well as a greater sense of security. Setting up a co-op takes a little bit of time but is relatively easy. There are many resources and guidelines available on the internet to help you. To start, you will need to gather your members. Membership should be no less than six and no more than 25. If there are not enough members, then availability becomes an issue. Likewise, if there are too many members, then members may not

know each other. Send out an invitation with what you are proposing and add invitees if you need to get more families involved. Now that you have your members, you can set the coop’s guidelines. The babysitting co-op uses a point system to keep track of who has babysat and how often. As families sit for other families, they are awarded points that can be redeemed for their own babysitting. Points are measured by counting beads on a shoestring, chips, or the like. The point system can be either simple or complex depending on the individual co-op. Points have value depending on such things as the number of children, weekday or weekend hours, and the location of babysitting. An example of the point system with a 30-point base for each new member: Members are charged one point for one child per hour and an additional point for each additional child per hour. No matter what system is used, members need to pay attention to totals. A rule of thumb for the 30-point or 30-hour system is that once a member has 15, it is time for her to start babysitting. Members with totals of 60 or more are urged to get out more! All co-op members receive the name, address, and phone number of each member, their children’s names and ages, an emergency number and the name and phone number of the children’s doctor. The list may include other information, including which members are willing to babysit evenings and weekends. Periodic membership meetings are crucial. Members’ discussions may run the gambit from first aid to favorite date 10 ASHEBORO Magazine August 2010

night destinations. These meetings allow mothers and children to get to know each other better. Although primarily social in nature, a meeting like this also serves to increase group cohesiveness and as a reminder to use the co-op. The babysitting co-op concept is uncomplicated and offers the chance to participate in the community while getting free babysitting. It also provides the opportunity to give your time to others. You and your children may form lifelong camaraderie.

avid Camp, General Manager for the Asheboro Copperheads, comes by his love of sports naturally. He has participated in and been around sports his whole life. His family has a history of sports involvement. His father played two sports in college, and coached high school basketball and baseball in Cleveland County for years. His older brother, Steve Camp, was the first director of UNC’s Dean E Smith Center, served as Executive Director of the Charlotte Coliseum Authority until 1997, and then became President and General Manager of the Charlotte Checkers, Charlotte’s American League professional hockey team. The Camp family’s love for sports is in line with Boston’s love for the Red Sox. David Camp grew up in Shelby, North Carolina and attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (Go Tar Heels!). When he graduated, he worked on the Shelby Star in Cleveland County for five years, before relocating to Asheboro in the late 70’s. He has been involved in journalism for a good portion of his career and was fortunate enough to combine his love of sports with his occupation as a sports editor for both The Courier-Tribune and The Burlington Times-News. His career in journalism reached its peak in the early 90’s when he became the editor of the Randolph Guide. In 1999, Camp became the official scorer of the Asheboro Copperheads when they joined the Coastal Plain League. The CPL is a wood-bat summer league, which allows college ballplayers a chance to hone their skills through the summer. There are currently 15 teams from North Carolina, South Carolina & Virginia participating in the League. As the General Manager, Director of Sales/Marketing & Community Relations, Camp wears a lot of hats. He can be seen out in the community raising awareness of the team for both new fans and potential sponsors. His goal in taking on this role is to make the Copperheads one of the best teams in the CPL. The Copperheads were eighth in the league going into the Playoffs, but were knocked out of the running by the Forest City Owls in the first round. Overall, they had a very strong team this year and, with Camp at the helm, will be a team to beat in the 2011 season.

ducation is a journey. Children begin learning at a very young age in the home. When they venture off to their first pre-school or begin elementary school at age 5, the goal is to create lifelong learners with an appetite for success. Whether you are a first time parent embarking on the road of schooling, or a seasoned parent looking for new ways to help your child, advocating for your child’s education is a top priority. To begin advocating for your child, build a relationship with his/ her teacher. Building a positive relationship will let your child know that you both care about his/her success. An impressive way to build relationships with teachers is volunteering. At every level, teachers appreciate a helping hand however you can give one. Spend time inside your child’s classroom, volunteer to make copies, help the teacher prepare for a project, or donate supplies for an upcoming special event. Another notable way to build relationships is to communicate at least once a week with your child’s teacher(s). In the weekly communication folder, after reviewing your child’s assignments, send a quick note back to the teacher commenting on your child’s progress. Emailing or calling the teacher once a week just to check in, ask if there is anything you can do at home to enhance what is being done in the classroom lets the

