PUBLISHER’S LETTER

Dear Readers, One of the things that I want to do as I get older is travel and explore our state, our country, and our world. Since I didn’t get my passport until I was 50, up to a year ago I had only traveled in the US and Canada. With residences in Asheboro and Ecuador, I have begun my journey to explore a bit more of the world.

This month, I’ve spent three weeks living in Ecuador, enjoying time with Dave.

Between Valentine’s Day and celebrating my 24th anniversary married to my best friend, it’s been a wonderful time. I feel like I am very lucky that I have two communities that I truly feel I belong to. Asheboro is my home, and Ecuador is my heart and both places are very special to me for different reasons.

This March we are hosting our 5th Annual Bridal & Prom Show at 105 Worth Event Centre. It will be bigger and better than ever with more vendors and a runway show that showcases both prom, bridal and resort wear. 4 Moons Travel is sponsoring a honeymoon giveaway - an all-inclusive three nights four-day stay at the Couples Resort Jamaica. If you know of any special couples getting married in the near future, do them a favor and tell them about the show.

ASK THE EXPERT YOUR FEET

Don’t Let Winter Be Your ‘Fall’ Season Icy conditions cause falls and broken ankles

W

ith the hectic pace of the holidays, serious injuries from ice-related falls inevitably occur.

Falls on icy surfaces are a major cause of ankle sprains and fractures, and it’s critical to seek prompt treatment to prevent further damage that can prolong recovery. The ankle joint in particular is vulnerable to serious injury from hard falls, twists or sprains.

Ice, Compression and Elevation – until you can be seen.

Ice accelerates a fall. The speed in which one slips is much faster and often causes more severe trauma because the foot can go in any direction after slipping. In cases of less severe fractures and sprains, it’s possible to walk and mistakenly believe the injury doesn’t require medical treatment. Never assume the ability to walk means your ankle isn’t broken or badly sprained. Putting weight on the injured joint can worsen the problem and lead to chronic instability, joint pain and arthritis later in life.

• Bruising soon after the injury

Some people may fracture and sprain an ankle at the same time, and a bad sprain can mask the fracture. It is best to have your foot or ankle evaluated as soon as possible to properly diagnose any problems. If you can’t get to a doctor’s office right away, follow the RICE technique – Rest,

Fractures are often associated with: • Pain at the site of the fracture that can extend from the foot to the knee • Significant swelling • Blisters over the fracture site • Bone protruding through the skin—a compound fracture, which requires immediate attention!

Most ankle fractures and some sprains are treated by immobilizing the joint in a cast or splint to foster union and healing. However, surgery may be needed to repair fractures with significant mal-alignment to unite bone fragments and realign them properly. With newer bone-fixation methods, however, there are smaller incisions to minimize tissue damage and bleeding, leading to a quicker recovery time.

For further information about ankle fractures and sprains or other foot and ankle problems, contact Triad Foot Center in Asheboro at 336.625.1950 or visit TriadFoot.com.

The only thing more unexpected than his stroke was how fast he recovered.

Last spring, James Pinnix missed just four and a half days of work after suffering a major stroke. One Monday, he experienced numbness on his right side. A week later, he was completely recovered. In between, James was rushed to the Cone Health Stroke Center where he underwent an innovative new procedure to remove a blood clot from his brain. Now he is happily working on a more enjoyable type of stroke — the one attached to his golf game.

Macular Degeneration Prevention

A

lthough macular degeneration prevention is possible, there isn’t a foolproof method of avoiding the disease. There are, however, steps you can take to help reduce your risk.

Pay special attention to prevention if you already have a diagnosis of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) or if the disease runs in your family. AMD is the leading cause of irreversible vision loss among people older than 60 years of age. In time, a person with macular degeneration may find it difficult or impossible to read, drive or recognize familiar faces.

• Wear appropriate sunglasses outdoors to block UV rays that may cause eye damage.

• Schedule regular eye exams.

If you are strongly genetically predisposed to develop macular degeneration, it may still progress.

Regular eye exams can help your eye doctor detect AMD early and monitor it so that you can receive proper AMD treatment as soon as you need it.

North Carolina Zoo Acquires Another Polar Bear

he North Carolina Zoo is starting the New Year with an iconic new addition to its animal collection. Nikita, a 9-year-old male polar bear was safely relocated to Asheboro from the Kansas City (Mo.) Zoo in January.

