Vickie & HR Gallimore, owners of RE/MAX Central Realty, are both lifelong residents of Randolph County. Vickie earned her real estate license in the mid 80’s and was a successful broker when in 1989 she was approached by RE/ MAX International about opening her own ďŹ rm under the RE/MAX brand. RE/MAX had been looking very hard at our local market and were very interested in having a presence in Randolph County.

Asheboro Magazine, Issue 57

RE/MAX Agencies are located in 100 countries, and their branding is very significant. Their logo is instantly recognizable anywhere you go and with their high standards of conduct for their agents and brokers, consumers know what to expect before they ever make contact with a RE/MAX office. Vickie saw all of this as a powerful draw when considering their proposal and after talking the opportunity over with HR, she took a leap of faith and opened her own office in October, 1989.

At that time, HR was the General Manager at Dan Thomas Pontiac. A short time after that,Vickie’s Dad became ill and needed more full-time care so he retired from Dan Thomas and began helping out at RE/MAX doing ‘whatever needed doing’.

With just one other licensed agent, a lot of hard work and with the community’s support, within six months of opening the agency RE/MAX Central Realty became the #1 office in the market.

Over the next several years, they grew the firm and expanded their market share throughout the county.

As people began to understand the power of the RE/ MAX brand, experienced agents took notice and came forward to work with the firm. Vickie has put together a hardworking, experienced team of agents who not only know the market, but have the ability to “bring it” every day.

In 2002, they recognized a void in the commercial real estate market, and after HR brokered a few successful deals, he made the decision that if he was going to do something; he was going to do it all the way. He spoke with RE/MAX Carolinas to learn more about what qualifications were essential to being a good commercial agent. Although they told him the highly coveted Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM) was the designation, he also told HR it was very difficult to achieve and took many years to earn. In 2010, HR earned his CCIM, which is the top commercial certification in the field.

understand the real estate business, even if they are not actively involved in selling.

Education is an important part of the real estate business.

To be a successful realtor, you must attend many hours of classroom training, and study changes in the legal and financial areas, as well as understand the economy.

“When you stop learning, you stop everything,” HR Gallimore.

“This is all we do and we take it very seriously,” Vickie Gallimore.

Vickie’s office has expanded twice since the beginning. In 1992, they purchased the Southeastern Savings & Loan building and completely rehabbed it. With 32 licensed agents in Randolph County, they have since added on to the building to make more room. In addition to active agents, their administrative staff is also licensed to sell real estate. Vickie believes that in order to be the best at what they do, everyone in the company should

Asheboro Magazine, Issue 57

There are so many things that have to happen for a successful real estate transaction to take place that most buyers and sellers are unaware of and can delay or even sidetrack a purchase or sale. Using an experienced real estate agent is essential because they can guide you through the process to a successful conclusion. Whether you are buying or selling your home or commercial building, utilizing an experienced agent makes the whole thing less stressful and in the long run, more profitable.

Vickie has many certifications to her credit, as well as being a licensed broker. She holds an appraisers license, which allows her to be a better agent for her clients and also has her relocation certification, which allows her to work with local manufacturing firms to assist in relocating top personnel to the area.

RE/MAX Central Realty is a premier market office within the RE/MAX fold. Many of her agents have received the Realtor of the Year award at the office, and the company itself has achieved an award for doing over $100 Million in business, in 2007 and again in 2014.

Technology has changed the face of real estate over the years. Back in the 80’s and 90’s before the internet, all the real estate listings were kept in a notebook that an agent carried around and showed to prospective clients. This notebook had to be updated daily with new listings or those homes that had sold and were no longer available. These days you can pull a listing up anywhere in the world on your smartphone or tablet. In many ways, this makes the agent’s job harder because some lose that personal touch with their customers – real estate is a people-centered business. “Technology has made it easy to forget the importance of face-to-face meetings.”

As busy as the real estate business can be,Vickie and HR and many of the agents in the office make time for their community. Vickie recently received the 2015 Governor’s Volunteer Service Award at a local ceremony in April. She is on the Board of Directors for the Randolph Community College Foundation and Co-Chairs the Annual Dancing with the Randolph Stars Fundraising event. They are members of Rotary International, and they serve on numerous other boards and committees. HR is currently the President of the Asheboro/Randolph Council of the Greensboro Regional Realtors Association.

Vickie Gallimore’s tireless drive and work ethic was learned watching her Dad while growing up. She has been a driving force in the local real estate scene for 28 years.

