KENNY SEABOLT CONSTRUCTION

One Call Handles It All Born in Randolph County in 1967, Kenny Seabolt relocated to Chattanooga, Tennessee with his family in 1976, where he finished school. He moved back to the area in 1985, and he worked with his cousin Bobby Lucas for three years in construction. After that, he accepted a position at Klaussner Furniture as a “setup� man and built frames for furniture. He stayed with Klaussner for 18 months before leaving to go back into construction.

8 | Asheboro Magazine - Issue 45

Initially, he worked for another company for five years, before deciding to open his own construction business in 1994 in a joint venture with his father. In the beginning, they worked on any home improvement project they could get, the type of jobs that no one else wanted to bother with because they were too small or too messy. Odd jobs, small jobs, they did them all. Kenny quickly built a reputation for quality work at an honest and affordable price, and his client base grew by word of mouth. He and his dad fixed

and repaired rotted wood, termite damage, handled many remodeling jobs large and small, and built additions for their clients, as well as installing vinyl siding and windows.

Kenny’s Dad retired in 2004 after 10 years, and Kenny now runs the business with a crew of 10 guys – 7 full-time on the roofing crew and 3 full-time guys who handle everything else. His son Nathan worked summers throughout high school and is working with him now fulltime until he goes to college.

Kenny and his crew can handle any general contracting services - one call handles it all. If they can’t do it, they know a reputable qualified local professional that they can sub the work out to. Many of the jobs they do now consist of remodeling homes, constructing additions and burn work. If you have experienced a fire, after the remediation experts are finished with your home, Kenny can restore it to its former condition – replacing boards that have become structurally unsound, and rebuilding it better than before.

His crew is currently working on the Headstart program building in Asheboro which recently suffered an electrical fire. They have gutted the building completely, tearing out all the damaged boards and are completely rebuilding it.

They do a lot of work through Randolph Hospital and the CAP program, building handicap ramps and making residences more handicap accessible for their patients when they return home.

Over the years, Kenny has developed a great relationship with his suppliers and works with some of the best in the business. He works exclusively with Owens Corning for his roofing, Norandex for vinyl siding, and Simondton Windows. He has found that the quality of the products these companies offer and their customer service is far superior to other brands and he will not compromise when it comes to client satisfaction. He has used these companies for over 20 years, and they have always done what they said they were going to do and they stand by their products, no matter what. Since that is how Kenny does business, he

likes to work with companies with similar philosophies.

Rodney Hall has been friends with Kenny for over 20 years, and works as Foreman on all Kenny’s construction jobs. If Kenny can’t be on the job site, he knows the customer is in good hands with Rodney on the job. Jose Martinez runs the roofing crews, and Kenny is confident in the ability of his crew to represent his company in the best possible manner and do a great job.

In addition to Asheboro, Kenny and his crew work not only all over Randolph County, but have and will travel for their clients. They have worked on many projects up and down the East Coast. They have also been hired to work on a home on Lake Norman for a client.

Kenny met his wife, Molly close to 10 years ago when she worked at a local flooring company as an interior design consultant. They worked closely on many clients’ projects together over the years, and became good friends. They began dating after several years, and got married in August, 2012. Since many of his projects involve interior design, in her position at Majestic Flooring she is still able to work closely with him helping clients achieve the look and feel they want in their home. He trusts her instincts when it comes to putting together the right elements for a room – paint, flooring and carpet, as well as other interior design work.

In his spare time, Kenny enjoys playing golf. He enjoys playing at the Tot Hill and Asheboro County Club courses quite a bit, and plays as often as he can during the good weather.

Kenny was recently asked to consult on the possible restoration of a house located in Ramseur. The client met him at the house, where they walked through the property, discussing what needed to be done in each room. This particular house was used in the filming of “Children of the Corn,” and while he may or may not take the job, it was very interesting to check out the house.

All of Kenny’s business comes from satisfied customers

After - Sunporch Addition

spreading the word to their friends and neighbors about his services. A lot of his customers bring him repeat business, coming back with new projects. “I am grateful for all of the customers I have worked with over the past 20 years.

I wouldn’t be where I am without their support and the confidence they show in my company.”

With two full-time crews, Kenny looks forward to working on your project in the near future. 

