Publisher’s Letter

T

he rains have finally stopped and it’s beginning to feel like a lot like Spring! Flowers are blooming and the strawberries are ripe. I even saw my first hummingbird hovering at my window this morning as I was writing this.

When I think back to childhood, some of my favorite memories are of horses. Our neighbors had a horse, and I would race home from school and change into play clothes, run up to the back field, cross the road, knock on their door and ask if I could ride. Sometimes I could, and sometimes I could only brush the horse and breathe in that great horse-y smell. Although I haven’t ridden in years, and was never very good at it, I’ve always cherished those memories and had a deep love for horses.

Spirit Horse Ranch offers that same experience to local children and adults. Their programs allow children to learn about horses, how to act around them, how to care for them, and eventually how to ride them. Through all of this, the children learn responsibility, kindness, a love of animals, and best of all, they are outdoors in the fresh air instead of locked in their room playing video games.

Check out what Spirit Horse Ranch can offer your child in the way of riding lessons, or afterschool and summer camp programs on page 8. Make plans to join them in June at their Wild West Hoedown (details on page 18).

This year (2019) we are celebrating our 100th issue. We are hosting a Business After Hours with the Asheboro/Randolph Chamber of Commerce to celebrate our clients and our readers, as well as the community that we call home. More information will be coming out about that in the next few weeks, so stay tuned to our Facebook page.

It’s prom season, so make sure that you send us your favorite prom photos via our Facebook page or email them to sherry@asheboromagazine.com to be included in the next issue of the magazine.

Now that the weather is cooperating, there are lots of fun activities going on in the next month or so - make sure you check out pages 32-33 for details.

6 | asheboromagazine.com

And as always, SHOP LOCAL. Don’t forget to visit our local merchants, farmers markets, nurserys and restaurants for all your spring and summer goodies!

Enjoy the exceptional weather we are having and this isuse of the magazine.

Cheers to you and Happy Reading,

Sherry

SPIRIT HORSE RANCH

Healing through horses

S

pirit Horse Ranch (SHR) is a local nonprofit 501(c)3 located just outside the city of Asheboro. Formed in 2016, it is home to six horses, six ponies and one donkey. Their mission is to provide life enriching experiences to children and adults through the healing power of the horse. Rosie Goldstein, the Executive Director, has been working professionally with horses and students for over 30 years.

SHR provides riding lessons for all ages and instruction for those wanting to own a horse or who need advice or help with one they already own. Rosie has designed several programs to get kids outside enjoying nature and off their electronic devices. Healthy kids learning to be active, working together and learning all about horses.

The afterschool program for grade school children meets twice weekly for four weeks in the spring and fall. The summer reading program meets four times a week for three weeks during the months of July and August and is designed

8 | asheboromagazine.com

for children ages 8 to 11.

The children read a book about horses aloud to their favorite horse or pony, with the help of a volunteer.

Then they come back together as a group to discuss what they have read. Other activities include creative artwork, exercise, games, learning all about horses and best of all, time to ride.

SHR is home to the Randolph County 4-H Horse club, which meets twice weekly and is led

by Abbi Clark and Chloe Ellis. (which schools do they attend?)

SHR follows the guidelines and industry standards set forth by the Professional

Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship (PATH).

An organization started in 1969 to promote, support and certify riding centers and instructors in equine-assisted activities and therapies. PATH has more than 4,800 certified instructors and equine specialists, 881 member centers and over 8,000 members. Though PATH began with a focus on horseback riding as a form of physical

and mental therapy, it has since developed a multitude of different equine related activities.

This includes educational learning, ground work, stable management, cognitive and behavioral therapies and work with foster children, veterans and military personal.

Studying with PATH since 2016, Rosie is a certified Equine Specialist in Mental Health and Learning and Spirit Horse Ranch is a member center.

Throughout the world hundreds of thousands of individuals with and without special needs experience the rewarding benefits of time spent with horses. It could be a school child needing something to do, a young child with downs syndrome, a child with autism, a senior citizen recovering from a stroke, a teenager struggling with depression, or a veteran struggling to cope. Research shows that individuals of all ages who participate asheboromagazine.com | 9

in equine activities can experience physical and emotional rewards. Studies have also shown that children who struggle to learn in school benefit from time spent with horses and at the barn.