In 2013,Vickie and HR welcomed their son, Brian Gallimore to the firm. After graduating law school and successfully passing the bar, he realized he wanted to join the family business. Their daughter, Sarah Beth is attending Nursing School at UNCG. If you are buying or selling a home in Randolph County, RE/MAX Central Realty is the first phone call you should make. Visit them online at www.remaxcentralrealty. com or stop in at their office, conveniently located in downtown Asheboro at 231 S Fayetteville Street, Asheboro. You can reach the office at 336.626.5600.

Their office hours are Monday through Friday 8:30 am to 5:00 pm or Saturday from 9:00 am to 12:00.

ASK THE EXPERT INSURANCE

2016 will be a challenging year for Small Businesses as they react to the changes in the health insurance market mandated by the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The implementation of the next phase of the law may bring benefits to some businesses, but detriment to others.

First of all, the definition of “small business” is expanding. For 2015 a small employer is defined as one with 50 or fewer full-time and fulltime-equivalent employees. In 2016, a small employer will be defined as one with 100 or fewer full-time and full-time-equivalent employees. As a result, businesses with less than 100 employees will now be subject to the provisions of the ACA governing small business.

The primary change in the small

business health insurance market is the elimination of the practice of underwriting. While this didn’t receive as much fanfare in the press as the Individual Mandate, Employer Mandate, and the failures of the healthcare.gov website launch, this policy effectively changes the way that insurance is priced and sold to small businesses.

insurance companies could establish rates based on the health status and demographics of the employee group, industry type, duration, and projected claims cost.

So what does it mean that underwriting is being eliminated?

And what effects could this change potentially have on your business?

Effectively, the elimination of underwriting and the establishment of Community Rating will benefit businesses with high risk and older demographics. And employers with positive risk and demographic characteristics will no longer be able to benefit financially from being a “preferred” insurance risk.

The ACA required that in 2014 all states adopt Community Rating for the Small Group Market. Under Community Rating, premiums for coverage cannot be based on factors other than age, tobacco use, and geography. Prior to the ACA,

Because the elimination of underwriting greatly reduces the ability of insurance carriers to use different pricing approaches and philosophies when bringing their products to market, carriers will be much less able to compete on price

when providing proposals to employers. Under the prior system, if a carrier felt that a particular employer had a reduced risk factor and would be a profitable addition to their small business pool, they could offer lower rates to that employer. As of 2016, this is no longer the case with the ACA Community Rated Mandate.

In addition to the elimination of underwriting, small businesses in the insured market will no longer have composite rates, under which premiums are the same for all employees regardless of their age. The ACA now mandates age-rated premiums for employees and dependents.

Starting at age 21, there are different, escalating rates up to age 65. The human resources department will likely have a much more difficult job when it comes to establishing payroll deductions and administering health benefit programs to employees based on these varying rates.

In summary, companies that believe that their employee base would fall into the category of being “preferred risk” (meaning that their claims would likely be less than the average small business in the market) are likely going to be most negatively impacted by the 2016 ACA changes.

However, there are potential solutions to this issue for groups that are preferred risk such as Self-Funding, “Level” Funding, and a co-employment relationship with a PEO. Ask a qualified insurance professional to explain these options to you so that you can make the best decision for your company and its employees.

ASK THE EXPERT YOUR EYES

Diabetic Eye Frequently Asked Questions WHAT IS DIABETIC RETINOPATHY? Answer: Diabetic retinopathy is an eye problem caused by diabetes mellitus. It affects the retina, which is the lightsensitive tissue in the back of the eye. Retinopathy occurs when diabetes damages the tiny blood vessels in the retina.

This damage can lead to problems with vision, including blindness. It is possible to prevent severe vision problems by: • keeping the diabetes and blood pressure under control • scheduling regular eye exams • receiving early treatment for retinopathy HOW DOES DIABETIC RETINOPATHY OCCUR?

especially if the blood sugars have been poorly controlled, the more likely they are to have retinopathy.

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF RETINOPATHY? Answer: Diabetic retinopathy begins before any symptoms are present. As the problem gets worse, blurred vision, floaters (black spots or cobweb-like shapes), and temporary or permanent blindness may occur.

HOW IS DIABETIC RETINOPATHY DIAGNOSED? Answer: Your eye doctor will examine your eyes using an ophthalmoscope (an instrument for seeing inside the eye). Several pictures may also be taken at the time of the examination to determine the severity of the diabetic retinopathy.