teacher know that you are tuned in and want to help. Use the resources available to you to advocate for your child. With the internet, the resources are vast, just by Googling a topic you will find articles, message boards, and homework help. Check the school or teacher’s website often. Teachers post important class information, as well as helpful links on the web, so that it is accessible anytime. Go to the public library and look for grade level reading lists, free tutors, and other information that schools may post there. In the school, speak with the Guidance Counselor if you have a concern. The Guidance Counselor can be a bridge between home and school if needed. If your child’s progress is a concern, or you have a question about an assignment, ask the teacher for a scheduled conference so you can sit down and discuss it. Express your goals for your child. When you and your child have a path in mind, let the teacher know it, this will help the teacher find ways to help your child reach his/her goals. Children are most successful when they have a team of advocates in the school, home, and community. Building relationships and effective communication will successfully lead your child through their educational journey.

lawn of the month

a perfect garden

by dave johnson, pictures by lauren johnson

ward winning gardening-book author, Syndey Eddison once said, "Gardens are a form of autobiography." If that is truly the case, Gail & Tom Brady have led extraordinary lives as is evident by their awe inspiring garden. I stumbled upon Gail and Tom as I was driving around Asheboro with my daughter Lauren. They happened to be out working in their garden at 320 Brantley Drive and I was so impressed I stopped immediately and asked them if I could feature theirs as the first Lawn of the Month in this first issue of Asheboro Magazine. Instead of treating me like a complete

stranger, Gail and Tom showed Lauren and I around their yard and talked to us as if we were long-time friends. Undoubtedly, their heart-felt kindness and hospitality is felt by every plant or flower thriving in their yard. Tom and Gail have been Asheboro residents for 15 years and married for 45. Tom is retired from the packaging industry and Gail is a Branch Manager for Carolina Bank. Along with a fullday's work at the bank, Gail gives freely of her time volunteering for several civic organizations including the Zoo Land Civitan Club. That she finds the time to maintain a garden this beautiful, is utterly amazing. Tom and Gail have two grown daughters, three grandchildren and two cats. When they aren't in the garden Tom can be found on the golf course at Asheboro Country Club or they can both be found on their pontoon boat they keep at Badin Lake. To call Gail's yard beautiful would be akin to saying the mythical Greek goddess of beauty, Aphrodite, was pretty; an understatement of unparalleled proportion. She gardens as a stress reliever and because "I just love stuff being pretty". As is evident by the pictures, every plant, flower and garden accessory is meticulously placed. Among Gail's favorite plants are rhododendron bushes and big pretty, colorful knock-out rose bushes because they don't invite insects and they bloom all summer. When I commented on the amount of work that had

obviously been done to make things so magnificent, Tom jokingly said, "she's been placing and I've been digging". What is truly amazing is that they do everything themselves-that is, they do not utilize the services of a landscape company. And, it is obvious that this is a team project because Tom went on to say that it is Gail's green thumb and artistic vision that add the beauty and Gail is proud to say that Tom is wonderful with the grass. Gail's secret to a beautiful garden isn't really a secret at all. In fact, it is more a recipe for a fruitful and purpose-filled life-'find something to do every day and enjoy it'. She goes on to say "the longer you do it, the better you get at it". These words of wisdom will not only result in a beautiful garden but also success in any other endeavor one undertakes. My time with Tom and Gail passed quickly and after I realized I had taken up two hours of their time I thanked them and Lauren and I left knowing we had just added two wonderful friends to our lives. As I was driving off, something Gail said earlier came to mind; "Seems more like home when all the other details are in place".

ask the expert

by richard biggers pt, cscs

“I want to lose weight and get healthier, what is the best kind of exercise for me?”

The first answer I tell my patients – “The best form of exercise is one you enjoy doing.” The more you enjoy it and the easier it is for you to master, the more likely you will make it a regular part of your life.