SHR has a program designed by Rebecca Miller, a certified PATH instructor, to help foster children or newly adopted children that are struggling with their environment. Children who have suffered abuse or neglect have good reason to be distrustful of people. For these children, a horse can provide an alternate living being with whom they can achieve a partnership through trust.

This type of relationship, often foreign to these children, can be the beginning of helping them build connections with the people around them as they get more comfortable with the horse. Their willingness to apply themselves will also improve.

This success eventually translates to improving their home, school and community environments.

SHR is always looking for volunteers, so if you love children and horses and would like to help, please contact Rosie at 336-736-0640. For more info, you can also visit their website at www.SpiritHorseRanchNC.org or check out their Facebook page for great information, photos of the horses and the children who work with them.

SHR is hosting it’s 1st Annual Wild West Hoedown, on Friday June 14th from 6:30-9:30 at the Randolph Senior Center. Great food, music provided by Susan Hunt, line dancing lessons and contest, silent auction, raffles and more! Come dressed as your favorite western character or just

wear your country best, this is sure to be a fun night! Tickets are $30 each or 2 for $50. Limited seats are available so contact Rosie to get yours as soon as possible! If you or your business would like to sponsor the event, contact Rosie Goldstein for that as well. We hope to see you there!

ASK THE EXPERT YOUR FEET

5 At-Home Treatments for Heel Pain

I

f you have ever suffered from heel pain, otherwise known as plantar fasciitis, you know all too well the excruciating and debilitating pain that is associated with the condition; and you are not alone. It’s estimated that one in 10 people will develop plantar fasciitis, which is most prevalent in people between ages of 40 and 60 years.

Plantar fasciitis occurs when the thick band of connective tissue that runs from your heel to the ball of your foot, also known as the fascia, becomes inflamed and causes pain in the heel, especially in the morning or after long periods of inactivity.

If you are suffering from heel pain and cannot immediately make it to a podiatrist for an evaluation, there are some at-home treatments you can do to help alleviate the pain: 1. Stretch Your Fascia: Sit on the ground, put your toes up against a wall and keep your arch and heel flat on the ground so the toes stretch. Hold this position for 10 seconds and repeat 10 times for three or four times a day.

2. Use A Frozen Water Bottle: Freeze a water bottle then place it on the ground and roll the arch of your foot over the water bottle. Be sure to try this after you

have stretched your fascia, because the tendon will not stretch when its ice cold from the water bottle.

3. Freeze A Golf Ball: Place a frozen golf ball on the floor and roll your foot over it. Start at your toes and work your way to the back of your heel. Be sure to apply pressure for 15 seconds before moving to a new area of the foot. Once you have massaged each part of your foot, roll the golf ball up and down your entire foot.

4. Foam Roll All Muscles: Use a foam roller on all the muscles above your foot. Tight muscles in other areas of your body could be contributing to the problem.

For example, tight shoulders can cause your arms to swing improperly, which can cause your hips to not align correctly and change your foot strike.

5. Use Custom Orthotics: A custom orthotic made specifically for your foot can help support the arch and prevent it from flexing. Also choose supportive shoes like tennis shoes, instead of flip flops, which can help take the pressure of our arch with proper support.

But sometimes at-home treatments don’t completely alleviate the pain and more aggressive treatment options are needed. When the at-home treatments prove unsuccessful, you should contact your podiatrist to have your condition evaluated.

At Triad Foot & Ankle Center we have state-of-the-art technology to combat heel pain, called Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology (EPAT®). The FDA-approved, non-invasive technology is the most successful treatment option for plantar fasciitis when compared to traditional treatment methods. There is minimal risk of complications and little to no required recovery time. The treatment is administered in the office, so hospitalization or anesthesia is not required.

ASK THE EXPERT YOUR FLOORS

What kind of flooring is best for kitchens?

A

re you looking to upgrade the flooring in your kitchen this year? There are several things to think about when considering your options. The type you choose will depend on the specific durability features you need and the look you want to achieve.

Many people prefer hardwood flooring for kitchens, for its enduring beauty and the value it adds to a home. Hardwood is especially popular in homes with open floor plans because it flows gracefully from room to room and has the versatility to meet the decorating demands of your living, dining and kitchen areas. Whether you choose solid or engineered hardwood, just be careful to wipe up spills quickly.