“I have utilized Seabolt Construction for almost 10 years now and have been very pleased with the attention to detail, ability and desire to make changes at my request and the finished project. Their work is always completed in a timely manner and the professional quality of work is superior. Kenny has an ability and willingness to really listen, along with his creative ability to take my half-formed ideas and come up with logical, high-quality results was (and is) very impressive. I’m pleased to recommend Seabolt Construction to other prospective clients and look forward to the opportunity to do business with them in the future.“

New Chamber President Named

T

he Asheboro/Randolph Chamber of Commerce announced at their Board Meeting today that Linda Brown, the former Randolph TDA Executive Director, has been named their new Chamber President. Brown steps in beginning June 30th for the retiring President, George Gusler.

Gusler led the Chamber for 20 years – taking it from a membership of 427 to nearly 650 members today. At this afternoon’s Board Meeting, Chairman Art Martinez thanked Gusler for his years of dedication, his leadership, and for setting the stage for future growth. “George has built a solid foundation here that makes our community proud.”

The Chamber’s Selection Committee, made up of Board Members and former Board Chairs, had a pool of over 40 candidates from which to choose. Martinez said “we were very pleased with the caliber of candidates that stepped forward. This was a national search, so we had applicants that came from several states”. In all, the Team spent more than 2 12 | Asheboro Magazine - Issue 45

months to whittle the field down to 11, and then to 5 finalists.

“The Team was impressed with Linda’s years of experience working in both private and public non-profits, and that she’s accustomed to leading organizations that exist through fundraising and membership development efforts.”

“It’s daunting to come in behind someone with George’s legacy”, shared Brown. “But having been a member of this organization in the past, and knowing the quality of the Chamber staff that’s already in place, I am looking forward to this opportunity. Our shared goal is to make Asheboro and Randolph County a great place to live, work, and do business.”

Brown led the Randolph TDA from 2001-2004. Her career includes having been Executive Director of Tourism Grays Harbor, and VP Community Development, Foundation, Marketing, and Public Relations at Grays Harbor Community Hospital (both in Washington state). She currently works as Senior Director of Business Services at KnowledgeNet in Tempe, AZ where her focus has been on organizational excellence and workplace culture. “An engaged workforce translates into a successful company. We’ll be applying some of those same practices with our Chamber membership in order to build on the success that’s already here.”

When asked about making the move from Arizona to Asheboro, Brown expressed “it feels like coming home. Our daughter was born here; our son graduated high school here.

We’re very excited to be moving back into the community.”

Her husband, Pat, is an Advertising Consultant at The CourierTribune, and 11 year old daughter Makenzie is a rising 6th grader. 

Ask the Expert - Yard Pests

Q&A With Mosquito Squad Q: Are Mosquitos harmful to my family? (what diseases do Q: How long does the treatment last/how often should we they transmit?)

A: More than just an annoyance, the mosquito is the

deadliest animal on the planet. Millions of people are killed by mosquito-borne diseases each year globally.

In the US, we tend to be less aware of the deadly role mosquitoes play, but over 1,000 Americans each year experience serious illness or death as a result of a mosquito bite. With just one bite it can cause great havoc by spreading devastating illnesses like West Nile Virus, Encephalitis, Malaria, Chikungunya and even Heartworm in pets.

Q: Are pesticides used in Mosquito Control harmful to people or pets?

A: Mosquito Squad’s EPA registered product is people and pet friendly. Our class of products can be found in many household products like head lice shampoos, pet flea collars and sprays, and many agricultural applications such as standard treatments for fruit and ornamental plants. All we ask is that you make certain the treatment is allowed to dry, which is approximately 30 minutes after application. Once the product is dry, it does not rub or wipe off easily.

Q: How long do Mosquitos live?

A: In the right weather conditions, mosquito eggs can hatch in 1-5 days. And the adult female mosquito, famously known for biting and taking a blood meal, can live as little as 3 days and up to 100 days.

Q: How high can mosquitos fly?

A: The American Mosquito Control Association reports that in general, mosquitoes that bite humans prefer to fly at heights of less than 25 ft.

have the yard sprayed

A: Our most popular service is the 21-day Barrier Spray

program. Mosquito Squad applicators treat standing water and any other potential mosquito breeding sites with larvacide to eliminate any existing larvae and to greatly reduce future mosquito hatchings. Then our applicators will treat key areas in your outdoor space to eliminate any adult mosquitoes and establish a barrier against any mosquitoes that enter your yard thereafter.