Answer: High blood sugar levels damage small blood vessels. The weakened blood vessels may break and leak HOW IS RETINOPATHY TREATED? fluid and blood. Also, new abnormal blood vessels may grow.

injection of medicine into the eye to seal leaking blood vessels. The surgeon may also use a laser to destroy abnormal blood vessels. If you have had bleeding into the clear gel (vitreous) that fills the inside of the eye, the eye surgeon may do surgery to remove the gel in a procedure which is called a vitrectomy.

WHAT CAN BE DONE TO HELP PREVENT DIABETIC RETINOPATHY? Answer: To help prevent diabetic retinopathy, work closely with your medical doctor to control your blood sugar and blood pressure. Stop smoking as smoking may speed up the development of retinopathy. Finally, follow a diet and health care plan for your diabetes so you have fewer complications. Call your doctor right away if you start seeing dark spots, floaters, light flashes or your vision is blocked, blurred, or distorted.

ASK THE EXPERT YOUR TAXES

WHAT TYPE OF COMPANY SHOULD YOURS BE?

I

found in my former CPA days, that folks can be very good at their chosen profession, but probably do not possess the expertise to manage the business aspects of their company and meet the tax reporting requirements by yourself. I’ve learned that smart advice will save you money.

In developing your business plan, the first decision you need to make is what structure the business should operate under for legal and tax purposes.

It’s essential that you consult your attorney and tax preparer at the very beginning of the process in order to make this decision.

If you choose to operate as a soleproprietor, plan to report any business income on your personal 1040. Plan to also have full liability for the business -- your personal assets will be at risk.

This choice can be a disadvantage for long-term growth and raising capital.

For legal purposes, incorporating can limit any potential liability to corporate assets and thereby protect your personal assets. If filing as a C corporation, tax is due on any earnings at the corporate level. With this option, you are creating a separate legal structure allowing for certain taxdeductible business expenses. I have

created two of these businesses with unlimited growth potential through the sale of stock.

One disadvantage of the C corporation structure is something known as “double taxation.” Your profits are taxed when earned and taxed again when distributed as shareholders’ dividends. Your shareholders also cannot deduct any corporate losses.

Alternatively, a corporation can elect to file as a Subchapter S corporation where earnings and losses flow through to the shareholders’ personal tax returns. This is known as “pass through taxation,” and also applies if a business is organized as an LLC (limited liability company) or partnership.

Both corporations and LLCs provide a good measure of personal liability protection, but partnerships are like sole proprietorships from a liability standpoint.

Regardless of the decision, you’ll usually need to file paperwork to register your business and then to report on operations each year. As a very capable professional in your field, don’t assume you have all the answers on your own.

I’ve learned over the years that consulting wise counsel saves me

dollars and headaches down the road. At Liberty Tax, we saw a case in which a construction company elected Subchapter S status, paid the shareholder a reasonable salary (that is a condition of the election) but had no idea that the net profit then flowed onto his personal return as taxable income. Even worse, his tax preparer filed two years of returns without the Schedule K-1 income being reported (which is prepared for each partner or shareholder).

That was when the IRS notices began.

We see many different cases like this, but the common denominator is that the entrepreneur, while being a skilled professional, did not feel it was important to engage an attorney and a tax professional to develop a good business plan and set up the appropriate type of entity, after considering all of the details.

In the words of author, Brandon Mull, “Smart people learn from their mistakes. But the real sharp ones learn from the mistakes of others.”

Aggie Ingold and Todd Campbell Win 2015 Dancing with the Randolph Stars; Benefit Raises Over $161,000!

A

ggie Ingold, business manager and CFO at Sunwalt Dental Works, and Todd Campbell, vice president of sales and director of merchandising for Fairmont Designs, were the winners of the Randolph Community College Foundation’s Dancing with the Randolph Stars fundraiser held on May 30 at AVS Catering & Banquet Centre.

The event raised just over $161,000, according to Ann Hoover and Vickie Gallimore, co-chairs of the Planning Committee, who announced the totals before a soldout crowd after an evening filled with dances by the 15 competing couples.

After expenses are paid, it is estimated the Foundation will net over $116,000 for scholarships, benefiting around 155 Randolph Community College students, said Hoover. The 2014 fundraiser raised over $166,000 for student scholarships, and the previous four years combined raised a total of nearly $500,000. A video shown during the event included numerous clips of groups of RCC students thanking the donors for their support of student scholarships.

Ingold and Campbell received the most votes, winning the coveted Dancing with the Randolph Stars trophies. They performed a routine to “Time” by Edwin

Award, which was determined by a decibal meter to measure audience applause.

The money raised included a combination of $10 votes for the dancers during the night of the event; pre-event voting received by the Foundation; sponsorships from various Randolph County businesses, industries and individuals; and ticket sales.