Among other flooring categories you’ll find a wide range of designs — many of which realistically

mimic natural hardwood and stone tile with vivid visuals, authentic textures and a spectrum of ontrend colors.

Kitchen-worthy durability features: Superior Scratch and Stain Resistant High-traffic kitchens demand floors that can withstand wear and tear. Look in the hardwood, vinyl sheet and luxury vinyl tile categories for select collections that feature a hardened wear layer to help maintain the beauty of your floor through the years.

Defense Against Dents Dropped dishes and heavy appliances can do a lot of damage on the wrong floors. Consider rigid core, engineered tile or laminate.

Water Resistance All kitchen floors must be able to endure inevitable spills. You’ll

find the highest levels of water resistance in luxury vinyl tile or rigid core collections. They should be 100% waterproof, so planks won’t swell, buckle or lose integrity when exposed to water.

Comfort Many people love the look of stone, ceramic or porcelain tile for the kitchen, but these floors are cold and hard. Engineered groutable tile is an outstanding alternative that gives you the same natural look as stone, but with a surface that’s more forgiving underfoot, and not prone to cracking.

Whatever look you choose for your kitchen, Majestic Floor Covering can help you every step of the way. Call our showroom to see examples of these and other options available.

Mike Key owns Majestic Floor Covering. Majestic Floor Covering has been in the construction and flooring business since 2003 and has built many strong relationships with home and business owners. They supply any type of flooring material, color and style that you need, whether hard woods, laminates, tiles, or carpeting.

TIPS TO SPRUCE UP YOUR HOME THIS SPRING

I

n today’s real estate market, you can’t afford to stick a sign on your lawn and hope for the best. Your house is competing with other properties in your area and price range.

The difference between whether someone is motivated to put in an offer now or wait it out to see if the price will go down, is how much he or she really wants your house. When getting your home ready to sell, remember that you are romancing prospective buyers.

Spring brings sunshine, showers -- and plenty of opportunities for staging your home for sale. Make the most of the season with these fresh updates that are sure to attract buyers.

Whip your yard into shape. When you’re selling in the spring, you need to get your yard in shape as

quickly as possible. Clear away winter debris in your yard, mow the lawn, and put together a planter full of colorful flowers to greet people as they approach your home.

Do some spring cleaning. It’s natural to want to spruce up your space in the spring, so clean away!

Wash windows inside and out, pressure wash the exterior of your home, and clear out your gutters of winter leaves and twigs. Keep bathrooms neat and tidy, and make sure your kitchen is sparkling clean.

A clean home will impress buyers and make it seem even more appealing.

Box up your winter wardrobe. Bulky winter clothes can take up lots of space, so move them out to declutter your closets. They will appear larger the less crowded they are, and you’ll impress buyers with all

Bring spring aromas indoors. Spring is not only a colorful season, but a fragrant one, too. Bring the aroma indoors. Scents have a profound effect on mood, so infusing scent into your decor with fresh cut plants/ flowers can change the overall feeling of a space.

Don’t use heavy aroma diffusers or incense, as this can turn potential buyers off.

Free Skin Cancer Screening at Randolph Health Cancer Center

D

uring the spring months, everyone is very excited to get back outside and play in the sun.

Although Vitamin D is essential to many aspects of life, like anything else, too much of one thing is never good. Randolph Health Cancer Center will host a free skin cancer screening on Thursday, May 23rd.

According to the American Cancer Society, more than one million Americans develop skin cancer each year. While skin cancer is the most prevalent form of cancer among both women and men, it is easy to detect and treat.

If you have a mole or discoloration that you’re concerned about, come have it checked on May 23rd between 5:30 – 7:30 p.m. at Randolph Health Cancer Center located at 373 N. Fayetteville Street, by Dr. Todd Williams, Gay Markham, NP, and Donna Jennings, PA-C. This screening is available for anyone who has not had a skin cancer screening in the last two years and who have an unusual mole or discoloration.

“Although there are many types of skin cancer, the three most common types are Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC), Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) and Malignant Melanoma (MM),” explained Dr. Todd Williams. “One thing that is typical of skin cancer is that it tends to grow and change over time. Moles or spots that change over time should be evaluated by your healthcare provider,” he added.