Mosquito Squad will then return to your property approximately every 21 days to maintain the barrier against mosquitoes. ď‚™

exhibition of this artistic caliber and merit - I just hope we don’t “foul” it up.” Derrick continued through unbridled fits of laughter and puns… “Seriously we’re “egg-cited” about this show and the “meat” of the matter is that though it may look like we’re “winging” it, we really think that a show like this gives us a “leg”-up on what other arts councils are currently doing.” Finally with a smile that can only express just how long he was waiting to his final pun Derrick added, “I think once it is on display people are really going to “flock” to see it.”

The exhibition is open to any chicken themed work of art in any media. The Randolph Arts Guild has tapped Honorable Chick-fil-A Gallus Domesticus expert, Sam Ramsey, who has dedicated his life to breasts, legs and thighs (he’s not a wing man) to curate the exhibition.

primarily when there is inadequate water or oil. The lacrimal gland in the outer corner of each eye is responsible for water production, and smaller glands lining each eyelid produce the oil layer. The most common cause of dry eye is due to a malfunction of the oil glands lining the eyelid. This results in the tears evaporating too rapidly preventing lubrication.

Surprisingly, tearing is one of the most common symptoms. This is due to a lack of the oil component in the tears. The oil is required for the tears to function as a lubricant as opposed to just water. Without the oil component, we continue to produce water in excess in an attempt to lubricate the eye, resulting in an overflow of tears.

Burning, stinging, redness, foreign body sensation, and blurred vision may occur intermittently in early stages, and become more persistent as the condition progresses.

Over the counter artificial tears and gels are good starting points. Eyelid hygiene is also very important. Cleaning the lids and lashes at bedtime helps remove debris from the lashes, and combined with warm compresses may help open clogged oil glands.

Avoid air currents directed toward your face, such as the heat or AC vents in the car. Ceiling fans in the bedroom can be the source of waking with red irritated eyes.

Vitamin supplements with omega 3s have antiinflammatory properties which may aid in tear production.

See your eye doctor to diagnose the type of dry eye you have, which allows you and your doctor to determine the best treatment plan.

The treatment depends on whether the dry eye is evaporative (oil deficient) or aqueous deficient (lack of water). The best method of treating evaporative dry eye is to restore the function of the oil producing glands lining the rim of the eyelid. This is best accomplished by a procedure utilizing heat and massage to reestablish most of the glands at once. There are also tear supplements which attempt to replenish the oil component. Aqueous deficient dry eye is treated with artificial tears, and gels. Your eye doctor may also suggest plugs in the ducts that drain tears from your eye to your sinuses. This keeps the tears in contact with the eye

Ask the Expert-Your Taxes

Tax Planning

S

o we are almost half-way through the year and I’m sure you are not thinking about taxes. However, now is a fantastic time to start making plans about this year’s taxes so when you file your taxes next year there are no surprises. There are several very good reasons on why spending a little time now will save you from any surprises.

Let’s start with the tax return you just filed. Make sure you put the return AND the supporting documentation in a safe place. Just keeping your return safe doesn’t mean a lot to the IRS if you lose the proof. We recommend keeping your return 4 years if you have just W-2s and a Schedule A. If you are self-employed, we recommend 7 years.

Additionally if you have a major event in your tax return like selling your house, we recommend keeping that tax return forever. Make sure you save your receipts in a climate controlled area because a lot of receipts are now heat sensitive and can become blank.

While I mentioned keeping receipts,

now is a great time to keep receipts for itemizing deductions. I know you are doing some spring/summer cleaning.

In my house we do a major purge of kids clothes (the clothes they have grown out of) in July. If you give these clothes to Salvation Army or Goodwill, make sure you track everything you gave – not 4 bags of stuff. Detail counts when dealing with the IRS, so write down that you gave away 5 pairs of jeans, 4 shirts, etc. The IRS allows a deduction on the amount these items would sell for in their stores. Also keep track of the mileage driving there and back. You can deduct 14 cents a mile when you drive for charitable purposes (Now that is digging for every penny!!).

Take action when life changes occur.

We work with clients every year that have a major life change (separation, divorce, losing kids as a deduction, kid turns 17, etc.) and they do not plan for this change. What usually happens is that their refund is either very little or they owe. So avoid any possible surprises and make sure you change

your W-4 withholdings immediately after a one of these life events.