Lane Ragsdale served as director of the show for his fifth year. WKXR Radio personality Larry Reid served as emcee for the

evening. The judges were Dr. J.B. Griffith III, financial planner with Liberty Advisors; John Revell, plant manager at Oliver Rubber Company; and Dr. Cindy Schroder, retired deputy superintendent for Randolph County Schools. All three judges were former DWRS dancers.

All of the dancers, judges, entertainers, and emcee volunteered their time to the event, as well as the large number of dedicated community volunteers who served on the Planning Committee. In addition to co-chairs Gallimore and Hoover, Dean Sexton served as the Sponsorship Committee chairman; Gail McDowell and Cindy Schroder were Dancer Committee co-chairs; Lisa Huffman was Hospitalty Committee chair. Other committee members were Pat Allred, Talmadge Baker, Gail Crawford, Jane Crisco, Jim Culberson, Claire Davis, Natasha Dowdy, Rhonda Eblin, Dr. Stuart Fountain, Dr. J.B.

ASK THE EXPERT YOUR HEARING

Q:

Hearing aids are so expensive!

Can you explain the value of hearing aids and why there is so much discrepancy?

A:

For many, a diagnosis of hearing loss is a difficult reality to accept. What we know is that an average of seven years will go by between when someone notices they’re having trouble hearing and the time they decide to do something about it. This begs the question...why do people wait so long? As we know, there are many answers to this question and not all may be as simple as “I just don’t want hearing aids.” One reason I have witnessed is, “I can’t believe hearing aids cost that much. There is no way I can pay that. I think I’ll wait just a little bit longer or shop around.” There is no doubt that hearing aids are expensive but let’s talk about why.

First, the overall cost of hearing aids has increased substantially over the last few decades due to the research

and development that allows superior sound processing to be possible with much smaller devices.

Second, it is important to understand that there are different levels of technology, basic to premium, which refers to the processor chip inside the device. The more basic the technology the less it will cost but also the less it is designed to do (i.e., better in quiet vs. better in noise). The level of technology recommended is based on the patient’s hearing loss but, more importantly, his/her listening lifestyle (i.e., how often they are around background noise).

Third, and most importantly, you need to know what else besides hearing aids is included in the price. Below are real things to consider when thinking about your investment in

Lauren Combs, Au.D. is a graduate of The Ohio State University and a native of Metamora, Michigan. She completed her clinical externship with the UNC-G Speech and Hearing Center. While receiving her education, she worked with The Ohio State University Speech-LanguageHearing Clinic, The Eye and Ear Institute, Chilicothe VA Medical Center, and Hear USA. She is especially skilled in performing diagnostic evaluations, in the selection, fitting, and verification of hearing aids in the adult population, in tinnitus assessment and treatment, and in patient counseling regarding hearing health care.

hearing health: • The education and qualifications of the hearing health professional • Services (diagnostic audiological evaluation, tinnitus evaluation, real ear verification (LSM) of hearing aids, maintenance checks, reprogramming, in house repairs, hearing aid loaners, walk-in service, etc.)

• Trial period (30-, 45-, 60-, or 75-days) • Batteries (1, 2 or 3 year supply) • Manufacturer warranty (1, 2, or 3 years) • Loss and Damage coverage (1, 2 or 3 years) The truth is, hearing aids are literally only as good as the professional that is working with them. The investment made when purchasing hearing aids is not just a monetary one. It is an investment in your overall hearing health care and quality of life. As Helen Keller said, “Blindness separates you from things; deafness separates you from people.”

Dr. Combs attended Central Michigan University as an undergraduate. She has volunteered extensively as an advocate for those with hearing loss by mentoring both elementary school children and college undergraduates. She has also performed screenings for the Special Olympics. In 2013 she spread awareness about harmful noise exposure by providing ear plugs to those attending UNC-G Men’s Basketball games.

FEATURE STORY

A

short drive off of Exit 61 on US 73/74 lies Carolina Bronze Sculpture. Opened in 1990, Carolina Bronze currently works with both artists and commissioners to create bronze sculptures ranging in size from shelf decorations to larger than life portraits and memorials. Owner and President Ed Walker, along with General Manager, Jim White and fifteen other employees, are using modern technology to make a six thousand year old process easier.