AT THE YMCA

The Benefits of Summer Camp

O

ver 14 million children in America will head off to day camp and overnight camps this summer, and they return home with a lot more than a fun camp t-shirt. The summer camp experience offers kids profound benefits that parents may not even be aware of.

According to key research in the area, there are 8 key benefits to children attending these camps. The first is that camp nurtures social skills. Camp is a community away from home and school where kids learn to make friends, work together and with their adult mentors, and grow in new environments.

Next, camp “eases the summer slide.” Research shows that lack of activity and stimulation over summer break causes children to lose as much as two months of grade level equivalency in math. Also, reading and spelling comprehension show steady decline.

Third, camp models healthy living. According to the center for disease control, obesity in children has doubled in the last 30 years. Active youth programs like summer camp contribute to kids staying busy and active during their days. Camps are also offering more healthy food options to children as well.

Camp enhances self-confidence, according to a study of camper outcomes conducted by Philliber Research Associates- showing that 70 percent of parents reported their child gaining self-confidence after attending camp. Whether they conquered homesickness, were pushed out of their comfort zone in new activities, or simply made new friends, this is an experience they likely have at summer camp.

Also, camp helps kids unplug and build new

friendships. In a digital world that seems to have their sole attention these days, camp is a safe space that allows them to slow down, connect with one another, and focus on fun. This environment is ideal for stepping away from the pressure and structure of school and making new friends.

Camp reintroduces your kids to nature. According to The Nature Conservancy, only about 10 percent of kids spend time outdoors every day. Kids say they just aren’t that interested, or maybe it’s just a result of the digital age we’re in. No matter the reason, camp gives them a chance to let go of their devices, and play outside again- like kids.

Camp also fosters teamwork. This kind of environment where kids learn that to succeed they must work together with their peers and camp leaders is a positive one they may be missing elsewhere.

Lastly, camp encourages personal growth. While

camp may seem like any other summer pastime, they can be rewarded with skills that can help them in school, in relationships, and at home. Camp is a comfortable place where kids are safe to play, learn, try new things, and be themselves.

A leading nonprofit committed to nurturing the potential of youth, the Y has been a leader in providing summer camp for over 130 years. The RandolphAsheboro YMCA Summer Day Camp continues to give youth an enriching, safe experience with caring staff and volunteers who model positive values that help build their kids’ character.

The Randolph-Asheboro YMCA Summer Camp encourages parents to give their kids the gift of camp. And, to ensure that all youth have the chance to experience camp, the Invest in People Scholarship fund offers financial assistance to those in need.

Additionally, if you’d like to help send kids to camp, you can donate to ymca.net/ForaBetterUs or www. randolphasheboroymca.com.

Let’s Talk About It

When the Honeymoon is Over

H

ey all, I am so excited to connect with you! ‘ Tis the season of something borrowed and something blue; the season of saying “I DO!” In our 9 years of working with our clients at the Kloset, we have found that there is a very important area that often falls to the wayside when planning for a successful marriage.

When we think about decision-making and marriage… we think about mutuality. Both decide to get married, to have children, how to raise the children, what to do with the finances, who does what chores around the house … But missing from this mix is the conversation about sex. The mutual decisionmaking around the quality, quantity, and type of intimacy expected.

Have you discussed how your soon-to-be spouse discovered/learned their intimate expectations? Do they have any? How will these be communicated?

When communicated to, how will they be received?

Were they encouraged to explore and discover themselves, or taught that this is a chapter best left closed until marriage?

There are no right or wrong answers, but knowing the answers should be a priority.

Most couples do not receive this advice or the warnings of the inevitable pitfalls that come when a couple finds themselves in a stale marriage due to silent expectations and a lack of communication.

We have clients who have been married for 20+ years who have NEVER talked about sex with one other. Let that sink in … 20 years with the same person and have NEVER talked about physical intimacy.

When the Honeymoon phase is over (studies show around 6 months post wedding day, I think around 2 years is more accurate) one partner can find themselves longing for lost connection, physical touch, closeness, and affection… and the other may be thinking, “What is the big deal? Its just sex.”

Well, it’s a huge deal for the spouse who desires

more. The feelings of being wanted, loved, attractive, and connected being deprived is where intimacy on ALL levels goes out the door.