Richard Biggers, PT, CSCS Focus Physical Therapy + Fitness

he recommendation I offer most – walking. Walking comes naturally for almost all of us. Walking is a low impact form of exercise that almost all of us, give or take a few months, began to accomplish successfully around our first birthday. We are great walkers by design and you have already covered thousands of miles (researchers’ estimate the miles walked by a human to be approximately 65,000 over a lifetime). The only equipment required is a pair of good fitting, supportive and cushioned shoes with some comfortable clothing. The risk of injury is very low and walking can be accomplished almost anywhere. Now that you know you can do it, the question is how you make it effective to increase your overall health. My number one recommendation is to walk at a pace of moderate-intensity, one that raises your heart rate enough to break a sweat yet still being able to carry on a conversation. This level of intensity targets stored fat in the body, enabling it to burn it as fuel. Walking briskly at a conversational pace is an ideal intensity to reach a level of exercise that benefits your cardiovascular system, strengthening both your heart and lungs. Research has proven this type of 18 ASHEBORO Magazine August 2010

exercise plays a significant role in the prevention and treatment of more than 40 chronic diseases including diabetes, heart disease, hypertension and cancer. In addition walking is beneficial for those suffering from arthritis or other musculoskeletal problems such as back pain. The progression of Arthritis is also slowed down. Your joints need movement or the arthritis will likely progress more rapidly. On top of all the physical benefits of walking, it has also proven to be a great stress reliever. Here are a few tips to establish Walking as a Healthy Habit. 1. Begin slowly. Choose a distance and time you can accomplish easily and then increase it by 10 % a week until you reach the recommended goal of 30 minutes, 5 times per week. 2. Get a good pair of walking shoes. Look for ones that have good arch support with a stable yet cushioned heel counter and a comfortable fit. Running shoes are designed differently and often do not offer the proper support for walking. 3. Use good walking posture; stand tall with your head up and your stomach lightly engaged. Move your arms in rhythm with a smooth heel to toe transition. 4. Make it enjoyable. Walk with a friend

or family member. I often recommend walking as a good form of family exercise, as children 6 years or older often can keep pace quite well. It also is a wonderful activity for grandparents and grandchildren to share. If you go it alone, try bringing some music. It’s a great distraction if the sounds of the great outdoors are not enough. 5. Wear sunscreen, a hat and bring water, especially on hot days. 6. Once you get in your walking routine, you can better gauge your level of exercise by tracking your target heart rate [THR]. You can purchase a heart rate monitor that you wear while walking which will track your heart’s beats per minute [BPM]. The key is to find your personal THR based on your age and goals. The level of intensity you choose to exercise at depends on your current level of health. The best measure is to begin any form of exercise slowly and continue to work towards your goals. If there are any medical concerns, it is wise to consult a health care professional before you begin. As we embark on a new year, take this opportunity to give yourself the gift of health by doing something that you enjoy.

Target Heart Rate Equation 220 – your age = Your maximum heart rate [MHR] Next, you multiply your [MHR] by the level of intensity you would like to exercise at. The result equals your Target Heart Rate. Here’s an example of a 50 year old person who would like to exercise at a 75% level of intensity. 220 – 50 = 170 [MHR] [MHR] 170 X [Level of Intensity] 75% = [THR] 127.5 While exercising, the person will try to maintain a Target Heart Rate of 127 Beats Per Minute.

no &#$!&#*$ merlot!

by frank stokes

here is no doubt about it--popular culture and entertainment influence our collective tastes and buying patterns. Wine is a taste definitely susceptible to trends. For example, in 2004, Merlot was among the fastest growing wine categories in the United States; California vineyards owners were shoe-horning in more acres of Merlot stock, and ripping up less- demanded grapes. But then a buddy movie called ‘Sideways’ hit theaters and protagonist, Miles, made the famous expletive-ridden declaration, as in the title above, followed by an impassioned and sensual tribute to Pinot Noir. S e e m i n g l y, overnight, the growth curves crossed, and Merlot consumption began a yet uninter r upted decline; Pinot began a rocket ship ride that still has barely abated. It seems that many viewers did not understand that Miles’ comment about Merlot recalled the painful memories