Speaking of withholding, are you having enough tax withheld for North Carolina purposes? Remember NC drastically changed how they calculate individual income taxes. This is why you had to fill out a new NC-4 in December. In order to pay for lowering the state income tax rate from a high of 7.75% to 5.8%, the General Assembly eliminated many deductions and credits. Among the deductions and credits eliminated: a cap on itemized deductions, the deduction for personal exemptions, the kids college savings (Section 529) deduction, the North Carolina earned income credit (still available for Federal purposes), the child and dependent care credit.

As you can see there have been a lot of changes. Do you want to make sure your withholding is enough, come by our office and we can help you figure it out Our Liberty Tax location is at 405 East Dixie Drive, Suite J, in between di’lishi and Jimmy Johns or call us at 336-629-4700. 

room, and could easily hop over to the vendor area. Since my ticket included a glass of Cabernet Franc, I decided to begin my visit by simply relaxing at the table enjoying the music and the view. My Travel Feet, who were also coming off of a frantically busy week, greatly appreciated the decision as they rested propped on the chair next to mine.

However, it didn’t take long for my Travel Feet to start twitching. In a few hours, it would be Mother’s Day. They knew I had not yet purchased anything for my beautiful mother. But then, I knew there would be artisan vendors at the festival, so subconsciously, I was probably waiting so I’d have an excuse to shop at the vineyard.

My Travel Feet meandered around each of the vendors giving my wandering eyes a chance to absorb the eclectic wares. Once my brain processed all the beautiful crafts and jewelry, I made my way back to the table with the hummingbird feeders. Mom had recently set up a village of bird feeders in her courtyard. An upcycled, hand painted feeder would be perfect for her growing bird sanctuary.

2014 Special Olympics Disney World in Randolph County? You might not think so, unless you were fortunate enough to attend the 2014 Special Olympic Games of Randolph County on May 7th, hosted by Southwestern Randolph High School; at least according to Daisy Martinez. Daisy described the day as “Just like playing at Mickey Mouse’s house!” And so it was as she says, the most fun and games and friends that you could find anywhere close to Asheboro, NC. 32 | Asheboro Magazine - Issue 45

Mr. Larry Pearce and the Randolph County Special Olympics Committee, once again, did a bang-up job planning, organizing and executing the games and events.

The theme this year was, “Bad to the Bone,” with a Western twang to it. All participating schools, from Ulah to Liberty to Archdale-Trinity, made banners to carry in the parade and to display outside of their camps to show their competitive and contagious spirits. Judges had a mind-boggling task, and agreed that every school in attendance, represented their schools in an award-winning way! All schools worked passionately on their banners and kicked-up their heels to take home the gold!

Athletes ranged in ages from six to twenty-one and could participate in as many events, and as long as, they could last!

The events included a softball throw, relay races, wheelchair races, and various other events where every participant earned a ribbon. There were many teachers, parents and friends on hand to cheer for the athletes and even a few

“characters.” Jakob Carter was shocked and yelled to his teacher, “Even the Energizer Bunny came all the way out here to cheer for me!” The Bunny kept good company among his other animated friends: the Chik-fil-a cow, Sparky the fire dog, the SECU Fat Cat, and various wildcats and cougars. You just never know who might show-up at Special Olympics!

It certainly takes a village to stage a Special Olympics and this was evident by the over one-hundred student volunteers who helped the athletes find their ways to events, games, food, bathrooms and other locations. These students made sure we all adhered to the tight schedule so that we could make the most of our time together. They also encouraged and motivated the athletes and cheered them on when they became hot and tired. When the athletes were asked about their favorites parts of the day, Tyquasia Bowden responded, “I couldn’t believe it! Wesley (Williams) and Logan (Brinkley) ran along beside me and

AsheboroMagazine.com | 33

screamed, ‘Come on Ty! You are a winner!’ It made me feel like a winner!” These volunteers showed compassion and selflessness way beyond their years.

There are hundreds of comments that could be made about Special Olympics, but Raejuana Brown said it best. “I hate to sit down and be quiet. I didn’t have to sit down or be quiet all day! I want to do this every day!” Thank you to everyone who gave of their time and resources to make this incredible day possible.

Then Randolph County Special Olympics committee holds a golf tournament every year to raise money so that Special Olympics is a free event for the athletes to enjoy.