They slowly stop sitting next to each other, holding hands, laughing at each other’s jokes … they stop being friends. This is where the risk of infidelity and divorce increase dramatically.

The reasons for low and/or an insatiable desire can be complicated and deep seated. The good news is that the primary cause for a not so exciting marriage is the simplest to solve.

But before we dive into the solution, something needs to be said and understood.

“Low sexual desire IS NOT a Women’s issue!” Read that one more time.

Allow me to be brutally honest and give you a little known fact… a woman’s libido, when allowed to bloom without stigmas and is properly nurtured and understood, can make that of the male gender look lethargic at best… but that “Talk” is for another article

(wink) Unfortunately low libido in men is one of the best-kept secrets, and this has caused more harm in relationships than realized.

Now that we have that out of the way… Let’s dig into the solution.

When it comes to intimacy in marriage, the person with the lower desire controls the sexual relationship.

It isn’t necessarily manipulation or from a place of malice, its just if the lower drive isn’t on board … it isn’t going to happen.

In this situation one partner decides no sex and expects the other to accept it, not complain about it, and to remain faithful.

This is an unworkable arrangement. One partner somehow finds him or herself in a long-term relationship where there is this two-hour window, between 10 pm and 12 pm on Friday, that there may be a chance of some sexy time. They know to not expect it or to mention it any other time.

When asked how this makes him/her feel the answer will almost always be that they don’t feel loved, desired, or attractive. Worse is that there are so many nights they lay beside the person they have committed to spending the rest of their life with feeling alone, internalizing these emotions, and wondering why they aren’t wanted or worthy of intimacy.

It’s not surprising that in these situations the lower libido person hasn’t considered what their partner may be feeling when rejected. It’s often easy to get caught up in our own feelings of “Am I up for it or even in the mood?”

Communication is 90% of any lasting relationship … especially a marriage. In the early stages the higher desire will communicate their feelings with and open

heart and vulnerability, saying things like “ I miss you, I want intimacy with you.”

When these pleas for connection are met with little or no response, which they often are, then that vulnerability turns into anger and contempt.

Anger that stems from rejection leads to withdrawal.

Sexual withdrawal leads to heightened anger and that will lead to no sex at all. This cycle goes on and on while both partners wait for the other to change, and this is how marriages go down the drain.

So what can we do to not fall into this cycle when one partner has a lower or higher desire?

First, anger must be kept in check regardless of how the other person may appear to be thinking or feeling.

Time must be spent and conversations must be had to try and understand what he/she is actually feeling … and why. Connection and intimacy are rarely invited into the bedroom if not first experienced in the rest of the house.

Second, the lower libido has to understand that it IS NOT just about them and how they feel. Their partners feelings are equally as important and sometimes the outcome of what was thought to be “not desired or on the agenda”, ends up being the best part of the day.

The results of this is the higher desire will be nicer, more present, happier, and more grateful. But that’s not the best part … the best part is that most of the time even when sexy time isn’t necessarily wanted equally by both partners, once the game get’s started, it evolves into a deeper connection and conversation which is where all intimacy is built.

Local Principal Completes Leadership Program

P

enny Crooks, principal of Asheboro High School, recently completed the Distinguished Leadership Program (DLP), a year-long leadership development program for practicing school principals designed and provided by the North Carolina Principals and Assistant Principal’s Association and sponsored by the American Express Foundation through the North Carolina Alliance for School Leadership Development (NCASLD.) The Distinguished Leadership in Practice Program (DLP) uses a non-traditional professional development model that is aligned to the performance evaluation standards adopted by the State Board of Education for North Carolina’s school leaders. This unique cohort-based program is designed to limit principals’ time away from their schools by allowing them to attend face-to-face sessions once every other month while accessing on-line assignments, materials and coaching in between face-to-face sessions.

Principals engage in a series of authentic activities throughout the year-long experience that are designed to build the capacity of their schools and their own capacity as “Distinguished” school leaders.

“The leadership of the school principal is by far one of the most important factors in school quality.

RCC offering QuickBooks, couponing courses

R

andolph Community College is offering opportunities to both keep track of finances and save money, starting at the end of this month.