he associated with the grape due to his estranged wife’s love for the wine, and instead they attributed his outburst as an indictment of all things Merlot. For anyone who has ever tasted a superb Pinot Noir, whether from California, the Pacific Northwest, Burgundy, or even the Southern Hemisphere, the source of Miles’ passion is clear; the bouquet is perhaps one of the most complex of any varietal, and the descriptors used by critics can be effusive and extravagant. Pinots tend to be marked by “red fruit” or “black fruit” flavors, and the nose can carry cinnamon and spice along with the fruit. Some tasters describe ‘barnyard’ aroma in Pinot Noir, which, at first blush, does not sound very appealing. Those tasters are trying to describe a unique earthy element to some Pinot Noir that some fans of the varietal will aggressively seek. Many Pinots even show truffle on the nose and palate, adding a complexity that is not found in other varietals. Perhaps the most pleasing aspect of good Pinot Noir is its soft texture, all

velvety and lush. It caresses and soothes, and evokes ‘liquid silk’. While the rewards are tremendous, the risks of Pinot should not go unnoticed. Pinot is finicky, fragile, difficult to grow, and even more difficult to handle in the winemaking process. The plant is genetically unstable, and there are literally hundreds of clones grown around the world. The plant is also vulnerable to every threat experienced in a vineyard. It leafs early, so late frosts decimate the plants. Bugs, viruses, and even birds play havoc with the plants and the fruit, which is thin-skinned and delicate. Careless fermentation can lead to a fading of color and loss of aroma. There are the manmade threats as well. With the soaring demand for Pinot Noir, some growers and winemakers have attempted to fill that demand with a focus on profit, and an afterthought for quality. The world (just check the aisles of the mass merchandisers) is lousy with thin, tart, and forgettable Pinot Noir. Sometimes I marvel that excellent Pinot exists at all. Given the tremendous risks but substantial rewards that are attendant to the Pinot Noir experience, we get jubilant when we find a great one. The Monticello Vineyards Estate Pinot Noir from Corley Family Vineyards is an exquisite Pinot Noir, and it comes from a lovely winery. Founded in 1969, Corely is operated by the second generation of the family. This relatively small winery crafts artisanal wines of incredible quality by hand. Pinot Noir has been part of the portfolio since 1984, and with the latest vintage, has reached perhaps its highest expression. The 2006 Monticello Vineyards Pinot Noir reflects the Corley belief that ‘good wine begins in the vineyard’. The grapes come from two different vineyard blocks, each planted with four different Pinot Noir clones. Each unique clone possesses its own distinctive characteristics. Bright fruit character in one block complements darker flavors in another, firm tannins in one clone balances silkier texture from another. Their pinot has very strong red-berry aromatics, including raspberry and strawberry, with hints of violet and rose. The fruit is just the beginning of the flavor profile accented by vanilla, clove, and ginger. The tannins are rich and supple, providing structure to the bouquet and flavors of the wine. It is medium-o-full bodied, nicely balanced with wonderful texture, and presents a subtle oak, likely due to the use of French rather than American oak during aging. The mouth feel is like liquid silk with a persistent finish. This wine could be confidently paired with The Wine Shop’s Cumin Coriander Chicken (see recipe here), salmon, lamb, or duck.

his is Yasmin Crowther’s debut which may provide for the modest, careful telling of family difficulties that can arise when one member has not let go of the past. The book swings between the voices of Maryam Nazar and her daughter; Sara, interweaving them through the main selfdiscovery theme. Sophisticated and skeptical London is contrasted with the primitive life in rural Iran where Maryam lives in her heart regardless of where she pays her taxes. Hers is a tale of defensiveness, unshed shame, anger, and steadfastness. Despite the surface routine in London with committed Edward; her love for her father’s former servant and her homeland, Mazareh, are percolating into what reads like a mid-life crisis. Maryam fled to England when her father; a strong military man, disowned her in a violent manner. She met Edward, married him, had his child, and settled in the leafy, affluent London suburb of Richmond. But over the course of their