34 | Asheboro Magazine - Issue 45

The 14th Annual SORC Golf Tournament was held May 1, 2014, at Holly Ridge Golf Course and hosted eighty-eight golfers. Whether you would like to play in the tournament, advertise during the tournament or simply enjoy watching, remember that this is a wonderful opportunity to help raise money for your community’s Special Olympics. The tournament will again be held in April or May of 2015, so watch for your chance to participate. In the meantime, if you would like to volunteer or make a donation to the Randolph County Special Olympics, please contact Linda Needham at 336-672-2097. 

Investing in Yourself

Why Good Dental Care is a Smart Investment

T

he market is up, the market is down. Real estate‌well, it’s just down. So what is a wise investment these days?

Without a doubt, investing your time and resources in your own health and well-being is one of the smartest things you can do. The returns are great when you invest in a regular exercise program, a healthy diet, regular preventive health care, and, of course, good dental care.

Many of us will live quite a number of years after retirement age. What quality of life do you envision for

yourself in your golden years? This is where the returns can be great from investing in your health. On the flip side, the costs can be astronomical when dealing with the accumulated effects of poor lifestyle choices over many years. There was a time when many people assumed they would eventually lose their teeth. And this was often true, due to limited access to dental care and a lack of understanding of dental disease progression. Today, while there is certainly a point of no return, we have the knowledge and skills to restore most people to

excellent esthetics and function, in spite of genetics or past poor dental care.

However, the earlier a commitment is made to invest in good quality regular dental care, the less expensive it will be!

So what are the benefits of investing in good dental care? Of course, avoidance of pain contributes a great deal to a good quality of life!

healthy, attractive smile for a lifetime. Things like interestfree financing options and healthcare savings accounts (HSAs) can be valuable tools in making this investment.

As a final thought, I would like to propose to you that you think of your dental health in terms of a “master plan.”

What would you like your teeth to look and feel like in 10, 20, or 30 years? What type of care and treatment would it take to achieve that? How well do you feel you can communicate what you would like to achieve with your dentist so that together you can formulate a plan? Keep in mind that most smile makeovers do not occur overnight.

Whether your goal is simply avoiding future cavities or a full mouth rehabilitation, it takes planning, an assessment of what has led to your current condition, and thoughtful consideration of what specific treatments and time frame would best suit your unique needs. This in turn would lead to a “master plan” giving you a blueprint of how to go from

Express Employment Wins

Inavero’s Best of Staffing® Client Award

E

xpress Employment Professionals announced that it has won Inavero’s Best of Staffing® Client Award for the fifth straight year. Best of Staffing®, presented in partnership with CareerBuilder, is the nation’s only satisfaction award that recognizes exceptional client service within the staffing industry. This year, Express has also been named an Inavero’s Best of Staffing® Diamond Award Winner for achieving the honor five years in a row.

“Less than two percent of staffing firms in the U.S. and Canada have been named to the Best of Staffing List for Client Satisfaction,” said David Blalock, franchise owner of the Express Asheboro office. “We are proud and honored to be recognized for our customer service efforts in this way.”

Staffing firms competing to make the Best of Staffing Client list underwent a rigorous client survey process followed by careful analysis of responses to determine satisfaction levels. Express received satisfaction ratings of 9

336-626-7511 40 | Asheboro Magazine - Issue 45

or 10 out of 10 from 73 percent of their clients, significantly higher than the industry’s average of 35 percent.

“We are seeing more and more companies incorporate staffing services into their hiring strategies,” Blalock said.

“Due to a shift in hiring strategies and increased demand for talented job candidates, companies who use staffing firms expect impeccable service more than they ever have before.

And that’s what Express delivers.”

Inavero designs and manages satisfaction surveys and analyzes feedback from more than 500,000 staffing firm clients and talent each year, and serves as the American Staffing Association’s exclusive research partner.

The Asheboro Express office is a franchise of Express Employment Professionals and puts people to work. In 2013, the company generated more than $2.5 billion in temporary sales and employed nearly 400,000 people. Express ranks as the largest privately held staffing company in the United States. 

SVP Community Theatre will be producing Rodgers and Hammerstein’s The Sound of Music this summer as the grand finale of their Best of the Sunset Season. Director Scott Lilly will be at the helm of this show, and he heartily invites the Asheboro community to come out and audition.