Helping Artists and enhancing ancient PRocesses

Bringing New Life to an Ancient Process Traditionally, casting a statue of bronze involved first creating a full-size model of the sculpture of clay. A mold is made from that model using rubber. Another model is then made from this using resin wax, which is covered in a ceramic mold. The ceramic is heated in a kiln, where the resin melts or burns off. Bronze is finally poured into the ceramic mold, which is broken off and the bronze is polished, producing a finished sculpture.

When Carolina Bronze first opened in 1990, this was their process. At that time, Ed was only able produce molds and copies of sculptures at their original size. On occasions where Walker was not the designer of the sculpture, the artist would bring in a full size model in clay or another less expensive material and present it to the staff at Carolina Bronze, who would use this process and return the finished sculpture to the sculptor, or install it where it was to be displayed. Working only in full sizes could be a challenge when creating works thirty feet high and twenty feet wide.

Now, however, artists can bring in scaled down, easily transportable rough models, which are scanned using highly sensitive and accurate software and enlarged. Here they might make a resin model at half of full size and invite the artist back to add finer detail. The mid-size model is then rescanned and recast into the full size.

Technology is making Ed’s job easier and more efficient. The scans of the sculptures are analyzed and transformed into a 3D model, which is sent to a computerized router, where

the mold is cut to within a millimeter accuracy. This allows Ed and his crew to make a sculpture that is exactly to the artist’s design. In addition to this, technology has made producing bronze sculptures faster.

“There is a trickle-down from government research,” Ed says.

The Kiln they use to set the ceramic molds takes one hour to heat to the proper temperature, where it would have taken a full day to do so before. This is thanks in part to a super-insulation originally designed to be used as heat shields for space shuttles. The technology they use to melt down the bronze was originally designed to make turbine blades. Additionally, improved technology has brought Carolina Bronze more business. One of their recent projects involves casting aluminum streetcar parts for TIG/m, a company that makes hydrogen fuel cell powered streetcars.

Ed Walker is always keeping an eye out for ways to streamline the process and reduce waste. “The more we recycle, the better.” When the resin models are melted out of the ceramic molds, around twenty five percent of the wax is burned off, but the rest is collected and saved for future models. In the near future, a sandblasting chamber will be installed that will collect the sand to be reused. It will cont. on pg. 34

also include a way to filter the air and keep those operating the machine safe. “My main interest is taking care of my valued employees,” Ed says.

The Heart of Carolina Bronze There is always something happening at Carolina Bronze.

Ed Walker says, “It requires a creative person to do this kind of job because there’s nothing routine about it.” For one employee, most of the day consists of “jumping from one job to another.” They may help pour a casting, then move to a different part of the shop to remove the resin model from a rubber cast, then help weld together different sections of a finished bronze sculpture, all before lunch.

Because most of the process involves waiting for models and casts to cool or heat up, Carolina Bronze can work on up to twenty five projects at a time. In the last year, they churned out eight to ten tons of finished casting in the last year. “The people who need to do the same thing over and over again all day don’t usually last long here.” But those

where former students of his were looking to find a place to cast their sculptures. In 1990, he moved the operation to Seagrove in part so that his kids could be closer to their grandparents, and he established an impressive resume in the years that followed. Along with the Wilmington Firefighter Memorial, Carolina Bronze has designed a portrait of Nathanael Greene by Jim Barnhill, which is a prominent feature in Greensboro. They also cast a bas-relief of a painting for the Saratoga Museum in NY, a sculpture

who stay, love it. Ed believes himself to be a very fortunate person in that he considers his work fun. The vast majority of the work they do is art. “What’s really satisfying is that it’s made to last.” Bronze sculptures are virtually indestructible and can survive through what most other art would not.

Ed remembers that a building containing one of his works burned down, and the sculpture inside still stood, needing only minimal scratch repairs.

“I’ve always been a kind of do it yourself type of person” Walker says. His favorite pieces are those he designs himself.

Among these is the Wilmington Firefighter Memorial which features a life sized firefighter propping up an I-beam that was found among the rubble of the World Trade Center, along with individual memorials to the seven Wilmington firefighters who have lost their lives since the inception of the Department.

Ed began his commissioned bronze work in New Orleans,

dedicating the Asheboro sit-ins, a portrait statue of Ronald Reagan which sits in the White House Rotunda, and a series of small mice for a discovery trail in Graham.

Ed believes that each person has traits which make them unique, and tries to capture the subject’s personality through sculpture. “You can’t make a portrait of me standing like this [straight and rigid]. No, I slouch a bit.”