Chimpanzees Remain an NC Zoo Favorite

zoo zeal

Zoo’s troop is largest in any U.S. zoo

aybe it's because they look like us and act like us. Maybe it's because they share 98.4 percent of our DNA. Or maybe it's simply that they are such fun to watch. Whatever the reason, chimpanzees remain one of the favorites and a mainstay for visitors at the North Carolina Zoo. The zoo’s chimpanzee reserve is a spectacular half-acre habitat resembling the African forests where troops of chimpanzees forage for food and socialize. Climbing trees and other activities within the exhibit keep the chimps challenged and entertained, and overlooks provide excellent viewing and educational displays for visitors. The zoo’s troop (as chimpanzee groups are called) totals 13 individuals, including adult males, females, juveniles and even a recently arrived infant. Together, they represent the largest chimpanzee troop in any U.S. zoo. The new baby, a female named Nori, arrived Aug. 2 and is the first of its species to be born at the zoo in 12 years. The first-time mother is a 16-year-old who was also born at the N.C. Zoo. Chimpanzees are native to only the 21 countries across the tropical forested region of equatorial Western and Central Africa to the Congo River. As recently as 50 years ago, there were believed to be about 1 million chimpanzees remaining in the wild. Today, primarily because of hunting and habitat loss, their number is estimated at about 150,000, with about 2,400 of that number in the United States. Of these 2,400, about 1,700 are used for biomedical testing, 200 are used for entertainment (circuses, acts, etc.) and 500 live in zoos. Most visitors are surprised to learn that chimpanzees' closest relatives are not gorillas or orangutans, but humans. And like humans, chimpanzees experience a long childhood, often nursing until they reach 5 years old. In cont. next page

the wild, a chimpanzee will stay with its mother and siblings until it reaches 9-11 years and will usually reach adulthood at about 13-15 years. During this period, as in human adolescence, young chimpanzees learn their subtle and complex communication system of expressions, gestures and vocalizations. And, like humans, they learn proper respect and behavior from both their mothers and other troop members. By the time a baby chimp is 3, it is as strong as an adult human; by adulthood, it is about 5 to 8 times as strong. An adult chimpanzee can reach a weight of 150 pounds and can live to be 50. A common misconception is that chimpanzees are monkeys, which they are not. Although both are primates, the great apes (chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans and bonobos) have no tail and walk using turned-down knuckles. Monkeys have prehensile (gripping) tails and walk with their palms down. From warfare to parenting, chimpanzees and humans have much in common. Probably no other chimpan24â&#x20AC;&#x192; ASHEBORO Magazineâ&#x20AC;&#x192; August 2010

zee behavior is as anthropomorphic (humanlike) or has received more notoriety than their making and use of tools. It might be the skill of cracking a shell without pulverizing the nut, which can take years to master. Or it might be the skill of probing for honey and insects with twigs and stalks, which is a relatively simple task for them and picked up quickly. Other tool-use includes using wads of crumpled leaves as sponges for gathering water. And like humans, they pass these learned skills on to their young. Noted chimpanzee researcher Jane Goodall discovered that the seemingly peaceful chimpanzees sometimes hunt smaller primates, such as monkeys, for meat and that some females kill the young of other females in their own troops in an effort to maintain dominance. Researchers are just now beginning to fully appreciate the chimpanzees' knowledge of medicinal leaves, berries and roots. Chimpanzees' ingestion of certain plants containing toxic compounds may help to combat parasiterelated disease. Just as chimpanzees are able to learn to

identify and avoid harmful plants, researchers reason that they should also be able to learn to eat things that can make them better. Currently, the zoo’s great-ape conservation efforts extend far beyond the boundaries of the zoo and are part of larger conservation programs focused in Africa. Teams led by the zoo’s Curator of Conservation & Research Dr. Rich Bergl are using cutting-edge technology to save Africa’s most endangered apes and supporting the research of some of Africa’s most experienced field biologists. Visitors to the N.C. Zoo can daily view and enjoy the park’s chimpanzee troop and see first-hand how much more we share with chimpanzees than the 98.4 percent of our DNA.