The Sound of Music was originally produced on Broadway in 1959, and it has since become one of the most beloved and recognizable musicals of all time. The unforgettable film adaptation, the songs we all know by heart, and the charm of seven singing children dressed in curtains have made it a staple in the world of amateur theatre for the past fifty years.

“The challenge we’ve set for ourselves and this particular production,” Scott told me, “is to let go of all preconceived notions about the show, and to focus on telling the story that the text, the music, and our imaginations tell to us. To me, this story is about finding one’s purpose; it’s about a young woman finding her place in Life through faith and family. It’s also a story about the power of music and its ability to reshape our lives. Live music and theatre affects us in a way no other entertainment medium can, and on any scale, in any venue, music has the ability to clear our minds, open our eyes, and touch our hearts.”

Scott has lent his imagination and talent to RSVP before.

He served as assistant director in Camelot, director for Don’t Cry For Me, Margaret Mitchell, and both organized and directed a re-imagined production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, which was the inaugural performance of the 42 | Asheboro Magazine - Issue 45

by Jordan Willis

Community’s new ‘Shakespeare in the Park’ program. As he prepares to direct once again, he promises that “The Sound of Music will be unlike anything you’ve seen or heard from RSVP before!”

RSVP is seeking brave, high-energy adventurers with positive and collaborative attitudes to help make this show the most fun and memorable production in RSVP history.

Auditions will be held upstairs at the Randolph Arts Guild.

Auditions for children ages 6-14 will be held on Saturday, May 31st from 12-4pm (parents of children who’d like to audition and adults who cannot make it Monday are welcome, too.), and auditions for adults/young adults will be Monday evening, June 2nd, from 5-9pm. Individuals auditioning should prepare a song under one minute in length “Pick something you love to sing; this should be fun!” advises Director Lilly. An accompanist will be present, but those auditioning may use a CD, or sing a cappella. People trying out for Maria and the Captain, who play the guitar, may accompany themselves. Everyone may be asked to read from a script (no preparation necessary) and to try a brief dance combination.

Performances for this show will take place in Asheboro’s Historic Sunset Theatre, July 25-27, and August 8-10. For more information on this exciting production, you can visit rsvptheatre.org, or check out RSVP Community Theatre’s Facebook page. Both pages are updated frequently, so be sure to check back often for new information. 

Ask the Expert-Your Hearing

BITING BACK AT HEARING LOSS A NEW TECH SOLUTION FOR SINGLE-SIDED DEAFNESS QUESTION: I suffer from hearing loss in one ear. Are there any other options out there for help that do not require major invasive surgery?

ANSWER: Your hearing is precious.

Without it, connecting to the world around you can be difficult; and the condition of single-sided deafness (a loss of hearing in one ear) can present additional challenges such as missing out on conversations in noisy rooms, having to find the right seat at an event or meeting, being unable to hear traffic as you walk across a street or parking lot, or experiencing confusion as to which direction a car may be approaching.

Fortunately, The Hearing Clinic is the first practice in the Piedmont Triad to offer a new non-surgical hearing option for those struggling with single-sided deafness----one that uses your own teeth! SoundBite™ is the world’s first removable and non-

surgical hearing solution to use the well-established principle of bone conduction to inconspicuously transmit sound via the teeth to the inner ear.

Simple and free of invasive surgery or a permanent implant, each device is custom fit for the individual patient and is virtually invisible to the general public when worn.

The SoundBite™ has two pieces. A small behind-the-ear hearing aid with a small microphone sits in the impaired ear. It transmits to a mouthpiece worn over two upper molars like a retainer. The vibrations in the jaw reach the cochlea of the healthy ear and are processed by the brain. Bone conduction has been a fairly effective treatment for people with single-sided hearing loss, especially compared to conventional hearing aids that serve to amplify sound. In addition to having a working cochlea, a candidate for SoundBite™ must have two adult

molars in place.

More than nine million Americans are affected by single-sided deafness.

It can be caused by a number of factors including trauma, damage to bones around the middle ear, Meniere’s diseases, and such diseases as meningitis and measles. An estimated additional 50,000 people in the United States alone acquire the condition each year as well.

Improving your ability to hear and understand speech is crucial to having a better quality of life.

With improvements in hearing loss technology, you don’t have to accept single-sided deafness and the special challenges it presents. Contact The Hearing Clinic at one of our three Piedmont Triad locations to determine if the SoundBite™ technology is a viable option for you. Regain your spatial hearing ability and rejoin the conversation of life! 

