Letter From the Editor This is me at the 1984 Texas Road Race Championship.

Another picture of me at the 1984 Texas Road Race Championship.
ack in 1980 during a high school German Club trip to Fredricksburg, TX, I noticed a guy on the bus wearing a cycling hat. The German Club was comprised of kids from many different classes, most of which I had never met before. I introduced myself to him (his name was Chirs Giordanelli) and we started talking about cycling. During the several-hour bus ride, Chris and I talked about bicycle racing, the movie Breaking Away and the difference between his $1,000 racing bike and I my Schwinn Varsity. I must have expressed an interest in racing because soon after, Chris and I started riding together. After doing a couple of short rides, one day he asked me if I wanted to ride to New Braunfels (we lived in San Antonio, Texas at the time) which was about 30 miles away. In retrospect, I wasn’t in shape enough to do a 60-mile ride, but I agreed to do it anyhow. The first leg of the ride was great. We ate lunch, rested a bit and then began our ride back. About 10 miles into the ride home, my legs started to seize up and I couldn’t turn the pedals. In cycling "speak" I bonked. Chris remained calm, got off his bike, adjusted the seat so that I would be able to reach the pedals and let me ride his 20 lb. -$1,000 Raleigh professional racing bike the rest of the way home while he rode my 40 lb. Schwinn. Up to that point I never understood why someone would pay $1,000 for a bicycle, but after riding it for 20 miles, I was sold and cycling became my passion. Over the years, I became an excellent bike racer, but more importantly I developed a real love for the sport. For this reason, it gives me great pleasure to be involved with the Asheboro in Motion Criterium, even if it’s just as the publisher of this event magazine and a spectator at the races. Who knows, maybe next year you will see me in the pack as it snakes its way down Fayetteville Street. Finally, if you aren’t from Asheboro, welcome. Enjoy the race and all the events that have been planned for your enjoyment! Whether I am racing or not, I hope to see you next year, if not sooner. Take Care,

T
he Asheboro/Randolph Chamber of Commerce is pleased to be able to bring the Third Annual “Asheboro in Motion” Criterium to our community and the 2013 Criterium has something for everyone. In addition to the excitement of world class cyclists racing side by side at speeds over forty miles per hour, the nationally acclaimed Kings BMX Stunt Show will be back in town with their high flying BMX stunt show. Maybe you caught their recent performance on the TV show America’s Got Talent, but if not, you can see them on May 4th in Bicentennial Park with shows at 11:00 am, 1:30 and 3:00 pm. Also, you will not want to miss the Adult Trike races. Last year’s winning team from Randolph Bank & Trust is coming back to defend their title and several teams have already signed up to take their crown away. The Randolph Arts Guild will also be hosting Art on Sunset with a talented group of artists and crafters offering their wares along Sunset Avenue. Also, while you’re in Downtown Asheboro enjoying the activities, we hope you will take the opportunity to visit some of the many restaurants and shops in the area. You’ll find everything from specially brewed coffees to vintage wines, antiques and collectibles.

The Human Motion Institute at Randolph Hospital By Leigh Anna Johnson Public Relations Coordinator Randolph Hospital
O
ver the last several years, Randolph Hospital has partnered with Randolph Orthopedics & Sports Medicine to craft an orthopedic program specifically designed to meet the needs of patients within the community. The result was the creation of The Human Motion Institute (HMI) at Randolph Hospital. It is a comprehensive approach to providing quality orthopedic care to patients consisting of five services including: joint replacement, sports medicine, rehabilitation, fracture care and spine care. Recently, The Human Motion Institute was granted a two-year disease-specific certification from The Joint Commission, making it one of 12 hospitals in NC with this certification. A representative from The Joint Commission came to Randolph Hospital and based the results of the certification on interviews with current patients and reviews of past patient records. Focus was placed directly on the structure of The Human Motion Institute, specific performance improvement initiatives and program development. “We are very excited about this certification from The Joint Commission,” said Mary Beth Jenkins, service line manager with The Human Motion Institute. “Our team has consistently worked towards improving 10
patient outcomes and we have placed additional focus on creating the best experiences for our patients. Whether they are joint replacement patients or simple seeking rehabilitation for an injury, we have put in place processes that encourage fluid communication among all providers caring for the patients,” she added. The Joint Commission’s Disease-Specific Care Certification Program, is designed to evaluate clinical programs across the continuum of care. Certification requirements address three core areas: compliance with consensus-based national standards, effective use of evidence-based clinical practice guidelines to manage and optimize care and an organized approach to performance improvement activities. In addition to the disease-specific certification, The Human Motion Institute is a unique program with four fellowshiptrained orthopedic surgeons. Dr. Megan Swanson is a joint replacement fellow and Drs. Lance Sisco and Jeffrey Yaste are sports medicine fellows and Dr. Shakeel Durrani is a spine fellow. These surgeons are performing innovative procedures including: subvastus knee replacements, anterior hip replacements and anatomic ACL repairs. The numbers don’t lie. The Human Motion Institute at Randolph Hospital is treating more and more patients and they

are leaving with good results. Besides certification from The Joint Commission, specialized providers and innovative procedures, The Human Motion Institute’s patient satisfaction score is in the 99th percentile and there has been over 290 percent growth in major joint replacement volumes. The Human Motion Institute at Randolph Hospital is seeing more and more patients and they are happily returning to their everyday lives within a matter of weeks after surgery. Often times, patients who receive care through The Human Motion Institute at Randolph Hospital are less likely to be readmitted into the hospital, compared to other organizations. And The Human Motion Institute is now a destination spot for patients seeking help for their orthopedic conditions, including patients from the Cayman Island and Kansas City, MO. The Human Motion Institute at Randolph Hospital is a comprehensive service dedicated to providing the utmost quality
healthcare to patients with orthopedicrelated conditions. “We believe positive patient experiences are created by executing the patient’s care plan using fluid communication and collaboration with the physician, the physician offices, surgical staff, nursing staff, home health professional and rehabilitation specialist,” said Jenkins. If you would like more information about The Human Motion Institute, please log on randolphhumanmotioninstitute.org. n Last year’s Human Motion Institute at Randolph Hospital’s “Trike” team.