ASK THE EXPERT CHIROPRACTIC CARE

Fibromyalgia Pain

E

ach year, thousands and thousands of people suffer from fibromyalgia, a debilitating myofascial disorder that severely limits a person’s function. Those who struggle with fibromyalgia have reported a lack

of sleep, an excessive fatigue and overall tiredness, and even extensive periods of deep depression. Thankfully, along with treating other injuries, chiropractic care can greatly increase the quality of life for the person who lives with fibromyalgia. Along with other healthy lifestyle choices, patients can experience great results by seeing a chiropractor as needed to treat this painful condition.

How Does Chiropractic Care Help?

Fibromyalgia causes the muscles to continually tighten and cramp up, which in turn results in the spine losing its ability to move around properly. Because of this tightening, the muscles restrict even more due to a triggered

neurological reflex. This leads to more pain and symptoms that worsen with time. As new trigger points emerge over time, symptoms not only worsen but they also flare up more frequently.

Chiropractic care helps to alleviate and even eliminate the chronic pain that is experienced with fibromyalgia by constantly adjusting the spine. Studies have been done over the years to test the success of spinal adjustments on fibromyalgia pain, and countless patients have reported a relief in pain all over their bodies.

For example, a study done in 1985 resulted in patients experiencing a better quality of sleep and less fatigue on a daily basis. Talk to us today about your treatment options if you or someone you know struggles with fibromyalgia symptoms. We’d be glad to help you learn how to manage your symptoms and achieve a better quality of life.

Clouds Bicentennial Park has recently added a new sculpture: Clouds by Hanna Jubran. A kind of obelisk, Clouds stands about four feet high, with cast metal decorating smooth constructed steel.

The cast metal resembles organic shapes growing off of the clean steel, or to look at it another way, billowing clouds flowing over a pristine sky.

Derrick Sides, executive director and volunteer curator of the Randolph Arts Guild, said that the title influenced the location of the sculpture. “I walk out towards that park every day and there’s always a view of the sky” He wanted the sculpture to have as great a view of the sky as the name deserved.

Indeed on a sunny day Jubran’s work glistens and complements the expanse of sky above, while making any event in Bicentennial Park a little brighter.

Born in Galilee, Hanna Jubran is currently on the faculty for Eastern

Carolina University’s MFA in Sculpture.

He has gained an impressive sculpting resume, with exhibitions in locations ranging from Argentina to China, Japan to Israel. Derrick Sides was already familiar with Jubran’s work and known that he consistently brings high artistic and quality and durability. In Clouds, Jubran carves the mold directly, such that the cast metal is not the direct sculpting of Jubran, but rather a negative image of his carving. It was this innovation and unique technique which helped ensure this piece as the newest for downtown Asheboro.

Art in Rotation This intense thought process is not unusual in the selection of Asheboro’s

downtown sculptures. Some sculptures are owned by the Arts Guild, such as Giant Skeeter on the western wall of CUOC, or the ants on the exterior walls and roof of the Arts Guild, or perhaps most notably the letter “A” bench off of Church Street north of Sunset. However, most sculptures that one would see downtown are not there forever, but borrowed in temporary, eighteen month showings.

These showings provide Asheboro with a varying aesthetic experience and the sculptors with good publicity. Most of these sculptures are even for sale as they are on display.

“I take a more open approach,” says Derrick. When a sculpture’s eighteen

month showing is over, Sides will make an open call to artists, often through university artist groups. He asks artists to send photos of their proposed sculpture, a resume, and an artist statement. He narrows the list on four main criteria.

What will the sculpture add to downtown?

Will it fit in the available location? Is it an appropriate size for the space?

Does it provide variety or breadth of themes compared to current and past sculptures featured downtown?

Does it complement or add to the pieces in the permanent collection?

Naturally, Derrick first narrows the list by pure aesthetic appeal. If the sculpture doesn’t look good, he doesn’t want it sitting in Asheboro for a year and a half. Other pieces Derrick can eliminate immediately based on logistics, if a piece is too large or too small for the location, if the sculptor lives too far away for it to be financially feasible to transport the work to and from Asheboro, or if the sculpture is too delicate to last a year and a half of weather.

Once the list is down to a handful, he shares the options

www.AsheboroMagazine.com

41

with the Downtown Revitalization Committee, and a final sculpture is selected through their discussion.

Overall, Derrick prefers more lighthearted and playful pieces for his showings, something that those walking or even driving past can get the sense of the sculpture without necessarily stopping and pondering its presence intensely. The exception to this is one particular location: the area beside Magnolia 23, across from the stoplight at the end of Sunset. Here, Derrick often puts complex, more contemplative pieces, because “what do you do at stoplights but think about life?� Customers of Magnolia 23 who sit outside will also be able to spend some quality time with the work. Asheboro residents may remember the horse or the headless angel that were located there in recent years.