Brooke Miller, Au.D. - A native of the Piedmont Triad, Dr. Miller received a bachelor’s degree in communication sciences and disorders from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and a doctor of audiology from James Madison University. She has worked at the University of Virginia and the Martinsburg (WV) Veterans Administration, and has volunteered with the Special Olympics.

Dr. Miller’s specialties include diagnostic hearing, balance and vestibular testing. She has a personal interest in other musicians with hearing loss and hearing protection, as well as long-term management of hearing loss in both the adult and special needs populations.

Ask the Expert - Your Money

The True Definition of a Fixed Annuity

I

have read many articles on annuities and in most cases the writer lumps all annuities into the same category or describes them the way they were designed 80 years ago.

Today, fixed annuities have a place in an investment portfolio. Here is a true definition of fixed annuities (in my own words).

A fixed annuity is a policy offered by an Insurance Company. A good fixed annuity guarantees the interest rate for a certain number of years, typically 3-10 years.

A fixed annuity has no annual fees or investment fees. 100% of the money earns interest. The only fee in a fixed annuity would be an early surrender charge should you surrender the policy before the end of the term.

The interest earned in a fixed annuity grows taxdeferred until the interest is withdrawn. If you do not

make a withdrawal from the annuity, it is possible to leave it to your beneficiaries after your death and never pay income taxes on the money yourself! However…. your beneficiaries will pay income taxes upon inheriting the money.

If you leave the annuity to your spouse….your spouse can take over the contract and still not have to pay income taxes either.

Fixed annuity rates can be much higher than CD rates offered by a bank, and along with tax-deferral can offer a good, safe alternative to risky investments.

I have offered fixed annuities for over 20 years and track the best rates every month.

Currently I can get up to 3.30% guaranteed, 5 years.

At the YMCA

Run For God

T

Junior Triathlon Challenge at the Randolph-Asheboro YMCA

he Y cares very much about the health and wellbeing, physically and spiritually, of children in our community. The growing problem of child and youth obesity is of great concern to us. We are committed to providing opportunities for nutrition education and exercise programs that encourage healthy lifestyle habits and social responsibility in both children and families.

One of our most exciting community events is our upcoming 11th Annual Kid’s Tri at the Y on Saturday, June 14, 2014. In collaboration with businesses in our community who also care about children’s well-being, every child ages 6-14 can participate in the triathlon free of charge. They have the opportunity to learn firsthand how much fun exercise can be while swimming, biking, and running and are rewarded for their efforts. The grand finale is an awards ceremony at the YMCA Splash Pad for all triathletes and their family!

Following the community Tri at the Y, the YMCA will offer a new program this summer, the Run For God Junior Triathlon Challenge. This 8 week program beginning

48 | Asheboro Magazine - Issue 45

June 16 is designed to train youth ages 6-14 to swim, bike, and run competitively in their age group. Experienced athletes will coach and mentor youth to develop a lifelong love of triathlon training and participation while nurturing a relationship with Christ through weekly devotions and focusing on the following key points: • Sharing the gospel with kids, making it possible for them to learn, accept, and share the steps to peace with God. • Teaching kids the four disciplines of a triathlon and at the same time teach them how to put it all together in a way that could potentially make them competitive.

• Instill confidence into these children and at the same time teach them to understand the value of instilling confidence in others.

It is our hope that these two events will provide the opportunity for children in our community to have fun and positive experiences that encourage a healthy spirit, mind, and body. For more information about each program contact the YMCA at 625-1976 or visit our website at www.randolphasheboroymca.com. 

Drum Circle Activities Bring a South Seas Feeling to Lindley Park Elementary School

T

he halls of Lindley Park Elementary School sounded like a Polynesian village one recent afternoon as the beat of the drums and other percussion instruments echoed throughout the school. But those sounds weren’t coming from a group of South Seas visitors in town to entertain the students. It was actually Susan Jarrett’s music room echoing with the rhythms from a newly acquired set of drums and other percussion instruments, purchased with a grant funded by the Randolph Hospital Community Health Foundation.

When Susan Jarrett, Music Teacher for Lindley Park Elementary School, and her fellow educators were looking for new and innovative ways to engage their students in physical activities that would help them learn to work together toward a goal and create positive experiences, creating drum circle activities were a natural fit. “With the 19 drums and other instruments we purchased with the help of the Community Health Foundation, we will be able to reach all 460 students at Lindley Park through their weekly music classes,” says Jarrett. “We will also use the instruments and ‘playing time’ as a reward for our at-risk students who need some extra encouragement and positive reinforcement. It’s the magic of a drum circle in action.”