Dinosaurs Roar Back to Life at NC Zoo
Story & photos by Tom Gillespie, N.C. Zoo staff
T
hey're baaaack! The most successful temporary exhibit ever at the North Carolina Zoo roars back bigger and better for a second season when "Dinosaurs" returns to the park Easter weekend through Oct. 31. As part of this limited-engagement outdoor exhibit, visitors will encounter dinosaurs representing species that once roamed North America throughout the Cretaceous and Jurassic periods--from gargantuan herbivores, to savage predators. Through the magic of futuristic technology, these mammoth, life-like animatronic creatures will offer a full-blown dino-reality experience to zoo visitors as they travel back in time along a lush, winding pathway with ancient plants, where a new experience lurks at every turn. Each dinosaur is built on a steel frame and meticulously equipped with textured, intricately painted rubber skin, bold colors and theatrical touches that make it seem real. Realistic movements include grasping hands, menacing claws and gnashing teeth. Real dinosaurs, of course, became extinct ages ago, but each of the 15 life-like (and most, life-sized) dinosaurs offer best-guess snapshots of those prehistoric animals based on the most up-to-date research. State-ofthe-art electronics power each dinosaur to control the movements and sounds. The realistic movements are produced by a pneumatic-piston system that enables the dinosaurs to move smoothly and precisely. A whole new cast of creatures has been chosen for this year's experience and promises to be bigger, bolder and better. Among the featured species will be
12
Giganotosaurus-all 43 feet of it-which will take the place of last year's Tyrannosaurus Rex. “Giga� is actually believed to have been larger than the T-Rex, with a massive skull more than six feet long.
Asheboro In Motion Criterium Event Magazine
Other new species for 2013 will include Acrocanthosaurus, a large carnivorous dinosaur whose name means "high spined lizard;" Amargasaurus, featuring elongated pairs of spines running from the base of the head down to the base of the neck; Citipati, an emu-sized creature with a distinct toothless head crest and proto-feathers. Others include Edmontonia, one of the last known living dinosaurs; Parasaurolophus, a massive duck-billed dinosaur with a distinct elongated crest that has been shown to function as a resonating chamber, possibly for sending low, deep, sub-sonic sounds to herd members miles away. And returning is the always-popular Triceratops, easily one of the most well known and recognizable dinosaurs with its three distinct horns on its face. Others include Coelophysis, Deltadromeus, Parasaurolophus, Styracosaurus and Quetzalcoatlus (the most requested when asked of Zoo visitors what new dinosaur they most wanted to see this year). During their trek back in time, visitors will additionally be able to explore a paleontologist's tent and get the latest scoop on fossil sites in North Carolina. At the end of the excursion, they can dig around in fossil pits for an ancient relic to take home or climb aboard a yellow jeep for a family photo.
These giant mechanical dinosaurs were designed and built to scale by Texas-based Billings Productions, North America’s largest maker of life-size animatronic dinosaurs for zoos, museums and theme parks. Their creations include 50 different species-from Allosaurus to Tyrannosaurus rex. Their clients have included zoos in Houston, Cincinnati and Detroit as well as Dinovotion in France and Misaki Park in Japan. The company, founded in 2003, is one of only a few enterprises in the world that produce large, life-size animatronic dinosaurs for traveling and permanent exhibits and is the only American company that specializes in creating animatronic creatures that can withstand the outdoor elements. "Kids really connect with the dinosaurs," said Tom O'Konowitz, marketing assistant at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, where the exhibit had a record-breaking run. "They tend to already know a lot about the different species when they get to the zoo. You can see how excited they get when they're up close with these huge creatures right in front of them." So, whether you’re a youngster with a passion for paleontology or an oldster with just a passing fancy for prehistoric critters, “Dinosaurs 2013” is a "can’t-miss" attraction this year at the N.C. Zoo. n

Art on Sunset to Feature the Work of Local Artists
he Randolph Arts Guild is excited to announce the return of Art on Sunset, a Juried Arts and Crafts show that will feature the work of 20+ artists and artisans. This year’s event is set for Saturday May 4th, 2013 from 11am - 6pm in downtown Asheboro, NC. This year Art on Sunset will coincide with the Asheboro in Motion Criterium. For the past few years the event was a part of Art May-Ham, a partnership between Habitat For Humanity, The Randolph Arts Guild and the City of Asheboro. This year Habitat for Humanity has the opportunity to host their portion of the event at the Randolph Mall. There they will hold their BBQ cook-off and a battle of the bands on the same day as the events downtown, Saturday, May 4th 2013. Derrick Sides, Director of the Randolph Arts Guild sees the benefit of all these events happening on the same day. “If you play your cards right, you can get yourself a BBQ sandwich on your way downtown to buy some art and watch some bikes race, then stop by to get a BBQ tray on the way home. You can’t beat it.” The event started in 2006 as a complement to the Randolph Arts Guild’s other well known event, Fall Festival. This event is much smaller and focuses solely on artists and crafters. Unlike Fall Festival, artists must