Betcha didn’t know: • Chimps use a rich repertoire of vocaliza-

tions, postures and facial expressions to communicate with each other. • The chimp “Ham, who orbited Earth in 1961 & became the first "American" in space, lived for a while at the N.C. Zoo after his NASA retirement. • The greatest threat to chimps in the wild are from humans & leopards. • Chimps aren’t monkeys—monkeys have prehensile (gripping) tails and walk with their palms down. • While foraging for food, chimps either eat the item immediately or save it as a snack for later. • Although it resembles a human smile, a facial grimace shows that a chimp is frightened. • Chimps greet one another by hugging, patting or placing their mouths on one another.

make your living room windows your room’s focal point!

o the outside world your living room says a lot about you, your lifestyle and personality. One of the most important decisions you’ll make about this room is what to do with the windows! Why? Because every room needs a focal point, especially our living rooms. We recommend you consult with a professional interior decorator, who should have vast experience in helping you achieve a smashing new design for your window treatments. And, once you’ve made a decision on window treatments, you’ll be amazed at how easy it becomes to arrange your furniture. Let’s talk about how we can help make your windows the most dramatic element in your room! Before you start looking at ideas ask yourself these questions. Do you want your new window treatment to make a bold decorative statement, or work more as a subtle background for your furnishings? Is it important for your new window treatment to hide an unpleasant view? Do you want to allow for plenty of sunshine? Often times, our living rooms boast of some outstanding architectural features. A fireplace, soaring ceiling and beautifully designed windows are naturals. Many of today’s new homes feature beautiful windows – and they demand beautiful designs in beautiful fabrics. The more elaborate the treatment, the more it can add to the beauty of your home. However, there is one important rule to use in the selection of your drapery fabric if budget is your major consideration. It’s far better to drape a window generously with an inexpensive fabric, than to skimp with a costly one. If a bold decorative statement is more to your liking, try a luxuriously designed swag and jabot treatment designed in a soft flowing silk fabric, or a dramatic taffeta. And don’t forget – sheers are back!

by cathy workman

Burnouts, 118” tergals, silks and textured sheers are all the rage in today’s dramatic window treatments. And let’s not forget the dramatic impact that a decorative rod can have in your new window treatment’s design. From wood, to metal, to unusual materials, today’s rod choices are varied and unlimited. And they’re guaranteed to set off your window in a truly dramatic fashion When designing your window treatment to be a subtle background to your furnishing, it’s best to blend the window treatment fabric to your wall color to achieve a more unified look. Not only do custom window treatments add beauty, design, and uniqueness to your decorating plan, but they are truly crafted for you and your windows alone. No two designs are completely alike, because they project your personality and style and no one else’s!

rock piles

by rev. peter panagore

daily devotion

ld Max was literally on his deathbed at our hospital, which is where I got to know him. He urged me to go to Ocean Point to see his rock piles. I didn’t know what to expect, but I was busy, and didn’t want to bother. Max insisted. I went. It’s hard to describe what’s (t)here (around me). It’s a magical place. Even now, I wonder if there are fairies living among these acres of winding rock formations, or beneath Max’s series of perfectly balanced round mounds of loose stone, or dancing on his broad stage of flat rock, edged with water, a wall, and ledge. They are not piles. They are art, ringed by berries, moss, ferns, flowers, and trees. Beautiful. Awe inspiring. It’s like being immersed in a sensible fantasy world. Who would have imagined this half-time hermit, this ship’s engineer, could be an artist whose medium was fieldstone, whose canvas was the earth? Language can’t describe his art. Cameras can’t capture it. You must be immersed in it. Parts of life require direct experience. Words just won’t do. God’s like that. No number of pretty words can convince any skeptic of the reality of faith. God must be experienced directly and personally. Let’s pray: Dear God of art and nature, show us your presence which words cannot contain or explain. Touch our imaginations and souls today with a direct experience of Your love. Amen. Here’s a pebble for your pocket: An open heart experiences God.

fabulous food

i found my shangri-la

ne of my great friends and mentors has a philosophy about life that I have adopted...”show up and see what happens.” I have found that planning and the inevitable changes that occur to most plans causes a great deal more stress than simply showing up and seeing what happens. Not to mention, when you start off with no or low expectations, your life is filled with surprise and wonderment rather than disappointment. And, taking this approach leads to many more stress-free instances than the planning approach-at least for my personality. Asheboro, at first glance, may seem not to have much in the way of culinary delights for your average foodie.