50 | Asheboro Magazine - Issue 45

The drums and other instruments, including bells, blocks, maracas and scraping instruments, or guiros, were ordered

by Jarrett and arrived at the school near the end of February, which was just in time to incorporate them in Black History Month festivities. “Our Fourth- and Fifth-grade students were able to use the instruments right away as a part of our Black History Month Celebration,” says Jarrett. “Our original plan was to use our Japanese Taiko drums, but they are too loud to use indoors. These new drums were perfect for the assembly we had planned.”

For 2014, the Randolph Hospital Community Health Foundation awarded health and wellness grants totaling over $77,720 to 10 different non-profit organizations across Randolph County. The Foundation was founded in 1995 and awarded its first grants in 1997. Contributions to the Foundation have been a valuable part of the Foundation’s ability to award over $700,000 in grants over the last 17 years.

Mother’s Day

Celebrating the Best Mother You’ve Ever Known

E

very second Sunday of May, we celebrate our first teachers, our first best friends, and our ever-helpful advisors: our mothers.

The Mother’s Day that we know today was largely founded by a mother and daughter in the early 20th Century. With their combined determination, Ann Reeves Jarvis and her daughter, Anna M. Jarvis, helped to establish the very first national Mother’s Day one-hundred years ago in 1914.

Ann R. Jarvis first organized a local “Mothers’ Friendship Day” in Grafton, West Virginia in order to reunite families separated during the Civil War. Her goal was to expand this local friendship day into a national memorial day for all mothers. The holiday was originally intended to be “a vehicle for organized social and political action by all mothers, not for celebrating the private services of one’s own particular mother.”

She died in 1905 before her holiday could reach the national stage. Three years later, her daughter, Anna M. Jarvis, decided to pick up where her mother left off. She worked with her friends and they successfully persuaded churches in Grafton and Philadelphia to dedicate their services to mothers on the second Sunday in May. This day (May 10th in 1908) was the closest Sunday to when her mother had passed away (May 9th).

Ever-determined, the younger Jarvis continued to 52 | Asheboro Magazine - Issue 45

advocate for a national celebration of mothers. Her voice was heard, and in 1914, President Woodrow Wilson officially declared that the second Sunday of May would be a holiday dedicated to the mothers of the United States.

Jarvis, however, did not latch onto her mother’s idea that the day should be widely dedicated to all mothers. In her Ph.D. dissertation, “Memorializing Motherhood: Anna Jarvis and the Defense of Her Mother’s Day,” Dr. Katharine Lane Antolini says that, to Jarvis, “the holiday wasn’t meant to celebrate all mothers. It was to celebrate the best mother you’ve ever known – your mother – as a son or daughter.”

The holiday was thus called “Mother’s Day” instead of “Mothers’ Day.” Within a few years, businesses took advantage of the potential wealth that Mother’s Day could bring. The holiday was quickly commercialized and turned into a day were exuberant amounts of money were spent on cards, candies, and flowers. Jarvis was deeply angered by the national gravitation towards materialism on the holiday she founded in honor of her own mother.

She spent the remaining years of her life fighting the overwhelming consumerism that she felt was swallowing the sentimental foundation of her holiday. She organized boycotts, threatened lawsuits, and even harangued First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt for using Mother’s Day to raise funds for charities.

In 1948, Anna Jarvis died at the age of 84 in Philadelphia’s Marshall Square Sanitarium. According to Antolini, “This woman, who died penniless in a sanitarium in a state of dementia, was a woman who could have profited from Mother’s Day if she wanted to. But she railed against those who did, and it cost her everything, financially and physically.”

In 2014, the National Retail Federation predicts that approximately $20 billion will be spent in some fashion or another on Mother’s Day. There’s little doubt that Jarvis is rolling in her grave at such incredible numbers. Whether we should share her indignation, however, is debatable. While the call to celebrate moms in simpler ways will always be valid, that doesn’t mean we should chastise those who crack open their piggy banks for their moms. As long as we set aside time to fully appreciate our favorite super-women, and as long as we let them know that they are loved, that’s what truly matters in the end. 