Nikita will join the N.C. Zoo’s 16-year old female polar bear Anana on exhibit. First, he will be placed into the Zoo’s polar bear holding quarters so zookeepers can see how he acclimates to his new surroundings before making a decision on when he will be viewable by the public.

Nikita’s move was recommended by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums’ (AZA) Species Survival Plan Program, which manages animal populations in zoos.

“We are honored and thrilled that our Zoo was chosen to

be Nikita’s new home,” said Pat Simmons, Director of the North Carolina Zoo. “Hopefully, we can breed Anana and Nikita. Our polar bear habitat is designed to maximize the chance of breeding Nikita and Anana. Polar bears tend to breed in the winter, so Nikita’s arrival is perfect timing.”

Less than 20 percent of AZA-accredited zoos have polar bears and only 60 polar bears are on exhibit in the United States. This means that all polar bears in zoos are genetically important for the species.

“We would like to thank the staff at the Kansas City Zoo and the community in Kansas City for making Nikita’s transfer to our Zoo a smooth one. So far Nikita is adjusting well to his new home,” said Ken Reininger, animal curator at the N.C. Zoo.

Nikita was born at the Toledo Zoo. He arrived in Kansas City in 2010 when he was 3 years old. Anana, whose name means “beautiful” in Inuit, was born at the Seneca Park Zoo (Rochester, N.Y.) in November 1999. She arrived at the Lincoln Park Zoo in 2001 and was moved to the North Carolina Zoo in September 2014.

In a few weeks, the Zoo will have a welcome party for Nikita. Details surrounding the party will be released to the public soon.

Zoo visitors may get to see Nikita and Anana, the Zoo’s other polar bear, although they will be in separate exhibits. They both will have access to be on or off exhibit. Although Nikita and Anana may be visible to the public, over the next couple of weeks, Zoo visitors may not see the polar bears due to zookeepers introducing the animals to each other behind the scenes. Love is in the air and zookeepers hope to pair Nikita and Anana in the same exhibit.

Spring into Youth Programs at YOUR YMCA

L

ast fall, the Y offered a new program, youth volleyball, to girls from 3rd-8th grade.

While nobody was sure what to expect, the demand was overwhelming. We hosted over 100 girls and had 12 teams total competing in two age groups. Pfeiffer University was also gracious enough to host a skills camp and training session for our girls. With the success of the program and the demand in the area, we are pleased to announce that we will be doing it again this Spring. Girls will be broken up into teams, given skills clinics, and play games weekly. They will learn basics and enhance their already growing skills against good competition in a supportive environment. We are encouraged by the quick growth of the newest sport offered here at the Randolph-Asheboro YMCA, and hope for a great turnout.

The Benefits of Grounding

C

urrent research focuses on the health benefits of walking, running, working, and sleeping on the bare ground to normalize the electricity in your body.

The idea is to push your extra energy into the ground and leave it there or draw energy from the ground to feel more powerful. Going barefoot leaves you feeling centered and focused for the rest of the day and is very beneficial in many other ways.

The health benefits are enormous, as are the spiritual benefits, even if you don’t have a religion. When you are grounded, you have sent all of your nervous energy away (like the negative energy you picked up from mainstream media or cell phones).Your focus can become utterly clear and you can concentrate on any physical part of your anatomy to regulate how it works.You can cause your blood pressure to drop, your pulse to regulate and your neural patterns to remain calm because there is no extra adrenaline pumping through you.

Another benefit of grounding is that your lungs will fill more completely with deeper breaths and as a result you get more oxygen to your brain. If you are relaxed and your blood pressure is contained, your whole body will relax and the rest of your life will fall into place. Any contact with the earth is welcome, so if you’d like to walk barefoot instead of sitting on the hard earth, you still get residual health benefits. Walking barefoot is good for weak foot arches, especially along different terrains. Not only can you be as calm as possible with grounding, but your body can begin to shape up with this activity as well.

The spiritual benefits of Grounding are amazing also.

Using this particular activity keeps us healthy spiritually, which leads to higher self esteem and a higher self worth.

Grounding your energy is mandatory when you are about to perform heavy meditative procedures, because you

38

Asheboro Magazine, Issue 63

by jacquie Reininger

cannot find your center if you are pumped full of the days’ thoughts and worries. In chakra exercises, it is best if you ground first and then begin to open up your chakras instead of trying to open them immediately upon entering a meditative state. Grounding is viewed as a two-way communication – you can push and pull as much energy as you need from the earth, and therefore, focus completely on your task. The main idea of grounding is focus – whether you are using it for religious or health conscious purposes.