great deal of risk. Well, I wouldn’t have started a business in the middle of the worst recession ever if I was risk adverse. My motto, nay, my mantra, has become, “go big or go home”. But, as you will find, saying Bistro 42 is one of the best eateries on the planet isn’t as bold as it may seem. First, the Chef and owner, Luke Armitage, is not only passionate (which almost guarantees greatness) about his craft, he was schooled at, arguably, one the finest culinary campus on the planet (there I go again), Johnson & Wales. Not only was this where Emeril Lagasse gained and honed his masterful food preparation skills, Johnson & Wales has been staffing the finest kitchens in the country since 1973. And, to quote their website, graduates leave with “real work experience credentials, giving JWU graduates a leg up in landing some of the best positions in the industry.” I could stop the review here and give you the sage advice to show up and see what happens, but I have the propensity and the reputation to ‘blather on,’ so I will not disappoint. Since we started this business, Sherry (my lovely wife) and I haven’t gotten out for a “date night” that didn’t include others. We needed some time to ourselves, away from the kids to unwind; a meal and a libation or two at the Bistro 42 seemed like the perfect solution and, if you don’t feel like reading any further, perfect it was. Service can make or break a dining experience. Our waitress was awesome and, even though she was responsible for the entire dining room, our service was sensational from the moment we were shown

to our table. She was very knowledgeable about the menu and the wine selection which is small but diverse, and super friendly to boot. We opted for wine so I ordered a Merlot and Sherry ordered a Chardonnay. We began our experience with the Fire Cracker Shrimp, which, as our waitress said, was served with a hot-spicy apricot dipping sauce which was mind-blowingly good. Frankly, when the order of shrimp arrived at the table, I was a little taken aback; it was a very generous portion. In fact, calling this particular appetizer a light meal would not be a misrepresentation.

Off with their heads

For our main entree, I ordered the Filet Mignon, which is a salt and pepper rubbed grilled hand cut 8-ounce beef tenderloin lightly covered in blue cheese butter sauce served with smashed Yukon gold potatoes and asparagus. The filet was cooked to absolute perfection. Sherry had the Shrimp and Grits which is a delicious blend of gulf-white shrimp, stone ground cheddar grits, all natural Chorizo sausage, plum tomatoes, basil, demi glace, mushrooms, and green onions. The name of this dish doesn’t do it justice. In fact, Sherry said this was the best meal she’d ever eaten. After experiencing this earth shatteringly delicious meal, I am certain I had found the culinary equivalent to Shangri-la (I would have said Nirvana but I have been there before). To be sure, I scanned the deep recesses of my feeble mind to recall any meal equivalent and the only one that came close was Asia de Cuba in the Morgan Hotel in New York’s trendy Murray Hill area (if you are looking for the best mojitos on the planet, you’ll find them there). Normally, Sherry and I share dessert because we are usually too full after the meal. I love key-lime pie and crème brûleé almost as much as I love air and since both were on the menu and we couldn’t decide which to order, we ordered both. In her very amiable way, the waitress assured us that we would be as pleased, or more so, with the desserts as we were with our meals. I tried the crème brûleé first and I am glad I wasn’t standing when I took the first bite because I got weak in the knees and I most certainly

would have fallen down...it was THAT good. Any words I could think of to describe how gloriously decadent and delicious this desert was, with the exception of Ambrosia (the food of the Gods in Greek mythology), would not do it justice. The key lime pie did not disappoint either. The best part of the meal though was the bill. I have paid far more for meals that have left me agonizingly dissatisfied (and I am fairly easy to please). A comparable meal for two (although nothing I have ever experienced falls in the same category) in Charlotte would be close to $200 and in NYC $300 or more. And yet, in rural North Carolina, we had salads, an appetizer, three glasses of wine (two for me and one for Sherry), two entrees, two desserts and coffee for less than a Ben Franklin. To quote Lord Gainsford from the 1937 film Lost Horizon, “Gentlemen, I give you a toast. Here’s my hope that Robert Conway will find his Shangri-La. Here’s my hope that we all find our Shangri-La.” I found mine and it is called Bistro 42, right here in Asheboro. (By the way, all other restaurants we do reviews on know we’re coming and put on their best show. In this case, we did not go there to review the restaurant, we just went there to eat. Every time I have been back, the food has been equally good which speaks to Luke’s consistancy).