Many businesses can choose to host a sculpture by letting the Arts Guild know how much space is available. For

example, Community One Bank hosts a permanent piece: Autumn Ritual, the familiar bronze buck beside their Fayetteville parking lot entrance. There is also a location for smaller temporary pieces on the other side of their building on the corner of Fayetteville and Sunset. Asheboro Public Library is currently hosting Danu on the corner of Cox and Worth.

Derrick Sides and the Downtown Revitalization Committee make an effort to keep the aesthetic of Sunset and the rest of Downtown fresh and lively. In terms of public art, the committee does this through sculpture and a number of Susan Harrell murals. Their successful revitalization of downtown over the past several years has brightened anyone’s visit to Sunset Avenue and will continue to keep things bright and varied for the foreseeable future.

While not every hiccup can be avoided, couples can plan their honeymoons for those times of year when specific locales experience their best weather. • Jamaica: Couples tying the knot in the earlier part of the year may want to honeymoon in Jamaica. With average temperatures in the 80s year-round, Jamaica makes for a great honeymoon destination. January through April see less rain than other times of the year,

and keep in mind June through the end of December is hurricane season.

• Australia: People opting to get married in the winter in the Northern Hemisphere might want to escape the cooler temperatures and shorter days with a honeymoon south of the equator. Australia and New Zealand are beautiful spots to visit and enjoy summer when those in the Northern Hemisphere are mired in winter.

• France: Paris and other French cities can be enchanting to visit any time of the year, but locals advise honeymooners visit in September when the climate is quite comfortable and tourism is minimal. Spring is another great time to visit France, especially for those people who want to spend plenty of time outdoors.

• Mexico: Areas of Mexico, such as popular Cancœn and Cozumel, tend to stay warm all year long, but they can be particularly hot in the summer. Spring brides and grooms

may want to venture there before the summer season is in full swing. Couples might want to avoid vacationing in certain areas in March, as students visiting for spring break may compromise the romantic atmosphere honeymooners are hoping for.

• Hawaii: Spring and summer can be ideal times to visit the islands of Hawaii, as the weather can be beautiful and travel tends to be less expensive during these times of year. Rains increase as autumn sets in, and Hawaii often sees the bulk of its vacationers during the winter, meaning higher costs and bigger crowds.

• Italy: April through June and September through October are some of the best times to visit Italy. Be aware that Venice tends to be misty and damp during the late fall and early spring. Italy, especially southern Italy and Sicily, can get quite hot during the peak summer months. Weather and tourism should be considered as newlyweds choose where to go on their honeymoons.

WZOO 99.9 FM - THE STATION YOU GREW UP WITH

Photos and Story By Sherry Johnson

F

red Keith, a local resident for many years and a retired two-star general in the United States Air Force, launched WZOO in 1971 as an AM Top 40 station.

After almost a decade, the station was leased out and the format was changed to Southern Gospel. It stayed that way for almost 20 years, before Mr. Keith took complete control back and changed the format to the best of the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s, with some old and new favorites thrown in for good measure.

from the Courier-Tribune, they keep residents informed of everything that is happening in the area. The station promotes local events and businesses, and station personnel can be found at many local events promoting the station and the new FM format throughout Randolph County, including the Summer Concert Series in Bicentennial Park, as they are a sponsor.

99.9 FM WZOO is all about Asheboro and Randolph County. If it doesn’t happen here, it doesn’t matter. Using Accu-Weather forecasts, and local news and sports

His career in Greensboro started at WRQK 98.7 FM, before moving to Z93 in Winston-Salem. From there he moved to WKZL, and worked the mid-day shift for 10 years. He

One of Tom Collin’s first hires was Steve Finnegan, in March 2014, when they made the switch in format to “music you remember and can sing along to,” as Steve calls it. Steve Mr Keith hired Tom Collins eighteen months ago to act as grew up in Pennsylvania, and moved to Virginia for his senior general manager and revamp the station. Tom has worked year in high school, where he worked at the high school in the Chicago, Detroit and New Orleans markets, as well as at several local Triad radio stations throughout his career radio station that played in the cafeteria during the lunch and has earned a reputation for excellence. He was charged blocks and after graduation worked at several stations in the Roanoke area.

spent time at Clear Channel’s 100.3 playing a 70s/80s rock format. When the station changed to country, he was the News Director and later worked with all the Clear Channel stations, including WMAG where, for 10 years, he produced and hosted Saturday Night at the 70’s. He also did traffic reports for eight stations for Greensboro and Raleigh during that time.