Everyone understands that if you are spiritually healthy, the body will follow.

So let’s do it, then. Let’s go sit on the grassy knoll. Let’s take our shoes off and take a walk in the forest and let the earth do its part in our health and well being by taking care of ourselves and bundling all of our nervous energy into the ground.You and everyone around you will benefit from doing this, so why not try it?

Located at 218 South Fayetteville Street in downtown Asheboro, Four Saints features North Carolina-based artists as part of their “Great Beer for Great People” beginning business model. “We believe the arts are an integral part of every healthy and thriving community,” according to Joel McClosky, Chief Executive of Four Saints. “Being able to showcase visual artists in our taproom through this project is one way we can support, enliven, and encourage the arts in our rejuvenating community.”

Each of the selected artists will create a separate artwork on-site utilizing a designated 12 feet long by 5 feet high blank wall in the Four Saints Tasting Room. Public work sessions from each artist serve to encourage creative dialogue during taproom hours. Each of the five works of art will be on display for a period of three months.

The complete Art Wall Project, with rotating art installations, begins March 2016 and concludes October 2017. Each artist will be honored with a public meet-and-greet reception. As an added

bonus each artist will also design a limited edition t-shirt to commemorate their project. The exclusive merchandise will be available to the public.

Four Saints Brewing Company tapped Asheborobased artist and art advocate Les Caison III to head up this project. According to McClosky, “We originally asked Les to create one mural in our business. After considering our needs he returned with a proposal featuring several artists, multiple artworks, and options for reaching a larger viewing audience with exclusive merchandise. He is truly thinking of the community, our business, and the arts. We are honored to have him interpret our ideas in such an innovative, community-based manner.”

The production for the first of five art projects begins March 2016 with ToroCity Designs made up of a duo of artists based in Durham, NC: David Wilson and Mike Garci. Their finished project will be on display April through June 2016.

The Randolph Arts Guild offer Ukrainian Egg Craft Class with Karen McFetters

“P

The vibrant colors are dyed onto each egg with imagery and design symbolizing good luck, prosperity and the arrival of Spring. Local heritage craft guru, Karen McFetters offers two opportunities to learn this ancient craft at the Randolph Arts Guild. Each class costs $50 for guild members and $55 for non-members. All materials are included and you take home two completed eggs, egg stands, and a full pysanky kit (so you can make them at home). Your choice of two dates for this class are Saturday, March 12 or 19 from 10 a.m -- 3 p.m. Registrants are encouraged to bring their own lunch. Payment and completed registration are required for enrollment. This class meets at the Randolph Arts Guild located in downtown Asheboro at 123 Sunset Avenue.

RECIPES

S

t. Patrick’s Day is a cultural and religious celebration on March 17th, the date of Saint Patrick’s death, one of the most popular patron saints of Ireland. It was created to celebrate the heritage and culture of Ireland. In modern times, we celebrate it by drinking green beer and eating many traditional Irish dishes. Although I don’t recommend ruining a perfectly good beer with a bit of food coloring, here are several amazing recipes where you can put that beer to good use.

Irish Beef Stew with Stout One (Four Saints Brewing Company) 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 onion, chopped 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

2 pounds beef stew meat, cubed 3 cups stout beer (such as Stout One from Four Saints Brewing Company) 2 potatoes, peeled and sliced Salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions: 1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in the onion, garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the beef, beer, sliced potatoes.

2. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the beef is tender, about 2 hours.

3. Season to taste with salt and pepper before serving with irish soda bread.

Dave’s Cottage Pie

10 large potatoes - peeled and cubed 1/2 cup milk 1 tablespoon butter 1 pound lean ground beef 1 medium onion, chopped 2 cloves garlic, chopped 1 tablespoon fennel seed

1/2 Cup Worchestershire Sauce 12 oz Stout One (Four Saints Brewing Company) 2 cans Fresh Cut Corn Kernels

Directions 1. Place the potatoes in a pot with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook until tender. Drain and mash with desired amounts of milk and butter. Set aside.

2. While the potatoes are cooking, crumble the ground beef into a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until meat is no longer pink.

3. Add fennel seed, Stout and Worcestershire sauce to the mix and let simmer for approximately 15 to 20 minutes, until you have a thick sauce (you don’t want to make it too dry). Add the corn with 10 minutes to go.

4. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Layer the beef mixture into the bottom of a greased 13x9 baking pan, then layer the potatoes on top. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until potatoes are lightly toasted.