“QuickBooks, Introduction” begins May 7 and runs through June 13 on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6-8 p.m. in room 106 of the Continuing Education and Industrial Center (CEIC) on the Asheboro Campus. In this course (#70272), students will learn how to do accounting for their businesses using this popular accounting software. Topics will include using special journals and subsidiary ledgers, and generating professional financial statements.

The cost is $70.

Attendees can learn how to better-manage their budget at RCC’s couponing workshops. Most participants easily save the cost of the workshop and more during their first grocery shopping trip using the techniques learned in these courses.

In the “Extreme Couponing I” workshop, students will learn to save an average of 50-75 percent by using coupons and drastically cutting their food budgets by bargain shopping. Attendees learn how to find, organize, and use coupons. The class is designed to make using coupons easy and fun, and includes a course handout, freebies, and door prizes.

The workshop will change the way participants shop and teach them to save more money than they ever imagined.

There are three dates to take the class: Monday, May 13, from 5:30-7:30 p.m. (#70110); Saturday, May 18, from 9-11 a.m. (#70111), and Tuesday, May 21, from 5:30-7:30 p.m. (#70113). The cost of the course is $16. All three classes are at RCC’s Randleman Center, located at 100 Hilliary Street.

“Advanced Extreme Couponing” will help students take their couponing to the next level. Participants will learn how to get most of their family’s toiletries 44 | asheboromagazine.com

and household items for free or even make money doing it. The two-hour class will cover everything students need to know to play what couponers call “The Drugstore Game” — the strategy to get tons of what their families need and learn how to shop specific area stores. The workshop includes course handouts, freebies, and door prizes.

There are three dates to take the class: Tuesday, April 30, from 5:30-7:30 p.m. in room 233 of the CEIC on the Asheboro Campus (#70106); Tuesday, May 14, from 5:30-7:30 p.m. at the Randleman Center (#70109), and Monday, May 20, from 5:30-7:30 p.m. at the Randleman Center (#70112).

Emerging Artist Series Mightier Than Me Thursday, May 9th from 6-8 pm; Sunset Theatre - $10 ticket at the door

G

reensboro band, Mightier Than Me, are coming off of a big 2018. While making a name for themselves in the NC Triad area, the high-energy alternative rock band has built a reputation for catchy songs laced with lush vocals, searing guitar riffs, raw power, and real emotion.

Add to that the work ethic of a veteran band, and it suddenly becomes clear why they earned Rock Band of the Year honors at the Carolina Music Awards in 2017.

Randy Williams, Wes Frank Norman, Sarah Barker and Robert Justin Seawell met on the first day of class at Guilford Technical Community College. After the school’s Ensemble audition, the four immediately realized they were on the same musical page and started working on music. They approached drummer Charlie Fuson to finish their lineup. After a couple of writing sessions, they knew that forming a band was the way to go.

Mightier Than Me has caught the attention of media the world over. The band has been featured in entertainment publications such as Yes! Weekly and Everything Music, have performed on Record Greensboro, Jared & Katie in the Morning on WKZL radio, and Time Warner Cable News, and have taken part in dozens of interviews, podcasts, and other multimedia outlets.

The self-titled debut EP of Mightier Than Me has been played internationally, earning two top 5 singles on indie radio stations in Australia and the United Kingdom, as well as regular airplay on stations in the region. “O.L.E.” and “To Be Determined” are set to be classics. Of the latter, Rebecca Cullen of Stereo Stickman says, “This one in particular could easily create a wave through an array of audiences...a definite highlight of the whole release.” Of the EP itself, she writes, “This new project by Mightier Than Me is one that presents listeners with high levels of physical and emotional energy, as well as impressive musical skills, and brilliant songwriting.” Their EP

release show, a highly anticipated event, was the first show to ever sell out the concert space at GTCC’s Center for Creative and Performing Arts in High Point.

Seats were removed to make room for the crowd of over 200 spectators.

In November 2018, MTM released the music video for “Big As Life,” the first single from the upcoming LP “Information Age”. The pro wrestling themed video, shot at Fire Star Pro Wrestling and featuring NWA Champion The Boogie Woogie Man, was immediately met with thousands of views from every corner of the globe. The second single, “All That’s Left” (release date: March 1, 2019), is the most collaborative song in their growing catalogue.

“Information Age” will hit major music distributors in April 18, 2019.