He then moved to WTHZ and WLXN in Lexington, where he worked with Tom Collins, whom he had worked with in 1984 at Z93. When Tom started working at WZOO, he called Steve and offered him a job as Operations Manager at the new station. In addition to those duties, Steve is also the Program Director, he handles IT issues, Maintenance, Copywriting and Promotions. Steve is a jack-of-all-trades.

Speaking of personnel, Tom Collins put together a great line-up of local talent to support the new format.

Steve Finnegan can be heard on air mornings from 6 to 10.

Craig Whyte handles the afternoons from 3 to 7 pm and is also the Traffic Director (he manages the ad schedule).

Mikey Roohan works weekends, does voice-overs for production, handles some of the radio “remotes” and is the station’s general handyman. Max Parrish has been in the local market for years and does the Sunday Morning show, and Wendi Waddell rounds out the team handling the selling of advertising for the station.

WZOO is one of the main sponsors of the 2nd Annual Honoring Our Veterans Cruise-In being held at Wayne Thomas Chevrolet-Cadillac on September 19th. All the money raised goes to support local veterans in Randolph County. They will be raffling off a GM Crate Motor for $1 per chance and it will be given away that day.

Prior to February 14th the AM 700 signal broadcast from sunrise to sunset due to the AM limitations. Now, with the addition of 99.9 FM they are able to broadcast twenty-four hours a day. If you are not within reach of either signal – you can stream them online at www.99fmthezoo.com.

More and more Randolph County residents are listening to 99.9 FM The Zoo/WZOO with their return to music that you grew up with. With a state-of-the-art, totally digital facility, listeners can enjoy the highest quality sound. The remodel of the building and studios was completed using as many Randolph County businesses as possible. They are currently working on some problems with the FM signal that were discovered after it was turned on. Very soon, you will be able to hear the FM signal from anywhere in Randolph County.

Helping Kids Learn and Achieve After the School Bell Rings

By Celena R. Fleming, Community Development Director

W

hen the school day ends, children and teens need opportunities to learn and engage in meaningful activities.

Their success out of school can have a positive effect on their success in school. Unfortunately, one in four U.S. children and 295,985 children in North Carolina are left unsupervised after 3 p.m., according to Afterschool Alliance, a nonprofit public awareness advocacy organization. To help close this gap, the Randolph-Asheboro YMCA is offering a quality afterschool program.

The Y’s afterschool program combines academics with play and offers a caring and safe environment where youth can achieve, discover a sense of belonging and build relationships.

58

Asheboro Magazine, Issue 57

As a leading nonprofit committed to youth development, and a pioneer in afterschool programs, the Y believes in supporting the social-emotional, cognitive and physical processes that all youth experience – from early learning and preschool through high school graduation and college – to provide the best chance for youth to succeed in school and life.

“Learning enrichment after school is essential to increasing children’s success in school,” said Celena R. Fleming, Community Development Director, Randolph-Asheboro YMCA. “The opportunity to get additional learning and support, and participate in meaningful activities can inspire the motivation and ability to succeed.”

Studies show participation in afterschool programs helps boost

school attendance and academic performance and reduces gaps in academic achievement among children from disadvantaged households .

In the Randolph-Asheboro YMCA’s afterschool program youth receive homework assistance and access to computers in our new Computer Learning Center and they can also explore arts & crafts, youth fitness classes, 4-H presentations, field trips and more. Financial assistance is available to those in need, to ensure every child and teen has the opportunity to learn and grow at the Y. For more information about the Randolph-Asheboro YMCA’s afterschool program, please contact Karen Oakley, Site Director at 336625-1976 or koakley@asheboroymca. com.

Tiffany, our server had a great personality and made some awesome recommendations

For a long time, it has been necessary to differentiate between good food and good food for being in Asheboro. No more. Bistro 42 has food that can stand up to some of the best restaurants in the region. The menu is good all around (so go back several times to try it all).

Soccer Fun Begins When School Begins Again

By Joe Taureck,Youth & Adult Sports Director

School is out and summer is upon us. Children will be outside playing, enjoying the sun and getting their physical activity.

Along with the new school year, a new season of Youth Rec Soccer at the Randolph-Asheboro YMCA begins.

We will be conducting sign ups in July 6-August 3 for the fall season, which kicks off with the start

I do my research, and all their doctors are excellent.” Linda was up and walking the same day of surgery and mowing the lawn four weeks later. “Now I’m on a volleyball team. I feel great!”
